The Other White Whistles and Faputa's Origin Theory DEBUNKED? Abyss Theory #1 

Hello everyone! So I’ve noticed this video is garnering some traction and after rewatching this video and looking at some comments…I NEED to address some misinformation and misconceptions, I’ve noticed. Firstly, the information regarding the role of Plague Doctors is COMPLETELY UNTRUE. This video makes it sound like all plague doctors spread pestilence with the soul intention of garnering a profit…which ISNT true. In fact, I’m unsure as to why I made it sound like truth 4 years ago…They were viewed as a bad omen amongst the plague BUT THAT DOESNT MAKE THEM BAD PEOPLE. THEY WORKED to save people who couldn’t afford more traditional doctors. Please pay no attention to that segment, my past self was a dumbass. Also! When looking over comments, a lot of people have been assuming that I’m the one who posed the “Faputa is the reincarnation of Riko’s soul theory” which isn’t true. This video was designed to DEBUNK that theory at the time, not encourage it…however! I’ve seen a bit of hate towards that theory and I don’t think that’s acceptable considering when the internet first posed this theory, it was WAY before Made In Abyss had even introduced Faputa as a fully fledged character. Time is an important factor to consider. Please don’t call out this theory in a harsh manner, as those who posed it could be reading these comments. That’s all from me. Thanks for reading and also supporting the content ❤️ - Michael

I think judging by the nature of plague doctors, Sralja will at first come off as a benevolent, helpful figure and will likely help the gang out but in return burden them and cause problems along the way.

Faputa could not be Riko because time moves much slower in the lower layers of the abyss. So 10 years on the surface probably wouldn't even be 5 years in the abyss

Everyone turned into their fursonas.

It was probably Lyza who named Reg. She is someone who most likely knew Riko's dog before she went down into the depths. Riko just happened to get the same idea as Lyza when it came to naming.

My theory about Reg is that he is a human before and he become partially robot- humanoid because he receive the blessing of the abyss.

Personnaly, I think the white whistles are simply the lorekeepers of the Abyss and will appear near the end of the journey. Think about it, the lord of mystery will reveal the pit's darkests secrets while the lord of guidance will, as his title implies, guide the group through the seven (or more) layer. I'm betting they will both appear at the same time, or separated by a short amount of time, but will most likely not be on the same team, as while they both resided in the fifth layer, they traversed it through different ways, but they did so in a short amount of time between the two dives and while disrespecting the lord of dawn in the process because he is the one revealing this info in the manga (note that the movie skipped that scene). In conclusion, they are rival lorekeepers who will keep fleeing until the very end of the journey

8:01 My outlandish theory is that all relics have something like soul stuff or universe altering substances and faputa is linked very lightly to Rico so she felt as to name reg his real name

I can prove the "Faputa is the reincarnation of Riko" theory wrong. a. Faputa knew Regs name before Riko ever gave him his name. it has to be either a coincident, or some other force is at play here, but Reg had his name before he met Riko, forgot it, then Riko just so happened to name him Reg again. I think this section of the manga was just a way to show that Faputa knew Reg in the past, and its a *pure coincidence* that Riko named him Reg. b. Riko is 13, Faputa is 110, how could Faputa be the reincarnation of someone who wouldn't even be born for 97 years?

Theory - Reg is actually Lyza's second child, who is actually the twin of Riko who was left in the abyss by Lyza. Lyza decided to go on her final dive to rescue Reg and get him to the surface. When she reaches where Reg is, it turns out he was adopted by the Robot Units from bellow the sixth layer, where they imbued him with their tech allowing him to ascend. Reg is then trained by Lyza on delving and how to reach the top of the Abyss and reunite him with his sister.

Wakuna is either the final villain, or the one who will help defeat final villain

You tried I like the idea of the other white whistles being just as bad as bondrew it could be a message on how we idealise heroes that have committed atrocities in the past and it could also make rikos mother a morally grey figure but I’m completely talking out of my ass ............ as for the other white whistles I feel that because the plague doctor looks the most terrifying he might not actually be as awful as the other who since being down in the abyss for so long could be completely mad

In Greek myth Dolphins and Ravens where messengers of Apollo. And are widely associated with prophecy and the gods around the world.

PLEASE! TALK ABOUT THE REG DOG THEORY!!

This was awesome I can't wait for next week! I never really thought about wakuna before but now I'm excited. I think an interesting video idea would be talking about Riko seeing a lack of humanity in Reg and how that makes her personality that of a white whistle. If you kinda wanna see what I'm talking about there is a video called Made in abyss, Eromanga sensei the biggest problem in anime... Or something like that. It contrasts and analyzes and address the controversy over the sexualization of characters in MiA to Eromanga sensei, but the guy brings up some really interesting ideas on the relationship that Reg and Riko has. Another cool thing I'd kinda want to think about is how Faputa would react to Riko if they were to meet in person. I had a few ideas I think could be interesting but I'm only gonna talk about this one bc I'm typing this on my phone haha. Essentially in Reg and Faputas encounter she uses the phrase "Faputa's reg." Almost as if it is an ownership thing. What if faputa comes to believe that Riko "stole" reg from her. Would she be balanced and turned into value? Idk but I thought that would be a cool like "o shiz" moment. But if the other idea that the balancing will no longer work because veko isn't in the prison anymore then Riko wouldn't be balanced which could cause anarchy in the village. Personally I think this village arc is just the first part of layer 6.

In a world where being a furry is the ultimate power obtained by staying in a dark hole in the ground

Reg might be the name of something from delver history given how absolutely obsessed Riko is with it.

My money is on a Giant Planet size Monster.

This is just my theory. the dead that has been put in that white box, has a drive to go deeper in the abyss. If that will ends Riko will also end.

"Perhaps Reg and Faputa made a promise to each other long before about being together" Bullseye mate, you got it 100%

i know the last manga wasn’t out at this point, but here’s a theory i have about it anyway: i think that faputa is reg’s mother. we know that the first cladle of greed (is that the name? not shure, i read the manga in french) was used to transforme the girl into ilbru (no idea what the english name is, but you know what i mean), the second was used to give birth to faputa, and faputa held a third and last egg. i think that this last cladle of greed was used to give birth to reg. here’s my reasoning: this egg will realize the dream of faputa, a creature who, i believe, was still very young at this point and didn’t know a lot about life. faputa knows that here mother used to be human, and despite having never truly met her, she loves her a lot. faputa is also attached to an intervention module (hope this name is the same in english, but i don’t see why it wouldn’t be). so if we mix this being’s interpretation of the two creatures she loves the most: a human (not anymore but still) and a robot, we would get something like reg, the only being in made in abyss that is bolth human and intervention module. this would also explain faputa’s relation with reg, and allow reg to still be in love (let’s be honest) with riko even if he regain’s his memories.

In regards to the other white whistles, I absolutely can't wait see them in future manga, however they turn out, though I really hope they'll be major characters who stick around for a while. And, in terms of Wakuna, one thing that sticks in my head when I think about his whistle is that maybe it's a reference to the story of Jonah and the Whale? Since people seem to think he's a monk-like figure of some kind, it could fit with him being contemplative. Or, since a lot of people are tying the show to Dante's Inferno, the other thing I thought of is maybe it's a reference to the Leviathan, being a sea monster, and, with the Leviathan being the holder of the Gate of Hell in the poem, maybe that relates to Wakuna in his title as Lord of Guidance. But those are just my guesses.

Does nobody realize that Faputa knew Reg's name before he met Riko who gave him the name as well as what seems to be that Reg knew Riko before he met her, there is a part in the manga where Reg is talking to Faputa and he says his goal is to find his "haku" who is Riko. There is a theory that the white "Ring" at the bottom is a wormhole, I have a feeling that there is some timey wimey space stuff going on. Which would relate to the 2000 year cycle.

Following the plot in the future - Riko shall be the strongest Sovereign, thanks for her adventure squad (and other Sovereigns spoiled ahead). 👁️ Let's have a hope, AND she'll break the chain of limits and return to the main beginning of her adventure.

I think Wakuna is a Sailor with a boat that can fly, go on land and on water and he uses it to guide people trough the abyss. He most likely has had a companion of his that liked sailing and because of that Wakuna started using water related relics, clothes and etc. I say all of this because when the narehate of the narehate village was changing riko's whisle appearance and more he said by Mugi's( I think it was her name) translation that he changed it suiting Prushka and her wishes(making it easier for prushka to "speak" and also increasing the whisles relic afinity), Riko also said that Prushka liked it. Probably the same thing with Doni("your worth" for Lyza's whisle) since the whisle has flowers, maybe just as Lyza likes flowers Doni like them too. Same with Srajo, Wakuna and maybe with Ozen and Bondrewd. Even though I don't understand why Riko's whisle took that form🤔. Is the the whisle taking his user's desires or its "your worth" wishes or is it the person that changes it that chooses its form? Remember this coment if it comes out that this is true😁

well take in mind reg has characteristics of lyza such as saying irredeemable and in his rare flash backs seems familiar with her. now with time dilation we now relative to the surface time can move slower in the abyss but it doesn't mean that there might be zones where it moves faster. or even backwards we just don't know for sure yet. I personally think reg has lyza inside his noggin and that lyza and or reg had been taking care of faputa perhaps in place of riko. we have seen one artifact capable of mind uploads for sure with Bondrewd. it would explain why reg saved riko in the first place it would allow lyza to come back to the surface avoiding the curse and the fact regs appearance happened right when lyza whistle and notes came back to the surface is suspicious. The ending credits show how unlikely it is for a balloon message to travel from the 4th layer and lyza somehow even deeper got one all the way up with her white whistle attached an object unique and of great sentimental value. makes more sense to hand deliver. it would also explain regs battle damage because we know for sure someone like reg has hands with three claws and reg has shown to be impervious to practically everything but the most extreme but he has that chunk taken out of his helmet. If lyza hijacked reg to go back to the surface I'm sure regs kind probably didn't like that. As for faputa it could be during returning to the surface lyza/reg met her and maybe being reminded of riko took care of her for a while and faputa grew obviously attached. As for the name it could be riko and lyza share the same naming sense and for whatever reason named themselves reg while in the robot body. or lyza earlier made friends with the original personality in the body and gave it the name reg. As the big guy shown in the latest layer names probably are not common for their kind. Anyways Lyza is on a mission to get riko at the surface and makes a promise to faputa to return. only to forget from running out of energy and then being shocked into rebooting. and because of the possible variations of time dilation it could have been a short time to very long. cause during bondrews fight reg does say it feels like he's got people inside of him. I think it's lyza, regs orginal personality, and current reg. I just associated the name problem as parent and child have the same sense in naming things. I think faputa is pretty much what she appears to be. A hollow child that's gotten in a twisted situation with the village.

Im really really curious about wakuna character. He have that captain look with that hat of his and the fact that he has a dolphin figured as his white whistles makes it even more fitting for his character.

I think it might just be the other way round: Riko is the reincarnation of Faputa. Reg has always been Reg, states Faputa, and when Riko was revived by the Curse-warding-kage, she abviously got at least some connection to the abyss itself. I think, when this happened, she became an incarnation of Faputa, for they were both born inside the abyss, and because Faputa already knew Reg at that point, Riko already had a connection to the Name, So she went on naming her Dog that way and afterwards naming Reg that way, because somehow she knew that it was his real name.

To think we have been on this ark for more than 2 years, woah

In my theory in the bottom of abyss ther is a city full of regs sent from other planet in order to terraforming eart to their planet condition. The abyss is made in order to harvest soul for terraforming machine batteries.

When Mickell talk and sounds smart like that for the first time.

another cool theory whould be from where reg comes

big fan of the commentary and the visuals. you did really well editing this and making it interesting but funny as well

New chapter 63.2 gives us our first look at Srajo

The curse repelling box with which which Riko was transported to the surface doesn't repell the curse of the abyss as the name suggests. The living thing inside still gets criplled by the curse of the layers, but then revived once it's opened again. Maybe Faputa was a side effect

I’m sorry but I really dislike Faputa, I know she can be good sometimes but only around reg and that big robot, but damn killing all those hallows and just being cruel af and how she’s like “oo reg belongs to me we’re gonna have a bunch of kids” I mean like COME ON.

This was 2 years ago and we r still in the same arc

can you revisit this video with all the new stuff we know!?

well the whole theory about "Riko and Fafuta" is kinda dont make sense as when reg first meet Fafuta ,he introduced himself as name "Reg" which most probably was given to him by "Lyza" maybe but when Reg was with Riko in Orth Riko was the one who named him as "Reg".

SPOILER FOR THOSE WHO HAVENT READ THE MANGA YET!!!!!! Faputa is Irumuuyi's final child. Born to destroy the narehate village. How she knows of Reg is still a mystery for now. Now I'm not 100% if they mentioned it (might have to read it again) but how much time has passed from when the 3 sages changed their bodies up to the current time of the story? It would have to be several decades or even a century or more?

I think maybe that the last 2 white whistles are working together

Cool vid. Really looking forward to more chapters and eventually meeting another white whistle.

I would be interested on by what means, Riko originally came across the name Reg... That was what I thought when I read the chapter, honestly I thought it first when the dog was originally mentioned but wrote it off as some meaningless world building detail.

this is just like game theory! awesome editing!

This is relavent to the current anime episode funnily enough. It's no longer spoilers.

Don’t forget the time dilation

Well we definitely have a better idea now!!!

Starts with voice cracks, that's how you know it's good.

The thumbnail was insane

I gave u 1kth like TAKE it you are too underrated

Didnt lyza go back for that bell? And doesnt it control time or atlesst alter it? What if because the time is skewed in thr 6th snd 7th layers that lyza is currently crazy and keeps trying to study the bell snd idk how but maybe it linked to the bday curse? Msybe she wants me in bed too.

Dude. Faputa has been around LONG before any of the others were born. She came about a few years after the FIRST expedition went into the Abyss. Faputa is literally the final wish of her mother, a child that -wouldn't- die. I don't see how you could even connect the two, their time lines don't match up at all.

Reg's name has an explanation (yes, a dude from the future).

i don't understand the faputa and riko theory. Everyone lumps the two because faputa knows reg's name which is similar to the dog that was named by riko on orth. It's exactly as you say, like faputa shouldn't know his name for the same reason, seems impossible

Wakuna reminds me of the game monster hunter his outfit looks so similar

Srajo = King Boomy Confirmed :)

Faputa can't be the reicarnation of riko becose Faputa was born from one of the Wishes of Irumyuui of having a baby.

I have seen the movie and the first 2 season. Will this theory still spoil stuff for me?

Thank you so much for this! I was truly interested to know more about the story of reg and faputa and how she knew his name even though Rico Gave it to him, please make more! ❤️

The ffxiv job stone 😂

amazing video

Broght back to life *BY A RELIC*

Hey man by any chance do you think u will make another theory vid . Im not requesting simply cuz after that last chapter i find it had so much theorys to offer plus idk why ppl do put more theorys in made in abyss its really fun

so faputa and riko is two person but actually a one person.

What's the name of the song in the background at the beginning of the video?

I give this vid a +rep

I love you Mickell, but I need more information on the characters that you're talking about.

Are you sure that the Wakuna Whistle its a Dolphin and not a Whale? Because it honestly reminds me more of a whale than a dolphin

I would never trust a dolphin sorry but duality of a dolphin is the fact that they are friendly creatures but cruel ones. There is a reason why calling someone a dolphin is the most insulting thing you can say to a person. The friendly but are really cruel on the inside

This will probably sound dumb, but what if Srajo was that story teller guy?

I almost thought I heard a voice crack in the beginning

Hmm, reincarnations... Ok, you sure like death and life but haven't you tought about the doppelgänger possibility ?

0:01 puberty eh

This was before vol 8 Right?

7:00

Wakuna is ocean man

hey guys, what is the name of the song ?

Times is like borken in the abyss Ozen said no? So Faputa can be a Rico of the abyss , you know the weird things souls and the died of Rico the day of his bird 🤔 But I don't want Faputa be a second Rico I want she's a his own personnality, and she could be a antagoniste Or maybe Reg was a Narehate but they made an artificial body and put his conscience in , but that seems too easy maybe 🤔

7:16 .....

Whos that in the Thumbnail?

00:00 XD

Why are you like this?

i can indeed confirm, the theory about faputa is incorrect.

Plz Plz Plz FIX YOUr AcCent DUD 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 (*I REALLY like your work, so I want to understand ALL OF IT MAN👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 SO just PUT SOME EFFORT INTO IT PLZZZ*)
