Incinerator is the fifth episode of the Made in Abyss Season 1 anime series.
Synopsis[]
Reg fires his extending arm towards Riko, but is repeatedly blocked by Corpse-Weepers swooping into his path. On the ascent, Riko is hit by the Curse of the 2nd Layer, carried towards a nest of hungry Corpse-weeper chicks. Several Corpse-weepers attack Reg together, and he blacks out briefly. Reg's body suddenly recalls its own power, and he fires a wide beam, obliterating the Corpse-weeper carrying Riko. Reg uses his extending arms to catch her, and the surviving Corpse-Weepers fly away. Riko seems unharmed but is still suffering from the Curse. Reg is disturbed by the realization that if his aim had been off, he would have killed Riko.[1][2]
Riko wakes up to find Reg nearby and herself unclothed. Greatly flustered, Reg explains that he got worried when she didn't wake up right away, so he checked her for possible wounds. Riko thanks him, then notices the nearby destruction. Instead of being disturbed by the idea that he could have killed her, as Reg had feared, Riko is amazed by Reg's beam, which she names "Incinerator". She expresses her faith in him mastering it, one day, which she is eager to help him do.[3]
Reg has a nightmare of Riko being eaten by a Corpse-weeper. Reg is startled awake by Riko shouting. Reg learns that he passed out. Riko suggests that he was low on energy due to firing the Incinerator. Her shouting was because her Delver notebook is now missing, likely lost during the Corpse-weeper attack. Riko is sad, but pledges to make a new one.[4]
Riko whips up a dish from the remains of the Corpse-weepers, Riko Stone Roast. Reg is disturbed to be eating something that once ate people. Riko explains that Belchero Orphanage served meat sourced from animals in the 1st Layer, which likely preyed on Delvers. So, in a way, past Delvers are passing their strength on to the current ones. This comforts Reg, and he finishes his meal.[5]
Riko and Reg reach the Inverted Forest, and Reg gives Riko his cloak, to combat the cold, windy climate. As they approach the Seeker Camp, they are noticed by a camp member seated behind a large telescope. Riko explains the connection between The Force Field of The Abyss and the strategic location of the Seeker Camp, which is in a tree high above ground level. Riko is puzzled by the lack of greeting, as there should always be a lookout on duty who can signal for a gondola to be sent down to allow guests in. Reg thinks the presence of a Red Whistle Delver and a robot may have made the guards uneasy. Reg extends his arms up to reach the camp but is startled by someone grabbing his arms. This person is Ozen, the White Whistle Delver in charge of the camp, who is intrigued by the fact that Riko is still alive.[6]
