While Toki has lunch with the Prime Minister, who is actually his father, he is reminded that he became a Code: Breaker in order to keep his sister Nenene away from his father in order to protect her. At the same time, Toki is seen collapsing in pain in an alley someplace, and the Prime Minister is informed that a total of 43 agents have gone missing in search of Hitomi. Back at the party, the school is attacked by the 43 missing agents, whose dead bodies have been reanimated through the use of Hitomi's power.

Toki is still shown collapsed in the alley, but now in the form of a child. The symptoms vary for each Code: When Hitomi raids Sakura's house in order to kidnap Sakura, the Code: Breakers do their best to fight back against his electrical attacks. Hitomi then unleashes his full power against them, but Sakura jumps in front of his attack and is surprisingly unharmed. It turns out that Hitomi's attack was just a decoy to gather all the Code: Breakers, thus leaving an opening for Yukihina to kidnap the Prime Minister.
Breakers discuss what their next plan of action should be, Toki leaves, uninterested in rescuing his father. Toki goes to Nenene, who seems to remember him, but she suddenly reverts back to her old self, unaware of who Toki is. When Toki returns, Sakura and the other Code: Breakers head out in search of Hitomi and the Prime Minister. At school, Kanda meets with several other faculty members, all of whom work for Eden as Code: Since Kanda is a former subordinate of Hitomi, the plan is for her to use any possible remaining trust to kill Hitomi.
After Rui meets with Heike at a bridge, he attacks her for figuring out that he is a part of Hitomi's scheme. Heike then appears to Sakura and tricks her into following him, leading her directly to Hitomi's hideout with the Prime Minister taken hostage. Heike exchanges her as a gesture of good will in order to join sides with Hitomi. While all the Code: Breakers receive anonymous messages detailing Hitomi's location, Hitomi tells Sakura to sit back and wait for the plan to commence, but Sakura becomes angered when Heike mentions that he reduced Rui to a bloody mess.
Hitomi shows his clock collection on the wall, each stopped at a time when a former Code: Hitomi plans to execute the Prime Minister, but he first bombs the city full of civilians as a spectacle of exposing Code: Breakers, in order to recognize them as great heroes rather than dangerous outcasts. The hideout begins to collapse and everyone leaves. However, Sakura enters the car with Hitomi, Heike and Yukihina inside, hoping to prevent them from killing the Prime Minister. When Hitomi was sixteen years old, he was inaugurated as Code: Breaker 06, and due to his excellence at his job, he was considered a promotion.
Heike was revealed as his senior at that time. Four years later, Hitomi's unnamed partner, Code: Breaker 05 at the time, was killed during an operation, and it is shown that his watch stopped working the moment he died.
Heike promoted Hitomi as the new Code: Breaker 05, but Hitomi was greatly troubled by his partner's death. Six years later, being assigned to take out a terrorist coupe of supernaturals, Hitomi, as Code: Breaker 03, is distraught when the rest of his group except Hitomi died during the mission, and only the leader rogue supernatural managed to escape. Hitomi, explaining to Heike that Code: Breaker 06 at that time was killed by her own powers, requested him to investigate upon the matter.
With Hitomi promoted to Code: Breaker 01, he was tasked to train the recruited Code: Breakers after their individual training sessions. On another job with the other Code: Breakers, Hitomi finally killed the leader rogue supernatural to avenge the deaths of his former comrades. Heike later informed Hitomi that the Code: Breakers could die if they overuse their own powers numerous times, which was something Eden had kept them from knowing.
In the present, Hitomi announces to the public on Sky Tower that he will kill the Prime Minister and 50, other civilians across Japan. Breakers continue to search for Hitomi, but are unsuccessful. As bombs continue to detonate throughout Japan, the Code: Breakers, the Japanese government and the Kizakura all receive anonymous emails detailing the locations of the bombs and Hitomi being found at Sky Tower. As Sakura manages to free herself, Hitomi reveals to them that the Prime Minister attempted to have Hitomi killed in order to prevent him from exposing the Code: Hitomi then states his desire to make a world where people with special abilities can live happy lives freely, not as government dogs.
Toki and Kanda are stopped by Heike, who faces Toki in a fierce duel. The Japan government and the Kizakura begin to isolate locations with bombs, however they are short on personnel. Yukihina proceeds to rescue all children with special abilities in the research facility, only to by met by Rui, revealed to still be alive. Toki stands on the roof of Sky Tower where the Prime Minister is held captive with twenty minutes remaining.
While fighting Yukihina, Rui vows to save the children from the research facility. As the timer reaches to zero, no detonation occurs. Heike confronts Hitomi, believing that the plan has been dismantled. However, Hitomi reveals that he chose Sky Tower as a last resort in order to use his powers to detonate all the bombs throughout Japan. Toki finally rescues his father after threatening to kill him.

July 29, [23]. June 4, [24]. July 27, [25]. While delving into the upper layers of the Abyss to search for relics, Riko and her partner Nat become separated. Riko then sees Nat about to be eaten by a crimson splitjaw and draws the beast's attention in order to save him. However, Riko gets cornered by the splitjaw and is about to be devoured when it is suddenly chased off by a powerful energy blast.
Riko traces the source of the blast back to a robot boy who has fallen unconscious, and she and Nat carry him back their home at the Belchero Orphanage. With the help of her friends, Riko is able to revive the robot boy, who she names Reg. She then takes him outside to show him the town of Orth, which sits on top of the Abyss.
Riko and her friends attempt to figure out exactly what Reg is, but cannot find anything mentioning a robot in the list of recorded relics recovered from the Abyss. Realizing that Reg will be taken away and dissected if he was ever found out, Riko disguises him as a regular orphan and arranges his enrollment in the orphanage.
As a member of the orphanage, Reg will be trained to be an Abyss delver like Riko. Later, The Uncle Habo returns from an expedition to the Abyss, carrying the white whistle of Lyza, Riko's mother, as well as a sealed document. As the town celebrates the return of Lyza's whistle, Jiruo tells Riko about how she was born in the Abyss, and Lyza used a rare relic to return her safely to the surface before disappearing on another expedition.
Riko is then given Lyza's whistle and is allowed to observe the sealed document. In it, Riko finds a drawing of Reg as well as a note from Lyza saying that she is waiting at the bottom of the Abyss, hinting that Lyza is possibly alive. Upon reading the note, Riko decides to descend into the Abyss to find Lyza.
Reg also decides to accompany her since he believes that he will find answers to both his own identity and his lost memories in the Abyss. However, Nat openly opposes their plan, since he knows that if Riko goes to the bottom of the Abyss, the Curse of the Abyss will make her unable to return to the surface ever again. He then points out Lyza is most likely dead since it would be impossible for even a White Whistle to survive in the Abyss for ten years, which angers Riko.
The next night, Riko sneaks out of the orphanage to begin her journey. Reg stays behind temporarily to convince Nat to come say goodbye, but finds he is missing. After seemingly bluffing a suspicious Jiruo, Reg reunites with Riko and they are met by Nat, who regrets the hurtful things he said to Riko and agrees to guide them to a secret entry point into the Abyss. After saying their goodbyes, Riko and Reg descend into the Abyss. Riko and Reg manage to descend deep down into the first layer of the Abyss. Reg then remembers that Jiruo slipped a letter into his backpack and reads it.
The letter contains a copy of vital information about the Abyss, as well as a note from Jiruo warning the two that he will pursue them at dawn. Riko concludes that Jiruo is testing them, and if they can reach the second layer without getting caught, he will stop chasing them. The two continue down to the second layer when they are intercepted by Habo. He tells them that Nat and Shiggy requested that he escort the two of them to the Seeker Camp in the second layer. While grateful, Riko declines Habo's help since she and Reg want to reach the second layer on their own.
Mysteries with swoon-worthy romances
Habo informs them that the guardian of the Seeker Camp is Ozen the Immovable, a White Whistle who helped Lyza transport the infant Riko to the surface. He also warns the two to be wary of Ozen before saying his farewells. Riko and Reg then reach the second layer, the Forest of Temptation. As Riko and Reg proceed through the second layer, they encounter a corpse weeper, a large carnivorous bird that can mimic the cries of help from its prey.
Riko is captured by a corpse weeper and flown to its nest to be fed to its chicks. In desperation, Reg activates an energy cannon within his hand that destroys the corpse weeper and large swathe of the surrounding landscape. Riko is saved, and she is greatly impressed by Reg's energy cannon, which she dubs the "Incinerator", but Reg then passes out from the strain of using the weapon. After Reg wakes up, he and Riko proceed to the Inverted Forest at the bottom of the second layer, where the Seeker Camp is located, chased by monkey-like creatures.
As they approach the Seeker Camp, Reg's extendable arms are seized by its guardian, Ozen the Immovable. Riko and Reg are allowed inside the Seeker Camp, where they finally meet Ozen as well as her apprentice, Marulk. Riko thanks Ozen for helping carrying her out of the Abyss as a child, though Ozen darkly notes with amusement that she had considered many times just leaving Riko behind. Ozen allows Riko and Reg to stay the night at the Seeker Camp, and they quickly befriend Marulk, who wishes that they stay for a while longer so they can cave raid together.
However, Riko reluctantly declines, as she wants to continue her journey to find Lyza. That night, Riko leaves her room to look for the bathroom and encounters a strange creature. Terrified, Riko flees back to her room. The next morning, Ozen tells Riko and Reg that she knows about the creature, and leads them to her chamber to explain it.
Along the way, she tells Riko that Lyza is dead, as she recovered the letter from a grave in the fourth layer. In addition, the note Riko received telling her to go to the bottom of the Abyss was not written by Lyza. Ozen reveals that the Curse Warding Box has the power to temporarily revive the dead and the monster Riko saw was a lump of meat she had placed in there, returning to life before dying again a few hours later.
She also reveals that Riko was dead when Lyza delivered her and she was revived by the powers of the box as well, although she has no idea how much time until the effects will wear off and she will die again. Ozen then starts attacking Reg, who attempts to defeat her, but falls unconscious after attempting, and failing to use Incinerator against her. After he awakens, Ozen reveals that she was testing them to check if they can survive by themselves in the Abyss and decides to train them, just like she once did with Lyza.
She also reveals that the grave she found was in fact empty, implying that Lyza may still be alive. After Reg recovers, Ozen tasks him and Riko to survive in a nearby forest for 10 days without returning as part of their training. She warns them that Reg's Incinerator must only be used as a last resort because after Reg fires it, he will collapse within minutes and remain unconscious for approximately 2 hours, leaving them defenseless.
Ozen then leaves Reg and Riko to fend for themselves. Despite some setbacks, Riko and Reg successfully complete their survival training and return to the camp, where Ozen reveals to them that the note written by Lyza was done in some kind of fabric that is too strong for even her to tear apart, another sign that she must be indeed alive. Before sending them away, Ozen gives Riko the "Everlasting Pickaxe", Lyza's weapon that she salvaged from the Fourth Layer, warning them that it could be used as an alternative to Incinerator, but may have only a few uses left before breaking, and shares with them the secrets of the Abyss accessible only to the White Whistles, while instructing them to avoid the other White Whistles that are currently exploring the Fifth Layer, as they could be a threat to them.
Ozen then reminisces about a promise she made to Lyza to help Riko find her if they ever crossed paths. Riko then bids farewell to Marluk and the other residents of the camp before setting for the Third Layer of the Abyss, the "Great Fault". Riko and Reg begin climbing down the Great Fault, using a network of caves to avoid the flying predators that inhabit the layer.
However, they accidentally stumble into a madokajack nest and Reg is forced to use his Incinerator to kill the madokajack. However, this attracts the attention of the crimson splitjaw that had previously been wounded by the Incinerator, and after narrowly escaping, Reg falls unconscious, leaving Riko to fend for herself. As Riko drags Reg along, she is lured in and swallowed by an amakagame and forced to cut her way out of its stomach.
Riko is then forced to flee a swarm of neritantans and finds herself in a cave with an upward slope. With no other choice, Riko heads up the slope, suffering the effects of the Curse and experiencing various hallucinations. After reaching the top of the cave, Riko realizes how important Reg is to her as both a friend and protector. Reg wakes up just as the crimson splitjaw returns and he is able to fight it and chase it off. Riko and Reg begin their trek further down the Goblet of Giants, but as they press onward, they sense a presence moving along with them as they speak.
Made in Abyss - Wikipedia
They continue descending until they are confronted by an orbed piercer, and Reg prepares to face it until Riko reveals its spines are capable of piercing steel and poisoning their victims, putting Reg's life in danger as well. They attempt to escape, but the monster is able to read their movements and stop them, knocking Lyza's pickaxe out of their grasp and removing any means of defending themselves.
Reg tries to stop the following attack with a scaled umbrella, but the spines pierce through not only the umbrella, but Riko's hand as well, injecting lethal poison in her system, forcing Reg to escape with her by ascending. This unfortunately results in Riko suffering the Fourth Layer's Curse: Coupled with the poison, Riko hallucinates as well, and she urges Reg to sever her arm to prevent the poison from going further. Though hesitant, he complies, but mid-way through the process, Riko stops breathing, and Reg, fearing the worst, falls into despair until a mysterious being tells him to remain calm and perform CPR, getting Riko breathing once more.
They retreat into the hideout of the being, who is revealed to be Nanachi. Nanachi escorts Reg and the badly injured Riko to a hideout and begins to work on patching up Riko. Reg is introduced to Mitty, a creature living with Nanachi who reveals that they are Hollows: Nanachi sends Reg off to fetch ingredients to heal Riko as well as to make Nanachi's dinner.

While he is out, Nanachi seems to recognize Lyza's white whistle. After fetching the ingredients, Reg is sent to clean Riko's blood and urine stained clothes at a riverbank behind Nanachi's hideout, and there a memory resurfaces of him standing by a gravestone with Lyza's Blaze Reap in the ground. While Riko is left alone, Mitty begins to eye her. Back in Orth, Kiyui falls ill on his birthday, following a mysterious trend called the "Birthday Death Disease" which has begun to plague the town. Jiruo takes him to a caravan fleet offshore for medical treatment. When Kiyui's symptoms suddenly disappear, a doctor muses that it may have something to do with the Curse of the Abyss.
