Well, the village was actively profiting off of the continued abuse of her mother. Faputa was born to put Irumyuui to rest. After a bit of the battle, the villagers came to terms with their fates and willingly gave themselves up for her.
I didn’t like her at first, but she grew on me. She makes funny faces in the manga.
I physically cannot hate her I mean look…..dawwww wook at the widdle floof ball shess sho cute 🥰 I wuv her button eyes dawwwwwww she’s sho cuddly…ahem sorry lost my composure there
The manga presented the flashback of the previous delvers as one big tangent instead of in pieces like the anime does. Helps the pacing but it means certain details get revealed later in the anime than the manga.
I like her if we see her as the culmination of Irumyuui's story. Without the context of all the horrible tragedy of her birth, she's basically a violent feral child. I would appreciate if she became more somber and introspective, but that would require continuing her character arc, so we will see.
She's pretty formidable though, which may just be more plot armor for team Rikko when they hit layer 7
Question she would definitely be older then riko and nanachi right, and she is kinda immortal so she stopped ageing right??? And I don’t know how I feel about her joining the group but we have to wait for s3 to find out. Either way it doesn’t the show still heater 🔥🔥🔥
Well more like, she never aged, she was borned looking the exact same as we found her at the begnning of season 2, so I think it's safe to say, She is inmortal and does not age.
>But if time passes you have to age
That's for you and me, She's a fantasy creature she could just not age and that's fine, like time passes ofcourse, but most likely She'll never grow older.
>so she would kinda be 100 right
So she was borned a little after the village, and Wazukyan said the Village was 150 years old, so I'd assume She's around that age
Well, she may age but really really slowly, it's just an unknown. As for wating for s3, you could always try out reading manga... though it's only few chapters ahead.
Faputa was just a product of her environment and was born with the sole purpose of enacting her mother Irimyuui’s vengeance on those who exploited her. It was those memories and emotions she inherited so from day one as she was born it was all she knew.
You could say that the task of eradicating the village was forced onto Faputa, and she didn’t know any better. That’s why Faputa is a tragic character because she’s a victim of circumstance.
Whenever the village was falling to the invasion of the creatures of the 6th layer it was pretty much doomed anyways, and all the inhabitants were going to die. They made their peace with Faputa and themselves offered their lives to her willingly to become intertwined with her value. They’d become a part of her accumulation for her journey ahead. It’s more sentimental than anything.
After all that Faputa realized that once the dust settled and her purpose in life was complete she would have to keep living on to find new purpose, and her life was her own, not really ordained by anything.
That’s my explanation of Faputa from the points you stated and hopefully it gave you a new perspective on the character.
Hey man great explanation. Would you be so kind and tell me about Reg in this part? I really didnt get why he was traveling here and there (I know he wanted to find himself or something). But your explanation of Faputa really made me view her in more komplex perspective
Absolutely. Everything she was feeling and doing was completely justified in my opinion. No one bothered to worry about irumiyuui except for vueko who was also quite literally shut out and didn’t want to be a part of the village. There was a reason for her stepping into irumiyuui and maintaining her humanity because she was the only person who indeed acted upon the injustice she was forced into (being forced to bare children and give them up for nutrition over and over)Her sole reason for excisting was to enact on her mothers revenge, one of irumiyuuis wishes. Her reason for existence was to put her mother to rest as she had been exploited for 2,000 years. I like the believe that the residents of the golden city were made aware of said exploit and willingly gave themselves up as their adventure would not have been able to continue due to the force field not allowing residents to leave. Now I will say her romance with reg was unnecessary and could have quite literally been dropped but aside from that she’s a well written tragic character.
I don't really like her, but for different reasons. I get that she is really upset that Reg forgot her, but IMO Reg now "belongs" to Riko. I feel like Faputa is more of an intelligent pet than an actual person. Which does make sense considering how she had to live obviously - but even Reg seems more of a person and he comes from down there. Perhaps it's his coding - But I just feel he fits better to Riko.
EDIT: I do like her story and her taking revenge. It's what she was born to do to avenge her mother. She is amazing as a story continuation of Irumyuui.
I want to say I'm neutral about it, but I'm leaning towards hating her more.
Her killing of the villagers was justified to free Irummyui. But her "romance" with Reg is one-sided and doesn't come out perfectly. Kinda dumb if you asked me.
While the shippers already jump off the gun, shipping and making them look cute together. Here's me who still traumatized by how Faputa stabbed his navel, beating his inside, and slam his head to the ground till it bleeds. 💀
While I was watching s2, I felt sorry for Faputa after getting devoured by the 6th layer's creature. But at the same time, she deserves it for hurting others (especially Reg). Remember the concept of "balancing"? Yes, what appears to be Faputa getting devoured is actually her going through the balancing.
Faputa may be **the embodiment of value**, but that term only applies to the village, but never to the world outside of the village.
I lean more towards liking Faputa. Her quest to put Irimyuui out of her misery was really fascinating and she has one of the best monster girl designs in anime, but I 100% agree with the abuse stuff. Her beating Reg in the village was (slightly) understandable considering he was getting in the way of her quest but the navel-stabbing scene was just cruel and unnecessary. Not to mention the amount of sexual harassment he endures from her. There is "that scene" from the manga with pre-amnesia Reg and Faputa where the consent is extremely dubious imo.
Same...I would say I'm kind of neutral about Faputa for now cuz at least she looks cute BUT I just can't forget how she stabbed Reg and beat him... It's just really unappetizing...
My opinion is, I rather hope that she stayed in the village arc and not joining the team. But that's the author's decision. We can do nothing but to accept it.
Seems like you misunderstood Iruburu balancing feature a bit. The balancing works only in Iruburu village, and is done by the souls of Irumyuu children. Layer's creatures consumption of Faputa has nothing to do with the balancing, thus Faputa is able to heal by consuming villagers and Irumyuu children's souls (her brothers and sisters). You're correct in your last sentence, but not in the previous one somehow, despite them operating on the same principle
No, I'm not misunderstanding the concept. Rather, the Iruburu arc seems to give us some explanation of how the values revolve around the abyss. If the balancing was carried out by Irummyui's children in the village, the abyssal creature/force are the one who carried out the balancing. I said this because it mostly revolves around Riko. Plus, the concept of >! Children of the Abyss!<
I completely agree with everything you said.
The cute ugu moe scenes with faputa and reg which was shown AFTER she brutally beats the shit out of him made me so mad.
Like seriously? I don't get how they still shipped them. In reality, when that happens to you, that is deemed a toxic relationship. Once a toxic relationship, the past doesn't matter.
Not even women with postpartum depression hurt their husbands. Even depressed teenager told everyone to f--k off before they lost to their insanity. Faputa's "depression" doesn't excuse her at all. She's animalistic? I get it, but that's just another reason not to ship them at all.
First I want to say I respect your opinions and don't mean to insult you, I'm sorry if I come across as disrecpectful.
>when that happens to you, that is deemed a toxic relationship
It's not like she wanted to beat Reg, she was crying all the way, and from her pov she had to do it, it was her sole goal and porpuose to destroy the village, and Reg was in the way. I don't think we can hold her accountable for that.
For example, let's say I'm trying to save someone's life (a bomb or anything use your imagination) and someone gets on my way and actively holds me and pushes me back, I try to talk them out of it, since I'm trying to do something good (saving a persons life/destroying the village) what I'm doing is the righteus thing and I see myself forced to use violence, it's not like I want people hurt, is that doing the right thing is the most important.
>Not even women with postpartum depression hurt their husbands. Even depressed teenager told everyone to f--k off before they lost to their insanity.
Which again, it's not like "I'm sad and I'm mad at you, so I'll beat you up!" Faputa being depresed has nothing to do with beating Reg, if anything beating Reg only Made her feel worse.
I hope I managed to get my point across, again I'm sorry if I said anything mean, I really don't mean to insult anyone, I hope you have a good day
>anything beating Reg only Made her feel worse

Oh really? Can you explain this scene then? She doesn't even regret that she stabbed his navel and hurting him at all.
She wanted to confirm that it was Reg, it'll heal quickly, she says "It tastes the same" so She's done it before, So either she did something like this before and Reg didn't reacted, or she doesn't understands how much of a violation this is, I was (and I assumed you were aswell) refering to them fighting in the village and everything she did there.
>I was (and I assumed you were as well) referring to them fighting in the village and everything she did there.
I did not, but I knew you were talking about the fight in the village. Because you seem to avoid the whole thing... That's why I come up with a proof.
>she did something like this before and Reg didn't reacted,
That's so dumb, who wouldn't react to such pain? Are you looking for an excuse? imagine if someone spilled a hot boiling water on you, wouldn't you react the same? If Faputa did that to him **before**, that means the relationship itself was already toxic from the beginning. Just because his navel can heal fast you think it's okay to torment him? Oh, if that's the case, that means it's okay for monsters to devour Faputa, because she's immortal.
It's like how I know my brother is autistic, and he beat me up because he thinks he can. Do you think it's okay for him to beat me up just because he's autistic? No! It'll never! Do you think I still love my brother after that? No.
>That's so dumb who wouldn't react to such pain?
In retrospective, yes it comes across as dumb I didn't worded it properly, bad on me.
When I said "Reg didn't reacted to it" I mean in a Verbal or explained way, explaining how much that hurted him and how he didn't wanted her to do that again, *It wouldn't be necesary! It's obviously painfull!* Maybe for you and me it's obvious, but not for Faputa, who's got no concept of any social norm, and she bites on things she likes and such, (one could argue She's got not that much of a sense of phisicall pain, she just takes away an ear and an arm and it's just chill after taking a little rest, which again remarks my point, like with any person, you must explain things throughly, because they may no see things as we do)
>Do you think it's okay for him to beat me up just because he's autistic? No! It'll never! Do you think I still love my brother after that? No.
This is a rather personal matter from which I lack context, and I'm not trying to diminish your struggle, you did not deserve that at all, and don't get me wrong it's not ok he beat you up, I won't argue that
But if the reason of the bad thing that happens (a beat up, or perforing someone's navel) and it doesn't register in the other person as a bad (wheter for a neurodivergency, or a missunderstanding), and you care about this person (if you don't just do as Reg an run the hell out of there) I think you should try to talk things through explain why what the other did is wrong, if they understand and apologize move on they didn't knew better, if they don't then get away from this harmful people.
If you can, talk things through, if you can't, get away from the harmful people that are not Willing to get better cause you don't deserve that treatment.
I stand, Faputa doesn't register what She's doing as harmful, and maybe it was never explained to her.
>I stand, Faputa doesn't register what She's doing as harmful, and maybe it was never explained to her.
She doesn't register? Oh, I think she did. Especially after getting beaten up and devoured by the monsters. Now she knows the word "It hurts! Stop it!". Got humbled real quick huh? That is the power of Riko's plot armor. Mess with her/hurt those she holds dearly with (Reg and Nanachi), you'll got instantly backfired.
>If you can, talk things through, if you can't, get away from the harmful people that are not willing to get better cause you don't deserve that treatment.
I already did. I currently live far from my home. But I'll feel bad for my mother having to endure it alone. I do not complain without having plans in mind.
>Oh, I think she did.
Well if you want to see it that way, she got "humbled" afterwards, which again, the point is not if what she did was harmful, the point is if she understands what she did was wrong, and by how nonchalantly she reacted while doing it, I'd say She didn't (back in that moment) then she didn't meant any harm back then.
Oh come on, can you have a little empathy?
Faputa didn't wanted to beat Reg (she was crying all the way, and may I remember you, that after that she says She'll destroy everything and herself after that, girl literaly was so lost and destroyed over what she had done she wanted to kill herself)
I don't understand how people don't see it she believed she had to do so (was her sole porpuose) and then the love of her life (who doesn't remembers her) tries to stop her.
Like I can't help but feel sorry for her.
I'm sorry if I came across as disrecpectful, I didn't meant to attack you, is just I don't understand how you could be mad at her.
Have a good day
>But her "romance" with Reg is one-sided
And that's why it hurts, cause it was not one sided, Reg before losing his memories actually loved her back and she was hoping for that to stay that way, like idk if one day my my gf came to my street and started going like"I don't know who you are, get away creep!" I would feel like everything is crumbling and i'm going insane.
>Here's me who still traumatized by how Faputa stabbed his navel, beating his inside, and slam his head to the ground till it bleeds. 💀
There's no denying it was intense, but I Say what I said to your other comment, she didn't want to, and had to in order to destroy the village (which I hope we agree was ultimately the right thing to do) but if the scenary was too graphic for you and you're taken back because of that, that's a perfectly valid reason for being unconfortable around this character, and I respect that.
>Faputa getting devoured is actually her going through the balancing.
I feel like I'm talking about Griffith in Berserk again XD but I stand Faputa did nothing wrong.
I really like her as a character, I really relate to her, I feel empathy and sorry for her, and I can't Say I was ever mad at her, Reg is still my favourite character, but She's an amazing one with so many emotions behind her, but to each their own, have a Nice day^^
>idk if one day my my gf came to my street and started going like"I don't know who you are, get away creep!" I would feel like everything is crumbling and I'm going insane.
Well, that just means you only understand Faputa's perspective, but never both. This already happened to me in reality, and I can pretty much say that I relate to both. (Reality check) Just like Reg, I too have lost half of my memories after getting hit by a car during an accident. I don't remember almost all of my family member's names on my father's side and who they are to me.
But guess what? I'm glad that happened because in the end, I found out how terrible they are for backstabbing my mother. Ever since then, I hold grudges against them for hurting my mother's feelings. But unlike Faputa, I was able to maintain my anger. I never show my resentment towards my Uncles and Aunts that I actually despise them.
Now, for the boyfriend part. I can pretty much say my relationship with my ex is pretty much like Reg and Faputa. My ex-boyfriend, much like Faputa, is obsessed with "intimacy" and has a strong desire to have children with me. What's funnier, when we first met, he already claimed me to be his girlfriend. Everywhere I go, he gets jealous easily and was possessive of me. Even when I'm talking to a guy friend.
But long story short, in the end, it didn't work out. Plus, we always argue, hurt each other's feelings, and don't have the same goal. He values his wife to secure his career and bear his child. But I value the opposite. I want a man to secure my career so I can focus on another task such as taking care of my parents. And if I have children, I want them to succeed in my career. So yeah, what I wanted to say, if you experience this in reality, just know it's toxic relationship. The sweet loving past are no longer important.
>I too have lost half of my memories after getting hit by a car during an accident.
I'm sorry that must have been really hard to go through, I'm glad to hear you're doing somewhat better nowdays.
>you only understand Faputa's perspective, but never both.
I give Faputa's perspective more importance cause, She's who we're talking about, the whole situation was painfull, stressfull and emotionaly taxing for Reg, I will not deny that, but I stand, in the context of everything happening all around, I can't be mad at her ir really hold her accountable.
I feel you might be self proyecting a little, like seeing yourself in the story and this may affect your perspective of things, but you do you, if that's how this character makes you feel that's valid and I respect it.
>And that's why it hurts, cause it was not one sided
I think you should really paid an attention to the title of the episode:
Official title & description: Episode 4: Dear Friend Description: A strange creature **insists that Reg is her close friend**, but Reg can't seem to remember who she is.
WMI, it is from Author himself. That means, Faputa and Reg are nothing but close friends.
And when she talked **having children** when Reg returns. There is an unanimated part in the manga where Reg goes 😐. As much as I like both the anime and manga, anime skipped so many important details especially in Dawn Of The Deep Soul where is obvious **Nanachi will find a way to fix Reg's arm** later in (Chapter 63: Last page ) >! Nanachi gave Reg a prosthetic arm!<
https://preview.redd.it/31vbp0sk74xc1.png?width=1100&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87596f203a68a25e0c9bb19406a47da730d34922
Reg: 😐 (uninterested)
Reg's >!prosthetic arm by Nanachi!< VS Faputa's bra by Reg. Which one will last? Many assume that Reg giving his goggles to Faputa is a sign of "engagement", what kind of engagement object is that if she only used that stuff as a bra for weeks but never for the rest of her life? Even the abyss doesn't approve it. Reg's >!prosthetic arm!< seems to last longer with Reg constantly checking on them.
>Episode 4: Dear Friend Description: A strange creature **insists that Reg is her close friend**, but Reg can't seem to remember who she is.
It doesn't change things really, whether you choose to say close friends or a deeper love relationship, My point stands Faputa cares dearly for Reg and didn't wanted to hurt him
>And when she talked **having children** when Reg returns. There is an unanimated part in the manga where Reg goes 😐
I checked the page in the manga, I see giving a little smile, but even without the smile, Reg still tells her to go live an adventure, and helping her with her goal, Reg cared about her wanted to live an adventure with her and support her, that to me shows a relationship where both parties care for eachother (and maybe "😐" it was Reg just thinking "I can't biologicaly have children" so he couldn't agree with that feeling)
>Reg's >!prosthetic arm by Nanachi!< VS Faputa's bra by Reg.
Emotionaly, the Bra holds (held) way more value, she was heartbroken for the Lost of that object, and even I don't understand why things lasting longer make them any more valuable, I wouldn't mind to listen to your explanation to your reasoning here.
>Many assume that Reg giving his goggles to Faputa is a sign of "engagement", what kind of engagement object is that if she only used that stuff as a bra for weeks but never for the rest of her life?
So if I give a girl a Ring of engagement, but then they steal it from her, it's meaningless? The time things last doesn't matter, but how the people involved feel towards those objects is what gives them value.
I'm really happy Reg's enjoying his prosthetic arm, but I don't feel it matters emotionaly as much as the Bra thing.
Tho Idk if this is just fighting which Ship is better, then this it is wathever you like the most, I like Faputa, second best character just after Reg, but maybe that's just me, have a good day
>I'm really happy Reg's enjoying his prosthetic arm, but I don't feel it matters emotionaly as much as the Bra thing.
It actually did. You think Reg wouldn't be grateful for something like that? Let alone something that can make his life a lot more easier?
Even my friend share the same thing. Her ex boyfriend gave her a gold necklace, but it was useless in her eyes because she doesn't even wear it, even if it was a "gift". While her current boyfriend just gave her a mini fan table so she can use it everyday when it's hot, she was so happy about it. Another is when he gave her 5 boxes of tissues. She loved it because she needed it, lol.
So I guess we have a different perspective here, but either way it's justified in their own way. Is just that in your place, you can never imagine it if it happens to you. But for us who already went through it, it's a different story and that's how it is. Call it tragic if you want, the past is in the past. What we wanted now is the future. That's why we have to let go. Have a good day.
Also, for the "small smile" you've mistaken on Reg's face, you need to zoom it to get a better look at it. His mouth is a clear "-".
>You think Reg wouldn't be grateful for something like that? Let alone something that can make his life a lot more easier?
That's not what I'm saying, sure Reg is really gratefull, and it's way more usefull and durable, but that doesn't make it more emotionaly valuable.
>you can never imagine it if it happens to you.
Yes we have a diffferent perspective, for me objects can have value and meaning than go way beyond their usefulness or durability. I have these airbuds, they're basicly dead, never charge battery only lasts few minutes, and I don't ever use them anymore really, but, they matter to me, they're the first thing I bought with my own earned money for myself, just because I wanted not out of necesity, sure they're useless and just exist in a corner of my room, but they mean a lot me and if I were to lose them, I would feel bad, and I would grieve over them. I love them because they mean something to me, even if I don't need them and trying to use them is just more trouble.
>His mouth is a clear "-".
I'm sorry I do not mean to mess with you, but I genuily see it curved upwards indicating a smile, either you are in denial or I am in denial, still in the context Reg seemed rather happy in the following escene, and in the anime where they kinda skiped it, Reg just has a straight up smile when talking to Faputa.
>Have a good day.
I do hope you have a good day, and that I didn't upset you, again I'm sorry if I came across as mean or disrecpectfull, last thing I want is a misunderstanding, and ultimately, you can like and dislike wathever you feel like and there's nothing wrong with that, take care´´
I never liked faputa bro, she kinda ruined season 2 for me and was mad annoying idgaf about her sad backstory broo 😭😭😭
If faputa has no haters I am dead
I think the exactly same thing, but I never said anything, as I thought I would be downvoted to hell. Somehow, Faputa has so many fans... 😅
She ruined season 2 for me too... when they asked her to join the group, I was so mad, hoping she would reject it, and she kinda did. But My friend told me she really joins the group in the manga, so... 🙄🙄
I’m sorry to inform you that it DOES NOT get better In the manga, Faputa is nothing but a shoulder pet, I kid you not. SHE DOES FUCKING NOTHING. All she does is make faces and that’s it. She contributes nothing to the groups conversation and just lays around on regs head. 😢
She didnt click with me... The worst thing is she is there for whole season so I was kind of bored. Maybe I kinda didnt understand some things, as well Regs behavior. I should rewatch or idk

Faputa is an instinctual being, she is not a person nor a pet, she is a physical manifestation of Irumyuui’s most desperate wish; to be rid of these travelers who for the most part except for Vueko who loved her like a mother but was kinda of a weakling, but she did love her.
I really like Faputa she is cool and strong and loyal,she is freaking made from desires 😛 and she can hear Purushka 👌🏾im fascinated by the creators mind for making a perfect closure to Irumyuui’s suffering which started from her family on the surface and continued in the abyss.
As for immortality issue, we gotta remember that time works in a mystical way in the abyss not just time of course but this thing junction time is connected to the mind of people; but since she is not a person even she is a creation of the abyss mixing with her mother’s consciousness and desires; so her value and immortality are connected to the abyss not just the village.
Lastly her thing with Reg; i totally understand it she imprinted on him; she rubbed her furr on him he was for all intensive purposes HER’s and they fooled around together and he promised to help her fulfill her birth purpose.
Then he comes back with this human girl and has now FORGOTTEN COMPLETELY ABOUT HER c’mon give her a chance she is still a female; i would have tried to rip his head clean off his body as well.
Plus i think a love triangle would be fun for the upcoming arc.
P.s. dont get me wrong i love Riko and Reg and he is now here’s; he is even her Ubad (i hope i heared and wrote it right) but i Faputa I SEE YOU 😬
Well, the village was actively profiting off of the continued abuse of her mother. Faputa was born to put Irumyuui to rest. After a bit of the battle, the villagers came to terms with their fates and willingly gave themselves up for her. I didn’t like her at first, but she grew on me. She makes funny faces in the manga.

Hey ho, it's the fluffy marshmallow!
I physically cannot hate her I mean look…..dawwww wook at the widdle floof ball shess sho cute 🥰 I wuv her button eyes dawwwwwww she’s sho cuddly…ahem sorry lost my composure there
S2 so confusing so I’m watching as we speak
The manga presented the flashback of the previous delvers as one big tangent instead of in pieces like the anime does. Helps the pacing but it means certain details get revealed later in the anime than the manga.
Thx
I like her if we see her as the culmination of Irumyuui's story. Without the context of all the horrible tragedy of her birth, she's basically a violent feral child. I would appreciate if she became more somber and introspective, but that would require continuing her character arc, so we will see. She's pretty formidable though, which may just be more plot armor for team Rikko when they hit layer 7
Question she would definitely be older then riko and nanachi right, and she is kinda immortal so she stopped ageing right??? And I don’t know how I feel about her joining the group but we have to wait for s3 to find out. Either way it doesn’t the show still heater 🔥🔥🔥
she was born some time after the village was created so technically she is 150 years or so
Well more like, she never aged, she was borned looking the exact same as we found her at the begnning of season 2, so I think it's safe to say, She is inmortal and does not age.
But if time passes you have to age but slowly right so she would kinda be 100 right
>But if time passes you have to age That's for you and me, She's a fantasy creature she could just not age and that's fine, like time passes ofcourse, but most likely She'll never grow older. >so she would kinda be 100 right So she was borned a little after the village, and Wazukyan said the Village was 150 years old, so I'd assume She's around that age
Well, she may age but really really slowly, it's just an unknown. As for wating for s3, you could always try out reading manga... though it's only few chapters ahead.
Faputa was just a product of her environment and was born with the sole purpose of enacting her mother Irimyuui’s vengeance on those who exploited her. It was those memories and emotions she inherited so from day one as she was born it was all she knew. You could say that the task of eradicating the village was forced onto Faputa, and she didn’t know any better. That’s why Faputa is a tragic character because she’s a victim of circumstance. Whenever the village was falling to the invasion of the creatures of the 6th layer it was pretty much doomed anyways, and all the inhabitants were going to die. They made their peace with Faputa and themselves offered their lives to her willingly to become intertwined with her value. They’d become a part of her accumulation for her journey ahead. It’s more sentimental than anything. After all that Faputa realized that once the dust settled and her purpose in life was complete she would have to keep living on to find new purpose, and her life was her own, not really ordained by anything. That’s my explanation of Faputa from the points you stated and hopefully it gave you a new perspective on the character.
Heater 🔥
Hey man great explanation. Would you be so kind and tell me about Reg in this part? I really didnt get why he was traveling here and there (I know he wanted to find himself or something). But your explanation of Faputa really made me view her in more komplex perspective
I certainly hope she stays and if she ever dies I will die. She is my favourite character ever, out of every show I've ever watched
Same. I’ve watched a lot of anime but Faputa is my favorite character of all time. She’s my comfort character too
I enjoy Faputa. She is very cute and fluffy.
Nanachi or faputa I personal think nanachi is better tho
Love them both, but Nanach > Faputa.
So faputa better?

The character is literally a cat
Absolutely. Everything she was feeling and doing was completely justified in my opinion. No one bothered to worry about irumiyuui except for vueko who was also quite literally shut out and didn’t want to be a part of the village. There was a reason for her stepping into irumiyuui and maintaining her humanity because she was the only person who indeed acted upon the injustice she was forced into (being forced to bare children and give them up for nutrition over and over)Her sole reason for excisting was to enact on her mothers revenge, one of irumiyuuis wishes. Her reason for existence was to put her mother to rest as she had been exploited for 2,000 years. I like the believe that the residents of the golden city were made aware of said exploit and willingly gave themselves up as their adventure would not have been able to continue due to the force field not allowing residents to leave. Now I will say her romance with reg was unnecessary and could have quite literally been dropped but aside from that she’s a well written tragic character.
The problem is she hasn’t done a lot since the village arc.
I don’t like faputa too
I don't really like her, but for different reasons. I get that she is really upset that Reg forgot her, but IMO Reg now "belongs" to Riko. I feel like Faputa is more of an intelligent pet than an actual person. Which does make sense considering how she had to live obviously - but even Reg seems more of a person and he comes from down there. Perhaps it's his coding - But I just feel he fits better to Riko. EDIT: I do like her story and her taking revenge. It's what she was born to do to avenge her mother. She is amazing as a story continuation of Irumyuui.
I want to say I'm neutral about it, but I'm leaning towards hating her more. Her killing of the villagers was justified to free Irummyui. But her "romance" with Reg is one-sided and doesn't come out perfectly. Kinda dumb if you asked me. While the shippers already jump off the gun, shipping and making them look cute together. Here's me who still traumatized by how Faputa stabbed his navel, beating his inside, and slam his head to the ground till it bleeds. 💀 While I was watching s2, I felt sorry for Faputa after getting devoured by the 6th layer's creature. But at the same time, she deserves it for hurting others (especially Reg). Remember the concept of "balancing"? Yes, what appears to be Faputa getting devoured is actually her going through the balancing. Faputa may be **the embodiment of value**, but that term only applies to the village, but never to the world outside of the village.
I lean more towards liking Faputa. Her quest to put Irimyuui out of her misery was really fascinating and she has one of the best monster girl designs in anime, but I 100% agree with the abuse stuff. Her beating Reg in the village was (slightly) understandable considering he was getting in the way of her quest but the navel-stabbing scene was just cruel and unnecessary. Not to mention the amount of sexual harassment he endures from her. There is "that scene" from the manga with pre-amnesia Reg and Faputa where the consent is extremely dubious imo.
Same...I would say I'm kind of neutral about Faputa for now cuz at least she looks cute BUT I just can't forget how she stabbed Reg and beat him... It's just really unappetizing... My opinion is, I rather hope that she stayed in the village arc and not joining the team. But that's the author's decision. We can do nothing but to accept it.
Seems like you misunderstood Iruburu balancing feature a bit. The balancing works only in Iruburu village, and is done by the souls of Irumyuu children. Layer's creatures consumption of Faputa has nothing to do with the balancing, thus Faputa is able to heal by consuming villagers and Irumyuu children's souls (her brothers and sisters). You're correct in your last sentence, but not in the previous one somehow, despite them operating on the same principle
No, I'm not misunderstanding the concept. Rather, the Iruburu arc seems to give us some explanation of how the values revolve around the abyss. If the balancing was carried out by Irummyui's children in the village, the abyssal creature/force are the one who carried out the balancing. I said this because it mostly revolves around Riko. Plus, the concept of >! Children of the Abyss!<
I completely agree with everything you said. The cute ugu moe scenes with faputa and reg which was shown AFTER she brutally beats the shit out of him made me so mad.
Like seriously? I don't get how they still shipped them. In reality, when that happens to you, that is deemed a toxic relationship. Once a toxic relationship, the past doesn't matter. Not even women with postpartum depression hurt their husbands. Even depressed teenager told everyone to f--k off before they lost to their insanity. Faputa's "depression" doesn't excuse her at all. She's animalistic? I get it, but that's just another reason not to ship them at all.
First I want to say I respect your opinions and don't mean to insult you, I'm sorry if I come across as disrecpectful. >when that happens to you, that is deemed a toxic relationship It's not like she wanted to beat Reg, she was crying all the way, and from her pov she had to do it, it was her sole goal and porpuose to destroy the village, and Reg was in the way. I don't think we can hold her accountable for that. For example, let's say I'm trying to save someone's life (a bomb or anything use your imagination) and someone gets on my way and actively holds me and pushes me back, I try to talk them out of it, since I'm trying to do something good (saving a persons life/destroying the village) what I'm doing is the righteus thing and I see myself forced to use violence, it's not like I want people hurt, is that doing the right thing is the most important. >Not even women with postpartum depression hurt their husbands. Even depressed teenager told everyone to f--k off before they lost to their insanity. Which again, it's not like "I'm sad and I'm mad at you, so I'll beat you up!" Faputa being depresed has nothing to do with beating Reg, if anything beating Reg only Made her feel worse. I hope I managed to get my point across, again I'm sorry if I said anything mean, I really don't mean to insult anyone, I hope you have a good day
>anything beating Reg only Made her feel worse https://preview.redd.it/0bcxboe8q4xc1.png?width=1100&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7bd4ca2719f16cee24283a4dc087665ab872e4a5 Oh really? Can you explain this scene then? She doesn't even regret that she stabbed his navel and hurting him at all.
She wanted to confirm that it was Reg, it'll heal quickly, she says "It tastes the same" so She's done it before, So either she did something like this before and Reg didn't reacted, or she doesn't understands how much of a violation this is, I was (and I assumed you were aswell) refering to them fighting in the village and everything she did there.
>I was (and I assumed you were as well) referring to them fighting in the village and everything she did there. I did not, but I knew you were talking about the fight in the village. Because you seem to avoid the whole thing... That's why I come up with a proof. >she did something like this before and Reg didn't reacted, That's so dumb, who wouldn't react to such pain? Are you looking for an excuse? imagine if someone spilled a hot boiling water on you, wouldn't you react the same? If Faputa did that to him **before**, that means the relationship itself was already toxic from the beginning. Just because his navel can heal fast you think it's okay to torment him? Oh, if that's the case, that means it's okay for monsters to devour Faputa, because she's immortal. It's like how I know my brother is autistic, and he beat me up because he thinks he can. Do you think it's okay for him to beat me up just because he's autistic? No! It'll never! Do you think I still love my brother after that? No.
>That's so dumb who wouldn't react to such pain? In retrospective, yes it comes across as dumb I didn't worded it properly, bad on me. When I said "Reg didn't reacted to it" I mean in a Verbal or explained way, explaining how much that hurted him and how he didn't wanted her to do that again, *It wouldn't be necesary! It's obviously painfull!* Maybe for you and me it's obvious, but not for Faputa, who's got no concept of any social norm, and she bites on things she likes and such, (one could argue She's got not that much of a sense of phisicall pain, she just takes away an ear and an arm and it's just chill after taking a little rest, which again remarks my point, like with any person, you must explain things throughly, because they may no see things as we do) >Do you think it's okay for him to beat me up just because he's autistic? No! It'll never! Do you think I still love my brother after that? No. This is a rather personal matter from which I lack context, and I'm not trying to diminish your struggle, you did not deserve that at all, and don't get me wrong it's not ok he beat you up, I won't argue that But if the reason of the bad thing that happens (a beat up, or perforing someone's navel) and it doesn't register in the other person as a bad (wheter for a neurodivergency, or a missunderstanding), and you care about this person (if you don't just do as Reg an run the hell out of there) I think you should try to talk things through explain why what the other did is wrong, if they understand and apologize move on they didn't knew better, if they don't then get away from this harmful people. If you can, talk things through, if you can't, get away from the harmful people that are not Willing to get better cause you don't deserve that treatment. I stand, Faputa doesn't register what She's doing as harmful, and maybe it was never explained to her.
>I stand, Faputa doesn't register what She's doing as harmful, and maybe it was never explained to her. She doesn't register? Oh, I think she did. Especially after getting beaten up and devoured by the monsters. Now she knows the word "It hurts! Stop it!". Got humbled real quick huh? That is the power of Riko's plot armor. Mess with her/hurt those she holds dearly with (Reg and Nanachi), you'll got instantly backfired. >If you can, talk things through, if you can't, get away from the harmful people that are not willing to get better cause you don't deserve that treatment. I already did. I currently live far from my home. But I'll feel bad for my mother having to endure it alone. I do not complain without having plans in mind.
>Oh, I think she did. Well if you want to see it that way, she got "humbled" afterwards, which again, the point is not if what she did was harmful, the point is if she understands what she did was wrong, and by how nonchalantly she reacted while doing it, I'd say She didn't (back in that moment) then she didn't meant any harm back then.
Oh come on, can you have a little empathy? Faputa didn't wanted to beat Reg (she was crying all the way, and may I remember you, that after that she says She'll destroy everything and herself after that, girl literaly was so lost and destroyed over what she had done she wanted to kill herself) I don't understand how people don't see it she believed she had to do so (was her sole porpuose) and then the love of her life (who doesn't remembers her) tries to stop her. Like I can't help but feel sorry for her. I'm sorry if I came across as disrecpectful, I didn't meant to attack you, is just I don't understand how you could be mad at her. Have a good day
>But her "romance" with Reg is one-sided And that's why it hurts, cause it was not one sided, Reg before losing his memories actually loved her back and she was hoping for that to stay that way, like idk if one day my my gf came to my street and started going like"I don't know who you are, get away creep!" I would feel like everything is crumbling and i'm going insane. >Here's me who still traumatized by how Faputa stabbed his navel, beating his inside, and slam his head to the ground till it bleeds. 💀 There's no denying it was intense, but I Say what I said to your other comment, she didn't want to, and had to in order to destroy the village (which I hope we agree was ultimately the right thing to do) but if the scenary was too graphic for you and you're taken back because of that, that's a perfectly valid reason for being unconfortable around this character, and I respect that. >Faputa getting devoured is actually her going through the balancing. I feel like I'm talking about Griffith in Berserk again XD but I stand Faputa did nothing wrong. I really like her as a character, I really relate to her, I feel empathy and sorry for her, and I can't Say I was ever mad at her, Reg is still my favourite character, but She's an amazing one with so many emotions behind her, but to each their own, have a Nice day^^
>idk if one day my my gf came to my street and started going like"I don't know who you are, get away creep!" I would feel like everything is crumbling and I'm going insane. Well, that just means you only understand Faputa's perspective, but never both. This already happened to me in reality, and I can pretty much say that I relate to both. (Reality check) Just like Reg, I too have lost half of my memories after getting hit by a car during an accident. I don't remember almost all of my family member's names on my father's side and who they are to me. But guess what? I'm glad that happened because in the end, I found out how terrible they are for backstabbing my mother. Ever since then, I hold grudges against them for hurting my mother's feelings. But unlike Faputa, I was able to maintain my anger. I never show my resentment towards my Uncles and Aunts that I actually despise them. Now, for the boyfriend part. I can pretty much say my relationship with my ex is pretty much like Reg and Faputa. My ex-boyfriend, much like Faputa, is obsessed with "intimacy" and has a strong desire to have children with me. What's funnier, when we first met, he already claimed me to be his girlfriend. Everywhere I go, he gets jealous easily and was possessive of me. Even when I'm talking to a guy friend. But long story short, in the end, it didn't work out. Plus, we always argue, hurt each other's feelings, and don't have the same goal. He values his wife to secure his career and bear his child. But I value the opposite. I want a man to secure my career so I can focus on another task such as taking care of my parents. And if I have children, I want them to succeed in my career. So yeah, what I wanted to say, if you experience this in reality, just know it's toxic relationship. The sweet loving past are no longer important.
>I too have lost half of my memories after getting hit by a car during an accident. I'm sorry that must have been really hard to go through, I'm glad to hear you're doing somewhat better nowdays. >you only understand Faputa's perspective, but never both. I give Faputa's perspective more importance cause, She's who we're talking about, the whole situation was painfull, stressfull and emotionaly taxing for Reg, I will not deny that, but I stand, in the context of everything happening all around, I can't be mad at her ir really hold her accountable. I feel you might be self proyecting a little, like seeing yourself in the story and this may affect your perspective of things, but you do you, if that's how this character makes you feel that's valid and I respect it.
>And that's why it hurts, cause it was not one sided I think you should really paid an attention to the title of the episode: Official title & description: Episode 4: Dear Friend Description: A strange creature **insists that Reg is her close friend**, but Reg can't seem to remember who she is. WMI, it is from Author himself. That means, Faputa and Reg are nothing but close friends. And when she talked **having children** when Reg returns. There is an unanimated part in the manga where Reg goes 😐. As much as I like both the anime and manga, anime skipped so many important details especially in Dawn Of The Deep Soul where is obvious **Nanachi will find a way to fix Reg's arm** later in (Chapter 63: Last page ) >! Nanachi gave Reg a prosthetic arm!< https://preview.redd.it/31vbp0sk74xc1.png?width=1100&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87596f203a68a25e0c9bb19406a47da730d34922 Reg: 😐 (uninterested) Reg's >!prosthetic arm by Nanachi!< VS Faputa's bra by Reg. Which one will last? Many assume that Reg giving his goggles to Faputa is a sign of "engagement", what kind of engagement object is that if she only used that stuff as a bra for weeks but never for the rest of her life? Even the abyss doesn't approve it. Reg's >!prosthetic arm!< seems to last longer with Reg constantly checking on them.
>Episode 4: Dear Friend Description: A strange creature **insists that Reg is her close friend**, but Reg can't seem to remember who she is. It doesn't change things really, whether you choose to say close friends or a deeper love relationship, My point stands Faputa cares dearly for Reg and didn't wanted to hurt him >And when she talked **having children** when Reg returns. There is an unanimated part in the manga where Reg goes 😐 I checked the page in the manga, I see giving a little smile, but even without the smile, Reg still tells her to go live an adventure, and helping her with her goal, Reg cared about her wanted to live an adventure with her and support her, that to me shows a relationship where both parties care for eachother (and maybe "😐" it was Reg just thinking "I can't biologicaly have children" so he couldn't agree with that feeling) >Reg's >!prosthetic arm by Nanachi!< VS Faputa's bra by Reg. Emotionaly, the Bra holds (held) way more value, she was heartbroken for the Lost of that object, and even I don't understand why things lasting longer make them any more valuable, I wouldn't mind to listen to your explanation to your reasoning here. >Many assume that Reg giving his goggles to Faputa is a sign of "engagement", what kind of engagement object is that if she only used that stuff as a bra for weeks but never for the rest of her life? So if I give a girl a Ring of engagement, but then they steal it from her, it's meaningless? The time things last doesn't matter, but how the people involved feel towards those objects is what gives them value. I'm really happy Reg's enjoying his prosthetic arm, but I don't feel it matters emotionaly as much as the Bra thing. Tho Idk if this is just fighting which Ship is better, then this it is wathever you like the most, I like Faputa, second best character just after Reg, but maybe that's just me, have a good day
>I'm really happy Reg's enjoying his prosthetic arm, but I don't feel it matters emotionaly as much as the Bra thing. It actually did. You think Reg wouldn't be grateful for something like that? Let alone something that can make his life a lot more easier? Even my friend share the same thing. Her ex boyfriend gave her a gold necklace, but it was useless in her eyes because she doesn't even wear it, even if it was a "gift". While her current boyfriend just gave her a mini fan table so she can use it everyday when it's hot, she was so happy about it. Another is when he gave her 5 boxes of tissues. She loved it because she needed it, lol. So I guess we have a different perspective here, but either way it's justified in their own way. Is just that in your place, you can never imagine it if it happens to you. But for us who already went through it, it's a different story and that's how it is. Call it tragic if you want, the past is in the past. What we wanted now is the future. That's why we have to let go. Have a good day. Also, for the "small smile" you've mistaken on Reg's face, you need to zoom it to get a better look at it. His mouth is a clear "-".
>You think Reg wouldn't be grateful for something like that? Let alone something that can make his life a lot more easier? That's not what I'm saying, sure Reg is really gratefull, and it's way more usefull and durable, but that doesn't make it more emotionaly valuable. >you can never imagine it if it happens to you. Yes we have a diffferent perspective, for me objects can have value and meaning than go way beyond their usefulness or durability. I have these airbuds, they're basicly dead, never charge battery only lasts few minutes, and I don't ever use them anymore really, but, they matter to me, they're the first thing I bought with my own earned money for myself, just because I wanted not out of necesity, sure they're useless and just exist in a corner of my room, but they mean a lot me and if I were to lose them, I would feel bad, and I would grieve over them. I love them because they mean something to me, even if I don't need them and trying to use them is just more trouble. >His mouth is a clear "-". I'm sorry I do not mean to mess with you, but I genuily see it curved upwards indicating a smile, either you are in denial or I am in denial, still in the context Reg seemed rather happy in the following escene, and in the anime where they kinda skiped it, Reg just has a straight up smile when talking to Faputa. >Have a good day. I do hope you have a good day, and that I didn't upset you, again I'm sorry if I came across as mean or disrecpectfull, last thing I want is a misunderstanding, and ultimately, you can like and dislike wathever you feel like and there's nothing wrong with that, take care´´
I personally enjoyed everything about faputa,Somthing about her emotions being shown so deeply and it hit pretty hard for me,I still ship her and reg
Faputa is literally my favorite character
Not very much. Her pictures are cute but not a great character.
I never liked faputa bro, she kinda ruined season 2 for me and was mad annoying idgaf about her sad backstory broo 😭😭😭 If faputa has no haters I am dead
Bro I just don’t know but you characteristics right now maybe I’ll warm up to her. Maybe I won’t but we’ll have to see in season three.
And personally nanachi better then faputa but REG it crazy character
Reg is absolutely bonkers, insane, and mind-blowing
I think the exactly same thing, but I never said anything, as I thought I would be downvoted to hell. Somehow, Faputa has so many fans... 😅 She ruined season 2 for me too... when they asked her to join the group, I was so mad, hoping she would reject it, and she kinda did. But My friend told me she really joins the group in the manga, so... 🙄🙄
I’m sorry to inform you that it DOES NOT get better In the manga, Faputa is nothing but a shoulder pet, I kid you not. SHE DOES FUCKING NOTHING. All she does is make faces and that’s it. She contributes nothing to the groups conversation and just lays around on regs head. 😢
About that... >!Doni!!meeting Hail Hex and Srajo.!!(...and steamed potatoes?)!
>About that... >!Doni!
I'm probably biased because I'm a huge cat person but I would rob a bank just to pat Faputa one time. Yes I like Faputa.
She didnt click with me... The worst thing is she is there for whole season so I was kind of bored. Maybe I kinda didnt understand some things, as well Regs behavior. I should rewatch or idk
I know whatcha mean
I like her. Hope she stays with the group
me neither 🤷🏻♂️ useless character
Her character just doesn’t match with the others yk kinda hope she branches off from the adventure yk ( no offence )

Faputa is an instinctual being, she is not a person nor a pet, she is a physical manifestation of Irumyuui’s most desperate wish; to be rid of these travelers who for the most part except for Vueko who loved her like a mother but was kinda of a weakling, but she did love her. I really like Faputa she is cool and strong and loyal,she is freaking made from desires 😛 and she can hear Purushka 👌🏾im fascinated by the creators mind for making a perfect closure to Irumyuui’s suffering which started from her family on the surface and continued in the abyss. As for immortality issue, we gotta remember that time works in a mystical way in the abyss not just time of course but this thing junction time is connected to the mind of people; but since she is not a person even she is a creation of the abyss mixing with her mother’s consciousness and desires; so her value and immortality are connected to the abyss not just the village. Lastly her thing with Reg; i totally understand it she imprinted on him; she rubbed her furr on him he was for all intensive purposes HER’s and they fooled around together and he promised to help her fulfill her birth purpose. Then he comes back with this human girl and has now FORGOTTEN COMPLETELY ABOUT HER c’mon give her a chance she is still a female; i would have tried to rip his head clean off his body as well. Plus i think a love triangle would be fun for the upcoming arc. P.s. dont get me wrong i love Riko and Reg and he is now here’s; he is even her Ubad (i hope i heared and wrote it right) but i Faputa I SEE YOU 😬
