Complete Synopsis of the Anime Made in Abyss Unheard Bell Arc, The Struggle for Rare Artifacts

Kapanlagi.com - The Unheard Bell Arc in Made in Abyss encompasses crucial events where Riko and Reg are involved in a dangerous mission to seize a powerful relic called the Unheard Bell, which is capable of stopping time, from the hands of foreign cave raiders in Layer 4 of the Abyss.

This arc begins after Riko and Reg survive an encounter with Ozen in Layer 3 and continue their descent into the deeper depths of the Abyss.

1. Synopsis

They join the Orth Cave Raiders in a massive raid planned by Jiruo, the leader of the Red Whistle.

The main mission is to secure the Unheard Bell, a rare relic found in a difficult location in Layer 4, but conflicts escalate due to the interference of foreign raiders who are also after the artifact.

Riko, determined to prove herself for permission to dive deeper, participates in the raid that morning along with other Red Whistle members. The residents of Orth, including Riko's friends, cheer them on, unaware that this attack will trigger a chain of tragic events.

A fierce battle occurs between the Orth team and the foreign cave raiders, with the Unheard Bell becoming the center of the struggle due to its extraordinary power.

Amidst the chaos, flashbacks reveal Riko's birth in the depths of the Abyss, shortly after her father's death. Her mother, Lyza, used a Curse-Repelling Vessel to ascend back to the surface, despite suffering eye damage from the Abyss's influence.

Riko then discovers her mother's journal at the guild's headquarters, which contains a drawing resembling Reg and warnings about the dangers from Layer 2 downwards, where each layer becomes increasingly deadly and curses prevent a return home.

After Del, Riko, and Reg decided on the descent route from the hidden Wharf: through the relatively safe Layer 1, then the Inverted Forest in Layer 2, heading to Seeker Camp for further supplies.

This path is fraught with risk, with Layer 2 considered suicide for low-level whistlers. The Unheard Bell remains a key element, as its ability to stop time triggers the conflict of this early arc.

The battle in Layer 4 involves the Orth team led by Jiruo against a more organized group of foreign invaders.

3. Desperate Fight

A giant relic shaped like a gray bell with geometric patterns was found in an inaccessible location, forcing both sides to fight desperately. Riko distinguished himself in battle, but this arc also marks the loss of several important characters, deepening the mystery of the Abyss.

This experience strengthens Riko's determination to search for Lyza at the bottom of the Abyss, even though Jiruo had previously rejected his idea. The arc highlights how the Abyss not only tests physical limits but also permanently alters the fates of the divers. The Unheard Bell, as a dangerous relic, becomes a symbol of Orth's ambitions that lead to disaster.
