Since the Mitty clone seems to be a perfect copy let's share some predictions. There are many ways this arc can end, knowing Tsukushi he would probably make Riko lose her body parts and left her disabled, or kill Nanazi, but I doubt that Publisher-san would let this happen. So the most possible outcomes for the next chapters may be: a) Riko uses her 200IQ to somehow bamboozle the sage into selling Nanazi without giving her body parts GOOD END b) Riko decides to trade her body parts for Nanazi, but the exchange doesn't happen, because Veko-san was freed from her prison. The more vile narehate start stealing and murdering other villagers, chaos ensues. Reg comes back to save the trio, obliterating everyone on his way out. BAD END c) Prediction B, but somehow the villagers get turned back into humans, Moth might dies in the process, and Reg has a flashback of spending time with her. Reg starts crying, Mitits and Nanazi reunite and Riko doesn't gives a fuck GOOD END
And what do you think will happen?
Dylan Robinson
I don't think the villagers can turn back into humans, they gave up their bodies for these "containers" that help them experience their desired better. Meaning these are not their original bodies transformed but something the village "gave" them to contain their souls. So I'm gonna go with something of along the lines of prediction B
Austin Ross
The only real good solution is for Riko to lose one her of body parts. It's time for the potato to realize the consequences of her actions. I suggest we started with her womb.
Thomas Gray
Hmm, I thought the village come to be when the humans found "something" maybe autism tier relic and they got somehow cursed, I'm curious how our boy will handle the second mitty, killing her again would be pretty lame
the founders obviously used some sort of relic that interacts with the 6th layer curse. But I got the impression that most of the inhabitans settled there gradually, which would explain why some of them could speak the surface language while others could not. Although Belafu and Wazukyan can also speak the surface language they might have just learnt it so they can interact with everyone.

>Volume 3 ends with Nanachi crying after a great loss of someone they love >Volume 5 ends with Riko crying after a great loss of someone they love >Volume 7 ends with Reg crying after a great loss of someone they love
Faputa is going to sacrifice herself for Reg and his friends and he will remember all of their time together right before the end. She's the embodiment of value. It might overload and crash the balancing, or they might get a miracle out of it. I'm leaning toward a bittersweet miracle. Whatever form that takes, it's going to punch people in the gut as hard as Mitty and Prushka.
Well that still doesn't explain why she didn't change along with the sages since the sages were also people who helped make the village. I mean you could be correct, but we don't know just how they made the village so we can't verify it.
Oliver Reed
Obviously we don't know for certain yet, but the narahate in the village all possess bodies that somehow mirror their desires. So this means that their transformation is a sort of gift or something of an overall positive thing for them. Veko who was a prisoner for doing something during the creation was deprived from the right to have her body changed so she stayed human.
Brandon Lee
Well we know that Veko was against making the village to some degree, also there's some sort of beef she has with Belafu.
Jeremiah Collins
Also that she was "blinded by greed and wanted to be more than human", although that might just mean what her desire to create the village was before she changed her mind and opposed it.
James Moore
Ironic that the one that wanted to be more than human was the only one to remain human.
Brayden Carter
I think that was the original idea of the entire village by the sages. Belafu particullary comes off as a greedy bastard who is just constrained by the balancing. Veko probably changed her mind after she witnessed the ritual with Faputa that might have something to do with the creation. That part is still really vague.
Benjamin Foster
Wasn't Veko directly involved in Faputa's creation or am I just pulling shit out of my ass?
Dylan Price
Well those panels sort of indicate that in the latest chapter, and it also indicate that Faputa was created alongside the village, but yea it's pretty vague as of now.
Sebastian Garcia
Well now we know why she was always angry, they kept her mom hostage
Kevin Reyes
she seemed pissed from the start. truly a child of suffering cursing life itself.
i wonder if faputa and bondrewd have any sort of connection
Noah Baker
Didn't you scream your lungs out when you were born?
Jose Young
Would Faputa even know or care for Veko?
Jason Morales
Not everyone does. like riko for instance
Charles Carter
I doubt it since Bondrewd only set up the Idofront about 10 years ago.
Henry Williams

So after all this her best idea was to steal Riko's reverberating stone, why exactly? At that time she wanted to help them since she stole their hair and the stone at the same time. how is luring them to the village a good thing?
Parker Green
Faputa is desperate user, she's not thinking straight
I'm uncertain if it was Faputa that did that. It very suspiciously ended up exactly where it needed to be. I'm still not convinced there's not another actor at play here.
might be actually, and we are just led to believe that only Faputa visited them during their sleep. One can even speculate that he used the BIRD to snatch the groups letter, but that's a bit far fetched.
Brandon Sullivan
Considering she made the beast charm, she was probably trying to help them by getting the whistle finished
Angel Richardson
And asking them was apparently too much, she's a bit autistic
Oliver Reyes
Well, all of our characters are a different flavor of autism so far so why not continue the trend
Jonathan Jenkins
It's where he is storing his massive dragon dildo.
Henry Howard
/r/ing faputa with the blue "be patient, i have autism" hat
>her husband comes back with 2 girls >makes a monster repellant for them >takes her husband back to his home >he tells her to fuck off and tries to leave >"Reg, they will die, buy you will stay the same, what will you do?" >"Dunno LOL" says her husband as he leaves her for some peasant What a cuck
Well people from the surface obviously don't have names for them, but faputas interference unit said the capital of the unreturned is named the "belltower layer" so they probably have names for the lower layers. Named after something that is there and since we don't know anything about them it's hard to speculate.
So does anyone else want to see Big Daddy in action?
Mason Bailey
Papa's rod action.
Thomas Johnson
Damned early translations ommiting that. Wonder if it's missing a certain bell.
Mason Hughes
I think that's the implication here, but I wonder how did it get up to the fourth layer.
Parker Kelly
no wait that's not what I meant
Brandon Cox
Only 2 suspects. Bondrewd has his lift and Pokekids to safely get it up. Memory is fuzzy: Lyza gave birth on her first try I think then had another go at it and succeeded but did she return?
Dylan Gray
maybe it came up with the bugs?
Gavin Powell
Lyza's mission was to retrieve the bell from the 4th layer. And yes she did retrieve it after Riko's birth, but I was wondering about how did the bell get up to the 4th layer from the 6th that is probably named after it in the old civilization.
