Riko's Father + Curse-Warding Box
New to the series and caught up in preparation for Vol 15 and had a theory I wanted to share. Tried to look it up if anyone else had talked about it but searching for terms involving Torka I couldn't find anything so figured I'd post it.
- Riko was "Resurrected" using the Curse-Warding Box on Layer 4
- Torka passed away just before Riko's birth on Layer 4
- Srajo explains "Souls" being tied to the Abyss and how they're essentially a "blueprint" of someone and can be turned into a White Whistle.
- Abyss Faith believes "one's soul will return to the bottom of the netherworld, change shapes and depart on a journey to someone who has wished for life."
Could it be possible during the expedition to retrieve the Unheard Bell that Torka's Soul was used to "Resurrect" Riko?
- This could explain her having memories she shouldn't have.
- The obsession with the abyss and her diving prowess since we know Torka was a Black Whistle.
- Love for cooking as Torka was also known as the cook in his group.
- The obsession with finding Lyza.
- It's said Ozen wasn't a fan of Torka and when Riko was "Resurrected" it was stated Ozen wasn't fond of Riko but assisted Lyza out of loyalty to bring Riko out of the Abyss.
- When Riko was taken out of the box she immediately tried to crawl to the Abyss and as stated above it's believed in Abyss Faith that "one's soul will return to the bottom of the netherworld" which could be a hint that Torka's Soul is drawn to the Abyss as it believed Souls are tied to it.
Anyways let me know what you think. Would love to talk with others about this series and what could be coming up in future chapters.
Stay safe Divers.
