  “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”

  Nanachi's story is pretty Dark Souls-y tonally, actually...

  idk anything about dark souls or made in abyss but is there some particular etymological reason undead creatures in anime keep getting called 'hollows'?

  
  

  i mean i can see how it fits but i only ever seem to see it in Japanese series

  Wee yea erra chs hymmnos mea.
  

  In Dark Souls, it's because hollows have lost their humanity. You literally consume humanity to unhollow.
  

  
  

  In Made in Abyss, it's because hollows have lost their humanity.

  For once, or maybe twice, I was in my prime.

  "Hollow men" perhaps? Do Japanese writers really like Joseph Conrad and T.S. Eliot?

  and in bleach, they are ghosts that have lost their hearts (and therefore their humanity)

  
  

  in one piece "negative hollows" are generated by Perona, who ate the horo horo no mi and became a ghost human; anyone who is touched by them loses all positivity (effectively causing depression)

  
  

  so there's always a reason, i'm more wondering about the overall trend of giving entities this name

  in the comic the weeb bullshit i mentioned earlier is "narehate", and

  fan wiki said:

  The word "narehate" comes from the term "nare no hate" (成れの果て) which means "the shadow of one's former self".

  which isn't actually like "hollow" at all?

  kill living beings
  

  the bleach wiki says the japan-ese for hollow is "虚 (ホロウ), Horō" so that's different

  It's actually 亡者 It's pronounced mouja, and means dead or lost. It's different than undead which is 不死 . 亡 means "nothing," and in Japanese it usually refers to people who have passed away who are pilgrims of the dead. It refers to someone with nothing to hold on to. No purpose, lost.

  Whores! we want "poems that kill."
  Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
  guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
  and take their weapons leaving them dead

  Alt-universe where Kingdom Hearts nobodies are called Hollows
