Naver Endnote: Since coronavirus is on the rage, I hope you take care of yourself and stay healthy every week. See you next week! 

Hello, this is SIU. Today is March 1st, so RaKhunBaam gets to draw the Korean National Flag [TN: Context]. Surprisingly, each one of them has their colors in the flag. It's a coincidence, and I'm in shook.... well not quite, but it does remind me of those who protected our nation, especially when our nation is going through hard times. Patriotism is not something that is easy to display in times of crisis. I think it's because of those who did manage the herculean feat that our nation is where it is today.

​This chapter will be summarized briefly. Bam arrives at the battlefield, and we see a familiar face. Mr. Charlie, not sure if you know him (...) Back at the Last Station, people kept calling him by his job title, so people may not remember his name (Well, there weren't exactly any flags set for his return). This guy is actually a quite elite Ranker compared to the Test Ranker. He's like a guy that passes the Civil Service exam in his 20's. It's hard for me to say because I don't know too much about how the Civil Service Exam works and the Tower is much larger than Korea, so a 1 to 1 comparison is not really feasible. There are so many rankers across multiple fields, there's a lot of gaps in the myriad of skills between them.

Anyway, Elite Ranker Charlie vs Bam. Despite being against a Ranker, he fends Charlie off expertly, which surprises the military. It's like seeing a kid genius from a TV show. It's scary to see such unbelievable talent. Hwaryun's great at making Bam's image in that regard.

And while their attention is turned to Bam, Evankhell and Karaka launch a surprise assault on Zahard's Army, with the Cage following them. 

Yama declares the battle started at the battlefield before the chapter ends. 

The ship was renovated a bit, and you'll see why later. These days, since we have a lot of ships, so we're doing a lot of 3D work, and I must thank my 3D designer and helpers who do their best to reflect the initial design. They fill in a lot of my gaps I have and lets me continue the webtoon. Anyway, This battle will make many suffer, in and out of canon haha. Due to the topic, the scale has grown bigger, but the story itself I'll try to keep simple. I think we will mostly keep looking at battles of important characters and the backgrounds.

Each wall will have a different type of battle, but it seems that in the initial phase, we'll have a war of attrition, haha.

​And as for the disease of today... It seems that my illness that wasn't going away, despite the Pharyngitis medication is finally getting more effective, after taking some meds for esophagitis. Not by much, but at least there's a reaction, so there's hope qq. I'm trying my best to not cough too much and taking care of it.

The physical book release proceeds came in last month, so I donated 1 million Korean wons [TN: <10k USD] to the people of Daegu, who are suffering from COV19. Additional funds were donated to other regions as well. Thanks to all of you who bought the books I was able to do something meaningful like this. I bow in thanks _ _ (I'm working on and off on the next book, sorry to keep you all waiting for so long)

Although the times are tough these days, I hope all of you have a happy and healthy week, Stay clean, please keep your masks on. 

I will be back next week with Bam and the dogs of war. Stay healthy and happy. Thank you, see you next week! _ ^ ^

Naver Endnote: Tower of God Mobile Game has been released. Thank you for your interest and support ^^ 

Yuri is drinking some soda in this picture

Nuclear Yuri is…. She is physically strong, which befits her since she is from the Ha family. Her Shinsu tolerance is on the high side as well So you can be assured that her real skill has not appeared yet. She controlled her power for even this fight as well.

In truth, the appearance of a High Ranker is a calamity for any regular. It’s normal for people who manage the Floor to warn regulars if a High Rankers appears. If a High Ranker causes a disturbance, it’s customary for the High Ranker that rules that floor to challenge the intruder. You can think of this scenario like an actual nuclear bomb threat... (You can only fight nukes with nukes.)

Ah, and Pedro's observer that appeared in this chapter, normally, a person of Pedro's ability would not be able to use such a weapon, (he was able to use it because he was the conductor of the train) In reality, it is an excellent weapon and explorer/observer… but the user was a bit….. If someone of Karaka’s ability had used him, even Yuri might have been in trouble

The next chapter will finally be the showdown between Bam and Hoaqin. Both have the potential to be powerful even among High Rankers, so this battle may even affect the future of the tower..?

Anyway, I hope you guys are looking forward to the next chapter! The seasons are changing soon, so make sure you don’t catch a cold! I hope you will have a happy and healthy week ^^ Thank you.

ps. The new tower of god game is out on android. http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.raiz.tog You can play with characters from Tower of God! I hope a lot of people will enjoy this game!

[TN: The game is discontinued, but you can learn about it here.]

Naver Endnote: White, it’s Chuseok soon, so you should eat a lot. I hope everyone have a great Chuseok holiday ^^

ello, this is SIU. Since today we have White, I drew the children that are now one. You know, although I don't know when, but if I end up in an arc where I have to draw a lot of Arie people, I probably would have a very bad time (...) because even drawing White right now is difficult. (The hardest to draw for me are brightly-colored people).

The Elder, according to his plan sent Yama and the others elsewhere and went for the Fang with Doom. In the middle, we have a scene where Karaka takes Bam: Initially, I thought about putting in a panel about the Elder wanting to take Bam with him and regretting not doing so, but I thought it was too awkward to put in. He would have been awkwardly talking too much in front of Khun too. Doom's Fang keeps getting called a fang, but we don't see where his tooth actually came from hehe. We'll hear more on the Fang.

Evankhell, upon arrival, discovers a Spear of the Ancients, which seems to be a weapon used in battle between members of the Ancient Race. Generally, the word "Ancient" is applied to matters that predate Zahard's Entrence. (PS: That is, when used in it's official sense. When applied to describe a person, or a part of an expression, it is not a literal expression of that time period, but just a common adjective for extremely old. For Maschenny, Ha Jinsung is ancient, for example. Actually, most modern Rankers call Rankers that were active concurrently with the 10 Family Heads as Ancient Rankers, but Ancient Times, to be precise is pre-Zahard)

So Evankhell finally uses a Spear of the Ancients. Khun's judo flip was actually a quite challenging feat. Unlike other positions, the Lightbearer position cannot be covered for by physical power or Shinsoo, so those who are unfamiliar with lightbearing, be it Rankers or even High Rankers, have trouble performing the Lightbearer Position well. Even a Regular Lightbearer can be a valuable asset.

As the hot weather pass and the weather cools, I can't believe it's already Chuseok [TN: Korean Thanksgiving] haha. Time really does go faster when you get older. 

As an adult, I find myself feeling "I just need to make it through another year", and also "what would I do if I could go back to when I was a student?" When I was younger, I heard a lot of "If I could go back to your age, I would study", and I used to think similiarly too hehe. I would work harder and play harder, probably...?

And speaking of studying, as a webtoon author, I have many readers who are students, I have to say I feel sorry as a content creator for students who are busy studying. You hear often that even if you study, you make less than a YouTuber, or a celebrity, or a famous author (That's not true, plenty of people study hard to make good money), and while that may sometimes be true, but all of that is only possible because somebody else studies for them. Like the desk I use, or the computer or the tablet that I am using, all were only possible because somebody studied how to make them, and I can only conclude that the reason I am able to work like this is because of somebody else put in the effort for it (of course, studying isn't all there is to it.)

I wasn't actually very good student. I was a weird case where I skipped out on taking the exam for the Visual Arts Education Instructor License in my Visual Arts Education major (To my friends and juniors studying for the exam, you can do it!) but the world has other paths to success outside of study... Like someone once said that being born into a rich family is the best and all this studying for school or for exams is all meaningless, but I say to all the students who are studying hard that as there are many paths besides studying, success based on studies is not boring but something that is valuable and amazing. I too would like to study if I had the time. Of course, that's really hard haha ㅠㅠ

Anyway, too much talk for my meager talent. I am so thankful for all of you who read my afterwords, and with our freshly-awakened ricecake, we'll see the fight with the Elder take off full swing, so please be on the look out for that.

Thank you, and have a happy weak

Thank you! _ _ (Bow)

Naver Endnote: That’s not it, bad manners! Please take care in this hot weather. 

Hello everyone, this is SIU. Since it's summer and hot, I decided to draw something to cool everyone off. Shinsu [TN: literally divine water] and water are two different concepts, but if someone was able to control the waves, or so to speak, he would be an amazing partner for surfers, I would suppose. I have actually never surfed myself haha.

Today we have a fight scene longer than previous chapters. I mean, this is one of Bam's fights, and it is momentous that Bam and a ranker went head-to-head. ​ ​ ​ 

The Elders's Envoy... In the Cage Arc, the Canines are generally drawn with thick lines / bodyframe to emphasise their power. However the envoy, I wanted to contrast him with the Canines by making him look a little sly and sneaky. Actually, this arc, unlike previous arcs, has a constantly changing cast of enemies, so I wanted to make sure that the envoy was visually apparent as an exceptionally annoying villain, ^^;; ​ ​ Sometimes when you go through the story, you have characters that outright scream "bad guy", and this is one of those characters. ​ ​ ​

And on Bam's fight, we see Bam make the Ranker kneel. Even if it’s a Ranker, there's large variety in power level among them, there are advantages and disadvantages to consider, and most importantly the ranker hasn't used any metamorphosis, so you can't say outright that Bam is Ranker-tier, but he can certainly be a threat to them. With the Thorn activated, even a Canine Ranker with Metamorphosis would not be sure of his chances against Bam. Bam’s attacks for sure are reaching new heights. ​ ​

The fight was indeed cut short by Gado, but Bam still had a few cards up his sleeves, so the match probably would have ended the same way. ​ ​

Anyway, we see at the end Gado and his threatening perms ^^; Please look forward to how Bam will overcome this threat hehe. Bam, now newly in trouble will be coming back next week. ​ 

Thank you, see you next week!! ​

​ ​ps.

When I look back, for the first few years of publishing this series, I couldn't afford to turn on the air conditioner (the computer and the tablet make a deceptively high amount of heat), but I've now reached a point where I don't need to worry about the electric bill. Because I started serialising this in the summer, I remember those times every summer. If someone asks me whether I have improved in line with my environment, I wouldn't know what to say in response. It is thanks to all of you guys who supported me so generously that I can work in this improved environment.

Thank you. Please enjoy your cool and healthy summertime.

I wonder where the administrators rank in power. Up until this chapter I thought Urek was #1 in the whole tower. Because before I read the series I read a few of the higher ranked rankers names. And I thought I saw Urek as #1. The only names I remember now are Urek and Jahad.

I didn’t read anything else. All that I know from that is that Urek is #4 and Jahad is not #1 surprisingly.
