Tower of God

Semi-hiatus. "You want to become strong? Then I'll teach you...how to become a god." ToG sideblog (contains spoilers)

[zahardsprince]

Blog will be on hiatus for a month

[tower-of-god-manhwa]

If you notice that I’ve been spamming you all with posts in the last hour, that’s because I’m purging my drafts haha. Apologies. 

Also, I’ll be going to Law school in August - there’s so many things to settle between now and then, so this may very well be the last post on this site. You might not believe this, but my very first posts - those cleanups I made (using mousepad hahahah) actually took on average 6 hours each image to source and edit. So I’m deeply sorry that I didn’t manage to make more of them since even though I promised them - especially since SIU’s art is getting better nowadays. 

Thank you all for following me this far - 593 followers when I’m writing this - from back when this blog was called “sin-ui-tap” because towerofgod was taken and I have no creativity. Thank you to everyone of you who liked and reblogged my posts (they mean a lot to me), who discussed with me, and gave me an enjoyable time as a ToG fan (reading your tags and all haha). 

I can still remember my surprise when I visited 4lternativa’s blog and found Khuns staring at me - it’s one of the posts I made but removed long ago due to lack of notes lol. (you can probably find it in the archive, 4lternativa reblogged almost every post I posted back then haha, I still thank you for that). Thank you zumisumi, zahardsprince, systematic-shark, highrankers, digit01wave, wavecontrol, kadir0, and many of you whom I couldn’t list here but followed me since Sep 2015, and gave me the strength to continue to today. 

I love the ToG tumblr fan base - it is my first home I found as a ToG fan - and I always will.

A Baam because he was just too pretty in that new chapter

[tower-of-god-manhwa]

and So finally some thoughts about this chapter…

ToG S2 Ch 202 Thoughts

The sleeping scene is so adorable.

I’m so glad that Khun asked Baam to share what happened to him in the Rice Pot - instead of avoiding the question like before

What is Chang Blarode and Querto planning? And Khun is fine with them taking away the White Heavenly Mirror?

I wonder if Wangnan deciding to fight Cassano w/o Team Baam’s help is leading to Hwa Ryun’s self-fulfilling prophecy… Doesn’t that increase the likelihood of someone dying on the train… On the other hand, I was kind of glad that Team Tangsooyook (except Yihwa) was sent away tbh… If they went to the Name Hunt Station, they probably wouldn’t get a lot of screen time and would just be a background character.

Yihwa, even in the game, was always separated from the rest of Team Tangsooyook because of her strength - you could often see players using her alongside Team Baam Khun Rak, but you will hardly see Team Tangsooyook around. I felt a little sad that this turned out to be canon as well… I wonder how’s SIU’s progress in game right now, and whether this actually influenced the decision to separate Yihwa. But all in all I was glad of the decision, because indeed the Tower is a place for the talented, and since training with Khun she’s getting out of the league for her team already, and she needs to leave if she is to grow.

The Demon’s revelation of Baam’s true power - to devour the power of others - is an important milestone in the story imo, because it provides a canon definition of Baam’s abilities, instead of some fluffy “he’s talented” or “it’s because of the thorn” or “it’s just part of who he is.” The statement provides closure to Quant’s and Mule Love’s (and my) queries about Baam. Looking forward to more elaboration later in the story. **It’s a bit like when Kaneki suddenly becomes powerful after the Yamori incident, and it’s only explained a gazillion chapters later that it’s due to the RC pathways building up in a half-ghoul’s body. I just find it satisfying to have explanations for things, like the author didn’t forget about this gap in his universe.**

The Demon probably twisted the version of Baam’s power though, like how it tried to convince Baam to trample over others early in the Revolution. Last time he had a great comeback to the Demon’s temptations. But this time it’s a bit like discovering that your favourite pullover is made up of human hair… no wonder he felt upset. But how does this relate to Baam’s decision to let Wangnan go? And his phrase “His safety will be something he is responsible for his strength?” Why is Baam unwilling to help an-obviously-weaker-than-him Team Tangsooyook, and said it’s okay for them to be in danger, just because Baam is unsure of the source of his power? Is he afraid that he will hurt the ones he try to protect? But SIU said that Baam’s power doesn’t require any sacrifices… Is his principle of not using an unidentifiable source more important than his friends’ lives? What made him gave up so suddenly?

And still I don’t fully understand the conversation between the Demon and Baam.… it’ll probably take a lot of analysis like last time, to fully appreciate the nuance of the conversation. “Don’t let me disappear?” “The Justice you seek does not exist within you?” “You trample those that were not chosen by you?”  

Will this affect his fight against Kaiser? Like how he didn’t offer his power to protect Wangnan and his team, will he hesitate to use the “unknown source” of power to fight Kaiser?

You know what, I don’t understand some parts of Season 1. 

Plot Summary

Hadeon played on Rachel’s distress. He then offered a deal to Rachel.

If Rachel does Hadeon a favour, she’ll get to be the heroine of the story. 

Hadeon gave Rachel Arkyung as a teammate. In the first test, Akryung teamed up with Androssi, and then teamed up with Rachel again. 

Hadeon notified Yu Han Sung, who met with Rachel after the first test. Yu Han Sung promised to steal “everything Baam owns” from Baam. 

Hwa Ryun became Rachel’s guide.

Yu Han Sung suggested the Crown Game. Team Androssi (w Rachel) defends Baam, where Baam noticed Rachel. 

Hwa Ryun attacked Rachel, forcing Baam to defend Rachel. Baam lost the Crown Game. 

Rachel revealed herself to Khun, and told Khun not to tell Baam that she is Rachel. Rachel continues to hide her identity. 

Yu Han Sung made Ho target Rachel in the Last Test. Hwa Ryun warned Khun about this in advance. Khun warns Rachel, but Rachel told him not to tell Baam. Khun sends Quant to protect her. 

Rachel “failed the test” and “became a cripple” which forced Baam to take the Guardian’s test. 

During the test, Yu Han Sung met with Ren. He allowed Ren to bring his Bull to the Guardian’s test, to rope in Anak and Green April. 

Yu Han Sung knows Evan is coming. He encourages Yuri’s team to intervene in the test - to take care of Ren and retrieve Black March. 

Ren met Yuri, and told her that he sent his bull to the irregular, Baam, because irregulars can’t be left alive. This would make Baam’s death more believable in the end. 

Rachel apologises to Baam during the test, saying it’s all her fault.

At the last moments of the test, Rachel pushed Baam. She passes the test along with other regulars. 

Rachel fainted when she hears Baam is dead, which allowed the doctor to examine her legs and inform Khun that nothing is wrong. 

Ren and Yuri, from Jahad, believes that Baam is dead. 

FUG acquires Baam successfully, and instilled in Baam the burning desire to meet Rachel (aka climb the tower). 

Rachel obtains “teammates” to help her climb the tower, which makes her the heroine? 

Yu Han Sung revealed that Rachel orchestrated this whole thing.

So I created a straw poll on reddit, just to see what’s the percentage of male:female readers of ToG. 

I didn’t expect it to be so skewed lol, it’s closing in on 9:1 the last time I checked. (btw I’m one of the 2 girls who voted)

Feel free to participate!
