One thing I will say about TOG. It may look like to some that there are just random arcs but that's not the case. Author already thought out it's end and different arcs which will take place and he thought out all of it in 2010( beginning of TOG) . All of the lore drop are important and will be detailed in future. Every arc give some lore and point which will be significant later on. When you will reach around end of s2 then these all dots will connect to give detailed picture. Author has a blog and there is a blog post for each chapter. There are some additional lore given in those blog lore which are awesome and world building wise great. I will recommend to read those blog post from ch 1 if you want to understand tower and different influence in tower better. But only read blog post for chapters upto which you have caught up. This will take some time but if you read all of those till where you are now then believe me you will appreciate Tog much more and know that author has already set up very detailed and massive plot and not just go about making plot as he TOG goes on. They don't contain spoiler as author himself give them Link is towerofgod.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Chapters In each chapter blog post is given if you scroll down. There are massive spoiler so don't look into anything other than those. In few chapter blog post there are mind blowing info about tower, characters like family heads, Fug which are known among tower residents and much more.

Rachel and Bam's relationship definitely gets frustrating and hard to understand from Bam's perspective, but Rachel was basically his entire world and the structure to everything he knew. The times he had with Rachel were pretty much his only moments in which he was happy and carefree. In addition, she taught him everything that he knew of the world. For Bam, it was like learning everything he knew about the world was a lie. Rachel represented simpler and happier times for Bam, that's why he asked her to return to the cave with him. I hope what I said makes sense. I really love Tower of God and the depth of it's characters. It annoys me when people boil down Bam to just a simp because his character is so much more. Rachel was more of a mother/sister/god to Bam. Thanks for reading my rant lol. Great video by the way! Bam's development with Rachel comes to the most satisfying conclusion, so strap in.

SPOILERS It's basically like killing your own mother for Bam. Bam's moments of self discoveries is one of my favorite parts of this series, it adds so much to his character. Plus, i hate when people say they want Viole it just makes me sad especially after Khun and Rak fought Bam's arch nemesis and we got to know what Bam felt being Viole.
@oliupiter4 жыл бұрын
Rabi Ino Spoilers- Yes yes yes. That's why the Last Station and Hidden Floor are my favorite Arcs in the show. Bam's character arc is pretty much my favorite aspect of the comic and why he's my favorite character. The scene where Bam confronts his arch enemy(Viole) in the hidden floor arc legitimately made me cry. And I don't understand that either. Why would you want Viole when we have S3 Bam, who is objectively the best version of Bam yet. Why would you disregard all his development 😞

I hate Rachel but she is honestly such an amazing antagonist. She isn't smart, she isn't strong, she isn't talented, she isn't even lucky or pretty. But somehow she leaves such an impact and has become such a threat that it's crazy. It's just crazy because most villains usually have *something, anything* . they're strong, they're a genius, they got potential, but not Rachel. Rachel is ordinary to the bone, the most average of the average. Her skills are more suited for a background character and yet there she is, doing whatever it takes to make herself the main character. And I hate it.

Man, I hated reading that part of the story. As someone who was abandoned it's really freaking relatable. Like, what do you say to the person who left you? Should you be mad? Maybe they had a good reason? Everything he thinks is pretty dead on to how most people would think and react after not seeing someone for 7 years who abandoned them. Hell, even now in my personal life, the person who abandoned me has been out of my life for 8 years, and I still wonder these things. For me, his acting out after hearing something painful is completely relatable.

Rachel was literally the only person in Bams life. He didn’t have anyone else. I understand from a outside perspective that it seems weird or being a “simp”. But its just how Bam is, he’s loyal and naive. Rachel was almost like a mom or sister to him. Theres only one of her to him. But it becomes almost obsessive to Bam, like he gets pretty possessive of her. I think it shows a dynamic in his character, that his immaturity can lead to recklessness. Which in turn leads to him being unpredictable and borderline dangerous. And even tho it was a “badass anger powerup moment” the characters were legitimately scared of him. It played on that trope in shonen, and shows that its not always “cool” to get angry and beat shit up. Like real life, being super pissed makes you do dumb shit. By real life i mean it makes Bams character more relatable and realistic (i know the series is not “realistic” but the characters can be). As for the lore thing idk I never had an issue with it. If anything it just requires a bit more paying attention than the average action series. Which isn’t a bad thing. But I can understand if it seems unnecessary, but if anything it just means staying consistent to your world building and lore. I think it shows how much of a good writer the author is. Lastly why would it be elitism to tell you the correct term for the manhwa? Its not technically a manga, even tho its obviously inspired by shonen manga. It just helps show that its a korean comic so that people know. I think theres a chinese version of the word, manhua i believe? And even then we call our graphic novels “comics”. Its pretty late so for anyone reading, forgive me if that was sarcasm on his part. Anyway this was a great video but I just wanted to add my thoughts to some of your thoughts. I hope I didn’t come off as disrespectful. I absolutely love this manhwa and its one of my favorite action series.

Rachel is by far one of the most realistic characters I've ever read. She is so flawed and she acts like a real person (even if a little sociopathic). She is the flawed person who is a closer reflection of how people actually act than the trope like characters we are so used to seeing in every story. She doesn't fit any conventional role outside of the weak manipulator but she still stands out from that with the reasons why she does everything. Now she is still a horrible person by far the worst. But she is probably one of the best written characters in all of media.
@RedRocket40004 жыл бұрын
You got Sociopathic wrong Rachel feels guilt and has empathy while Sociopaths don't and makes her in some ways more evil that any Sociopath as she know what she does it wrong, feels guilty about it before and after and it sort of tears at her but she keeps doing wrong. Sociopaths do evil as they don't fell it's evil. Actually Sociopath has no current definition it has been replaced by Anti Social Personality Disorder and Rachel does not have that or any other mental illness based on what we know about her. Confusion is people using a buzz word like Sociopath for all criminal behavior when it only applies to a subset.

No i don't think i know a lot of people that wouldn't hesitate betraying someone so innocent and pure like bam. She doesn't even try to explain things to him and doesn't care at all if he dies, as if she forgot all the nice times she spent with bam in the cave. She says hurtful things to bam just out of sheer jealousy "why are you still alive?" I mean i get that she's jealous, even i would be if i were her. But she's known bam before anyone so she knew how innocent and nice bam is. Hurting someone like bam would really take a lot for me to do. And btw even miseng had inferiority complex, but she worked hard to become strong enough that bam and her teammates wouldn't have to worry about her anymore. We never see rachel trying, all she does is uses others. And not like she's the master of manipulation or anything, that's not what sets her apart from others. We have seen her fail to convince grand de jah to let her compete to get the thorn fragment (it was bam who convinced him, not rachel). She whines about not being lucky to be born talented or pretty, but the truth is that she's just as lucky as bam. Powerless people like her get killed in the tower, even endorsi was suprised that she made it so far up the tower even when she's so useless. Bam went through hell when training to become as powerful as he is now, but rachel just got all the resources she needs to go up the tower by doing nothing. She didn't do anything to get emilie or the powerful stingray fish she got from gustang. She really is lucky for making it so far but its disgusting that she still continues to curse god and everyone else around her for any problem that she faces. SIU really made one hell of an antagonist to hate. Its not wrong to hate rachel cuz she was meant to be hated.

@@Qwerty-jc3so you made good points but.. - there is nothing revealed about Rachel's backstory or her narrative yet so it's uncertain what made her become so morally fucked up and do decisions like betraying bam. A lot of people misses this but Rachel was shaking when she met bam again , it was also implied that she knew that bam is alive. -Rachel is meant to be an ordinary person and the opposite of bam but she takes all the worst part, she ain't special at all unlike bam who is destined to be a jesus or something. In an other way Rachel struggles because nothing really goes to her way which is pretty deserving and she is very weak, that is surely frustrating when all the people in the tower who you competes with are talented and even beautiful. -Rachel is lucky but it could also because she is a major pawn of someone else. She managed to have those sting ray and emily because she is a pawn, it was stated by gustang. It's not really sure if she is lucky or not, when in the beginning she is just a pawn. -Rachel is realistic because she is human, she is selfish, whiny, guilty, jealous, loaths herself, weak, had a self low esteem, and had an average appearance. She is a representation of a flawed human and the uglier side of a human, that is her theme. -Rachel is intended to be hated but also relatable in the perspective of the reader. There is so much to her character. I hope you can understand my points regarding about her.

SPOLIER The story is supposed to feel like there is no true "end goal", since nobody has ever seen the top of the tower, including the King, since he locked the 134th floor and broke the key in half to prevent anyone from progressing. We know that there's a stupid amount of floors in the tower, possibly infinite, but we don't know where it ends, or what it's like outside the tower. The tower is essentially its own world we've hardly even scratched the surface of, so that feeling of uncertainty for the ending is both intentional and also just really cool in demonstrating just how good the worldbuilding is

I really have to say, I'm glad when I started like 2-3 years ago I could just binge through S1 and S2. Imo ToGs big strength is world building and from mid hell train onward the art. When the art reaches its peak during hell train, it is definetely in my top 10. I also like the way the power scaling is done. ToG doesnt set a limit and increases it when reached by Bam, but instead we always have a really high bar and get introduced to more and more steps inbetween.
@CalmClamFam4 жыл бұрын
Yes I agree with the power scaling. Every time he gets a power up, new move or better at martial arts it still pales in comparison to a Ranker. It’s only until season 3 that he actually has the skill to stand a chance against a Ranker. This tells you a lot about why Rankers (with the exception of Examiners) are forbidden to fight Regulars in the tower. Rankers are basically adults and Regulars are still little kids power-wise. Rankers could easily beat Regulars to a pulp.

I absolutely agree with the comment you made about the artstyle, with it being one of the reasons why someone might drop the series, bUT... TRUST ME, so many things that get brushed over in the anime are fully developed and more enhanced in Season 1, and since you mentioned that you absolutely loved the og character crew from the anime, you will love their interactions even more 100% in Season 1, since for the sake of time a lot of small details that eventually become REALLY important later on are established, such as the importance of bangs, more lore on Urek Mazino, irregulars, and Hansung Yu are explained. Rak, Khun, and Bam's friendship is deeper, and you begin to understand the beginning of Bam's harem (Endorsi's promise of his date), more on Shibisu's genius and how he is apt on becoming a leader, and just little details that make you appreciate the characters more somehow... also, Khun is waaaay more cunning and mischievous compared to the anime version, but this is just a really long thread and food for thought 😅😅😅 I greatly enjoyed the anime and am grateful for it, but there is so much that is discovered only through the original Season 1 👍

I'm usually cynical about opinion videos like these but yours was surprisingly well put together. I appreciate the narration and balanced opinion, sounded like a friend providing their honest impression of it for me instead of being obtusely black and white about the subject matter. I'm someone who has read the entire manhwa from beginning to current a few times over the years and your points are all valid. A few small factual mistakes here and there but that's just being nitpicky lol. Would suggest tagging this as anime spoilers as well. TOG is incredibly plot heavy and a very slow burn, but oh so worth it if you're someone who enjoys world building/lore and live for analyzing all the small details in the greater picture. The amount of foreshadowing in TOG makes a second read absolutely worthwhile and rewarding, it's amazing how well some plot points and world lore were designed and presented as you progress, and how fun it is to catch those points that you may have dismissed or overlooked the first time around. Not to mention all the emotions, my god. Oh and, if you're an anime only that wants to get into the manhwa, READ FROM #1. yeah the art is horribly painful but it improves steadily. Just read. The first season establishes the basic systems - the anime cut most of it out 😞 [[Spoilery S2 discussion in replies]]
@divinecircularflow4 жыл бұрын
As for the hell train simp 2.0 push... Bam mentioned he didn't know what he would do if he ever saw her again. I agree that second push event was absolutely aggravating, but the reasons for his thoughts about Rachel and what he did in response are pretty valid if you put yourself in his position, and analyze it from a psychological standpoint. We the readers have the sense to know Rachel is rotten and always will be, but that's because we all have grown up with people around us who have shaped our views on the world and have had examples presented before us demonstrating the consequences of situations like these. Bam only ever had Rachel to shape his BASIC world view. You can say he is a victim of some degree of emotional/mental abuse brought on by the world view and values she instilled in him, having him "worship" her, even if unintentional (I have a hard time believing it was unintentional considering her severe inferiority complex). His allies aren't really equipped to be psychologists themselves, and it's not like Bam openly ever sought help to figure out his thoughts - like Khun A.A., he has a really bad habit of wanting to carry all the load by himself so that others either don't suffer or he doesn't lose what matters to him. Perhaps he never really knew he could ask for help, considering he never truly stopped to think of himself, instead defining his worth through everyone around him and refusing to increase their suffering by adding his own. It's even worse once you find out about Rachel knowing more about Bam's history than we thought. It's okay, he does get better. Hwaryun, some near death instances, some other spoiler events and the passage of time do give him some much needed slaps in the face to snap out of it. It's a struggle though and one that's played out and resolved pretty well over the course of the story. Keep reading, the end of season 2 is absolute FIRE. Bam gets reborn out of a trial by flames into an amazing beautiful bastard, lol. Not flawless - but HUMAN. Thanks for coming to my TED talk. You're right, this series makes you do and feel things 🤣

So to put it into perspective a bit, every single floor of the tower is considered to be the size of a continent or larger, and then there's an entire planet that the tower is on/in, or something unlike a planet we've never observed before. Not to mention the characters that come from outside the tower are literally godlike, and i'm not even talking about Urek. Phantaminium is a character we haven't even seen yet but in the databooks and blog posts put out by the author it's described as a being that can control a 'story' in the world. And Enryu (no spoilers for who that is) is below phantaminium, and we see what he's capable of in the floor of death, so look forward to that since you're pretty close to it. So that's the power scaling basically, and if you have characters like that in a world that large, literally unfathomably large, you set yourself up for a massive story. So. Yeah.

Well...its not confirmed that the tower in-itself is on a planet. It probably dosen't have a "physcial form" in the outside world, and the gate probably randomly appears for worthy people which connects to the tower. The tower is still the most important part of the story, more important than the "outside world" seeing the initial dialouge by Headon.

For the most part I didn't like that they made Bam look like a weak character. Yes, in season 1 of the Webtoon he was a weak character compared to others but at least they showed that he had more potential than everyone around him. For example, in the webtoon Ren was trying to teach bam to control more than one bang and bam managed to make 2 but it quickly went away and he said it was hard to do. But then Ren told him that when he was learning to control bangs people called him a genius for being able to control a bang after a couple of years of learning of them. Then he points out that Bam managed to do the same within just a few weeks and as such be should be called a "super genius" or "the king of geniuses". Or the part where Hoh and bam are talking and Hoh shows him how he controls shinsu and bam calls him talented. But then lauroe stands up and teaches Bam to do a bang and bam managed to do it within a few seconds. Then Lauroe leaves by saying "THAT is true talent" and Hoh is left surprised (* insert surprised pikachu face*). Or that one quote that Quant says after Bam copied his skill after seeing it once and after Hoh killed himself. I believe that the quote was somewhere among the lines of: "They all want to go up even through betrayal and abandonment. But it's ridiculous that God chose this boy who's crying because he lost a friend and not a rival. But if that talent of his is real, he can't go with them anyway because even if he's still just a baby tiger he can't run around with the house cats" (something like that...this is not the exact quote but it's somewhere along these lines)

@TheOnlyWay2Go.4 жыл бұрын
Allan Brewster let me then ask, how do you define deep? Because Rachel was at first a mother figure, who tossed away her baby bird for something else-then you see her as a coward, and weak? Yet spiteful of the fact that she wasn’t chosen by destiny, and willing to do anything to change that-then she was a cruel backstabber, no better than any other tower climber and jealous of baam’s ability to attain everything she desired. She betrayed him, and millions of readers (now anime only’s) asked, why? Then you get sprinkles of her story, which add to the depth, she care from a place above the cave to take care of baam, in a world where Headon was recorded as a “Fairy” from a “book”, and THEN learn that she knew Arlene. Most likely a maid as you said. Spite ya don’t jealous she may be, but those same characteristics are very VERY human. Rachel at her core reflects the human condition at its core. And it’s a condition reflected in our own world for decades. When the weak dream big, but they’re not the “main protagonist” as it were, what hope do they have to get there? Many die young from poverty or starvation, or drug abuse. Rachel was a maid, but we have no idea how she was treated in her homeland-all we know is that she’s aware of baams “destiny”, as long and difficult and heartbreaking of a journey it may be. *Something* is the source of Rachel’s desires, desires so human no one can dispute, in a world were the weak die (remember Hoh) and the strong devour-AND THEN Rachel goes a step further when she does such cruel things Out. of. Pettiness... like exploding Khun’s heart, and stabbing Dan’s legs, and killing Arkraptor. - BUT THATS NOT ALL. Even after all of that, after she’s been confronted by Baam for hurting Khun, and tossed aside by fate again. After Baam finally cuts all ties with her, she does something strange. She seeks to RETIE herself to Baam. She gives him a slice of info and states how “he now has a reason to continue chasing after her”, and then the reader for a second time ask, why? Is this cut of ties not what she’s wanted for so long? Hasn’t Baam chase for her, actively ruined some of her plans of getting stronger? Why does she desire to keep Baam attached to her? And that adds ANOTHER layer of depth. A mere spiteful and jealous person wouldn’t do that. She’s something more. Maybe she secretly desires someone looking towards her as a star and end destination? Maybe she’s trying to lead Baam up the tower? Maybe this entire story so far has been planned by her, Arlene, and the god outside? Maybe there was a plan but when Baam chases *her* instead of vice versa, she can pretend and feel like she *IS* the heroine of the story; the protagonist. We still don’t know, but to ME - that is what depth is. Depth is where there is “meaning behind the madness”- when there is more than the surface level actions and thoughts-when there’s a history and a background, and maybe a future destination. That’s complexity. That’s depth
@allanbrewster72484 жыл бұрын
Michael Nwazue I truly respect your opinion, but let’s view it from this angle, her being a mother figure to Baam could have been nothing more than her manipulating him getting to explore the cave where Baam was held and finding the gate into the Tower, we did get a flashback before she boarded the train of her asking Baam to show her where “Three Eyed Mountain” is. Then her getting Baam to keep chasing after her could have been nothing more than her not wanting to set him free to completely pursue his fate. If what Rachel truly wanted was someone who viewed her as their universe, she already had that and didn’t think twice about tossing it down the trash. Rachel was Baam’s sole purpose for entering the Tower, so everyone from Hedon to Hansung & Hwaryun had to manipulate the circumstances to get Baam to go up the Tower and kickstart his journey, looking at the bigger picture Rachel was being led by the nose from the very beginning, she really thought they did it all for her when it was actually the opposite, so I don’t think she has any grandiose reasons for doing what she does. She’s a person driven by the worst of human instincts, which is fine I guess considering the first murder of another human being was committed by a brother killing his own brother out of nothing but jealousy (Kane & Abel).

Despite the anime having better art, they left out and changed so much from the first season. Terms like bang which still get brought up are only explained in season 1 among other things. We get info on how the goal of the floor of tests (finding threats to Jahad) came to be. It used to be like any other floor but then Urek showed up and formed Wolhaiksong, which rivaled the ten great families and another Irregular showed up by the name of Phantaminum, he raided Jahad's castle and killed all of his best Rankers. Those 2 are the reason the floor of tests came to be and why their goal is to find potential threats. Those 2 are also the reason why Irregulars have a bad reputation and that piece of info on Phantaminum is one of the only times he is mentioned in the entire series, you only get it if you read season 1. Season 1 also mentioned a bit of info on the Irregular Enryu, I won't say much on him since you'll be seeing more of him soon, but season 1 mentions how he was able to create life with Shinsu. There were changes like how they made Khun more aggressive and for some reason, everyone knows about him and Maria. They cut some dialogue from Bam that really adds to his character in season 1. They even changed the ending, in the webtoon, Bam is bloody and broken both physically and mentally asking why Rachel did this to him before being asked by Hwaryun to climb the tower, you see Bam at his lowest and you really wonder where his character will go from here. In the anime, he passed out not really bloody, he's a bit hurt from the fight from the bull but mostly fine. Then he needs to be reminded as to what happened and then makes this speech about how he'll find the answers, which is surprisingly optimistic since he was just betrayed by the person he cares for the most. You don't see Bam at his lowest, and his speech doesn't really make you wonder about his character as much as it does in the webtoon, unlike in the webtoon in the anime you can just say, "he'll be alright". Check out Dr. Bonehead's video on the ending to see what I mean, it's called "Tower of God's Ending CHANGED in the Anime...". Read season 1, if you don't like the art that's fine but it isn't worth just watching the anime when you aren't getting everything you should get. Not saying the anime is bad but it doesn't show you everything season 1 has to offer, it's still good though.

Also, what most people don't understand is that for Bam Rachel is the person that raised him, the only one he knew. she didn't only have the role of a mother/family, she was the one who taught him about life. In that sense, Rachel was everything that he knew and could rely on which makes his attachment to her so strong. (the rest of the comment down there may have slights spoilers) thankfully, later on, he gets more development to a point that he gives up understanding her and tries to cut any ties they may have warning her to stay away (beautiful moment).
