@@jasongustave9657 bro said one peace 😂

[@scragar]

Minor point: Baam is an irregular because he let himself in; regulars are invited into the tower or came from within. A regular is playing by the towers rules, an irregular is special because they can make the rules(similar to the administrators who control the whole of their floor including tests, shinsu flow, door to the next floor, etc). Just being from outside the tower doesn't make you an irregular, you have to get in by forcing the tower to open the way in for you.

[@SUPERRRRR-g2v]

I don't understand the plot that much but correct me if I'm wrong. At the time the tower took Rachel in, bam was the only one else there. But the first administrator person told Rachel that the tower didn't choose her. It was opening for bam. So what technically makes bam an irregular?

[@omeshpersaud4868]

​@@SUPERRRRR-g2vAnyone that is chosen by Headon is a regular. Anyone who enter the tower without being chosen by Headon either by opening the door themselves or being chosen by the tower is an irregular

[@SUPERRRRR-g2v]

@@omeshpersaud4868 thanks for clarifying. This series is very complicated.

[@mrmcawesome9746]

This is just a misconception that's been around for a really long time now. Rachel lacks the ability to break spells and fuck with the rules the way Baam does (because the Tower didn't choose her / she didn't open the doors), but she's still classified as an Irregular simply because she's from outside the Tower. Literally the only meaning of "Irregular" in ToG is "being from outside the Tower", the word is never used to mean anything else. "Regular", on the other hand, is more complicated, because you can be from the Tower and therefore subject to all of its rules without being a Regular, say if you're a Ranker, a Guide or just a resident of one of the floors, but you can also be from outside the Tower and still be a Regular, like Baam and Rachel (and Urek, before he became a ranker), as long as you're participating in the Administrators' tests and climbing the Tower. TL;DR: "Irregular" means you're from outside the Tower. "Regular" means you're climbing the Tower the normal way. They are not opposites, they are not mutually exclusive, all of that is years-old fanbase-wide headcanon. (and also in-universe propaganda against Irregulars, hence the name)

[@justinmoser2598]

​@@SUPERRRRR-g2vI believe Baam opened the door and Rachel was under him when he did so she fell in as well, she wasn't chosen as regulars chosen to climb the tower don't go to the first floor but rather straight to the second, where as Baam and Rachel both met with hedon on the first floor

[@justanothergirl__]

신수 (Shinsu) definitely isn't pronounced with an /o/ at the end. That aside, I definitely wanna see more ToG content! :D Minor corrections: - Headon doesn't normally test people; Baam only fought the the White Steel Eel because he entered the Tower as an Irregular.

[@alangamer1246]

In fact the creator of Tower of God made an art or drawing, which said that, the shinsoo or (divine water) outside the tower is known as divine Ki or divine Chakra.

[@Nuklere]

@@alangamer1246 I would love to have a link to this drawing, if possible, because, as far as we know, Shinsu only exists inside the Tower, as the power system outside the Tower is completely different, but basically all lore of the Outside World pretty much no longer exists, so we're not sure how much of it SIU is going to keep canon.

[@itachi15243ify]

Nick just lives to be wrong for some reason sadly.

[@Michael-qo5mj]

⁠@@Nuklere I’m pretty confident he has said something about divine ki/chakra, but I don’t think he said it was the same thing as shinsu because as you said it should only exist in the tower. So if I had to guess it was probably something about how the power system outside the tower is called divine ki/chakra.

[@VIA_ZEL_REDGRAVE2]

@@Nuklere YEAH, you are right. shinsoo only exists in the tower but there exists a force outside of tower which is called divine ki and it's inherently different from Shinsoo. Siu only mention it in his post and divine ki also works on different principles and what they are is not told to us.

[@mrmplatt]

Dude! So excited that you covered Tower of God. Been reading the manhwa for a while now and while the beginning was a bit of a slow burner, the world building, rules, characters, and everything else has been great. Hope to see more videos on the topic in the future as there is definitely a lot to cover like you said!

[@Naxx03]

2:20 Since you like ToG so far, I reccommend to make review of the arcs, if you read through the manhwa. Maybe 1 per week or if too much, 1 per month

TOG is my fav series of all time. Its very underrated in the west so any spotlight to it is very appreciated.

[@justgamingbro1305]

I prefer it in the shadows not gonna lie s2 animation messed me up i liked the rough patch work we got in the s1

[@Kaze91]

@@justgamingbro1305 animation is very subjective but i also liked season 1 art style. I like both seasons tbh. And yes, as a fandom gets bigger it comes with issues, but i love TOG and feel it and SIU deserve more recognition. Its a series that changed my life even so maybe it can so for many others as well.

[@hellraiser217]

That's... Not actually true. Webtoon, the platform the translation for the comic is hosted on, registers as it having been viewed over 1 billion times since it started releasing with about 3.6 million still actively subscribed to it. The series was massive in the west when it started releasing and was pretty damn popular for a good long time. But as it has been releasing chapters for almost a decade now its popularity slowly began to dip. This was legitimately one of the biggest webtoons in existence. The only reason why it wasn't "bigger" is because at the time webtoons were in a weird niche at the time.

[@hellraiser217]

Oh right, forgot to mention that decade isn't including the period before it was actually officially translated. As I recall, there were fantranslations a little bit before that, then Naver wound up hosting it for a bit on a separate site before it wound up being taken up by webtoon.

[@Kaze91]

@@hellraiser217 i know it was basically the "one piece" of Korea but the west only caught on the last few years, especially after the anime. Ive been reading since early season 2, so ive watched its popularity spread, or rather, manwha in general began to spread. Because of its unique feel compared to Japanese manga. I know it wasnt small in Korea but manwha in general has been slowly blowing up over time.

[@nealyoung30862]

Did you know it started out as a WebToon comic? Been reading it since it first came out. Amazing how someone putting their comic on a free comic website resulted in an anime

[@juderivera3538]

Tower of God has been amazing since it started and I'm glad it's finally getting the hype it deserves

[@HammondSoul808s]

@3:03 ackshually, the term shinsu is spelt in Hangeul 신수, which is romanized as shinsu or shinsoo (to provide a distinction, as the 어 sound will sometimes have an "uh" pronounciation) and is indeed pronounced as shinsu and not shinso+

[@C3DMRFJ]

So BANG means Amounts MYUN means Range SOU means the highest intensity So a sniper type should have a small Bang, but is able to shoot said bang across a very far range, an a high amount of shinso density when shooting the bullet out to the target. Anyone capable of forming infinite amounts of Bang or points of Shinso, of any kind of property, be on par with an administrator of the tower.

[@llyttine]

[@blaineverret1476]

I honestly think you could use it for a new weekly review. The 'episodes' in the webcomic aren't too long, so you could easily lump a set number together. I haven't caught season 2 yet but I'm certain they aren't quite close to catching up to the source material anytime soon. Another one I started when ToG went on hiatus for a bit was "Return of the Mad Demon" and let me tell you it's a WILD, riot of a ride lmao

[@slicks8152]

3:10 wrong, its pronounced shin-soo not shinso, in the original version of tog (pre webtoon release) shinsu was called “shinsoo” there is no way to get the oo sound misstranskaded because the eo and u sound in korean are spelt COMPLETELY differently

[@slicks8152]

3:32 Also wrong, bam is not irregular because he was born outside, but because he opened the door to the tower by himself, this is easily proven by the fact that urek mazino is an irregular and born in the tower

[@izzym3899]

Very excited to see more TOG content in the future (hopefully) I love TOG and have been reading since 2016c rereading the manhwa this year re-ignited my hyperfixation and honestly there are so many topics that could be discussed: Simply off the top of my head I can think of - The Princesses of Jahad - How big IS the tower really? And the fact we only know of 134 floors - The family leaders - FUG - Bams growth as a character and how Rachel is like the literal opposite of him - Guides , Certain positions Literally SO much and even if we don’t cover more informational topics there’s still just discussing the arcs in TOG that could be cool as well getting through Hell Train would take at least half an hour 💀

Over all it's a decent season, but fall season about to hit different. >.>

[@literalpotato6230]

The concept of shinsu is not really that difficult. You can think of it as Chakra from Narutoverse. Although the difference is that the Shinsu is just everywhere. They probably use it to breathe ( live ), for power source, or to run whatever things that works. But of course, the shinsu you can consume or use depends on the limit the Tower can grant you. This is why regulars should seek a contract with the administration if they want to improve their manipulation of shinsu either for living or fighting purposes. As we go on, things becomes complex. We got shinsu qualities ( which are basically elements or chakra natures ), shinsu control ( how shinsu is handled in weapons or on yourself ), shinsu resistance ( defense skill against attacks ), and many more. Shinsu is just basically the power source of ToG. It can be handle in many ways and much more complex stuff as we reach Season 3, where every logic just collapses. But all you need to know is that all of these guys are drawing their power from shinsu.
