Entirely one-sided attraction. I'm not buying it.

Serious answer to the original question, though. Nobody, as I see it. Baam's got bigger items on his agenda. He's someone destined to become a god. He's got neither the time nor the inclination to be bothered with mundane nonsense like getting a girlfriend.
That’s exactly Garam’s point. Androssi can try to love Bam as a person or she can help Bam be who the Tower wants him to be, she can’t do both. My guess is that her statement is both personal and has a lot to do with the history of Zahard/V/Arlene.

She can't stay with Team Baam forever and lead them as if they were babies, she will have to go.
Why? There's nothing to compel Yuri to leave, now that she's formally given the finger to the Empire by handing Black March to Baam in full view of an imperial army. She no longer needs to keep up appearances as a Princess, and there's no longer any point in being concerned with not drawing attention to Baam. Too late. The best she can do for him now is to hang around and help keep the wolves at bay.

Besides, it doesn't seem like it's going to be too much longer before Baam is fighting alongside her, rather than being led around (meanwhile, again, the Regulars become ever increasingly unable to do anything in Baam's battles). And I can see no argument to be made that her presence around the main plot is in any way hamstringing Baam's development.

Depends on the tolerance of the guardians. I think because the rules on the train are a little hax, Yuri has been allowed to mingle with Regulars. Typically Rankers are not allowed in Regular areas unless they have specific permission.

The girl that show that care most for Baam is Yuri.She break the rules to find and help Baam.Endrossi is not my type of female character too.It is possible to see another girl for Baam later.

Also, I don't quite think this is true. The climb has become increasingly irrelevant in recent years, as Baam's personal growth has almost entirely trivialized the task of ascending the Tower. And now we have him deliberately stepping out into the Rankers' sandbox and showing that he belongs there. It's hard to imagine him going back to primarily tussling with Regulars after all this. Yuri has the most traditional heroine qualities out of the story's female cast, and Baam's own direction seems headed to a place where she would gain even more prominence in the arcs to come. Meanwhile, the Regulars dwindle in relevance as the main character leaves them in his wake in terms of power.
Yes but you forget that the rules of the Tower forbid Yuri from traveling with Bam. The hell train has hax rules that allowed her on, as well as the FoD, and right now Bam and Androssi aren’t in the Regulars area. On 2F, Yuri should have been punished but her actions were allowed by the administrator.

I guess you could argue admins from now on could allow Yuri to travel with Bam, but TBH that would only hinder him, as she could bail him out when he should be growing from challenge.

If I had to bet, Yuri will have to hide with Wolhaiksong after this arc. Besides, SIU said Yuri is a character for the second half and most likely we will need a breather from Rankers soon so Yuri will take a step back.

One last thing: this story is about our Regular friends from 2F. They are the ones who will change the Tower, with help from some Rankers of course. And so, the heroes and heroines will be the Regulars. Don’t get me wrong, I L O V E Yuri, but she’s not the heroine SIU was talking about.

Why hasn't Enne Jahad been mentioned here yet?? She seem like a plausible candidate to be the heroine of the story. With her connections with Arlene and her hatred against Jahad is gonna be a driving force here.

But, IIRC, this blogpost was done near the end of s1, after Androssi was already introduced.

Enne did heroic things for sure, and she probably has a large part (maybe not in terms of time but definitely impact) yet to play. The way I see it, Rankers will come in and out of the story but not play a major part. It’s just that in ToG we see more of that layer than in most works.

In Naruto we don’t see what Jiraya and Tsunade are doing most of the time. I bet Jiraya had some badazz reconnaissance missions and it would have been amaaaaazing to see them. However, his role was to support Naruto and the fellow class of genins. Naruto the manga was their story.

Anyone that’s climbed the Tower before Bam is likely a supporting role and that’s it.

This story is not about regulars lmao , it was probably until the name hunt station. Do people really think we will back to regulars only after this arc, no way. The story has now reached a high level where we will see rankers and HR fight, baam is now ranker level, he will not back to deal with regulars, his friends can't keep with him forever, he is an irregular, baam will reach HR level they will still be regulars, for exemple baam will probably be HR level at 77th floor while his friends will be C or B class regulars. Also baam is gonna change the tower not his friends, it was the same with urek wolhaiksong is useless without him.

Doesnt matter if he is higher than the ranker level he is still stuck in each floor till he gves the exam and moves up, unless there are other train service that takes you through different floors. He is going to be stuck with AA i beleive for some time atleast. A d its not like he wont meet tough enemies to fight with goven if this mission fails zahard will send more folks to kill him off.

Regardless, it seems beyond comprehension that we're going to see Regulars ever posing even the slightest whisper of a challenge to Baam again. So any serious fights he's going to be involved in are going to be against Rankers going forward. Those are fights in which his Regular friends can't be anything but liabilities as things stand. Whatever allies Baam is going to have, then, are going to need to be Rankers themselves. And where Baam goes, goes the story.

The thing is that Baam will not go anywhere without his friends and clearly people like Koon and Rak are there to stay. SIU knows what he is doing.

I never said that they were going to leave. I don't think they're going to magically become useful or relevant in his fights either, as neither of them have been for a long time now. When's the last time Koon or Rak contributed anything whatsoever to one of Baam's major battles? Reflejo? How long ago was that?

I was only talking about their relevance. Baam fights Rankers, they fight Regulars and help Baam in other ways. That's the most simple outcome. In fights against a Ranker, as long as Baam is there they can be relevant I believe, but not because of their fighting ability.

So essentially, they can be Krillin and Yamcha to Baam's Goku. The former are not quite what I'd call relevant characters at any point in DBZ, but certainly not in the latter arcs. So like I said, if Baam needs any serious backup going forward then he'd better hope it comes from elsewhere. Maybe SIU can actually put Androssi in a cheerleader outfit.

At the end of the day, this has become a saga almost entirely driven by Baam and his personal growth. Those who can't play ball in that arena, aren't especially important. This is also why Wangnan and Rachel have both all but ceded their 'protagonist' spots, as far as I'm concerned.

Kinda odd-topic here.

My feeling is that many of Bam’s friends will be quite competent to fight with him.

Rak - power of ancient :delerium
Koon - rare ice ability, already hax character before shinsoo use :ruawizard

Yiwah - secret flame of the family :allthe
Androssi - yet to be revealed ultimate lineage :ttgl

Okay, the last one is a stretch at the moment, but deep down you know it’s true. Still, it’s no coincidence that Bam’s class on 2F is stacked with talent and many of them will be relevant all the way to the top.

TBH, Bam is only relevant in this fight with Rankers because he has Black March. Otherwise he’d be dead. Granted, no one else would be relevant with BM...

Anyway, my point is that SIU has a plan for them all to go together. ESPECIALLY because that’s what Bam wants more than anything else. Bam will find a way.

So to tie that back into this topic, I think that any of Bam’s regular companions would be a fine match for him. Shoot, for all we know Rachel never taught Bam about love so he has no clue at all. The guy didn’t even have friends until recently and was dead not long before that.

Anyway, I don’t think this journey is going to be Bam’s love story, so don’t expect that aspect to happen anytime soon. I mean... in FairyTail, Naruto, Bleach, among so many others the hero is oblivious until the end.

I have this crack theory that Androssi is another one of Zahard’s bastards like Wangnan (and that she is who Zahard asked Wangnan to knife).

It’s totally a crack theory!

That said it keeps her relevant: it gives her a higher ceiling than other princesses and might make her more significant to the big picture storyline.

I bring it up only because at this point it’d be weirder for nothing to happen with Androssi than something, but I can’t imagine how it’ll work and how it will fit into the story...romance seems very peripheral so far.

SIU made the point that eventually androsi's last name will be revealed.. Which doesn't exactly scream "I am a zahard bastard". Also, it would be weird if a someone who has zahard's power could be enhanced further with zahard's blood. Androsi likely has some somewhat special heritage (unless some of the stuff siu said is now obsolete) but it's not bound to be something like that. Either she has some distant connection to the 10 families or she is originally from a special family or bloodline. Which is not saying much because it covers literally all of the possibilities.

If bam does get a lover eventually, I do hope it is someone that has been introduced by now rather than some other girl at the end of the story. We already have such a great cast in general (androsi and yihwa mainly but a few other girls like elaine deserve a special mention) so it would just be weird if bam gets a 20 thousand year old princess at the end of the story. Of course, technically most characters are older than bam but it makes sense for him to go for someone born in the same eon as him.
