I think both will be well represented, haha. I believe the raw power would be on her side and the technique on his. I see them as very different, she having immense destructive raw power to the point of being unable to control it, and Han as a warrior with various special techniques who has perfected each one and has total control over them.
Sick of reading "Blossom uses her flames and it's GG" when we know she doesn't even control them and no FH would be defenseless against this :twitch.

Honestly thinking about it now, the absurd lack of Ari Family narrative throughout Season 3 is pretty jarring as hell now.
At least we saw one. We still don't know any Tu Perie.

please make this stop this similar to getting slowly ate by ants inside a pitch black hole

It’s cute.

I like relationships like this.

people should stop viewing this as a Urek vs Eduan situation at this point.

they will likely end up having a good bond.

Lulz, Tu Pierre is lucky as he's bound to be relevant due to the Lighthouses existing and of course the three Operas.


But Bloodmadder is genuinely in the ninth circle of hell in irrelevancy

I wonder if Joochun exist or he is merged with Baek. I remember Gussy calling by his full name as Baek Ryun so good chance he ain't one but Baek asking UM to peace out war is a typical Ari thing to do. Maybe Ari asked Baek to make UM peace out since FLs promised to not interfere with the war.
Three lords are probably not cannon so this is a possibility for sure.

I think Baek is part Ari and part something else that would make him special, not sure if the snake is at play tho.

Baek Ryun was born in the Middle Area, an orphan, and was naturally gifted with Shinsu without any formal instruction. That alone already sets him apart.

So if lineage plays a role at all, it is much more likely that his bloodline was lost, erased, or forgotten rather than him being a known descendant of a Great Family like Ari Hon. His strength feels less like inherited prestige and more like an ancient, quiet compatibility with Shinsu itself.

Well, his backstory has clearly been changed since he is a Regular here and already met Urek.

Hmm, baek being an ari sounds... like the wrong theory. The only reason people have the ari folk on their mind is the gang entering ari territory but so far there's nothing about baek that ties to anything we know regarding the ari.

That said, for me it's difficult to ignore than when he displays his shinsoo a moon appears. Even though the tower has fake skies, fake stars and certainly no moon. A connection to an irregular wouldn't be particularly strange. Though it's just as easy that SIU thinks this looks cool.

I agree that some parts are clearly adjusted or expanded in the spin‑off. The timeline changes, like Baek Ryun being shown as a Regular and meeting Urek earlier, are definitely new.

That said, I still prefer the idea that Baek Ryun falls into something else category, rather than being an Ari Hon descendant or tied directly to a known Great Family. His Shinsu proficiency feels too natural and quiet for a prestigious lineage, and the story has already shown how limited and stagnant the Family Heads and Great Families really are.

I want my boy to be separate from them, because that separation brings a new twist and a much fresher flavor to the story. An ancient, forgotten, or erased bloodline that the Tower no longer recognizes fits Baek Ryun far better than inheriting relevance from families that have already peaked.

Yeah, I agree. The Ari theory seems to exist mostly because of the location, not Baek himself. The moon imagery is interesting, but whether it’s lore relevant or just visual flair, it still feels more “something unknown” than a clean Great Family tie.

The new poll is not taking into account the rummors made by siu lol that he is suspected to be an Eurasia.

Everything been changing for the worst but i think that at least Eurasia/phonsecal should be an option.

This theory was before in his wiki profile now has been removed.

Yes, I followed that Blossom "fever", especially on reddit, where we see a lot of crazy comments. There are always some overrated characters, I still doubt there's a character in the story who's more overrated than Yuri, for example. I think in the case of a FH, it's more justifiable. She undoubtedly has incredible raw power. I see the fact that she can't control her power as a weakness, but it also makes her unpredictable and dangerous in battle. However, she's not defeating other FH with extreme ease, what some FH lack in raw power, they compensate for in other ways.

I hope Tu Perie fans get their moment too, FH is supposedly quite active, and I believe we'll see them in S4.

Before this spinoff (which is heading to replace the main series) in Urek’s profile was that he was beestfriend with an Ari clan member which is a higher up in the Zahard government.

A lot of this rumor culture exists because the SIU never fully clarified things early on. Still, I prefer Baek Ryun to be something else rather than another Great Family descendant.

I didn't mean to imply it was tied to a great family. IIRC none of the great families are associated to moon imagery. And if baek maintains the wave controller thing then the wave controller families are eurasia, po bidao and yeon. From eurasia family members we have seen either advanced shinsoo techniques or elemental techniques. Blossom in particular is noted for her flame though I wouldn't be surprised if she has dominion over the elements we have seen from her family members. On the other hand you have the yeon who are flame users. Then you have the po bidao though seeing how the arc played out I don't think its... accurate to say even gustang specializes in wave controlling. Gustang is more of a reality warper and his family, written into existence by him, has a wide variety of skills most of which aren't related to wave controlling. There's no moon themes to go around at all. There could be other irregulars around from which baek could originate from. Or maybe he is an irregular but got to the tower at such a young age that he doesn't even know it. Or maybe he is just a dude with whom SIU went with the rule of cool.

In term of power and seeing how the tower works
Is almost impossible he is not from one of the 10 GFs
He surpassed a Zahard princesses that can only be done by another irregular descendant.

we have zero examples of any other regular with this level of mastery that is not a member of the 10 with daddy issues.

Now the most powerful regulars we have seen from early age with the level of shinsu mastery has been all from Eurasia/phonsecal family.

Make sense and fair point. Still, none of the known Wave Controller families really fit Baek, and the moon imagery doesn’t line up with them either. That’s why I lean toward Baek being “something else” for now.
