If the Great Warriors started climbing on their own for 10 years or so and were facing a Top 50 Caliber Ranker, they would lose just as much as Baam or worse. Irregulars don't grow or start in the same scale progression. There's Urek, then there's Rachel; there's Enryu, then there's Baam...
Then I meant Rak is officially better than Baam when he doesn't use his thorns.
I agree really. The sarcasm was too transparent to hide.
None of the Regulars are getting killed in this arc. It will be really interesting to see what SIU has in store.
It's official. Rak is stronger than Baam without Baam using any of his borrowed/absorbed powers. Without borrowed power, Rak is officially better than Baam as of right now. This is the spectacular writing leap our characters are going through right now; amazing.
SIU can not chicken out now. If SIU is going to keep skipping traditional Regular progression now, he's got to go all the way, like the full mile. It starts with Rak, then Khun and Endorsi should soon be going through with a trajectory to get their own major power-ups here. At this point in the...
It makes sense that this is the route SIU is going for. All the FHs being cold gods in some way or another would make the story too challenging for Baam (FHs being more caring and understanding of people when recovering memories could now make them less threatening in the story against Baam)...
Baam's biggest weakest is his attachment to people. By hurting or threatening the people he is attached to, you are able to control the actions or priorities of Baam. That's why Baam is involved in a colossal war in the first place. Maschenny manipulated Baam to war through Baam's connection to...
Androssi has good reason to dislike them, yet Baam glosses over that and seemingly expects her to default to forgiving them or tolerating them just because they are "sisters" of a family in name only. By minimizing Androssi's animosity towards the twins and the harm they've caused, Baam fails to...
Nobody is really important to the story if they are Regulars. If the main story becomes less about major Great Family conflicts and more about some Regular plot, then they will become important again.
Regulars should not be part of the story right now, but SIU wants them there, regardless of...
Androssi is far better than the majority of female Tower of God characters. Even if she misbehaves or has no serious stake in the plot, she is still far greater than most of what SIU has established over the years.
I guarantee you, she won't die in this arc or the next dozen story arcs...
I could see Laura's request unintentionally compounding with Elbaba's desire to kill the twin Princesses. I could see either the twin Princesses, Laura, or even the Snake become more vulnerable to Elbaba somehow due to whatever this request is. I rather SIU not manufacture any more family drama...
There was no Princess arc after all. Princesses were involved in the tournament story, but it is not an arc representative or dedicated to Princesses. The focus of the tournament storyline was not really on the Princesses themselves, but rather focused mainly on Baam's resistance to the forced...
Khun arrogantly disrespected an unforgiving god and was just let go scot-free.
Even Androssi disciplined Khun more than Traumerei did to him (lecture). Khun came away unscathed. Look at the comparison.
I think the escape route leading to the gate is a trap. A trap that Traumerei is aware of and a trap that will be used to punish the people who go through that gate. It is possible Traumerei is aware of the competition much more than we believe.
I wouldn't put it past Shilial to be playing a...
Separation does not work. SIU has to take responsibility for having his main supporting cast be as weak and as vulnerable as he had planned them to be through the constraints of his story. This did not have to be the case, but now he will have to deal with this issue through shameless gimmicks...
It is stupid. It's hilariously stupid. I can see why you see this as one of the worst ToG chapters. The logistics simply do not add up. Moreover, SIU is usually poor at portraying the magnitude and risks of intense situations. Baam and the other Regulars are too casual regarding the idea of...
