Wasn't me. I think both Zahard Empire and FUG are bad guys.
The plan seems to sort of have been to have bam revived so that he may dethrone zahard via ass kicking. It's a grey area enough when you revive your baby's corpse so that he fights a way which you lost, ideally a parent does not want a child to do that. That said, this is a potentially already insane arlen that had already been driven to the edge by the sheer amount of bullshit which had already transpired.
Where did you get the idea that Baek is stronger than Blossom? He is just self-taught. Just like Blossom and the other Irregaulars are. Is it due to his ranking?Comparing the family heads gets pretty difficult because a lot of them have different specialties. The rankings are supposed to give a general idea of who is stronger. But in different situations and different teams it probably changes things a lot.
Arie Hon is a Fisherman(close to mid range fighter) which is what most of the top rankers are. He's the best swordsman in the tower and the strongest fighter among the 10 family heads.
In terms of Spear Bearers(long range fighters) Eduan is the strongest behind Enryu. Supposedly when he pairs up with Hendo Lok Bloodmadder, who is a Defender, they are invincible. So basically if Eduan has a tank protecting him he's monstrous.
Blossom is actually a Wave Controller(support caster essentially). The second strongest behind Baek Ryun who is the guy currently running Wing Tree and Mazino's best friend.
And some more fun facts about Eurasia Blossom. She's famous for being lazy. Has a child's appearance. And the princess that went crazy due to the 10 month series trap Enne Zahard was her and Gustav's love child. Which can only mean one thing...--- Double Post Merged, , Original Post Date: ---

Rankings of the family heads is harder to guage because they probably have never fought since the civil war, if they even took part. Hon's fight against Urek was a test. Not very reliable. Eduan has probably been the most active in that regard since he enjoys fighting and stated if anyone defeats him, he'll hand over his family. So, I'm sure people have probably seen a glimpse of his strength more than the others, even if the challengers are rare occasions.

I think the main reason data Zahard erased his companions is to protect “it” since all of them together would pose a big threat to him. And I would guess that “it” poses a threat to Zahard in some way. Perhaps the real Zahard has an inkling that his old friends don’t like him and they’d try to steal “it” at some point... which is true, look at what Gustang is doing.
The only way I can make sense of this is if the members of FUG had roles to play and YHS role was to secretly prepare the way for Bam. This was likely kept a secret from all, including those in fug.
Maybe YHS is a descendant to one of the people that aligned themselves with V and Arlen.
Baek is ranked 9th. Blossom is ranked 13th.
He's an orphan supposedly right? I bet it has something to do with who his parents are.
Yeah, this is a very strong possibility as well. But if he was an orphan from an important family then it is weird no one bothered to pick him up. Someone of baek' talents would be insanely valuable to any family. To me that at least opens up the possibility that he has a "last of his lineage" thing going on. I do think the most likely scenario is that he is simply from a former important family and his talents reflect that.
That would explain how he was able to manipulate shinsoo... since his family might have had a contract already. There have been examples of a branch family being targeted by the main family and this may be the case.
If anything, Baek is ranked higher than her due to the influence he and Urek have in the tower than Bloossm. Like I've mentioned before the 10 heads barely do anything that showcases their power to even compare their strength yet. The person we know who is the most active among them in that regard - does it by giving tests that rarely takes place.
Seems to be the only plausible explanation that comes to mind.
Don't really see where your getting that assumption from. I mean, yeah his influence is a big deal but he is a wavecontroller and he is ranked higher than she is. And unlike her he's not immortal or one of the 10 family heads. So until we see otherwise I think we've got to take the rankings word for it on who's stronger than who.
My assumptions do not scream otherworldly, Seems reasonable. You're leaning more on indiviudal strength than influence in regard to the rankings due to the number that is placed on them. Which is odd as Baek has no feats aside from being the most gifted regular at using Shinsoo. Not to mention his rank is more based on influence than power. Imo, it almost equates to stating Enne and Adori are stronger than a vast majority of the family heads with the exception of Hon and Eduan only alittle worse. Honestly looks like the rankings are more based on influence than power. Influence taken from either hyperbolic tales or factual tales, or a combination of both, and maybe some other things. Similar to one of the reasons as to why majority of slayers aren't within the top 10 or 17. It's because their influence isn't as great. Which is why I have no idea where you're getting this idea that he is stronger than her. I mean it's hard enough to gauge who is the second strongest among the 10 heads and the gap between one and other.
