Theory: The Significance of the Number 4 in Tower of God
I've been thinking about how the number 4, which signifies death in Korean culture, might be connected to some key characters and events in Tower of God. This idea could explain the looming danger or death flags associated with certain characters who are linked to this number.
1. UM: UM is ranked 4th in the Tower. Given the cultural association of 4 with death, his rank could be hinting at some future peril or a significant, possibly tragic, event in his storyline.
2. Mirchea: He is the 4th Slayer we encounter in the series. This might foreshadow a dangerous fate for him, as the number 4 could be marking him for something significant, possibly deadly.
Evidences to support the theory
1. Khun: Khun is the 4th character Bam interacts with (excluding BM, since it's an item) when he first enters the Tower. Khun has faced numerous fake death flags throughout the series, which could be a subtle nod to the ominous association with the number 4.
2. The LPB Family: The LPB Family is the 4th Great Family mentioned in the webtoon. Given their current situation, this could be a hint at the decline or destruction that looms over them.
3. Rei: Rei is the 4th FL whose name was revealed and who we see in the webtoon. His high death flag in the ongoing war could be tied to his association with the number 4.
4. The Fourth Army Corps: The Fourth Army Corps was meant to be destroyed but was partially saved by Bam, though they remain abandoned. This near-destruction and abandonment reflect the death connotation of the number 4.
5. The Ancient Rei Killed: In the flashback, Rei kills the 4th Ancient we've seen in the series, apart from Akrinark, EVK's fiery Elephant, and KH minotaur. This action could be another link between the number 4 and death.
6. Gussy's Scriptures: So far, we've learned of 4 scriptures from Gussy who confirm themselves as scriptures. Tiara, the 4th scripture, was killed by Enkidu, which fits the pattern of death associated with the number 4.
7. JH: JH is the 4th FUG member to care about Bam. He also had death flags in LS. Given the association of the number 4 with death, this could be a subtle foreshadowing of a significant or possibly tragic event involving JH.
This theory suggests that the number 4 is more than just a number in Tower of God—it's a symbol of danger, death, or significant peril that could shape the fates of those associated with it.
