But doesn't FUG not need a figurehead? considering that it's an organization created by a specific Irregular?

You're thinking of the Wingtree Organization, which is different. FUG was created by one of the people who climbed the tower with Zahard.

This is Wingtree.

This is FUG.

Baam has more-or-less been formally invited to both; he just doesn't know about his Wingtree invitation from Yuri yet.

According to the high-ranker write-up, FUG's leader is actually a native of the tower who helped the 10 heroes or whatever carve out the Zahard Empire :science:

I don't get why this thread likes that character so much. He's just a Klingon-equivalent used to make tsundere jokes.

Personally, I'm looking forward to more of characters like Anak, Koon, and Jaina being all :smug: and :master:.

His intro was the absolute best. ... .....even if he's fated to be a minor character

Mangator is absolutely the best character because he calls everyone "turtle" and he looks badass.

Does anyone know what the "slayer candidate" of FUG is supposed to be? If I had to guess it would be that he/she can slay Zahard but I don't think it has really been explained.

I'm also guessing it means someone who can kill Zahard, but I suppose it could also mean someone who can kill Guardians.

"Yeh've forged a magnificent sword."

"This one's only practice. The real sword I intend to forge will be three times longer."

"Can there really be a sword as monstrous as that in this world?"

"Yes. I can see that sword... Somewhere out there..."
Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing Yuri do things again. She never showed up for long, but cool things happened when she did.

Plus, if she does, we might see Viole get Black March in a more permanent capacity. Not enough rapiers in anime.

There are a maximum of eleven Slayers. Slayers are appointed to one day kill Zahard and the heads of the 10 Families, so there's one Slayer for each of them. There's four empty spots right now, apparently. Aside from that, we don't know much.

I'm half-expecting that the slayers are 'assigned' a Family when they're given their position, just so we have a chapter ending with something like "Viole Jyu Grace, you are now the Slayer of Koon." (Grace himself has probably called Zahard already, after all.)

New chapter is out. Reuploaded for your convenience.

Though actually it's not very convenient, I guess Imgur changed some things around and now you have to click the gear to get the full resolution images. 6 pages in total.

So we're finally back to the team that dedicated themselves to Baam's original cause of bringing Lahel/Rachel to the top of the tower. Let's see how many of the original members are still remaining.

Looks like they're working on improving their chances still, and my assumption is Koon is the man in charge because it's Koon we're talking about here. That said... where's the Gator!? :mad:

If that's true, this sucks because character interactions are what make this manhwa good. Chapters focusing on only one or two characters so far have been exceedingly boring :(

Just finished marathoning through the series. Now I have to wait for new chapters. :negative:

Something I'm wondering about is how much Viole is in on the conspiracy going on. I doubt he's completely aware, that is he doesn't know about the manipulations that got him to join FUG, but I do think all his actions in the last arc were done as a means to manipulate Wangnan, and that FUG is just telling him some reason other than the real one for it.

That kind of makes me wonder if FUG wasn't partly behind Wangnan's previous failures to pass the level 20 test. Despite not being a Viole-style ubermensh, he's depicted as quite clever, opportunistic, and competent. If he really is Zahard's heir, FUG may have wanted to keep him in reserve until now.

On the other hand, he's apparently a Fisherman [evidenced by his Reel inventory], but has displayed absolutely no competence at that role.

Didn't he use his reel to grab the connecter from Love? Blindsiding a ranker and grabbing something they're protecting is rather impressive.

I guess, but I don't think Love even suspected he'd go for the controller, let alone barge in on them. It doesn't really say anything about his combat abilities though, and that's really what the Fisherman spot is about.

I'm glad that they went ahead and let us know Koon is onto her. It would have beyond belief that loving Koon would be fooled when she's that sloppy about it.
