Maybe she is one of the persona's contained in a weapon, like the sword Baam had in his first test.

What happened with that sword? It seemed like a huge deal in the beginning of the series, but I can't really recall it being any help at all later on.

Baam gambled it in the crown game and lost it. Then Yuri took it and the green april from Androssi and Anak.

Kissmanga version for those that want it vertical.

Explosions at the start. I just find that funny because of the new Borderlands 2 DLC

I'm starting to like Koon's team. Hope we see more of them. Also, calling that Dan betrays Koon's group to help Rachel, or he pretends to do it under Koon's orders.

Has it been a decade? That's the toughest thing to remember about this comic, that time passing isn't really shown in the characters since Tower inhabitants are long-lived.

It said that the Dan entered two years ago in Koon team, so it's nine years. I suppose.

Cool. I don't get why they aren't translating "bang" though... since it just means "room". Also why is Quant's relative white.

According to the Wikia wiki, "Room" is a mistranslation; it really means "Release."

In terms of conveying what it seems to mean, I think that Baang would probably be best translated as "object."

Myun is normally translated as "size" or "surface," but English word for what the translators are going for is "volume."

Soo is shinsoo density within a Baang.

So wave controllers vary in how many Objects they can make and control, the Volume of space they can enclose in an object, and how Dense they can make an object.

Thanks. I was just guessing based on knowing what a PC bang is and the translation earlier in ToG.

You're welcome. I'm just looking for a more intuitive English word that doesn't contradict anything like their translation notes and such, though, not actually translating anything myself or anything.

You make room seem like a very succinct translation. Objects aren't necessarily containers, after all.

The endnotes are interesting. The Workshop has something to do with Baam's red skeleton (when Wangnan hit him with the non-shinsoo bomb), it seems. According to the Wiki, the Workshop also exists outside the Tower and (if I remember correctly) can make artificial lifeforms. I think they are explicitly mentioned as not knowing how to leave the Tower, though. Still, if he had been created for the purpose of entering the Tower, it would explain a lot about his living conditions when Rachel found him.

Of course, the skeleton could also be something FUG had added to Baam.

I'm a little disappointed the Devil of the Right Arm isn't Horyang. They don't even look particularly similar aside from the floating symbol.

Fact.

Although, I fee like I missed something. Maybe I've been phoning in my reads of this lately but I was like 'uhhhh what?' when he confronted Baam about being the same as him. Did I just blatantly miss a reference to Baam being an ignition weapon sometime before?

Refer to the end of this chapter.

It's talking about the weird lobster thing in Baam - it's come up in a few of the Author comments as well.

It's a bit far back and not really touched on because SiU doesn't give out information about just what the gently caress is with Baam very often.

He does it just often and well enough that you know we'll find out eventually while still keeping the mystery interesting.

Ahh that afterword. The author personally reached out and called me a dumbass for not thinking anything was suspicious about Baam going from being a scrub to being able to one shot the bull in one chapter.

I am curious how much is Baam and how much is the lobster god. Before that he wasn't a fighter but he did show excellent shinsoo affinity. I feel like that ability is what allows Baam to have lobster god in the first place.
