I'm kinda used to expecting a huge fight and only getting a small one but drat was this a pleasant surprise. Viole whipped out a huge bag of tricks and just tore them up. He's on a completely different level. Completely stopping the pipsqueak's lightning spear, lighting em up with 5 little balls of energy, ahhhh this chapter is so good

Her hood came off after offering to travel with Baam. She's also the one who set them up for a trap. She's presumably cooperating with the Devil of the Right Arm and Apple. Apple is the other lighthouse keeper on Koon's team, with the blonde hair.

Including when she made the triangle shield against the lightning spear? I ask because it looks a lot like Baam was totally ready to handle it himself but that she's pretty proficient in her own right in terms of working as a team. Next chapter is going to be something amazing.

I wouldn't be surprised if she's just a member of another team with an elaborate plan to soften up the competition. She clearly wanted to take Koon, Ran, and, um, other dude out. She didn't pick very good people to try to manipulate into doing it.

If you go read it at mangapirate, at the end SIU says the reason a wave controller plus lighthouse keeper team is so strong is because the lighthouse keeper can effectively multiply the number of rooms the wave controller has available. Still, it kind of seemed like the seal just didn't work on Baam and he converted his offensive rooms into defensive. Either way it was Baam doing it. I think rabbit ears is working with Cassano but she's also obviously got something against Koon's team. It would be sad if Horyang was dead, however I think there might be a possibility of him being alive as long as his ignition weapon still exists. Because souls can inhabit ignition weapons, his soul might be bound to the "devil of the right arm" (which is presumably what Cassano wants).

That's a fair point. The guy who is a living daemon weapon has some narrative leeway when it comes to being "dead." I guess it depends on what SUI wants this moment to mean to Baam (and possibly also Koon).

I mean, she pretty much had to have known that Koon brought some of the strongest regulars in their class or whatever with him. Guiding some complete stranger there and trying to start a fight when you have no idea how well they can fight is just too reckless.

As for the shield: Baam did handle the lightning spear himself. He froze the drat thing. This is why Ran and Novik are so shocked. You can see it still hanging in the air afterwards.

Hey I just started reading Tower of God and I might sound like an idiot for asking this but what does "Chet" mean? The characters keep saying it and at first I though it was a pretend curse word or something like that but then they actually used cursed words, so I'm stumped on this issue.

I think it's just a general utterance, no specific meaning. Kinda like "tch" or any other onomatopoeia. Bad translators leave it in, even though it's something specific to Korean and doesn't work at all in English.

And you're right; it doesn't work in English when it's left as an onomatopoeia, so it's a bad translation job. 'Hmph' or something similar would work much better than 'chet'. (I read the raws, so now I'm wondering exactly how bad the translation is.)

I'm so loving confused from this. So she's clearly bullshitting about her purpose being to trap and kill Koon, but rather it's to catch Viole. And Koon obviously doesn't recognize Baam/Viole, which is understandable to some extent. So did Baam freeze the guy and take the detonator back and then give it to that psycho? And she's blowing it up to presumably cover their escape? Was Viole telling that girl that he would kill her if she screwed with his friends again?

Koon didn't recognize Baam/Viole because they didn't translate the red box when he speaks to Koon; the red box states that it is changing Baam/Viole's voice. Baam froze the guy and took the detonator back because he is being forced into playing along, and he was under the impression that he could force bunny-ears to not kill Koon. He clearly miscalculated; his threat to bunny-ears simply made her fully worship Baam/Viole as some sort of death god/Anti-Christ. And it's ambiguous right now as to whether bunny-ears's true aim is to kill Koon, or her true aim is to bring in Baam and she blew up the place to cover their tracks, or some combination of the two. I think it's the latter, personally. I mean, why infiltrate Koon's group if they weren't a growing threat that they would try to nip in the bud? And if it brings Baam under their thumb, so much the better.

Well, FUG already was keeping tabs on Baam's old friends as a threat to keep him in line. I think rabbit ears may just be a little on the nuts side, which isn't surprising considering that the foot soldiers of FUG are probably a mix of wannabe yakuza and religious fanatics. I think she just wanted Viole to kill someone to establish his rep as a Big Scary Slayer, and resorted to nuking the whole place when that didn't work out. On the other hand, if this is Karakas' idea of subtlety, he may not be cut out for his line of work. Between bringing Hworang back under FUGs thumb and messing with his mentor's plans for Baam, he's hamfistedly undermined the decisions of two people who are infinitely more important to FUG than the junior Slayer (the other being Headon). On the upside, if Koon doesn't know who Viole is at this point, it would be pretty out of character for him. Hodgepodge fucked around with this message at 19:54 on Feb 3, 2013 |

PFlats posted:Why on earth are people scanning online comics? Am I missing something here? You might be, they're not literally printing out the images and scanning them, it's just from 'scanlation', which refers to the final product of translating a raw chapter of some manga. So it goes: Raw, scanned Manga -> Translation [a text script] -> Scanlation; though more recently there have been series that don't require scanning, such as the Naver comics and Onepunch-Man. And with that, here's the Mangapirate release.

Considering someone just got a hole punched through his chest and is supposedly still alive, I wouldn't bet on Koon dying offscreen. SUI said something on a blog about Rachel being the anti-hero to Baam's hero. That must have been a mistranslation, or maybe he isn't aware that the term implies a sympathetic character.

That must have been a mistranslation, or maybe he isn't aware that the term implies a sympathetic character. I don't think this is the case, while she's certainly been depicted as a lovely person, she's never been an antagonist. Baam doesn't want revenge or to get back at her, he just wants to ask her why she's a huge bitch. In this respect they're not at odds in both being protagonists of the story. I think it's pretty apparent that SIU has bigger plans for her in the later portions of the story, but my opinion is that she serves as sort of a pauper in the King's court. The tower is filled to the brim with monsters and people who are impossibly strong, with Baam, her ticket in, becoming oppressively strong, and herself remaining absolutely powerless. The only power she can exert over others is when they have absolute faith in her [as in Baam], or when they themselves are rendered powerless through some means. [See this chapter.] I don't know if SIU expects his readers to have any sort of empathy for her though, and that might be her biggest flaw as a character. She really needs a lot of development and it's hard to say when she'll get it.

She murdered a helpless man in cold blood because he didn't do what she wanted. How many times does she need to literally stab someone in the back to be considered a villain?
