Guardian: "No souls allowed beyond this point! Anything to declare?" Bam: "Hey those millions of souls aren't mine, I'm keeping them for a friend. Can I get them back?"

the gatekeepers make even less sense than most things in the tower. did they exist before enryu killed the guardian and it became the floor of death or what

Baam nonchalantly giving up his own soul instead of the million extra he has. I actually like it though, he's definitely feeling himself lately especially now that he's just casually throwing out black holes instead of trying any reverse flow control.

His black holes will he his new (casual) signature move that baffles other people, after the reverse flow control and near endless bangs.

To be fair, the reverse flow control baffled people because it was a hard technique that no other regulars at Baam's level could do. But, while still hard, it's no longer completely unheard of at his current level, so it makes sense he'd need a new "WOW HOW'D YOU DO THAT" move.

it was portrayed as totally broken when he did it and swords are generally considered bad on higher floors because they're harder to move in shinsoo. its why people use needles

Often times long standing questions are better off left unanswered, because the mystery is part of the appeal. Although the ToG writing is good enough that time also anticipating to have guessed incorrectly.

I don't like how everything points to Baam being result of some Emily-like ignition weapon experiment, which would mean that fug is behind absolutely everything.

I still think Baam is something different. FUG wishes they could create something that can use shinsu the same way Jahad does.

How could Baam be something created by FUG? He's an irregular, with special rules that no one in FUG could get around. The reason Baam grew up in a cave has been a secret for a long time, I think it's fine that the story is going to give us some reveals, while introducing a new character that would make sense to know some of the secrets of the tower. That Garam knew about The 25th Baam before does make sense, we've seen others who would have inside knowledge give him some sort of support or interest, Jiana Zahard and Po Gustang would seem like other characters that have supported Baam and would know something more about him.

He can perform miraculous feats that nobody can believe, has the power to befriend just about anyone, is way too forgiving of his enemies and 'died' because he trusted the wrong person. Checks out.

In terms of possibilities for Baam, I'm okay with most of the ones that aren't "people inside the Tower created him as part of an ignition weapon experiment or whatever", because that would be super lame. Things I would be okay with: - Baam was created by the Tower itself - Baam is somehow related to some other major figure like Jahad - Baam is just some bizarre entity like Phantaminum (in the sense of just being a weird thing that isn't necessarily related to anything else)

Maybe Baam is an ignition weapon, but created by Jahad's group. Like the 13 month weapons, but a failure that got discarded before they entered the tower? The very first one, perhaps.

I don't think Jahad or any of his group were skilled at making weapons/items; that's why they had that dude I forget the name of make weapons/items for them (and I think that guy made the 13 month weapons). That being said, it's definitely possible for Baam to be some sort of ignition weapon (though a bunch of other stuff is also possible); I just think it would be kinda lame given all the foreshadowing about how bizarre Baam is.

Honestly based on his name I've thought Baam was part of a cycle that is just part of the workings of the Tower for basically as long as we've known about regulars and irregulars.

I think that would make sense; like he's the "night" that comes before the status quo of the tower is changed or something. Though that would sort of indicate that some other major figure who changed the Tower like Jahad or something was the 24th Baam (and from what we understand, it sounds like nothing much happened in the Tower in terms of outsiders influencing it until Jahad and his party).

Oh ya there are definitely problems with it, I just really like it. Plus it opens up the vaguely poetic thing that Rachel cannot see the stars without night coming to the tower

If there was some prophecy about Baam arriving at the tower then that would explain what Yuri Jahad was doing at the first floor of the tower when he opened the door. If you think about how long it takes to move around the tower even for a princess of Jahad and that Yuri seemed to know there would be an irregular entering the tower and get down in time to meet him it should tell you that something is going on that we aren't being told about.

That is possible if you get real nerdy about the lore in TOG, since one if these guys is supposed to be in charge of the "Tower's story": http://towerofgod.wikia.com/wiki/Axis_User I remember reading differently about it before though, that there is an Axis User for the Tower but it's not Phantaminum (which is backed up in the Phantaminum wiki page).

Wish there didn't have to be some mastermind that is orchestrating everything from the shadows. Whether it be Zahard, fug or Headon. But it's a bit inevitable at this point. Just want some cool tower climbing adventures featuring a talking gator.

One thing I'd like to see at some point is what these characters do when big events aren't happening. Like during the time-skips we're just told "they trained and took tests to climb" but I want some more detailed description of that. As big/expansive as the Tower is, we're only ever shown these small little areas near wherever exams are being held (or events like the Workshop Tournament/Hell Train). The entire name-steal station looked like it could fit within several square miles (though I understand that most of each floor is the Outer Tower, rather than the Inner Tower where the exams are held). SIU does a good job of making the Tower seem like this weird, alien/foreign place, but I think he could do more to illustrate the scale of everything.

Yeah I didn't mean that Baam could be an Axis user, but that there could be an Axis user directing Baam/Baam's Story. I just wanted to point out that the current villain in this arc is names 'Joe', and the bad guy in Fury Road is named 'Joe'... Fury Road is incredible thus...
