I still like that loophole honestly.

Human experimentation seems like a really stupid thing to do in this setting because as soon as you get a success Headons just gonna pop up in front of the test subject and be like "Hey kid, wanna climb the tower?"

You can experiment on regulars though. Once they've started to climb the tower, Headon doesn't give a poo poo.

Headon has a quota to meet, every month he needs to send a couple thousand regulars up to climb the tower. So a few strong ones who are training for the tower get in, a few people who lucked into hidden talents, a whole lot who are desperate to do something with their life and then die 10 minutes in.

It took me a while to figure out just what the hell Bam was doing.

Then I remembered the guy teleported with magic arrows and Bam has absorbed that ability now too.

Being a recent arrival who read the webtoons official translation, reading through this thread and the wiki is pretty confusing with all the references to "Lahel", "Androssi", "Zahad", "Lee Soo" and so on when I know them as Rachel, Endorsi, Jahad and Shibisu.

Are these all artifacts of old fan scans that have stuck around from inertia, kinda like the early One Piece fan scans and their butchering of romanization?

That inertia is really freakin strong. I just finished my catchup and I hadnt read it since the Workshop battle and despite seeing "Jahad" written out right in front of my eyes I just straight up kept reading it as Zahard in my mind

I'm hoping the season ends with the push. Just the push and cut to credits, gotta wait for season 2 for the fall and denouement of the test. Then time-skip for the second episode and it'll really mess with the viewers.

It is interesting to me to retroactively think back on how significant this arc wound up being for like the Tower's history in general. Bam's arrival galvanized an entire class of incoming Regulars who for the most part all aligned with his interests afterwards, with pretty much everyone under the umbrellas of either Shibisu or Khun. This of course includes two official/unofficial Jahad princesses (a third if you count Yuri), two 13 Month series exchanging hands, and what had to be one of the most direct and expansive involvements of FUG into a new class of Regulars. Rachel's betrayal also further inspired Khun to seek out power, assistance, and allies he might not have otherwise done for the sake of revenge. In the grand scheme of things it feels like a watershed moment in a epic tale, more so than I feel most inception arcs in longrunning shounen are.

I don't remember and don't want to go looking through the webcomic to find out, when did Khun catch on that Rachel betrayed Bam? Was it immediately or after climbing up the tower a little bit with her?

I recall him figuring it out after the debrief because there was an inconsistency between what the doctor said about Rachel's legs and what Rachel herself was saying. That's why he had Bruce Lee form a separate group to climb the tower while he stuck himself to Rachel and made his own team.

In the anime, Rak has the same voice when he is compressed as he does when he is full-sized, and it's really throwing me. Not at all how it worked in my head.

Tipme posted:

It's better than just hospital records. Rachel passed out after she heard they passed and Bam died. Lero-ro thought, "Ok, this girl has been through a fuckload. I'll be cool and call a doctor to fix her legs while she's passed out."

And the doctor said, "Why the hell did you bother me, she's fine. She should be able to run right now."

And so Lero-ro figured that he should mention that little fact to Khun. (I imagine he was just as pissed as the rest of them would be.)

Quant owns, I bet he could still kick Baam's rear end.

When things are looking tough with Kallavan*, Quant suddenly shows up and beats him up. His strong exploding hand thing means nothing against Quant's lightning speed.

* I haven't read the last few chapters, so this might not be relevant anymore

As tempting as the fastpass is, I feel like it's a trap that would have me paying for it for an indefinite period of time after tasting the forbidden fruit once.

I'm gonna hinge on half a year. Apparently it's not just about recovery but also SIU building up a backlog in case he needs to take a shorter break when he gets back so he can avoid another hiatus.

I was honestly surprised he came back so soon after the Season 2 Finale but I suppose that explains him leaving due to injury. Maybe all this newfound fame and, hopefully, money will get him some assistants or something.

That would be nice in the long run but I don't want to wait half a year before I see Baam's harem grow. SIU doesn;t seem like the kind of person that can take a break like that though. I wonder if he'll be story-boarding with his assistants or something.

The Khun and Bam hug gives me life. I'm glad that Khun, more than everyone else there except probably Rak and Shibisu, understands Bam didn't want to do the thing, but had to for the sake of everything.

And I called it that White immediately sucked up all the souls who died in that explosion last chapter. He's going to be at full power for a few chapters longer it seems.

Shows how much I remember, I thought he fought the white steel eel, same from Baam's first test, instead of the bull. Wondering if they'll show Baam survived at the end or keep it a mystery. Viole being Baam isn't too big of a reveal, especially after the Mule fight, but they could change it up in the anime.

If you binge read all the way up until now, then the parts with Rachel in them should still be fresh in your mind, and imo, she made her stance pretty clear. But, on reflection, I guess it is possible she's carrying around knowledge about Bam that we just don't know yet and that informs and guides a lot of her actions. But so far it really seems like she's just a petty, weak, jealous girl.
