What I like about this series the most is that they make it clear from practically the very beginning that Baam is one crazy motherfucker. Considering the object of his monomania it's relatively benign, but sometimes he still gets kind of creepy. :stare:

Baam is secretly King Jahad or his son, which explains why princesses can't resist his charms. :v:

So where exactly DID Baam and Lahel come from? Underneath the tower? Why was she out turning over random boulders when she first found them? Considering she seems to have met people other than Baam in her pre-Tower life, why didn't she ever introduce him to them?
He was imprisoned in the cave when he was very young, and Lahel was thrown in some time later. Lahel was old enough at the time that it seems like she should know something about why she was there, but it looks like she never told Baam anything about it.

It may or may not be important depending on whether they're from the outer tower or some completely different world.

EDIT: Also we know they were eating something because Lahel's stomach rumbles in that one part.

I forget; did Baam ever get Black March back? She was cool the one time we saw her.

New Chapter.

Man, I keep forgetting character names in this. Had no idea who a few of the characters were.
I don't know most of the names but at least the designs and personalities are distinctive.

Sleepy Guy, for example, owns.

Also with the other real princess, googly eyes, does being a princess mean she's a ranker as well? How's she doing the test if she is?
No, it seems like princesses are picked before they start climbing the tower. They basically start off as super-regulars.

That stuff is also all on the ToG wikia.

So is the coffee-fanatic proctor male or female? When we first saw her characters definitely used feminine pronouns for her but recently they seem to have switched to masculine ones, like the "guy" in this chapter.

It would be pretty funny if Lahel really is the good guy here, and she did that to escape his insidious mind control and creepy obsession with her.

(It's probably just his Protagonist Field though.)

Pretty sure it was just the name being transcribed into Korean then transliterated back into English. It's not really unusual for the official version of non-Japanese/Korean names to end up fairly different from fan translations' best guesses.

I have to admit I don't get it. Is the picture a reference to something?

It's not like you need to understand any of the technique babble to enjoy either series. Veritas is about everyone being a glorious rear end in a top hat and Breaker is about a guy adding everyone he meets to his murim harem.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that as soon as he took up his fancy guard position with the needle Baam paralyzed him and walked off. It's nice to see that Baam doesn't gently caress around when he can simply cast "I win" instead. :v:

Sorry, ToG guy, but if you want me to care about a character getting murdered you're going to have to put more than zero chapters between telling me their heart-touching backstory and killing them.

I don't know why he's redirecting his betrayal angst toward Zahard, but it definitely seems like something that'll come up in future chapters - I can't imagine we'll get through this part without a flashback at least mentioning his FUG induction.
I always assumed it was because he's still not capable of hating Rachel, so he blames her betrayal on the test system Zahard and the noble families set up.

Maybe he even believes that if he can destroy the system Rachel will come back to him.

Where exactly does it say nobody's ever actually reached the top of the tower? I could have sworn it said all rankers are people who've reached the top.

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.

Yeah, I can't imagine seeing something that huge from outside. Could be in space though, with everyone outside the tower in some sort of sci-fi setting. Honestly I don't think we're ever going to see outside the tower anyway, probably just a bunch of vague comments from other irregulars about what it's like.
The final twist of the story is that it takes place in the same setting as Blame!. :getin:

Oh hey it's that woman.

Also, I absolutely love the establishing shot of floor 21 at the beginning of the chapter. I wish he could draw backgrounds like that all the time, but I guess it must be relatively high-effort compared to the regular art style.

She's the one that attacked Rachel and got her eye shinsooed in half by Baam at the end of the crown game on floor 2.

I remembered that but it's also possible it's just some dude who's really into Wing Tree and not Mazino himself.

-Actually, it can't be him. Mazino has the wing tree tattooed on his shoulder, not across his back, according to the wiki.

And c'mon, getting your own name tattooed across your back would be pretty lame.

Some of the stuff on the wiki does make it sound like Mazino is the kind of guy who'd tattoo his name across his back and then refuse to wear a shirt:

Yuri spoke of him and stated, "He's the best man to fight with, but the worst man to live with."

Yeah, the impression I got was that the water he and Rachel were in when they fought the Bull was extra thick with shinsoo or something because that was also where FUG was hiding the lobster, so just being in it made him more powerful.
