I'm curious how he knows what he was named when Lahel was his first interaction with another person. There is so much unexplained in this story, they're only just about to leave level 2 of 137 or whatever of the regular levels and doesn't Lahel's dream actually require them climbing the rest of the levels that rankers can't climb/aren't allowed to climb?

I'd just like a chapter devoted to actually explaining what the gently caress is going on in the world the series is set in.

For Trace and I think Noblesse I've seen photos of the published volumes.

This whole chapter can be summarized in a single phrase: THAT BITCH

I pray Baam is alive. I pray that this is when he disides to storm this place like a irregular should.

Gurren Laggen style. :kamina:

Same. Baam has been entirely too normal for an irregular.

I'm expecting this to be the catalyst that causes Baam to go crazy and gently caress poo poo up like all of the other irregulars. Especially now that one of the previous irregulars and highest rankers with an organisation that opposes Zahard wants to meet him

I'd say it makes more sense than normal. He spent pretty much his entire life in some pit alone then met Lahel. Now he has met lots of other people so wants some friends whereas they have all been around people before

Well at least its hinted at some direction the series is going, largely with the overthrow of Zahard or something similar. I'm not surprised people want to replace him. Headon is a floor guardian right, not a ranker? I wonder how the floor guardians play into this

For those wondering about a break, I'd imagine it closer to Noblesse than Trace. Noblesse was originally only a month break I think that they ended up cutting down to 2 weeks. Likely just some time off to have a break and get the next part of the story in order.

He's capable of using it without a contract with a floor manager. This is almost certainly going to become a major plot point considering the reason FUG mainly can't overthrow Zahard is because he has the first contracts with all of them

Rachel's betrayal was all designed to hide Baam from Zahard from what I remember though. They needed to have him appear dead so that the rulers wouldn't be aware of another irregular climbing the tower. I would have thought Baam would have been told of this once he'd been recovered after the betrayal took place

Do people think that seeing the sky is climbing the tower as is known or actually climbing to the top? In case anyone hasn't read the notes about it the floors that are climbed typically aren't the whole tower but that the floor guardians above are incredibly powerful and dangerous and don't like people on their floors

To that end, if someone wildly reckless and pathetically weak like Wangnan doesn't die in the world of this manga, then who will?

To add to that living in the tower in most places is generally extremely lovely.

I can only hope the absolutely horrible pacing is him using a bunch of fights to allow him to plan out more of the games that let them go up the tower

Its worth remembering that the top of the tower that rankers get to isn't actually the true top of the tower, just as far as the guardians were friendly. Baam being an irregular with the thorn could mean the story will involve everything above what the rankers get to

Is that stated somewhere in the story because I genuinely thought that "Ranker = someone who's been to the very top". That's why when certain rankers (Baseball boy, that one easily-provoked tester from way back when) seem comparatively weak it didn't make much sense to me.

The difference in strength is easy enough, its just the difference between someone who barely succeeded in climbing the tower and someone who never had any trouble. I'm not sure its ever been explicitly stated in the chapters, but they used to/do have a bunch of info text that came after chapters that wasn't always translated

The "reunion" that's happening right now should liven things a bit hopefully, but yeah I agree, suuuper boring stuff.

Baam struggling against rankers is one thing but all the previous irregulars have made short work of the tower and he should really be much stronger than the regulars

Lyon posted:

I thought, based on the blog posts, that Irregulars were people who entered the Tower through their own power rather than being chosen by the Tower (or being born there I guess). This gives them certain Irregular abilities which sounded primarily like not being as bound by the Tower's rules. It also seems to mean they are exceptional in some way (whether their power is developed or not) since they basically forced their way into the tower.

Irregulars can use shinsoo and I'm sure other things without requiring the floor guardians permission which is what makes them dangerous. Everyone born in the tower has to follow the rules so Zahard can't be harmed

I feel its about time Bam finally becomes ludicrously powerful like the other irregulars but I suppose it kind of messes with the story if he's that much more of a monster than the regulars

Baam's climbing of the tower is at a pace for a reason.

The real question is whether or not the other irregulars have shinsoo manipulation to the level baam has in that it appears living. Baam's weird situation before he entered the tower and being the main story does suggest he might be a creation of the tower

i think most slayers are just for killing family heads, it only requires an irregular to kill zahard. which of course is still dumb they're potentially killing the only irregular they have control over assuming hwa ryun isn't part of fug

its odd that rachel being an irregular seems to be completely ignored since baam isn't exactly quiet about his relationship

while most irregulars are insanely powerful the real reason fug are interested is because they're the only people capable providing the killing blow. there is nothing to say rachel would be useless properly trained

there is clearly something special about baam which is why he's different and also why rachel was able to get into the tower

i really want a picture of the tower from the outside of wherever it is due to its stupid size

That said, the only thing we know about the "outside" are the bits we've seen from before the gate was opened...and that's not much. Does society even exist outside the tower?

most likely since a large group of people were the first outsiders to climb the tower.

i'm glad we're seeing more of the people who were inside the tower from the start though

Because we're thankfully getting the actual comics now instead of whatever's early-submitted. Way less missing panels this way when comparing to the primary naver releases and if they're still getting the early submission work to start translating from it might give them more time to proof better too.

i meant the official releases, they've all started coming out the next day recently as i'm in the UK

I'm somewhat ambivalent towards Rachel right now. She's such a huge part of Baam's motivations that without her I feel like he'd probably lose most if not all motivation to keep climbing. But at the same time it's rather annoying to see her continue on given how weak she is. I wouldn't mind it if she died but it would become rather messy since FUG would target actual interesting characters in order to force Baam to accomplish their goals.

uzek marino owning some fug people to leave baam alone would let him continue climbing without their presence and i don't think ToG would be worse off for fug not interfering with baam
