i think the problem with fug is either baam becomes a true irregular and fug can't touch him or he's hamstrung for the rest of the story to keep fug a threat. baam becoming a true irregular like has been hinted at would be good though

Baam being an irregular along the lines of Urek Mazino wouldn't mean he's untouchable; he might be the equivalent of a regular one or two ranks above his current rank or something, but Rankers would still be able to easily beat him until he reaches, at the very least, the higher parts of the tower.


Uzek marino climbed the tower faster than anyone by a long way so its probably safe to assume that he was probably close to being a ranker either when he started or about where Baam is. Baam is specifically unusual as an irregular in that he isn't insanely powerful from the start. How high someone is doesn't necessarily equate to how strong they are but i'd like to see baam show he's in fact really strong with this new thing because something has to give in the FUG plot

like i don't think baam is about to start curb stomping everyone if only because its not his personality

baam was his first friend even. baam was warned that he'd be betrayed by khun very early on since thats a trait of the family and its funny because i can't remember if that was a FUG warning or whatever or might still be an incredibly long con

baam doesn't know is the whole point. he was trapped in a hole that some girl could get into and talk to him and he followed her into the tower despite not knowing anything

Someone in the comments on Naver theorized a way Baam could win by saving Hoaqin's teammates as well as his own. Ironically enough, though, I'm not sure Baam is altruistic enough to do it. SIU did say that he doesn't consider Viole truly "good."

Baams reaction at the end suggests this is going to happen though. Baam isn't good he's insane particularly about friends and knowing that Hoaqin doesn't give a poo poo means he'll try to save them most likely

Baam is an irregular so him being one of the strongest people in the tower was always a given should he make it to the top

edit: I'm pretty sure the monster thing we saw recently was part of the irregular power

he probably will but the more important bit is he made a sword of shinsu and stole the sword fighting style which he will probably keep. the sword seems to be a big thing since they're usually sort of poo poo in the tower if not held by the very best people

they're still really low in the tower so of course they're weak as poo poo compared to rankers. i hope that ending means baam isn't going to be hung up on rachel and nothing else from now on

he's going to beat jahad whether or not he currently knows it. none of the other irregulars cared but he does about the tower being poo poo

i like that after the warning he got about khun the only person is him because khun also hates the tower

I just remembered that Ha Jinsung is at the station too, and that he already warned Karaka to leave Bam alone.

him showing us the difference between a rank 100+ and a rank 500+ would be interesting

i can't really see karaka winning but i would like to see him beaten by ha jinsung

As if Baam didn't already learn that skill, how to ignite the giant rear end sword, and doesn't already have a copy of the frog ring in 3 different colors

baam makes a shinsu sword instead which nobody else is capable of and steals sword techniques first time

I don't think it was explicitly stated, but the whole issue is that when there's a new irregular in the tower they are quickly snuffed out by Zahard's folks like RED if they aren't powerful enough before coming in (like Urek).

i think irregulars are incredibly rare rather than getting snuffed out early. People simply don't know if someone is an irregular until likely its too late. those in the tower are the 10 families, enryu who killed a guardian, urek and an actual god who won't show up in the story

I don't think he's hiding any power up. I hope he'll always be relatively weak, but that he'll be the glue that holds folks together.

There was a blog post about him recently, will try to find that because the author made a point of highlighting that his weakness is part of what makes his character interesting to write.

he recovered from what should have been a cause of death and other characters commented on it and he's karaka's brother/Jahad's son it seems. even if its not some hidden power up i imagine this will encourage him to be less weak.

this is rachel's first actual kill then?

it makes sense in that jahad can't be killed by inhabitants of the tower and we've yet to see any actual members of his family other than presumably them

i don't think it was really trying to humanise rachel it was just like i said being the first case of her personally killing someone

If that was the first time she personally killed someone, it's only through being incompetent as gently caress. I'm pretty sure she's at least tried to kill a few people on panel, aside from the little boy who followed her into the tower and she tried to kill via fall damage but it didn't take.

Not going to deny that and baam is a bit of a special case

Wangnan being killed in ever more excessive ways while he mysteriously recovers since he's a jahad would be good imo

rachel's is largely different in that she wants to climb the entire tower. most other people just want to climb to the final safe floor
