Do any of these korean webcomics ever get animated?
This series really deserves it, though maybe it should wait until there's more material. An "anime only ending" would be a travesty.

Sure took them a long time to translate such a short chapter. The fight's really cool so far, I'm sure the third throw is when we'll get to see some real crazy stuff, I'm pumped.

That ranker has no idea Baam is an irregular. I'm still not sure if Baam can straight up beat a ranker, but things won't go the way the midget wants.

I'm thinking that Love is being set up as a main character. Or maybe that's wishful thinking?

He's clearly gained respect for Viole/Baam's talent, and making a friend from a highly principled opponent who is too powerful for you to taken them in a fight is a classic martial arts/manga means of gaining a mentor or making a friend.

I'm thinking that Viole will still be holding the flash-drive thing when he gets up.

Also, does anything preclude the younger gray-haired ranker from being the killer?

It seems like it'd be a really easy anime to do filler for as well, given a time skip and the number of floors we didn't see between Baam's arc and Viole's arc.

It's kind of amusing that I can now be grumpy, old man style, about the immature sense of humor of the younger nerds translating my mangahwa.

(Although really I got there with some fan-translation patch of Tales of Phantasia like 10 years ago).

So there's another guy who's scanlating ToG, but is much faster than The Company, he just doesn't clean sound effects and weird text bubbles. I've typically refrained from posting these because they're hosted on image shack, but I've reuploaded them into an imgur album to make it more convenient.

No wonder Yeon thought he was a girl for a while.

Edit: Also, it looks like he translated Lurker as Locker. I kind of prefer Viole and Lurker.

I wonder how he'll translate Rapdevil? Because Rapdevil is a great name.

The Rapdevil twist was foreshadowed by the rule that one member of the team must stay in the room at all times. Who is in Yeon/Viole's room? Does the short robed guy that appeared last chapter count?

Am I think only one who thinks Lurker and Viole make more sense than Locker and Violet? Lurker fits the guy's personality better, and Violet make no sense as a boy's name.

While I don't have much inclination either way with regards to the name translations, do keep in mind that the group using Lurker and Viole turned 'Rachel' into 'Lahel'. I think Viole may be correct (though I'll immediately point out I'm no expert on the matter), because the Korean doesn't have the 't' sound on the end of his name, it's something like 'Bi-ole' if I remember correctly. No clue on Lurker/Locker though.

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.

It is definitely Viole and Lurker, not Violet and Locker.

I have no clue why they translated the names like that (the translator is bad); it's pretty obvious in Korean that those are the names. You're absolutely right in that Viole in Korean has no ending 't' sound. And the Korean words for Lurker has the "uh" modifier in the first syllable, making it "lurker". It most definitely does not have the "ah" modifier that would make it identical to the Korean word for locker...which is 'locker'.

EDIT: Also, I had no clue the translation was using those names, as I read the original.

This chapter, the Devil Hand guy pointed out that you need to have a living teammate in the room. I don't think there's anyone in there that fits the criteria of being on Wang-nan's team as well as being alive, unless the delivery boy didn't actually die.
Which makes me think along these lines:

Something like that yeah. I doubt Wangnan's gonna get disqualified since even if he loses his room he still has a couple more and should have at least one teammate in each.

If you go to Batoto to read the latest chapter, the author's notes at the end tell what to expect in the near future, exciting stuff.

Namely, there are about 3 chapters left in this arc, after which "we'll see the hidden story behind Viole and this test, along with the connection between the story from part 1." And after that characters from Volume 1 will start to return and a few other things.

You might have scripts disabled. It also forces a popup when you full-size them, image shack sucks a bit of dick. I tried to mirror them on imgur when they released, but they 'corrupted' and wouldn't all upload, so I figured it wasn't really worth the effort.
