Hey, where did you go!? Do you really dislike seeing my face that much!?
The way I understood it was Baam is naturally a shinsoo prodigy. But the lobster god was placed in him by fug after part 1 so it didnt have anything to do with the bull.

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.

...on the plus side I'm feeling much more angry now than I expected so this totally helps me get in character.

This is basically what the chapter said. "The only thing I know is that FUG hid it very carefully in the experiment floor and they made a giant 'Water Tank' to take care of it. And the water inside the tank was very peculiar, like how a legendary fish in that tank might grow to be gigantic in size, or your ability to hand shinsoo would be amplifed" And Viole says that while the background to his words is the arena and water area of the final test. And then recall who was taking care of that level at the time. A FUG member, who was known as "Submerged Fish".

The area on the first floor with the White Steel Eel was similar. The translation might just be awkwardly saying that the tank was another area of unusual Shinsoo density.

I guess the lobster thing is an example of what makes Slayers living gods in the eyes of FUG members. I wonder if they are related to the floor guardians? Headon could probably provide that sort of thing, and he seems to be allied with FUG at the very least. (On the other hand, I wouldn't rule out Headon being at the centre of any number of plot twists.)

This scan had some problems as well. But it was tolerable.

Suddenly some pretty big comedy-of-errors type plotting with Koon's team meeting a teammate of Baam's without Baam present. And of course neither even know him by the same name.

Even if they tried describing Baam to the other party it doesn't seem like they would recognize him. The only defining trait from pre-timeskip that still applies to Baam is that he is an irregular, and that isn't something you go telling to complete strangers.

If they figure it out without him being physically present, it will be by describing his personality and the effect it has on people around him. There are only so many shonen protagonists with the Power of Friendship out there.

I'd say it depends on how much SIU wants to draw things out. I could easily see Viole going after Horyang, it's not like there's anything stopping him.

It's been awhile since we actually got to see a little bit of a fight that wasn't completely one-sided. Hopefully it won't take Viole like 5 chapters to actually show up there.

In other ToG news, this is why people should follow the author's blog posts.

Urek Mazino, the head of the Wingtree has been discovered in an album cover of an idol group, so it became topic of conversation among Wingtree members.

It's from the author.

Mangapirates scan is also out.

I love that they're all wearing matching coats for Horyang.

It also seems like Cassano wants to kill Horyang - probably to absorb his half of their weird power thing.

I know im being greedy but I seriously hope Koon meets up with Baam soon. Can it be in a chapter or two? SIU is good about not dragging this sort of stuff out but Ill be seriously annoyed if a bunch of Threes Company Coincidences keeps them from meeting for another 12 chapters.

I'm placing my chips on Koon only knowing Baam in his slayer persona for now.

Arrrgh, every chapter we get closer and closer to Baam and Koon meeting up. This was okay, but it was another setup chapter after the previous chapter was nothing but setup itself.

Well, if the 2nd floor was any indication, they have some way of determining one's aptitude for a role. Given that Koon and Rachel were best seeds for Lightbearers, I assume that part of the criteria to become one is being a huge rear end in a top hat.

edit: If you read the manga on Mangapanda, go read the other version - Panda's was missing pages.

Jesus christ people, lightning.

I was struck by a bolt of lightning. After that, I wore rubber armor around. At first, it was too heavy to walk in, but after some lightening, it worked like a charm.

(I don't know why this bothers me so much.)

Rabbit-ears-girl looks a lot like Rachel. Slightly darker hair, but the right eye color. Maybe she overheard Koon after all?

I'm glad we got to see Koon get his hands dirty again. It's easy to forget why he's the leader with all of these crazy powerhouses running around.

There was the guy from way back when, the one who held Rachel hostage and ended up stabbing himself. I think that's when she was crippled too? My memory is bad.

If you are a masochist you'll find Nomanga's scan here. Site is painfully slow at the moment.
