Not much progress, but Ms. Yeon may finally start using the full power of her flames, which would be cool.

I'm not quite sure how I feel about FUG dude having this chains ability. So far, with the possible exception of unique skills created by Rankers or something, Shinsoo seems to be used in a pretty straightforward manner (you shoot it or turn it into electricty/fire/whatever or block/ride on it). This chains thing makes me think of Hunter X Hunter nen abilities, and while those are really cool in HxH I'd rather people not have a bunch of crazy abilities in Tower of God.

I'm also not sure how much sense it will make for Moontari to beat the FUG spear guy. Previously Baam had to use the Thorn to a dangerous extent to fight him, and it seemed to be implied at the time that Baam was superior to Aka (who is obviously superior to Moontari), or at the very least was superior when using the Thorn.

Shinsoo can be and do literally anything if the user is able to make it do so. The form isn't as "huh?" as the HxH style conditionxcontract that needs more explanation though I imagine it'll be as simple as "Mad Dog". Probably need to read the author notes for the first time in a while.

How did Androssi touch the rankers badge? Where was her own badge?

Her badge is hidden under her skirt, which is why he thought she was wearing red underwear, same color as the badge. She was just about to hit his so I guess he decided to abandon defense so he could grab hers first and win the match, but the thing he grabbed wasn't actually her badge. You can see his badge on her hook right after he says "I was faster".

Even though that result makes perfect sense, that's still a shame; I liked Moontari.

I was not particular interested in angel girl's sad backstory. Curious to see if Baam is stronger in the next chapter; it wasn't really clear on whether his "training" with the guardian guy was making him physically stronger or just making him wiser.


Aka has the most bizarre looking character design. Massive super wide man wearing what looks like a schoolgirl uniform.

So am I correct in thinking that the demon thingy Baam talked with represents the power of the thorn, while the giant flame thing that appeared behind the demon guy (and presumably the power Baam ended up receiving) is something else that is different and I guess far more powerful?

Its the persona that's been directing his combat since hes got the thorn. whether its an independent entity or a dream quest manifestation of himself driven by insecurity and domination is up for grabs. But being its implied that Zahad had undergone the same trial and had failed leans the latter more then the former.

I'm going to guess that Baam will still have trouble with Hoaqin, since otherwise there won't exactly be much tension. I'm also guessing Hoaqin will succeed in absorbing at least one of his "siblings" first, since current Baam could probably beat current him (since Baam was at least able to mostly keep up with him when they fought before).

Also, didn't Baam just effectively let poor Moontari die for no reason? I mean, he ended up having to put forth the (seemingly little) effort to beat spear dude in the end anyways.

My theory about White is that FUG's plan is for White to absorb their father, Arie Hon, and use Arie Hon's Irregular status to kill Zahard.

The only issue with these developments is that I can't imagine that Hoaqin will actually lose. If he loses, then there's pretty much no tension for the rest of this arc and Baam has nothing else he needs to do. Then again, if he wins there's no way Baam will be able to beat someone that is on par with a high ranker.

If Hoaqin successfully merges with his siblings and becomes White, then he's a ranker interfering with a test for Regulars, and Yuri might step in.

Given the end of the chapter they're either going to become a new entity under Vicente or there will be several different amalgamations of the siblings. I'd guess 3.

Guess it's leading to a fight between Baam and a (at least partially) complete Hoaqin, though I can't see how that would work unless Baam is now as strong as a high ranker or something.

While I don't necessarily mind Hoaqin winning and absorbing his brothers, I don't really like the way it was executed. I don't like scenes where a character is pushed into a corner and then goes "heh I actually had the ability to win all along through some previous unmentioned mechnism."

One thing I wasn't totally clear on was what exactly Baam was doing with the pipes. Was he using shinsoo "telekinesis" to forcibly move his section of pipe and connect it with another section of pipe?

Yep, pipe bending. Looks like he spent the last month watching Avatar the Last Airbender.

Given how desperate we've seen Hoaqin is to complete himself you have to wonder why he never used this trump card earlier. There's the obvious explaination of "he didn't expect his siblings to rebel this much" or "using the forced merger stresses his body" but yeah, this definitely feels like a last minute instant-win button the author just gave him.

Yeah, the impression I got was that Hoaqin didn't force a merge, but that Vicente cast the merger spell while Hoaqin was pinned down and was unable to stop it when Hoaqin started gloating about it not being a "Merge people under the caster" spell but a "Merge people under Hoaqin" spell.

One thing I noticed is how much Hoaqin's demon looks like Baam's. So I wonder if it is the same entity that's always trying to use people in the tower for it's own gains or something.
