"She should have done the thing she knows would absolutely have killed her." And not doing so makes her bad, somehow???

His point was that if she cared about being the prophesied child as hard as Baam cared about her, she would have stepped into the trial. It would have meant her certain death, yes, as well as Baam's had Yuri not kicked his face in time, but it's more in the fact that she didn't even dare.

EDIT: Also I forgot about Ship/Shibisu, despite his last current appearance not even being that long ago, relatively speaking. He's just an ordinary guy, working the nine-to-five grind, together with his buds Hatz and Anak (and Endorsi I guess? I'm not sure which team she was on, I know it wasn't Baam's because of the dream team of Rak, Baam, and Khun). Same as Rachel, he doesn't have any special powers, he's just a smart dude who actually has friends and uses his intellect to climb the tower and help his teammates. That could be Rachel!!!! But no, she wants to be the special snowflake.

Like, I'm pretty sure Shibisu is actually the weakest member of Baam's circle of friends right now. I don't think he has anything to him other than his wits and brain. At least white haired sword guy has the ability to read the movements of an opponent's sword and counter it. But Shibisu never whines about it.

What Gologle said. How many times are you going to encounter what looks like certain death trying to climb the tower? How many times will that appearance of certain death be a reality? If it didn't happen then, it would have happened later for Rachel and she still would have balked. The only difference here is that instead of having someone like Lero-ro to put her down with just a wall of Shinsu; she got wrapped up in the FUG conspiracy thanks to Head-on.

Could be, I was thinking that her death was a fixed event. And that all of these princes were given nannies that were put on a timer and each of them were being monitored. To better foster the mentality in the princes to seek out Jahad at all costs and compel them upward.

...She did, it just turned out that the 'insanity' was actually 'possession'.

No, I mean when do we finally realize that possession didn't end when the swords got powered down and Yuri is in the middle of a multiple personality disorder.

Yeah. Secret FUG member who loves instant coffee. Also everyone thought he was a girl for like the first 50 chapters. Though he doesn't seem to remember Baam so it's definitely a saved data version of Yu Han Sung from when he was on the Train, presumably.

This whole hidden floor thing is insane. To be clear, Jahad was gifted a mirror that creates a literal alternate dimension using the current state of the person when they entered the room. They found out that the people in the mirror dimensions actually live out their lives so they made it so no one could ever remember where/what the room was. Also, why didn't Rachel get flagged?? Is she not from outside the Tower as well? She's been in the hidden floor before?

I don't know if the quarantine is what happens to people who are from outside the tower, given that it's whining about Baam not having a past (whatever that means). Rachel presumably has a past?

It singled Baam out because he lacks a past, not because he is an Irregular. Now, what that means, we do not yet know.

Here's some wild speculation :

The events between Zahard, Grace, and V happened literally a millennia ago. Baam obviously wasn't in darkness for a millennia, we've seen him grow. Because of that Baam was locked away for all that time dead/in stasis and awaiting reincarnation. The mirror looks into people's pasts and sees everything from their birth to the present. Rachel, Khun, everyone else has been active the entire time. When it looks into Baam's past, though, it sees countless years of nothing at all. The mirror can only assume this means he has no past until incredibly, incredibly recently (his time with Rachel pre-tower).

This reminds of the Neutral ending you get in Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne when you play the game without adhering to a Reason. The system basically goes "Oh, gently caress you!", and then you punch it to death.

Maybe the mirror looks into a persons soul to see their history and Baam has none. Which is why he can absorb anything.

*edit*

Baam has no original soul I mean. He was killed as a baby and them something else got put in, right?

Yeah he was given to a god outside the tower, much time passed, and something happened? And then he came back.

I guess the undead baby irregular that can eat souls and steal abilities should probably be quarantined in this situation. Maybe the error message about not having a past was just a little off. I'm guessing that this is where we learn that Rachel really is the child of prophecy and Baam just shouldn't exist at all.

I would love it if V, Baam's dad, does turn out to be a massive rear end in a top hat. Like, he wasn't hated because every male in Jahad's group apparently had a crush on Grace, he was actually a huge jerk.

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

I'm a week late but this was one of the best chapters visually in a long time. I mean, it was just a bunch of people shouting names in succession which should be really dumb, but it was well-presented.

e: And then the next chapter happened. Man, ToG has been on a roll for months on end now.

Since then the fifth arc ended in a suitably huge and insane fashion but then there was a big time skip and the sixth arc has been a very slow start.
