I powered through this pretty quickly and like it quite a lot. However, I will say that I zoned out a bit during some of the Room test chapters and wasn't really liking the new cast or story direction that much. This sort of thing seems to happen a lot in comics with time skips so it wasn't all that unexpected, but at the very least the re-introduction of Koon and company, even if briefly, has gotten me hooked again.

I'm pretty certain that early on in part 1 they explicitly say that no one has ever been to the top.

So that was the arc, huh? Really liked it, overall the best ToG has been in a long time. It'd be loving sweet if Yuri could hang out with Baam for an extended period of time, maybe follow up to that organization she's supposed to be part of, presumably having Baam and all of his friends/groups join.

I can't say I necessarily got all of that (had to go back and reread the previous chapter because I kept getting "Arlene" and "Anne" mixed up), but what did get through seems to be a fairly decent explanation that I'm glad to have either way.

I fully admit that I don't really understand the tower topology in terms of Inner-Middle-Outer areas on a given floor. Like I get that you could born on the 133rd floor Outer Tower, but you'd still have to go all the way back down to Floor 1 in order to ascend/descend at all from there. But the whole Middle area aspect is just kind of :confused:

I forget, who else besides Khun and Hwaryun know that Baam is an irregular on his own team?

I still giggle thinking about Yuri's little ball/communicator thing (complete with her red spikey hair piece) harassing Endorsi.

Maybe it's just the proximity to the Arlene Grace stuff but it feels like Bam has really come into his own, MC-wise, these days.

It makes more thematic sense I think for Rachel to get a thorn so that she actually sort of matters, and then later on at the end she'll receive a mortal blow so she can give it to Baam to go fight Jahad or whatever in some dramatic scene.

It would also make thematic sense for her to fail miserably as well tho.

Those final few battles sure would've gotten awkward if White did his thing even just a few minutes earlier. I wonder if they'll take care of all that nonsense now or it'll get put off for a big ol' rematch down the line.

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.

This arc is looking rad as gently caress, just like the Floor of Death. Keep it up, ToG.

This week: Khun's tactics/intelligence works both for and against him at the same time, and Baam solves everything so easily it's almost disappointing (but still hilarious).

I was going to say RIP Yura but I guess that was someone else (the big breeder who wanted to be loved by Yura's mother).

Some/many of the plot threads in this thing are hard to keep track of.

It feels like there's too much world building around the 12 months and stuff for it to be close to ending or anything, but considering everything that has happened in Part 2 they could probably cram plenty to wrap it up in a Part 3/Final.

Catching up, but did SIU really just unceremoniously kill off Yeon? That's a bummer. The series has had a bit of a cast bloat for a while so maybe it was necessary but it still feels unwarranted especially when it didn't really feel like her arc was done.
