“Militer secara fisik melelahkan, tetapi di situlah saya mendapatkan ide dan menggambar banyak dari pekerjaan saya. Tower Of God adalah salah satu proyek yang dibuat di sana. Saya mulai dengan membuat gambar seorang anak laki-laki berdiri di depan menara raksasa. Sayangnya untuk Bam, sebagian besar ide saya adalah tentang seorang anak laki-laki yang menghadapi rintangan yang mustahil atau seorang anak laki-laki yang tidak pernah bisa menang dalam situasi yang mustahil. Saya berpikir tentang betapa menariknya melihat seorang anak laki-laki berhasil mengalahkan dan mengatasi situasi-situasi itu di dunia yang begitu brutal. Itulah sebabnya dunia dan kekuatan para penjahat sangat luar biasa sejak awal.”Dengan demikian, S.I.U. sudah memiliki cerita dan karakter Tower Of God yang direncanakan bertahun-tahun sebelumnya. Secara teknis, cerita diatur di alam semesta Talse Uzer Story, yang seharusnya menjadi satu set cerita yang saling berhubungan dengan protagonis yang berbeda, meskipun S.I.U. belum menerbitkan spin-off atau cerita sampingan apa pun. Tak perlu dikatakan lagi, ending Tower Of God tidak akan muncul dalam waktu dekat. Manhwa dibagi menjadi beberapa”musim”atau bagian, dengan manhwa Tower Of God Musim 2 terdiri dari bab 80 hingga 417. Bab baru dirilis secara online setiap minggu setiap hari Minggu dalam waktu Korea di platform Naver Webtoon. Terjemahan bahasa Inggris resmi dirilis pada hari Senin di Line Webtoons. Bahasa Inggris Tower Of God manhwa pada dasarnya gratis karena tidak diperlukan layanan berlangganan untuk membacanya. Pengumuman hiatus Webtoon Menara Dewa oleh SIU. Sumber foto: SIU/Naver Webtoon Hiatus Tower of God dimulai pada Juni 2020 karena masalah kesehatan SIU Saat pertama kali tayang pada tahun 2020, manhwa Tower Of God Season 3 (Part 3) masih berlangsung dan sudah sampai Chapter 485 per 29 Juni 2020. Sayangnya, chapter selanjutnya harus menunggu lama karena tanggal rilis Tower of God Chapter 486 tidak terjadi hingga 17 Mei 2021. Dengan rilis Bab 485, SIU mengumumkan bahwa ia akan hiatus tanpa batas waktu karena”alasan kesehatan”. Pada bulan September 2020, SIU memberikan pembaruan di mana dia menggambarkan bagaimana dia “menjalani kehidupan normal” dan masih mengerjakan manuskrip, “tetapi beban kerja ini jauh lebih sedikit dibandingkan ketika saya aktif” bekerja di ToG Webtoon. Dia bilang dia sedang mengerjakan beberapa draf tetapi”proses pembuatan bab baru telah tertunda”. “Diuji lagi selama beberapa minggu dan menemukan kelainan lain,”tulis SIU. “Saya telah didiagnosis memiliki masalah, dan jika dibiarkan tanpa pengawasan, hal itu dapat menyebabkan rasa sakit dan ketidaknyamanan seumur hidup baik dalam pekerjaan maupun dalam kehidupan sehari-hari.” Berdasarkan perintah dokter, SIU berfokus pada istirahat. Hiatus yang lama diperlukan untuk mencegah deformasi tubuhnya dan kembali normal Adapun berapa lama hiatus Tower of God akan bertahan, SIU awalnya menulis, “Saya tidak tahu berapa lama lagi. itu akan memakan waktu, tetapi saya akan beristirahat dengan baik, dan saya akan kembali ketika saya siap dan waktunya tepat.” Kembalinya Webtoon tidak dikonfirmasi sampai setengah tahun kemudian. Silakan lihat cerita lengkapnya di hiatus Tower of God untuk detail lebih lanjut. Mulai 28 November 2021, manhwa sudah mencapai Bab 512. Bagian 3 masih belum selesai. Pada November 2019, dua volume fisik dirilis di Korea. Volume 2 berisi hingga Bab 21. Kredit foto: S.I.U. Webtoon Tower of God dibandingkan dengan season pertama animenya Saat membandingkan anime Tower Of God dengan manhwa, perubahan terbesar pada pandangan pertama adalah pada gaya seninya. Karya seni S.I.U. jelas menonjol dibandingkan dengan banyak seniman manga Jepang, yang cenderung mengikuti tren industri tertentu. Adaptasi anime mempertahankan elemen gaya S.I.U, dengan beberapa perubahan menjadi lebih baik. Sebagai contoh, anime sangat berkembang pada detail di latar belakang, yang umumnya terbatas di manhwa dengan pengecualian panel tertentu. Tetapi beberapa perubahan artistik kontroversial, terutama perubahan pada Black March. Dalam manhwa, Black March secara khusus terdaftar sebagai jarum, yang merupakan senjata unik untuk seri jenis ini, tetapi anime mengubah senjata tersebut menjadi katana generik. April Hijau juga dibuat lebih seperti pedang meskipun memiliki kemampuan untuk berubah bentuk dan memanjang. Perubahan tampilan hanya masalah besar karena pendekar pedang di menara tidak dapat menggunakan pedang dengan permukaan gesekan tinggi karena Shinsu sangat tebal. Selanjutnya, pembaca Tower of God Webtoon akan melihat bagaimana animenya. episode cepat dibandingkan. Anime ini mengadaptasi rata-rata enam bab per episode untuk mencapai titik perhentian terbaik pertama dalam seri manhwa. Untuk mencapai tujuan ini, motivasi dan interaksi karakter utama berubah secara signifikan. Bahkan beberapa adegan pengembangan karakter utama dilewati oleh anime, terutama di paruh kedua. Anime ini berfokus pada membangun tema Bam dan Rachel, yang seharusnya membuat akhir musim pertama lebih berdampak bagi penonton anime saja, tetapi hal itu dilakukan dengan mengorbankan kedalaman karakter lain. Agar adil, dengan adaptasi anime pada umumnya, seringkali tidak dapat dihindari bahwa eksposisi diringkas agar sesuai dengan cerita mandiri dengan titik henti yang baik menjadi satu”cour”yang hanya terdiri dari 13 episode. Anime Cautious Hero adalah pengecualian utama dari aturan umum itu, tetapi hanya karena titik pemberhentian terbaik adalah akhir dari novel ringan Volume 2 (banyak adaptasi anime dari novel ringan akan mengadaptasi 3 hingga 6 buku per musim). Dalam kasus anime Tower Of God, episode pembuka diadaptasi hingga Bam, Rak Wraithraiser, dan Khun Arguero Agnis pertama kali bertemu di pertengahan Bab 6. Karakterisasi dan motivasi pembukaan berubah secara signifikan karena tempo anime yang terburu-buru. Dialog manhwa termasuk humor tambahan dan memberikan wawasan tentang gejolak batin, tetapi perubahan terbesar adalah dalam nada dan konteks pertemuan pertama Bam dan Yuri. Putri Yuri juga lebih banyak berinteraksi dengan Administrator Headon di bab-bab sebelumnya, yang juga lebih menjelaskan mengapa Putri Yuri begitu tertarik pada Bam. Manhwa memiliki adegan panjang di mana Yuri dan Rank-A Guide Evan membahas bagaimana mereka mencari Irregular yang berhasil membuka paksa pintu menara. Irregular dikenal sebagai makhluk yang membawa kekacauan dan perubahan besar pada menara. Tindakan licik Headon juga menjadi lebih jelas di akhir bab ketika dia berbicara dengan keras kepada orang yang tidak dikenal setelah tes pertama Bam selesai. Anime melewatkan urutan yang sangat singkat ini, yang membuatnya tampak seperti jika tindakan Headon didasarkan pada imajinasi daripada kelicikan. Sebaliknya, di anime, Headon hanya berkomentar, “Sungguh pertemuan yang menarik,” dan kemudian melanjutkan untuk membunuh Belut Baja Putih dengan cara yang tampaknya dengki, yang tidak pernah terjadi di manhwa. Awalnya interaksi antara Bam dan Black March juga menyoroti motivasi awal Bam untuk memanjat menara. Awalnya, roh senjata itu lebih tomboy dalam penampilan dan bertanya apa yang sedang dikejar Bam. Jawaban Bam menegaskan bahwa kesepiannya yang mendalam adalah faktor, bukan karena dia mengikuti Rachel hanya karena dia perempuan, yang merupakan persepsi yang disampaikan oleh anime. “Anak laki-laki itu naik. Apa yang akan kamu lakukan sekarang, nona?” Headon berkata keras-keras setelah Bam, Yuri, dan Evan pergi. Pernyataan sederhana ini memperjelas di muka bahwa sesuatu yang lebih sedang terjadi, tetapi penonton tidak tahu dengan siapa Headon berbicara sampai akhir Tower Of God Musim 1. Kredit foto: S.I.U. Peringatan: Berikut ini berisi spoiler besar yang berkaitan dengan akhir Tower Of God Musim 1. Episode 2 mengadaptasi Bab 7 hingga 11 dan dengan setia mengadaptasi akhir dari yang pertama tes tetapi melewatkan banyak olok-olok antara tim Reguler lainnya. Selama tes Lero Ro menggunakan dinding Shinsu, di anime baik Bam dan Ranker menebak pada saat yang sama Anak akan melewati penghalang terlebih dahulu, tetapi di manhwa, Bam memutuskan untuk membuat pilihan yang sama setelah merenungkan dan memperhatikan aura di sekitar Anak. Jahad. (Pengamat yang tajam mungkin menyadari sekarang bahwa di episode pertama Bam melawan Belut Baja Putih raksasa dalam sebuah tangki yang diisi dengan Shinsu yang sangat terkonsentrasi.) Anime juga melewatkan nama-menjatuhkan karakter seperti Urek Mazino, Phantaminum, dan Enryu. Tapi karena Irregular yang kuat ini tidak muncul sampai banyak bab/episode kemudian, itu bukan masalah besar. Episode 3 mengadaptasi Bab 11 hingga 15. Bab manhwa hampir sama, meskipun anime sangat kental bagaimana tim lain lulus tes pintu. Anime ini juga membodohi pria olahragawan Ship Leesoo sementara manhwa menunjukkannya dengan cerdas menggunakan logika yang sempurna. Anime juga memotong lelucon tentang Hansung Yu, teh, dan kopi instan. Semoga lelucon tentang “Soda Man” Quant tetap dipertahankan. Episode 4 mengadaptasi Bab 16 hingga 21. Bisa dibilang, koreografi adegan pertarungan jauh lebih ditingkatkan oleh anime. Masalah besar adalah anime menambahkan perubahan baris yang menggoda motivasi Rachel jauh lebih awal dari yang seharusnya terungkap. Episode 5 membuat berbagai perubahan pada Bab 22 hingga 26, melewatkan adegan kecil dengan Lady Yuri yang menyebutkan belut baja putih dan karakter Tower Of God Season 2 bernama Evankhell. Tapi perbedaan terbesar adalah perubahan bagaimana Bam secara tidak sadar mengendalikan Shinsu untuk memecahkan topeng Hwa Ryun dan melukai wajahnya. Di Webtoon Menara Dewa, Bam hanya melepaskan sedikit Shinsu, bukan ledakan kekuatan yang menguasai arena. Sementara perubahan ini memungkinkan anime untuk lebih jelas menetapkan bagaimana Bam adalah ancaman nyata bagi menara seperti yang didiskusikan oleh Mr. Lero Ro dan direktur pengujian Hansung Yu, perubahan itu juga mengungkapkan kekuatan Bam terlalu dini. Episode 6 mengadaptasi Bab 27 hingga 33 dengan sangat memadatkan eksposisi, tapi setidaknya itu tidak melewatkan detail penting (walaupun tombak Rak meleset dari sasaran dan percakapan yang lebih panjang antara”pendekar pedang seppuku”Hatz dan”anting-anting”Khun itu lucu). Yang penting adalah bahwa Bam baru saja melepaskan serangan Shinsu yang mencolok di episode sebelumnya tanpa memiliki kontrak dengan administrator, yang kontradiktif. Pada saat yang sama, administrator mencatat bagaimana kontrak bekerja sebagai belenggu dalam kasus Bam, yang menjelaskan mengapa semua orang tetap menganggapnya lemah. Episode 7 mengadaptasi Bab 34 hingga 37. Bisa dibilang, ibu Anaak datang lebih dangkal di Tower of God Webtoon berdasarkan motivasinya untuk terus-menerus berdebat dengan suaminya. Anime tersebut juga menyiratkan bahwa Endorsi secara pribadi mengenal sang ibu, yang akan menciptakan masalah kontinuitas berdasarkan perbedaan usia yang jelas. Selain itu, hubungan Endorsi dan Anaak berkembang dengan cara yang sama. Yang berbeda adalah bagaimana Bam berteman dengan Endorsi karena di Webtoon dia mengikuti naskah Khun yang memintanya untuk bertindak lebih tidak berperasaan. Namun, versi Webtoon jauh lebih lucu karena Bam menggunakan perangkat platform untuk menyembunyikan makanan dari Endorsi. Pelajaran Pengontrol Gelombang Bam juga dikurangi. Webtoon tersebut menyoroti bagaimana Bam dapat menghasilkan Bang dan sedang belajar bagaimana mengontrol Shinsu dengan kecepatan luar biasa, yang menjelaskan dengan lebih baik mengapa Hoh begitu cemburu. Satu perubahan besar lainnya adalah bahwa Webtoon Bab 35 menunjukkan konten lengkapnya. dari surat yang dikirim Khun ke Hoh. Surat itu tidak hanya menggambarkan pengkhianatan Hoh yang akan datang seperti di anime, tetapi juga menggambarkan motivasi bagaimana dan mengapa Hoh harus membuat Bam gagal dalam ujian petak umpet. Anime mengubah penampilan dari petak umpet zona menjadi lebih bergaya. Faktanya, seluruh tata letak benar-benar berbeda yang memengaruhi cara adegan pertarungan dimainkan. Aturan mainnya juga tidak dijelaskan dengan jelas, juga tidak ada elemen suspendium yang diperkenalkan untuk mercusuar, meskipun itu tidak mempengaruhi cerita sama sekali. Yang sangat berubah adalah interaksi karakter dan dialognya. selama pengujian di Episode 7 dan Episode 8, yang mengadaptasi Bab 38 hingga 43 (sebagian besar dialog dari Bab 42 dipotong sepenuhnya). Quant menghabiskan lebih banyak waktu memainkan peran sebagai guru yang arogan daripada dengan marah melibas jalannya melalui para pelanggan tetap. Dan arogansinya menyebabkan Lero Ro dan Yu menertawakannya saat dia membuat pernyataan yang terlalu sombong. Adegan di mana Anaak mencoba mencuri lencana Quant awalnya menggunakan sistem katrol Khun yang dipotong dari episode sebelumnya, jadi dia menggunakan Green April, sebagai gantinya. Quant juga memberi mereka 111 detik untuk berlari daripada 32 menit dan 13 detik. Katrol berbasis suspendium Khun juga lebih jelas dijelaskan ketika Khun dan Anaak menipu Quant untuk melompat dari jembatan. Episode 9 dimulai dengan mengubah nada dan tindakan yang diambil selama pertarungan Hatz dan Quant, meskipun cara pria tombak mengkhianati Hatz tetap sama. Cerita belakang Endorsi diubah untuk membuatnya seolah-olah dia tiba-tiba membantai saudara perempuan angkatnya suatu hari daripada perlahan-lahan memukuli kakak-kakaknya untuk mengambil kursi depan yang didambakan. Itu juga tersirat bahwa dia membunuh mereka sedangkan anime menunjukkan mayat tergeletak di sekitar meja makan. Anime mengubah konfrontasi di mana Endorsi mencoba meyakinkan Bam bahwa dia perlu melukai orang lain untuk memanjat tebing. menara. Dia mengklaim bahwa Bam harus menyerah untuk mengikuti Rachel dan menemukan kebahagiaannya sendiri (nasihat terbaik yang pernah ada, kan?). Anime juga memotong garis epik di mana orang-orang lain menyatakan, “Dia dicampakkan ,” ketika Bam menolak untuk mengindahkan kata-kata Endorsi dan berjalan pergi. Kalimat hebat lainnya dari Quant adalah, “Meskipun masih kecil, dia adalah bayi harimau. Dia tidak bisa berlari dengan kucing rumahan,” mengacu pada Bam. Sudahlah, mengapa memotong kalimat Endorsi di mana dia berkata, “Apa, apakah kamu mengumpulkan semua bola naga atau semacamnya?” Yang terpenting, anime ini kehilangan kutipan dari Bam yang sepenuhnya mengungkapkan perasaannya.
“Saya tidak mengerti sama sekali. Mengapa kita harus berjuang meskipun kita tidak saling membenci? Saya tidak mengerti. Anda benar Endorsi, saya tidak cukup keras untuk memanjat menara dengan menyakiti orang lain. Saya tidak mampu melakukannya. Orang-orang ini, mereka adalah grup pertama yang saya sebut teman. Segala sesuatu yang berharga bagi saya ada di sini. Jika kita mencapai puncak setelah melangkahi teman-teman kita, apa yang tersisa bagi kita di puncak? Apakah bintang-bintang itu begitu indah? Mengapa mereka mengatakan bahwa sesuatu yang belum pernah mereka lihat lebih cantik daripada yang mereka miliki? Saya tidak mengerti. Saya tidak ingin menyakiti teman-teman saya atas hal-hal seperti itu. Jika saya harus berkelahi, saya tidak ingin menyakiti teman-teman saya karena hal-hal seperti itu.”Yang membuat perubahan ini begitu aneh adalah animenya menambahkan adegan komedi ekstra dengan Rak makan cokelat. Rak bahkan tidak ada di salah satu bab ini, jadi mengecewakan bahwa dialog hebat seperti itu menghantam lantai ruang potong hanya untuk menambahkan lelucon Rak yang terlalu banyak dimainkan. Omong-omong lelucon Rak, buaya memiliki garis besar dari Tower Of God Episode 10 yang dipotong. Kredit foto: S.I.U. Situasi dua sandera disederhanakan di anime. Ketika Quant membekukan Bam menggunakan Shinsu Quant hanya menyarankan agar Bam menggunakan teknik yang sama untuk mengalihkan perhatian. Quant wasn’t seriously expecting Bam to instantly duplicate the Shinsu move since it had taken him hundreds of years to master, so it was quite shocking to Quant when Bam revealed just how much of a monster he really is. What’s not too surprising is that certain character-developing details were skimmed in the anime since Episode 9 was covering more ground than usual. The episode even skipped a quick scene showing Yuri Jahad taking the long way to avoid Evankhell. The episode adapted eight chapters, finishing with Chapter 51. The faster pacing continued in Episode 10, which covered Chapters 52 through 59. The anime made great changes to character motivations, especially to Khun and how everyone else treated Bam once he revealed himself as an Irregular. In the Webtoon version, Khun revealed to mini-Rak his back story regarding his sister Maria and how that explained his motivations toward Bam and Rachel. Khun grew up in a main family always fighting for power and position, but he helped Maria become a Jahad princess at the king’s side since he thought that would bring his sister happiness. But since that day something has been missing from his heart and he’s tried to fill that void by helping Bam. That realization is a major development since it forms the basis for a personal goal that Khun sets for himself in Tower Of God Season 2. At Bam’s behest, Khun also talked with Lero Ro in order to convince him to allow Rachel/Michelle Light to take the next test (this is the same discussion shown in the anime where Khun learned of the administrator test). In the process, Khun revealed how he tricked Hoh with his strategy, which was far, far more convoluted than what was depicted by the anime since Khun also claimed to Lero Ro that the note to Hoh came from a Ranker (it was actually Director Hansung Yu). The scene also had a flashback involving Hwa Ryun that was skipped by the anime. It wasn’t only Khun’s motivations that were mangled. In the anime, everyone was friendly to Bam so they were willing to overlook him being an Irregular and help him and Rachel climb the tower. (To be fair, Webtoon Chapter 59, which was mostly skipped by the anime, used a montage to show Bam bonding with everyone as friends, but this was after they made the decision to help him, not before.) But in the manhwa, Khun tricked everyone into helping Bam and Rachel by making them turn on himself by claiming that he couldn’t trust an irregular and didn’t want to risk losing his family name. No one wanted to agree with someone who would betray their friend so all decided to help Bam. Rak and Shibisu knew Khun better but didn’t expose his mind games, whereas in the anime, it was blatantly stated that everyone realized Khun was just acting to help his friend. This change also meant that the anime skipped Rak’s speech where he said, “You stupid turtles… All of you are cowering in your shells with fear. That’s why you’re nothing more than a turtle. You’re too scared to lift your heads up. I’m following him. I’m not afraid of the consequences. I don’t want to lose my prey. You all stay and live with your heads stuck inside your shells.” Later on, Rak comes back and tells Khun he knew what was really going on by saying, “I’m the only crocodile who knows what’s inside the shell. You sneaky turtle.” It’s moments like these when Rak finally explained his turtle metaphor that made readers realize that Rak is not a one-dimensional comedic character and yet the anime stripped it out so Rak could eat more chocolate. Since the anime made this change, the anime skipped a similar scene in Chapter 61 (which should have been part of Episode 11) where Shibisu discussed Khun’s true motives. Shibisu also explained that he envied Bam a little but he still wanted to help Bam since he still has what everyone else lost before entering the tower. Shibisu didn’t want to continue the cycle of people taking away from others just because they had something important taken from them first. The anime Episode 10 also skipped a scene where Bam explained to Endorsi more fully why he was intent on making friends and helping Rachel. Bam was born into a world without light and he stacked stones to make a tower so he could reach a point of light on the ceiling. When he reached the light he realized he was trapped and was devastated, but then the ceiling moved and Rachel was the “only person who came down to me from the light”. Another skipped scene had Lero Ro and Hansung Yu discussing how Phantaminum invaded Jahad castle and slaughtered the best of the Rankers. Then the Irregular Urek Mazino appeared and this monster formed the Wolhaiksong, a group that even the 10 great families fear. These two events caused the Regular testing on Evankhell’s floor to be modified to weed out threats to King Jahad’s control of the tower. “We say we are testing their talent to see if they are worthy,” Hansung Yu said. “But the real purpose is to keep the tower from chaos. In other words, this [floor] is the seawall to prevent the tsunami that can shake the tower.” In response, Lero Ro said, “Is it helpful to the tower to sort out those who might be dangerous to the rulers of the tower? A sea without waves is no longer a sea. It’s just a pond, isn’t it? So rather than facing a slow decay, isn’t it better to live fighting the waves?” Needless to say, Tower Of God Webtoon fans have not been happy with these particular changes. It’s especially odd to skip such major character moments only to spend time developing minor side characters like Serena by giving her a big sendoff scene (which didn’t happen in the Webtoon). On the other, the anime added good original scenes like Bam setting up Hoh’s funeral and a new Rachel and Bam scene makes her more empathetic which sets up the upcoming big twist. Episode 11 adapted Chapters 59 through 67 by completely changing the presentation style and greatly condensing action events. Out of the events that were shown, the anime’s depiction was completely linear timewise whereas the Webtoon often switched back and forth between current events and flashbacks of the test’s explanation. One big change with lasting repercussions is that while Bam and Endorsi were training they promised to go on a date together. The anime has fundamentally altered their relationship by stripping out similar relationship-building moments between the two characters, so it’ll be odd if Tower Of God Season 2 still has Endorsi upset about missing her date with her “boyfriend”. These chapters were filled with jokes yet only some made it into the anime. One example is when Shibisu tried kicking the Bull between the legs only to discover the monster was not a guy. The dialogue for the comedic arguing between Anaak and Endorsi was simplified in the anime with a quick animation of them lashing out at each other. Another change was that Lo Po Bia Ren (the fluffy Yuga imposter) flat-out said in the Webtoon that he killed Anaak’s mother, while the anime simply implied that Ren was the assassin. “I’m amazed that I can see your mother in you when she died in front of my eyes,” Ren said. And when Anaak demanded to know where he got the jeweled necklace he replied, “I just told you. I’m not your friend. It was me. I killed your mother.” The fight between Ren and Anaak was greatly shortened in the anime. Ren teased Anaak with some of his abilities before getting serious and Anaak even used the ignition ability of the Green April. Otherwise, a relatively minor change was that director Hansung created the test whereas in the Webtoon it was the administrator, which meant that that the administrator orchestrated events. The fact that the administrator was conducting the test, and thus was in on the plan, wasn’t made clear until the next episode. But even then the anime made changes which diminished this revelation. Original art featuring Hime with the Tower of God anime characters. Pic credit: Crunchyroll Tower Of God Episode 12 began by adapting the second half of Chapter 67 when Princess Yuri Jahad finally caught up with everyone. But the scene with Rak jumping onto a worm with Pickles in hand came from an earlier chapter. Another relationship-building scene between Endorsi and Bam was skipped. In the Webtoon, the scene occurred right before Endorsi decided to side with Anaak, so the missing scene showed another part of the reason why Endorsi felt led to help her “sister” fight Ren. Lauroe’s perfect nap scene was originally interrupted by some test intruders, including Ms. Ice Strawberry. They came in with defected Khun family member Hatzling “Blueberry” Khun, who wears the badge of the winged tree as part of Urek’s organization. In the Webtoon, Blueberry took over the lighthouse (an act which ties into Tower Of God Season 2) instead of teasing Khun about Maria (which doesn’t make sense in the overall context). Using the pilfered controls, Blueberry also spoke to multiple people and it’s made more clear they’re all part of Yuri’s team rather than Blueberry being a lone interloper. Ren’s “death” by Kurdan’s hammer was slightly different in that Ren was pummeled repeatedly. The anime didn’t make it clear that Ren isn’t really dead. Instead, Kurdan just flattened one of Ren’s many skins and his real body was far away. Yuri was originally planning on intervening to save Bam from the Bull but then Evan stopped her. Having just spoken to Director Yu, Evan reveals that the floor administrator had orchestrated the assassin Ren and Yuri’s intervention as part of the test. Evan implored Yuri to trust that Bam could finish the test on his own. Undecided, Yuri asked Enorsi if Bam could survive and she replied, “Bam will survive because I told him that I’d date him if he comes back alive.” At this point, it seems obvious that the anime’s story writers are not shipping Bam x Endorsi. When Yuri asked the others to pass a message to Bam, she specifically said that Urek Mazino was waiting for him on Floor 77 when Bam becomes a Ranker. The winged tree badge she threw is the symbol for Urek’s organization. The episode skipped almost the entirety of Chapter 73 with the exception of the Bull’s attack at the end. The skipped scene begins to tell the reasons for Rache’s motivation and why she wanted to see the stars so it’ll likely be incorporated into Tower Of God Episode 13. Bam’s fight with the Bull was modified since the anime didn’t show him stopping time or how he was limited to using one Baang, which meant he couldn’t defend and attack at the same time. The scene also didn’t show his internal monologue where he finally made the decision to step up. “I can’t just sit and wait for someone’s help,” Bam thought in Chapter 74. “I can’t be the boy who waited for Rachel in the cave…!” The anime fight finished in a more dramatic fashion. In the anime, Bam was swallowed by the Bull which harkened back to his encounter with the steel eel in Episode 1. In the Webtoon, the Bull wrapped its jaws around the protecting Shinsu ball and Bam sent a concentrated blast of power down its throat. Episode 12 ended with Chapter 74. Rachel’s betrayal was handled in a poignant manner with the ED theme song music playing in the background. The only negative is that the fall doesn’t appear to be fatal in the anime since he’s just floating in the water whereas the Webtoon makes it obvious Bam is intended to die. Tower Of God Episode 13 ended by adapting only four chapters, so most of the narrative focused on providing additional perspective on Rachel’s motivations. While the anime original content helped humanize Rachel a little bit by giving insights into her character, she still comes off as a confusing mess rather than an intriguing figure. But that’s to expected since the missing pieces of the puzzle are not explained until later in the Webtoon. While an improvement on the source in some ways, the anime’s finale skipped an iconic scene between Hwa Ryun and Rachel. There was also a scene about Rachel being afraid of the night and Bam having lost his star that relied on knowing that Baam’s name literally translates as “night”, but rather than explain this context the anime skipped the scene. Aw snap, Bam just got Arifureta-ed! Rachel’s betrayal in Episode 12 will probably be considered one of the most iconic moments in any anime, especially since the adaptation made certain to portray their relationship so wholesome that it hurts. Pic credit: S.I.U. All in all, Tower Of God Episode 13 ended with Chapter 78 and finished the first season of the Webtoon series. It’s the best stopping point for the anime, which means that the Tower Of God Season 2 anime will also pick up with the story with Season 2/Part 2 of the manhwa. The good news is that there is plenty of source material for Tower Of God Season 2. In fact, the manhwa’s second part is so long that it’ll likely take at least several anime seasons (or multiple cours) to adapt completely. Considering that the next best stopping point is Chapter 189, the ending of the Workshop Battle story arc, it’s possible that the Tower Of God Season 2 anime could be a two-cour anime season in order to adapt 110 chapters. The Tower Of God Season 3 anime would then pick up the story again with the Hell Train story arc. The best part is that English-only readers who wish to read ahead of the anime for free can jump straight to Chapter 79 on the Webtoons site. Who is this mysterious figure who will play a prominent role in the Tower Of God Season 2 anime? Pic credit: Telecom Animation Film Tower Of God Season 2 spoilers (plot summary/synopsis) The last time we watched Bam, events had been orchestrated so that the Jahad family would believe that he died. Filled with heartache at Rachel’s betrayal, Bam just wants to know why Rachel shoved him down and left him to die. Red Witch Hwa Ryun promises that he wants can be found “waiting up there” at the top of the tower. And so, she rescues Bam and becomes his Guide. Audiences know that Rachel’s actions were apparently born out of resentment since she wasn’t chosen by the Tower or by Headon, while Bam was chosen and Rachel was forced to watch. In fact, it seems as if the only reason Rachel entered the tower at all was since she happened to be lying under Bam when he was drawn into the tower. Meanwhile, the rest of the team mistakenly believed Bam died helping them. So, they desire to honor Bam’s final wish by helping Rachel ascend the tower as she plays the role of the “heroine” now known as Michelle Light. “Whatever happens, I’ll take Rachel to the top of the tower for Bam,” Khun said. Tower Of God Season 2 jumps forward in time to when Princess Yuri is entering a floating castle, the palace of Jahad. Having retrieved the Green April, Yuri is visiting her older sister, Khun Maschenny Jahad, the owner of the Yellow May. But Yuri’s real purpose is to visit with a different princess. It’s been five years since Bam entered the tower and Yuri does not believe Bam is dead so she requests that this other princess search for Bam. The story of the Tower Of God Season 2 anime shifts to a new main protagonist, Ja Wangnan. Pic credit: S.I.U. Enter Ja Wangnan, who desires to be the future king of the tower (in Korean, “naneun wangja ya” literally translates as “I’m the prince”). Despite setting such a high goal for himself, Wingnan keeps failing the tests on Floor 20. But like many a Shonen protagonist, Wangnan’s true power is not giving up. The problem for Wingnana is that repeating the test takes great chunks of cash for a Regular living in the residential area. Wangnan now owes a great debt to loan company Lurker & Cash and they’ve been sent to collect after his latest failure. If Wangnan can’t pass the next test then the debt collectors literally plan on selling off all his organs so all that remains is his skeleton! With only one last attempt available, Wangnan attempts to convince others to not fight and simply ride out the clock. And the strategy appears to be working until the introduction of a member of the FUG. The FUG is the most influential crime syndicate in the tower. The FUG is opposing the 10 great families of the tower and its purpose is to overthrow the current order. As such, test administrators consider the FUG to be evil. And this particular FUG member may be silent at first but then he reveals himself to be a true monster when some of the stronger Regulars decide to fight. Wangnan manages to barely slow the FUG using Pokeball-like Shinsu bombs and he’s saved by the bell when time rounds out. Having barely survived the first round of the test, Wangnan quickly finds himself surrounded by all sorts of unusual characters. On top of the mysterious FUG member, there are multiple Shinsu users, including a girl from the Yeon Great Family nicknamed Yihwa the “Flamethrower” for barbequing everyone around her, including teammates! Even the debt collector joins the test! His boss has bribed the administrators and hired multiple Regulars to help the boss’s son, a spoiled kid named Prince, ascend the tower. The next test involves scoring their Shinsu powers using an arcade punching bag-like machine. Only the top 8 most powerful will pass, which has Wingnan sweating since he knows he doesn’t possess such powers. There are multiple standouts in the Shinsu test and surprisingly Prince doesn’t need to rely on his hired goons to score well. But the FUG proves himself to be the real monster, easily beating everyone’s score tenfold by just touching the machine. Unfortunately, poor Wangnan ranks #15 and he’s crying, thinking he’s about to be reduced to a skeleton. But it turns out that the winner, the FUG member, will be able to choose 7 teammates for the next test, so Wingnan debases himself in every manner trying to convince the FUG to choose him. The mysterious Wave Controller Jue Viole Grace is one of two new main protagonists in the Tower Of God Season 2. Pic credit: Powha The FUG member reveals himself as Jue Viole Grace, a candidate to become the FUG Slayer. Viole’s goal is to kill the ruler of the Tower, Zahard, and all of his family. As such, he considers himself the enemy of everyone present and doesn’t want any teammates. Understandably, some of the Regulars are wary of joining Viole’s team since they’d be considered anti-Jahad. But all the gathered Regulars, including Wingnan, are willing to make a deal with the devil himself if it means passing the test! Wingnan and Viole find their fates to be intertwined in the first story arc of the second season, the Prince Of Zahard. Unfortunately, anime fans will need to wait until the Tower Of God Season 2 release date to watch what happens next and to find out what happened to Bam. Stay tuned!
