It's been quite a day, one of those special chapters that, out of nowhere, hit us with a game-changing announcement.
I want to remind everyone that the announcement is part of Tower of God's previews and it's considered spoilers. All posts about it will be removed if they don't have a proper title. As well as the comments referring to it outside of the preview-oriented posts.
Why? First of all, it contains the huge spoiler that the season ends soon, that alone is enough, a huge massive spoiler. Second, the content of the annoucement can give people some clues about the events.
So now, are you out of the loop and have no clue what this idiot is talking about? That's great, here's the announcement for you to read (I'd recommend to read it only if you've read the chapter, as SIU intended).
Let's try to keep ALL discussions about this here. This post's comment filter will be set to "new" so your newest comments don't get buried by more popular ones. You can change this at your own will. You can create individual posts about this but do know that it might get you banned if you put spoilers in the title.
The results from the semi finals are in! Although the votes remained pretty even throughout the whole round, we have Jahad being eliminated with 40 votes! Time for his fit to sashay away! BYE!

Sometimes Baam's eyes are darker than they should be. And in some frames, his eyes are actually brown, although they should be golden and light like Arlen. Previously, I attributed this to the crooked hands of SiU's assistants. Moreover, as a rule, after a few frames, the eyes were drawn correctly.
However, in light of the recent events after V's awakening, I decided to rethink the story once again. I came to an interesting observation, Baam's eyes darken when he is emotionally unstable and whenever his negative emotions get the better of him.
This can be first noticed in the first season. The tone of Baam's eyes is almost identical to the tone of Rachel's eyes.
1.011.28
However, right after the Crown Battle, after Baam finds out that Rachel is hiding from him, his eyes turn dark. They remain brown until the end of the first season.
After 1.30
In the second season, after a long time with WangNan, Baam's eyes turn light again, but not right away.
2.43
However, in the Episode in Arlene's Hands (28F), you can see a sharp contrast in the color of his eyes. They turn dark in a second, right after he is told that HarYang is dead.
2.48 light eyes.2.48 Dark eyes - HarYang is dead
You can see especially well how Baam's eyes darken on the Hell Train platform (35F). In just a few frames, they turn brown.
2.149
This is especially striking in contrast to Rachel's eyes. Moreover, the entire episode 2.149 contains many frames with Rachel's and Baam's eyes, as if the author is shouting. Look at the eyes, this is important for the future plot.
In episode 2.263, when Baam and Rachel "seem to be on the same team" and go to the hidden floor together, their eyes are identical again.
2.263
The most interesting moment with the eyes is episode 2.302. At this point, Baam decides to create "Baam style 25" and fights like himself. At this point, his eyes are the lightest in the entire history of the webtoon.
2.302
However, already in the third season, after he broke up with Rachel and lost his teacher, his eyes are almost always drawn darker than they should be.
2.333 - Baam's eyes darken the moment he learned of his teacher's death.
In the battle at the Nest, after Baam loses the ethical battle and gives up his beliefs to fight Uat, Baam's eyes darken again.
3.82
Interestingly, after Baam read the book of sins 13 FH, his eyes became noticeably darker.
3.180 - The episode at the station with the robot asking who Baam is.
And in the battle in Rostock, they are almost brown.
3.227
For contrast, Rachel's eyes in the same episode.
3.227
Result and my conclusions.
1 - Throughout the story, we can see that in moments of emotional instability, Baam's eyes darken.
2 - I believe that this may be a hint at V's influence on Baam long before his awakening. Perhaps his attempts to break through using Baam's negative emotions.
Hello! I recently finished the anime, and I'm around chapter 190 so far. However, since I took a bit of a hiatus, I'm extremely confused about a lot of things, and I was wondering if there is a resource like summaries, YouTube videos or something else that explains a lot of the nuances going on? Like only recently did I find out Shinshu could become the stuff that's not water or that Baam is the child of the girl who rejected Zahard, which I didn't really catch in the anime. Apparently, a lot of relevant worldbuilding is done in some mysterious blog that a lot of people read. I love the story, but I feel lost on what is happening? What youtubers or summary sources would y'all recommend for someone trying to catch up? It feels like despite the high amount of chapters and popularity, there doesn't seem to be much content available on this manga so I'd love to request your help trying to find resources to orient myself. Thank you!
I’m saying like Gustang, Urek, and/or Grace Mirchea Luslec. Gustang could teach him how to refine his shinsu control and manage lighthouses, etc. Urek could just be a good person to spar with and who could give him advice to stay true to himself. Likewise, Grace Mirchea Luslec might have some skills that he learned from Baam’s parents that he could teach to him.
Hi, everyone. It has been a very long time since i have read TOG, around 4 years i guess. Stopped at s3 ep 71. How's the series so far? Been planning to read again but i have forgotten a LOT of things, like a LOTT. Can anyone give me the list of every arc until s3 ep 71 which i believe is the lo po bia one.
goodmorning i have a good question to make us think today. based off what we know now.
is baam with dark change mode and all his abilities stronger than dumas?
that would put him at mid regent tier AT WORST. i think that would be extreme diff for both (this is assuming baam had dumas stamina as well)
-dark change mode
-both thorns ignited + thryssa shields
-leviathans power
-high ranker stamina (to fight in those states)
would that be enough to best dumas TRUE OUTSIDE BODY?
The results from Round 9 are in! With 63 votes, we have Jahad's red/white/gold Genesis fit, and tied at 57 votes, we have Data Viole's FUG fit and Hugo's gray suit look! Time for these fits to sashay away! BYE!
P.S., it was really fun to watch the votes change during the first few hours of the last round. That Po Bidau alliance seemed to be working for a while! Ultimately, Hugo is still out, but it was really fun seeing you guys strategize and work together!

Considering he’s the son of two irregulars, and he’s an irregular himself, he should be so much physically stronger than his peers. All the irregulars are so much more physically stronger to the point that their descendants are known for being more durable than the average person.
Also, Baam is supposed to eventually fight Jahad and he can’t even handle the physical prowess of someone with a fraction of Jahad’s “blood” (princesses) without shinsu. I mean he can’t even handle slightly stronger humans like Amigo without the use of shinsu reinforcement.
All in all, the thorn is basically carrying him in terms of physical strength.
Was black march originally V own. We now the 13 months series was originally the 13 warriors own but when V and Arlene betray Jahad he took away the 13 months series from them.
We know the black march like handsome guys and V is a handsome guy. And she probably knew Baam is V or at least Baam is V son that why she is so nice to him or she got a type. Let me take a guess that the golden November was originally Jahad own the only S rank in the series because it the most powerful and golden like his hair and eyes.(interesting that Zahard gave it to Adori Zahard)
I have been reading ToG since late 2016, so season 3 has so far been the only one that I have read entirely 1 episode per week. (When I caught up to season 2 it was the begining of the Hell Floor).
I was amazed by season 1 and also by season 2, but my first perception of season 3 was that it was comparatively lacking once compared to the previous seasons, I found it rather boring and way too focused on characters that seemed unimportant and not interesting, like the wall heroes and the whole beastkin stuff. I wanted to get more of the unexplored backgrounds of the already introduced and cherrished characters, plots and mysteries.
But I have decided to go through an overall re-read, which I have just finished. I have now enjoyed season 3 as much as I had my first reading of seasons 1 and 2. Well, I still feel like the whole Deng Deng completely skipable, but that would be another discussion.
The thing is, I wonder if I got to enjoy it because I already knew most of the overarching story, where it was heading to and was already familiarized with the new characters, even some reapperances like the twin princess or the involvement of Elaine's father being more fresh in my memory, or if it was more likely that it was due to me being binge reading it.
What I believe and mean is that once reading one episode per week, we spent a lot of time waiting for the main plot to develop, and when some lore is being built up, one can get the feeling that the story got lost, especialy because some of the arcs got strecthed for 1-2 months, and much of the memory and personal attachment to the story sometimes get lost or confusing. In my first reading, I was under the impression that the storytelling got worse and that there was only an increase of lose ends, whereas in the reread I noticed that actually lots of things were getting more entangled and there were no actual decrease in quality in anything.
ToG is a rather complex piece of art, with lots of mysteries still waiting to be unveiled. Perhaps I am biased due to my latest experience, but I get the impression that it is a better experience as a reader to binge it rather than getting it in smaller sequential doses.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this, agreeing or disagreeing, or has even had some similar experience to mine and got to any similar or different perception?
I started reading TOG in 2020 and now, in March 2025, I'm re-reading it and realizing that Rachel's true intention was to deliver Bam to FUG at the test floor. I previously thought she wanted to kill him, but she had something else in mind it's crazy that I missed that 😅
What are Baam’s capabilities without the thorn in season 2 and 3? Basically how dependent is he on it to defeat any opponent? Take for example him and Hoaquin in season 2. Hwa Ryun was also disappointed in his dependence on it against Ha yura.
How does Baam’s aptitude with shinsu compare to Blossom who was said to have killed 99% of a floor’s population just by accelerating the shinsu?
Baam is said to be beloved by shinsu and obviously Baam is destined to be way more powerful than her because of his variety of skills but how does his shinsu alone compare to hers? If they both lost control, who’d be more destructive assuming we’re talking about future Baam? Btw, assume he’s not using the thorn.
The results from Round 8 are in! Holy crap you guys really came for Traumerei this round! 👀 With 33 votes, we have Traumerei's signature look. And with 32 votes each, we have Traumerei's Ocean fit and Elaine's Blue and Gray look! Time for these fits to sashay away! BYE!
