SethBigBoss said: The funny part is that the author has made a few jokes about making that kind of change (making them gay, or crossdress) to get more audience if the series had to lose its public. He made those comments because of the general state of korean webtoons production that is full of those things to please a specific part of the reader, and he doesn't think much of those tropes. And now it's here in the anime.Wow, they're trying really hard to make Khun gay huh |
Qashi-Dema said: Gerver said: Khin is a real protagonist of the first season honestly. Damn, every other character is more interesting than Baam in the first season. Consider this a feature of ToG, weak protag compensated by a lot of characters with decent amount of screentime around him. Please tell me it gets better later on like hxh good Well I would say out of three main characters Baam is my least favorite, but not because he is bad, its just that I like cunning Khun and stubborn "future character" better. And yeah, right now Baam is like blank sheet of paper, neither he nor viewer knows what is this world about, no real point of judging him until he learns where he is and what he wants. |

| The opinions of people with shit taste, such as yourself, may differ of course. |
| Correctly me if I'm wrong but were there some minor changes in plot (compared to source material)? |
| This episode was not as good as the previous episode, it wasn't that exciting and bad ass moments didn't feel bad ass imo. Also the girl with Rachel that was acting all cool wasn't really that impressive imo I know we haven't seen her full strength but it was still anticlimactic, actually her entire team felt anticlimactic. The best moment was with Khun and how he was able to bring other fighters in his bag, which now explain the reason why his bag was having difficulty going through the shinsu thing in episode 2? Wish they had shown a flashback in that part just in case some viewers didn't notice it. Bam leaving his spot was infuriating to me I don't know if it was the plot allow Rachel to simple get hit in the forehead or she is actually not a good fighter at all, but that entire stituation felt force/annoying. But it was still a decent episode. 3.5/5. |

| Another week, another dumb episode full of dull fights. |
| I'm amazed by the fluidity of the animation. It all looked so good and the story is really picking up. The VAs for the administrator and Lero ro are especially pleasant to listen to. Looking forward to the next episode. |

| I have no idea why they did such an over the top continuous surge of shinsu at the end. I hated that, and I really hope they don't keep it for other fights in the future. Also, Bam trying to attack with Black March is way out of character, compared to manhwa at least... I hope they don't stray too much from it |
| The ep was okay average. I gotta admit I started this anime thinking it was gonna be similar to a survival game where everyone kill one another and race to the top like it did in one of the test. But with number of rest time they take in between, it wasn't a survival of the fittest but more like taking test to have aptitude to yield power with responsibility. |

| Damm Khun's tactic sure was effective. He sure had an interesting item there though. Gator sure dealt with the other teams in record time. The final round though sure brought out the elites. The masked staff user though sure was both blindingly fast and powerful. Given their strength it sure was surprising seeing Rachel's team aid Bam's. The release of power from Bam sure was timely. Though thankfully the sword spirit was able to stop Bam from losing control. Its nice to see Yuri again though looks like it will be some time until she reunites with Bam. Overall a decent ep that combined action with plot development while also giving Bam some much needed advancement in terms of ability. Seems there's more going on with the trials behind the scenes than expected. Quite curious to see what Rachel's request is though. |

CodyII said: Kursei said: Correctly me if I'm wrong but were there some minor changes in plot (compared to source material)? There are some minor ones, like cut dialogue between the yuri group which gives some info on shinsu and its affect on people but also major ones. Firstly Bam never exploded or "turned into shinsu", it was just a weak attack that cut the attackers eye but was still acknowledged to be a big deal as it violated the rules of the tower. Secondly, Black March never showed up to stop Bam as Bam basically instantly passed out after being hit and so never really attempts to attack anyone other than his subconscious use of shinsu. That's what I thought! Like, I'm little bit into source material and I just couldn't recall, for example, Black March dialog after Bam lost control. I also remembered fights about crown different. This just convince me to read more thank just waiting for another episode. |
SethBigBoss said: The studio is doing too much changes,it would have been better if they stick with how it goes in the source material. -they exaggerate baam's uselessness -they exaggerate Khun's behavior toward baam -they exaggerate with the jokes -they exaggerate things to make things epic (Baam's explosion) As a reader I'm not quite happy but otherwise it was fine I guess As a watcher I am quite happy |

But I can't share the high praise for the OST. It was nice, yet not quite enough to get a reaction out of me, let alone to be chill inducing. If you have pre-expectations of this show having a good OST as some popular composer is working,it might not feel good.But for someone going blind OST was really awesome Mod edit: Merged double post. |

LaughableMaster said: I dunno guys! I just have a really bad vibe whenever I see Rachel. I just don't like her. Btw, this episode was really great. True and true. I wonder what she and her grey cloaked pals are up to. They gave off criminal vibes and so far have done everything to obstruct tests and the meaning towards them. Guessing by what the administrator said, I believe tower politics will become only more important and they are part of some opposing form. Khun resting Bam's lap was... something? Kinda cute, kinda unnecessary. As far as charakter relations go, the series did not illustrate really much. |
 |
| Ahhh too many questions and not enough answers! The biggest question though is WHAT THE HELL IS BAM?! That shinsu scene was so cool and I'm so curious what Black March meant when she said 'be delighted at our reunion'... |

Cynocid said: Cool episode. The HxH vibes were strong in this episode, nice little reference by Rak to Gon's Jajanken That was a reference? If so, that would be pretty cool. |
ArgentiumTea said: Just seeing Urek Mazino back made the episode 5/5 100% Agree. Urek Mazino is GOAT. |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| That shinsu animation so exaggerating LMAO. In webtoon, the shinsu around them just feel need to protecting bam not like the shinsu come out of Bam iirc. But hwaryun vs endorsi fight is dope tho. MegamiRem said: Ayy another dope episode. Khun the mastermind, he already made plans way before this fight even started. He really is a crafty one. Also lol |

| Lol, having read the webtoon I can say they really added some "minor" scenes of Khun and Bam... well I guess you have to feed the fujoshis for the time being. Wow, they really put some thickness into the redhead huh. And I´m pretty hyped to see Urek´s back. I always wondered if his tattoo is trying to say that he is a seraphim or something Lucifer-like. Kinda sad they didn´t put more time on Yuri´s scene, there´s something important there. |

| The bgm was pretty rad, twas a great fight even though it wasn't long. Hmm Wonder why tf they are not interested in the crown they could have easily just hit end game. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Now this was a good episode with great action and some nice twists And HOLY FUCK Khun is hot as hell with the ponytail, major highlight of the episode lmao. I felt the gay vibes between Khun and Bam and I’m all for it |
XenocrisiApr 29, 2020 1:23 PM
| Fine but this shinso burst ughhh |
 |
| Well, after this episode I'm definitely invested. The first four episodes had been good, but the things revealed in this one convinced me. Also, I love Kenjirou Tsuda's voice work. Looking forward to see where this goes. |
| Bam really is a simp, why cant't Rachel die. 2 best girls, Hwa Ryun and Endorsi are here. Awesome soundtrack this episode but they overdid it with Bam. Excited for the next episode to understand the mistranslations in the webtoon. |
| ponytail Khun is actually quite precious |
 |
| Alright guys, who the fuck invited Brock Lesnar to climb the tower? |
| That was awesome and everything I had been hoping for this week. Cheekily, I also know why they might be getting all a little wild. Notice that white on there noses. That's the toot. No wonder they all kicking off. Kidding. Excellent episode and nice to see the sword spirit make another appearance. And Rachel reveals herself. Looking forward to see what she has to say! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
KorhalChild said: Well, it's not like I'll drop the show just because of some annoying character. It's just that she's the only female character I dislike, but because she's a main character we'll see more of her and she'll have more development than other female characters way more interesting than her, like Yuri and Anaak Um , Rachel didn't even do anything to be considered a "bitch" this episode. Not talk to him even when he called out for her? I'm not just talking about this episode though, it's more about her character in general. I know the author wants to sell her as some kind of mysterious character but she just comes out as an asshole. I like Yuri way more as a character but because she's not a participant I'm sure we aren't going to see much of her but some glimpses here and there like in this episode, sadly. Uuuh can you keep your personal opnions to yourself about a certain character. Anime fans have hardly seen anything yet that shows Rachel to be a "Bitch", yet I feel somewhat spoiled by your reaction. |
| "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
| Ok, now I'm starting to see where the hype boils down to... the mystery around this MC, his potential, I see the pattern, indeed very shounen like, I'm beginning to dig this now. Also I'm a lil loss with the Rachel hate thingy going around especially making a meme of calling the MC a simp.. what exactly makes him one? from my PoV Rachel wants to do something so she does it, albeit not in the best way since she does leave Baam but she is under no obligation to stay with him, they are just friends right? friends leave, not everyone is willing to stay with you. Baam is just way too emotionally attached to her because she was literally the only friend he's ever had and doesnt want to do anything other than being with her. I'm pretty keen to these stuffs but really I can't seem to understand the hate Rachel is getting animewise, am I missing something? Also was MC about to kill red chik? from how he was shown, being the killy type was the last thing I thought he'd be, maybe he just got triggered because she almost killed Rachel to the point of being slicey? I dunno man did this really happen? feels out of place. |

BLOODRipper said: abystoma2 said: Wow, this anime really doesn't care to explain its power system at all, does it? Wait for it, can't get all at once. It's only been 3 episodes since shinsu was introduced. Will be explained Oh, I'm not talking about just Shunsu, but the general abilities and combat proficiencies. Moste of them are just one-shot characters that are given random "cool looking" fighting style/ability with 0 explanation on how it works and which the reader has no idea of what power level to expect. Well, except the "95% of the fighters will get steamrolled by the main characters". This is a problem the original comic has too. "Great worldbuilding" my ass. That's pretty much the reason the anime is slightly more watchable then the comic is readable though. |
