| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Bam's redemption as an Irregular to attempt an individual test from the floor's guardian (the same guardian duiring his Wave Controller contact), and the reveal of Director-cum-Ranker Yu Han-Sung knowing Bam's determination to climb the Tower all along, to fulfill Rachel's dream and their destiny together. The Last Examination (the EXTREMELY difficult one): the Submerged Fish Hunt. The vulnerability of Shinsoo for these participants, is the same as the beginning where Leroro enforces the same exact Shinsoo as means to separate the worthy ones from the rest to continue the journey of the Tower, so everyone reprises their Positions (with the injured Rachel by Bam's side). And also, literal traps where their very lives could be finished in an instant. So, working together is the name of the game. Everyone sure is working hard to survive as long as they can (Shibisu being the decoy as usual) while Khun's strategist continues in the background. At least everyone understands Bam's purpose in this time, to fortify everyone and overcome challenges. Very brief, but an important outlier. Alas, backstabbers will be obstructions, and the wayward Keikaku plan of Khun's was messed up, and leaves everyone in a frenzy. The CRUCIAL bit: whilst the Princesses of Jahad, Anak and Androssi manage to save Shibisu from the Bull, Royal Enforcement "Yuga" Ren, awaiting for his time to strike, manages to get a hold of Anak, and a brief stint of the saga of the Jahads ensue (with the eventual reveal of Ren's murder of Anak's mother). With the Green April captured and Androssi rendered unconscious, this sinister scheming level is growing to be a huge one. This fight...is not over yet. A very fast paced episode with no breaks. The end of the exam next week, and what will the Princesses' fate be under Ren's diabolical schemes? |

| Gosh, that arrow messed everything up. They have to reset the strategy, I don't understand what you are actually doing. Looks like Aanak and Endorsi are cornered, fighting people like that is not easy. Although Aanak has been given a chance, in my opinion it is not a chance because it is a hard choice, dude.  |
  |
| It's the ol tale of. 'Everything is going well. Too well.' It's the vibe I got from today's ep. As I myself fell victim to that. Seeing that everything was going swimmingly, and then only for the last few minutes of the episode happen. But hey, it glues you to your set. Which is a good thing. Cannot wait for next week. |
| Telecom used Cut! It's super effective! |
| A lot has happened this episode but there isn't much to say. I am excited to see what will happen with the princess's next week, Anak and Endorsi are my favorites so I hope not something too severe will happen to them. |

| Now this has gone to hell possibly for all. Since this is not how it should go or went. |
| not much to say about this episode. i really enjoyed it, especially the parts with Annak and Endorsi, i wonder how they will get out of such a troublesome situation. i wonder if Yuri will make an appearance and save them? |
| “I’m delicious!” Lmao Shibisu! I feel bad for the guy. Even the creature that supposedly consumes everything that moves isn’t interested in him.  |

| A lot was happening with that fast pace but regardless, enjoyed this episode again. With this test, I like how expansive the area felt with tons of scenery shots for different locations where different characters were. It does still clearly feel like the beginning portion though since not really too much happened except Anaak and Androssi's whole ordeal but a lot more will happen in the final 2 episodes so I'll be patient on those. |
| “You’re ignoring me too??” It’s ok Shibisu, you still best boy. Anaak’s mischievous smile here is so cute after Endorsi promised to be her servant if she beat the [bull](https://imgur.com/a/Pf4a8Ph) Really wild episode today. So this whole test was set up to kill anaak, that’s really messed up. That means the administrator/director were in on this too. Obviously there’s no way Endorsi kills Anaak next episode, but I can’t wait to see how it plays out. With two more eps to go, if this finishes out strong it’ll be a strong AOTY contender outside of sequels. Hopefully we get a s2 announcement soon too. |
 |
| Shibisu was hilarious. XD Annak and Endorsi are in a difficult position. With two more episodes to go, I'm interested to see how all this will end. I might even pick up the source material. |
 |
| Well, nothing ever goes according to plan. Interesting that Jahad and the princesses are mentioned here yet again. I get the feeling Jahad and being a princess is going to be an important issue in the story down the line. |
| Finally, we've arrived at the climax of the season, aka the part that turned the webtoon readers into fans. The soundtrack was once again very well done. It's priceless to watch Bam and Rachel chill inside a bubble while others are literally fighting for their lives. |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| For me, the only good part of this episode (really good in fact) was the underground sequence with "The Bull", the Princesses of Jahad, and Ren (I think that was his name). I don't really understand the point of this test. If Bam (and Rachel) are being tested to see if they can continue up the tower, why are they just sitting passively in a ball a Shinsu while all the side characters do the heavy lifting? Bam should be the deciding factor for his own trial, not his friends. (Maybe because I saw this on my phone instead of my computer like I usually do, I missed something, but I don't get the point of the trial except for the fact that it was just bait and a set up for the princesses of Jahad. But Bam or Khun should have at least thought "hey, this test doesn't make any sense".) That was a little bit of a ramble, but more or less, I just didn't get that invested in the trial/test itself. |

The test wasn't done to test only Bam and Rachel, but to test everyone. The difference between this test (a test that could only be done because Bam is an irregular and met with the Administrator) and the other test it’s just that Rachel can participate (and then she would be able to climb the tower instead of being disqualified). This is the last test on this floor, and their part is also dangerous, if the others can't stop the goblins they're dead. |
| This episode is better than most that were released earlier, plus I appreciate that CGI is not used at all (or goes unnoticed). 4/5 |

Not only you get a better grasp of what is happening but also, for me it's a far better experience than the anime. Don't get me wrong, the anime is good, but the webtoon is a work of genius. The only problem that most people have is that at the beginning it's a slow grind. But it's definetly worth it. or it works without @? |
| Should I troll in the troll bait threads? It is kinda idiotic to be logical in the troll bait threads. Well, it will depend on my mood. |

This just seems like a wasted opportunity to show a little more of Bam. This trial seemed like it was going to be very personal, but he doesn't even end up doing anything. Maybe on my binge re-watch it will make a little more sense. |
|
| Well as expected, the test admins used the entire special test as a trick to silently eliminate the threats to King Jahad. Was Ren the very one responsible for murdering Anaak 1.0? Bam and Rachel in that bubble was so beautiful, but also really symbolic of how they're in their own little world while all the Regulars outside are facing life and death |
| My girls are in a great trouble. I'm really worried about them. Both of em' are my one of the fav. characters from this show. Please don't kill them so early in the show. I wish they'll survive that. Other than that pretty decent episode. |
 |
| Not gonna lie, i'm lowkey hoping for Rachel to stab Bam just so he stops sucking her balls every 5 seconds. |
| Another week and one more episode of Tower of god... And what a wild episode, this "final" test has been just a tremendous plan against Anaak. And Bam and Rachel ahving their moments too. Really great episode (as entire series), and we have just 2 more left. Just waiting for next week!!! |
| lol we all know Anaak and Endorsi are too relevant characters to not make out of this alive top kek unlike that random dude who died(?) from the Bull. Probably Yuri gonna appear from that shortcut place and save the day and ofc it just had to be fukin parasol who ruined the plan. I agree with someone above, it definitely felt like the "too good to be true" type of plan |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| I don't really get much of what's going on but well, at least the episodes are fun. I would like to see some proper worldbuilding for once tho. I think this is a common issue nowadays; anime adaptations overall are pretty messy and rushed because producers don't want to risk wasting money and the target audience is probably composed of impatient teenagers. That was most likely the same problem with Dorohedoro on Netflix. |

Kind of late to the party, but the whole idea of an administrator test instead of the normal ones is that those are so hard they are made with the intention that the irregulars fail. So basically if Bam didnt have any friends who would help him during the test, he would eventually fail it as his only win condition would be extreme luck rather than skill. If im not wrong the author explained this, that the real intention was rather failure than winning. Tho, he got lucky and his friends will help him. But yeah, basically he is stuck on the shinsu ball and cant do anything about it. What you are saying makes sense as the administrator (or someone else) says "You need luck to climb the tower". However, it still puts him on the sidelines, which I feel like wasn't a great choice at this point in the series. |

If that is true, then that would definitely ease some my issues with the test. |

| I feel like the director possessed the bull thing. |
 |
| I feel like the show really needs to work on how often they present new information through exposition and also how much time goes into actually explaining things. Other than that, I can't wait to see the direction the show will take towards the end of it's first season(hopefully we get a season 2). P.S. When they said "Bull" I REALLY didn't expect it to look like...well this:  |
 |
| Apathy towards the characters makes it very difficult to enjoy the show. Sigh... 2/5 |
