Nah thats how it was portrayed in the webtoon as well. Baam might be attracted to rachel but his devotion to her is not born of it. It's more like she was his everything. He lived in empty dark pit with nothing and no one until he met her. Everything he knows including words and concepts is entirely from her. If anything she is more like his mother than romantic interest. The show hints at this with how he describes her. They say right in episode 1, he is more afraid of never seeing her again than death to the point he doesn't even have to think about his own well being when weighed against that.

Even though he is pretty boring right now, I think it's interesting to watch how feels about other things. He starts out with a single minded goal of finding rachel but he does grow attached to other people with other goals. We can see already that he felt bad for making them risk losing the crown game or if he risks losing something he is borrowing. The show very intentionally makes him weigh things against his pursuit of rachel and I think it's fun to watch the wheels turn and the blank person become a human. It's kind similar to the main guy from katanagatari in that respect.

I dunno, that whole competition seemed kinda lackluster to me. And I get that they were trying to establish Khun as smart with his whole strategy, but putting people inside of his bag just seemed a little ridiculous to me. Got some lols from it though.

Well, I'm glad that others are at least enjoying this show a lot more than me!

The bag is sort of a hint about how stuff in the tower will work later. There's lots of OP or ridiculous items being made in the tower and the Khun family had plenty of money to buy em with. The items add an extra layer of strategy on top of the shinsu powers that are the core of the fighting in the tower.

I liked the episode but I'm laughing at everything, I couldn't stop chuckling when Androssi kept using her heels and it broke lmfao, so typical

I thought it was a bad idea - or at least strange - to wear high heels in a battle, but thought at first it would just get written off as anime logic, but it actually was used in a plot twist and I turned out to be right for once

I had a feeling he'd leap off the throne because of Rachel. I'm glad she remembers him at least. Poor Bam though, that was a nasty hit to the head. Something is definitely different about him... losing control and turning INTO shinsu?! I wonder if he's similar to homunculi from the Fate series. Aka a blank-slate human being but with a body that's slightly more special than a normal human (in Bam's case maybe was made out of pure shinsu or something).

Also my mind was blown that that was a ribbon in Khun's hair the whole time (also it was super cute how comfortable he was sitting on the throne with Bam)

Khun is so pretty! I ship.him with Bam xD I don't like Rachel.
The battle is boring, and why there's ordinary people and some have power.. that's unfair!
Bam become OP is a meh.. I don't like it

aww so cute lap pillow on cuteface.
Biggest surprise was Khun's not-blue hair turned ribbon. Cool fight sequences & ost, tho some osts really didn't fit.
Nice Lero explaining then revealing more tower mysteries... still don't trust Rachel after Khun's experience, but cuteface has max luck stats.

Very intense episode. I especially liked the action in motion. Looked good.

Kinda weird that a bonus test took 2 episodes to resolve while regular tests went by in much shorter time.

I am following the dub as I am busy with other stuff and really like the cast. I just want to say the crown game was really fun and a nice change of pace. I'm loving this show so far and I keep being impress by how it changes things up.
I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon.

Khun is surely the brains of the group. His intelligence and tendency to make up contingency plans for future events is nothing short of impressive. Now that I think about, the group of three compliments one another pretty well. Bam, the good innocent guy, Khun, the ever so cunningly clever smart guy, and Rak, the muscle alligator. It is a simple yet fun group of individuals.

That was such a 5Head move of Khun. He planned all that before this fight? Kudos for that. Like I thought his bag is very special. Copying things, people who can get transported in it (now that comment "Your bag seems very heavy" makes sense) and mostly a lot of other stuff is definitely something else.

Rak finally also got some time to shine. His interaction with Khun is so hilarious most of the time :D

I enjoyed the last round a lot. Animation and OST were on point but at the same time questions popped up in my head. Why for example did Rachels team support Bam? Who was that girl with the red hair in that cat suit? And what was that crazy shinsu attack of Bam? Good thing Black March stopped Bam who was about to kill that red haired girl.

The conversation Han Sung and Lero-Ro was also interesting. So that's why they do the tests. But with that another question for me came up. Who is Urek Mazino? >.<

I wonder what Rachel told Khun at the end.

Khun you cunning bastard, having bad that can copy, a hidden team and tying up your hair, how many tricks does he hidden up his sleeve!?!

My curiosity is peaked seeing that Rachel didn't try to kill Bam but instead helped him, Bam unleashed some powerfull Shinsu and the redhaired lady wears some nice full-body tights.

Good episode again, although I do prefer the previous episode to this. I felt like the action was good still between Androssi and the girl in the full body tights (who basically becomes my 2nd favorite character from this franchise later on) as well as Aguero using his brain and his abilities with planning far, far ahead when composed to have some of the regulars in his bag to assist them with climbing the tower so that they can help him in future rounds, like for this Crown Game. Even the cliffhanger with Khun and Rachel meeting while Bam is unconscious was a solid one.

One thing I was split on was the golden shinsoo that exploded when Bam was mentally out of control seeing Rachel be attacked like that, along with costing his group the test by leaving the throne and dropping the crown too. The anime staff tried to show how much potential shinsoo Bam has and how if trained the right way, can be one of the most powerful threats to the Tower with his gifted abilities and being a genuine Irregular, but the explosion of the golden shinsoo was overexaggerated not gonna lie. The webtoon used the shinsoo to make it less explosive and windy but more of a strong breeze but here it went like a proper explosion.

Still though, I still enjoyed this episode overall. Man, watching this show without having the pressure of comparing every single detail to the webtoon, and watching it while the community dismisses every single frame about this show is refreshing. I actually feel like the first 5 episodes are a 7-7.5/10 right now, the pacing hasn't been bad at all for me and while minor details were changed, the heart and soul of the show was still there, I still liked the characters and interactions and I have fun watching the fights and visuals. It's just a shame the future episodes aren't quite as great as these five for me. But that's for me to talk about in the future in detail when I get to those episodes again in the rewatch.

Damn, so much twists in one episode.

And damn, that red haired chick in splinter cell suit was unexpectedly powerful. She even beat that crazy and cute girl that I thought would massacre everybody in this episode.

So that was truly Rachel huh. I wonder what her scheme is. There's is definitely a reason why she saved Bam, since Bam is indeed a very powerful being. Not just being lucky I guess.

What an episode. Rachel's revelation and reveal, and what will happen to Bam now, his fate hangs in the balance...

The smart Khun with his clone-making bag being the decisive factor for the team's win, with Rak being the defensive. And surely the message sent to Anak about her Ignition weapon is formalised...

As the Crown Game continued, it seemed that Khun has the whole game in the palm of his hands, forming allies that are tools for his win...

Wasn't expecting Rachel's team to defend Bam. Although the bonus game ended without a winner (due to Bam's OP unleashed Shinsoo power)...

Leroro and Evankell's discussion on Bam and Rachel, showcases some leeway that's as if they've encountered the same instance before...

At the end, I wonder what request Rachel said to Kuhn?

@RinTheWanderer This is the perfect description of Baam as a character and his role in the story right now. A lot of people are quick to label Baam as having no personality and whatnot, and to be fair, the anime feels very rushed and does not depict it as well as the webtoon, it didn't let certain moment sit for a while for the people to digest. Baam is learning as he goes, he's going to develop his own character as we move along.

This is also a show that is not completely dark, nor completely goofy, it's a mix of both, similar to One Piece and Gintama.

So that mysterious girl really was Rachel and she didn't seem intend on killing Yoru but instead her group had another target, interesting. Also, Khun's bag is not only really durable but also has ridiculous storage capacity and can clone things too, talk about OP.

- The girl in the black suit was so damn cool. So was the brown hair girl that fought her. Can’t believe she lost just because her heel broke, AND THEN SHE WENT AND GOT MORE LIKE DID YOU NOT LEARN YOUR LESSON

Estou em dúvida entre esse e o episódio 4 pra ocupar o melhor episódio do show até o momento

Sim, eu sei que o objetivo de Bam era correr atrás de Rachel, mas ele está sendo indiferente com sua própria vida se imaginando como um escravo dela
Essa é a maneira mais podre de pensar que eu vi durante o ano todo.....
