| Hmm so Anaak's weapon is also one that has a spirit huh. And quite the picky one as well. Rachel sure has quite the sweet tooth though lol. So each fighter will have their own roles in the coming battles huh. Interesting names though. After so many battles its nice to see Bam get to meet his fellows on a more civilised level though. Amusing in that the next test was forging friendships. To think that the princess of Jahad was actually a title and not a role. The little fight between Anaak and Endorsi sure is interesting though as their fight is being fuelled by their own personalities. The revelation about Anaak's true identity and motive though while an excellent twist also did well in introducing a new element to the trials. Overall an excellent ep that combined well character expansion of both Bam and the support cast of Anaak and Endorsi with excellent plot advancement. Curious to see how the renewed fight between the latter two will fare now that Anaak's getting real. |

| This was stupid. There's no reason why Khun would be so suspicious and hateful towards Rachel, and Endorsi too? What has she done YET, to be treated so poorly? wtf? |
| Oh boy oh boy oh boy! Now that was an ending! I felt it started slow. Who wouldn't after last few weeks of action. But the story and investment in characters around the MC is brilliant. Plus that ending! We need moar!!! |

| Good episode, some training going on and the explanation on the positions was quite interesting, but I've gotta say that it felt a little bit rushed, I hope they explain more about these positions. Khun's backstory seems the most intriguing so far. Rak is such a tsudenre, it seems like Hoh was able to sense Bam's strenght and that's why I hope they actually show Bam's training so that we don't get so many bullshit conveniences. Rachel is a bitch, she doesn't want to get close to Bam but still seems like she also doesn't want him to be making friends, maybe I'm getting the wrong idea idk. I did like the Endorsi x Anaak fight, some good and old character looking for revenge is always nice. But i'm still not digging into this Jahad drama so that's why I wasn't any surprised or excited about the "twist" at the end. |

| Nice insight into Anaak and her motives. I get the feeling she'll start growing on me slowly. A couple of questions though. Why does Anaak want the Black Marsh and why isn't she using her Green April to fight? Does she want to utilize the Black Marsh's power? Does she want to collect the swords for revenge against the Jahad? Endorsi on the other hand is definitely growing on me. Along with Yuri and Hwa Ryun all the princesses seem likeable so far. Rachel's been far from likeable but I'm patiently waiting to see the reason why she's hated on so much. Hope she reveals her 'true colors' soon. Rak is my favorite character without a doubt though, love that crocodile. |

| That form of contract with administrator kinda reminds of Naruto whenever he encounters Kyuubi in his subconscious state. I love Anaak/imposter but I don't think she's going to win against Endorsi. I got this feeling she's not showing her full strength yet. |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |

Rak is my favorite character without a doubt though, love that crocodile. Anaak wants the Black Marsh and other 13 weapons because they are powerful Weapons. Some of the most powerful weapons in fact. And she not using the Green April because it is part of the training to only use proved weapons. |

Khun does not trust anyone besides Bam, Rak and maybe his own shadow. I mean he was betrayed by his sister and his family went to ruin because of that (or well, to be better put, he was kinda exiled from the family). NameLessMofo said: "It's not like i care about the black turtle or anything" Rak is best tsundere of this year Unironically Rak is one of the best characters of the webtoon, so yes. --------------------------------------------------------------- The contractor´s scene was really nice. That thing looked creepy in the webtoon and here as well. My only complain have to do with Shinsu right now, but I guess they will change it as the series progresses. Endorsi is best girl and her voice fits really well. |

| More world-building is taking place and more backstories are revealed, unlike other world-building concepts this one doesn't have time to place filler after such an important event. This episode was pretty light obviously, but still well done. 4/5 Plus that soundtrack is fricking amazing. GOD TIER |

ayaan692 said: shorelines said: Anaak is so badass, we also get some backstory with her too. Favorite character so far. anaak stole a legendary sword that didnt belong to her while its holder was asleep then she claims to be a princess even though she is not and what about her is badass? she looked really pathetic compared to endorsi the only impressive thing she did was to defeat that fodder i mean even khun and rak did that without any issues While I'm not a fan of Anak myself, she's pretty badass from what we've seen so far. And no, she didn't steal a sword from someone who was sleeping. She won the bet. Another thing, just because you don't find her badass doesn't mean others won't either. What qualifies as badass for you might not be the same for others and vice versa. |

It reminds me that Naruto was once exiciting. |

TTst said: webtoon art looks pathetic, how can you say thiskavehym said: I was eager to see how they will turn the shinsu enhancement thing into the anime since it was handled well in the webtoon, and the result was pretty much disappointing. The webtoon handled this scene far better. Completely agree. They are pushing the water thing way too far. It seems like they have no plans on making shinsu change properties, which makes no sense since in the manhwa characters change shinsu in so many ways, be it a different element or form... Here, it's just waterbending |

They said you were only allowed to use the needles they provide (which are the pointy rapier looking weapons).What happened to Green April weapon? |

Not everyone does like Hatz and Bam just carried the their Weapons but Anaak likely does. |
kavehym said: ExTemplar said: webtoon art looks pathetic, how can you say this It is not about art, it is about how they illustrate this technique. In the webtoon, after using shinso enhancement, Anak could travel a long distance instantly. So, it does make sense why it is called shinso enhancement because this technique improves physical capabilities. Nevertheless, in the anime, this technique merely produces some water. kavehym said: gotcha chiefgotcha chief makes senseExTemplar said: webtoon art looks pathetic, how can you say this It is not about art, it is about how they illustrate this technique.

Here, it's just waterbending What are you even talking about? Firstly, I think the webtoon art is great. It wasn't as good in the beginning, yes, but currently I love it. But what does that have to do with the argument of changing every single shinsu manifestation into water in the anime? Shinsu can be turned into literally anything in the webtoon, fire, lighting, you name it. I get that its basic form looks like water after being condensed, but I feel body reinforcement is one where it should manifest differently. It looked like Anaak slipped on a wet floor. |
CodyII said: They really skipped over a lot of the background surrounding anaak aswell as what princesses actually are. They got the basics. Not much you can do in 24 min without making it an exposition dump. I really liked that this episode was primarly focused on characterization and world building. Little conversations like the one between Hatz, Shibisu, Khun and Baam give you a lot of info about these characters. Also, the worldbuilding is the absolute best thing in ToG and also in the anime adaptation. |

| Not sure who is going to be a bigger burden, Rachel or Bam. Definitely feels like it won't be Bam! Endorsi sure is peeking my interest the most right now, with the truth of Anaak revealed, there's more I want to know of Endorsi! A lot of training this episode, Bam is quickly growing with his training and some other people who are in the same "class" as him has also realized this. |

dark-chaos said: kavehym said: A character who seeks revenge for their family's murder is a common archetype in literature. HXH is also one of the many stories which utilized this archetype. What matters is that how TOG will develop this revenge story. I know this, you didn't add a new thing, I just fond the show is similar to HxH anyway I don't think it's a bad thing |

| That green lizard girl kinda annoys me now, but I guess I kinda understand the rage when someone takes your chicken away. Also nice little addition how rachel is addicted to chocolate bars as well |
 |
| So now instead of fighting aimlessly, the teams are organized into fighting ranks, I'M HYPE!! Background stories and fighting motivations are revealed (Anaak wants revenge from the Jahad sisters who killed her mom/aunt(?) ) and the bonds between the characters are strengthening. The administrator's comment intrigued me though (This is not a contract for you. It's a shackle). Question (or clarification) for the webtoon readers: the person who got killed was Anaak's aunt that adopted her or biological mom? I kinda got confused |
 They all feel the same adjust to the pain..like tears in the rain.. |

I kinda got confused Her biological mother and father were both killed. First, the father and later the mother. Her mother was the owner of the Green April and that's why she posesses such a strong weapon despite being a regular (someone who is still climbing the tower). |

| They cut the scene when Lauroe taught Bam to form a Shinsu-ball (?) for the first time. That's an important scene in my opinion. Why? Because it tells you how difficult it is to control Shinsu. Yeah yeah, Bam is the main character and thus he's predetermined to be a talented person and he can use whatever power as he pleases without many explanation beforehand. But hell... When you're being considered as a weakling and able to form a Shinsu ball then got acknowledged by a Phonsekal family member - who is literally born as a Wave Controller - left a huge impression as a character for Bam and those around him. Conclusion? Go read the f*cking source material, guys... |
