Kami no Tou Episode 11 Discussion

I had to try and ignore the comments section when I watched this episode. It appears something big is about to happen in the next episode. Don't know what though. I'll say though that the Tower really wants Anak dead to create a test with the purpose of killing her. Is her existence really that bad? The "test" could end up killing everyone as well.

Not gonna lie, i'm lowkey hoping for Rachel to stab Bam just so he stops sucking her balls every 5 seconds.

I noticed some changes with the art on this episode. The way they were drawn, weirdly, I prefer this one though. Also, great sakuga from that Ren guy when a huge thing came out from his mouth. Does anybody know about the staff list for this episode? I'm quite curious especially the episode director.

Was the whole "rankers run from it" in the original material? I don't remember such thing at all. The bull is supposed to be too strong for that level of the tower as it "came down here" but to say that even rankers can't handle it made me very surprised. That... doesn't seem very likely and I can't rememebr such thing in the webtoon.

and @Miale

Thanks for the explanation. It doesn't change my thoughts about it however. 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.

jrShark said:


I was surprised by that statement too. I thought to myself "huh the bull was supposed to be stronger than the ranker..?" then the bull proceed to attack only with its mouth and vines (゜-゜).

Anaak, Endorsi and Shibisu stole the episode again! Love that comedy! Overall a pretty fast yet tense episode. Endorsi and Anaak are cornered and parasol made quite the mistake in Khun's plan!

Just now gonna wait till Yuri drops in from above!

GuiMR said:

The name is Tower of God so I guess it would be actually interesting and relevant to know with more details the structure of the Tower, or levels, or whatever it might be, or to get some actual info about the physical and political laws that rule this world, and so on...

HazelShonenFan said:
Everyone out here panicking on whether or not Annak is going to killed by Endorsi. While I'm at least hoping Shibisu & Khun may pull something off to save them both.

Also is "The Bull" a beast/creature of Jahad or something? I'm not reading ahead in the manga, so don't spoil me or anything. But the eye on that beast looks similar to the 3-eye marking associated with Jahad. Considering how powerful it is and being controlled by the Royal Enforcement Division, would it be a stretch to say that the beast was tamed or created Jahad?

Zefyris said:

Yuga was Lo Po Bia Ren's fake name when he was teaching as a new wave controller teacher.
So it's the wolf(fish?) in sheep clothing (literally) that corners Anaak this episode.

xkazutox said:
me and my inner me: what's the purpose of tog again? It's about climbing the tower to get their wish granted. No, it's about taking tests seriously. No to that no, it's about not focus on the tests but focus on other things besides the test. Yikes...btw what floors are they currently on and did they learn anything from those previous tests? Idk man, I'm just as confused as you are...

ayaan692 said:
why does the author always search for ways to get bam on the sidlines

this was his test as an irregular no?

so let him actually do something instead of just waiting around and simping for rachel

It sures apllied some fast tracks as hell, there. I can't even catch any break to understand what the fuck was goin. However, what can i expected since this show had only 3 episodes left to wrap up those floor testings?
Sure this test had a trap on it, since i know that shit guy in the costume decide to hunt Anaak. What i don't understand, why Endorsi being so shit there? Where is her powerful power she claimed before? And once more. That little girls ability feels nice. But as always, no explanations during the appearance of the ability. Only a little i know, that she can manipulate the animal (?) with shinsu (?) same like that shit guy on costume (?). Whatever. Maybe her appearance only served as an Introduction for the guy on the costume. Idk. So, thats it, then. I know very well with the strange attempt this show has. Since in the very first beginning, KnT really like to fuck up my mind.

Lemme guess a little premonition here, Endorsi won a battle versus Ren, Anaak survived. That green guy with spear would die. And the rest of them team finished the test with happy smile. The end. Ah, maybe the boss fight against that director really served as finale. Or maybe not? Idk. So far this show surely weird af with the way they were telling a story. Too much story made a complexity beyonds nothing. I can't help myself to enjoy that kind of thing. Poor my dumb brain. Thats it.

anime-prime said:
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.

PurpleMario said:

Finally, someone with common sense. I also thought I lost something as it makes no sense to "test" Bam if he only has to wait for his friends not to kill him by a bad strategy, but I learned time ago that nothing makes sense in this anime.

Also, is it just my imagination or the test itself looks like something pretty... easy? Maybe I'm overstimating the characters, but I think that Rak and Hatz could easily defeat all those goblins/worms. And if even someone like Shibisu can stab that Torus (Idk how they named it in english) then I don't understand how Endorsi couldn't defeat it in 5 minutes when it was in easy mode.

And why isn't Lauroe in the front line when he is (supposedly) one of the stongests?

Zombiedub said:

In TOG if you predict something (to proceed in certain way) 8 out of 10 times you will get something unexpected. Which also makes it different from others

badabass said:


Thats why i loved making a prediction for this show. Its fun knowing i am wrong or not. So far i am always wrong. Its good to make a better premonition.

BLOODRipper said:
Ren is a Ranker whose amount of shinsu manipulation isn't suppressed like Quant, the Ranker they faced before. So Endorsi probably won't be able to win against him. Also he killed Anak's mother who was a Ranker, So Endorsi probably won't be able to win against him. She didn't beat Quant fairly who is an idiot. Ren is in the assassin unit, so tricking him would be hard.

badabass said:


Damn. Endorsi still had a chance to win. If not, i just lost my girl, there. Poor her.

Zefyris said:

Endorsi doesn't have a chance in hell against a Ranker. The odds are worse than pitting a newborn baby vs the strongest man on earth and hopping that the baby wins in a fistfight.
Endorsi didn't win against Quant, but to a "extremely levelled down" (as in, so nerfed in his possibilities that he was reachable for her) Quant.

badabass said:


Why she acted so arrogant when meeting Quant, then? After taking an April Green blade she might flee away together with Anaak. I guess, thats the real chance for her.

SouthRzVa said:
Of course, because killing "Anaak" yourself would be too crazy, right? Just let's have the other princess who SURELY didn't form some sort of bond with her already to do the killing.

Overall, another average episode. I see I did good at not expecting anything from Bam's encounter with the Administrator but still, the supposedly difficult and challenging task lasting merely 30 seconds of screen time was pretty lame.

The addition of comedy during the encounter between Shibisu, the princesses and the "Bull" made me roll my eyes a few times but Cucumber Head (Paracule, I guess?) screwing the plan almost made them go to the back of my head. Seriously, this dude is the one the Bull should have killed because I have no idea how such useless guy managed to reach this far in the tower.

Anyways, apart from that, OST remains as solid as ever and the tension between "Anaak" and Ren was well handled. Wish I could say the same for Endorsi fighting against the Bull but honestly, seeing her falling in the same trap twice was more laughable than anything else.
