| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Uhh so many things happened in this one. Everything went by pretty fast crazy how they won with that dysfunctional team. Also sad end there for Hoh. All those backstories they've shown now, this story's got a darker side. |
| Kevin Penkin has delivered another fucking masterpiece. This OST is goated. This world building is top notch. Some of the best I’ve ever seen. What an amazing episode. Endorsi‘s backstory is really sad. Bam is going to keep getting hard lessons on his way to the top. He’s basically never experienced life so he’s learning the hard way. “Friends” ain’t always your friends. Endorsi saying what we all thinking, Bam, please stop being a simp. https://imgur.com/a/ALIIzyS Really great stuff consistently throughout this episode from the backstories to the fight animation, to the mystery of whoever wrote that letter for Hoh. Someone set him up to be in this position. Can’t wait for next week. |
 |
| I wasn't a huge fan of this episode. It felt way too rushed again. The chase, the twist, the fight, the resolution: way too much for a single episode to take on. Bam still has no character, even when confronted with the twist in this episode, he barely reacts even though he should be furious. |
 |
| Continung on with the insanely long Hide-and-Seek arc to its final throes from last week... And...Androssi's plan of thwarting and betraying her own made-up team is in effect. Unfortunately to those who aren''t aware of the Princesses of Jahad (real or fake), this was essentially walking into a trap (before it was even one). To Bam though, as much as his concern (for characterization), that's where I found conflict of actions to words, the same way that Rachel treated him (that Androssi is now towards him). The more Bam shows his true colours, he as a character is stubborn, but one that is founded on achieving others dreams. And Ho though, his jealousy has taken that memo to action to kidnap Rachel, and the underhanded methods exposed his true nature. Thanks to Quant though, the assassination was unfortunate, but contrary to Bam's kind-hearted nature, everyone else had a fight to live for, to save their own kind, and Ho's no different. Truly are the traitors of the participants of this race up the Tower, truly showing their true colours in the face of elimiating the people of baggage weights. In the end, Bam's decision to fight Quant in collaboration with Androssi...a victory earned, but with much bloodshed. Nevertheless, this arc is over. Quite rushed with only 4 episodes, 3 (2 short, 1 long) arcs to go before we finish the prologue. anime-prime said: It's to be expected since the beginning anyways.I wasn't a huge fan of this episode. It felt way too rushed again. The chase, the twist, the fight, the resolution: way too much for a single episode to take on. Bam still has no character, even when confronted with the twist in this episode, he barely reacts even though he should be furious. And I agree that Bam is just going with the flow, but maybe a hint of personality reeks in somewhere not shown as of yet. |

| The whole feeling for this show just became darker. I felt this episode was way too fast-paced, So many things happened and I hardly had time to react. Anyway besides that this was a great episode, I was losing interest in the show but now I am excited for next week. |

| There was a lot of things happening really fast and we got a lot of backstory into some of the characters. Hoh dying in this episode is sad and Hoh trying to kill Rachel made Bam step in and protect her again. Then best girl Endorsi was fighting against the ranked and the way she stole the badge was super sneaky. We finally won the test and that's where the episode ends. This show has a ton of worldbuilding and we get more every week. Bam had never experienced a betrayal until now and so he's gonna have to learn how to deal with these situations. Endorsi also now knows how much of a simp Bam is over Rachel. Bam really doesn't have much character development at this point though. The episodes may feel a little fast but at least we have a good OST and I don't think the animation is that bad for the first manhwa to be adapted into an anime. Always excited for next week which is episode 10 already. Man time flies by fast! |

| This episode shows too much of a nasty reality of what people will do whatever it takes to get what they want. Bam doesn't seem that type of person to possibly do what is necessary. Sure the battle was won. But the costs came in badly. Bam I sometimes love you man. But you gotta start stepping up sooner or later. If you are planning to climb the tower in any way. You better keep your guard up or you are going to die. |
| And this is why they tell you to "Never trust a Hoh." Smh Bam...  |

IDK what's so good about her either because she didn't want Bam to know who she was before. This show always makes me want to know more. |

| My favourite character Endorsi had a sad backstory. And RIP Hoh, I wonder who was the one that set him up. Bam being able to learn that Ranker technique was impressive. |
 |
| My god... so many things happened: First of all Hoh dies. Rachel got stabbed. Bam masters a new technique. A sad background story. Endorsi fought the ranker. Rak lost Silent man. And Endorsi's the best girl. . BRUH!!! |
 |
| The B in Team B stands for betrayal I'll always feel bad for Hatz every time I encounter that betrayal scene he really trusted his teammates damn you Paracule T_T The soundtracks were really good this episode! They still change/cut out some scenes but I guess thats inevitable,, but what I really don't like is how they're cutting quite important details in exchange for Rak scenes that aren't even usually funny omfg he was okay in the webtoon but in the anime he's getting kinda annoying sdjsjdjs |
| chad Bam: -classic jump in front of mega attack to save gurl - masters a ranker attack after seeing it like once vs the virgin Hoh: -can't even keep a girl properly in his arms - gets rkd by the chad but wait wasn't Hoh paralyzed from Bam's thingy? So how did he regain movement so quickly? And couldn't the ranker have done something about it given how there was a good amount of time before Hoh stabbed himself (where he was just holding the knife above him) and ranker dude can move at like the speed of light? Plus the ranker wasn't even that far away from him give me more Hak plz |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Endorsi appeared to be darker in this episode, had many plot twists, that final was interesting, also, we finally see Hoh's ambitions and feelings toward the Tower and the MC, btw F. it was a little bit rushed, but still good episode tho |
| That backstory was sad and RIP Ho. |
 |
| (Mild spoiler in regards to character's technique and skills) I can foresee that this episode will definitely drive some of the manhwa lover nuts, since the changes were pretty drastic here (especially the characters). But I guess it shouldn't be a problem since no one seems to be confused with the new changes. I just wished there were better animated/choreographed fights though. (if you enjoy they betrayals, you can open the spoiler tag below to read more of it that they have omitted) Also, most importantly, the obsession for SPEAR REVOLUTTIOOOOOON is not enough xD. I'm guessing Parakewl won't be a meme in the anime haha. |

| RIP Hoh, probably the best episode of tower of god, it was absolutely great |
 |
Mitsunezyrall said: Oh yeah it is, especially this episodethis Anime is cool right ? right? |
|
A fast fight, just by running Oni can win. Somehow Bam here is very depressed, friend? it's just bullshit, betrayal can happen at any time. I like the scene where Hoh was stabbed with a knife, Bam embraced and hugged Hoh who was dying, this scene was somehow very touching for me. |
| Everybody's swimming and drowning in Tower politics except Bam, he's probaly surfing it but he doesnt know it yet. Ah Poor Hoh ... but c'est la vie in the Tower. I smell Khun's stinky cat's paws all over. Khun you bad, bad blue turtle! XD |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Endorsi best girl. RIP Ho. So did Khun sent the letter? |
| That felt so rushed, damn. |
| "Even if it has good reviews, if I don't like it then it is shit" -Some random anime character |
| Damn that episode 9 Man Endorssi really piss me off that episode her attitude and personality rub me wrong way. Looks like brown hair yellow guy is that Is Hatz and Bam the only one in team b that are cooperating? Lero wasn t happy About that Hwaryun hiding lol its so funny |

Here they skip it (8 chapters in 1 episode and have to keep up this fast pace till end to finish season 1 in 13 episodes) .

Plus the ranker wasn't even that far away from him give me more Hak plz To hopefully answer some of your questions: In the webtoon there was a "safe zone" which Hoh stayed in during the situation, hence why Quant couldn't stop him. Quant then attacked Bam with the freezing attack and told him yo use that to save Rachel whilst he sent off to try and save from other Regulars from a different hostage situation which was cut. It's then revealed that Quant only did that to give Bam false hope and distract Hoh as it took him hundreds of years to learn that technique, saying "Is he really a monster?" When he sees Bam actually pull it off. As for why Hoh regained movement, pretty sure the technique only freezes people for a few moments. ok that makes more sense. Anime really butchered that part then cause it seems pretty stupid how quant just stood there given his position lel CodyII said: As for why Hoh regained movement, pretty sure the technique only freezes people for a few moments. but quant had to unfreeze Bam himself in order for him to move again? And Bam clearly already mastered the attack so I assume it would be the same. Unless the explanation was omitted and it's a case of either you have to unfreeze or a time limit unfreezes then alright, |

In the webtoon Quant just said something along the lines of "keep that shinsu circulating in your body to form a bang and use it to save Rachel" then ran off ye he gave Bam a nice shoulder tap and then he could move again. Even if the shoulder tap didn't do anything per se, the time that Bam was paralyzed was far less than the time Hoh was so that wouldn't add up then |

| I must say, I really wasn't expecting Hoh to be get killed. The moment we saw the blade in the air, I was %100 sure that someone would go into the "Yare yare, you really are hopeless" mode and save him by catching the blade. I like this darker approach where you just can't save everyone. I hope they will keep this darker tone and won't pull some resurrection magic bullshit out of nowhere. |
