Jahad and his Princesses
In Tower of God, episode 7, reveals more regarding Jahad and his princesses. Jahad was the first man to climb the tower. He built the kingdom, he granted some women “boons,” none are related by blood. After granting these women power, he demands that they remain virgins and bear no children. Jahad imposes this limitation to preserve the power he gave them. Tower of God doesn’t really explain why the King does this. Regardless, Anaak’s mother breaks the rules the King set. The powers that Anaak possesses are inherited from her mother and she represents what the King forbade. Endrosi accuses Anaak of being a privilege. The fight ends with both Endrosi and Anaak falling off the platforms. Despite the animosity Anaak has for the Princesses she doesn’t seem to hate Endrosi.
Bam’s Shinsu training
Elsewhere, Bam and the others continue to train their Shunsui. After getting some tips from Lauroe, he begins to excel very quickly. So far I have found to be underwhelming protagonists. He doesn’t seem to be centered in Tower of God the way most protagonists are. Initial I found this jarring but it’s starting to feel refreshing. Bam is a docile character. His only motivation (currently) is to find Rachel, who treated him like a pet or a child. He’s starting to come out of his shell as he’s separated from Rachel. Bam is similar to other typical anime main characters, in that his unassuming personality draws others to him. To this point, Bam is asked by Ship Lesso and Hatsu to help them finish their friend making list, they are two short. They entice Anaak and Endorsi to join the lists, with the promise of food.
New Test and New Administrator
The director decides to have a joint test with another examiner, Quant. The fourth test is a game of tag. The 28 participants that have yet to pass will participate. Only Rak and the mysterious fighter from Endorsi and Rachel’s team have passed. The participants are divided into two teams, with Bam and Khun on opposite teams. Each team has a member that’s “it”, one is chosen by the director, the other will be selected from the Fishermen. They will be marked by wearing badges. In order for a team to win they need to help their teams “it” to reach a goal or steal the other team’s badge. If they succeed they will get 100,000 points and if they steal the badge they will get 200,00 points.
Khun quickly sets a plan, leaving Ship Lesso as bait. Quant falls for the trap but is able to quickly break free. According to Lero Ro, Quant can become “angry and indiscriminate.”The test is particularly interesting for only one reason, Khun and Bam are on different teams. Assuming that the losing team can no longer climb the tower, I think it’s become an interesting dichotomy. If I had to guess I would suggest that Khun sacrifices himself for Bam or Bam receives some more of his “luck”. It’s possible that I missed something but I’m interested in the outcome.
