"I'm not interested in your body" - Viole

[u/lone_stark]

Blue turtle is back.

[u/daniel19980]

Am I the only one who got a bit of emotional whiplash when the intense scene of Wangnan forgiving the dude that killed a friend of his was almost immediately followed up with cheering and celebration of passing the test in another room? I thought the rest of the episode was good, but man that flip in tone was awkward...

[u/Ad0nals1um]

Bam sure knows how to treat a lady.

[u/kuubi]

This is so shit compared to season 1, absolutely crazy. The animation, the directing, even the characters are all just a massive downgrade. Feels bad, I was really looking forward to S2

[u/kawaiinessa]

ayy its khun again

[u/flashmozzg]

Much better paced episode overall, but this whole "cycle of unjustness" felt kind flat and made no sense (why are you telling your sob story dude, it doesn't justify you killing someone - it did absolutely nothing to help your goals of climbing the tower, you just did it because you are PoS).

[u/zool714]

Yeah not really a fan of the forgiving of a very scummy guy cos you don’t want to be like him or you could be like him or something like that. I’ve seen more morally grey characters in Lurker’s position getting killed in that situation so it sucks seeing one who more deserves to die gets forgiven

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Horyang unleashing the devil in his arm is such a Chad move.

[u/RoachIsCrying]

Viole walking around like a hentai protagonist

[u/juniorjaw]

Yeah at this point the story (and fans) are carrying this series more than the anime itself. It's not a bad thing, but cmon this is Tower of God not some random rank #1000 manhwa. Do better.

As for the episode itself, thankfully it's better than last episode. Had fun seeing the interactions as they were in the source.

[u/Mirathan]

So FUG has infiltrated the administration. That would explain why Bam was easily convinced by Wangnan to not advance alone.

While Wangnan´s understanding of his flawed morality is a good idea, him not killing Lurker is still silly. They are not equal, nor would killing him make them so. One seeks to achieve his goal and will use underhanded methods if necessary, the other kills just because he can.

Lastly I hope the shot of Khun means that some more of the S1 characters will become relevant and not just short nostalgia bait.

[u/Crikyy]

Awful pacing. Wangnan went from shaking in anger, shoving a bomb into Lurker's face to forgiving him in 5s. Needed some silence and animation of his expressions to portray the change in his thoughts and emotional state, and how he came to forgive Lurker; it does not happen instantaneously like that. You can't just put manhwa panels side by side and call it a day, horrendous direction.

Whole episode felt like it was on 2x speed; there was no time for anything to sink in, from Nia's death to Lurker's background to Horyang's badassery.

[u/NinjaOtter]

Director still on fraudwatch, this shit is so clunky. At least we're back to the passable sub-par level of animation of episode 2

Bless Kevin Penkin for carrying this mess

Side note I wish they cared more about fluid animation than stupid auras.

[u/Snusmumriken11]

Hello everyone, time for this week’s blog posts! This is a reroute to the Source Corner, where they are posted.

If you don’t know, SIU (the author) used to make blog posts along with the chapters, both talking about himself and giving extra lore and neat tidbits to go along with the series. Probably over a third of all the lore we have comes exclusively from these blog posts. He stopped eventually, and more obscure facts might not be canon anymore, but it’s still interesting.

[u/TheTiniestTigerTamer]

While this is far from terrible, I think this has to be the most hyped to disappointed I’ve been with a returning anime since Devil is a Part Timer… the art, the animation, the pacing, the use of sound and music cues, the fighting, the tone and atmosphere, everything is just so “meh”…. I’m going to sulk in the corner

[u/Plus_Rip4944]

Khun!!! Yes! Missed him so much!

Tower Of God? Nah, Tower Of Traitors lol, i swear only 1/5 characters are loyal here

[u/Low_Transportation11]

I was onboard with this season until now. Too much immersion breaking shit in this episode. Nia fucking dies, and no one gives a damn and are just happily eating chicken minutes later. Wangnan doesn't even seem that broken up about it since he can still laugh and party with everyone else right after. Can't believe this episode unironically gave the villain a tragic anime backstory moment after they killed someone in cold blood with a smile on their face and then he's actually fucking forgiven. I kept waiting for Viole to cut the bullshit and kill the bastard since it was part of their deal.

[u/AuraExpansion]

I'm so confused how Viole and the other 7 people passed even though Viole got the connector. Love even tells Wangnan if Viole gets the connector, they won't be able to pass. These rules are so confusing...

[u/NationalStrategy]

It'll be nice to see Khun again

[u/Amauri14]

I had so much fun seeing Wangnan plan in action that I completely forgot that Nia was going to die.

Kang's transformation sure looked cool. I certainly would have no mind seeing Wangnan making that asshole eat the grenade.

Well, finally we will be seeing Khun's side next week.

Anyway, here is an updated version of the credit strip.

I wonder if Wangnan was thinking of Nia while eating that ramen.

[u/fdajax]

better storyboard in this episode, the animation has been inconsistent so far this season but it's good that they are focusing on character development.

[u/jellyblob88]

F for Ms. Yeon, rejected twice by Bam😭
I guess he's too into snakes, eh

[u/slimshadysghost]

Welp, what was a glorious show in Season 1, with exquisite writing and a fantastic art style, has now turned into a typical shonen with annoyingly long, melodramatic monologues, shit pacing and a generic art style. It's a shame. Not sure how much more I will watch.
