RE: Tower of god
Are you sure that's the crab thing? I recall the color this and last week being orange, whereas the demon (?) he has inserted in him (?) was pretty red. I'm basing this off of memory, I didn't bother checking. As for the lyrics, I just was wondering if the term used for "thorn" is the same or similar to "needle", at least in Korean, since in English the two are pretty similar. And that gash came from something that was being tested out, so it seems logical that he was given a needle since he has no weapon or inventory that we know of.
This would be reasonable except that baam has no weapon in his hand at the time, and we see a reddish fizzle around his hand. It could be an inventory disappearing but it's not so likely, especially because baam is not the sort to need or use traditional weaponry. It just doesn't seem to suit his skill set.
The same people who translated 'needle' before did the trans here to thorn, I believe, too. Also, why would FUG have 'prepared' him a needle?
I'm excited about his be careful in the next test remark. Half of me wants him to just kill them all, it would be a deliciously dark turning point, however unlikely.

RE: Tower of god
That theory, and pretty much every other batty theory you can come up with, has been tossed about at the batoto forums quite a bit… A couple more that people like are:
- Baam is a creation of Enryu/Macseth/Gongbang/who knows
- Baam is the missing 13 month series weapon
- Baam is a previous prince of zahard or shard of power which was sealed away, only to be uncovered and thereby 'awoken' from endless dreamless sleep by Lahel
- Baam is a lizard alien man
- Baam is phantaminum
I don't much care for any of them, but it's true that his starting cave had the marks. So he comes from the place Zahard does or he's sealed in a place related to Zahard in some way at the beginning. Basically though if something's mentioned but not (confirmed to be) present in the plot currently, there's a baam-is-X theory for it.
Can I just say again how glad I am that people are posting here so that I don't have to read the inane chatter of those preteens on that subpar forum as much? It's very refreshing.

Dan just becomes more and more likable as this thing goes on. Good to see that Ilmar didn't lose his demon powers to Cassano.

RE: Tower of god
When was the last time you bumped it?
Anyway, I don't know if he's recruiting a 'team' per se… unless he has some way to solidify allegiance or instill morale, it'll be a pretty shitty team. Koon knows this. More likely a group of semi-elite fodder in my opinion. I'm interested to see where this goes with Lahel/Rachel as some sort of 'leader' though, and whether she's kept up the paralysis charade or gained any powers or whatever. She's an irregular too, probably, and it's odd that she hasn't manifested beastly strength like Baam/Viole or any of the others before him.

RE: Tower of god
Oh thank Crom there's some discussion here. The fanfic-writing twats over at Batoto were starting to become unbearable.
Epilogue will be wonderful; I'm excited to see what twist of fate or characterization will get Baam/Viole to make the Wangman his wingman and bring along the others as well. Also, Teddy. What the fuck, man? Secretly
! hiding powers beyond those of a 10 families superpowered flame-sconced serial murdering Hellboy-status megawitch? You go, gurl.

RE: The Breaker
So, Black Heaven and Earth technique will tear everything to shreds in the end after all. I am so, so very excited.

RE: Tower of god
Another chapter and things are looking damn good. Sorry for the double post, I guess.
I'm excited to see how Love fares with this most recent attack, though I wonder why Baam/Viole would go to the trouble of changing his appearance and identity only to rouse suspicions by copying techniques so easily (and blatantly). It seems like he should be using stuff gained over his 5 year hiatus rather than showing off his Irregular abilities…
