Kami no Tou: Tower of God

Opowieść o pożądaniu i przetrwaniu na szczycie wieży

She wanted to see the stars. He wanted to be with her. What do you desire that you would give your life for? Only those with the strength to survive can acquire that which they seek at the top of the tower. (Source: Crunchyroll)

Bam przechodzi test Headona i wznosi się, podczas gdy Khun celuje w niego podczas Black March

Bam overcomes Headon's test and ascends to the second level of the tower. "The Black March" Bam received from Yuri catches the attention of Khun, who toys with him. Together they aim for the top, but... (Source: Crunchyroll)

Khun wyjaśnia naturę fałszywego nieba, podczas gdy Bam zmaga się ze śmiertelnym testem wyboru drzwi z Rak i Hansung Yu.

In the new venue, Khun explains to a wonderstruck Bam that the "sky" here is an imitation created by Shinsu modeled after the legend, which he doubts exists. They meet the director of the test, Hansung Yu, who challenges them to find the right door out of twelve identical ones within 10 minutes given only one chance, lest they be forcefully terminated. Although Khun tries to think, he is inadvertently haunted by his past of being betrayed by his half-sister Maria after she was chosen to become one of the elite girls, a Princess of Jahad, through his help, thereby exiling the Aguero family as well. His mother also warned him since then to never trust anyone and closed his heart off. As Khun panics, Rak pushes open a random door and Hansung reveals the hidden condition to pass was to open any door within 5 minutes. Lero Ro then administers a bonus test where participation is voluntary, but all who pass it would be automatically granted permission to climb the tower. The test involves five rounds where a maximum of five teams attempt to steal a crown and remain on the throne for as long as possible, with two other members of the team acting as a defense. As the second round begins, Bam feels Black March react strangely as a girl resembling Rachel arrives. (Source: Wikipedia)

Anaak siedzi na tronie, władząc mieczem The Green April po pierwszej rundzie Crown Game

At the end of the first round of the Crown Game, Anaak, wielder of the ever-changing sword "The Green April," sits upon the throne. Bam, Khun, and Rak wait for the right moment to participate. Will they survive until the end of this bonus game? (Source: Crunchyroll)

Bam chroni Rachel przed atakiem, co powoduje eksplozję Shinsu i kończy grę korony.

Khun makes countless copies of the crown and releases three other participants that he had allied with during the second round from his bottomless bag. The next round proceeds with the mysterious team entering the game, proving to be extremely powerful. Bam recognizes Rachel and jumps to protect her when she is attacked by a female masked player, the two getting struck on the head in the process and falling to the floor. As Bam vows to protect her, a strange explosion of Shinsu erupts, making it appear as if Bam had turned into Shinsu itself and willingly attacked the player — something that goes against the unbiased and absolute rules of the tower. The crown game ends without a victor as the crown is melted from the extreme power release and Bam had left the throne during the game. Due to his serious head injury, Bam is admitted to the infirmary. Rachel later pays him a visit, where she meets Khun and begins to ask for a favour. Meanwhile, Lero Ro approaches Hansung questioning his reasons for having him administer this bonus round. Hansung cautions that as administrators, they are present to prevent anyone potentially dangerous from claiming the tower's power, with Bam hinted to be one such dangerous person.

Khun oszukuje Bama, podczas gdy Anaak kradnie Czarny Mars, a Bam zostaje Kontrolerem Fali.

Five days have passed since the crown game. Rachel requests that Khun lie to Bam that she was never here, to prevent both of them becoming each other's burdens, although Khun quickly sees that she doesn't really care about Bam and works to distance the both of them, fulfilling Rachel's request in the process. Anaak steals the Black March, but it refuses to listen to her. After Bam reawakens, Khun tells him about how Lero Ro assigned them all positions in their teams to start the fourth test: Fisherman (Close quarter combat), Spear Bearer (Attacking from distance), Lighthouse Bearer (Illuminating the tower and information gathering), Scout (observe the enemy's movement and assist the Fisherman), and Wave Controller (support and control the battle with Shinsu). Bam receives the Wave Controller position, a position that utilizes Shinsu to support team members. In order for Shinsu to be used above limits, contracts must be formed with the floor masters using their Pockets, but Bam is warned by the floor bearers that receiving the contract will only shackle him. Everyone works hard in order to pass in their classes. During mealtimes, Bam meets Endrosi Jahad, a Princess of Jahad in her own right who labels Anaak as an impostor. Khun later finds out that even though Anaak was supposedly made a Princess of Jahad after climbing the tower, she is currently in the midst of passing the tower's tests and records claim her to be deceased. As an enraged Anaak and Endrosi battle in their class, the current Anaak is revealed to be the real Princess's daughter whose parents were killed by the other Princesses, prompting her to enter the tower for revenge.

Endorsi i Anaak wpadają do dołu, podczas gdy uczestnicy przygotowują się do gry drużynowej w ostatecznym teście kwalifikacyjnym.

Jahad is the first man to have ever climbed the tower, become the king of all who lives in it today. Endorsi likens the Princesses of Jahad to luxurious shoes in a display cabinet – once they are granted Jahad's power, they are forbidden to do certain things, such as engaging in intercourse and bearing children to prevent the inheritance of Jahad's power. Their fight ends with both Endorsi and Anaak falling into a pit and ending up seriously injured. In the final placement test, participants (all but Rak and Ghost who have already passed) are required to play a game of tag in a separate building while they split into Team A and B respectively, with each team's members required to help their own "it" steal the badge from the other team's "it" or reach the goal.

Strategia Khuna

Khun's strategy: delay Quant long enough so that Anaak their secret "it" can make it out the bridge and pass the test. When Quant reaches the bridge he finds Khun instead of Anaak. Khun lies that Annak jumped off the bridge but in reality, she is safely floating on lighthouse under the bridge, which Quant figures it out. Quant jumps down the bridge, forcing Khun with him in an attempt to get his lighthouse to fall, but Khun is saved by Anaak using the Green April as a vine rope. Down the bridge Quant surprisingly finds Khun and Lauroe, who offer him a ride up the bridge to steal Anaak's badge. It is later revealed Khun betrayed his own team so that his friends (especially Bam) on Team B could pass the test. With Team A losing the game, Team B enters next. Unlike Team A who established their roles clearly and quickly, Team B fights among themselves over who will be "it". Endorsi herself declares she will be "it". Serena's backstory is revealed: she was once a burglar, and one night she watched as her friends were killed by a ranker which lead to her becoming a Regular. In the present time, Quant catches up Endorsi and her team as she shockingly seems to turn against her team as well. (Source: Wikipedia)

Endorsi planuje eliminację rywali, podczas gdy Hoh porwał Rachel, co prowadzi do tragicznego starcia i zwycięstwa Drużyny B.

Endorsi reveals that she intends to kill the other two Fishermen on Team B to assure she passes the test. Bam runs to Rachel and he and Quant discover that Hoh is holding Rachel hostage at knifepoint. Hoh tells Bam that he will lose motivation to climb the tower if he kills Rachel, as he has uncovered by an anonymous letter, giving him leverage in passing the test. Rachel tries to break free from Hoh's hold and he accidentally stabs her in the back. To Quant's amazement, Bam uses a Shinsu technique that took him hundreds of years to master to paralyze, recovering Rachel who is now bleeding badly. Hoh, realizing he was set up and grieving in how he is once again, powerless (remembering how his reason for entering the Inner Tower was that his entire race was murdered as he watched helplessly), takes the knife and stabs himself through the chest, killing himself. Serena and Endorsi arrive at the scene and Endorsi uses a weapon taken by one of the Fishermen she presumably killed to attack Quant. Along with Bam's help, Endorsi recovers Quant's badge and Team B wins. Hoh's corpse and Rachel are taken to emergency care and the episode ends with Bam at Rachel's bedside. (Source: Wikipedia)

Bam ujawnia ranę Rachael, Serena odchodzi, a prawdziwa tożsamość Rena wychodzi na jaw podczas wyników testów.

Bam reveals to Khun and Rak that Rachel may never walk again after her injury. Bam invites his peers to a small funeral set up for Hoh and they have a remembrance party for him later that night. Knowing she won't pass the latest test and feeling that her purpose isn't there, Serena leaves the Inner Tower and gives Shibisu her knife as a parting gift. Test director Hansung Yu runs into Wave Controller teacher Yuga holding a secret call, who reveals that his true identity is Lo Po Bia Ren, a member of the Royal Enforcement Division. He is on a mission to retrieve the Green April and possibly destroy the false princess - the second Anaak Jahad. Yu unexpectedly allows Ren to pursue his mission. The next morning, the participants learn of their overall test results and whether they passed or not. Hansung Yu announces that since she was injured in the last test, Rachel has failed. In an attempt to save her status, Khun asks for permission to take the administrator's test. Yu reminds him that only Irregulars have the power to consult with the administrator, in which Bam notifies him that he is one. This revelation surprises many of the participants. Bam is then taken to the administrator in order to speak with him. (Source: Wikipedia)

Bam i Rachel stają przed próbami pod wodą, podczas gdy Shibisu i Anaak spotykają niebezpieczne stworzenia

After consulting with the administrator, Bam succeeds in getting permission to take the administrator's test - if the pass, then Rachel will move on. For the test, Bam and Rachel are placed into an underwater Shinsu ball along with fish and must be captured by net dolphins and eaten by their queen to pass. The remaining participants must stop the net dolphins' enemies: the goblins - who control marsh worms - and striped ground pigs, from interfering with the net dolphins. They must also watch out for The Bull, a mysterious and dangerous creature that eats almost anything that moves. In the caves, Shibisu runs into The Bull after receiving a warning from Hatz that the two participants who were with him have gone missing. Shibisu is saved by Anaak and Endorsi, who arrive just in the nick of time. However, the two start competing and betting against each other to see will defeat The Bull first. The Bull however, runs off and Endorsi and Anaak follow, leading them to become separated. Endorsi runs into The Bull, which is now stronger, and she left nearly unconscious. Anaak on the other had, runs into Lo Po Bia Ren, who stabs her through the torso. Ren is now controlling The Bull and it brings a captured Endorsi to him, who is ordered by Ren to kill the Anaak, the imposter princess. Meanwhile, Hatz, Rak, and Paracule are keeping an eye on the goblins. Khun instructs them to wait before moving in, but there are more of them than expected. As one of the goblins prepares to attack Hatz, Paracule reflexively skewers it with his spear, prompting the rest of the goblins to attack. (Source: Wikipedia)

Rak i Lauroe walczą z wrogami, podczas gdy Anaak i Yuri konfrontują się z Lo Po Bia Ren pod wodą.

After initially running away from the goblins, Rak turns around to attack the goblins, joined by others from the team. Meanwhile, Lauroe follows Khun's orders and seals several underground tunnels leading the striped ground pigs to the goblins. The two enemies fight each other, allowing Bam and Rachel safe passage. Underground Anaak is nearly defeated by Lo Po Bia Ren but Endorsi chooses to fight alongside her. Together they are still not powerful enough to defeat Lo Po Bia Ren, but as they fight Princess Yuri arrives and recognizes her blade she loaned to Bam. Annoyed with the situation, she works with her team to kill Lo Po Bia Ren. As he dies he laughs, admitting that during the fight he sent the bull to kill Bam and Rachel. The bull arrives underwater to kill them and gets several good hits before Bam uses his special Shinsu to defeat the bull. As they rise upward about to complete the test successfully Rachel stands up and pushes Bam over the edge. (Source: Wikipedia)

Tło postaci Rachel ujawnia jej zazdrość i zdradę Bama podczas pierwszego próby wieży.

Some of Rachel's backstory is revealed. She believed the tower was calling for her, but when she arrived Headon tells her that the tower did not call her at all and that she is too weak to enter. Desperate to become special, she begs for any kind of chance. Headon holds her immobile and she watches as Bam arrives and is able to defeat the first test. She is jealous of Bam and wants to be special. Headon gives her a special test, telling her that she will be allowed to climb if she defeats Bam with her own two hands. She demands a special weapon (since Bam was given an amazing weapon in front of her) and Headon gives her a bodyguard that will die in her place once, allowing her to essentially have 2 lives. She makes her way through the tower knowing that she must kill Bam but unable to bring herself to do it. She becomes more and more jealous, urging him to stay away from her in her mind. She is told that if she waits long enough and follows the signs given, she'll be given a chance to kill him. So she allows herself to be taken by Hoh and uses the bodyguard to die and return. She waits until Bam is injured then pushes him into the Shinsu lake to kill him. When the others find her alone, they ask where Bam is and she says the bull came then passes out. Everyone assumes Bam is defeated and decide that as a favor to him they will help Rachel reach the top. Rachel, resting in her room after the trial, laughs wildly then covers her face--conflicted over what she's done but still determined to reach the top. After everyone leaves for the next level, Bam wakes up in a deep cavern badly hurt. He remembers Rachel pushing him. He decides he needs to climb to tower in order to find his own answers.
