©Tower of God 2 Animation Companions
I’ve combined emotions about this episode of Tower of God. On the one hand, this episode takes a member of our supporting solid, Horyang, and absolutely explains his backstory, giving him a metric ton of wanted growth. Not solely can we be taught the origins of his powers, but additionally his tragic previous as an orphan who was used as a take a look at topic to fuse people and demons.
That is the type of factor Bam’s staff has wanted for some time now. 9 episodes in, we all know nearly nothing about these characters. The extent of their powers, their histories, and even their motivations are largely a thriller. The concept they’ve been touring collectively for years and by no means opened up in that point appears insane. However perhaps they did, off-screen, through which case the current time soar has robbed us of plenty of necessary info.
However whereas welcome, that doesn’t change the truth that Horyang’s story is greater than a bit predictable and cliché. The entire test-experiment-children-with-only-a-young-woman-who-treats-them-kindly premise is much from new, as is the estranged-pseudo-brother-with-mirroring-powers half. However whereas the backstory is easy and simple to know, Horyang’s actions usually are not.
Regardless of the complete staff being keen to assist Horyang discover his pal, Horyang as a substitute decides to run away in the midst of the night time to search out him alone. His said motives, nevertheless, make no sense. There may be nothing that immediately means that Cassano can be harmful: utilizing Horyang’s alias as his personal is a transparent signal that he needs to depart a path for Horyang to observe. However even when he had reservations for some cause, taking Bam alongside looks as if the neatest transfer anyway.
However whereas Horyang’s reasoning for going alone is a bit complicated, Bam’s acceptance of it makes good sense on the floor. Bam is in a relentless state of concern for his associates, each new and outdated. Their affiliation with him has put their lives at risk. Horyang doesn’t wish to put his associates, i.e. the remainder of the staff, at risk due to his personal private baggage, and that’s one thing that might harm Bam deeply. And so it’s fully in character for Bam to cover Horyang’s departure from the remainder of the crew. That’s the one destructive factor Bam has picked up from his new FUG allies, easy methods to lie and hold secrets and techniques, and one thing tells me Horyang could effectively pay the worth for that new character flaw.
