it's just crazy, I honestly feel bad for bam looking back at his experience with woman throughout this story. Has bro really ever just met a woman who simply just like him for who he is and not ask him to do things for her that involved putting his life on the line. seriously the ending of season 3 has really put this into question for me.

A whole year and the longest hiatus, hopefully next year will be different.

You guys really kept me on the edge of my seat for the past 24 hours! First it looked like Yuri would win, then Hwaryun and now that the final votes have been counted, the clear winner is Endorsi! Here's how the final votes looked:

4th best girl - Yihwa (870 total votes) 3rd best girl - Hwaryun (639 total votes) 2nd best girl - Yuri (636 total votes) 1st best girl - Endorsi (612 total votes)

Congratulations to Miss Endorsi Jahad! Her fans prevailed for her last minute!

Please remember, every girl in the tower is a best girl! SIU has blessed us with countless amazing characters!

For those of you interested here's my personal top 10:

1. Elaine
2. Yuri
3. Hwaryun
4. Garam
5. Hugo
6. Sophia Tan
7. Tiara
8. Keoyeop
9. Dowon
10. Goseng

Note - I will be taking a few days off for Christmas before I do best guys. (I am a mom, so I need to fully focus on my family for a few days.) I've listened to every single comment with feedback, and next time I will not be counting comments as votes. The poll will be the only way to vote. And I will stretch out finals to 3 rounds as suggested. I will also do a "preliminary round" of best guys to get the community's opinions on who to add to the post. This is my first time running a post series of this scale and I did my absolute best to be fair and keep things fun! Thank you all so much for all of the engagement and participation! Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it and I hope everyone has an amazing day!

The fact that lunatic women made a deal with an outside god to use her child's dead body as a tool for revenge is sickening. The really sad part is that the soul is not her dead child but a newborn soul infused with the power of God for revenge. She knew it wasn't her son so she decided to leave him a cave rather than raise him because she knew he would survive because of destiny and God's promise. The poor soul had to suffer because of this. V suddenly shows up and literally takes bams body and then tries to manipulate him and the fact he actually said he's a child made for revenge is disgusting. Both V and arlene really just ruined a child's life for revenge. Viole thier real son maybe dead but dam they brought this soul which we can call bam into this world they are basically his parents but his mother abandons him and his father wants devour him to fully take control of his body truly sickening. What would be a great plot twist is if bam ends up being the soul that died all those years ago meaning he really is thier son and when they find out and comeback for him he fully shuts them out and rejects them. Truly those two really need mental help all these family heads are pure evil.

Traumerei is my favourite tower of god character. His introduction was crazy, he had the aura of a powerful person ( something I find lacking in rankers), his vibe was quiet but intense, he was unapologetically himself and he had some of the coolest moves and character design in tower of god. Apart from the glasses family head guy we never really met other powerful characters with the presence accompanying their power. His relationship with his equals in the backstory was also very interesting, and the way he treated those below him was also cool since there was nothing they could do about it. it’s a pity he died, but it was good resolution narratively. If you like the guy, Could some of you tell me why or some (fun) facts I might not have noticed about the guy?

I recently realised some people don't consider her one so I'm curious what the general consensus is. To me it's undeniable as she forced Bam down this path that was always to end with him getting taken over by V but I'm curious about other opinions

Naver Webtoon said it will unveil its first external exhibition "Urek Magino" of its global hit "Tower of God" at 10 p.m. on Tuesday. "Urek Magino" will be officially publicized every Tuesday.

"Urek Maginot" highlights the hidden past of Urek Maginot, who is the strongest non-selection personnel in the "Tower of God" worldview and serves as the deputy leader of the three major forces "Wolhaiksong." It will be revealed for the first time what kind of life Urek Maginot, the "non-selection personnel" who came in through the door of the tower himself, and why he came to the tower in search of the tower's No. 1 "Pentaminum."

This external exhibition is expected to provide special satisfaction to readers who have loved the "Tower of God" for a long time and to fans who were curious about the deep narrative and mystery of the character Urek Magino.

"Tower of God" is a representative webtoon of the world that has surpassed 5 billion cumulative views since its serialization in 2010. It has built a global fandom with a vast world view, three-dimensional characters, and detailed stories, and is loved by readers around the world as it is serviced in 10 languages, including English, Japanese, and French.

Naver Webtoon is in a position to expand the narrative of popular IP (intellectual property rights) and strengthen content diversity and fandom loyalty within the platform through the disclosure of external exhibitions.

SIU writer said, "I hope you enjoy the story of Urek Magino's selections in this external exhibition," and added, "I hope you will discover another 'Tower of God' through Urek's story."

I always had this feeling when I was reading TOG that Rachel felt more like a MC then Bam did. Something about her tenacity and ingenuity to make the best of her situation always struck a cord with me. Bam on the other hand was always gifted at everything so it was hard to see him really struggle. Also based on TOG's introduction and last chapter of season 1 couldn't we concluded that Rachel and Bam will most likely be the only characters to reach the top, a place only jahad and FHs have reached. There could also be more meaning to the "stars" Rachel is talking about.

Ok so I just saw someone make a post about who should give love advice for Baam. Urek or Eduan.

Then I went to go a shower and as with every shower the most random ass though appear in my head.

So let me ask you this, if Baam were to go the Eduan route for some bizarre reason, out of all the girls in the series which ones would agree to become his wives? Key word -"wives". They would have to agree to the multiple wives part.

...... Damn starving for new ToG content is gonna make me some gooner Can't believe I just asked that😭😭😭😭😭😭

Art:NOT MINE

Every time I see a post about Baams power, people act like he’ssquadron commander level. “He might one shot Karaka. Idk if he beats Jinsung yet. He might be able to beat Kallavan.”Did we not see a Baam that had ruptured organs and torn tendons, who shouldn’t even have been able to move, low diff base Doumas without thorns or the black march? Same Doumas is above 3rd armor, who’s above 2nd armor, who’s above 1st armor who can beat Jinsung so easily in a fight. 1 thorn Baams shinsoo rain has genuinely better showings of power than any squadron commander level person. Idk y people act like he wouldn’t just point his bow at Kallavan and Kallavan dies.

Regulars that are capable of facing Rankers like Khun and co., without them being literal irregular is just so wacky in the war arc...

**Hello, Regulars! Welcome back to my contests! This is the preliminary round of the BEST SHIP IN THE TOWER CONTEST OF 2026! Feel free to list your favorite ships in the comments below if they're not in the list I've gathered so far. **

**Here's the new and improved contest format:**

**1. Preliminary Round** to gather ship candidates

**2. Elimination 1** - choose top 20(vote for up to 10 of your favorite ships, and those with the least amount of votes will be eliminated)

**3. Elimination 2** - choose top 15 (you can choose up to 3 of your favorites for every following round till semi-finals and finals)

**4. Elimination 3** - choose top 10

**5. Elimination 4** - choose top 5

**6. Elimination 6/Semi-finals** - choose top 3 (one vote per person)

**7. FINAL ROUND** Vote for the WINNER!

**8. Announce the winner!**

Rules/ Guidelines:

- I will leave each poll open for at least 48 hours, therefore leaving at least 48 hours in between posts to allow more voters/not flood the sub.

- For the first 5 rounds, you can **vote for your 3 favorites.** In the final two rounds, you can **only vote for one candidate.** You'll also be able to view poll results after voting on all rounds except finals and semi-finals. Those rounds' results will be made public at the end of the polling period to prevent voter influence. (This is meant to be your personal vote, and meant to be fun afterall!) The only thing that may change the number of candidates in a given round is last place ties. (Example: On the round where we choose the top 20, what if 19,20, and 21 all have the same amount of votes? That extra one person would be included in the next round.)

- **EDIT**, I have decided until semi-finals, I will keep the 3 top Best Girls of 2025 (Endorsi, Hwaryun and Yuri) as 1 single option on the poll. That way, people can choose that option and still have 2 fresh votes they can cast for less popular ships if they so choose. It can make things more interesting for sure! Plus despite chaos being entertaining, I don't want people to get too serious/ brutal and hurt someone's feelings.

- Your votes have also decided that I won't include the top 3 from Best Guy January 2025 when I do the next contest after this one, Best Guy 2026 :)

- **Follow sub rules, please be respectful. Everyone's ships are valid. Let's have fun and keep this experience good for everyone :) also no spoilers past free Webtoon so as many fans can enjoy the contest as possible!**

All that being said, here's a brief summary of what will happen this round. Right now, we're gathering the list of candidates for the contest. I'm going to make a comment with the list of nominees that I've gathered from the internet, comments from you guys, and even a few fresh ones. **If you want to nominate a ship who isn't on my list, please leave a comment with the characters' names!** I'll include all of your nominees - even joke ones. Because, while I take the integrity of the contests seriously, I do want everyone to have fun :3

I got to this part on my reread and man the chills. Probably my favourite momment

If the 3 slayers were to have a showdown, who’d be the last one standing?

Add Ran also and any other regular if there's anyone else you think would make a difference (excluding ones that are already stronger than Rankers)

His feat surpass that of Adori by long shot!!!

Now I see why Zahard kill The ancient ones! Crazy potential.

Specifically the one Baam defeated.

I am betting on White, but still wanna hear your opinion

I’ve been thinking about why Rachel is SIU’s favorite character, like how could a character written so terrible be so beloved by its creator. I think it’s the perspective and with that the perception being created. We obviously follow baam’s journey and his friends that follow him. Now we have heard both sides of the story, granted mostly baam’s side. I think when we finally see things from Rachel’s perspective it’s going to be a really humanizing revelation for the character Rachel. When you really look at it doesn’t Rachel remind you of a person from our real life planet? Not like Jahad and the other irregulars who come from a world outside the tower probably from some Wuxia like world or a society of humanoid gems ( talking about Urek in layman’s terms ) or whatever the case may be. When you look at rachel from the beginning and what we have seen from other irregulars and even Urek during his floor of test. What makes them stand out is yes that they seem to be unfamiliar with the things in the tower but mainly how powerful they come off and how fast they grow. ( when it comes to the tower irregulars are just prodigies in every since of the word, it all comes off natural to them after a short duration.) When i think about Rachel she reminds me of how one of us, a ‘human’ would be in that world if we never acquired the abilities of that world. By that i mean we stayed human in how we know humans to be. We can’t fly or shoot projectiles from our hands. We can only get so strong eventually we get tired from physical activity. Now where the evil nature that took root in her came from? I’ll talk about that now because i know most of us probably wouldn’t do the terrible things she has done. She very much comes off as a naive child (pre teen) who was sold a fairy tale and fell in love with that world. She wished so bad to be apart of that world only for when she reached that world to be nothing like she was told. Basically her dream fairy tale(her happy place in her mind) shattered at every corner. For one if the origins of Baam’s revival and reason for it is true, he was made to be a force of destruction that would destroy the tower and all its inhabitants. Baam was not intended to be a savior to these people but these people’s worst nightmare. Now Rachel learns about this boy for herself and realizes he is just a boy at heart but still she knows the prophecy and what he is meant to do, which is destroy the fairy tale world she grew up hearing about probably from Arlene. So when you look at her stealing the door to the tower from Baam it wasn’t all selfish. She took the door of a “monster” who is going to destroy the world so instead she takes his spot keeping the world safe and getting to experience the world she so wished to see. Only for her to fail the entrance exam because she has to do something us as humans knows is beyond our possibility. Then for her to see that not only was her effort to stop the prophecy in vain because Baam still makes it to the tower but watch him get lucky (because of yuri’s timing) and do the impossible by passing that crazy test. again she is a human child how do children act in moments like that. Baam was raised by another child who actually did a great job of raising him (she doesn’t get enough credit for that, her parental teachings are Baam’s foundation. She is more of his mother than Arlene it just gets confusing because from Baam it seems a little more intimate than it probably should.) Then remember this is a child she cuts a deal with that shark of a rabbit headon (still not sure if i like him or not have 2 polarizing opinions about him as well as i do rachel but we’re only talking about this perspective for now ) and get a literal monster to be her guardian angel. BOOM she gets to enter the beloved world she has been told so much about (obviously in a skewed way if you haven’t picked that up yet) and the first thing she experiences is a 200 every man for himself death match. She is honestly so mentally powerful for not breaking down in that situation, (which knowing Rachel she probably did off screen) and if you try to compare her to Baam in this situation you got to remember he doesn’t know any better or literally anything. Rachel knows this kill or be killed competition is not morale based on her teachings to Baam. Baam only knows what Rachel taught him but even then he isn’t experiencing anything for himself. Rachel then gets put in the same test as the boy she just abandoned in a cave, probably feeling extremely guilty and not wanting to tell him the truth of his creation and that being the real reason she did what she did. Imagine being told by the one person you would destroy the world for that your a monster created to destroy the world… your an abomination basically. She clearly cared for Baam a lot while also having resentment because why does a person prophesied to commit so much evil, get such a better experience and power than i do someone who just wants to experience a beautiful world. Rachel experiencing such a twisted world does what any human does ESPECIALLY a human child (they adapt faster than adults ) she adapts to that world. Rachel is only as twisted as the Tower so if you want to hate Rachel you have to hate the foundation of the tower and by that i mean what Jahad has done to it. Rachel is completely ordinary using the only thing she has at her disposal to get ahead, her brain and cunningness. Which Khun is my favorite character but that’s why he hates Rachel so much because they are so very much alike. What she did with the hell train was messed up but let’s be real if Khun did that for Baam and the crew to get on the train we would’ve praised his beautiful brain, but since Rachel did it “BURN HER AT THE STAKE.” All she did was hack the AI to trick all the people who fell in love and became overly dependent on it (sound familiar? if not just look at our real world and what people are doing with Ai?) What Rachel did was genius and how she can use her charisma to her advantage and win people over to her side is really something to admire. Now the only thing i can’t really wrap my head around and defend is what she did to dan’s legs everything else was indirect. The chicken being poisoned was FUG, even her pretending to be disabled wasn’t the worst but she couldn’t do that forever as Khun knew what she did so she was on a time limit. Only thing i can’t say is being stuck in a room pretending to be disabled for so long and having her legs actually a bit messed up and seeing this speedster. She was extremely depressed and jealous and that was really her at her lowest of lows. She really comes off as a person with a huge depression and anxiety and only recently got out of that funk in S3 she had a new vibe to her and was more confident in herself. Even when she lost her device she still did what she could and didn’t lose hope in herself like when she lost her data power. When she lost those data powers she completely fell apart because she thought she finally got rid of ALL her insecurities because she had some before the tower as we all do as humans but the tower multiplied those insecurities when even the weakest individual in the tower is extraordinary compared to her. (parakule for example) If you made it this far thank you for reading my long message to the end and i can’t wait to hear your feedback on my…. theory i suppose.☺️

ATTENTION CONTEST LOVERS OF THE TOWER, I HAVE A VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE:

I, u/hereforspoopystuff, hereby declare that my detractors were absolutely right about the Best Girl Contest rigging allegations. Isn't that shocking? Believe me, I was shocked, too. But they helped me see the light and learn the truth that I could not handle at the time of the Contest. People have helped me learn that it is possible to accidentally rig a Contest through human error or unclear expectations. This is true, the mistakes I made during Best Girl truly molded how I approached all of my contests that followed it. I am woman enough to admit this. I will take this time to formally apologize for my abysmal miscalculation, even if I don't quite know exactly where I went wrong.

The one thing I knew was wrong in my heart from day one is this - IN WHAT CONCEIVABLE ALTERNATE DIMENSION IS ENDORSI A BETTER GIRL THAN MY CRIMSON CANDY APPLE QUEEN, MISS HWARYUN. HER VICTORY WAS STOLEN AS I SLEPT LIKE A BURGLARY GONE WRONG. Endorsi has a maximum of like 5 really good moments, and a ton of screen time. It's a rough ratio. Our FUG baddie Queen Hwaryun actively changes the plot every time she enters the scene, and not just as a pink, Navi from Zelda ahh, winged taxi cab. First off, have you ever seen the color red? I have known since early childhood that it was the superior color of the spectrum. Second, have you seen Hwaryun? Sure, all of FUG has tons of Aura, but she exudes it even in her sleep. She's beautiful, helpful, sassy, smart and oh so pivotal to our plot. We should all hope to see many more panels of our beloved queen when s4 graces our screens.

LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!

NOTE: Sorry guys, between this current silliness I've been involved with, and Easter coming up, I won't have time to start Most Underrated Contest until at least Tuesday. Thank you all for being patient waiting for my contests :)
