Where Does Tower Of God Anime Leave Off
Alright, gather 'round, friends! Let's talk Tower of God. So you've binged the anime, probably devoured a mountain of ramen and questionable snacks while doing so, and now you're staring blankly at your screen, wondering, "What now?" Don't worry, I've been there. It's like finishing a particularly delicious, slightly suspect street taco – satisfying, yet leaving you craving more and slightly questioning your life choices.
So, Where Does the Anime *Actually* End?
Technically, the anime, which aired back in the glorious year of 2020, wraps up at the end of Season 1 of the webtoon. Specifically, it covers the entirety of Part 1. Yes, just one part. Think of it as the appetizer before a gargantuan, multi-course meal. And trust me, this meal involves more betrayals, power-ups, and questionable fashion choices than you can shake a ridiculously large sword at.
To get down to brass tacks, we're talking about Chapter 78 of the webtoon. Jot that down, stick it on your fridge, tattoo it on your forehead – whatever helps you remember. It's important! This is where Baam has just made his…interesting… decision regarding Rachel and his ascent up the Tower. Let's just say, things get complicated. Like, "relationship status: it's complicated" multiplied by the number of floors in the Tower complicated.
A Quick Recap (Spoiler Alert... Obviously!)
Just in case your memory is as hazy as mine after a week of late-night anime binging, let's jog your memory:
- Baam's Obsession: He's obsessed with Rachel, the girl who dragged him into this whole Tower business. Like, seriously obsessed. He's got a one-track mind, and that track leads straight to "Rachel-ville."
- The Test: Baam and his newfound friends go through a series of increasingly bizarre and dangerous tests on the first floor of the Tower. Think less "SATs" and more "Hunger Games meets Saw."
- Betrayal! Rachel, in a move that shocked (and infuriated) many fans, pushes Baam off the edge, seemingly to his doom. Cue dramatic music and collective gasps!
- Baam "Dies": He doesn't actually die, of course. This is anime, after all! But everyone thinks he's dead, setting the stage for some major character development and revenge-fueled shenanigans later on.
What Happens *After* the Anime? (Prepare for Spoilers!)
Okay, so you've reached the edge of the anime cliff. Now what? Well, buckle up, buttercup, because things are about to get weird. And by weird, I mean "Tower of God weird," which is a whole different level of weird altogether. We're talking hidden identities, ancient prophecies, and enough political intrigue to make Game of Thrones look like a playground spat.
Here's a taste of what you're missing:
- Baam's Back, Baby! He resurfaces, but he's not quite the same naive, Rachel-obsessed kid we knew before. He's got a new look, a new agenda, and a whole lot of pent-up frustration. Think "puppy dog" turned "lethal wolf pup."
- New Allies (and Enemies): Baam teams up with a new crew of colourful characters, each with their own quirks, ambitions, and tragic backstories. Expect plenty of bromances, rivalries, and maybe even a little bit of romance (though let's be honest, the romance takes a backseat to the Tower-climbing action).
- The Truth About Rachel: You'll slowly start to unravel the mystery behind Rachel's motivations. Is she truly evil? Is she being manipulated? Or is she just incredibly misunderstood? (Spoiler alert: The answer is probably a combination of all three.)
- Power-Ups Galore! Baam unlocks new abilities and becomes increasingly powerful as he climbs the Tower. He goes from being a clueless newbie to a force to be reckoned with. Think "leveling up" on steroids.
- The Bigger Picture: The anime only scratches the surface of the Tower's mysteries. You'll learn about the Tower's history, its inhabitants, and the powerful forces at play. It's a vast and complex world, and you're just beginning to explore it.
Why You Should Keep Reading (Or Waiting for Season 2)
Look, I'm not going to lie. The Tower of God webtoon is a commitment. It's long, it's dense, and sometimes it's downright confusing. But it's also incredibly rewarding. The characters are complex, the world-building is intricate, and the plot twists are guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat. It's like a giant, fantastical onion – you peel back layer after layer, and each layer reveals something new and unexpected.
And let's be real, after that ending, you have to know what happens next. You can't just leave Baam hanging (literally!). You need to see him grow, evolve, and maybe even find someone who isn't actively trying to sabotage his life. Plus, there's the whole "getting revenge on Rachel" thing. We all want to see that, right?
So, what are your options?
- Read the Webtoon: The most obvious choice. Head over to WEBTOON (it's free!), find Tower of God, and start reading from Chapter 79. Prepare to lose several days of your life.
- Wait for Season 2: Good news! A Season 2 is officially happening! The bad news? Release dates are as elusive as the Tower's secrets. But hey, patience is a virtue, right? (Or you could just read the webtoon while you wait. Just saying.)
Final Thoughts: The Climb is Worth It
Whether you choose to dive into the webtoon or patiently await the arrival of Season 2, one thing is certain: the journey up the Tower is an epic one. It's a story about friendship, betrayal, ambition, and the search for meaning in a world that's both beautiful and brutal. It's a story that will stay with you long after you've reached the top (or at least as far as the story has progressed). And hey, at least you know where the anime leaves off! Now go forth and conquer the Tower… or at least conquer the first few chapters of the webtoon. Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favour (or at least in Baam's favour).
And remember, no matter how high you climb, always be wary of girls named Rachel. Just a friendly tip from someone who's been there, done that, and bought the "I survived the Tower of God" t-shirt. You won't regret it.
