Did Rachel Take a Permanent Nap in Tower of God? Let's Investigate!
Okay, Tower of God fans, let's talk about the elephant in the room, or should I say, the blonde witch in the Tower? We're all wondering: Did Rachel, you know, *kick the bucket* at some point?
I'm here to tell you, with a dramatic flourish, that the answer is... most likely no! Think of it like this: If my grandma's cat *actually* died every time it disappeared for a week, we'd be swimming in kitty ghosts by now.
The Evidence (or Lack Thereof)
Seriously, consider how many times characters *seemingly* meet their end in Tower of God. People get stabbed, thrown off cliffs, blasted with crazy shinsu... it's practically a Tuesday in the Tower!
But like a cockroach in a nuclear apocalypse, most of these characters show up later, probably dusting themselves off and complaining about a minor inconvenience. Remember when Bam almost died? Yeah, *almost*. It's a recurring theme.
We never actually see Rachel's demise. We see her in perilous situations, scheming as always, but no definitive *game over* screen for her. It's like a bad reality tv show, the villain never gets eliminated.
Why Killing Her Off Doesn't Make Sense (Yet)
Now, I'm not saying I *like* Rachel. She's about as likeable as a soggy sandwich. But hear me out!
Her entire purpose in the story is to be a thorn in Bam's side, a constant source of conflict, and a general pain in the neck. Taking her out of the picture too early would be like cancelling your favorite villain on a superhero show before they complete their nefarious plans.
She serves as a mirror to Bam. If Bam represents hope, and climbing up the Tower for the right reasons, Rachel represents the other side: wanting power by any means possible.
"She brings the drama!"The yin to his yang, if you will.
The Great Rachel Conspiracy Theories
Look, I've seen the theories. The ones where she's secretly an Ancient, or a God in disguise, or even a super-powered potato. Okay, I made that last one up, but you get the idea!
But those are just theories. The author likes to keep things vague and dramatic. He loves to leave us guessing, wondering if that character really died, or is plotting their revenge, covered in bandages.
Think of this way: Imagine if every soap opera killed off its most outrageous character after the first season. The show would be boring! We need that source of chaos!
Conclusion: She's Probably Fine (Unfortunately?)
So, based on the available evidence, the narrative need for her continued existence, and my own profound disappointment, I'm going to say that Rachel is alive and (relatively) well. Maybe she's enjoying a lovely cup of tea somewhere, plotting her next move.
She'll probably continue to be a major player, and her story will be central to Bam's Journey. Like the most annoying mosquito, she is here to stay.
Until we see a body, or at least a *very* convincing obituary, let's assume that Rachel is still out there, causing trouble and reminding us that sometimes, the bad guys just don't go away easily.
