Tower of God Anime: Bam Faces His Biggest Challenge Yet

Episode 7 of Tower of God (Lunch and Tag) opens with light-hearted humour. It soon shifts to a serious tone however, as a test is devised by the rankers. Thus far, Bam has stuck with Khun and Rak and has gradually made friends, but suddenly all this is taken from him, leaving him to fend for himself.

[SPOILER] The episode can be divided into three parts. In the first part the previous cliff hanger is solved, the second part consists of light humor and an intense third part with action sequences increases the expectations for the next episode.

In the first scene, we see Anaak and Endorsi engaged in a fight that injures both of them. Bam uses this opportunity to try and befriend them by offering them food. There is also an underlying conspiracy against Bam going on to eliminate him.

But in the very next scene, all of Bam’s efforts are seemingly wasted as all of them are divided into 2 groups for a game of tag. But of course, this is a dangerous game that doesn’t bear much resemblance to the school game.

They have been divided into Teams A and B. Bam, Endorsi, and Rachel are in one team while Khun and Anaak are in another. And Rak, who has already passed the test, gets to stay out of this game.

In episode 7, Team A goes first with an unusual strategy under their leader Khun. Their ‘it’ is the merciless and haughty ranker, Quant. In this episode, the cunning character of Khun is further developed as we become aware of his observational and quick judgment skills.

But at the same time, there is an undertone of rising tension as we now know what awaits Bam in the next test. It does not seem like it will be easy.

Khun is ready to give his best despite his friendship with Bam and wants Bam to look out for himself. If he wants to climb the tower with Rachel, then he has to stop relying on others and prove his own powers, which hasn’t yet had much exposure.

Kami No Tou (Tower of God) by SIU is amongst one of the best ongoing animes and has had steady progress so far. It was serialized in LINE Webtoons in 2010.
