1/13/2024 0 Comments Tower of god television show![]() It’s sweet and all but it’s also a huge responsibility to just put on someone out of the blue and with no warning.Īgain, we really don’t see much of their life before and it is from the point of view of an unreliable narrator but it did look like Bam was depending on Rachel for company, emotional support and just generally being taken care of by her, while she didn’t ask for anything in return. She found him by accident and then he just stuck to her like a small child. ![]() Rachel was obviously deeply unhappy and from the little we saw, she sort of got saddled with Bam. You just characterized Rachel choosing to climb the Tower as “ Rachel escaping from Bam ”. I also really like what SIU was going and Rachel is a highlight of the show for me. It really sets the tone of the story and looking back at it, makes me much more endured to the story a little more than I was when Tower of God season one ended. It seems a pretty deliberate choice to make that motivation be Rachel escaping from him, but not too far so she’s right underneath his nose pretty much, while also making her as flawed as she is. Bam’s motivation in breaking into the tower in the first place could have been changed and the story wouldn’t have changed too much. I think that’s an interesting place to start this. But in a very shonen jump sort of sense, the show wouldn’t work without Bam pulling people into his cause and gaining friends as those characters usually do. Khun has a small arc in this season and Endorsi has a somewhat relevant arc as well because she’s changed a little bit from beginning to end. I would dare say, in a somewhat controversial statement, that Endorsi should also be put into that list. I agree that Khun is the most developed character in the season itself. Ok, I think you kind of found what I was going for. Sure there is no story without Bam since it’s his story, but this particular story doesn’t exist without Rachel the way I see it. This said, as far as season 1 goes, Rachel is both the inciting element that gets the whole story going and the ultimate conflict so she gets top billing for plot importance in my book. As for narrative importance, then sure, Bam is the protagonist and Rachel has a plot device role which makes them both very important but the princesses and administrators also pull the story along and are the characters most responsible for world building I think. I certainly got more motivation and character nuance out of him than out of most. Khun seems to have a pretty heavy backstory and I would argue is the most developed character in the season. I think I have to disagree with you on that one. Tower of God really has a pretty memorable and wonderful cast, but I think Bam and Rachel are ones that have a lot more going on in regards to the story of this anime. I kind of felt a little frustrated because shonen action series are still a demographic/genre that I still watch a lot of. ![]() I’m happy that I did enjoy it because I have been struggling with liking some shonen jump adaptations because there was something off about them. Not perfect, but very well executed with some very memorable characters and cool concepts. This season of Tower of God was pretty good. I haven’t checked out the source material myself, but I agree.
