[Rewatch] Tower of God Floor 11 Discussion

**Rewatcher and Co-Administrator for this Climb**

How interesting that Bam’s test to gain the right for him and Rachel to climb the tower together is designed to keep both of them from actually doing anything besides sitting around waiting.

On the other hand, it’s kind of nice that the story forces Bam and Rachel to be uncomfortably alone together. Surely they still have stuff that needs working about between them, so giving them something like a bottle episode is probably for the best if they’re going to climb the tower together.

Episode 11

Chapters Covered: 60 – 67 (first half), 73 (first half)

Chapter Skipped: 66 (second half)

**Notable Differences**

– No significant changes from the manhwa today. This anime rearranges the event of these chapters to align and show them happening simultaneously. The skipped half of chapter 66 is adapted in episode 12. All content between Bam and Rachel in the bubble is taken from the first half of chapter 73, with the rest of 73 adapted in episode 12.

– [Manhwa]>!When Ren is talking to Anaak in the manhwa, he doesn’t play coy. He straight up says he killed Anaak’s mother. Their battle is more extensive in the manhwa as well, with Ren using a light shield to block attacks from the Green April and employing a feint to open Anaak’s guard enough to stab her.!<

[webtoon]>!We will now never hear about Nae again despite learning she has rare powers!<

[TOG]>!Oh i never picked up on the bull comment!<

Great way to [bait anaak](https://i.imgur.com/D0Nz5Qr.jpeg) into battle

Its a little overplayed but Shinsu is basically the perfect track for most any fight scene thoughout

[little monster](https://i.imgur.com/CLtNbfH.jpeg)

what the fuck [parasol](https://i.imgur.com/100XNf7.jpeg)

[webtoon]>!Okay they really relaxed on him being a shit person, theres a totally valid argument here that he was trying to save Hatz and didnt think of the consequences compared to just ignoring commands!<

[comically evil](https://i.imgur.com/O7BAgwu.jpeg) ren

[oh](https://i.imgur.com/LLDBZWM.jpeg)

**QOTD:**

1. Do i have shinsu powers? I at least know the trick to the eel, but i doubt i could handle being eaten to do it though.

2. I think Endorsi would actually be able to complete the task handed to her, assuming she doesnt wear those damn heels.

**rewatcher**

I think its neat they show there are more kinds of classes outside of the base 5, with animas being kind of like summoners who can manipulate the towers animals.

there is something about voicing a character like Ren which makes even scummier. like its one thing to read those lines, but to hear them out loud just adds to the layer of disgusting. both dub and sub perfectly conveyed his scumbaggery.

**adaptational differences**

* I overlooked a few things last episode that I think I should mention, in fact its kind of an overall trend that i think should be adressed. When Lero objected to Hansungs plotting, he brings up the background of the irregulars in the tower, how one called Phantamanium slaughtered Jahads highest rankers at the time, and how another called Urek Mazino founded an organization. maybe on their own this wouldnt be a bad cut, but they keep cutting out mentions like about the irregulars, who had already been mentioned a few tiems at this point. I get that not everyone is as into wordbuilding as I am, but its not just worldbuilding, its also building hype for future characters. and i think something of value is lost when every single little mention like that is cut out.

* Ren didnt bother being coy in the manhua, he just straight up admits to killing her mother. i mean its pretty clear either way, but its a neat distinction. also, instead of holding it in his tongue, he held the gem necklace in midair, like a goomba. gotta say, moving it around with his tongue is a far better visual.

* they simplified Ren and Anaaks fight, where he summoned some freaky abstract monster for her to fight at first, with that being what imapled her instead of a tongue. Previously when the show abridged the action, i was critical, but in this instance, i found the summoned creature kind of confusing, so I am ok with it being cut.

* so Paracule saved Hatz this episode. that might make anime onlies temporarily consider if Paracule isnt entirely a worthless pice of dung, but dont be fooled. in the manhua, he didnt blow their cover to save Hatz, he just wanted to attack. and he missed too! in short, paracule hating hours are all hours. Also Rak called him Pickle instead of Parasol, and i cant choose which one i like better.

**Rewarcher anime only**

[ToG anime]>!”Last chance to climb the Tower, Rachel.” “You’re lucky, Rachel.” Man the look of horror in her face. There’s almost a part of her that would’ve been fine being denied, but the Tower has chosen. Shit it’s almost comical now how they serve it on a silver platter. They put a juicy steak in front of a starving dog. Times up Rachel. Now, reach out and grab your destiny!!<

The tests the author comes up with are actually very interesting. Everything in the Tower is based around an ecosystem and the food chain. Everyone has a place and a role to play. Even Jahad’s political system seems to imitate it.

Bam has a way of making people come together huh. Shibisu and many in the group see in him a certain light that they have lost. That’s why the want to climb with him.

You better not lose Serena’s gift, Shibisu.

Some excellent use of music this episode.

The Bull’s eye resembles the eyes on the Crest of Jahad.

Anyone remember what position is Narae?

Man I don’t remember Ren being this much of a dick. Also, I got it wrong last episode. He’s not here to make someone pass, he’s here to take people out.

So here’s a dilema for Endorsi, the self interested Princess: kill Anaak and betray yourself, your own promise, or protect her and become an enemy of King Jahad, and probably die right here and now? Pride or preservation? Which way, “National Treasure?”

[ToG anime]>!With future knowledge Rachel’s behavior with Bam in the bubble is even more off-putting. I guess she’s trying not to think about it. Pretend it’s just like back in the cave. These are after all the last moments she’ll have with him before she succumbs to her own darkness.!<

_Questions of the Day_

1- The bull because I can at least fight it on land where I get to use my legs.

2- Trick question the answer is Yuri

**First Timer and source reader who forgot most of the stuff already**  

**Tower of God**  

**Episode 11**  

– Yeah Rak, better stop messing with him if you want to pass the test.

– I’m pretty sure that Hansung will make the bull jump on them somehow, because he obviously not gonna let them pass easily.

– Bam…. I don’t think saying that others are stronger and smarter to Rachel’s face is a good idea.

– Yeah, this a bit too well-prepared though. It’s like he plan for this all along.

– You called that a bull? It’s the red cape, isn’t it….

– Nice save from Anaak.

– Endorsi and Anaak’s dynamic is so good.

– “No one likes a girl who’s a showoff” Really?? I bet you differ.

– And because she plays with the bull too much instead of finishing it off, now Endori got a full Cell saga’s Vegeta’s backfire experience.

– Ohhhhhh. He might be the one that killed her mom. Or maybe he borrowed it from someone just to mess with her.

– Lauroe has to work because his blanket got stolen.

– While he messed up the plan, gotta give the green dude a bit of credit for at least trying to make up for his betrayal.

– Giving Endorsi the Green Apple for free would surely won’t backfire on you/s

**QOTD**

1. The bull at least seem killable without having to use any special equipment.

2. Endorsi because she’s seem stronger to me and not because I’m biased at all….
