* Having your name taken in Name Hunt Station not only means that you cannot leave on your own free will, but also makes you a slave to whoever owns your name. And the way to gain ownership of a person's name is either through combat... or simply by placing your hands on a person's back for a few seconds. That latter part is basically a recipe for symbolic '''rape''', as a few examples below will warn you.

*** And indeed, exactly that happens! It took a while, but Traumerei now has met Bam..... And Bam doesn't even have it in him to fight Traumerei. He states outright that Traumerei can and will kill him without much effort. If his complete and utter manhandling of Yama and Yasratcha aren't enough, this displays just how little the powers of "Top 100 High Rankers" are compared to the god-level Family Heads.



*** But even more terrifying than his power is his personality. It's already a bit of an intimidating sight to see just how obsessed he is with dominating and controlling, but even though he seems to display some remnants of humanity, that humanity showing itself in such twisted ways and ultimately being quickly overcome by his obsession can be pretty shocking and even more horrifying than just him being a Jerkass ControlFreak. He appears more like a Yandere seeking to keep his dog completely loyal to him, as if he does acknowledge his loyalty but wants to break him into being completely submissive, gets angry rather quickly whenever Wangwang shows some doubts, even calling him "My dog" as if asserting a genuine but deeply possessive desire to keep him, and when Wangwang actually ponders attacking him, all that care is gone in a heartbeat. Even his last bone towards Wangwang is given in a pretty cruel way that makes it clear he is ''pissed'' that he didn't get a completely devoted loyal dog, and considering his present treatment of Yasratcha, his turning a blind eye to his betrayal may well be a CruelMercy that makes even Yasratcha's CruelToBeKind towards Yamaa and Doom look pretty nice in comparison.

** And it's not even the end of it. As Traumerei reveals, it's not just him. The other Family Heads are aware of Bam. At the very least, there is the fact that most of them prefer Bam to keep climbing undeterred.... But there is also the nightmarish fact that the current situation means the Family Heads are essentially free to act anytime they like. Considering how much of a HopelessBossFight Traumerei is, even in the future after Bam has grown powerful enough to defeat a Family Head, just how much damage will fights between such god-level individuals be? And if Bam is forcibly pitted against them when he isn't ready, what can and will Bam do?

--> '''Traumerei:''' Where is the boy? The one who came from outside the Tower.''''''
** Yasratcha and Wangwang's past further makes Traumerei even more terrifying. He gives the appearance of an extremely powerful god-like entity who is depicted as effectively a HopelessBossFight. The cunning Yasratcha trying to trick him, he easily sees through it, and the Ancient Akrinak gets utterly wrecked by him as he summons a creature who is even bigger than the Ancient and then he utterly decimates Nen Neya. Made worse when you remember that Traumerei wasn't using a Fishbowl at all. He makes commanding such a strong creature look effortless, reminding us exactly why he is the greatest Anima in the Tower, and he makes it clear that he may be dismissive and callous, but he is ''far from being stupid''. When he inevitably fights, life will get significantly harder for Bam the way he is now.

* Deaths in Tower Of God are scary. The first test in Evankhell's Floor involves the death of two hundred Regulars, and that's just the beginning. Death is commonplace in the Tower, and so are betrayals. People ''will'' kill you if they could get the chance to climb higher. CrapsackWorld indeed.
** Not to mention the other off-hand deaths like you get when the Hand of Arlene blows sky-high. There ''were'' a lot of tents around there, not just some syspencycles. Or the unknown number of Rankers Urek dusted before that, even. Let alone the two he killed in no time on-screen. Add to that the horrible thought that some of the creatures we've seen killed on and off ''could'' have some degree of intelligence even if they're being puppetiered by others... and... [[FridgeHorror *shudders*]]

** Finally, Evankhell destroys one of the Portals.... Only for her actions to instead summon the 3 top-ranking Branch Heads who are guards of the Family Head's inevitable arrival. At the end of the chapter that has them ready to warp to the Nest, Lo Po Bia Traumerei is seen in his throne, shrouded in darkness, but clearly ready to go as soon as his guards arrive.

And the next chapter, exactly that happens! Lo Po Bia Traumerei appears sitting in his throne. He has the appearance of a child with his arms crossed, detached, as if he's simply overviewing something insignificant, but when he finally speaks, he only has one line that ends the chapter and signifies the horrifying possibility that Bam will indeed have to fight a Family Head soon:
--> '''Traumerei:''' Where is the boy? The one who came from outside the Tower.'''

** Not to mention that Yasratcha who has been kicking Yama's ass all over before and is doubtlessly one of the strongest Lo Po Bia warriors states that he and Yama are simply cute pets compared to the power of the god of the Lo Po Bia Family. That's right. The power of a top 100 High Ranker is ''nothing'' before the gods that are the Great Warriors.

*** It gets worse with the revelation that the Lo Po Bia Family will soon go to war with the Po Bidau Family. We have to remember that while Gustang is higher-ranked, rankings do not determine power. What if Lo Po Bia Traumerei is the superior Family Head? As much of a SmugSuper and a cold person Gustang is, he is still the only Family Head who is close to Bam's side. If Gustang were to lose to Traumerei, then Bam would lose a potential ally who can be of great help.
** And the next arc title after Bam humiliates and defeats White? It's the One High Above.... And the person mentioned to be someone that powerful is none other but Lo Po Bia Traumerei, the Family Head himself! His arrival on the Nest is inevitable indeed....

* The entire Battle of the Nest takes a grim turn the moment the fact that there exists one portal that connects it to.... Lo Po Bia's Battleship. This means that any time, the most powerful warriors of the Lo Po Bia Family can enter the Nest anytime. And to make it worse, the Family Head of Lo Po Bia can also enter if he wants to. It's not the elite warriors that warranted Evankhell's desire to destroy the portal, it's just the Family Head coming there and destroying the FUG forces, which she clearly believes he could do. As the Family Head most loyal to Zahard, he may be the weakest, but it speaks volumes of just how powerful the Great Warriors are, which makes it more horrifying when you remember that Bam will most likely have to eventually face one of them in battle.
