Tower Of God

Okay, just started Part II.

My God, Baam is cold.

Not much to talk about with the new chapter, is there? We have Koon being Koon, and that Dan guy being established, but basically nothing else.

Oh well, SIU says the next chapter's gonna be a big one, so there's that.

Caught up.

Heh, good to see Koon being himself again.

I appreciate the scanlators' efforts, but must they provide commentary?

I actually find that part of the fun.

Koon does the best gambits.

lol, obviously he didn't realize you can't trust someone who says they're lying.

The raw is out.

Koon knows.

I see what you mean.

Oh man oh man oh man I wanna see Rachel get karmic retribution somehow.

Gotta wonder why Koon is still playing along though...

I really hope that Rachel realizes what a bitch she has been.

Just think that if he has catched up that Rachel is tricking him and the whole team, Koon must have some suspiction that Baam is still alive.

I can only agree Rachel is going down.

I can't wait.

Have to disagree with Crazy though; she's not ugly and whether she is or not isn't the point.

She's ugly on the inside, that's for sure.

Koreans disagree.

She's ugly on the outside as well.

No,no when I said that she's ugly on the inside I meant that she has rotten character. As Headon said she's loathsome.

I know, that's why I said outside as well.

Guys: think about it... who have we seen lie, cheat, swindle and kidnap more than she has, eh?

Give you a hint: blue. And, I'm not talking Ran and Hachuling Not-A-Koon, here. Don't kid yourselves: Rachel and Agero are quite a bit alike. He's just prettier and has far more practice at being a Manipulative Bastard, thanks to the family background.

Beware the trap SIU is probably setting up: Rachel may not be a nice girl. But, she's not evil incarnate. She just happens to have a stalker you find to be a really nice guy who she tried to get rid of. And, he's got some major flaws himself, if you look.

From other character's perspectives, Agero would win the "horrible person" prize over her: her deceits are mainly aimed at one person for one reason (yeah: the Tower politics mean nothing to her). His? Are a lot less discriminating and very wide-ranging.

I don't really hate Rachel, but I vastly prefer Koon because the guy's actually competent. Rachel's one trick still had her heavily rely on Headon, gorgeous redhead with an eyepatch, etc.

SIU's really improved his colouring skills. He used to be quite awful at it, but now the colouring in TOG looks really pretty nice.

HmmmHmmm: the raw is gorgeous to look at. Can't wait for the translation.

I can translate it, if anyone is feeling impatient.

Okay… Rachel's crazy. That makes things a whole lot more interesting.

And the difference between Koon and Rachel is that everything Koon did was basically for the benefit of others he liked. See Maria. See how he went through all that effort to help Rachel and Baam. That's caring, that's a kind of loyalty.

Rachel killed Baam, out of ambition, jealousy and fear (is how I see it). I've been a Rachel defender until it became obvious that Rachel was a little too comfortable with how things were, but Koon was always way cooler than Rachel.

I still don't hate the little bitch. And, she is one, don't get me wrong. We still don't have her side of the story, at all. And, for all she's taking leaves out of the Villain side of the character sheet deranged laughter is not a good look, girlfriend, she could still be an anti-... either hero or villain. I'm not sure which, yet.

Agreeing with Euo, here. It's very rare for me to be able to keep up any level of sustained in-story hatred for characters with redeeming features.

And honestly, Rachel isn't any worse than, say, Ho or Nia. Who, interestingly enough, were the two most important characters to be killed off, so there might be something there.

Well, there is a translation out.

...dang Koon (or SIU). Never have such cruel words made me shed Manly Tears.

And I mean exactly that. The more I think about it, the more I want to cry.

Agero is not in a good place (I've started calling him that, what with all the other Koons and ex-Koons we now have dotting the place). How he deals with it will define his own anti- status, to my mind. Yeah: he and Rachel make a wonderful pair. Can I ship them? Relationships based on hate can be just as... fascinating to watch. From a distance.
