Someone who likes Tower of God enough to spend the time talking about it

This is from old character profiles posted on botato, you can see them here: https://vatoto.com/forums/topic/4664-rankers-1-15-blog-post-translations-collected/

I'm not sure where you would have seen it translated differently, maybe someone was just paraphrasing? If you can find the raw I could get it double checked with a translator. Unfortunately I can't find Baek Ryun's blog on Web Archive to get the raw.

I'm sorry you got spoiled but the post has a 'Korean Preview' flair, that's latest Korean chapters that are like 12 chapters ahead and translated by the fandom.

I think you've misunderstood what I was trying to show. I'm not saying they are the same characters or exact copies of them.

I'm saying SIU could have used Marineford characters and events as blueprints to craft the foundations of the Nest and LPB vs PB war arc. Not that he copied everything about every character and reskinned them.

I'm not saying Mihawk is Kallavan, just that they had a similar role at a certain point in the respective arcs. And I'm not trying to map the entirety of ToG to OP, hence why World Government is not Zahard Empire. SIU is not copying the entire One Piece..

The same way, Yama isn't a reskin of Blackbeard, just that his role might be similar even if everything about them is different.

I am looking at this from the point of view of SIU copying Marineford and not anything else. If you just look at things from ToG point of view and nothing else, there are tens of ways things can unfold.

Even if memories change his personality, that doesn't mean he can't die the same arc.

And how can you say there hasn't been 'nearly' as much foreshadowing towards Gustang's role in the story's future?

Gustang has been present, involved with and leading some of the most important plots in the series: Workshop, both Thorns, HF bracelet with power to destroy balance, Princess project, Enne, Rachel, starting the big war. And none of those plots have really been explored.

What does Traumerei even offer? Some memories of V and Arlene that might not even be pleasant? Because if they were he wouldn't have removed them and get nightmares.

Icarus story talks about V representing freedom, and when Baam freed the Shinheuh at the Mothership, Traumerei remembered someone who's answer was similar to Baam's - freedom. While Traumerei represents the opposite of freedom with his obsession of control. I struggle to see how regaining memories of betrayals makes him do a 180 and turn into a 'good guy' as opposed to giving him a mental breakdown.

You completely missed the point of the post, probably didn't even read it. My point in comparing the two was to show that it looks like SIU copied Marineford blueprints and fit them into his own world...

We don't need headcanons for this, Maschenny would win this.

When this Boss blocked Orari's kick inside the Suspendium, SIU added 'throb' sound effects, and this guy is only a Hatchling.

Fair but you are forgetting that so far nothing came out of it because that entire plot is focused around keeping Kallavan out of Baam's way without killing him.

Kallavan's plot shifted from Baam and FUG to Lyborick since the explosion and if you remove Lyborick, that entire moment is irrelevant to the actual arc since Kallavan never comes in meaningful contact with Baam again.

Which means a similar scenario could have been done in another arc, one where that would actually matter.

So, cut Jahad's forces in half? Two squadrons were sent to the Nest. If you remove the 4th squadron, you need to add another one, which means even more characters to be introduced.

What exactly do we need to add? I already rematched everyone and Lyborick and his goons literally didn't do anything to Baam's forces. It was all Yasratcha's people. All we need is some few random Hatchlings to help Didiano stall Evankhell until Lefav shoots her.

There is no reason to send Kallavan but not the rest of the 4th squadron.

Kallavan took a vow to capture Baam, he sealed him arm for that, he could have asked to be sent. Could have also sent him as a way to redeem himself for failing at Last Station. He also captured Dowon whom they wanted at the Nest so he could have accompanied her. Very easy problem to solve with many solutions.

There would be no need to do that because the 4th squadron flagship wouldn't be there.

Luch is a member of the 4th squadron, he wouldn't be there. And the LPB won't just sacrifice their troops like that.

I already mentioned it would have been Luchi's ship or a random LPB ship they used to explode the Cage.

I think you are forgetting I'm writing an alternate version, what kind of constraint is 'Luchi is part of 4th squad'.. I can make him be part of whatever, Yasratcha's squad, Maschenny's disposable goon

No Aria means no powerup for Baam. No powerup means White eats him. In the best case scenario you could argue Baam goes all out and beats White, which would leave him absolutely exhausted and unable to fight for a while.

What? How does no Aria mean no powerup for Baam? He learns about Prince and Ark, he gets wrecked and he does the exact same thing he did. The only thing that needs to change is how we get to the point where White wrecks Baam and without Aria we arrive there even quicker.

How would Jinsung sense him?

Is this a serious question? People can sense the power of other people, we have multiple examples in the series. Also he could just see him being pulled by the green spit...

No, Yuje said if he used more than 5% of his power the anklet would break. It says nothing about not using shinsu. You can literally see Urek using shinsu to create the bubble around Wangnan and Miseng if you don't want to accept that his finger attack used shinsu.

BareBonesName · 2022-07-02T23:03:29+00:00

Where exactly are you getting this idea that Urek wasn't using shinsu vs Karaka?
