My theory is that he entered directly in the 43rd floor, killed the administrator, left the thorn and got out of the tower the same way he got in. Then, seeing the administrator dead, they assumed he was a ranker because someone who hasn't climbed to the top yet wouldn't be able to do that. They probably thought he was a ranker no one had ever seen and that he went into hiding, since no one seems to know a way out of the tower. Who knows, he might even be inside to this day.
@@blessedisyou Some people left the floor as Enryu attacked, but my guess is that no one really knows what he looks like or even his name, since he probably didn't say it. So SIU drew him and everything to show the readers and such, but to the people in the tower, Enryu is almost like someone from a fairy tale and was given the title of ranker because of what he did.
@Hecktor RhyanM Okay, I didn't know that. So that's how they know what happened. They might know what he looks like as well. But still, I think no one knows his real name or has ever seen him before. So my theory still makes sense to me, thinking that no one knows who he is and assumed he was a ranker because of what he did.
Pretty sure they just slapped a rank on him for the feat alone. Seems heavily implied that he just entered the tower directly to the 43rd floor, fucked shit up, then left. Simply gazing upon him gave people powers, so him climbing the tower normally wouldn't haven't been unnoticed by Zahard.
What really happened : Enryu after killing an admin : "Hello ranking administration office, I dont want to waste my time and climb the tower, just give me a rank and you all survive" RAO : "are you crazy ? you must be joking,yo didnt climb the tower, no rank for you " Enryu : start making red arrows RAO : "its just a prank bro, we give you rank 2 is that okay?"
i think its all but confirmed that he directly entered the 43rd floor, when he appears you see a massive door opening behind him in the chapter he fights the administrator. but then again we have never seen how the transition btwn floors works
1- Urek used spatial distortion to teleport on the floor of death 2- Gustang was fully aware of this ability and spoke of the consequences of a poor execution, implying he (and possibly other family heads) also possess this ability 3- Headon teleports between different floors. Throughout the tower. Inner tower, middle area, outer tower ===Irregulars may have the ability to teleport between floors like Headon. Not just from one part of a single floor to another like we saw with Urek Enryu just teleported like Headon. Maybe Headon even helped Enryu. Headon is a villain in ToG
Also, if he is the reason for the Red Witches, who can also move from floor to floor without the need to pass tests, then surely he can move floors even easier.
@3xr959 I guess calling Headon a villian is making an assumption. But Headon has done villinous things like making all the clones of White a regular after he lost to the Arie princess on the hell train. Makes no sense since he was already a ranker... Also let Rachel climb the tower even though she wasn't the one who opened the door.
@@williambloom350 can headon really decide whether a irregular can move floors? I know Rachel is weak and even bam was weak in that position but I actually don't think headon can 100% deny whether an irregular can go up a floor or enter the tower. I think that's definitely why he gave bam such a hard test.
@@User_95168 out of nowhere this just got recommended to me, so maybe it was the same for hani ben. Either way let us all gather and indulge in more ToG content
To be honest, I am starting to get worried for tower of god… I’m worried that TOG may end up like the manhwa HCLW(Hardcore Leveling Warrior) in the fact that they may rush the ending of the story leaving all these questions like this one unanswered, because it started to get hard for me personally to keep track of all these unanswered questions, and I feel SIU may also loose track if he is not careful with this ever expanding plot.
To me there is too much left to cover. I think SIU will have to focus on certain aspects if he wants to finish it. Now we have all the other family heads, with lots of other questions. SIU made the tower massive which was good early on but now it would become impossible for him to cover everything in his condition in a reasonable amount of time before he retires (which I think could be in as soon as mabye 3-4 years unfortunately)
HCLW has a spin off (prequel) called “X & Ash” that takes place a time long before players were a thing so it might answer some unresolved lore questions Perhaps like HCLW Tower of God may find itself to have some of its questions resolved in spin offs.
I don't think the story ends before hitting 1000 chapters, my guess is around 1200. Honestly, it feels like there's a lot left to cover, but the stakes are getting higher everytime. This next arc will focus on the Jahad princesses and Traumerei most likely, so I wouldn't be surprised to see another family head joining in. SIU can't afford to have a sepparate and long arc for each family head, so they'll have to share or just won't appear at all (I'm going with the first option). Since the war with the Po Bidau family has basically begun already, maybe we'll see 3 or even 4 family heads in a single arc, which would be awesome. That said, I really think this could be a complete story if it reaches 1000 chapters. The only problem with this is what's after defeating Jahad and going beyond the 134th floor could be another long story.
@@jonny7444 he will not retire so soon add he wanted new assistant for something else that tog . Tog is his life story and i bet all my money he will never rush it but put it on hiatus
My theory is that there are other Towers that exist on the outside and Enryu was the equivelent to the Outside God's Great Warrior and climbed to the the top of that Tower with him. That explains his expert use of shinsu. Also when you look at the panel when Enryu show's up on the 43rd floor, there's a massive door behind him, so Enryu broke into the Tower, performed the most ridiculous feat in history, and peaced out. The Ranking Bureau had no choice but to give him rank 1(at the time) due to his actions. There's also the rumour that he can create life so maybe someone actually saw him do this, and that means he did other things in the Tower, or it's just made up to add to his legend.
I think this could have definitely could be or could have been true. All depends on how siu is scaling the whole talse uzer verse now that tog is catching up to him health wise.
Either another Tower or that very Tower from before Jahad came. Either way, I think it's safe to say that it wasn't the first time that Enyru climbed the Tower and he most likely has reached the top of SOME tower.
If i remember correctly it was stated that king zahard even on his best days cant harm an administrator. So I think its logical that they just gave him the tite of a ranked considering the fact that he did something that even zahard couldnt do. I may be lying cuz I havent read the manhwa in so long.
I feel like it’s very obviously worded that Enryu Simply broke into the 43rd flower. He’s literally describes as having “invaded” the tower, killed the administrator, then left. So yes he was given the #2 spot simply off killing was administrator ( which I think is pretty reasonable ). + if he was powerful enough to “invade” the tower it makes sense that he already was strong on the outside hence his ability to invade and kill the administrator. I think the ranking office would give Bam high-ranker status if he killed a administrator or family head. Think about it that’s not the same as killing just a high ranker, when it comes to administrators (or family heads) you are literally killing a nigh-omnipotent being, and a being thought of as literally un-killable in the tower so I don’t think it’s crazy to have the feat be so insane that Enryu is just given a rank.
I hate how ppl say he was given number 2 from the act.. NO HE WAS GIVEN NUMBER 1 for this act. (Phantanium didn’t enter the tower at this point) meaning he was number 1 at that time. Later on he was demoted to number 2
@@VysachuInvade Jahad's castle, filled with High Rankers (and Yuri) kill or traumatize everyone in his way, meeting with Jahad, and dissapear. Yeah, it's not killing an administrator, but it's very impressive anyways.
I always understood it as option B. We do see a door opening behind Enryu as he enters the floor, and it doesn't seem like he'd have any reason to climb the Tower afterwards. A possible reason they didn't grant Bam and Urek a rank despite them proving they're ranker level while still regulars is because they were climbing the Tower and would become rankers soon anyway, so might as well just let them finish and do it formally. With Phantaminum and Enryu they knew these guys were easily ranker level but weren't going to climb the Tower so they just slapped the ranker title on them. What I want to know is if Phantaminum and Enryu's informal ranker status would prevent them from going to areas like the Hidden Floor. Of course with their powers they could almost certainly bypass whatever rule forbids rankers from entering, but I mean ignoring that.
My theory is that Enryu is Bam and there will be a time travel arc in the future when Bam gets much stronger. There isn't much evidence for it except for the insane number of similarities between Enryu and Bam especially since Bam's new attack motif recently changed to rain (Like Enryu's) and they both have the same thorn. I personally want see Bam pull off the ultimate flex of killing an administrator and maybe go back in time and learn more about past events. Would be interesting.
I have a theory. It seems like the administrators and the tower itself has a plot against the Jahads rule and this plot has probably been in motion for ages. After all we have seen the floor guardians save Bam and his friends by teleporting them away on multiple occasions, such as that one time on test floor where the guardian teleported Hansung Yu. This plot against Jahad was probably made because of the damage the great families caused to the tower and its inhabitants such as Rak's race. When it comes to how Enryu appeared on the death floor suddenly, he most likely got teleported there by an administrator because he has a part in the plot too. We have seen a lot of prophecies hinting at a plot like this within the webtoon, like him leaving the thorn for Bam.
Why would the administrators bring him in just for him to kill one of their own and ruin their 'imortal' untouchable image? I don't think they had much of a choice, most likely it's the 'outside god's' own plan for Bam. As for administrator's planning it's been somewhat explained the administrator's bring in irregulars to shake up the tower when things go stale, like jahad and the ten families ruling for centuries, but I think enryu and definitely Phantomine are special cases even outside the towers influence.
@@masterdon187 The Administrator of the Death floor didn't die though, At least not entirely, Red Thryssa is still alive inside of Bam. But what you are saying about outside gods plan could be true aswell. I am just speculating.
@@void3919 death floor admin is still alive ; enryu didn't killed completely ; or maybe he couldn't kill completely ; even after baam absorbed some little bit of power of death floor admin ; guardian is still there and he can ressurect himself by using some other ppl's body as he did to hell joe ...
@@mr.adorihues024 it was stated that the "red thyrssa" is the "child" of the administrator because its what was born when the administrator tried to come back to life or heal itself. when it was possesing hell joe and githing urek, it talked about getting revenge on enryu for humiliating it, not his mother or father, but itself..........so it's the same adminitrator
I'll admit that I don't know a ton of Tower of God lore, but I do think that Enryu climbed the tower. The wiki says that killing the administrator was his most interesting achievement, implying that he does have other achievements that we haven't been told yet.
After 1 year of story progressing... d) I think Enryuu was Arlene's companion during the time when 10 family heads were regulars climbing the tower (like V and Luslec are), thus technically finishing the climb and becoming a ranker. Then left the tower with Arlene maybe. And re-appeared at that one event. His name, from the time he was climbing the tower, was simply forgotten, only to be remembered when he killed the administrator.
There is some connection between Enryu and Arlene. Enryu was pissed on Jahad because he ruined her altar or messed with her stuffs in FoD and Enryu was so pissed that he decided to destroy the administrator just to show he isnt afraid of Jahad, we know how pissed Jahad was when he found that that V and Arlene had child and were married. My wild theory is that Arlene knew Enryu and same goes for Enryu and Enryu was just pissed on Jahad for messing with her stuffs and for that he decided to one tap the administrator to show him he isnt afraid of him.
The way the story is told, and the way the scene is drawn, it seems to imply that he just entered the Tower directly on the floor of death. But I think that there is a strong possibility that he entered, climbed, and kept a low profile. Especially since he has an official rank because that means the ranking office officially recognized this rank for him even though that means saying he is stronger than the literal king of the Tower.
In addition to this, even though we dont know much about him the head of the ranking office seems like the type of person who doesn't give ranks to someone who hasn't fulfilled the requirements to be a ranker.
Im a little worried for TOG cause i love all the mysteries and questions I'm excited to see how they all intertwine and contribute to the story and world, but there are just so many and SIU's health isn't the greatest. Im a little nervous all these questions like Enryu will go unanswered, and the story will be rushed. I hope the best for SIU, his health, and TOG.
My understanding when I read this was that Enryu, enraged by Jahad's desecration of Arlan's alter/home and Jahad's disrespect of the "outside gods", forced open the door to the 43rd floor (directly from the outside) himself and murdered the resident administrator. This was so unprecedented that the rankers/tower dwellers declared him strongest being at the time, placing him above Jahad on the ranking. Edit after finishing video: I don't think you have to climb the tower to become a ranker. Remember the ranker test that Bam took early in season 3 and that Maschenny also took to receive a ranking early despite not having finished climbing yet (perhaps I'm misremembering it). I personally think rankings are given to those recognized as strong or influential, and if they achieve enough they are given higher rankings earlier. So, if Bam were to suddenly kill a family head or administrator, I do think they would suddenly consider him a high ranker. Probably not above Jahad, though, since Enryu has shown killing admins is possible already.
What if enryu was a normal ranker but one day the outer god took control of him and went to the floor of death using his body, as to help Arlene rep.(just some brainstorming but pretty unlikely)
are you sure that the outside god isn't also the god of the tower and has the ability to just send someone in and out because he is the creator of both the tower and the outside world?
U see in the chapter where they show enryu, in the background you see a door opening, meaning he can open the door to any level of the tower like how irregulars do on the first level
Ayo!?? Joe back at it again with more Goated TOG discussion videos! 🐐🔥🔥And also, I think it would most likely be Option B. I mean someone slaying an administrator is such a really legendary feat and at the same time, the ranking bureau would prolly scale Enryu's level to be above high ranker-No above administrator level, It makes more sense. In Adori's case, when she was an A rank regular, she beat a ranker,so the bureau decided to scale Adori's level comparable to a ranker's level. So in other words, Adori's status is A rank regular but her level were comparable to that of a ranker's level during the time she was A rank regular. The ranking bureau not only rank people based on achievements but they also rank people depending on *who* they beat. That's why he became ranker. P. S nice beard btw.
b. It was stated that Zahard is weaker than the Administrator and Zahard isn't capable of defeating an Administrator. That's why he became the second strongest ranker. And Phantaminum is on the first place because of an Axis... It's like everything in the Tower(excluding Baam and Enruu) is the story Phantaminum created and is managing.
Option B, but the thing is, how do people know his name? it's not like he stopped and had a conversation with anyone and introduced himself, they just stated calling him Enryu?
How I see it is that Enryu was indeed the "Outside God"'s postman and so he went in the tower, delivered a prophecy, a weapon and a punishment for the 'corrupted' admin of that said floor. Directly entering at 43rd floor because of the outside god's power so he could fulfill his duty
The most likely thing is that he entered the tower and in maybe a year reached the top of the tower he probably then intended to visit the holy site of Arlene and well preformed a cleansing after what he saw was done to the place
We do know that Arlene managed to leave the tower through unknown means, so perhaps that path was how Enryu entered the tower, on the orders of Arlene (or the outside god) with the Thorns in accordance to Arlene's prophecy. And perhaps the location of Arlene's way out of the tower was on the 43rd, which is why Enryu appeared there so suddenly. That said, I could see Jahad's system giving Enryu ranker status because of his feats. If they didn't give that status to a person who literally killed an entity thought to be unkillable, and massacred an entire floor of rankers before that, then who would qualify as a ranker?
Considering how important being a Ranker is in terms of social status, while it's not to benefit him directly, I think him entering the tower through unknown means, killing a floor Administrator, then peacing out without climbing the tower, and thus being just a 'regular' irregular, wouldn't sit well in the social climate of the tower. They kind of have to label him as a high ranker with such a feat, to make the other high rankers look 'mightier' by association of rank, if that makes sense. Which isn't a huge stretch considering everyone within like the top 15 are basically gods of the tower already, maybe they could lay the smackdown on a floor admin. A regular/citizen or even most rankers wouldn't be able to even guess how that would go.
According to my memory and the rules involving the tower characters of the novel can ask Headon(the caretaker of the tower) when they are on the first floor to take the first test, that they want to take the test to a certain floor they want, isnt it? I remember few instances when characters asked administrators to take a harder test for climbing further than normal
If i remember correctly, it was speculated that Enryus reason for attacking the future Floor of death, was because he couldnt forgive the People and Jahad, for building a shrine/temple to worship Jahad in the floor which used to be Arlenes home. So I would say he became a ranker the normal method, before he Attacked the floor of death
Another question i want to ask How did the people saw enryu know his name like the only thing he said is "Those of you who believe in the false king, shall stay here and face death" Like how do people know his name is "ENRYU" Oh and my thoughts about enryu being called High Ranker is like Phantaminum, he just appeared in jahad's castle and murder the high rankers of jahad. Meet jahad and left then becomes the Rank1 highest ranker.
If you go to the pannel where it shows enryu in the sky you can clearly see the same tower doors opened behind him as the same doors when bam entered and any mention of irregulars entering in S1. So he entered on the 43rd floor and left on the 43rd floor through the doors probably. Which is why he’s never been seen again unlike Arlene who is and irregular immortal that’s been spotted wondering around the the tower according to garam.
i believe it’s option A, remember that the mission of Enryu is to deliver the thorn that would slit the kings throat, he probably only did it then because he was outraged
The way I see it is that Enryu didn’t enter the floor of death the way everyone else does. I may be wrong but I’m pretty sure when he appears there’s a door in the air behind that he came out of. So people just assumed he could enter any floor like this, and thus allowed him to be a ranker. I don’t know if there’s a lot of support for this, but that’s how I see it
How could you forget the Great Urek Mazino, baby! lol Thanks for the interesting video! I really hope we'll hear more about Enryu sometime soon (although I'll settle for any ToG update at this point lol)
As we seen already, bam is now a ranker. You dont need to climb the tower to be a ranker, thats just the traditional way. Bam took the 'ranking test' or something and beat a ranker in a fight which then gave him a ranking, making him a ranker. The feats of Enryu and Phantaminium were so great that they were given rankings as their actions proved themselves without needing to go to a ranking office.
Bam is not a ranked and you do need to reach the top of the tower to be an official ranker. Only op irregulars exist outside that cycle. And bam isn't that level yet
Although I think that it would be pretty reasonable for them to just slap the title of ranker on him for killing the administrator, the theory that I believe is that the way OUT of the tower is through the next floor after zahard's floor (135 i think?), which then leads me to think that he might've just quickly climbed to that floor and got out, making him a ranker in the process has he got to the top. Great video, hopefully TOG returns from hiatus, I love your content around the new chapters when they come out! Now i'll go back to waiting for the Omniscient reader chapters reactions.
I've got a theory ,not about enryu but jahad. Just like bam he has some kind of monster in him ,so probably like bam he was like created by the outside god and then send out to climb the tower . On his way he met other great warriors like any other shonen anime and they decided to follow him . He was the supposed "protagonist " of the "tower story", but he failed to meet the expectations of the axises. Then as a new story starts Bam ' replaced ' Jahad as the new "protagonist ".
He could also have been a regular ranker before he contracted himself with the god outside the tower like how Kallavan was normal before he took his clan's power for himself and it angered enryu seeing the Shire of Arlen who also made a contract with that outside god being desecrated and decided to intervene, or was commanded to intervene.
My theory he was already a ranker that had left the tower. I also believe the outside god sent him in as a regular and brought him out once he became a ranker then sent him back to the floor of death after resurrecting baam
2 things. 1 we know irregulars can simply take the adminstrators test and move up. also if i recall Bam's test from Headon was equivalent to the 20th floor even though he ended up going to the 2nd after i assume Headon has discretion over where to start an irregular. 2. Ghost is in the tower. as far as we know he hasn't passed any floor tests but was able to pop up and face Bam recently. it could be a similar thing
Rachel isn't an irregular & there is no way for her to know abt arlene grace & where bam dead body was buried Rachel is from seolhyagwon middle area where arlene stayed after meeting the outside God, she read arlene diary & got inspired abt outside tower
I think there was a period where he had climbed for a bit cuz I can vaguely remember some characters saying that when he went around the shinsu in the air would become red but if that was the case that specific event would've had to happen on more than one floor at least in order for enough word to spread at least. maybe he pulled a pentaminum and climbed up all the way to talk to Jahad or something but Idk.
I think that he is entered directly at the 43th floor. In his only appearance you can see the “door” behind him. I don’t think that he has climbed the tower to reach officially the title of tanker but people considered him as a tanker for what he did
Maybe he started at the top of the tower and descended to the 43rd floor. Or maybe he entered at the 43rd floor, like perhaps there is an exit/entrance to the tower there.
I always assumed that Enryu had entered the tower long before that, becoming a regular and then a ranker, but either mostly not calling much attention to himself, or his previous history being mostly hidden, until the day he returned to the 43rd floor and caused so much chaos that no one would ever be able to forget him. Is there ever a specific time span given between when Enryu entered the tower and killed the administrator? What if that incident happened thousands of years after he became a ranker?
bit late but yea I think he was directly sent to the floor of death, & I think this was kinda hinted at cause when he showed up in the panel we seen behind Enryu in the distance there is a door/gate almost exactly like the doors to entering the tower. they most likely added him as a ranker due to them not knowing who it was besides the accounts of very small amount of ppl that seen him & survived & they just decided only a High Ranker would even be capable of doing it.
7:56 I dont see why a portal has to be involved and how he would instantly know how to control over 9000 bangs and enough power in each bang to kill an administrator so i dont think b is likely. sure enryu is an irregular but killing an administrator before becoming a ranker seems a bit far fetched but more possible than b. I think a is the most reasonable
In Season2 Eo.241 Webtoons, when Enryu appears there seemed to be a door of some sort opened in the sky behind his shadowy figure probably something similar to spacial distortion that Urek used. I'm not sure why he's considered a ranker, but im leaning towards him recieving that title due to killing the adminstrator an impossible feat that undoubtly deserves one of the highest ranks in the tower.
Red witches have special navigation abilities, so if he is tied to them but so much more powerful maybe he has even more special ability here to navigating or go to places quickly?
IMO, before Enryu enter the tower, the 1st Ranked is Zahard (Phantaminum came after Enryu). And after that event people keep talking and spreading rumors about Enryu is waayy more powerful then Zahard... I pretty sure that's a direct warning and insult to Zahard, but that doesn't change that most people agreed that Enryu is MORE POWERFUL, and because that event is to big and can't be covered up completely, they (Zahard and his army) just let it be, so people don't try to find out the truth (about V and Arlene)... YES, rank changes is just a diversion of issues, they put Enryu the 1st rank and making Zahard go to 2nd place is "hot topic" to covered up the story about Arlene etc.
Yooooo bearded Joe! I feel like maybe it's just a unfixed mistake on the Ranking chart? Because other then that and the possibilities Joe listed it's pretty much unknown, it would make sense if he was a regular climbing the tower at that time that's why not many knew about him but that's impossible because he's deemed the title of ranker so he's at least kinda known before the floor of death but until we know the full picture I'll always think of it as he just appeared and caused chaos then left and is currently in hiding or outside the tower
my guess, from what i know, the tower existed b4 jahard jahard reached sm pre top floor and blocked it thus enryu could be sm sorta senpai to the 10 heads from an upper floor who casually left the tower without completing it
I thought this was already pretty well explained. Enryu was the "herald" of god. Phantaminum is an "axis" which is an author or god of a story. It's heavily implied that Phantaminum is the axis of this particular story making him the god of the outside. Enryu came to the tower to deliver the thorn for Baam to eventually find. That was his only job. The god is the author of the story, he can just write Enryu into whatever floor he wants. Then he just disappears.
I think it's the telephone effect. Things could be over exagerrated or misrepresnted due to time and the sheer amount of people telling the story. We need to talk to someone that was there on that day to get the full picture.
My own personal theory, but follow me for a bit. Putting everything you have said in perspective, enryuu can teleport anywhere he wants in the tower. Baams second thorn can allow him to teleport as happened on the floor of death. So I think enryuu has never climbed the tower but is related to Baam in a way given that he appears when Arlene's idol is desecrated. Enryuu is an irregular so tower rules not applying to him would make sense of his sudden appearance and going as far as even fighting an administrator because anyone who has climbed the tower would automatically know not to mess with an administrator. The whole fact he even didn't fear to challenge one kinda makes me think he has never climbed the tower in the first place.
Enryu could of possibly left for the 134 floor and is hiding waiting to go up more so he can leave. Or enryu I first appeared on the 134 floor and used the teleporting shinsu trick that urek knows to go down to the 43rd. It's one of those logic loops that there are technically 100s of answers for every problem with it. Like the outside god being an axis and writing knowledge into enryu's head or him being a self insert. Or him being someone able to watch the goings on of the tower from the outside. Could also be a plot twist that 9999 bangs weren't shinsu at all and that's just what people thought because what else it could it be. The easiest question to answer here though is him becoming a ranked, similar to the slayers passing and becoming a ranker. I doubt all of them were subtle and they were allowed to take the test. He's also a irregular he could also just take the administrator test, we have no idea the opinions of administrators and the 43rd floor admin seemed fairly loyal to the goings on the empire or at least didn't like it's authority challenged. Administrators have varied opinions like the one the second floor and him helping evankhell so it could just be Enryu left and took those tests from the administrators and they testified for his success to which would make him a ranked based on how the 10 great family heads are considered rankers. I for one believe Enryu is still lurking in the tower unable to leave until they continue up pass the 134 floor or perhaps he himself is partially conscious in each thorn fragment and in a similar form to white hiding on hell train, went into hiding on a upper floor.
Correct me if I’m wrong but if enryu was an irregular he probably should have met the god of gaurdians on the train. I’m pretty sure he never said that he met enryu. This could mean that as a regular enryu just never took the train to climb, but it seems like the train is one of the only ways to get to the floor of death. If he never took the train then he probably went some unknown way meaning that he never climbed the tower and he was just given ranker cause he’s scary.
If arlen really said bam is monster the why did rachel wanted everything that happned to him like getting thorn,being the child arlen talked bout,etc happen to her. I think she just said that to make bam to come after her for forever
It's not she wanted just the thorn not his destiny and baam is a monster sorry with all shit happened in nest ,he is not a good guy and his power are weird asf
this is really confusing but i definitely belive he entered the tower at the Floor of Death, if you look back at the drawings, enryu arrived on the floor through a door, which could be the tower's one. If i remember correctly, the door pattern looks almost the same as the one baam openned
arlen made a deal with the outside god for whatever bam is in exchange for something and enryu was sent to that floor to carry out x mission from the outside god that was in direct response to everything that happen with arlen bam and rachel. enryu also just straight teleported to the 43rd anyway.
My theory is that Enryu or the outside god used his ability to open the tower through the floor of death, because that god is an Axis. They are already established OPs in and out of the tower. They gave him the title ranker because 1. who tf enters the tower in the 43F fr (we saw the opened door behind him in one panel), even Jahad and the FH started on the 1F. This also applies to Phantaminum. He opened the tower and entered the floor of Jahad just to bully him. I can't imagine Phanta started on the 1F either like the other irregulars. Bam and Urek and the 13 GW, they all entered the 1F, but these two just opened the door on specific floors. 2. Not only did he open the door, but he also left the tower using it. I don't believe he continued climbing just to get a ranker status brrr 😂 he just came like some hero to fight Jahad's army, and after bullying them, just like Phantaminum, left the floor like a boss. 3. This is just a joke, but maybe they gave them (Enryu and Phantaminum) the ranker status because they are the king's and fh's worst nightmare 😂 Since then, all irregulars are branded evil. Look at how Jahad and the FH see and treat Bam! Wtf he's just a regular! But these 2 boss characters imprinted too much terror to Jahad, that the ranking committee decided, nah they must be above the king of the tower bro. I guess Jahad put a lot of booby trap on his windows and doors in fear that they would enter his chamber someday lol. Great video anyway! Thanks ❤️😘
I think the way that makes the most sense is shortly after bam is put in the cave enryu is sent in the tower on the outside gods order to deliver the thorn Than him knowing it’ll take a long time climbs the tower for and becomes a ranker waiting for bam Sees the desecration and decides to step in fights the administrator and dips
Hedon is what's missing in your observation. If Enryu was sent directly by the outer god, then it stands to reason that he was already THIS powerful even before entering the tower. There would be no need for him to take tests, a deal could've been made with Hedan on the very first floor. Something along the lines of, "grant me free access to most floors with your authority as an administrator, in exchange for 1 favour down the line" or something like that... Hedon seems like the type who would love to have the outside god owe him one. And so for maybe a few days or weeks, Enryu could move between floors easily, almost as if he had already cleared those floors. That, or the outer god has some influence on the tower itself. It may not be able to invade the tower normally, but by sending in its creation (Enryu), he could use the "irregular" status as a loophole to just bypass the logic/laws of the tower entirely and just move between floors without needing to take any tests. Surely the outer god's knowledge would be way beyond that of Gustang for example, who we know can just enter floors without being detected immediately. Enryu should be capable of such feats but on steroids. It could be a case where he killed the admin before even the other admins caught on that something was wrong in the tower. Look at it this way, the admins test regulars and deem them worthy to keep climbing right?? Well, who decided that a mere admin could judge the worthiness of a being that does a god's bidden?? In that sense, Enryu isn't below the admins and the fact that he killed one so easily confirms this notion that THEY aren't worthy to judge him with their childish tests. I don't think it's a portal per se, more like Enryu has similar abilities to the admins themselves. He can "swim"(navigate) in deeper "waters"(shinsu) naturally without needing to learn control like other irregulars. Imagine if Bam on the first floor had encountered Leviathan for example, he would've swallowed him still... because his "abyss"-like existence has always been the same, all he keeps doing is learning HOW to get better at controlling his innate power. Knowledge is key... For a being like Enryu, it makes sense that he'd already be strong from day 1 of entering the tower because he can comprehend shinsu far better than all other rankers besides Pentaminum who is like him anyways. Technically, they're all "irregulars" in the eyes of regulars but realistically, Enryu and Pentaminum are completely different classes of irregular.
My theory is that he entered directly in the 43rd floor, killed the administrator, left the thorn and got out of the tower the same way he got in. Then, seeing the administrator dead, they assumed he was a ranker because someone who hasn't climbed to the top yet wouldn't be able to do that. They probably thought he was a ranker no one had ever seen and that he went into hiding, since no one seems to know a way out of the tower. Who knows, he might even be inside to this day.
i thought that much was obvious
but dont people know enryu.
@@blessedisyou Some people left the floor as Enryu attacked, but my guess is that no one really knows what he looks like or even his name, since he probably didn't say it. So SIU drew him and everything to show the readers and such, but to the people in the tower, Enryu is almost like someone from a fairy tale and was given the title of ranker because of what he did.
@Hecktor RhyanM Okay, I didn't know that. So that's how they know what happened. They might know what he looks like as well. But still, I think no one knows his real name or has ever seen him before. So my theory still makes sense to me, thinking that no one knows who he is and assumed he was a ranker because of what he did.
43?
Pretty sure they just slapped a rank on him for the feat alone. Seems heavily implied that he just entered the tower directly to the 43rd floor, fucked shit up, then left. Simply gazing upon him gave people powers, so him climbing the tower normally wouldn't haven't been unnoticed by Zahard.
I doubt he cares if he is noticed or unnoticed by him when he didnt even care about the admin
@Solarfried ah gotcha, i could be wrong but I heard headon is looking for him
What really happened :
Enryu after killing an admin :
"Hello ranking administration office, I dont want to waste my time and climb the tower, just give me a rank and you all survive"
RAO : "are you crazy ? you must be joking,yo didnt climb the tower, no rank for you "
Enryu : start making red arrows
RAO : "its just a prank bro, we give you rank 2 is that okay?"
@@PredragPetkovic-wp4pr I think it would have been #1 until phant took that spot from him
i think its all but confirmed that he directly entered the 43rd floor, when he appears you see a massive door opening behind him in the chapter he fights the administrator.
but then again we have never seen how the transition btwn floors works
1- Urek used spatial distortion to teleport on the floor of death
2- Gustang was fully aware of this ability and spoke of the consequences of a poor execution, implying he (and possibly other family heads) also possess this ability
3- Headon teleports between different floors. Throughout the tower. Inner tower, middle area, outer tower
===Irregulars may have the ability to teleport between floors like Headon. Not just from one part of a single floor to another like we saw with Urek
Enryu just teleported like Headon. Maybe Headon even helped Enryu. Headon is a villain in ToG
Also, if he is the reason for the Red Witches, who can also move from floor to floor without the need to pass tests, then surely he can move floors even easier.
@3xr959 I guess calling Headon a villian is making an assumption. But Headon has done villinous things like making all the clones of White a regular after he lost to the Arie princess on the hell train. Makes no sense since he was already a ranker...
Also let Rachel climb the tower even though she wasn't the one who opened the door.
If headon is a villain, then he isn't affiliated with Enryu, since he his "with" Bam
@@williambloom350 can headon really decide whether a irregular can move floors? I know Rachel is weak and even bam was weak in that position but I actually don't think headon can 100% deny whether an irregular can go up a floor or enter the tower. I think that's definitely why he gave bam such a hard test.
is Headon really a villian? He just look like one and behave like one but for now he did nothing wrong.
When Enryu entered the tower you could see a door behind him implying he just showed up on the floor of death and did not really climb
People do enter and exit through doors... So its very possible he just entered like everyone else..
@@princeharris2660I don't think you understand what showing up on a high floor using a door means. Name 1 character that does this.

@@User_95168 out of nowhere this just got recommended to me, so maybe it was the same for hani ben. Either way let us all gather and indulge in more ToG content
@@Jack-jj3zs yessirr 🙏
To be honest, I am starting to get worried for tower of god… I’m worried that TOG may end up like the manhwa HCLW(Hardcore Leveling Warrior) in the fact that they may rush the ending of the story leaving all these questions like this one unanswered, because it started to get hard for me personally to keep track of all these unanswered questions, and I feel SIU may also loose track if he is not careful with this ever expanding plot.
To me there is too much left to cover. I think SIU will have to focus on certain aspects if he wants to finish it. Now we have all the other family heads, with lots of other questions. SIU made the tower massive which was good early on but now it would become impossible for him to cover everything in his condition in a reasonable amount of time before he retires (which I think could be in as soon as mabye 3-4 years unfortunately)
@@jonny7444 Just like Oda
HCLW has a spin off (prequel) called “X & Ash” that takes place a time long before players were a thing so it might answer some unresolved lore questions
Perhaps like HCLW Tower of God may find itself to have some of its questions resolved in spin offs.
I don't think the story ends before hitting 1000 chapters, my guess is around 1200. Honestly, it feels like there's a lot left to cover, but the stakes are getting higher everytime. This next arc will focus on the Jahad princesses and Traumerei most likely, so I wouldn't be surprised to see another family head joining in. SIU can't afford to have a sepparate and long arc for each family head, so they'll have to share or just won't appear at all (I'm going with the first option). Since the war with the Po Bidau family has basically begun already, maybe we'll see 3 or even 4 family heads in a single arc, which would be awesome. That said, I really think this could be a complete story if it reaches 1000 chapters. The only problem with this is what's after defeating Jahad and going beyond the 134th floor could be another long story.
@@jonny7444 he will not retire so soon add he wanted new assistant for something else that tog .
Tog is his life story and i bet all my money he will never rush it but put it on hiatus
My theory is that there are other Towers that exist on the outside and Enryu was the equivelent to the Outside God's Great Warrior and climbed to the the top of that Tower with him. That explains his expert use of shinsu. Also when you look at the panel when Enryu show's up on the 43rd floor, there's a massive door behind him, so Enryu broke into the Tower, performed the most ridiculous feat in history, and peaced out. The Ranking Bureau had no choice but to give him rank 1(at the time) due to his actions. There's also the rumour that he can create life so maybe someone actually saw him do this, and that means he did other things in the Tower, or it's just made up to add to his legend.
I think this could have definitely could be or could have been true. All depends on how siu is scaling the whole talse uzer verse now that tog is catching up to him health wise.
Either another Tower or that very Tower from before Jahad came. Either way, I think it's safe to say that it wasn't the first time that Enyru climbed the Tower and he most likely has reached the top of SOME tower.
Reading TOG and watching your videos about it have been my favorite study breaks from med school. Thank you for your finally making another!
If i remember correctly it was stated that king zahard even on his best days cant harm an administrator. So I think its logical that they just gave him the tite of a ranked considering the fact that he did something that even zahard couldnt do. I may be lying cuz I havent read the manhwa in so long.
I feel like it’s very obviously worded that Enryu Simply broke into the 43rd flower. He’s literally describes as having “invaded” the tower, killed the administrator, then left. So yes he was given the #2 spot simply off killing was administrator ( which I think is pretty reasonable ). + if he was powerful enough to “invade” the tower it makes sense that he already was strong on the outside hence his ability to invade and kill the administrator.
I think the ranking office would give Bam high-ranker status if he killed a administrator or family head. Think about it that’s not the same as killing just a high ranker, when it comes to administrators (or family heads) you are literally killing a nigh-omnipotent being, and a being thought of as literally un-killable in the tower so I don’t think it’s crazy to have the feat be so insane that Enryu is just given a rank.
Yeah I think the same too, it's pretty self explanatory.
I hate how ppl say he was given number 2 from the act.. NO HE WAS GIVEN NUMBER 1 for this act. (Phantanium didn’t enter the tower at this point) meaning he was number 1 at that time. Later on he was demoted to number 2
@@themob087What did the number 1 do to get Enryū demoted?
@@VysachuInvade Jahad's castle, filled with High Rankers (and Yuri) kill or traumatize everyone in his way, meeting with Jahad, and dissapear. Yeah, it's not killing an administrator, but it's very impressive anyways.
I always understood it as option B. We do see a door opening behind Enryu as he enters the floor, and it doesn't seem like he'd have any reason to climb the Tower afterwards. A possible reason they didn't grant Bam and Urek a rank despite them proving they're ranker level while still regulars is because they were climbing the Tower and would become rankers soon anyway, so might as well just let them finish and do it formally. With Phantaminum and Enryu they knew these guys were easily ranker level but weren't going to climb the Tower so they just slapped the ranker title on them.
What I want to know is if Phantaminum and Enryu's informal ranker status would prevent them from going to areas like the Hidden Floor. Of course with their powers they could almost certainly bypass whatever rule forbids rankers from entering, but I mean ignoring that.
Also it would be cool to see a video on your top 5 or so favorite lines/quotes from the webtoon.
My theory is that Enryu is Bam and there will be a time travel arc in the future when Bam gets much stronger. There isn't much evidence for it except for the insane number of similarities between Enryu and Bam especially since Bam's new attack motif recently changed to rain (Like Enryu's) and they both have the same thorn. I personally want see Bam pull off the ultimate flex of killing an administrator and maybe go back in time and learn more about past events. Would be interesting.
On one of the panels that shows Enryu, there is a floating door behind him implying he entered on that floor.
Cool to see you are doing a kind of lore video like the old days! I hope we can get more videos like that!
I'm glad to see you back with a new video, Joe! The beard is awesome lmaoo bros been playing god of war ragnarok
I have a theory. It seems like the administrators and the tower itself has a plot against the Jahads rule and this plot has probably been in motion for ages. After all we have seen the floor guardians save Bam and his friends by teleporting them away on multiple occasions, such as that one time on test floor where the guardian teleported Hansung Yu. This plot against Jahad was probably made because of the damage the great families caused to the tower and its inhabitants such as Rak's race. When it comes to how Enryu appeared on the death floor suddenly, he most likely got teleported there by an administrator because he has a part in the plot too. We have seen a lot of prophecies hinting at a plot like this within the webtoon, like him leaving the thorn for Bam.
Why would the administrators bring him in just for him to kill one of their own and ruin their 'imortal' untouchable image? I don't think they had much of a choice, most likely it's the 'outside god's' own plan for Bam.
As for administrator's planning it's been somewhat explained the administrator's bring in irregulars to shake up the tower when things go stale, like jahad and the ten families ruling for centuries, but I think enryu and definitely Phantomine are special cases even outside the towers influence.
@@masterdon187 The Administrator of the Death floor didn't die though, At least not entirely, Red Thryssa is still alive inside of Bam. But what you are saying about outside gods plan could be true aswell. I am just speculating.
@@void3919 death floor admin is still alive ; enryu didn't killed completely ; or maybe he couldn't kill completely ; even after baam absorbed some little bit of power of death floor admin ; guardian is still there and he can ressurect himself by using some other ppl's body as he did to hell joe ...
Actually the administrator is dead. That thing on bam is it's child who survived enryu's attack
@@mr.adorihues024 it was stated that the "red thyrssa" is the "child" of the administrator because its what was born when the administrator tried to come back to life or heal itself. when it was possesing hell joe and githing urek, it talked about getting revenge on enryu for humiliating it, not his mother or father, but itself..........so it's the same adminitrator
I'll admit that I don't know a ton of Tower of God lore, but I do think that Enryu climbed the tower. The wiki says that killing the administrator was his most interesting achievement, implying that he does have other achievements that we haven't been told yet.
After 1 year of story progressing... d) I think Enryuu was Arlene's companion during the time when 10 family heads were regulars climbing the tower (like V and Luslec are), thus technically finishing the climb and becoming a ranker. Then left the tower with Arlene maybe. And re-appeared at that one event. His name, from the time he was climbing the tower, was simply forgotten, only to be remembered when he killed the administrator.
There is some connection between Enryu and Arlene. Enryu was pissed on Jahad because he ruined her altar or messed with her stuffs in FoD and Enryu was so pissed that he decided to destroy the administrator just to show he isnt afraid of Jahad, we know how pissed Jahad was when he found that that V and Arlene had child and were married. My wild theory is that Arlene knew Enryu and same goes for Enryu and Enryu was just pissed on Jahad for messing with her stuffs and for that he decided to one tap the administrator to show him he isnt afraid of him.
The way the story is told, and the way the scene is drawn, it seems to imply that he just entered the Tower directly on the floor of death.
But I think that there is a strong possibility that he entered, climbed, and kept a low profile. Especially since he has an official rank because that means the ranking office officially recognized this rank for him even though that means saying he is stronger than the literal king of the Tower.
In addition to this, even though we dont know much about him the head of the ranking office seems like the type of person who doesn't give ranks to someone who hasn't fulfilled the requirements to be a ranker.
I miss Tower of God so much! I really hope SIU is already fine so we can have our weekly TOG live reaction again. :(
Im a little worried for TOG cause i love all the mysteries and questions I'm excited to see how they all intertwine and contribute to the story and world, but there are just so many and SIU's health isn't the greatest. Im a little nervous all these questions like Enryu will go unanswered, and the story will be rushed. I hope the best for SIU, his health, and TOG.
My understanding when I read this was that Enryu, enraged by Jahad's desecration of Arlan's alter/home and Jahad's disrespect of the "outside gods", forced open the door to the 43rd floor (directly from the outside) himself and murdered the resident administrator.
This was so unprecedented that the rankers/tower dwellers declared him strongest being at the time, placing him above Jahad on the ranking.
Edit after finishing video: I don't think you have to climb the tower to become a ranker. Remember the ranker test that Bam took early in season 3 and that Maschenny also took to receive a ranking early despite not having finished climbing yet (perhaps I'm misremembering it). I personally think rankings are given to those recognized as strong or influential, and if they achieve enough they are given higher rankings earlier. So, if Bam were to suddenly kill a family head or administrator, I do think they would suddenly consider him a high ranker. Probably not above Jahad, though, since Enryu has shown killing admins is possible already.
Yay! Glad the ToG vids are back!
Your beard looks great btw!
What if enryu was a normal ranker but one day the outer god took control of him and went to the floor of death using his body, as to help Arlene rep.(just some brainstorming but pretty unlikely)
are you sure that the outside god isn't also the god of the tower and has the ability to just send someone in and out because he is the creator of both the tower and the outside world?
U see in the chapter where they show enryu, in the background you see a door opening, meaning he can open the door to any level of the tower like how irregulars do on the first level
That’s a powerful beard. Could challenge “the finger”
Ayo!?? Joe back at it again with more Goated TOG discussion videos! 🐐🔥🔥And also, I think it would most likely be Option B. I mean someone slaying an administrator is such a really legendary feat and at the same time, the ranking bureau would prolly scale Enryu's level to be above high ranker-No above administrator level, It makes more sense. In Adori's case, when she was an A rank regular, she beat a ranker,so the bureau decided to scale Adori's level comparable to a ranker's level. So in other words, Adori's status is A rank regular but her level were comparable to that of a ranker's level during the time she was A rank regular.
The ranking bureau not only rank people based on achievements but they also rank people depending on *who* they beat. That's why he became ranker.
P. S nice beard btw.
b. It was stated that Zahard is weaker than the Administrator and Zahard isn't capable of defeating an Administrator. That's why he became the second strongest ranker. And Phantaminum is on the first place because of an Axis... It's like everything in the Tower(excluding Baam and Enruu) is the story Phantaminum created and is managing.
Oh my god Joe you're back welcome back we missed you!
love you bunches joe, hope all is well with you and your family
Option B, but the thing is, how do people know his name? it's not like he stopped and had a conversation with anyone and introduced himself, they just stated calling him Enryu?
Not "they"
Just garam & maybe family heads
How I see it is that Enryu was indeed the "Outside God"'s postman and so he went in the tower, delivered a prophecy, a weapon and a punishment for the 'corrupted' admin of that said floor.
Directly entering at 43rd floor because of the outside god's power so he could fulfill his duty
LOVE that we're back on TOG vids!!!!
The most likely thing is that he entered the tower and in maybe a year reached the top of the tower he probably then intended to visit the holy site of Arlene and well preformed a cleansing after what he saw was done to the place
If that were the case it wouldn't make any sense tho that Urek's known to be the one who climbed the tower the fastest.
We do know that Arlene managed to leave the tower through unknown means, so perhaps that path was how Enryu entered the tower, on the orders of Arlene (or the outside god) with the Thorns in accordance to Arlene's prophecy. And perhaps the location of Arlene's way out of the tower was on the 43rd, which is why Enryu appeared there so suddenly.
That said, I could see Jahad's system giving Enryu ranker status because of his feats. If they didn't give that status to a person who literally killed an entity thought to be unkillable, and massacred an entire floor of rankers before that, then who would qualify as a ranker?
People who climbed the tower.
Considering how important being a Ranker is in terms of social status, while it's not to benefit him directly, I think him entering the tower through unknown means, killing a floor Administrator, then peacing out without climbing the tower, and thus being just a 'regular' irregular, wouldn't sit well in the social climate of the tower.
They kind of have to label him as a high ranker with such a feat, to make the other high rankers look 'mightier' by association of rank, if that makes sense. Which isn't a huge stretch considering everyone within like the top 15 are basically gods of the tower already, maybe they could lay the smackdown on a floor admin. A regular/citizen or even most rankers wouldn't be able to even guess how that would go.
According to my memory and the rules involving the tower characters of the novel can ask Headon(the caretaker of the tower) when they are on the first floor to take the first test, that they want to take the test to a certain floor they want, isnt it? I remember few instances when characters asked administrators to take a harder test for climbing further than normal
Racheal is not an irregular....heck she isn't even a regular...she was the bait for bam set by that white bunny administrator guy
If i remember correctly, it was speculated that Enryus reason for attacking the future Floor of death, was because he couldnt forgive the People and Jahad, for building a shrine/temple to worship Jahad in the floor which used to be Arlenes home. So I would say he became a ranker the normal method, before he Attacked the floor of death
Another question i want to ask
How did the people saw enryu know his name like the only thing he said is "Those of you who believe in the false king, shall stay here and face death"
Like how do people know his name is "ENRYU"
Oh and my thoughts about enryu being called High Ranker is like Phantaminum, he just appeared in jahad's castle and murder the high rankers of jahad. Meet jahad and left then becomes the Rank1 highest ranker.
A TOG discussion video! Yayz!! I missed these! ^^
If you go to the pannel where it shows enryu in the sky you can clearly see the same tower doors opened behind him as the same doors when bam entered and any mention of irregulars entering in S1. So he entered on the 43rd floor and left on the 43rd floor through the doors probably.
Which is why he’s never been seen again unlike Arlene who is and irregular immortal that’s been spotted wondering around the the tower according to garam.
i believe it’s option A, remember that the mission of Enryu is to deliver the thorn that would slit the kings throat, he probably only did it then because he was outraged
When is ToG gonna come back?!! It and Doom Breaker have been my go-to manhwa for a long long long time... Missing them both
Another thing I wanna state is why can't zahard kill an administrator or come close he does have the black hole shinsu and is an irregular
The way I see it is that Enryu didn’t enter the floor of death the way everyone else does. I may be wrong but I’m pretty sure when he appears there’s a door in the air behind that he came out of. So people just assumed he could enter any floor like this, and thus allowed him to be a ranker. I don’t know if there’s a lot of support for this, but that’s how I see it
Ayo the beard, it's giving me New York's bestseller Vibes! I like It!
How could you forget the Great Urek Mazino, baby! lol Thanks for the interesting video! I really hope we'll hear more about Enryu sometime soon (although I'll settle for any ToG update at this point lol)
Outside god teleported him, and the residents just called him a High Ranker after what he did.
As we seen already, bam is now a ranker. You dont need to climb the tower to be a ranker, thats just the traditional way. Bam took the 'ranking test' or something and beat a ranker in a fight which then gave him a ranking, making him a ranker. The feats of Enryu and Phantaminium were so great that they were given rankings as their actions proved themselves without needing to go to a ranking office.
Bam is not a ranked and you do need to reach the top of the tower to be an official ranker. Only op irregulars exist outside that cycle. And bam isn't that level yet
Although I think that it would be pretty reasonable for them to just slap the title of ranker on him for killing the administrator, the theory that I believe is that the way OUT of the tower is through the next floor after zahard's floor (135 i think?), which then leads me to think that he might've just quickly climbed to that floor and got out, making him a ranker in the process has he got to the top.
Great video, hopefully TOG returns from hiatus, I love your content around the new chapters when they come out! Now i'll go back to waiting for the Omniscient reader chapters reactions.
It’s baack
I've got a theory ,not about enryu but jahad. Just like bam he has some kind of monster in him ,so probably like bam he was like created by the outside god and then send out to climb the tower . On his way he met other great warriors like any other shonen anime and they decided to follow him . He was the supposed "protagonist " of the "tower story", but he failed to meet the expectations of the axises. Then as a new story starts Bam ' replaced ' Jahad as the new "protagonist ".
He could also have been a regular ranker before he contracted himself with the god outside the tower like how Kallavan was normal before he took his clan's power for himself and it angered enryu seeing the Shire of Arlen who also made a contract with that outside god being desecrated and decided to intervene, or was commanded to intervene.
Joe you're alive!!! I haven't seen yout theories and discussion for so long!!! 😂
My theory he was already a ranker that had left the tower. I also believe the outside god sent him in as a regular and brought him out once he became a ranker then sent him back to the floor of death after resurrecting baam
2 things. 1 we know irregulars can simply take the adminstrators test and move up. also if i recall Bam's test from Headon was equivalent to the 20th floor even though he ended up going to the 2nd after i assume Headon has discretion over where to start an irregular. 2. Ghost is in the tower. as far as we know he hasn't passed any floor tests but was able to pop up and face Bam recently. it could be a similar thing
Rachel isn't an irregular & there is no way for her to know abt arlene grace & where bam dead body was buried
Rachel is from seolhyagwon middle area where arlene stayed after meeting the outside God, she read arlene diary & got inspired abt outside tower
I think there was a period where he had climbed for a bit cuz I can vaguely remember some characters saying that when he went around the shinsu in the air would become red but if that was the case that specific event would've had to happen on more than one floor at least in order for enough word to spread at least. maybe he pulled a pentaminum and climbed up all the way to talk to Jahad or something but Idk.
I hadn’t watched your video and i decided to look since it was on my recommendation and when i clicked it
Your beard and mustache really shocked me😂
I always thought it was choice B, he teleported into the floor and slayed the admin, and was given the title of honorary ranker
Loving the video and your beard
I think that he is entered directly at the 43th floor. In his only appearance you can see the “door” behind him. I don’t think that he has climbed the tower to reach officially the title of tanker but people considered him as a tanker for what he did
Maybe he started at the top of the tower and descended to the 43rd floor. Or maybe he entered at the 43rd floor, like perhaps there is an exit/entrance to the tower there.
good to see tog video again!
I always assumed that Enryu had entered the tower long before that, becoming a regular and then a ranker, but either mostly not calling much attention to himself, or his previous history being mostly hidden, until the day he returned to the 43rd floor and caused so much chaos that no one would ever be able to forget him. Is there ever a specific time span given between when Enryu entered the tower and killed the administrator? What if that incident happened thousands of years after he became a ranker?
bit late but yea I think he was directly sent to the floor of death, & I think this was kinda hinted at cause when he showed up in the panel we seen behind Enryu in the distance there is a door/gate almost exactly like the doors to entering the tower. they most likely added him as a ranker due to them not knowing who it was besides the accounts of very small amount of ppl that seen him & survived & they just decided only a High Ranker would even be capable of doing it.
what if irregulars are just humans ran over by a truck and reincarnated in the tower? and what if phantaminum is truck-kun?
7:56 I dont see why a portal has to be involved and how he would instantly know how to control over 9000 bangs and enough power in each bang to kill an administrator so i dont think b is likely. sure enryu is an irregular but killing an administrator before becoming a ranker seems a bit far fetched but more possible than b. I think a is the most reasonable
Bro I haven't even watched the video yet just wanna say, I love, I mean LOVE the beard!!! Keep it going man it's a good look on you!!!
damn dr DADDYhead with that beard ! lookin good king !!
In Season2 Eo.241 Webtoons, when Enryu appears there seemed to be a door of some sort opened in the sky behind his shadowy figure probably something similar to spacial distortion that Urek used. I'm not sure why he's considered a ranker, but im leaning towards him recieving that title due to killing the adminstrator an impossible feat that undoubtly deserves one of the highest ranks in the tower.
Red witches have special navigation abilities, so if he is tied to them but so much more powerful maybe he has even more special ability here to navigating or go to places quickly?
IMO, before Enryu enter the tower, the 1st Ranked is Zahard (Phantaminum came after Enryu). And after that event people keep talking and spreading rumors about Enryu is waayy more powerful then Zahard...
I pretty sure that's a direct warning and insult to Zahard, but that doesn't change that most people agreed that Enryu is MORE POWERFUL, and because that event is to big and can't be covered up completely, they (Zahard and his army) just let it be, so people don't try to find out the truth (about V and Arlene)...
YES, rank changes is just a diversion of issues, they put Enryu the 1st rank and making Zahard go to 2nd place is "hot topic" to covered up the story about Arlene etc.
Yooooo bearded Joe! I feel like maybe it's just a unfixed mistake on the Ranking chart? Because other then that and the possibilities Joe listed it's pretty much unknown, it would make sense if he was a regular climbing the tower at that time that's why not many knew about him but that's impossible because he's deemed the title of ranker so he's at least kinda known before the floor of death but until we know the full picture I'll always think of it as he just appeared and caused chaos then left and is currently in hiding or outside the tower
We see the tower's door when Enryu appears (S2E241) which implies to me that he entered the floor of death directly from outside
my guess, from what i know, the tower existed b4 jahard
jahard reached sm pre top floor and blocked it
thus enryu could be sm sorta senpai to the 10 heads from an upper floor who casually left the tower without completing it
Ah yes, Enryu, the Deus ex machina that appeared way too soon in the story just to show Zahard what real power looks like
Option B) outside god sent enryu to the 43rd floor directly just to deliver the thorn
I thought this was already pretty well explained. Enryu was the "herald" of god. Phantaminum is an "axis" which is an author or god of a story. It's heavily implied that Phantaminum is the axis of this particular story making him the god of the outside. Enryu came to the tower to deliver the thorn for Baam to eventually find. That was his only job. The god is the author of the story, he can just write Enryu into whatever floor he wants. Then he just disappears.
It’s been awhile since I was able too tune in for a vid. My boy has become a bearded brother !
I think it's the telephone effect. Things could be over exagerrated or misrepresnted due to time and the sheer amount of people telling the story. We need to talk to someone that was there on that day to get the full picture.
I can also see there being secrets tests for irregulars and taking a way to take a test to get to x floor
My own personal theory, but follow me for a bit.
Putting everything you have said in perspective, enryuu can teleport anywhere he wants in the tower. Baams second thorn can allow him to teleport as happened on the floor of death.
So I think enryuu has never climbed the tower but is related to Baam in a way given that he appears when Arlene's idol is desecrated.
Enryuu is an irregular so tower rules not applying to him would make sense of his sudden appearance and going as far as even fighting an administrator because anyone who has climbed the tower would automatically know not to mess with an administrator.
The whole fact he even didn't fear to challenge one kinda makes me think he has never climbed the tower in the first place.
Enryu could of possibly left for the 134 floor and is hiding waiting to go up more so he can leave. Or enryu I first appeared on the 134 floor and used the teleporting shinsu trick that urek knows to go down to the 43rd.
It's one of those logic loops that there are technically 100s of answers for every problem with it. Like the outside god being an axis and writing knowledge into enryu's head or him being a self insert. Or him being someone able to watch the goings on of the tower from the outside. Could also be a plot twist that 9999 bangs weren't shinsu at all and that's just what people thought because what else it could it be. The easiest question to answer here though is him becoming a ranked, similar to the slayers passing and becoming a ranker. I doubt all of them were subtle and they were allowed to take the test. He's also a irregular he could also just take the administrator test, we have no idea the opinions of administrators and the 43rd floor admin seemed fairly loyal to the goings on the empire or at least didn't like it's authority challenged. Administrators have varied opinions like the one the second floor and him helping evankhell so it could just be Enryu left and took those tests from the administrators and they testified for his success to which would make him a ranked based on how the 10 great family heads are considered rankers. I for one believe Enryu is still lurking in the tower unable to leave until they continue up pass the 134 floor or perhaps he himself is partially conscious in each thorn fragment and in a similar form to white hiding on hell train, went into hiding on a upper floor.
Its cause of second sight potency.
Correct me if I’m wrong but if enryu was an irregular he probably should have met the god of gaurdians on the train. I’m pretty sure he never said that he met enryu. This could mean that as a regular enryu just never took the train to climb, but it seems like the train is one of the only ways to get to the floor of death. If he never took the train then he probably went some unknown way meaning that he never climbed the tower and he was just given ranker cause he’s scary.
He showed up to deliver the thorn to baam. I think penta showed up to tell jahad that his reign is over. On reddit theres a good explanation of this
If arlen really said bam is monster the why did rachel wanted everything that happned to him like getting thorn,being the child arlen talked bout,etc happen to her. I think she just said that to make bam to come after her for forever
It's not she wanted just the thorn not his destiny and baam is a monster sorry with all shit happened in nest ,he is not a good guy and his power are weird asf
What if Enryu is the Guide of the Family Leader Group?
Can't you see a door on one of the panels when Enryu appears? Like it's faint but it's there in the background
this is really confusing but i definitely belive he entered the tower at the Floor of Death, if you look back at the drawings, enryu arrived on the floor through a door, which could be the tower's one. If i remember correctly, the door pattern looks almost the same as the one baam openned
arlen made a deal with the outside god for whatever bam is in exchange for something and enryu was sent to that floor to carry out x mission from the outside god that was in direct response to everything that happen with arlen bam and rachel. enryu also just straight teleported to the 43rd anyway.
My theory is that Enryu or the outside god used his ability to open the tower through the floor of death, because that god is an Axis. They are already established OPs in and out of the tower. They gave him the title ranker because 1. who tf enters the tower in the 43F fr (we saw the opened door behind him in one panel), even Jahad and the FH started on the 1F. This also applies to Phantaminum. He opened the tower and entered the floor of Jahad just to bully him. I can't imagine Phanta started on the 1F either like the other irregulars. Bam and Urek and the 13 GW, they all entered the 1F, but these two just opened the door on specific floors.
2. Not only did he open the door, but he also left the tower using it. I don't believe he continued climbing just to get a ranker status brrr 😂 he just came like some hero to fight Jahad's army, and after bullying them, just like Phantaminum, left the floor like a boss.
3. This is just a joke, but maybe they gave them (Enryu and Phantaminum) the ranker status because they are the king's and fh's worst nightmare 😂 Since then, all irregulars are branded evil. Look at how Jahad and the FH see and treat Bam! Wtf he's just a regular! But these 2 boss characters imprinted too much terror to Jahad, that the ranking committee decided, nah they must be above the king of the tower bro. I guess Jahad put a lot of booby trap on his windows and doors in fear that they would enter his chamber someday lol.
Great video anyway! Thanks ❤️😘
I think the way that makes the most sense is shortly after bam is put in the cave enryu is sent in the tower on the outside gods order to deliver the thorn
Than him knowing it’ll take a long time climbs the tower for and becomes a ranker waiting for bam
Sees the desecration and decides to step in fights the administrator and dips
Could make a video detailing the red and blue thryssa, I'm sure alotta others aren't 100% certain on whats going on with those
I'm glad I'm not the only one running myself in circles over his lore trying to make it all fit together 🥸
Dude TOG is coming back, where you at??
Hedon is what's missing in your observation.
If Enryu was sent directly by the outer god, then it stands to reason that he was already THIS powerful even before entering the tower.
There would be no need for him to take tests, a deal could've been made with Hedan on the very first floor.
Something along the lines of, "grant me free access to most floors with your authority as an administrator, in exchange for 1 favour down the line" or something like that... Hedon seems like the type who would love to have the outside god owe him one.
And so for maybe a few days or weeks, Enryu could move between floors easily, almost as if he had already cleared those floors.
That, or the outer god has some influence on the tower itself. It may not be able to invade the tower normally, but by sending in its creation (Enryu), he could use the "irregular" status as a loophole to just bypass the logic/laws of the tower entirely and just move between floors without needing to take any tests.
Surely the outer god's knowledge would be way beyond that of Gustang for example, who we know can just enter floors without being detected immediately. Enryu should be capable of such feats but on steroids.
It could be a case where he killed the admin before even the other admins caught on that something was wrong in the tower.
Look at it this way, the admins test regulars and deem them worthy to keep climbing right?? Well, who decided that a mere admin could judge the worthiness of a being that does a god's bidden?? In that sense, Enryu isn't below the admins and the fact that he killed one so easily confirms this notion that THEY aren't worthy to judge him with their childish tests.
I don't think it's a portal per se, more like Enryu has similar abilities to the admins themselves.
He can "swim"(navigate) in deeper "waters"(shinsu) naturally without needing to learn control like other irregulars.
Imagine if Bam on the first floor had encountered Leviathan for example, he would've swallowed him still... because his "abyss"-like existence has always been the same, all he keeps doing is learning HOW to get better at controlling his innate power. Knowledge is key... For a being like Enryu, it makes sense that he'd already be strong from day 1 of entering the tower because he can comprehend shinsu far better than all other rankers besides Pentaminum who is like him anyways.
Technically, they're all "irregulars" in the eyes of regulars but realistically, Enryu and Pentaminum are completely different classes of irregular.
