Tower of God Volume 2: The Prince of Zahard: “Bath” (Episodes 9 and 10) Webtoon Review
Major Spoilers are included in this webtoon review. Please read with caution.
On September 4, 2020, I started and finished reading Tower of God Volume 2: The Prince of Zahard’s third story arc: “Bath”. The story arc centered on giving everyone bath and rest before the next test. We’re given more time to know the new characters during this arc and the politics involved with Viole’s status as FUG, a Slayer dedicated to killing Zahard. Associating with Viole would brand the rest of the candidates, which was a similar situation to when everyone discovered Baam was an Irregular during Volume 1.
Aside from Viole and Ja Wangnan, I think the character I’m most invested in is Yeon Yihwa, also known as the “Flame Thrower”. Yeon is also a Regular in debt—similar to Ja Wangnan—and has the ability to throw fire, which was how Ja Wangnan failed his first time taking the test when she burned him and countless others.
Yeon Yihwa was also willing to team up with Viole—despite his FUG status—for the next test to avoid shaming her family. She is also from one of the Ten Great Families that reside in the Tower, so she already has an interesting background so far. She also thought Viole was a girl based on his new appearance—similar to Sinon and Kirito from Sword Art Online: Gun Gale—and the roommate situation, which made their interactions all the more hilarious when Viole didn’t care enough to correct her.
The other characters haven’t really grown on me yet, but the cliffhanger for the next arc has me thinking that opinion might change soon. Thanks for reading this Webtoon review, everyone! Tower of God is definitely worth the climb! I’d highly recommend checking out this Webtoon.
