    Powers & Abilities Swordsmanship is All About Haki

    [No essay this time (or images either, I can't be bothered).] Introduction The single most important factor to becoming a stronger swordsman is haki and haki alone. Nothing else (skill, physical strength, endurance, e) even registers. Indeed, it wouldn't be wrong to say that true "sword skill"...

    Powers & Abilities Maschenny Belongs in "Too High a Place" for Jinsung

    In S3 E123, it's revealed that Jinsung was not aware of Traumerei coming to the Nest: This means that Jinsung's warning to Baam in S3 E97 was most likely not about Traumerei: Considering that before the above scene, Maschenny's ship was shown to be behind the Third Wall: And that when she...

    Theory Maschenny's Objective at the Nest

    Introduction There has been a pervasive theory in certain parts of the community, that Maschenny's scheming at the Nest was to acquire whatever treasure Zahard stored in the Frozen Waterfall: I've always been strongly opposed to the theory, and with the latest chapter, I think I've finally...

    Spoiler What Does Kallavan Do Next?

    Introduction As I see it, Kallavan has two objectives: To kill the Irregular boy (his "eternal enemy"). To regain his position as a Corps Commander. Now that Traumerei has shown up, stealing Lyborick's position by killing him is no longer on the table. Kallavan would have to try another way...

    Maschenny's Glow Up

    Introduction There is a drastic difference in design and presentation between Late Season 2 Maschenny (particularly during Three Orders and the Last Station) and Season 3 Maschenny (especially in Post Hiatus Nest). Late Season 2 Maschenny didn't really have any sort of pronounced figure to...

    Theory Leviathan's Biblical Inspiration

    Something that I would like to point out is that Leviathan isn't baselessly arrogant, it's just heavily inspired by an accurate rendition of the Leviathan in the Book of Job. See this passage: Then compare this to Leviathan's declaration this chapter: So we have the following: Leviathan...

    Maschenny Serves No One But Herself

    Introduction There seems to be a very pervasive opinion in the fandom that Maschenny is working for one of the Family Leaders or Zahard. That her schemes and machinations are at the behest of someone else. As far as I can tell, there's no solid basis for it in the actual Webtoon. When I actually...

    Questions & Mysteries No, Maschenny Does Not Desire War For the Sake of it

    Alternative Title: What Maschenny is Really After. Introduction Many people seem to think that Maschenny's main objective is just a war. That she desires chaos, war and bloodshed for the sake of it. That she's nothing but a blood knight with no higher purpose beyond just indulging her...

    Theory Maschenny never fought Jinsung Seriously on the 91st Floor

    Introduction This should go without saying, but Maschenny was never at the 91st Floor to fight with Jinsung. Jinsung's Commentary Jinsung comments on how she's not fighting seriously: Exhibit He then asks what she's after, saying that she acted like she was attacking him but had never...

    The Many Lies of Maschenny Zahard

    Introduction Maschenny is the archetypical Khun. Lying is second nature to her. She's a natural-born actor and performer who excels at manipulating and using people. This thread is to provide a more or less chronological list of Maschenny's known lies. I'll avoid ambiguous scenes and merely...

    Theory The Massive Rupture

    The end of Season 2 of Tower of God (chronologically, the epilogue of the Last Station) was heavy foreshadowing for a massive rupture between the powers of the Tower. In Season 2 Episode 336, Maschenny listed the various factions and powers of the Tower. She then said that these powers that...

    Theory Maschenny Wants Baam to Fight Traumerei

    At the beginning of the Nest, Maschenny wondered to herself what Baam was capable of: An alternate translation from Adios: So one of her chief motivations when coming to the Nest was to see what Baam was truly capable of. She then goes on to express the desire for Baam to become a vast...

    Powers & Abilities Adori is the Apex Regular

    Many people seem to think that Adori is in the same class as other Top 20 Regulars like Molic One, Baek Ryun or Luslec. I think this is a very misguided position. Adori is an heretical existence among the Regulars whose stature is well beyond the likes of those three. The only Regular that...

    Maschenny Zahard is an Incredibly Big Deal

    Disclaimer This is a pretty long read, so it may be best to read it in bits over multiple sessions. Introduction Maschenny's status in the Tower of God world is incredibly rarefied. Of the Regular High Rankers we've been introduced to so far, she occupies perhaps the highest status of them...

    Anime & Manga Biggest Keikaku Flex

    What's the biggest keikaku flex of a character on another? I'm referring to one character "playing", outmanoeuvring or manipulating another character. Machinations that involve combat are accepted, but a combat showcase is not the point. Yuri gives her the call and they banter a little...
