This was horrendous. I really can't stand the yellow guy justifying beating the kid to death over not being like him. Apparently the show didn't skip anything so them going over it and eating barbeque while celebrating they succeeded after the kid got beaten to death was also the same in the manhwa :D

Oh boy, this just keeps getting worse with each episode. Everything is just getting buried in dirt. Characters are ass, animation is below average, dialogues are stupid, overall it's just a massive letdown and the part with Wangnam forgiving his friend's killer was just the most braindead thing.
Didn't think they could make this worse than it was in the previous episodes but it seems like they can.
Guess I'll try to continue watching with a sliver of hope that this maybe, just m a y b e will get better.

We are reminded of the same question this series has always asked, "What are you wiling to do to climb the tower?"

This was a nice return to form. I am in love with this series so much.
I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon.

I’m sorry man but Wangnan forgiving Lurker for beating Nia to death is ridiculous. Buddy gave this long ass speech about Nia’s death and then just power of friendship/talk no jutsu’s him after Lurker betrayed his employer’s son and killed a defenceless girl? Change the culture AFTER you kill that mf 💀 or at least beat em up some more.

Narratively I somewhat get it because seeing Wangnan forgive lurker made Viole open up and think back on how he was betrayed by someone he loved.. and restoring a little bit of his faith in humanity. But still don’t like it. Happens way too soon

The transition from Viole’s challenge against the test taker to the whole hallway fight felt really awkward too. Pacing felt off in general this episode. I did think the arm devil transformation scene was cool and that is really a terrifying ability. Penkin’s OST as usual made that a very hype moment.

The test proctor hating FUG and then working for them unbeknownst to himself is some nice irony. Poor dude’s literally right next to his worst enemies and don’t even know it.

It’s crazy I was literally just thinking to myself when Khun was gonna show up because I remember him being one of my fave parts of the first season. Hopefully we get to see what he been up to next episode.

Wangnan forgiving Lurker actually had nothing to do with trying to get Viole to open up to him. Essentially he's forgiving himself as he knows in the future he will commit much more heinous and violent crimes than Lurker to climb the tower.

I never said he was trying to get him to open up. I said it happened as a result, not necessarily intentionally.

That shounen manga style of 'forgiveness' is kinda...lame but necessary development. Wangnam is a scum like Rachel was; deceiving and playing the victim so people would help her with her quest of climbing the tower. Though Wangnam in contrast, he will deceive his way up the tower but he wants to bring others with him and change how the tower works.
Viole now is seeing another perspective to his quest of reuniting with Rachel, though I guess it's even more of dilemma now, with what exactly he will do when she sees her again.

It's so unnecessary to kill the little kid. The dude's misfortune caused by his boss is no excuse for beating an innocent kid to death.

And how could the bastard be forgiven? I don't get it. I'm sick of the typical cliche that the protagonists cannot get their hands dirty.

Without the disgusting issues above, I would have given this ep a 4/5.

@Nurguburu

And what is Wangnam exactly? He has the ring with the kings symbol on it and the show is entitled return of the prince. Is he the Kings son somehow with no memory or something?

This series deserves so much better, it is what it is I guess but it's a pity
I read this part of the webtoon years ago and I liked the story enough to keep watching now, I just hope there will be some improvements along the way (sure... let's keep hoping...)
Khun in the last seconds!!! I miss his character (but also, where's the scout uniform? And the ponytail? I admit, I was looking forward to both)

@Ri-iel Maybe they handled it better in the manhwa, but it all felt incredibly rushed here. Nia was a literal kid whose only wrongdoing was lying to protect someone who was basically family. Wangnan's initial anger and reaction was expected, but forgiving someone who not only consistently made his life hell, but also killed a kid for absolutely NO reason at all??? And then to go on and party/celebrate without any sort of mention of Nia again??? It just felt like a pointless character death.

If Wangnan really thinks he will do worse things than everything that guy has done in the future, then yikes.

The Tower of Betrayal. Ja Wangnan had some development, applying the iconic technique of many anime protagonists, solidifying his place in anime history. Although, personally, I would have liked him to lose an arm, Ja Wangnan understood that there will be worse things as he climbs the tower. Farewell, Nia-chan, may the force be with you.

I hope they start giving more development to the other characters as they are still very flat and uncharismatic compared to those from the first season. I think the most interesting ones are Ja Wangnan, who seems to have the interest of both the test administrator and FUG, and Horyang, who hides his identity as a demon (does he look like Ishigami or is it just me?).

Anyway, Khun finally appeared, the best character.

At first I thought: "wait, is this episode being rushed?" Few minutes later: "Hell yeah it is being rushed". They really skipped too much. The scenes that should be emotional like The devil in the right arm or Wangnan's griefing or the forgiving scene with the Lector were not emotional at all. Also they did Yinhwa and Prince dirty this episode. In the manhwa it was prince who received a botlte that should power him up, but he was too cautious to drink it himself so he knocked the Yinhwa's door and gave it to her, which caused her to get mindcontrolled.

And probably the most disappointing part is that they didn't include the explanation as to why Wangnan and others got in the team lol. And how Wangnan tricked Viole.

mmm, I guess it was a good episode at first, Kang is cool, but it all went to absolute shit when Wangnan decided to forgive Lurker over killing Nya (I swear, these fucking korean names...), I HATE when dumb shit like that happens, like, he killed ur only friend just for fun and after u made an entire plan for revenge, you forgive him? Shiiiiiiiiiit.
I though Wangman was going to be a good second protagonist, but now I see I was wrong, what a let down.
Also, Nya was like "uuuuuh that grandmaaaa", bro u telling me he gave his life for an old lady that didn't even got a proper name??? This writing really know how to suck lmao

Maybe something is wrong with me emotionally, but this ep had zero impact.
Useless genki boy spewing nonsense and changing his revenge convictions at a drop of a hat?
Chained sob stories from people who were supposedly trying to rule the world?

The most interesting thing at this point is what exactly is going through Yoru's head, but he's not given an inner voice to tell us.

Can't agree more.

Why would Bam agree to help Wangnan? What did I miss?

And also, why on earth would Wangnan forgive the dude who brutally killed a kid, his supposed dear friend, just mere minutes ago? Man, this writing is laughable.
And the scene with all of them celebrating while Nia's corpse was in the other bedroom... yikes.

*2 milliseconds later*
I FORGIVE YOU

That scene was so lame. At least give it a bit of time.. His best friend dies by the hand of that guy, and he insta-forgives him because.. yeah. I wish they never made this scene.

Other than that the series has been quite enjoyable for me, been having fun watching it so far, while also not trying to take it that serious. Looking forward to the next episode!

Damn things just got intense really quickly. What has this test become?! Did Nia really need to die? What is this tower all about?

I get why Nia did what he did, and I was devastated to hear that it was all for nothing.

So Ja Wangnan had to take things into his own hands. Rather than prioritizing he and his friends passing, he decided to make sure Lurker failed. However, before he could finish the job and kill him, he realized that they aren’t so different. Then he decided to forgive him like this is Naruto vs Nagato all over again talking about changing the tower. I get the message, but really?

I didn’t expect him to team up with Viole and I guess since Viole wanted to pass, he had no choice but to cooperate.

I didn’t expect the Test Administrator Augusgus to be a member of FUG and that FUG wanted Ja to pass. I don’t know what connection they have with him, but I guess that makes him lucky.

For now though, Viole and Ja are climbing together.
