Super excited to get things under way and explore more of the tower with Bam! Also, I NEED to know what's gone on in the time since Rachels betrayal😭😭
There is a lot of cinema coming. By the way, are you going to watch the samurai anime? It started wild
@@aripacheco824 I actually texted to episode one on the Patreon, my schedule is just too full for me to handle any more shows at the moment on UA-cam😅
@@bluestReactsUnderstandable, there is too much to see this season, I'll run to see it on Patreon then
@@bluestReacts difference in art style also happened in manhwa in season 2
As someone who’s read the manhwa, things get absolutely nuts. Peak fucking fiction (a few more slow episodes first tho)
Ja Wangnan literally means I am prince, hence why the anime uses Ouji Naru which means the same thing. its similar to how they were saying Yoru but translating it as Baam in season 1. both words mean night which surprisingly important as the story progesses
to be precise Nan wang Ja(난 왕자) means I am prince
It is just backward
@@hsp2619 forgot that it was backwards
The English sub is accurate to the korean names.
We learned in s1 that bam is resistant to shinsu, the bomb was gunpowder. Think of him like a Mage that is weak to physical damage but immune to Magic damage.
It’s just Japanese localized name like with bam “yoru”, wangnan “oji naru” goseng “kana” and more
Annoying when they do that, but they gotta stick with s1 choices I guess
6:40 Lighthouses. And that big one Repelista has is special.
Opera
@@ikhsanpirdaus4556 I know.
Yeah man, im thinking of re-reading from after Season 2. If you are enjoying the lore and story, jump in. The manhwa is phenomenal and high quality. Highly recommend
I was thinking of reading it but I don't know how good it is to enjoy the anime. I read what happened in this ep and it's true that they cut some things to adapt it
@@aripacheco824 It's definitely a great read. It's up to you. Maybe you can read the chapters each episode adapts weekly and then full dive at the end of the season? I highly suggest to read it at some point since it's so good
@@kevinlee6003 I'll do that. I read the fight with Masino a long time ago, I don't remember much anymore... I'll wait and then I'll read it all haha
@@aripacheco824i feel like it definitely would affect the experience and if you’re the type to get nitpicky about things being cut off (understandably) i suggest holding off to reding or at least only read on the point before each season starts. I’ve been reading ToG since 2010 so I just really appreciate the anime just for existing as a long time fan of the webtoon. Though i really wish i could watch the show without prior knowledge of the webtoon, I feel like i would have enjoyed it differently
That's awesome you're thinking of jumping into the webtoon after this season. I strongly recommend starting from the beginning to see what the anime omitted/changed!
Yeah if I was to read that's exactly what I'd do, it's pretty much how I read any series i HAVE to start from the beginning
@@bluestReactsif you do read the manwha, don’t let the artwork dissuade you from reading it. The early drawings are a bit funny looking but like the anime, it changes on season 2.
I'm really glad they didn't change what the bombs looked like, it's a giant meme in the manwha community.
How so? Did they just look goofy or something XD
@@bluestReacts Wangnans bombs look like poke balls, so people always joked about it. So much so that SIU, who is the creator of Tower of God started making jokes about it. The little jokes probably won't be in the anime because it references Pokemon, but it's enough that the bombs have their design
You got a lot of intuition, each time you said oh so maybe it's that because of that most of the time you are right and it's so fun to see
Thats great to hear :))
So when season 1 first aired, the translations on screen were using the localized Japanese names. But the TOG community (i might be included :3) made a big stink over it to crunchyroll. Since after Season 1 ep 1 they made changes moving forward. Bam was Bam on the translations instead of Yoru.
20:03 Fug is basically like the Akatsuki all their slayer members has an extreme amount of aura and are strong af, running into one is like running into a demon lord
Yuri is a ‘child’ because compared to maschenny, who is thousands of years old, she is only 500. She’s a relatively new princess and has only been a high ranker for around 200 years (took her 300 to climb the tower). And since you mentioned powder, Maschenny is even stronger (much stronger) and can actually fight as both fisherman AND speak bearer which is kinda crazy
I believe that Maschenny is way stronger than Yuri. Having Yellow May is an acknowledgment that Maschenny is a chosen princess who is strong enough to get one of the 13-Month Series. Don't forget that she is from the Khun Family. She's cunning and has more experience.
Repellista is a gifted light bearer. You can see it from how many lighthouses she possesses and control.
Masheny IS way stronger, older and more experience then Yuri. Basicly Yuri is the weakest chosen Princess currently (due her young age she still rise in terms of power)
As for the first season, they translate the names of the character from korean to japanese, bam became yoru(night) and ja wangman became Ouji Naru (I am prince written backward). So if you ask yourself how to name it you can just say wangman
If you check S1 episode 10 at 19:41, you will notice something similar that might connect some dots
I'm glad you're enjoying s2 so far! I'm assuming you're an anime only. So far, the anime has been very faithful to manwha almost animating everything panel for panel. They did remove an important piece of dialogue in the princess scene, which mentions that 6 years have passed since S1. Also, the reason the names are different from the subtitles is because of japanese translation. Bam in Korean literally means Nght, and Wangnan means Prince. Both these names have actual impact on the story, so thats why the anime literally translated them to Yoru and Naru, the literal Japanese words for the Japanese viewers to understand. I personally have no qualms with the artsyle. I also liked season 1's, but I think season 2 is just as good. Also, I guess this is light spoilers, but you are correct in that we won't be seeing the season 1 cast for a while. Not in this anime season, at least (unless they decide to add some season 1 flashback scenes). But don't worry, you are gonna love season 2's cast. They are imo, way more likable and endearing, Wangnan especially. There's a reason he's the fandom's fan favorite.
about the names, they change the original korean names for japanese names in the anime thats why names are different, they did the same in s1 with baam that means night in korean to Yoru that means night in japanese
Bam giga chad, life pleasures
I'm really glad you're enjoying it, it's very refreshing how observant you are and you have some good insights. Looking forward to the next episode!
Once this seasons is over you most definitely need to read the manhwa. Great reaction too!
i just notice it in your reaction but i think they changed his technique in the 19:14 to the floral butterfly's piercing technique, interesting.
Absolutely so excited for season 2! Its been such a long wait and man I cant wait for what else is in store.
Also just want to say I stumbled upon your channel and really love your reactions! I've been hooked and am binging all your reactions to so many of my fav shows. Love hearing your insightful thoughts and having fun. Thank you for all these videos!!
That makes me really happy to hear that you enjoy the reactions :)) yeah and im super excited to hop into season 2 of this great show
If you read the manwha, consider streaming/recording your read through.
I know I would really enjoy seeing your reaction to the manwha.
Im so excited to see where sesson 2 takes us ❤❤❤
Nice!
I'd be happy to see elusive samurai too.
That’s on the Patreon! Sadly I don’t have enough time to edit that for UA-cam, however I have been getting a LOT of requests to watch it so I’ll have to consider
New subscriber from your tower of god videos. I’m blitzing through your reactions now ❤
with this series, pronounce things how the subtitles say, not what they're actually saying.
the japanese dub changes many terms and names from the korean original because japanese is a rigid language and doesn't accept foreign words easily.
so, their names are goseng and wangnan, and the criminal org is FUG (which is an acronym).
Fun fact: That red lighthouse? It’s one of the best in the tower, called Opera. There’s only 3 copies of them
I absolutely do recommend reading the Manhwa after you finish season 2. At the very least just the parts that the anime covered. A looooooot of the content is skipped or changed in the anime version. Season 1 - I'll be honest, for the manhwa readers is pretty rough. You didn't feel much respect for the source material in it. Luckily at least so far Season 2 seems to be getting actual care. There are still cuts and changes of course, but they have been infinetely more respectful. I'd say Season 1 is 30% of ToG webtoon experience, Season so far is looking like a 65% - not bad at all. I'm actually hyped for season 2.
But yeah - there's a LOT of content and world building and frankly everything that you missed out on - and I greatly recommend to check it out when you can. (Or you could try reading season 1 as Season 2 is still coming out in the anime form for greater appreciation of the events ^^)
No the elusive samurai reaction? That anime has the best 1st episode of the season so far
Reactions to that one are on Patreon right now, as far as UA-cam goes my schedule would have ti clear up more somehow
Go back to chapter 10 at 19:31 and take a look at the painting on the wall, that may answer some of your questions 😉. Now i have 2 things to do on sundays, watch the episode and your reaction 😆.
Actually the art style isn’t different technically, they’ve just now shaded it properly haha
the end of the tower is begginins ~ in manwha "the prolouge end"
the koran name wagnan ja turned to be oji naru - same with goseng and cana. and actualy most of the party name changed to japanese like in season one baam called yoru
Wangnan’s name is pronounced as “wong nong”
hi bluest! i've recieved news you might want to hear.. the chanale "tower climber" got copywrite strike for tower of god episode, i believe big part of it could be since he played the op/ed during the vid... so you might want to cut them out before troubles comes
Quite a few interesting changes from the webtoon here, some for the better and some for the worse. We’ll see how it goes.
You should also try wataching SHY by Bukimi Miki, Season 2 just got released last week monday. Its kinda like MHA but Moe. Love the vids 💖💖
I must confess that when I saw this thumbnail and clicked on the video I didn't expect you to have that voice. Your voice is so deep lol! The studio that is animating this time is the same one that did Seven Deadly Sins and I didn't like the simplicity of their animation and I still have the same opinion. I would prefer if they handed it over to MAPPA, who has adapted several animes. I really like your channel! 😊
@@jonathanperes thank you! I’m happy to hear that
This is the Answer Studio, they have no affiliation whatsoever with 7DS. Mappa and many other studios have their hands full.
This studio didn’t do SDS, they’re completely new and only have done short things before. That’s why this is even more impressive bc the animation absolutely looks great! Also, not everything has to be done by mappa, come on😭 sure, they’re good but they also overwork their staff go a crazy level and these ppl don’t deserve one more thing dumped on them. Besides look at how much mappa rushed GOH, basically ruining it due to the way too fast pace
생각보다 반응이 좋아아서 기분이 좋내요
"It's what you said that stopped him not the bombs" Nope, the bombs definitely worked well, much better than any other attack by far, he's not spitting blood because of a flashback xD
The reason the bombs worked is because bam stopped defending for a moment because of the flashback, so yes, it was what he said
The reason the bombs worked is because bam stopped defending for a moment because of the flashback, so yes, it was what he said
@@bluestReacts The Manhwa has no flashback and Wangnan just say "take this" at that moment. The flashback was added to the anime for dramatic purpose.
The reason he got hurt were purely the bomb, nothing to do with the flashback. Viole was overconfident and Wangnan took him by surprise by doing something the others didn't: Attacking him with a physical attack instead of a Shinsu based one.
Wangnan 100% won that exchange on his own merits and ensured he'd pass the test even if he couldn't beat Viole entirely.
They skipped out Yuri including the statement "He's super handsome!", while nosebleeding, as one of her reasons for wanting to find Bam during her and Repellista's conversation. It shows Yuri's goofy side and how much he fawns on him, so I was upset they removed it.
@@KnockKnack actually it’s good they omitted it bc imo it’s kinda creepy.. sure bam technically is older than he looks but even so he has memory loss & also their dynamic definitely changes later on in the series to a more platonic/familial one, not Yuri having a crush on some clearly preteen boy…
@@Sandwyrm EXACTLY!! You get it!! Like this part was the one thing that made me dislike yuri a bit in the webtoon and so I just ignored it (mind you she’s my fav character in TOG and has been since 2017), but now that it’s gone it’s even better. It really does come off as borderline pedophilic and yeah it’s much better if they just show people his age range have a crush on him, not someone who looks so much more mature. And ppl who bring up age in the tower argument are stupid since shinsu, sure, makes them look younger BUT only bc they FEEL younger so it’s still weird idc even if they’re (bam and his group) hundreds of years old
@@rhaelicent Yeah I was just looking forward to seeing how others would react if they saw that. It's also agreeable that I like their relationship more in the anime currently as you both said. I just had nostalgia thinking about Bam's potential ships early on in the series.
The only ship I'll never understand are the ones rooting for Bam x Rachel despite everything that has happened, especially the ones following the webtoon. All I can do is just scratch my head and look at them in disbelief.
@@KnockKnack well I wasn’t bc it’d make yuri a predator and less likeable or ppl would just ignore it anyway😭 and it’s quite disgusting this was an early Bam ship when you really think of it.. feels a bit like a self insert ngl bc Bam had little personality back then. Agreed on Bam x Rachel btw! Though I can’t say I really care for any Bam ship since for most of them he literally shows 0 interest haha
@@rhaelicent Yeah the ships only really get felt in the first half of webtoon's S2, you just suddenly realize you've stopped caring about it until they randomly give small inkling of interactions to remind peeps. But then author gives you full blast of Bam, Khun, and Rak friendship that it just blows away any love interest. Maybe the real ship, are the friends Bam has made along the way.
Manwha readers will be able to explain it better but till they speak up: What I think is happening is that since the manwha is korean and they have korean names the anime uses the translations or japanese names for them they just go with since it's more familiar for the japanese audience.
Bam is for example called Yoru which means night. And he is called Ja Wangnan apparently but it might also depend on the translation/be different from translation to translation?
From what I've heard so far tho is that he wants to become the prince and prince is ouji in japanese. Ouji Naru as they call him in japanese should mean "becoming prince/will become prince".
Manwha readers, please feel free to correct or add to this
Your reaction to viole aka bam was literally so good 🤣 it seems we also have a new mc alongside bam and he’s such a silly guy
They omitted it from the anime, but there is a 6-year timeskip. It was stated in the S2 trailer, don't know why they left it out.
You already know how strong Yuri is but let me tell you we haven't even seen ANYTHING OF HER POWERS YET like it's CRAZY😭 You actually have no idea how strong she and other rankers (especially high rankers) are. In the next seasons when their fights begin, we will really need a better studio with more budget to animate those fights.
I suggest you not to focus on Japanese version of Korean names cause entire community is used to Korean names only and it will be pain in the ass to distinguish Baam/Your, Wangnan/Ouji Naru
There is only Baam and there is only Wangnan. Everything else is for a Japanese audience. If you don't know how to pronounce certain names you can wait for and English dub.
Watch the eng dub for name pronounce
No princess maschenny jahad is way stronger than yuri. And yuri is 500 year old and Maschenny is 5000 old
can you react to the anime The Elusive Samurai, I think you like it too 😊
It’s on the Patreon! Sadly I don’t really have time to edit it for UA-cam which sucks but it’s there
@@bluestReacts OK, I understand it. I'll wait for it.
it somehow annoys me when reactors stop so much, it takes so much away from the immersion and intensity of some scenes... why not react first and then after discuss certain scenes?
@@JustCauseFan because my memory doesn’t work like that, if I save what I want to say until the end I will 100% forget everything. As well as the fact that reaction content revolves around what the reactor has to say and how they react to a scene, and if I don’t pause there’s absolutely no way for me to say everything I want to say, which ends up ruining the viewing experience for me as well
@@bluestReacts Personally I like way much when a reactor stop instead of talking or doing other things while the episode plays and so losing informations
