In Season 2 Episode 17 tower of godThe workshop battle finally begins (for real) and the Sweet & Sour team members breathe a sigh of relief upon learning that Missen and Prince have safely boarded the Archimedes, but as the first workshop battle competition begins, a badly beaten Prince appears and fights. Relief turns to confusion and fear as he pleads to stay away from Misaeng, who went berserk and seriously injured him earlier.

The ending was incredibly dramatic and a very interesting twist on the character of Misaeng, who was undoubtedly the weakest member of the team. A convenient change of direction allows the Endorsi to board and engage Archimedes, while the Beniamino brothers learn that they have a brother. It's starting to show how the various moving parts are connected, and it's been a particularly interesting arc so far.

dark underbelly

Workshop battles are a lucrative business.

Somewhere on the Archimedes, two suits are holding a meeting over the enormous sum of 1000000000 points earned through Workshop Battles with the participation of high-profile figures such as Jue Viole Grace and Endorsi Jahad. is being carried out. E-Rank Regular, Yama's Mad Dog; A complex betting system where valuable items are up for grabs and spectators can directly influence the outcome of the game. It's a situation where you can make huge profits, and if your boss knows, research will continue without a hitch, so it's not a problem. Two of them, Io and Punk, turned out to be the hosts of Workshop Battle. In the last episode, the Workshop Battle was introduced as an event where regular soldiers can compete for rare items created in the Workshop, and we also learned about the dark origins of Ilmar Benimino, known as Kang Ho-Ryang. workshop.

The 256 regulars who managed to obtain Archimedes boarding passes are given a short break, and Sivis catches up with May, who is on the same team as Yama's Mad Dog. Endorsi boarded the ship after selling Traveler to the authorities, who allowed her on board the ship as a thank-you gift for capturing the stowaway. Before being taken away by the authorities, Traveler begged Endorsi to help him save Emily, a human being used to power EMILE, although not a chatbot popular among regular people. In addition to Traveller's crazy revelations about EMILE's true nature, she must grapple with the complex emotions that arise from the fact that she knows Bam is alive.

Lark knows everything

Aguero has a stern conversation.

At the Team Sweet and Sour chalet, Rak boldly tells Khun Aguero that he knows everything from Rachel's betrayal to the fact that Bam is still alive. Hwaryun explained the situation to him. Rak wonders why Aguero is so cautious and hesitant about getting Bam back and revealing that he did not die at Arlen's hands, calling him pathetic for not being in such a hurry. It was a noisy, clumsy but sincere attempt to keep Kun from making things too complicated for him, a habit from childhood that left him afraid of losing something precious and revealing his true feelings, even to his friends.

After a brief argument, Khun goes outside for some air and briefly chats with Ja Wangnan before Rak rejoins. He said that finding out that Bam was alive made him happy because he thought it meant the three of them could climb the tower together once again. Khun defeats FUG and wins the Workshop Battle to win the grand prize and vows to bring Bam back. Meeting Rak again is one of the high points of the episode and he inserts a ton of humor into an episode that would have been rather amusing without him.

Ilmar is reunited with his mother figure.

There's something unsettling about her.

Late one night, Cassano leads Ilmar to a mysterious place underground, where they meet Professor Sophia, the researcher who raised them. They didn't seem to notice Hatz following them closely. Ilmar is in tears at the reunion, and Hatz is discovered outside by a blindfolded mysterious individual. Cassano captures Hatsu and attempts to keep him hidden until the workshop battle is over.

Sofia introduces Ilmar and Cassano to the blindfolded man and identifies him as “Beta”. She then takes Ilmar and Cassano, along with a few guards, to her research site, which turns out to be EMILE. According to Sophia, when she awakens, she will become a tremendous weapon that will shake the entire tower. The guards are relieved of duty and we see one remove his helmet, revealing the familiar yellow hair. Has ranker Leroro infiltrated the attack? This was probably the most interesting part of the episode for how it explained the connections between the various plot points presented so far, including the knowledge of ignition weapons.

The game starts

a dangerous reunion

The first game of Workshop Battle is called Flag, where each regular player is given a flag and must place it in one of the holes on the playing field to advance. The leader of the team acts as a gambler, betting on the outcome of the game, and the six leaders with the highest scores advance to the final tournament, which is both an individual game and a team game. The first group to appear includes Jawannan, Acraptor, Misaeng, and Prince.

The Sweet and Sour team members are happy to hear that their young colleagues passed safely, but when the door opens, they are shocked to see the prince with a severely injured face. In an urgent voice, Prince begs Acraptor and Jawannan to run away before Misaeng appears, but it is already too late. She walks out the door, weapon in hand, eyes glowing red. Overall, it wasn't a bad episode, it just served as a setup for the next episode, but there were a lot of interesting plot threads that explored some of this season's complex storylines.

Tower of God Season 2 is available on Crunchyroll.
