Last updated on February 22nd, 2022 at 01:28 pm

Power & Abilities of Tower of God Protagonist Twenty-Fifth Baam: Tower of God is a fantasy-based action-adventure manhwa written and illustrated by S.IU. Since its release in June 2010, it has become one of the most popular Webtoons ever. 

It has created many records and set the bar high for the upcoming Webtoons. After a yearlong hiatus, its recently released new chapters left the readers yearning for more.

The Tower is a mystical place comprising of massive floors; according to the author, each floor is the size of the North American continent. 

Each floor harbors many civilizations and kingdoms, some even oblivious about the existence of the Tower. The Tower is filled with mana-like substance – Shinsu, which provides monstrous powers to the user. 

The Tower is ruled by the mighty immortal Zahard. Each floor is filled with deadly traps and gruesome monsters. Many players try to battle out to reach the top of the tower as it is the place where unfathomable riches lie for the individuals who scale the tower.

The protagonist of the story Twenty-Fifth Baam lived in a cave situated under the tower almost his entire childhood. In this ordeal, his lifelong friend Racheal is his only support. 

When one fine day Racheal decided to leave and start climbing the tower, the thought of not seeing her pained Baam. Hence, he decided to pursue her and entered the tower. 

An extraordinary journey awaited Baam when he entered the Tower. From being betrayed by Racheal to being recruited by FUG- an underground organization to overthrow Zahard. 

From being oblivious to the existence of Shinsu to becoming an avid Shinsu controller. Little did Baam know that life-changing decisions and secrets related to his existence awaited him inside.

Spoiler Alert: This article is based on the webtoon; hence many abilities and powers of Baam have still not been disclosed in the anime.

Power of Tower of God Protagonist: Twenty-Fifth Baam-

Twenty-Fifth Baam is an irregular – someone who does not belongs to the Tower. An irregular enters the Tower from the outside, which grants them the ability to bend the rules of the Tower. 

All the subjects of the tower who climb the tower are called regulars and are bound by various rules of the Guardian of each floor. The irregulars are exceptionally strong and have immense Shinsu manipulation capabilities. 

There is a stigma associated with the irregulars that only an irregular can crush Zahard. Hence, maybe Baam is the messiah that the Tower is waiting for. 

Initially, when Bam entered the Tower, he was weak and did not possess any ability. His ability to control waves manifested during the Wave controller classes during the Floor of the Test arc. 

He possessed dangerous potential to be the greatest Wave Controller in the Tower’s History. He was recruited by FUG, where underwent rigorous training under his teacher Ha Jinsung. 

FUG made Baam into a living ignition equipment by embedding the Thorn Fragment of Enryu in his body. According to the legend, Enryu was an irregular who slew the Administrator of the Floor of Death, and immediately after death, a massive Thorn appeared. 

The thorn is fragmented into 4 pieces and is embedded in different corners of the Tower. Currently, Baam owns 2 fragments of the thorn, and when used, it provides dangerous abilities to Bam.

Abilities of Tower of Protagonist: Twenty-Fifth Baam-

• 1. Martial Artist: Baam possesses immense agility and trained under Ha Jinsung for three years. JInsung taught him many different types of martial arts techniques. Even without using Shinsu Baam can land powerful blows to the enemy with his martial arts skills.

• 2. Shinu Mastery: During his intense training Baam was able to manipulate Shinsu to a far greater extent and easily mastered new techniques. Some of his notable Shinsu attacks include Wide Range Shinsu Control Rainfall, Twenty-Fifth Bam Style Wave Explosion, etc.

• 3. Shinsu Orb: Baam can concentrate Shinsu into small orbs. Just like a grenade when thrown, the orb unleashes massive energy through an explosion enough to wipe out the existence of the enemy in a single stroke.

• 4. High Shinsu Resistance: Baam possesses exceptional high Shinsu resistance which allows his body to withstand the pressure in areas with high Shinsu density.

• 5. Thorn: Currently Baam possesses two fragments of Enryu’s thorn. When activated it gives a monstrous boost to his attacks. Bam activated the true potential of the Thorn during his fight with Zahard’s Data which allowed him to even overwhelm the Lord of the Tower.

• 6. Technique Replication: This ability is highly peculiar to Baam. He can replicate any attack of the enemy just by observing. Bam attack called the Twenty-Fifth Baam-Lethal Move: Flora Butterfly Piercing Technique is the replication of Ha Jinsung’s deadly move, which even overwhelmed Baylord Yama.

• 7. Red Thryssa: Red Thryssa was a gruesome predator in the Tower who was wrecked by Baam and Urek. Baam body absorbed a red entity which was later revealed to be Red Thryssa itself. The Red Thryssa provides bam with extraordinary transformation abilities. He can transform a part of his body in form of a sword.

• 8. Blue Thryssa: There is quite a speculation about how Bam encountered the power of Blue Thryssa. The power of Blue Thryssa is almost equal to that of an administrator of the floor. Baam manifested the powers of Blue Thryssa in form of a shield during his fight with Kallavan.

For as long as I can remember I was introduced to the beautiful world of anime when I was in 6th standard. The first anime I ever saw was Gakuen Alice. Suddenly a new world of possibilities and hope opened and since then I have never looked back. As a proud otaku, the thing that interests me the most about anime is its never-ending genres- it caters to the emotions and fantasies of millions. An alternate reality where one can let loose their wings and fly.
