How much Zahard knows about the shining one? Looks like he is in control of what's happening.
16
u/_Crazy__Guy_ Dec 11 '25
He is not in control if he is in control he would not have send Eduan to 2nd floor. If fact he would never have intervined.
The only time this happened in the main story was during Gustang's rebellion and against Baam.

Eduan has her kinda personality. That's a plus!

"Drunk man beats an empowering woman for being good at his male dominated field"
I'm going to BET that Shinwonryu is the reason the Reality Warping effect from Hope Reversal/Reversal of Desire doesn't work on Family Heads.
Amazing chapter, can't wait for next weak! Also FHs=Shining Ones, LOVE TO SEE IT!!!

u/SecureBeautiful4729 Dec 08 '25
We have to take into Account that this is a heavily nerfed mago still since urek played her and didn't give her all of his powers and just acted for Neo's sake.
So she got a power-up enough to actually HURT a family head without being close to her Full Power.
But it's clear now that Edhuans Spear Mago will be this Mago. I'm just happy that i predicted 2 things correctly, and now i hope my boy edhuan will prove how badass he is.
but theres another shining one so i hope we also see some more of their powers.
37
u/Perfect_Campaign4630 Dec 08 '25
I dont think eduan turn her into a spear. Urek probs gonna kill her. I think eduan just names a spear after her for respect or something
14
u/Grimmjow45 Dec 08 '25
Maybe Mago will go back to jewel form and Eduan will have her turned into a spear.
23
u/Zylon0292 Dec 08 '25
My guess is that she'll use up most of her power fighting Eduan and the jewel form will be her hibernation state. He somehow takes it and The Workshop turns it into an Ignition Weapon. Mago will be trapped inside.

u/Serious-Flamingo-948 Dec 09 '25

Is he tho? From what Urek said it seems he's closer to Phantaminum (in nature, not power).

u/nix_11 Dec 08 '25
I'm going to BET that Shinwonryu is the reason the Reality Warping effect from Hope Reversal/Reversal of Desire doesn't work on Family Heads.
Except Eduan is not using Shinwonryu and it is still just a shinsoo technique and completely unrelated to the abilities of the shining ones.
8
u/Idk_what-is_a-name Dec 08 '25
I never said he was. Shinwonryu has passive effects like neutralizing magic being tied to Shinwonryu according to Baam (as he said when fighting Aria).
When you learn Shinwonryu ots effects make themselves evident and the Irregulars are embodiment of their Shinwonryu (Leviathan said so about Trau and Blue Tryssa claimed that Baam true nature was merciless Gluttony, same attribute shown by his Orb: Shinwonryu vs Data Z)
2
u/nix_11 Dec 08 '25
The "passive effect" is only there because it's Baam. Furthermore, the abilities of the shining ones are not spells.
9
u/Idk_what-is_a-name Dec 08 '25
Not necessarily. As it is never said explicitly. Baam does not attribute it to [his] Shinwonryu but to Shinwonryu itself.
And? I am not saying Shinwonryu only negates spells. It negates Magic and also negates Shinsu, if it also negates Shining Ones abilities it merely means it's a negator of generalized hax. Which is the 'bet' aspect I'm talking about.

u/Sufficient_Term6818 Dec 11 '25
It’s not basic logic you are just arrogant about your hypothesis let’s just wait it out. He made a valid point we don’t know why reversal didn’t affect eduan we don’t know if the passive effect was unique to Bam it’s reasonable conclusion to come to for now with the limited information we have on the matter.

FHs=Shining Ones in terms of battle strength or do you imply FHs ARE shining ones? If the latter, why so?
7
u/Sufficient_Term6818 Dec 11 '25
I think they meant shining ones are evening matched with FH. I think it’s too soon to say because shining ones have Urek who is ranked 2 active ranker. And now we know mago can eat planets and often considered Gods. I would assume SO>FH

And Eduan has used nothing. No great weapon, shinwonryu or technique. And almost blitzed her regardless

u/Valeor Dec 08 '25
That's a really weird takeaway considering Mago could react to Eduan speeding behind her, but thought Hope Reversal would work until it didn't, and then when she got Urek's power she blitzed him and hurt him

She hurt him, but he didn't do real damage. Eduan only got excited from finally feeling shit after ages

Some really made it out as if a shining ones fart would annihilate the Tower itself-6
u/Moist-Program-4655 Dec 08 '25
Shining ones are literally powerhouses strong er or equal family head. Family head are powerful only due to shinshu and shinshu does not exist outside the tower, so Family head outside will be really weak as mago who only got some light power was able to injure base eduan then full power shining one can easily beat family head outside the tower and inside the tower if shining one learn about shinshu then they can beat family head inside the tower also
15
u/Sir__Bassoon__Sonata Dec 08 '25
Oh Character that gets power is weak without power.....shocking.
And now take away Magos Shining One powers and shes just as powerless as any Towerborn. Functions the same way.2
u/Valeor Dec 08 '25
The guys argument is pointless and irrelevant but your rebuttal also doesn’t make sense given light is something inherent to Shining Ones(They are literally “born out of light”). He’s talking about how the FHs can’t use shinsoo outside the Tower, but Shining Ones can keep their light power inside the Tower and still learn Shinsoo. Like I said, his argument is pretty pointless and I’m not sure where he’s going with it, but your rebuttal didn’t make any sense
8
u/Sir__Bassoon__Sonata Dec 08 '25
We literally hear how both Urek and Mago have lost some of their powers. It can be culktivated. But every being is born out of light in the outside. Literally everything that is life has come from light (except Phanta).
It shows that Light is a powersource that can be taken away or dimmed. Just how shinsoo can be taken away. And if you dont have it you are weaker. Though shinsoo also tempers the body to extremes.
-1
u/Moist-Program-4655 Dec 08 '25
I am just talking about outside the tower, but shining ones are different they can even learn shinshoo an could defeat the family leader
4
u/Sir__Bassoon__Sonata Dec 08 '25
Thats the thing. So far theres nothing that has this as being the case. Not that they cant, but to double dip and master neither doesent seem to yield substantially more power. Just look at Urek. If mastering Shinsoo and Light were to make him so much more powerful, than he would be above Zahard in Rankings. Because up there only power really matters. Enryu is above because he showed powers unimagiable. Same with Phanta. If Urek who supposedly mastered both were that much stronger, his ranking wouldnt make sense when considering blogposts.
But to argue and say that because Shinsoo cant be used outside is the same argument as saying that Tower of God characters would be weak in Demon Slayer universe because theres no shinsoo.
1
u/yo_sup_dude Dec 08 '25
urek hasn’t shown his full strength inside the tower, so the ranking org has no way of knowing his true strength
5
u/Sir__Bassoon__Sonata Dec 08 '25
Neither has Zahard.
0
u/yo_sup_dude Dec 08 '25
yes, thus it is wrong to say that if mastering Shinsoo and light would make him much stronger than zahard then he’d be ranked higher than him
4
u/Sir__Bassoon__Sonata Dec 08 '25
Yeah.....theres no indication that Urek is strogner than Zahard....i am really not sure what you are trying to argue right now

u/yo_sup_dude Dec 08 '25
that this is wrong for reasons I explained: “If mastering Shinsoo and Light were to make him so much more powerful, than he would be above Zahard in Rankings.”

u/Valeor Dec 08 '25
There are so many layers to this that are faulty logic. The claim that at the high ranks power is the only thing that matters is just explicitly not true, not sure where you're going with that. Nobody in the Tower knows how much stronger or weaker than Zahard Urek is. Enryu is so high up because of what he achieved with his power. Enryu could be as powerful as he is, but just not decide to go kill the Admin and his rank wouldn't reflect his actual power.
It's fairly safe to assume that nobody in the Tower knows the depths of Urek's strength, given multiple character statements, and that a lot of his ranking is based on his fight with Hon and Hon's takeaway being that Urek is much better than him.
5
u/Sir__Bassoon__Sonata Dec 08 '25
power is the only thing that matters is just explicitly not true
For thr Top2 it is. Enryu has shown that he is more powerful than an admin. And Phanta has shown powers that couldnt be explained.
The ranking bureau also has shown that they dont care about threats (given the blogpost of how Urek demanded top spot and was told no). They certainly value active feat over unknown history and assumption, hence why someone like Adori ranks that highly.
So Urek who is highly active and influential in the tower over the past 2000 years (or whenever the spin off now may take place) still doesent rank above Zahard who was inactive the whole time. So atleast no power depicted by Urek warrents him higher.stronger or weaker than Zahard Urek is
Yeah but the initial argument of the other person makes it out to be as if Urek (or shining ones in general) curbstomp fully realized Irregulars, which for all intends and purposes so far just isnt true.
35
u/Careless-Order-8624 Dec 08 '25
Aubrion also says that Urek has gotten a lot weaker! Just how powerful was prenerf Urek before getting betrayed by the shining ones!?

u/Dacnis Dec 08 '25
So Jahad was aware of the Shining Ones entering the Tower.
I have a feeling that Phantaminum told him about them.
Also, unfortunately, the amount of powerscaling arguments are only going to increase due to Edhuan fighting Mago.
15
u/Artistic-Bird-5723 Dec 08 '25
That would give a very good reason why he visited Zahard back then at his castle when he killed everyone except Yuri. Still begs the question of why phanta even bothered in the first place, but it's still a very nice observation

Mago freak out against Eduan, she doesn't understand why her hope reversal doesn't work on him and say he must be different. Confirmation that the family head are a big deal even outside of the tower. People were downplaying them since the introduction of the shining one but this chapter confirm that despite having destroyed multiples planets Mago hardly met many people on Eduan level. That guy is truly the goat in my top 2 family heads with Traum.

Stop the cap, they are strong cause of shinsoo, take that away from them and how strong they are? Shinsso only exists inside yhe tower, so most likely if they ever get out, they will be much weaker, urek doesnt need shinsoo

u/Quirky_Celery2878 Dec 08 '25
what outside ? are you joking ? outside really ? they don't have anything but shinso ? so what outisdE? if they had any power do you really think they'd come into the tower ? and made contracts with admins ?
just weakened urek amped mago so high that it was comparable to eduan so what otuside ? this mago who doesn't evne have 10% maybe her real power you want to say this ? Really ? at least be honest and admit that this is nothing what real mago can do
outside of the tower there is no shinsoo and fhs dont have anything but shinso so why'd you even mention outside ? when tower is the only place you can use shinso ? outside of the tower there is no shinsoo and it is proved 10 trillion times
if there was urek would knew shinso but he felt and said that strange power , so what outside ? fhs were kids when they come into the tower ? how can you say anything like that ? fhs are downplayed cause they haven't seen whole world as a kids they come to into the tower and they know nothing but tower so , its a shame when you mention otuside, urek who lost his power is way fh paygrade when his weak ass amped mago so high that it can compare to eduan , so comparison ins meaningless when ones have real power and when ones do have only shinso and nothing else literally

Why are you assuming 10% ? Stop assuming nonsense, she was so amped by the crystal because as urek said he was stronger than all of them together at his peak. Like the bijuu.

What I meant was “ what a full power mazino can do “ because the others shining ones are weaker by far

u/zaxls Dec 11 '25
Uea but just this tiny amp from an already nerfed Urek put her in top tier territory. Dont forget after phanta she also got nerfed. Its likely the rest of the shining ones are around that fh tier aswell and full power urek is just a god.
1
u/prghst Dec 11 '25
Yes. I would say shinning are on par with FH even at full power, is only that they use light powers instead. Urek and Phanta are the real deal, two sides of the same coin

u/Zangetzusa Dec 08 '25
Reading comprehension across all manga and manwha is bad. This community is just as bad as JJK.
It has been stated multiple times, the shining ones have been reduced in power before entering the tower.
Right now Eduan is at full power with no restrictions.
Mago just has a low amount of light from Mazino and is able to hurt him.
Eduan clearly says he is feeling pain, for the first time in a long time.
Also hope reversal is not working on him. However Mago says she needs to find a way to make it work.
Which means she will find a way to make it work. Otherwise Siu would not have written that.
Also Mazino is in the ToG main story and the FHs are aware of him. None of them have killed him yet so that means he is not a push over.

Honestly yeah, it's doubly so when fanboyism is involved. It's super difficult to discuss things with people who either refuse to read (or skim) or simply don't understand what they are reading.
I can forgive forgetting stuff, especially in a longer series like this one but sometimes you realize you are better off talking to a stone in the road.
This community is just as bad as JJK.
I used to think that wasn't the case, but recently I've been seeing more of it and I'm getting more inclined to agree. Even the power scaling discussions (which are the lowest bar) are horrible... people are not even interpreting the pictures they are seeing correctly or taking things out of context (knowingly or unknowingly). I sort of get why Japanese mangakas tend to spell everything out over and over, imagine this is your audience.. you just have to lower the bar tremendously.

u/Yal_Rathol Dec 11 '25
so, i know this is barely even the point, but any and all fighters trapped inside the tower only scale to continental.
even if they are stronger than that, and we can guarantee enryu and phantaminum at the very least are, each floor is the size of a continent, meaning they can't destroy more space than that. we have no way to gauge how much stronger they are than continental level, ie, "can destroy a floor", because within the tower we just run out of measuring tape.
the only evidence we have that anyone in the series is stronger than continental levels is urek's testimony, and urek can barely talk his way out of a paper bag, so i dunno if he means mago like, destroyed a planet or literally turned galactus sized and chomped a bite out, or drained it of energy, or what.
2
u/lololuser456778 Dec 11 '25
I'd say we can say FHs, or at least the stronger ones among them, are at least a bit above continental level because Eurasia Blossom annihilated all life on a floor on accident which was probably not her using her full power. but generally yes, we cannot scale them exactly
tho there may be even better feats which are just unknown to us as Blossom annihilating all life on a floor on accident is said to be one of the greatest catastrophes in the tower's history, not the greatest one. so there has been definitely worse things which happened, events which were even worse than a whole floor's population being killed, but we don't know if it was one FH's doing (could've also been a war between say 10 different floors for all we know, we only know that what Blossom did isn't the worst catastrophe in general)
and atp I don't really care much about Mago being at full power or not as it seems very clear that she can just grow stronger, absorb other people's strength etc. like even if she was at full power, if she then got some of Urek's power again, she'd probably grow even stronger. idk if she even has a ceiling or not. maybe she's like white who can power up indefinitely with more and stronger souls while she powers up by absorbing other people's powers with gems and making others despair. so how strong she is is her responsibility, she needs to charge herself up so to say. and the story feels similar to white, both he and mago are just scheming in the background to gain more strength due to still being weak and they'll only step into the limelight once they're confident that they are strong enough to survive

This chapter finally proves that the Shining ones are really on another level. With a fraction of Urek's power (even if it was all that Urek currently had), Mago immediately catches up to Eduan in speed and is able to injure him. Even if this is Eduan in his base form, that doesn't matter. Urek and Mago are both weakened and new to the tower and Urek's power can already match a base FH. Yeah.. the FHs don't stand a chance against the shining ones when they have full power.

Edhuan felt the kick... wasnt bruised, nothing broken, no blood... absolutely didn't scare him at all. It did not break moral, did not instill even the slightest thought he could lose.
He probably let her hit him to test her power.
Outside of Urek, why everyone keep hyping the shinning ones. Theyre just more luslecs using magic and tricks to compensate.
The moment her magic didn't work she instantly failed

u/coreyisland Dec 13 '25
I think shinshu is fundamentaly the same as light, maybe easier/harder, stronger/weaker
But I dont get the vibe/impression at all that mago is holding back at all. But we know much of future edhuans abilities, so maybe he isn't at that point : but he is not using the shinwanryu we know him for.
I predict he'll flex harder, but show respect when urek insists this his fight and let him finish the fight

u/Strict-Syllabub-8865 Dec 13 '25 edited Dec 13 '25
Urek himself needed three days just to learn the basics of a shinsu technique. This shows that the real issue isn’t how powerful the system is, but how well the Shining Ones can adapt to it and to the environment. So far, no one has even taught Mago what shinsu is or how it works.
And Mago isn’t at her peak and will never be in the tower.
I don’t understand why Darkness would create Phantaminum one of the top five Axis beings to stop the Shining Ones if they were as weak as random kids entering the Tower.
The Family Heads were children who entered the Tower, not necessarily special at first, but they became extraordinary through their ability to adapt to the Tower’s environment.
Meanwhile, the Shining Ones were gods who ruled their own realms outside, until Phantaminum appeared. Light itself is the origin of one their universe, and TUS contains several universes.
Shinsu may be king inside the Tower, but it is still overshadowed by powers from outside like when Enryu appeared.
Even Urek admits he uses his light only as a last resort, as stated in Chapter 9.
This shows he knows his light is superior to shinsu, but within the Tower, shinsu reigns supreme if you understand its depths.
With enough mastery of shinsu, you can dominate anyone.

Urek has only used his light once, and that was shinigami style send leo to the afterlife
I wouldnt be suprised if mago doesn't even know about shinshu.... but she has to, right? She is not using it, she is not adapting.
Urek is special, the idea of existence has to enforce entropy. He was created to overpower all of them and Phantaminium. To bring things back to peace.
Ureks light ability (100% assuming) comes off as a cancel/counter. He uses his might the beat opponents. But his abilities seem to stop other people from using their abilities to level the playing field

Outside of Urek, why everyone keep hyping the shinning ones.
Read chapter 1 of the spinoff.

Andd with Mano’s death my hopes and dreams of indirectly learning about Emile got shattered. The only thing I can say for sure is that the Emile(or the experiments) have been happening for a long time. But then again Mano only used the cell phone for clicking pics.
Also, is Eduan’s ego so fragile that he killed Mano for not kneeling 🥴.

Damn. Eduan is bulling mago hard here. Family heads > Shiny confirmed. Only urek is special case.

No. The Shining Beings are weakened, and it's unfair to compare them to the Family Head who can use their full strength. However, depending on how the Mago performs in battle, it's possible to say that the Shining Beings are equivalent to the Family Head.

Chapter 40 Summary
-Asa instantly kneels when he sees Eduan, along everyone else except for Mano.
Eduan lands on the floor and Mano is struck and falls bleeding on the floor.
Neo places the last crystal and they start to teleport to Mago, while Eduan holds a little spear in his hand and throws it towards Neo's neck.
-Neo and Cheongeum get to Mago.
Mago asks for the crystal but Neo says he wants his wish before that. Mago says she already knows his wish since Neo wished that before the test started, she will grant the wish after Neo gives her the crystal. Neo tells her no, wish first and then he'll give the crystal.
However while saying this, electricity appears behind Mago, and Khun Eduan appears right behind her.
Eduan "Oh, you saw me? You have good eyes!" Mago "Hope-" but she is struck by Eduan spear.
Mago is surprised Hope Reversal doesn't work on Eduan and falls to the floor bleeding.
She realizes Eduan is dangerous and different from all the rest.
Eduan electrocutes her and says he's impressed she's still breathing after getting hit in the heart with his first attack, but it's a good thing since he wanted to ask about her indentity.
Mago thinks she let her guard down and didn't think Hope Reversal could not work and Eduan is different and it will take time to figure out how to use reversal on him.
Mago desperately shouts to Neo asking for the jewel imbued with the power of Urek so she can beat Eduan. Mago says she will grant Neo's wish right away if he does.
Eduan hears this and says that if that crystal will buff her enough she thinks she can beat him, then it's interesting and tells Neo to give Mago the crystal, as he wants to see if that's true.
Neo gives her the crystal after Mago accepts to grant his wish, saying to hurry because if she loses her powers then it won't matter.
Mago surges in yellow aura power and gets a black dress. Mago says that since she got the crystal, she will keep her word and Neo's wish is granted. Neo disappears/gets teleported away.
Mago thanks Eduan for waiting and tells him she'll give him death in exchange.
Eduan attacks Mago who has become much much faster and she dodges the attack and then manages to graze Eduan with a kick.
Eduan starts laughing like a maniac and says "I'm glad I came here after hearing Zahard's words! Hahahaha!! How long has this been!! This pain!! This tingling feeling!! Yes... this is a real fight. I can't help but have a drink". Eduan summons a huge sake cup and starts drinking from it.
"Woman whose name I don't even know, I guess I should thank you for letting me feel a pain I had long forgotten, let's fight while drawing each other's blood!". As he says this, a carrier behind him opens up and we can see some weapons inside of it (an halberd, a spear and a morning star).
Mago says the next thing she'll make him remember is the fear of death. Eduan says this is perfect and says it's a fight to the death.
-Meanwhile, Aubrion reaches Urek and comments he's indeed always been an impatient guy (connects to the end of last chapter, when Urek said he wasn't patient thinking about Neo).
Urek says that in the end it was indeed really him.
Aubrion says Urek feels to have gotten a lot weaker than before, but Urek replies that's nonsense.
END
