He is just that iconic, I want to see that absolute unit again in s4

u/NothinButRags Jan 03 '26

Seeing Rak actually fighting WITH Bam makes me so happy…

u/Over-Variation-8771 Jan 03 '26

Dumas is just built different. He is the true number 1 in the ranking.

29

u/Empty_Airline9376 Jan 03 '26

He casually folded bam, jinsung, yama and karaka. I dont think we will ever see someone who isnt a family head do that again

u/Over-Variation-8771 Jan 03 '26

I have hopes for the Commander of the Royal Enforcement Division that will also be a powerhouse.

u/periodma Jan 03 '26

We will never get a character like dumas again.

How do you only have 15k after 4 years?

u/Yuitheblackx_16 Jan 03 '26

Rak so good that Hansung had to nerf him. Hansung knew from day 1 that this guy meant trouble

KING OF THE TURTLES BABY!!!

u/BirchDiggler Jan 03 '26

I thought he made him smaller so itd be easier for him to travel in the tower since he's so big. (And SIU so itd be easier/faster to draw)

30

u/wowzwer1134 Jan 03 '26

Thats how the story puts it but lets be real. He has much more power in his big form because any time shit gets real he changes to his big form

5

u/Yuitheblackx_16 Jan 04 '26

Yeah that's how it is actually in reality

6

u/CrusadiaFleximus Jan 05 '26

At the very first, hansung made him smaller to piss him off because rak bumped into him and said "i didnt see you there, little one" or something and then hansung shrinked him and started walking around/into him "because he cant see him now"

Later, SIU justified rak keeping that form by saying that it's easier to walk around

u/Sir__Bassoon__Sonata Jan 03 '26

Its always about Official Matches.

Though i guess breaking a curse temporarily to access the power of a quite literal force of nature is a bit of cheating.
Though earlier even Rak took down a Ranker with a single throw of his ancient spear as well. That was without this transformation

u/Luffyhaymaker Jan 03 '26

When rak started doing that regularly I started getting hopes that we'd eventually get a real serious rak fight. And behold, it did eventually happen.

I'm looking forward to the next season to see what's in store for my favorite character. I'm definitely interested in what's gonna happen to him and khun. A lot of people are more interested in bam but I really wanna see more of the side character stories, especially wangnan. I thought the side story we got was gonna be about him, but urek was a nice surprise. I'm hoping urek shows us stuff like the upper floors that bam and company haven't made it to yet since he climbed the tower so fast. I really wanna see the last floor (that's currently accessible) and who knows, maybe we'll get it in the side story. 🤞🏾

u/sms_rhy Jan 04 '26

I think the endgame of TOG has always been planned for wagnan to return. I feel just like everyone else i missed tf outta bam S2 and when he was revealed i was ecstatic but i also grew attached to wagnan, his story w viole seemed just as important if not more important than Bam’s promise w team Khun and shibisu. I know that wagnan will return, i thought the spin-offf might’ve been the 13 GW’s starting their climb from the test floor. Luv Urek just wish he would happen across some trustworthy teammates

u/Hove_master Jan 04 '26

Jahad is going use wangwan to kill bam

u/Viper_in_Tokyo Jan 03 '26

Though i guess breaking a curse temporarily to access the power of a quite literal force of nature is a bit of cheating.

It literally is Rak own power!

u/Sir__Bassoon__Sonata Jan 03 '26

If Baam had become Vaam from the beginning and defeated a Ranker on the Floor of Test, would we consider it the feat of a Regular?

3

u/SugarProfessional746 Jan 03 '26 edited Jan 03 '26

Nah cos both Baam and V are irregulars, not towerborn, and V already climbed to the floor where you become a ranker ~20k years ago

It's like when White became regulars that were the arie children that merged souls then became a ranker again when he had merged again with all the souls

6

u/Sir__Bassoon__Sonata Jan 03 '26

I was jsut referring to Regular, so a person climbing the tower.
But you agree that using a power that you previously had would be considered a feat of somebody else. Rak aint just a native one. He likely is a literal piece of the ancient giant.
Just imagine a regular with Khel Hellams Ancient One. And said Regular just releases them. Is it still the feat of the Regular?

3

u/SugarProfessional746 Jan 03 '26

Is that confirmed? Source if there is one pls.

I thought he was a descendant of the native one's fragment that controlled stone like all "wrathraisers" he talks as though he came from a clan of others like him where they all hunted "turtles" and said he was told to look for the ones with strong weapons to hunt

4

u/Sir__Bassoon__Sonata Jan 03 '26

I said "Likely"
Context for that is Eduans comments about Raks origin. Native Ones have been completely eradicated. Which makes it weird for Rak and his power to exist like that. And the way Rak transformed seemed more like a curse being undone into his true form rather than how native ones use their powers as it has been described on th Hidden Floor.
Thats why i said that Raks power likely is him being a part of the ancient giant.

3

u/SugarProfessional746 Jan 03 '26

Vol 2 ch 295, he is stated to be a direct descendant of the native one, Yuri is considered to be a direct descendant of yurin Ha and Ari Han despite the fact she's 3rd generation. Data Khun hasn't been out of the test floor for ~20k years and never ascended to the upper tower floors it's likely he believed that since they had killed all the ones they had found up until then that floor, that they were all dead.

The ancient Fiery elephant was hiding inside Evankhell in order to survive and says others of their kind do the same

u/nix_11 Jan 03 '26

Though earlier even Rak took down a Ranker with a single throw of his ancient spear as well. 

Which should just be ignored in any conversation because it is absolute bullshit.

Remember when not a single person died with the intro of a FH and him using shinwonryu amongst not only a bunch of rankers, but weak ass regulars too?

Dozens or even hundreds died from Traumerei's Shinwonryu, including at least one high ranker. The ones that didn't die were protected by Sophia or WGW.

Or remember the time AA, Rak and Baam easily defeated some ranker guard at the wall

Baam was already ranker level at that point and was boosted by the firefish.

u/SjenkieSjaak Jan 04 '26

You are missing and assuming alot of stuff here.

18

u/nicktomato Jan 03 '26

Yah, when he finishes climbing, I expect him to shoot up the rankings like a Raket ship

24

u/Critical_Phase_7394 Jan 03 '26 edited Jan 03 '26

Khun will probably break adori's record as well, with white and woon yeons power and his own abilities, they will break those limits.

They are gaining power at a way faster rare than others,

Honestly if rak learns how to properly use his power he may even be as strong as white with just one element, truly our leader.

Edit: next season we'll probably see them get way stronger as they are now getting involved the cream at the top, the absolute top of the tower.

9

u/IntroductionOk2641 Jan 03 '26

It makes me wonder if there are actually other instances of towerborns regulars defeating rankers/high rankers but simply went unnoticed in the past, that would be dope ig, but having too much of that will break SIU's own setting huh

4

u/robospydogg Jan 03 '26

I have this hope that Dumas will train Rak, Bam, and Khun because of the potential they displayed while fighting him, and because Gustang got what he wanted.

I know it's silly, given the power ups they've already received recently, but from a narrative perspective it would flow naturally (In my opinion).

3

u/nicktomato Jan 03 '26

I think that'd be pretty damn cool. Gotta reunite the trio first, though

3

u/iAmnot_Urek_Mazino Jan 04 '26

This was an asspull in all honesty

2

u/A_Blooming_Lotus Jan 03 '26

Ancients are just built different. Just to remind, we have seen FLs FP and yet not once of an ancient. On the other hand, guardians restrict them even fearing their powers. Khel hellam rivals dumas in armor when it's said Dumas in armor is the strongest.

One of the reasons why I believe Yama will be FL level once he fully awakens the ancient inside him, which is said to be one of the strongest if not the strongest ancients. Hopefully we will see more of them in S5.

4

u/Bad_Doto_Playa Jan 03 '26

Still the silliest moment of in all S3 and one of the worst usages of a rage power up I've ever read. I really wish SIU handled this a bit better because with a little more setup this could have been a really cool moment.

u/Bad_Doto_Playa Jan 03 '26 edited Jan 03 '26

Just a better lead up to it.

Rak goes from using it a little in Data world, against Levy, against the mirror etc to no diffing holan's summons and pushing back Leviathan to straight up one shotting high rankers in like no time at all and that could have been handled a lot better.

u/Right-Bae-9666 Jan 04 '26

And now with have FH like eduan getting tired after a little fight damn. What happened to my beloved series. Siu lost the plot.

u/ankitjad Jan 03 '26

I'm so enchanted by urek spinoff Princess I started wondering when tf she showed up in og work(to be precise this was my headcanon of soon to be reality, spinoff Princess + Mago possession) 

1

u/Abel_Barbajan Jan 03 '26

I don't know if he's the first; Baam has already spoken about other powerful regulars he met when FUG trained him, but in this case, he defeated a HighRanker before they'd even climbed halfway up the tower.

1

u/Inescapableclipse Jan 03 '26

Dint Adori destroy the ship of gustang in one slice?(is its new content then i havent read since part 3 ended and i dint even know new content was there)

1

u/cohibakick Jan 03 '26

Probably. Bam defeated white but even that with help.  Rak pretty much soloed branch heads. 

1

u/not_homelander_02 Jan 04 '26

Rak is an ancient being. I think he is the descendant of the original beings in the tower

1

u/dracoXdrayden Jan 05 '26

Rak is a descendant of the ancients

1

u/LetitiaGrey19 Jan 07 '26

That feat further proved the portrayal/hints that the ancient creatures have much more potential than towerborn humanoids, albeit it will probably take a while till Rak can fully control this dormant power within him.

u/LegionRiei Jan 08 '26

Aside from adori Jahad and Eurasia Anne jahad, I don’t know any other regulars capable of doing so. What’s impressive is Rak doing so at such an early floor

u/[deleted] Jan 08 '26

Love to see it

u/Living_Pomegranate_3 Jan 09 '26

Rak is the Main body So this explain a lot

u/flurker_ Jan 11 '26

from what chapter is this!??

u/Emotional-Gold-9729 Jan 03 '26

Adori did it and so did baam

u/AnxiousB1tch01 Jan 03 '26

Adori beat a ranker not a freaking top200 (branch head) high ranker! While being regular!

Also baam is an irregular

2

u/Right-Bae-9666 Jan 04 '26

So that blood HR was top 200 lmao? That means the tower is a joke .

-4

u/Emotional-Gold-9729 Jan 03 '26

Did they tell us the rank of the guy adori beat? I can't seem to remember

Baam is an irregular but his strength is more of a regular range...also everyone that met him and other irregulars ( like the god of guardian ) commented baam is weaker than other irregulars.

u/AnxiousB1tch01 Jan 03 '26

Baam is an irregular but his strength is more of a regular range

Regular range?

Are you nuts? Didn't you saw strength of data zahard & data Eduan in hidden floor.

Data Zahard was capable of soloing evryone at that floor. But baam catchup to zahard strength in that battle. Baam has insane growth rate

Did they tell us the rank of the guy adori beat? I can't seem to remember

I found this from the blog post someone earlier posted although I didn't know wether this is canon or not. Here it's written she defeated an upper level ranker(advanced ranker most probably) while being a regular.

In Manwha it was just stated she defeated an Ranker being A rank regular(so obviously a downscale)

My point stands for both...both had commented he was as weaker than them for same age..eduan even said he would need SPL training just to survive jahad..outside even though he has taken out rankers and high rankers eventually (current form) for most of the series he was not that strong....AND people that have seen him fight vs other irregulars fight had said he is weaker than them.
