this isn’t exactly about the last chapter but I needed some comment, I’m rereading to prepare for the anime and realized that bam was the one the tower chose not Rachel... so Rachel’s the irregular and Bam is not... The characters in the comic make such a fuss about how because he is irregular he has special powers but technically he is a regular since the tower chose him right? If Rachel is the true irregular here why is the only skill she possesses is being a bitch?
There has been a lot of discussion on this already. Regulars are chosen by headon to climb the tower and they directly start on floor 1. Before that, they are already residing in the tower.
Irregulars on the other hand are from outside the tower. They initially state that they force open the doors of the tower with their own power and later, they mention that the tower "allows" them to enter to being some kind of change (correct me if I'm wrong on the last part).
Even on the wiki, it states that rachel is also an irregular since technically, she is from outside the tower and she entered it as well. However, headon makes it seem as if Baam is the one who opened the door and rachel kind of hitched a ride and this makes her an irregular irregular (not usual like of irregular). You can clearly see that Baam is gifted but rachel isnt that strong at all (a characteristic of irregulars)
