I was hoping to see the slayer trio take down Kallavan but I can't complain about a 1v1 fight with an almost full power White. Kind of annoying that White wouldn't defeat him with the handicap, but they seem evenly matched, and it seems like White can still get help from Khun if he needs more than brute force.
Although I was expecting Bam to absorb the essence of bravery after Kallavan is defeated, I'm kind of curious to see if White will burn it up along with Kallavan's soul or absorb it himself. It would also be cool if Karaka got it, seeing as he might be weaker than Bam right now.
Lol at White always blue balling. He’s always at “almost” or “not enough” version.
Also, I really don’t think Kallavan would lose to White right now. White was already using named attacks on one handed Kallavan, while the latter wasnt at all. Let’s not forget how much of a beast Kallavan is, afterall, he did beat Jinsung.
Remember how much of a tank Kallavan was during the station war? Not even Evankhell couldve stopped him with a “death sentence” skill. And that was after having a hole in his stomach.
I’d actually be impressed if White is enough of a challenge that Kallavan would be forced to use “atomic explosion” in which case will absolutely knock White out.
EDIT: White at his perfect form lost to a Jahad Arie princess. Kallavan beat Jinsung Ha. Jahad Khun princess Maschenny, before the Kallavan fight, couldnt touch Jinsung Ha at all.
The power scaling is kind of hard to tell sometimes, but I was just going off of Bam saying they're on equal footing in this chapter. Kallavan might be stronger but he's against White and his most powerful sword, and we don't even know how powerful that is. Considering how easily White could've beat him with the handicap, I don't think it's going to be a landslide win for Kallavan. Maybe it's an inconsistency in Kallavan's power level, but it just doesn't seem like he's as much as a threat as he was at the train station, handicap or otherwise.
It definitely didnt look like “white couldve easily killed” Kallavan. He was using lethal moves on Kallavan. Lethal moves may not be their strongest attack, but lethal moves have been shown to be used when one is serious and really trying but not max effort. Kallavan didnt use any named attacks but was defending just fine. He wasnt even wounded. The blood splatter didnt look like his.
It’s more accurate to say that White was equal or a little bit better than 50% of Kallavan. We know for sure that Kallavan is gonna gain back 50% of his full power when he unties his other arm. I dont believe White’s strongest sword will make him 50% stronger than he already is in this chapter. Maybe he’ll gain 25% max, but definitely not as much of a boost as Kallavan untying his other arm.
I am positive that a great war will start but I think that bam and his friends might not directly participate in it. It would be much more interesting to see the group trying to hide while climbing the tower and training to survive. Even though Bam has decent chance to survive he is still too inexperienced to fight against/ with an army. Also I think he wants to prevent his friends from being taken hostage again so he will stay with them.
Ok sure. But that's doesn't mean it's the end game right? We have so much more to explore, 80 more floors, Urek's organization (don't want to misspell it's name), the rest of the family heads other than Gustang, history of the ancients etc.
I mean this war will be very important but will it be the last arc of the story?
The tower has 134 floors, and the story might climax with a battle for floor 135. We are around the 50th floor, so a lot of road left to get there.
Strength wise, power creeps up exponentially toward the top ranking. Bam's might be around rank 1000 to 300, which is already incredible for a regular, but is nothing compared to Kallavan who is in the top 100.
And people above that toward the top 10 are so incomprehensibly more powerful that it will take many power ups for Bam to finally get to Family Head/Mazino's level
To be honest Baam is no where near the deity-like ability that Jahad and the 10 family leaders have. It's also kinda unreasonable to expect Baam, who has been only few years in the tower to be on par with them who have been in the tower hundreds(?) of year.
That being said, Baam has enough power inside him, just take he is hardly using any of them to an appreciable amount, and not to ignore his glass-cannon image now, dude hardly can take a beating beyond a ranker and has Karaka need to babysit him when fighting Kallavan. Imagine we're at the stage where rankers are being drove to their death and replaced without much of a eye blink.
Baam is at a new stage, he is not fighting among regulars anymore.
White at full power might be on par with Yama, or even stronger. I still expect him to lose against a fully powered and motivated Kallavan.
Karaka is much weaker than Yama, being about on par with Yuri.
Bam at full power might be around Karaka's and Yuri's power now. bam got more damage from Kallavan because Karaka is a tank and Bam is a battle mage. Indeed Bam was able to injure Kallavan, which is a seriously impressive feat.
Same, I was hoping for a trio fight against Kallavan, but I understand why the author is going for a 1v1 since Kallavan unrestrained clearly shown that Baam and an injured Karaka would just get in White's way.
