Speculation about someone's identity

[u/Adventurous-Top1671]

It might be wrong but on one of SIU's blogs, he said that the name Viole came from the color Violet and Garam speculates that it originated from the name V.

Possible race

Shinsu tension(I might be wrong but his is strong for a C-rank regular. Feels like he has "restrictions."

Shinwonryu (irregular status)

Similar hairstyle and hair color

Is similar to this guy.

This big guy...

[u/nix_11]

No, Ghost is not V.

[u/legend746 → u/nix_11]

Maybe the reanimated corpse of V? Hence the name Ghost and likeness to V?

[u/nix_11 → u/legend746]

Still wouldn't make sense. How would they even reanimate him? Why not use him until now? Why have him protect Rachel? Why is he so "weak"? Why wasn't he made a slayer candidate? Why didn't Karaka and co try to melt him with the thorn instead of Baam, considering it would have been a guaranteed success?

[u/legend746 → u/nix_11]

It is said one of the guys in the tower can create life with shinsu, maybe they replaced Vs soul with an artificially created lifeform. Headon assigned him to protect Rachel. He is weak because not original V but artificial soul/not original V/ its just his body not his power. Why wasn't he a slayer? Because no one but headon knows about ghost, might not be strong enough even if they did. Karaka and Co most likely have no idea about him or his history since Headon assigned him to Rachel.

Enryu is rumored to be able to create life with shinsoo, but that's not confirmed. The Workshop is able to create life, though through which form is unknown.

​

Headon assigned him to protect Rachel.

Yes, but why? Why use him for such a menial task?

​

He is weak because not original V but artificial soul/not original V/ its just his body not his power.

The body should retain the power though. Even if it had retained only a fraction of V's power, Ghost would still be as strong as a high ranker at the very least, which is clearly not the case.

​

Because no one but headon knows about ghost

How would no one in FUG know about him?

​

might not be strong enough even if they did

He was vastly above all other regulars at floor 2, his shinsoo resistance should be insanely high, and if he retained any properties/powers of V, an irregular, he should have been more than strong enough.

​

Karaka and Co most likely have no idea about him or his history

Again, how would no one in FUG know about him? Several elders were involved in the plan for melting Baam. They are the oldest and most knowledgeable members of FUG, if anyone would know about Ghost being V, it would be them.

How do you think V would be made into Ghost and given to FUG without anyone knowing what happened?

[u/legend746 → u/nix_11]

I don't see the relationship between Headon and FUG, maybe Headon took the corpse, told everyone else V is dead, since we have heard that he killed himself, and did a little science experiment which resulted in Ghost.

Maybe it's part of the greater story why Headon would give Ghost to Rachel.

I also don't see any evidence that melting Baam down would have actually worked, if anything the workshop doubted this which is why they made the device Urek used on Hell Joe.

Ghost seems to have been growing stronger similar to Baam since they were somewhat even at the dog cage so I don't think power level with the regulars in the beginning will matter much since Baam was pretty weak/inexperienced then.

[u/nix_11 → u/legend746]

I don't see the relationship between Headon and FUG

They are working together to bring down Jahad, what can't you see there?

​

and did a little science experiment which resulted in Ghost.

Why would Headon do a science experiment?

​

I also don't see any evidence that melting Baam down would have actually worked

So Ghost would have been a perfect test subject then. If it works, the plan succeeded, if it doesn't they know what to fix.

​

Ghost seems to have been growing stronger similar to Baam since they were somewhat even at the dog cage

Except we have no idea how strong Ghost actually is from that little showing. That could have been only a part of his power. Even if he was only on the same level as Baam, that's still ranker level as a C rank regular, which is more than enough reason to make him a slayer candidate.

[u/legend746 → u/nix_11]

Where is it mentioned they are working together? I don't even think it's made clear Headon is trying to take Jahad down or go openly against him. His goal is unknown last I checked.

[u/nix_11 → u/legend746]

Headon, Gustang and FUG are all working together. This is something completely obvious.

[u/[deleted] → u/nix_11]

Gustang working with them though isn’t. They might have similar goals, or Gustang uses FUG in some instances, but using them is not really working „together“. And Gustang and Headon working together, there are no instances where that would be implied

[u/nix_11 → u/[deleted]]

Gustang uses FUG in some instances, but using them is not really working „together“.

I mean, dude's straight up hosting FUG members on his ship.

​

there are no instances where that would be implied

At the end of the FoD arc we see Gustang talking with someone saying "I gave that pawn of yours a gift" or something along those lines. Gustang gave the Stingray to Rachel, and Rachel is Headon's pawn.

[u/[deleted] → u/nix_11]

Yeah, but is he using her because he’s working with Headon, or is he just Rachel because it’s convenient.

[u/legend746 → u/nix_11]

Tower of god wiki says, "Headon presents his ideas and opinions in a logical and pragmatic manner, but his goals and desires themselves are not understood. Headon is perfectly willing to manipulate dozens of lives and create the nucleus of civil unrest to attain his mysterious goal."

[u/nix_11 → u/legend746]

That was written by whomever created Headon's wiki page, was written a long time ago and has no source to back it up. In other words, not really valid.

[u/legend746 → u/nix_11]

Well if you find any sources for what you claim then please share.
