Warning: Spoilers ahead!Updated on October 23, 2024 by Oluwatokiloba Folami: Tower of God it has a lot of really good arcs that show different aspects of the series effectively. It's incredibly hard to pick the best arcs because each arc has its own beauty that shows what a great story SIU has put together. Tower of God is divided into several parts, with the 3rd part most focused on the battle between the forces of good and Zahard's Empire. These different parts consist of many short arcs that come together to tell a really good story. Because of this, some arcs still manage to rise above others and leave a mark on readers.

15 Hide-and-Seek

It highlights a bit of Baam's early development

The Hide-and-Seek arc from the first volume is a favorite for many people who enjoy Baam's progression. He became much more adept at manipulating Shinsu and Ho envied him for that.

The joint Hide-and-Seek test was the perfect place for Baam to show off his new skills against the Ranker, Quant, and he did just that. In a fairly short amount of time, he was able to gain the Fast Skip ability and used it to support Androssi in her fight against Quant, during which they were able to tag him and win.

14 King of Dogs

The Story of Baylord Yama

Baylord Yama, King of Dogs, finally got a short arc that sheds some light on his story and the horrors he went through before becoming a High Ranker. The story also featured his brothers and most trusted subordinates, Doom and Paul, as well as the rest of the Mad Dogs.

It also showed fans the reason why Yama, due to his strength and leadership skills, is better suited to be the Dog King than his older brother Doom, who can turn humans into dog people.

13 The Dollar Show

A test with historical significance

• Chapter: Part 2, 172 – 195

Hell Express was full of twists and turns and the Dallar Show is one of the best. This test was initially used by the heads of the ten great families to divide the rights to different parts of the tower among themselves after they climbed it and became its rulers.

This arc was well-entertained for three runs of The Dallar Show, and eventually a few more truths were revealed and the whole thing capped off with another Baam and Rachel reunion.

12 The last station

The climax of Hell Express

• Chapter: Part 2, 316 – 322

The Last Station arc, as the name suggests, took place in the Last Station of the Hell Express. It was a well-deserved culmination of all the events that happened while Baam and the gang were aboard the Hell Train. Zahard's forces and other regulars were already ready to ambush those aboard the train when the train arrived.

Karaka, White, and several of Baam's friends were captured by division commander Ha Cheonhee, who threatened to execute Baam and the other regulars aboard the train, and a surprising twist from the previous chapter was recalled.

11 Disruption

A vital part of In War

The war between Zahard and those who oppose him grows closer by the minute, and the dog people are suddenly thrown into the middle of an active war zone as Khel Hellam and Soo-Oh help teleport Cage to the second defensive wall.

Baylord Yama, Doom and Paul organize a second surprise attack and are stopped by the head of the Lo Po Bia family branch with a rather interesting ability. Baam also confronts his younger self in a brief moment that tugs at the heartstrings of the reader.

10 Rough war

Evankhel's time in the spotlight

• Chapter: Part 3 Ep. 56-59

This arc continues the story of the ongoing war involving the leader of the Lo Po Bia family, Doom the dog, and Paul. Regardless of what the arc is called, it's not all about warfare as it takes fans through the past of high-ranking Evankhell and gives them a glimpse into his story, albeit for quite a while as he puts his life on the line. front line.

Despite only spanning about three chapters, the value of this arc far exceeds most others in this book Tower of God series.

9 Second defensive wall

Continued fight against Zahard's forces

This arc immediately follows Vs. Kallavan arc and build on the war as Baam and his familiars reach the second phase of the battle against Zahard's forces after the defeat of Kallavan.

At the time of release, SIU took a hiatus and stopped the arc on a cliffhanger that built up so much tension for the return of the series, making it one of the most popular arcs. The war brought back some old characters and saw some new ones form new alliances to further their goals.

8 One shot, one chance

The first of the workshop battles

The One Shot, One Opportunity Arc took place on the 30th floor and is based on a test of the same name where E-Rank Regulars are pitted against each other to win rewards such as items or weapons made by The Workshop.

The reward here was a ticket that admitted one person to the top of the Archimedes, one of the workshop's five large floating ships. There were many stellar fights and displays of strategy in this arc, with Khun, Androssi, Viola, and Hatsu showing up, among others.

7 Development tournament

An equally engaging tournament

The Development Tournament is the second part of the Workshop Battle, which pitted two groups against each other in competitions. FUG faced off against Team Mad Dog on one side and eight other players on the other side, and the winner of both sides would face each other in the finals.

This arc focused mainly on the FUG and Mad Dog sides of things as they engaged in a contest that was largely entertaining and full of impressive games from both sides.

6 Nest

The conclusion of the Great Battle

Many of the first arches in Tower of God part three fleshed out Yama's character and educated the people on his history, his status as a true dog king and one of the best leaders the dog people have ever had, so it was sad to see Yasratcha betray his people to join Zahard's army.

The FUG criminal organization has been clashing with Yama for quite some time, and this arc ended that conflict. Baam's ability to gather people proved useful here, as he was able to pick up the pieces and offer Yama a greater goal to look towards.

5 The Name Hunt Station Arc

The Name Hunt game

Baam learned the true nature of his abilities in this arc when he went through the “God” training of the guardians to be strong enough to get through the Name Hunt Station and advance to the 43rd floor. There he and Khun met many people, including Lo Po Bia Elaine, otherwise known as Kaiser, who had ruled Name Hunt Station for many years.

There was also a fight to the death between Princess Yuri and Karaka, who fled after realizing he was no match for her. Two other princesses also debuted in this arc, further expanding the world and bringing the promise of new plot possibilities.

4 The Crown Game Arc

One of the first exciting competitions

This arc was one of the most exciting as it was one of the first few coordinated tests featured in the tower and guaranteed passage from the second floor to the third upon victory. The Crown Game is a team game where players must steal and keep possession of the crown.

This arc showcased Khun Aguero's all-around abilities, both tactical and physical, but ultimately they didn't come out victorious as Baam's feelings got in the way and he lost possession of the crown to save Rachel.

3 The last exam

Action with an unexpected ending

The Last Examination Arc was action-packed from start to finish, and the ending left manhwa fans in disbelief. Baam receives a test from the Guardian after Khun questions the results of a previous floor test to eliminate those capable of damaging the tower.

After Baam undergoes a mini-training arc, Khun and the others are ready to undergo the Submerged Fish Hunting Test, which involves a bull boss much stronger than they originally thought. After the conclusion, Rachel pushes Baam from the height, saying that he must die there.

2 vs. Callavan

Strength in numbers

Team Baam went against Kallavan and the Zahard army under his command during the finale of the second volume of this hit manhwa series and fell short, leading to the capture of Ha Jinsung. Field “Vs. Kallavan” arc brings the much-anticipated rematch with the slightly more experienced Baam.

Although he did not grow strong enough to face Kallavan alone, with the help of his allies he was able to overcome the obstacle and avenge his master, repeating a theme that has been constant throughout the series.

1 The Hidden Floor Arc

Unraveling the mysteries of the hidden floor

While issues like this are subjective, for many people the Hidden Floor Arc is the best yet Tower of God. Baam and the others present at the doors of the Hidden Floor were drawn in, divided into groups, and forced to go against their sworn enemies or worst fears. The Hidden Floor's origin was revealed to be a mirror that stores the data of the regulars, who eventually became a society of data people after numerous data saves.

The groups had to face their fears and moral compass because their success depends on passing without tipping the scales that measure their good and bad deeds.
