Tower of God Season 2 premiered in July 2024 and garnered optimistic response. An fascinating side of the second season actually was the change in POV.
We would have hoped to get solutions relating to what Bam is as much as, particularly after Rachel betrayed him on the finish of Season 1.
As a substitute, we’re launched to a brand new character Ja Wangnan, an everyday on the twentieth flooring making an attempt his greatest to clear the check to change into and E-rank and advance up the Tower.
Although he appears inconsequential and weak, we are able to say for certain that cringelord-Pokémon-master Wangnan is a personality who shall be enjoying an important position in Tower of God.
And including to the thriller of the character is a hoop he possesses – a purple one with the crest of three purple eyes. There was sufficient give attention to the ring for the reason that first episode.
Nonetheless, it isn’t till Jue Viole Grace mentions the identification of the ring that questions surrounding who Ja Wangnan actually come up.
In keeping with what Viole mentioned on the bathhouse, Wangnan is in possession of Jahad’s ring. Webtoon followers may need instantly acknowledged the crest on the ring as Jahad’s image.
However why is the ring so vital, and why does Ja Wangnan have it? Let’s check out the probabilities.
Truthful warning: Spoilers forward for individuals who haven’t learn the webtoon!
What’s Jahad’s ring?
The significance of Jahad’s ring lies in its connection to the Tower’s secrets and techniques and Jahad himself. The ring is believed to have been created from half of the important thing to the Tower, the opposite half getting used to create the 13 Month Sequence.
The important thing in query is meant to open the doorways to the upper flooring of the Tower which King Jahad didn’t conquer. Since he didn’t need anybody else conquering these flooring, he’s believed to have hid the important thing and transformed them into their mentioned varieties.
Rachel, who had data of those rings, believes that they could possibly be the important thing to defeating Jahad and his immortality. She means that the ring bearers climbing the Tower collectively may open the doorways to the subsequent flooring.
So, this establishes that the ring in itself is an important merchandise. There are solely two of such crimson rings which were proven within the Tower of God sequence until now. And one in all them belongs to Ja Wangnan.
Naturally, this raises questions on Wangnan’s identification and why he possesses such a hoop.
Why does Wangnan have Jahad’s ring?
Whereas it isn’t formally confirmed in Tower of God webtoon but, it’s believed that Ja Wangnan has the blood of Jahad and that’s why he possesses Jahad’s ring.
In keeping with Rachel (in chapter 229) Wangnan has the blood of Jahad. However, the primary bits connecting Wangnan to Jahad and the ring really are available chapter 263, which additionally reveals his backstory.
Wangnan’s backstory and the way he obtained the ring:
Whereas conversing with Karaka, the one different one that is proven to have the Ring of Jahad, Wangnan reveals that he’s really from the Crimson Mild District.
That is the place issues get fascinating. Wangnan doesn’t actually know who his mother and father are. Nonetheless, he was raised by a nanny who stored calling him ‘Prince’.
Although Wangnan considered the nanny as his actual mom, she at all times rejected that notion saying that she may by no means dare be the mom of ‘a prince’.
Wangnan by no means believed her claims, nonetheless, when he turned ten years outdated, the nanny gave him Jahad’s ring saying that it was a token which show that he actually is the prince.
The largest trace which could show Wangnan is said to Jahad? Properly, on her deathbed, the nanny mentions that Wangnan was the ‘king’s seed’. That could be a imprecise assertion in itself. Nonetheless, if we learn it along with the ring, then it strongly factors to the truth that Wangnan may certainly be Jahad’s son.
However then, the Jahad household is barely proven to have princesses, and no official prince. So it stays to be seen if he’s actually a prince, or if Wangnan is said to Jahad in another method.
An fascinating trace from the anime:
One other reference, which many may need missed, got here within the first episode of Tower of God season 2 itself. After her assembly with Yuri Jahad, Repellista mentions that the Prince of Jahad will return quickly.
The primary particular person they present throughout this dialogue is Jue Viole Grace (who’s Bam). Nonetheless, the scene instantly cuts to Jahad’s ring, which is worn by Wangnan.
I caught this element on a rewatch, and it’s a good play of phrases to foreshadow that Wangnan certainly is said to Jahad not directly.
This element was not included within the webtoon, however was a part of the anime. An intentional trace from the workers members engaged on the sequence in all probability?
The Prince of Crimson Mild District and Jahad’s largest mistake:
The subsequent massive trace comes from FUG’s shady information Hwa Ryun, who calls him the Prince of the Crimson Mild District. He was referred to as the identical title by Rachel too. That makes it two individuals with FUG affiliations to name him by that title.
These very individuals additionally check with him as a Jahad’s largest mistake and in addition his deadly weak point respectively.
As I discussed above, Jahad is barely recognized to have princesses formally. Nonetheless, they don’t seem to be associated to him by blood. These are girls from the ten households who’re doubtlessly thought-about to be sturdy sufficient to bear Jahad kids.
Mainly, Jahad has been refraining from fathering a inheritor. However, what if, he accidently did find yourself having kids and Wangnan was a kind of. I imply, he does appear like a precise copy of Jahad, with the yellow hair and facial construction.
This is able to clarify why he’s referred to as a deadly weak point and an enormous mistake.
For the reason that FUG is aware about plenty of info relating to the Tower, they may have recognized Wangnan’s identification all alongside.
Whereas Wangnan being associated to Jahad is most plausible concept, there are additionally different fascinating assumptions which recommend Wangnan is likely to be a clone of Jahad, or an element that Jahad break up from himself.
What are your ideas on Ja Wangnan having Jahad’s ring? What do you suppose their relation is? Let me know them within the feedback under!
