On the other hand, I get a feeling we might see a callback to that moment several chapters back where he realises that to protect his friends, he's also sinking the hopes of others. Saving Kaiser might be a thing to do, but it still doesn't change the fact she's also ruined the lives of potentially millions of Regulars.

They'll just have to settle with being set free, and deal with the fact that they don't get to have any vengeance on Kaiser.

I guess you could say that Alpine got outfoxed!

I wonder if we'll ever see Sunwoo Mare in this arc (the Anima girl in Part 1 from Floor 2). She can't be part of the Lo Po Bia family because if she was, she wouldn't need to be grubby about money, she'd already be rich.

It'd be a massive coincidence for her to show up now, but I think she does have one of the coins given out by FUG

New chapter is out.     Has one of my favorite moments in the series so far.  This gonna be good.
Oh good Lord! The pokemon references were AWESOME! And the thing about the escalator being a trap - did Issu know about it? And how did Baam get there anyway?

Questions without answers .. yet.

My thought is that Issu knew about the trap from his recon and information.  When everyone starts infiltrating the fortress, he goes straight for it, knowing Baam and Khun are going to show up.  He then, in traditional cool guy fashion, disarms the trap and uses the explosives in it to launch Baam up the escalator.

SIU dragging things out another chapter, but Baam isn't going to tolerate a bitch it looks like!

Also, Hwaryun looking gloriously smug.  Do we know what this promise is between Baam and her?

It hasn't been specified. Whatever it is, though, it seems like he would rather not do it. So, a safe bet would be something that benefits FUG.

The stance Baam has near the end, when he takes out the thorn - that looks cool.

And ... can't quite believe I'm saying this, but near the beginning, the pose Kaiser is in, is rather attractive.

I'm not even sure she's playing FUG's game now.  There are so many players with competing interests operating out of FUG that she could be, but it always seems like she's got a master plan of her own, and FUG is just convenient.

That might be true, but I think she might be a little more pragmatic than Baam on the issue. FUG isn't going away, especially not now that Baam has acquired the Thorn. Baam probably thinks he can just politely tell them to eat a dick and walk away from them, while Hwa Ryun better understands the necessity of stringing them along and keeping them content. FUG can still make their lives very difficult, and alienating the non-retard (read: people other than Karaka) parts of the group will only invite that trouble. Besides, Baam is going to run afoul of the ruling authorities at some point. His being an Irregular is not something that is going to remain a secret forever. Hell, he's picking a fight with a Great Family right now with his intention of shutting down Name Hunt Station. He and his group may well need safe harbor later, and it's better to have options than to blindly trust that Wolhaiksong will continue to back them.

chapter up.

Fight is good. 

With the wolf, and now the fox, I'm starting to think there's something about the arie family related to summoning.

Hopefully Bam doesn't lose his hand to complete the Fenrir allegory.

And now I expect SIU to troll us by spending 2-3 chapters on the other fights going on before finally getting back to Bam vs Kaiser

It feels like it's gotten lost, but one of Baam's abilities seemed to be really good mimickry. He could see a technique and pick it up fast. If the wolf is a form of shinsuu control, he might have one of his own soon.

Fight wise, Androssi is still fighting IIRC, so you're probably right. SIU pulled that same split narrative way back in the workshop battle, with Androssi fighting someone nobody cared about and getting screen time during the fight everyone cared about, Baam versus the shadow guy.

I really hope he doesn't lose his arm. There's a novel series I'm reading where the main hero lost his arm and I'm not enthusiastic to see it again in here.

I made this point on the Reddit thread: I wonder if the rules for how somebody who's had their body pierced by Fenrir can be healed is one of those 'rules of the tower' that Bam can ignore as an Irregular

Baam took a level up in badass again.
 
EDIT: Wrong thread.

But since I'm here...man, this arc. I don't know if anyone else has read the preview chapters, but I've got some serious mixed feelings about characters I never wanted to have them about at the moment in this series.

As for what's current in the free release, I do like what we saw from Baam in this chapter but I wish he'd have just done it from the beginning and saved us the failed attempt at conjuring tension. After Hoaqin, Kaiser just doesn't get it done as a credible threat. So much so that the MC and the deuteragonist have both outright said so. Why even bother pretending otherwise with the action?

chapter up, and it's a good one. Some intrigue, some fights, some fun.

I hope Baam's fight is OVER now. It's been ... a bit of a drag to me.
