Tower of God S01E10
"Tower of God" S01E10 (titled "Beyond the Sadness") is a deeply emotional episode that focuses on the fallout from the tragic events of the previous episode. Hoh's attempt to eliminate Bam, driven by jealousy and the pressure of the tower’s trials, ends in tragedy, leaving the participants to grapple with the aftermath.
Bam is left devastated by Hoh's actions and the emotional toll it takes on everyone, particularly as Rachel is severely injured during the incident. Bam’s determination to protect her, which has been his primary motivation since entering the tower, intensifies. However, Rachel's injury throws his resolve into turmoil, especially as she becomes bedridden and unable to continue climbing the tower. This puts Bam in a conflicted position—whether to stay by her side or continue climbing in her place.
The episode deals heavily with themes of grief, regret, and responsibility. Hoh’s death serves as a reminder of the harsh realities of the tower and the desperate measures people take to reach the top. Bam reflects on his journey, questioning his role in the tragedy and what it means to keep moving forward. Despite his kind and selfless nature, the weight of these events forces him to confront the darker side of the tower and the toll it takes on those who climb it.
Khun and Rak also process the loss in their own ways. Khun, with his usual strategic and pragmatic outlook, starts to see the emotional impact the tower has on everyone, while Rak shows his loyalty by standing by Bam’s side during this difficult time. Their friendship solidifies further, as they both commit to helping Bam deal with the emotional burden he carries.
In addition to the personal drama, the test administrators, particularly Hansung Yu and Lero-Ro, discuss the implications of Bam’s unique nature and his rapid growth. They begin to suspect that Bam may be more than just a regular participant, as his connection to the tower’s energy, shinsu, becomes more apparent.
As the episode progresses, Bam makes a significant decision: despite his sorrow and Rachel’s condition, he resolves to keep climbing the tower for her sake, determined to fulfill her dream of reaching the top, even if it means doing it alone. This sets the stage for his transformation from an innocent boy driven by his love for Rachel into a more determined and resolute climber.
"Beyond the Sadness" is a turning point for Bam and the rest of the participants. It delves into the emotional weight of the tower’s trials, showing that the climb is not only a physical challenge but a psychological one as well. The episode balances character growth, introspection, and foreshadows the greater trials that await Bam and his companions as they continue their ascent.
