What Is the Workshop Battle Arc? 

For those curious about Tower of God‘s upcoming arc, it dates back to 2012 in the webtoon. The comic’s second volume began the Workshop Battle arc with a prologue focused on Emile. This prologue follows Emile as they meet tons of strange characters in the wake of an ever stranger text. Late one night, Emile gets a text message that reads, “Twenty-Fifth Night is alive.”

As you can imagine, the news of Bam’s status has everyone buzzing, and this prologue leads way into the second main arc in Tower of God. The Workshop Battle arc consists of 14 storylines, and each one focuses on the fabled Workshop Battle that is held every five years on Floor 30. This new arc also brings characters like Jyu Viole Grace center stage. Plus with Emile’s mysterious text in mind, Khun Aguero Agnis begins investigating whether or not Bam is alive as suggested.

Tower of God Season 2 Has Hit a Rough Patch

Currently, Tower of God season two is making its way towards this Workshop Battle arc, but fans are admittedly lackluster about its arrival. The issue comes down to the quality of season two as a whole. Tower of God made its season one premiere in 2020, and the show was a solid hit. Despite some pacing issues, Telecom Animation Film and Sola Entertainment did one hell of a job adapting SIU’s hit Korean webtoon. Director Takashi Sano slipped in some solid sakuage as season one went on, but sadly, this same effort hasn’t been seen in season two.

The main problem comes from Tower of God‘s change in production. The anime is no longer heralded by Telecom Film Animation or Sola Entertainment; Rather, The Answer Studio is overseeing the anime, and director Akira Suzuki has stepped in for season two. Despite solid material from the webtoon, Tower of God season two has been a slog for netizens. From its static animation to its incredibly flat character designs, the comeback has been a disaster. And given what we have seen from season two, fans don’t have much hope for Tower of God‘s next arc.

Of course, the anime is not the only way you can follow Bam and his journey. SIU brought Tower of God to life way back in 2010, and the comic is still going strong. WEBTOON handles the story’s release in English if you want to see how SIU first approached Bam. And hopefully, Tower of God season two will get its act together for the Workshop Battle arc.
