As a seasoned gamer and ardent follower of anime, I must say that Tower of God Season 2, Episode 16 was a rollercoaster ride of epic proportions! The plot development was top-notch, with the pre-Workshop Battle battle royale reaching its climax. The animation during Viole’s fight against Shibisu’s team was nothing short of breathtaking, and it was a rare moment where the anime’s second season truly lived up to its potential visually.


In episode 16 of season 2 for the series “Tower of God,” we witness significant advancements in the storyline as the intense pre-Workshop Battle battle royale to secure a spot on the Archimedes draws to a close. The duo of Sweet and Sour advances, leaving Prince and Miseng behind, while Ja Wangnan and Khun Aguero Agnes embark on a search for them. As the number of participants dwindles to fewer than 100, the battlefield becomes even more tumultuous, with Viole finding himself under immense stress as he encounters old friends like Shibisu and Anaak again.

To add to the excitement, we now witness Endorsi discovering Viole’s real identity.

Ja Wangnan Finds Prince and Miseng

The Kidnapper is Dangerous

Tower of God Season 2, Episode 16: A Striking Glimpse At Viole's Hidden Might

The episode kicks off with Ja Wangnan spying on the little girl with the giant octopus seen holding onto Miseng and Prince in the previous episode. The strange situation is off-putting, and he can’t find a decent moment to strike. At first, Aguero tells him he’s on his own, since he was against coming to look for them in the first place, but after Ja Wangnan insisted, going as far as to threaten himself with a dark bullet, Khun acquiesced.

When Verdi, a puppeteer from Shibisu’s team, is identified by him, Khun turns ghostly white, urging Wangnan to avoid any confrontation at all costs, hinting at Verdi’s immense power. Caught in the situation, Wangnan can only look on as the colossal octopus begins to emit a glow, unaware of how critical this girl’s actions are for the ongoing battle elsewhere. In the episode’s continuation, both Khun and Wangnan make their way towards the Archimedes, with Verdi sending Prince and Miseng up there regardless.

Team Shibisu vs Team FUG

Viole Puts a Wrench in Shibisu’s Plan

The narrative resumes at the hotel where Team FUG is lodging, following the cliffhanger from the last episode, as Viole intervenes in a conflict between Anaak Jahad and Khun Ran. Both are dispatched by Viole towards Archimedes. Aiding Verdi’s controlled doll, Shibisu utilizes a ring that suppresses the wearer’s Shinsu emission, putting Viole in a predicament as he struggles to summon his usual strength. This ring is produced by Verdi’s enormous octopus, which drains the Shinsu that Viole tries to manipulate. Meanwhile, Yuto from Team FUG suffers a grave injury at the hands of Vespa, an individual possessing abilities like bees and other Apoidea. The wound is treated with a lethal poison; if the antidote-laden honey isn’t given within five minutes, she will perish. To prevent any fatalities, Viole displays his hidden power in full force – a strength he has only occasionally shown before, as Ilmar Beniamino questioned him about it prior to his departure to find Cassano.

It’s suggested that Bam, like Ilmar and Cassano, may possess a unique ability similar to their “Devil of the Right/Left Arm”, making him another potential Ignition Weapon. Previously, this mysterious power within Bam was observed as the cause of his rapid healing capabilities. However, in this instance, we see it used offensively for the first time. Much like Ilmar and Cassano Beniamino, Bam exhibits a wing-like structure emanating from his back, but his appears more like an actual wing and significantly enhances his attack strength.

We are treated to a piece of enjoyable animation as Viole activates this power and charges at Shibisu’s ally, Amigo, and there’s even an epic impact frame that caps off a pretty decent fight sequence and a great look at the devilish power Viole has been hiding. He makes quick work of Vespa, and forces a negotiation with Shibisu: in exchange for their bullets and the antidote honey, Viole will send Shibisu and all his comrades to the Archimedes. Novick asks him why he saved Anaak as well, but Viole doesn’t answer, instead asking Novick to send Riplejo to the Archimedes under the guise of it being an order from Viole.

The Workshop Battle Begins For Real

Endorsi Learns a Shocking Truth

With no more attendees, the long-awaited Workshop Battle is now officially scheduled onboard the Archimedes. Unfortunately for Team Shibisu, it appears they will have to face off without Endorsi, as she was tasked with dealing with a swarm of sentry robots left behind by Traveller and Viole.

Following the capture of the final individual, Endorsi fortuitously encounters Traveller, whom she grills about Jue Viole Grace’s location. However, Traveller is puzzled since the man he was with isn’t Viole but The Twenty-Fifth Bam. It takes Endorsi a brief moment to comprehend his words. In essence, episode 16 of Tower of God season 2 was fairly engaging, skillfully knitting together key narrative threads and offering an intriguing glimpse into the concealed power that Bam/Viole possesses.

Tower of God Season 2 is available to stream on Crunchyroll.
