“Tower of God” captivated anime fans with its unique storyline and engaging characters when it first premiered in 2020. Adapted from the popular webtoon by SIU, the series follows Bam as he navigates the treacherous challenges within the mysterious tower to reunite with his friend Rachel. With “Tower of God” Season 2 on the horizon, here’s a detailed look at what to expect, including the release date, time, and where to watch.
Tower of God – Season 1 Recap
The first season of “Tower of God” aired from April 1, 2020, to June 24, 2020, and comprised 13 episodes. It introduced us to Bam, an “Irregular” who enters the tower to find Rachel. The tower is filled with complex tests and dangerous challenges, overseen by various administrators. Season 1 culminates in a shocking betrayal when Rachel pushes Bam off a ledge, leaving him for dead. However, Bam survives and resolves to continue his ascent.
Tower of God – Season 2 Plotline
Season 2 will adapt significant arcs from the webtoon, specifically the “Return of the Prince” and “Workshop Battle” arcs. Bam, now using the alias Jyu Viole Grace, is forced to join a criminal organization called FUG. His mission becomes darker as he is tasked with assassinating those who oversee the tower.
