Just for fun (and to make these easier to find) I have made a compilation of JSRF quotes!

I did find the quotes from this video by RisingSonic17 on YouTube. I do suggest watching it as it gives more context to the lines:

Keep in mind that some interactions may be missing, as I have never played JSRF and may be unaware of some interactions. Characters and their quotes appear in chronological order according to the video.

Corn:

"This is the GG's Garage. Hey, where's our pizza? Huh? You're not the pizza guy? Oh, you're here to join the GG's, eh? Heh... Tell you what. Find Gum. She's the one you wanna talk to. Just get close to her and pull the 'Right Trigger'. Got it?"

"Why don't you talk to her now?"

"Now, just 'cause you're new don't mean you can act like a big baby. The police are tightening up here, especially since the Rokkaku took over the police force. I know we look crazy 'n all, but even we know to pick our fights. So don't mess things up for the rest of us, got it?"

"Roboy's training changes as your skill level changes, so be on the lookout."

"I had a feeling Poison Jam would have their hideout in the sewers beneath Rokkaku-dai Heights. This is it... looks like the time to throw down has finally come."

"Man, those Poison Jam freaks are out of control. I say we start on Chuo Street and cover everything to Rokkaku-dai Heights and 99th Street in our graffiti. Chuo Street is probably the best place to start."

"Roboy told you, right? If you find a Mystery Tape, you gotta check the GG-notebook. It'll tell you where to find the Graffiti Souls in the area."

"Where the hell is Yoyo? Maybe he freaked out and skipped town? I'm sure he's alright. But we gotta take care of those Immortals. They've been walkin' around like they own the place. We gotta go and cover up all their graffiti."

"I'll send those Immortals back to the grave as many times as I need to!"

"We'll stop those Noise Tanks!"

Gum:

"Poison Jam knows something about Yoyo. I know they do."

"Damn! Punk, I'll get you for that!"

"The fortified residential zone... that's deep in the ghetto. And it could be the fake one again..."

"Here they come. The crazies from the Golden Rhinos. Concentrate, and watch your back. These guys ain't no joke."

"We gotta protect the streets. That's not a choice. We can't let these fools just waltz in and take over."

"The real enemy is your own fear. Remember that."

"So you're the cat that wants to join us, huh? I don't know where you're from, but the streets are tough. Real tough. Let's see what you're made of. We'll start you off nice and slow. Let's see how much air you can grab. Press the "A Button" to jump."

"Dogenzaka Hill is GG territory. I heard there's some headphone wearin' freak creepin' up here. If I could just find him, I'd show him what's up...."

"You can do it, can't you?"

"There are a couple of places in Shibuya Terminal where you can get on the roof of some buildings. You can get there by jumping from a Grind. You should check it out. Who knows what you'll find up there? When you're looking for something, the best place to start is the Map. You can see it by pressing the START button."

"The area of 99th Street is built around a tower that has a bunch of places to Grind. Definitely check that place out. There are also telephone poles to Grind and billboards to Wallride... the most important thing is to just try everything out. Oh, and don't forget to check the map by pressing the START button. That should give you some helpful hints"

"We actually found Roboy in a dumpster. Corn fixed him up real nice."

"I've been lost in the severs before. Its kinda crazy in there, but as long as you keep moving up, you'll be ok."

"Yoyo just can't chill and stay out, can he? He'll be back soon, I'm sure. I heard the Immortals hang out in the skyscraper district or something..."

"Actually, they say Roboy is actually a Noise Tank prototype. Don't tell him that though, ok? We don't wanna make him cry or nothin'. In any case, we're gonna get those damn Noise Tanks."

Yoyo:

"Those tracks should connect Sky Dinosaurian Square to the edge of the skyscraper district..."

"I hear that Poison Jam's woman leader has been showin' her face in town."

"Man, the Rhinos gotta be pissed off!"

"Shibuya Terminal is in a state of panic. I really wanna stay out of this, but we gotta go over there and take care of business."

"Don't use your eyes. Just try to feel it, ya know?"

"Graffiti has the power to wake up the energy that's asleep in the streets of Tokyo. The Rokkaku Group... the police... they don't know what's up. So let's just cover this whole place in art, yo."

"Yo, you know that dude Hayashi from the Rokkaku police force? That guy is one messed up dude. He's a complete psycho. Watch out for him."

"I heard through the grapevine that some weird-lookin' girl's been hangin' out at Rokkaku-dai Heights."

"So you think Poison Jam is after us?"

"We gotta get the Doganzaka Hill goddess statue that Poison Jam took. We better hurry, or things are gonna get real ugly."

Beat:

"Anything go down while I was gone?"

"I've always thought that thing in Shibuya Terminal was nasty lookin' anyway! Let's do a little redecoration."

"Sometimes, you just gotta get moving or else nothin's gonna get done, yo.

"Hey, I've heard of you. You're one of the GG's, huh? Tell you what... I'll race you. If I can beat you in a race around Doganzaka Hill, then this place belongs to me. Got it?"

"Hope you won't regret that."

"Shibuya Terminal? Now that you mention it, there was this huge guy wandering around there... And fishy graffiti? That sounds familiar, but I didn't really look close enough to see if the graffiti that the fool was paintin' actually looked like a fish or nothin'."

"Hey. Is it true Poison Jam used to cause trouble in Chuo Street under a different name?"

"Rapid 99 of 99th Street. They don't show their faces in public very often. Some say Rapid 99 and Poison Jam are sworn enemies because something big went down a while back. I don't know the details, though. A friend of mine told me that the girls in Rapid 99 are real lookers. I just think he was too scared of 'em to say otherwise. In any case, it ain't gonna be easy to find 'em."

"You meet Rapid 99 yet?"

"Noise Tanks? Never heard of 'em. But we gotta find Yoyo. I'll go through the sewers and check out Kiboganoka Hill."

"Those Immortals really get on my nerves..."

"Crazy stuff is going down all over town! Looks like it's time for a little clean up... GG's style!"

Combo:

"Time to get serious."

"This kid's kinda funny."

"This time we should be able to tell if it's the real one or the fake Yoyo just by talkin' to him, right?"

"That crazy guy?! What're you talkin' about? He looks nothing like me. Besides, we don't got time to deal with that fool. Remember? The Golden Rhinos??"

"Well, they told us to come. Don't look like we got any choice."

"There are some things that you can only feel when you're out in the streets, you know?"

"What's this?! Who's been sprayin' these ugly tags on my turf?! Hmph. I'm guessin' it was you... Its on! If you loose, you're gonna be answerin' to me from now on, punk!"

"You think you can do this too? Let's see it!"

"Man, you're not all that. Here, I'll show you one more time."

"The deep end of the sewers is closed off because it's contaminated. At least, that's what I heard..."

"Hey, why you gotta go out and get a dog?! There's only one thing I hate more than dogs, and that's goldfish."

"I heard Rapid 99 used to run under a leader named Cube..."

"Thing that ticks me off most is, the Immortals ain't worth all this talk and trouble. I wonder if they got somethin' to do with Yoyo's disappearance?"

"There's a bunch of real big guys with real big attitudes causin' a big scene over on Highway Zero. Maybe they might know something about the Noise Tanks. Man, where the hell is Yoyo?!"

Rynth:

"What is UP with Yoyo, anyway?!"

"Hey, Graffiti Souls are a big commodity, right?"

"I don't care if it's a golden rhino or a blue hippo, I'll send 'em right back to the zoo where they belong."

"What's their master plan? I mean, the Golden Rhinos don't seem like their just out here to run the streets, you know what I'm sayin'?" (This quote was spelled like this in game. From my knowledge it should be "they're just out here...")

"Here comes Gouji. Let's end this."

"Did you get all the Graffiti Souls? We still got a full laundry list of things to take care of, you know."

"Hehehe... So this is your hideout."

"Poison Jam are... kinda cute!"

"Is it just me, or does Captain Hayashi not look like he eats his breakfast?"

Poison Jam:

"I don't think Yoyo's that kind of a person."

"I think hes hiding something."

"This feels like a trap. Be careful."

"Someone's after DJ-K?! You sure about that?!"

"Gouji Rokkaku is kinda interesting. But, I think he went a little too far this time..."

"I love everything about Tokyo... even the things I hate."

"Hur hur hur. You want to get rid of us, don't you? Nothing in life is free. You gotta work for it. Beat us in this race and we won't mess with you anymore."

"Har har har!! I told ya'll you were a bunch of wussies!"

Rapid 99:

"ghahah! Next thing you know, you will be all crying like a baby."

"If you can win a flag battle against us, I'll tell you where Poison Jam' s hideout is."

"Suit yourself."

Garam:

"I won't hold back."

"Hey. Keep it real."

"There's this lightning-quick girl over at Kiboganoka Hill. Dunno if she's still there. But man, I gotta say, I'm really trippin' out over Yoyo missin' and all."

"When it comes down to it, the Immortals are just dried up mummies, man. I bet they all nasty under those bandages."

Boogie:

"The Noise Tanks might look strong, but they're like cheap action figures! Just run into them and they fall apart! Oh yeah, that girl from the stadium... I heard she's been lookin' for us. You seen her yet?"

"Aww man..."

"The fortified residential zone... it's directly attached to the underground sewers. Man. I don't like that place at all."

"Is that dude in black even human? My heart's pounding... I don't know why."

"You're never as good as you can be! Don't slack off!"

"Y'all are crazy!"

Jazz:

"This doesn't look good."

"Alright. Stay cool."

"Yeah.... we were a little too laid back this time, I think."

"The fortified residential zone... hey, why don't we pick numbers to decide who goes?"

"It's about time the Rhinos brought things up a notch. We better be ready to get real serious too."

"What the hell IS that big thing, anyway? But, you better watch out for that fool in black..."

"If you get a "Jet" in the Trials, you can even use people who aren't here to take out into the streets."

"You're one of the GG's, right? Then tell this fool that they got the wrong girl! They think I'm one of you guys! So, they dragged me out here and looked what's happened to me!!"

"Hurry up! Tell him that I'm not a GG!!"

Noise Tanks:

"Hey, you're that GG that helped me out! Thanks for that man. Say... there's something that I've been wondering since then. You wanna find out who's the fastest? I KNOW I can beat you. Let's give it a shot!"

"Alright. Fine. See ya."

"I'll get 'em good no matter what!"

"The more worked up we get about this, the harder it'll be to find what we're lookin' for."

"There's somethin' not right about the way the Golden Rhino's are actin'."

"Why are those Golden Rhinos going after the Radio station? Well, make sure to be on the lookout for Captain Psychopath."

"We gotta save DJ-K! I can't stand listening to this music anymore!"

"If this town could talk, what poetry it would speak..."

"Ready?"

"Practice all you want, it will not make a difference."

"It is not over yet. Prepare yourselves."

"Heh... Go on. Fight!"

"Are you ready?"

Special interactions:

"Sometimes it just doesn't matter how much you practice."

Slate:

"Dude. I'm bored. Entertain me."

"Hmph. What a bore."

"My sources tell me that the Noise Tanks and the Rokkaku Group are in this together. Be careful."

"So is that Clutch guy in with Rokkaku too? Or is he just a little punk?"

"I'm about ready."

"The Golden Rhinos are really startin' to get on my nerves..."

"I got better things to do than play house with Gouji Rokkaku, but man, that big ugly thing has GOT to go."

"Graffiti Souls' sole purpose is to be sought out."

Clutch:

"You're looking for that kid, Yoyo, right? Tell ya what, if you go out and get some Graffiti Soul points... Hey! Wait a sec, you've already got quite a few. Lemme see those... Sucka! Thanks for the Graffiti Souls! See ya around!"

"Hah, hah! I look forward to it!"

"I dunno, but I just don't get what's going on here. Heh..."

"This Gouji Rokkaku dude is pretty funny!"

"Haaaahaha! Tokyo ain't half bad!"

Cube:

"If you can beat me at my own game, I'll leave you alone."

"Suit yourself."

"The fortified residential zone... Unless you're absolutely sure of your skills, you should stay away from that place."

"I've dealt with the Golden Rhinos once before. If you don't take them seriously, you're as good as dead."

"I can't stand even looking at that thing. Its just so... so... damn ugly!"

"Yeah. You just have to try everything with an open mind."

Beat to Corn:

"So you're the leader of the GG's? Heh... How's this sound? If I beat you in a race around Doganzaka Hill, you and your buddies have to answer to me from now on. If you beat me... well, we'll just see when it happens."

"Huuuh? You're so boooring..."

Talking to Beat in the garage before fighting the police:

"Anyway, I'm ready to rock. But what's up with that pooch, eh? Where did ya pick him up? You sure that's not the leader in disguise? Heh heh. Its only a matter of time before I become the leader of the GG's anyway."

Combo to Gum:

"What's this?! Who's been sprayin' these ugly tags on my turf?! Hmph. Was it you, princess? You've been a bad, bad girl. You've better hit me with everything you've got, 'cause I ain't gonna hold back just because you're a girl!!"

"The cue tone get you all jumpy?"

"You liked that, eh? I'll do it again for you."

Yoyo to Rynth:

"You're... like... you know... yo."

"Where'd you come from?"

Gum to Rynth:

Rynth to Beat:

"Cool. Welcome aboard."

"You kinda... smell weird."

Garam to Boogie:

"Hey. I'm next in command around here, little lady. The name's Garam,"

Combo to Boogie:

"This group is growing bigger every day. Fool just dig me, I guess."

Gum to Boogie:

"So you're the one from Kiboganoka Hill, huh? Well, this is the GG's. What you see is what you get. Just be yourself, you'll be cool."

Garam to Jazz:

"Well, um... I... uh... be cool."

"That freak who's been making all those weird tags... you think he's connected with the Golden Rhinos somehow?"

Boogie to Garam:

"Alright. Stay cool."

Jazz to Garam:

"I feel ya, but I think you should try to chill a bit. Keep it together."

Corn to Clutch:

"What a fool. But the fortified residential zone... that's deep in the ghetto. And it could be the fake one again..."

Jazz to Clutch:

"Don't push your luck."

Beat to Clutch:

"You just wanted some attention from us, right? Aww..."

Combo to Clutch:

"Man, you're such a jerk I almost like you."

Garam to Clutch:

"One of these days, I'll get you one-on-one! Just you and me, fool!"

Boogie to Clutch:

"Fine. I'll let you off just this once."

Slate to Clutch:

"Heh... Stay outta trouble."

Corn to Yoyo:

"Long time no see, bro."

Clutch to Yoyo:

"So you're that Yoyo guy, huh? Heh..."

Jazz to Yoyo:

"So, you're the real deal, huh? 'Sup. I'm Jazz."

Combo to Yoyo:

"You gonna go and try to get back into shape, huh?'

Garam to Yoyo:

"Heh... I caused enough havoc for the both of us while you were gone, bro."

Rynth to Yoyo:

"The most unbelievable stuff was happening while you were gone! Hehehe..."

Yoyo to Slate:

"Hey, sorry about all that, yo. My bad. But thanks to those fools, I'm all out of shape now. Maybe I'll go out and cause a little havoc to warm up, yo."

Yoyo to Jazz:

"Man, things have sure gotten busier sice I was last here?"

Gum to Beat:

"That fool dressed in black who's been hanging around Chuo Street... now that I think about it, you guys kinda look alike."

Clutch to Beat:

"In times like this, you won't fall as long as you look where you're going. Heh heh."

Garam to Beat:

"Hey, you know that guy everyone's been saying looks like you? Well, is it you?"

There is some cutscene dialogue missing from these lines. If I can find all the cutscenes, then I'll be sure to add them.

Let’s Talk About Endorsi

Endorsi Jahad: a simultaneously loved, yet mildly divisive character. I personally believe she’s a fascinating character with a well-defined personality, and also an incredible example of likable female characters who don’t have to be 100% pure in their motivations. In this post, I hope to take a closer look at Endorsi, her motivations, and her personal character arc.

The Backstory

Endorsi’s backstory is indicative of how she interacts with the members of the cast as a character. It is not a happy one, and it relates to her overarching character arc that develops throughout the story.

Endorsi starts with the murder of her parents and adoption into one of the Ten Great Families. However, this “adoption” was not out of generosity. They pitted young girls against each other at hopes of producing a Princess. This is where Endorsi spends who knows how many years, being told to fight against her sisters, or starve. Walk on the backs of others, kill your competition if necessary, or eat stale bread on the floor for the rest of your life and potentially be killed by one of your sisters.

So she conformed to what was expected of her. She was brutal. She was cruel. But she survived, and she was chosen to be a Princess. One would think this could be a turning point in her life, but the Royal Family only continues to perpetuate the ideas forced upon her.

The Royal Family

The Princesses are a unique story element. It could be viewed as empowering at a first glance, talented young women being granted incredible power, but the Royal Family is oppressive, and not that dissimilar to what Endorsi went through to become a Princess in the first place.

The Princesses are set up to fight against each other and antagonize one another. Princesses have killed each other in the past, yet no one batted an eye. It’s considered normal, this brutal competition between them all. While dialogue from Garam seems to indicate that the true nature of the Princesses, to potentially be a wife for Jahad, is not as commonly known in the present day, let the implications of that sink in. The original purpose of this system was to have talented young women potentially kill each other and the one left standing would have the “privilege” of marrying the king. Even worse is that this original agreement was never going to be upheld by Jahad in the first place, in the end literally making this a system of having powerful women fight each other.

While not every Princess is openly hostile towards each other, they are used to uphold the contract each agrees to upon entering the Royal Family. As seen with Anaak Sr., the crime of marrying a man and having a child is punishable by death. Break the rules, and your “sisters” will hunt you down and execute you.

As Endorsi says, she is “One of the many Princesses in Zahard's cabinet of display shoes.” She is a commodity of the King, free in-so-far as she doesn’t deviate too far from his will. Granted power in exchange for brutal, eternal rivalries.

The Present

This brings us the Endorsi of the manhwa. Since her parents’ death, all she’s known is a life of brutal competition for survival. While things certainly got easier after becoming a Princess, they only did so marginally. Keeping in mind the backstabbing nature of the Tower in general, her actions make much more sense. For example, in the Name Hunt Station, she was in a horrible spot that she needed to get out of. Her actions are not excusable by any means, but are absolutely understandable given the past three-hundred years of her life. She did underhanded things to survive, to make it to the next day.

However, Endorsi is slowly changing, which brings us to the next point.

Bam

I’m not an Endorsi/Bam shipper by any means, but the impact of their friendship on Endorsi as a person is incredibly important. I’d like to call back an old line said in the first season of the manhwa.

“I don’t believe in friendship between men and women.”

When I was reading, I groaned at this line. This line of reasoning makes no sense to me at all. Yet as the story continued, it became clear that this was not SIU’s belief, as there are many, many instances of friendships between men and women in the story. Endorsi herself, although she’d never admit it, is friends with Shibisu and Hatsu. So where does this line come from?

It’s quite obvious, when you put it into the greater context of the narrative. Endorsi and Anaak are around the same age, putting Anaak Sr.’s death into recent memory for the Princesses of Jahad. When Endorsi was selected to be a Princess, it’s not a stretch to think about the warnings she was told. “Don’t get too close to men. You saw what happened to someone who broke that rule.” Once again, for self-preservation, she wanted to keep men at a distance. Better to not get involved with men in any meaningful capacity in the first place.

Which brings us back to Bam. You have Endorsi, forced into a narrative of survival of the fittest from a young age, and Bam, a sweet, kind of dorky kid who also happens to be really cute. And who won’t take “no” for an answer in regards to friendship. She lets him know about her bloody past, most likely in an attempt to scare him off, but it doesn’t work. That’s just who Bam is. It’s not too much of a stretch to imagine she’d develop feelings for him.

As for Bam, he barely knew what the Princesses were when he met Endorsi. There was no special treatment from him; she was just his friend, not a commodity or public figure.

There within this lies the start of Endorsi’s character arc: to reclaim her agency.

During season 2, Bam becomes firmly sided against Jahad. In season 3, this escalates into full on war. Endorsi is caught between two sides: her role as a Princess and her friendship with Bam.

There’s no proof that Endorsi has any kind of respect for Jahad. Instead, the source of the conflict is fear. Going rouge is a death sentence for a Princess - she’d had as much hammered into her head after Anaak’s death. The Endorsi at the beginning of the story would have no conflict: ally with Jahad, keep her head down, and make it to the next day, her own thoughts and wishes be damned. However, she’s spent enough time in an environment where she was able to make choices for herself, to have a say in what she did with her life and who she allied with, that she puts up some resistance.

Slowly, ever so slowly, she is breaking free from the influence of Jahad and her upbringing as she makes a choice that goes against everything she has been taught. To ally with Bam of her own volition, despite the danger it would bring to herself, is a huge step in taking control of her own destiny.

So where will she go from here?

At this point, it’s hard to say how her character arc will flesh out, although I do have some predictions. I predict this will come to a head with Endorsi publicly turning her back on the Royal Family. Maybe not fully siding with FUG in the war, but refusing to be Jahad’s pawn in the war against her friend. However her and Bam’s relationship plays out, I believe his continued influence and respect for her as a person will help her be more proactive in making her own choices.

One of the themes of Tower of God is deciding your own fate. As has been said to Bam numerous times, destiny is something he chooses for himself. He does not have to “be a vessel for Arlene’s revenge” if he doesn’t want to. Endorsi finally taking back her agency she was stripped of and turning her back on what her family groomed her into would be a prime example of this theme.

In conclusion: stan Endorsi x Therapy and a Supportive Environment

680.

Do you or have you ever owned a cup with your name on it? >> Actually, I have two. One time there was this dude in Meijer who was doing a promotion for Guinness, and the promo was apparently... giving out custom-engraved pint glasses???? You told him your name and he had this machine that put it on the glass for you. It was weird, especially since it was free... The font that your name is in is a bit wack, though. The other thing I have is a wine glass painted with a nighttime-y scene with skeletal trees and ravens on it. It has my name painted on the stand part, along with the date of my wedding. Sparrow has one too, with her name on it. I’m not even sure where they came from, tbh, but they’re pretty.

What’s the most expensive crafts tool that you own? >> I don’t think I own any expensive crafts tools. The only things I have are, like, pencils, a sketchbook, knitting needles, and yarn.

Have you ever woven baskets of any kind (wicker, paper, cardboard etc.)? >> Maybe as a child.

How do you like Great Balls of Fire by Jerry Lee Lewis? >> It’s all right.

Speaking of Jerry Lee Lewis, have you seen the biopic about him? >> I don’t think so.

How about the biopic about Tina Turner? >> Yeah, I saw that one.

Do you like the TV-show Frasier? >> I do, it’s actually funnier to me now than when I was younger. Back then I thought it was boring but it kills me now.

What’s something you know by heart? >> A lot of song lyrics? Also, the Litany Against Fear.

What is something you’re greedy about? >> I don’t think I’m particularly greedy about anything.

How valuable does a coin have to be for you to bother to pick it up? >> I’d pick up a quarter, maybe. I’m just no longer in the financial position where picking up coins substantially enhances my available funds.

What would be something you would wait in line to get for free? >> It depends on how long the line is, what kind of mood I’m in, and where I am... not just on what the item is. If I’m in a good mood and the line seems manageable, I’d wait in it even if the item is just some random trinket that I have no real use for. If I’m not in a good mood and the line is insane, I wouldn’t wait in it even if it was for an expensive thing I’ve been wanting for ages.

Has there ever been a leak anywhere in your house? >> No.

Have you ever slipped in the shower? >> Not to the point of falling.

Have you ever made any decorative crafts? If so, are they displayed? >> Not in recent memory.

Is it very humid where you are right now? >> Nah.

What is the most suggestive thing someone has said to you? >> *shrug*

Do you have friends who you playfully flirt with? >> No.

Doesn’t the Z in the Bzoink logo look like an L to you, too? >> I mean, not really, but I see where you’re coming from.

Did you ever take that 5000 question survey that was circulating Tumblr? >> Yeah, I took it a long time ago. Once the novelty wore off, I realised that most of the questions were just terrible IMO, which is bound to happen once you endeavour to write a survey with quite that many questions.

Have you ever had to change a zipper in your favourite article of clothing? >> No.

Do you prefer buttons or zippers in general? >> Zippers.

Did you grandma have a box full of pretty buttons? >> ---

What’s the most exotic spice in your spice rack? >> Hmm... garam masala, maybe? We have a wide variety.

Do buttons tempt you to press them? >> Not usually, but sometimes.

Do you have a favourite television host? >> No.

What’s your opinion on celebrity chefs? >> I think some of them are cool and fun to watch. Alton Brown is probably my fave.

Back when it first started, did you watch ANTM? >> I think I’ve seen a season or two. I knew someone who got on it, too (Isis King).

Did you know, that there was even a Finnish version of ANTM? Miss Jay made an appearance in the first season, too. >> No, I didn’t know that, but it makes sense. There are a bunch of those shows modeled after American Idol, too, for different countries.

Are you accident prone? >> No.

Have you ever broken something really valuable? >> I accidentally broke a laptop screen once, and that was pretty damn valuable to me.

What do you see as timeless? >> ---

What is something that you own, that has sentimental value? >> Most of these plushies.

Have you ever had your own website? >> Yeah, I’ve taken stabs at it.

What’s your favourite board game? >> ---

How about your favourite card game? >> ---

What’s something that you finished recently? >> I finished watching Sparrow play through Death Stranding, lol. I’m glad it was her and not me, because I’m pretty sure that game would have made me ragequit within the first few hours, and that would have been a shame.

What’s the smallest town you recall visiting? >> I have no idea.

What’s the longest distance you’ve had to go to work or school? >> ---

Would you learn a new language, if you didn’t share one with your lover? >> Oh, like in Love Actually? I mean, I can’t imagine myself in that situation, but I thought it was cute.

Do you have friends who are constantly tagging you in challenges on FB? >> No. People who have me on facebook should know I prefer to do my actual fun socialising on here or Discord.

When it comes to chocolate, do you prefer nougat, jelly or caramel filling? >> ---

Are you more concerned about winning than just participating? >> No.

Has somebody you know taken their own life? >> No.

What is a number that has some significance to you? Why is that? >> 9. Well, there’s a lot of synchronicity.

Do you prefer onions, leeks or chives? >> I don’t think I have a preference, I’ll take all three. Onions may be the most versatile, though, so maybe those.

What’s the most adult thing you have to do every day? >> I don’t think I have to do any adult thing every day. Maybe feeding myself is an adult thing? Although teenagers and even kids do that too.

What’s the most immature thing you like to do every day? >> ---

Have you seen the movie, Clue? If so, isn’t it fab? >> No, but I’ve seen some funny gifsets that make me think it’d probably be a good time. I might give it a shot if I run into it on a streaming service one day.

Do your cheeks get flushed easily? Do you blush easily in general? >> No, I’ve never felt that feeling.

Are there any social cues you miss entirely? >> Oh, definitely.

When someone doesn’t smile back at you, what’s your first thought? >> They probably didn’t want to, and that’s okay. I don’t always want to smile at everyone who smiles at me, either, and it shouldn’t be a mark against my character just because I don’t smile at a stranger. But, you know, whatever. Any stranger that takes that much offense at me not smiling at them probably wouldn’t get along with me for very long anyway, so it’s a useful social litmus test in the end.

Is there a person who melts your heart just by looking at you? >> No. Well, maybe Can Calah sometimes.

Have you ever had tom kha kai? It’s a Thai coconut soup, and it’s amazing. We serve it at work. >> No, but I’d definitely try it.

Have you, or anyone you know ever been rude to a server? >> I’ve never had the experience of having to watch someone I’m with be rude to a server and I am so glad for that.

What’s something you’re opinionated and very vocal about? When’s the last time you had to verbally defend your stance? >> I don’t know. I don’t really defend any stance of mine, I just put it out there sometimes if I feel like rambling about it and then leave it alone. Arguing with people about shit that ultimately really don’t matter is a waste of my valuable energy.

Have you ever played BitLife? I sort of got hooked on it, it’s like sims but in text form. >> No. I quite like the graphical form of The Sims, so I’ll stick to that.

What’s something you regularly order online? >> CBD.

When’s the last time you made a penpal? >> I’ve never had one.

Do you often make friends online? >> I make a lot of acquaintances online. Friends are far fewer.

Do people ever try to get something from somebody through you? As in, they ask you to ask the person they should be asking in the first place. If that makes sense. >> No. Which is good, because I wouldn’t do it.

What do you think when you see a couple holding hands? >> Nothing???

Is there anything you’re forced to share with someone else? >> No.

What’s something stripy that you own? >> I have a black-and-royal-blue striped robe with the Ravenclaw logo on the back.

How about something polka dotted? >> Nothing.

What is something you find absolutely appalling? >> Some people’s utterly disrespectful behaviour on this website.

Do you like elevators? >> I mean, they’re fine. I don’t dislike them.

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when I say “midnight madness”? >> Like... premieres? Or book releases? Or something like that. I have a vague association but I can’t remember exactly where it comes from.

What is a country you would never want to visit? >> ---

When you’re angry, does it ever get physical? >> Well, yeah, but not necessarily towards someone else.

What do you do, when you’re immensely happy? >> It depends on how I feel like expressing it at the time? Sometimes I don’t express it much at all, and sometimes I literally jump around the room.

What made you scream out loud the last time you screamed? >> ---

Can you hear your neighbours through the wall? >> Sometimes.

What is something that frustrates you to no end? >> Noise.

Do you wear shoes indoors? >> Absolutely not.

Who is your favourite stand-up comedian? >> Bo Burnham, Dylan Moran, and in general I’m fond of how Tiffany Haddish presents as a person and performer.

What’s the weirdest video youtube has suggested to you? >> It doesn’t usually suggest me anything weird.

What’s the funniest infomercial you’ve seen? >> ---

Is there a drink that just goes right through you? >> I don’t feel that way about any drink, no.

Is there a food item you can’t eat because it doesn’t agree with you? >> Not that I’ve encountered.

Do you playfully compete with someone about something? >> No.

Would you rather swim or run? >> I can’t swim, so my options are a little limited here.

Do you like the smell of tar? >> Sometimes, yeah.

Have you ever been to a sauna? >> No. I couldn’t last two minutes in a sauna.

Does your doorbell ring unexpectedly often? >> Not often, but sometimes people will ring multiple apartments trying to get into the building, which is fucking irritating.

Is your favourite fictional character a human, an animal or something else? >> I am my favourite fictional character. /facetious

Have you ever helped a stranger? If so, what did you do? >> I mean, sure. Just simple stuff, like picking up something they’ve dropped or letting them know they’ve left their key in the apartment door or dropping their mail off when it gets mistakenly put into my box.

Do you share hobbies with any of your friends? What do you do together? >> ---

Do you have any flags on display? If so, what flag(s)? >> I don’t. Sparrow has a rainbow flag with a peace sign in the middle on her wall.

Tower of God S2ch238 Rough Translations

My allergy started up and I drank the normal anti-histamine so now I’m super drowsy and I don’t think I can stay up later than this to wait for the official raw so THIS IS A SCHEDULED POST. Any changes between the preview and official versions won’t be reflected in this.

Garam.. / So she's taken an interest with the intruder..

He's the first one after Urek Mazino..

...?

I have no choice. / I'll let you in.

....?!

You two are especially allowed to enter with your souls.

What..?!

You'll know the reason once you enter. / I will give back the soul that I took

But keep this in mind.

You can only last there with a soul for a week.

Any more than that and you will become the prey of the dead / so you better get out before then if you want to live.

43F Hell Train - Floor of Death - 07

Wow.. what an incredibly complex passage.. / What's that red water that came out of the blue?

We've entered the Floor Guardian's blood.

That blood is highly-concentrated shinsoo that is necessary for the people in the Floor of Death to live.

Once you step inside the Floor of Death, the shinsoo density becomes extremely low. / So we adjust its density by letting the blood flow in

through the fine blood vessels on the corpse of the Floor Guardian that are connected outside.

And the thick blood vessels were gathered together to create this "hall". / Although it's unknown who exactly did it..

This hall leads to the inner city and is our biggest gateway and lifeline. / The problem is that someone inside who has power wants to control this as he pleases.

Of course, one can come in through the blood vessels but / it's too complex and dangerous that there's never been a record of an outsider breaking in through them.

Hockney-

Let me talk with you for a second!!

W-what the hell is that person?!

He's too suspicious!! / He has a lot of souls and uses strange shinsoo!!

There's no way the last gatekeeper would let us in just like that!! / What if he's a very dangerous guy?

.........?

It's a good thing, though. / Thanks to him, I could get into the Floor of Death alive..

But still!!

Just because you've seen how powerful he is / you think he's already dangerous, Mata?

For me, at least, he doesn't seem to be.

It's not good to judge others so quickly.

...Hockney.

Could it be.. / you feel a sort of "kinship" with him?

...Kinship?

If you mean feeling a similarity.. / ..I think he's a strange person.. so maybe..

Hockney!!

That's it!! That's the first step to making a friend!!

W-what?!

That sense of kinship!!

Congratulations!! You've finally found someone who could be your friend!!

I-It's not like that!!

Friend!! Friend!!

...What are they doing?

S-shut up!!

Anyway, it's good that he got separated from his friends. / For now, let's find your painting together with him!!

B-but that's too..

...? / Leggy..?

W-what the?! Who are you!!

You look pretty cute up close.

.....?!

No wonder two Zahard princesses are sticking close to you.

Hey you!! Where do you think you're sitting!!

Get off right now!?

Mata..!! / That's..!!

...?

That woman.. / is strong.

Perhaps.. the strongest person I have ever seen..

W-what the!?

That guy has special eyes..

Are you really one who entered by opening the door? / Though you don't seem to be ignorant/idiotic like Urek..

...Urek?

You know Urek-ssi?

Well, yeah.. / But it would've been better if I never knew that idiot.

Let's talk after moving.

Hey!! What do you think you're doing now!!

The destination.. is North City.

Alright. That's good.

Go, Hairy.

It's Leggy!!

Mata.. That's not what's important right now..

Uwaaaaa!!

What the!! / How come there's more now!!

That's because they don't die!!

What should I do, Evan?

There's nothing we can do against immortal creatures!! / We can only run!!

Shit!!

If it's this wide..!!

Take those guys, Evan!!

What?!

Running away isn't my style..!!

So I'll make them not able to follow me!!

Rose Shower!?

What's that crazy girl doing!!

Damn!! Are you trying to kill us!!

Are you... Jyu Viole Grace-nim's companions?

Huh?!

W-who are you!?

Wow!! Looks like I'm right!! Then that must be Yuri Zahard-nim!!

She's a redhead.. like Hwa Ryun?

I'm here because Hwa Ryun-unni asked me to!!

I'll show you the way!!

Urgh- That woman, doing whatever she wants...!!

Hold it in.. if you don't want to die..

(Though you don't have a soul so maybe it's not really dying)

She knows Urek-ssi.. / Who in the world is she?

(Leggy is like my family!!)

(That's what I was trying to say.) (*not sure if I got this right)

I don't think she plans to hurt us..

Maybe she knows something about me?

We're here.

That was quick, Hairy.

It's Leggy!

Anyway-

North of the Floor of Death North City

Welcome to North City.

We're not going with the giant worm from here on out. / So come down.

You brought us here without any explanation and now you're telling us to come down!! / Why should I do what you're telling me to do!!

Ah, you two don't actually have to come down.

I only have business with the boy wearing the coat. / You two can go back.

But boy. You must follow me. There is something I must tell you.

I think you two can go back. / I'm going to follow her.

...What? / You're going to follow such a suspicious girl?!

Yes.. She might have a clue to what I'm looking for.

It's unfortunate that I'm separating with you two here..

.........

......!!

We came here together so I can't do that!! / If you're going, then we're going too!!

....Mata..?

Don't you think it's a pity if we just send him away like this?

...But what about looking for my painting..

It's only for today.

Who knows, maybe you can find what's really important..

...What's really important..?

Yeah.

Yaaduuu!!

Giant Winged Worm Yadu

A- A giant winged worm!! It's my first time seeing someone handle a giant winged worm!! / They can actually be tamed!?

Who is that girl!?

Come in.

W-we're inside a giant winged worm!!

Those two should wait here for a second. / You follow me.

...!

What? What?

..Don't be too nosy, Mata.

You must have a lot of questions. / Now that it's just the two of us, ask away.

...Who.. are you?

I am-

Garam "Zahard" / A "Zahard princess" who disappeared a long time ago with two of the 13 Month Series.

....!!

A Zahard princess-?!

"Go to the house of the princess resembling the light/color of the deep waters and ask her". / "In that place where a three-stemmed waterfall flows"

If you walk through the crimson light in that place, you will find the piece of the Thorn.

Could she be the one in Yura-ssi's hint..!?

Wh-!!

Why is a Zahard princess.. in this place?

I told you. I "disappeared" with two of the 13 Month Series. / I betrayed Zahard so I'm hiding in this place.

I discovered too many truths to stay in the Zahard family. / Why us princesses are chosen and made to fight each other

Why we can't climb higher / What kind of a king, our father, Zahard is like.. (alt. Who our father, King Zahard, is..)

And-

About your existence.

You.. you know about me?

Yeah, I've known about you for a very long time. / Although of course, it's not like I just blindly (lit. unconditionally) believed about your existence (alt. that you really existed) / But-

....You deserve to know who you are.

Do you want to know about yourself?

.....!!

Yes..!! Everything!!

Alright. I'll tell you all I know about you. / But-

It'll be your responsibility after hearing it.

Hwa Ryun told you to guide us?

Yepyep!! / Hwa Ryun-unni came in before you!

That bitch.. So she really knew an easier path / and took it by herself.

....Yeah yeah.

...What happened with you, Evan? Aren't you a guide too? / Didn't you say for certain that guide senses aren't working here?

(Maybe it's time for me to change guides?)

..Th-that's weird..

Ah, and princess. / Hwa Ryun-unni asked for a favor in exchange for showing you the way-

? / A favor?

Yes. She said if I asked for a favor for guiding you, then you'll definitely listen to me..

..There really is nothing free in this world. / So what is it?

...Actually.. / there is a very, very bad person in this place..

I'd like you to get rid of that person.

...Huh? Who could that be?

The ruler of South City

South City Crimson Castle

The intruders who came in today suddenly disappeared.

The one who wants to defy fate and rule over the shinsoo that has lost its master. / His name is-

The king of the Underwold. (冥王 : Hades) / Hell Joe.

Karaka is coming soon.. what should we do? / Joe-nim?

..Don't disturb me. / I'm doing something important right now.

Hell Joe Ruler of the South City.

Huh..?

I'm reading comics.
