10 Most Epic Bam Moments In Tower Of God That Prove Why He's Such A Great Hero

Bam is a kind, selfless character in Tower of God, yet despite his initial softness, he has some of the series' most epic moments. He's one of the few people who came from outside the Tower, and he might be the only one completely disinterested in climbing it. He's only there to find Rachel, the girl who named him and taught him everything he knew before entering the Tower. After she turned on him in one of anime's most brutal betrayals, he became Jue Viole Grace, Slayer Candidate for the notorious crime syndicate FUG.

As Viole in Tower of God season 2, Bam is cold, calculated, and altogether lethal. His fights are much better thanks to his years of training, but when he's around Team Sweet and Sour, his soft side is seen once again. He's a simple character with a lot on his plate, and no matter if he's going by Bam or Viole, he's capable of epic moments that prove he's a great anime hero.

10 vs. The 20th Floor Team

Jue Viole Grace is Vicious

Jue Viole Grace is a cold, vicious version of Bam controlled by FUG to become their God. To their credit, they picked a great Slayer Candidate because Viole is a monster when he's fighting. He's been training under their supervision for the last five years, and it shows when he takes on the early members of Team Sweet and Sour. On the way to a test on the 20th Floor, Bam decides it'll be faster to eliminate his potential teammates than to work with them.

Tower of God is a manhwa adapted into an anime, creating a couple of localization problems for English sub enjoyers

It's a great fight that's well-animated. Bam's new abilities as a Wave Controller are on full display as he takes on Kang Horyang, Ja Wangnan, and Hon Akraptor at the same time. The new side of his personality is also shown for the first time, as he moves to assassinate Wangnan right before time expires.

9 vs. Mule Love

Even Though He Couldn't Win, He Never Quit

FUG is the biggest criminal syndicate in the tower. They wage war against Jahad and the Ten Great Families that support him. They've terrorized a lot of people and were responsible for the death of Test Admin Mule Love's parents. When Love sees Viole's FUG Slayer robes, he's furious. He wants to eliminate Viole and finds the perfect opportunity to when Viole doesn't want any allies for the upcoming test. Viole stubbornly takes an alternate test he can't possibly win in order to move forward alone.

In a great moment of irony, he only passes the test because Wangnan comes to help him. It's the moment he finally decides to accept some help from the newly formed Team Sweet and Sour. Bam accepting his new group is cathartic as he's spent the past 5 years alone training. Now, he can hopefully be himself again.

8 Dodging Shinisu

Bam Passed a Test Without Knowing He Took It

Climbing the Tower is all about luck according to Test Admin of the 2nd Floor Lero-Ro. He puts up a barrier made of thick Shinisu to see who is capable of passing it, pushing all the test takers back. Bam didn't move an inch, much to Lero-Ro's shock. He realized he had another monster in his hands and told Bam to take a seat next to him as they watched the rest of the testtakers struggle. It's a moment very similar to the Black March choosing Bam as it shows that Bam's chosen for something great.

Tower of God Fans Are Divided Over Controversial Season 2's Art Style and Production Values

Tower of God has returned with its second season after four years, but unfortunately, the production has been met with controversy from day one.

Bam is also completely unaware of what just happened. He's an innocent character who doesn't even want to climb the Tower, and he makes it clear that he doesn't care about the power everyone else is after. He just wants to find Rachel, and apparently, he's going to have some help along the way.

7 Saving Yihwa Yeon

He Tricked Her Into Being Saved

Yeon Yihwa is a tsundere when she's around Bam. She acts like she doesn't like him but is always willing to hear what he has to say, especially if it's about her. When she's possessed by another character during the second season of Tower of God, Bam knows exactly what to do. To get her personality to the surface, he provokes Yihwa, saying he's disinterested in her body. Her personality emerges in a moment of anger and Bam's able to save her.

Bam has been cold-blooded as Viole for a while in Tower of God up until this point in the series, and it's refreshing to see that he still has a fun side as well. It's a funny moment that shows how close Bam has become with his new team and how smart he is on the battlefield all-in-one. Though he puts on a tough facade and the years have clearly changed him, this moment shows shadows of the old Bam, and it's great to see.

6 Protecting Rachel During the Crown Game

Bam Would Rather Lose the Crown Game Than See Rachel Get Hurt

Bam's entire reason for even entering the Tower was to follow Rachel. Every test he took was a means of getting closer to her. When he saw a hooded figure that looked like her during the Crown Game, he was willing to drop everything. He didn't care about moving forward if Rachel was right in front of him. When Hwa Ryun attacks Rachel during the Crown Game, Bam leaps to defend her. He loses the Crown Game for his team and saves Rachel in the process.

Tower of God Trades Season 1's Charm for Greater Worldbuilding in Season 2

Bam's journey looks wholly different in season 2 of Tower of God, and while season 1's charm is absent, in its place is excellent worldbuilding.

His body then turns into pure Shinisu while he defends Rachel, scaring Hwa Ryun's eye in the process. Even though Rachel is mysterious, Bam is still loyal to her. He's even willing to lose the entire game if it means protecting her. The Black March realizes he's using a little too much power and puts him to sleep, ending the Crown Game.

5 Resolving to Save His Friends

Even After He Was Betrayed, Bam Put His Friends First

Bam suffered one of the most shocking moments in anime. He had spent the entirety of the first season of Tower of God looking for Rachel, and when he found her, he decided to support her in the climb up the Tower. When they were alone during a test, she pushed him to his death. He awoke at the bottom of a ravine hurt and confused. He was greeted by Hwa Ryun who told him that if he wanted to understand what happened to him, he'd have to get stronger and climb the Tower.

Even after suffering a horrific betrayal, Bam accepted the moment and decided to move on. He understood that, like it or not, his answers really did lie at the top of the tower. He wanted to meet with his friends again and was strong enough to put his pain aside, if not for the moment.

4 The Strongest Regular

Jue Viole Grace Is Stronger Than He Looks

Mule Love presented a straightforward test for people looking to go beyond the 20th Floor of the Tower. He asked his test takers to place their hand on the Shinisu Meauring Device to directly measure their Shinisu, giving a numerical value to their strength. He takes the test and scores above 10,000,000, shocking everyone. Most people don't score about a few thousand, but when Viole gets to the podium, he dominates the competition with a score above 100,000.

It's a great moment that showcases how stoic Bam has become. As Viole, nothing matters more than the mission itself. He was so strong at this point in the series that he even asked Love if he could proceed without anyone on his team. Viole would rather climb the ladder alone than be weighed down by the people around him.

3 Snipes the Bull

He Saved Himself and Rachel

Bam worked hard to make sure Rachel could climb the Tower in season one of Tower of God. When the Test Admin said she couldn't advance anymore, Bam fought to appeal the decision, even revealing his status as an Irregular in the process. The Test Admin came up with a new test where Bam had to defend Rachel. He performed well, but the real test began when the Bull came. The Bull is a humanoid Shinheuh Bam could barely handle.

In a brilliant flash of light, Bam was able to shoot the beast through the mouth and kill it. Bam isn't too violent in the first season of the series despite where he'll end up later on, but even he's willing to do what it takes to protect Rachel. In one of the series' most gut-wrenching moments, Rachel is thankful of Bam's efforts before pushing him to his death in a brutal betrayal.

2 vs. Urek Mazino

Bam Didn't Hesitate Against the Tower's Strongest

Urek Mazino is the single strongest Ranker shown in Tower of God. He's hanging out inside Zygaena when Team Sweet and Sour finds him. He generously tells the group that he'll spare their lives if they leave, but Bam can't. If he quits the test and stops advancing up the Tower, FUG will kill his friends. Bam dives in to fight Urek despite his friends' warnings. In the middle of their fight, Miseng accidentally ends up between the two. Bam shields her from Urek instead of landing a full blow, saving her life.

It's a great moment that proves Bam is still compassionate even as the FUG Slayer Candidate Jue Viole Grace. He's growing to like his new team and is even willing to take a blow from the Tower's mightiest Ranker to save them.

1 Chosen by the Black March

Even Ha Yuri Zahad Couldn't Awaken Its Power

A lot happened in the first episode of Tower of God. Rachel found Bam in a cave, ran to the Tower, and left him at the Tower's entrance. Bam then met Headon who told him that what he was looking for could be found at the top of the Tower itself. Bam heads into the Tower and is tasked with his very first test. Before his test, Yuri Jahad gave him one of the strongest weapons in the series. The Black March is one of the 13 Month Series of weapons and activates when Bam calls upon it, much to Yuri's surprise.

Yuri is one of the strongest characters in Tower of God and a Princess of Jahad. The weapon never came to her aid when she called upon it, but came to Bam's on his first try. It's a powerful moment that shows that Bam is special right away. He uses the Black March's power to decimate the ball, passing his first test and starting his journey up the Tower.
