Tower of God Season 2, Episode #22 Release Date & Time (2024)

While Tower of God may have moved at a turtle's pace for much of season 2, the upcoming release of episode #22 indicates a set of gratifying developments for those who stuck around. Bam's predicament and secrecy may finally come to an end as Khun hatches a plan for a proper reunion as they wrench him from FUG's death grip and with the help of some key defectors. With Tower of God season 2, episode #22, hope still burns bright for an emotional reunion between Khun, Bam, Rak, and their new team members as well.

Despite the pacing, lighting, and general animation concerns raised about Tower of God season 2, the anime has effectively followed much of the original webtoon's plot, often with minor-to-moderate tweaks to the order of events and visuals. The anime from The Answer Studio thus follows the second phase of SIU's long-running manhwa, deepening intrigue about the Workshop and FUG's aspirations all the while. But with the next episode, fans will get to see Khun's group set forth to rescue Bam, as well as some choice fan-favorite moments sure to be discussed soon.

What Happened in Tower of God Season 2, Episode #21?

Getting the Band Back Together

With Tower of God season 2, episode #21, picking up after the events of the previous episode, Bam is seen wounded, but not executed, by Beta for his capture. As Bam soon learns, when Reflejo appears before him, subdued in the presence of the Thorn, the FUG operation appears to have planned for these moments. FUG's plans are to melt him, a human with the power of an Irregular, to create a proper Living Ignition Weapon, effectively also taking Bam out of the Workshop Battle. However, Team Khun isn't about to take this development lying down.

As the Workshop Battle announces these occurrences, there's also mention of Team Mad Dog's forfeiting, alongside four Team FUG member departures: Jue Viole Grace (Bam), Horyang, Novick, and a Team FUG scout. The remaining Team Mad Dog members are partially integrated into FUG to make up some of the deficit, bringing Ron Mei and Baragav to the unit to consolidate their might back. But the rogue FUG departures could be the downfall of their plans with Bam, as it presents an opportunity to rescue him from FUG's grasp.

Khun learns about each of these developments, including reuniting with Hatz, who tells him about Lero-Ro's infiltration of the Workshop, learning about their plans along with FUG's. Khun soon devises a plot to rescue Bam, starting in Tower of God season 2, episode #22, using the rogue FUG defectors to make contact with Bam to set him up to be summoned after that. For the fans, this means there's a genuine chance of Bam being reunited with all of his old friends by the end of Tower of God season 2.

Rak Gets Larger Than Life in Tower of God Season 2, Episode #21

"Move Your Foot...Turtle."

Tower of God season 2, episode #22 is set to adapt the events of the Tower of God webtoon by SIU, specifically season 2, chapter #87-onward. As Team Khun gears up for their operation to rescue Bam, they'll soon make Team Snake eat their words after what they said about Bam in episode #21. One of the coolest developments that'll happen in the episode, though, belongs to Rak as he finally gets to exercise his intimidation factor, something he's lacked since his miniaturization this season.

Rak won't just flex his combat abilities either; he'll show greater bonding with the rest of Team Khun in Tower of God season 2, episode #22, as they fight other rivals in their way. As previously established, they have to rescue Bam without breaking the event's rules, which would give FUG an excuse to intervene. However, as others like Beta may catch on to Khun's plans, the group must act quickly while Horyang and Novick arrive at Bam's holding site. Khun's plan is all that stands between FUG and the power to turn Bam into a weapon for their nefarious goals.

Tower of God Season 2, Episode #21 Review: A Slow Burn Catches Ablaze

Not Simply a Long Walk for a Short Drink of Water

Say what must be said about Tower of God's animation, but its narrative and execution, once shown in full view for this arc, is a fascinating story even if told painfully slowly. Season 2 will be remembered far more differently from season 1 of the anime, not the least of which being its studio changes or overall greater focus on worldbuilding. Khun's cleverness as a leader is a compelling case to raise confidence in the viewers of his rescue plan, made all the more enticing by how powerful their opponents are at Team FUG.

Beta's backstory is tantalizingly teased, multiple moving parts of the subplots finally intersect, and the mystery of the Living Ignition Weapons and what FUG plans to do with Bam make for enticing plot developments. The lighting issues are nonexistent compared to earlier in the season, and there is renewed energy, thanks largely to returns of fan favorites like Rak. However, as faithfully as it was adapted, much of the rest of Tower of God season 2 stands as an obstacle one must cross before getting to these exciting last episodes; one must hope it's not too little or too late.
