The Rule of 3 Defining Jahad’s Era aka Then There Were 3 theory

Ever since Jahad locked the 135th floor and established his empire, his entire reign has been subtly governed by the number 3. His crest features three eyes, gives 3 orders, the rings that has his crest are total in 3 and his active rank sits at Nr 3.

Before Viole and Rachel entered the Tower to shatter the stagnation of Jahad's era, it was defined by neat, closed sets of three.

  1. Jahad's 3 contracts: Jahad's absolute power and authority over the Tower are secured through 3 Guardian Contracts. Namely two are known as King Contract and Immortality Contract. I believe there is another unknown, hidden contract hinted (referenced in the exchange between Gustang and Traumerei after Administrator stripps Traumerei's contract), most likely to match UM as axis.

  2. The 3 strongest Irregulars: After Jahad locked the door to the upper floors, exactly 3 Irregulars forced their way into the Tower during his rule. Unlike the 13 Great Warriors who grew up climbing the Tower, all three entered as absolute monsters from day one. Phantaminum, Urek Mazino, Enryu.

  3. The 3 independent factions: Outside of the Great Warriors' direct control (Jahad's Empire & the 10 Great Families), there are only 3 major factions that operate independently or outside family association. Workshop, Wolhaiksong, FUG.

  4. The 3 shinies: Obrion, Mago, Latur

  5. The 3 Irregulars Without Immortality: Out of 14 irregulars who are confirmed to have climbed the tower, 3 didn't get the immortality. V rejected it. Hendolok was rejected although he got a different one and since UM never took the original climb with Guardian tests alongside the Great Warriors, he never had the opportunity, though given his nature, he likely would have rejected it anyway.

  6. The 3 Active Top Towerborn Leaders: Based strictly on what is presented in the Webtoon which is canon, there are only 3 true Top Towerborns, meaning Eurasia Anne Jahad, despite being highly anticipated by fans to be a Top Towerborn, isn't one. These 3 Top Towerborns act as faction leaders and are each closely associated with a special Irregular something Anne doesn't fit in. Adori(associated with Jahad), Mirchea(associated with V), Baek(associate with UM).

  7. Lastly the The Amizu Tragedy & The 3 Suicides: We know the reason why Amizu left Traumerei because she found out about Jahad and Traumerei. Later V was blamed for her murder. Interestingly 2 out of the 3 had died through suicide although V is alive, it's not his body anymore. Following the pattern started by the Amizu incident, Jahad who indirectly was involved will likely be the 3rd and final figure to meet his end via suicide/self-destruction rather than a simple defeat in combat.

Why was tiara unable to kill Enkidu here?

Wasn't it said, tiara along with other head librarians like Dumas possess Gussy's power? Shouldn't they be eligible to kill Enkidu since they have the power of a FL? Or is it different from Traumerei's 7 animals?

Traumerei was a montser

I just noticed the 3D Rupture was basically Traumerei stacking up his 2D sheet Rupture to give them shapes. Just a single 3D Rupture contains 100s if not 1ks of sheets of Rupture. He fired atleast 20 3Ds Rupture in that last attack(Evil Spirit) meaning basically over 20k bangs of sheet of Rupture at once. And he still didn't had leviathan. Traumerei really set the bar high. Man, it will be hard for Edahn to show us why he is the leader of the 3 strongest family.

Princesses and 13 MS

Why are Princesses who are given 13 MS not use them? We see Adori use a random sword, Maschenny seem to rely on her shinsu spear and Garam wasn't shown to use any of 13 MS. Only Yuri is exception who seem to over rely on this. Especially when she is supposed to be better h2h combatants.

Could they be like Yuri that can't ignite the weapon? There's also chance that the weapon might not match with their Shinsu shapes like GN not being a sword and YM not being a spear? But despite that I believe princesses are capable of mastering any weapon. Just like Yuri doesn't have problem with BM or GA except for ignition.

Could Anne incident had an effect? Like after that incident they stopped using 13 MS or atleast they dare not use ignition? What could be the reason behind this?

The reason why Phantaminum is ranked Nr1 in the tower is revealed

Spin off confirms that the most difficult thing to achieve in the tower is meeting the king. Phantaminum raided the palace, slaughter the best Rankers of Jahad, and confronted the king. It seems the original reason about his way of using unknown powers and weapons is retconned. It's given purely because he managed to achieve this feat of meeting the king.

Armour

Is the principle behind the design of armour which karaka and Dumas wear, based on immortality contract?

Like when Traumerei killed Gussy he wasn't sure that it could kill him and was surprised it worked. But that's a weird case for me since the judge was involved in that and basically guardian permitted the game thing.

That aside Traumerei strucked his heart when he did suicide. Edahn targeted Mago's heart to finish her rather than cutting off her head. As if it's a written rule like for those who are strong or basically on par with FLs, only by destroying their heart can one truly kill them. We don't know how V committed suicide but high chances he struck his heart too. There's also Dumas attacking Karaka's heart and Khun's to finish them off.

Is it possible that IC works same as the armour thing? Mainly their heart is protected by the contract.

Jahad Princesses

Jahad Princesses are considered the cream of the crops in the tower. They are the ultimate species of the tower. But why there's no stereotype for them?

We only know Jahad's blood make the body of princesses tougher than most 10 GFs. Yuri, one of the princesses which we are most familiar, her power which we have seen mostly comes from Ha family bloodline. Assuming the blood only makes their body tougher, why are they held in regard so high?

Like with Aries, Maschenny only considers Aries as significant threat, not even ha family, one of the top 3 family along with Khun.

Throughout the story, princesses are held in high regard, they are respected but not feared or even wariness. Like Kirin didn't want smoke with Jahad family and told haetae don't touch Yuri. It seemed he feared Jahad the king behind the princesses.

Khun

Why are Khuns without the actual spear? Now that we know physical weapons boost their power, why most of the Khuns just create the spear instead of carrying one with them like with Aries? There are exceptions like maria and ascensio. But most doesn't use physical spears, why?

Powerful Hands

Will Jinsung get treated now that he is released from the prison and back to FUG? His hands were crippled by Kallavan way back in last station. Now that he is free, will he get treatment? Can the hand be even treated?

Pairs

Is the blue and purple flames are like pairs similar to the ancient flames? Both flames are extreme version of the 2 ancient flames. Like Purple flames burning even the concepts and blue flames capable of reviving the dead??? What could be the power of the blue flames given it's related to protection rather than destruction.

Climbing

How did the helpers like Amizu, Mirchea and Quadrado climb the tower?

For instance, Mirchea. If we go by BPs he was born in 80 F. It's very likely he join the team halfway. Does that mean he skipped the floor below 80F? Even GWs or Irregulars climbed the tower from floor 1. Does this make sense?

Besides from the party flashback, it seems that both Amizu and Mirchea couldn't fly as I don't see any other reasons to use crane of that size while sneaking. It doesn't seem a great idea to use a shinhueh to sneak into the home of most talented anima of the tower. Traumerei could very well sense or smell the crane.

Did they climb again after the establishment of Ranking system?

FLs

It's crazy how similar these scenes are. Both FLs came to the designated place to get the answers from their opponents. Gussy about Amizu and Edahn about Shiny's history. At the end they managed to defeat their opponents and trample their opponent's remains(pieces) yet somehow their opponent survives and enters a body later. And the only way for FLs to find out the information is through the MCs (well only Gussy did it).

Yeons and Workshop

Does the Yeon family and Workshop have close relationships? The Yeon family is known for their flames. After the fight vs Mago, we came to know the importance behind the weapons. In a usual fantasy genre, forging weapons requires flame, so does the Yeon family which I known for their flames work in collaboration with the workshop? Or are weapons forged differently in the tower?

V and Arlene

Why are V and Arlene treated so differently by GWs?

​

Every GW seems to like Arlene as one can see from the panels. They treat her well, care for her even after they become enemies. But V is not liked well by them. Gussy hates V. Hon only asked for Arlene. Traumerei pinned blame on V alone and not V and Arlene or just Arlene. There's also that statement from V for Arlene to go back to their companions since he knows Arlene is well liked by them.

​

On the other hand, the companions of GWs seem to like V more. Like Mirchea, Icarus, Amizu. Is it because of jealousy toward V?

Immortality Contract

Since Baek has Irregulars power, can he hurt Jahad? Guardians only have authority over shinsu, so if towerborns use power outside of shinsu can they kill Jahad? Can he also use his power to bring the monster of Jahad outside?

​

Like Nameless being sure she could kill Jahad with the help of Mago. But since Mago now resides inside Nameless with a towerborn body, it should be impossible to kill Jahad with shinsu but with light it's possible??

Arie Hon

After the fight between FLs, we fans mostly talk about Yirang's flames being bested by Blossom's. I think we have neglected Hon being bested by Traumerei too.

​

Traumerei's Rupture can cut through anything, even spacetime and it's a one hit kill technique. In terms of cutting Hon should be Nr1 since cutting is a indispensable part of swordmanship. Do u guys think Hon's sword will cut through blossom flames given the hype Arie Swordmanship has gotten over the years? How will SIU show Hon's sword skills better than Rupture?

Is Jahad underestimating Revolution?

Jahad, the one who can see and manipulate fate, has sent a team to capture the revolution. With Adori out of the equation since she went to deal with the PB family, did Jahad send a SC? With such heavy hitters like Kirin, Ratna, Neil and Boss, who could be the one commanding this fleet?

Sophia Tan

Would Sophia Tan have blocked this random attack of adori considering she blocked Sbhs of Traumerei? Could she force Adori to use a named attack?
