Every time I read ToG, I realize the real driving force of the Tower isn’t Shinsu… it’s unhinged relationship (because of a woman) and that drama 😭💀
Before anything, I want to be clear: I genuinely believe every woman is beautiful in her own right, and people (especially females) should always respect how others feel and express emotions. This isn’t hate or anything like that at all 🙏
But I’ve deadass come to this conclusion:
Whenever a man in the Tower is involved in a situation with a woman mainly it’s love, rejection, obsession, loyalty, betrayal, or even just attention they completely lose their minds. They genuinely cannot handle rejection, separation, or emotional loss, and it ends up spiralling into massive consequences for the world itself.
Look at the history of the Tower:
Jahad, V, and Arlene Grace had a situation that literally changed the entire Tower forever. Jahad’s inability to accept the situation led to a conflict that reshaped the entire world structure.
Twenty-Fifth Bam started climbing the Tower entirely because of his attachment to Rachel.
Rachel has caused emotional chaos and destruction across multiple arcs just by being involved in key events 😭
Even someone like Urek Mazino (his story that is ongoing) despite being absurdly powerful still has getting into relationship games issues in the current chapters now of his storyline tied to emotional tension, relationships, and personal attachments.
Even the strongest figures in the Tower end up making irrational decisions, starting conflicts, or ruining relationships because of attachment, jealousy, or rejection.
And in the latest arcs, even the Family Heads show this pattern more clearly:
Traumerei has deep psychological and emotional issues tied to attachment, control, and past emotional scars that shape his entire behaviour.
Gustang is constantly involved in long-running emotional conflicts and historical grudges tied to relationships and family dynamics.
And honestly,I can already predict the unrevealed
Family Heads are going to continue this trend:
The Ha and Ari Family Heads already feel like they have deep-rooted tension and complicated history that will likely tie back into personal relationships once fully revealed I be deadass 😭😭
The Yeon Family especially feels like it will heavily involve emotional history and past relationship-driven events when more of the lore is revealed of the man who brole her heart.
At this point, it feels like no matter how strong a character is, once emotions tied to relationships enter the equation, logic starts slipping and everything becomes personal 💀
Because in this story it always comes back to:
Attachment
Jealousy
Rejection (expecially when woman are into it)
Pride get hit
Obsession
Betrayal
It’s like emotional instability is one of the real hidden forces of the Tower 😭 Regular people listen to sad music after a breakup but in the Tower, immortal Rankers and Irregulars start wars over it.
I’m convinced that once more Family Heads are fully explored by siu, we’re going to see even more ancient relationship drama, betrayals, and emotional breakdowns shaping the entire world.
Again, just to be clear: this is not aimed at women or female readers at all 🙏 It’s just an observation about how male characters in Tower of God tend to lose their grip on reality the moment emotional or relationship stakes get involved 😭
