Get Ready for Tower of God Season 2, Episode 7: Mazino Magic!

Hey everyone! Jack Pham here, and today we’re diving into some super exciting stuff about Tower of God Season 2, Episode 7. If you’re anything like me, you’ve been on the edge of your seat since the last episode, constantly refreshing Crunchyroll to see if the new one dropped early (spoiler: it hasn’t). But don’t worry—Episode 7 is almost here, and I’ve got all the crucial details you need to know. So, without any more delays, let’s jump right into it.

Release Date and Time: Mark Your Calendars!

First things first: When is Tower of God Season 2, Episode 7 dropping? I know, the wait can feel like a lifetime, especially after the insane cliffhangers in Episode 6. I mean, Rachel and Viole?! That whole push-off-the-tower situation? BRUH, my brain was spinning!

The good news? We don’t have to wait too long. Episode 7, titled Mazino Magic, is set to release on Sunday, August 18, 2024. Depending on where you're located, the release time will vary, but here’s a handy little table to keep you in the loop.

So, wherever you are, make sure to set your alarms, because you won’t want to miss this one!

Where to Watch: For the Love of Anime!

If you’re in Japan, you’ve got it easy—just tune in to local channels like Tokyo MX, Sun Television, KBS Kyoto, or BS Nippon Television.

But for the rest of us mere mortals outside of Japan, the go-to spot is Crunchyroll. They usually upload the episode about 30 minutes after it airs in Japan. So, by the time you’ve made your coffee or grabbed your popcorn, the episode should be ready to stream. And yes, I know the Crunchyroll app can sometimes be a bit... let’s say "temperamental." But hey, it’s worth the trouble for Tower of God, right?

What Happened in Episode 6?

Okay, before we dive into what’s coming in Episode 7, let’s recap what went down in Episode 6—because, holy crap, it was intense!

Bam in God Season 2, Episode 7

In Episode 6, we learned more about FUG, the organization that Bam (a.k.a. Viole) is tangled up with. And let me just say, things are getting complicated. Like, we’re talking tangle-of-headphone-wires complicated. FUG is turning out to be a lot bigger and more sinister than we first thought—think Hydra from Marvel, but with magic and way more emotional baggage.

Viole (Bam’s secret identity) is using his power

Bam’s secret identity as Viole was finally revealed to his friends, and let me tell ya, that moment hit harder than a bad Wi-Fi connection during an online game. The stakes got even higher when we learned they need to retrieve a special flower from inside a god-like space whale called Zygaena. But wait, as if that wasn’t difficult enough, there’s a mysterious fighter waiting to throw hands with them inside the whale. Because of course, there is.

Spoilers and What To Expect in Episode 7: Mazino Magic

Alright, if you don’t want spoilers, now’s your chance to bail out. But if you’re like me and can’t resist a little sneak peek, then keep reading.

Episode 7 is titled Mazino Magic, and if you’re a Tower of God fan, then you know what that means: Urek Mazino. Yup, the man, the myth, the legend. He’s one of the strongest entities in the Tower, and from what we’ve seen in the webtoon, things are about to get wild.

In Episode 6, we were teased with the upcoming confrontation between Viole and Urek Mazino. Now, from what I’ve gathered (and trust me, I’ve done some serious Reddit lurking), Mazino Magic will focus a lot on Mazino’s backstory and why he’s such a big deal in the Tower. We’re talking about a dude who’s so OP, he makes Goku look like a beginner.

But here’s the thing: Viole (Bam) is planning to confront Mazino on his own. Like, are you kidding me? I mean, I get that Bam is strong and all, but going up against Mazino by himself? That’s like trying to solo a boss raid in an MMO while you’re under-leveled. Not a great idea, my dude.

Anyway, according to some leaks and discussions on r/TowerofGod, we’re also going to see more of the FUG members’ true motives. The tension has been brewing, and Episode 7 will likely start setting the stage for what’s to come in the next arc. I’m also crossing my fingers that we get more action scenes because, let’s be real, the animation has been a bit hit-or-miss in some episodes. But when it hits, it SLAPS.

Why Urek Mazino is Such a Big Deal

For those who aren’t familiar with Urek Mazino, let me break it down for you. Urek is one of the top Rankers in the Tower, and he’s a former member of the 10 Great Families. This guy’s power level is off the charts—like, if there was a “Most Likely To Wreck Your Day” award, Mazino would win it every time.

Mazino’s strength is so absurd that even the Tower’s administrators are wary of him. He’s not just strong; he’s cunning, too. This dude didn’t climb the Tower just to sit back and sip tea. No, he’s actively shaking things up, and it looks like Viole and his crew are about to get caught in the crossfire.

And here’s the kicker: Mazino isn’t even the final boss. There’s bigger stuff coming, and Episode 7 is going to give us a taste of just how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Community Buzz: Theories and Expectations

If you’ve been hanging out on Reddit (specifically, r/TowerofGod), then you know the fans are going crazy with theories about what’s going to happen in the next few episodes.

One of the major theories floating around is that Mazino might actually help Viole’s team rather than wipe the floor with them. I know, wild, right? But it kind of makes sense. Mazino has a history of doing things his own way, and he’s not exactly loyal to the Tower’s rules. Some fans think he might take an interest in Viole and his team and offer them some guidance—or at the very least, not obliterate them on sight.

Others think we’re going to see a major betrayal soon. FUG is shady as heck, and some fans believe one of Viole’s companions might turn on him in favor of the organization. I really hope that’s not the case, though, because my heart can’t handle more betrayal. Cough Rachel Cough.

My Thoughts on Bam’s Development as Viole

Now, let’s talk about Viole (or Bam, depending on how you like to refer to him). I have so many feelings about his transformation this season. On one hand, it’s awesome to see him becoming more powerful and stepping into his own, but on the other hand, it’s kind of heartbreaking. Bam started out as this wide-eyed kid who just wanted to find Rachel, but now he’s caught up in the schemes of FUG and forced to confront some pretty dark stuff.

I mean, can we talk about how much he’s changed? The Bam we knew in Season 1 wouldn’t hurt a fly, but Viole? This guy is ruthless when he needs to be. And it’s not like he even has a choice—FUG is holding his friends’ lives hostage. It’s a tough spot to be in, and I can’t help but wonder if Bam will ever be able to go back to being the innocent kid he once was.

Will he ever get to just chill and have a normal life outside the Tower? Probably not. But here’s hoping he at least gets some peace of mind by the end of all this.

Webtoon vs. Anime: How the Adaptation is Going

I know some of you are also reading the Tower of God webtoon, so let’s take a quick moment to talk about how the anime is doing in comparison.

For the most part, I think the anime has done a solid job of adapting the source material. Yeah, they’ve cut a few things here and there, and some scenes don’t hit quite as hard as they do in the webtoon, but overall, it’s been a fun ride. That said, I do have some gripes with the pacing. Some episodes feel a bit rushed, and we don’t always get enough time to really sit with the emotional moments.

For example, the whole Rachel and Bam dynamic from Season 1? I feel like we could have spent more time exploring Bam’s feelings post-betrayal. But instead, we kind of jumped straight into the next arc. And now, with all the FUG stuff going on, it feels like Bam’s personal journey is taking a backseat to the larger plot. I just hope the anime can find a balance between the action and the character development as we move forward.

Final Thoughts: Buckle Up, It’s Gonna Be a Wild Ride

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m hyped for Episode 7. Between Viole’s inevitable showdown with Mazino and the looming threats from FUG, it feels like we’re on the brink of something huge. Plus, I’m really curious to see how the anime handles Mazino’s character. Will they do him justice? Will the animation hold up during the fight scenes? Only time will tell, but I’ll be right there, popcorn in hand, ready to find out.

So, that’s all I’ve got for now. If you have any theories, thoughts, or just want to scream about Tower of God with me, drop a comment below. And don’t forget to tune in on August 18 for what promises to be one of the craziest episodes yet. Until next time, stay awesome!
