against the 20th floor team
Jue Viole Grace is cruel
Jue Viole Grace is a cold and cruel 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 she’s fighting. He has been training under their supervision for five years, and it shows when he faces the first members of Team Sweet and Sour. En route to a test on the 20th floor, Bam decides it will be quicker to eliminate his potential teammates than to work with them.

vs. mule love
Even though he couldn’t win, he never gave up

They terrorized many people and were responsible for the death of Test Admin Mule Love’s parents. When Love sees Viole’s FUG Slayer robes, he becomes furious. He wants to eliminate Viole and finds the perfect opportunity when Viole doesn’t want any allies for the next test. Viole stubbornly makes an alternative test that he cannot win 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 help from the newly formed Team Sweet and Sour. Bam accepting his new group is cathartic, as he has spent the last 5 years training alone. Now, I hope he can be himself again.

Dodging Shinisu
Bam passed a test without knowing he took it
Climbing the Tower is a matter of luck, according to 2nd floor Test Admin Lero-Ro. He puts up a barrier made of thick Shinisu to see who is able to get through, pushing all participants back. Bam didn’t move an inchmuch to Lero-Ro’s shock. He realized he had another monster on his hands and told Bam to sit next to him while they watched the rest of the participants fight. It’s a very similar moment to the Black March choosing Bam, as it shows that Bam was chosen for something big.
Bam is also unaware of what happened. He is an innocent character who doesn’t even want to climb the Tower and makes it clear that he doesn’t care about the power that everyone else seeks. He just wants to find Rachel, and apparently he’ll have help along the way.

Chosen by the Black March
Even Ha Yuri Zahad failed to awaken his 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 enters the Tower and is tasked with his first test. Before the test, Yuri Jahad gave him one of the strongest weapons in the series. The Dark March is one of the weapons in the 13 Month Series and is activated when Bam summons it, much to Yuri’s surprise.
