There are few works in anime that have the lore depth and worldbuilding pedigree that Tower of God has. Since the first chapter, the mystique of the Tower was established, making every reader curious about what this webtoon has in store for them. The creator, SIU, continued to up the ante and uncover many of the Tower’s deepest secrets. As much as the journey has been exciting, every fan of this webtoon has been just as curious about the mysterious outside world as they have been about what lies at the top of the Tower. The Irregulars, who originate from the mysterious outside world, create that mystery. These individuals are on a completely different level than the regulars, and as the chapters pile up, that gap has only made fans more intrigued about the world beyond the Tower.

Fortunately, the new spin-off, Tower of God: Urek Mazino, has the chance to explore that world and answer some of the most asked questions that the fans have. Urek Mazino is already a fan-favorite character that viewers can’t get enough of, but with an entire new series centered on this overpowered character, fans can finally get something they’ve only dreamed of. The main series has touched on the outside world every once in a while, but this new spin-off has a chance to dive even deeper during Tower of God’s hiatus. This new webtoon will scratch that Tower of God itch while continuing its incredible worldbuilding in the process. So far, this new spin-off has already hooked fans in, but there is more to come that you don’t want to miss.

Exploring Urek Mazino’s Past and Opposing the Darkness

Urek Mazino is quite possibly the most powerful Ranker in the Tower during Tower of God. His presence and fearless attitude have made fans fall in love with this charismatic figure. Right out the gates, the webtoon established Urek Mazino’s pursuit of Phantaminum, another mystery that fans have been pleading to see more of. Both are outsiders who made their way into the Tower. Being that Urek has substantial time in the outside world gives him a wealth of knowledge about the world beyond what Bam could never imagine.

Tower of God: Urek Mazino explores Urek’s goal of finding Phantaminum for reasons that will be explored, but also his desire to find King Jahad. King Jahad, along with the other heads of the 10 Great Families, also originate from the outside and may be Urek’s way to return home after capturing Phantaminum. Until then, Urek will have to climb the Tower, but with his immense power, this seems fairly easy, for the time being at least. Urek has an innate talent for shinsu and already has the natural strength to overpower Rankers. But there is another power he has that comes from the outside world, separate from shinsu.

The outside world is a total mystery, but the opening chapter of Tower of God: Urek Mazino gives the viewers a look into a battle between two cosmic forces unfolding. The Shining Ones are said to be “Creatures of Light” who bring balance. But to oppose the light, the Darkness created Phantaminum. Phantaminum would seal these beings into jewels and embed them in his body. Urek Mazino is also a Creature of Light, which explains his power that is different from anything ever seen in Tower of God before. Urek will try to track down Phantaminum, likely for revenge, and when they do finally encounter him, the battle will be a sight to behold. In the meantime, the fans of this webtoon will get to learn more about what makes the world beyond the Tower so special.

What Tower of God’s Spin-Off Can Further Reveal About the Outside World

Even with a decade-plus journey in the Tower, fans are still left clueless about what lies at the top, and even more mystery lurks beyond the Tower. Hopefully, Tower of God: Urek Mazino can give fans a chance to learn more about both, but especially the outside world. It’s safe to assume this new spin-off will deliver; the opening chapter already establishes many truths fans weren’t aware of, and with Urek’s goal, there are bound to be even more secrets to unravel.

There are some specific threads this webtoon can touch on as it progresses, including who exactly is the strongest in the Tower. In the original webtoon, it seems as if Phantaminum and Urek are battling it out for the number one spot, but there is another contender that some readers have forgotten who also comes from the outside world — Enryu. With Enryu’s introduction in the main series, he makes the world beyond the Tower feel massive and endless.

Enryu’s power to wipe out an entire floor and an administrator with ease is terrifying. But the fact that he was sent by God makes this entire story that much more intriguing. There is much more that fans haven’t been clued in on, and hopefully this series can dive into that side of the lore and reveal more secrets about the Tower’s origin and purpose.
