@Demotivator: That is actually not a problem. I recall that you believe that this kind of power-up may break the story, but—as I've mentioned before—that worry is only driven by your expectations. You expect the story to follow some path and development that is boring or even broken with this kind of power-up, but it's more than likely that SIU has other path and development in mind.

Also, you say the clone should have gone back to observing... why? There was no more reason for it to observer once it has confirmed Baam's and Hoaqin's respective resolves and views. Not to mention that Hoaqin could probably force-eat the clone later unless it merged with someone else first, and they clearly didn't want that. The only choice was to look for a viable alternative...

Moreover, the situation with Hoaqin is going to require a post-Dallar Game resolution if he's going to win one way or the other (unless Dallars run out?), and this may be the least boring and fairly unexpected way for Baam to get through this arc alive. Based on the comments around this wiki, no one even suspected that Baam might hijack Hoaqin's souls before this chapter. All things considered, it was a pretty decent way to grant Baam the inevitable OP power-up. Considering that everyone in the top20 is OP even to the fellow High Rankers, any power-up(s) that lead to Baam's confrontation with any of them is going to be OP regardless of how gradual the power-ups are and when Baam obtains them.

Finally, this still somewhat reeks of a temporary power-up. Souls being souls, it's possible that Baam resurrects whomever he can and releases the rest to RIP... at least once Hoaqin is out of the picture.
