[This is moreso for the anon user] So forget FUG, if Baam reaches "OP in comparison to someone of Arie Hon's level" then there would be no-one in the Tower, bar Phantaminum and possibly Enryu, who'd be able to match him. No-one. Understand how bad that is from a storytelling point of view ? I'll tell you: any semblance of a good story pretty much ends right there. Unless it's satirical (or similar), God-Mode Sues are almost always bad for a story. What people hope for when they say they want Tower-breaker God-Mode Sue Baam by the 100th Floor is pretty much the end of a great story.

Oh don't be so pessimistic, you forgot Urek and Zahard in your people of this caliber. And also : the 134th floor door, and the 135th floor test ! Since As a group of top irregulars Zahard and Co couldn't win this test, and even Enryu didn't "solo this instance !". Might be pretty tough don't you think ? So I submit to you: should Baam be able to pass this test, so that this b*tch Rachel gets what she wants and forgives him, so HE can finally get what he wants ? Isn't Baam's task the most extraordinary, hence doesn't he deserve unatural growth ? And it's not like he wants power for power's sake, so give it to him! I don't say "God-mode Sue", but up to a challenge nobody in the tower could face so far. And as long as we don't know how tough this is (nor how much more complicated it should become after, since we don't even know if there are even other floors until the "last test of the tower"(from tape recorder Gustang's friend)), you can make Baam pretty OP, without breaking the "challenge" scale of what there's to accomplish in the story.
