Twenty-Fifth Baam/Abilities and Powers

Part I
In Part I, Baam was very weak, having no particular skills except his determination and courage. It is understandable that Baam has no fighting experiences at the beginning because of his background history that he was trapped inside a cave. Although having no experiences in fighting, Baam has already shown his most dangerous ability, that is "quick learning". For example, when he applied tactics and strategy in a board game against Rachel. At first, Baam experienced many defeats in the previous board game, but he quickly learn how to "slow down" his defeat, because he was motivated to get Rachel to spend more time with him. It seems that Baam can always be able to find the best or quickest solution to a problem within his realm of influence.

During the first half of the Part I, Baam cannot fight at all. As seen in the first test of Second Floor when he encountered a member of Da-an Tribe. He was hestitating to stab the enemy that was standing in front of him. Baam only got lucky that he didn't have to fight because most enemies have killed each other, and not to mention that he also met Khun Aguero Agnis. Again, at the event of the Crown Game Baam still cannot fight and he just sit on the throne while being protected by Khun Aguero and Rak Wraithraiser.

Later in the story, after undergoing a hard training and take a Wave Controller class at the floor of the test, Baam showed his capabilities to be an expert and prodigy at manipulating the shinsoo (unlike most Regulars). Phonsekal Laure mentioned that Baam was born with "talent". Moreover, the wave controller class teacher, Ranker Ren complimented Baam as the "most talented regulars" and later even considered Baam as a possible Royal Enforcement Division candidate if he would became a Ranker in the future.

Baam only began showing his dangerous potential during the Hide-and-Seek's test when he "instantly copied" the Fast Skip technique of Quant Blitz in just few seconds after his body came into contact with the technique. At first, Quant taught Baam about this technique only to give false hope to Baam in saving Rachel's life who was under Ho's threat, just for a brief moment while he rush to take down the spear bearers first. Because Quant knew that Fast Skip normally take decades to learn, even for a Ranker and it's impossible to learn it in such a short time. In the end, Baam succeed to perform Quant's technique and made the ranker very suprised. Quant then proceeded to ask "is that boy really a monster?".

By the end of Part I, Baam learned how to do close range fight with hand to hand combat after training with Androssi and eventually became very good at dodging punches. Baam also killed the Bull with one shinshoo shot, a feat which even Anak and Androssi couldn't pull off. However, it is later revealed that it is the water of the tank in which the test was held had Shinsoo-enhancing properties which gave Baam a significant boost in power.

Notable Skills
 * Intuition: Despite not being much of a fighter, Baam has good fighting instincts, as shown when he correctly determines a Steel Eel's weakness within a few seconds.
 * Exceptional Shinsoo Resistance: Normally, a person would have immense difficulty moving in an area with an enormous density of Shinsoo as shown by the fact that female Steel Eels live within this area during breeding season. However, Baam has demonstrated an amazing resistance to shinsoo pressure, being able to move freely even in a dense shinsoo environment of White Steel Eel's nest on Headon's first test, proving that he excels highly on such a field. This is also displayed during Lero-Ro's test when Baam was unaffected by the shinsoo barrier that Lero-Ro, a Ranker, had cast, while the majority of the participating Regulars was being pushed back and thrown away by the barrier. Baam also was blasted by a powerful wave of shinsoo by Hong Chunhwa's Ignition Weapon, Narumada, and emerged relatively unscathed by the attack.
 * Shinsoo Reading: He was able to see the white aura around Anak, which the other Regulars were not able to do, thus allowing him to tie against Lero-Ro in their bet regarding who would pass through the barrier first.
 * Shinsoo Genius: Though Baam initially knew nothing of Shinsoo, his ability to control Shinsoo is immense as well as his ability to rapidly learn new techniques - so much so that Ren (considered a genius Wave Controller) was astonished by his ability on the Floor of Test. Baam's potential far exceeds the normal Regulars and in one instance it appeared the Shinsoo around him attacked Hwa Ryun of its own accord. He is also able to use Shinsoo baangs without having formed a contract with a Guardian, something that is considered both impossible and against the very laws of The Tower.
 * Fast Skip: He learns the "Fast Skip" technique within a few seconds and rapidly becomes able to use it at a reasonable range, which Quant reveals took him decades to learn. He was able to stop and freeze Quant for few seconds.

Part II
In Part II, Baam has become so adept in combat that others are beginning to fear his strength and avoid him entirely. He is now openly declared a "monster" even by Rankers such as Love. Ja Wangnan describes him as the "Demon". He entirely overpowered the Regulars on the 20th Floor and has accomplished many feats that are far above the capabilities of an E-rank Regular. Such feats include handling a 2-on-1 battle against Akraptor and Horyang, another 2-on-2 fight against Novick and Ran (both of whom were in the Top 10 strongest E-rank Regulars) and another recent 2-on-1 battle against Ship Leesoo's team members Vespa and Aleksai Amigochaz regardless of his inability to use Shinsoo at the time. His notoriety has risen to the point where he is being compared to the Zahard's Princesses in terms of raw power.

As of Vol.2 Chapter 229, the god of guardians has deemed him "much stronger than the other Regulars". After his one-month training with the data self of Koon Eduan, Baam's power has increased to the point of holding his own against the data self of Zahard,ultimately stalemating him with the full power of the Thorn. Later, using Black March, the Thorn, and his true power, Baam was able to hold off two Rankers one versus two.

Part III
In Part III, the two years of intensive training Baam had underwent has allowed him to grow exponentially stronger, with his shinsoo control having dramatically improved, fully capable of using high-level techniques without strain such as his new gigantic orb and several other new techniques he had acquired. He is capable of completely overpowering even the strongest of C rank regulars with ease. Baam is also strong enough to fight Rankers without the Thorn, as he pinned down the Ranker sent at him by the Great Priest and was able to defeat one of the Ranker's from Baylord Paul's group without using the Thorn or Black March, with the latter Ranker not being able to use transformation. His level of improvement surprised Karaka, who noted that Baam was much stronger than he initially believed. His strength caused Doom to want to turn him into a canine person, and made Gado decide to deal with Baam himself. During a fight with the High Ranker Gado, Baam was able to block his attacks and injure him with his own partial transformation, something Gado thought ordinary Rankers incapable of. After igniting the Thorn, Baam was able to cleanly cut off Gado's leg after hitting his weak spot.

Notable Techniques:
 * Wide Range Shinsoo Control Skill - Rainfall 우(雨): Baam gathers large amounts of shinsoo in abstract shapes, which spread across the battlefield and swirl around. Then the shinsoo falls across the battlefield like rain and pierces the enemy wherever it falls. Baam killed dozens of Baylord Yama's trained combat war dogs in seconds using Rain. This technique is reminiscent of Enryu's Red Rain.
 * Shinsoo Control Skill - Wide-Range Skill: Streamflow (신수제어술 광역기 천(川)): Baam gathers large amount of shinsoo in a spiral and makes it into a wide,swirling current. When used on Varagarv,it is strong enough to break Varagarv through the floor and blow him out of the building, even with Blood Tamara activated.
 * Giant Shinshoo Orb: Baam creates an orb which is far larger than any orb he has shown before. Baam himself told the inspector of the 'Dog Shelter' that he would have destroyed the shelter if it wasn't for his promise with Baylord Yama, which infers that he is capable of taking down the entire shelter with this technique, further showing how strong he is. During his encounter with Akryung (악령), Baam's regular Shinsoo Orb was powerful enough to match and overpower his opponent's Shinwonryu-fused attack.
 * Twenty-Fifth Baam Style Wave Explosion - Zero(0) (스물다섯번째 밤 류 공파술 제로(0)): Baam makes Varagrav screech in pain after using this technique even while holding back, which implies that he could possibly kill someone when used at full strength. He learned this technique from Ha Chai.
 * Shinwonryu(신원류): Baam has increased his Shinwonryu power significantly. He was able to break a sleeping Yama's grip on his hand with it. Using this technique, he also caused a sleeping Baylord Yama to partially wake up.
 * Twenty-Fifth Baam Style - Lethal Move: Floral Butterfly Piercing Technique (스물다섯번째 밤류 화접 공파술): Using the technique he learned from Ha Jinsung and making it into his own technique, Baam was able to bring a Ranker from Baylord Paul's group to his knees after hitting him on the arm.

Technique Replication
Though Baam can copy Ranker-level techniques easily, it has been noted that he lacks some of the power behind the attacks (relative to a Ranker). His ability to copy techniques extends to him being able to replicate physical techniques after reading a person's movements and then learning the technique upon impact. It was thanks to this aspect that he was able to learn many types of martial arts during the Hell Train timeskip. The following is a list of shinsoo techniques copied from his battles and the person who he copied it from:

Thorn
In part II, the FUG has chosen Baam to be an experimental subject to create a living ignition weapon. FUG implanted the "Fake Thorn" or so they named it, inside Baam's body. The Fake Thorn is a container that was prepared to contain the real Thorn. It will be used to summon and bind it to Baam. The Fake Thorn is not impotent by itself, as seen when a large "scar" is cut into the wall when Reflejo first gives Baam the replica. It also was used to grant Baam the strength to overcome both Aleksai Amigochaz and Vespa at the same time.

It turns out that the FUG, in this case, those under Karaka's party and Karaka himself, actually intended to melt Baam with the real Thorn as soon he become one with it at the workshop. It is because Karaka wants the Enryu's Thorn to be equipped with Baam's unique power: "Technique Replication". In the end, Karaka's plan failed and Baam managed to escape from the workshop. And then Baam has officially owned the Thorn. It was later revealed that the Thorn that Baam got from the workshop, isn't the only one. It's only the 1st fragment out of 4th fragments. Karaka admitted his crime and plan at the workshop to kill Baam at the hunt station when Baam asked him that why he came personally to see him. Although Karaka said that he is no longer interested with the Thorn that Baam owned and he said just forget it, but later it was revealed that he still after the 2nd Thorn fragment on the Floor of Death. Once again, Karaka's plan to get the 2nd Thorn fragment failed miserably because Hell Joe's plan got wrecked and he was actually lied to Karaka. Later, Baam was granted the access to retrieve the 2nd Thorn fragment by the head of Po Bidau Family, Gustang with conditions. Currently, Bam has owned 2 Thorn fragments and is on the journey to collect the 3rd fragment. There are many number of Baam's techniques that was combined with the Thorn's power and it will most likely to increase more.

Power of The Souls
When the White's Final Clone was impressed by Baam's determination of "not to sacrificed other people", she decided to grant Baam part of the several billion vengeful souls that made up her being. The clone stated that if Baam could withstand their resentment and bitterness then he would be granted tremendous power. It held a tremendous power because it is the culmination of White's stored power when he was once a FUG slayer and high ranker. Baam quickly adjusted to this power and used it to overpower Hoaqin. After defeating Hoaqin, Baam noted that the souls' power had disappeared. However, this doesn't mean the souls have disappeared from Baam's body since White's clone stated that the spirits inside of him will help in the future. This was confirmed when Baam and hockney went to the inner part of 43rd Floor, which requires the person to be stripped of their soul by Soul Devourers and becoming the 'dead'. When Soul Devourers tried to take Baam's soul, they end up pulling a line of souls out of his body instead.

Although Baam has used the souls power on several occasions to strengthen his other power, like when he increased the offense power of the Shinwonryu on the final battle against Hell Joe at the floor of death, currently, the only known Baam's technique derived from this power is the Technique Replication of Arie Hoaqin's swordmanship which using a medium of shinshoo sword that was created out from the hatred of the souls.

Blue Demon
During the Hell Train arc at the Rice Pot Training with the God of the Guardian, Baam was able to met with the Blue Demon for the first time. According to the Blue Demon, his power is the power that can bring Baam quickly straight to the top of the tower, to become a god-like being. Although Baam later refused the Blue Demon's offer because Baam simply didn't trust the blue demon and said that the Blue Demon was a fake power that tried to corrupt, tricked, and guided him into the wrong way. It was later confirmed, that the Blue Demon is not actually a fake power like what Baam believed, when Hell Joe who was merged with Red Thryssa's power, felt the power of the Blue Demon inside Baam's body and feared of it's presence. Hell Joe was so shocked as to why Baam has such power inside him, he said that the blue demon's power is equal to the power of the Guardian. Currently, there isn't any Baam's techniques derived from this power because Baam doesn't want to use it.

Red Thryssa
After its defeat at the hands of Urek Mazino and Baam, it appeared that there is a red entity that went inside of Baam's body. It was then confirmed by Urek Mazino that the red thing that went inside of Baam is the Red Thryssa, saying that he was surprised to why he suddenly felt there is the Red Thryssa's vibe and aura came from Baam. Currently there are no known techniques derived from this power. Although, there is a scene where Baam was shown to be trying to control an Orb, with the Red Thryssa seeming to help him.

Red Thryssa - Level One Transformation: During the battle with Gado, Baam was able to transform parts of his body into the Red Thryssa like Hell Joe. This Level 1 Transformation is strong enough to break through a High-Ranker's attack and even harm them in the process.

Red Thryssa - Level Two Transformation: After igniting the Thorn, Baam was able to progress his transformation to level two. The blade of the transformation grows longer, thinner and becomes lined with red shinsoo. This transformation's attack, when combined with a Shinsoo Black-Hole Sphere, was able to cut off Gado's transformed leg after Canzon pinned him down and held up his weak spot.

Orb Shapes

 * Basic Orb: Upon submerging into a month of training with the data of Koon Eduan in preparation of fighting the data of Zahard, Baam discovered the shape of his shinsoo, which is an orb. Baam only need a week to master the basic shape of an orb.
 * Shinsoo Orb: After Baam learned how to create and control the basic shape of an orb, he practiced by himself to enhance its power. With his determination, the empty orb then was filled with a wave of shinshoo. After taking a proper explanation from Koon Eduan Baam applied his tension and unleashed the orb's power for the first time, revealing its destructive power. An Orb that would produced multiple wave of shinsoo.
 * Giant Shinshoo Orb: In part III, after training with Evankhell, experiencing and fighting many battlefield for 2 years, Baam is able to create a shinsoo orb which is far larger than any orb he has shown before. Baam himself told Bongso, the inspector of the 'Dog Shelter' that he would have destroyed the shelter if it wasn't for dealing in peace with Baylord Yama, which infers that he is capable of taking down the entire shelter with his orb attack, further showing how strong he has changed. During his encounter with Akryung, Baam's regular Shinsoo Orb was powerful enough to match and overpower his opponent's Shinwonryu-fused attack.
 * Thorn Enhanced Shinsoo Orb: The Orb can be enhanced further by adding the Thorn's power, turning the shinsoo inside red and increasing the destructive capability of the shinsoo inside. This is shown when Baam used the Thorn-Enhanced Shinsoo Orb against Koon Kiseia. After witnessing such a powerful attack that can even destroy the ground around her, Kiseia surrendered immediately, because she was sure enough that the attack would've obliterated her if Baam hadn't missed. . A red orb that was enhanced with Thorn's power.
 * Black Hole Sphere Orb - Post Revolution Data Eduan: When the day of Zahard's challenge neared, Baam quickly underwent the revolution with data Eduan to strengthen his Orb. After finishing the revolution, Baam's new orb was revealed. Inside his orb, there is a bright light, almost seems like a sun, but it was still kind of blur and foggy. Then that bright light was later explained to spbe Baam's Shinwonryu by data Eduan.
 * Black Hole Sphere Orb - Battle With Data Zahard: After committing to his true self and personal beliefs, Baam finally released his shining bright Orb during his battle with data Zahard. This time, it's not blur and foggy anymore. Data Zahard said that even himself have never seen something like merged orb and shinwonryu. Baam's orb is strong enough to force Data Zahard on the defensive stand, and released countless baangs in order to destroy it. Data Zahard admits that Baam is more fun than he expected.

Orb Skills
Barrier ShieldShinshoo Orb After realizing that Baam is not an ordinary regular, Data Zahard released his Golden Needle, intending to kill him. This is the same Golden Needle that Data Zahard used to killed Data Asensio and Data Icardi. However, Baam survived the attack after his Orb created a shinsoo barrier field. This barrier is strong enough to defend against an attack like Zahard's Golden Needle level.

Orb - Rapid-Fire Shinsoo CannonThorn-Enhanced Shinshoo Orb This ability appears as though countless bangs of shinsoo are emitted and combined to form a tremendous impact, like that of a cannon. Baam first used this self-created technique to subdue the Divine Sea Fish that attacked Koon Kiseia.

Orb - Spatial ControlThorn-Enhanced Shinshoo Orb After Kiseia surrendered to Baam, both of them was suprised by Rak's sworn enemy behind Kiseia. When the eel was about to attack Kiseia, Baam released his Thorn-Enhanced Shinshoo Orb's power and shot a multiple red wave of shinshoo. Through this technique, Baam is able to control all of the terrifying power he experiences and unleashes it in the form of overwhelming pulsating waves. This gives onseers the impression that shinsoo is enveloping the entire area in Baam's vicinity, appearing as though Baam is in control of the entire space.

After the data Viole has escaped the ice wall of KoonAA's during the battle, Baam was seen to controlled his orb power and soon was attacked by data Viole with a single massive shinshoo shot accross his face. Baam quickly throw his orb and released a single powerful beam of energy across the ground from high in the sky, tearing a deep crevace into the earth several meters long and wide.
 * Orb - Endless SkyThorn-Enhanced Shinshoo Orb

Orb CompressionBlack Hole Orb Baam was able to compressed any debris and probably other materials from the surrounding around his black hole orb in order to protect him from opponents attacks. In the battle with Data Zahard, Baam compressed stone debris around his Orb and used it as a big shield to defend against the Data Zahard's attack.

Orb ScatteringBlack Hole Orb Baam is able to break up his black hole sphere orb and scattered it into many marble-like pieces to create an improvised air barrier when his body left unguarded or open against all the incoming attacks that he couldn't immediately fully defend from. It was strong enough to make Data Zahard's fist to bleed and scratched. Scattered the orb to defend against Zahard's hard punch.

Orb - Defense ModePost Revolution After Baam showing his true self mode, Data Zahard intended to test Baam's power upgrade by attacking him without chance to rest with the second form of Lecalicus, "Coelacanth", and followed by quick combo attack of multiple shinshoo beams that have surrounded Baam at all directions, which immediately forced Baam to cover himself with dark blue shinsoo shaped like a sphere.

Black HolePost Revolution When Baam entered his true self mode, his intense black shinshoo seems to be merged with his Shinwonryu. This has multipled the power of the black hole orb to be more strong powerful. It's strong enough to devour the eel monster of Lecalicus and vanished the Cosmos skill of Data Zahard.
 * }

Post Revolution
Post Revolution: After completing his Revolution on the Hidden Floor, Baam gained a better understanding of himself and his power. This allows him to enter a new form. In this form, his shinsoo turns black and grey. Two horns, one blue and one red, also form on his head. Later he also gained two black wings made out of shinsoo with Blue Oar disks beneath them. Baam commented that this allowed him to use Blue Oar faster than the usual way. With this mode, he is able to force Data Zahard to use more of his power.
 * Twenty-Fifth Night Style: Extreme Black-Winged Butterfly Attack (스물다섯번째 밤 류 극의 진 흑익 화접공파술): Baam's personal style of Floral Butterfly Piercing Technique, this is the first of Twenty-Fifth Night style. It was powerful enough to blow Data Zahard back a large distance while his guard was raised and damaged part of his mask.
 * Twenty Fifth Night Style Special Skill: Extreme Blue Oar (스물다섯번째 밤 류 특수기 진 청노): Baam's personal version of Blue Oar where he tremendously increases the diameter of the disk. When used against Data Zahard, it cut through and destroyed much of arena they were fighting in.
 * Baam-type Shinsoo Control Skill: Orb - Defense Mode (밤류 신수 제어술 오브 방어 모드): Baam covers himself with dark blue shinsoo shaped like a sphere. It was able to completely block 21 baangs from Data Zahard.
 * 'Twenty-Fifth Night' Baam Style Shinsoo Control Skill: Endless Sky (밤 류 신수제어술 장천): Baam combined the power of the Black March and his Endless Sky to perform a powerful attack that was capable of destroying Great Whaley, which the Altar Director claimed was able to withstand most attacks, in just a single attack.

Shinsoo Loop
Shinsoo Loop is a special technique that "gathers or stores" shinsoo non stop to gain energy and then releases it. This technique was taught "theoritically" by Yu Han Sung to Baam because Hansung himself cannot use this technique since it require a stability in deviding shinsoo power. Baam is able to overcome this weakness due to him "blessed by shinshoo", means that his shinsoo power has stability and never gets weaker as he devide his shinsoo power. Hansung specifically invented this technique's concept to help Baam become stronger to defeat Kallavan. Baam will create a shinsoo shaped like a ring that will circling non stop repeatedly in order to perform this shinsoo loop.

Naturally, shinsoo power of someone will decrease as the amount of Baang they control goes up. But, in Baam's case, his shinsoo power stays the same no matter how much baangs he have. Baam is an exception, he can keep absorbing the shinsoo around him. People like Baam are often called as people that "blessed by shinsoo". The so called "genius Wave Controller" Yu Han Sung even wasn't quite blessed as Baam, although he also has a pure shinsoo like Baam (pure shinsoo is indentical to water).

Another example of people who are blessed by shinsoo, will be Kallavan and Ha Jinsung, they are also 'blessed by shinsoo', but not as much as Baam. Like in Kallavan's case, the main reason he can survive from Jinsung's deadly attack "Dragon Tiger Gate" was because the Essence of Bravery, but his "shinsoo blessing" also take a big part in it. "Being able to absorb shinsoo, means you can keep drawing in energy". The skill that Jinsung used to gave Kallavan a wound he couldn't heal, probably used a similiar mechanism to shinsoo loop.

After seeing Baam become more stronger in the part 3, Yu Han Sung then came up with an idea to use this incredible natural gift of Baam, for him to create a "shinsoo loop" that "runs non-stop" so Baam can store up even more power. Such an unlimited, non stop running storing process will keep increasing the density of shinsoo because it will being pressured contless times against each other. There won't be much shinsoo at the first glance, but the power of shinsoo stored in a loop process like that would be like a "sea of shinsoo". The "destructive power" of shinsoo like that would be almost 'infinite'. The power of shinsoo loop that Baam currently has now can slash or cut into half any tall buildings and kill strong regulars at Akryung level.


 * Focused Shinsoo Control Skill-Water Dragon (집중형 신수 제어술-수룡): Baam focuses Shinsoo into a narrow, long linear dragon-like form. As the name implies, the color of the Shinsoo is blue. He uses this technique the first time against Akryung (악령), overwhelming him easily and cut his body into half. However, Arkyung managed to survived Water Dragon's attack because of some mysterious regeneration power, if not because of his power, Baam's attack resulted from shinsoo loop would instantly kill him. After Baam used this technique, Akryung complimented him on having become much more powerful, although he also added that Baam still wasn't strong enough to beat Zahard.


 * Wide Range Shinsoo Control Skill:Water Dragon-Heavy Storm (광역형 신수제어술: 수룡-폭우): A technique that combines the Water Dragon with Rain. Baam gathers shinsoo, and pours it down on the enemy, making it seem like rain. Even without the usage of the Black March and Thorn, he was able to overwhelm a Ranker with this technique, albeit briefly. Even the Ranker whom he was using the technique against commented on whether this was really the technique level of a Regular, implying that Baam is Ranker level, or at least around that level.


 * Focused Shinsoo Control Skill-Chang Dragon (집중형 신수 제어술-창룡): A similar technique to Water Dragon. The difference between the two techniques have not been shown yet, but it appears that this technique is extremely powerful, seeing as Baam was able to push back a Ranker with it and cause the destruction of the surrounding area, even without using the Thorn and the Black March.

Even though it is not his primary Position, Baam has shown that he can use Lighthouses and communicate with it. This shows that he could be able to manipulate at least three Lighthouses, although how much Xia Xia helped him is up for debate.
 * In one instance, he manipulated three Lighthouses to somewhat enhance the effects of his Fast Skip to freeze Ran's attack and also freeze Novick from stealing the bomb detonator. He can also use lighthouse to 'alter' his voice when Koon arrived at the Hand of Arlen.

Baam now has completely grasp the knowledge about bomb device. He learns this ability in the part II after helping Traveller installing some booby traps to destroy workshop patrol. Baam showing this ability again in part III when he purposely surrendering himself to get captured by Varagarv to sneak up inside the shelter to find Deng-Deng. He brings a bag that later was revealed to be a bomb.

Healing Exoskeleton: When Baam is wounded, a crimson lobster-like exoskeleton forms on the exterior of his body which heals his wounds. However, it is not effective for every wound, as it was not activated after his battle with Urek Mazino. Ja Wangnan observes that it must have limits to the degree of wounds it can heal.

Horyang suspects that it may be an example of a living Ignition Weapon. Baam has no idea of its true identity nor how to utilize it upon command. Although, it is mentioned that the lobster was originally a demon that rivalled a god and is able to ignite the true Thorn. Baam commented to Horyang that it was implanted within him by FUG when he was first recruited; apparently, it was well hidden in the water tank on the 2nd Floor.

Weapons

 * Black March (temporary): One of the 13th Month Series, it is a B-rank Needle that has only been seen Ignited when used by Baam. Yuri Zahard lent it to Baam to be used at Headon's Test, but he later carried it to the Second Floor tests before he lost it in a bet to Anak Zahard; it was later retrieved again by Yuri Zahard.  Black March is currently inside Baam as it was absorbed during the battle at the Last Station.


 * Fake Thorn: The container for the real Thorn which was used to summon and bind it to Baam. It is not impotent by itself, as seen when a large "scar" is cut into the wall when Reflejo first gives Baam the replica and also when it was used to grant Baam the strength to overcome both Aleksai Amigochaz and Vespa.

A year after the events of the Workshop Battle, Baam is now up to a level where he can actively use the Thorn's power for 10 minutes per day; any longer than 10 minutes and the Thorn will take over Baam's mind and body before going berserk. After undergoing the first part of "Revolution" in the Rice Pot, Baam has gained a lot more control over the Thorn's augmentative powers being able to use it without any noticeable drawbacks other than general fatigue. While on the Hidden Floor, during a battle with the data of young Zahard, Bam fully ignited the Thorn. The increase in power allowed him to fight on par and eventually overwhelm young Zahard, though it exhausted Bam completely.
 * Enryu's Thorn: Using the fake Thorn as a container to summon the real one, Baam now holds the weapon FUG wants to kill Zahard with, floating over the same shoulder Horyang has his wing. When it was still wrapped inside the container, Hwa Ryun expressed that she had some doubts if Baam could actually activate it "properly". When Baam uses Shinsoo the Thorn reacts to it giving it a blue or purple glow similar to almost enhancing it; as Ron Mei said that he didn't know how to use it properly yet, it is certain that it wasn't the Thorn's real power. Judging by the reactions of the characters at the time, the Thorn was still in a dormant state and its wrapped, concealed appearance did not reflect its perfected form. During the battle against Reflejo, the real Thorn fully unwrapped itself, revealing its original appearance, along with orange energy rings around it, and was considered by Reflejo to have 'chosen' Baam as its master. When awakened, the Thorn allowed Baam's Flow Control to be effective against the previously immune Reflejo and Koon deduced that it was forcibly controlling the Shinsoo around the area, a power that he considered "near god-like". Finally, Baam was able to use it to deal a devastating red beam-like punch that ripped right through Reflejo's mid-section. However, SIU said that the weapon wasn't fully activated yet and that it may work differently depending on who's using it, meaning that we haven't even seen its full power yet. Also, SIU has mentioned that it is indeed a growing weapon meaning it can grow to be stronger than it already is and that it would burst out when needed.
