Talk:White/@comment-26616484-20160128182154

My craving for TOG has been kinda bad lately and I can't really wait for the next chapter so I'm just gonna throw out another possible theory. In the latest chapter discussion, Athanos mentioned the possibility that White's true power comes from the souls he eats and he has no actual power to speak of. In a way, he cheated his way to a Slayer level and became very powerful very quickly. Because of this, my theory is that White is not in fact a Ranker, but is actually a D-class Regular. You see, Rachel called White/Hoaqin her thorn and wants to use him to climb the Tower. However, if he is a Ranker he'll be excluded from all her tests. There would be no benefit for Rachel, except to perhaps get her in FUG's good books (which as an Irregular, she already should be). But if he is a Regular then if Rachel gets him in her group, she'll have a Regular with the power of a Slayer on her side, making her team more or less invincible.

So just to reiterate what I think the timeline is:

1.Hoaqin fuses with his four siblings and is chosen by Headon to climb. He takes maybe about 10 years to become D-class, when he goes to the Middle Area and with the help of the demon that resides within him, murders a billions individuals and becomes powerful enough that FUG makes him a Slayer.

2. After continuing his murders for a while, a Princess of Zahard finds and defeats him, costing him all his souls. He and his siblings runs to the Hell Train and waits there for 600 plus years to regain their powers.

3. Current Hell Train arc

Of course, if SIU reveals that White actualed made it to Floor 134, all this theory goes to shit, but I think these events might be possible.
