Hey guys I thought of a theory while rereading the recent arc of ToG and thought I'd share it with you all since I think its very plausible. I believe that Phantaminum is actually Baam's father V.. hear me out.

The first piece of evidence I have to support my argument is Gustangs reaction to Baam when Baam asks him about his father in chapter s2ep258, Gustang's reaction was simular to that of fear and then said that he is the "worst person" (similar to what Yuri said about Phantiminium when she saw him invade Zahards palace). While mentioning Yuri & Phantaminum, the reason why he killed everyone except Yuri could be because she looks basically identical to Yurin and of course he climbed the tower with Yurin.

Secondly we know Guram Zahard didn’t tell Baam the truth entirely regarding his backstory/origin, I’m guessing that would be the part about his father... V just killed himself? Ya sure ;) It also gives a reason for why Phantaminum stormed Zahards palace as well, Zahard killed his son!

I refuse to believe that Baam is just the son of Arlene Grace one of the great people who climbed the tower with Zahard otherwise he would just be equivalent to that of a son of Koon, Arie or Ha etc. I understand he is special because he has the power of the God outside the tower however there must be something about his father since he keeps getting mentioned regarding FUG etc.

V is confirmed a fake name as it was just an affectionate name Arlene called him, they say Viole's name could be its origin. This is all pretty unknown at this stage but its the only evidence I have against this theory so far. Phantaminum could be the name he gave himself after becoming an Axis as well.

So thats it! let me know what you guys think :)

I understand he is an Axis but it states it was "awakened" we don't know how Axis' get awakened but it could be from trauma (like Sharingan for example lol) his newborn son was murdered and wife went insane. So ya thats not enough to shut the theory down.

edit courtesy of Sima: Phantaminum in Korean translates to (펜타미넘, Pentamineom) Penta = 5 = V could be a subtle indication of Phantaminums true identity.
