Is the Pitch Changeup a Wonsulsa technique?

I believe it is due to: Answered by Urek Mazino
 * 1) Love thinking that it of all techniques wouldn't be copied.
 * 2) After re-reading the chapters that show the technique it seems to fulfill the criteria for being a Wonsulsa technique.

'Ever since the color scheme has changed when I try and edit things using the source tab the background becomes light blue with white text. I can't read anything like that so I have to copy the text to somewhere else in order to work on it. Am I the only person having this problem?'

FAQ
'Q1. Why is Yu Han Sung listed as a High Ranker when he turned down the position of being a High Ranker?'

Answered by Urek Mazino and Zahard
 * Mistranslation, Yu declined a job position for a High Ranker, his rank might be somewhere between 500-1000. Actually, no one knows. Also, ranks are compulsory. A sobriquet can be turned down but a rank is imposed by the Ranking Bureau.

'Q2. I thought Akryung was prepared by Headon, how can that be true if Androssi knew him?'

Answered by Urek Mazino and Tofu21
 * Another mistranslation issue. There were actually 2 meanings insinuated: "Androssi knew him" or "he was already with her", 'he' being Akryung and 'her' being Rachel. Grumpy chose the former because it made more sense then. But given the new context, the latter is the accurate meaning.

'Q3. Is Yu Han Sung or Ho a woman?'

Answered by Zahard and Tofu21
 * Nope. Take that up with SIU. But given he is Korean, he probably knows the Taoist concept of "yin and yang" (not Western duality but two opposites co-existing or even struggling). In this context, male and female co-exist in one form (harmony). We may soon see a woman who looks like a man, don't say you weren't warned.

'Q4. Is Baam Zahard? Doesn't it make sense, since Baam lived in isolation so long, and Zahard is "hibernating"?'

Answered by Zahard and Tofu21
 * No. No no no no no no no no no. That's because Zahard is still alive and he's still ruling as a King. As of Season 2 Prologue, he was very pleased Yuri Zahard had retrieved the Green April. And in Season 1, he might have been the one who ordered the retrieval of the Green April. To the people, he may be "hibernating" and only appears rarely but to the Royalty and Ruling class, he is still active.

'Q5. Is Phantaminum Baam or ____?'

Answered by Tofu21
 * Nope, never. Tower of God is governed by very strict rules and it's unlikely SIU would bend them to allow a character to warp into different people. That'd allow too many potential and random changes to the story when it's much easier to restrict the amount and type of possible actions a character can take. And even an Axis (if he is indeed one) has limits and is probably bound by rules.

'Q6. The translation says Urek can create life but the wiki says it's Enryu why is this?'

Answered by Urek Mazino
 * It was a mistranslation, the original translator has confirmed his mistake and it is indeed Enryu who can create life.

'Q7. Why do Part I characters have their Part II ages listed when they haven't appeared?'

Answered by Urek Mazino
 * There was a 5 year time-skip, so we simply added 5 to the Part I ages.

'Q8. Did Eurasia Enne Zahard have a son called Baam/Viole or ____ since her parents are highly talented in Shinsoo and "some other talent"?'


 * Again, nooo... Zahard would probably execute her son, if that was the case. This is because having a child is against the rules binding all Princesses and no Princess is exempt from the rules. If the entire Tower found out the King practised favouritism, the citizens would probably be in a total uproar. Remember, she is sealed and probably within the Inner Palace or somewhere near the Palaces. And security is probably extremely tight, with multiple alarm systems so she can never get out.

Answered by Tofu21
 * Yes, Shinsoo exists even in sealed places so she is probably "alive" in a sense but she is perhaps, dead to the world. Since there's nothing mentioned how she can't leave, so it may even mean she's permanently blind, paralysed, chained or even amputated to keep her from "walking out". After all, there's no way the King would let a walking bomb run around freely.

'Q9. Why in the hell is Rachel an Irregular? She can't be one!!!! NOOOOO!!!! I will never accept it!!!! NEVER!!!!'


 * Sorry but SIU has confirmed she is an Irregular. Read below.

Answered by Tofu21
 * Remember, Irregulars are chosen for a certain purpose but they are not chosen to adhere to some moral code. Becoming an Irregular doesn't change what a person is and doesn't change them into someone else. Everyone is bound and influenced by their upbringing, whether they grew up in peace or war, the practises and customs of their hometown/homeland, their education, what society teaches them, etc. Same for all Regulars.

'Q10. I thought all Regulars are chosen from the Outer Tower(Residential Tower) and outside the Tower? Why did you change it?'


 * It's a general misconception Headon teleports outside the Tower to select Regulars because we didn't know about the Gong Bang then. Many assumed the Middle Area couldn't be inhabited.


 * Now that it's revealed Gong Bang resides in the Middle Area and some of its members are also chosen to become Regulars, this makes much more sense when Lero-Ro said that most Regulars come from the Residential Tower (Chapter 10).


 * So this means: Regulars are from inside the Tower and Irregulars are from outside the Tower. Simple? ^__^

Answered by Tofu21
 * Please don't get mad at us... SIU is the one who writes the story. >__<;; He's the ultimate god who decides whether mutant chickens also exist in Tower of God too.

'Q11. I thought Yuri Zahard was the only one out all chosen Princesses in the last 500 years, to be selected to receive the Black March? Why did it change?'


 * It seems there might have been a translation error because now it all makes much more sense. Informal Princesses aren't Rankers while those who become Rankers have a chance of being chosen as formal Princesses. When their ability is recognised, they become chosen as formal Princesses and get to receive a 13 Month Series. After all, the Tower filters out the unqualified.

Answered by Tofu21
 * "Not all princesses can receive the 13 Months Series - Their ability must be recognised first. Princesses who have climbed the Tower and become Rankers are selected once more as "Chosen Princesses" and are granted the 13 Months Series."

'Q12. So, I'm confused. Wasn't Baam bound by a shackle when forming the Shinsoo contract on the 2nd Floor?'


 * In Chapter 29, the Guardian told Baam: "But remember, ye who climbs the Tower, this is not your power but your shackle. Always remember."

Personally, given the atmosphere of the Korean dialogue, he meant something like "Be careful, Bam. These may look like powers but they are actually a burden you'll have to carry". So he's trying to say the ability to use Shinsoo is a curse, not a blessing. It was nothing literal, there should be nothing in particular holding Bam. Answered by Tofu21
 * Well, Tofu21 asked GoDai (a Korean translator on this site) and this is what he had to say (edited a bit):
