Tower of God Wiki

Welcome, Son of Arlene. Now I've finally gotten to see your face. I'm Po Bidau Gustang. I have been waiting for you for a long time.

—To Twenty-Fifth Baam[5]

Po Bidau Gustang (포 비더 구스트앙, Po Bidder Gustang) is an Irregular and the Family Head of the Po Bidau Family. Tens of thousands of years ago, Gustang entered and climbed the Tower with Zahard and other 11 Great Warriors. After Zahard stopped their climb and decided to became the King of The Tower, Gustang created his own family and at some point in history, also married his fellow Great Warrior companion Eurasia Blossom. During The Great War conflict, he chose to remain loyal to Zahard.

Gustang is currently travelling with his family, on board of their family's mothership called Ark of Knowledge. He stays close to protect his family because Zahard had declared hostility against Gustang as stated within the third article of the latest Three Orders which ordered followers of the Zahard Empire to eliminate the entire Po Bidau Family.

About[]

Gustang is one of the Great Warriors and the first living being to systematically record knowledges about Shinsu. He is the Tower’s most famous Wave Controller and writer. Excluding the eccentrics within The Workshop, he probably knows the most about The Tower.[2]

Gustang and The Workshop have a pretty close relationship. So much so that Macseth (The Great Father of The Workshop) and Gustang often get together to exchange stories.[2] Because of this close relationship, there exists a rumor that says "Gustang knows the way out of the Tower".[2] Hearing this rumour, Urek Mazino once visited Gustang to learn the way to leave the Tower. However, he left after a while with a headache and complained to Baek Ryun, “It'll be easier for me to dig my way out of the Tower with a spoon than to learn anything from that guy”.[2]

Gustang is the one who pioneered the research of Shinsu[6] but, other than Shinsu and knowledges about the Tower, Gustang was highly interested in researching and learning about the "Guide" Position.[2] However, the topic of the "Guide" is a highly taboo topic within the Research Association.[2] Some believe it's because of his pride as a researcher that he doesn't want anyone else to take his research targets.

Notes and Trivia[]

  • Gustang's sobriquet "Aloof Wave" means something like "alone but elegant", like the English term the "Lone Wolf". An alternate translation would be the "Lone Wave".[3]
  • It seems Gustang loves to smoke cigarettes. He was seen at the beginning of the Workshop Battle with a plain cigarette and later on smoking a mysterious cigarette that Madoraco states it is "a top product only sold by his merchant group" and only a few can get their hands on it.
  • He is the first family head and the second top 20 ranked character to be shown in and directly affect the active plot of Tower of God.
  • "Gustang looking at Blossom" has become a comparison for envying a person's natural talent while the envious one has plenty of natural talent themselves. It has evolved to describe a man and woman in a poor relationship.[6]
  • It's widely known that Gustang was both Blossom's greatest fan and hater. There are many stories floating around about the union of the two, however, most are fake. But it is a fact that a certain legal document exists in the possession of the sealed Princess, Enne Zahard, that contains a secret about the two.[2]
  • SIU noted that he is an extremely influential character over the whole story, as well as a dark mastermind.[7]
  • He is probably named after the Norwegian scientist Gustav Gaudernack.
  • Hwaryun told a person in FUG that Urek Mazino's appearance in Floor of Death surprised her, notably excluding Gustang. It implies that Gustang's appearance in Floor of Death was part of the plan.[8]

Quotes[]

PART 2

  • (Answering the mysterious person in radio about the "real" Prince of Zahard who will take the tower's final test) "You're too impatient. Let's watch a little bit longer. Their adventure has just begun."[9]
  • (To White) "Because of your sense of inferiority toward your father, now you've gotten yourself trapped in a torment you can never escape."[5]
  • (To Urek Mazino) "Well.. I can sort of understand why you're behaving so strangely, since someone the size of a whale is suddenly stuck in a little fishbowl."[5]
  • (To Urek Mazino) "The only people equal to you here are us, Ten Family Leaders and Zahard. To them, that "Wolhaiksong" or whatever little games that you play with your friends are just a deception."[5]
  • (To Twenty-Fifth Baam) "Welcome, Son of Arlene. Now I've finally gotten to see your face. I'm Po Bidau Gustang. I have been waiting for you for a long time."[5]
  • (To Baam) "I won't talk about your father. He was the absolute worst person that I've ever met. You'll find out eventually."[10]
  • (To Baam) "You're interfering with them for nothing right now. They themselves chose to be here. Are you trying to force your opinion on them just because you don't think that was good choice?"
  • (To Urek Mazino) "Yes, he is. A bug that would blow away with even a sigh from you. A bug that would be crushed to death if you stomp your feet. A bug that could never ever reach the soles of your shoes no matter how high it flies. You can give a name and feel affection for it, but a bug is still just a bug."

PART 3

  • (Ambushed and attacked Lo Po Bia Family Mothership) "How dare you make me leave my reading club to come here. As punishment, I'm going to read you a book. The book is called... Oh, look at that "Destruction". I wonder if I'll finish the book before you all turn to ashes or if your master appear and stop me first. Let's wait and see."[11]
  • (To Lo Po Bia Pudidy, Lo Po Bia Perseus, and Lo Po Bia Holan) "Why does our family exist? We're the Po Bidau Family. Our greatest pride is our books which contain the truth passed down to us over the ages. There are people out there spreading false history through books and seeking to distort the truth. Are we really going to ignore that and accept their corruption out of fear of war? No. We must defend the truth, even if it means sacrificing ourselves in a sea of blood. Our library's peace and calm must be protected at all costs. We will burn the lies to make the truth shine forth. That's the Po Bidau Family's duty. We're going to fight against all the lies!"[12]
  • (To Holan, after killed Pudidy and Perseus) "Listen here, little vermin. I'll spare you. Take this disgusting book back. And tell your whole family. Show them that corruption is only temporary, but the resulting agony is eternal. And if you see Traumerei, tell him for me. I admire your courage in entering our territory. But for your sins you will taste hellfire. if you don't tell him, your tongue will catch fire, and you'll be reduced to ashes in a matter of seconds. Go ahead. Go and spread the calamity of war to your family."[12]
  • (Talking about the 10 Great Families past to Lo Po Bia Traumerei) "Friends are supposed to cover each other's flaws and have each other's back. But there's always that one guy who can't stand the feeling of being separated from the others, so he burrows into the rupture and tries to destroy the group. As you know, we're not terribly important in the tower now. We've been at a standstill for far too long. Ever since that day. The day when we stopped climbing the tower on the current highest floor and closed the door to even higher floors! Since then we've learned to forget and we've both sealed away important memories we would like to forget with our own storage methods. Did we run away? Or did we choose to stop climbing the tower? I don't understand why we stopped there and didn't keep climbing. We're ignorant. And I've always despised ignorance. So I need to find out. Even if it means losing everything I've had until now."[13]
  • (About Traumerei, to Proust) "He acts like a loner anyway, even when he is surrounded by people. He knew this day would come eventually. He knows that he is destined to be betrayed by the things he loved. The Lo Po Bia family is finally going to be brought down."[14]
