Tower of God Season Two Episode 17 – Quick Summary
In Tower of God Season 2 episode 17, “Funky!,” Rak had a bone to pick with Khun. After an initially joyful reunion, Rak asked Khun when they were going to go after the Black Turtle. Rak wanted to start climbing the Tower again with his friends, Blue and Black Turtle. But Khun’s hesitation did not sit well with Rak. Why’s Khun hesitating? Is it part of a grand plan? Does Rak have the patience to find out?

Favorite Quote from Tower of God Season Two Episode 17
Rak and Khun understand each other well. Capture from the Crunchyroll stream.
It was great to see Rak and Khun together again. Their chemistry, and the interactive chemistry of many of the first season characters, drove a lot of my enjoyment of that first season. And it gave me my favorite quote of the episode.
Khun doesn’t like to not know something, so he grilled Rak on how he found out about Viole’s true identify as Black Turtle (or Bam – which works for you!). Rak even came out and said that he knew everything that Khun knew. So Khun asked him who gave him the info.
“The Red Turtle,” he said without hesitation (08:19).
How well do these two know each other? This well:
“Hwaryun, huh?” Khun said, instantly knowing who Rak meant.
It might seem like a trivial thing, but I really enjoy characters who know each other so well they can use verbal shorthand or understand each other’s dialects.
Favorite Moment from Tower of God Season Two Episode 17
Travel-sized Rak seems to have underestimated Khun. Capture from the Crunchyroll stream.
Rak seemed to think Khun had given up on rescuing Bam. I can’t blame Rak for coming to that conclusion. The evidence suggests that Khun’s either given up, or is working on something else. Rak has a goal, and that goal is climbing the tower with the Blue and Black Turtles. Anything less, now that they know the Black Turtle is alive, is simply not acceptable.
How do I know Rak feels this way? Because he told me! He said (12:42), “I just wanted to share my joy with you and the Black Turtle.”
I love how he just put that out there. No beating around the bush; no trying to be vague or tsundere.
By this point, Rak and Khun had been fighting. It amused some of Khun’s team; others, it freaked out. Now, after saying his piece, Rak turned to leave. He figured Khun would continue to hesitate. But Khun surprised him.
Rak was ready to leave until Khun shared his goals. Capture from the Crunchyroll stream.
“At tomorrow’s Workshop Battle,” he said in a suddenly menacing tone (12:51), “I’ll pummel the FUG until the grand prize and Bam are mine.”
Khun wasn’t hesitating. He was planning and waiting for the right time. Rak’s an impatient sort, so I can see how he wouldn’t appreciate the difference between doing something now and doing something later. But it was great not only seeing Rak and Khun interact again, but to see that Khun still has his edge. Dude thinks big, and I respect that.
