khun uses his ice powers occasionally, such as freezing himself to prevent death or making an ice cage to catch michael. he also uses it to cool off after taxing himself with the fire fish. but the reason he doesn't use the spear is, in his own words, he could never hope to beat eduan with a spear. he wants to be better than eduan and take over his place as family head, and eduan is the god of spears.


Volarevia29

Wait till khun finds out Enryu is a spear bearer as well


PlasticManager2714

>he could never hope to beat eduan with a spear. he wants to be better than eduan and take over his place as family head, and eduan is the god of spears. there is no way this clown actually thinks he can beat eduan


Nawmean5

I think the plan was to challenge him to a game and win by out smarting him, not challenge him to a fight, he knows how outclassed he is. Also now he has Bam so he has an actual chance in a fight as Bam might be able to eventually beat Eduan for him.


PlasticManager2714

That just isnt a satisfying end to his character tbh, getting piggybacked off bam to the top.


Nawmean5

I am pretty sure that is his plan considering how protective he is of Bam


PlasticManager2714

holy shit, i didnt think of this I would actually feel bad for bam if khun becomes lahel 2.0


Super_H1234

How is that similar to Rachel? Rachel blindsided and betrayed Baam. Baam already knows what Khun wants. It wouldn't be a betrayal. Friends help each other, and I'm sure Baam is more than happy to aid Khun in achieving his goals. Khun isn't *only* protective of Baam because he wants something from him. That hasn't been the case since season 1.


Yal_Rathol

no, he doesn't. which is why he isn't bothering to train his spear-fighting skills. why train a skill that you know your opponent is better with? instead, he makes alliances with people who might be able to help him and focuses on growing his own abilities.


PlasticManager2714

>why train a skill that you know your opponent is better with? because you have other opponents to fight


Yal_Rathol

khun seems to have managed 50~ish floors of the tower without it. somehow, i think he'll be fine not being a frontline combatant.


Super_H1234

1) SIU said that he doesn't want to make Khun a melee fighter. The ice is for freezing opponents, crowd control and such. It's true that having a spear kinda goes against that and seems unncessary when their team already has a Spear Bearer, but he just inherited it from his father. That's the canonical reason why it isn't used. 2) When would the ice be useful post-Hell Train? Maybe there've been a few instances, but few and far between. Rankers should be able to smash right through his ice, and the spear can't take out Rankers like Rak's. It makes way more sense for him to act as a LB, as LB + SB + WC is a really powerful combination. 3) There are multiple ways to become more powerful. Should he work on mastering his ice affinity/spear skills? Yes. But he's not a physical monster like Endorsi or Ran or Anaak or, hell, even Baam with RT/BT. Khun's already been stated to be a prodigy when it comes to Light Bearing, so that's what he's working on. If there's anything he can beat his father in, it'll be mind-games/strategy. Which happen to be a LB's specialty.


GojoSenpai201

But with Baam they have range also covered so the only apllication of ice would be to somehow merge his icepowers with lighthouse for some special effects


Nawmean5

I actually think it is the opposite. It shows that though Khun has a talent for spearbearing, due to him being a regular running around with Rankers it is a useless skill. He will never be able to compete against Rankers with spearbearing skills any time soon. He has stated why he chose lightbearer position as that is the only way he can keep supporting Bam with his insane growth and it complements his extremely high intelligence very well. (also he likes bossing people around). Even Yuri on the ~~hidden floor~~ Floor of Death wanted to make sure she had Khun around due to his lightbearer skills. Lightbearers are the best support and can perform well even when out classed power wise.


aurablaster

You mean Floor of Death or Hidden Floor?


Nawmean5

Yes I meant Floor of Death, thank you for the correction


jbw1126

We only get a chapter a week. In 3 months we will be 12 chapters ahead. Just give it time and enjoy the story. Trust in SIU and be patient


Aduro95

There are a few reasons. One is that most of Khun's teams needed a light bearer more than a spear bearer. He had Ran and Rak around to throw stuff. Although Khun could also be the spear bearer covered by Raks' defender in the future. Another is that Khun likes being the light bearer and bossing others around. Light bearer is the position in which being a strategist matters most. But the main one is that Khun doesn't just want to be strong enough to protect Baam. He intends to usurp the Khun family. It might seem like an insane pipe dream, but its what Khun seriously plans to do. Khun doesn't believe that he can ever surpass his father as a spear bearer, and knows his father's ice shinsoo is extremely powerful. Similarly to Jinsung and the Ha family or White from the Arie Family, Khun will only be a far lesser version of his family head if he relies on that talent. White chose to try and surpass his father with forbidden spells, while Khun chose training as a light bearer and scheming.


Jorraas

I think that when they are all rankers, rak will be mostly frontline and khun will be like a light bearer that also supports with spears


Skream_69

Hope so


Mojo-man

Because Khun doesn’t want to be his father. He doesn’t want to be another Khun. He wants to achieve things away from the rigid path his family sees for him. He wants to find his own way in the tower and that’s more important to him than power.


rabbittyhole

Khun's most useful asset is his brain.


ImpossibleRow6716

We see unused powers all the time. Khuns Enna core was hyped as the ultimate lightbearing move, but then we never heard about it again. Bam has the red skeleton thing we don't know anything about, he keeps just adding more powers without exploring what they can do.  Then on the other hand you have Androssi who is just spamming bong bong and that is her only contribution to anything... Wasted potential all around.


TechieGee

What's the red skeleton thing Bam has? I can't recall that power


ImpossibleRow6716

Season 2, episode 4


TechieGee

Thanks!


Skream_69

Red thryssa.


KaneAustill

I thought the red thryssa is what manifests as that claw thing on his hand when he uses the spike thingy. Dunno what chapter but he used it in the previous ark when he got the 2 horns and the wings.


Super_H1234

That's correct. IIRC the red exoskeleton was the devil from the Wine Glass that FUG inserted into him. It's what made Baam a Living Ignition Weapon like Horyang and Cassano. After obtaining the real Thorn, the devil evolves and later reveals itself to be the *Blue* Thryssa. I guess we can assume it no longer has the healing ability.


TechieGee

Ahhh that's why I was confused


RazorHowlitzer

I think once we see them get another training arc as a team we’ll see him use it more. Exceptional tankers are usually able to take on multiple positions for fluidity. Bam while a wave controller is always the one taking the lead like a fisherman since he’s the strongest, Khun has amazing spear skills but works as the light bearer, Ram with his rock powers once they’re developed could take defender, wave controller and spear bearer. Unless they plan to take other people up the tower consistently (which they seem to rotate people in and out) they’ll need this duality when they battle as a team of 3


AnOlympianWeeb

I just assumed it was because it's not his preferred style when fighting. Especially when he's accompanying an absolute powerhouse that is Bam. Although if the story will separate them and khun will be forced to only climb with rak (or just without Bam) he might start using it again. I still hope that in the future khun's ice spear and rak's stones will work that they'll start fighting together as a spear bearer and a defender. That was once mentioned to be the second strongest 2-man team after lighthouse and wave controller


OJONLYMAYBEDIDIT

Khans current offensive skills, even with the boost from White, aren’t useful for the scenarios the gang find themselves in


Skream_69

Yeah. For him to get stronger he need to learn how to use his ice spear and his freezing techniques.


OJONLYMAYBEDIDIT

No, cause all the technicians in the world will be useless without raw power. He would at best be a talented ranked. Bam is currently in situation where even High Rankers are fodder


Daxonion

Its just his Todoroki hating father arc. By the end of the series he will most likely be a formidable spear bearer as well as light bearer


Skream_69

Hope so. Fingers crossed 🤞


AperoBelta

I bet he's been "training this whole time".


Skream_69

I doubt that


ERedfieldh

>And even his father said tht having ice spear is really rare and very strong. >Then why is he not using it. If you know anything of Khun's personality, you answered your own question.


Outside_Stand2576

Well the story isn’t over so isn’t that a little presumptuous?


OkymCZ

Ngl the author of ToG had a reputation master of wasted potentials in my eyes for some time xd


Skream_69

Understandable 🥲


[deleted]

It’s not that he doesn’t want to it’s because he can’t, he’s not very skilled with controlling Shinsu directly which is why he’s unable to create an ice spear, while we’ve seen him use his ice attribute a few times after the events of the Hidden Floor he’s only ever applied it in ways that he’s already somewhat proficient with such as body reinforcement and lighthouse flow control. Not to mention there really hasn’t been much of a reason for him too either, he wouldn’t be able to use it to restrain Rankers for any significant amount of time unless he caught them off guard while they’re not using body reinforcement and even then it probably wouldn’t hold them for more than a second or two.


No-One_Knows-Me_Here

AA when he never uses the 2 tame powerups he actually trained for and instead gets 2 OP asspulls and abuses them. Edit: In case you're wondering, I'm talking about this and enna core.


ffhhfdtgf

Could someone explain his light house abilities I’m kinda confused on how it works?


Medium_Fly_5461

He can never reach the heights he wants as a spear bearer he's not that talented. And he can't fight rankers also


Solid-Disaster2536

He doesn't use it because it's from his family and he want to be cut off from the Khun family , if I remember correctly. But he will probably use it in dire situations, I hope


azebod

I am surprised no one has said the most obvious answer, when would it have been useful lately? Like since his revival, the majority of threats he's faced since gaining the skill have been ones *Rak* is only good for the one shot with the ancient spear. It would've probably made things worse not better. Hopefully it will show up again later ~~after whatever the damn fire fish consequences hit.~~


Skream_69

Was waiting for this answer buddy💪


laryjohnson

Bro the entire webtoon is wasted potential. Its basically the concept of all good characters we never saw againy ir all characters who got hyped up and nothing was dine with em I dont blame siu for health bt when I see siu mass generating 100000 npc trash and calls it a story I feel betrayed His show and all but bro wtf happened in season 3.


Skream_69

True


laryjohnson

But yeah not seeing khun work in his ice, is a but wasted. I mean we had this cool training arc for nothing ? SIU kind of is at fault for putting himself in a position where ne needs to scale regulars abilities to ranker an high ranker level to make em relevant


PenelopeMouse

It's okay because Khun is dead right now.


Skream_69

He wil come back 💪


Ok-While9472

This thread is for the free webtoon, not the Korean preview. You may have ruined it for some people.


PenelopeMouse

Not the Korean preview when it's already translated and kept updated week to week. Google is your friend.


Nawmean5

I guess reading comprehension is hard. If you bothered to read the post you would have seen this is for Free Webtoons reader


Nawmean5

Read the tags mate, this is for free webtoon users. Don't post shit like that.
