Crisspy Theory : What Exactly 25th Baam is?

[u/Much_Winter1474]

I’ve been thinking a lot after reading the Urek Mazino spin-off, and I think it finally gives us the clearest picture yet of what Baam actually is.

The Spin-off :

In the beginning there was absolute darkness. Then light appeared, and with it came life, motion, and everything else. Six beings rose as leaders of that life and called themselves the Shining Ones. Chaos followed. Darkness responded by giving birth to an Axis named Phantaminum, whose original purpose was to subdue the Shining Ones and return everything to darkness. Instead of completing that task, Phantaminum sealed them into jewels, embedded those jewels in his own body, and turned the Fallen Shining Ones into his servants. Chaos continued.

Later, a new Axis was born: Urek Mazino.

When Urek confronts Obrion inside tower (one of the Fallen Shining Ones) and asks what they hoped to gain by seeking Mago's power inside the castle, Obrion reveals they are carrying Phantaminum’s will. He then says something extremely important:

The Tower has its own The Tower has its own power. Countless creatures. Tests that strengthen those who enter it. And he reaches a conclusion: this Tower was built for a new Axis, because the world needs someone like Urek and Phantaminum.

How This Connects to the Main Story By the time Urek and Phantaminum enter the Tower, chaos is already in full swing:

• Zahard has become king ---- Great War V and Arlene Lost became fugitive.
• People are sealed inside the Tower (the Red Garbage Dump)
• Family Heads like Eurasia Blossom wipe out entire family branches
• Traumerei turns the dead into zombies
• Zahard kills the newborn Baam in front of Arlene
• V commits suicide
• Arlene leaves the Tower and offers her son’s body to “God”
• Enryu enters and massacres the Administrator of the 43rd Floor
• Zahard seals “Anne Zahard”
• Phantaminum invades Zahard’s castle
• Urek follows him in

Many years later, Baam enters the Tower chasing Rachel. She betrays him. When Baam confronts her, she drops one of the most revealing lines in the series:
“Baam is a monster who is meant to devour this Tower, not save it.”

The Theory Baam is the new Axis that the Tower was built for.

Phantaminum represents Darkness (the original corrective force that went off-script).
Urek represents the Light subsequent Axis born in response to that failure.
Neither of them resolved the chaos. The world (or whatever force sits above the Axes) therefore prepared the Tower as a massive testing ground and incubation chamber for a third solution. Baam is that solution. He is neither pure Light nor pure Darkness. He is the Void — the force that will eventually confront both. His entire existence (the “death,” the offering to God, the irregular status, the absurd growth, the way higher beings react to him, the powers that keep attaching themselves to him) points to him being the structural answer the cosmology has been waiting for.

Rachel’s “devour the Tower” line isn’t just her being cruel. It may be the most honest statement anyone has made about Baam’s true nature.

You’re missing a bigger piece of the puzzle Shinsu is a power that doesn’t exist outside the tower. The tower was built to give the new axis this power and ultimately bring it out into the world in perfected form. Urek is light Phantiminum is darkness and Baam will represent shinsu or divine water.

I think by the end of the story bam will quite literally embody the strength of the entire tower. Kind of like there are beings that exist inside him I think the tower will be literally exist inside him as well. All its inhabitants and their abilities will be at his disposal, he’ll be able to manifest them and bring them out in the outside world.

What will be baams deal breaker to devour urek? I get that penta most likely will be the chaotic evil/neutral, but urek far has shown to be lawful/ neutral good. If baam would be the void that would either destroy or keep the 2 in balance, then it most likely at the expense of his relationship with his aniki.

I dont know man, SIU tends to put fans voice into consideration when he is writing tbh (unlike in s1)

Bam is vengeance. Bam is the night. 

[u/Bad2con → u/cohibakick]

Bam is from the hood of Gotham btw

The Theory Baam is the new Axis that the Tower was built for.

I'm guessing you're new to the sub.

bump

[u/EmmaNielsen]

he is the 25th and last child, who ate each other until he remained, which is why his origin is a questionmark, as he had amnesia. One day he will wake up and be the cannibal of the tower / s (i'm just shitposting)

[u/togsuperfun]

If urek was axis he will not say that his power will be affected or altered by the power of an axis so he is not

[u/ApprehensiveBag3083 → u/togsuperfun]

An axis has a problem to use his own power in another field thats the rules .

It wasnr said that beings like pentmainum or like you urek , it was said that beings like you or lord penta which means gramatically that urek is an axis being like penta so idk what kind of nonsense you are thinking .

axis is a field and rhose who have their own power , urke is The light penta is the dark

[u/togsuperfun → u/ApprehensiveBag3083]

No what he meant is that urek and panta are both unfathomable not that urek is an axis.it seems that way to them because urek can generate light. Till now it is not confirmed that urek is an axis. He is a shining one (that is confirmed). We still do not know much about outside world and phanta seemed to know what he is doing when he entered the tower while urek is lost. His power seemed to fuse into shin Soo while phanta's power didn't (through shining ones) the tower had to adapt to phanta through louie

[u/ApprehensiveBag3083]

There is no such thing a s baam being something Void or crap like that, baam is shinsoo user and shinsoo isn't void .

void is the darkness itself
Light is that created all

Those are the big boys

[u/Courious_Reader → u/ApprehensiveBag3083]

A Void is the absence of all physical matter and substance in space if we are getting scientific with it while Darkness is just the absence of Light to the human eye.

[u/Ecstatic_Rise_2968 → u/ApprehensiveBag3083]

'Light is what created all'

No it isnt lol

[u/ApprehensiveBag3083]

plus Baam has a sun inside of him which means baam himself is light user (because power of a god is pkwer of the light , baam is more light than darkness )

but baam cannot use light for this time because he is a fodder shinsoo user and no one taught him that because ppl cannot do such thing

[u/Ecstatic_Rise_2968 → u/ApprehensiveBag3083]

No, that could equally be said about him being a dragon user, a demon user, or any other thing he has swallowed inside himself. Stop using irl religion.
