Warning: Spoilers Ahead!Updated July 18, 2025, by Oluwatokiloba Folami:Tower Of Godhas a lot of really good arcs that effectively portray different aspects of the series. It is incredibly difficult to pick out the best arcs, as each arc has its own beauty, which showcases just how great of a story SIU has put together.Tower of Godis split into several parts with Part 3 being most focused on the battle between the forces of good and Zahard’s Empire. These different parts are made up of numerous short arcs that come together to tell a really good story. With that said, some arcs still manage to rise ahead of the rest and leave a mark on readers.
15Hide-and-Seek
Highlights A Bit Of Baam’s Early Development
The Hide-and-Seek arc from the first volume is a favorite for a lot of people who enjoy Baam’s progression. He became a lot more proficient at manipulating Shinsu and for that reason, Ho became envious of him.
The Hide-and-Seek joint test was a perfect place for Baam to show off his new skillsagainst the Ranker, Quant,and he did just that. He was able to pick up the Fast Skip ability in quite a short time and used it to support Androssi in her battle against Quant, during which they were able to tag him and win.
14King Of The Dogs
Baylord Yama’s Backstory
Baylord Yama, the King of the Dogs, finally got a short arc that sheds a bit of light on his backstory and the horrors he went through before he became a High Ranker. His brothers and most trusted subordinates, Doom and Paul, as well as the rest of the Mad Dogs also featured in the story.
It also showed fans the reason why Yama’s strength and leadership skills make him more suited to being the King of the Dogs than his elder brother Doom who can turn humans into dog people.
13The Dallar Show
A Test With Historical Importance
The Hell Express was filled with a lot of twists and exciting events, and the Dallar Show is one of the best of the bunch. This test was initially used by the heads of the Ten Great Families to splits the rights to different sections of the Tower between themselves after they had climbed it and became its rulers.
This arc entertained well through the three rounds of The Dallar Show and in the end, a few more truths were revealed, and the whole thing was capped by another meeting between Baam and Rachel.
12The Last Station
The Hell Express’ Climax
The Last Station arc, like the name suggests, took place in the Last Station of the Hell Express. It was a deserving climax to all the events that had happened while Baam and the gang were aboard the Hell Train. Zahard’s forces and other Regulars were already positioned ready to ambush those aboard the train when it arrived.
Karaka, White, and several of Baam’s friends were captured by Division Commander Ha Cheonhee, threatening Baam and the other regulars aboard the train with their execution, and a surprising twist was called back from an earlier chapter.
11The Intrusion
A Crucial Part In The War
The war between Zahard and those who oppose him gets closer by the minute, and the dog people are suddenly thrustinto the middle of an active warzonewhen Khel Hellam and Soo-Oh help teleport The Cage to the second defensive wall.
Baylord Yama, Doom, and Paul orchestrate a second surprise attack and are halted by a branch leader of the Lo Po Bia family with a quite interesting ability. Baam also confronts his younger self in a short moment that tugs on readers’ heartstrings.
10A Rough War
Evankhell’s Time In The Spotlight
This arc continues the story of the ongoing war involving the leader of the Lo Po Bia family, the canine Doom, and Paul. Regardless of the arc’s name, it is not just about warfare all through, as it takes fans through the pastof the High Ranker Evankhelland lets them in on his backstory, even though it is for quite a bit, as he stakes his life on the frontlines.
Despite spanning only about three chapters, the value of this arc far outranks most of the others in theTower of Godseries.
9The Second Defensive Wall
The Continued Fight Against Zahard’s Forces
This arc immediately succeeds the Vs. Kallavan arc andbuilds up on the war asBaam and his acquaintances reach the second stage in the battle against Zahard’s forces following the defeat of Kallavan.
At the time of release, SIU went on a hiatus and paused the arc on a cliffhanger that built so much suspense for the return of the series, making it one of the most popular arcs. The war brought back some old characters and saw some new ones forge new alliances to further their goals.
8One Shot, One Opportunity
The First Of The Workshop Battles
The One Shot, One Opportunity Arc took place on the 30th floor and is based on a test of the same name, where E-Rank Regulars face off against each other to win rewards such as items or weapons made by The Workshop.
The reward here was a ticket that admitted one person on top of the Archimedes, one of the five great floating ships of the workshop. There were a lot of stellar fights and displays of strategy in this arc, with Khun, Androssi, Viole, and Hatsu, among others, showing out.
7The Development Tournament
An Equally Engaging Tournament
The Development Tournament is the second part of the Workshop Battle, which featured two brackets going up against each other in contests. The FUG went up against Team Mad Dog on one side and the eight other gamblers on the other end, and the winner of both sides will go up against each other in the finals.
This arc mainly focused on the FUG and Mad Dog sides of things, as they engaged in a contest that was largely entertaining and filled with impressive plays from both sides.
6The Nest
The Conclusion To A Great Battle
Many of the first arcs inTower of God Part Threefleshed out Yama’s character and enlightened people about his backstory, his position as the true King of the Dogs, and one of the best leaders canine people have ever had, so it was sad to see when Yasratcha betrayed his people to join Zahard’s army.
The criminal organization FUG has been clashing with Yama for some time, and this arc brought a conclusion to that conflict. Baam’s ability to rally people proved to be useful here, as he was able to pick up the pieces and offer Yama a bigger goal to look towards.
