Thorn Backstory


 * Note: This dialogue was from Tower of God Wiki.

Enryu's Thorn is an item surrounded by mystery. Not much is known, solely that it was a massive object found at the location where the Irregular Enryu killed the 43rd Floor Guardian. It was divided into four fragments with the first one being found by David Hockney. Hell Joe had three of the four fragments excavated and he handed at least one of them to FUG. The last fragment has yet to be found by Hell Joe although it has been revealed that it is hidden in the Spirit Room in North City.

Studying one of the fragments, FUG found that it was "dead inside and had a hollow body" and could not be used. The organisation subsequently worked with the shady scientists of the Workshop to try and find ways to create living Ignition Weapons so that it could be used to fulfill their objectives. FUG's intention was to give the Thorn to the Slayer candidate Baam to increase his power and aid them in killing Zahard. However a faction within FUG lead by Karaka and several Elders decided that such a plan was too risky and instead planned to merge Viole with the the Thorn.

The Thorn was hidden within an aquatic arena being used for the Workshop Battle Finals. In a turn of events it was stolen by Baam. According to Hwa Ryun, the "Fake Thorn" given to Viole acted as a "bowl" for the real one. When Beta trapped Baam inside the true Thorn's chamber, it started to slowly react with the original and begun its summoning. During the battle against Reflejo, the Thorn emerged from its container, allowing Baam to attain victory. This fragment now hovers above Baam's right shoulder in a compressed form.
