As with most anime adaptations, some scenes are missing from the source material, and the Tower of God manga has its moments.
Three key parts of the tower
The tower is divided into three main areas, each serving a different purpose and serving a different class of people. A brief summary of the structure is as follows:
- inner tower The Inner Tower is where the action happens. It is governed by a vertical, test-driven environment. ShinsuWhere regular people attempt to climb floors, each floor has its own unique tests and challenges.
- external tower This section is home to the general population. Unlike the inner tower, the outer tower serves as a huge residential area with each floor the size of the American continent.
- middle area The central area acts as a bridge between the inner and outer towers. This is a space that promotes interaction between regulars, rankers, and residents on both sides of the tower. This area is important for inter-floor movement and serves as a commercial and living center for rankers who have earned the right to reside.
Inner Tower: A Test of Strength and Strategy
The Inner Tower is where the Regulars, individuals chosen by Hedon, the tower's mysterious ground floor guardian, undergo a series of trials.
Each floor is ruled by a high ranker with permission from the guardian of that floor, and if they succeed in this test, regulars can move up to higher levels. An important aspect of the interior tower is its manipulation. ShinsuIt is a powerful source of energy that influences life inside the tower. Without a contract with a Guardian, even the most powerful Regulars are limited in their ability to control this mysterious force.
Every test in Inner Tower is designed to challenge not only the regular's stamina, but also their wits, teamwork, and strategy. In this sense, the Tower is not only a vertical battlefield, but also a political and spiritual puzzle in which regulars must navigate the alliances, betrayals, and complex social hierarchies that define Tower society.
A unique case on the 43rd floor
One notable exception within the inner tower is the 43rd floor. Here Enryu killed the Guardian, leaving the floor without its usual ruler and forcing the climbers to traverse the treacherous central area to bypass it. This floor is an anomaly in the tightly controlled tower system and represents the volatility hidden within the seemingly solid structure.

The Outer Tower: a world of its own
Unlike the harsh ordeals of the Inner Tower, the Outer Tower is where most of the Tower's population resides. It is a huge residential area with vast changes in culture, climate and environment across numerous levels. Each layer operates almost as a separate world, with its own society, traditions, and sometimes even a government. Despite Zahard's conquest of the Tower, many residents are unaware of his rule, which exists in a remote kingdom far removed from the politics of the Tower's upper echelons.
The lifespan of Outer Tower residents varies depending on their status; regular residents live for about 200 years, while regular residents who fail to climb can live up to 500 to 600 years. Although the environment here may seem less dangerous, the outer towers are just as harsh as the inner zones and have their own rules and social structures.
Central area: center of commerce and exchange
The central area serves as the central hub of the tower and is where regulars and rankers gather. It is smaller than the Outer Tower and is mainly used to move between the Inner and Outer sections. The standard of living here is higher than in most of the Outer Towers and it operates as a bustling center of trade and politics. The central area is where many regulars who have given up on climbing the tower settle down, and although they are still far below the rankers, they enjoy a better status than the Outer Tower.
The area is also very important for business and commerce, serving as a meeting place for regulars and rankers alike. However, the influence of Guardians and Rulers is felt here as well, and the labyrinth layout of the central area means that only someone with expertise such as a Guide can navigate it effectively.
