So we all know how this is going down, right? Baron Harkeren is gonna get iced by his sister/great-*granddaughter and then all the Titans are gonna latch onto Historia who will become the God-Empress of the world

Alternatively, all the Titans merge with grape ape to become the Time Devourer and so the gang's gotta go across dimensions to stop Lavos

It'll turn out that the Titans were actually upholding the natural order of the world and killing them all starts the rapture. Historia's last line makes me think she's getting possessed already

I think she's just knows the role she's going to have to play now that they've knocked over the rest of the royal family. The people are more likely to fall in line if they spin this as family politics rather than a new military government.

T.G. Xarbala posted:She's just showing some ambition is all. Yeah, this. Basically by doing this she is showing that she is different from Reiss and the people who came before. She isn't hiding in the shadows while the people under her rule are being massacred. Shes out in the open, taking charge and risking her life by jumping into the front lines to protect people. That's a 180 from the royal family's previous mo and the first king's will. Basically she's being a badass.

I just realized something. Eren's dad looks really Asian, and he clearly had links to the "outcast"community, and lived and worked a lot with the people at the furthest edges of the Walls even in the Wall society. Asians and other ethnic minorities are immune to the memory stripping power of the First's King's power. Eren's dad might have been from a line of doctors kept around to preserve medical knowledge that the First King's ideology wanted out of the hands of society as a whole, which would explain his extraordinary medical skills and links to the rulers of the Walls. And he knew Historia's older sister, the one with power over memory. Anyhow, there are memories stored in the basement. e: They also know Historia, or her allies, command a Titan. I'm pretty sure that is as big as news to them as it was to Eren and Co. when he transformed. Hodgepodge fucked around with this message at 20:59 on Apr 15, 2015 |

You know, that's a pretty solid piece of speculation. We've seen Eren and Historia unlock memories by touch. It's possible there's an idiot-savant Titan chained inside of the basement.

You know, I don't really care about the basement too much. It's gonna be the standard "These answers raise only more questions" type of reveal. What I really want to see is Mikasa's tattoo. It's going to be an American flag or a Crips symbol or something like that. Just to gently caress with the readers.

Nike Swoosh. EDIT: I actually think the tattoo has been retconned out. The anime didn't mention it at all - I think it was replaced with an vaccination or something. Squidster fucked around with this message at 23:24 on Apr 15, 2015 |

Squidster posted:Nike Swoosh. A cross-stich pattern, I think. Too bad, even as a dropped plot thread I think that a tattoo suits Mikasa better. One of my favorite parts about reading the manga is seeing how it evolves as the anime becomes a second-draft of some minor details. For instance, in the manga it was Armin's parents that died in the so-called Reclamation of Wall Maria, but in the anime, Armin's parents had already died trying to go to the outside world and his grandfather had died in the Reclamation instead. Then in a recent chapter in the manga, when Eren was naming all the people who had died because of the Titan powers Grisha put in him, he only mentioned Armin's grandfather. That probably means that in the montage scene of all the people that Military Policeman had tortured and killed, the young couple who were were trying to go over a wall in a hot air balloon were probably Armin's parents.

BravestOfTheLamps posted:They say everything in the chapter, the common people think the military is trying to show off its power, and remember the king being harmless compared to them. But then everyone saw a titan peering over the walls and the military killing it. Should be pretty easy to spin: titans can be manufactured from humans, counter-revolutionaries activated this secret weapon as a last ditch effort to regain power, and scouting legion killed it and saved thousands in the process. If anything, this solidifies the power of the scouting legion.

My guess is Mikasa's tattoo would have shown up on Kenny and Levi but that would have spoiled any surprise or been more awkward so it was just ignored.

Nelson Mandingo posted:My guess is Mikasa's tattoo would have shown up on Kenny and Levi but that would have spoiled any surprise or been more awkward so it was just ignored. I think it was from the other, Asian side of her family. I kind of wonder if the Ackerman thing weren't originally from being Asian, but then the criticisms of the series' nationalist subtext early on caused him to rethink that element. It's certainly one of the places Isayama ends up giving the middle finger to anyone trying to read the series as fascist.

Hodgepodge posted:I think it was from the other, Asian side of her family. Yeah that's what I was thinking. But I suspect the genetic superpowers deal in the story will eventually be revealed to be because of genetic engineering and not because of racist caricatures. The Ackerman family's super strength will be because the king needed super powerful bodyguards. Hell with how Isayama answers pretty much every question you could ask so far in the series I'll go so far to suspect every human in the story will have genetic engineering. If the 3dm gear worked in real life you wouldn't be able to stop, would have to use goggles, and would pass out / kill yourself from the extreme speeds. This will probably be handwaved away by saying everyone has genetic manipulation that allow the this superhuman ability to use them that seems mundane.

I'm not sure Mikasa actually has super strength. That one time with the knife seems to have been Eren giving her a boost with the Coordinate. I mean, she's hella strong, yeah, but not super strong.
