Being born free is the first article of our unviersal declaration of human rights, a thing we came up with and generally agreed on after the atrocities during the second world war. I'm not being condescending here, it is also my favourite line of the story because it gave it real meaning for me.

Crunchyroll and Mangastream don't have the new chapter up yet, where y'all reading a scan? E: nevermind, found it. Pretty great time for AoT, getting Return to Shiganshina animated, and this arc is really loving great too. ATP_Power fucked around with this message at 19:24 on May 8, 2019 |

Lol, that last set of panels. I have no idea what to expect but drat that was so weird to see happen. I still want another flashback chapter to have Reiner explain his thoughts, but I doubt we will get anything more than a warrior therapist during a fight.

I just really hope this fight ends definitively. No more pieck rescues. No more uploading your brain into your titan's nervous system.

I don't know about it being the end of it, but it must definitely end with another shifter down, so either Pieck or Porco.

I'm still holding out hope that this rumble royale will be gatecrashed by unfrozen Annie. I don't think that Marley knows she's still alive.

If she does show up I hope she flips sides and does a back-to-back combat pose with Erin in titan forms as the enemy titans storm towards them It'd be inordinately shonen of the series to do but gently caress it I wanna see it

Annie is definitely not gonna side with Marley if she wakes up. She's been incubating a redemption. Which is also why she won't side with Aaron, but instead her double-boyfriend Armin.

Elias_Maluco posted:Reiner knows, so I guess they would too From Marley's perspective, Annie is MIA. They suspect the Paradisians captured her, and the fact that she never attempted to make contact with them at Shiganshina in the months between R&B's escape and the battle for Wall Maria indicates that, at the very least, she had been in no position to do so at the time. But they just don't know for sure, and it's been years now. Worst case scenario is she was captured and eventually fed to a titan to transfer her power, but having been killed during her capture attempt or executed after interrogation are both possibilities. They probably know about the crystallization ability, but they can't know for sure that was her ultimate fate.

I think Reiner is just done mentally, and is solely motivated out of a sense of guilt/obligation at this point Conversely, something about Eren in this chapter made me 100% sure that he hasn't been taken in by Zeke. The idea of being this fired up, this fierce about a plan that basically amounts to "no more babies" seems too incongruous, even for someone who's head has always been stupid and mixed up.

OnimaruXLR posted:I think Reiner is just done mentally, and is solely motivated out of a sense of guilt/obligation at this point Yeah, Reiner is just done. That's been very firmly established already - ever stalwart, he's performing his duties as a Warrior to the best of his ability, but deep inside he's spent years just waiting to finally die, and only a sense of obligation towards his comrades has kept him from putting an end to it himself. He also sees the power of the titans as a terrible burden/curse, so here killing Eren is a mercy. As for Eren, the moment Zeke's plan was explained I just knew, but what nailed it was Armin crying upon hearing it from Yelena. "[Oh, thank God! My friend hasn't gone insane, he's just being a stubborn rear end like always, and is trying to handle everything on his own in order to protect us.]" "Why are you crying?" "Crying? Oh, huh... it's because I'm just so moved! Yeah! This is an awesome plan, I'm so happy Eren is totally cool with it. Absolutely, 100%."

I'm starting to wonder where they intend to end this season. Chapter 90 is the only logical break point, but three episodes in, they've already animated over six of the remaining 18 chapters.

I've been wondering the same since episode 1, and figured they were probably going to map each one to 2 manga chapters, which they've been doing so far. But there's going to be 10 episodes total, so that'd leave 1 if we cut at 90 (and there really is no reason to go past 90 for just an episode). Perhaps they'll fill out Grisha's backstory further? Or at least take a slower pace with it and with the epilogue.

OnimaruXLR posted:I think Reiner is just done mentally, and is solely motivated out of a sense of guilt/obligation at this point I know that would be the easy way. I was a bit lost in the flash back arc much like I was with the entire king of paradise arc before the showdown, until he showed the pain that Reiner was feeling. I just would like another chapter just to explain his feelings. Too me the best arcs of the series have been the stuff leading up to the king of paradise and the flashback to marley arcs. I'm still holding out that Reiner is in possession of the defender titan and not the armored titan. Holy poo poo I went back to read some chapters of the flashback arc and look what I found.   I never even noticed the background characters until now. Tenzarin fucked around with this message at 06:08 on May 13, 2019 |

Maera Sior posted:I went off the deep end last night in my theorizing based on finally figuring out why a shot in the opening was so familiar. Short version: I think the shot of Armin opening his eyes is a reference to a matching shot in season 1 and tells us what's going to happen with the roof scene. This guy's good.

100% he’s a manga reader who is trying to play at being really smart about what comes next. People did the same stuff with Reiner and Bert. It is way too accurate for just a guess.

They haven't made note of it because it doesn't reveal anything new. The anime had already shown Ymir's flashback which pretty much explicitly confirms the existence of a larger civilisation outside the walls (this is also why I consider said move a bad decision). I'm a bit apprehensive that even the basement reveal won't have quite the impact it had in the manga because of that.

I'm a bit apprehensive that even the basement reveal won't have quite the impact it had in the manga because of that. Ymir's flashback confirmed there is another human civilization behind the walls that knows the secrets of the titans. But this is something that's already a given, someone must have sent Bert and Reiner after all. I wasn't a manga reader until the end of the Season 2, when I was too impatient to read further. When I watched the flashback, I imagined pretty much another isolated city on a similar technological level as Paradiso. The realization that the world isn't a Titan-infested hellhole didn't come until the basement.

Yeah honestly my guess at first, after finishing season 1, was that we would be dealing with evil wizards that live in a podunk village on the other side of the continent or something, not people with airships and such.

Hidden Titan Village was thrown out a lot back in those days. Anyhow, the coffee bit is a curiosity for the audience "oh, it's coffee! guess they don't grow coffee within the walls, maybe RBA came from somewhere rather far away". It's even more minor than when Ymir called the Beast Titan a monkey. Conspiratiorist fucked around with this message at 19:15 on May 14, 2019 |

The basement reveal was so great because it not only revealed that humanity has gone on just fine outside the walls, but also that it just made the situation for the people in the walls worse because it turns out it's not a world of mindless titans that want to eat them but rather a world full of intelligent humans who want them exterminated. It was a whole new level of horrible cruelty that apparently nobody but Eren and the budding nationalist movement was really prepared to even begin to grasp.
