Cuchulain posted:That's not even remotely true, Shaved-head idiot guy was killed be the traitor, for starters. He's alive when they come back to the city after the scouting trip. I was thinking about doing a scouting legion costume last Halloween since I think this manga is awesome, so I read it a stupid number of times to get references. It does benefit from a re-read, it especially helps you figure out who everyone is. But anyway, here's a thing from volume 6 with the top 10 in their recruiting class (minus Eren, plus Armin). All these people are still alive except Marco (the X gives it away). Also alive is Christa's nameless freckled friend.  Next chapter should be out within the next few days.

If its anything like the titans we've seen so far, it will retain its eye shape and pupil color.

Who knows then? Maybe's it's Jean, he's a douchebag and has the same haircut as the Armor Titan. Probably not though.

Cuchulain posted:Any theories on who the Armored titan is? I thought it might be Shaved-head idiot guys, but he's a little... dead, now. It seems like it's most likely to be Reiner Braun, the guy Annie picked up but didn't kill in titan form. He has the same resemblance thing going on and there are a lot of incidents in the manga where he and Annie seem particularly close or 'in the know'. One thing I missed that was just pointed out to me is Annie's stance here is a titan fighting stance: she's covering the back of her neck. I really like how the author bookmarks this sort of thing.

I'd like to point out and praise the cover art for this chapter. Mikasa has a slim, lithe, but still muscular body appropriate for the kind of training she's been put through. She looks like an MMA fighter, which is more than I can say for many other depictions of "tough" women in manga and other media. EDIT: Also, purple exercise clothes are cool as gently caress.

I love how Eren Titan always seems powered by pure rage. His Titan form's got a perpetual apoplectic face and every movement he makes seems done with every possible ounce of energy available. Also, Jesus that was one hell of an upper cut.

The armored titan attacked the first wall while they were all kids. He is also best friends with the guy with black hair whom he joined the military with since they were kids. Black hair guy would have to be a titan as well. I like the theory Zorak posted a while back. Schwarzwald posted:This is such an incredibly subtle detail. This manga is awesome with the foreshadowing, I didn't even see that one.

hackbunny posted:And she was trained in it by her father. What the hell is going on, and for how long has it been going on? Well assuming all the specialized titans are people "in the know" from the Inner City then we can assume they are behind the entire thing for as long as specialized titans have been a factor. We still know next to nothing about how this all started or why but it seems a plausible guess that it was originally part of some man-made catastrophe or war, and then as the world changed and people adapted to being a lower rung on the food chain then those in power decided to covertly use the titans to keep the population in order and control the city to their own liking in a way democratic rule or pure military force couldn't. Phew! Pankratos posted:I'd like to point out and praise the cover art for this chapter. Mikasa has a slim, lithe, but still muscular body appropriate for the kind of training she's been put through.

She looks like an MMA fighter, which is more than I can say for many other depictions of "tough" women in manga and other media. If you haven't seen it check out Teppuu which is about female MMA fighters and everyone looks capable and of the appropriate body types, the author seems to be really interested in the sport as well and his depictions start out alright but only improve as the manga progresses. As a fun bonus the main character would be the hero's antagonist in any other series so it's a fun twist on the sports genre in general. It even has its own thread. Back to Advance of the Giants: When the chapter started I was practically talking to the screen saying "get her in that tunnel! Get her down there now! Ooooh fucckk  . Although in the end it might not have mattered in the slightest, considering how Eren just burst the hell out of the ground to uppercut her at the end.Oh, you can also buy a scary mask based on the manga now.  http://www.narinari.com/Nd/20120417726.html

Yeah, I know about Teppu. It's a great manga. Now that Eren fully acknowledges Annie is the female titan, I wonder if he can manage to use his higher brain functions to strategize during the fight like Annie is able to do or if he's just gonna keep hulking out.

Because I really cant understand waht´s happening there, apart from Mikasa. What the hell with that girl wearing a bikini with a flower in her mouth? The angry kids at bottom?

The angry kids at bottom? They're yet to be revealed characters in the volume. It was at risk of getting cancelled so the author introduced the bikini girl for fanservice and the little critter up top for cute factor. It's the front page of the magazine it's released in dummy. Those are random characters from other manga also in the magazine.

They know you have to have a clear idea in your head of your goal to be able to transform, so why didn't anyone clobber Annie over the head to muddle her thoughts?

I'm a bit confused. Did Eren transforming in the tunnel shut down the theory about needing sunlight to transform? Or was he able to because of some light filtering down through the hole Annie made?
