The next page for that has a lot more meaning given what we know now, I should really re-read this from the start.

I thought it was confirmed as a mistranslation, since that part of the speech bubble didn't connect to Reiner, implying that it was Ymir who said it.

Using google translate my totally real multilingual skills, the other translations on batodo seem to agree with the English version, all four agree that Reiner is talking. The Portuguese and Spanish seem to say pretty much the same thing as the English, though interestingly the Italian version seems to agree with Vincent and the Turkish goes the other way (though I wouldn't put much stake in that, google doesn't seem to be very good at Turkish).

'course I could just be talking out of my rear end. Someone who has the raws and knows Japanese or the official translation (which I don't think is this far yet) could probably solve this...

Oh yeah, I remember that scene now. And since I binged through the manga, I was a bit confused since there it's hinted he's gay, but recent stuff suggests he's straight. I like your idea that it's part of his split personality thing.

Obviously Reiner's into dudes when he's human, and a ladies' man when he's a titan! :v:

I'd give you good odds that those other translations are translations of the English script, not the raw. But, anyway, this is the page in question:



Kind of a lovely raw, but that looks like "驚いたな... 女に興味があるようには見えなかつたんだが......"

Which, uh, I think is more or less what it's been translated as, but doesn't have anything that would indicate who's speaking it to who. Note also that the other bubble on the page without a flicky bit is definitely Reiner's, speaking from off-panel.

Yeah, I suspected that as a possibility too. It would be considerably easier to find Europeans who can translate from English than from Japanese.

I've seen a number of people speculating that the Female Titan is Armin's mom or Eren's mom, despite the anime making things quite a bit more obvious. My question is, were those two possibilities floated around when the manga was at those chapters? I missed out on most of the discussions for the manga because I marathoned it right before the first episode aired. Reading it all so fast didn't leave me a lot of time for speculation so I didn't even put any thought into her identity before getting to the reveal chapter.

Looking at this page, it's pretty obvious the first bubble in that panel is Ymir. If you missed the detail that one has a tail and the other doesn't, I can see how you might attribute both lines to Reiner, though, as there's no explicit clues in the line itself and it sort of works either way.

On a slightly different topic,




Images for an upcoming webgame based on the series. I've had no real luck tracking down further information on it, sadly. The outfits alone give me the impression it's going to be either some fantasy-inspired game, or a weird alternate universe game. Or these images are just simple alternate outfits for characters that you can unlock/buy in-game/will be DLC.

There's also a 3DS game coming out as well from Chunsoft. Haven't been able to find out any information on the 3DS game beyond who's making it.

That would have nothing to do with whether or not Reiner is attracted to women or women's asses. Annie's rear end is nice. This is an objective fact. You don't have to be attracted to somebody to compliment their features.

Right, but generally a guy wont say a guy has a nice rear end even if he does because he isn't looking nor cares (in terms of heteronormativity)

If I see a dude with a nice rear end, rare though that is, I don't have much issue complimenting it. Usually if a dude's got a nice rear end he's pretty fit in general, and the compliment is less sexual and more "dude, you must work out like crazy" and acknowledgement of his efforts.

Or at least that's what I tell myself as they're stomping my skull into the curb.

Ah yes, that. It was this. He was asked to help promote a new romance manga by drawing a little advertisement illustration on the dust jacket. Apparently the author was a friend of his.





EDIT:

Some fanart someone drew of the titans.

With an expression like that, I can see Mikasa being a highly successful idol...Entirely because everyone would be terrified of what she'd do to them if they didn't support her career.

Thanks.

Been re-reading the manga looking for interesting stuff that has had its context changed, much like everyone else in the thread. Noticed early in chapter 38 when Connie is crying over losing his village how Reiner comforts him and almost looks ready to cry himself. Meanwhile Bert is of course just standing there staring at them with a single sweatdrop. I'm sure someone's already cataloged all the weird Reiner/Bert moments, including this scene, and this doesn't really tell us anything new, but it is just another instance of Reiner's weird internal conflicts and Bert's "What the hell, Reiner?" faces. Looking for this stuff is almost as fun as reading new chapter.

Reading the old discussions in this thread from the older chapters is pretty entertaining, too. Sucks I missed out on fresh discussion of a lot of the big moments. Thankfully I don't think we're ever going to run out of "What the gently caress?" moments with this series.

Edit: And just a few pages later Reiner is really upset and incredibly insistent about Connie just being delusional about that titan at his house talking and looking familiar. Maybe Reiner has seen "failed" Titan conversions before?

It's pretty clear in retrospect that he (and a few pages later Ymir) was trying to prevent Connie from investigating this titan.

It was even clear at the time. I just assumed that it was all part of trying to keep Connie from breaking down in the middle of a potentially dangerous situation. When Reiner pulled Eren aside I assumed it would be to let him in on the fact that the titans came from inside the wall and that they should broach the topic to their commanders discreetly to help keep it from Connie. It made what he actually said even more shocking.

So, for some reason I was thinking about the "romantic relations" between main characters.

We know that:

- both Reiner and Ymir likes Christa (who probably likes Ymir)

- Jean loves Mikasa, who loves Eren

- Bethold loves Annie, who (I think) loves Armin

Sasha should pair up with Connie, I guess.

They were just nobody pawns when they were ordered to attack on Wall Maria. Ymir said it herself, that Eren was just wasting his rage on them. I think with Bert having a breakdown, it means they can be converted to join the scout legion's side.
