Levi is back in Stohess, I thought, with a broken arm? Of course, murder wonder Mikasa is here so they're still sunk. At any rate, they're nearly at the basement and if Eren could hold in his rage for five drat minutes, they could work out a plan to get there, as it's looking like Bert at least wants to try to make amends and I doubt Ymir gives a poo poo as long as Christa is safe.

On another note, the Kodansha translation is pretty good. "Colossus Titan" is starting to grow on me.

Colossus Titan being the official translation is... really more perfect than I could have ever asked for.

In a world where one bear has a shotgun: Fuck.

This could take the story in a new direction. Eren will have to free all the wall titans and kill them so the Super Colossus Titan can regain its true form and bring his mother back to life.

I totally just started this game like two days ago and I can't stop calling them titans on accident. Best I can get is when I call them "colossals [sic]."

Speculation (even faux "speculation") is one thing. To outright confirm it is another, especially when you say something like "we know Titannie has reservations about killing her classmates", which makes it unambiguously clear that you are speaking with inside knowledge.

Female titan murdering tons of schmucks with super slick animation is still really drat cool even if you've been spoiled about her identity. The other big spoilers? Probably not so much.

I hope no one in the anime thread is dickish enough to definitively spoil Bert & Ernie (more than has already been done, I mean). As has been discussed before, banning the jerk in question would only confirm that their fun-ruining facts were accurate. Just be nice, people. :(

And know there's a guy posting about Annie and female titan sharing a fighting stance when that hasn't even been revealed in the Anime yet. It's just gotten up to where Eren freezes because he realises that himself and it hasn't been shown to the viewer yet.

^ Eren sparred with Annie before, same stance, same hair. It's fairly easy to spot in the anime.

LightningKnight

Ymir's name hasn't even been mentioned in the anime yet, and she's still pretty much background noise at this point. She's probably been namedropped a couple times somewhere, but she hasn't done anything particularly memorable yet to so I wouldn't worry much. Besides, her significance doesn't even come into play until that bit with the titan mistaking random journal keeping soldier girl for her, so I'd hardly worry. Even if someone went right out and blabbed "Ymir is a titan" in the anime thread, half the users would probably just go, "who?"

At this point there's as much reason to suspect Ymir of being a titan in the anime as there is reason to suspect, like... Hannes or Connie. I think Bertholdt kind of occupies the same status. They're all just background flavor characters at this point. Reiner has had a handful of meaningful interactions with the main crew, so I suppose he could be figured out by shrewd watchers, but the other shifters? Not so much. Colossus Titan (I still love that name :allears:) bears no resemblance to Bertholdt at all save for the extremely subtle sweating and tallness.

Ape Titan is going to be a big :wtf: moment too, considering that there is absolutely no precedence for it whatsoever. (Well, if the anime makes it that far.)

The thing with Ymir is going to depend entirely on how those chapters are translated into the anime and what episodes they fall in. There's absolutely no reason to speculate she's a titan until the can of Red Herring(heh), and if that's in the same episode she transforms in, then it will come as a surprise. If anyone speculates it prior to that they've probably read the manga. If the can reveal happens and then the episode ends without her transforming then she'll probably get called out on it.

Bert entering battle is the best way to save everyone. He goes collossal, makes a steam cloud for the rest of the crew to break out and go human in to try and escape, then fights as best he can to keep their attention. They'd likely keep him alive for information if the others escape.

Everyone in the anime thread has Annie figured out because of the colorization and improved art consistency/lingering camera shots in the anime. That's not at all automatically suspicious.

I'm glad I started reading the manga first and not starting with the anime, I would have given the whole thing a pass, personally the anime is garbage, it's boring, drawn out and poorly animated. I mean the anime is practically just the manga colored and censored, with countless stills everywhere. The real horror will start when the season ends and it becomes non-stop pseudo speculation until most just cave, read the manga and then realize that the rest of the manga was already spoiled. It's a lose-lose situation for anime only watchers.

(Carefully tiptoeing around spoilers :ohdear:)

I'm rereading the Castle Utgard and aftermath arc here during my lunch break, and I see that most of the 104th squad was being held after Eren's trial under the suspicion that there might be more Titans among them. Most of them that is, except for our main trio and Jean. I can see why our main three are trusted, but I really can't find or think of an explanation as to why they trust Jean of all people to not be a Titan. Yeah he's their friend but so was Annie!
