All of this misses that when she thought that Eren was dead, she realized that there were other things in her life to live for, primarily her responsibility to other members of the Scouting Legion.

Even when Eren is taken later, her despair is no longer hers alone, and that's what is pointed out to her and the others- Eren had become the Legion's #1 priority, so they're going after him.

Yeah that's a good point, because that's her acting out of her sense duty to others rather than Eren. Wow I never really thought of that. It's kind of a bummer that Mikasa already seems done with her character development. But I'm sure they'll be more at some point.

Well, Jean still has a huge crush on her. That could go somewhere. And she still has a ~mysterious past~ with regards to her birth family.

Come to think of it, Isayama does seem to like his love triangles. Offhand:

Jean --> Mikasa --> Eren
Bertholt --> Annie --> Eren
Reiner --> Christa <--> Ymir

I can only recognize Eiichiro Oda (One Piece) Eren, Kishimoto (Naruto) Mikasa, Toriyama (Dragon Ball) Annie, Hara (Fist of the North Star) Reiner, and Araki (JoJo's) Erwin. Never mind.

With the combination of JoJo and Titan, we should be glad he didn't just turn into a fine mist. I'd say the same of Reiner, but actually I'm waiting on him to get a Titan horse to ride and conquer on.

e: Granted, losing an arm would have been part of Jowin's plan because his stand, Welcome to the Machine, allows him to take control of anything a part of his body has entered.

Well, Mikasa thinks she likes Eren. I know that Annie at least thinks of Armin as a friend, what with him seeing through her cold exterior and her not killing him and all. I can't recall if it goes beyond that.

Eren likes killing Titans. Sasha, of course, likes potatoes.

Armin evidently likes Niccolo Machiavelli.

Well, I certanly do not remember any great demonstration of love for Eren from Annie, but I have a lovely memory, so you might be right.

At the same time, I do remember several times when she showed a lot of respect and affection for Armin, to the point of endangering her mission because of it.

This is by far the best part of that image. Jojo and FOTNS-style is great and all, but Armin being turned into the widdlest demon king is perfect.

Armin is definitely the MVP of this chapter.

Finding just the right words to throw your enemies off balance in the middle of a hellish battle (while, as a bonus, also confirming that Armored, Colossal and Female are comrades, which, if I'm not mistaken, wasn't 100% clear yet), he's a clutch player for the Recon Corps.

Armin's probably the one who benefited the most from his Trost experience. He's learned to perform under pressure, to put it mildly.


Armin is probably the MVP of the entire series. He is pretty consistently the reason why everyone isn't already dead yet.

I'm actually really liking Jean as a character, his progression is really nice and not as sinister as Armin's. There's going to be a point where Armin makes the calculated decision to walk away from something and everyone's going to call him a fucker because I think he's taking a blacker road than Irwin.

The captions read (to my half-assed Japanese), top to bottom:

"This is the published, just-right 'Sicko Armin' face"

"This is the pre-revision, over-the-top 'Sicko Armin' face"

"What am I gonna do with this 'Sicko Armin' face?"


I actually agree with the decision to redraw his face. The original is just a bit too over the top, it crosses the line into farce. The published version is a bit more restrained, which makes it just the right amount of creepy.

Well, keep in mind he already tried to hand over his CO2 tank to Mikasa in Trost so the more valuable soldier could escape. He's more likely to get himself killed to make some plan work than to sacrifice another person.

To add to this, he also volunteered to stay behind and let Jean and Reiner get away on horses, when he had no reason to believe he'd be saved by Christa anytime soon. It's possible he might go down Erwin's path, but I doubt it - he's more likely to forge his own, IMO.

I don't read/watch One Piece, but doesn't Luffy basically sail around and have adventures? Sounds like the person Eren wanted to be.

Mikasa has the whole Uchiha overpowered prodigy thing going on, but I don't think this series is capable of their level of pure bullshit.

Finally caught up with the Manga, and it is good, but i really hope the series tones down the powercreep, i really don't want this to become where everyone turns into a titan. I found the show engaging because it was about humanity trying its hardest to survive, and overcome monsters that dwarf them.



I really don't want this to turn into a manga about a plucky band of human titans, fighting other titans.

- I didn't expect Bert to become to big titan, i barely even knew who he was as a character until right before he transformed. He also looks nothing like it.
- I didn't expect Ryener to become the armoured titan, i thought it was going to be Jean due to the matching hair cut/colour.
- What is up with the furry titan?

Can anyone explain what was the deal with the canned herring, that Jean was shocked that Ymir can read that writing?

It was Reiner, and the language is implied to be so old/extinct that nobody of that age group from within the walls can read it, hinting that Ymir isn't quite what she seems.

This is the manga thread, so you don't need to spoiler things that happened 5 - 10 chapters ago.
