Re-read it, you're right. He doesn't specifically mention mind control but he does state that memory holing the documentation would still leave oral history untouched.

Yeah, his father suspected because of the inherent contradictions in any of the stories told of the past, and the first generation didn't seem to have information beyond the official story.

Such as if the Fritz family ruled the world for the previous 2000 years, why would humanity have had a horrible war that wiped out a significant portion of the population before the titans attacked? Who was at war with who exactly?

There's an idea. Titans as a tool of The Party to subjugate the proles and keep them in perpetual war.

Annie kind of got in the way of that, then there were titans spotted inside of wall Rose, then Eren got kidnapped, and now they're on the run from the military police. They haven't really had the opportunity to worry about that yet.

It would be really funny if they opened up the basement, only to find stuff like packed boxes from their old house, furniture nobody needs, dad's tools, the baby clothes that grandma keeps giving every year even though the kids aren't babies anymore, workout equipment, and so forth.

I actually stopped reading the manga because I couldn't tell Levi and Eren apart. All the time-jumping-around didn't help me sort it out. It wasn't until the anime that I figured out what the hell was going on.

I'm really hoping whats in the basement is what someone brought up in this thread. Just a library of old books. Maybe with Grisha's diary out about whats going on in an obvious space. Hell I hope with what Sanes said it's a hint that the enemies from outside the walls are the descendents and survivors of a previous generation's survey corps.

Christa's sister/teacher person would wipe her memory after every visit. Erwin's dad also suspected that they did something like that and Erwin said that they most likely did after learning of Eren's new power.

Speaking of which, the book she uses...is it the same one we saw way way back dropped by the survey corpswoman Ymir (but not THAT Ymir)? Its been a while since I read it, think it was back episode 36ish

I may not have much time left, the grease has already spread through my entire body. But I did as I said I would and I went and got myself an Attack on Titan burger.

Not sure why the image is rotated, but whatever.


Okay, they're all landscape, but tilt your head and you'll be fine. Sadly, I did not also get the fries.


It comes with a keychain (they ran out of sword ones [and also wouldn't sell me any without the sets]) and a - I'm not sure what to call it, but basically the burger was never meant to be consumed by humans, so you wrap it in a paper cylinder and I don't know what you do next to get it into your mouth.


The keychain came with a card as well. I got Mikasa.


After great difficulty, I finally got the burger to stand on its own, long enough for a picture even. The layers of grease and cheese made for a great and terrible lubricant, I'm not sure who thought this would be a good idea. And yet, this isn't actually the first time Lotteria has sold one of these. Because I have actually eaten one of these burgers before, last year. When I asked, I learned that apparently three other people had ordered the burger as well at that location.


I think the worst part of it all was the single pickle on top. Like it was mocking me. I guess it's like how Japanese people order salads with their corn pizzas, there has to be some kind of vegetable somewhere, somehow.


It tasted like you imagine it would. I was going to take a few bites and then leave when I had given the workers enough time to suspect that maybe I ate it, but one of them saw me with a quite incomplete burger and decided I needed a fork.


So much grease.

I (and my friend as well) did successfully actually already eat all of the exact same burger last year (maybe it had less / no cheese? My memory of it doesn't include as much difficulty holding it together. I have pictures somewhere.). It just wasn't Titan-themed. Fortunately, it's not a permanent menu item, though I suppose you could theoretically ask them for one whenever. If you really hate yourself. This time I had literally just eaten right across the street and figured once is enough to put myself at serious risk for heart disease. The grease that drips out the back almost caused an onlooker to throw up.
