It's a relatively niche title of a niche genre (horror graphic novel) that has blown up to into a ratings curve destroying cross media behemoth.

It took me forever to understand that. You have to pronounce it in some Frenchie way, like you would "Versailles." It's like the world's most obnoxious "East Asians pronounce 'R' and 'L' the same" joke, except done utterly seriously.

Levi's name in Japanese is リヴァイ. Versailles in Japanese is ベルサイユ. リヴァイ doesn't seem to have a ユ at the end of it, so I doubt it's meant to be French or something.

edit: Oh hell, is Chapter 58 out?

This is from the SnK wiki page for Ymir's story. I was reading through it and I saw this section

quote:

An epilogue reveals that she survived the battle, and fled with the traitors to the ruins of the Shiganshina District. There, she berates herself for her foolish actions. When questioned about her actions, she states that she knows that Reiner and Bertolt cannot return to their homeland empty handed, and offers herself as a prisoner. Reiner attempts to let her go, but she refuses this kindness and states that she is tired. Bertolt asks why she saved his life, and she responds by expressing her gratitude to them since their actions led to her regaining human form. She claims to be the only one capable of understanding their circumstances, further expressing sympathy as they are "the same" and unable to do anything on their own. Thinking of Historia, she smiles and states that playing "Goddess" isn't so bad, referencing the girl's selfless reputation.

Can anyone link me this part of the story? I can't find the pages anywhere.

Translated Chapter 58, enjoy.

If Jean was going to die this chapter, it wouldn't have been ambiguous. Mikasa killed the soldier or was the injured one. It's kind of a shame too because I think Jean's death here would be a powerful moment. It would serve as a lesson to the rest of the cast that every first squad they don't kill endangers all of them. Connie and Sasha would gain the will to kill. Jean's death here would be great, because he really would die for (his) humanity.

Now what's going to happen is Jean will be willing to kill after seeing the possible consequences.

Holy poo poo, the setting's going all Wild West on us, love it.

It looks like Armin's actually pulling a gun from his coat, so I'm thinking it's he that blew her brains out, not Mikasa cutting her down. Which I'm way cool with, if only because none of the characters would expect Armin to do that.

loving hell what a loving action paced chapter.

Yeah, looking close. Armin is definitely going into his jacket to reach for a gun. Just look at that reaction shot, Armin looks like he's going to murder that person. That is the scary thing about Armin. He thinks two steps ahead. This is probably the only manga that makes me think oh god someone is going to die. Levi had way too many close moments where he almost got hit. Goddamn Levi just really shows you shouldn't gently caress with him.

Well...

Considering this manga does enjoy showing us the result of why certain things happen. For example, the whole suspect ion of Annie being a titan, we got a flash back chapter to Armin talking to everyone he had a theory who the female titan was. I won't be surprised, once things cool down we get a flash back of Levi giving Armin a pistol because he knows Armin can at least keep his cool during situations like this.

As Shindragon said, Armin had that flare gun when the confrontation with Annie started. Now he's just upgraded. He probably carries a pistol around these days now that they're on the lam.

Edit: Levi is probably going to chew out Jean over this next chapter now that he sees first hand one of the possible consequences of remaining a pacifist.

Well....that escalated quickly. Yeah, I'm in the "Armin just busted a cap in a mofo's face" crowd, now that it was pointed out. Out of all the cast, he's the one who's really changed a lot from the start. Who'd have thought the wimpy nerd grows into the unhinged strategist? poo poo, by the end of the manga, Armin is going to be Anime David Xanatos if he keeps up this pace. However, the Kenny/Levi dynamic stood out a bit more for me. It almost feels like a mentor/student or two friends relationship, rather than a parent/child relationship.

And yeah, holy poo poo. Action packed as all hell. For all of his skill, Kenny seems to garner little respect from his Men in Black colleagues.
