The official translation is up but Crunchyroll screwed up the order of the pages. It barely makes sense at all. I think Armin's not pulling a pistol - he's pulling his 3d gear handle out of it's shoulder holster. He's going to mimic Levi's grappling hook attack right into the mook's neck. This chapter is going to be phenomenal when they animate it.

I was able to get the gist of what was happening, but there are quite a few sections that are out of order and make some sense but not a lot.  Guess I'll look what page is where in the fan translation, and wait from them to fix it on Crunchyroll before I read it again.Personally, I'm in the "Jean is probably dead" camp. I hope you guys' speculation is right and he isn't, but that last panel where there's a ton of blood and his hat goes flying...

Man, this series. I don't think Jean's dead - Armin sporting the AoT universe equivalent of a Derringer would not surprise me. Also, Jean's story arc isn't done. His entire character is learning the necessity of heartlessness in warfare, and he hasn't really shown that yet. He'll do something heroic/inhumane in the endgame. I read Levi/Kenny's relationship as brothers. Maybe/probably not biological, but definitely as peers. Are we to believe Kenny is really dead? Seems a waste to introduce him and take him out in such a short span. And for Levi to kill him in such an offhanded, indirect way. Anybody know how many chapters has it been since we've seen a Titan?

It's just so cheesy and wonderful, while at the same time giving some insight into Kenny's character. Plus, you know, Tetsurō Araki, and his flair for cheesy over the top-ness.

This is the first chapter I've had to wait for since I discovered Attack On Titan. Levi shooting his 3DMG into people's chests, then pull them towards him as a human shield? Yes please.  I look forward to the monthly agonizing speculation.

Lamebot posted:so when will we find out why the 3 stone cold killers in this series share the same surname? It's doubtful Levi is related to Kenny- but Mikasa likely is. My guess is Kenny took Levi under his wing and raised him like a son, and gave him his surname. After their relationship broke down Levi just went by his first name, and hasn't been using his given surname. Of course this presents a major problem because by now Levi knows Mikasa's surname and in a series that has excellent foreshadowing and people not having to act like idiots or out of character to move the plot along it's extremely bad. But who knows Isayama seems to be a good enough writer to understand that and has something planned to make it believable. Speculation time: What if the people hired to kidnap Mikasa and her mother were sent by Kenny? quote:Probably around the same time we find out what's in the basement. Actually I bet Levi is going to give his backstory in the next few chapters. If not the next, the one after that. Nelson Mandingo fucked around with this message at 13:14 on Jun 11, 2014 |

It's "official" only in the sense that Isayama said he doesn't care if it gets made and published, but it was also made clear that nothing that happens in it is canon. And, in fact, very likely is the opposite of whatever really happened entirely to avoid any legal issues.

This was also a problem around the time of the Ymir name reveal, which shocked Levi and Hange. Apparently they didn't take the time to look down the 21-name-long list of recruits they'd been hanging around the last couple months. In this case, though, I bet Levi was aware of it but did not find it worth bringing up.

Hey, if a third of your recruits are gonna die when you go outside the wall not much point in learning their names.

He probably thought it was a coincidence, since Mikasa showed no sign of any connection to Kenny. I'd like it if it turned out that Ackerman is just a common surname and Mikasa and Kenny are unrelated, simply because it would be nice change from the PLOT TWIST we all know is coming. But I highly doubt that will happen.

That and nobody was really under suspicion until after Annie killed Sean and Bean. It's believable to me that Zoe and Levi didn't look up or get to know her name. She was in a different unit after all. It could be easily explained as an innocent oversight. Mikasa's last name however has a very important history with Levi, and it's simply beyond my suspension of disbelief he doesn't know it yet when she's been so integral to the Scouts. http://www.mangasky.com/Attack_on_Titan/30/13/ Is probably the closest he's come to having a revealing reaction.

You joke, but I don't think Marlo's righteous speech and later thoughts about changing the system were just for show. The military police is bigger than Kenny and his murdering squad.

I find it remarkable that Isayama managed to make this chapter more intense than anything prior to it. I feel that way, at least. I'm sure this has everything to do with the fact that Levi is my favorite character.

The quality of the art in the manga is noticeably mid-tier, but going through this thread I guess the author-artist has been improving since the start. I wish this story would be over already so I can find out what happens, I have a feeling it won't end for another 5 years.
