It's possible that Eren didn't have to consume anyone to become a titan, maybe his Father just injected him with titan shifter blood and that was enough to change him.

Agreed. All of this discussion of eating seems to have forgotten that snipped of Eren's father measuring out an injection of some sort.

Spoiler: The needle Eren's father injected him with was full of LSD. There are no titans.

It looks like Attack on Titan got extended. Originally Isayama talked about wanting to end the story in 20 volumes. Which would mean we're about 22-23 chapters away from an ending.

http://www.christianpost.com/news/a...4-years-125296/

quote:

In relation to the manga, the University of Tokyo Newspaper recently conducted an interview with "Attack on Titan" manga editor Shintaro Kawakubo. The talk revealed that the writers already had a "clear picture" of AOT's story arches, characters, mysteries and plot development.

With that in mind, Kawakubo disclosed that it will probably take three to four years for the hit series to finally close its curtains.

"The serialization is slated to end in three to four years, but 'Attack on Titan' is a work that will be passed down from generation to generation for a decade -- no, five decades," Kawabuko said further, suggesting that fans will see more continuation or spin-offs of the series even if the main story will be concluded that time.

A recent interview from his editor, it looks like they're going beyond the 20 volume if it's slated to end in 3 to 4 years. I was honestly really worried the story would wrap up too quickly.

That sounds about right. It doesn't feel like we're anywhere close to an ending; there's just too much to resolve for the story to end that soon.

Is that Eren they've got chained there? Are they getting ready for some kind of "Eren gets devoured by Lod Reiss or something" ceremony? :stare:

Yeah, at first I was like oh poo poo, they got Levi but then given Historia's presence, it would probably be Eren

Also what's this about Wall Rose getting breached again?

Alright there are a lot of questions here so I'm gonna clear them up.

Chapter 61 spoilers. If you wanna wait until tomorrow to see the actual pages please do so.

Erwin pulls off his :master: and exposes the government.

The girl in the picture is saying "Wall Rose has fallen!". The royals order the Sina gates shut to refugees as Reiss will solve the problem. They make it clear they don't care about the people outside of Wall Sina in full view of the military leadership. This is a ruse by Erwin and Pixis, there isn't actually an attack, it's just to prove to the military they care more about their little world than the people in the walls. Nile is the first to abandon them.

The Trost press gives their exposé on the central military police clearing the Scouts and exposing the fact Reiss is the real king.

The military united under Darius Zacklay deposes the king. Darius is the new leader of humanity within the walls.

Hanji, Marlo, and Hitch deliver the news to Squad Levi that they are no longer fugitives and a letter from Erwin giving possible whereabouts to where Eren is. "Let's end this."

The last pages are Ackerman reading a newspaper, Eren chained to some sort of alter.

Wow, I really thought Erwin was going to bite it after the ending to the last chapter. So ever since Pixis "refused" his coalition offer, it turns out he's been playing one really long 11th dimensional chess game this whole time.

Yeah his posture wasn't someone deep in thought. A crown with a troubled brow. He was literally just sleeping his way through events. Now that's a proper puppet-king.

During Erwin's faked wall breach announcement, I legitimately thought Isayama had pulled that trigger. It was the logical absolute worst moment for it to happen, so I was sure poo poo was going down. Of course, now I expect that Wall Rose really did get breached, and news of it will be laughed off as a joke at first.

Man. Erwin and Pixis played the hell out of everyone, and good on them for not seizing direct power themselves. Military legitimacy and authority seems to have been retained.

My guess is he's gonna try to transfer Eren's power to his daughter. Kenny playing with a knife, it might be something that can be cut out of Eren.


I just realized too that Erwin spells it out that he wants to go on the offensive against the Titan-shifters. If they manage to stop Reiss they'll have a clear shot at the basement with a united military.

No. George didn't know about the maneuver gear, something Reiss couldn't possibly not know about.

:wookie: is clearly the King. The reason he doesn't remember what 3d maneuvering gear is, is that he is super drunk, like, all the time. He just squats in that throne medicating his hangover with hair of the dog.

Everything. Is. Fine.
For gently caress's sake, guys. The Monkey Titan is not anyone from within the walls unless he's like, been absolutely secluded from society his entire life. Why would he lie about not knowing what 3D Maneuver Gear was to the sniffy guy when he had every intention of killing him afterwards?
