This chapter felt like it didn't live up to all the build-up. I like how it was laid out, but the coup itself felt a bit anti-climactic.

Aren't the author's political beliefs kinda hosed up? Somehow I think a military takeover is something he's projecting he actually wants and isn't just for crazy meat mecha land

heh. In all seriousness though, they're obviously about to take out Eren's nape and feed it to Historia

BUT WHY HER?!

Kenny's actually probably about to cut the poo poo out if him because his loving name's Kenny the Ripper.

Which is rather non-threatening because his name is loving KENNY.

While a military coup might seem like a terrible thing in general, when the fictional military is filled with all the cool characters and the fictional government is a bunch of corrupt greedy cloak and dagger shitbirds, it's pretty justified. See also: LoGH.

Plus, it's a monarchy. gently caress them!

If it was a military coup of a freely elected democratic government, and also not in a situation where humanity is on the brink of extinction, you might be on to something.

The government is the closest thing I've ever seen to the platonic ideal of a fascist regime and the plot is almost literally about fascism. I am 99% certain it is a deliberate examination, though there might be aspects of projection in there. No way to know for sure until the story resolves itself.

Historia is remarkably okay with eating Eren and taking his commander powers.

Fair enough. Her heart wasn't totally in with the Recon corps. If other characters can constantly shift allegiances, so can she.

:lol: That is completely amazing.

I don't really "miss the Titans," I just miss the pacing. If you just look a little earlier in the thread, around the time of the reveal of the armored and colossal titans' identities, I think I was griping that the action was JUST TOO FAST PACED but now that the actual plot is progressing (sorta) and the author's need for the Titans in an explicit capacity is much more measured - we're already reading, now he gets to tell the story, and I'm missing shenanigans atop the wall after all.

Speculation: I think the king might be Gorilla Grod - he doesn't know poo poo about what's going on, but the ruling faction obviously knows what's up with the titans and all that poo poo; maybe he took a walk one evening? Though why he'd capriciously turn a whole village into titans is weird, but all we know about both Magilla Gorilla and the King is literally that they can speak just fine and don't know what's going on in folks' day-to-day. If we had more context for the King's personality maybe this would be incongruous (or not, who knows, he's had all of like one line so far), but as it is, there's not much to go from so I choose wild speculation!

Not to mention, her dad's finally giving her the parental love she's always been deprived of, seeing how her mother always wished she would gently caress off and die and her grandparents didn't want much to do with her either. That could also wean her loyalties (whatever they were) away from the Survey Corps and towards Lod Reiss' faction.

I'm not sure what makes you think she's okay with whatever they're about to do to Eren. All we have to go on is a single drawing of her standing around, looking... something. Her face could be anything from appalled to scared to bored, given Isayama's artistic skills. The hands suggest a fidgety nervousness, though, which I certainly don't take as her being okay with the situation. We'll see soon enough I guess.

Her heart isn't with the Recon Corps; its with Ymir. Hmm...maybe that is the reason she is willing to have some Eren burger. Someone may have told her that becoming a titan or whatever will happen will bring her closer to Ymir.

I don't mean i gathered his beliefs based on reading the chapter. I recall he had some messed up statements about how Japan liberated China and Korea, or something like that. I mean, this chapter was perfectly justified, I just hope it doesn't become his personal political belief soapbox down the road or anything.

She is at most reluctant. That's pretty drat okay with eating Eren. Historia and Eren are comrades, they are at most friends, but there is no kind of deep bond between the two. If she was not okay with it, she would be actively trying to resist. Mikasa would have tried to shank Kenny and hold Reiss hostage long ago.

Eren is on an alter and Historia's backstory has shades of her being groomed for some sort of titan ritual. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gSY0oMEnkBk/UvWWDhHngrI/AAAAAAAAFSs/cnxySEYARUA/005.png?imgmax=3000

I don't know if she'll devour him or if it's the other way around but something is going on there.

The Recon corps have been desperately running around searching for Eren because they believe that he is going to be fed to someone to pass on his titan powers. And suddenly, we have a shot of Eren and Historia, one is bound, the other is free.
