Didn't Eren handle himself against Reiner pretty well last time, barring Reiner's armour? Eren has hardening power now too, so that might change things.
He'll probably do better than last time, but he went in and out of Titan form to seal those walls a couple times so he's not in primo condition.

Wait a sec... did he really do that more than once? I thought they were showing the same hardened "statue" from both sides of the wall, since on one side we see its face and on the other side its back... ?

As cool as that sequence was, my initial reaction to it was "Yeah no, Reiner is totally not going out that fast. And to Levi, no less." Anyhew, time to cue up the music and watch the throwdown unfold.

I guess I was confused with Armin's comment about "waiting for Eren to become exhausted after using his titan powers" and having that text on a panel of Eren breaking out. That probably was just a flashback image though.

I really really want to see another mma grappling match between these two, last time Eren was right on the verge of snapping Reiner's joints apart and breaking his neck off, until Bert belly flopped on his rear end.

idk what they're gonna do about Donkey Kong though, that guy is loving yoked.

I liked the start of the chapter with Armin. The sense of stress and panic was palpable as more and more time passed with nothing happening. It might just be me, but I was really impressed with how well things have been built up for nothing to be so ominous.

Armin getting a command on the spot was also pretty cool. I've always liked his character, even if it has always been kind of a blatant nerd fantasy, and this chapter rewarded him for all of that.

Wait, where are Monkey Trouble and his titans attacking from, inside of Shiganshina, outside of the walls, or inside of wall wall Maria but outside of the inner wall separating Shiganshina from Maria proper?


Also wow. Monkey Trouble has a nice rear end.

Yeah, the panel seemed to indicate he had something hiding. I was thinking about the serum, but Erwin gave it to Levi, he doesn't have it anymore, it has to be another thing?

GreenBuckanneer posted:

I think so. In fact at first the scene was confusing, I thought MT and his titans were on the outside part of the outer wall, in the "wild", but no, they were all in human form hiding inside the human area, in fact the Legion passed nearby when they were on horse before reaching the first wall, but as humans they could hide easily (MT knowing he can turn them on titans on will). So they have the enemy on their backs now, cutting their retreat path.
Let's remember too there are two broken wall gates they have to fix, the inner gate (broken by Reiner charging in) and the outer gate (broken by Bert's foot). They passed the first one but they didn't close it, they wanted to do first the outer gate and second the inner gate, to leave their retreat path open just in case of bad stuff. MT throw the rock from behind to the inner gate, leaving debris that cut off horse's usage for the Legion if they want to retreat.

Is it just me or is Reiner in more modern clothes there?

Also Erwin was looking at the stabilizer on his arm. It's a newly added thing all the Scouts have. Not sure what it does yet. Probably has something to do with the "Spear" they kept talking about.

I'm guessing Magilla Gorilla can turn Titans back to human form as well as into Titans? Otherwise, yeah, I dunno how he got enough people to just spontaneously create a small army like that.

Yeah actually i'm confused to. Someone care to point me to the proper chapter? Aside from that I liked the chapter a lot. Monkey Trouble looks scary as all hell :stare:

Also this last chapter was the first one I read on crunchyroll and its ~~~beautiful~~~. Time to Cough Up Dollars.

More important this means Reiner and Berthold come from a place where they do have coffee, so its probably also an advanced city/county with agriculture and industry. It also reminded me about that food can that Reiner (was it Reiner? I dont reall precisely who it was) could read

Yeah it was Reiner and it was red herring iirc.

Ymir was the one who read the labels. Reiner then points out that the labels are written in a foreign langage and asks how Ymir is able to read it. It's probably safe to say that he was lying about being unable to read them himself though.

In chapter 70, Marlo is excited and talking about how they're going to beat the titans and "The titans are like paper before the might of that spear." and in chapter 72 when everyone is freaking out about the meat one of the new recruits says to another "You're no good with the spear. It's not like you'll be doing anything."

So one of the new weapons they have is a "spear". It probably has something to do with the stabilizers on their arms. Eren even was talking about how they've been using his titan body to develop weapons.

They probably found a way to fire gas-powered spears made from his titan flesh that can pierce their necks.

This makes a lot of sense, while Eren was practicing his hardening they probably realized that they could fashion weapons out of the material he creates. Perhaps he even purposefully used his hardening ability into some kind of molds that they built or something. Reiner is gonna get hosed up pretty bad if they have weapons capable of piercing his armor.

If Reiner doesn't have any new abilities and Eren can control his armor like Annie then he'll probably gently caress him up by himself. If his own armor lets him damage titan armor then Reiner is screwed. I imagine though the plan is to try to defeat Reiner and Berthold without using Eren, to save him for the Beast Titan.

It would be a neat change of pace if Eren finally stepped up and just absolutely laid out the beast Titan, instead of choking and getting hosed up.

Eren stepped up last time he had to fight Reiner and figure out how to not get hosed on the fly. A 50 meter tall rear end in a top hat on fire dropping in isn't exactly fair
