could've swore this type of insufferable weeb disappeared in the mid 00's

They never went away, they just gradually retreated to their own circles (like nerd forums) rather than being so mainstream anyone you could pull off the street would go on about how kawaii their new Pokemon plushies are.

Can't wait for Eren to take control of the wall titans and mop up the the hidden village team. It'd be an epic climax if we see them in action the one chapter then hear their explanation in the basement after.

I tend to read the speedscan if it's out before CR and then read the CR one for quality reasons just to avoid getting spoiled like I have on a few chapters before.

This one was hype as gently caress. A surprising amount happened in a single chapter, and the artwork has gotten REMARKABLY better. The author's still really good at kinetic energy in his fights, this one might just outclass Eren vs Annie in terms of sheer momentum in every attack.

This is a huge part of why I love attack on titan

The titans just do whatever the gently caress they want when attacking. Skipping, rolling, trotting, business gunning, dragging, to be a titan is to be able to truly express yourself!

There is something visceral and wrong about Luggage Titan. They can only crawl on all fours so here is an intelligent person who is being used like a bird dog, or pack animal.

Yeah, so far I had been working under the assumption that the guys outside were also living in a poo poo world but had adapted to it by focusing on powers rather than walls. I hadn't considered that maybe their entire society might be based on using titans as tools. Maybe at some point in the future the Captains of Industry decided that paying wages was for suckers and it's much more efficient to turn workers into a literally fungible resource.

It makes sense if there is some sort of weird farming system going on where the people in the walled cities are made into slave titans for the Ape and shifter titans. The nobility would most likely be in on the scheme.

Next chapter Reiner will just reveal he's been training to beat Eren and owns him, in order to complete the "advantage see-saw" that must exist in all shounen battle manga. (Fortunately I'm doubting this will happen; I'm actually not sure how this battle will end up, since killing Reiner removes the possibility of him talking about him/Bertholt's situation more in the future, but if they don't kill him he's going to cause them a ton of problems in this fight.)

Im guessing Reiner alone will lose/almost lose and then Berthold will come out of nowhere. But this time he will just be beaten too. The real boss in this fight will be Monkey Trouble

How do you beat Bert? Even with the new weapons, whatever they are, it seems almost impossible. Just the heat makes it hard to get close to him.

In It For The Tank

But I've yet to figure out a better way to spend my time.
Wait him out. Bertolt has a lot of power but not a lot of speed and not a lot of mobility. He's good for kicking down the Wall and not much else it seems. When the Survey Corps cornered Bertolt on the top of Wall Rose, he was only able to turtle up and emit steam to keep them away, not actually attack them. Earlier, when Bertolt attacked Trost, Eren was able to withstand his steam and actually get close to his nape so it's not a perfect defense. Bertolt's transformation also seems to be tremendously draining because (if I remember right) he had to rely on Reiner to protect him when they were trying to escape with Eren because he couldn't transform again so soon.

Bertolt's Colossal Titan is good for devastating and decisive attacks but in a drawn out battle I think he loses.

I'm thinking Reiner switches sides at some point during this battle. He was conflicted about killing Erwin and had to remind himself to focus on his mission.

While this would be interesting, I have to imagine that it would be a "changes sides and immediately sacrifices himself to help Eren and company" situation, since there's no way anyone would be able to have him around after all the folks he's killed (both from breaking and walls and more recently, like when he stabbed that dude before turning into a Titan last chapter).

I think it's honestly building up for Eren to not forgive Reiner, Berthold, or Annie but at the very least understand them and realize they don't have to be enemies. It will probably be that moment that they switch sides. From their perspective they seemed pretty desperate in their reason to knock down the walls. The death of Eren's family was collateral damage in that act.

How do you beat Bert?

Wait him out. His defense doesn't last forever and burns away at his titan. If the thunder spears are rockets or something then that too will probably gently caress him up.

I don't get the vibe that he was conflicted on killing him. Erwin plays it cool as gently caress and isn't scared. Reiner probably just figured it'd be a waste of his time to kill Erwin besides the fact that he might not be able to, as Erwin could just keep moving away from him. The scene where they were staring at each other for a moment was probably just put there for contrast and to show that Reiner still has respect for Erwin and acknowledges his prowess in these situations.

Erwin is a stone cold badass, I thought that was a great scene. I don't think it had anything to do with Reiner not wanting to kill him, just that he didn't have the time and Erwin knew it.
