It'd be pretty funny if the Ackerman superpower was just krav maga.

I believe he's referring to how Alia's genetic memories combine with her other psychoses to effectively resurrect the Baron within her to possess her body in Children of Dune.

More precisely, that was the actual Baron Harkonnen's consciousness hijacking Alia, not a simple memory of him. That's because the genetic memory thing was actually their explanation for what turned out to be a deeper, more transcendent psychic phenomenon. One demonstrated when a blind Paul Atreides was able to psychically see through his newborn son's eyes.

Fortunately this is a series where while I like it I really don't care about being spoiled. And I already know the stuff about the worm-hybrid and his multi-millenia master plan etc.

Yeah sorry, but I think Dune spoilers are OK in most contexts.

genericnick posted:Yeah sorry, but I think Dune spoilers are OK in most contexts. I mean, Dune frequently spoils itself, between the pre-chapter epigraphs and the fact that its main characters are prescient. The interesting stuff comes from the way those events play out with the characters on more emotional levels and in regards to the overarching themes of the novels.

I lost interest somewhere in the middle of Heretics, I simply could not bring myself to care about rear end in a top hat space politics anymore once any sort of grounding viewpoint character was gone.

Some early spoilers for chapter 82 are out there. You can check reddit or tumblr for them. This is probably one of the more brutal chapters in the series.

There is a lot of death this chapter from what I can tell from the spoilers I'm seeing. Bert gets pulled out, may or may not be dead? Reiner loving eats it, it seems. Levi and Armin are also getting killed too from what I can gather. Sasha might be biting it too? Idk wtf is happening. I have no idea how legit most of the panels and translations I've been seeing are, but it makes me super excited. Captain Baal fucked around with this message at 19:04 on Jun 6, 2016 |

As best as I can tell from the micro scans: - Armin gets roasted and looks completely dead - Reiner and Bertolt are both defeated and captured - Sasha and Jean are injured, not necessarily fatally - Hange returns, wounded but alive. Armin better be actually dead. I like the character but if he dies and Erwin survives (thanks to the serum)that would actually be a legitimate twist and an interesting plot development. I'm worried that Armin is somehow still alive and will get the serum.

Armin looks as dead as a roasted pig. Which means that Erwin has to live because we need someone to be the strategist

A (relatively low-quality) English scanlation is out on Kissmanga - http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Shingeki-no-Kyojin/Chapter-082?id=276074

Yeah wow, that's a pretty bold move by the author to axe one of the main trio like that. I also genuinely did not expect either bert or ernie to survive, let alone both of them.

You know, all things considered it took a lot longer than I thought it would for this series to get to the point where everyone I liked was dead.

# ? Jun 8, 2016 23:16 |

So uh. Holy poo poo. Well we only have Zeke left as a named antagonist. I wonder if Bert will somehow escape or if the final battle is going to be against a guy that Levi already beat once + mooks.

The only way I can conceive of Armin not dying is if they give him a titan serum. As long as he's not dead that would presumably heal all his wounds when he turned into a titan. I'm kind of not hoping they use that way out, though.

That would have to result in Bert or Ernie being executed in the darkest, most barbaric method in the entire manga up to this point if they wanted to keep him around as a character E: that would result in the most karmic payback imaginable for Marco though so something like that is actually pretty reasonable!

i do like how they managed to call back to the iconic eren vs colossal titan scene at the beginning. this time, fucker, you're not getting away also, considering how much the series liked to fake us out, there is a nonzero chance that serumified armin would take a swing at eren... which may result in berthold getting away

Postponing the final climactic encounter yet again would be a terrible decision.

They're going to give the titan serum to Armin, and he's going to go crazy-titan and eat Bert AND Reiner and become a colossal armored titan with super powered strategy skills on top of it ... it could happen, rite??
