I do wonder if they made Bert kinda go all in with it instead of how he acted before so there wasn't more morally grey stuff with leaving him to die.

AtheistMantis posted:Now that I think of it, was Bert's special ability his size? What if it was actually the ability to produce immense heat, and his size was just a thing unique to him. Then tiny Armin titan has the ability to turn into a fireball. And the survey corps just learned about the concept of baseball. What a twist! Aren't all the Titans inside the wall Colossal Titans?

Lamebot posted:So I'm guessing when they reach the basement that we're going to get a reveal that Mikasa is officially super special too with medical logs and journals from her checkups with Grisha. With Armin getting The Power this seems like the way its gonna go down. She may not be a titan but no child should be able to crush a knife handle like she did. Actually, I'm betting the reveal regarding her is going to be that Grisha was behind the plot to kill Mikasa's parents. He knew that Ackermann genes + Asian ninja clan = something awesome, so he arranged it so he could become her foster father. Maybe with the aim of experimenting on her. Don't gotta spoil speculation by the way. And are we ever going to see what Mikasa's tattoo is? It's been so long it feels like the author forgot about it.

He knew that Ackermann genes + Asian ninja clan = something awesome, so he arranged it so he could become her foster father. Maybe with the aim of experimenting on her. If this were the case, it isn't hard to guess what the "something awesome" with Mikasa is, or why Grisha would want to experiment on her. She's the product of two genealogies that were immune to the King's memory erasure. Grisha couldn't have been content at removing the current king, or he would have killed the king far sooner. He further wants to prevent any future titan shifters from gaining the memory-altering ability and taking control of humankind in the same manner. Mikasa's genetics might be the key at developing a transferable immunity. It's actually possible that Grisha has already done this, and that while working as a doctor he was secretly inoculating his patients from memory erasure. Alternatively, assuming that the memory-altering ability is somehow linked to the coordinator ability, he might actually want to inoculate the titans, and that the ultimate purpose to studying Mikasa is to prevent titans from being controlled. Given that Grisha was originally from the titan shifters that opposed the King, and that the goal of those titan shifters is to seize control of the coordinator ability, the latter situation might be the more likely.

I'm wondering how exactly are they going to train Armin to use his powers. Unlike Eren, Armin's powers will probably stop anyone like Hanji from being around and directing him. I'm also guessing that he wont be as large as Bert, since Bert was around 6'0'' at least in his human form and titan forms probably reflect some of the user's natural physique.

Then why was Ymir's titan relatively small considering she was fairly tall herself I don't think that poo poo matters too much, there's probably just random traits, Annie is short and her titan was as tall as Eren's

It's funny how all of humanity, and really all of the world we know of in the AoT universe is this walled off haven surrounded by huge forests and titans like what if inventors like Grisha just focused on steam/combustion engine modes of transportation and booked it instead of making anti-titan spiderman weapons  nah but really there's potentially so much poo poo but nobody can get anywhere, loving basement's been eluding the recon corps for like 80 chapters lmao HoneyBoy fucked around with this message at 00:12 on Aug 12, 2016 |

I just marathoned this over the past few days. It was good since I didn't have to wait on anything. The manga's nearing the end of its run soonishly, right? EvilTaytoMan posted:So when will Mikasa get Titanised? I figured this was inevitable and was shocked they didn't find a way to inject Mikasa at the expense of both Erwin and Armin. Her human form is already worth a dozen titans, though. I've really come to dislike her as a character. BTW what's this thread's spoiler policy? Didn't see it in the OP.

The author has said he's changed his plans for the series a lot, so it might not end at 20 volumes or whatever it was like he initially said He also might be tempted by the cash cow devil

Pretty tough to tell the people who gave you your first break "I'm going to end you now." Not to mention all the other mangaka running in that magazine.

I thought her flaw was the thing where she doesn't live for herself or humanity she just lives for Eren? Although that may be different now. I always really liked the fact that she can't reach him when they need to move the boulder but Armin can, because whilst Eren is the most important thing in her life Armin gave Eren his original dream and is arguably the most important thing after killing titans to Eren.

Reiner is so strong he got overpowered by Eren and needed his 100ft friend to drop on top of him to save him Then he later gets dropped by Mikasa even faster Strength doesn't matter when you explain it to people and don't actually show it, Reiner hasn't been threatening since he first appeared and wrecked Zhiganshina. He also would've gotten mulched by Mikasa when she attacked him if Isayama wasn't like "Oh they've been friends for 3 years" despite the fact Reiner and Mikasa literally never interacted before that moment.

I'm still tight about the fact that Eren was literally about to CRACK REINER IN HALF using titan MMA and it would've been the sickest most brutal poo poo ever before Bert belly flopped and ruined it I like those 1v1 evenly matched titan fights better than Levi turning into a Beyblade or Gorilla Grodd throwing shotgun pellets In It For The Tank posted:That's because they were her friends for thrre years and she couldn't secure the kill because their pained faces threw her off. this sounds retarded by the way, Mikasa has shown, or rather it's been made a point of multiple times, that she's willing to throw her and other people's lives away for Eren, why would she hesitate for these fuckwads though? It's inconsistent I guess and that's lame.

It's inconsistent I guess and that's lame. I'm struggling to think of an occasion when she actually said something like this (that she'll kill anyone to save Eren) but my impression from it is that saying something so callous and actually being that callous are two different things, especially when the people she needs to kill were her trusted friends. I mean, it's easy to try to intimidate someone you hate (I'm guessing she said it to someone like Levi) but another to decapitate two people you've known for several years.

MeLKoR posted:She didn't seem to have a problem trying to gently caress Annie up. She'd had a few days to come to terms with it as the Recon Corps returned from beyond the walls and formulated the plan to capture Annie. Mikasa had to attack Reiner and Bertolt like a minute after she found out they were shifters, when all she'd had before then were Hange's suspicions. Plus, when she attacked Annie, Annie was transformed into a titan. She had to attack Reiner and Bertolt while staring into their agonized and shocked human faces. Mikasa and Annie also never liked each other, while at least Reiner was popular and well liked by everyone because he was like a big brother.
