Can someone explain to me wtf that scene with the cart titan lady hugging that dude was all about?

That panel gave me some serious "Reiner gets crushed by the Female Titan" vibes. Pieck running up and hugging the guy let her get close enough to whisper something to him. She might have been suspicious about the person she and Porco were following after quizzing him about the beard (which might be fake) and decided to warn her comrade in a way that wouldn't alert the guard leading them into a trap.

I took it as (and am probably wrong): the Marleyan soldiers are typically shaved, and Jean (if that's Jean), just like Eren has been away from Paradis Island for some time and hasn't had the means to shave? So cart girl notices the beard which is out of place, then probably recognizes the face.

Or it could just simply be he grew it to try and disguise himself, but she saw through it anyway.

They show her chained up on a platform in a fashion very similar to the Reiss sacrifice ceremony, as Porco talks about how he hasn't seen his brother's memories but he has seen hers.

She's dead.

They haven't explicitly shown porco chomping down on ymir. However, they've shown ymir chomping marcel ~10 times so far, and we know porco has his power now. Nothing about the rules established in universe would indicate anything other than porco eating ymir, and i think that would kill her.

If there are Eldian ghettos in other nations, why do the 9 powers only reincarnate in the Marleyan ghetto. :thunk:

The other nations probably keep their Eldians alive just for the chance that one of the shifters dies without getting nom'd so it can reincarnate in their nation. Marley ain't about to let that happen.

Also, how the frig have the titan powers stayed separate for so long? Surely if you're one of the nine titan shifter families you would be all about nom'ing one of the other eight to take their power.

If a family pulled something like that off it seems to me like the kind of thing that would instantly get the remaining seven families to instantly turn on them and destroy them completely. Letting one of the remaining families consume the powers would just exacerbate the situation, so it's possible they'd just let the powers reincarnate and promote some new families to replace the old.

Our maybe they didn't think you can combine powers. Eren's dad did out of desperation and got two titan powers into one.

Seems that way, my friend said he thinks some of the stage actors are the scouting regiment, one looks an awful lot like Levi and another could be Jean maybe. Would possibly explain why all of their faces are obscured or blindfolded.

They don't. Grisha chomped the Attack Titan (from Eren Krueger) and the Founding Titan (from Frida Reiss). Both went to Eren after he ate his father.

We know that Titan-shifters have greatly reduced lives, but my suspicion is that the more Titan powers you have, the shorter your lifespan. This would prevent anyone from controlling all of them for more than a year or two.

eren would have died by now if you had a shorter lifespan from multiple titan powers. remember that he's had both the attack and founding titan for just as long as reiner's had the armor titan

Grisha was in the thirteenth year of his tenure when he had Eren eat him, so your theory doesn't fly.

Actually, Eren got his power two years later than Marley's shifters.

Do we have any idea how long Grisha had the founder's power? I thought he didn't go after it until after the walls were breached, so he wouldn't have had it long enough for it to effect his lifespan.

That said, I doubt having multiple powers would shorten it further. It seems like unnecessary drama for a series with genocide.

Didn't Grisha attack the Reiss family after the shifters attacked? He probably only had the founding titan for as long as it took him to get back to Eren afterwards.

Yeah, I thought the entire reason he wasn't there when his wife died was because he had gone on that trip to go eat the founding titan. Then he came back, turned eren into a titan and got eaten himself.

So... The leaks are coming through. Nothing concrete yet, barely two pages of the raw and a synopsis from a guy who's seena couple more.

There is already some interesting stuff in there, though. First and foremost, remember how we've been wondering if over those four years Eren has perhaps learned how to chill out a bit? Well, this chapter answers that question with a resounding LOL, NOPE, Eren transforms right loving there in the basement and smashes the stage. Falco's and Reiner's fate is currently unknown.

E: Korean raws are out.


HOLY gently caress, EREN. So, the Willy guy probably wasn't the WH titan, because he's now very dead, as are a lot of people who were above Eren when he cool-aid manned out of that builing. And the debris is falling onto the audience at pretty high velocities. Eren's not making any friends right now, that's for sure.

This is probably a premature thing to say since I can't real Hangul, but I'm kinda disappointed. I was hoping we'd get to find out what exactly the gameplan is other than... the obvious part of it.

That being said, the way that he apparently waited for a literal declaration of war before making his move makes has made me relieved in the "Please don't just be doing some harebrained revenge poo poo Eren" department

The first translations are in(typeset in progress) and they seem to be putting what's happening in new light. Seems to me like Eren might be setting himself up as the fall guy. Now that Billy has declared him to be the one true enemy , once he's gone Marley loses their justification for invading Paradis. Or something.
