Lmao at how quickly Levi took down Zeke. The literal instant he got the chance he took it.

This chapter makes me think Zeke is actually in league with Paradise as some people were predicting in previous chapters. It could be translation shenanigans, but his line about them running out of time coming immediately before he just gets iced by Levi is odd. It makes me think they had some plan based around Zeke getting caught and "killed" by paradise as a cover for him joining their side. It would explain his complicity in letting Reiner and Falco meet up with Eren, and the strong hinting at his contact with Eren w.r.t the baseball glove. Also it's weird that Armin just transformed over in the water, I could've sworn the lights they were setting up were for him to dive bomb into the city and transform bert-style

Perhaps the lights are there to guide that final Titan into the city.

Zeke used the distraction of Armin's transformation to escape his body and Levi faked his death. The stopwatch, the ambiguity of the "It's you!" line, Zeke's lousy throws, the lack of a reaction shot from Zeke when Levi cut him down leads me to think it's a con.

Big  at Zeke telling Galliard to keep calm and fight rationally, and Galliard immediately losing his cool, breaking formation, and giving Levi the kill.

Yeah, it does seems like Zeke is up to something Also in my understanding Armin tranformed there to gently caress up the port and Marley navy

Do we know how long Shifters can stay in the Crystal Form? I know with Annie they covered her up and supposedly she went "Dormant" or something. Is it like suspended animation, do we know anything about it?

Perhaps I missed something, but can someone explain to me what possible motivation Zeke could have for helping the Paradis folk? He's been practically the main villain for a while now, and although they've significantly humanized him, I'm not sure why he would have a heel-face turn. I think Reiner and Annie are more likely candidates for that.

It's not totally clear what his motivation would be, but there are a lot of indicators that he's not fully loyal to Marley. The biggest being that Marley doesn't know he has royal blood, but Zeke for sure knows this about himself. This is revealed close to the beginning of the Marley arc when Zeke is talking to Colt about his "secret" and it's clear that Marley has no explanation for the weird extra powers that Zeke has with the beast titan that no other holders previously displayed. Some people have speculated that he was actually convinced to give up his parents by Eren Kruger as both a way to cement Marley's belief in Zeke's loyalty, and as a way to get Grisha on Paradise. It would explain why he's never given up his knowledge of his royal blood and would lend more to the idea that Zeke has actually been a pro-Eldian force from the inside all along. What the goal here is unclear, but it's also not clear what Paradise is hoping to accomplish by attacking at this point in the story either, so it's certainly possible that we're missing some more info.

Yeah. As I said, Zeke turning on Marley (and working with Eren) is entirely plausible, with lots of indications to that effect dispersed throughout this arc. My only doubt is that if he's working with the Walldians, then why is he doing the whole charade with being attacked and seemingly killed by Levi? He could've just turned on his fellow warriors and easily tipped the balance of the fight by taking out Porco or Pieck before they knew what was happening, and grant the scouts and easy victory... Ah, nevermind, of course. He could also just job the fight, that way the Scouts win and disengage with their objective accomplished (massive damage to Marley's chain of command and military forces, captured the Warhammer Titan), and he gets to stay in his position as an inside man. That'd be loving brilliant.

SnotGrumble posted:Is everyone forgetting how Zeke basically killed 90% of the scouting legion right before they got to the basement? That definitely raises some questions but it doesn't prohibit him from having a different long term goal. Remember that Kruger was objectively on the side of the Eldians but also admitted to killing thousands of Eldians to keep his cover, what would make Zeke any different? I think his original mission to paradise is the thing that's the most unclear w.r.t what Zeke actually hopes to accomplish. He seemed intent on capturing Eren -- but did he intend to turn Eren over to Marley in that case, or use him for another plan? Basically characters in this story do questionable poo poo all the time for the sake of a greater cause, so one act doesn't preclude his loyalty to another side.

He didn't kill the scouting force and capture Eren. So now that Eren is here he helps them out. I'm guessing he is serving the landbound Eldian people, and the paradisian's are the most direct route now, while in the past capturing Eren would have been his most direct route. Side note: how the gently caress is everyone talking to each other in Titan form? I didn't think they could talk besides monkeytrouble. But here everyone is acting like they are piloting a meatsuit mech with walking talkies. Donkringel fucked around with this message at 22:46 on Mar 7, 2018 |

Cart was shown to talk in return to shinganshina, Beast has been talking since the first time he showed up, I think warhammer was talking in one of the previous chapters. Ymir was able to talk very coarsely as the jaw titan. None of the other titans have shown the ability to speak, so it's either something that requires some serious training to perform, or it's limited to certain shifters.

Jaw titan guy popped his main body out in order to talk. Presumably most of the shifters can talk(with enough training), it's probably only Attack, Female, and Colossal without vocal chords. Maybe Warhammer but they might be able to make artificial ones. RatHat fucked around with this message at 01:52 on Mar 8, 2018 |

I loved that, one second he was alive leading the marley shifters and then the next panel he just gets instantly killed in the background. Very cathartic seeing Levi get his revenge so efficiently.
