Did Eren eat Gaillard before Reiner attacked or did Reiner save him? I can't tell from the panels.

This chapter owned on so many levels Most of what I could say already has been said by others, but man, Willie and Magath's plan to MMGA is off to a smashing start, isn't it? Two of their titans lost, with perhaps the most powerful one falling into the hands (or rather jaws, pun fully intended) of their greatest enemy, the commander of their titan corps is dead in the best case scenario and working with the enemy unbeknownst to them in the worst, almost entire top brass of their military went splat, what I presume to be a non-insignificant part of their navy got Armin'd, the power behind the throne was decapitated, and it turns out that Eldians might not be as alone as it seemed. The one positive for them I can think of is that Gaillard can now fully sympathize with Pieck's and Reiner's PTSD, cause holy crap, I don't think anyone in this manga has ever eaten as much poo poo as he has. Can you imagine how much it has to sting knowing that the absolutely only, solitary reason that you're still alive is that your enemy has put using you as a means to taking what might be the greatest asset available to your country for himself over ending your sorry life there and then? I kind of hope that the next time Eren pops up he ends up immediately owning Gaillard using WHT's power, just to drive the point home. On the other hand, I am now almost ready to admit that Reiner's suffered enough and that he might deserve a break now. Still only almost and only might, mind. Also, the look on WHT's face right before she went CRACK was priceless. Isayama might not be the best artist out there but drat if his expressions aren't brilliant.

Manatee Cannon posted:that scene is now directly behind levi's windmill for scenes I want to see animated Seeing this entire arc animated is going to kick absolute rear end. It looks like at least one of the countries with diplomats present at Willy's speech is actually in league with the Paradis Eldians. It's possible that the acquisition of Marleyan technology from all the battleships they captured allowed the Paradis Eldians to initiate diplomatic contact with some other countries before invading Marley. The airship also gives them a good way of extracting Zeke post-betrayal, assuming that's what actually happens. They toss him onto the ship and everyone in Marley just assumes that his body was blown up by Levi. It's hard to tell exactly what the endgame is here though. It looks like Eren is interesting in acquiring as many titan powers as possible, but that could be for a few different reasons. One argument is just to deny the enemy as many titan powers as possible, but he could also be trying to consolidate all 9 powers into one person (Historia?)

Not mine, but this made me laugh pretty hard. Almost everything he did led to the Marleyan's losing some sort of tactical advantage throughout the entire fight.

I'm actually surprised how well Porco did against Eren and Mikasa. He hosed up Eren in close range and was able to evade Mikasa twice until he got distracted by the airship. I thought he was a total pushover but it seems he's actually a pretty powerful shifter: the only problem is he's a total idiot who kept rushing into things and exposing his allies to danger.

I think Grognan may have been asking about whether it's impossible for older people to become shifters, not whether becoming a shifter . I don't think any age limit in the former sense exists, and I don't even remember the possibility being mentioned; Grisha shows that, you don't need to be as young as Reiner and friends were, at least. The Curse of Ymir thing is definitely real, though; Kruger, Grisha, Reiner, and even Eren all seem to have become pretty unhealthy-looking a few years after becoming shifters.

JahRoo posted:Seeing this entire arc animated is going to kick absolute rear end. I ended getting interested and watched the anime finally to see how they animated it, and that made me want to go back and reread a bunch of chapters. Eren thinks that if he consumes royal blood he could control the founding titan in the chapter where Historia gives the scouts medals for defeating the invading titans(he also thinks that he doesn't want to tell anyone because it would seem that he wants to eat Historia). So I think the end game is to eat Zeke or something like that as a finale. I'm not sure if this needs spoilering because its just me speculating.

The endgame is pretty drat obvious to me: Step 1: Reobtain all Shifter abilities Step 2: loving level Marely. The whole drat country and everyone in it. Step 3: Level anyone else who tries to get in their way. Step 4: PRAISE THE ONE TRUE GODDESS YMIR! All Glory to the Neo Eldian Empire, and any surviving non-Eldian filth better be thankful to serve their rightful masters under their merciful poo poo-encrusted bootheels! Hail Queen Historia! May her line reign over the globe for ten thousand years... AND BEYOND! I mean, that may not be what you want, or even what some of the main characters think they want right now... but that's how this is gonna go let's be honest.

snucks posted:Reiner's gonna get covertly offed by Marley, right? It'll be framed as a suicide so his power can be safely transferred to Gabi, but distrust of that narrative will gently caress up morale even further than where it's currently at. We don't know what's the story Margath will get; Reiner might try to shift any blame away from Falco, but the simple fact is they got ambushed by Eren with Reiner getting so hosed up he almost died and was a miracle he managed to pop out a malformed titan to save Galliard at the last moment. It's likely to look like his usual self-sacrificial heroics, as only Falco witnessed how badly Eren got him. Marley also can't afford to give up experienced shifters right now.

Nah, like, we're seeing that even being bisected might not be enough to outright kill a shifter in human form, being shaken up a lot probably wouldn't do it, same with force of smashing the crystal into the ground a bunch, they'd probably still regenerate. Now, turning her into a puree and chug chug chugging the meaty chunks, that's probably enough

If he'd been a little faster Eren would be retreating right now having absorbed the warhammer AND the jaw titan. Like gently caress man, he could've probably chomped Annie while he's at it with the jaw power.

If we look at how far Zeke can throw heavy boulders as a baseline then Eren could probably throw that thing a good couple of miles off the shore. I feel like that would immediately mean game over for the Warhammer titan: the crystal is either porous, which means she drowns, or it isn't, which means she sinks to the bottom and dies of starvation. I don't even think transforming could save her because the weird physiology of titan bodies might interfere with her ability to swim, and the unique properties of the Warhammer titan would just create a tethered chord to get tangled in while trying to resurface. Not to mention how the underwater pressure and or decompression sickness might screw with her ability to save herself. I hope it's revealed that that is what the Paradisans did to Annie because they couldn't crack the crystal. Just sailed out into the middle of the sea and kicked her crystal overboard.

So uhhhh Who was the black guy? Are other countries selling the Paradisians zeppelin technology? I assume the Asian woman was in on it too. Willy knew he'd get assassinated on that stage, and others in the audience would die too. I just think he assumed a few gunmen would shoot some people and toss some firebombs, and not, you know, behead the entire Marleyan military and kill the nation's shadow-ruler.

Yeah it looks like one or more foreign nations are assisting the Paradisians. I don't recall there being any black people inside the walls, and it seems unlikely they went from having no aviation at all to having militarized zeppelins in only four years. Note that the pilot has a different uniform and doesn't bear the insignia of the Survey Corps. That would be pretty great if Marley is so hated for using Titans for the last hundred years that some of their enemies were willing to ally with the Paradise Eldians to take them down. As for Tybur he totally knew there was going to be a bloodbath at the stage presentation, including the loss of the military brass. He even told Magath that he would get to reform the military in the aftermath. Mountaineer fucked around with this message at 07:41 on Apr 5, 2018 |
