poo poo, at this rate they may actually be planning to fit the Battle of Liberio Arc in this season. If so, they better drat well have the Linked Horizon fascist OP for that.

Sasha dying being the season finale would be loving hysterical, I'm giddy just thinking about the internet meltdown afterwards.

Dunno if they'll reach Liberio but 24 episodes seems more than enough to reach the ocean at the current pace. Maybe they'll add in scenes of RBA's version of events during the Shiganshina arc. Idk Ocean just feels like the perfect season finale.

Yeah, it'll be the ocean.

The reason things have been accelerated and reshuffled is to follow the format of the previous seasons: in the manga this arc had a slow start that gradually ramped up tension till the secret police made their move, but here they started with a bang so that they can then take a moment to slow down and analyze the situation and develop the mystery. Next episode will be flashbacks of Historia's and Erwin's backstories for that purpose.

Compressing things now should also leave room to fully present Grisha's journal as its own short story arc at the tail end.

Yeah I think we’re going to get to the basement and get his flashback and the origin of the smiling titan. I think we might get some flashbacks with RBA during the fight at the wall, probably around where Bert gets eaten.

I'm not the one who wrote the story where the hero decides the only acceptable course of action to protect an encircled ethnic nation from a hostile world is to actually for-real nuke the rest of said world rather than just threaten to.

Ah, so all this time Attack on Titan was an allegory for North Korea, and not World War II Japan / Germany / whatever your mind tells you.

Un, I am entrusting you with my final mission, you and not anyone else. The hatred I saw in your eyes that day, I was once that way too. The Chinese saved me just before my home burned down, after that I swore my revenge to America and to restore Korea. But really that involved killing and starving my compatriots who needed protecting. I have killed thousands of subjects of the Democratic People. The main reason I chose you wasn't your hatred, but its because you launched that missile that day. You sought freedom and your brothers and sisters paid the price for it. There's only one way to pay them back.

Dude in the anime thread hating on the conspiracy/revolution arc. I don’t understand it. Titans are terrifying, but humans going after our heroes can be just as scary and more difficult to deal with.

He’s going to be very disappointed with the next season I bet.

He did explain that only reason he came to AoT was flesh-mech action:

It's not that it's bad at the moment. It's just different from what I was looking forward to.

I can understand being let down by being promised titan wrestlemania action for 2 seasons, and then getting human sized coup thriller.

And that is also exactly what manga readers were complaining trough this whole arc when it was released.

Now that the anime has made 2 jokes about potato girl having really good hunter hearing (none of which I remember seeing in the manga) you'd think she could've heard that bullet coming.

I got kind of annoyed because it felt like the founding titan power to wipe memories was a little too magical/hand-wavy for me -- but then I got over it.

I forgot almost all the faces in the manga during this and it kinda blurred together because it was so slow but it really added alot. And it made all the titular things so much better when they came back. Looking at the gifs in the anime thread and I can't hope but wonder was he really trying to kill his sister's son,his nephew in that moment? The animation looks good.

But I've yet to figure out a better way to spend my time.
Eren did nothing wrong. The 104th are giving up on him too quickly. I love this development though of the "band breaking up".

I suspect that Eren was the one who tipped off Historia and also got her pregnant. The farmhand is a red herring/cover story to protect them both: Historia was already pregnant, hence her expression when meeting the farmhand. I suppose this is dependent on them having a reliable means of detecting a pregnancy, although they could also have done the deed and just hoped for the best.

I can't help but giggle at the idea of Eren and Historia trying to bone but every time they touch Eren has crazy memory flashbacks because he's touching royal blood. Or even better, somehow trigger the coordinate on accident at a crucial time and erase everyone's memories + make them have a spontaneous orgasm on the spot

Hey, someone suggested Eren boned a royal, I had questions and that's how I chose to express them v:shobon:v

He's always having weird things happen when he touches royalty, so what if it's a bad touch???

Eren being the dad over some random mook is inconsequential to the story and is the least bad reason for why Historia is in her situation right now so I don't hold much faith in that actually being true. On the other hand Eren is kicking the bucket in 5 years so maybe that's enough pathos for Isayama to work with and the final panel of the manga being Mikasa carrying a black haired baby standing in the rubble of Paradis island with the war over and all her friends dead saying "Let's go, Eren."
