Reminds me of the video showing how much of a head start you could give a human sprinter in a 100m dash before a cheetah would catch up. For a guy who's been playing 4d chess this whole time Zeke sure does make a lot of "miscalculations" I really do feel though like Isayama is setting it up so that Eren and Zeke are trying to follow the correct course of action in terms of saving Paradis, otherwise so much of the tension being created is meaningless.

So Is Zeke just trying to force Paradis hand into activating the Founding Titan and destroying the rest of the world, or is he intentionally trying to make them seem like as much of a threat as possible so that everyone else joins forces to take them out, with Marley emerging dominant? It's probably the former, since even though he's a total bastard, Zeke has plenty of reasons to hate Marley. But you never know with him.'

I think that exactly what Zeke wants is probably neither of those, though I'd lean towards the former rather than the latter. Marley seemed completely in the dark as to his betrayal given the candid nature of the discussion between Magath and Pieck so if it's a plan to make Marley dominant then Zeke is flying solo for some reason (I guess he could be paranoid about being double crossed by spies?). I'm glad that Levi survived but all the Paradis higher ups deserve what is happening seeing as they KNOW the ENTIRE world declared war against them and they have done literally nothing for 6 months.

Maybe this is just rampant speculation but, we're seeing "paths" in action again, right? Not just Levi's crew getting turned, but the other people who've drunk the wine felt that moment too when Zeke screamed. Which looks to include Pixis, the Garrison, MPs, but not Hanji or Mikasa/Armin/etc. But also it seemed like, right before Levi came to kick rear end his, that Zeke was talking to Eren? Or at him, if we're going the "Eren's being controlled" route, which... I could see, since this seems like a jump up in anyone's demonstrated ability to use the paths so far.

True, but how far away are they all from him? I thought he was being kept well away from ... is Pixis in the capital? Either way, it seemed a really long distance, but I also admit to having no sense of distance or scale

He transformed all the ones close to him (which are the ones he needed) but everyone that's been marked also felt it. Seems pretty simple to grasp.

And we saw something similar when Eren activated the coordinate by punching the smiling titan, and Reiner, Bert and Ymir all felt it.

I think I remember reading somewhere that monthly comics are labeled as the next month for some reason. So what we just read was the "February" release and the "March" release will be next month. Also I was really hoping that Levi would just kill him and royally gently caress up the plan. If Eren comes strolling along and says "I stopped you from killing him because you're my mind slave" and it's not refuted I'm gonna lose it. I already don't like this "just put some Zeke blood in some wine and everyone's mind controlled" plot that's happening.

It does seem like people are under some kind of influence to follow Eren/Zeke's orders, but the spinal fluid wine only makes them titanizable. It just feels like it can too easily be abused at this point to flip a situation on its head in a way that feels unearned. Isayama at least established that certain people haven't drunk it yet.

AradoBalanga posted:To quote a famous poet, "It was at that moment that Zeke realized....he hosed up." This chapter goes to show that just because you can play 8th dimensional hyper chess against your opponent, it doesn't always mean you should. It's more that while Zeke is playing 8th dimensional hyperchess, his opponent just stabbed a sword through the gameboard

I think the situation Zeke is running into is a bit of a micro version of the problem Marley is facing in the world at large, in that people are figuring out how to fight Titans and developing the techniques and technology to do it. It's also a difference of overall attitude. Zeke and his friends have spent years killing their enemies, while the Survey Corps folks have spent years sacrificing their comrades. Reiner may not have underestimated Levi the way Zeke did.

Zeke seems to be pretty good at predicting what people in general will do (see his little soliloquies at the Battle of Shinigasha and this chapter about how the people of Paradise would turn to ethnic supremacy populism and how the world's governments will react militarily to the Liberio assault), but his ability to read specific people is rather hit or miss. He can play Eren and Yelena like a fiddle, but this is twice now he has profoundly misread Levi's character and paid a dire price for it. And his thinking of Gabi and Falco as being beneath consideration is probably going to bite him in the rear end too. Which is perfectly in keeping with his "ideas first, people distant second" mindset. Kinda reminds me of Mr. House in Fallout: New Vegas: he's good at predicting most of what will happen on a global level, but the tiny details he screws up on can cost him big time. One thing's for sure as of this chapter now, though: the possibility that this war ends in peace for both sides is now impossible. Either Paradise unleashes the Rumbling and exterminates the world, or they get delayed long enough for the world's invasion fleet to bombard Paradise into rubble. Either way, the Eldian/non-Eldian blood feud is going to end very conclusively, and I can't wait for the second and final battle of World War Titan.

He didn't misread Levi; he expected Levi would hesitate in killing his own subordinates, which would give the plan an extra edge. Zeke knew not to underestimate what Levi was capable of after the battle at Shiganshina, hence that and the over two dozen fast-type abnormals ordered to zero in on him before he was even past the shock of the sudden transformations. He was aiming for every little advantage he could get. And it was a good plan. He totally had him, just as he wanted, and Levi did hesitate. But it wasn't enough. Trying to taunt Levi at the end was sheer panic and desperation.

Guys, I think Grisha might've been a bad parent. I don't think neither Zeke or Levi are dead. Looks like Levi's arm might've been blown up and he is gonna land in to river, and Zeke still has his upper body intact.
