Legends die but anime is forever.

RIP The Lost Otakus.

I think I missed a chapter, where did Zeke go?

He disappeared after Eren freed Ymir and the Rumbling began. There was a single panel during Eren's paths broadcast where you can see him lying face down in the dirt.

Presumably, he's with Eren.

Outside of the usual locations, Crunchyroll is the official publisher of the digital version. You can read it on their god-awful flash based reader usually around the 2nd week of the month.

Does anyone know how far behind the anime is? I am tempted to quit reading and just watch the ending instead. But I don't want to wait like two years.

Next season will begin with Chapter 91 (start of the Marley arc).

The next season of the anime is the final season and is starting this fall.

Or, well. That was the plan. Unsure how the pandemic will effect the scheduling.

Okay I guess I misread his character. It does make sense that he's crushed by his actions. But what I dislike is that he's still alive, and unredeemed. He needs to either redeem himself, somehow, or commit self righteous suicide and pass his Titan ability to someone who will do something with it instead of mope around pointlessly.
For example, every time the Titan shifters fight and Reiner is present, but :cry::cry::cry::cry: rather than doing something, whether that is to kill Eren/Armin/Levi, recover the Coordinate/Colossal Titan etc. Specifically the scene in Marley with Eren's big surprise attack; Reiner utterly defeated inside that cell really drove home that feeling of, yeah, he's crushed by guilt into inaction. This chapter with Jean finally punching the poo poo out of him over Marco's death didn't feel cathartic; it's been years since that particular event.
What's next for his character?
I want him to finally sack up and sacrifice himself in the final confrontation with Eren in a totally satisfying fashion; barring that have his power given to Falco/Gabi etc. I really don't want the series to end with him a shriveled husk who just couldn't get over himself/ wasn't given justice.

Well, I guess it makes sense that some people would like cliche things, or else they wouldn't be cliche

I told you that story so I could tell you this one...
The path to redemption has been opened to former-child soldier Janissaries Reiner and Annie, but they're still deciding if/how they want to walk it. But there's still a lot of places they can go.
Zeke is a broken man who's beyond any semblance of forgiveness at this point. He'll be fed to Connie's mom.

I don't know how many chapters are left, but we're quickly getting to the point where they either stop Eren or they don't. Either way, that'd wrap up the story.

Threatening the world with the Rumbling but only progressing as far as smashing all of Marley until the combined forces of the world unite to defeat Eren just as planned to ensure that Eldians are free forever is exactly the dumb kinda Leto II poo poo I signed up for. Bonus if Eren and Historia's kid is given to Mikasa to care for and hide his royal ancestry and is given the name Eren II in the last panel of the entire series.

I love that everybody's considering this ending, and the people who want it are making God Emperor of Dune references, versus the people who don't want it making Code Geass references.

Given that we still don't know who's going to animate the last season, this schedule seems very unlikely.

If that happens the kid will 100% be a girl named Ymir.

I haven't been keeping up with the series, but Eren and Historia had a kid?

It's speculation that Eren is the actual father of Historia's baby.

So if the planet is backwards, and Pseudo-Japan's name, Hizuru, still indicates its location in the East, does that mean its in the Americas?

Things are upside down but not reversed. Madagascar (Paradis) is still on the eastern side of the African continent (Marley).

Yeah the planet is vertically mirrored, which is why it can't be our Earth. To make it clearer:

In this map, Africa is to the West of Madagascar, which means India/China/Japan/Australia are all to the East. However, we can assume that everything else about this planet mirrors Earth, right?

So through curiosity I went and looked up what these wall titans are dealing with to get to Japan. Turns out there is plenty of ocean that goes 11km deep between Madagascar and Japan, which is deeper than the tallest mountain on Earth, Everest, which is just under 9km tall. According to the AOTS Wikipedia, the wall titans are likely 50 meters tall. Which means those things must be pretty sturdy to move underwater at any speed (they may be strong but they aren't frictionless,) not have to breath (even though they all seem to scream,) not require light (being inside the walls, blocking light, is what kept them asleep, right?) and withstand however many atmospheres of pressure the ocean pushes on you when you're that deep.

In other words, I don't think the wall titans are actually spreading out from Madagascar in a circle the way some graphic was displaying earlier in the series, but rather they're going to the nearest continent (Africa) and walking over landmasses as efficiently as possible from there. I suspect the ones that reach the north-east tip of Russia are going to take the former land bridge over Alaska. Honestly, I'm betting some smaller islands completely dodged the Rumbling. Hawaii's probably chill.

AoT world is only loosely based on a bizarro upside version of our planet. There's only so much you can read into it. There's a huge climatological difference between Madagascar/South Africa and Europe.

For a start, it doesn't really snow in Madagasacar.

I was kidding, that would look very silly

What I think is that this issue is never going to be addressed, just like is never going to be addressed how they are supposed to deal with big mountains and so on

The rumbling is able to kill all humanity so we just have to assume they can reach everywhere and thats it

Agreed. That map resembles Madagascar and Africa to the degree that a cloud might resemble a horsy or a ducky.
