Did Historia kill the Rod Titan off-panel or did that happen in the last chapter? That plot jump threw me of.

^^^ I somehow totally missed that because of how Rod's blended into the background. I guess took the whole 'this world is ending' talk to be more metaphorical foreshadowing of the titans breaching the walls than anything that's going to happen in the near-term to our current cast. It did happen some time in the past, prior to the breach, in the flashback. I mean, really, the entire comic has been about their world ending and their attempts to stop it thus far.

Why don't they feed Annie to Connie's mom?

Now that you mention it, I hope that option is discussed. I like Connie and want good things to happen to him.

I mean, I guess it's not impossible they sent someone out to capture her to experiment with, but more likely they just killed her off.

Maybe along with the massive porn stash, that's obviously going to be there, there will be a bunch of Titan Shifter serum that Grisha had brewed up in the basement. He might've had access to that power the whole time but once the wall got hosed over he couldn't go back to get more. The answer is to make everyone a shifter. It's probably just the porn and like a diary or some lab notes though.

Up until this chapter, I thought the basement would be filled with titan serum notes, yeah, but since Levi got his hands on some juice that is probably going straight into the lab, it can't be just that.

So exactly how many walls were there in the past? 'Cause I'm thinking with all this mind wiping going on there is nothing to guarantee us that there were always only 3 walls, for all we know the titan wranglers are descendants of people that were left to die in the past and there are several outer broken walls. It's not like anyone has gone very far from base.

It's got something to do with the first king and letting Eren access all the knowledge his disposal I think.

Eh. With the mind wiping, nothing is certain, so if the idea that there might have been more walls isn't based on anything more than that, it doesn't really carry much meaning. For all we know the humans of the world are all actually robots and they just think they're not because ~mind powers~.

that might fly if there weren't literally people who were immune to mind powers.

Cthulhuchan posted:that might fly if there weren't literally people who were immune to mind powers. Yes, and they are hunted down and killed so they keep their mouth shut if they know what's good for them. Besides, what would they say to the other people? "There is a 4th wall that only I know about because an evil wizard made you forget"? It's pretty much Dark City at that point, you're all alone in a world were people have no control over their memories and if the powers that be find out you're immune you're hosed. Anyway, what got me started on this speculation is that from the conversations with Kenny the king didn't come off as evil but as a fatalist. Maybe it's not that everyone that gets injected has his/her mind taken over by the king, maybe it's just that when they get injected and learn The TruthTM they realize out utterly and irretrievably hosed the situation is outside the walls and how silly their dreams of "killing all titans" were. There is no salvation, humanity is going to die. The only thing the king can do is provide the population with as good a life as he can before it inevitably all comes crashing down. It's just best they don't know.

A fourth wall you say? Will our heroes break through it and discover they are just a big Truman Show / Most Dangerous Game bullshit in some future utopia?

I think it will be something like this. I speculated a while back that there would be a Claymore style reveal about the nature of the world. (The wall people are isolated, and kept ignorant as a mercy, because their only purpose is to make and perfect shifter Titans as weapons for the rest of the world.)

T.G. Xarbala posted:The thing about a story that relies on character deaths to get people's attention is that, for the people who only paid attention to the story because of those deaths, it has to keep on killing people off in order to keep their attention. So either you either create a character treadmill and constantly introduce, get acquainted with, then kill off named characters (Gantz was designed to be this, also trash) or you inevitably disappoint the people who don't care and just want to see blood.

The first time the interior MPs showed up, they were terrifying. People just as fast as the Scouts, and possibly even more maneuverable, and armed with guns. The Scouts lost dozens of people in that ambush, and Levi got away by the skin of his teeth. The problem with the Interior MPs was the followthrough. While they were excellent at suppressing unarmed humans, they fell apart as soon as the Scouts fought back. While the Scouts were never trained to fight other humans, they were veterans against the Titans, and were flexible on both the offence and defence.

You know, I was thinking Kenny's pose from a few chapters back looked familiar...

When Kenny is talking about what motivates people at the end of the last chapter, on the 'children' panel, the women looks like the former queen and the child looks like Eren. Maybe Eren is half Riess and half Ackrermann, which is why he wasn't indoctrinated when given the power but can still control the power. It explains how she knew Eren, and Eren's dad and the former queen planned from the start for Eren's dad to kill her and the rest of her family because they knew once she took the power she would psychologically change and thier son, Eren, was the only way to break the cycle.
