I told you that story so I could tell you this one...
I think I just figured out how the manga will end:
We know the Marleyan's have coffee, right? And the Paradis folk don't because they didn't know what the black tea was.
And we know that Paradis has donuts, right? And Marley doesn't because Annie was unfamiliar with donuts.
Therefore the series will be resolved through the union of donuts and coffee, and the peace treaty will be signed in the first Dunkin Donuts. And there will be enough donuts to feed all the Wall Titans.
This is canon.

From above the Walled city looks like a giant glazed donut. You're right, it's canon. It was staring us in the face all along.

It'd be awesome if they remember Annie's still around in the manga. Heck, it would be fun if the Female Titan holder was eaten by some rando male titan just to see the in-world take on 2019 gender identity politics (which would probably be offensive to current American sensibilities).

The Female Titan has always seemed like a bit of an odd one out to me. Her defining characteristic is really her gender??

It seems like she's just "Attack Titan With Boobs".

I think her unique ability is to call Titans to her, and being a jack of all trades like the Attack Titan.

I've seen people call it The Agile Titan, but the manga has never referred to it as such.
But like, honestly it could be that female secondary sex characteristics appear regardless of who uses it. Ymir's Jaw Titan had no such features, and neither did Dina Fritz or that one cultist who knew Ymir.

Frieda's did though, although I guess you can say that the founding titan does that too? Dunno.

The original picture of the founding Titan had Female features. It's possible that was because Ymir was a woman.

I don't know if it was ever mentioned in the manga or show, but in the game there's an infographic about the forest of tall trees that includes "it's suspected that the geology of the region is what caused the trees to grow so large" and it makes me wonder if the special minerals the world wants from Paradis are going to play into the story any further than "it's why Marley wanted Paradis back."

But I've yet to figure out a better way to spend my time.
I assume that the the absurd geographical features of Paradis is because "the source of all life"/Earth Devil that Ymir came into contact with is there.

I've been taking more screenshots of the dumb poo poo in the game.
Here's Armin being curious about who could possibly be the female titan. In one of the subs, he says "Avenge the guy who rushed to his death!" and one of the manga translations is "The guy who was in a hurry to die really fast has died fast! Avenge him!" and in the game it's similarly some dumb phrasing that nobody recalls being used earlier in the story among the 104th. But then... this...

Not only have I never seen anyone refer to Eren as "Mr. Death Wish" but that failed use of a newline character is hilarious.

This is ... uhh... well.....


This is immediately after you capture Annie, when Pastor Nick's role becomes important.


Despite the game having pretty good and accurate titan representation, I am unsure if you can ever capture or play as titans like this lil guy.


Remember when Sasha goes back to her village and finds a little girl with her family being eaten by a titan? You go and rescue her and escort the little girl to safety. However, without her ODM gear and outfit on, she just looks like she's rushing into Area 51.


And for some weird reason, the little child has to jump when she's entering and exiting a bridge you're crossing. Something messed up with the game's collisions I suspect. Still, though, that's quite the vertical leap for a little kid!


The game is fun!

I caught the very good little boy!

He puts aristocrats into his face.

Om nom!

He wants more food!

He jump VERY high!

But he still get tired. :(


It was kinda random how I got him... placed canonically where you ought to be able to (so he doesn't show up in future cutscenes) but isn't alerted to the player in any way, just sorta in the middle of everything. Catching these rare abnormals is like getting a shiny pokemon or something. I hope there's a guide somewhere so I can eventually catch 'em all!

Nope. It's just a Dynasty Warriors game but instead of giant armies it's a few titans. The "play as a titan" mode is like a 2 minute thing sorta tacked on to the game and hidden off to the side. However, they make it seem like it has some kind of multiplayer mode, but I have never played multiplayer so I don't know how/if it works.

As fun as it is, it's extremely repetitive like a Dynasty Warriors game so I personally don't think the $60 price tag is worth it (I got it for free via a streamer distro site.) However, I do think that if it goes on sale for $40 or less at any point, then it'll be worth it. That's just my own personal value proposition, though. It has a ton of content that would probably take at least 60 hours to get through if you did all of it, if not more than 60, but it's still "find titan, kill titan, upgrade equipment, repeat." If you're into that kind of thing, it makes a great podcast game and is definitely worth full price.

If your gonna pick it up, try to get the final battle version. It’s the game plus the new dlc that came out recently. You can still get the base game and get the dlc upgrade pack for $40 later if you want.

There’s also a season pass (doesn’t include final battle stuff) for like 8 bucks that’ll give you a bunch of mini episodes to play through.

I had gotten like 70 hours outta the game. I’d recommend it but yeah it can get repetitive.

I have to say that the previous 'tease' showing how the paths were connected, when Kruger has some memories of Eren (Mikasa, Armin...), being a clue we couldn't decipher until now was pretty cool. It was a clue, to show how instead of seeing something from the future, Eren could be seen by someone from the past.
This chapter also explains the change of personality in Eren in the timeskip, he saw 'the future' when he kissed Historia's hand.

I wouldn't have guessed a timeloop plot, at least not based on Grisha's actions. So are we going to see when Eren eats Grisha?


Time traveling Eren:
"Dad... hold the door."
"Ok Eren, I'm holding the door"
"Hold the door"
"Holddoor"
"Hodor"
Freshly titanized Eren shuts his dad up with a gulp.


I can't remember, is there a reason Eren couldn't use the founding power via contact with Historia? Or has she simply been kept away from him like Zeke?
