Ackermans (and shifters?) can't be wiped either. So the founding titan might not be an easy fix.

Prediction: If everyone is getting their moment of redemption then Zeke's redemption will be to convince Ymir to, at least temporarily, resist Eren.

It is kind of weird to suggest that a redemptive moment would be for the slaver to convince a freed slave to do a thing

If anyone's earned the right to just go apeshit it's Ymir.

Ethiser posted:Zeke was the one forcing her to do things, Erin gave her a choice and seems to want to set her free from eternal servitude. Sure, but it's not entirely clear the level of awareness that Ymir has about the outside world - is she actually aware that she is aiding Eren to kill literal Billions of people? Would she approve of that? Not to mention that Zeke was lying half exploded on a field when Ymir appeared out of nowhere to save his life - was she commanded to do that by someone else or was that her own will? If it was her will why would she choose to save Zeke if he represents this awful slaver to her?

Schwarzwald posted:She needs Zeke (and his power) alive and available to Erin for him to access and free her. That's what I had thought at first but if she's able to make choices like that on her own it really begs the question of how much of a 'slave' she really was (keep in mind that Historia still lives so Zeke wasn't Ymir's last hope or anything, if she's able to manipulate the 'real' world of her own accord there are certainly other ways she could have brought Eren/the attack titan to her). We've also seen that time doesn't appear to be linear in the paths dimension so it's entirely possible that Eren was the one who had Ymir rescue Zeke.

Wasn't the whole point that it was her slave mindset that made her obey the royal family rather than anything actually binding?

Correct. She'd internalized she was a slave to the royal family.

Eren must devour all of humanity and become The Earth. Only then will he have the power to spread the Titans to the stars.

Thoren posted:Eren must devour all of humanity and become The Earth. Only then will he have the power to spread the Titans to the stars. With the way his titan form looks now, it's not implausible that his rib cage structure could expand to encompass the entire earth or something ridiculous like that. He kind of looks like a giant version of that spine monster that started the Titanizing.

I'm sure it's been posted about to death, but the leadup to and the reveal that Ymir was never actually bound to the royal family and had just internalized that she was is probably my favorite moment in the series. Seeing Zeke get completely and repeatedly blindsided in the Titan Realm was just so satisfying.

Zeke getting completely bodied at his attempts to manipulate a child (again), his attempts to play sixth-dimensional chess (again), and his need to project his own nihilistic worldview onto the rest of his people was so utterly satisfying. His total defeat is so sweet. Eren completely trounces him at his own game and leaves him a completely broken man. Eren's takedown of Zeke related to his belief that he and Eren were perfectly alike is so good. He just crushes everything Zeke believed in.

So I finally got around to watching the 3rd season of the anime and it was pretty good. Weird thought but does the founding titan give the power to look into the future and past instead of the attack titan? Only thinking this because the royalty in the walls would always conform to "peace is the only answer" soon as they would inherit the founding titan. Beefstew posted:Saw this on the subreddit, and all I have to say is: Goddammit, Isayama. Pretty, I'll try to remember this. It fits the cyclic nature of the series to a loving T. I also have complete confidence that the author for the end of this story because they had already released the final frame.  The words in the picture are "You are free". Tenzarin fucked around with this message at 16:04 on Jul 20, 2020 |

The normal process is for people who inherit the nine titans to also access memories from their predecessors, and in the case of the Founding Titan, the "ideology" passed down by the First King of the walls through this connection is akin to a form of brainwashing that its inheritors struggle against but ultimately yield to. Basically, he used the power of the Founding Titan to ensure subsequent Kings would inherit only a chosen pick of the predecessor's memories, in addition to compelling them to follow through on his goals and also restricting their abilities. Remember the Founding Titan has literal mind control powers. OTOH the Attack Titan is different because its inheritors can access memories not only of their predecessors, but also of their successors, which then through the power of the Founder Eren used for effect by forming a causality loop.

Not at all. Levi and Kenny being student/master may be a bit cliche, but it makes total sense for the central government to have a secret anti-human army. 99% of the central MP's job was murdering people trying to learn the secrets of the titans. And Kenny's flashback with Uri owns.

I put a few more episodes in and it definitely fits better when it spreads out more. It's just with the anime, you go from "hey there's an urban legend about a mass murderer" to "it's not a legend" to "hey look there he is" in about a minute. Just felt very forced and thrown at you with no time to react, but it felt better for me after a few more episodes.

His "boom headshot" intro was hilarious, though. Basically anytime Levi's underlings get greased is a great ride.

We just did not know he was related to Levi.

Holy poo poo, just finished the anime and my brain is on fire. So many truth bombs dropped in the last three episodes! I'm a little unclear on zeke's faction. He's obviously eldian, but is he working for Marley or is he part of a mainland faction of eldian that just want coordinate for their own purposes? Where does the Manga pick up from here? I doubt I can wait for the next season, so many questions!

The next season starts later this year, I believe in October. But if you can't wait, I think you can pick up the manga at chapter 90.

Zeke, along with Reiner/Berthold/Annie/Marcel and that quadruped titan that showed up at Shiganshina, all went through Marley's child soldier training program that gets talked about in the diaries, and were selected to inherit their titan from a previous warrior. Apparently tattling on mom and dad earned Zeke good cred with the military.
