Easy. She attracts a load of titans. Leads them close to the human convoy and then loses them somehow. (By running away or turning back into a human)

Loads of titans close to the right flank of the convoy move in to attack.

That doesn't explain it, actually. The titans she used were all behaving abnormally.

No, they were all acting like regular titans with the occasional deviant titan mixed in. As stated previously, all titans are very much attracted to human-titans so her mere presence was enough to draw them wherever she went.

Man, watching the anime thread flip out from two episodes of downtime has been a real treat. I suppose they should be grateful that there won't be a jarring training flashback after the defense of Trost.

I noticed something, in the flashback Berthold has during training where he opens a window and sees a titan (http://www.mangareader.net/shingeki-no-kyojin/13/16),the titan he is seeing is a monkey.

it's hard to see because the page is so dark, but if you look closely you can see that the titan has hair covering his cheeks like the monkey we see later.

You sure? That just looks like the author's preferred method of heavy shading to me.

When I first read through the chapter, I didn't really get the impression that Reiner was completely nutso. The Mangastream translation really gets it across better, though. The anonymous translation I found kinda difficult to follow along with specifically what Reiner was talking about, but this one seems a bit more clear in that sense. However, it still is kinda confusing to me what's going through his mind. Did he just snap and decide "oh hey, I'm still a member of the scouting legion, great work back there at the castle, guys!" or what?

The facial structure is completely different, though. It looks more like a human with a beard rather than an ape. http://www.mangareader.net/shingeki-no-kyojin/35/29 has a similar picture of the beast titan's face.

It's just the shading. Here's the equivalent anime shot. They put lighting in it here, so you can see more easily that it's just a normal titan.

I've watched the 10th episode of the anime just now, and I'm not sure if there are subtle differences already or not. In the anime, Armin sees a single flower blooming inside the ribcage when Eren protects them from cannon fire - did that happen in the manga too? I've no idea if it's in any way significant, or if it's just a fancy way of pointing out how "benign" Eren's action are...

Also, did the manga state just as explicitly that Eren's dad gave him the titan powers? I'm not even sure in which chapter it came up, or if ever.

This is a good question as I don't remember it either, to me it sounded like Armin was wondering where the flowers came from, as if they weren't there before but I may be misremembering.

I think it would have helped the effect had they put more emphasis on the flowers' state prior to Eren breaking out the Titan skeleton. I don't remember it being in the manga, but something like that wouldn't have stuck out to me anyways, I guess. It's probably just as stated above, a visual device to show that Eren's skeletal Titan transformation was for protection only. It left everything within the ribcage unscathed, even a delicate flower.

Also, I found this image on the SnK wikia. I have no idea why it exists, but I do know that it's a flawless diamond and I love it. :allears:

Just read the latest chapter. As usual, answered a couple of questions, introduced more. But I love that Titan just chilling out down on the floor with a couple of his buddies sitting on him.

Also, that advert rules. All the stuff involving the Colossal Titan being silly is brilliant. The one doing karaoke, the huge head they have wherever, anything else probably.

I bet the only thing in the basement is a picture of a Titan doing something that makes Eren so mad he just goes (more) mental and kills all the Titans in one rage-filled go. Then explodes. :v:

Humanity rests in peace for another 100 years, but eating pizza has become Taboo. Eren has four sons, naming them after old-world artists and training them to use swords and 3D gear even though humanity doesn't do use them anymore now that the titans eat pizza instead. But pizza is too radical to lose, and they set out to take it back.
