Levi didn't have the authority to call that shot. In fact the higher ups were getting ready to gently caress Eren after the expedition even though he did follow orders.

The plan never called for him to take an active role in the capture just to serve has bait. He had a damocles sword over his head and was told to prove he could be controlled and part of the team, they spent 2 episodes drilling this point home, that he must become part of the team.
"Oh yeah he disobeyed us and hosed our plan to lure the female titan into a trap" would go over like a lead balloon.

You do realize that was only a guise to draw out the female titan? The whole point of the expedition was the draw out any enemies lurking from within the military by using Eren as bait. It's even commented that it was a really weird they were leaving so early with all those new recruits.

Levi only answers to Erwin and Erwin will probably side with Levi on any decision he makes.

e: http://www.mangastream.to/shingeki-no-kyojin-chapter-1-page-91.html Heres that scene in the manga btw. He just stands up says gently caress all titans then timeskip.

Yeah, Jean calls him out on his bullshit several times (Jean is probably my favorite character because he's the one that grew the most) but Eren seemingly doesn't take much from it. gently caress, he got his team killed on Trost, he should have at least learned something from that. Every time he decides to play it by ear people end up dead but he just digs in deeper.

The only time he played it by ear was during Trost. After that he followed orders like you've stated and then after that he's been kidnapped. So I guess so?

Come on, people, ザ! Are you ばか or something? :smug:

As I see it, what he did was deny his only remaining family any kind of tenderness in what both of them surely thought was their final moment, for the sake of raging at titans some more. Eren may be a bit unhinged sometimes, but he's not stupid enough to think he can ward off a titan by punching it. He was as shocked as anyone when they were saved by deus ex machina. He was being a jerkhole, and it only worked because of a plot twist out of nowhere.

He was just as shocked as when he blocked the cannonball even though he 'knew' how to do it.

This won't be a movie of a TV series, though. It'd be a movie of a manga series, like Dragonball Evolution.

Which movie? I'd almost say this is a reference to one of the early Mobile Suit Gundams (0079 or Zeta), but I don't think so.

I think trucutru may be referencing the "they're merging!" line from the anime which I don't think is in the manga at all. Eren wanted to eat/merge with Annie and it's possible that doing so helped him gain the ability to create hard surfaces which in the Manga they suddenly believe he can do? That's the only logic I can make out of it.

It's referring to the conversation between Reiner and Ymir. A lot of people interpret it as you need to eat a shifter to become a shifter.

Well now. Now Eren's having flasbacks to a girl version of himself. Between that, the chapter 1 dream, and Ymir reading the canned food, it's starting to look like Titan shifters are really, REALLY loving old

I thought it was because they attacked the parts of the walls with gates in them, which probably wouldn't have a Titan inside them.

Actually it was translated into exactly what Cute n Popular said. Right here. Read pages 5 and 6.

I haven't really seen any other translations so I can't compare.

1) If they were human titans at that point why didn't they transform?
2) She finally became human again, after being stuck for 60 years in what she calls a nightmare, so 'her position is obvious' she wants to stay human not die and protect Historia.

Is this clearly stated? I haven't reread the chapter but I'm remembering it as a more generic "suppressed the memory" which I interpret in a 1984-esque "memory-hole / who controls the past controls the future" way rather than straight mind control.

Christa's sister/teacher person would wipe her memory after every visit. Erwin's dad also suspected that they did something like that and Erwin said that they most likely did after learning of Eren's new power.

I just saw that adult swim will be showing the anime, is it worth watching/stays with the story. Plan on just reading the manga anyway, but its nice to have some music to go along with it in my head.

A lot of people think the anime drags on a bit and theres a few extra scenes but it's pretty much the same except for the final episode.

I wonder why Bert and Ernie were trying to capture Eren instead of straight up eating him for his power then. They specifically said Eren is the worst person to have the coordinate ability.

Remember it's just speculation by Hanji also the TL could be shoddy. Alternatively, they'd then have to be eaten for it to reach whoever wants it.

Kissmanga link to the latest chapter - http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Shingeki-no-Kyojin/Shingeki-no-Kyojin-070?id=231727

Eren said "Please don't apologise Mr Hange". Is that confirmation that Hange's a man, or just a poor translation of "Hange-san"?

It's the same TL as Mangapanda so it's probably just a bad TL. Wait for CR.

It's an officially licensed prequel. It has a different author, but had input from the main author. If he had any sort of oversight at all it seems odd he would let such a huge plot point be wrong. As of now I would treat it like star wars EU. Cannon until the main source says otherwise.

It has been a while since I read the early issues. I thought the titans broke through the outcropping city(small U shaped wall attached to the main wall) then broke into the main wall. I guess I need to reread it all.
