Can't help but see that. As long as this author keeps making such rad monster designs, I'mma stay on board this ship.

It's actually kinda impressive how they had a character say straight up, "the plots in the basement of this one house" and have consistently given valid reason as to why the main character hasn't just gone there yet. Fun stuff.

That guy still has his face, though.

I've been going back through the manga and I noticed that Grisha's titan form looks similar to Monkey Trouble. This is well before the reveal that they are related.

In chapter 89, Eren Kruger mentions Mikasa and Armin but doesn't seem to know where the memories are coming from. Either Eren Jaeger is misremembering that part or the memories can go back in time. If the latter is the case, then possibly the reason that the royal family members with the Founding titan have the memories of the past and the future. Kruger did say that these "paths of light" carry memories and they all pass through the Founding titan. The memories are possibly divorced from time.

Yeah I think we’re going to get to the basement and get his flashback and the origin of the smiling titan. I think we might get some flashbacks with RBA during the fight at the wall, probably around where Bert gets eaten.

Dude in the anime thread hating on the conspiracy/revolution arc. I don’t understand it. Titans are terrifying, but humans going after our heroes can be just as scary and more difficult to deal with.

He’s going to be very disappointed with the next season I bet.

I honestly thought we'd see hosed Up Dad Titan two episodes ago because this part of the manga seemed to move faster than the anime is (while, of course, the anime moved way faster on the rebellion part) but with this past episode's action scene I don't mind it feeling slower.

Hey, am I the only one who envisioned the crystal basement as being pink? Seemed like outside of the actual walls themselves, any other hardening done by titans was pink-flavored. Blue is like.. right out in terms of what I expected.

I envisioned the titan crystal as a pale orange or something, similar to the how the color scheme changes once someone becomes a titan.

That clip is really good for setting up a question (what could make them fight each other) without giving anything up otherwise (group of them on a ruined rooftop like we’ve seen plenty of times before)

Though the anime-only, those who remain unspoiled, will slap themselves when they notice Armin is in the shot too.

And Erwin.

quote:

The Attack on Titan manga is marching towards its conclusion as Hajime Isayama begins writing the final arc.

TBS launched a teaser video for the newest Jounetsu Tairiku weekly program, which will talk about Attack on Titan. Isayama will make an appearance, which will include news about the manga’s final arc.

Isayama and his editor Shintarou Kawakubo have publically laid-out the manga’s roadmap in the past. In 2014, they both stated that Attack on Titan would end in three to four years, making the beginning of the final arc in line with their predictions.

Isayama hasn’t hinted to what his post-Attack on Titan career will look like. His output since 2006 has all been related to the hit series, but he did write a one-shot titled The Killing Pawn in 2014.

Augh I'd forgotten about that exact line, what was even the point of the stuff about the titan who ate his mom in the final chapter, what does that possibly add to the story?

Simply to explain why Dina didn't eat Bertolt. Could've just not had Bert be around Dina or simply gotten away. Nope, Eren's behind it all.

The worst part is, there was already a great setup for tragic irony when Dinas last words were “no matter what form I take, I will come and find you”. And we find out that Dina basically made a beeline for Grishas house and ate his new wife. It could have just been left as is, no further explanation needed, abnormal Titans are already well established in the story. It’s mind boggling why he decided to just ruin this retroactively.

It turned out that Eren made her say that

Didn't matter to Eren, didn't matter to any of the remaining main characters, but real missed opportunity to draw thousands of people who just woke up to find themselves drowning in the ocean, that's something the early manga would have relished taking the opportunity to depict

It could have been interesting to have one of the people who just woke up be the POV for the post-rumbling world

I think destroying 60% of the biosphere over a couple of hundred years, while still extremely bad, is no where to destroying 80% of the biosphere in a couple of months or days or however long the rumbling took.
