Attack on Titan OP "The Rumbling" Reaction - THIS WAS WORTH THE HYPE.

[@dreamsofexodus]

The Rumbling by SiM is so popular that it hit #1 on the US Rock Billboard Chart. It was the first Japanese song to ever do this which is crazy considering the song was made for an anime, even if it was one of AoT’s calibur!

[@charlieboy59]

@Curious yes first ever none before

[@Winter1145I4]

well considering that it's the OP for the alleged final season of one of the most well-known animes, AND lyrics are in english. It's not a big surprise.

[@FallenLight0]

@@Winter1145I4 and the most importat, it is a good song

[@thephalange8630]

Omg I didn't know that, that's AWESOME!!!

[@deenadalnim8832]

Wait. One ok rock never made it?

[@Lostbomber]

Erens scream at the end had me hyped as hell!!!

[@bedanandathingujam9363]

Me too ☺

[@freddie4682]

It made me laugh it seemed to funny to me

[@KiiruG]

nuh uh​@@freddie4682

[@zamtriostamer923]

Just as a note, pretty much every anime opening is written for that particular show. There are definitely exceptions but the majority are made with the show in mind.

[@qeinz]

yep, and sometimes the MV is totally different from the show. Eve - FIght Song for chainsaw man for example

[@biscuitman5388]

It’s good but not the best for me. I prefer 3, 2 and 1.

[@АлексейЗаботкин-т1х]

Rarely, mostly its to promote songs from album

[@ashtheintrovert]

@@biscuitman5388 ok 😆 🤣

[@ashtheintrovert]

@@biscuitman5388 nobody asked 😆 🤣 😂

[@asteinwords71]

The ending song is good too But should watch when u r done with ep 28 Because then the ed hits too much more and u can feel the lyrics more

[@brandonkallem9385]

My favorite ending for the show! Makes me wanna cry 😂

[@ansonyin3507]

The best ending

[@susbedo9258]

Yeah, the ending was equally as good and the lyrics just hit damn hard.

[@satownrules]

Yeah, Definitely would love to see their reaction to the lyrics of this ending also. So Heartbreaking.

[@luhung998]

Yea totally agreed with this..I could literally feel the song through my soul..

[@freeze_electric]

I’m a Sasageyo fan but honestly, this opening could dethrone it. Immediately added it into my playlist it’s so good

[@skyllamma991]

I always heard that people who dont like this one are stuck on sasageyo lol sasageyo was my fav before this

[@freeze_electric]

@@skyllamma991 yeah I’ve seen the wars about people’s favorite opening, I might give Sasageyo the slight edge but I think they should just enjoy both masterpieces for what they are

[@bedanandathingujam9363]

I like both OP but I'll choose The Rumbling because the lyrics and the situation of Eren right in this season is match and whenever I listened I feel like I'm becoming Eren🤣

[@Khayreee]

What? 😂

[@Khayreee]

Oh nvm

[@pach1nko]

the "grab a knife" is symbolic in a lot of ways: grabbing a knife to save mikasa, putting on odm gear to save his home, starting the rumbling to save his friends

[@Randomdude516]

I thought it was Spoilers I thought it was about mikasa killing Eren, she just wanted to protect him, not kill him

[@twinslive.]

@@Randomdude516 That could work too but this song is written from Eren's POV

[@bel410la]

"All I ever wanted was to save your life" saving Mikasa, saving everyone from titans, saving Paradi from every other country. I love this intro.

[@SuperAli156]

Well since you're at episode 25 in real time, it's totally "spoiler free" and usually recommended to be watched after episode 21. Love you guys!

[@Scythe149]

This song is one of best anime openings of all time without question. Also this captures Eren's character essence so flawlessly. Like the "I swear" screams after every line signifies that he always intended to do the right things in every step of his life, yet also raging at the same time. This OP is the GOAT! Also loved the reaction.

[@celeschan90]

7:10 I had the exact same thought process. I thought 'grab the knife' referred to when he saved Mikasa. And they showed that scene a few seconds later in the anime opening. But here they showed the ODM sword in this version, so I thought "hmm, maybe not."

[@chriskim9289]

The meaning can have multiple perspectives. The image of mikasa grabbing the knife is a part of her arc but it's also part of the main theme of the show which is humanity's will to live and fight for freedom in a cruel world

[@kayden2119]

things can have multiple meanings lol

[@zangermim252]

This song is a Masterpiece!! The way it goes first all angry, then emotional and then angry again!! Just love it!! especially the ending when the main chorus feels like emotional like sad and then the line comes "I don't want anything I'm just here to...!!" And then it switches to anger again "Bewareeee!!!" just love it!!

[@justxavierr4891]

Stil having goosebumps even after listening it hundreds times

[@kartikeytyagi2330]

Ending is also a masterpiece you guys should watch that as well, it's very emotional 😭 with lyrics.. "Akuma no ko" 🔥🔥🔥 🔥

[@thatobject6610]

Especially the anime special version!

[@lizzylizh]

We didn’t hype this up for NOTHING ! 🤣 this song is so good. My inner emo comes out

[@WARRIOR-uf8ov]

This song ain't emo

[@santokun5835]

​@@WARRIOR-uf8ov It's the most emo shit in anime lmao. But It's good emo, so we move

[@somerandommenace]

​@@santokun5835 yeah emo isnt really much of an insult

[@kusonemi___]

I also like this OP, so I'm glad that the two of you enjoyed it. Contrary to Eren's strangely calm appearance for most of the film, this song is very intense. It's like listening to Eren's inner cry. 👣

[@Mlp-s8y]

Thank you for the reaction, really enjoyed it. I wanted to say that if you’re going to react to the ending,you should do it with English subs as it has some really nice lyrics. Thanks.😊

[@christopherflores5405]

The "Akuma no ko" ending deserves as much hype IMO.

[@mikeespejo8789]

The lyrics from that ending are even more sad and hearthbreaking. 🤧😓

[@sarfarazamani7322]

ESPECIALLY the full version. My god does that song hit hard and i absolutely LOVE the singer Ai Higuchi's voice so much. Its really beautiful.

[@daisy-wq7uu]

frr

[@xoxogrim]

When Ron said “I actually really love rock & metal” a couple months back, I couldn’t wait for y’all to react to this🔥🔥🔥

[@Mimo2392]

Easily the best opening in anime for me, not for everyone. But you will have to watch the Ending and read the lyrics to it too another masterpiece included to the show!! Love you guys!😁

[@angelesale8104]

The butterfly is a symbol of mikasa there is an ova about her the butterfly and eren is so deep and important

[@darbs1832]

Just as a note regarding spoilers: I'm fairly certain that in Japan they don't really care about spoilers like western audiences do. "A spoiled plot isn't a spoiled show" is kinda how it's thought of there.

[@frozenlettuce293]

No they definitely do, they call spoiler alerts netabare It still depends on person to person, not culture to culture

[@Gopal__S]

It's not because they don't care about spoilers. It's because most read the manga so spoilers won't affect them and the visuals are for hyping what people already know will happen from the manga.

[@nitramnagrom3574]

Hajime Isayama hand selects the bands to perform for the Opening songs, Ending songs, and Original Sound Tracks!!! He intentionally instructs them and adds in easter eggs for the story to be unravelled later

[@J_2_]

most anime openings have many huge spoilers but you would never notice them or understand them until after you watched the show it shows whats going to happen and gives you reason to be hyped to watch

[@Sifu-Myers]

By far the best opening. The official music video has a longer version which i enjoy alot and has AOT stuff so its cool to see they wrote it for the show.

[@abrahamroldan4107]

Guys, every song has been written specifically for the show. For example, the first ending with mikasa is an answer wich response you can find in this season ending with Eren. If you like, I can make a short list of songs from the ost tha I consider to be really helpfull with how the story was written. Hiroyuki sawano and kohta yamamoto are true legends, teacher and student, but Hiroyuki sawano has the more lyrics in his songs that are made for the show, world and characters :)

[@diegovasquez1054]

it's a reference to many things at the same time, that's why it is so beautiful. beautiful lines followed by "I SWEAR!!!" screamed by a literal monster.

[@brandonkallem9385]

I’m pretty sure the show runners for the anime asked Isayama what music they think Eren would listen to and “The Rumbling” is the result of that! Perfect song for season 4 Eren!

[@delaneyfells913]

I think it's beautiful that you guys are reacting to it. Not leaving it way till the end. That makes me happy. I'm glad you're doing it. I'm glad you like the song. I love the song

[@RazzyShazzy]

This opening is the only one my parents wouldn't want me to skip when we binged AOT. They liked this one that much, and my parents don't like anime or heavier music, so that's a win!

[@JJ-wd8sh]

Ending was fire too🔥

[@qqNai]

9:33 💀💀 everyone’s done it at one point LMFAO

[@Toasterfinal5]

I totally lost my mind when I first heard the full version of this song. I went straight to my playlist & has resided there ever since.

[@visiblyboundless]

❤❤❤ MUCH LOVE GUYS This is definitely my favorite opening of all time and I’m so glad to see my favorite reactors loving it too ❤❤

[@datwee7576]

It should be noted that when the ending of the third season (first half) was made the music video goes deep into detail that not even the manga was at yet. They defiantly go through the story when making these

[@lornaledesma9226]

These OP and Ending songs are my favourites because of the meaning of each song

[@oscartrejo2308]

Not just the OP, the ending is beautiful, the best AOT ending

[@ttmayo9067]

I’ve been watching AOT again through you guys thanks for reacting to the best anime

[@ashtheintrovert]

Ok now chill its honestly not even close of being the "best" so stfu. If it's your opinion than it's fine but don't say it as a fact and ìt once was a "good" story before that horrendous hot garbage final arc.

[@knaditya8228]

FMAB left the chat.. Monster Left the chat.. (This is a joke and should be taken as one I am not hating on your opinion, there are many anime made in last 6 decades and AOT is one of the better ones but not the best one well that just my opinion)

[@Smoochybear17]

​@@knaditya8228bro sorry to tell you, your opinion is objectively wrong as AoT is objectively the best anime

[@posdetective5022]

Was super fun to watch you two react to this! I haven't seen the full video until this video and it's so sick!🤘 Had me head banging with you two xD

[@Aishcity.]

Oh, my! Ron, you broke it down accurately. I didn't even count meaning to the knife reference to season one. It does make perfect sense. Also, all anime openings are written for the animes.

[@franciscatorres1613]

The ending is soo deep too :')

[@maku-9072]

All the openings and endings are made for that peculiar show, the producers contact the signers, or viceversa, and they play for that specific anime

All songs in this Aniem intro and outro were specifically composed and written with the story and characters in mind. More over specifically for AOT the openings and endings answer to each other.

Hello, I am following you from TÜRKİYE 🇹🇷. As you know, we are facing the 2 most devastating EARTHQUAKES in the history of humanity, we have a lot of dead and injured people. but even in this case, I watched your reaction and got positive energy from you. so thank you so much you are such a lovely couple. 💫 Please do not hold back your prayers.🤲

[@tomatokage]

I will never tire of watching people lose their minds over this OP. It's so good. Love that you were both singing along with the chorus by the end!

[@Sparrowhawk97]

Not all opening songs were made for anime. This is one of the special times it was. Often the openings are used to promote upcoming albums and stuff. But this one was obviously made for this. They knew from the manga what would happen and had a song made to hype up what was coming.

[@LymLevolveon]

I think the "never wanted to grab a knife" part is for Mikasa. Eren wanted to kill the kidnappers, he willingly took the knife and called them filthy beasts after killing them, whereas Mikasa never wanted to get involved in the violence, she did it to save Eren's life and activated her Ackerman instincts. Also I'm pretty sure that the middle finger and the index finger is shown as the colossal titan walking, the rumbling, name of the song, LoL.

[@maizeman90]

It's all from Eren's perspective. Both the opening and closing songs are through his eyes and are linked. In the outro the beginning of it shows him as a kid holding a bloody knife.

[@LymLevolveon]

@@maizeman90 Idk man, that line doesn't fit then lol

[@coleyy_ni]

6:29 I believe its when he really saved mikasa where that line "i never wanted to grab a knife" was inspired or referenced into.

[@CXPYCXTZER]

Speaking of linkin park, rip they drop a song “lost” too so yeah.

[@AngelusX92]

I think a underrated part is showing all the shifters back to back very visually pleasing to me

[@shandagibbs2192]

Im not even into screaming music, but this song is so good.

Hope we can see your reaction video of the ED soon, and don't forget to see the lyrics!

[@filipopaselio5638]

No matter how many times I would listen to this song it always gives me chills, Never thought I'd jam to a Metal type song. I pump this at the gym and unleash the beast

[@ashtheintrovert]

This song is from Eren's pov and what he has to do to save his people.

[@Thundernoob98]

One thing I love is how they transition from baby Zeke throwing a ball to the beast titan throwing something

[@kartikeytyagi2330]

yeah butterfly thing is significant, kid Eren was chasing a butterfly when both Zeke and Old Eren were walking through Grisha's memories.. but now we see that butterfly crushed under titan's feet.. 😭

[@fullmoon3128]

The song and lyrics hits so hard, and the ending song is really beautiful, just look forward to it. Thank you for reacting to it, hopefully it doesn't get copyrighted but it's really worth it!!

[@Flaa32]

The rumbling is master piece man and the lyrics is really deep for real 😳🥶.

[@Gouache-yh2lw]

If I lose it all. I wonder if means losing his humanity. Like armin always said in season 1. You can’t change anything if you don’t lose your humanity. Eren took it to the next level as that idea festered in him for so long.

[@こばやん-g2g]

They’re both so cute.

[@minhio06]

6:47 damn I could not get that reference if you guys did not figure it out, the last OP lyricals to the first season, what a MATCH

[@tylerschalli4241]

You guys have to make a video how you watch the ending with subtitles that would be soooo great

[@abhabh6896]

The guy singing was in the smome profuction. This op was definitely a passion project at the core.

[@susbedo9258]

All AOT songs, soundtrack are written specifically for the anime. The singers/songwriters for each song actually consulted with the producers and also the AOT manga writer Isayama prior to their songwriting process.

[@manishmanojan]

The ending is just as good worth checking out too

[@Chiny_Ok_]

Ok not just as good, but still real good

[@maxshibanov818]

I just don't like how Ron is like super focused on the search of meaning behind the words and what moments are present in the video. Like dude, could you just appreciate the song and visuals the first time you hear this masterpeace? Jeez

When i first hear this song it reminds me of the song "welcome home" by coheed and cambria..

[@eternalhazer7108]

Now this is Justice ❤️ thanks for the reaction

[@TheCrandellous333]

The grab the knife line I took as a metaphor to Erin having to become the bad guy and take lives. It could mean lots of things, but he killed a lot of people to try and save his friends and fellow eldians.

[@KING_FLOCH...]

Full version is even more amazing. Thanks.

[@minhio06]

3:51 bro really noticed the lyrics, appreciate that

[@rocketmanart7964]

Best Attack on Titan opening. My second favorite is Under the Tree also by SIM

[@AnthonyCampos18z.]

When the lyrics say “ All I ever wanted to do was save your life, I never wanted to grab a knife” it reminds me of the time that Eren saved Mikasa when they were kids.

[@crunchy303]

You can try reacting to the Endings as well. They are fire and hold a lot of significance

[@SonGoku-xz8mm]

Yea just wait till yall react to the ED with subs 😭😂

[@FallenLight0]

This intro is Eren singing to Mikasa, while the first ending of the first season was Mikasa singing to Eren, and in both songs there is the reference to the knife Eren used to kill his first person. And the ending of this season is really good too.

[@Me_You_JP]

I get goosebumps whenever I listen to this.

[@CupOfTaeWithAKookie]

Later at 4:19 when they show young Eren, you can see a faint image of when he was stabbing the kidnappers. This really makes me think the "I never wanted to grab a knife" line was referencing the scene with Mikasa.

[@mestill1811]

Luv you guys! Good vibes!✊🏾🙏🏾

[@MixFatal]

Openings have major spoilers if you pay attention to the opening but glad to hear you are on episode 25 so you won't really be spoiled :) You should react to all openings and endings

[@lj8852]

Love this jam still one of my top anime jam videos.

[@kevinsantos4158]

I see you got curious on the butterfly, while it could be a reference to a particular scene in the series, there's also something called the butterfly theory and the story behind why it's called butterfly. You might want to search it after the trilogy episodes.

[@ZachParks21]

Lol. So glad y'all watched it. It's saying he never wanted to have to take up the fight, he just wants to protect what's important. To do so, he has to do what is necessary. Has to become "the king" and lead. You'll see at like the very last couple episodes at the very end of the anime.

[@m96farxd]

guys you should watch the lost girl ova of mikasa its important
