Im with you here Kamil. As a Fan of the Band Tool i know the Phenomenom you described only too well. Most people who now act smug and smart and think they understand everything, where just as clueless as most other reactors when they first watched it. I personally had literally over a decade of time to wrap my head around this show and for me it was like my consciousness grew with the Series over the course of a decade and alot of stuff i only understood because of others and in that whole timespan i went from different states of "oh man its actually not good anymore" to "oh shit i was blind to the genius of this show" And even now watching the Show im seeing new stuff i didnt see before and my "allegiances" changed multiple times back and forth before i finally had a definitive state on what i think was right and what not. Remember the Kids that were picking on Armin on the very first Episode ? i watched that episode so many fucking times, but only like after 10 literal years i saw that the kids who where picking on Armin got crushed by a Boulder - its only a very short moment.

true that, especially cause this show isn't as black and white as what it seemed to be at the start. i.e., what if the show started on the Marley side. It's chaotic neutral and made me appreciate masterful storytelling.

[@Bunnybry]

People have such strong options on what's wrong and right in this show and get caught up being on *sides*. And miss a huge point of the show that it's morally grey. No one is wrong or right. You don't have to be on anyone's side and appreciate the show for what it is. A clash of perspectives. Bert's perspective before he dies in season 3 is really neat. The cycle continues when you do what is done to you.

A lot people say there is no right or wrong in this show…. I think we should all be able to draw the line at killing and hurting people is ‘wrong’, therefore everyone is wrong, because all of the characters are actively hurting and killing each other. I wish everyone would stop saying there’s no right or wrong, when we can actively see bad things happening by everyone. We can call it what it is. We don’t even need to excuse or whitewash what’s going on. It’s all horrible.

As an anime watcher, that's an interesting detail. However, I don't think it has prevented me from enjoying the anime. It's understandable that for anime they cannot fit every single detail into moving pictures. Lord of the Rings movies couldn't fit everything from the books. Harry Potter couldn't either. And numerous other adaptions from written works. To me, I'm willing to give AOT a pass because I've enjoyed the anime so far.

[@24sailorvenus]

eren and mikasa repeating the phrase he said way back when to reinforce their thinking to push themselves forward always gets me. mikasa's is filled with doubt as she sits by sasha's grave the entire day whereas eren's is filled with conviction. and yeah mikasa was rlly close with sasha outside of ema, they're the only girl scouts and were roommates and had a little bit of banter here and there so obv both armin and mikasa took her death hard...interesting to see how armin's response is to vent to annie and question his decisions and trust in eren meanwhile mikasa's is to reinforce it despite being emotionally conflicted bc of the fact that her best girlfriend died as a result of the actions of the person she treasures the most. "if you win you live, if you lose you die" but is it rlly considered a win for her if one of her closest friends died, was the fight worth the cost. also dw about the fandom pressurizing you guys to "choose sides", the author makes it a point that no one is fully right or fully wrong, armin established this way back in s1 with his speech with annie, being a good person is entirely subjective. you're allowed to empathize with characters despite supporting war and killing etc

[@coltonpiper6156]

Erin is correct. Armin says “If we can fix peoples misconceptions on how we are monsters”. And Eren replies “they see us as monsters because we can transform unwillingly into man eating titans”. That’s a valid reason to be afraid of Eldians.

[@Kaemonarch]

You two hit the nail on the head with your analysis of Eren's character at the end. Also remember that this is the same Eren who, at the age of 9, brutally murdered two human traffickers to save a girl whom he had never even met before (and then subsequently told her to win is to fight, encouraging her to kill the third trafficker), and completely dehumanized those men in the process. Then, a year later, he saw titans destroy his home and eat his mother before his very eyes. Eren's not completely right in the head, even if his values and motivations are good, he's not the kind of person to be burdened by the weight of what he's done like Erwin. That's not to say he'd callously throw away his friends' lives, far from it, Sasha's death *did* affect him, but his breaking point is seemingly much higher.

[@scythe9734]

Perfectly said.

[@thedevilorder]

[@RyzenShanks]

Considering the fact that the memories of all previous Attack Titan users are known to Eren, he is living like many people in one body. Those memories is fucking his mind.

[@daniaaal]

Actually, that shooting range scene was about 1-2 years before present time of the season. They were getting used to the presence of Marleyans on the island, albeit most of them being prisoners. Eren still had hair that was only slightly longer than the end of season 3 part 2.

[@Qprah]

Fun thing to remember from past seasons is that: Armin had a bit of a crush on Annie, Bertholdt also had a crush on Annie, and Annie seemed to have a soft spot for Armin. I've heard the seashell described by people as representing a few different things to Arwin, which is why he holds onto it. 1st one is that hermit crabs will move into a slightly bigger shell as they grow too big for their current shell. Thats sort of how the world has been for the main characters of the story so far. First their world was just Zhiganshina, then it was the interor of Wall Rose, then it was all of Wall Maria, then it was all of the island, and now they can see the rest of the world too. The 2nd interpretation is that when you hold a seashell up to your ear you can hear the sea, and so Armin holds onto it so that he can hear the sea whenever he wants to. So the seashell can represent to Armin the constantly growing and changing scale of the world around them, or just as a physical reminder of what freedom means to him. Either way its a pretty cool detail.

[@perrywinkle5000]

Pieck knew who Yelena and the others were before they came to the island. Basically, Pieck was around when they set sail from Marley. . She mentions that Yelena was part of the crew that disappeared. So she would've had to have seen them just before they left and got "captured".

Eren at the Shooting range WAS a flashback. You can tell by everybody's hair length. Pieck saw Yelena on the scout ship as it was leaving Marley and she was a soldier before leaving so there were plenty of opportunities for Pieck to see her. Yelena and Onyancopon aren't Marleyans. They are forced conscripts for the Marleyan army from nations conquered by Marley.

[@alexinator-hh5fe]

What people expected after seeing the crew show up in episode 6: Everyone is on the same page, Eren is working with them, Zeke is still looking for revenge, Armin detained the titans, Annie is back after all these years? What they actually got: The group is in shambles and a rift has formed, Eren essentially forced them into this and no one is on the same page, MONKE SUPREMACY, it was actually Yelena, and Annie's still taking a nap I think it's a cool little subtle detail that immediately after eating Lara, Eren puts his hair in a bun. A very similar hairstyle to hers. Poor Armin feels like he's becoming distant from his best friend. Zeke is rejecting his humanity and returning to Monke. Yelena is amazing and an intriguing new addition to the cast. And Annie has finally returned, sorta. It's been 84 years.

[@luitjenapol2815]

Not really. No one could know about the Yelena part, but anyone who pays attention would realise the divide between Eren and the others, and Zeke being in contact with Eren. There's no reason to believe that anything has happened to Annie, though it could be possible with the limited knowledge we have, but there's no reason to expect it.

[@greatanwaegbu]

Just a fun fact - Sasha's last words in the previous episode was "Niku" which Connie interpreted as meat. However, there's a possibility that she was actually saying "Nico" short for Niccolo, the chef. Hinting at the fact that she and the outsider may have fallen in love behind our backs.

[@houseofaction]

no there is no such possiblity,

[@lextutor4682]

Nahh - it was "meat"

[@smol6193]

If thats the case then it is a bad way to end a character story. First we had no idea who Nicolo was and his relationship with Sasha. Sasha is a fan favorite character and to have her last words be something that people cant relate to is a bad way to end her character. If they had given hints about Nicolo and his relationship with her before her death scene then there might have been a possibility. Meat makes more sense for her character.

[@greatanwaegbu]

@@smol6193 perhaps you should pay more attention to Sasha's character then. She was created to be comic relief (modelled after Sacha-Baron Cohen), but she became much more than that. If you remember her quarrel with her father about changing their way of life from being hunters, you'll remember that her father was trying to help her let go of her hatred for outsiders. He (her father) said everyone was just in a big forest, all children of that forest. Sasha's first character development comes when she returns home, and saves one of those people whom have come into her home and changed her family's ancient hunting tradition. It's then even more interesting if she and Nico had anything together, because she (Sasha) began as someone who didn't like outsiders (much like people in real life hate immigrants). Now her world which resolved around potato and meat, which she can't see beyond, is shaken by the fact that there's food even in the vast water. She's now more open to other children in the forest, and everything the forest itself has to offer. This is what Sasha has become, and limiting her entire story to someone that loves 'meat' is a really poor way to see her story. If she did fall in love with an outsider, if she did fall in love with a child of the forest, then it's consistent with how her story has been built up. SPOILER Kaya actually says she believed Nico and Sasha were in love. If you've seen the show, it's clear as day. These kids have been fighting all their life, you don't think they want to find love? Damn.

[@smol6193]

@@greatanwaegbu Maybe you need to actually read my comment and try to understand my point before writing an entire essay lol. Maybe everything you said is correct but thats not the point because most of the things you mentioned are just fanciful imagination. Not everything has to be poetic. Even before she was being shot she was asking when they were going to eat. And if you actually cared to understand the obvious emphasis on her character instead of looking for poetic justice, it is clearly obvious what she was thinking about when she was dying. Now if you find it difficult to understand my previous comment I will simplify it for you. What you mentioned might be correct but I wasnt implying that anybody is wrong in thinking that she might have said Nicolo but I was talking about the writing choice. It made less sense to have her say Nicolo since we hardly know anything about him even if she was in love with him, we didnt know about the character so while watching the scene itself it wont make sense. And believe me death of a fan fav character should be meaningful when they are dying not in later episodes. Otherwise its bad writing. The viewers would relate more to her saying meat than Nico.

[@MrWordcraft]

To be fair to Gabi, when she went up to the airship she was fully planning to die. So it wasn't a "silly" decision as if she was going up there to kill everyone and get rid of the invaders then come out alive, she knew that at most she would kill a couple of people before dying but she wanted revenge for the destruction of her town. Her decision wasn't nearly as silly as Eren when he went after the titan that ate Thomas thinking he'd be some superhero.

She's very competent for a prepubescent girl even considering the military training, but she's still a young child and she only really beats people by surprising them (Sasha, her guard in Paradis, Eren right before he starts the Rumbling). She's humbled time and again. In terms of her worldview, it's incredibly obvious that her beliefs are wrong and she's just spouting off propaganda from a fascist government because she's been brainwashed into it. She isn't portrayed as speaking anything resembling truth, and if anything she becomes more and more pathetic as she goes because she has to go to increasing lengths to preserve the lies she was taught.

The big difference between S1 episode 1 and this stretch of season 4, where I disagree with Ange: The Warriors were children following orders during that period in time during the events that unfolded during the fall of Wall Maria. These children were victims in other words, not truly understanding what they were doing nor why. The adults commanding them were morally responsible, however. But Eren in this season is no child; he is an adult who fully grasps the nature of what he is about to do and goes about doing it in spite of that, knowing full well the consequences. It's one thing for a child to kill and an entirely different thing for an adult to commit mass murder. In one case you don't have the same level of moral/legal responsibility, but in the case of an adult committing premeditated murder there certainly is. This is why I sympathized more with the Warriors overall, and the Warriors candidates especially. As for Eren, I found it very difficult to justify his actions in light of this philosophy of his where the ends seem to justify the means. That is why much like Hange, I lost my trust in Eren and could no longer support his actions during this period, though that is not to say that he didn't remain one of the best if not the best written characters on the show imho.

Honestly(and this is coming from a South African), I never saw that scene as controversial not did I ever see any people(POC’s included) who thought the scene was troublesome even. I mean it only makes sense, these dudes went over 100 years not even knowing that there’s land other than the one they live on nor that there’s other people. It would only be no less than a shock to find out there are people out there who look completely different from what them. I’m honestly surprised nobody asked earlier cause if it were me, I woulda been throwing questions the moment I saw them get off the boat 🤣

Àbout Niccolo there was à blushing so its more than friendship. Remember when Sasha d'IED she asked are wé eating soon and her last word was meat In Japanese nikku which fits to short Nicolo. So wé can assume she's dreaming àbout à home scène.

[@ssjbargainsale]

You guys are best in the biz! Loved the little recap and overview in the beginning of the video

[@ondank]

Sashas first major action in the show (other then stealing food) was to save a mans life in ep5. Every time we see her after that she is doing something to help someone. Whether its saving the girl in the village from the titan, rescuing Jean from the cart in S3 or even killing someone who was about to kill connie. Even during the battle, she is sniping armed soldiers but doesn't shoot gabi, despite the fact she must know she is a warrior candidate. Of course that kind sweet girl doesn't give a damn about where Niccolo was from or even the fact he despised her. She ate his food and praised his skill regardless. So I am glad her death is given the appropriate focus in this episode. She deserved the spotlight for being the understated hero throughout.

[@RyzenShanks]

I really don't get why would some people who loves Eren and just suddenly hate him just because he had done some things to enemies and to innocent civilians which he doesn't have a choice because it is planned and setup by Marley and Zeke's batrayal combined with the show's previous portrayal of the good side of other characters in Marley.

[@marcusgaius]

Fence sitting should really be a discipline at the Olympics. People are so good at it.

[@_tm.b_3532]

I mean...I can understand those people after hearing Eren's pov from the manga, who happened before the declaration of war. However, when it comes to Eren's characters, people just tend to dislike/worship him for his terrible actions, ignoring the complexity of AoT world's situation and of Eren's mental state

[@acmh7538]

Well first of all, there is a big difference between loving Eren and supporting him. I can't condone or support his actions, but I still love him, he's one of my favorite characters, and my heart is broken for him. And I disagree that he didn't have a choice. Spoiler alert just in case, I don't remember exactly what is clarified at this point but: On the contrary, the whole thing is set up by Zeke, and therefore Eren, now that we know that they worked together. At the beginning of 3x02, Marley is just willing to lick their wounds after the 4 years war, but it's Zeke idea to involve the Tybur and form an alliance to declare war on Paradis. If it weren't for Zeke and Eren, Marley wouldn't have declare war, at least not this soon.

[@smol6193]

Up until this point its all fine for me. But his actions later in the series had me turn on him.

[@RyzenShanks]

@@acmh7538 Eren don't want Historia to be the Titan key for accessing the powers of the Founding Titan so I don't believe Eren got a choice there and probably just wanted Zeke's trust.

[@michaelhan2317]

Before Sasha died, she said Niku. Which in Japanese means meat. Many think that’s what she said because of her love for food. But she could be saying Nico, short for Nicolo 😭😭

Stunning and Brave volunteers

[@haroko_chanotaku7234]

Eren's words with Armin describe that he has thought of many solutions to get the world on their side but there is no point since he saw the future. And also Armin's words with Annie represent the situation of the warriors completely with them in the past, so the hatred against the warriors has become insignificant because the Legion also did the same, killing lives and destroying the country because there is no other solution

The beast’s sins are unforgivable, not only he killed almost all the survey corps but he almost killed connie and ymir and historia at that tower in season 2

[@stryx_flame3973]

The anti Marleyan volunteers aren't fighting because they necessarily care about the eldians(paradisians)/subjects of Ymir. They're fighting because Marley is repeating the same tyranny that the former eldia empire committed onto Marley and the rest of the main continent from 107 yrs ago during and before the Great Titan war. Marley, in using the powers of the now conquered subjects of Ymir, are controlling the titans in dominating and devouring the rest of the continent. Which has predictably led to the situation that formed Yellena's group of people's from subjugated nations, they cooperate with paradis because the paradisians are the ones who most of all have to stand against Marley or risk being annihilated. This is a "the enemy of my enemy" situation, more than a humanitarian one, at least for the majority of the volunteers that is.

[@lextutor4682]

Just to add to the discussion - Paradise attack on Marley is NOT the same as what Marley soldiers did in Ep1. Marley even expected the attack or some action as we know from Willy and Magath's talk. They knew what they did to Paradise before, the ships that they send never came back. Eren and the crew in episode one didn't know anything at all.

[@TheEnd0117]

It was a surprise attack but Marley declared war first. Eren waited till the last second to see if Marley would choose a different path. The whole world chose to declare war on Marley and the eldians living there. I genuinely don’t feel for the Marlyeans. You can’t attack first and declare war and then be surprised when people retaliate.

Annie's not literally standing up she's in a crystal, it's almost like she's floating 😅 and pieck noticed Yelena because when Zeke brought marley volunteers from other countries she was on one of the 1st ships but obviously not actually working for Marley just acting.

[@13theartist]

One thing I’ve never understood about the rumbling and how ANYBODY from paradis could be for it is that…. These massive titans will shatter the wall material which will cause flying debris, and then they’re going to walk out of the island, meaning that the only thing left of the people inside the walls would be the very very center elite. Bc it’s not like the titans are going to sidestep buildings and carefully walk down streets and avoid crushing anyone to death… like? Can someone explain how the rumbling isn’t just mutually assured destruction?

[@f5673-t1h]

When Eren said there was no misconception about them being monsters, then how would he answer if he were asked to put himself in Marleyan shoes? Would he think that "yes, Eldians are monsters, therefore they should be killed"? Then how is he better? If not, then clearly he can see that talking is the better option. Moreover, Armin was right that talking is the best option, because we clearly see Nicolo go from wanting to sacrifice himself to kill Eldians, to loving one. Even Eren's OWN FATHER was a mainland Eldian who resented the islanders, but fell in love with one.

[@mcdcrss43]

Don't worry about the name of the island. PARADIS & PARADISE island 🏝 is the same. It's like PARIS, you can call it "PARI" (pronunciation)

Sasha's last words of meat (niku) might have actually been the first part of Nicolo's name, which is all kinds of sad on it's own.

[@houseofaction]

NO stop spouting this lie. its already been debunked the kanji used can only mean meat

[@hollowbastion9372]

When Sasha died she seems to have said "niku", meaning "meat". But it could also have been her trying to say "Nicolo".

[@AnthyMelange]

False. She said meat. If it was indicated she said something else, the subtitles would have shown it. I ship them too, but spreading false information gives shippers a really bad name. Leave it for the fanfics.

[@IceMaverick13]

I shake my head every time I see this theory endlessly pandered when it's so immediately debunked by just looking at the source material. Japanese isn't like English where words that are phonetically similar in sound might have potentially similar spellings as well. This is especially misleading since it's filtered through multiple layers of language-bias from text to audio if you're a Japanese non-speaker. The actual characters used by Japanese writing needed to spell "Meat" and "Nicolo" are in _entirely_ different *alphabets*. Isayama would've had to switch to an entirely different writing system than the one he used to imply that she said "Nico..." and got cut off in the middle of her dying breath. Instead he used the _Kanji_ for "meat" which has exactly _one_ way of writing it, pronouncing it, and no room for interpretation as being a part of another written word. If he wanted to imply something else, he could've written similar sounding characters in Katakana and left the reader to interpret the meaning behind the deliberate choice to use that alphabet and what word could've been implied by the characters written. Instead, he made the deliberate choice to use the Kanji, which leaves no real room for interpretation of meaning (not to mention the "ku" and "co" sounds are not at all similar in spoken Japanese). Unless Isayama comes out on public record and says something like "I was deliberately misleading when I wrote that", the idea doesn't hold any water. The only way to continue hopelessly clutching onto this theory is to shift the idea from "This word and part of another word sound similar" to "Isayama is a bad writer and didn't consider the subtleties of his own written language enough to realize that he could've written it a different way than he did in order to imply a double meaning". And anybody willing to switch to the latter idea is a mad-man in my eyes.

@@AnthyMelange If the subtitles would've shown his name it would've been an awkward spoiler. Isayama chose the name Nicolo just for the play on words with Meat.
