During the Shiganshina ambush, Zeke's Beast Titan repeatedly rubs its long pointed ears. Only Eren and Grisha's Attack Titans had been shown to have pointed ears, revealing their familial connection.

[@intraserv3123]

Also, when both Zeke and Eren control Titans, the eyes of the titans they control go red. You can see this when Zeke spawns the titan army outside Shiganshima and when Eren touches Dina Fritz' titan, the titans around him get red eyes and attack. This does not happen when Annie uses her similar ability.

Also something interesting- the Plague in Shinganshina was most likely unknowingly started by Grisha as he brought Germs from the outside world to Paradis, who didnt have antibodies to those germs. It was similar to how the Spanish brought a plague to the Native Americans.

This video is soo amazing man! Looking back at all of these details, issyama is a genius. My brain is stuck for this show I wish they could just release the complete show already instead of teasing us each Sunday. But that what makes it good, its pacing is like what a child has to wait for each Friday when toonami aired. They give you that little dopamine drop and expose the rest of the story when the hype can be contained no more! It’s great marketing honestly like dragonball this series will always be remembered in my opinion. It’s the small details that we haven’t even learned yet, that I hope get revealed. Like Onyankopons lands are they like Africa or the Caribbean. Or how in the last video the can of freaking herring omg what a foreshadowing. I could have cared less for yimirs character but that is what strengthens her. One last thing what language do they speak is now my biggest question. Is eldian like English or Hebrew like Yiddish. So many questions. I’ve also been an active watcher of the anime, since 2013 my freshmen year. I should have read some of the manga online I can’t afford manga.

What damages the reveal is the middle card in that episode about Ymir's hometown being "definitely outside of the walls".

[@2010narutovssasuke]

Bro, I have a crazy theory on what that story's REALLY hinting to but read this *ONLY IF YOU'RE CAUGHT UP IN THE ANIME (SEASON 4, EP 5)......... Before I start, I would like to disclaim that I'm an *ANIME ONLY VIEWER* who's completely caught up to the current episode atm (Season 4, Episode 9). So we know that the Walls are made up of Colossal Titans and that King Fritz, who possessed the Founding Titan, made a deal and took some people with him to Paradis. With that said, we don't know how they got to Paradis but I am positive that they didn't have any giant ships that were strong enough to carry enough people to fill out all 3 Walls of Paradis. There also wouldn't be any aircrafts, so how would they get there? (I answer this later) So once the miner dug to Wall Sina's foundation (keep this word in mind), he couldn't dig through the sides so he went straight down. Then he broke his shovel on this "bedrock" underneath him. Here's the fun part: we can all guess that the "bedrock" is actually titan hardening crystal, since it's capable of breaking blades without even receiving a scratch. We know that the Colossals didn't use hardening because you can see the face of the one from the hole Annie in the wall, so where would it come from? Answer: *underneath them* Remember when I asked how King Fritz transported them to Paradis? My answer to that would be that he used his Founding Titan form to carry everyone. In fact, I theorize that the foundation (remember this word) of Paradis Island, or at least the diameter of Wall Maria, is the Founding Titan's hardened body. I believe the miner actually found the husk of the Founding Titan, from which King Fritz hardened and ejected from similar to how Eren did when he plugged Wall Maria and shielded the Scouts as Rod Reiss was transforming in Season 3. Bonus: I would guess that the Founding Titan's power is the creation of Titans, hence the name. With that, it would make sense that King Fritz created the army of Colossal Titans that became the Walls. But I'm not as sure about this part as I am about everything else above this though.

[@darthcaliginous2066]

a detail i noticed is when Mikasa asked Annie to spar Annie says its only for normal people, she also refers to Mikasa as a beast, this is because Ackermans are damn near superhuman and Annie Bertholdt and Reiner knew they would probably face an Ackerman, Everyone in Marley knew the strength of the Ackermans but still thought what was said about them was a Myth. Zeke thought it was a myth too til he faced Levi.

[@samuraic7325]

One thing that bugged me was how unrealistic ODM gear is. A normal person would either pass out or break their spine trying to fly around with it. But then I remembered that they're Eldians and the founding titan can do whatever it wants with their bodies. It's likely that Eldians are naturally stronger then normal humans. It explains how Hannes was able to stop the smiling titans swing, how little connie was able to lift Mr O, why Sasha and Miche had insane senses of hearing and smell, and how they can use ODM gear but Marleyeans can't after 4 years, 2 pieces to practice with, and Reiner who's experienced with it.

Like YEARS and MANY chapters later, Blackbeard is looking to be an endgame character.

At 15:18, the mini story about the walls reaching so far down, I connected that back to a point of “It foreshadows the origin of the Walls and the Wall Titans about them and their approximate height.”

[@Robert_H.]

*Foreshadowing about information from the last two episodes in Season 1, 2 and 3* In Episode 1: In one of the very first scenes of the series Eren sees several visions of future events through the Coordinate e.g. Colossal Titan breaking down the wall, his mom's death, hannes's death, ... (and more). The awful nasty "To be continued" screen has been showing Paradis Island, the continent and the waters between them since the first episode. In Episode 9: Eren remembers how to transform into a titan with no instruction copying the method that Frieda used, seen in episode 43. In addition, Grisha tells Eren to save Mikasa and Armin just as Eren Kruger told Grisha the same thing years ago. In Episode 29 (2 x 4): After titans are found within all rows a group of scouts spend the night at an old castle. Thescouts mentioned that someone has been stying in the castle recently and they assumed to be bandits. The supplies are labeld in a language that is different from the language within the walls. The supplies left at the castle were left by the beast titan. Ymir finds also a can labeled as herring which is a salt water fish. This confirms that the outside world has access to the ocean and commercial fishing. It also means that the outside world is developed enough to manufacture cans. In Episode 34 (2 x 9): Ymir refers to the Beast Titan as a monkey. Eren, however, does not seem to know what a monkey is. According to this, monkeys must live outside the walls. In Episode 35 (2 x 10): Most people will understandably assume that the hometown Reiner keeps mentioning is a small village. When Ymir and her followers are arrested the soldiers aren't wearing uniforms similar to anything we see within the walls. This means Ymir's hometown is large enough to have its own military force. In addition, Reiner Bertholdt reminded them that they only have a few years to live. A small reference to the 13-year cycle. In Episode 36 (2 x 11): Bertholdt calls Armin "spawn of the devil". The ending of season 2 is no different than the visualisation of the history books of the last episode, except that more pages of the untold history behind Eldia are shown. In Episode 43 (3 x 6): Uri Reiss was Rod Reiss' younger brother. Seen in flashbacks and also addressed by Kenny, Uri looked very old with white hair just before the ceremony when he gave his power to Frieda. The power is also said to have been passed down through several generations over the 100 years. This is also a hint to the 13-year cycle. In Episode 48 (3 x 11): Grisha was able to save the town from a plague and was thought of as a miracle doctor. Using his knowledge of germ through an early 1900s medicine, he was able to put a stop to the plague. Moreover, Grisha had to hand over his Titan power to Eren because his 13 years were almost over. In Episode 49 (3 x 12): We see Marley mass manufacturing titan injections, a device that Hanji says is far more advanced than anything else she has seen. While waiting on top of the wall for the scouts to come, Reiner and Bertholdt are wearing world war one era boots. Later in episode 52, Zeke is seen wearing these same boots. In Episode 50 (3 x 13): We see the warrioors drinking atop the wall. Armin later finds their drinks but he doesn't know what it is that they were drinking. What they were drinking becomes obvious when we look at their campsite which has an antique coffee grinder. In episode 29 we see a similar coffee grinder. Since coffee beans only grow in tropical areas and they are not present inside the walls (neither in the training, nor in flashbacks or throughout the story), we can assume that they were grown and farmed outside the walls. In Episode 54 (3 x 17): The Beast Titan talks about baseball, a sport that was only invented in the late 19th century. Inside the walls, we have only seen early 19th century technology, with the exception of the 3D manoeuvre Gear. Moreover, throughout the story, we have been told that new technologies were suppressed or kept secret by the government, such as the thunder speers or balloons (Armin's parents tried to escape with one, flashback in 3 x 2). *Foreshadowing about the warriors in Season 1 and 2* In Episode 3: The warriors, Ymir and those who witness the titans firsthand are the only recruits ignored by the instructor. When Eren talks about the Colossal Titan the camera cuts to Bertholt. When he talks about the Armored Titan it cuts to Reiner. In Episode 7: During the battle of Trost, Reiner and Annie discuss when to break down the inner gate. ("Not yet. We have to let them gather first.") In Episode 8: After he sees Eren's Titan, Reiner tries to find out what the others know about it. Reiner and Annie are the first to speak up in support for rescuing the titan. In Episode 10: Reiner panics when he realizes that Eren might have been killed. Bertholt and Annie immediately follow him when goes to look. In Episode 13: Annie apologizes to her victims in Trost. In Episode 16: During the inspection Armin notices that Annie is using Marco's gear. Reiner and Bertholt are shown to be overly interessted when Erwin talks about Eren's basement. In Episode 17: After seeing his face the Female Titan spares Armin. As Armin gets closer to the truth, Reiner starts to get nervous. Later he tries to gather information on Eren's position within the formation. After being spread a second time, Armin realizes that the Female Titan is Annie (He suddenly opened his eyes wide). To test out his theory he calls Eren by his old nickname that only their friends would know ("suicidal maniac"). The Female Titan then stopped. Reiner uncovers his face so that Annie can see him before pretending to attack her. She smiles at this. After leaving a message for Annie where Eren likely is, Reiner escapes. Annie immediately heads in the direction that Armin suggested to Reiner. In Episode 18: After volunteering to stay behind due to losing his horse, Armin is going to tell Reiner to deliver a message to Erwin that the Female Titan is Annie. Luckily he was interrupted or Reiner might have acted to prevent the truth from getting out. In Episode 21: During the fight Eren realizes that the Female Titan is Annie because of her unique fighting stance. Eren begins to say her name before he is decapitated. in Episode 26 (2 x 01): Reiner is rightfully confused as to how the wall could be broken. Reiner and Bertholt volunteer to investigate the breach with Connie. In Episode 28 (2 x 03): Reiner tries to keep Connie from figuring out that his mom became the titan. Connie and Ymir notice Reiner and Bertholt's strange reaction to seeing the Beast Titan. In Episode 29 (2 x 04): Ymir does the same thing as Reiner and tries to keep Connie from figuring out that his mom became the titan. Reiner gets suspicous when he realizes that Ymir can read the can. Reiner gets a flashback to an event from five years ago that he didn't tell about in episode 3. He never mentioned the person who saved him. In Episode 30 (2 x 05): We see that Reiner and Bertholt had a very memorable encounter with Ymir's Titan. Bertholt prepares to transform to save his own life when the tower starts to tilt (wants to bite his hand). The terms warrior and soldier are brought up a number of times: Episode 4: [Annie] "Anyway, I refuse to be stupid enough to play "Soldier" in this inane world." [Reiner] "Looks like you're not much of a warrior at all." Episode 22: [Annie] "I'm a failed warrior." Episode 28: The dialogue between Reiner, Connie and Bertholt about soldier and warrior. The character's positioning in the second opening and ending hinted their allegiances. Fun Fact: In season 1, 2 and 3, there are about as many references to revelations in the forth season.

6:18 but how did the Reiss family get the injections? Could the Reiss family have been in contact with an ally outside the walls providing them with syringes and titan serum? Syringes were invented in 1844 which means they couldn't have already had them. In addition, the writing on the armor bottle Eren drank from is definitely written using the Marleyan writing system, and I believe Eren could read it because the ability was passed down to him from his dad as a memory.

[@MintyDragonfly]

The Marleyans were using syringes of spinal fluid for a long time it seems to punish Eldians and turn them into pure titans, the king who created the walls probably took that with him and used his knowledge of the outside world to continue creating them, passing that down to his descendants. I don’t know if we’ve been officially told just how long the Marleyans have been turning Eldians into pure titans but considering war has historically been one of the driving forces of innovation it’s very likely that the invention of syringes within that world happened as a direct result of war since titans were how said was was being waged. Plus Ymir was a Titan for over 60 years before she ate the warriors’ friend, so it stands to reason they’ve been around at least as long as the great Titan war.

Not sure if anyone's pointed this out yet. About the two birds from the beginning of Episode 1, they've also made a brief cameo in the first fight between Eren and Reiner as the Armored Titan in Season 2. After Reiner's hand was torn off, he began charging into Eren and smashing him against the walls. And just as he was about to do so, those same birds were seen flying in Eren's direction, just beside Reiner. While it foreshadows the story taking place on an island, it also hinted at the outside world rather perfectly and a future event: 1. The Titan shifters menacing the island come from a military unit of a foreign country, who are on a mission to infiltrate the walls and steal the protagonist's power. (The birds flying with Reiner represent Marley supporting the Warriors on their mission). 2. The island the story takes place in is a penal colony claimed by that country, trapping and oppressing the remnants of an old, evil empire with what was once their most feared weapon: Titans. (The birds flying towards the walls represent the outside world keeping the Eldians in the walls from making out). 3. The Revenge on Liberio: If the Titans shifters fail their mission, the outside world will eventually step in to raid the island. (Like the birds flying in Eren's direction, Airships will be flying over the walls to deploy their troops, all fighting to defeat Eren).

I get goosebumps every time I watch Eren Kruger say ‘Whose memories are those?’

[@meiyo282]

just when i finished the first one i came here and here it is love to see it

[@snailthelostcow63]

I’m more impressed at how the anime is able to adapt it as detailed as possible to the point you don’t even have to use any of the manga panels And if you told me it was Eren who controlled the anime production I would believe that

[@burst_lbruh9954]

that fucking... coffee grinder... the greatest attention to detail. We should've noticed.

[@justindesmond4457]

The amount of details and forshadowing is insane. I find it hard to believe Isayama planned all this from the very beginning

[@bootydemolisher321]

3:49 hold on.. is that dr xaver??? manga readers know what I'm talking about

[@syngrion5962]

Yes. That's Mr. Ksaver

[@homelessme1]

I'm so glad I came across your videos, you picked up on so many hidden pieces I'm in shock!!!!

[@Owlytimewitme___]

amazing the details i now realize were always well connected thanks for showing us and i think your way of putting the clip with the episode number was amazing

[@itsmesteve1081]

Foreshadowing is how commander erwin told Levi to not regret in "no regret" ova or else you let other people make your decisions for you and all that's left for you to do is die. And then in season 3 episode 16 erwin started to regret his decisions letting his comrades die for his own reasons (trying to prove his father's hypothesis was correct). So then Levi told him "im making the decision". He told erwin to lead the scout regiment in to hell and in to his own death. Now THAT is foreshadowing

8:58 Reiner came in clutch here, would’ve sucked for Eren if Ymir spoiled the story for him.

Holy crap! I must’ve missed like at least 40% of these, the attention to detail for subtle things like Baseball and Cofee is astonishing! Wow. This show is brilliant. I mean honestly words cannot express. It might be the best series ever made and with Season 4 being strong and the upcoming part 2 of it being even better it’s gonna be in the history books and won’t be forgotten for a long long time.
