Marco’s last words, “we haven’t even talk this through yet” resonate within me as he was my favourite character. I will aspire to always hear people’s side of the story, and be more like him from now on and so forth.

[@J_Sovereign]

I often wonder was that done intentionally, those words are kind of a theme for where the story has developed to now, armin has often suggested doing such a thing in various parts of the story but it’s always trumped by the others acting off of their own impulses usually fear or anger

[@isamadanthumathuigeanntueseo]

@@J_Sovereign i believe so, i think that is was to represent the circle of hatred, revenge and power that resides in many of isayama’s characters; how it can manipulate those who fail to see that it will continue should they go down the same path as those that preceded them. i believe that isayama’s intention was to tell us that unless someone puts a stop the violence, the events to occur will only be the same as those before.

[@J_Sovereign]

@@isamadanthumathuigeanntueseo well said, and I agree….and it’s also one of those things that hit close to home for most people that hatred only breeds more hatred , it’s such a real life philosophy that has plagued our world for eon’s , that could be a reason too that Marco’s death resonates so well

Marco literally had the most impactful idea in AoT that people in that universe don’t understand. They just have to talk & understand. Something Paradi eldians & the rest of the world never did.

[@aryanverma8344]

This dude gave Jean a reason to join Survey Corps, gave Reiner split personality, gave Annie and Bertholdt guilt that almost broke them, because of his gear Annie was caught and because of Annie, Reiner and Bertholdt were caught. So yeah despite having less screen time this guy had a huge impact on the story if it weren't from maybe warriors would've succeeded.

[@aryanverma8344]

@Shadow Gamer yeah it have minor spoilers that will ruined your anime experience so don't watch any aot video untill you get all catch up. And it only contains anime spoilers not manga as I am an anime only too.

[@jaan08011]

In one of the most recent episodes when they were rescued, Onyakopon asks Jean why he didn’t stay and enjoy a lavish lifestyle. Jean answered “If I did, those ashy bones would never forgive me”… What strikes me was how the last time Jean ever saw of Marco were his remains being cremated, some of which were presumably Marco’s being held in his hand, and to this day that still leaves such an enormous impact on him. Jean had the freedom to choose and stay behind, and he still had conflicts, but it was ultimately the potential Marco saw in him that motivated Jean to grow and live with purpose. You’d think that Marco died in vain, yet he ended up bringing the best out of Jean, and breaking Reiner to the point of suicide (yet he can still be redeemable) Such a great character.

[@omnid.slayer7244]

It is unbelievably mindblowing how this show makes even the dead people have so much impact to the story.Their lines hold so much meaning and truth to them Marco died in season ONE that was in real life nine years ago and his words were one if not THE most meaningful and logical words out of every character in the series

Marco would have been the King of talk no jutsu in AOT, and saved tons of bloodshed. "Eren, you are angry because you had to watch your mother get eaten in front of you. In turn, you have gone about trying to save everybody because you couldn't save her. But no matter what you do, you can't bring her back. It's okay, sometimes bad things happen to us. We don't have to live in fear that it will happen again, and go and kill everybody else in the world just to feel safe. In attempt to save everyone you care about, you end up pushing them all away by harming them... by letting this fear change you" - Marco, probably. Eren - "Oh shit, that makes sense." (Doesn't become a giant D towards Mikasa and Armin, and uses his Titan powers to broker peace while enjoying life and meaningful relationships)

[@aliin8763]

It's also worth mentioning how big of an impact Marco's death had on Jean's character. He's the whole reason Jean chose to join the survey corps or why he became a leader role. Often before he makes decisions he thinks of what Marco would think about it, like we saw last episode. And they often make references to Jean still missing him, like kissing the very hand he held Marco's ashes in before fighting the female titan (i think it was the episode 'female titan'?), i really liked that detail.

Marco has been my biggest love, when I noticed his friendship with Jean I knew he was going to play a big role(didn’t think he’d die tho). So sad that he was a fallen soldier, he was so kind and level headed, very much like Armin. When his death happened in trost I really though it was just another unimportant titan kill that was bestowed to lots of other characters during the battle, but knowing how IMPORTANT it was, he was there by mere fate and unluckily enough to overhear. He didn’t deserve it and he definitely would’ve still been alive if it weren’t for the 3, he was one of the top ten cadets, he had the skills just like our favorites. I think about him every day (Edit: I commented before I completely watched the video, so yes I agree 100%)

[@mercuriology45]

Don’t do Bertholdt like that, he deserves as much sympathy as people do it with Annie and Reiner. The little screen time he had, he was one of the best written characters with the most potential. Out of all of the warriors he was given the less time to shine, but that doesn’t make him less tragic than the others, he didn’t want to kill innocents. If we are being honest the one with less empathy out of all of the warriors was probably Annie.

They really not, Annie has no sympathy for anyone in my opinion.

[@sanzharzaitenov5268]

Because Zeke did it "for Eldians"

[@handlerone5172]

I'm ready for this conversation. Zeke didn't just kill Scouts, he killed Connie's entire village and parts of other countries all for the purpose of making his own people celibate. Zeke has yet to show any remorse for killing not only his own people, but betraying people who trusted him as well. He also is not his own person. His dream is all he is and without it, Zeke is nothing. Annie has guilt. She listened to Armin and Hitch along with others chastise her and probably threaten her life. It is deserved mind you, but when she finally is out she is reminded of the evil she's done and look where it got her. Trapped in a crystal and now the only family she has is going to die with the rest of the world. Also, she is just as brainwashed as Gabi and the rest of them. People can forgive Annie because she was being groomed from birth by her dad to be a Warrior. Again, that does not excuse her actions. But she explains to Hitch she does feel bad for what she's done. She wants to change for the better. That coming from the girl that stomped on Scouts and tossed them around is a huge character moment but people can't see that because they have so much hate for a character they haven't even seen in four years. The whole point of the story is to look beyond your hate for someone to see who they really are. Annie is not a monster she BECAME a monster like Armin, Levi, Erwin, need I say more?

If they returned without accomplishing the mission, they would be fed to the next shifters.

Man this video cuts deep, Marco was immediately the character who I gravitated towards when I first watched AoT, that background guy who still did his part and made a positive impact on the people around him. He was just a genuine guy like Falco and not many others, so when he died I was absolutely devastated, and still am to this day. Ended up making Erwin my next favourite and we all know how well that went..... But to have videos like this, and to have flashbacks to him this season, especially this latest episode really gives me closure and happiness to know that not only are people like Marco and Erwin not forgotten, but they are still relevant and their lives and deaths have such a real impact on the people and world around them. It's great. Their deaths had meaning. This latest episode has to be one of my favourites this season just for the respect that it has for current and past characters.

[@mjustice34]

I couldn't agree more with this entire summary. Marco was an extremely underrated character by so many due to his death so early in the series. I made a lot of speculations myself, contemplating "What If" he had never met such an unfortunate death, he never had to in the first place.I think with his ability to keep such a level head in the face of adversity he could have very well been even a bigger character like another "Erwin Smith" that no one saw coming. All of these characters changed so much throughout the series. I seriously believe we could have very well seen a "Captain or Commander Boht".....What's say you?

What's interesting is how how Marco's death is so strikingly similar to Marcel's, and this is part of why Rainer takes it so hard, as he was friends with both, and was largely responsible for both. In many ways both of their deaths shaped not only Rainer, Annie, and Bertholdt, but also the story at large.

[@MrDude826]

I think Marco would have become a leader in the Capital by Season 4 after all the coups. He would have tried to talk to Marley to prevent war and AoT would have been a much shorter story and the Rumbling wouldn't have happened.

[@weirdart1638]

Actually it would NOT matter because most political leaders and the public don't even recognize eldians as humans especially the ones on paradise island and lastly during the four years the scouts tried to find peace solutions but found nothing while the rumbling is pretty much the only trump card the eldians have considering their poor military and ancestral reputations

[@ClassyNachosDeluxe]

I'm super late, but you're kinda wrong about the rumbling. The rumbling was always destined to happen, even when eren was a little kid. Moreover, eren legit said that he tried EVERYTHING to prevent the rumbling from happening. You're right about Marco being a leader, but the rumbling would make no difference on this scenario if this happened.

[@MYMAINWHYTRY]

Marco deserved to be relevant for 10 years

[@oilcubebottle6389]

What?

[@JustJulyo]

Marco really out here affecting the AoT timeline more so than Eren lol

[@viponly5372]

another fine video sir! appreciate the content

[@flupox1]

I never realized there was so much hate for Bertholdt lmfao

[@kelvindavis881]

Marco’s death was sooo 😢😭

[@tbknick6703]

When watching the episode i immediatly started thinking about this too. I genuinly think marco is the most influential character in the whole of aot bc of ONE LINE and i think thats awesome!!

[@goose5761]

why would the warriors have joined the scouts if Marco lived? I think the real hypothetical would be, what if they didn't catch him and he was able to tell the rest of the team what was really going on.

[@alexspringer7666]

I specifically looked for a video about this as I believe Marco's death isn't just an important death in the show, but I think one of the most important events that ever happen on it. How delighted I am to click and see that not only is there a video covering this, but that SeaTactics made it.

[@Iannaluna]

I LOVE THESE ANALYSES. You're so incisive and properly connect so many dots crucial to understanding the characters and the overall story. Marco's impact still resounds thoughout the whole story, and is still strong enough as to motivate Jean... he can even do that in death. Jean's leadership was born of Marco's honesty and friendship, his decision to join the SC even. Marco was key to modern Jean's portrayal. I also feel like Hanji had a role in this too... They too were faced with these doubts and made them seem normal to Jean, to a point where Hanji achieved convincing him of the need of an alliance, but most importantly to fight genocide. I really hope you do one of these about Hanji! Their character is so underrated, yet they rose up to the situation and formed the alliance, but I feel like they don't get any credit for this. And they've had such great character development, that I don't understand how they're not more valued. When they did their speech on how genocide is wrong and thought about all their fallen comrades, it was such a commander moment.

[@trashcan5359]

We all Stan jeans husband lmao

[@ashcrow1356]

Wait, I'm confused about all that shit-talking on Bertholdt. Care to explain?

[@wolfscythespk]

Marco be getting that Speedwagon Recognition!

[@kl1868]

Eren even said he wants to join a squad where marco is the leader of

[@AlekleahZ]

Almost makes you wonder if Isayama always wanted Marco to be among our main cast but just nearly missed the cut, his close friendship with Jean, who Isayama is also very fond of as a character and how his death continues to impact the characters, it really does feel like he should've been alongside the main crew all the way up to now.

[@FaeFancy]

Tbh Marco was my favorite character, when he died i started crying for the whole night, it could have been different. I was happy to see one scene of him in season 4 though. I balled my eyes out.

[@thetropicgal947]

Great video, but I did not agree with the way you speak of Bert. It misses the point of the anime. There is no black and white, all characters had their reasons and indoctrination to do what they did (in the context of AOT).

[@iDysania]

Gotta admit I cried so hard having to watch how he died. I was already sad when he died . Like man my heart strings

[@DimSnowBunny]

Marco actually did believe the conversation between Reiner and bertolt because at that point he had already seen Erin turn into a Titan. He just played it off like he didn't believe them. He was on his way to tell the others whenever they killed him.

[@useroftheinternet4410]

Love the vids

[@SeaTactics]

Thanks! I appreciate the compliment!

[@na7ian199]

My guy was dead for like 2-3 season and still gets screen time

[@santiagomacedosanchez7400]

He’s death was so sad for me, when I saw the new ep, I broke down 😔💔

[@gsiddiquee1727]

Love him and your videos bro

[@friskalicious3666]

I love how betoburitto constantly gets shat on throughout various sections of this video.

[@thedaraf9979]

The Bertoltd hate and the pronunciation of everything pains me

[@artfire28]

I didn't know Marco graduated top 7th from boot camp. Thanks for the reminder.

[@mrkaji8913]

He also has the dub voice of kaneki

[@Residentevilfan1989]

In AOT Junior High Marco becomes class president.

[@josku3803]

Oof an awesome video but the way ya called my dear Bert boy hit the nerve. Bert is pretty much one of my fav characters, a really well written one and didn’t deserve any of the stuff he went thru

[@thomaskiggins6850]

Bertholdt hate is corny as hell if we're honest. But otherwise great points, I definitely underappreciated Marco's impact

[@CarterPSN]

Poor Marco. 😢

[@TfameYT]

The slander of bertholdt is uncalled for😂

[@lovely1641]

"...overhears Reiner and that thing" Lmao
