Why UNFAIR Fights Shape Attack on Titan - Overanalyzing Attack on Titan & Retrospective

[@Koroto]

Hey , so the video got slapped with a age-restriction for (I presume) the 5 second clip of taekwondo...??? KZbin doesn't promote age-restricted videos basically at all (minute-by-minute views dropped 90% 💀), so please share this around if you can ♥♥ But yeah, that's why there's a huge blurred screen for a few seconds in the middle of the video.

[@matercan5649]

It says it's still age restricted though.

[@Koroto]

Yeah, it takes 2 hours for them to slap it with a restriction, will probably take 5 days to resolve 💀💀 (edit: they just responded, they said 7 days 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀)

[@rambard5599]

So 5 seconds of Taekwondo is not cool, but huge humanoid creatures literally tearing each other apart is? What a world we live in.

[@badedit4624]

I remember first watching the reveal of Reiner and Berthold. I felt so gutted i actually felt betrayed as muc as Eren. Yes I did have my suspicions based on previous red flags, but I was actually fooling myself just because I really liked Reiner. What an amazing storytelling.

[@merentori]

Eren calling Reiner his hero is especially sad becausr thats all Reiner ever wanted to be, maybe not to the island devils, but "becoming a hero" is kind of like half his motivation

[@dozergames2395]

Damn never really thought if that He finally a acheived his goal and not just to eren the whole 104th looked up to him. Veiwed him fornhis own merit and fortitude and wanted nothing more than to be like him.😢😢 Ibwonder what would have happened has he decided to switch sides. To fight for Paradis

[@BertoPlease]

I love that you still use the "tangent about 60 episodes later" meme when the math ABSOLUTE doesn't add up anymore lmao

[@Koroto]

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[@NubK4]

What I find incredibly well done is how the roles of both Reiner and Eren reverse in season 4 when they fight. Here Eren's the one at a huge disadvantage because: A.) He was caught off guard by both Reiner and Bert's betrayls B.) He was relatively inexperienced in Titan VS Titan combat C.) He ended up losing We're basically rooting for Eren with everything we got But in S4 there's the roles of Reiner and Eren are fully reversed: A.) Reiner is caught off guard by the Scout's invasion of Marley B.) Reiner, although experienced, had lost the will to move forward, and his lack of will made him (In my opinion) weaker mentally during fights C.) Reiner ended up losing the battle in Marley So if we're still rooting for Eren's actions at this point, Isayama is basically pointing out at how we're, in essence, rooting for the same type of character we used to hate in S2 (S2 Reiner), only now he's the main character that we love and have followed for years, which makes Eren's betrayl of morals all the more painful to see unfold. Like I'd never have imagined in S2 that I'd be struggling to pick a side to root for in S4. The Eren VS Reiner fight was just me praying that neither died. The fact that this stood out for me just from the fights between Reiner and Eren shows how phenomenally Isayama and the directors are.

[@dawdeuce250]

On the surface I can see that argument making sense. However look deeper and there's an obvious reason most everyone was/is still on Erens side in season 4. Reiner/Marley attacked paradise unprovoked wereas Erens attack is to prevent the anticipated retaliation of Marley after there failed mission with the warriors.

[@MrMic_Makanaki]

What are you waffling about fam. Marley attacking Paradis is like the US attacking Present day Germany for the crimes of the Reich during the second world war, just because they fear they may be n.a.z.i.s amongst them. If you were in such a situation, you wouldn't rationalize the attack on you and your people. The people of Marley wouldn't have stopped at anything, until the eldian empire was completely wiped out. Eren saw all this during his stay in Marley. His hand was forced by the marleyans. And in the end he created a long lasting peace for the people he cared about the most

[@thrilla72]

Also Eren won every 1v1 he had with Reiner, he was about to rip Reiner out of his titan until Bertholdt fell on his head

[@zachrabaznaz7687]

​@@MrMic_MakanakiEren wiping just Marley is... terrible, but arguably justified, still monstrous. Eren wiping HALF OF HUMANITY is impossibly disgusting and completely unforgivable.

[@Tahkaullus01]

On point mate. The whole point of Attack on Titan is perspective. No one is right, no one is wrong, and anyone who wastes time on picking a side IRL is wasting their time.

[@makiroll218]

I love Hange!! When Eren makes that noise and nods at her and blushes cracks me up every time. Imagine if during his Titan training with her he was able to talk I bet she would have a damn heart attack 😂😂😂😂

[@faolanbrazil9918]

23:45 My interpretation of Annie vs. Mikasa flashback is that Annie's technique secured her victory, which shocked everyone as we are shown. The reason Eren thought about it was because it gave him the hope that he could rely on technique to overcome Reiners' overwhelming power. As for why it's a cliffhanger, I'm not sure. Perhaps Eren just didn't have time to think about the whole flashback, or maybe he doesn't like to think about Mikasa losing.

[@ihsahnakerfeldt9280]

I think the implication is that he was overcome by someone who was physically much weaker in terms of raw power (due to gender difference). I refuse to believe humanity's second strongest person lost to Annie. We're talking about an Ackermann here, a titan in human form.

[@kiffu94]

@@ihsahnakerfeldt9280 100% true titan in human form ppl forget to often.

This episode is so good! Your retrospectives are really helpful alongside a rewatch. First time watching this I was angry like Eren. The second time watching, after seeing Reiners back story, I was so sad. Such good story telling.

Bro, your work ethic is unmached! We appreciatie the videos!!

[@Koroto]

🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️

[@estebanjvidal]

I had a theory about the flashback, after watching season 4 "Memories of the future". Right after seeing the flashback, Eren tells himself, "Why I am remembering this now?" As if he was really on Rage mode and "someone" else made him remember a way to beat Reiner. My theory is that his Future self, sent memories of Annie's grappling techniques in order to "beat" Reiner, (in reality leading himself to be captured and revealing himself as the Coordinate/Founding titan in S2E12 "Scream".

[@jinsstyle]

Wait this is totally possible omg

[@manbat4582]

why send memories when he can just take control of him?

[@estebanjvidal]

@@manbat4582 this flashback happened on season 2 episode 7, and the 1st time he is able to control titans is at episode 12 when touching royal blood. What are you talking about?

I think the parallels between EMA & RBA are simply incredible, especially comparing how each of their stories play out.

[@mercyMEJ]

Really makes me wish for an alternate timeline where they're just two trios of best friends😢

[@69steezeWiz]

Honestly, I would have preferred if titan regeneration looked more like their bones and flesh were being made out of sand instead of "bifrost." Since we see Ymir in her dimension building the tians out of sand and water, it would be cool foreshadowing to suggest it's Ymir rebuilding her creations.

[@VERGILGASM]

Yeah, but the lightning "bifrost" effect is to symbolize that she is rebuilding the titans through the paths

[@EmissaryOfSmeagol]

I've always thought that *insta-materialize* and *insta-vanish* were built Colossal Titan powers. These powers would be especially beneficial for the Colossal specifically, and we never really see these with any other Titans. We see so few other instances of the Colossal besides Bertholdt, who was said to be particularly proficient with this Titan, so we don't have a whole lot of data.

17:53 "Irregardless" is technically a word, but it's a double negative: 'ir'- The opposite of (irreplaceable, irreversible) 'regard'- consider '-less'- To be have reduced or undone quantities of (heartless, penniless) Some words to use instead in this context are "disregarding that" or simply "regardless"

[@PredicateCapeThe21St]

I recently started another watchthrough of AoT with my dad and maybe for the first time noticed that Bertholt took Ymir AND the other soldier and was just so confused when I spotted it, so ty for pointing it out and explaining why it was, really caught me off guard and that's after watching it at least 3-4 times I wanna say lol.

[@pszymek4220]

same lol, i was confused why it was shown and never mentioned who was also captured alongside Ymir, also koroto surprised me that it was just for the sake of odm gear it was that sinple and i just couldnt get to the answer

[@jinsstyle]

Same. I was so confused when in the next episode Bert uses an ODM gear. After his explanation I realized that's why he took that man😭

[@josesosa3337]

I'm at the 22 minute mark, and in a way, I think Isayama intended for Annie and Mikasa to be slight reflections of each other. 1. Both are strong women 2. Both hate and/or don't care about their government 3. Both Annie and Mikasa fight for a man they care about who isnt blood related to them. 4. Mikasa has similar hair to annie in titan form 5. Both threw riener to the floor during training.

[@qelipothaumiel]

His voice is so soothing bros. I always listen to these videos when I travel, shower and eat.

[@Koroto]

Glad you’ve enjoyed it! ❤️ Plenty more coming very (very) soon 👀

[@Slival_]

The point about the cg being deliberately used to make something stick out is something i have thought for a loooong time; specifically in Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood when Envy goes all out. I felt like the cg usage was very deliberate to show "yeah, this guy is fucked up looking, and very disconcerting"

[@Crazy1Girl1Riders]

I remember the theories in school, that titans where another race, that they we're evolving and so human/titan hydrids were appearing. There was so much going and when we finally got this, it was just perfect.

[@canonogic]

The Japanese voice acting for that "You damned traitors" ALWAYS gives me goosebumps

[@eggsma]

I’m just getting to the part where you talk about the scene of eren nodding at Hange’s order/plan and it’s a scene that always gets me too cus I would be right there with them !! I’m standing on the shoulder of this giant and telling him a plan and he nods !! He understood the plan and is agreeing to do it!!! like what?!! that is literally the coolest thing ever !!! Whether the plan works or not it’s just the fact that this literal giant believed in me that much to do it !! 😂

[@josesosa3337]

Connecting the fire giants in norse myth to the colossal titans, or just all titans being hot and steamy is very clever.

[@atterrionkazan3078]

Gday again. I always found the whole reveal sequence incredibly jarring - almost haunting. The reveal gives me shivers whenever I rewatch it, and yet I feel like it overshadows the tie up of this arc of the story. Its really good, and in hindsight it gives us a ton of hints about Marley and the world, but the reveal overshadows it. Not to mention, the music is absolutely insane. The OST going all out once again.

[@kamy9232]

The grappling/Jiu Jitsu in this episode is actually quite good aswell.

[@notnotandrew]

I'm looking forward to your eventual analysis of the scene with Grisha and Kruger atop the walls on Paradis. I haven't yet found anyone else that has noticed this, but there's a brief flashback in that episode to Eren sitting atop the walls talking to Kruger (this is presumably where Kruger learns of Armin and Mikasa). Of course, when initially watching the show, there's no way you'd understand it, and it would probably go completely unnoticed since it only appears for a couple frames, but it blatantly shows one of the biggest twists in the show, which would only come to light years later in episode 79.

[@Saphirakii]

finally ive always wanted a bit more recognition for Mikasa's reflection about Reiner and Berthold. She's never been given too many moments with other characters that show her humanity. She has a few comedic moments with the girls and then it's just "i don't care about anyone else but Eren", like how she even threatens Historia and Ymir later. Albeit that was after this occurrence. Regardless, those expressions of the two cut way deeper than her blades did. The looks of terror and fear of her once-comrades. It humanizes them but also Mikasa, because for all her tough talk she still cared.

[@wuhhlfarg5578]

That's the one thing we're i believe his analysis is dead wrong Mikasa tried to behead both of them but couldn't because both sacrificed their arms to stop the lethal attack And Mikasa later is dead focused on killing them I that moment Mikasa didn't care about them and was only focused on killing them She even tried to finish bertholdt off once he was on the ground

[@jacobpenton3132]

Let's appreciate the fact that future Eren travelled in time to show past Eren the training with Annie to remind him he knows how to fight titans

[@AM12399]

i'm pretty sure eren has some line that's something like "I'm sure that no one in the history of the world has been as terrible as reiner and burrito >:(" that i always found interesting. bc while it's perfectly understandable that he thinks that, it will turn out to be completely off the mark as there is a bigger evil behind them=evil racist marley government/army that ordering child soldiers to commit war crimes and ofc eren turned out even worse than reiner and burrito :I

[@Chukz05]

yh hearing eren say knowing he is about to commit genocide, probably the most evil thing a person could ever do just hurts.

[@lyme1030]

Biggest mystery here is how Ymir survived being boiled for quite a while and then having the colossal with it's weight dropdown on her... Jokes aside, this is one of my favorite episodes, could make it to the top 10, just pure BLISS to rewatch!

[@Joshua-vo4dz]

[@Omen06]

One thing I wanna point out that no one talks about. Reiner just had a mental breakdown. Given that, there is no chance he’s fighting at 100% right now due to his mental state. He was almost certainly holding back during this fight due to guilt and not wanting to hurt someone he so recently was friends with. This can be proven by comparing this fight with their Round 2 fight in Shinganshina. Despite Eren learning how to harden his fists, he still fights evenly against a “healthy” Reiner in this fight. Compared to Round 1, Eren actually has the upper hand against Reiner even without his hardening.

Just one thing about "Lost Girls" and by that extend about "No Regrets": While they were not written by Isayama, they are approved by him and are more or less confirmed by him to be canon We see in the Manga not only Isabel and Furlan appear in one of the "The dead Soldiers looking to us"-Scene (when Levi learns in the Fortress that Eren betrayed them, while he was watching over Zeke) and the scene, where Erwin convinces Levi to join him fully, is also briefly redrawn by Isayama during Erwins reflection-scene in the "Return to Shiganshina"-Arc Also, we first learn that Annie broke the leg of her father during Lost Girls, which was later confirmed by Mr Leonhardts first appearance and by Annie talking to Hitch.

I think the Norse mythology analysis in this video was some of the better content I’ve seen from one of your videos. The allusion to Ragnarok and the destruction of the Bilröst therein by ‘fire giants’ was such a good catch. I really do wish you would stop apologizing for overanalyzing though man. It’s literally the name of the series, but you spend an inordinate amount of time saying ‘I admit that that might be a stretch’ or something of the like every video. Like, either commit to the analysis or don’t. If you think it shouldn’t have been in the video, don’t make the point. You can edit your scripts! Still, I generally appreciate this series.
