YMIR'S PAST REVEALED! | Attack on Titan Season 2 Reaction with my Girlfriend | Ep 10 "Children"

[@LettsReact]

Which anime should we watch next???

[@notarno1d602]

not anime but would highly Arcane, its amazing But for animes Code geass Mob Physco 100 Demon Slayer My hero Academia FMA:B

[@bakthihapuarachchi3447]

Code Geass and Naruto

[@GoatLuffy_97]

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood

[@misssecre]

my suggestion would be hero academia, code geass, re zero or haikyuu

[@afan-lun6049]

Demon slayer prob it’s not too long

Ymir going from not even being given a name is season 1 to one of the most interesting characters of season 2 really shows how strong the writing of this show is.

[@ac30024]

I think her character sucked tbh despite her being a jaw titan. Not to mention her titan form design looked basic af.

[@thisstuffisdumb]

she is literally a meaningless character in the story as a whole, tho

[@theprisonerofthegoldenhead4030]

I'd say Reiner is still the most interesting to me.

[@pvrify]

@@thisstuffisdumb How? her eating marcel was incredibly important to the story

[@thisstuffisdumb]

@@pvrify What moved Reiner's arc was the fact Marcel got killed, not who killed. In that way she is way more pointless than Marco and Marcel. Her relationship with Historia pretty much dies with her, Historia was also a throw away character in the end. Her titan is just relevant for a single scene. She is a plot device, not a character.

[@Marta-uv4id]

Ymir waking up from being a Titan for 60 years paired with the stunning animation and music is one of the most beautiful moments in the anime.

[@alexinator-hh5fe]

This entire season but especially this episode cemented Ymir as one of my favorite characters of the series. The OST, the beauty of her waking up and finding herself free and deciding to try to finally live for herself instead of for other people and sticking to a set path, it's all so amazing. But even when she tries to be selfish, we see instances of her encouraging Sasha to be who she is, regardless of how others see her, distracting Connie from thinking about his family, saving Daz, saving everyone in the tower, and even trying to save all those people in her flashback. No matter how much she tries to make herself seem selfish, she always helps other people and puts them before herself. And that's honestly so beautiful.

[@erickmartinez2211]

Can we appreciate Ymir’s voice actor she fits Ymir so well

[@zoedoocey4496]

“The first thing I saw was freedom” Man that hits different now with knowledge of the whole series...

[@dan_-cn3jh]

Fun fact (also kind of a spoiler but idk): - The blonde woman that appears in Ymir's flashback is the talking titan that appears in the Ilse's Diary OVA.

[@assmassm3276]

Ya they haven't watched the OVA's yet. Heard its gonna get dubbed in 2022. Hope they watch it that time.

[@Eve_25]

I felt really sorry for her

[@rikbartels9076]

In the sub Reiner says to Berthold about him and Annie: You are both murderers with short lives ahead. Which just blew me away on my second watch since it went totally over my head the first time.

[@MarianFK]

This is one of the risks of the dub job in anime; since the full story isn't out yet, you can't know if a small change in wording to fit the lenght in your language will affect the actual intended message. There was no way the people in charge of the dub knew beforehand that Reiner wasn't using a figure of speech.

[@NeverOhVer]

@@MarianFKTo be honest, nobody could even call back to that scene on first viewing, or suspect anything when seeing it. If Shifters didn’t have a time limit then that scene wouldn’t even have to be removed

[@notarno1d602]

The way they animated this ep was phenomenal and with the call of silent ost makes it so beautiful

[@JustAMagicDuck]

I just finished season 3 and so much of this hits different now. Even when Ymir responds to Eren asking who the real enemy is and she just says “couldn’t say” is actually her being completely truthful.

[@honeyhoney6794]

ymir’s ost makes me cry every single time it’s so beautiful

[@albino_dragon2447]

Is it this episode that Armin goes all dark for a moment because I LOVED that scene. I remember staring at the screen with my jaw dropped thinking “This solidifies it. Armin is my favorite character.”

@@somestuff7876 ooh thanks! I’m caught up in the anime but I haven’t read the manga

[@somestuff7876]

@@albino_dragon2447 it closer to the end of the chapter. In general anime changed and sadly cut some incredible dialogues in part 1 of season 3. To be completely honest, anime cut The Uprising Arc left and right. So just in case you curious that Arc went from ch. 51 to 70. For example, you can actually find out the real reason why Historia punched Levi! Let's just say that anime "softened" Levi's actions and choice of words. Levi's monologues and dialogues suffered the most. But also Armin's thoughts... and Erwin's.. and Historia's... Thank god, that the rest of the story didn't get that treatment.

[@nikomiyaminaVODS]

I really thought everything would click for Montana this episode 😭 I'm excited to see when she finally figures it out, it's gonna be crazy

[@toamszkozak8822]

Really, they were only questions about Titans and no one asked about Ymir and Historia? I would love to hear more what Montana think about Ymir and Historia and not only "they are cute"

[@jittercritter]

Ymir is a character you need to watch the show more than once to fully appreciate, I really love her

[@elcee8]

Call of silence automatically runs in my head, seeing that thumbnail.

[@Xloudy]

I remember first watching this episode and being so confused, but I just watched this ep again and it's crazy how much was revealed and foreshadowed so early on.

[@ajflunks]

This is my first rewatch of Attack on Titan, like Kenny and its so crazy how all the foreshadowing and just everything is just given to us but you just don't realize it. The writing of this anime is just perfect!

[@nicomeneses886]

Unfortunately, there is something the dubs kind of changed in this episode that removes the "wow, it was foreshadowed here?" moment when you rewatch it. (Can't really blame them, dub writers/directors sometimes have to change wordings so what is being said kinda matches the lip movement. Unfortunately, it can have big effects on plot-heavy shows that has word-plays that can be lost in translation) In the dubs, Reiner says "Life is short. You're both murderers..." In the subs and the source material, Reiner says "You're both short-lived murderers..."

[@acanimatics906]

You know the story is good when even the queen of predictions Montana herself can't figure out where it's going. If Kenny hadn't seen it he too wouldn't be able to come up with a theory that hits close to the actual plot. Love your reactions, keep it up! ❤️

[@MrTellitobi]

Montana is a freaking genius, don't worry, all your questions will be answered trust me.

[@GabrielSilva-wv2if]

Montana completely missed the syringe (right before that man pushes Ymyr off the cliff(?) ), that's why she's so confused lol. You should tell her.

[@LettsReact]

It’s so quick I assume it’s meant to be a Easter egg for second time viewers, rather than something that should be repeated for someone reacting for the first time. Kinda like bertholdt going to bite his hand on the castle.

[@katonryuka]

the best about this chapter in particular is that, ymir flashback doesnt come in the manga until waay later, they decided to put it here cuz that way they give hints and its not too much of a spoiler cus they dont really confirm anything, they just give u more things to think about and get closer to the truth

[@kaboshireacts]

I love how we can see the gears turning with Montana theorizing. xD

[@thespianmask]

WAIT HOL' UP. Please tell me that shopkeeper Ymir was stealing bread from at 16:22 was the same guy Hannes had a fight with during the flashback a few episodes ago. That's an incredibly nice touch if it is.

[@gnoki2817]

This episode is so difficult to comprehend at a first watch... It's crazy good! Even in the manga these flashbacks comes waaaaay later but out of context they just seem so absurd we have to assume our view of the world is plain wrong. And it stays with us until the end of season 3 and even longer XD

[@YubelTheLovingDefenderForever]

Ymir is reading the Manga counter 😂 That's rough reading a Manga of your life without being part of the main cast and knowing how you'll end up 🤣

[@CosmicMumenRider]

omg i have watched this show more times than i can remember and i never noticed this, at 13:07 the lady that says "Lady Ymir" and is the first to bow her head is the Talking Titan from the Ilse's Notebook OVA

[@GoatLuffy_97]

I can't wait to rewatch this episode again. I still have a lot of questions about Ymir and her backstory.

[@GoatLuffy_97]

Wow her backstory has tons of foreshadowing. Most of it makes sense now.

[@rogenofficial9599]

I give Kenny applause for holding him self not screaming YOUR BEAUTIFUL GENIUS at his girlfriend

[@bradleymaas2582]

The soundtrack for this episode is gorgeous

[@Daesma999]

14:30 I know you don't need this fact since you didn't watch the OVAs (I'm guessing you didn't. They aren't dubbed, so..) but that girl who was screaming appeared there.. (Illse's Notebook OVA) That could've given you the first hint about the identity of the titans after watching some episodes of s2. Especially after this one

[@chibi8349]

I love Ymir's character, I wish we saw her more than that tbh. But then again I have always find AoT secondary characters way more interesting than the main one. For some reason Eren never really did it for me.

[@gregovaromoreno6318]

12:48 Well he didn't lie, they turn into titans so it was a half true

[@MinecraftIsLoveMinecraftIsLife]

i just want to say that at 16:22 we see ymir in somewhere. that place is definitely not on paradis island. when i first watched this i thought she was just outside the walls somewhere and there was an aurora borealis type of light there. but now on the second watch i see that this is not where i thought it was. first of all, the ground is clearly not grass that is outside the walls but more of a sand arranged in sand dunes. and why isn't she wearing and clothes? when eren came out of titan form for the 1st time, his clothes were ripped but they were still there. ymir was wearing a dress when she was turned into a titan. also where the hell is ymir? i think this can be answered by the season 4 part 2 trailer. there it has eren standing next to the same light paths as ymir and from my own manga knowledge that i've picked up from the internet, i believe that eren was talking to ymir fritz (the 1st titan) in the trailer. oh and also i learned that the lights are paths that lead to the founding titan. i've not read the manga, so this is my guess. i think that when a person becomes a titan shifter they get taken to that place next to the paths, but that's all that i've been able to theorize. anyway, that whole scene with ymir waking up and realising she's free is so beautiful. the way the hopeful uplifting music swells accompanies the scene beautifully; the stunning animation and the dark night sky blue color palette only enhances the beauty of this scene enormously. the way ymir went from an unnamed character in season 1 to being one of the most complex characters in the show in season 2 is a testament to the incredible writing of isayama. the way that ymir transforms from living by other people's rules and feeling that she exists only to benefit others to taking control of her life and living by her own accord is phenomenal character development and incredibly inspiring as well. how she continuously tries to prove that she only lives for herself while also inadvertently helping others to not be constrained by society just feels so true to her character and personality. ymir's relationship with historia is so complex and deep, with ymir always looking out for her and staying by her side and historia wanting to be great friends with ymir. ymir may not admit this to may people, but historia is also a huge reason why she is able to keep moving on since she met her. this episode was ymir's time to shine and she did so beautifully.

[@andrewmcclare7242]

Oh my god how does Montana understand so much, I feel so dumb I didn't figure out anything until it was spelled out for me when I first watched 😭

[@ToidleboyGaming]

because kenny is giving her hints through every episode, not on purpose but hes so excited about how things turn out that he's specifically bringing attention to foreshadowing moments because its just so good. not his fault just personality but he's inadvertantly giving montana many many clues about how things work, shes still really smart either way but yea thats basically whats going on its kinda like a semi-blind watchthrough because he's already seen it obviously is going to unintentionally give some things up along the way
