Mikasa's face was really scary. I have pity of any girl that try hit on Eren.

It was really nice how they tied an old character with the current events. So Grisha just appeared outside the wall without any memory. Very suspicious.

Great episode, After watching Levi's OVA I was wondering where the previous commander of Suvey Corps went. Now this explains everything, Keith had a really nice reveal and dark flashback which perfectly explained his relationship with Erens family.

One of the many mysteries of the show is Grisha Yeager, and this episode gave us some insight into his backstory. Interesting how Grisha came from outside the walls like Reiner and Bertholdt.

Nice throwbacks to previous episodes, like Shadis messing with Eren's training. The ending of the episode with Carla talking about Eren being special and Eren reflecting upon himself was very emotional.

Episodes like this are essential to a show. It's what elevates them to legendary status. Beautiful.

commandant/commander shadis thought he wasn't special when all his comrades died FeelsBadMan and he called Eren's mom a useless slut but:

(The last episode with Kenny's death didn't jerk any tears for me but this episode jerked a small tear of joy when) Eren's mom replied to Shadis: some people do not have to be special or greater than everybody and existing on its own was special. FeelsStrongMan

And after all the anime I watched and all my numbness, I don't remember the last time I cried even the smallest drop..





That's how moving this episode was to me..

Great episode, specially the second half. I I really have to re-read the manga, because it's incredible how much subtle foreshadowing there is here of stuff that's to come much later in the story. Isayama really knew where he was going to end up all along. Powerful stuff.

One thing the anime does great compared to the manga is make character designs more attractive. Eren's mom looked smoking hot! No wonder Shadis never got over it.


Nice take on it.

How comes Shadis came to the realisation he wasn't special? Was it that Eren's dad was picked over him?

Alright, now that the boring part is over, time for the best part of Attack on Titan, Shiganshina arc! Being a manga reader,I said this is easily the best arc of Attack on Titan.
The uprising Arc was not boring. It was fantastic and answered so many questions including where Titans come from, what happened to Grisha Jaeger, insight into Levi's life and his real name, why has the human government done nothing about the titans etc. It answered so much on top of having meaningful character development that will define characters like Eren from that point on. Only someone mindless and cares only about action would think it was boring.

However, I will agree that next arc is the best action wise and highlights why I love Armin so FN much. I read these threads on here and other anime boards just to see how anime only viewers react. I haven't loved a manga story like this since Fullmetal Alchemist.


Agreed!

One thing I'm slightly confused about coming away from this season was particularly Rodd Reiss explanation of the evolution of the walls and the history of the titans? Was his version of the events truthful or was it skewed version?

Carla was prime wife material and Shadis was too beta to get her, no wonder she chose Grisha over him

And speaking of Grisha, I'm like 95% sure that he was like Ymir and turned into a human after eating somebody with special titan powers

Good episode overall, I love that we found out who messed with Eren's equipment in the first place

His version was skewed. Despite being in the king's bloodline, most of the true history of what happened in the last 2000 years of titan domination was only accurately passed down to Titan shifters of the royal family which Rodd Reiss is not.

Not sure what Mikasa is angry about when she was presented the best ship in the series infront of her that is the Eren x Historia

Grisha is obviously from the outside world. Really feel for Keith, he's a good person. Talented enough to get to the rank of commander, but not enough to THAT level

Now that things are back to being normal or a bit relaxed Historia had her fun outside, well not like Mikasa likes the idea of Eren hanging out with her she's a bit scary I don't know man with those killer eyes you should watch out

Learning bits from the past in Shadis' point of view he's just a normal bystander in this story and how it really feels like being bland or unimportant

So Grisha is from the outside of the walls seems interesting enough that he didn't came from the inside.

shit man the feels this episode.

jealous mikasa kowai


lmao it was fun to watch the group have a normal conversation like that. making fun of bowl-cut for not taking on on the hints by hitch. pointing the bonding between eren and historia. it was fun. also i noticed something, mikasa always acts like eren's mother lol, keeps scolding him and protecting him. she loves eren so i think she should start showing it to him that she can be his potential love, stop acting like his mother all the time mikasa!

commander's backstory was sad man. i was in tears at the end there. i think when they showed eren's dad outside the walls there he must have had eaten a titan transforming human and become a titan transforming human himself.
commander liked carla but carla marries dr jaeger :( his face when he saw them two getting married was so heart breaking.

commander was back from outside the walls, he was already in the dumps after losing his comrades and public was still saying shit about him and then he sees carla carrying dr. jaeger's baby, poor guy must have died inside there. no wonder he went all crazy on carla there.

poor guy gave up and abandoned his post as commander.

after that forest scene it has now become very clear to me the timeline of when eren was injected and when he ate his dad etc. it was very unclear to me in the beginning. commander was going through the same shit our boi snape went through in harry potter.

really liked that "so what if he's not special" speech by eren's mom there. the ed music was perfect for it.

smol eren kawai


lol commander was salty he broke the belt thingy on eren's first day of training. but when he saw him do it properly without losing balance even with broken belt, he let him off.

one of the best back stories we got untill now. enjoyed it very much.

i suppose now real titan action is going to begin considering only 1 more episode to part 2 of season 3 nd season 3 is rated 9.09 so that's something.

really excited for future episodes.

eren's.. changed. a bit, but.. yeah you can definitely feel something different from him. when jean mocked him, he didnt give a "THE HELL? YOU WANNA FIGHT, HORSE FACED ASSHOLE?" kinda comeback but instead a serious one. though just like that red haired guy said.. all of them changed.

marlo not getting a hint on why hitch was being so hard on him😭😭😭 BROOO SHE'S INTO YOU!!!! and eren agreeing with him.. THESE MEN. losers. how did hot girlboss' fall for them

"my story that will not benefit humanity whatsoever" IT BENEFITS THE FANS THO!!! thank yew for that. soo he was a jealous coward that realized that he "wasn't special". almost made wren lose his chance at becoming a soldier too and that's all because grisha said "those people are special, they're chosen"💀💀💀 ok. last part was nice tho, with what carla said and all. man im so in love with her why'd she have to marry creepy outsider man bro, it was nice to see eren having a peace at heart again tho. he looked great on that last scene

Alright, first thing first, Historia walking with Eren like that after she's became the queen, looks so tickling. Not to mention Historia kinda got some weird respond there, lmao. Jealous Mikasa. Really. Don't be like that, Mikasa xd. Well, welcome to the club Marlo, sure he's as dense as Eren when talking about love. But seriously, its out of nowhere if Hitch really had any feeling for those kappa dude.

Still, enough with that, lets give this episode a little reunion, with their ex cadet commandant, ex Survey Corps commander, and (surprisingly) ex Eren's father friend. Judging by the story flows, looks like Grisha might've been related to Reiner hometown, or something else similar. The answer maybe at Shiganshina, i can't wait for those excursion.

Then, as a mere bystander, Sadies surely took a lot of pain, even after becoming the Scouts commander, he still felt helpless and useless af. He's so unspecial. Though, with the last Carla words about whats wrong being not so special, as a mere bystander, he's about to witnessed, how not-so-special mc, will transform the humanity future.

Sounds ridiculous, for better or worse. So, lets see next....

powerful episode.

Few words can really push people into the delusion of being special to end up as a failure and blame others for your own incompetence.

I think now we all know that
Grisha Jaeger comes from the outside.
He is from the same place as
Reiner and Bertholdt.
I have no clue who or why his memory
was taken. But he is a special character.
Now Eren, completing his father's wish
contrary to his mother's, is
setting the world ablaze.
He is special. He is the chosen one.

Yo My Queen is someone who loves to play with children. I feel like there's a fusion between Freida and Ymir lol
Jean, why are you getting less excited? I want Jean to argue with Eren like before and flirt with Mikasa
Look at Sasha lol Historia is too deserving to be queen. She is kind and not an enemy of humanity as she claims to be. It's not her role. We are kind to others because we want to be.
Historia is still Krista.
Levi... Things have changed so much.
Now Eren is a fan of the Queen.
Look at them... So beautiful couple
Yeah yeah yeah I'm a prophet lol a successful love triangle
Shhh so short, I want to see more
Wow Hanji is still healthy, it's amazing
And everything seems to be positive, how do they make such a big thing and pull it up and down continuously?
So if Eren didn't drink that potion he wouldn't be able to solidify?
C'mon no matter what they go through, they're all close friends, right? That's better than holding the pain alone.
When Jean talked about Eren holding Historia's hand, I waited for Mikasa's reaction.
Oh old friend, I've been waiting for this. Sadies, I didn't expect him to be so important.
Look at Sasha lol
Interesting story...
So Eren's dad had the same experience as Ymir... but who did he eat?
Oh my god, Sadies was secretly in love with Eren's mother...
Well, why is there a scene where Eren's father is talking to him that they cut, revealing only now? And how could Eren's father take him away, while Eren was with Mikasa, Armin?
Hanji, you're getting hot at the wrong time.
Eren should thank him, Carla's wonderful words were like a cool stream that washed away Eren's pain.
Finally, if you are human, wherever you are, in any era, you always need to be loved, to be heard good words.
Inwardly, I was at peace. Thank you, Carla.
Thank you Sadies, you are a great guide.

At the beginning, I noticed that the instructor knew Grisha, but so much time has passed and I presumed that this information was just forgotten.

There is so much background between Shadis and Grisha, and everything suddenly appeared.

Eren is absolutely special, that is a fact. But it's interesting how the anime convinced him he's not.

Beautiful. We get to know more about both of Eren's parents. Carla really an ideal mother, showing unconditional love. She do be raising a good point about it being special just being born. That's some power there. I suppose if Eren heard her say stuff like that before anything happened he probably brushed it off like kids do and only now takes it in through Keith's story after gaining (significant) life experience.

I can't believe all the depth Keith was hiding this whole time. This show is great making everyone feel believeable. Now I'm rethinking every scene with Keith beforehand to feel better why he acted the way he did.

Review en ESP/ENG

Very good episode, now we know how Eren returned to the shelter, who was the one who ruined his maneuver equipment and also that the father seems to come from outside the walls, interesting that Keith felt that he was nothing... that he was Not special and I It seems like he liked Carla, I really liked Eren's mother's words. PS: what awaits the new recruits (who are also from the 104th like the group) and a very good weapon against the Titans, literally blows their necks off

Muy buen episodio, ahora sabemos como Eren regreso al refugio, quien fue el que arruino su equipo de maniobras y tambien que el padre parece ser que viene de fueras de las murallas, interesante que Keith sintio que no era nada...que no era especial y me parece que le gustaba Carla, me gusto mucho las palabras de la madre de Eren. PD: lo que les espera a los nuevos reclutas (que tambien son de la 104 como el grupo) y muy buena arma contra los Titanes, literalmente les vuelan el cuello

Loving these episodes that delve deeper into the characters we've known, even older one that haven't had a highlight as much like Shadis.
Beautiful line from Eren's mother too, "is it wrong not to be special", not everyone can be the number one athlete, not everyone can be the president of a big company ... just "just being" is enough.
Kinda made me think about "Everything, Everywhere, All at Once", that movie has kind of a similar message.

Looking back now it seems very convenient for Grisha to be the savior of a terrible disease, just as he was conveniently walking outside the walls, there's definitely more to it.

Dude, they're killing the regular titans that come to the wall and get caught in that trap. But why? Last season, didn't they theorize that all titans were transformed humans? Levi said he was a murderer for potentially killing so many humans (in titan form). Just kind of weird how they've ignored that and never tested their hypothesis?
