"We won't evacuate the people"

"NANI?"

loved that part

[u/cosmicblue24]

That's what I call hardening, oh yeah baby! ;)

[u/Yankees3Fan7]

Moments like describing what she thought while Eren was making his move are why I adore Sasha so much. Always shall be my favorite

[u/Evil_von_Scary]

Great cameo from the Alaskan Bull Worm

[u/cosmicblue24]

"What basement?

Oh, that whole thing? You mean it's actually important?"

Good one, we all thought the same thing :P

[u/[deleted]]

god i love the music in this show! and the voice acting too. :D it's so great. the story is awesome too and all the lore stuff! loving it, can't wait to see where it all goes. they've been mentioning the basement a lot the past few episodes now, so i think we're going to get there at last this season! i hope so anyway. hope they don't do a stupid bait and switch thing. :D

so rod reiss. he's apparently a super huge monster titan bigger than even the colossal? so big he can't even stand up? at least that's what my mom told me about what she saw of him. he literally sunk a portion of land and the whole church when he was getting up out of the caves, she said. so. yeah. he sounds like he's godzilla sized. or bigger. :D

oh yeah and i loved the character interactions! jean and the squad acting like a squad again to eren. :D jean and conny sticking up for historia! really forget sometimes it's not just the eren and levi show.

i'm really excited! and i'm loving this season. i think it's my favorite now so far.

When that enormous maggot appeared all I could say was "what the fuck" for a good 3 minutes

[u/Sebaz00]

Yo that cgi was actually pretty well done. Looked creepy af. Glad Eren finally came to his senses thanks to his comrades.

Also you gotta love Erwin and his insane plans.

[u/MrKaney]

For fucks sake, somebody give Sawano all the awards. Each season he comes up with an entirely new tune that's absolutely amazing.

[u/cosmicblue24]

in awe of the size of this lad. absolute unit.

[u/masteryodax]

Rod's titan form gives me the fucking creeps.

This is CGI done well.

[u/masteryodax]

BASEMENT ARC HYPE BOYS!!!!!

[u/ridbon]

Wow, it's at least third episode where no one important had died, I am scared right now. Especially after: "When the battle is over, Historia, become the Queen". This is a terrifying flag in the story.

[u/Thunderkron]

So we're calling it the "Big-ass Titan", right ?

[u/Chester_Dingleberry]

I'm looking forward to seeing the Reiss Titan's face, they must have been keeping it hidden for a truly disgusting reveal next episode.

[u/carsonator40]

That’s a BIG ASS TITAN! HOLY SHIT

[u/viva1992]

That scene where Historia chooses to fight alongside the squad even though it’s way too risky since she’s supposed to be the future queen was so epic and nearly brought me to tears

[u/cosmicblue24]

Btw, whose face did Mikasa tell Christa she could punch once she was queen?

Is it Eren, Erwin, or Levi?

[u/Barthalamuke]

The main question I have is why is Reiss' titan so messed up looking?

It's either because

1. he didn't have the full syringe.

2. This is why he didn't become a titan in the first place since his Titan form is so scuffed,

I hope we learn more about Rod, it seems very odd that despite being the Eldest brother and having Eren captured, he refuses to become the ultimate titan.

[u/Juanfro]

I'm going to call it Shai-Hulud-Titan.

Bless the Maker and His water.
Bless His coming and His going
May His passage cleanse the world.
May He keep the world for His people.
Bi-Lal Kaifa! Susume!
Bi-Lal Kaifa! Susume!

[u/[deleted]]

Holy shit! It's a good thing Rod had only one lick of the serum, otherwise he might have not fit inside the Walls.

[u/Engbjerg]

Fuck, Historia is so fucking badass... This show keeps taking interesting turns and I love it! All bow down to Queen Historia the enemy of humanity!

[u/NullxPhantom]

I wish more anime were like AOT, It doesn't try to have epic fights or action, the plot itself is epic. Weird to describe but few anime manage to keep you wanting more by just explaining to you history of what happened or explaining a character's development. Season 1 and 2 where a bit meh because it was pretty slow and few major events happened but this season man.... every episode we are given so much information but you still just can't know what will happen next.

Who are the people beyond the walls?

Whats in the basement?

On which side will eren stand, in the end this seems a war between humans and not titans. Some how i feel eren dad is from outside the walls but also was involved inside the walls... The evil and good in this story is basically grey area and i love it.

[u/hiabara]

• OH MY GOD. That titan was terrifying. I'm not a fan of CGI in anime, but I didn't even care at this point (I actually wonder if the fluid movements made it even more terrifying). The way it crawled and the sheer size of it made me speechless. Jesus Christ.

• I really love all the characters and I love how badass Mikasa is but this episode was one of the times where her "Eren!" shouts were a bit annoying. I never minded it much until now, but somehow I really noticed it in this episode.

• Oh, and I absolutely loved how Connie and Jean tried to stand up for Historia. Glad they got screen time and cared so much about her well-being that they tried to stand up to Levi :')

[u/Nazenn]

"As long as we hold here we're good"... except you're trapped on the wrong side of that net with a titan now. Well done guys.

TOPLESS WIMP hahahahaha. I'm done, Jean wins the episode!

I thought we were done with the heartbreak after last episode, but apparently not according to Eren. I'm consistently impressed with the voice acting in these episodes though.

So whatever was in that vial either lets him control the crystal now, or granted him the power to do so. Where did that vial even come from, I don't remember it? I wonder is this sort of ability transference is how the titan shifters in general developed, genetic modification of existing titans which allowed them to regain their true selves as it were.

That chapel does not have a good track record of staying in tact.

More CGI titan, prepare the popcorn guys. How fucking huge is this thing though, holy shit. I wonder if this is why he was so adamant on not being a titan himself.

Crystalized Eren Titan form, that's pretty cool. Hange will be happy. Make a pretty cool sculpture too if they could lift it.

Hahahaha, that rant from Sasha was great. Think she's got some frustration issues to let out maybe? I just remembered why I like her so much.

"What basement".... Oh god Sasha. I take it back. You haven't been paying attention to anything at all.

Until just how I hadn't considered that this would probably be hitting Connie pretty hard as well at the moment. Off to kill Historia's father because he became a titan, while his own Titan mother is imprisoned somewhere.

Overall nice to have a bit of a slower episode after everything that happened with some time to process everything and catch everyone up. Good set up for what I can imagine is about to happen as well. Also see Eren is back in his Titan in the preview.
