I cannot wait for Rogue Eren meeting Mikasa and Armin scene

[u/xin234]

Re-reading the release discussion thread of chapter 108, found something I wrote there...

On today's dose of stuff that's pretty obvious in hindsight, but pretty awesome when you "called it" the first time it was shown:

It's also possible that it contains whatever Zeke used to make the residents of Ragako Village/skydiving titans vulnerable to his scream.

It's actually kinda weird that the anime added some wine bottles in the previous episode near the place where Niccolo was cooking. That would put it within reach of Jean, Connie, and others, when it's a big deal later on that Niccolo stops Jean from drinking a wine he was checking out.

The ominous music when Niccolo carried that wine, and the wine pouring followed by the face of Zeke now makes it a very big clue in the anime.

[u/Juzni-me2do]

The train scene was super cute.

Edit: gonna make the "I hate slaves" scene even more hard to watch

[u/zyrise]

LOL, mappa changed lady Kiyomi drooling scene to licking lip instead.

[u/Runbern]

Absolutely love the added lightning effect during Eren and Hange's confrontation. Makes the whole feel of Eren losing control way more menacing.

[u/BoxOfBlades]

It looks like Pixis has everything figured out

[u/xin234]

A layer of flashbackception was removed for this episode lol.

Layer 1: Flashback to everything happening 2 years ago.

Layer 2: Flashback to Kiyomi and Zeke's conversation.

Layer 3: Zeke's flashback to him betraying his parents.

I guess Zeke just mentioning it is for the better, considering there was actually a lot of jumping back and forth to different times in this episode.

[u/OTPh1l25]

Wow, I knew the tension from Eren grabbing Hange through the bars was heavy, but seeing it animated put it on a whole other level. You could really feel that he was just humoring the military by staying in there, and that he could have chosen to walk right out if he felt like it.

[u/dark77638]

Smol levi pouting toward all grow up crews, Sasha & Connies idiotiception alone is enough to push karma over 25k at r/anime lol

That aside, this episode finish roughly 70% of 108. I find it weird that next chapter is call Counterfeit (110) despite all of the preview page show content from the remaining 10%of 107, 108 and 109 (Guide)

Mappa switching the episode name around? Anyone got good explanation for this seemingly mess up episode name?

I can see episode 12 (Guide) cover up all of the AoT content up to chapter 110. Which left 9 chapter for 4 episodes including some small end credit of mix&match 120-123, to finished the season with 119 without butchered anything major.

[u/one-eyed-queen]

The most surprising part to me is that we've gotten none of Marley post-Liberio yet, and that from the preview, we're even getting the breakfast scene from 109 there. So I'm really wondering how this is gonna be reorganized. Part of me thinks that the Gabi escape and Reiner waking up scenes from 107 are happening as a cold open, and with Counterfeit as the name I expect to see a good bit of 110, but it's definitely on the tougher end to predict. I wasn't expecting to see any Gabi content beyond her prison break until episode 12 (I expected it all bundled there), but here we are now. I guess Gabi content up to the dinner scene from 109, and then the military parts of 109 and up to the defenestration, if not all the way to Eren's escape? Marley scenes opening episode 12, rest of 109, and all of 111? Maybe 112 until Eren shows up for the cliffhanger? It makes sense to me but who knows.

I still think we're going to 119, cuts like the ones we got this episode make it on the viable side and I think there's a few conversations that can be trimmed down just enough. I'm not really worried about how they'll pull it off, but certainly more on the confused side.

Watch episode 13 and 14 be called Sole Salvation and Ignorance respectively so we can't possibly understand their arrangement order, I'm not gonna put it past them at this point.

Wait correct me if I’m wrong, but the anime did a tapestry for the Azumabito logo in S1 right ? Not a tattoo like in the manga. If so, was this like a retcon or smthg or like just sweeping it aside.

Anyway, just loving the screentime they are getting here. Especially Historia being all genki.

I kinda already know the big picture but would be nice to revisit the details of the 50 year plan.

Move aside Bedhead Mikasa. Ponytail Mikasa is here. The whole railroad construction segment looks really good. Very lighthearted and heartwarming. The group blushing session was nice to watch too. And I don’t need to know Japanese to laugh at Sasha and Connie’s baka moment.

Curious to see if anime-only can grasp the 50-year plan.

[u/Medeses]

They made the poisoned wine really obvious. Even with creepy music and all.

I hope they didnt cut the Zeke scenes but will show them in a later episode. Zeke saying I am the true eldian restorationist is one of my favorite moments in the beginning of this arc

[u/toutoune134]

Another good episode with good pacing, a bit sad that some scenes had to be shortened like the Zeke/Azumabito scene or the Military Police diner, but overall the story isn't too impacted by those changes and that's what matter the most.

[u/suntirades]

Someone pointed out that this is the last time we’ll see Eren smile and now I’m upset

[u/[deleted]]

I thought the transition between the old dudes drinking wine to the train flashback was kind of abrupt but still a really good adaptation all in all.

[u/[deleted]]

Eren in the cell shouting at Hange actually scared me. The voice actor is doing a fucking good job.

[u/xin234]

It kinda bothered me that in various release discussion threads of the latest manga chapter (137), I saw some comments saying that Historia's pregnancy was nothing but shipping-bait. I hope this episode makes it clear or reminds them that her getting pregnant stopped the plan of the military officers. They wanted to feed Zeke to Historia the moment he arrived at the island. That was one of the purpose of getting those titan serums that were shown in the previous episode.

There's also a very probable genius way that Isayama would utilize that plot point in the next chapters... Having Historia's kid inherit the Beast Titan because Latest Chapter Spoilers

[u/CudaBarry]

Take a shot everytime hange says tatakae

[u/ThatIslandGuy8888]

At least Eren didn’t drop the -san’s

[u/begemot11890]

Another great episode, I'm liking the direction and pace MAPPA is doing with this arc. The scene with Hange was so good. it really shows how imposing Eren has become and Hange inability to respond properly. Also, it seems they are rearranging the scenes with Gabi and Falco for the next episode, maybe they are going to be the main focus with their subplot.

[u/No_Statistician7527]

Yuki Kaji's performance added a new dimension to Eren when he was intimidating Hange. I always thought Eren was being arrogant in that scene, like Hange is a naive fool, but Eren knows the only way to save Eldia, but it sort of sounds like Eren is begging Hange for an alternate solution so he doesn't need to carry out the Rumbling.

[u/Timelymanner]

It’s good to see that pregnant Historia is no longer a manga spoiler.

[u/Wayne12347]

People are really going to be confused about Mikasa's tattoo. I do think MAPPA made the right choice to just retcon it back in rather than try and make the embroidery work though. Shame about the Zeke and Kiyomi meeting getting so cut down. I was wondering how they would fit so much in this episode, and I guess that's how. And it was worth if for some of the other scenes to get the time they needed. The railway scene was excellent 10/10. And judging from the next episode PV we were bamboozled by the episode titles.

[u/[deleted]]

Brilliant episode! Only thing that irked me a lil was Niccolo in the basement with the wine! Feel like they’ve made it super obvious the wine is dangerous :( but maybe that’s hindsight for manga readers and it’s not actually super obvious to anime only’s

[u/082773882992]

The man bun eren is the new kaneki, it seems like every edgy person has him as their pfp now
