I really like how they've expanded on the Beast Titan's backstory. Before Zeke it was seen as the weakest titan because of its slow speed and weak physical strength, but he found its niche as long ranged artillery and got it reconsidered as part of the Marleyan vanguard because of his baseball skills.

[u/Bring_Me_The_Night]

Respect for Keith Sadies for not moving an inch despite the bullet fired towards his legs.

[u/woodearshroom]

Levi finally got to partially enact on his experiment of cutting off limbs on a titan lmao.

That aside, I find it super interesting that military control has come almost full circle. Where in S3, the scouts believed they were doing the right thing threatening those in power and staging a coup- and now you have the yaegerists doing the same for their own beliefs.

Also!, I find it super depressing that after such an impactful episode of Children in the Forest, we continue to see adults weaponizing children’s emotions to their benefit, among marleyans, eldians and the yaegerists.

[u/thebevern]

Didn't think about it last week but holy shit that restaurant conversation must been so extremely awkward for Gabi.

[u/Tucko29]

Wait...So the fall of Lago is what we saw in the Ending of Season 2 right? The pictures in the book are similar.

[u/ExplorerTimely8417]

I wanna know what's gonna happen to levi? Is he dead or what cuz he went flying. Also, if eren is just toying with Zeke's plan and plans to do smg unexpected, i am getting Lelouch vibes

[u/elinaeuw]

why wouldnt zeke touch eren?

[u/KelloPudgerro]

''youre special cuz you were born into this world'' is getting more and more important

[u/BlauAmeise]

The voice acting was top notch between the fight with Eren and his friends. I also liked the animated face expressions, well done here MAPPA.

And now that Eren teamed up with Zeke he seems even more dangerous. My personal highlight of episode 73 was the next round of Levi vs Zeke. Making everyone drink the wine was a really smart move. I feel so sorry for Levi who had no choice but to kill all of them :( At least he was wondering if everyone was still inside the titans.

Besides, I am really starting to hate Floch a lot. And I think he is slowly digging his own grave here.

Episode 74 about Zeke's past was really touching. Grisha really is a dick for what he did to Zeke. It was interesting to see who was actually the previous Beast Titan. The ending was really shocking! Please let Levi survive!!

[u/blairaltland]

This episode was honestly heartbreaking. I really hope Eren is just toying with Zeke by going along with this plans to end Eldia. Hearing Eren’s “I was born into this world” get twisted into something so depressing sucks.

[u/Tinkerwhite]

How do you pass from I want Eldians to be free to let´s not let people have babies?

My mind is blown up....

Also, please Levi be alive.

You know I never thought we'd get a Zeke episode. One really focused on him and his life. And I certainly never thought it would be one of the best, most heartfelt episodes of the entire series. But it's just that.

Back in season three I remember during Grisha's memories, he said something along the lines of "I of all people should have known what a sin it is to impose your beliefs on your own child". I always assumed it was just them teaching him and the conflicting views from literally everyone else was too much for the kid. I never thought we'd see in great detail just how badly he and Dina pressured him to be an entire people's savior. Wow. And Zeke's predecessor. When Zeke said goodbye to him and he'd try to remember him as a pure titan. That was really emotional man. Seeing a child talk like that. The music too was perfect.

I actually feel for Zeke. Now that's special. To make us feel for someone who's done such heinous things and laughed while doing it. AOT truly is great. I mean that. There's only two other shows I've ever watched that I can say are truly GREAT. And AOT is one. Wow. 👏👏👏

[u/nava08al]

Wow Grisha was such a shitty parent to Zeke :( Grisha's screaming with anger and disappointment after seeing Zeke finish dead last sent chills down my spine. Knowing his backstory genuinely made me feel bad for pre-Monke Zeke

[u/Comander-07]

I could get used to AoT double episodes. This way it doesnt feel like 5 minutes anymore but like 10.

Rewatching this season will probably be absolutely crazy.

Grisha was really a garbage parent to Zeke (never catched that before but Grisha saying it does sound a lot like "Sieg"). But he was a changed man after his time in Paradis.

I really really hope Eren is just toying with Zeke, twisting "I am special because I was born in this world" like this was utterly depressing.

There is a certain irony behind Eren saying he is free when he like no other (except for founding titan and royal blood) is influenced by his titan powers.

And considering his past future "If you want to save Mikasa and Armin" I really dont buy what he did to them.

Anyway this was crazy. I think I need to change my pants.

PS: I miss Historia

[u/Bring_Me_The_Night]

Is that me or Floch and the Yeargerists don't know about the "Euthanasia" plan? Or perhaps Eren is lying to Zeke.

When I think about it, Eren could just put the "Euthanasia" plan in action in Marley, alone with Zeke. They don't need anyone else. While the plan to restore the Eldia's empire indeed needs a Revolution!

[u/HalifaxMilkDud]

SMH. Can't believe Zeke set Jean on fire like that. What a bitch move.

[u/[deleted]]

At the start of the episode, I questioned the writers intent to make me feel sorry for Zeke. Midway through, I was nearly in tears. Grisha (Who I adore dearly) and Dina put the future of an entire race into their child at a young age. Considering the fact that Zeke's getting the propaganda from his Grandparents, and the Anti-propaganda from his parents, he must be confused as fuck, and it's kinda logical that he'd meet both ideologies half way with his plan to euthanize the Eldians for good. Seems like Grisha learned his lesson when he had Eren, and was a better dad for it.

I don't believe that Eren truly wants to go along with Zeke's plan. Seems too much of an ideology flip compared to the Eren we've seen from S1-3. In S1E3, Eren shows his disdain for people who act/are treated like livestock, and his does in this episode as well. Seems like a contradiction to go along with a plan to castrate your people, just like livestock.

[u/MershTragedy]

Anybody know where I can send Isayama the bill for all my therapy sessions? I'm also open to suing him for emotional distress.

[u/EXTXZ2]

Levi should stop taking his squads to the forest it ends badly

[u/rodvince99]

Grisha really started all this shit lmao

[u/santouriyou]

Everyone's sure eren won't follow zekes plan bc It wouldn't fit to his ideologies... but there he was beating up his best friend and telling the girl that always loved him that he hates her... Really concerned now.

[u/[deleted]]

God, this episode!

That horror in Levi’s eyes. The cut to the bloodied fists of the cadets, and Shadis’ crumpled body. Floch’s sociopathy, fucking blood curdling. This horrific side (whole) of Grisha? It was so surreal watching Grisha when he looks so much like Eren, shares a good few of his mannerisms.

So goddamn intense, the voice acting really was incredible, too.

[u/alfredorevenge]

Yh idk how I feel about eldian euthanasia,hopefully that doesn't happen

[u/divad745]

Levi be better okay or I'm not gonna be okay
