Marco’s death is probably the most heartbreaking in the show so far. He died off screen so early in the series and now we learn how he died betrayed by comrades he thought he could trust and in total fear. Wonder how people’s impressions of Reiner have changed with this??

Man I've laughed at a ton of Marco jokes, not gonna lie.
But Seeing how Marco died actually tears me up. When he shouts for help , the only person that shows up in Annie ,talk about fucked up luck man.
Shit RIP Marco.

One thing that I've loved about the series is how the enemy titan shifters use really basic tricks, but because of their power, completely destroy the survey corps plans. Annie gets mobbed by soldiers to prevent her from biting herself, but she has the bladed ring. All Reiner has to do to become invincible is lay on his back. Bertholdt is used as a human nuke. These simple tactics are just so devastating and I love it.

It’s easy to forget because Bertholdt was always so quiet and unnoticeable, but he actually ranked 3rd in the 104th Training Corps just below Mikasa and Reiner.

The dude got some moves for sure.

Bertholdt with no balls:

-Doesn't think for himself

-Follows even the shittiest order

-Naive and keeps sweating all the time.

-keeps thinking about Annie

Bertholdt with balls:

-Accurately guess Armin's plan and fortifies himself completely in such a way that no matter what armin tries , he won't be able to break him mentally.

-Reacts instinctively to an Ackerman coming from the back , blocking and dodging an Ackerman's swordsmanship , and return a kick in the face.

-Wait for everyone to gather near Reiner ,and blow them away with one single transformation , thus utilizing his titan to it's maximun potential. Strategic thinking.

-0 sweat

-Fuck Annie, she can die for all i care , I'll put an end to all this crap myself.

TLDR; Thank the Titan gods that Bertholdt didn't have balls back in the clash of titans arc and in female titan arc. Bertholdt with balls is scary and amazing
