When I say Historia has royal blood, i mean, Historia has Fritz blood.
Not just Karl Fritz blood, the man who built the walls, but now we know it's something possibly more important.
She has the blood of Ymir Fritz

Rod knew. It remains to be seen if Eren learned this through the memories we saw him have in that dream
;)
edit: I'm not saying it'll happen, but with the information we have, it's a valid conclusion.
So good that we can finally talk about this stuff. Manga readers and anime watchers are more or less on the same page now. But I still wouldn't recommed anime watchers to google stuff.
Yeah, I was kind of expecting Zeke's ulterior motives to eventually paint him as a more morally grey character doing it for the "greater good". So it was interesting to have a twist that pretty much cements him as a turd.
In general terms, I can say I was pretty happy with the basement reveal. So many mystery based stories (Lost, BSG, etc ) went bust eventually, or it was clear the writers were making up shit as the series progressed. Others mystery works, when the truth is finally revealed, result a bit underwhelming and you just say 'oh... ok' and end up saying how the journey was more important than the destination.
This is one of the few times where the wait was worth it.

It looks fucking jacked up and it hauls shit so it's fitting. Someone should send this name to Isayama.
Really awesome episode, can't really tell who was in the wrong here since both eldia and marley are cruel, it seems like a never ending conflict.
We don't know which side of the story is true, tho. And the only ones shown to be really cruel for now are Marleyans.
Well throughout history it has always been about individual people and political decisions, more than it has been about Team Good vs Team Evil. There are terrible people and amazing people in every country, I don't think choosing a team is the point here.
Few stories deeply question that. This is one of them.
I'll take credit for this one:
okay, who's seen War for the Planet of the Apes? lol
Donkey.
Lol if you've seen that movie, you'll know about the characters called Donkeys. They are the apes that betrayed Caesar and sided with the humans:
So, I thought it was a very fitting name considering this character also walks on all fours.
Seems pretty likely that the eldians did kill a bunch of people because otherwise there wouldn't be a war between them.
I agree that's pretty much what the show is going for, we are meant to root Eren and Levi but in reality they are both fighting a war that they didn't even start.
This episode was amazing!
When I first saw this guy, I thought he's too similar to the titan that ate Eren, but maybe that's just a coincidence:
Then saw this guy and he was familiar too:
And then another one and... :O
Then when I thought about Dina Fritz, only one female titan came to my mind and... Wow!
Did Eren kill all of them? :(

In hindsight, maybe it was for the best that Erwin didn't have to understand the implications the basement reveals.
Not seeing a big deal with the Nazi inspiration. If anything, it's a cheap way to say, "these guys are the baddies". Until they turn out to not be or something.

Every episode for the past few weeks have been blowing my mind recently. Good God....
I said fuggit and started reading the Manga after I watched the Hero episode and I'm starting the 4th Colossal edition this week. Does anyone have an ETA on the 5th?
BASED Isayama!

Ultimately, if they did, it was their ancestors, not the currently oppressed Eldians. Marley is being monstrous here. They are evil.
Especially considering that they completely control the means of Titan production, and without Titan juice the Eldians aren't a threat
There is a lot of little stuff that fits. It is just that his art style has gone from bad to amazing, so he is also taking the time to fix his art errors.
It's entirely possible Marley started the war because they were afraid of or wanted the titan powers. All we know is Marley's side of the story.
I like how pronounced and interesting looking the "Shifter marks" are now. The change for those from the anime season 1 to 2 was massive as well.
We will be getting a Kaguya villain that shows up the in the last few episodes and we are going to love it.lol
The depiction of the Titan war looks pretty damn cool, wouldn't be against a mini series set during this time.
I mean, look at the beast at the top of the image. Almost as big as a damn Titan.And Titans rocking helmets and shields looks cool as fuck.
And maybe it's to save the budget, but I found it interesting how the Titans shown to be in the wall look almost identical.
Maybe a crazy reach, but is a new power we haven't seen yet? Titan cloning?

Apart from super accurate throw ability ( that kills all soldier ), he can also turn people into Titan and control them.

She is the royal blood, which is similar to Christa. Royal blood is important as their has original Ymir bloodline that can achieve Founding titan power once they become Titan shifter. There is no explaination about what happen on mainland, but I assume that anyone who is royal bloodline will get killed ( hence the owl try to stop Grisha from telling that guy that his wife is the royal or something ).
From what reveal today, it's clear that mindless titans are man made, so definitely limit number. But you can't assume that everyone in this episode is all the titan we see before. It can only be implied that there are as many mindless titan as people who get punished by injected and kick out into the island. Ymir episoe also show the same thing, so it seems to be some sort of punishment by the main land.

Think that's just for the sake of the art. Pretty sure the wall titans are all distinct. But I could be wrong.The depiction of the Titan war looks pretty damn cool, wouldn't be against a mini series set during this time.

Does Zeke have some control over Titans due to his royal blood? Or is that just the Beast Titan's ability? Also Zeke and Historia are lowkey cousins lol
For an exposition dump that was pretty alright. I had already read most of the backstory years ago but it was still neat to watch it animated. I'm a tad confused on the chain of events with the royals on Paradise. Or rather their actions and motivations, more like.
And what's the point of jailing Eren and Mikasa and then (apparently) putting them on trial.

The only thing I don't get is how old Grisha was. I never expected Eren to be Erwin's...half-uncle.
I'm pretty unclear in general about Zeke's timeline of how he ended up within the city's walls as a teacher, him leaving, and when he acquired the Beast Titan.

lol last week some guy had the nerve to spoil that Zeke was Eren's half-brother and pass it off as a "guess."

That's just romantic imagery. We know what the wall titans (at least one of them) look like, and it ain't pretty.
What? o_O Erwins father was a "simple" teacher.
Edit: Also your second sentence. Dude you are confused af haha
Hmm. I feel I'm missing something. What's the difference between royal and Fritz blood? Fritz blood is Reiss blood?
I had hoped this was the case too, but nope. He's a pure piece of shit through and through by the looks of things. Sold his family out and then joined the Marleyans to recapture the Coordinate.
I mean, it wasn't so much super accurate. He was throwing hundreds of projectiles and with the Survey Corp doing a 'Rickon' and charging in a straight line, he was unlikely to miss.
I didn't know he could turn people into Titans though, that's a pretty cool power. OP as fuck though.
Yeah, that makes a lot more sense. Fun to speculate though.
I guess I completely misremembered stuff from S2. Oops? No wonder I've been confused, I guess. I definitely thought it was hinted at for some reason, and could have sworn I saw other people say the same thing. Maybe it was the vague similarities in appearance.
Reiss are actually Fritz, they changed their family name and put a puppet king so the could rule from the shadows.
In his defense the show was not subtle about it, not to mention it's not that easy to find a person that knows who Grisha really is and his parenting methods. Zeke looks like a blonde older Grisha and Eren looks like his mother.
Funny enough in Paradis the puppet king actually has the last name of Fritz.
Er. Zeke isn't Erwin's father.
Zeke is the Beast Titan who showed up in season 2 and clearly didn't even know what the ODM gear was, i.e. that was his first time visiting the walls.
Erwin's father was just some teacher inside the walls. And he's very, very dead.
Don't feel bad, I had the same confusion when reading because Erwin's father looks damn near identical to Zeke.
What does you being European has to do with anything?
And damn, amazing episode. A shame I had this part spoiled by myself a while ago lol
There's no way in hell Fritz would be his real last name since that would imply that he's actually royalty. I just found it funny that the Reiss family gave the false king the last name of royalty that they used to have, which is their real last name.
I didn't say it was anti-semitic, just that it (probably unintentionally) contains a lot of questionable themes, which in the context of world war 2/nazi germany can be seen as quite problematic.
"Race" might not have the same use in peoples minds, but words are powerful, and that word in particular comes with a very troublesome connotation, because the way it is used still implies differences based on physical/biological appearance and creates categories of people based on completely outdated and dangerous ideas. And I think the US would be better off without it.
It is kinda weird how "liberals" can be so progressive when it comes to lgtb and other social issues, but would not even dare to question the use of such an obviously problematic word. Meta discussions are probably to hard, I reckon.
Before you get sickened any further, here's a screencap from this very episode:
People didn't randomly talk about races, that was actually mentioned in the Marleyan history books this episode. And it came up previously in AoT already, in several Bertholt & Reiner scenes.
As I said, I do not watch the english subs and actually... no, it was not mentioned, not the way you seem to believe at least. It's just another example for how people from different countries may get to watch the same show but what they get to see may not always be the same content. Also only goes to show how ingrained the word "race" is in the US, because that's not how other language subs translated the japanese 民族 (minzoku - tribe, people, ethnicity...).
because most Europeans have learned by now why the word race and what it implies should be loathed... And unlike for Americans who so far failed to catch up on that part of history, there is really no excuse to defend its use.
edit: but yeah, I realize that there is no point in discussing something like this here, hence... so please excuse me
and you are appaerently one of those guys who lack any reading comprehension. Gotcha.

Ah, you are one of those guys who claim Europe is post racial and definitely not racist at all. Nope. Gotcha.
You are "reminding" people of something that has not happened yet, while implying motivations for a character in an anime only thread..
Pretty much everything after where they intend to end it starts an entirely different arc.
