The thing about attack on titan is that it's a monthly series so it can be rather slow and the author does not force himself to focus on titan action like some other shonens do. The main one was the conspiracy historis arc but it was followed up with the action packed arc we just. The next arc is departure as we learn more about the outside world.
None of the shifters are from inside the wall. Bert and Reiner knowing exactly who Zeke was way back in season 2, before he even showed his face pretty much kills that train of thought.
If you want to find some hints then go back and rewatch the ep with Ymir's backstory.
In an anime only thread it shouldn't be their job to worry about manga readers spoiling shit. I'm sorry but the onus is on us manga readers not to say shit, not the anime people avoiding posting theories.
Agreed. You guys need to shut the fuck up and let people guess by themselves. It's fucking annoying and stick to the manga topic if you can't help yourself.
Yes, that guy is a bonafide idiot. He made a topic on gaf as well a few years back, completely ignored every point from manga readers just like he did when he made the same topic on era. I remember when he came to the manga thread and got laughed off the thread for spouting bullshit though.
I honestly think that anybody with that specific take regarding the later stuff already has some sort of agenda. Even after a very surface level read it's easy to see the the messaging isn't anti-semitic.
Reading the theories is my favorite thing about this thread. Takes me back to when the manga thread was going through these arcs
Yeah it's quite fun, I agree. But we can do so without going "okay, go back to this episode for hints!" it's like come on, just let the people scrounge around for details on their own without any help. It's no fun to spell it out with evidence for anime-onlies when they can figure things out among themselves.
It's season 2 ep 10. Also you might just want to rewatch season 2 as a whole. It's very much the pay attention and piece shit together season.
Yeah I think it's obvious we haven't gotten an actual "reveal" yet. We are being teased until we find out what they read in the books.
Not everybody tends to care enough about the finer details to either rewatch the show or rewatch an actual episode. I'm not even telling them what to pay attention to. Someone in the manga thread with this exact complaint said that this is perfectly fine, but I guess this is really a case by case basis. Like if people are having questions regarding stuff that has already happened in the show and don't remember why it would be relevant then I honestly see nothing wrong with telling them where the breadcrumbs are and hoping they figure it out for themselves. What I'm not doing is discussing the revelation in said breadcrumbs. I'm pretty much just telling someone where to look in the bibliography for a research report.
I'm at the point where I'm convinced Isayama rereads this from the beginning from time to time to figure out what's a lose plot point and what he can connect to.
Speaking of that, The Walls worshipers church must be hiding something. I am surprised that after what happened to that pastor in S2 and after the coup, they were never mentioned.
Don't see the significance of this beyond communicating that Grisha grew up in WW2 Germany or an analog of that. I wouldn't overthink it.
It's obviously meant to evoke the Star of David, but I think it looks to me like the lightning of a Titan transformation.
