Attack on Titan: Shingeki no Kyojin

[DarthEnderX]

New leader should be Armin. He's basically like the beast titan now, brains + titan powers.

Maybe. We haven't seen what he's like in this new titan form yet.

Reiner and Bertholdt both seemed like they had some kinda brain damage, which may or may not have been titan-caused. So we'll have to see.

Man, if the only thing we learn from The Basement is that there's people outside the walls(which we already knew), and that they're slightly more technologically advanced that the people inside the walls, I'm gonna be PISSED.

[KrayZ33]

I doubt that's all of it.

It's probably more about the history of their place and the reason why they are behind walls.
Grisha had "connections" to the royal family and knew about what they were doing.

So I don't believe the gist of it is "dude, there are others with the same problem"

[MFauli]

I'm REALLY curious what kinda bs they're going to tell us to justify living in modern piece while elssewhere people are eaten by giant monsters 🤔💁

[KrayZ33]

We already know that they , whereever Berthold, Rainer and the Beast titan is from, use Titans as weapons?

They are "warriors", the Beast Titan can order normal titans around etc. etc.

[DarthEnderX]

At the very least, I was hoping the basement was going to have more syringes of titan juice. Mikasa can be Female Titan. Jean can be Armor Titan. Connie can be weird shitty pack-mule titan. etc.

I really wish Armin had eaten the Beast Titan instead of the Colossal Titans. Considering his whole thing is thinking up plans for everyone, being a Titan that could actually talk(and apparently can control other Titans) would have been much more useful to him than being big and smokey.

[MFauli]

Beast titan is for Mikasa, to deliver a bit of furry fetish AND give her the abiliy to ... moan. 🙈❤

[neflight86]

The scene after the credits really does feel like a paradigm shift. I wonder if the rest of the season is going to center around Grisha?

Also, it makes some sense that other 'walled in' places don't have contact with this ... country? If only they have developed a means to fight and kill titans without being titans (ODM), then they probably don't travel much either.

[MFauli]

Wait a moment, random thought: why again have humans never tried to reach new land by sea? Afaik the coast line is within the walled territory.

Also can titans swim? Do they need to breathe? 🤔

[shinta|hikari]

The coastline isn't within the walled territory.

Now THAT was informative!

[Buffalobiian]

Now THAT was informative!

Indeed. Who would have thought we'd see Bed-Head Mikasa.

So...

-The walled city as we know it is on Paradise Island.
-The royal family went there and turtled up instead of fighting, while wiping everyone's memories.
-Marley had control over 7 Special Titans.
-Royal family had the Coordinator.

-That leaves one more titan with special powers unaccounted for.

[MFauli]

What confuses me: Is there a way to regain consciousness as a titan WITHOUT eating an existing titan-shifter? There has to be, right?

Alao 'island', it'd be more apt to at least speak of a small continent, considering these people can't even see the sea.

LOL .

[Buffalobiian]

Japan*: the island continent nation.









(whoops. I meant Australia*)

Does there? I assumed this episode was revealing that there were only 9 intelligent titans in the world at any given time.

So far we got:
Coordinate Titan(Eren)
Colossal Titan(Armin)
Armor Titan(Reiner)
Female Titan(Annie)
Tiny Titan(Ymir)
Beast Titan
Packmule Titan

So there's still 2 we haven't seen yet?

[MFauli]

I assumed there'd have to be more because ... was it Reiner? ... told Eren et all that they wanted to save them.

[DarthEnderX]

I assumed there'd have to be more because ... was it Reiner? ... told Eren et all that they wanted to save them.

Right, but now we know that Reiner and co. are probably either working for the nation of Marley, or Owl's resistance. So the "they" they he was referring to could just be the other humans in said group.

Okay so is the Founding Titan one of the Nine, or is it separate?

If it's the former, Eren is both the Attack Titan and the Founding Titan, so there's only one more unknown Shifter.


Wonder if Historia will eat Annie instead of Mikasa, so Eren can use the Coordinate's power.

Actually, I wonder if Mikasa can even become a Titan. Because only the people of Ymir's blood can become titans, and she's supposed to be some kinda Asian.


Also, looks like we got time shenanigans.

[Buffalobiian]

The founding titan is one of the 9.

You can say that "Ymir the original" was the First Titan and when she died she split into 9. The coordinator power went to the "founding titan". Call it the "Coordinator Titan" if you will. I'm not sure if the nomeclature is standardised.
