Deconstructing the GREATEST Climax in Anime - Overanalyzing Attack on Titan & Retrospective

🔴Quick correction: 25:25 I said Levi is charging to get Eren, Erwin and Hange out, while he was only talking about Eren & Erwin. He asked about Hange earlier (and Erwin said he has no clue what's going on with their squad), but now he said they'd use whatever remains of Hange's squad as distractions while Erwin yoinks Eren. Think those 2 things jumbled in my brain.

Erwin was actually born with 8 balls he removed 6 of them to make the infinity stones 🔥🔥🔥

Crazy thing about this scene is that this is insane foreshadowing for Marley, as the Paradise citizens know NOTHING about baseball.

In Spanish, Connie's joke is just perfect. He says: "Si yo fuera Eren, podría decir que mi casa está que arde". It translates to "if I was Eren I could say that my house is on fire" but "mi casa" (my house) sounds the same as "Mikasa" and "está que arde" is also used to describe someone atractive. Basically, it sounds like "if I was Eren I could say Mikasa is hot".

Perfect game is a term in baseball for when a pitcher plays perfectly and doesn't let a single person on base. For Zeke I assume a perfect game would be pitching until all of the scouts are dead

I have to applaud Isayama for being able to write his characters into a corner that seems to be impossible to get out of, then making a realistic scenario where they have a chance to win. I can’t explain how hopeless I felt for the "protagonists" watching this arc, yet when Hero ended I was stunned that it all worked. Erwin’s sacrifice was the perfect plan though, and without it Levi likely would’ve never gotten the serum to Armin. All time great writing, and I can’t wait for your season 4 breakdowns! Keep up the good work

Funfact!!!!! Connie's pun has a meaning in Jp. He says "Eren no ie ga" which means "Eren's house" but it is heard as "Eren no yeager" (the original pronunciation in japanese of yeager and "ie ga" is very similar)

I think you can excuse the shrapnel around 17:00 because while yes some might hit her, the colossal is pumping out massive amounts of steam pushing the spears away and in doing so pushing the shrapnel away

29:50 There is one more thing about this scene, here unlike all of the series Levi is the one giving an order, previously he was asking Erwin to give order and now he is forcing his choice on him. What I see on Erwins face is relief from making decision and that is why he is thanking Levi

WE ARE SO BACK

Yo I love that my algorithm is so good I didn’t even get a yt notification

Levi always followed Ervin in the hope it would lead them to greatness. But his speech in the end tells him that levi doent have to follow him to acheive their dreams. He forced him to become his replacment in a more emotional and less direct way than Hange and Armin. Hange is his heart, Armin is his brain and Levi is his soul.

I laughed so hard when Bertokdt punted Eren like a football. 😂

Erwin is such a great leader. His troops went from trembling in fear with zero morale to riding into the gates of hell knowing full well they would die and not A. SINGLE. ONE. FOLDED. The best part is not that the writing makes the situation believable (which of course it does), but that we the audience would likely follow this man, too. I will die on the hill that this show is the GOAT.

My headcanon for the disconnect in the speech is that Erwin is repeating the My Soldiers lines once they begin charging, until he dies. The rule of cool still gives me goosebumps regardless of how its cut. Dub Erwin's speech is so fucking good man.

This series is what i live for. The world is a cruel place, but this series is so very beautiful.

So Zeke woke up one morning and said to himself "I think I'm just gonna throw things at tiny people....I'll probably use that titan controlling ability sometimes too"

Ive been rewatching the show at the speed as your uploads and its crazy how lany of the little details i miss, thank you for helping me appreciate the show even more

Korotos uploading during your lunch break >>>>>

I am a sub purist, but I agree Erwins dub speech was the peak of the entire series.
