Speaker
A one, two, three, it's time for animation, deliberation.
Meet the podcast hosts
00:01:51
Speaker
A conversation and a celebration of our favorite action animated series. Yeah. Welcome back to another episode of the animation deliberation podcast where we take action animation seriously, if an actor seriously. I wonder if your host, Suhara Lee, with me is my co-host, G. Scotty Sinclair. How are you, my friend?
00:02:03
Speaker
me
00:02:10
Speaker
doing great steel reeling from some of the revelations of this back half of the season, but happy to be here to discuss it all with you. Yeah, it's great to be able to binge through this and not have to wait four years at a time and then one week on top of that with the mid-season break.
Analyzing pacing and character development in seasons
00:02:27
Speaker
This second half of season three, which is episodes 50 through 59,
00:02:36
Speaker
in the grand scheme of things. This half of it confirmed for me that season two and the first part of season three were the slowest parts of the show, in my opinion. I felt like there was a lot of character development. I've already spoke about like my distaste with a nonlinear timeline after waiting four years. And then
00:03:04
Speaker
with humans being the primary antagonist of the last half, I felt like that was a slowdown for me. Not that it was uninteresting, but the fascination of the show is just how terrifying and unpredictable these Titans are.
Titans vs. human antagonist arc
00:03:22
Speaker
So I was more engaged going back to that. Do you have any thoughts on that?
00:03:29
Speaker
No, I'm kind of on the same page as you. As much as I appreciated the first half of season three, switching things up, making it feel like a little bit of a different show, getting more insight into the political workings of this world, the show is called Attack on Titan, and in that first half, the only real titan action we got was when Rod Rhys turned into that monstrous titan, and then when Eren got to acquire his hardening skill.
00:03:56
Speaker
So I definitely found this back half of the season just much more satisfying in terms of, you know, getting that Titan action, finally getting some answers to all these questions we had while setting up even more of a mystery and more questions like the show always does such a great job of doing.
00:04:15
Speaker
And this season actually like ended on somewhat of a light note. Like it was depressing context, but it was a lighter note where I was like, when, when the, the first half of this ended, I was like, there's no way it's in this light. There's got to be something. And then the end crazy threw me off this time. I was like, are you sure? Are you sure? We're good. Yeah. Okay. We're going to the next season now.
Scout regiment's losses and Marvel parallels
00:04:42
Speaker
I mean, you say it ended on a light note and while it did end on a like victorious note, it came at quite a cost. Like, oh, yes, this the Scout regiment has been decimated like the Marvel Cinematic Universe that for a time they were using the decimation as the terminology for the for the snap or the snapping. What will you or what have you? But this was a absolute decimation of a fighting force and it was rough.
00:05:10
Speaker
Yeah, the scouts wish that they could have just been snapped away so quickly without ever knowing. Sure, sure. I mean, there was stones involved. So this this half has, I want to say two main stories
Main story arcs: Wall Maria and Yeager's basement
00:05:28
Speaker
to it. One is
00:05:30
Speaker
going back to Shiganshina and Ceiling Wall Maria. And the second half of it is the revelation. They finally get to the basement, they finally find Dr. Yeager's notes, and they uncover a lot of the history and a lot of the secrets too.
00:05:47
Speaker
that just basically like really establishing this world, which is one of my fascinations with anime is how good the world building is and just the pure imagination that comes from it. So while we're on the most frequent thing, like the last thing that we saw was a lot of the world building stuff. So while it's more fresh in our head, let's talk a bit about that. And the thing that I kind of want to get off is
Nazi parallels in the storyline
00:06:17
Speaker
We talked about the entry of how German-based the names and the designs and the characters and stuff were. Right. I wasn't expecting so much of, um, like Nazi history to be thrown into this. Right. Yeah. As soon as they went to the flashback to Dr. Jager, when he was a child and they were putting the armbands on, I was like,
00:06:43
Speaker
they're not going that direction, are they? And then it was like, these kids have to stay on their side. And I was like, Oh,
00:06:50
Speaker
Yeah. Their internment zones are effectively ghettos. And while their armband doesn't feature a Jewish star, it has a star of some kind on it. So the imagery is very, I mean, I think most people in this modern world are pretty familiar with that history of, you know, what went down in World War II and the Holocaust. So it's pretty, just on a visual level, pretty arresting and tells you exactly what they're going for.
00:07:25
Speaker
It may be questioned like the taste of it when they made that decision. But at the same time, they were setting up a story that was supposed to make you uncomfortable. And that setting kind of like set it up for you right off the bat. And then just to make sure that you were on the right track, like
Human fear vs. Titans
00:07:46
Speaker
they made sure to take Dr. Yeager's daughter away and then kill her and feed her to dogs for him to see and then them lied about. So it's like,
00:07:46
Speaker
And it did make me uncomfortable when I started putting the pieces together.
00:07:55
Speaker
Oh, his, his sister Faye, not his daughter. Yeah, everything about that was just traumatizing. Like I opened with the last episode talking about how we have a villain that's more scared than Titans and that's humans. And this, this arc, this story, I don't think was shy of that at all.
00:08:21
Speaker
No, I mean the Marley and officers the land of Marley seems like it's being set up as our ultimate antagonist here and
00:08:31
Speaker
The revelation that all the Titans we've seen up into this point, all the Titans that we've wished to watch die. And as much as I don't always gel with the character of Aaron, I do agree with him. I want them all to die. It kind of leaves a pit in your stomach thinking that all of these Titans were actually, for the most part, innocent people that were just turned into those
Titans' true nature and consciousness
00:08:55
Speaker
things. It's wild. I didn't see it coming from a mile away.
00:08:59
Speaker
Yeah, we see it with people that we don't have like too much of a connection to like for the sake of story. But like, I can't not think of Connie's mom in the situation that she was in when she was turned and like what really happened? Like, did somebody actually just go to that town and just start, you know, knocking them out and injecting them like, think of like Connie's mom's position like she was laying on her back with her head falling over like, what if she was actually like knocked out or concussed and just like,
00:09:27
Speaker
literally just laying there and just grew into a Titan on top of the house and woke up and just like, how am I here? Why am I here? Like, it's very, I am legend. Hmm. Where these are people and they there is a level of like,
00:09:49
Speaker
them being who they are, because they can revert back like spoilers for a 15 year old movie. There's there's levels of them like coming back to who they were. And you wonder like how much of the of the original humans consciousness and is there when their instinct is forcing them to just eat people. It's it's really heartbreaking stuff.
00:10:16
Speaker
Yeah, it kind of makes me wonder, and I wonder if we'll get the answers later on, but I wonder if maybe part of the reason they are so
Royal connections and world-building
00:10:25
Speaker
steadfast in their desire to eat peoples. Maybe they have more of their conscience than we're thinking, and they are just desperate to get back to their normal human form. Maybe. I mean, you talk about Connie's mom, but I immediately think of Grisha Yeager's first wife, Dinah Fritz, and the fact that she was that smiling titan that terrified the crap out of me.
00:10:48
Speaker
the fact that she told Grisha, no matter what, even if they were Titans, she would find him. And sure enough, she didn't find him per se, but she found where he lived. And poor Carla, but she found him one way or another. You're the new. Yeah, I.
00:11:12
Speaker
As depressing and traumatic as that scene is, when I made that connection of her finding Karla, I was like, okay, I'm sorry, that's kind of funny. Yeah, I can see why. You mentioned Dinah. There's so many different ways to say all these names. You mentioned Dr. Jager's wife, Dinah. How do you say his name, Grisha? Yeah, Grisha.
00:11:42
Speaker
let's kind of go into the
Founding Titan and wall creation
00:11:45
Speaker
world building that was made here because she's royalty. So she's connected to the Rice family in some way. Yes. Whether it be like cousins or
00:12:01
Speaker
Yeah, I don't. Yeah, I don't know how the family tree breaks down exactly, but apparently she shares blood with Historia Rice on some level. And if I'm not mistaken, her last name is Fritz. So that is kind of gives a little credence to the fact that we had that puppet king Fritz was actually named after the original
00:12:27
Speaker
original royalty. And I guess the Rices changed their name just to try and kind of go into hiding. Or it could have been like.
00:12:38
Speaker
one of the family members had a daughter and married a race. Oh, yeah. That totally could be too. Yeah. Yeah. Something of that sort. That's how genealogy works. I hope they show us a family tree at some point, because I do want to understand what the connection shows. I didn't even know the king's name was Fritz. I just remember him as a dude that was asleep on the throne. So
00:13:02
Speaker
There is a country known as Marley. And we have the Marleyans and the... Eldians? Eldians. I have to go back and forth with my notes. So we have the Marleyans and the Eldians. The Eldians were like the followers of Ymir. Correct. Who was a titan?
00:13:28
Speaker
I guess she was the original Titan. They say that she- The founding Titan. Right, right. She struck a deal with the demon of all earth, I want to say. The demon of all earth and she was the original human that was able to transform into a Titan and all of her descendants are Eldians, are subjects of Ymir, and they have that ability somewhere within them as well.
00:13:53
Speaker
which gives a lot more context to season two and our character of Emir.
Ymir's historical significance
00:14:00
Speaker
She's kind of the namesake of that original founding Titan. Yeah, because she was a orphan. Right. And they changed her name to Emir. Right. I don't know if it was her original name. Okay, that puts a lot more context. Non-linear timelines, man. Yeah.
00:14:22
Speaker
And it was one of those no context things where she gave her story of being an orphan. They changed her name. People were worshiping her. Right. But then it was she was kind of like a scapegoat. So when the military police of Marley, which now we know that she was on a whole other like country entirely during this, the police of Marley found her.
00:14:50
Speaker
took her. And now we have context of her being changed on a wall and thrown over an edge. Like now we understand that that was parody and parody is where the three walls and our heroes currently reside. Apparently there was a war between
00:15:06
Speaker
the Eldians and the Marleyans and the Eldians were treated to, which I jokingly said before, parody is like the Australia of this world, of this dramatic world, because that's where they threw all the prisoners. But the founding titan and the king were over there and they built the walls and
00:15:29
Speaker
I guess why they had the ability to just kind of like wipe the minds of everybody there and just make them think that there was nothing beyond the walls and like this is all that there was to life was just living within the walls. Yeah, that kind of goes back to the first half of season three. As I recall, that was one of the things that Rod Rice kind of revealed to us is that Frida as well as his brother, anyone who inherited that original royal titan
00:15:59
Speaker
they immediately fell in line with what that original king wanted, and he wanted everyone to forget, and his goal was peace on some level, peace through ignorance, I guess. I mean, we still have a lot to learn, and hopefully there are revelations coming, but yeah. I mean, until then, I'm just gonna see, it was just man wanting power. Yeah. So that makes me wonder,
Titan transformation theory
00:16:29
Speaker
If the founding Titan is the one that has the ability to command other Titans, is that how they made the wall? Is that the king had the ability to tell the Titans to lock arms and stand on each other's shoulders and they just did the ability and then built brick around it to make them forget? Yeah, that sounds right to me.
00:16:55
Speaker
I think I jokingly said that in season two, but now I'm like, that could have actually been the case. Yeah. Very well might've been. Yeah. I mean, save you a lot of time in terms of having to build, you know, a foundation.
00:17:10
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, I know we're supposed to be talking about like our thoughts in the season, but I feel like I'm just recapping and repeating the story, but there's so much going on. And there's a lot of stuff that just needs clarification that I just kind of make sure we're on the same page and like understanding the story. Or I'm also kind of wondering on that same note, we, we haven't really gotten any more revelations in terms of the fact that Aaron like drank a formula that was,
00:17:38
Speaker
that said like armor or hardening, whatever it was, maybe those Titans all locked arms and just like hardened themselves. And then they only had to like, I guess, add a little bit of brick and mortar on top of that. Not sure, but sounds like you were right on the money. I wasn't present for the season two coverage, but I did edit it and I listened to it. I just can't recall, but wouldn't be the first time your guesses were right on the money.
00:18:08
Speaker
It happens from time to time. So they talk about there being like the nine, there's nine, like particular titans.
Identities and abilities of the Nine Titans
00:18:22
Speaker
Right. We find out that Aaron's is called the attack titan because he's the one that presses forward. Right. Very appropriate. And now we know what the show is named after.
00:18:35
Speaker
A little bit of a play on words there, yeah. Yeah. So we have the Attack Titan, the Armor Titan, Colossal Titan. Colossal, yeah. Is Ymir something unique? Is she the Midget Titan? I want to say they called her the Jaw Titan at some point in time. I think that was dialogue between Beartolt and Reiner, in which they referred to her as the Jaw Titan, which makes sense, giving her
00:19:05
Speaker
her chopping ability. And then we have the female Titan, but I feel like there's a more appropriate term for that. Yeah. I mean, if, if she is just the female Titan, I wondered if, if a guy were to somehow inherit that power, would he just still be a female Titan? It's like, this isn't right. I like, I'm wondering what are the unique abilities she had because the whole like diamond hardening thing is something that Aaron can do now too.
00:19:30
Speaker
Yeah, it seemed like she had the ability to command titans on some level because she let up that cry of pain. Alpha roar, as I call it. Right. She had hardening abilities. And I, I think that might be it, other than being just called to. Oh, he can. OK. All right. Maybe that's just something that is.
00:19:59
Speaker
common among all nine of these titans. But who else do we have? We have the beast titan. Yeah, that's six. And then I don't know if we got a name for the titan with like the elongated face that was on all fours, but that definitely seems to be one of them as well. They called him a scout.
00:20:24
Speaker
Oh, okay. I guess it could be, and he had the red eyes. Okay. The other ones kind of depicted it all the time. So the, the scouts like maybe seven. Huh. Okay. And then the founding, well, I guess, I guess the founding Titan doesn't, isn't included in the. Well, here's the thing. The founding Titan has been part of the race, rice family for a while and Grisha. Yeah. Grisha consumed that one.
00:20:54
Speaker
Right, Grisha is freedom. So what if Grisha and Eren are a two in one? I think that's what we're supposed to believe and that's why Reiner and Beartolt were making such an effort to take him alive. And that pushes my next theory is what if there is like a shield titan or a defense titan or something like that and
00:21:22
Speaker
That was actually in the bottle. Oh. And Aaron actually consumed that. Like that was actually one of the nine that was supposed to be put into somebody and Aaron's like a three in one right now.
Season intensity and character arcs
00:21:34
Speaker
That could be. I can rock with that headcanon for the time being. Makes more sense than anything else I can come up with. Huh. Yeah.
00:21:45
Speaker
man, there was a lot of stuff. And yeah, this, this part of the season made me feel like it was going to be like filler and I was just going to be sitting during storytime, but it just gave me the same level of intensity that the rest of the show has. Like even their storytelling stuff has been like, I'm intrigued. Very interested in this right now. Yeah. I mean, it was all very riveting and fascinating, you know,
00:22:10
Speaker
From the return to Shingan Shinga and the battle that took place there and the development of the Thunder Spears, you know, if we're going to call parody Australia, makes me think that the Thunder Spears are the thunder from down under. But yeah, I found myself really tight and on a babbie.
00:22:33
Speaker
throw another Titan on the Babbie. I found myself really feeling for these characters that were supposed to have a lot of animosity towards.
00:22:45
Speaker
Reiner when the Thunder Spears all hit him in his nape and he let out that cry like, I don't want to die. I really felt for him. Yeah, I really felt for him and poor bear told. Towards the end there, he was showing no remorse whatsoever. His exchange with Armin and what he did to Armin, that can be a whole another conversation.
00:23:08
Speaker
after Armin ate him and was having that dream where he could hear Beartol just saying, it hurts. It hurts so badly. And then he wakes up and sees Sasha saying that it was just, Oh my goodness. Like Beartol was the quiet character. And he's, you can see Beartol as a colossal Titan with tears coming down his eyes too. Right. Right. That was super big. I was like, whoa. And for Reina,
00:23:36
Speaker
Well, we talked about how he could possibly have like dissociative identity disorder at this point, like personality personalities. Right. And I think in that moment of him realizing what was happening, he went from warrior to soldier and he was genuinely just in that laid back. I'm a person I'm fighting and I'm scared. I'm about to die.
00:24:06
Speaker
Like the part of him that we love was the person that we saw last in his like, well, he didn't die, but I totally forgot that he got picked up by the scout. Right. And, um, I, why do I always mess up her name? But Zoe Hanji, I got it right on the first try this time. Um, when she's basically questioning him and saying, you know, or it's, it's kind of funny to see that he didn't want to die then, but when she's questioning him, he's fully prepared to die until he gets rescued there.
00:24:36
Speaker
But he does have that letter from Amir to Astoria that kind of lets us know a little bit about the fate of Amir or so it seems. And despite everything that's happened, like we've seen
00:24:54
Speaker
the scouts within the wall like we've seen all of them die except for Hanji already like bless the person who threw her into a well and all she lost
Character dilemmas and conflicts
00:25:03
Speaker
was an eye right because you were talking about the episode before it's like something happens to her so help me god oh no Scoots is not about to be happy right now and she came out of that with that
00:25:14
Speaker
badass moment of when Sasha almost I got scared for Sasha. Yeah, when she got impaled and missed her shot on the jaw and she was like, I got it just came in with one I got that shot then Mikasa put in the final blow. Yes, this is awesome. Right. Like, even leading up to that knowing that the other scouts had been killed by the two of them already.
00:25:38
Speaker
Sasha and Connie and John just they can't find the heart to hurt their friend. Right. And then John is like, hey, Hange, if you could not kill my buddy, that'd be great. And after her dialogue of. If it's a problem, it was my decision, you were just a factor in it. And seconds later, the Scout Titan comes in and grabs them and it's like, right.
00:26:04
Speaker
And then John's like, why didn't I do it? Why did I hesitate? Why didn't we kill him? And Don just like, shut up. We already had this conversation. We're going on to the next thing now. Yeah. Yeah.
00:26:15
Speaker
No, it was such a huge sigh of relief to know that Hanji was not actually taken out when so many of them were, but we did get some pretty devastating losses. We got with the whole Irvin's last charge, losing Irvin even though he hung around for a little bit.
00:26:35
Speaker
longer, but that character, that former military police cadet Marlowe, seeing his final moments was pretty heartbreaking. And then we talked a little bit. After him telling everyone not to wuss out, they were like, we have a job to do with the horses. It's like, what's your problem? And it's like, there's that
00:26:54
Speaker
you know, unstructured, you know, military organization I've been talking about throughout the whole series. I've already went just like questioning him and Erwin's like, all right, time for me to speak up once more. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And then on top of that, just they really threw us for a loop with Armin. Like I thought Armin was gone just looking at his completely charred body. That was tough.
00:27:20
Speaker
It was funny when Aaron was like pushing the foot. Cause I was like, that's a lot of effort to just slide a foot back. Like I feel like he could just pick up his foot and kick him. Oh, exactly what he did to the tip of the wall. And I was like, that, Ooh, that looks really uncomfortable. His mouth's open and his eyes are just dead. Armin wants more like lectures, Aaron into waking up and right.
00:27:47
Speaker
He tells Aaron like, oh, I'll hold on as long as I can. We got this plan and this and that. But he he damn well knew that he was ready to die in that moment just for the cause. And the plan was epic because I too was like Aaron just he just fell off the wall like that couldn't have been it like.
00:28:06
Speaker
What was the plate he was going for? Then it was turned it was intentional. He hardens it. He because he got he got the first seal already and then he got a second one to lock it up. So it was a two for getting those missions in. He's only had one ODM get kill up until now. Oh, that's right. Second kill is the colossal Titan. How savage is that?
00:28:29
Speaker
Pretty epic pretty epic. I'll give it to him and yeah, all the credit goes to Armin for that brilliant strategy You know, he was getting a little he was given some flack there towards the end about whether or not he was the right person to save but you know Levi made that choice for a reason and Mutiny be damned. I think it was the right decision. I
00:28:55
Speaker
Yeah, it was the whole time that I was watching, I was like, what happens that causes Mikasa and Eren to try to kill Levi? Right.
00:29:07
Speaker
That, like I said, that end credit seemed like messed me up. I was not okay after I saw that. For sure. I was like, what's happening? What's happening? And then I was like, Oh, okay. They're just going to save iron. Cause we saw everybody on the side of the wall die already. And when that dude comes in with Irvin, like missing his side, I was like, and he flocked over.
00:29:36
Speaker
He was flocking the surviving court. I was like, Oh no, I saw Levi. I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Like flock you idiot. Why did you, why did you drag him? How did you get over the wall to begin with? Yeah. And why did you do this? Why? And how did you just survive that onslaught of all the people to survive that?
00:30:04
Speaker
Yeah, that guy with that haircut. Yeah, that, that scene was a lot. And then Haji had to hold down Mikasa.
00:30:17
Speaker
Aaron, Aaron got half of his teeth kicked out.
Levi's battle moments
00:30:22
Speaker
Like we've seen Levi deliver some like solid kicks, but then after he knocked out the teeth on half of his face and Aaron just like, Kermit, hurt your face. Yeah. I mean, Levi's a bad ass, but we've seen plenty of bad ass moments from him, but I don't know.
00:30:45
Speaker
if anything came close to his approach to the Beast Titan, because I was furious with the Beast Titan, just how cocky he was, just treating it like a game of baseball, so cocksure. And then to see him have that moment of fear when Levi uses the other Titans to approach him, that was just so satisfying.
00:31:10
Speaker
That was amazing. I have watched that scene. Like I've watched uzui and Kiyotoro like, yeah, just play. Like whenever I'm just like, I have a few moments or like I'm in the bathroom or something, just go to YouTube and just like watch that over and over again. It's just incredible. Like it's, it's so sad that you had a sacrifice hundreds, possibly like a thousand or so lives just to get
00:31:37
Speaker
Not even the kill, first of all, but just to give Levi the distraction of like sliding from one Titan to another slash each one of those. And then, um, you know, everyone firing their smokes up. And you know, you talked about how just menacing it was that he thought it was a game. That's the thing about the Titans is that like, we didn't think they have any like control over what they're doing. They're medicine to be menacing, but to
00:32:04
Speaker
even the first time that we saw the Beast Titan in season two when he spoke like it gave me goosebumps because we have that size and that power and then still have the the intellect of a human like that was just outright terrifying his all of his dialogue was not giving a care for any of these people was like
00:32:28
Speaker
It really was satisfying to get him sliced up and I was really happy with how terrified he was when he got ripped out. Yeah. But again, let's have a dialogue with the guy. Let's talk to him instead of just killing him right away. And then the scout titan scoops him up. I'm like, no!
00:32:48
Speaker
And then Levi has to like Spider-Man the whip, like through the rest of the Titans and work his way over. And it was, it was supposed to be as simple as like, Hey, give me your stuff so I can go chase him. Like he could have been like, here's the syringe. Give me the ODM gear. Okay. I'm back on it. And that was part of the, the mutiny before the kill attempt was that he didn't even get to chase either of them down. Cause Levi could have ended everything right there.
00:33:15
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. And so it seems like the Beast Titan was the, I don't know, I guess leader for Beartolt in Reiner. He was kind of giving them their orders in terms of like the setup before the battle. And his dialogue to Arryn right before he disappears is pretty cryptic.
Beast Titan's leadership and mystery
00:33:40
Speaker
What he said something to the effect of
00:33:43
Speaker
your father has brainwashed you and that's something that I've been, I've been victim of as well. So correct me if I'm wrong, but I want to say that either Reiner or Bertholdt referred to him as Zeke. So I think we got the revelation that the beast Titan was Grisha's first son Zeke that basically threw him under the bus to the Marlene government. Yep. Yeah. Wild.
00:34:10
Speaker
It's a pretty, um, trying to watch my mouth. It's a pretty awful son. Yeah. Um, it's making me wonder if he's being set up to be the ultimate big bad for this entire show. I mean, if he's representing the Marley NTI, I imagine so because parody Island is supposed to be supposed to have like a lot of resources. Oh, right.
00:34:38
Speaker
Evidently, so I feel like and then there's the whole thing of like, we need to wipe out the Eldian race, which he is one of them technically. And apparently Reiner and Beartolt were as well, because those are the only people that can become Titans if I'm not mistaken. So what coerced them into having such distaste for their their own race that they'd
00:35:06
Speaker
I mean, you heard propaganda, I imagine. Okay. Yes. I mean, some of Beartolt's final words to Armin were like, you all have to die. And Armin asked who decided that, and he said that he decided that. So I really hope we get a little bit more backstory for both of them. I mean, Reiner's still in the game to some extent, but it has me really curious. Could you imagine if
00:35:34
Speaker
the three of them, Reiner, Bernhold and Annie, more like. We're part of.
00:35:44
Speaker
what we call the concentration camp and they were, could you imagine if they were part of the concentration camp and the Marlians gave them a life basically outside of that like hey we'll feed you and you can be one of us and hey by the way look at these awful people, look at these
00:36:07
Speaker
you know, these vermin and this and that, like, we need to wipe them out. Here's power so that we can do it. And this is what you'll get. We can get your family of life and whatnot. Like, I'm trying to think like, of the propaganda and the brainwashing for children to get them to like rise up for their cause.
00:36:27
Speaker
Right. Yeah, it has to be something like that. I think you're right on the money with that because I don't know if it's true for all titans, but we talked a little bit about some of the revelations we got through Grisha's memories. But Aaron's namesake, Aaron Kruger, who was the owl for the restorationists within the Marley government, tells him that whoever inherits the attack titan only has 13 years to live.
00:36:52
Speaker
I think it's any of the Titans. Is it any of the Titans? Because Armin was like, Oh, I have 13 errands. Like I have eight years. Oh, you're right. You're right. Yeah. Yeah. So it makes me wonder how long, you know, Reiner has had his Annie has had hers and how long bear told had the colossal in total, much less Zeke Zeke seems like he's a good deal older than all of them. So I think
Family ties and Titan history
00:37:19
Speaker
Rina Bert Holt and Aaron are about the same time because Aaron got his Right after the attack right because we saw so we have Grisha's memories from the Rice family when they
00:37:42
Speaker
when Papa Rice, whatever his name was, touched Aaron and the memories went through. We forgot to talk about it last week, but when commandeer Keith shared a story about how he met Carla and Grisha. So we have perspective from that. And now we have perspective from Grisha's diaries himself.
00:38:07
Speaker
And they kind of like pieced, they pieced, they've pieced all three of these perspectives together now. And there was dialogue of, please, we need to do this. Mario's being attacked as we speak. So I feel like Aaron getting the powers and consuming Grisha was after, like right after the wall got attacked.
00:38:32
Speaker
Okay. And if abnormal Titans have never been seen before, AKA the colossal and armor Titans, I feel like they got their powers when the mission was established. So they were like, here's the mission. This is what we're doing. Here's your shot. Go mess up that wall. Right.
00:38:53
Speaker
So the three of them could be eight years and Annie could have gotten hers right before she attacked all the scouts. She could have had it for a while, but have had the mission for earlier. Okay. And we've had like flashbacks of any of early, like I have to wait for my dad. So like, right, right. Yeah. Who's her dad and what does he play in this? Yeah, it gives me the impression that her dad probably plays
00:39:22
Speaker
I mean, he would have to be either her mother would have to be Eldian or he has to be Eldian. But I get the impression that he was somewhat involved in the Marlian government. So maybe it's the fact that he's a Marlian and maybe her mother is an Eldian and maybe... That's what I'm thinking. Yeah, that's kind of what I'm going for as well. And that's what she has to do to be worthy in his eyes.
00:39:48
Speaker
Hmm. But the other thing I'm not expected to be doing this much family tree stuff today. Yeah, exactly. Well, that's what happens when you get, you know, memories from 2015, 20 years ago, whatever we want to postulate there. But going back to Grisha's memories and the revelations there with Aaron Kruger being the attack Titan that he inherited from
00:40:15
Speaker
He, his last line of dialogue is you have to do this to protect Armin and Mikasa.
00:40:24
Speaker
Yeah, and that was one of the two questions that Gavin gave us too, is in Grisha's past, what theories do you have for why Aaron Kruger said Armin and Mikasa, then later correcting himself when he said to Grisha on the wall? Because they were like, even Grisha was like, who were they? He was like, I don't know. Those aren't my memories. Yeah.
00:40:48
Speaker
So my guess, my speculation is if we talked about how the Founding Titan was able to alter memories and delete memories, maybe Eren will discover the ability to plant memories in people.
Human exploration and reaching the sea
00:41:08
Speaker
As the coordinate, since he's like the force holder and has a connection to everything, because that's how they describe the coordinate.
00:41:19
Speaker
Right. Because it's like stuff that you, that human eye can't see. It's just something about the Titan ability that lets you see something to like a grander scale. And he's the sole holder of that. That's interesting. It could be through the coordinate. I might like that. I feel like that actually connects to my theory a little bit. Okay. What you got?
00:41:42
Speaker
And my theory is that they kind of explained the reincarnation a little bit because they talked about having 13 years to live. And if you're not consumed in that time, then your power will be reincarnated within somebody else. Right. Somebody that's just a random person that's born or maybe not so random.
00:42:01
Speaker
So what if Mikasa and Armin are reincarnates of like a past life that were Titans? Hmm. Cause now Armin was been put in a place where he's been given the power. So what if like he was supposed to have it all along?
00:42:26
Speaker
just like reincarnation logic. And then they've gone out of their way to talk about the Ackerman family. So what if because, uh, and where she's from has some ties and has some lineage to a past one of the nine Titans. Okay. We've accounted for seven Titans. There's two left. Okay. Two to go. Two to go. Okay.
00:42:54
Speaker
So spinning off of that, I'm wondering if those nine Titans we talked about that created the walls or serve as like the framework for the walls. What if that was their death and they weren't able to pass on? So. Well, they couldn't have because they weren't eaten. They're still in the walls. Exactly. Exactly. So I'm well.
00:43:17
Speaker
I'm trying to remember when we saw that bit of the wall removed, did that Titan's eye move around? Or did it seem like it was stagnant? I can't remember. It was stagnant. Okay. Because the Beast Titan could tell everyone not to move. So I'm wondering if the Titans within the walls are alive, but they're following the order not to move.
00:43:39
Speaker
Okay. Okay. That very well could be, I was kind of thinking maybe they're like their carcasses or husks were just kind of preserved and maybe going off of your theory that Armin and Mikasa might be reincarnated versions. Maybe they were the ones that were just like buried alive within the walls. Huh. That's wild. That parody has no Titans on it anymore.
00:44:07
Speaker
Like Haji's executioner from hell actually finished them off. They even talked about how after Wall of Mario opened up, all the Titans just kind of flooded in, so there was nobody really left outside, and that's how they got from Mario to the sea so quick. Marley? Oh, no, Wall of Mario. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
00:44:35
Speaker
And man, it was, it was so wholesome seeing everybody at the beach. Like Levi is so paranoid over Hanji. Like you could be poisoned. It's like, don't touch this, don't do that. And this, except for times where we see Mikasa with Aaron's parents, she's either
00:44:59
Speaker
Broody? Or she's protective over Erin. And for her to be in the water and almost slip and have that little smile and just have fun was the most humane we've ever seen her. It melted my heart a little bit to see her just get to let go for a little bit.
00:45:17
Speaker
And then that's when it started coming in my head. It's like, there's no way we're just going to end this on a light note. Like it's not just having fun at the beach now. And then Aaron has his dialogue of like, we finally get to see the sea. We finally have freedom. Is beyond that even freedom or is it just our enemies? Like that's.
00:45:36
Speaker
you know that's kind of the human thing too where it's like oh we can move across the ocean oh the world is round oh we can go deeper in the sea oh there's space let's be on space like you have that urge for adventure but now it's like you can't even look forward to it because it's like what threats could be out there too
00:45:51
Speaker
Yeah, and it is really fitting for the show. It's like kind of the closing of a chapter. We had the mention of the sea for so long, and Armin describing it as a body of water with so much salt that the merchants could spend their entire lives trying to collect it, and they wouldn't even come close to collecting it all, so as much as you know. And Jock tried drinking it. It's like, that's so salty. Yeah.
00:46:12
Speaker
Yeah, so it's kind of exactly what you're saying as much as this is finally them making it to the sea and seeing it with their own eyes and getting to experience it. It's just like the show is whenever we get some little relief and some satisfaction, there's just a bigger looming threat and a bigger question. It's like, yeah, on the other side of the sea we have
00:46:32
Speaker
An enemy that seems to be more sophisticated on every single level, and they just have so much more knowledge about everything that's going on. We thought the entire world was on this island, and that was all of humanity, but no, no, no, no. There's so much more out there. Little do you know.
00:46:49
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. But what you were kind of talking about Mikasa and her always being so broody and whatnot, it did make me think about something from the first half of the season.
Character development across seasons
00:47:01
Speaker
I love how they always change up the intro for whatever particular arc we're focusing on. One thing that kind of rubbed me the wrong way, in addition to getting to see Levi's childhood with Kenny Ackerman and all that stuff, they showed Mikasa with Armin and
00:47:18
Speaker
Erin and she was like super bright and smiley and she like lost her shoe and I was like, we have never seen that she has never been like that. Why are you showing her like that whole bright and smiley? But anyway, I digress. That led me to a lot of things and I'm going to start with the silly one. Sure.
00:47:36
Speaker
They said the sea so many times in that scene that when they finally hit the water, I could not get the Little Mermaid song out of my head. Out. Under the sea. Under the sea. Everything's better downwards when they're taken from me.
00:47:58
Speaker
Yeah, I could not get that song out of my head while that whole sequence was going on. That's great. I think Armin's obsession and recollection of the sea kind of confirms my reincarnation theory. Okay. That he has a past memory experiencing it. Hmm.
00:48:21
Speaker
Could be. Yeah. I know as soon as we get off, we're going to watch a little bit of season four because I can't wait and I'm going to have a busy weekend. So I need to watch as much as I can tonight. Yeah, marathon that. Yeah, there's a lot of stuff. And there's a lot of I actually wanted to open with this, but then I was so excited to just talk that I forgot. But there was a lot of connections to season one in this part.
00:48:44
Speaker
And one of them like I had seen season one and two before right so when I watched season one again I don't know if I said this in a previous episode, but they actually had flashbacks with it this time when they had Annie Berthold and Reina in the same squad yeah in season one like during the battle for Trost I was like I
00:49:09
Speaker
Oh my God. From the get-go, they were together. And then Marco, I think it was his name, Marco was with them.
00:49:18
Speaker
Oh, I forgot all about Marco. Yeah. And they were talking like, should we do this? Should we do this? And he was just eavesdropping. Yeah. Oh, and the look of Mark or of Annie's face of like, why do we have it? Why did you have to do this? Like, took off all his ODM gear and Jean was like tortured by that for a while. Like, what happened to him? How could this have happened to him?
00:49:43
Speaker
Yeah, they didn't even have the guts or the gumption to kill them themselves. They left him there for the Titans. And he's like, no, I don't want to die alone. It was, oh my goodness. Why are you doing this? That's all he was screaming. And they were crying as they were going off. And so when I was watching season one again, I was like, man, that's so annoying that they're together from the get go. And then to see that flashback, and I was like, what?
Musical themes and Easter eggs
00:50:08
Speaker
You serious? Yeah.
00:50:11
Speaker
Yeah, there was a lot of connections to season one and they're like tying everything together between the keys and the flashbacks and the small drops. And that led to like the two kind of fun facts that I wanted to say, because I was talking to my cousin about that. And he mentioned to me that apparently during the ODM training sequence, when Aaron like smacks his head into the ground,
00:50:34
Speaker
Yeah, when he's at dinner that night and he has like the bandages around his head Apparently there's steam coming out of his head because he's already a Titan and he's healing. Oh Like it's ever so subtle I can send you the the YouTube link of that part in particular But he's sitting at the table in season one with steam coming out of his head before any indication that humans can turn into Titans Okay, how wild is that? No. Yeah, that's that's that's great. Oh
00:51:01
Speaker
I didn't pick up on that one in particular, but I did like retroactively think about some things we had seen in season one as well, especially after we got the revelation of Reiner being the armored Titan. And we talked about how when the female Titan was running through the field with everybody on horseback and whatnot, when
00:51:20
Speaker
Reiner got squeezed in her, in her fist, but then cut his way out. He was full on steaming after that. And I just, I chalked it up to Titan blood steams. That's what it does. But in retrospect, it's like, that makes so much sense and it's all there for you. But.
00:51:36
Speaker
Like I said, it's right underneath your nose, but you don't know to look for it. So yeah, it's a great show. And then the second fun fact that I had is actually with the music, uh, each of the openers, except for the first part of season three were, you know, they start off like very, they have a little bit of like that orchestra touch to it. Like it's very vocal. And then it like, you know, it goes into like a lot of like the metal type music. Sure.
00:52:04
Speaker
All of these openers are by a band called Linked Horizon. So the first part of Season 3, it was very slow for some reason. And then the second half, Linked Horizon picked it back up. The Soul Song was Linked Horizon as well.
00:52:20
Speaker
So I picked it back up. It started off in the classic way that the first three openers did. And at the very end of the song, it sounds really chaotic. But if you listen carefully, the dialogue in the music is the ending of each of the openers that led up to that one.
00:52:38
Speaker
Oh, interesting. I had not picked up on that at all. Wow. Yeah. It's all the songs, the vocals, the double bass, all of it is lined up. And it's the last couple of sentences of each song, one after the other. And I was like,
00:52:56
Speaker
That is awesome. There was there was something about it that just seemed like so off. And I was like, this is a really weird way to end a song. So I just started paying attention a little bit more and I like put that together because I listen to the songs. I have a playlist that's just like anime openers and closers. Right. And yeah, to hear that was like it was really awesome. I just thought that was really impressive of Linked Horizon.
00:53:18
Speaker
Yeah, that's incredibly impressive. In addition to the music being so top-notch, we talked about the animation a lot initially in our coverage of the first couple seasons and whatnot, but they have started to introduce more 3D elements, especially with the Titans, which I think they've done
00:53:40
Speaker
a significantly better job later on. I think you guys talked about it when you did season two, but when the Colossal Titan kind of first did its 3D stuff, it didn't work for me as well, but they've come a long way. And it's all been animated by production IG, which has come up a couple of times. Not only did they do the 9th Jedi on Star Wars Visions, which is arguably the best episode, but when we talked about Batman and Mason,
00:54:08
Speaker
recently and I talked about Batman Gotham Knight, they did that episode crossfire in which the two officers in Gordon's MCU unit, major crime unit, not Marvel Cinematic Universe, but yeah, their animation is just on another level and it's so... Demon Slayer has its own style and its own identity.
00:54:35
Speaker
But there's just something incredibly fantastical about this particular design and the backgrounds and the character work and the fluidity of the action and the motion. So you're saying that we would be proud of it? Yeah, yeah. It's kind of a character unto itself. Yeah.
Armin's leadership potential
00:55:00
Speaker
a lot of good stuff with the show. So Gillian had one more question for us and we're kind of like hitting our mark. And it's kind of the last part of the story is everything with the ramifications. There's no scene that doesn't deal with ramifications. And one of the big things is we have characters who are making Armin feel bad about surviving and questioning his worth. And one of the questions that we got
00:55:28
Speaker
from Gillian as well was, how do you think Armin will handle being tasked with the strategic role that Erwin previously did? Ultimately, I think he's going to end up doing a better job than Ervin because his admirable
00:55:43
Speaker
and as quality of a leader as Ervin appeared to be, towards the end we realized how selfish his motivations really were. And while I felt for him not getting those answers and having to bite the bullet before he got to see what was going on in that basement, Armin has
00:56:02
Speaker
has never, I don't think we've ever seen him do a single selfish thing. And the fact that he was willing to sacrifice himself and the fact that he himself feels like he wasn't the right candidate to receive this.
00:56:18
Speaker
I'm curious to see how he's going to be able to implement his own Titan abilities in strategic ways. And as much as Aaron is like a rush forward without really putting all the thought into it and kind of hope for the best, I think Armin's going to be the real double threat here with the mind and the power now. So.
00:56:45
Speaker
You know, Hanji, who I still love, wasn't exactly kind to him and kind of telling him that she thought he was the wrong choice as well. But with them both having kind of collaborated in the past and her fascination with all things Titan, even though the scouts have been pretty much obliterated.
00:57:08
Speaker
I'm sure they'll get a new batch of recruits. And we know that this next season is going to be the final season, so we have to have some satisfying conclusions. And I would not be surprised at all if those came at the hands of Armin's leadership. Yeah.
00:57:27
Speaker
Even before he was a scout, Pixus recognized his genius and put him in charge of putting plans together. And then Erwin and Hanji are recognized afterwards too. So for Erwin to even say
00:57:41
Speaker
Hey All of you Armans your commanding officer now listen to everything he says and while he did panic like he pulled through pretty quick and When they were like, what's the plan? We're supposed to do like this is it you see that look of ridiculousness And then that's probably like the most competent I've ever seen these soldiers or they were like Yes, sir, and just like went and didn't start like checking for the creases and stuff like that. Right? Right, right. So
00:58:07
Speaker
It really was a risk to kind of go with the younger guy except for the instead of the person while it was curious if you did give it to urban like Would the Titan come back with two arms or I don't know I mean Aaron came up with two arms, so I guess why not um
00:58:26
Speaker
It was a risk. But I'm glad that they were that Aaron's point of like listing all the stuff that he did to save the scouts and help the Scots. He recognized Annie. He found Berthold. He came up with this plan. He did this. He did that. Like how was this not a clear choice? Like Irvin did his time, but like it was also fear of Hanji and Levi having to step up to because they've always relied on Irvin. They were always enforcers. True.
00:58:56
Speaker
But it really is a new era. And I think now that Armin knows that he can recover and that he just has 13 years to live anyways, I feel like his confidence is going to go up. Yeah, that's true. Just knowing that the likeliness of him dying has gone down a lot. Yeah. And the last thing I'll say about that is I'm kind of thinking about the fact that we did see
00:59:21
Speaker
arm and pull the trigger on that member of Kenny's squad in the beginning of the season, but he was still
00:59:27
Speaker
pretty disturbed by the fact, and he acknowledged that they're all bad guys now on some level. They might have been good people before, but now they're all pretty terrible people. He still seems like a pacifist. He was absolutely disgusted by the fact that he ate Berthold. So I'm wondering, maybe there'll be some crossover between that original member of the Rice family that, for whatever reason, whatever motivation they had, they instilled their will
00:59:57
Speaker
to basically try to avoid conflict. Maybe Armin will actually see where they were coming from and Armin will follow that same path and maybe that's the answer. A ceasefire, maybe there's some way that everyone can live peacefully and cohabitate together.
01:00:20
Speaker
It seems pretty optimistic and naive at this point in time, but I think Armin would be the one to be able to make that happen more so than Arryn. Yeah, he's got 13 years to figure it out. Yeah. The last thing I want to point out is
Aaron's royal connection and Titan abilities
01:00:38
Speaker
Aaron kind of understanding the connection and the importance of the royal blood. And him knowing the history of how when Arise gets the ability, the weight of the memories of the family presses them down and they start, they never use the power for good. Right.
01:01:01
Speaker
And he has this theory that he can only talk to the lovely queen history about. Hmm. And there's that theory of if he's because, oh my God, how did we not talk about this? His like alpha call ability came when he touched Dinah. Right, right, right.
01:01:21
Speaker
That was a big reveal for him to realize that like he made that connection in the courtroom. And Hans is like, is there something you want to share? It's like, yeah, having a moment because he's 15. I'm like, that's a weird thing to blame it on. All right. They said the dialogue is so nonchalantly, too. It wasn't even like like if that was Demon Slayer or Naruto, it would have been like like an overcomical reaction to it. But he was like, oh, what do you mean?
01:01:49
Speaker
So that was just kind of like, are we just so casual about this? Like you're just in a courtroom in front of the Queen and like all the highest military members just like, oh, he's just having a 15 year old boy moment. Like, yeah. Premier Zachary is like, Oh yeah, he is about that age, isn't he?
01:02:04
Speaker
This is so weird. It is a little weird. But yeah, that was some really interesting speculation. I'm very, I'm very intrigued to see how that conversation between Aaron and Queen Astoria go and kind of what to come up with with that.
01:02:21
Speaker
Yeah, likewise. Hopefully season four doesn't throw us for a loop and just, you know, kind of season three. Oh, yeah, it will. No doubt. Yeah, while I was trying to find like we've been kind of coming up with names for these arcs, but then it got to the point where I had seen it. So I was trying to come up with names when we put up the watch list on Instagram. Go check that out and give it a like if you haven't already.
01:02:50
Speaker
Sure, I realized that at the beginning of the wiki article it has the Nate like the exact names of the two arcs based off of the manga that the parts are named after I'm like that day Why did I not realize that told now? You got a lot on your plate. It's all good. Yeah It's just so hard like trying to read this stuff without getting spoilers But like I just want to have like that clean content to everybody so the last two
01:03:20
Speaker
are called Marley and Parody. So the next arc is just gonna be called the Marley arc, and then the Parody arc. So, yeah. Should be interesting. You got 15 episodes for each of them. Awesome, awesome. And I think as of at the time of this recording, you shared
01:03:45
Speaker
three episodes live. Exactly. Yeah. You shared a post from some social media account that yeah, we've only got three episodes to go before it is all said and done.
01:03:53
Speaker
Yeah. So hopefully we can knock out part one, finish as much of part two as we can. And like, just have the finale to talk about as in the whole episode. Cause I just miss talking about stay in a lot of episodes. It's hard, like recollecting everything over 15, but like it's, it's been fun watching and talking and watching and talking. Like it's nice to kind of break it up a little bit.
01:04:18
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, no, totally.
Future podcast plans
01:04:20
Speaker
And it was great to do it for Demon Slayer, you know, talk about it week to week and break down the episodes individually. But I do think it would have been a little bit more difficult with this show. Oh, yeah. Just because I'm trying to think of the right way to say this, but some episodes more so than others, you just get so many more revelations. And the last couple episodes of this season, definitely that was the case.
01:04:47
Speaker
Yeah, we easily could have spliced up each of the seasons into like four recordings and could that have been smoother? Yeah. But then we risked like missing the finale. So, yeah, like I said, I'm, I'm very grateful that we haven't had anything spoiled for us yet. I've had a couple of things here and there, but nothing like too pressing. Right. Uh, so we're almost there. Woo hoo.
01:05:16
Speaker
The last thing that I want to add to end this on a positive note is seeing Sasha in the hospital room eating apples with such delight looking out the window was beautiful. That reminds me of my favorite Sasha moment as much as it was difficult to see her in such a pitiful state when she was injured.
01:05:38
Speaker
when everyone's kind of arguing about whether or not Armin was the right candidate or what have you. And she's just like, will you all just shut up? And she's just like, that's our Sasha. You'd think both of them would be related, like to have the same hairstyle. They have both drooling obsessions over stuff. They both have like really bad injuries at the same time. Like one lost an eye, one lost, like got hit in the gut real bad at the same episode. Like, oh, yeah. Are they sisters?
01:06:08
Speaker
They're both Eldians, we know that much at this point now. Yeah. A lot of it, the show's great. Yeah, it's been a real pleasure and absolute blast to binge and get to podcasts about...
01:06:23
Speaker
So as we're winding down here, I will take this opportunity to let the people know about something we have coming up. So I have spoken to Matthew Carroll of the Marvel Cinematic Universe podcast. And there is a new show on Amazon Prime called The Boys Diabolical, which is a spin off of the celebrated series, live action series there. And they've done another basically anthology series where it is
01:06:52
Speaker
eight, about 15 minute shorts that are all set in the world of the boys with Vought, I think Vought Industries, whatever, the Vought company. And I've watched six out of the eight and it's a lot of fun and I love the diversity of the animation. And
01:07:10
Speaker
the stylings of the stories and whatnot. So we'll be covering that very soon. And hopefully Zuhair can join us for that. If not, it will be Matthew, Carol, and myself covering that. So look forward to that hitting the feed.
01:07:25
Speaker
If you like what we're doing here, I definitely encourage you to share the show with your friends. Anybody that's into animated content, we would definitely appreciate the share and the growth. And if you feel so inspired, leave us a five star review or whatever you think we are deserving of. You can do that wherever you catch your podcasts. And we appreciate it very much. Yeah.
