No, this is an inaccurate statement that's still being said after years of it being debunked. Isayama wasn't sure he wanted to kill her back then and his editor wasn't sure either, because they wondered if there was a more appropriate place in the story for her to die. Isayama changed the draft where Sasha died to one where she lived and the editor was impressed by the improvements to the point they JOKED about wanting to cry while reading it and said they'd secretly do so in the bathroom so Isayama wouldn't see.
@@cjjackson2423 Really? It’s pretty straight forward. They never stated that sasha was the “first to die.” They are stating the quote “The first thing that dies in war is joy.”
Zeke’s betrayal was foreshadowed a few times in this season. - His conversation with Colt in the second episode revealed that Zeke was keeping his royal lineage a secret from everyone around him. -Eren tossing a baseball in the air after telling Falco that he wanted to send a letter to his family. Zeke is Eren’s only surviving relative and he was using baseball pitching techniques during the battle of Shiganshina. -Zeke bluntly stating “Eren is not my enemy” to his fellow Marleyans, before quickly adding that his priority was taking down Levi. -Zeke mysteriously managing to miss all of his shots while throwing projectiles at the Scouts. -We see how Porco and Pieck managed to escape Yelena’s trap, but we aren’t shown how Zeke “escaped” his.
Zeke is not Eren's only surviving relative. But yes, his double-crossing was hinted even earlier when he first met Eren and told him "I will come back to rescue you".. Thinking back now, he has been boldly open about it lol
From season 1, I always thought I had an idea of who my favorite character was. I do love all of them. But this season, this particular episode, definitely made Jean my favorite of them all with that single line : ‘if we toss kids out of an airship, will the killing ever end ?’ 💛 Looking back, his character growth is the best of the whole show in my opinion.
Especially in the episode Sinners, it REALLY shows just how far he has come from the guy that wanted to live in peace and laziness in the inner wall, to an absolute hero who kept his promises and changed for the better after Marco's death. He really is amazing 👏

Watching this for the first time I just couldn't hate Gabi - all to the demise of my sister who hated her after this because Sasha was her favourite character. The brainwashing and young involvement in the War just to bring your family into a somewhat secure living position, I think if we didnt knew Sasha and learned about the guards instead we would've been rooting for Gabi instead.

I hated her from the beginning, but liked her character growth and ended up not hating her in the end. She is purposefully a very hateable character, not just for killing Sasha, but just in general. But that's why her growth is so impactful.
@@Azetaris I partially agree, but reminder that: Eren, till his world crumbled, grew up in a loving family, with positive examples and allowed to follow his inclinations freely while also being shown what was right. He did question the world around him (contrary to Gabi, in this) but he also had, for example, a father that encouraged that kind of attitude. Gabi instead was subjected to brainwashing since the day she was born, she really hadn't had, at that point, a different example to weigth against what both government and her own family constantly enforced, so she lacked both the personal inclination and the external inducement to ever question the world around her (just like many kids, for example, don't question the religion their parents grow them into till later in their lives) So yes, Eren and Gabi are different. Yet they are also similar: fierce and inclined to rush into action, both witnesseed their whole world shatter in one singular unforeseen devastating event, and both (at one point) entirely consumed and blinded by rage and thirst for revenge...instead of being like an Armin or a Falco who, even experiencing similar events, stop and consider things more broadly and from different points of view. Armin lost his whole family too, he saw lots and lots of painful, gruesome deaths too, but the kind of unbreakable, raging(and at times blind) hatred that Eren repeatedly exhibited in past seasons were never *defining traits* of his personality, while, at this point of the story, they are Gabi's
"Zeke is not excused he killed so many scouts" true, and Kruger cut fingers of many eldians and sent a whole lot to paradise, and Eren sacrifices scouts every time he decides to get reckless, etc etc etc... Do ends ever justify the means?
@@GregSmithIIIErwin had no choice, they were going to die anyway. Thats pretty different from Zeke making a game out of killing people and making snarky comment to Miche as he was ripped apart.
Is it tho? At the end of the day Zeke thought the same as Erwin, only that he had a different and fucked up way of coping with the killing @@ThatSamoanGuy
@@TheAeroAvatar It was not for Gabi, but rather for everyone in the last season, and the title "Children of the Forest" summarizes the stories of children in wars It's one of the messages of the show and it wasn't pointless
I think you girl missed yhe point that the Eldian restorationist offset the status quo when Eren's dad succeeded in infiltrating Paradis and taking the founding titan. At that moment everything changed. The reason the Tybur family doesn't intevene is because they were order by the King not to do so. They are keeping the facade they were order to keep.
War is a violent cycle, attack, death, revenge, death, attack, death...and so on and so on. No one is on the wrong, and no one is in the right. It's just all violence and death regardless which perspective you currently occupy. If Isayama (author) started this story with Season 4 and on the Marley perspective, we would all believe the Paradis people are ruthless killers of the innocent, which Eren shamelessly demonstrated. But he began with the Paradis perspective, so here we are. Perspective is important. Death is the end result, except if you are the cameraman, you are freaking immortal!
That begging @07:07 "Oh no Sasha, no please" really satisfying to watch, people who don't watch AOT may found us psycho for enjoying other people reaction in such an emotionally twisted through the show, but watching people reaction toward the show is really entertaining hahaha! Thank you Haylo and Kiss!!
I hadn't watched AoT for a couple of years, started watching your s4 reactions and didn't know what was going on in the first episode so I binged the season and now I've got to wait for you to catch up! Trust me when I say you are my most essential RUclips viewing right now
bro it's pure black and white. the world is wrong and Eldians are right. you can't cry when a lion take one of your legs after pocking him to bite you in the first place.
wow, one of the few reactors who remembered uri and kenny's conversation. Uri: "You believe in violence, don't you? It is the unavoidable truth of this world. But... the two of us were on an unstoppable path of mutual destruction. What was it that turned us into friends? Was it violence?" Kenny: "Hah... Beats me. All I can say is that if ya hadn't grabbed me with that huge arm of yours I would've been stuffin' your head full of shit. Before we ever became 'friends,' that is." Uri: "Yes... It is un unavoidable truth... But I still believe in what happened that day. That miracle." The royal family feared the Ackermans and persecuted them, Kenny hated the royal family for that. But even with all his power, why did Uri reiss spared Kenny's life and even bowed to him and apologized? Whatever the reason, That act is what made those two enemies become friends. Willy tybur revealed to the whole world that karl Fritz is the one who saved the world, and the reason the world is still living is because of the karl Fritz vow renouncing war. And now founder was stolen by eren. A threat to humanity. Willy declared war but what if, just like uri, Even with all the Power of Titans, the people of paradis made their intentions clear that they just want peace? The whole plan of willy tybur would've failed. But any chance of that miracle happening again is gone the moment eren launched his attack on liberio and made them the victims just like willy planned.
Yeah, since Eren knew the future, he could've opened up to Armin, persuaded Hizuru a bit more to help them stage a similar "Declaration of Peace" event at Hizuru before Willy could do his, reiterate that it's Marley using the titans for domination. It might not work, but Paradis never really tried to do much. They were at the starting line then Eren just javelin-threw all the chances away with this attack.
One big thing I want to point out is that sometimes the anime misses extremely subtle moments from the manga. When Levi told Eren he never thought he would see the dead inside look from Eren, Eren's eyes don’t stay dead. He actually looks surprised. Also no about Marley. They only wanted Paradis for Eren's titan to control the world themselves. They weaponized titans against the rest of the world already. If anyone isn't to blame on Marley, it would be the Eldians, excluding the Tyber family.
Yelena is the tall female Marleyan soldier, she’s a simp for Zeke.. you mistakenly thought she is Armin because she’s a blonde with the same haircut as Armin.. the difference is that she’s a very very tall woman
No . Gabi asked Falco if he had seen what he heard because Gabi literally witnessed the massacre , she witnessed her friends got trampled . So her words and emotions are heavier than the empathy falco has for the enemy just because he HEARD it .
Fun fact: Yelena (the blonde woman with Zeke) is one of the tallest non-Titan characters in the show. Officially she’s 6’3” (190cm) but People have analysed her height in the manga relative to other characters and objects, obviously it’s not that consistent because of perspective and whatnot but she averages out at 6’7 (200cm)
10:42 remember this moment. When Eren ask what is Sasha's last word..then he laughs at the answer. This will be explained (or implied) at the end of the anime. Then you would go back to this moment and think just how hopeless Eren felt at this very moment. It's very sad.
Tybur declarate war because he knows the founder titan is not with king Fritz anymore, the founder it's with Eren and that's dangerous, he may use this power to kill everyone.
Very slight spoiler for the next few episodes about Sasha's last words, but it's easy to miss without some knowledge about japanese language: Sasha's last words as interpreted in this scene: "Are we eating yet? Meat..." which is mildly funny and plausible considering her personality, but the truth is a lot sadder. Sasha's actual last words: "Are we eating yet, Nick?" "Meat" in japanese is "niku" so basically the same pronunciation as "Nick" especially considering she was dying and not talking super clearly. Sasha's boyfriend who has yet to be introduced as of this episode is a chef named Niccolo, so it's implied she simply called him "Nick" or she just didn't manage to say his full name before she died.
Wow, that's a deep take, but I don't think so. > > > > > > > > > > > That'd mean Eren's reaction to this and the flashback he had would lose its significance. I think it was intended like this to keep her character. Obviously she'd care more about niku (meat) than Nicku (Niccolo) especially when she isn't thinking clearly. She isn't the type to think about boyfriends.
@@ReneGade_1911 The misunderstanding is the whole point. Everyone of her friends misunderstood because how plausible it seemed for her character, but we, the readers, piece it together when we learn of her relationship with Nicolo. It's like a one-two punch of emotional impact
One of the things I don't like very much about this season is the way Yelena is introduced. Some people takes her for Armin, but basically she comes out of nowhere. There'll be plenty of explanations later, but still I think they could have plotted this differently. Or at least make her a redhead 😁
There's blonde hair everywhere in this show but every time I see people react like "Oh that must be Armin's mom" to the first appearance of the female titan. Armin or his family.. they are everywhere lol probably just because he's part of the main trio
Maybe it was deliberate to make people think it's Armin after puberty, or to confuse people "we have seen Armin he's there" "we haven't yet" "oh he's on the boat 😧"
I kind of wish they explored Sasha a bit further than "haha she hungry" before killing her off, she had one episode where she was more than comic relief and that was it.
Fact: Isayama had already decided to kill Sasha in the story long time ago. First time, he decided to kill her in S2 when she's saving the girl, he even finished the draft, when the editor asks him about this, he said "Based on my intuition as the author, I think is time to end her life here." but after his considering, he hesitated, so he changes the story and let her alive. Second time, he decided to kill her in S3 when she injured by the armor titan, but based on the same reason, he gave up again...
Kinda reminds me of the whole palestine vs israel conflict , Russia vs ukraine, Or most of the real iife wars anyway. both sides think they are right and both are getting hurt in the process, continueing the circle of hatred... to a point where generations and generations are being born inside it and knowing ONLY this, thus becoming hard or even impossible to stop the circle of hatred. Gabi is the same kid Eren was. To her, they are right and paradis are devils who threaten their existance. But to eren it's also the same thing....Eren was just a kid when the armored titan broke the wall and saw everything he loved getting destroyed and killed before his eyes. So who is right? Who is wrong? Paradis? Marley? Both? None? There is no real answer.... It's just a fucked up and innevitable situation that will just happen and it just sucks.. Just like real life conflicts.
Russia and Ukraine is not comparable AT ALL. Russia invaded without any reason and are now committing war crimes. All Ukraine has done is defend themselves
Hey! I dont know if anyone told you, and you havent looked through the episode list to save any chance of spoilers. The last two episodes are "specials", the first of the last being an hour and eleven minutes and the second being about and hour and a half. Just cause we are getting close and the end of the show is kinda long, have a great end to your week!
The Tyburs and Marley didn't force anyone's hand. Eren and Zeke were already planning to attack. This is why Eren had time to inform the scouts to come. Why Levi knew brfore hand that Zeke was going to take a dive and that zeke was on their side why Eren was under ground with Reiner waiting to strike as soon as Willie Tybur revealed the truth and declared War on Paradis. Eren played to attack Marley even before Mayley declared war. In actuality Zeke tricked Willie and Marley in to declaring War and forced their hand in order to draw out the War Hammer so Eren can eat it.
Okay, something you should know is that Marley was always going to invade Paradis. As mentioned earlier, the ware slowly losing their position as the most dominant nation. As technology advanced, more countries had built weapons to combat titans (the anit-titan artillery) making the use if titans obsolete. So keep Marley and their titans as the dominant force in the world they planned to go to Paradis and take the founding titian for themselves (there was also something about a natural resource that's in Paradis that they wanted too). That's the mission Reiner, Bertholdt, Annie, and Marcel were on. And since they failed and lost two titans, other nations saw that as an opportunity to attack (wait this gets explained next ep, aww well) But now that they know Eren has the founding titan, they decided to spin the narrative that now that he has the founding the island of Paradis posses a threat to the world (even though everyone already hated them to begin with). That's why Willy decided to reveal the truth about King Fritz to further antagonize Eren and get the support from the rest of the world So whether Eren had the founding titan of Frieda kept it, this invasion was still happening.
remember sasha was a character that was only a side character who was to die during 4th episode when they were recruits but isayama's editor begged him to prolong sasha's character because he liked her then she was supposed to die saving kaya from the titan but he again begged isayama isayama surely prolonged her life but never spared her 😂😂 but look at how a side character who was supposed to die in 4th ep became a so much loved character
No one tries to talk to the other side I meant look at US & China Or the current war Sure ppl will be like. But this country is this and that did this and did that Exactly like AoT portrayed
This is where our hearts break 6:21-6:29-10:22-10:50-10:56 💔💔💔 When you recover, even a little, and continue watching, you will know that you can still love this masterpiece 👊👊👊
Irrelevant. The kanji in the text is the kanji for "meat" not "Niccolo". Also she never had any feelings for Niccolo and they weren't a couple. Hopefully this is enough to clear things up.
You should 100% react to the Pantheon series. Another where nothing is black and white. And it's honestly incredibly well done. More people need to watch it.
OMG. It's been years and I'm still learning something new in AOT😮 From the last episode, it became clear to me about the Tybur's plan to bait Eren and his real hatred towards Eldians. This episode I learned that the story told on the stage was real and not made up just to paint Eren as the enemy. King Fritz really chose peace and lived in Paradis Island but the Tybur family didn't tell a single truth until an outsider without the royal blood stole the founding titan's power. It is indeed a real threat to the whole world but things could've been handled better if both parties atleast try to talk to each other.
welcome to season 4 lol, where everyone feels like they don't like the show anymore, and that what makes it great, it reach the feelings and they are pretty good at that
This was the episode that spurred a lot of hatred for Gabi. To this day, there are still many fans who don’t like her, despite the arc she goes through.
Sasha just killed lots of people why is hyer getting killed so bad. Also throw that child out! WoW! I love AOT. It brings to the surface the devil in all of us.
Not enough I guess because she had the shot and could kill Gabi but decided not to. In fact, ANYONE that had the chance to kill Gabi but decided not to lived to regret it.
"Throw this child out" was the funniest thing I heard today

I partially agree, but reminder that:
Eren, till his world crumbled, grew up in a loving family, with positive examples and allowed to follow his inclinations freely while also being shown what was right. He did question the world around him (contrary to Gabi, in this) but he also had, for example, a father that encouraged that kind of attitude.
Gabi instead was subjected to brainwashing since the day she was born, she really hadn't had, at that point, a different example to weigth against what both government and her own family constantly enforced, so she lacked both the personal inclination and the external inducement to ever question the world around her (just like many kids, for example, don't question the religion their parents grow them into till later in their lives)
So yes, Eren and Gabi are different.
Yet they are also similar: fierce and inclined to rush into action, both witnesseed their whole world shatter in one singular unforeseen devastating event, and both (at one point) entirely consumed and blinded by rage and thirst for revenge...instead of being like an Armin or a Falco who, even experiencing similar events, stop and consider things more broadly and from different points of view. Armin lost his whole family too, he saw lots and lots of painful, gruesome deaths too, but the kind of unbreakable, raging(and at times blind) hatred that Eren repeatedly exhibited in past seasons were never *defining traits* of his personality, while, at this point of the story, they are Gabi's
@@Azetaris their situation is way different. Eren would have turned out the same, if he was born in Marley.
It's more like she's what Eren would have been if he had been born in Marley.
"At this point, I can't exactly kill Reiner"...I just realized a new perspective for this.
Sasha was one of the characters that have the show it’s lightheartedness, so now with her dead it only gets darker from here 💀👍🏾
Still not over this one.
TIL THIS DAY!
"Zeke is not excused he killed so many scouts" true, and Kruger cut fingers of many eldians and sent a whole lot to paradise, and Eren sacrifices scouts every time he decides to get reckless, etc etc etc... Do ends ever justify the means?
Erwin sacrificed his own squad for Levi to take down one titan.
@@GregSmithIIIErwin had no choice, they were going to die anyway. Thats pretty different from Zeke making a game out of killing people and making snarky comment to Miche as he was ripped apart.
Killing was sport for Zeke.
Is it tho? At the end of the day Zeke thought the same as Erwin, only that he had a different and fucked up way of coping with the killing @@ThatSamoanGuy
It was this episode that made me finally get a full back tattoo of my fave character, Lobov
Rip potato girl 💔
You guys are right. Sasha’s death seems so pointless and anticlimactic but that is the reality of war… I hope the next episodes provide solace. 😢
no. sasha's death isn't pointless. it's literally one of the factors why gabi's character has so much depth.
“Needless” is probably the more accurate term here, but that is war for you...
@@TheAeroAvatar
It was not for Gabi, but rather for everyone in the last season,
and the title "Children of the Forest"
summarizes the stories of children in wars
It's one of the messages of the show and it wasn't pointless
I think you girl missed yhe point that the Eldian restorationist offset the status quo when Eren's dad succeeded in infiltrating Paradis and taking the founding titan. At that moment everything changed.
The reason the Tybur family doesn't intevene is because they were order by the King not to do so. They are keeping the facade they were order to keep.
War is a violent cycle, attack, death, revenge, death, attack, death...and so on and so on. No one is on the wrong, and no one is in the right. It's just all violence and death regardless which perspective you currently occupy. If Isayama (author) started this story with Season 4 and on the Marley perspective, we would all believe the Paradis people are ruthless killers of the innocent, which Eren shamelessly demonstrated. But he began with the Paradis perspective, so here we are. Perspective is important.
Death is the end result, except if you are the cameraman, you are freaking immortal!
Yelena as Armin last name is funniest thing I heard this week in aot world, the others is Levi is the female titan theory😂
That begging @07:07 "Oh no Sasha, no please" really satisfying to watch, people who don't watch AOT may found us psycho for enjoying other people reaction in such an emotionally twisted through the show, but watching people reaction toward the show is really entertaining hahaha! Thank you Haylo and Kiss!!
I hadn't watched AoT for a couple of years, started watching your s4 reactions and didn't know what was going on in the first episode so I binged the season and now I've got to wait for you to catch up! Trust me when I say you are my most essential RUclips viewing right now
"This show sucks" but on the battle scenes from last episode "this is sooo epic!!" while her sister felt so annoyed by the brutality 😅
**rubs hands together**
We're exploring all the shades of grey now and we are just getting started.
bro it's pure black and white. the world is wrong and Eldians are right. you can't cry when a lion take one of your legs after pocking him to bite you in the first place.
wow, one of the few reactors who remembered uri and kenny's conversation.
Uri: "You believe in violence, don't you? It is the unavoidable truth of this world. But... the two of us were on an unstoppable path of mutual destruction. What was it that turned us into friends? Was it violence?"
Kenny: "Hah... Beats me. All I can say is that if ya hadn't grabbed me with that huge arm of yours I would've been stuffin' your head full of shit. Before we ever became 'friends,' that is."
Uri: "Yes... It is un unavoidable truth... But I still believe in what happened that day. That miracle."
The royal family feared the Ackermans and persecuted them, Kenny hated the royal family for that. But even with all his power, why did Uri reiss spared Kenny's life and even bowed to him and apologized? Whatever the reason, That act is what made those two enemies become friends.
Willy tybur revealed to the whole world that karl Fritz is the one who saved the world, and the reason the world is still living is because of the karl Fritz vow renouncing war. And now founder was stolen by eren. A threat to humanity.
Willy declared war but what if, just like uri, Even with all the Power of Titans, the people of paradis made their intentions clear that they just want peace?
The whole plan of willy tybur would've failed.
But any chance of that miracle happening again is gone the moment eren launched his attack on liberio and made them the victims just like willy planned.
Yeah, since Eren knew the future, he could've opened up to Armin, persuaded Hizuru a bit more to help them stage a similar "Declaration of Peace" event at Hizuru before Willy could do his, reiterate that it's Marley using the titans for domination. It might not work, but Paradis never really tried to do much. They were at the starting line then Eren just javelin-threw all the chances away with this attack.
@@summerchild5141 Yep, this is what would've happened...
if Eren wasn't a garden-variety idiot who got his hands on power.
she's like Eren !!
@@Azetaris yes.
体感でこのエピソードから最終回まで一瞬でした。
please discuss the character developments...like how Jean before and Jean now....for me the growth of jean is so important and relatable...
One big thing I want to point out is that sometimes the anime misses extremely subtle moments from the manga. When Levi told Eren he never thought he would see the dead inside look from Eren, Eren's eyes don’t stay dead. He actually looks surprised.
Also no about Marley. They only wanted Paradis for Eren's titan to control the world themselves. They weaponized titans against the rest of the world already. If anyone isn't to blame on Marley, it would be the Eldians, excluding the Tyber family.
What about the atrocities that Marley committed on Eldians. Is blaming another generation for the sins of their forefathers sane?!?
Potatoes everywhere are safe now 🥔
😂 they worship Gabi now.
Yelena is the tall female Marleyan soldier, she’s a simp for Zeke.. you mistakenly thought she is Armin because she’s a blonde with the same haircut as Armin.. the difference is that she’s a very very tall woman
And she has a(n amazing) deeper voice!
And both characters voiced by female actors. Thats probably added to confusion.
I was like, "is that a peanut on the title?" and the saw the thumbail and eps, "ah, that's a potato"
Falco is just equally empathetic as Tanjiro 😭😭😭 they did great casting HANAE NATSUKI for the role 😭😭😭
Falco's voice actor is actually the same one as Tanjiro's
No . Gabi asked Falco if he had seen what he heard because Gabi literally witnessed the massacre , she witnessed her friends got trampled . So her words and emotions are heavier than the empathy falco has for the enemy just because he HEARD it .
Armin and Hange have always kept the communication open, begging the other side to just stop killing and talk, but they weren't listening.
Fun fact: Yelena (the blonde woman with Zeke) is one of the tallest non-Titan characters in the show.
Officially she’s 6’3” (190cm) but People have analysed her height in the manga relative to other characters and objects, obviously it’s not that consistent because of perspective and whatnot but she averages out at 6’7 (200cm)
1 min ago is wild. Got that Haylo Kiss timing on fleek
Look forward to these every single week
10:42 remember this moment. When Eren ask what is Sasha's last word..then he laughs at the answer. This will be explained (or implied) at the end of the anime. Then you would go back to this moment and think just how hopeless Eren felt at this very moment. It's very sad.
Tybur declarate war because he knows the founder titan is not with king Fritz anymore, the founder it's with Eren and that's dangerous, he may use this power to kill everyone.
"At this point ... I cant eaxaclty killl Reiner."
Damn the double meaning xD
Very slight spoiler for the next few episodes about Sasha's last words, but it's easy to miss without some knowledge about japanese language:
Sasha's last words as interpreted in this scene: "Are we eating yet? Meat..." which is mildly funny and plausible considering her personality, but the truth is a lot sadder.
Sasha's actual last words: "Are we eating yet, Nick?"
"Meat" in japanese is "niku" so basically the same pronunciation as "Nick" especially considering she was dying and not talking super clearly.
Sasha's boyfriend who has yet to be introduced as of this episode is a chef named Niccolo, so it's implied she simply called him "Nick" or she just didn't manage to say his full name before she died.
私もそう思います。
Wow, that's a deep take, but I don't think so.

That'd mean Eren's reaction to this and the flashback he had would lose its significance. I think it was intended like this to keep her character.
Obviously she'd care more about niku (meat) than Nicku (Niccolo) especially when she isn't thinking clearly. She isn't the type to think about boyfriends.
@@ReneGade_1911 The misunderstanding is the whole point. Everyone of her friends misunderstood because how plausible it seemed for her character, but we, the readers, piece it together when we learn of her relationship with Nicolo.
It's like a one-two punch of emotional impact
She said meat.
I feel like that doesn’t really make sense tho because in the AOT world, the language they’re speaking isn’t Japanese
Rest in peace Sasha, you were a good potato woman
😢🥔🕊️
6:01 when that ost plays one the one that suit him very much would be amazing
6:32: nice version of the whole anime community response after this ep aired
My point exactly no one wanted to DIALOGUE which was sad war solves nothing just continues the whole cycle of hate
One of the things I don't like very much about this season is the way Yelena is introduced. Some people takes her for Armin, but basically she comes out of nowhere. There'll be plenty of explanations later, but still I think they could have plotted this differently. Or at least make her a redhead 😁
For real, she is just a terrible character that comes out of nowhere with barely any purpose
There's blonde hair everywhere in this show but every time I see people react like "Oh that must be Armin's mom" to the first appearance of the female titan. Armin or his family.. they are everywhere lol probably just because he's part of the main trio
Maybe it was deliberate to make people think it's Armin after puberty, or to confuse people "we have seen Armin he's there" "we haven't yet" "oh he's on the boat 😧"
I kind of wish they explored Sasha a bit further than "haha she hungry" before killing her off, she had one episode where she was more than comic relief and that was it.
Never clicked on a notification so fast🤧
Fact: Isayama had already decided to kill Sasha in the story long time ago.
First time, he decided to kill her in S2 when she's saving the girl, he even finished the draft, when the editor asks him about this, he said "Based on my intuition as the author, I think is time to end her life here." but after his considering, he hesitated, so he changes the story and let her alive.
Second time, he decided to kill her in S3 when she injured by the armor titan, but based on the same reason, he gave up again...
Sasha has always been a character that brings fun situations, so I feel like the meaning of her death will only get heavier from here on out.
the last words of Sasha have a double meaning, Niko means meat in Japanese but it is also the name of the man she loved
Kinda reminds me of the whole palestine vs israel conflict , Russia vs ukraine,
Or most of the real iife wars anyway.
both sides think they are right and both are getting hurt in the process, continueing the circle of hatred... to a point where generations and generations are being born inside it and knowing ONLY this, thus becoming hard or even impossible to stop the circle of hatred.
Gabi is the same kid Eren was.
To her, they are right and paradis are devils who threaten their existance.
But to eren it's also the same thing....Eren was just a kid when the armored titan broke the wall and saw everything he loved getting destroyed and killed before his eyes.
So who is right?
Who is wrong?
Paradis?
Marley?
Both?
None?
There is no real answer.... It's just a fucked up and innevitable situation that will just happen and it just sucks.. Just like real life conflicts.
Russia and Ukraine is not comparable AT ALL. Russia invaded without any reason and are now committing war crimes. All Ukraine has done is defend themselves
Hey! I dont know if anyone told you, and you havent looked through the episode list to save any chance of spoilers. The last two episodes are "specials", the first of the last being an hour and eleven minutes and the second being about and hour and a half. Just cause we are getting close and the end of the show is kinda long, have a great end to your week!
2:50 “gold experience!”
The Tyburs and Marley didn't force anyone's hand. Eren and Zeke were already planning to attack. This is why Eren had time to inform the scouts to come. Why Levi knew brfore hand that Zeke was going to take a dive and that zeke was on their side why Eren was under ground with Reiner waiting to strike as soon as Willie Tybur revealed the truth and declared War on Paradis. Eren played to attack Marley even before Mayley declared war. In actuality Zeke tricked Willie and Marley in to declaring War and forced their hand in order to draw out the War Hammer so Eren can eat it.
"Throw that child out!" 😂😂😂😂
Okay, something you should know is that Marley was always going to invade Paradis. As mentioned earlier, the ware slowly losing their position as the most dominant nation. As technology advanced, more countries had built weapons to combat titans (the anit-titan artillery) making the use if titans obsolete. So keep Marley and their titans as the dominant force in the world they planned to go to Paradis and take the founding titian for themselves (there was also something about a natural resource that's in Paradis that they wanted too). That's the mission Reiner, Bertholdt, Annie, and Marcel were on. And since they failed and lost two titans, other nations saw that as an opportunity to attack (wait this gets explained next ep, aww well)
But now that they know Eren has the founding titan, they decided to spin the narrative that now that he has the founding the island of Paradis posses a threat to the world (even though everyone already hated them to begin with). That's why Willy decided to reveal the truth about King Fritz to further antagonize Eren and get the support from the rest of the world
So whether Eren had the founding titan of Frieda kept it, this invasion was still happening.
The irony of Jean being saved by the boy that he almost killed an episode ago
11:07 keep this written down as a side note it has meaning later on when this is all over, theirs a reason hes making this face.
Oh so Kiss is hellbent on mixing up Yelena and Armin LOL!
remember sasha was a character that was only a side character who was to die during 4th episode when they were recruits but isayama's editor begged him to prolong sasha's character because he liked her then she was supposed to die saving kaya from the titan but he again begged isayama isayama surely prolonged her life but never spared her 😂😂 but look at how a side character who was supposed to die in 4th ep became a so much loved character
No one tries to talk to the other side
I meant look at US & China
Or the current war
Sure ppl will be like. But this country is this and that did this and did that
Exactly like AoT portrayed
Sasha fell to the ground, taking with her all of Irene's hopes and dreams. Gabi's bullet was the final nail in Irene's coffin.
Irene??
They mashed my potato girl 💔
😂😭
A pun? Too soon.
NOOO STOP 😭
5:13 impossible shot
Faze Gabi. Gabi Payne(Max Payne). Gabi Wick(they killed her guards, they'll pay).
Nahhh, Sasha really got flanked 💀 💀
I've always been very worried about Falco, I've always felt sorry for him. He always got undeservedly.
*”Wait.” - Karissa, 2024*

When you recover, even a little, and continue watching, you will know that you can still love this masterpiece 👊👊👊
Erwin's death was the catalyst, after his passing everyone in the scout regiment was borderline-sui€id@l.
エレンがライナーみたいになり、ガビがエレンみたいになり、ファルコがアルミンみたいになって交差していく物語がおもしろい🎵
Always remember, nothing in this anime is pointless.
10:47 always grief laughs
Glad you guys didn't ruin your makeup for this episode. Luv ur reactions 🤍
"throw that child out 💀"
Sasha said niku=meat but also you can hear niku like nikolò
Irrelevant. The kanji in the text is the kanji for "meat" not "Niccolo". Also she never had any feelings for Niccolo and they weren't a couple. Hopefully this is enough to clear things up.
it's so crazy how they insisted that Yelena was Armin until this episode. They're literally just in the same scene
I was bawling my eyes out in this episode 🥺😭
You should 100% react to the Pantheon series. Another where nothing is black and white. And it's honestly incredibly well done. More people need to watch it.
Aot before this episode: titans and humans fighting
Aot after this episode: humans fighting
OMG. It's been years and I'm still learning something new in AOT😮 From the last episode, it became clear to me about the Tybur's plan to bait Eren and his real hatred towards Eldians. This episode I learned that the story told on the stage was real and not made up just to paint Eren as the enemy. King Fritz really chose peace and lived in Paradis Island but the Tybur family didn't tell a single truth until an outsider without the royal blood stole the founding titan's power. It is indeed a real threat to the whole world but things could've been handled better if both parties atleast try to talk to each other.
“Humans will continue to fight each other until only one or none left.”
welcome to season 4 lol, where everyone feels like they don't like the show anymore, and that what makes it great, it reach the feelings and they are pretty good at that
This was the episode that spurred a lot of hatred for Gabi. To this day, there are still many fans who don’t like her, despite the arc she goes through.
every ep from now on is gonna be crazy
Sasha just killed lots of people why is hyer getting killed so bad. Also throw that child out! WoW! I love AOT. It brings to the surface the devil in all of us.
Not enough I guess because she had the shot and could kill Gabi but decided not to. In fact, ANYONE that had the chance to kill Gabi but decided not to lived to regret it.
