Alejandro Magno He’s honestly the most interesting one. He’s the only main character who grew up normally. He was so selfish in the beginning and really just an asshole. He wanted to live safely with the Military Police. He got selfishly mad when Trost was invaded. His home town. And then Marco died and he changed so much from there. He didn’t mature as early as the main 3 did, and that’s exactly why he has been so interesting to watch. Gotta love Jean❤️
I considered Reiner a goat for escaping like that and saving Armin too, i was as hurt as Eren when i found out the truth. I didnt even notice him winking the direction towards Eren to Annie, was just glad manz made it.
It's still pretty cool, in spite of everything. The way he comes out of her grasp in a spin and all her fingers go flying is an amazing visual and a real show of his skills, as he was the 2nd best of the entire group (and I'm sure that Annie was squeezing him more than necessary as she hated his guts back then.)
+Ieva Jachimaviciute SPOILER ALERT if he does I will die First L out of death note (whole different anime) but not two of my favourite characters out of animes but at least Levi would still be alive but I still Don't want Airmin to die
+Ieva Jachimaviciute and also is it just me or I watch English Dubbed But did Airmin said avenge that suicidal manic instead of that suicidal Bastard am I right?
I love the way Jean kisses his sword and then jumps off his horse and the baddass music plays. Can't explain why but it gave me chills. This is when Jean became one of my favourites.
Jean is my absolute favorite. His character is amazing because he is always scared but he leads and fights anyway because he is able to overcome his fear with concern for his squad mates. He is a complete badass.
ScorchtheHawk .i think reiner wrote something on her hand with his sword because she kept looking at it. she is not dumb so i think she was reading a message
Armin’s comment was actually pretty brilliant as it was designed to both help save Jean and also give Armin a clearer idea of the Female Titan’s objective and her identity. Emotionally screaming out about his best friend rushing to his death implies that the Female Titan had accidentally killed Eren earlier on. Her abrupt pause more or less confirms his hunch that she’s searching for the Yeager boy and that she probably wants him alive. Furthermore, by purposely omitting Eren’s name it also suggests to Armin that the Female Titan is someone who personally knows both him and Eren.
@@chief8268basically armin had suspiciouns over the identity of the female titan already. To save Jean, he started yelling about how the titan accidentally killed eren, although in a way not to reveal his name. The subtitles are wrong here, usually he says “avenge the suicidal maniac” which is erens infamous name among the 104 cadets. So, he managed to save jean, and figure out the identity and motive of the female titan (to capture eren alive) all under pressure
Bro, I still get goosebumps to this day. Of course now the more you know, the more you feel like it doesn't make a difference. However, if everyone has caught up to the end of the Four Season at this point, then you know about the circumstances. But pure Nostalgia, if you look back on the first season, yeah this show Reiner to be the 🐏 whenever everyone else was just dying because of her
Amazing how he never addressed that topic for 8 FUCKING YEARS. He left it in the air, a lot of people stopping caring because the plot moved on. And then in Chapter 131 Isayama just: "You seriously don't get it?" "I don't..." And the fandom was like: "I mean with Armin makes sense after all , but why Annie..? OH SHIT NOW IT MAKES SENSE WHY SHE SPARED HIM! WAIT THAT WOULD ALSO EXPLAIN WHY THE WHOLE SCENE OF DISCOVERING ANNIE SHE WAS ONLY TALKING ARMIN!! HOLD UP, THAT ALSO EXPLAIN WHY SHE, etc..." Isayama is a genius

From a tactical standpoint, she should have killed him. But she didn't. Twice. AoT isn't exactly the story for plot armour, so that reason goes out the window.

@@wishivani and if she stopped because shes human, she woudlnt of killed all those other soldiers, she knows armin, she has a sof spot for him, and the only reason she DIDNT kill JEAN is because armin interrupted
SPOILERS!!! Reiner is a good actor, on the other hand he tends to have amnesia. Sometimes he thinks he is a warrior, other times he believes himself a soldier, and he switches sides. :P Annie definitely dislikes him. I have no idea whether she really wanted to kill Reiner at that time or not, but she never liked him.
SPOILER He has some sort of multiple personality disorder, so it's not really "acting". I think it was his reaction to stress, he basically created "the soldier" to deal with huge pressure. I think that his friendship and feelings towards comrades weren't fake, they were true for "the soldier".
I started out really hating Jean at first but he kind of snuck his way into my heart, I really felt for him when he mourned over Marco's death. He better not die in the next season or else I'll be flipping tables!!!!!
My mind gets blown every time I go back and look at previous scenes. Always tons of foreshadowing and things you don't realize or notice till much later.
Fun fact: When Armin said "Jean! Avenge my friend!" He was reffering to Eren which made the Female Titan/Annie making her think she accidentally crushed Eren while rushing to go find Eren so that Armin could save Jean.
Definitly Armored and Colossal Titan arc were the best also the sales were the highest in that year its a pity that the Domestic-arc its the opposite of that magnificent arc
I have not read the manga, but I can spot what's going on. 1: 0:18 Annie deliberately blows off Jeans hood. 2: 0:20 Annie knocks Armin off the horse on purpose to see who it was. 3: 0:38 Armin realizes who the female titan might be. 4: 1:12 Armin confirms his suspicion by yelling out to Jean " This one killed my friend, the suicidal bastard! " This shocks Annie and she freezes up to contemplate what Armin just said. 5: 1:41 Riener takes off his hood, Which is weird, Armin told all of them to cover up and Annie spent the first part of the attack de-hooding both Jean and Armin. Another weird part, the look exchange between Riener and Annie before she grabs him. And last but not least, Annie changes direction. Earlier Armin told both Riener and Jean that he thinks Eren is in the rear flank. Both Riener and Jean had Eren located somewhere else. I can't put my finger on it but it seems something weird going on between Riener and Annie. Why did he pull his hood off? So Annie could see???
Deadpeng Zheng Nope, he just read the manga. Why else would he say "I have no read the manga". Because he pointed out the exact things that were exposed on the manga.
Damn. Armin is such an awesome character. I mean, when he has to do something, he just does it. Also, without his help, Eren, Mikasa, Jean etc. would already be dead by now.
Armin playing 4D chess on the fly. I love those typically "weak" characters who are actually far stronger than they let on simply by being brilliant or cunning.
0:01 Just noticed.... Jean kisses his hand.. before fighting the female titan... The same hand.... From which he had touched Marco's ashes..... These little details is what make this anime.. beyond masterpiece....
For some reason, in this scene, Armin seems so badass. Starting at 0:13, he becomes very crazy yet intelligent. Though some call him weak or shy, he's actually a well formed character. Whoever made the manga and created this scene deserves a cookie! :3
well, I will explain why armin is my favorite character ... he is so intelligent,Briliant person, his IQ must be very high, he puts the pieces together very fast, he does not stop to process information even facing death,when Eren was unconscious in titan shift,only armin make him wakeup and carry that Fucking Boulder to seal the wall. He practically destroyed the plans of titan female, armored and colossal titan FUCKING ALONE, finding each of them, "knowing" their plans and traped each of them on the corner, you know where I'm getting at? WITHOUT HIM HUMANITY WOULD BE DAMNED! All of hes plans works,Hes is the fucking Boss, he is not strong or be better than the others, he just uses his brain, he blames himself for not help the others coz he is physically weak and think he is a dead weight, but he was born to be a Commander\Admiral, HE IS THE REAL BADASS OF THIS ANIME\MANGA!
+Ruhancarlos Condes agreed. he's the reason eren's found the desire to fight every single time. i like eren but with armin is the reason he's useful/not dead. kids a fucking genius
@@thespyer2k Not sure why am I answering to comments years old haha but actually that was just speculation that he carved something that would lead her it wasn't cofnirmed that it happened that way and yeah it looks more real and it is a bigger possibility that he tried to tell her the direction by that head movement I mean he was at one moment crushed in her hands he couldn't possible start drawing on her hands but still it is anime haha.
@@thespyer2k That's just Armin's wrong guess about how exactly the signal was. He was right about the what, but we see here how exactly he signaled it. FT looking at her healing hand is just like the Ape Titan going "ooh ah" after crushing the titan that tried to eat Mike.
After catching up with the manga and rewatching the series for a second time, I realised this whole thing was so damn staged it's amazing. Armin trying to trick Annie into thinking she crushed Eren by accident as a test to know if that titan really is Annie or not and test his theory that they are after Eren for real and know about him. Armin even calls him "suicidal maniac" and "his best friend", each specific qualities of Eren and she stops at that, rather than killing Jean, 90 percent confirming Armin's suspicion that it's a titan shifter under there, and further narrowing it down to people in the same cadet regiment as him and Eren with his choice of words getting such a reaction. Another 10 seconds of thinking and this mystery wouldve been in the bag. Unfortunately he already told Reiner about his theory about Eren being in the centre rear, who also noticed how dangerously close Armin was getting to reveal the female titans identity. This causes Reiner to go into action before it's too late serving the double purpose of also stopping Armin's thought process temporarily, as his dear friend is facing a deadly, intellectual titan after all. And notice here that Reiner removed his hood that was supposed to keep him anonymous to bring home the point he has important info to give to Annie and that something is up. Reiner then deliberately does a wide arc in front of annie and towards her arm area as an indication to grab him, she does a knowing smile at this to show that she gets it and grabs him. Just before he gets "crushed", he WINKS and TILTS his head to the direction eren is in (look close). He then cuts himself out to avoid suspicion and boom, she now knows Eren is alive and which direction she should check and that Armin was bullshitting, all in one subtle movement. And immediately after she ignores them and goes in the exact direction reiner nodded to. Also notice how bullshit the way he cut himself out is, especially from that position. Isayama is amazing.
You are right, back in the day it didn't look staged. It looked like a risky event that went along because Reiner was a badass. But what is also the best thing? Armin realized time later that something was not right and not only with Annie, but also with Reiner. Armin couldn't believe how stupidly Reiner survived and how suspicious was Annie's run. It was the same about being Armin the one discovering Annie. It could have been anyone else. But Armin discovering Annie and made it look like Annie felt deeply betrayed by Armin, meant a lot in the Last Manga Chapter (Chapter 131).
@@rodrigomora1178 Agreed, another couple things were how in the beginning when eren was talking about the colossal titan, the camera focused on bertholdt and the same for Reiner about when they were talking about the armoured. Another tiny hint was how badly bertholdt and reiner were shitting bricks when they saw Zeke turn up for the first time while everyone else was simply scared and wondering why it was so damn hairy. And little hints such as how suspicious reiner and annie were in wanting to make this titan their ally (titan shifters and all that). And them looking terrified, especially reiner, when they hear the cannon shot at eren as it seemed their founding attack titan was executed along with their mission being destroyed at the first sign of seeing the titan smoke. Among a whole host of other things such as talking about his "homeland" alot and that being his driving force to get back to, which makes alot more sense now that we know he is simply talking about marley Along with the season 2 reiner speech making far more sense once you read on about the warrior program, and that he was actually serious, not just insane on the brink of snapping like a twig. That's a lotta easter eggs
@Chipo Bh Agreed, but I just assumed they would go visit their destroyed village like connie did for closure. And they call it homeland because its dear to them, damn were we wrong.
I still like him too but not as much. He kind of went crazy and I do think either the ape, parents or someone else forced then because he did say " we were only kids. We didn't know" or something like that in the manga.
Fun fact: when Jean “kissed his sword” he wasn’t actually kissing the handle, he was kissing the had that held Marco’s ashes in the beginning of season 1.
This animé has such a "rewatchability" factor because everytime you watch a new season, it changes your perspective on how you see it and then you want to rewatch it to look for hidden details and foreshadowings.
i was okay until the day i knew the reason jean kissed his hand was because that was the hand that held marco's ashes before he went to face the female titan 😃
People really don't see how good Jean was with the ODM gear. Fires grapple into shoulder, notices Titan turn to attack, fires second grapple into thigh with boosted gas to dodge and uses the momentum to swing around with potential to go for the nape. Levi Squad potential.
0:51 according to the "aot things you didn't know" vid, the flip jean does there is the slow-mo flip done in the 1st opening by a random dude who looks like jean
***** It just sucks that we see characters develop overtine and u fall in love with them. Then bam there gone, I'm so glad they decided not to kill off Sasha.
Fun Fact: At 0:00 Jean Kisses his hand likely as a remembrance to Marco, whose ashes were held in the same hand an episode prior. Perhaps it’s a reminder that he’s fighting in the honor of his best Friend.
I had so much respect for Reiner in this scene but when I read the Manga I was like,why Reiner? how could you? But this scene also gave me some respect for Jean because in the beginning he was a prick and now he cares about people and is trying to save them
Bruh I just realized why Armin was shouting that stuff......... He was pretending the guy she killed was EREN so she can get CONFUSED. ALREADY SUSPECTING ANNIE TO BE THE FEMALE TITAN
Reiner is always going to one of my faves no matter what. he is my 3rd favourite character behind Eren and Mikasa. he's such a beast and has an important role in the story!
No ur not the only one! :) He is one of my fave characters!!! But i think its weird that he, even though he's not that good at fighting always survives, and others who are 4 times better at it that he is, die! It weird! But he's my favourite character so i shouldn't complain :)
And I thought Jean was that useless character... TBH I'm liking he's character more and more, he's coward, sometimes scared, but I know he can fight and lead the others and he just keeps growing in me and that's the part where I was all wrong all the time! I Should never underestimate someone.
I remember the first time I saw this and I thought Reiner actually died, I was just so hurt. And that's sorrow in Jean's voice and on his face when he said "Reiner" was about to make me tear up.
The only thing I could think at 2:22 was 'That's how one pronounces Reiner, bitches!' *And for fuck's sake, does every **_fucking_** manga reader have to spoil it?*
*POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT!* What surprises me the most is that Armin, with all his supposed intelligence, doesn't pick that immediately after this happened, the female titan knew Eren's location. That alone should've warranted keeping a closer eye on Reiner. But what really cracks my balls is that nobody seemed to give a fuck that Reiner was basically crushed, then somehow got away without a single scratch on him.
When you realize that every scene with reiner bertholdt and annie has hints saying they are the enemy. Just like in this one. Reiner remove his hood right before he attacks Annie so that she would know its him and get the info for Erens location by winking
I didn't notice it when I first watched it, but Reiner deliberately takes off his hood even though the plan was to keep them on (so Annie would recognize him and not kill him). That's a nice little touch
Rewatching this is so good! Not only Armin’s shout to clarify that the female titan was after Eren AND that she was someone who knew him 104th - but also Reiner taking off his hood before joining the fight to show Annie who he was.
Who else thinks armored titan theme fits Jean only, like he looked bad ass while facing the female titan, also with the theme playing, I think it should be Jeans theme.
Jean deserves a gold star for being the most changed character in the anime.
Ehm, wait until u see eren
iOSGAMING
To be fair, he made this comment 3 years ago, far before the new Eren that attacked Liberio was written into the Manga.
*_SIKE!!

@@tooswaggy3866 DUDE I ACTUALLY THOUGHT YOUR COMMENT SAID "39 years ago" 💀💀
I started out really hating Jean at first but he kind of snuck his way into my heart, I really felt for him when he mourned over Marco's death. He better not die in the next season or else I'll be flipping tables!!!!!
Omg I was just like you. xD I hated him too but after Marco's death I began to understand him more. Now I love him.
suraangel101 He only changed because of Eren aka blockhead
Nunya Bidness At first I thought he‘s gonna be that one asshole that every series has, but he has become my favorite character!
This comment aged well
oh boi
"Why I didn't kill you then"
Annie, realising that she has feelings for Armin.
Hmmm well yeah now she catches him in her palm😂
Hmmm well yeah now she catches him in her palm😂
I want to be that blade Jean kisses.
Doesn't everybody.
Jean wasn't kissing his blade, he was kissing the hand that held Marco's ashes.
+Levi Ackerman I want to be his hand then XD
Alicia Luzolo lol 😂
Horse lookin ass kissed a blade and then liked it
My mind gets blown every time I go back and look at previous scenes. Always tons of foreshadowing and things you don't realize or notice till much later.
Fun fact: When Armin said "Jean! Avenge my friend!" He was reffering to Eren which made the Female Titan/Annie making her think she accidentally crushed Eren while rushing to go find Eren so that Armin could save Jean.
1:10
Female titan arc was the best arc. This was probably the most important scene in the series.
What about the Armored and Colossal titan arc?
Definitly Armored and Colossal Titan arc were the best also the sales were the highest in that year its a pity that the Domestic-arc its the opposite of that magnificent arc
There is no such thing as Colossal Titan and Armor titan arc... They basically has quick scenes. Female titan arc took like 9 episodes.
han rong chen
You just watched the anime I guess ?
Kevin Yilmaz its actually called clash of the titans arc
*annie holding reiner
Annie: remember when you almost choked me to death?
Reiner: *intense sweating
RIP all the horses that we're slapped
GalaxyBanana GT Wait are you talking about Jean?
Jeans family keeps getting abused by titan shifters :(
I have not read the manga, but I can spot what's going on.
1: 0:18 Annie deliberately blows off Jeans hood.
2: 0:20 Annie knocks Armin off the horse on purpose to see who it was.
3: 0:38 Armin realizes who the female titan might be.
4: 1:12 Armin confirms his suspicion by yelling out to Jean " This one killed my friend, the suicidal bastard! " This shocks Annie and she freezes up to contemplate what Armin just said.
5: 1:41 Riener takes off his hood, Which is weird, Armin told all of them to cover up and Annie spent the first part of the attack de-hooding both Jean and Armin. Another weird part, the look exchange between Riener and Annie before she grabs him.
And last but not least, Annie changes direction. Earlier Armin told both Riener and Jean that he thinks Eren is in the rear flank. Both Riener and Jean had Eren located somewhere else. I can't put my finger on it but it seems something weird going on between Riener and Annie. Why did he pull his hood off? So Annie could see???
Lol you are good at deduction.
Deadpeng Zheng
Nope, he just read the manga. Why else would he say "I have no read the manga". Because he pointed out the exact things that were exposed on the manga.
Perf Xes ok so your point is he is lying?
Yed
I added that I have not read the manga so assholes won't add spoilers.
Damn. Armin is such an awesome character. I mean, when he has to do something, he just does it. Also, without his help, Eren, Mikasa, Jean etc. would already be dead by now.
@Pieck is best girl I'm still alive though. I agree with your comment and your username
lmao
No one noticed how Reiner was perfectly fine and healed after escaping the titans grip? Amazing
Armin playing 4D chess on the fly. I love those typically "weak" characters who are actually far stronger than they let on simply by being brilliant or cunning.
bruh take me back to these times where i didnt know shit and the stroy wasnt so dark and deep like right now
Jean and Armin have an underrated friendship. I mean, armin always saving him.
0:01 Just noticed.... Jean kisses his hand.. before fighting the female titan... The same hand.... From which he had touched Marco's ashes.....
These little details is what make this anime.. beyond masterpiece....
For some reason, in this scene, Armin seems so badass. Starting at 0:13, he becomes very crazy yet intelligent.
Though some call him weak or shy, he's actually a well formed character.
Whoever made the manga and created this scene deserves a cookie! :3
well, I will explain why armin is my favorite character ... he is so intelligent,Briliant person, his IQ must be very high, he puts the pieces together very fast, he does not stop to process information even facing death,when Eren was unconscious in titan shift,only armin make him wakeup and carry that Fucking Boulder to seal the wall. He practically destroyed the plans of titan female, armored and colossal titan FUCKING ALONE, finding each of them, "knowing" their plans and traped each of them on the corner, you know where I'm getting at? WITHOUT HIM HUMANITY WOULD BE DAMNED! All of hes plans works,Hes is the fucking Boss, he is not strong or be better than the others, he just uses his brain, he blames himself for not help the others coz he is physically weak and think he is a dead weight, but he was born to be a Commander\Admiral, HE IS THE REAL BADASS OF THIS ANIME\MANGA!
Ruhancarlos Condes Yeah, he should be a commander, though he lacks in physical strength.
+Awesomeanime12 you know what would be MORE awesome? see him kill a titan by himself :D
Amen. Armin is amazing.
+Ruhancarlos Condes agreed. he's the reason eren's found the desire to fight every single time. i like eren but with armin is the reason he's useful/not dead. kids a fucking genius
MY THOUGHTS
Did anybody see how reiner signalled to the forest where eren was with his head at 2:12
.
Pretty sure he didn't. In the Manga it says he carved the message in the palm of her hand. That's why she's looking at it in the end of this video
@@thespyer2k Not sure why am I answering to comments years old haha but actually that was just speculation that he carved something that would lead her it wasn't cofnirmed that it happened that way and yeah it looks more real and it is a bigger possibility that he tried to tell her the direction by that head movement I mean he was at one moment crushed in her hands he couldn't possible start drawing on her hands but still it is anime haha.
@@thespyer2k That's just Armin's wrong guess about how exactly the signal was. He was right about the what, but we see here how exactly he signaled it.
FT looking at her healing hand is just like the Ape Titan going "ooh ah" after crushing the titan that tried to eat Mike.
It is the blonde fight.
Omfg this comment was 6 years ago UNDERRATED cuz i never noticed all of e’m were blondes lmao-
Except jean
@@kimdahyun2893 mhm
Reiner : (￢‿￢ )
Annie : ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
After catching up with the manga and rewatching the series for a second time, I realised this whole thing was so damn staged it's amazing.
Armin trying to trick Annie into thinking she crushed Eren by accident as a test to know if that titan really is Annie or not and test his theory that they are after Eren for real and know about him. Armin even calls him "suicidal maniac" and "his best friend", each specific qualities of Eren and she stops at that, rather than killing Jean, 90 percent confirming Armin's suspicion that it's a titan shifter under there, and further narrowing it down to people in the same cadet regiment as him and Eren with his choice of words getting such a reaction. Another 10 seconds of thinking and this mystery wouldve been in the bag.
Unfortunately he already told Reiner about his theory about Eren being in the centre rear, who also noticed how dangerously close Armin was getting to reveal the female titans identity. This causes Reiner to go into action before it's too late serving the double purpose of also stopping Armin's thought process temporarily, as his dear friend is facing a deadly, intellectual titan after all. And notice here that Reiner removed his hood that was supposed to keep him anonymous to bring home the point he has important info to give to Annie and that something is up.
Reiner then deliberately does a wide arc in front of annie and towards her arm area as an indication to grab him, she does a knowing smile at this to show that she gets it and grabs him. Just before he gets "crushed", he WINKS and TILTS his head to the direction eren is in (look close). He then cuts himself out to avoid suspicion and boom, she now knows Eren is alive and which direction she should check and that Armin was bullshitting, all in one subtle movement. And immediately after she ignores them and goes in the exact direction reiner nodded to. Also notice how bullshit the way he cut himself out is, especially from that position.
Isayama is amazing.
You are right, back in the day it didn't look staged. It looked like a risky event that went along because Reiner was a badass. But what is also the best thing? Armin realized time later that something was not right and not only with Annie, but also with Reiner. Armin couldn't believe how stupidly Reiner survived and how suspicious was Annie's run.
It was the same about being Armin the one discovering Annie. It could have been anyone else. But Armin discovering Annie and made it look like Annie felt deeply betrayed by Armin, meant a lot in the Last Manga Chapter (Chapter 131).
@@rodrigomora1178 Agreed, another couple things were how in the beginning when eren was talking about the colossal titan, the camera focused on bertholdt and the same for Reiner about when they were talking about the armoured.
Another tiny hint was how badly bertholdt and reiner were shitting bricks when they saw Zeke turn up for the first time while everyone else was simply scared and wondering why it was so damn hairy. And little hints such as how suspicious reiner and annie were in wanting to make this titan their ally (titan shifters and all that). And them looking terrified, especially reiner, when they hear the cannon shot at eren as it seemed their founding attack titan was executed along with their mission being destroyed at the first sign of seeing the titan smoke. Among a whole host of other things such as talking about his "homeland" alot and that being his driving force to get back to, which makes alot more sense now that we know he is simply talking about marley
Along with the season 2 reiner speech making far more sense once you read on about the warrior program, and that he was actually serious, not just insane on the brink of snapping like a twig.
That's a lotta easter eggs
@Chipo Bh Agreed, but I just assumed they would go visit their destroyed village like connie did for closure. And they call it homeland because its dear to them, damn were we wrong.
Isayama you 🐐
Hey if you read the manga like me, then you know the significance of this scene ;)
***** Every month
Right ;)
This scene is important to the female titan and the clue to who the armored titan is
I was pretty shock when I was reading the manga. I really liked Reiner and to find out all he did was a shock.
I still like him too but not as much. He kind of went crazy and I do think either the ape, parents or someone else forced then because he did say " we were only kids. We didn't know" or something like that in the manga.
Annie didn't mind killing everyone but Armin, yeah we know you like the guy
136-137 hmmm well
@Ты клоун awesome reddit keanu chungus everyone liked that
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! THE HORSE!
And I thought nobody else understood me * tears up * Horselover4ever I had the same reaction when I first saw this.
Leah Young I know the feels... ;-;
You guys it ok, jean still alive
glitterrockstar this guy
ikr
I cri everi tiem
Armin,Jean and A DAMN TRAITOR ! "vs" Female Titan
2:02 that smile, i understand why reiner was so afraid. He knew she was going to make him suffer
That's now why she smiled at him G
Fun fact: when Jean “kissed his sword” he wasn’t actually kissing the handle, he was kissing the had that held Marco’s ashes in the beginning of season 1.
This animé has such a "rewatchability" factor because everytime you watch a new season, it changes your perspective on how you see it and then you want to rewatch it to look for hidden details and foreshadowings.
Man I thought Reiner was so badass at the time, little did I know lol
i was okay until the day i knew the reason jean kissed his hand was because that was the hand that held marco's ashes before he went to face the female titan 😃
Fr i was real qurious qbout why he kiseed on hand so i searched why google and the results were uh - sad 🧍♀️
Badass
One of my favorite scenes. I like Jean's character development.
Just hope they don't kill him off.
Same
Well he live till Old Age
People really don't see how good Jean was with the ODM gear. Fires grapple into shoulder, notices Titan turn to attack, fires second grapple into thigh with boosted gas to dodge and uses the momentum to swing around with potential to go for the nape. Levi Squad potential.
2:03 that smile makes more sense now
She's evil and hates Reiner for helping Eren join the military so he's harder to kidnap.
You can't say I'm wrong.
0:51 according to the "aot things you didn't know" vid, the flip jean does there is the slow-mo flip done in the 1st opening by a random dude who looks like jean
This scene is unbaleavably underrated. Jean ODM gear performance is highly underrated. Thats awesome, and that theme just nailed it.
unbelievably*
That's* _or_ That is*
Fingernail*
Seen*
ODST*
Reiner really got an oscar best actor
The way reiner just grabed armin like a bag of rise lmao🤣🗿
0:26 no one gonna talk about that sexy pose??
2:19 Poor Jean looked like he was about to pass out.
innocent youtubers! if you don´t read the manga, beware! the comment section is FULL OF SPOILERS, DON´T GO ANY FURTHER!!!
nah, it's been 2 years and season 2 is coming out 2017 July, wdf can wait that long without spoilers
Adarkerlink Armin turned into a titan in season 2
Karma nope, not in season 2
Nope sorry, Not today I ain't missing out on spoilers
Crazy how Reiner develops in this show, he’s truly my favorite character
When I first watched this I was like no, not jean. Thank god for Armin. ]=
***** It just sucks that we see characters develop overtine and u fall in love with them. Then bam there gone, I'm so glad they decided not to kill off Sasha.
+Hajinj Games Uhm..guys will admin die? He's my fav character...
+Peter Cummings will Armin die...?
Usha Shaheen I highly doubt it. He's 99% going to live so u have nothing to worry about.
Why do you wish death upon Jean he's like one of the best characters
Fun Fact: At 0:00 Jean Kisses his hand likely as a remembrance to Marco, whose ashes were held in the same hand an episode prior.
Perhaps it’s a reminder that he’s fighting in the honor of his best Friend.
And the Oscar goes to Reiner fucking Braun for that amazing acting performance
I had so much respect for Reiner in this scene but when I read the Manga I was like,why Reiner? how could you? But this scene also gave me some respect for Jean because in the beginning he was a prick and now he cares about people and is trying to save them
Who else is here after watching episode 31??
Oh man the music at the end as reiner snatches up armin, its awesome
Do you know the name of that song ? I think its orchestra or something
The bit where Jean realizes he was about to die seemed really powerful to me the music fitted in really well
Jean - *kisses the hand that held Marco's ashes*
Me - OhH MY GOD MY BABY
and no one kisses Annie's hands *FLIPS TABLE*
roblox player Annie's in a fuCKING ROCK RN SHUT UP
she's in a Crystal can't u take a joke -_-
roblox player wow okay chill m8
0:19 I can't get the "let me spank that ass" from a slap on titan out of my hear 😆
Reiner and Annie need an Oscar after that performance
Bruh I just realized why Armin was shouting that stuff.........
He was pretending the guy she killed was EREN so she can get CONFUSED. ALREADY SUSPECTING ANNIE TO BE THE FEMALE TITAN
And he used the nickname "suicidal maniac", which was only known to his fellow cadets from the 104th! It took me a couple of rewatches to get this lol
0:25 “I’m on tonight. You know my hips don’t lie and I’m starting to feel it’s right.”
Reiner is always going to one of my faves no matter what. he is my 3rd favourite character behind Eren and Mikasa. he's such a beast and has an important role in the story!
…no matter what huh?
The horse flying towards Reiner was foreshadowing for the Jean beat down later on 🐴🤜💥🦏
Jean was genuinely worried about Armin.
Okay, I can't be the only one who thinks that Armin looks hot at 1:30 O.O
No ur not the only one! :) He is one of my fave characters!!! But i think its weird that he, even though he's not that good at fighting always survives, and others who are 4 times better at it that he is, die! It weird! But he's my favourite character so i shouldn't complain :)
Anna Hamm That's because he never fights,and is almort behind everyone thinking a plan or something.
TTGFan
true
Isn't he always? ;3
Lyras Otaku Gonna go with you then. :D
And I thought Jean was that useless character... TBH I'm liking he's character more and more, he's coward, sometimes scared, but I know he can fight and lead the others and he just keeps growing in me and that's the part where I was all wrong all the time! I Should never underestimate someone.
I remember the first time I saw this and I thought Reiner actually died, I was just so hurt. And that's sorrow in Jean's voice and on his face when he said "Reiner" was about to make me tear up.
The only thing I could think at 2:22 was 'That's how one pronounces Reiner, bitches!'
*And for fuck's sake, does every **_fucking_** manga reader have to spoil it?*
I read manga and I don't spoil :c the larger portion of the manga reading community are the silent ones, don't let them give all of us a bad name
Yes, because Manga Readers are all apparently heartless bastards, morons or both.
***** Then they should speak up or at least do SOMETHING when the "bad" ones spoil something. :P
2:03 The way annie smiles at the reiner, we could already suspect something 😔 ahh, this betrayal hurts so much 😔😔
Reiner: im gonna straight his neck
Annie: what is this fly
Annie: no one drink my blood!
*POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT!*
What surprises me the most is that Armin, with all his supposed intelligence, doesn't pick that immediately after this happened, the female titan knew Eren's location. That alone should've warranted keeping a closer eye on Reiner. But what really cracks my balls is that nobody seemed to give a fuck that Reiner was basically crushed, then somehow got away without a single scratch on him.
He does notice though, revealed later on (in the manga) after they deal with the female titan business
he did notice immediately. He just didn't mention it and wanted more evidence.
Sheng Tan What seems to make the most sense to me is that Reiner regenerated because he too is a titan. And he looks the most like the armored titan.
FrozenAscent Actually hes the armored titan
drcabbageface yes he is, you can see it at the hair, body, and powerful actions :)
and this theme was played again in the final
still getting goosebumps everytime the soundtrack starts
I actually can't believe this was like 5 years ago, I actually can't believe it
I love Jean. R.I.P. Marco.
SPOOOOOILER
marco is alive in the manga
+Matt Jeevas omg, I hate you now. lmao
+Matt Jeevas no he's not
Ursurpator Zanto i know , it was for give false hopes to marco fans XD
+Matt Jeevas oh sorry then 😁
It would have been so easy for Annie to kill Armin but instead she just goes for the horse and checks to see if he's alright after he falls.
1:59 That smile has a whole new meaning now that I'm on Season 3.
When you realize that every scene with reiner bertholdt and annie has hints saying they are the enemy. Just like in this one. Reiner remove his hood right before he attacks Annie so that she would know its him and get the info for Erens location by winking
I didn't notice it when I first watched it, but Reiner deliberately takes off his hood even though the plan was to keep them on (so Annie would recognize him and not kill him). That's a nice little touch
Rewatching this is so good! Not only Armin’s shout to clarify that the female titan was after Eren AND that she was someone who knew him 104th - but also Reiner taking off his hood before joining the fight to show Annie who he was.
0:35
She really went to check if Armin was okay?
Who else thinks armored titan theme fits Jean only, like he looked bad ass while facing the female titan, also with the theme playing, I think it should be Jeans theme.
Ajmer Thethy Yeah same
Ajmer Thethy Its epic but at the same time uncertain, just like Jean he is not that reliable but will take chance
I watched this episode 7 years ago and this is when Armin became my favorite character.
Knowing what happens next it‘s interesting to re-watch this scene and see just how many hints we got
