"We didn't have a chance to talk this through" It's crazy how Marco's last words back in season one had so much meaning and truth behind them such simple words and yet nobody understood them until now..and even now the hate and rage still is present throughout this heated conversation
It's both stupefying and tragic just how entrenched both sides of this conflict are in enacting violence towards each other for things that happened thousands of years ago. How Marley can't recognize that they have become the very same imperialistic devils that they criticize for oppressing their ancestors. How the Yeagerists want to subject the rest of the world to the horror of the Titans when they should know better than anyone what it's like to be slaughtered for something they have no control over.
BRILLIANT comment, never thought of that significance but you’re spot on. So much could have been avoided, but information was withheld from both sides to eachother. Spine chilling the way that Marco’s last words held so much truth, like if everyone involved just calmly discussed their point of views and missions, maybe some sort of agreement could have ensued .. but pride, suspicion and greed got in the way .. much like in the real world, heh.

Pixis once said humanity will only unite in the face of a common threat , Eren being the common enemy has brought all these people who despised each other just a day ago , understanding each other’s feelings and perspectives , this was a micro version of how to attain peace , let it all out , listen , try to forgive and move on , masterful writing
Loved this episode. Made me realize again how great AOT is at making things realistic. Not with the titans, but the human mind and emotions. These characters feel real human emotions. Regret, jealousy, anger, empathy, forgiveness and it is amazing to see how they grow. They all thought they were doing the right thing. I can understand all their perspectives and takes on the situation.
You loved the way how Mikasa was thrown away like Historia to end up with Jean whom she had no Character development or interaction with whatsoever and not to mention the fact that she was so into Eren but despite that she was married off to a guy within the span of like 2-5 minutes?

You know what would have been a great way to implement Levi into this episode? If he had a few words with Annie and the loss of his member. Especially Petra.

I really feel like the missed out on an opportunity to bring up another beef between the group.
Man your spoiler free recaps really help. I had forgotten why Yelena was even there. With so many characters with their own plot, its easy to forget some of the details.
I personally think it's symbolic. The idea of the forest has been brought up multiple times in the past in regards to darkness, challenge and overcoming suffering/hardship. The shots of the forest really emphasized the sense that this ragtag group of rebels are all in the shit, clawing around trying to get out, further demonstrated by the conflict they have with eachother during this episode, trying to justify their own positions, reconcile their differences with their enemies and come to terms with the reality that brought them into these circumstances. Purely from an entertainment perspective. Yeah, I'd love some more dynamic shots, but the artistic intention is there and it works.
For me personally it felt underwhelming because of Jean's voice. When I read the manga I was envisioning him screaming and crying emotionally as he rampaged on Reiner, but here it just sounds like Jean is grunting hard to put as much strength into each hit he's landing and he doesn't sound that emotional. I don't know if I'm the one that just simply misinterpreted the scene in the manga and expected something wrong or if either the voice actor himself or the director who led the voice actor didn't deliver fully.
@@MyNipplesArePointy oh I actually liked the scene in the anime. Personally I found a lot of the Ymir/paths stuff in the anime underwhelming though, like Eren's speech that she is free.
So you’re telling me, thousands of colossal titans and a giant skeleton Titan absolutely huge is walking in one direction and they don’t know where they are? No burnt footprints in the ground that lead off the island and then it’s just a straight path across the ocean
rewatch the show as jean as the main protagonist who undergoes serious character development in pursuit of winning over the woman of his dreams...totally different experience lol
HEY WHERES THE EP 24 ONE? ALSO THX FOR THESE VIDS THEY ALWAYS MAKE MY DAY BCUS I WAIT FOR THEM EVERY WEEK wow he actually replied that was unexpected sry for the caps and crazyness here btw its bcus i was here only like 2 minutes after it was uploaded and i was rushing lol
I love how Jean knows that ignoring Hanji would give him the life he desired since s1 Also how Hanji understands that genocide is unacceptable but also knows that it's key to their survival yet still wants to stop it
The way hange mentioned to jean how they are forsaking their peace to help those who were trying to kill them reminded me of how thats exactly what real followers of Jesus Christ do in this world
Magath really dose not want to accept the reality of all of this probably because he’s afraid of accepting the fact that in the end marley and the worlds fears only came true because he and Marley made it come true
This happens because of their greed, they already have the power of 7 titan shifters in their hands, yet they still want the founding titan to conquer the world. Then magath have the nerve to say that they will be the one to save the world lol!
Thank you for making these guides. I don't know if I'm not paying attention enough because I'm having to read at the same time but I just don't pick up on some subtle things like the general looking regretful. It helps me to remember the old seasons and to process what's going on better so I appreciate the videos.
I really appreciate how you pronounce all of AOT's characters' names absolutely correctly. It shows a lot of respect for the anime and its creators. Many content creators do not..I guess because of ignorance, or just plain laziness.. It's ANNOYING AF. So thank you Turtle Quirk, for showing this series the proper respect it so richly deserves.
But Reiner killed Marco . All of this is Marley fault. Marley suffered at the hands of the titans . Because Marley was trying to enslave the Eldians . The series is based off Episode 1. That attack alone leaves me with no sympathy for Marley. I’m happy Eren fought back . And finally is getting revenge for the death of his mother . I hope this brings peace to his island . They deserve to have some peace .
Surprise it was also an Eldian who killed eren mother . It was not Dina will , Reiner destroying Maria,and Bertholdt destroying Shigashina. This one Eldian is caused of all Paradis suffering. The very person you are supporting is the same person who led to the walls destruction and killed his own mother. And Paradis will probably never get peace since the world just hate them even more. 1. Because they wiped out 80% of population 2. They literally destroyed Hizuru an allied nation. This just give more of a reason to bomb them. Also if the world doesn’t ,n destroy them than they will just destroy themselves. Many Eldians on Paradis are not fully Yeagerist since 1. The Yeagerist brutality in destroying the chain of command 2. Tried to kill Hizuru one of their few allies 3 .Many lost their family during wall falling apart 4. Eren himself saw the future and could control the past , wouldn’t you be pissed knowing that he could just stop the wall collapsing.
u know eren could've saved her? when he told his father to eat the founding and kill her children he could've told him to save her mother. but instead of that he lied to him and said that was the only way to save her
These videos have helped me so much in fully understanding exactly what I watched and maybe confirming thoughts that I had to prepare for the next episode. Thank you for these videos!
@Jon’s Gaming channel bruh one of my manga friend told me that.... Might be a spoiler for you . . . . She will end with jean...They will even share a kiss together
Every time we get a shot of all the past scouts and MPs who died throughout the show gives me chills. It’s truly powerful. When Jean saw Marco’s sprit, it truly inspired me to make better decisions in my life. The right decision can be so hard to make sometimes.
I was gonna say I've been seeing Jean and mikasa everywhere and I now I know what the hype is lol I thought some people had really early access to next week's episode
I really loved Hange when Jean was trying to reason that the rumbling was necessary for their survival and she said that there's no way to ever justify genocide. She spit some straight up FACTS! The moment you justify genocide is when you truly become the devils you fought not to be. I totally understand Eren. I really do. But sometimes you have to wonder if living is worth sacrificing your humanity. Could you really live with all the guilt in the world for all of your days? For some the answer is yes. For Hange, the answer is always no.
Yes. I could...and I'm sure my descendants would appreciate me for it, cause they got to live. I'm not ever going to sacrifice myself, to save a group that is largely made up of people that hate me for no valid reason. I don't think genocide is morally right, but at this point I'd let it ride unless I had a better plan.
It's also important to note that even in our current world the solution to a nation's safety is frequently provided through a long list of acts of immorality. We get to feel better because these acts are kept secret from us for our own protection. Sometimes the "morally" or "ethically" correct choice won't be the right one for your cause. Now, If people could see into each other's hearts, like Madara explained, we may be able to resolve everything diplomatically. However the reality is we can't, and therefore we'll never trust each others words and actions completely. I think a lot of people are also disillusioned on what they would ACTUALLY do in this situation. Speculating about running into a fire to save someone is a lot different than being on fire yourself and still thinking about saving those in the burning building around you before you put your own flames out.
Definitely team Paradis when it comes to the “who is right” argument. Oh, you Marleians are upset bc the exact thing the king said would happen is happening, all because YOU wouldn’t leave the island alone? That’s tough.
@@zaconmacon565 nah fam. They sent titans to the island for the past century. AND sent the warriors to steal the founder. King Fritz warned everyone to let them live on the island in peace. Marley deserves all the smoke.
@@kinglouie313 it ain't just marley tho. It's every nation besides paradis. Honestly paradise deserves to get bombed they don't care about anything other than themselves
@@zaconmacon565 why shouldn't they though? They had no idea there was anything else in the world but them and titans for 150 years. Only to later find out they were literally surrounded by a world of human enemies that want them dead.
@@kreiyu they want them dead cause of what they did to the world in the past and with what eren is doing now it'll just make them hate paradis even more. Eren truly has master IQ it seems
after each episode, i come to YT to find breakdowns/recaps of AoT and i found your piece of gem channel. i appreciate your analysis out of most AoT episode breakdowns here on YT. you enunciate your words and pronounce the names perfectly. you explain the plot as a whole detailing the references from past episodes/seasons and tie everything back full circle as the story is intended to be told. keep it up and def looking forward to the SERIES FINALE BREAKDOWN PART 2 !!!!!!!!!!
As much as I hate to admit it. Magath lowkey kinda right. Eldians were pieces of shit for 2000 years straight and annihilated so many people. But Marley started taking in Eldia’s footsteps began oppressing innocents who did nothing wrong. Everyone in AOT are victims, except for the first king fritz and Marleyan government.
@@LUUUUU8 the first king is the one who saved the world from eldian And his will was there to make sure that future faunders don't use the power of the founder to cause more war I don't blame him except for "Let all die to redeem our self "
Thanks for all your videos, they help me a lot enjoying way more the show. Hope the personal reasons got sort out and can't wait to see how this alliance unfolds
Hey bro. Great video as always! Just one comment, I don't know why, but your video's volume is always lower compared to other videos. Makes it a bit hard to listen to when not using headphones, and even still, it will be at a higher than usual volume level. Just a thought.
Annie will kill her. In every fight they have been till now, Mikasa almost got killed by Annie in the forest and Levi had to save her dumbass. Annie kicked her ass so hard in their second fight that she got knocked out cold. Annie doesn't even take her seriously. Meanwhile that monster Eren was impaling himself through a sharp wooden pole just get up. Annie might not have any experience for the past four years, but Mikasa has never taken down a titan shifter on her own. She's that overrated.
@@Hash_kw Agreed. Mikasa might be the most skillful soldier after Levi but there's still a huge power gap between her and Levi and Annie is a little bit better than Mikasa.
@@raysacnewton6698 That’s a s1 mikasa vs a s4 mikasa and she hasn’t even been in a situation where she’s fighting a shifter 1 on 1 so that is a useless fact.
This episode was as close as we can get to closure. Reiner getting beaten up was satisfying and the fact that he digested the hate was enough for us to know.
One thing I don’t understand is how did Yelana know about Marco, if I’m not mistaken only Riner, knew about that, and Annie was in a crystal I don’t think even Zeke knew (I’m speaking from an anime only watcher) if there is a spoiler free explanation to this i’d like to know
@@masxedsyfirspyrul9189 Jean had a pretty good idea that Annie was involved because Armin told him that Annie had Marco gear back in season 1 before they captured her.
@@masxedsyfirspyrul9189 considering that Armin ate Bertholdt it wouldn't surprise me that he inherited some of Bertholdt's memories including marco's death and not tell jean but to yelena instead
Reiner woke up the next morning upset that still wasn't enough to kill him. (Possibly didn't know Gabi saved him.)😂😂😂 Reiner: "Why am I still alive. I just want my life over, is that too much to ask??"
i remember in the first season of episode 3, when Jean saw Mikasa for the first time, Jean fell in love with her and i guess he has the same feelings for her now
@ everyone saying Annie was picking a fight: The point of that scene isn't to argue about Annie vs. Mikasa bruh. Everything Annie said was true and tbh Mikasa's infatuation with Eren is gonna be their downfall, so someone had to tell it to her straight up and Annie was the person to do so. She wasn't picking a fight, she was being cautious and realistic. And side note, when they fought before, Isayama revealed it was a tie. It was an equal fight even with Mikasa's Ackerman powers, so Annie would've definitely taken the W if Mikasa didn't have them lol
Side note when the general macath (sorry if that not how you spell his name) points out how Marleyn's have been suffering for 2000 years, look at Gabi's and Riener's face. To them they know that most people on the island didn't even know about the 2000 years of rule.
Marco's death is a major plot point. It was also the moment Annie understood she couldn't kill her friends. From that day on, she spares their lives. Even Eren's. She's basically just trying to scape
What scares me the most is that there’re only 3 episodes left to wrap up the 12 final chapters. They’re going to kill this show by rushing the ending. We’d better get an hour long series finale or something 🧐
Did Levi forget about how his entire squad was wiped out by Annie? Has Hange forgotten what Annie and Reiner have done to the survey corps and the civilians of the Island?? No idea how they can be so eager to team up with their enemies
lmao thats the point yelena was trying to make, but revenge just produce more hurt, and that is how all this mess roll into the end of the world. And to save the world, they must stop the cycle.
@@logansmith9196 Hange already stitched and bandaged Levi beforehand. She then approached Magath and Pieck and deliberately asked to stop the rumbling with them. So not really
@@hugosiu656 yeah and Yelana was spitting facts. You could say Marley was trying to “save the world and end the cycle of hate” by wiping out all the eldians. Also like Jean mentioned, the world will hate eldia even more if they manage to stop the rumbling.

@@MyNipplesArePointy oh I actually liked the scene in the anime. Personally I found a lot of the Ymir/paths stuff in the anime underwhelming though, like Eren's speech that she is free.
Petition to make Reiner’s new name Reindeer✋🏿
damn bro I felt Jean in his every scene.... so sad for him😟
So you’re telling me, thousands of colossal titans and a giant skeleton Titan absolutely huge is walking in one direction and they don’t know where they are? No burnt footprints in the ground that lead off the island and then it’s just a straight path across the ocean
*Millions
kinda
bro they dont know where eren is
@@izsan9070 there are around 500.000 titans, not millions
ikr lol
Worst thing is Jean is 100% correct
Fr😭
Jean has been protagonist level this season and I love it
rewatch the show as jean as the main protagonist who undergoes serious character development in pursuit of winning over the woman of his dreams...totally different experience lol
Agreed. He was central especially in this EP
@@TC-rj9rz Still everyone always get overshadowed with eren lol😭
Jean simps
Hope everything is ok with you and your family! Thanks for taking time out of your day to do these for us.
HEY WHERES THE EP 24 ONE?
ALSO THX FOR THESE VIDS THEY ALWAYS MAKE MY DAY BCUS I WAIT FOR THEM EVERY WEEK
wow he actually replied that was unexpected
sry for the caps and crazyness here btw its bcus i was here only like 2 minutes after it was uploaded and i was rushing lol
Personal thing came up but dw it’ll all be included when I do the full recap for part 2
@@TurtleQuirk oh ok then love ur vids btw
I love how Jean knows that ignoring Hanji would give him the life he desired since s1
Also how Hanji understands that genocide is unacceptable but also knows that it's key to their survival yet still wants to stop it
Hange
The way hange mentioned to jean how they are forsaking their peace to help those who were trying to kill them reminded me of how thats exactly what real followers of Jesus Christ do in this world
Finally……! Been waiting soo long for ur video to understand those weird branch shots dude.
I was like is this some budget cuts
facts
Magath really dose not want to accept the reality of all of this probably because he’s afraid of accepting the fact that in the end marley and the worlds fears only came true because he and Marley made it come true
They manifested it lol
its the cycle of war
a self fulfilling prophecy
This happens because of their greed, they already have the power of 7 titan shifters in their hands, yet they still want the founding titan to conquer the world. Then magath have the nerve to say that they will be the one to save the world lol!
It was going to happen eventually the war between Marley and the eldian empire never ended only was postponed
Hope everything on your end is okay! Thanks for this breakdown and everything you do!
Thank you for making these guides. I don't know if I'm not paying attention enough because I'm having to read at the same time but I just don't pick up on some subtle things like the general looking regretful. It helps me to remember the old seasons and to process what's going on better so I appreciate the videos.
I really appreciate how you pronounce all of AOT's characters' names absolutely correctly. It shows a lot of respect for the anime and its creators. Many content creators do not..I guess because of ignorance, or just plain laziness.. It's ANNOYING AF. So thank you Turtle Quirk, for showing this series the proper respect it so richly deserves.
Except Mikasa…? it’s mikasa, not me-casa
@@ariana_208 stop crying
@@2ozzy407 whooooooosh. he's jokind
The king has returned🥳🥳🙏🏿
But Reiner killed Marco . All of this is Marley fault. Marley suffered at the hands of the titans . Because Marley was trying to enslave the Eldians . The series is based off Episode 1. That attack alone leaves me with no sympathy for Marley. I’m happy Eren fought back . And finally is getting revenge for the death of his mother . I hope this brings peace to his island . They deserve to have some peace .
Surprise it was also an Eldian who killed eren mother . It was not Dina will , Reiner destroying Maria,and Bertholdt destroying Shigashina. This one Eldian is caused of all Paradis suffering. The very person you are supporting is the same person who led to the walls destruction and killed his own mother. And Paradis will probably never get peace since the world just hate them even more. 1. Because they wiped out 80% of population 2. They literally destroyed Hizuru an allied nation. This just give more of a reason to bomb them. Also if the world doesn’t ,n destroy them than they will just destroy themselves. Many Eldians on Paradis are not fully Yeagerist since 1. The Yeagerist brutality in destroying the chain of command 2. Tried to kill Hizuru one of their few allies 3 .Many lost their family during wall falling apart 4. Eren himself saw the future and could control the past , wouldn’t you be pissed knowing that he could just stop the wall collapsing.
u know eren could've saved her? when he told his father to eat the founding and kill her children he could've told him to save her mother. but instead of that he lied to him and said that was the only way to save her
Yeah you want to blame Marley yet eren always is man who caused suffering to his own people
@@mohdfaheem5714 actually is eren that kill his own mother
Yeah i know
These videos have helped me so much in fully understanding exactly what I watched and maybe confirming thoughts that I had to prepare for the next episode. Thank you for these videos!
Glad to have you back!!! I checked everyday for your video! Hope all is well!! Thanks for all your hard-work!
Didnt even realize that was Mikasa..... wonder what I missed in episode 24 guess I will never know 🥲
Well it wasn't obvious. It was just hinted
I knew that she was Mikasa ....but I didn't wanted to accept that...
@Jon’s Gaming channel bruh one of my manga friend told me that....
Might be a spoiler for you

Glad you're back quirk.... but we needed the 24 breakdown before we got this one fam.... hopefully you still make it
You are doing a good job with the breakdowns
I come hear after watching each episode to make sure I didn't miss any background info
Ima be honest, after every episode. I still need a breakdown, yours have been the best by far.
Every time we get a shot of all the past scouts and MPs who died throughout the show gives me chills. It’s truly powerful. When Jean saw Marco’s sprit, it truly inspired me to make better decisions in my life. The right decision can be so hard to make sometimes.
I wish I had found your channel sooner , this is so helpful to better understand each episode i Love it !!!
Lmao Hange being worried of Jean's seconds and Levi just trying to take a nap 😂
Watching this show with your breakdowns is a must! dont leave us anymore
Jean didn't decide to beat the shit out of Reiner, until Reiner said "I'm sorry".
Reiner literally pushed him
@@tttkk4874 push Jean's buttons or physically push Jean? Because I don't think Reiner *literally* pushed Jean. Much less made an effort to strike.
@@Samgreen90 probably u are the dumbest person ever
@@Samgreen90 he meant pushed in the sense that he was apologizing so casually for causing marco's death
@@iramnazir4688 Do you know what the word literally means? He's not the idiot here, you are.
Even the baby looks like Eren, Jean is so loss fr 😭
I was gonna say I've been seeing Jean and mikasa everywhere and I now I know what the hype is lol I thought some people had really early access to next week's episode
I really loved Hange when Jean was trying to reason that the rumbling was necessary for their survival and she said that there's no way to ever justify genocide.
She spit some straight up FACTS! The moment you justify genocide is when you truly become the devils you fought not to be.
I totally understand Eren. I really do. But sometimes you have to wonder if living is worth sacrificing your humanity. Could you really live with all the guilt in the world for all of your days? For some the answer is yes. For Hange, the answer is always no.
This is a great point. Reiner thought he was doing good and could live with it and look at him now.
True, but guilt will last uptill one generation, but atleast their future generations will have freedom, and prolly won't be affected by the guilt.
Sometimes, looking out for oneself ain't wrong
Yes. I could...and I'm sure my descendants would appreciate me for it, cause they got to live. I'm not ever going to sacrifice myself, to save a group that is largely made up of people that hate me for no valid reason. I don't think genocide is morally right, but at this point I'd let it ride unless I had a better plan.
It's also important to note that even in our current world the solution to a nation's safety is frequently provided through a long list of acts of immorality. We get to feel better because these acts are kept secret from us for our own protection. Sometimes the "morally" or "ethically" correct choice won't be the right one for your cause.
Now, If people could see into each other's hearts, like Madara explained, we may be able to resolve everything diplomatically. However the reality is we can't, and therefore we'll never trust each others words and actions completely.
I think a lot of people are also disillusioned on what they would ACTUALLY do in this situation. Speculating about running into a fire to save someone is a lot different than being on fire yourself and still thinking about saving those in the burning building around you before you put your own flames out.
Definitely team Paradis when it comes to the “who is right” argument. Oh, you Marleians are upset bc the exact thing the king said would happen is happening, all because YOU wouldn’t leave the island alone? That’s tough.
They wouldn't leave them alone cause paradis attacked them. Anyone would get PTSD for that look from the other side bro
@@zaconmacon565 nah fam. They sent titans to the island for the past century. AND sent the warriors to steal the founder. King Fritz warned everyone to let them live on the island in peace. Marley deserves all the smoke.
@@kinglouie313 it ain't just marley tho. It's every nation besides paradis. Honestly paradise deserves to get bombed they don't care about anything other than themselves
@@zaconmacon565 why shouldn't they though? They had no idea there was anything else in the world but them and titans for 150 years. Only to later find out they were literally surrounded by a world of human enemies that want them dead.
@@kreiyu they want them dead cause of what they did to the world in the past and with what eren is doing now it'll just make them hate paradis even more. Eren truly has master IQ it seems
after each episode, i come to YT to find breakdowns/recaps of AoT and i found your piece of gem channel. i appreciate your analysis out of most AoT episode breakdowns here on YT. you enunciate your words and pronounce the names perfectly. you explain the plot as a whole detailing the references from past episodes/seasons and tie everything back full circle as the story is intended to be told. keep it up and def looking forward to the SERIES FINALE BREAKDOWN PART 2 !!!!!!!!!!
Jeans been in love with Mikasa since the first season how no one knew that lol
Dude, I'm just so happy that your channel exists
I like how general magath is sitting there acting like he's a victim
Making an argument about what happened 2000 y ego
the power of propaganda
As much as I hate to admit it. Magath lowkey kinda right. Eldians were pieces of shit for 2000 years straight and annihilated so many people. But Marley started taking in Eldia’s footsteps began oppressing innocents who did nothing wrong. Everyone in AOT are victims, except for the first king fritz and Marleyan government.
@@LUUUUU8 the first king is the one who saved the world from eldian
And his will was there to make sure that future faunders don't use the power of the founder to cause more war
I don't blame him except for
"Let all die to redeem our self "
@@iska103 That's the first king KARL fritz. I'm referring to the original fritz that started the Eldian domination
Love these videos. Always adds context to these little powerful moments
Floch a straight menace he most definitely takes off his pants fully before using the urinal
What specific claim about a character lmao
Great breakdown. You're the best, keep up the great work.
Marco and Sasha's death was so painful
Thanks for all your videos, they help me a lot enjoying way more the show. Hope the personal reasons got sort out and can't wait to see how this alliance unfolds
I love how the video's title starts with 'Jean VS Reiner' when Reiner didn't even fight back lol
Thanks so much, I probably wouldn't understand half of the episodes without your videos. 👍
When the dead soldiers came around hange I thought she will also give some legendary speech
Hey bro. Great video as always! Just one comment, I don't know why, but your video's volume is always lower compared to other videos. Makes it a bit hard to listen to when not using headphones, and even still, it will be at a higher than usual volume level. Just a thought.
Let's be real Mikasa will beat Annie Even in her titan form 😂
Annie will kill her. In every fight they have been till now, Mikasa almost got killed by Annie in the forest and Levi had to save her dumbass. Annie kicked her ass so hard in their second fight that she got knocked out cold. Annie doesn't even take her seriously. Meanwhile that monster Eren was impaling himself through a sharp wooden pole just get up.
Annie might not have any experience for the past four years, but Mikasa has never taken down a titan shifter on her own. She's that overrated.
@@Hash_kw Agreed. Mikasa might be the most skillful soldier after Levi but there's still a huge power gap between her and Levi and Annie is a little bit better than Mikasa.
@@raysacnewton6698 That’s a s1 mikasa vs a s4 mikasa and she hasn’t even been in a situation where she’s fighting a shifter 1 on 1 so that is a useless fact.
I was waiting for your breakdown on Ep 24... Your breakdowns are the best for me! Love it so much... Learning so many details about my favourite anime
same
This episode was as close as we can get to closure. Reiner getting beaten up was satisfying and the fact that he digested the hate was enough for us to know.
I missed your videos!!! Missed a week and I was lost without you!!
One thing I don’t understand is how did Yelana know about Marco, if I’m not mistaken only Riner, knew about that, and Annie was in a crystal I don’t think even Zeke knew (I’m speaking from an anime only watcher) if there is a spoiler free explanation to this i’d like to know
Jean told her about Marco
@@semionjohnson1351 oh ok thanx
@@semionjohnson1351 but Jean didn’t know how he died. How did Yelena?
@@masxedsyfirspyrul9189 Jean had a pretty good idea that Annie was involved because Armin told him that Annie had Marco gear back in season 1 before they captured her.
@@masxedsyfirspyrul9189 considering that Armin ate Bertholdt it wouldn't surprise me that he inherited some of Bertholdt's memories including marco's death and not tell jean but to yelena instead
This video was EXTREMELY helpful. Many things about AOT miss me. Thanks for filling in the blanks!!
That really wasn’t a fight. That was Jean fucking destroying Reiner.
No matter how hard Reiner tries to die, he will survive harder
Man was hoping Jean would hit him so bad that he'll die but Gabi saved him. Poor dude just cannot seem to die 😂
Reiner woke up the next morning upset that still wasn't enough to kill him. (Possibly didn't know Gabi saved him.)😂😂😂
Reiner: "Why am I still alive. I just want my life over, is that too much to ask??"
@@metal_fusion Reiners blessing and curse. He gets plot armor but he’s the character that doesn’t want it
Thanks for taking time out to put this out for us.
i remember in the first season of episode 3, when Jean saw Mikasa for the first time, Jean fell in love with her and i guess he has the same feelings for her now
Welcome back G ! No worries on you missing last week!
I was hoping you would talk about when Annie ask Jean if he had forgiven her also "and me?" after he said he wouldn't forgive Reiner
That was a cliffhanger for me. Hope it gets addressed in next EP
I think it's just for a scene changing "joke" well pretty sure his forgiveness goes to all of them.
Maaan your videos help me EVERY week. Thanks for always comin thru for us 🙌
Mikasa would've just dismantled Annie being as experienced as she was at that point.
these breakdowns help me so much, thank you!
Ok can someone tell me how all the collosal titans are going to cross the ocean? Or will that be explained soon, because I haven't read the manga.
Titans don't drown :)
@@tidalwaffles oh shit that's crazy lol. Just imagining them walking across the ocean floor. Thanks :)
@@tylergwizdek4385 mild spoiler but they can actually swim
Just be hot and bring down the sea levels. 😆
They are less dense, may be they can partially float
Edit: I am also not sure if titans or at least pure titans really need to breathe to stay alive
Bro your breakdowns are So Beautiful!! Big up yourself Bro!!
Man, Reiner has been beaten by everyone of the series (not that he doesn't deserve it)
finally i've been waiting for you to post for like 12 days
Reiner says nothing :
Jean : 🌷
Reiner : I'm sorry
Jean : 🤛👊🤜
I understood the conversations they had in this episode but some stuff still wasn’t connecting with me so I’m really glad you explained this.
Ngl after seeing the ending to the series,
The Jean fantasy seems to have come true. Maybe it's actually a future memory
these episodes are so confusing. this really helps. tysm turtle!
@ everyone saying Annie was picking a fight: The point of that scene isn't to argue about Annie vs. Mikasa bruh. Everything Annie said was true and tbh Mikasa's infatuation with Eren is gonna be their downfall, so someone had to tell it to her straight up and Annie was the person to do so. She wasn't picking a fight, she was being cautious and realistic. And side note, when they fought before, Isayama revealed it was a tie. It was an equal fight even with Mikasa's Ackerman powers, so Annie would've definitely taken the W if Mikasa didn't have them lol
On 13:57 You accidentally repeat the same thing you said on part 13:49 of the video. Great recap. Just wanted to point that out hehe.
The lack of founding titan bothers me
Side note when the general macath (sorry if that not how you spell his name) points out how Marleyn's have been suffering for 2000 years, look at Gabi's and Riener's face. To them they know that most people on the island didn't even know about the 2000 years of rule.
What happened to 24
I understand what happened in episode but I love the seeing your video s man
Apparently something personal came up for them :(
@@cirea3932 sorry I I commented too early
My mistake
Bro I legit look forward to your breakdown 😌🙏🏽
It feels wrong to watch this w/o an ep 24 breakdown
Marco's death is a major plot point. It was also the moment Annie understood she couldn't kill her friends. From that day on, she spares their lives. Even Eren's. She's basically just trying to scape
What scares me the most is that there’re only 3 episodes left to wrap up the 12 final chapters. They’re going to kill this show by rushing the ending. We’d better get an hour long series finale or something 🧐
this season is ending on chapter 130
@@yoshi6584 so there will be more after this season finishes? Like a small movie or somethin?
@@yoshi6584 but it says it’s the final season? Or maybe part 3?
Where did it say that it will only have three episodes left?
@@Skitz0frenix I looked it up near the start of the part 2 original airing and it stated that it will consist of 12 episodes, 9 down so far.
Welcome back. You give the best AOT breakdowns. Hope you're OK
Did Levi forget about how his entire squad was wiped out by Annie? Has Hange forgotten what Annie and Reiner have done to the survey corps and the civilians of the Island?? No idea how they can be so eager to team up with their enemies
the way I understand it they need help bad and when hange found them in the woods the pieces just kind of went together
lmao thats the point yelena was trying to make, but revenge just produce more hurt, and that is how all this mess roll into the end of the world. And to save the world, they must stop the cycle.
@@logansmith9196 Hange already stitched and bandaged Levi beforehand. She then approached Magath and Pieck and deliberately asked to stop the rumbling with them. So not really
@@hugosiu656 yeah and Yelana was spitting facts. You could say Marley was trying to “save the world and end the cycle of hate” by wiping out all the eldians. Also like Jean mentioned, the world will hate eldia even more if they manage to stop the rumbling.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. It doesn't have to be any more complicated than that
u explained everything so well i'm learning things i didn't even realize when i was watching lmaoo
Reiner just catching hands all the time😂
Did miss your breakdown last week..
Glad you're back.. 🙂
I like how annie pulled out her ring acting like armin can’t just blow her up if he needs to
For people reading this It was a joke lmfao
Dude, he would kill everything around him. The main theme of the episode is that violence is not the answer.
Armin would blow up all of them with her dumbass 😂
If he did he’ll blow everybody else away that’s around him that’s more like a last resort thing for him
dope vid man, love watching!
