Attack on Titan 3x18 Reaction
Added 2021-09-21 20:22:34 +0000 UTC
couple of things.. 1st pour one out for erwin for going out as a hero and for our best boy bernard, this was a cruel death.. 2nd we now live in a world where we know about the marleys and eldrians (not even sure if that's how it's spelled or called but i can't google it cause i don't want to accidently spoil myself) we were SO close, we said that our guys behind walls could be the only people to be titans but as always so close and yet so far, we have 2 episodes of this season remaining and i am at a loss for words... here's another thumbnail where im bawling, enjoy
What Erwin's plans usually end up in huge loss of lives and fails like trying to capture the Female titan in the forest, trying to kill the beast titan. While Armin's plans always end up in success with few casualties.

Eren admitting he has nothing but hate left, begging for armins life because there is still some innocence in him, that whole bit is rough

Ah, the "crying children" thing I was assuming was from the dub bc it's very un-Levi like (even though the author did have Levi say stuff like "weak people are pathetic, they die so easily" which he regretted and thought it was out of character for Levi)

Yes I alternate between sub and dub depending on the mood.
Both are equally great for me

A lot of the more intense animation stuff was also done beforehand. The Levi vs Beast Titan sequence was completed while they were working on part 1 for example

tom, I mean no disrespect - but man, it seems you can't stop yourself from posting soft spoilers in the comments. Obviously you haven't hard spoiled anything but it seems like every other comment of yours is creating expectations of some sorts or making corrections that almost no one that watched the episode only one time, as they do, managed to get right.

To me as a german guy, developing theories was kind of a different deal i guess. When i was watching this with friends of mine, we all thought something was seriously wrong already in mid season 1. The mysterious setting + German names (which are unusual in Anime) led us pretty early to a possible Nazi kinda thing background. Any germans here who can relate?
Franz
2021-09-22 19:40:00 +0000 UTC
on top of that, the OST when reiner reveals his identity (it's called "you see big girl" i think) in S2E6 has actually german lyrics. But it's not pronounced good enough to hear it as a german.
Franz
2021-09-22 19:31:44 +0000 UTC
This is irrelevant but did you watch the dub?
tom
2021-09-22 16:44:52 +0000 UTC
First, Levi has to tell Erwin "Give up on your dreams and charge to your death. Lead these crying children straight to hell "
Then when he has the chance to save Erwin, he again has to let him die.
Cut him some slack Isayama. What the hell is your problem with this guy ??

R.I.P Erwin. One of the greatest written commander of all time. An era where death can be so random , you chose your death. A death full of valor, courage and self-lessness. Your choice led us to victory. Humanity survived because you chose to let yourself and your comrades be crushed by boulders. You risked your legacy everyday in the survey corps by making the hard decisions, the type of decisions that got your friends and your soldiers killed but humanity survived because of that. In this process, you lost precious friends, your love and ultimately your life.
You once stood on a mountain of corpses and now humanity stands on your shoulders alone.
Commander, One last Time,

16 is possible, you are underestimating the content. People also thought that P1 would end on 119 or 122 because of this. If they take their time, 16 episodes are quite realistic.

Yeah I am also leaning more towards the 12 side rather than 16. I just hope they don’t rush the last chapters.
MGU
2021-09-22 13:48:43 +0000 UTC
Nope. Again, 16 episodes is too much. Part 1 covered 26 chapters and it was more dialogue heavy compared to what part 2 will cover (23 chapters). Realistically, part 2 will definitely not have the same number of episodes as part 1. 12-14 episodes sounds more reasonable. 16 is way too much.

Can't wait for them to get to season 4
AJ
2021-09-22 13:42:28 +0000 UTC
Yeah but Mappa is a much bigger studio, Studio Wit is tiny. Also I believe Mappa had 8-10 months compared to Wit's 6. months But S3P2 is less jarring because they have the same character designs and staff. I'm just saying it's more complicated and I don't like how the narrative is essentially "S4 is the one where it all changes" when such a demanding anime as Shingeki has always been under stress and had production issues since S1
tom
2021-09-22 12:26:27 +0000 UTC
Yeah it will be 12-16 unless something goes seriously wrong (Or it might be more than 16 if they do an original ending).
tom
2021-09-22 12:21:06 +0000 UTC
Yeah that's why the Japanese voice actors say it weirdly lol
Also it's not just his name, most of the names are German (Except for Mikasa, obviously).
All the OPs are in German too, or at least a mix of Japanese and German (Except for S3 Part 1 which is mostly English).
tom
2021-09-22 12:18:42 +0000 UTC
It's funny that the anime added the cut of him in the classroom to make it more clear why Erwin raised his hands and some people still miss it
tom
2021-09-22 12:15:33 +0000 UTC
People say that but with how S4 was handled a little rushed idk if this prologue meme is as true as it used to be lol
tom
2021-09-22 12:10:43 +0000 UTC
Yeah but season 3 part 2 had only 10 episodes, while season 4 part 1 has 16 episodes and was done by a new studio with a completely new production team plus covid restrictions. Season 4 was definitely the most rushed out of all seasons given the amount of source material mappa had to animate compared to the time they had.
Deante
2021-09-22 11:55:24 +0000 UTC
Armin was a good, solid choice, while picking Erwin would be a giant gamble (ofc from Levi perspective, not Floch or other common soldier). Erwin spent last 30 years of his life with one goal in mind, he literally said that many times he thought that death would be so much easier etc. I doubt he would manage to find another such strong goal to keep being a devil, and being a devil made him such a good leader and commander. So ye, from Levi perspective (therefore from a veteran perspective, who knew Erwin more than anyone else, and knew Armin better than most people) Armin was more logical choice. From Floch and other military guys perspective, Erwin was much more logical choice. Ofc Levi perspective is much more valid in this situation, so Armin was overall more logical choice.

You can literally find fault in every animes animation but some people in the AoT fandom go too far with their death threats and pass all the hate as ''criticism.''
wade
2021-09-22 10:10:43 +0000 UTC
The animation has always had issues, schedule-wise. S1 looked horrible week-to-week and they had to fix it later, S2 was a bit better, but Season 3 Part 2 was made in *six months*. So it was just as rushed as S4 tbh.
As for S4B, it should be around 12-16 episodes.

Not even after S4 Pt 1. It has shots from Part 2 in it because that trailer was made by a completely different team. They just put a bunch of shots from the manga in there to build hype. It's not a good trailer at all, please don't watch it. You don't need to
tom
2021-09-22 09:24:15 +0000 UTC
the trailer is 100% spoilers, they could watch it after they are caught up with s4 pt1 to get hyped for pt2.
wade
2021-09-22 08:29:43 +0000 UTC
Part 2 isn’t all action actually, the action will be at the start and again from the middle to the end. There are still a lot of material to get through which cannot be skipped. 16 episodes I can see at the least

That’s a lazy excuse Sam, the truth is as we see in the finale the decision to save armin is idiotic in the extreme. It doesn’t matter that he has dreams he wants to fulfill, everyone has dreams but being logical the only correct choice was Erwin who could lead the scouts into the future. Just because he didn’t know what he wanted after the basement doesn’t lower his overall value to humanity on paradis island. Imagine if this was a real life choice you had to make, would you choose the 15 year old or the experienced commander?
Sean Carroll (AOT is better than GOT)
2021-09-22 07:22:13 +0000 UTC
I disagree, part 1 had 26 chapters and 16 episodes. Considering how insane the events are in part 2 I am guessing that it will be at least 15 episodes but I wouldn’t be surprised if it went 16 or 17 episodes. Everything in part 2 is incredibly important whereas part 1 could afford to skip a few small things
Sean Carroll
2021-09-22 07:17:30 +0000 UTC
Considering no human can live that long I’m going to guess that you probably haven’t waited that long for this reaction. Couple that with the fact that season 3 part 2 aired in 2019 therefore the episode has only been out for 2 years. Also consider that they started watching attack on titan this year therefore at the very most you have only had to wait between 6-9 months for this reaction #debunked

I really love the drawing of Mappa tbh. Wit's design and drawing are more colorful and vigorous while Mappa's are more gentle, sorrowful. People are just way too salty to say the animation of season 4 is really bad and they even threaten the studio. By the way, the use of CGI on Titan is understandable and it's not even that worse like many people complain about due to their time restraint.
Dung Nguyen
2021-09-22 04:45:40 +0000 UTC
16 episodes is way too much. Final season part 2 is covering less chapters and they are more action-heavy compared to part 1. So, there’s no way part 1 and 2 will have the same number of episodes.
Zekrom XI
2021-09-22 04:43:56 +0000 UTC

MGU

Season 4 part 2 should have about 12-14 episodes. So, 28-30 episodes all together.
Once you guys finish season 3, maybe consider watching the season 4 trailer. It’s lit!

A parallel that kills me is the way Levi was kneeling before Erwin in their first and last moments together: when they first met in No Regrets and in their final conversation. And the difference in their relationship between those two moments :(

Milena and Lola, you both have been extremely smart putting things together so far only a couple of other reactors pieced together in the puzzle, in fact it was scary how psychic it seemed, you both are now the top Attack on Titan detectives.
If you had seen that opening, you would have figured out that Erwin was the one to die, as he is seen fading back with the other fallen soldiers. Besides the other obvious things, you would have pieced together more.
If you had stopped that opening at the wrong moment, you would have seen the image of a charred, crispy Armin....

Bertold's death is a good litmus test for people who actually understand the show. People who cheer his death clearly aren't absorbing any of the shows themes or subtext. Its kinda annoying when people react to a show that's literally about perspective and somehow miss trying to understand the perspectives of very well written antagonist characters whose viewpoints we get to see in detail. Im glad the girls found his death sad, though i think we've seen how well they understand the show so I knew they would

I think Armin could eventually become just as skilled if not better than Erwin but that's not something they should gamble on in the slightest.
Rick Turpentine
2021-09-22 01:54:59 +0000 UTC
Exactly, and it wasn't just the sea either. Levi was there listening the night that Armin was talking about seeing the entire world and it's mysteries. Levi knew that Armins eyes were set far far beyond the horizon, even past the sea. In fact it was Armin who had the biggest dream out of anyone. And considering that Erwin himself called Armin "one of humanities greatest weapons" the choice was simple really.

Since it wasn't explained well in the anime, let me try to do it. Erwin didn't shove the injection intentionally away, he RAISED his hand UNCONSCIOUSLY because of his strong desires to find out the answers to his question, on the verge of death. In the manga, it was portrayed as Levi chose Armin because he still has that drive to keep on going; to keep pursuing freedom. The moment Erwin unconsciously raised his hand when Levi was about to inject him and uttered what he asked to his teacher, which was his father, that was when Levi made a decision. In Erwin's case, Levi thought that maybe if Erwin finally got his answer to his literal lifelong dream he had with his father when he questioned him "Are there really no more humanity outside the walls?" when he was still studying, would he still have that "drive" to keep him going and fight for humanity? Or would he just lose interest because he got what he wanted? Now Levi knew Erwin was kinda selfish with a heart, so he thought that Erwin would no longer be as enthusiastic and motivated to keep on going if he got his answers, on Eren's basement. Levi remembered Kenny's last words right then and there the moment he realised all of this, which was "Everyone had to be drunk on something to keep on going". So if Erwin sobered up and lost his drunken self, he'd be unmotivated to fight some more. Wherein Armin's case, as I've said, he has dreams. He's still drunk on the thoughts of being totally free. Hope I explained it well.

One thing about erwin is the thing that drove him was proving his dad right, after the basement he might’ve lost that motivation to lead the scouts so well, levi thought about this with that flashback to kenny saying “everyone was a slave to something”. who knows he might’ve even offered eren to eat him because he was satisfied with life after he saw the basement had he been chosen
Sam
2021-09-22 00:21:40 +0000 UTC
nah logically you could assume erwin might lose motivation after seeing the basement, cos that was the sole thing driving him, thats why that “everyone was a slave to something” flashback appeared

2021-09-21 23:53:05 +0000 UTC
I think the flashbacks are more to show that Levi is considering what’s different about Armin and Erwin—namely that Armin has a goal and a HOPE for what’s beyond this current step, whereas Erwin actually doesn’t (and says so.) Just goes to show how unselfish Levi is that he is truly considering all angles, wondering whether Armin would be the strategically better person to save despite his own personal relationship with Erwin. Ofc in the end he concludes that Erwin is the better choice, bc he was going to save him up until he flings his arm up, but I think it’s a testament to Levi that he was truly considering both

ODIS
2021-09-21 23:01:06 +0000 UTC
Some of my own opinions to some your comments:
1. For me the reason to not watch this intro is because it shows a lot of what actually happens in the episodes. You can see the Colossal Titan throwing houses, the boulders and the scouts, etc. It doesn’t show what happens at the end with all of those, but the impact is greatly lost. And that only in a superficial look, if you look closely there are a lot of “clues” that can ruin pieces of the main plot.
2. Regarding animation in season 4 there was a change in the studio. If the animation is worse or better will be up to you. A lot of people just hated the new design/drawing/animation and others really liked it. Personally I mostly liked it; I’d have preferred to continue the animation of season 3, but... oh well, wasn’t possible.
3. I remember that Lola said in one episode that she would watch the whole show from the beginning but didn’t know if that was cheating. In my opinion it is not. This show is meant to be rewatched. There are a LOT of things you could have missed and a LOT of things you can only appreciate once you know more of the story and its context. After finishing S3 and before S4 is a very good moment to do so IMO. I’m not trying to say that “it has to be” that way or anything like that, just a humble opinion. I super understand if you cannot wait and jump directly to S4; you can always rewatch it later.
I would like to suggest however that you make sure to catch everything from episodes 20 and 21. You may want to rewatch at least those and then Ymir’s episode (2x10).

What pissed me off is that they showed the things that Armin did that help them understand the titans and survive neglecting to show all the things Erwin did that help humanity like Armin acts were more significant to sway the audience. People really think that was the reason for levi decision and try to justify that.

I think you're underselling Armin a little to say he doesn't hold a candle to Erwin in terms of value to the cause, but I can't dispute that Erwin was clearly still the smarter choice.

Yep. There is, however, a "metaphorical rejection" in his action (that is my vision at least). I don't know if Levi "felt" something like that, even though for his face I think he noticed that Erwin was just "dreaming". In any case I think if I had been there in Levi's position I would have still interpreted that as a "signal" of some sort.

Yes most likely and Floch definitely has a right to voice his opinions he literally survived a charge straight into what was supposed to be death for every single one of them. He has more than earned the right to make himself and his opinion heard. And his opinion is what most outside our main protagonists actually share Floch’s thoughts because he is thinking from a completely different perspective a perspective that anyone who recently joined the scouts would share. Since it’s a logical viewpoint he has because everyone doesn’t know about the 104th cadets which we have followed the entire show and would then see Levi’s decision as the most emotional and stupid decision the scouts ever made.

Levi didn’t choose to give it to Armin he chose to let Erwin finally rest. It may be the same outcome but Levi did not choose to personally save Armin it only led to that because he thought letting Erwin rest was the right call.

I think there truly was not a right choice, both Erwin and Armin bring their own unique set of skills to the table and like Levi always does, he makes the choice he least regrets and that was letting Erwin free from this hell.

Armin is smart but so is Erwin but the biggest thing which makes Erwin the more logical choice is his leadership skills which Armin doesn’t have and can never get Erwins skills with leadership and Erwin also had a lot of experience compared to Armin who has no experience as a leader except for a few times with the people he trained with.

First of all, I have to say that I really like Armin. I have a lot of sympathy for him, even in those moments when he freezes or thinks he is just a burden. Those moments add a lot to the character IMO. However, when I first watched this episode, I really thought Erwin was the better choice. I always thought that Armin had a lot of potential and could accomplish many great things, but in that world, a cruel world, Erwin could accomplish more. As demonstrated, Armin does not hesitate to sacrifice his life, but maybe there are moments when it is necessary to sacrifice more than that.
Of course I was very conflicted, in both cases there is a big loss. And I think I understand the reasons for Levi not to inject Erwin. I also think that Erwin deserves to rest, especially after he embraced his destiny and was ready to die.
Now I’ve seen this episode a lot of times and everytime I think I understand more the why in Levi’s decision, but I still would have chosen Erwin if I keep in mind that the goal is “save humanity”. I hope the series proves me wrong. I have seen S4 p1 but I won’t discuss anything from that yet. I haven’t read the manga either (I will at some point in the future, I hope).
I don’t know if I am in the minority here with this opinion. I would like to know if someone else shares this. Again, I must stress that I like Armin and I can see all the good qualities he has. If Erwin had been chosen I would still lament the loss of Armin, either as a character as an element for “humanity”.

He just survived a suicide charge that took out everyone he knew, poor dude must be feeling extreme survivors guilt and PTSD.
john ross
2021-09-21 21:57:50 +0000 UTC
Yeah, this tenfold. Some people even argue Armin was the more "logical choice", which is nonsense. In a war time no sane person would trade a renown, battlehardened commander for a "promising young prosepct". Armin is exceptional and really smart, but he doesn't hold a candle to Erwin,who is the catalyst of humanity's counterattack against titans.

When Lola started tearing up at Ymir’s letter, I wanted to pat her head cuz her expression was so sad. Seeing both of you cry so hard like that was also pretty heartbreaking. And wow theorizing for 3 seasons and now it’s boldly revealed, I wonder how u feel about the newfound setting.
Ceige
2021-09-21 21:54:20 +0000 UTC
I think you misunderstood; Levi didn't save Armin because he would have provided a better future for them he let Erwin go because he was the only man who dared to think if humans lived outside the walls and had the desire and conviction to find out and those who followed his path dying on that quest with him. before his desire to find out the truth was stronger than his soldiers and friends being killed in that journey. but it got to the point where his desire to find out the truth became giving meaning to his soldiers lives by finding out the truth. it became too much that only Levi understood. which is why Levi let him go. his desire to find out the truth for everyone sake living and those who have passed became a burden to him

You guys talked about the episode count for season 4 part 2 and I am going to bet that it will be 12 episodes. The show still has to adapt about 23 chapters of the manga to get to the ending. So we still have a lot of content left!
Luka

Right! I’ve seen so many reactors be happy about it and it ruins the whole reaction for me. It’s such a tragic death.
Harfie
2021-09-21 21:19:23 +0000 UTC
A ton of reactors I’ve watched don’t even blink or anything they just said fuck him basically and are happy and a lot of reactors are like that they can’t sympathize with the other side luckily Lola and Milena can.
I honestly get annoyed when people show happiness when Bertholdt dies it gets my blood boiling because people are so damn blind and judge people in a way that is black and white and literally show no understanding from for example Bertholdt’s point of view and all we have experienced with him will now come to an end and people are happy about it. Sry about the rant

If you re-watch the scene with Levi as he's about to inject Erwin, Erwin is having a flashback to his childhood as a student in his father's class. He raises his hand to ask his father a question about people outside the walls, and that hand motion slaps Levi's hand. I don't know if he was even aware that Levi was next to him. He was in his memory.

The red headed Guy is Floch and while you may dislike him which many do a lot of what he’s saying is things that are realistic and true is the ironic part so maybe try to understand him even if you don’t like him.
He’s thinking from a perspective that anyone who had not followed our main characters for 3 seasons would think like him if they hadn’t.

At the time you don't how much I disagreed with that decision to save Armin, I had to watch it a second time to understand why levi did what he did.

Erwin didn't reject the vial, he was daydreaming about his goal.
2021-09-21 21:01:30 +0000 UTC
A minor connection from episode 20, the most recent episode you two watched:
Eren woke up in the cell from his memory, crying:
"I feel like I just woke up from a long dream".
Mikasa asked:
"Why are you crying, Eren?"
Episode 1, right after the intro:
Weird flashforwards, birds fly away from a tree. Eren woke up, crying:
"I feel like I just woke up from a long dream."
Mikasa asked:
"Why are you crying, Eren?"

It wasn't the four leg titan who gave the titans orders to attack Levi last episode. It was the beast titan (in human form). You were mistaken.

Pour one out for Moblit too… he was able to save Hange one last time before dying. These few episodes have had nothing but valiant sacrifices. Heroic Scouts doing what needs to be done. Fuck it, pour one out for them all, they deserve it

Can't wait to see this reaction... anyways I just wanted to recommend you to listen to the OST you hear on the last scene of the last episode of this season. It's called T-KT and it's just perfect for attack on titan, I feel like it brings back all the emotions felt with this tragic but beautiful story

You've gotta feel for Levi here. This boy lost EVERYBODY. His mom, Kenny, Petra, his squad, his childhood friends, and now Erwin. Everything in his life has been one string of tragedy after the other. Him and Hange are the only veterans left.
And now once he got the opportunity for the first time to save a friend, he STILL puts his wishes second and decides to take one for the team.
Even though it was his choice, and no one was stopping him from reviving Erwin at the end, he did it regardless.
He did it because he cared for Erwin more than the others to put him away from his pain and suffering. He did it because he cares for Armin's life and knew what him being gone would've meant for the morale of our kids.
Much of the time it's him who's making the hardest choices and bearing the most responsibility. I can't imagine how much the deaths of those soldiers are weighing on him, knowing they all died so he could kill Beast Titan and still failed to when he promised he would.
