Attack on Titan 4x05 Reaction

"i dont think i can make [video cuts] a sentence" lol this statement checks out

Joshua Miller

It's not Karma. I think you misinterpreted the whole scene. Eren said to him: I am exactly like you, meaning that he accepts what Reiner did because he felt he needed to do it, that he had to do it. Eren is the same, he is here because he feels that he has to (Plus that Tybur just said: Because I was born into this world AND was about to declare war, which is exactly how Eren feels. He wants to be in control of his life, he wants freedom, not to live his life like a caddle. So why not respond back instead of just chilling on the beach side of Paradis Island waiting for an army to come and nuke you out, no thank you. This is not about revenge, otherwise we would probably see more emotions and a lot more aggressiveness in Erens body language. He just said : Reiner I do get you, you thought you were saving the world. Which is exactly what I'm doing right now. There is no good and evil in this universe of AOT. Go re watch the scene with Grisha on the wall while Sergeant Gross (The one responsible for his sisters death) broke the fourth wall saying to us audience that we all enjoy some pain (especially if you believe you are the good one and the bad one needs to suffer). And the next episode you hear Kruger (the owl) says to Grisha: ""The only truth in this world is that there is no truth. Anyone can become a god or a devil. All it takes is for people to believe it." So TDLR probably is that Eren keeps moving forward, until his enemies are destroyed. Doesn't have to Karma or being emotional about it, just straight facts that he got to hit or get hit.

Cation

Watching this one episode per week when it was airing was so brutal

Joshua Miller

2:27 Lola's American "Mean Girls" accent is spot on and much appreciated.

Drowned

Yeah I get that, but I don’t sympathise at all. Regardless as to why he did what he did, the damage was still done. Which is why I love the idea of Eren just doing the same thing back. It’s karma.

Fabian Glynan

Milena's face when she realised what kind of weapon Eren and people from the island have...

Bogdan Turda

I wonder if theyre thinking about AoT while on their break

Sebastian

What episode? Lola is so good at predicting things its insane. Even the most minor things

Sebastian

Dude got ratioed in a Patreon comment section💀

Sebastian

This week is gonna be crazy, I've been waiting for these reactions ever since I started watching them 🥰

Rich

The war begins. And yes, the rumbling is real. If the rumbling is unleashed everyone on Earth will die that is certain. There is literally nothing you can do. It's the end of all life on Earth.

WeatherReport

Well said Pierre.

Melkor

I think there’s several aspects you’re not taking into consideration. First of all Reiner and the others warriors were like 11 or something when they were send to break the wall. All of them were teached since practically their birth that eldians on paradise were devils and responsible for their current situation and how they were treated on the continent. In addition to that there was the familial situation of Reiner with his mother that was hoping to live with his father, pushing Reiner to become a warrior in the hope of becoming a « functional » family. I’m not saying that Reiner’s actions are excusable or « not a big deal » at all, just that judging a 11 year old kid and holding him completely responsible for actions he was basically forced to take considering his life circumstances is bit inappropriate don’t you think ? Furthermore even if Reiner accepted to go back to Marley after marcel was eaten, it would’ve changed nothing, Marley would’ve just give the armored to another warrior candidate and resumed the operation. Reiner is not some kind of perfect character that always makes the morally good choices but neither is Eren. Both of them did horrible things, « forced » by their respectives lives circumstances but kept pushing forward, thus the whole « we are the same » speech by eren in the episode. (Sorry that was a bit long lol but it’s complicated to explain such a complex situation in few words lol)

Pkiu

Not too sure why everyone felt so sorry for Reiner, He marked himself as the bad guy once he broke the wall in the first season. Sure you could say he was brainwashed into doing it, but he still did it. Any action Erin took in retaliation is pretty much justified giving the fact none of it would have happened if Reiner just backed his bags and went home when the mission went south.

Fabian Glynan

Season 4 really is the best

AJ

All the episodes so far have been very good, both visually and in terms of content. The next two episodes were the most criticized in terms of animation. I think it's better to compare the animation between the studios at the end of the season. Personally, I'm saddened by the Beast Titan, the Attack Titan, and the action with the 3D maneuver gear. In season 2 and 3, the Beast Titan was the Titan with the best animation. I still get goosebumps when he bends down in 2x01. And the incredible 3D maneuver gear action, where you felt pressed into the seat and thought to yourself "damn, that looks great", unfortunately was not so in Season 4. Especially with the action I hope in Season 4 Part 2 for an improvement. In the trailer you could already see that Mappa wants to continue using the same 3D models for the Titans.

Robert H.

Not only was this episode one of the top of the series, both of your reactions were probably the best of all the episodes so far. I am just glad Lola was taken aback by the reference to Eren's motto of being born in this world. I don't think any single other reactor had a reaction to that or what it meant. That indeed Eren is the same as Reiner and all the rest in Marley. And that Eren is not nihilistic, he will do what it takes to survive. But then when Willy declares war, Eren's surprised look turns to a self affirmation as he closes his eyes, and then a half smile. I am glad this also your favorite season for both. I understand that people like the second half of the third season the best. But these past five episodes have as much meat to savor as the past three seasons, and all of that feels like a prologue or a prequel. This is where the story feels like it's gonna pay off.

David Caine

They would probably do it by themselves so they can enjoy it better, but I would love a recap of every season and what they thought about rewatching all of them

Sebastian

Delete this or edit the last part, please

Camelot B

Same. I would add they are the greatest Avatar reactors also.

Camelot B

poor guy.

john ross

Who noticed that person in the audience getting his head smashed by a huge rock at 21:38?

Mohammed Al Jamal

yea, the build up with the drums are great but then it falls kinda flat for me. A mix of the two in some way would work well too

Christian Medeiros

I love Samuel Kim, the original is amazing it does feel as if something is slightly lacking once the transformation hits but it still works very well. This version with Samuel's cover is actually really great too, I'm not sure if its better but it does give the scene the extra "oomph" I craved.

Chris Gutierrez

Did you watch the video? The song playing wasn't even used till S4.

Chris Gutierrez

the song in the video is a cover of a S4 song, did you even read or watch what I put?

Christian Medeiros

The original is 100 times better.

K Vonnegut

yes pleaseeee

Joaquin garcia

that can change a human being.

john ross

i miss Bernard

Joaquin garcia

Curious what everyone here thinks about the OST they used for the buildup/transformation at the end. I used to think it was good bc it felt sad that Eren was attacking people that had no involvement in war but also that the moment felt empty from the music. Also, the only thing people could mention as a replacement was YOUSEEBIGGIRL which is really a conflicting and unnecessary song for the tone the scene has. This Samuel Kim cover of an official track I think fits amazing here since it still feels somber but has an epicness to it that makes the scene so much more impactful imo. <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DcPk3xB1VsE" width="560"></iframe> ... be careful about spoilers in recommended and comments.

Christian Medeiros

This episode is a perfect highlight of the nothingness in Eren’s eyes that reflects his broken state in the finale of Season 3. I think it’s so tragic that the excitable and passionate Eren has been broken to the point he is. I think that nothing but his sense of duty to provide freedom to those in the walls is driving him forward.

Goob

Yes please, a reaction to a second rewatch

Ben Morales

This is the true progression of the story... cliffhangers. First you hate them then you need them xD

Zer0 P0int

Id argue its N1 actually. How come its no in the top 3? Which ones are better for you? Just curious.

Rinne

episode so good now adays some may forget to like the video till later -_-

amir.cricket

I think they're already back because they filmed 5 episodes in one sitting so they can still upload while not here

Kim555

Please delete your comment they haven’t seen past this episode you donkey.

Melkor

When are these girls coming back?

ItsƤαye

this season is gonna hit u like a mf-ing truck and part 2 will hit you like a plane. i love you both, make sure to take breaks lol. also love how this is the first time u get to hear s4 eren speak for a long time, his convo with eren rlly shows how tired he is and how he's matured but there are just things he has to do and he's accepted that.

Gigi

I would 100000000% recommend watching the entire series over again before the 2nd part of the season starts.. id even watch another reaction to it just to see how mind blown you'll be at AAALLLLLLL the little things you've definitely missed lol .. even in the intros ect.. I've re-watched it 6 times myself haha. Isayama is a F**king Genius!!!!!

Sammy_Salssssss

Fr, not easy to find

Victor

8:46 min Annie's father mentions that BERNARD's father (Hoover) passed away in bed :(

Anthony Gonzales

I'm not sure who is enjoying themselves more. You two on vacation or me enjoying this reaction. It's close.

Emori

Are you ready to put AOT in your “love of your life” tier?

Yuhboyq

I definitely recommend the next 3 to be watched together as well

Richard

Lol you know one reason for why eren might seem dead or empty inside this season, is also probably b/c he went through first hand racism and holocaust through his dad’s memories and the ones before that, i can only imagine what that would do to a person

C Cuenca

This was one of AOT's most cleverly crafted episodes. They drew that string of tension more and more and more taut, that the build up when it snapped as pure magic.

Patrick Wotton

Rick Turpentine

I don't think I can make a sentence is a sentence.

Jojo

Did you guys forget that Falco and Colt are brothers? You kind of seemed to be talking as though you didn't know who Colt (already mentioned as the Beast successor) was.

Maia Brodsky

great episode but not top 3. Still this show broke Eren he went from a boy seeking vengeance against monsters, to a man willing to kill every human for his goals. I love it.

joshua

ooh yeah i remember that, it was literally a few days after the us capitol was stormed so everyone was already really freaked out Before it started trending

Hannah N

Fun fact: after this episode aired, "declaration of war" trended on twitter and needless to say, a lot of people that don't watch AoT were confused LOL

ML9

Well, here we go, let the real game begin.

David Caine

Bernard was also feeling very guilty about it all, reminding himself of that story and thinking about that man. That is why Bernard used most of that same story as a cover story for themselves way back in season 1.

David Caine

Honestly, yeah I think they would ally with Marley. Pretty sure they had leaders/ambassadors there too, and Willy has connections to almost everyone. They may be bitter about it, but they've been cowed now, they're back in the fold. Due to obligations to follow Marley, alliances with the Tyburs and the general fear of conquering Eldians coming for them (Eren), I'm pretty sure in that moment the world agreed to attack.

Ryan Peters

Oh man oh man 😂

Akagami No Shanks

The words in the opening “You are the enemy now” do hit differently right? The stunned silence is correct. This was the chapter in the manga that catapulted Eren into being one of the greatest characters I have come across in fiction. The revenge seeking Eren is gone, and we have a more frightening version at hand. It’s funny cause the fans used to find Eren annoying because of how loud and obnoxious he could come across (even though I fully empathised with his anger given his trauma). I always said even back then that I dont want Eren being a calm collected version because that version is much more dangerous. And this isnt a sudden turn even. Season after season we saw Eren’s voice grow lower, as he learned more and more. This was always the character growth intended. His gradual descent and well here we are. The writer is now challenging us to more discomfort as the whole concept of good guys vs bad guys has been demolished. The fact that this show begins as borderline shounen bait is the perfect setup for this.

Quo

none of your points are valid so not sure what this weird comment is for. It does sound a bit like a woman I guess?

Rinne

Hahaha I love how STUNNED you both were when the episode ended. XD

Yic17

(Reiner handing knife to Eren during their cadet training) “Here Eren, you play the bad guy now.”

killezio3 killezio3

yea, Connie grew 3 feet in 4 years.... and sounds like a woman...and has hair. sure. its Connie.

DRnotz

its nice when they arent shouting over the show trying to predict every 5 seconds what will happen.

DRnotz

Interesting thing about the colossals in the walls: There is a story about a miner in the mid-episode card from season 1 episode 25. He tried to dig a tunnel under the wall to get outside. But he hit a hard floor of rock. Basically the wall titans are dug down into the earth by about 10 metres. That's why Bertholdt could peek over the wall.

Slaizio

One of the best episodes of the entire show? Oh okay , oh okay 😏😏

Peter Ortiz

"Merely a fluke" means, it was supposed to happen, but somehow has not. Willy's basically saying, the world should have already been destroyed by the rumbling, but by some odd stroke of chance, it has not.

EspiOwnage

Love how you guys are happy, sad, shocked, traumatized and in denial when that last scene happened. I mean Eren is not wrong, he came for the same reasons Reiner did, even if he sounded chill or relaxed, he stayed true to his word lol. This is specifically what that commander gross meant when speaking to Grisha at the wall, that people actually want to see cruelty and that can be applied when we see the "bad guys" get hurt or killed. And in this perspective, after watching Reiner and the crew, you get a sense of remorse. Because now they feel like the good guys. This is where the best part of AoT begins, hard to root for anyone anymore.

Cation

Only Marley was gonna declare war on Paradis. The other world leaders were there to watch a festival, unbeknownst to the fact that Willy was about to do what he did. Marley declared first but Eren made the whole world his enemy by killing other countries ambassadors, and leaders. Why would the Mid-East ever ally with Marley fresh out of their own war just a week ago?

I would like to state here that no matter how bad you think of Eren, but remember every other country already united for the war against Paradis and Eren, Someone at some point might always want to attack. Only way to live happily after is to eradicate a vast majority of everyone and then remaining people of all countries just sign agreement to live together.

PKS

Nice parallel there..That man lost his 3 kids. Reiner lost his 3 comrades. They both blamed themselves and the weight of that guilt (among other things for reiner) drove them both to want to end their lives. Eren is the person in the best position to judge reiner.. and he judges him not as guilty or innocent but as an equal.

B Flynn

"this is in top 3 episodes of the show" i agree

Joaquin garcia

Totally agree!!! 6, 7 and 8 should be watched together so they can later read the comments freely.

Mohammed Al Jamal

Oh yeah yeah I know that, but I still think that there is a difference between "declaring war" than react to it and do something because of that declaration. When i first saw this episode i found out super important, now that i finished the manga, well it's another story.

Mati D.

I love that Lola does the Eren crazy laugh cry

B Flynn

aahh I love Lola noticing the "because I was born into this world moment" The words that Eren's mom said who imo changed Eren's vision about himself. He always felt weak, useless and not special. His titan powers were always a terrible burden to him and he says to himself that so many people had died because his fault, because he being weak, he being not special

ajoenpolvo

Honestly, the level of compassion and empathy you two have greatly restores my faith in humanity. Thank you for that.

Cody Fro

I love the absolute speechlessness

Marco Cunha

I LOVE you guys because you noticed on first watch the subtle moments that put this episode into the hallmark of greatest AoT episodes. The way Eren reacted only to Willy's words because it stirred something into his now dead inside state, the way Eren said he vaguely remembers that he promised to kill the warriors and even told Reiner to forget about it etc. It's not like other reactors don't notice them but you guys emphasised these moments and literally said what I thought while first watching this it. This episode put AoT from good to great for me because that's how you do dialogue, that how you do nuance.

bondbond53

Reiner didn’t want forgiveness, he wanted to be judged, as the man who hunged himself

Omar O

Hey, I have a question. This is not me trying to make you hurry up or anything, just out of curiosity. When will you be able to upload La casa de papel? I understand you must be busy right now so it's just to know. Only a month and a few days for the last 5 episodes to be released and I'm really hyped tbh.

sand_fl

Here is a treat for everyone. Just don’t check the comments for spoilers: https://youtu.be/Y2veQiSeD74

killezio3 killezio3

i didn't forget about it, that was the only theory i thought was definitely right, it just didn't come up in the discussions 😁

LM Reactions

Watch the next THREE episodes together if you can. It's very important. There are some huge, huge spoilers on the way.

Thank you for the early release, heartfelt reaction as always, can't wait for the rest of the season, you are not ready!

Sol NaeemBa

Eren went over to Liberio before Willy and the Tyburs even got involved so it's safe toassume so

Polygon

He reacted that way because that's the same phrase he used to say, not because he realized what Willy was going to do. Also, Eren was going to attack no matter what Willy said so the fact that the end of his talk with Reiner coincidentally happened to line up with Willy's declaration doesn't really make a difference. He'd already gone over to Liberio before the Tyburs had even gotten involved and he'd coordinated the attack with the "mystery soldier". There's more to this, but those are manga spoilers

Polygon

Lola: i hate this song it puts me on edge Milena: 💃 😂😂 love you two

Jonathan baez

2 days between the reactions? Noice.

KarnaFireBorn

It's important to understand that Eren waited for the announcement, you can even notice in his face when Willie says "I was born into this world" what was gonna happen after. You want war? There you go, embrace it.

Mati D.

it's like my favourite one

yousef Dweik

I like how a couple episodes ago she was saying how she doesn’t like the opening. Alas she is slowly being converted like we were a year ago.

Deathonater5

Same, I think Eren would have attacked no matter what Tybur said on stage

sand_fl

Yes ladies, taste!

bondbond53

How are you guys liking the new studio that's works on this seasons compared to the previous one

adam john peters

Eren did wait for Willie to declare war before transforming, but the mystery soldier who led Cart and Jaw away did so before that, so I'm gonna assume that Eren was planning on attacking before he even knew that Willie was declaring war.

Daolord Badlands

this is why we all died of laughter when you said you hope that episode 5 doesn't end in a big cliffhanger lol

Kim555

I feel like everyone has forgotten Bertholdt. 😭

Melkor

Way back in Season 2, Lola predicted the Rumbling. She was certain that the titans in the walls had to be a factor in the endgame of the series. I think she forgot about it over time with the 40 other crazy theories we loved hearing over the show's progression, but good job on this one!

Isaac

Just saw the reaction and I'm sorry but your faces when you finished the episode were hilarious. You really have a thing for watching episodes with terrible cliffhangers when you can't watch more after that one. Anyway, I hope you had a good vacation and have a safe travel. Hope your time at the airport is bearable.

sand_fl

When willy and magath were talking about rat infestations they were talking about spies/enemies who have infiltrated

Nour Ariqat

noticed while editing

LM Reactions

did you notice when they mentioned Bertholdt’s father had died in this episode? If not you should rewatch that part it’s slightly before you see Annie’s father in the episode.

Melkor

Right, I feel like people were hearing their conversation but not understanding it until Eren transformed. Eren started by saying he came there for the same Reiner did, I was like ok he will attack. Like you said the whole conversation is just Eren talking to a mirror and siking himself up to do what he wanted to do.

jason carvalho

BOOOOM!

Anthony Gonzales

Is it Y?

Isaac

One of the best of this S4 P1.

Mati D.

I saw you hoping for eren to join reiner (or reiner to join eren) and it kinda made sense considering what he said. For me, Eren's speech basically meant "i understand why you had to go and destroy my world, so i hope you understand why i have to do the same"

Byron Santibañez

100% agree

Joris Baumann

My favorite character in the show just had their first appearance this episode.

GREAT REACTION!!! Probably the best one I've seen out of all the other reactors. I love how you two get so emotionally invested in the characters. This episode was like the pivotal moment of that, as a conversation between two main characters who everyone knows you both adore.

Peter Wyatt

This was the most tense moment of all SNK!!! IM SHOCK!!!

Arturo Gonzales

Eren has now killed Eldians in the house he was in.

Melkor

Its my favorite Episode, cant wait to see ur reaction :D lets go

Joris Baumann

LM reactions is in top 3 reaction peoples 🤯🤯🤯

Rich

Just wanna say u guys the GREATEST AOT reactors. I legit count the days till u guys upload the next episode

Crusher

Eren saw Falco and said " Fuck them kids" right after telling him he hopes he lives a long life

sand_fl

Lola: “I hate this song it puts me on edge” Milena: *vibing*

Nick

just kiddiiiiiiing :D

Isaac

well technically he did stop him for leaving the basement and i like to think he knew reiner was gonna protect him

LM Reactions

no, we went on a trip after this, we're at the airport now and planed to watch aot during the weekend but we're on standby cause they sold more tickets and we might not be home before sunday 😂

LM Reactions

Attack on titan being posted this early is a wet dream and this episode is fire

Mauro

My favorite episode of Aot!!❤🙉

Cobo

I have to be strong and wait for the full. Must. Be. Strong.

Isaac

That thumbnail on its own makes me so happy 😁. Now for the episode.

sam huggons

I wish they noticed that it would have been funny

Sebastian

I think it’s important to note that Eren didn’t do this out of revenge he did it because he had no other choice.

Sergeant Jay

Eren: You're a good guy, Falco. I hope you live long. Also Eren: Sikeeeeeeeeeee

Reiners wallet last episode goes brrrrrrrr. It kept printing money poor Reiner

Melkor

Is the full reaction coming soon too?
