Lantern7 October 31, 2018 Share October 31, 2018 So what you're saying is that Eren basically killed his father. Not unlike Goku killing Grandpa Gohan, only with squishing instead of devouring.

I figured it out once: Wall Maria is Texas, The area between Maria and Rose is Colorado, Wall Rose is California, Between Rose and Sina is Oregon, and Sina is South Dakota. Regarding the food shortages, while there is seemingly more than enough land, given their technological level they may simply lack the means to grow and harvest enough food for everyone. Also, the inner walls are where all the wealthiest live so it was probably more to do with them losing their status and luxury than the lack of the ability to support more people. That being said, losing Wall Maria represented about a 37% loss of land and losing Wall Rose would have been a 56% loss. That would have been huge resource hits for any country to absorb.

Their plan was to send Zeke in as part of the Warrior Unit, capture the Founding Titan, bring it back to Grisha's wife so she could gain the Founding Titan Powers and then restore the Eldian Empire.

PotterOtherP July 1, 2019 Share July 1, 2019 (edited) While watching the episode, I was sure that Mikasa was going to commit mutiny after deciding that Levi and Hange had failed to kill their respective Titans and had therefore forfeited their leadership authority. It happened much more peacefully than I was expecting. Some comments to the above questions: Reveal spoiler The king who raised the walls 100 years ago is still somehow able to influence his descendants who have the Founding Titan. In addition to titan powers, thoughts and memories can be transmitted through the "paths" that connect the Eldians. The king's will to avoid war was so strong that any royal who inherits the founding titan will also inherit his refusal to use the powers to fight. Historia's claim to the throne is her bloodline, but the reason she became queen is that the military overthrew the existing government with the "false" king and installed her. this was done after the government tried to sacrifice more of the population after hearing a fake report of Titans invading Wall Sina. Eren was able to use the Founding Titan's control powers when he came into physical contact with Dina as a Titan. My question is whether being in contact with a normal human with royal blood would also be sufficient to activate the power, or if it has to be a Titan with royal blood. Eren believes it has to be a Titan, which is why he doesn't say anything out of fear that Historia will be seized by the military and turned into a Titan. There are lots of other questions that we won't learn the answers to for a while, but here's an obvious one: How's Annie?

While I'm thinking it . . . has the manga ever explained why air travel is a no-go? I would not have thought of it, but then I read a story in the American-made Attack on Titan Anthology which centers on that. I'm just curious if the original material dealt with that.

PotterOtherP July 11, 2019 Share July 11, 2019 That's a good point, they have the ability to make hot-air balloons but haven't thought of it yet. Maybe you could explain it by saying the previous government and church were suppressing the development of any technology which would actually result in defeating the Titans or learning the truth about them. The Titan guillotine being a good example. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/56502-attack-on-titan-general-discussion/page/3/#findComment-5437308
the fresh maker July 14, 2019 Share July 14, 2019 So, I wasn't misrembering the episode in which that all-important scene aired. That's pretty inexcusable on Toonami's part, especially if they never air it at all. I shouldn't be surprised, though, since they've never aired Levi's gaiden, which is fundamental to understanding the Erwin/Levi relationship. I understand they cut content for more advertising space, but sheesh. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/56502-attack-on-titan-general-discussion/page/3/#findComment-5443986

I must except that I'm old and senile because I get so confused everytime back story is introduced. I'm not even sure who the bad guys are. Anyway are Erin and Beast Titan brothers from another mother? Is that why he said he'd come back and rescue Erin in a previous episode? Is there anywhere I can view Levi's gaiden without seeing any spoilers? Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/56502-attack-on-titan-general-discussion/page/3/#findComment-5444323

Expand Not to mention the (literal?) demonization of the Eldians. Although it’s still not clear whose history is true - maybe that’s the point? I was spoilered on this back story, so I’m glad we got it over with in one ep. Still neat to see. I figured the interrogator with the round glasses was the Owl, at least until the other guard stayed up on the wall too long.
