We are watching the series on Wakanim (same as Funimation or Crunchyroll)
This episode provided us with some more interesting/horrifying flashbacks, where we finally got to spend a little more time with some of these other characters who are on the opposing side. And then in present time, it seems like Bertholdt finally committed fully to the cause, and he is now ready to end this conflict once and for all...
Comments
Like... it's fine that it is that way, we can manage, but it's the lack of consistency that is throwing me off. You know, when we get the name on screen and we know that (most) names are supposed to be pronounced in a Germanic/Eurocentric way, we just automatically assume, and then we end out in a Zehkeh / Sieg situation like this 😂

2022-03-05 11:03:14 +0000 UTC9:23 Reiner was fooling around lol it’s not meant to be taken literally.

2022-03-04 22:00:27 +0000 UTCHe’s definitely the strongest of the 3, yeah. There’s also kind of a confirmation regarding that later on the series.

2022-03-04 21:49:49 +0000 UTCYou're right, I'm French and it works the same way Levi is pronounced Lévi (Lehvee as you said) but even though that name is originally Hebrew and supposed to be pronounced that way I guess Isayama has chose this name in its English/American pronunciation. I think this is the only plausible explanation.
Billy
2022-03-04 07:38:04 +0000 UTCBut if it's not Rivaille, then they're not Eurofying Levi properly to be honest. In German/Danish the e in Levi is said more like at eh, and not an ee sound. So a bit like [Lehvee]. + I don't think AoT exists with Danish subtitles 🤷🏼

2022-03-04 05:17:07 +0000 UTCI've said it before but I thought I'd mention it again, but I love the empathy you have towards Reiner and Bertholdt. It's easy to forget that they are both teenagers and (as far as we know right now) have been "undercover" for 5 years alongside our other candidates. They were both so young when this started. Can't wait for future episodes!

2022-03-04 03:17:38 +0000 UTCBeen a long time fan (since the stellar watchmen reactions) and couldn't resist getting early access to the AOT reactions so I decided I'd finally put some cash in, good stuff you two

2022-03-03 16:07:59 +0000 UTCAh interesting I'd never heard of this update. It makes sense since Rivaille is the phonetic japanese translation of the name Levi. Also Levi is a real name unlike Rivaille...
Billy
2022-03-03 12:01:48 +0000 UTCThats cool, never knew Zeke was actually Sieg. They should have kept that! Isayama did confirm Levi is meant to be Levi and that Rivaille was actually just an early mistranslation (He got the name from a documentary called Jesus Camp)
Effi
2022-03-03 10:31:54 +0000 UTCI totally get that. It's just Sonny repeated the word "evil race" after Reiner in the Marco flashback so I kind of expected you to discuss that a little bit. not a big deal!
Ary Tang
2022-03-03 08:36:41 +0000 UTCYea exactly. I think the English subtitles for this series could be American subtitles, since Americans like to adapt other cultures to their own rather than keeping the original version... it's a pretty common thing so I won't be surprised! I'm sure if one day you want to watch the series with Danish subtitles all the names will be in their original version.
Billy
2022-03-03 08:30:53 +0000 UTCI'm not sure what you are referring to, but we can't remember everything that happened/was mentioned during the episode, so we are bound to miss/not discuss things
Sonny Mike Olsen
2022-03-03 07:38:33 +0000 UTCThank you! That makes sense. Weird they didn't keep the original names, but that's how it goes with a world that continously anglofies everything 😅
Sonny Mike Olsen
2022-03-03 07:35:46 +0000 UTCwow, didn't know that
Ary Tang
2022-03-03 06:10:31 +0000 UTCI'm kind of surprised that you didn't talk about the evil race part since you picked that up during the reaction haha. but as always, really looking forward to the next one!! XDD
Ary Tang
2022-03-03 06:08:23 +0000 UTCBuckle up the next 3 episode are going to be amazing!!! These are my personal favorites of this season.

2022-03-03 05:56:28 +0000 UTCaahhh cant wait for the next one

2022-03-03 01:43:41 +0000 UTCCan’t wait for your discussions and reactions for the next episode.
Bryan
2022-03-03 00:52:06 +0000 UTCThe beauty of Isayama's writing. Even seemingly background characters can become centerpiece and have big moments on screen. And yeah the 'Apple Seed' track is amazing!
Malak
2022-03-02 23:29:56 +0000 UTCBertholdt has the skills it was more his personality that was holding him back, now he has fully committed to the fight so there is no hesitation in his movements. Just love that song when Bertholdt inner monologue going on and then we get our mini nuke explosion.
Thamor
2022-03-02 22:40:34 +0000 UTCMore like not smart enough to go away when he heard what they said, and just leave before they notice him. =) RIP Marco.

2022-03-02 22:35:02 +0000 UTCYou guys are totally in the right about the consciousness transfer thing. It’s totally plot convenience/contrivance.
nordquist7516
2022-03-02 22:33:52 +0000 UTCYes Zeke, but it's the english translation, his original name is actually Sieg as you said it I believe (You can hear it btw even if it's subtle). Some names have an "international" version like this one, or Levi: the original version is actually Rivaille (R is pronounced L in japanese, that's also why Reiner is normally pronounced Lainer). Most of the names in this show are european, Sieg is german, Rivaille is french, etc.
Billy
2022-03-02 19:12:46 +0000 UTCZeke is pronounced "Zeek" it's the short form of Ezekiel which is Hebrew
DreadedJay
2022-03-02 15:45:08 +0000 UTCYup his name is Zeke ...that damn monkey
Sarai Olivares
2022-03-02 15:28:41 +0000 UTCI don't think Mikasa was in any way holding back, but rather Bertholdt finally overcame his timidness and hesitation. He's finally come to terms with what he believes needs to be done. If he had the same confidence from the beginning I think he could have easily got 2nd place in the cadet rankings instead of 3rd.
Malak
2022-03-02 15:06:08 +0000 UTCRIP Marco, too smart for the world of AoT
