2024-04-30 19:35:33 +0000 UTCHey guys love the reactions more each time I watch. Just a fun fact for you guys, if you get a chance or the time, go back to season 1 episode 3, it's the episode where eren keeps failing the harness training because of a malfunction in his belt, well I don't know the time stamp but if you go to the scene right after eren falls and hits his head really hard, it shows him back in cafeteria with everyone and bandages on his head, if you look closely when it first shows eren within that scene, when he's kind of staring into space and zoned out, you can see steam rising from his head wound, like when a titan shifter heals, first time viewers would never catch it but the creator basically told us eren was a titan 3 or 4 episodes before he actually turned for the first time, there's hidden foreshadowing all over a.o.t. and this is just one I thought you guys would like to know about. Keep up the good work

2024-04-11 19:28:07 +0000 UTC09:06 could be a little misconception from jared. titan shifters transform with injury which most often happens to be a bite to the hand because that is the easiest and quickest way to do so. but you could theoretically cut or bite yourself anywhere and transform. btw it doesnt have to be self injury either i believe, as we saw in ep 6 in season 2 where mikasa fails to kill reiner and berthold with her blade. i think they used the injury of that to transform. the problem in this scene was that erens body was still regenerating so he didnt have enough energy to transform

2024-04-11 12:27:00 +0000 UTCHaha, I knew this episode would make your brain and emotions run 100 mph. Amazing how an episode that is 90% standing in trees and talking is one of the most intense of the show!
Kevin
2024-04-11 11:53:10 +0000 UTCJust a few things: The other soldier that Berthold took with him is an unnamed person, he just needed his ODM gear. Ragako is the village Connie is from, the titan who couldn't walk was the titan upside down on top of a house. Eren doesn't necessarily need his hands / or to bite for him to transform. You just need to have any type of wound on your body, then have a strong will to transform. ( This is evident when Reiner and Berthold transformed, they just stood there with the grave wounds Mikasa gave them )

2024-04-11 07:10:43 +0000 UTCive watched this series probably 20 times start to finish and im still finding easter eggs sprinkled in that i never noticed before. reiner is such a complex and well written character. easily in my top 10 favourite characters.

2024-04-11 06:15:33 +0000 UTC*first time watcher* I had to go cool off for a bit before writing this. This episode not only triggered some thought-provoking questions for me, but also some serious stress..this show is crazy. 1. R’s “The titans here cant move at night, you should know all about it, Ymir.” - similar thought when Jared said, R knows more about Ymir than Ymir wants R to know. However, it also made me think that Ymir might know about some specifics behind how titan powers work, even though she said otherwise earlier. 2. The topic of soldier vs warrior comes into play again, with R’s behavior and Ymir’s deductive reasoning. Before, J&J said something about soldier fights to live vs warrior lives to fight(?). I dont know, but further to 1), Ymir knows something about the warrior part I believe. 3. R’s flashback of MARCO- this..made me pause and walk off. I cant unsee it now but I have to know what exactly happened to him first and why were the 3 of them holding back tears. 4. Beast Titan- possibly in cahoots with R&B. If theory is right, makes sense why it did what it did and has not been seen until now. But how much Ymir knows about the Beast, no clue. 5. R’s “do you think theres any future for this world”- referring to the world they are in now, or somewhere else where R&B, Ymir and Annie are from? Dont know. 6. These stand out to me as well- ‘Or would you rather put your hopes in Eren and rely on him over us?’ and ‘Krista’s future’. Could be something or nothing. Why didnt R&B mention anything about the titan which killed the person who saved R? Honestly, Im still dumbstruck from what was shown about Marco. So I will leave it as that for now 🙏🏻💜

2024-04-11 05:27:46 +0000 UTCGreat reaction fellas! I'm certain when y'all rewatch this episode in dub y'all will understand that Reiner moment better. The dub does a much better job of getting the point across that Reiner is conflicted imo. But if not, he was talking about getting promoted as a scout soldier which is why Bertholt was like "WTH??" 😂
Val
2024-04-11 04:47:52 +0000 UTCI reallyyyy look forward to your thoughts and insights in future seasons... it's gonna be wild!

2024-04-11 04:05:43 +0000 UTCReally enjoyed the post conversation for this one! These are the types of episodes where your thoughts are more important than the reaction itself.

2024-04-11 01:31:56 +0000 UTCSaying Reiner is a fave character or coming around many times is spoilery imo

2024-04-11 01:04:12 +0000 UTCReiner's my favourite character in the whole show, and this is the point where it began. Like you guys said, there seems to be more depth to him and Bert that meets the eye.

2024-04-11 01:01:44 +0000 UTCFirst time watcher here. I reallyy want to still have hope for Reiner and I hate that. He’s conflicted and I think it does hurt to an extent to know the pain he’s caused these people he essentially lost himself in. But I hateeeee the fact that I’m still holding out for him. Like Eren was right. R&B are murderers. I don’t care if they’re working for a greater Titan or whatever, they’ve killed so many innocent people. I mean the mission was for them to wipe out humanity. Whether they care for the scouts doesn’t matter, that doesn’t change the fact that they are the biggest villains to date rn in the show. Bertholtd is really interesting to me. Why is he hiding behind Reiner like this. He hasn’t said anything really and even as a Titan he just stood their and emitted heat to keep them away from him. I really wanna know what he’s got going on in his mind. I don’t think he’s conflicted like Reiner. I hope we know more regarding him soon. Another thing, I really loved Eren’s VA in this episode. The tone of voice his VA used in some of these scenes were amazing. You can hear and feel his emotions in his voice. His hatred and everything was so clear in not only the voice acting but just the dialogue in general. The writing in this show just gets better and better. Also I’m with you Jared, as much as I don’t want Eren to be taken into Titan world, I want to see what’s going on there.

2024-04-11 00:53:39 +0000 UTC"Eren can I talk to you real quick? Yeah just so you know I am the armored titan he is the colossal Titan" 🤣🤣🤣 this scene has become 10 times more interesting after Episode 9... all of a sudden the most important/mindblowing reveal so far in the show, portrayed in such nonchalant and unassuming way, was the result of Reiner's conflicted state of mind. He is as much a Warrior as he is a soldier, and when both personalities keep overlapping, you end up with a dedicated soldier trusting his comrade enough to admit his warriors side to him. That is how broken Reiner is, not being able to separate the lie with reality. Episode 9 also gave us closure with Berthold mentioning that Reiner used to be a Warrior as Jordan mentioned (episode 4 if I am not mistaken, Utgard castle), this was a way of trying to get Reiner back when he was losing it. (It would be interesting to rewatch Reiner's reaction at that moment) So now I can finally say it, In episode 6, Eren talked about their hometown on the wall and Berthold used that hometown reference, telling Reiner that it is time to go back, in an attempt to bring him back again from his soldier state, but that had a terrible effect on Reiner, instead of helping him, it confused him even more. Since Eren was the one mentioning it first, Berthold agreeing made it feel, to his already confused self, that everybody on that wall was just all friends and buddies, the rest is history 🤣 . This is AOT for you

2024-04-10 23:46:21 +0000 UTCWow. This episode hits different now. It's been. While since I re watched this one.
Eugene Conner
2024-04-10 22:57:35 +0000 UTCI find that's true with most "traitors" in this show. Or hell, everybody, really. AOT makes a good point to kinda show the difference between people who just have conflict of beliefs, and people who are actually psychotic and ruthless, which I love. It's barely about who's wrong and who's right - just who has reason enough to justify their actions. Which, is an open ended, opinionated statement. It's up to the perspective of the viewers to decide that. There's only really a handful of people we can collectively decide as "unforgivable" AND "unable to understand". Every other "villain" falls on one side or the other.

2024-04-10 22:34:44 +0000 UTCIt’s the remix
Cheryl Lambert
2024-04-10 22:04:52 +0000 UTCI admit there were a few scenes I really expected them to pause and they didn’t. 😕
Kel
2024-04-10 22:01:24 +0000 UTCI saw a reactor say once (after spending most of the season asking “Where is Levi???”) that the reason he was left out of the action so much is because the season would’ve been over in two episodes if he was let loose on the enemies. I can’t disagree with that.
Kel
2024-04-10 22:00:12 +0000 UTCI remember how shocked and fascinated I was the first time I watched this episode and realized Reiner had a split personality. It just added so much depth to him and made me wonder what he was coming from. It also made it harder to hate him. Genius writing.
Kel
2024-04-10 21:58:32 +0000 UTCReiner is like a cop that’s on an undercover mission but he’s been undercover for too long
Zaria Parker
2024-04-10 21:54:25 +0000 UTCFeel like when Levi’s around sh*ts going down! I miss him. J & J can we get a playlist of the Outro music or at least put them up in the descriptions so I don’t have to do a lyric search. This one has to be a Jared pick (Let’s Get Married original or remix?). Pretty please 🥺🫰🏻😉
Cheryl Lambert
2024-04-10 21:37:50 +0000 UTCThe question "What does it mean to survive?" when it comes to human titans is such a good one!! and one that the show WILL explain.... later 😉. All your questions will be answered! We are here only to explain the things that you might not understand from the stuff that the show has already explained! Thank you for the reactions.
MelanieRS
2024-04-10 21:33:58 +0000 UTCThey got so many complaints about that but I prefer the pausing as well. I love hearing their thought process as they are going through it.
Cheryl Lambert
2024-04-10 21:32:27 +0000 UTCThe titan Hange wants to go capture is the one we found on its back a few episodes back in Conny's hometown Ragako.
Ashley K
2024-04-10 21:31:06 +0000 UTCHonestly, I enjoyed your videos more before episode 7 when you used to pause to discuss particular scenes. That's what set you apart from other reactors. Please go back to doing what you used to do ^^
Noah
2024-04-10 21:28:13 +0000 UTCbtw Eren actually said "what's a monkey?" instead of "what's that? A monkey?" in Japanese is written using hiragana (imitating the sound of words) and for Ymir is written in Kanji (words with significance meaning)
bort
2024-04-10 21:17:05 +0000 UTCThey went from "where is grisha" to "where is the beast titan" 😭 I love the way you stumble around in the dark
Maka
2024-04-10 20:54:38 +0000 UTCVery true that Levi is still with Pastor Nick because someone needs to watch him and his leg is still injured. But also I think narratively, things might have gone differently if Levi were around so something to also consider lol.
Les
2024-04-10 20:34:40 +0000 UTCyay early
bort
2024-04-10 20:33:41 +0000 UTCThanks for your reaction! I really like the talking scene on the tree - it really sets up a lot of things for the future. Btw, Levi is still injured from Annie, it only has been like 2-3 days for them, even though it feels like a month, haha. I am also curious as to what characters you are waiting to learn more about and understand better. I have a feeling you guys will like JJK too whenever you get there, but yup! Hope you will enjoy the season two finale. Shinzo wo Sasageyo!

2024-04-10 20:32:50 +0000 UTCGod i forgot how much shit happened in this episode...theres so much going on you guys r probably so confused to a point i can't even imagine.
Gatha Naranath
2024-04-10 20:26:20 +0000 UTCGuys I noticed you both have stopped pausing to discuss particular scenes.. nooooo :(((

2024-04-10 20:07:28 +0000 UTCI know it’s hard to sit in the confusion but I promise by the end of this (and even some before) everything will connect. In the meantime, prepare to have more questions lol. I’m loving watching your journey!
Kelli
2024-04-10 19:44:57 +0000 UTC„Eren is not conflicted“ was my favorite quote of this reaction lol
