EARLY ACCESS: Attack on Titan 3x18 (55) FULL REACTION

I have tears running down my face right now its so baddd

J Knight

Finally a patron

Malik Ford

R.I.P Erwin 💜

Kindbunny nz

Since the very first ep of your AOT reactions, I’ve jumped around from all you guys on whose my favorite, but damn, you guys are all my favorite - Stoked to see what y’all think of the rest of AOT, it only keeps getting better from here boys

Caleb Hersman

You see how Erwin smiled and thanked Levi after getting told by him to lead the recruits into their deaths? As Erwin said before: "I always thought death would be the easier option", meaning that his expression was a sign of relief, finally putting his duty aside and getting to rest despite wanting to reach the basement and learning the truth at first hand. Levi noticed this in addition to Armin also having dreams. I believe this is what Levi's reasoning was in that moment.

Ya Boy

That two arms argument is dumb considering Erwin’s best accolades are arguably from season 3 when he had one arm. Not to mention that becoming a titan would regrow the arm so the point is moot. This comment was never intended as a debate between who is a better decision, just simply to highlight the glaring issue in their “it’s 5-1 to armin” comment.

Sean Carroll

He has more accolades coz he’s been serving far longer than Armin. But honestly they’re equal, and Armin is ahead a little because he got both arms and he has hopes and dreams. Erwin wants to see the basement, but Armin wanna see the sea, farther than Erwin wants.

Regie Khemvisay

Yeah both have the mind and strategies but at the endgame of the day, Armin had both arms and is hopeful and has dreams. Plus main protagonist plot armor lol. But yeah, at the end of the show, I wondered what Erwin would’ve planned

Regie Khemvisay

Oohh.. oh hell yeah that one is God Tier lol. Also nice save ✊🏻

Tiffany

That's my second favorite, it really is perfect. The lyrics, the vibe, everything. But the next one just stuck with me forever ❤️

Isabel Schertel

To Isabel, Tiffany and BugBite23 I meant the ,,shaking" one ;) although not my kind of music anymore, but lyrics is the best.

Onomatopeja

Don't forget the end credit scene in Ep.19..And make sure you take notes 😂

Mhyyy

I didn't realize they were doing triple episodes. I watched 2 Monday night. Then my place (and everyone within a mile) had no power for days. Not only that, but I I had a fever from a stomach bug and was sleeping on my girlfriend's aunt's couch. My power came back on, I perusing through patreon and see that this episode is out!!! 😭 I literally can't tell you how happy it made me!!!

Green Nolan

To be honest, until the last episode, I regretted Erwin's death, not because I hate Armin hehe, but Erwin was after Levi, my favorite character, I always felt he was missing :'( R.I.P. Erwin <3

Magda Ch

yeah thats what im afraid of.. im afraid that they forgot or totally forgot about some basic stuff that already explained so far like how titan serum works.. IF the episodes gave them blatantly explanation or flashback scenes about those crucial information, then its fine.. but im afraid about future season or episode where it just kept moving forward because the anime "think" that we already understand about some basic knowledge as far as the episode does.. on the other hand, im bit confused aswell, because what i knew was they were really took huge precaution about spoiler to the point maybe they wont read the comments in afraid of some spoiler.. so i just pray somehow they will notice this thing...

AL FALAUM

im afraid that these folks were starting to have a wrong assumption on some based level knowledge about the animes atm.. one of them is about how the normal titan, abnormal, and titan shifter work.. what makes them difference, and how so far possibly it could exist.. im afraid because of this miss knowledge, the stuff ahead would be become more confusing again and again... its like we started to learn about advanced mathematic stuff but we dont understand the basic of what is 1+1 and why is that 1+1 equal to 2.. thats what im afraid..

AL FALAUM

I get you! And I agree about the creating dumb titans thing; that part was definitely already mentioned/clear.

maefr

Mason Quinn with the giga brain predictions yet again. I am LOVING these reactions guys, you 4 really appreciate AOT how it deserves to be appreciated.

Grace

Maybe you are right. Im sorry. But I truly think they sometimes don’t believe anything they are seeing on the screen and they get way way too confused. They still thought that injecting someone with the spinal fluid would automatically make a titan with consciousness, Even though it was already stated multiple times that you have to eat someone. I will be careful next time I comment about this anime though! Im sorry guys. ❤️

menkoi

he could have been though: if he 'died' suspiciously and his body wasnt returned to them etc., probably best to avoid making definitive statements like this until they are revealed in the show, its fun to watch the guys speculate!

maefr

Literally. 5-1 my ass. People have such short memories. Erwin toppled the whole government. Yet every reactor always says the same about the erwin vs armin. It speaks volumes about how people forget so many details in aot. Details even the author seems to contradict himself in fact. I wonder if its all a tactic, the author still having something up his sleeve to explain the contradictions. Because explaining those contradictions reveals a greater truth. One that he does not want to show yet

Allen Valdes

You don’t think eren possesses that mindset??

Sean Carroll

Thank you, at that moment Erwin had more accolades. Personally i think that meant that Erwin was the correct choice. Plus, Erwin had the ability to sacrifice his humanity in order to defeat monsters/enemy which Armin so clearly states in season 1. An ability that we see that Eren and Armin clearly do not have

Allen Valdes

Especially the AoT Suite!!! It's so beautifully made

Ashley Garcia

We tend to forget that they're all child soldiers. Annie, Burrito, and Reiner were 12 when they infiltrated the walls (we're assuming they're under some chain of command because they submit to the Beast Titan's commands and they call him Chief), and even now, at this point of the story they're all about 15-16 (I think Reiner's like 17 because I think they mentioned him being a bit older in S1 but idk). It's tragic when you truly begin to think about the horrific implications of a system that trains children to be soldiers - within the walls it's survival mode ('fight or die') for example. It's a theme AoT sets up from the very beginning. "Tell me who the hell would want to kill people by their own choice?! Who the hell would like doing this sort of thing?! Do you think I wanted to do this?! People hate and despise us, we've done such terrible things, we deserve to die. Things we'll never be able to take back... But... we just... couldn't come to terms with our sins. The only time we had some respite was when we pretended to be soldiers." -Bertholdt in S2 .

Ashley Garcia

The injection can only create dumb titans. To be able to have Consciousness is to eat someone who is like Eren, Riner, Zeke, Bertolt. Dumb titans cannot turn back to humans unless they have consciousness. Dumb titans does not have the “person” in the neck. Even though they ARE humans. Only titans that have consciousness has the person in the neck. This means Eren ate his dad. Riner ate someone, Bertolt ate someone, Zeke ate someone, Annie ate someone. Everyone who has titan powers ate someone. Zeke is not Erwins dad by the way, Erwins dad was killed by the police because he was smart, remember? I love your guys’ content! Just wanted to clarify stuff for you guys.

menkoi

make sure you watch the next episode until the end

Maka

They still got like 4 episodes of the season, THEN it’s end of prolog

Skellyp

srry, my mistake here!

Vinicius Pacheco

Look dude, I’m here for my YouTube Uncles and this AMAZING show. This is such a weird topic to be like “🤓 well actually”, hormones don’t dictate if you’re gonna be a crying blubbery mess. Like I said previously, it depends on the individual. Thanks for your correspondence, I really don’t know what I would have done without it, good day☕️

Tiffany

If we were to do the numbers on accolades between Erwin and Armin, Erwin would win quite clearly, it’s certainly on 5-1 in armins favour Armin accolades 1: came up with the plan to get everyone’s gas filled up in trost 2. Successfully spoke for eren causing pyxis to spare their lives and use eren to save trost with the boulder 3. First to figure out Annie was the female titan 4. Came up with the plan to travel to wall Maria at night to avoid titans 5. Saved jeans life by shooting the girl on Kenny squad 6. Helped save eren from rod reiss 7. Uncovered reiners hiding place 8. Found a way to defeat the colossal titan 9. In general Armin has survived 8 missions Erwin accolades 1. While serving under commander Keith shadis Erwin never lost a soldier on his team 2. Erwin invented the smoke signals which massively improved survival rates for the scouts forever onwards 3. Recruited Levi to the scouts, humanity’s strongest soldier 4. Was the first commander to allow titan experiments to be done with hange in charge 5. Successfully won the trial to allow eren to join the scouts, massively increasing humanity’s chance of victory 6. Deduced that a spy was in their ranks after the two titan test subjects were killed and created a plan to lure out the enemy resulting in the successful capture of the female titan in the forest. 7. Created a plan to capture Annie in stohess district 8. Successfully lead the scouts on a mission to save eren from Reiner, bertholdt and Ymir, sacrificing his arm in the process. 9. Came up with the plan to overthrow the royal government and get Pyxis, nile and Zachary on his side to achieve this, resulting in the military taking control of the walls to remove the corrupt government 10. Came up with the plan to defeat rod reiss titan and successfully determined his face being torn off after being dragged on the ground 11. Enthroned historia as queen resulting in celebration and unity in the walls, including improving the scouts reception from the public 12. Deduced that the platypus titan was intelligent and the enemies scout that announced their arrival 13. Tricked Reiner into averting his attention from the horses onto eren, allowing the horses to be safe and the thunder spears to be successfully used to defeat Reiner 14. Came up with the plan to defeat the beast titan and successfully convinced 100+ new recruits to sacrifice their lives for humanity. 15. In general Erwin survived over 30 expeditions over his lifetime which is unheard of for a scout, easily the most successful scout in history 16. His dream and desire to learn the truth in the basement was correct with him and his fathers theory I understand the love for Armin but just wanted to rectify the 5-1 comment as Erwin has done far more than Armin but I agree he would have wanted Armin to be revived as well

Sean Carroll

This is peak fiction btw

Ratu Syakirah Bayu

Yeah but whenever they talk about the syringe they keep talking as if whenever someone takes it they become an intelligent titan automatically like when earlier they were saying Levi should take it to fight the beast.

Enchiladas

When they brought it up tho, i was like. Oh yeah. Then just keep him as a dumb titan. Imprison him like Bean and Sawney then capture a shifter and feed it to Erwin. But yeah, he's been through so much hell already. And being a dumb titan feels like nightmare as per Ymir. Levi made a good call.

Carbon

Quick heads up, episode 19 has a post credit scene. Just don't want you to miss it!

Mr_chillmann

hahaha more stress is about to begin 🤣

Mhyyy

Third opening. The second opening is wings of freedom

Manny D.

Mason Quinn Episodes 1-54: "THE BASEMENT! THE BASEMENT!! WHY DID EVERYONE FORGET ABOUT THE BASEMENT?!?!" Mason Quinn Episode 55: "I'm fine with the whole series ending here 😊✌️"

Saynt Michael

Yes! Long live, Eren! XD Thank you so much for the 3 episodes in a row ! We ate well !

Rena Unnie

Well it’s factually true, your own life experience doesn’t dictate world fact. If you look at reactions purely for this show then women cry fare more then the men

Sean Carroll

thank you guys for listening to our request of triple eps... great reaction and whew the next few episodes are A LOT OF INFO... please don't hesitate to re-watch them if needed 😅 and i still can't believe we're almost at season 4... these past arc is my personal fave but the upcoming season is.... !!!!!!!!!! that's all i'm gonna say 😁

B23

You guys keep forgetting that when you first become a titan with the syringe, you're first a dumb titan. You can become an intelligent titan only after eating someone like Eren, Reiner, Beast, Bertholdt and now Armin who are intelligent titans. So no Erwin couldn't just have take the syringe earlier to get his arm back because then he'd just be a dumb titan with no intelligent titan around to eat except for Eren.

Enchiladas

Now, you finally finished the introduction 😂

Yerena Fernanda

Agreed! I love the next part of the show! Can't wait.

SilverS

Thanks for the great reaction and for triple episodes ^^ Dave, You had busy weeks, please rest well😊👹 Just a small suggestion, moving forward, please make sure everybody understands what will be delivered. Pause if You need to, or go back to certain parts after episode ends. It was already mentioned that You guys might be a little bit confused about titan serum, so when the time of more information comes (You will know when), please talk it over with everybody, and don't be scared to read comments. It's important to understand ^^ all the best friends🤟👺

MJK

If it wasn't for Erwin's leadership and experience, they all would have been behind bars or executed by the fake king

Cherrie

The emotional roller coaster isn’t over yet guys, we’re only half way threw it 😏😉💯💪

Jonathan Lopez

I always think anime/manga as story telling with out the limitations that movies have and because is so big in Japan it gets just as much recognition/profit as big movies it makes sense to get your story made via manga instead 🎥 so nice to see the oak change his opinion on animation and see it from us anime geeks perspectives ☺️

Zara❤️

It was a painful month. I literally couldn't study 😭

Butthats

Just doing 3 episodes at a time these past two weeks was an excellent call! Much as I enjoy getting extra content I think it's best to finish out the remaining episodes of this season evenly :)

NinPotato

When this aired, people had to wait a week between this episode and the previous, but people reading the manga had to wait a month. I remember posts about shrines to Armin and tributes, it was wild

Stef

A little piece of information for u guys: If you hear again Erwin speeches, he almost always uses the phrase “Shinzo wo sasageyo!” that is translated to smth like “Dedicate your heart!”. And thats the name of the second music used as opening for the show. The first opening is iconic, i know, but i have the feeling that the second opening hits different after you watch these last episodes, maybe search it with english lyrics on YouTube :)

Vinicius Pacheco

Wasn’t that a ride guys, AOT really does have spectacular moments that remain memorable. RIP Erwin The Goat, one of the best commanders in all of anime. Also like someone else pointed out in the comments. The last 4 episodes of the season are heavily plot driven, so don’t be afraid to rewatch these episodes off camera if you feel like you miss anything after the first watch on camera since you guys don’t pause or rewind during reactions

~Mercedeez Lee~

excited for next Monday already 🤣🤣🤣

Mhyyy

Hell yes!!! I love the next opening! It's badass

BugBite23

Yall were so emotionally drained, the "To Be Continued" was much needed lol The moment Bert started screaming for help, I was just like DD. The way yall (Annie, Reiner, & Bertholdt) jumped Marco and left him to be eaten with no mercy, I felt no way sorry for Bert in this scene. I do admit it was savage though lol

Violet Lebouf

LOL 😂 -name redacted- being called Platypus is hilarious 🤣

Chai Tea

Yeah I dont get people paying for reactions and then spoiling the reactors in the comments. And yet it happens to every reactor...

Manny D.

This is the end of the prologue of AOT guys… if you can believe that!! The true story begins & I’m thrilled to rewatch the rest of this with you all ❤️

Chai Tea

Erwin was drunk off the idea of proving his dad right, Armin was drunk off of the limitless beauty the world had to offer. Erwin's hopes, dreams, and ambitions, lived and died within the wall, while Armin's expanded far beyond it. That's why I think Levi chose Armin.

Mark Romero

Mikasa was about to slice him but hanj stepped in.

Skellyp

Pretty sure the next episode has a post credit scene so make sure you watch it!

Skellyp

I love how each episode has a longer and longer discussion

Skellyp

there's not asaik. There was someone who set up an unofficial one ages a while ago but the crew isn't involved in it.

Manny D.

sort of agree but at the same time its really hindsight 20/20 for us who've seen the entire show already

peachy af

It makes sense tho. It's one less big bad with an insane kill count AND one of the main characters gets to live with his death.

Rafael Ramirez

and some people out there still say "animation are only for children" 😁

Fajar Kurniawan

I was wondering if maybe that was a factor in why they chose to not include the opening in this episode, aside from not having any music until the very end.

Rafael Ramirez

They sometimes like to go back during the discussion and look at certain scenes so they'll probably do that a lot when the time comes.

Rafael Ramirez

man everytime i watch these three episodes it doesn't get easier. Masterpiece but so emotionally taxing. glad you guys enjoy as many others are saying the real story starts now

Chandler Smith

Floch the goat🐐

Alex2882

Lmao what? I’ve met some pretty emotional men in my life as well as women who have the emotional capacity of a rock. Your emotions don’t have anything to do with your gender, it just depends on the type of person you are. Don’t tell me this is your way of saying “men don’t cry”, cause if so, I call bullshit.

Tiffany

I bet you guys felt like you just watched a damn movie these last 3 eps. Truly one of the legendary aot trilogies. And guess what, there are still two more trilogies. The next one is episodes 4x5, 4x6 and 4x7

Sean Carroll

They are unable to split the injection for both because they only have one intelligent titan they can eat. If they had Reiner, zeke or the cart titan person then they could steal two by splitting the injection

Sean Carroll

Well within his right to have a voice for one of the biggest choices in aot history

Sean Carroll

Men don’t really cry as much as women so it’s not surprising you would and they wouldn’t.

Sean Carroll

Armins dream is the vastness of the sea. Its honestly beautiful, you could say that he has the ocean in his eyes🌊

Tiffany

The creator Isayama said about Erwin's "is it all just a childish delusion" line, that Erwin's death was about him finally letting go of his childhood dream and fulfilling his role as Commander, dying by his soldiers. I personally think the 'My soldiers rage, my soldiers scream, my soldiers fight' was catharsis for Erwin - because Levi chose for him what he couldn't for himself, he could let go of the basement and finally die a proper Commander's death, by his soldiers in the field.

Faiza

They are almost finished with the prologue 🥹

Tiffany

WAAAAARRR💀

Tiffany

Honestly I’m surprised no one cried, albeit they did get emotional. I mean, just look at their faces throughout the episode 😭 this episode and last episode .. I was a sobbing mess. This ending is bittersweet, happy that Armin got to live but also crushed that we lost such a great commander. I think what helps set the tone is that there is no background music through the whole episode until the end, when we see titan Armin go after Bernard. These last three episodes are rated as some of the best episodes in entertainment cinema. I love you guys so much, thanks for giving this show a chance. Long Live commander Erwin, SASAGEYO!🐎🐎🐎✊🏻

Tiffany

Same!

Minerva Ravenclaw

I understand the need of being surprised for future episodes and that's why I will delete it, but he did say it and Eren repeated it

Alexiani Gollarza

He didn't say that, delete this

Sean

If you haven't noticed the episode has no music until Levi makes his decision 🩷 brilliant episode it's my personal favorite

Minerva Ravenclaw

That's too early to say that they don't get the message... Let them reach season 4

Minerva Ravenclaw

I think this comment is unnecessary. Can you delete it real quick?

chonkybae

Alexiani Gollarza

For Oak: I saw a documentary on Netflix about a volcano exolotion and a guy was as badly burned as Armin here (very good you should see it, I'll look the name up) and he is still alive, no titan power for him so it is a miracle and for him it was possible

Alexiani Gollarza

A lot of comments saying the same but, pay close attention to the next few episodes, do not asume, listen and digest the information. Love you guys, thanks for these episodes🤍🤍 thanks for being happy for Armin🥹🥹🥹

Alexiani Gollarza

Yes, I certainly hope Diamond Dave or Mason Quinn comes across this comment for clarification. Though, I can see them being cautious for fear of spoilers. But no spoilers here since it was info given in this episode lol I was really hoping that they would all pick up on how the serum works when it was explained (again) in this episode during the flashback of Erwin explaining how the serum will be leveraged. It clearly states that once the serum is used, the person initially becomes a Titan that lacks intelligence....until they eat someone with Titan powers like Reiner XD All of them were watching so intently during that sequence that I thought for sure they would understand that the serum has some pretty significant conditions. But alas....lol Still loved their reactions and I can totally understand details are missed or forgotten for first time viewers. So thanks Badd Medicine for another 3 episode treat and glad you guys are enjoying the developments!

JJR10

No better words can explain this! 😭🤍🤍🤍

Alexiani Gollarza

Still young…. Yes. But as we all know that doesn’t necessarily matter if you know what I mean

Dominic Trussoni

Ahhh perfectly phrased 👏

Isabel Schertel

Erwin is one of my favorite characters too, but I'm kinda glad he didn't make it, because of everything that's about to happen. I just don't wanna know what that would've done to him 😭

Isabel Schertel

I thought so too, but in s4, there's no other way but to realize that. I just think that they haven't seen anything like aot yet, so they're still focused on right and wrong, good and bad. And also, we don't know anything about Reiner and Berthold other than them being cruel traitors.

Isabel Schertel

does anyone know if there's a Badd Medicine subredit??

Daniela Robles

he's so annoying!!

Daniela Robles

Agree! Although I think what Levi said about why he NOT chose Erwin is crucial. It's not about who's more important or better, it was about Erwin, and that he had done enough 🥹

Isabel Schertel

Best opening being the next one, right? 😌

Isabel Schertel

somebody shouldve laid their hands on floch

e

The story really starts to bloom after this and it doesn't stop from this point on

Kwisatz

Side note: after this episode was released, there's been a lot of discourse and division regarding Levi's decision. I've seen audience's disappointed by people's reactions in the past because of their opinions, but I just want to mention that there's no real 'right or wrong' way to feel about it overall. Both sides of the arguement have their reasons, but regardless, I'm just glad we got to see all of your own reactions and opinion on these last few episodes, it's great content for sure! always worth the wait🤘🔥

Kaisen Carter

Make sure you guys watch through the entire episode next week!

Smuckfuzzer

My comment won't be anyhing new, but next 4 episodes are... well, brain frying. Plot nuke and then without mercy season 4. Now you are still at turning point of AoT, so don't hesitate on rewinding these last 4 episodes. Best opening still ahead. Can't wait to see you it. I am sure you will love it.

Onomatopeja

The true story of aot starts now

Dominic Trussoni

Awesome reactions as always! 😎 I keep getting so invested in hearing your thoughts and theories, it has me feeling like I'm watching it for the first time again along with you guys 🙏

Kaisen Carter

I guess it already has been said but just in case There will be a scene after the ending song next week for episode 56 It's very important to watch it

Hugo Pontgelard

Also, they only had one intelligent titan to eat so multiple doses wouldn’t have mattered.

Sarah C

Alot of meaning were drawn in this decision against Erwin's life. There is the comparison between Erwin's and Armin's dreams, Kenny's line "everyone has to be drunk on something to keep pushing on" is what made Levi do a double-take. It seemed that Erwin's dream ends when he discover what's in the basement and may will lose motivation after that while Armin's dream are way far beyond the walls.

krai

Take the part where they were cheering while Titan Armin was finishing Bertholt out of context and show it to somwone who hasn't watch AoT 🤣

krai

See though, that's just not right. He can convey that message as he wants, but evil exists and it's a very real true thing. It isn't subjective, it's objective. Reiner, Bertholdt, Annie, and their 4th member infiltrated the walls with the express intention to massacre a bunch of people safe in the walls that never did any harm to them. That's evil. They can have a different perspective, but someone thinking they're entitled to what belongs to me doesn't justify them taking it from me.

Marco Gutierrez

Please read: the next three episodes are about to drop an insane amount of lore and answers to you guys. Given how you all still seem to struggle to understand certain details these next three episodes I expect might be too difficult for you to understand first go. I highly recommend a rewatch in your spare time of episode 20 and 21 to see if you can grasp the details more clearly. If you don’t understand the information in these next three episodes then you will all struggle greatly in season 4. A rewatch of ep 20 and 21 is highly recommended

Sean Carroll

Sadly they don’t seem to understand the message that the author is trying to portray. There are no good guys and bad guys in war, simply people with different perspectives. Admin said these words earlier in the season

Sean Carroll

Well there wouldn’t be a reason for them to be happy right ? No spoilers.

Envy

@Faiza damn it shows you that he died before actually showing him dying

Peeker

Yes I think its implied that only the full dose works. In every one of the injection cases there's a syringe, a needle and a container with a specific amount of the fluid. It's the same amount Rod was going to make Historia take even though the injection we have now is one that Kenny stole from rod's bag. So I think we can assume every injection case has the same items inside it, and the same amount of fluid in the container to use. Considering the type of fluid it is, I think that what's in the injection case is probably the minimum dosage for it to work, so it would have to be for one person that way

Faiza

He is so underrated! Appears in almost every scene with Hange right from Season 1 and never fails to address her as Section Commander. I felt so bad to see him go and barely anyone notices he saves her in the end. There's also a easter egg where when Erwin says to Levi 'Can you see our fallen comrades' Moblit is standing in the background.

Faiza

I just love how happy Oak looks at the end of the episode.

Cinderkit5

I felt the same way when I first watched this episode. I don't understand why they can't do half and half, but it probably won't work and they need to give it the full dose. It just makes sense to give it to Armin because he still has a dream, is young, and he's just like Erwin but even better.

Arudorin

Ugh these last 3 episodes were insane 😖 call me selfish but I really still believe Erwin should’ve gotten the serum. I understand why it had to be Armin (love him too, both are amazing strategists) but it just sucks to see your favorite character go 😭 it’s why I stopped watching Walking Dead with what happened to Glenn but yeah it was such a tough decision. This is why I love AoT, it’s such a great story! Great reaction ❤️

Gigi

the anticipation for the next few episodes... AH! see you next week guys :D

Lu

Don't know about anyone else but for me personally I always feel so bad for Bertholdt, it's always hard for me to watch. Anyways killer reaction guys, really enjoyed it!

I'm Batman

Ngl it was kinda disturbing seeing them cheer when Armin ate Berthold as he screamed for help 😭

Pocketsleuth

Great episode and great reaction! Thank you for granting us another trilogy :D I remember how divided the community was on who should have gotten the serum back when the episode came out (wasn´t nearly up to date with the manga yet, but I´m sure it happened when the corresponding chapter came out too). I absolutely loved when you recognised the scene with the fight Levi had with Eren and Mikasa! This time having the context but not yet knowing the outcome! :D This is why I was one of the people who wished for you to watch the after credit scene :D But holy shit! I AM SO FUCKIN STOKED FOR YOU TO WATCH THE LAST FEW EPISODES OF THE SEASON! AAAHHHHH!!!! THis shit is gonna be so exciting for me to see how you gonna react and what you´ll think! I hope you will have a lenghty end of season talk about what the fuck you were shown! X) I´m having lots of fun rewatching Attack on Titan with ya, and it seems ya´ll are having plenty of fun watching the show too, so here is to more of that! Cheers! <3

AbraxasBelzebub

Now that it pass. If you pay attention to intro you can see the foreshadowing in Armin getting the colossal. In the frame that they put their faces.

Marbelis

Alright, for the next 3 episodes after this, I highly recommend you guys after finishing the next 3 episodes, to rewatch some scenes in the discussion if you need to. I know that most ppl don’t fully understand watching those episodes. Bc the next few episodes are very important to the overall story. So pls make sure if you think you didn’t understand something, definitely rewatch some of the scenes during the discussion and pause to read everything.

Kiki Varas

I love season 3, and many people including myself think season 4 is even better. So you are in for a ride, can`t wait.

Jonas Teigen

So now that we're here and to piggyback off Mason's comment. You're not wrong. lol this is the end of the show in a weird sense. I'm not spoiling. Just know from this point forward. This will be a completely different show. You will understand what I mean. But this episode was definitely an end to a very very very long story and going forward, what they find in the basement will just blow your minds.

Julio Salazar

What a ride! this 3 episodes felt like a movie, cant wait to see your reaction to the 4 left episodes, a lot of information and your minds will blow

eren llega

Remember to watch the scene after the credits in ep 19

Dragi

I know where you are coming from, but we don't know. Maybe he would have find another reason. Just because Erwin dind't has a goal after finding the basement doesn't mean he would have lost motivation to fight. Actually I think especially because of whats coming in season 4 Erwin would have been the better choice (but that is a lot of what ifs) I think you are right. Armin was a very good deciscion and the reasoning for choosing him was also good. It makes sense. But it would have made a lot of sense to choose Erwin either. And I think at the end, that's why the whole thing is so gut wrenching. It's not a clear answer and that is great, cause becaue of that, it feels more real. At least for me.

congeries

Yess, good comment

Dragi

Just wanted to say, for the remaining episodes in Season 3, generally reactors need to pause a lot to read the dialogue in certain scenes. I know you guys don’t do that to keep run times synced, so please don’t be afraid to go back after the episode to really clarify anything that went by too quickly during the episode to fully catch. Awesome reactions as always 🔥

Kevin

I'm not sure you guys fully understand the way the titan serum works. Erwin couldn't have just used it on himself whenever he wanted, and Levi couldn't have just used it on himself to become an uber-powerful titan. It doesn't turn the user immediately into an intelligent titan that can then return to human form. It turns them into a regular "pure" titan, one of the mindless ones that just wander around and try to eat the nearest human. They then have to eat a person who already has the ability to turn into a titan, like Eren, Reiner, Berthold, or Zeke, and gain their power. That's the only way for a regular titan to become a human/titan shifter. That's why before using it, they have to make sure they have a current titan shifter disabled and immobile, so that they can clear the area and let the immobile shifter be the nearest target for the serum user. I don't think that took away from your reactions at all, but I think it'll add more context for the earlier moments where you were suggesting one of them takes the serum - love the reactions as always!

So glad you guys are dropping 3 episode this is officially the highlight of the week <3

I hate and love this episode. I always thought Levi wanted to give the serum to Erwin for selfish reasons and so was Eren. They just wanted to save those who are personally closest to them and tried to justify it with "logical" reasons. And Levi giving it to Armin at the end was his own act of mercy for Erwin, so he didn't have to be a slave to his dream anymore.

Butthats

It’s not as obvious, but the main reason levi chose Armin was because unlike Erwin, his dreams didn’t stop at one destination. Lets say they did choose Erwin, once they reached the basement and Erwin got his answers, his main reason for fighting has just been achieved. Erwin would then be left with no motivation, no goal, and his character kind of falls apart. On the other hand, Armin’s dreams aren’t tied down to one thing. He wants to see the sea, after that he wants to see more of the world. His dreams and hopes are infinite unlike Erwin. Also, Erwin dying before reaching his goal is such a good ending to his character. Thru out the show we see him as kind of selfish, sacrificing everyone for that one dream, yet he was able to let it go for the victory finally bring the real sacrificial leader he needed to be. Personally, I loved Erwin and wished he stayed, but the reasoning for choosing Armin makes more sense especially when you consider what is to come in season 4.

we were spoiled with 3 episodes again THANK YOU BADD MEDICINE 🙏🏼 amazing reactions

I can’t believe that they still haven’t figured out how titans work.

It is my personal opinion. I think Levi's reasoning was as much subjective as Eren's, because Erwin is close friend to Levi, like Armin to Eren. Writers specifically inserted the flashback with Kenny, about drive. Erwin's drive is guilt. He blames himself for the death of his father. And by searching the answers about titans he tries to prove that at least he and his dad were right, and therefore somehow amend his death. But what will he do after that? When he reaches his dream will he remain the same Commander Erwin?

Artem Dmytrenko

It is very horrible. Especially when he cries out for Reiner and Annie. I feel you

It's such a hard decision. You can only lose. But I personally think Erwin would be the better choice. For some reasons I can't say because of spoilers but also because yes, Armin is very, very smart and has his life ahead of him. But Erwin is alos very, very smart and on top of that, he has the expierence Armin lacks with his 15/16 years. Also Erwin is a leader. I love both characters very much, but even after watching the series a dozen times and thinking about it often and talking with other fans ... I still stand by the point. And what people always forget to mention: Sure Armin had lot of good and important ideas, but Erwin did too. His ideas are just not as flashed out (The rong range scouting formation or how he tricked the whole goverment, just to name two).But he kept the Scouts alive for YEARS. I would pay a lot of money to see a what-if-version where Erwin has the time to teach Armin everything he needs to know. Together they would be unstopable

It's back to 2 episodes moving forward 🤙🤙🤙

The whole talking a lot in a situation where time is of the essence is definitely an anime thing. It can get irritating at times but you learn to get use to it. Attack of Titan actually does it better than most. However, I do think it was appropriate in the given situations. Our heroes are fighting a war with a military disadvantage and a information disadvantage. You now have a tactical nuke in front of you. Do you destroy it? Make it your own? Dissect it? Your decision could lead to the victory or defeat of everyone inside the walls. It's a tough call to make on the spot. ALSO, with season 4 right around the corner, you guys should know that the animation changes next season. After years of working on AoT, the previous studio wanted to move on to other projects so season 4 is animated by a different studio. Things will look a bit different in season 4. I'm sure someone else will explain it in more detail next week.

Would've been great to see their reaction to the title instead, but thanks for letting them know ahead of time :DDDD

VERTICILE

The moment Erwin said "Thank you" to Levi that was it.

Renteezy

Erens more so the embodiment of freedom. And knowledge goes to hange

BOO

Gosh this was emotional, only gets better which is great. Are we getting 3 episodes per week now???

Bruce WayneValley

Rip Commander Erwin. You were a real one 🫡

Lovisa🍭

It's really incredible how this episode is almost entirely dialogue with no music, action, or reveals. It's pure drama in this one and the only reason it works is because the writing has been so dedicated to fleshing out these characters and making loss actually mean something in the story. You're on the edge of your seat while these characters go through a range of emotions and arguments in this impossible situation and it's like they're fighting in your living room, right in front of you. I can't really think of another animated show that immerses the audience in a single moment as well at AoT does.

Catherine Randall

theres an end credit scene in episode 19. please make sure to watch cause its really important

Peeker

i actually cry alot, and still do, when bert dies

Peeker

the guy who saved hange is actually her assistant Moblit. you actually see him all the time next to hange. he really was loyal until the end

Peeker

next episode has important post-credit scene, important stuff :)

Much safer to leave humanity in the hands of Armin, the embodiment of innate human curiosity and desire for exploration, versus Erwin, the embodiment of humanity's will and drive to fight for knowledge and revenge. A subtle but significant difference in their characters. Also, think about Armin's dream to see the sea-it's not about power, or being right, or revenge. Armin has always saw possibility. Always looked to the horizon beyond the walls. Dreams on immense scale. His dream would drive him post basement. Which threw Erwins struggle into sharp focuss. Armin reaches beyond truth into possibility. Armins idealism can not be valued enough. One of my favourite moments in AOT is when Eren transforms in front of Armin and Mikasa to save them from the canon, and they're in a horrifying decaying Titan skeleton but what Armin notices in the moment is a... flower.

Pathetic_Effort

I'm sure you guys noticed but my interpretation of Levi's decision. He too noted what Kenny said being so drunk to keep on going. He realized that 99% of Erwin's drive and leadership is solely on discovering the world's secrets. So it's not 100% known if Erwin would still be that capable leader and rightful owner of a titan. Meanwhile Armin's drive is unrelated to the secret's of the world or the basement, it's exploring the sea and the world involved. Armin's intellect is just as good as Erwin with a more guaranteed chance of maintaining his leadership talents.

Kevin Zapata

Let's fuckinngggg goooo. fun fact this part was running along with game of thrones final season, it was very embarrassing for someone like me who loves both shows and I believe for the most of us.

sami
