[Manga Spoilers] It seems like the Uprising arc will be completely skipped!

Okay, but it would be dumb to skip it?
The Uprising Arc has so much information in it especially about titans and their connection to Historia's family. I'd be hella disappointed if they pulled this off. It's one of my favorite arcs.

But that arc has so much vital information in it. We even get a glimpse into levis life .With him being one of Aots popular characters i doubt they would wanna skip that

a big part of the fandom seems to think this arc is boring!

You have just no single idea of what in the world you're talking about.

TheGoldenCatch said:


idk man, it really seems strange that they would not have Historia show up in any of the scenes towards the last 3rd of the episode. Maybe she is not there because she is already sitting on the throne and they skipped the uprising arc!

Also I don't think WIT studio is going to be able to make 2 high quality 2-cour shows in a row.

It all just doesn't add up!

That doesn't mean anything. It might be a hint for Return to Shiganshina, just as Zeke coming out of the Beast Titan, but that doesn't mean that they'll skip the Uprising arc. And why wouldn't they be able to make two high quality 2-cour shows in a row? The production of Magus is ahead with 12 episodes before airing, so it seems like it'll get finished in December, not in March. And not only that, Araki has said in interviews that they're going to make the anime adaption as close to the manga as possible. Plus, they showed the volume covers in the S3 trailer, starting from volume 13 where S2 ends and where the Uprising Arc begins. Your proof for the Uprising Arc being skipped are just laughable, and using exclamation marks like that is a sign of someone who not should be taken seriously.

TheGoldenCatch said:

Do you have links to the interviews in which he said that? Because if he said that then that's great news because I wouldn't want them to butcher the adaptation.

This 'announcement' video made it look like season 3 is skipping the uprising arc due to the last scene where they look towards the ocean.

They're totally doing the Uprising arc. I dunno if it's gonna be 2 cour or split cour, leaning towards 2 cour, but here's the thing: If they wanted to skip the Uprising arc, changes would've already started this season to make it possible. Without the Uprising, all of the Wall cult+the survey corps being on thin ice setup is pointless. Without it, you can't explain the support they have leaving towards Shiganshina (suddenly they have tons of people when we clearly saw how few actually stay), how they've made enough technological advancements to make it possible (the crystals from the cave used as lamps, anyone?). A lot of revelations and development are gone. The whole Eren being able to use the hardening ability now? Totally out of nowhere. Levi's choice from 84, and how he even has that syringe? How do you explain that?

A lot of rewrites would've had to begin this season to possibly do it, and they DID have 4 years to plan out something like that. They didn't. Yeah, they used a variant of the ending of chapter 70 to close season 2, but that's to create more hype. As it stands, nothing from chapter 51 could've served that well as one hell of a cliffhanger like the wall Titan, and it helps them indicate how far they're planning to go.

So yeah. Uprising is definitely happening. It's a major game changer that makes Return to Shiganshina even possible, and as Metal Ice said, the production of Magus is way ahead (gotta take great care of that one), so they can totally pull off 2 cour.
