Review en ESP/ENG

Good episode, poor Mikasa's world fell apart but she has to keep fighting like Eren wanted. The abnormal titan can help a lot, he even knows how to fight because of the combat position he made, if they don't kill him

Buen episodio, Pobre mikasa se le vino el mundo abajo pero tiene que seguir luchando como Eren queria. el titan anormal puede ayudar bastante hasta sabe como pelear por la posicion de combate que hizo, si es que no lo matan

I do like the action sequence with Misaka until the plot Armour magic and to be honest I think is best to keep Eran's one dimensional edgy attitude at bay.

Damn, another episode of intenseness heh. Pretty clear that the titan who protected Mikasa was Eren judging from the titan's hair.

**Attack on Titan – Season 1, Episode 7: “The Small Blade” Review**

Season 1, Episode 7 of *Attack on Titan* is an electrifying rollercoaster of chaos, despair, and unexpected hope. This episode throws viewers headfirst into the turmoil of humanity's desperate stand against the Titans, blending action, emotional intensity, and shocking revelations.

The episode opens with a tense atmosphere surrounding the gas supply depot HQ. Captain Verman's decision to leave the HQ to organize reinforcements is met with suspicion from others, who speculate that he might be retreating to the safety of the inner walls. This moment encapsulates the pervasive distrust and fear among the ranks, illustrating how the dire situation breeds paranoia.

As the building becomes encircled by Titans, the situation escalates dramatically. The harrowing scene where a soldier takes his own life rather than face the Titans serves as a stark reminder of the overwhelming fear and desperation gripping everyone. It's a powerful, haunting moment that heightens the sense of dread and sets the stage for the rest of the episode.

Connie and Sasha’s eagerness to assist at the HQ, despite others' belief that it is a lost cause, showcases their bravery and determination. Their willingness to act, even when faced with what seems like inevitable doom, contrasts sharply with the pervasive sense of hopelessness.

In a poignant subplot, Mikasa finds Armin in a state of despair. His revelation about Eren’s fate leaves everyone stunned, marking a crucial turning point in the episode. This shock serves as a catalyst for Mikasa, propelling her into action.

Mikasa’s relentless drive to fight and protect shines through as she battles Titans on her way to the HQ. Her inspiring resolve manages to ignite a flicker of courage in others. However, her struggle becomes even more intense when she runs out of gas for her ODM gear, leaving her vulnerable and facing the grim prospect of death.

The scene in the alleyway, where Mikasa is cornered by a Titan, is filled with edge-of-your-seat suspense. Just as she seems resigned to her fate, another Titan appears, attacking her aggressor in a surprising turn of events. This “friendly Titan” displays an extraordinary, almost sentient rage as it tears apart the attacking Titan, leaving viewers questioning its origin and motives.

Armin’s timely arrival, bringing Mikasa to safety and offering her his remaining ODM gas, adds a layer of camaraderie and hope. The sight of the new Titan fighting alongside humans gives Mikasa a renewed sense of purpose and inspiration, symbolizing the faint glimmer of hope amid despair.

The episode concludes with a dramatic display of the mysterious Titan’s combat prowess, as Armin and Mikasa watch in awe. The Titan’s unexpected intervention and brutal efficiency against the attacking Titans are both exhilarating and mystifying.

Overall, this episode is a whirlwind of emotions and action. The narrative oscillates between despair and hope, showcasing the characters' resilience and the unpredictable nature of the Titans. The introduction of the enigmatic “friendly Titan” adds a compelling new element to the story, leaving viewers eager to unravel its secrets. Despite the rapid pace and overwhelming moments, Episode 7 is a stellar example of *Attack on Titan*’s ability to blend intense drama with thrilling action.

Rating: 5/5
