| Well that is not what I was expecting. One question solved, but now I have so many others. |
| WE MADE IT I was actually getting pretty disinterested with reading this every month but now I'm invested again |
| Reminds me of the movie : The Village It was a really shitty movie. Probably the manga was inspired from there? Basically a Village on a private land, a huge park that is, filled with trees and in the middle is a small village. All villagers live the secluded not knowing much about the outside anymore ... Well it's a crappy movie,better just read the summary of it if you are interested. |

When Eren said the key didnt work, i was like But Motherfucking Levi saved the day with his foot of justice! Great twist all and all, my heart was thumping the whole time. Cant wait for next month |
 The peasant is bound by the king. The king is bound by the peasants and their kingdom. But the Viking is bound to nothing but themselves. |
| We finally opened the basement , lol that part about key. the little kid is he Eren father? |
 |
Thescaleanime said: Levi was having none of that shit. He's like outta my way I'm getting in that dam basement.Was I the only one who thought about nisekoi when the key didn't work at first and thought the author was like "f*** this sh*t" |
| OMG FINALLY THE FREAKING BASEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!! its just like what i expected probably most of us predicted this much but its the revelation that's makes everything exciting, poor them i really felt bad when they saw the photograph thinking its a portrait :( same with the coffee mugs in the several previous chapters they didn't know what it was the kid in the picture might be Grisha not Zeke and those are Eren's grandparents, it also could be Zeke since he said " father " more than once in the previous chapters so here's my theory, what if the people inside the walls are the ones who's responsible for the failed experiment that created the titans and the people of the village are the survivals from the disaster you know just like in Noah's Ark they fled in a ship leaving their country behind and went to another one.. maybe the land they are living in is actually an island so the titans can't get out of it assuming they can't swim? i dunno really there's so much possibilities ahhh can't wait for more details!!! xD |
| the 2nd season is coming this 2017 right? I wonder how the season 2 will end. If the final episode will end here, people will go crazy lmao. Season 2 will be like this: battle at the castle (forgot the name) clash of the titans battle with kenny (the political arc or whatever its called) then this current arc episode 25's final scene will be them getting in the basement but idk how will they end it. The part I'm hyped for is Levi vs the beast titan, can't wait for that getting animated lol but that'll be in ep.20+ |
| So, is Eren in the future?! Remember the first chapter? "To You, 2000 Years From Now" |
| So that's what happen when you go to the fucking basement... the plot gets cool again. |

ClavisM said: Not sure if coincidence or not with that meme. If you switch the years to months. It's literally been 84 months and Chapter 85 we're here :) Finally it's been so long. Only 9 of them left, hopefully that's all it takes to overthrow the titans. A bit farfetched, but who knows what Isayama will throw into the mix yet. It's starting to get even more interesting. |

That key though-such a troll!XD Originality is a myth these days, so I don't think you can judge the series from a twist that you've seen done several times before, it's how the twist was executed and what Isayama will do with the story here on now, that should be the exciting part. Yep! Let's see!:3 |
 |
| As I was reading I was like... they will stop before they actually show the **** basement! Well I was wrong! But as well as I am curious to see the rest... I am a little disapointed, as the '' in fact there is moderne society over the wall" thing is really overused!! Maze runner and Divergence just popped in my mind the second I read this. Not the most original plot twist there is. But well, still a lot of questions to unanswered so we'll see how it goes. |
| It would have been pretty funny if the whole story ended at "This key...doesn't open this door." |
| The hype is real!!! My theory is that there was something like a civil war between the outsiders (which includes RBA's people) and another faction, and the outsiders used the titans to get rid of their enemies. The enemies were forced to retreat behind the walls and live there. Ymir's people were one of the factions who lost and that's why Ymir was turned into a titan. The Reiss family was probably the pawn of the outsiders all along, their job was to brainwash the citizens and maintain the status quo. Grisha was probably a spy sent by the outsiders but he chose to help the "walled" people instead. I wouldn't be surprised if the theory that the titans were created by humans in an experiment becomes canon. The theory that there is a much more advanced civilization living out there has been made many times in the past years. |
| Finally the basement. Now time to reveal everything. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| Finally the basement. I was losing interest in this manga during this arc. PLOTARMORREINER was making the story lose quality, and the fights were pretty boring. Now, it's time to see some bombs Isayama has to throw at us |
 |
| oh man, my eyes got teary that they actually got to the basement after all this time. ...Part of me kept thinking that throughout the buildup of the book opening it would be funny if there really wasn't anything important there though I really thought the key was useless for a minute there lol! That would have been such a troll. Damn. This chapter was fantastic with all the buildup and tension though. Hearing the words from the first chapter in while they were walking there, really hit me harder. |

| When I think the content of basement is a full documentation (like a photo or something) about outside of the wall, for example, the photo of the sea. But I'm a bit not sure how they take a photo. But... In the end, it turned out a photo of family :D A MYSTERY. |
Azula_Kuo said: true.. i too do think grisha was the creator of titans.. but i don't think he knew how to defeat them.. well the question is why did he created the titans(if he is the one who did it).. and who really is zeke.. is he the child in the photograph? i think yes .. aahhh! this too nerve wrecking.. can't wait for the next chapter...So humanity isn't extinct outside the walls. That was predictable because we saw many hints. For example Ymir and Reiner saw that can in the castle. And I also had a theory that the story doesn't take place in the 9th century because of: Potatoes. We all know the Potato girl aka Sasha Blouse. She loves potatoes. But where do they come from? When Columbus discovered America he also found out about potatoes. Potatoes originally come from America and they were introduced in Europe in the last half of the 16th century. So does the story take place in America? Well we've seen many European styled houses and castles so the answer is no. This proves that there was something wrong with the "time". In this chapter we got a confirmation of this. The photograph was invented during the 1830's. And Grisha Jaeger wrote that humanity isn't extinct outside the walls and that people are living a harmonious life. So my theory is that The Maze Runner and Singeki No Kyojin/Attack on Titan have a lot in common. The main character of The Maze Runner came into The Maze with no memory. He only remembered a girl(forgot the name) telling him to not worry and that everything will be fine and etc. Any similarity? Remember that dream Eren had in the first chapter? A girl that looked like Mikasa said "See you later Eren." If you look at the picture you see Grisha, a woman(probably his first wife) and a kid. I think many people think that this kid is Zeke. And there is a big chance that's true because Zeke even said that Grisha "brainwashed" them and he looks a lot like Grisha. And if you've seen the live action movie. Eren discovers that he has a half brother in the movie. So let's say Eren and Zeke are half brothers what the movie is telling. What did his brother say in the movie? Scientists were experimenting and discovered how to make Titans. And the scientist who discovered that was none other than Grisha, their father. He knew how to fight the Titans and save humanity but he chose not to. But why? That's the question. And at the of the movie Eren and Mikasa were standing on top of Wall Maria and could see a more advanced world outside the Walls. So the movie is for a big part canon. |
| As expected...Armin is understandably Shocked....and Felling most likely sick..and FOr good Reason....Who would not feel sick when they would wake in situation like this. LOL!!! SASHA!!! XD Loved that "Shut Up" XD BASEMENT!!! FINALLY!!!! It better be worth these Sacrifices!!! ...:Waaaait.....Nonoononononono....Author better not do this.... WTF!!!!??? O_O.............Experiment? WAS THIS A F***KING EXPERIMENT!? Or Dr. Yeager was from Parallel Universe!? WHAT THE 1000 HELL' IS GOING ON HERE!!! |

| Looks like a Divergent/Maze runner type theme. Interesting chapter, wondering if it'll follow that route or take a different one. |
| Eren: Oopsie, this is not the right key! Tehe Me: OH DON'T! DON'T.YOU.DARE! Levi: *kicks the freaking door* Me: *hallelujah music plays* I totally screamed here. I thought they would have to discover what the key would open if it was not the basement D: So, there still humans out there and they have progressed a lot more. But, why? There is no titans there? What is happening in the world? Now I'm hyped again *-* |

| How interesting. Mind blown! So does this mean that the walls are basically a safe haven for humans who have been placed there by other humans centuries ago and the titans ... Hmm I'm not even sure what im typing lol It was aliens and the Titans were brought to earth to see how we would react. The wall was out safe zone. It's all a science test by ET. That or Its a bit like the village where the elders used Titans asa means of keeping their people away from humanity and they died while Titans remained and civilisation took on its on legends and myths, fiction became fact. Is this all on an island somewhere with the walls in the centre? Is there another 4th wall way out beyond keeping Titans inside. I await the day AOT breaks that 4th wall and its revealed were reading it from within Wall Sina or something. Meta! |
| Ooooooooooh yessss. Of course, we all expected it but damn Isayama executed everything wonderfully. The arc is also getting prettier and prettier. Ohh the emotions. The most plausible theory is indeed those inside the walls did a grave mistake and is being punished by it, or perhaps they're just baits, or an experimental rat. Otherwise how could it last for generations, with such a deliberate system to keep everything bottled up. Poor Bert though. I mean, poor RBA. Really we have NEVER heard anything said from their perspective. If only there was a chance for some truth and civil discussion.... Hmm, but perhaps truth will be worse.... Very excited for the next one. |
AkiKitazawa said: The studio never said anything about there not being enough arcs. Season 1 did it with 33 chapters with the Trost and Female Titan arc. Season 2 has 37 chapters to work with. Clash of Titan arc and Uprising arc. They postponed it mostly due to most of the staff working on Kabaneri. Not because they needed more arcs since they had enough material since late last year for a 2-cour season.megakruemel said: Can some crazy person tell us how long it actually took the series to get to this point, from first mentioning it to now? Not Chapters- actual time, like in months. Grisha first mentioned the basement in chapter 1, so yeah, it's been 7 years. sim0n2170 said: Season 2 will most likely end on Chapter 70. Doubtful. It's been 15 months since then. They wouldn't postpone it for so long. I also remember the studio said that those weren't enough arcs to be animated into a full season? |
| I'm on the side saying that the key was kinda useless. Yes it didn't open the door and Levi kicked it open (which was the best part of the chapter) but with that logic then the key isn't needed to open a wooden desk. The only thing I can justify the key for is it as a physical reminder that the basement exists and it needs to be explored. But seriously, Levi has been though a lot of shit in the recent volume so him kicking the door open must of felt goddamn satisfying. |
 |
| Well he's set up the next chapter well, let's see if he can deliver. I really hope the story he goes for isn't something basic like inside the walls is experimentation etc etc, if he does that he'll have to come up with something amazing. These next chapters will make or break this series tbh, as it's good but still hasn't reached the level of great. |
| CONGRATS PEOPLE WE MADE IT TO THE BASEMENT!!!! I really like how they harped on the hardships they'll face without Erwin since it seems more realistic that they'd feel that way rather than just rejoice over Armin. Overall, this was a freaking good chapter with a lot of character insight as well as actual plot advancement. BUT lol rip literally everyone in the Survey Corps besides our immortal squad. |

| M-m-M-M MIND BLOOOWWNNN!!!! |
ONWARDS! Away from homework and on to more anime!!! |
| Great chapter. Glad they finally made it there, and I did suspect that there was more to humanity than just those who lived inside the Walls. Will be nice to get some more questions answered in the next chapter. Can't wait! |
  |
| I love the part where Sasha scolded everyone and Levi fucking kicked the basement's door like the bitch he is. I wonder who are the people in the photograph |
