Rod Reiss' titan transformation is huge, but pretty ugly. The way it moved along the ground was almost like a bug. It was really creepy.

On the plus side, I'm not surprised that Rod's titan was CGI'd. It looked pretty good this time and is an improvement on S2's colossal titan CGI animation-wise. A few people won't like it, of course, but drawing something that huge constantly would be very time-consuming for Wit Studio.

Eren's use of the armour power was really impressive. He's a crybaby, for sure, but he did an excellent job in keeping himself and the rest of the squad alive. =)

The next episode looks pretty hype, though, with the upcoming battle to stop Rod's titan from destroying the Orvud District. This will be one thrilling fight. =D

CGI didn't exactly bother me but..... god damn it. I hope its only for this episode, if they're gonna keep Titan Rodd as CGI that will be terrible. It doesn't look that good.

Yeah I thought he looked like a worm, might be on purpose in some shots.

Overall it was a decent episode, CGI didn't seem too bad in my opinion compared to other episodes. When the camera was panning out to show the countryside I thought it blended in pretty well.

It's just annoying that every episode is going to be cliffhanger after cliffhanger, but oh well this arcs a big one it seems.

They sure made this take too much time. It's like going back to S1 when they artificially extended scenes making them empty.
At least this will end next chapter, I don't dislike this arc, but I wanted it to be shorter so they could put the flashback from the basement in this season.

About the CGI, it was way worse than the colossal of S2, the problem is that we came after watching a good colossal in S1, so it left a worse impression in us while this one was expected.

I really don't like Eren too much this season, there are so many people who are trying their best to save you so don't cry all the time how you wanna get eaten by that shithead...
That armor bottle really was lying a bit in the open there without much explanation, wonder how they even make these things. Also Rod Reiss' titan form is hella weird. Wonder how they'll stop it though, I assume Eren will play a big part in it.
Overall this episode feel a bit lackluster, but probably just because the two episodes before were just so damn good :3

The CGI smoke was bothering me more than the actual Titan itself.. Just what the hell, I would say it moves more like a worm/caterpillar than a Titan XD

Overall really good episode, however... Eren being a crybaby was working on my nerves. Everyone did their best to save you and you give them that in return. Just a little pathetic if you ask me. He did make it right in the end by using that armour bottle to save the others!

Quick question ...
Where is that liquid came from Eren ate before he transformed into hardened titan ?
How did he know it is harden liquid and how did they get him out so quickly from the titan if it is hardened. I think Annie is still in that hardened cube or whatever.

It came from rod bag, the same bag that Hidtoria toom up last chapter that she took the key out of to rescue Eren, it even show them falling out of his bag, there is a label that says armor on it.

I'm trying to figure out if the anime did a poor job in making that obvious or its the audience simple not paying attention.

Don't takw it personal, because I'm seeing other persons asking that same question, so I'm wondering maybe the anime could make it a bit more obvious it came from rod bag.

Pretty impressive animation, they finally got eren back and he finally got into action.

Great episode again.

It was nice to see everyone supporting Eren to get him back on track.
Someone needs to explain this titan hardening to me. I don't seen to recall this mentioned before nor do I remember Eren trying to train to use it. I thought it was a power unique to the Amored Titan. What was that armor bottle even doing there? Who brought it?

Rod Reiss's titan is so damn huge, I'd call him a huge centipede over a titan though because of the way he was moving. xD
The CGI wasn't all that bad, it was way better than Colossal's CGI we had last season.

So Eren's Dad was basically trying to eliminate the Reiss bloodline in the hopes that someone else can learn to control the power's of the Founding Titan in which case the First King's brainwashing wouldn't have effect?

It'd be cool to see Historia as the queen, she doesn't seem to be against doing it so I'm interested in how that's gonna play out but I guess dealing with Rod Reiss comes first.

The bottle fell from rod reiss bag while historia was holding it
It's the bottle containing it
It gives hardening ability
Eren father was supposed to add the hardening serum with the injection but didn't

Also, is this the same "Armor" as Annie's? Sure hope Annie comes back to do something. So much has been going on, the series hasn't really had time to address whatever is going on with her.

The CGI was far from bad. It was definitelly nothing like the Colossal titan from last season. The pace is starting to be back to normal. Overall the story is getting better and more interesting. I just hope they explain how that armor bottle got there out of nowhere, because that was a little too convenient
My guess for why that bottle was there is, that it came from that bag historia or kenny carried up there, and it fell out. But yeah, really does seem way to convenient.
Actually, if you think about it, Rod wanted to give Historia that armor bottle after she eats Eren, so, i don't think it was too convenient since everything was in the bag (keys, serum, armor and other bottles we don't know about)

Same, perhaps they want to try something new and push beyond the boundaries. In the end, the eps still continues, I still put my hope high on the next arc. I could see this season is different compared the last two. We could see some different background of fighting, like the crystal fight, and not only in "the forest or residence". So despite on some ppl disappointment, I'm sure wit studio gonna surprise us in the upcoming scenes.

Again from Reiss bag. I feel like a broken record at this point. Dont take it personal by the way.

At first, it is nice that Eren is back, for sure he had his reasons to got his mind perturbed, but i was really bored seing Eren crying that much! And im glad to see that exist intelligent people like Historia and Armin, to stop stupid thinks that come from Eren's crying mind!

Dont understimate Reiss family powers, how can he tranforming into a titan 2x greater than Colossal titan? He really looks like a worm, maybe he isnt used to it, is his first time in titan form (i think). I wonder where Rod Reiss is going and what he is after!

Well done Eren for saving everyone using hardening ability, didnt expect him to do that, maybe the bottle with armored glass helped him, but we could see that Eren can now close the wall! Btw, good statue he have created!

And maybe Eren's father isnt bad guy at all, what he did was too cruel for sure, but he had to have a reason for what he did, finaly we are close to see what is inside the basement with the key left by Eren's father.

And what? Historia is going to be the queen? (Best Girl will be a perfect queen for sure!) I am curious to see what will happen after they lead with Rod Reiss titan!

Mikasa and Historia moment was really funny!

Mikasa is talking about Levi, for sure!

A great episode , as always! Hyped to see more!

Very interesting. Rod got transformed into a titan, what a giant titan is that, he looks lika a caterpillar. Eren's determination is showed up and saved them from the ruins. It's been a while since we have seen a titan. I genuinely knew that Erwin's decision was going to be not to evacuate, I don't know what kind of plan he has but surely is a smart one.

I would have just cut his hands and feet off and been like, "Quit your bitching, Eren, you’ll just grow them back later."

I don’t see the need for crystal to plug the wall, when they could have just made doors again, then have titan Eren install the doors. Or just have Eren command the titans to construct and install the doors. Perfect slave labor.

Speaking of commanding titans, why didn’t Eren transform and just scream at Rod and telling him to stop, or kill himself?

Also, why does Historia have to be queen? Just pick some rando and call him king. The people were mind fucked into thinking king Whathisface was the real king and that the Reiss family wasn’t. It doesn’t make one difference who you say is actually king since they have no clue what so ever.
What do you think Coup d'etat was for? It was because thr old government was lying to people and putting a random person as a king while they rule in the shadows, So, putting a random person in the crown, and telling people that they are the true ruler, would be considered as lying to people, which would mean that they are doing exactly what the old government did. Please stop being stupid !!

As Start700 said, it's been a long time since we've seen a titan xD I totally forgot about that haha
Historia is the best girl!

Damn, i wasn't expecting this for sure, i thought they would fight and Eren would win easily...but this, wow! That thing is huge! I guess it explains why they had to put that liquid inside the body with a syringe, because otherwise the transformation will fail (i guess), and this is what happened because he isn't even a complete titan. But it's scary, i wonder how tall he would be in different circumstances.

With Levi around the crying Eren goes away xD

I knew there was something else related to Eren's father and why he did that, he did that to save everyone, and i was actually quite surprised that Historia was the first to realize that, gotta love her.

The action hasn't stopped since the beginning, and in the last episodes, it was crazy! Can't wait to see how all of this will end.
Wonder how they will stop him, next episode will be epic!

P.S As always, epic episode! 10/10

Where will he find a big ass rock like that again? You are missing the point here they want to reach the basement as soon as possible here.

Your problem is that you always over think things.

The first wall broke like, what, four years ago? They could have had it filled by now with little rocks. If they don’t have rocks, then what do they repair the wall with?


They plan to use titan's crystal power just like how the walls were first made (apparently). The Ape titan is still around and he doesn't seem like the kind of dude that'll just let them plug up the hole. He can climb walls easily so staying up in the walls is not an option. No reason for humanity not to have tried it but with the ape titan around there's no way it would work..

@keragamming with the coup d'etat, everything happened in one room in one episode, I dont understand, did they take over the whole government and now have control over everyone inside the walls or just one city? That just feels lazy and way too easy idk, I think I just feel like the subplots dont connect well with the main plot but I still enjoy it overall, just not as intense anymore

They basically got rid of the people who had most control in the whole island. They do mention that the landlords might not give in to their demands, but at least the previous government has been exposed. Keep in mind that power itself lies in the military, who during the coup realized they had been lied the entire time thus switched sides. Now the problem is the population, who won't accept just any ruler.

they can't do that because they have f*cking titans all over the place , how they are supposed to go with a large rock or doors or whatever with hundreds of titans around
there plan was to go at night while the titans are not active and make eren plug the hole , here they don't need equipment or anything , they will just go , now you get it ?


You do realize Titans cannot touch them at the top of the wall, and four years ago Eren couldn’t transform. It would be the easiest option. Pull train up, press dump button, go back around to get another load.

Probably because people were trying to kill them. IE: Eren’s father.

If ape titan’s goal was letting other titans in, he would move the rock blocking the hole in the second wall.

I think he did it because they moved against the scouts and he retaliated. The reason he wants the queen is because he fears the people will not tolerate a military dictatorship. Personally, I think he was going to do the coup either way, to gain power and move up.

Pretty decent episode. When Historias father was transforming I thought he was gonna turn out to be this gigantic epic beast...not a gigantic lump of meat with legs...

I’m expecting the next episode to be this crazy gang up on that big titan with Mikasa and Levi being badass and all the scouts and Eren tearing him up. Hopefully we won’t be disappointed heh
