While this episode was nice it wasn't perfect, my criticism about it is that Gabi was speaking with Falco for like a whole minute or 2 while the Blimp was moving, by the time Gabi decided to hop in and go up the Blimp needed to be far ahead but is like the Blimp didn't even move from its position. Also how was she able to climb up while holding a Riffle? Apart from those things (which was a bit iffy) the episode was nice. |

I didn't expect people to hate Gabi over this. She's a child and Sasha got her friends killed. Why WOULDN'T Gabi want revenge? I found Sasha's last lines boring. It's like the author WANTS to drive home the point that he writes one-dimensional characters, just in case we haven't figured that out yet. Liking food is not a personality! Everything else about the episode was great, as always. |

I thought it would be something more meaningful than that but she has all the right from her perspective to do this. Just the fandom throwing a tantrum then. The thing is the perspective she is clinging to is an old one which Willy Tybur completely abolished by him revealing the truth. All she is doing is reacting in denial. Well, the old one was just recently reinforced when she saw a lot of her friends and allies die in the attack from "the devils". Yeah true but the same massacre was seen by Falco but you see he reacts rationally comparatively. They're different characters though, and Falco has his experience with Eren and Reiner in the basement behind the stage. But like Falco tells Gabi that Eren and others are just repaying the debts right ("revenge"). Gabi is infuriated by the fact that Udo was trampled to death by her own people. She is misdirecting her anger cz she doesn't have any other option. Is it really misdirection? I mean he was only trampled b/c people were running away from Eren. It was a result of the attack Eren launched. Just b/c the Eldians of Paradis are justified in hating their attackers does not mean Gabi can't be justified in hating them for attacking her hometown. It's a vicious cycle of hatred. Remember Grisha's words to his father when his sister was killed. Grisha's father: They believed in eugenics and tried to cleanse-- Grisha: Fay and I did nothing like that! What did Zofia and Udo do to deserve being killed? And how can we expect Gabi to believe -- in the moment when her hatred is the strongest -- that the enemy was justified in their attack? It's the nature of conflict, each side will naturally hate one another if they don't attempt to empathize. I completely agree that it is certainly a vicious cycle of hatred. (refer the end for an unpopular opinion) As Gabi explains her emotions in her monologue, she was born in the zone and was mistreated and brainwashed that she was treated that way because she was born an eldian and eldians were evil. But Willy Tybur's speech brought out the real truth. This made her feel conflicted as she came to the realization that all her rage and conviction was directed towards a false non-existent cause. But then Eren attacked, she found a false solace and that got aggravated by the killing of Zofia and Udo. Thus, she continued to live in denial. What she actually wants is to get revenge on the people who made her life miserable. Ig this is an unpopular opinion: Jean made the right decision of not tossing the kids out of the airship. I'll go as far as to say that it was the best decision a leader could have made. I have like 2 solid reasons behind that, one being he says "If we toss kids out of the airship, will the killing ever end?". He wants to end the vicious cycle of killing. Dude, the speech clearly mentions that the Eldians are "devils" after Willy describes the threat of the uprising. Her perspective wasn't entirely lost from the performance. Willy couldn't win the world over to fight with him by claiming that the Eldians of Paradis are actually innocent people. Willy: I want you to join me in the fight against the devils of Paradis Island! You're really making me look into stuff for this huh? lol She obviously did ignore Falco when he mentioned the attack on the walls, but it makes sense that she wouldn't accept that ... just as people are having trouble accepting that their favorite character was killed. Like, do you really not see yourself feeling the same hatred as Gabi given everything she saw? It's okay to dislike Gabi for killing your favorite character btw, but saying it's b/c of massive denial when she's really just ignoring Falco's one line, which could've been an assumption on Falco's part for all she knew, is stretching it. First of all I'm not saying this because she killed Sasha, who's death is clearly being overhyped by the fandom. Of course I understand Gabi's anger. But should I just accept that she is taking revenge by killing two people just cz two of her friends were killed? If it had been any other person in Gabi's place I would have understood it and left it at that. But it's Gabi. Her personality has been a highlight through out this season. She has been shown as the perfect person to inherit the armored titan as she has the strongest resolve. She was even capable of thinking a different approach in the battlefield on spot to save hundreds of eldians of marley from being sacrificed. So when such a character is shown to lash out unreasonably it is tough to accept. But if we discard Gabi's entire character build up and imagine her as just another of the chosen one then ig that will be the normal course of action. I mean it also built up her disillusion that the Paradis Eldians are devils. And it hasn't really shown her as a perfect person. Being eager to prove yourself and having resolve are not the same as being a saint that wouldn't think of revenge. You gotta be trolling me right now man ... 'cause you're jumping from different points to make it sound like her decision didn't make sense. Haha. F it. Either way I feel that the highlight of the episode is Zeke being the mastermind of all this rather then Gabi killing Sasha. Fandom just overhypes everything, XD, Can't wait to see how Gabi's perspective changes when she learns the real truth. "Teki ka? Mikata ka?" |

Everybody be hating on Gabi, but the one I blame for Sasha's death is Eren. Gabi is like the parallel of Eren, so while I don't like that she was the one to kill Sasha, I can't exactly blame her. If Eren had been able to go back and kill titans when he was a kid, this is exactly how he would've behaved. I love this anime so much, because I've never hated a main character as much as I hate Eren now. |

i knew it was coming but oh my god did it hurt, i don't think i've cried this much over a fictional character since fred weasley rest in peace potato queen, thanks for the laughs over the years! sasha is one of the fictional characters i've resonated the most with because not only do we have very similar personalities but i remember around the time i started reading + watching snk i was in a very serious depression and she always made me laugh/smile when she was onscreen. she'll always have a very special place in my heart for that reason ♥️ they did a beautiful job with that scene, from the music to the voice acting. connie's expression and mikasa crying are what broke my heart. reiner come get ur lil bitch ass cousin |

Rest in Peace potato girl, you will be sorely missed.. What a heartbreaking episode.. Isayama why kill Sasha? :( :( The other major part of the episode -for us non manga readers- was the super surprising (and for me still suspect) revelation that Zeke Yeager was working with the Paradis Eldians?!? Since when I wonder, and how on Earth did that happen? And did he really betray Marley or is he a double agent? I mean Zeke is the guy who ratted on his own mother and father, and Eren should know that via the memories of his father. Granted, this happened when he was a child but still, can a guy like that be trusted? I don't get it, did he and Eren have a brotherly bonding moment or something? I was absolutely certain that Zeke in particular had believed in Marley's propaganda hook, line, and sinker so if he really betrayed Marley to say "I was surprised" would be quite an understatement (thank god I had not been spoiled about this..) I am sure Levi does not trust him though, and will keep a close eye on him. This is also probably why he maimed him - both because he hated him and so that he cannot suddenly transform and kill everyone on board. I loved that he told him that he is saving him for last, lol. I wonder if Pieck suspected Zeke as a potential traitor (from at least 3 years ago). She said she kept a close eye on Yelenna because she was close to Zeke. Now that Yelenna betrayed them the suggestion that she did this under orders from Zeke must be quite clear. So Yelenna, unless I'm mistaken, was the sole Marleyan on that ship. I really thought she was Armin at first! |

At that point the manga went downhill XD A shame that it was decided to sacrifice Sasha of all characters, her last word though lol. But that way she doesn't have to experience what is coming next. Seeing it on screen, Gabi is really forced into the story, she is able to enter an airship unnoticed, kills a beloved character and is left alive in the end. |

Overall, there's this feeling of shallowness I'm getting from this show. Maybe it's because I'm fuzzy on character details from previous seasons but I'm not feeling anything when something happens to them. Like for Sasha, she was just memey food girl the whole way through (I remember she had some kind of character building at some point though) so her death didn't have much impact. Her "meat" last word kind of summed up the shallowness of her character. Mikasa is always an Eren-obsessed yandere who charges at anyone who hurts him. Beyond that, she doesn't have a personality to be honest. Again, maybe I need a completely rewatch to get rid of this fuzziness but yeah, not feeling the anime too much when it comes to sympathizing with the characters. |

This was a painful way for everyone to have some common sense ingrained into them in order to understand this is a total war. The look in Eren's face at the end is the realization that he will have to sacrifice even more of his friends. I would say it is a pity, but I read that scene so long ago that the wound has completely healed by now. Anyway, it's a shame Sasha had to die so early and we didn't get to see any of er after the timeskip, though Isayama had her death planned in advance. Do you remember the time when Sasha fought against a Titan using only a bow and an arrow? That was originally the place and time for her death, but the Reap... Isayama decided to let her live a little longer. |

I will never understand how Gabi has fans, or how we are expected to have sympathy for her. She is on the side that started the war, of course people she knew were going to die. She finally had a wake up call in the past few episodes. She may have been brainwashed but she is still completely unlikeable. and she doesn't get any better since she continues to act like this even after learning the truth |

Sasha's death wasn't that impactful to me since I already read in the manga but that “meat” still hit me... That new ost was beautiful. Levi kicking Eren and Armin stopping Mikasa brought back old memories when we knew nothing, miss those days. I don't know what will do after this masterpiece ends... |

This was a saddening episode, we witnessed the loss of one of the least hated characters in the show, seeing Gabi getting beat up after this was obviously satisfying and reminded me of Erens beat up during the court proccess back in S1. I liked how this was animated and paced, MAPPA definitely continues to push the best possible quality of entertaiment their studio is capable of. I see that this season has reached midway point and the score is almost enought to dethrone FMAB from 1# spot, we might see it happen till the next episode. Well all I can say is R.I.P to our beloved potato girl Sasha |

What bugs me the most in this episode is how neglecting our main crew were. Why were there no one staying at the opening door of the zeppelin to look out for their comrade who’s still outside handling the finishing touches & check if there’re any other threats? Why would they leave only 1 guy with the close-out? Shouldn’t you always assign at least 2 ppl to look out for each other? Why would the zeppelin suddenly become so close that Gabi can shoot the dude while in the earlier scene it’s clearly said the she can’t make it due to the long distance? (Yes, she ran towards it, but still…) I won’t even blame them if everyone was on board with all the doors closed and somehow Gabi made a way to sneak in. And why were they celebrating & letting all their guards down when they were still within the territory of their enemies? (Yes, they made some comments like no obvious weapons can damage the zeppelin and such. But still…) I won’t even blame them if they do so when they are outside of Marley. This is war and it is time to have some casualty in our main cast. I don’t have gripes on this regard. But the way all these things putting together to lead to such a death feels very forced and off to me. It’s almost like the author knew he needs to kill off some main characters, but had no idea how to make it more natural. I heard somewhere else years ago that the author intended to kill off Sasha during her fight against that small titan when she went back to her hometown. Guess she can’t escape from her fate. And honestly, I don’t think that Jean should blame Eren for getting Sasha killed. Connie and he were the ones who dragged Sasha away to celebrate when she was watching out at the door. That being said, I still gave this ep a 4/5 cuz I don’t want to deny that there’re also some interesting things happened, such as the reveal of Zeke & his follower (Though probably lots of ppl including me have already guessed that Zeke wouldn’t be so easily taken out.) As for Gabi, I don’t hate her. Most ppl would be pissed off and want to have revenge if they were in her shoes. And it’s unfair to judge her behaviors when we certainly relate much more to our main cast. What if this episode were the very 1st episode of the whole AOT series? If we really want to trace the source, Eldians were the ones who started the war and persecuted all the other countries in the first place. I would say I just dislike Gabi. She was devastated by the loss of her friends & comrades, but couldn’t care less about what their ppl did to their enemies. Then again, she’s just a brat who had been brainwashed for her life. Besides, with that stubborn mind, I don’t expect her to suddenly come to realize all these stuff. Her reactions & behaviors suit her character quite much. I can see her being an example that the character is not likable but well written. |

imbAF said: I am concerned. This episode only covered chapter 105 instead of 105 and 106. If they intend to reach 122, they WILL butcher the story.If they intend only until 119 then we have one of the greatest adaptions at hand I don't think you should be concerned , cause i think the next few ep will mostly be dialogues , no action scenes so mappa will do it's best at adapting it as they did in the previous eps before the declaration of war. |

Been waiting for this episode, RIP potato girl Sasha, not a big fan of her but the feels still hits hard as it did in the manga. Also, welcome to the Gabi hate train, anime only finally figures why she is so hated by the community. From here we can see how propaganda and brainwashing can be very potent and lead to blind justice and circles of revenge. Understanding the flip side is very important. Gabi portrays the former while Falco is able to see both side of the coin after his encounter with Eren and Reiner. Levi and Zeke's rivalry and the sarcasm between them is gold, I hope to see more from them soon. |

Very interesting episode. I'm surprised to see this was a set-up deal between Eren and Zeke. Zeke not being dead made sense cause he's too much of an interesting and mysterious character to go out that quick. But seriously, people are sending death threats to the voice actor of Garie...........for this? Really? This is a great season so far though. Very interesting. Can't wait to see what Eren has planned. He's got so much power now lol. I love seeing him just destroy everyone. |

And honestly, I don’t think that Jean should blame Eren for getting Sasha killed. Connie and he were the ones who dragged Sasha away to celebrate when she was watching out at the door. That being said, I still gave this ep a 4/5 cuz I don’t want to deny that there’re also some interesting things happened, such as the reveal of Zeke & his follower (Though probably lots of ppl including me have already guessed that Zeke wouldn’t be so easily taken out.) As for Gabi, I don’t hate her. Most ppl would be pissed off and want to have revenge if they were in her shoes. And it’s unfair to judge her behaviors when we certainly relate much more to our main cast. What if this episode were the very 1st episode of the whole AOT series? If we really want to trace the source, Eldians were the ones who started the war and persecuted all the other countries in the first place. I would say I just dislike Gabi. She was devastated by the loss of her friends & comrades, but couldn’t care less about what their ppl did to their enemies. Then again, she’s just a brat who had been brainwashed for her life. Besides, with that stubborn mind, I don’t expect her to suddenly come to realize all these stuff. Her reactions & behaviors suit her character quite much. I can see her being an example that the character is not likable but well written. Finally someone with some critical thinking skills. After all the operations that they have gone through, their experience should reflect their actions and emotions, and to think that they would be celebrating while still on enemy lines just took me out of the show. I see the author as someone who could have made a well mature anime but fell into the trap that many others fall in and all they do is cheaply manipulate their audience to elicit a certain emotion. That last scout that stayed behind should have had another look out, the doors should have been closed and Jean should have said something alone the lines of "Don't celebrate/calm down just yet, we are still in enemy territory, keep your guard up". They should have had a moment to look outside those windows and reflect of what happened and the new information they gathered, a chance to look at their enemies, that there were other humans, etc. Instead, they acted like green cubs who just joined the military police. The fact that Falco told Gabi that she wouldn't make the shot because the Zeppelin was already too far, only to turn around to conveniently shoot that last scout was plain idiocy. They should have actually stuck to the first scene of her not making it, it would have been more interesting for her character development. She would have sworn vengeance, steel her resolve and become more prepared to face their new enemy. Instead, because the author has a child's mentality and a quota to fill, he needs this week's shock-value death. |

Where is everybody watching anime now? I usually watch it in gogoanime but it's been moved to a new gogo anime site but I don't see any replies or chats there. The old gogo anime isn't working so I'm at the new site but I see no comments there. Lol |

Rest In Peace Sasha She was just a simple girl, running from the titans and enrolled in the army because there was food, she was a savager who had a single purpose in life: to eat meat and other delicious foods. She was fun to be around, joyful and full of energy and also a 10/10 soldier. I won't blame Găbița for killing her, I was prepared for anyone's death, I mean anyone, war is just as sad as presented here. Also it was not Găbița who killed her, it was war that killed Sasha, this reminded me of Venus Senki when the commander said that speech, it's not officers who kill people, not guns, not even soldiers, it is war that kills people and if someone wants to stop the killing they have to stop the war. It may sound non sense but it looks logical when you watch Venus Senki and it applies here too. Terrible mistakes by the islanders, when you're in enemy territory you pay attention to everything, sure, Lobov was guilty of not killing Găbița for she had a gun, if you have a gun in war you deserve to die, no civilian wears a gun. Now I don't think they should kill the eldian kids, they can torture them and get info, they can be judged after the war and killed then. Very confusing episode as always this season, apparently there was a different plan and Eren blew it, at least they got the Warhammer and they captured Zeke, who looks like a conspirator, I think he changed allegiances once again but why now? why didn't he allied himself with the islanders in Shiganshina, probably next episodes will be flashbacks to let us know what the hell is going on. To note the first victory for the new Empire of Eldia, I'm not even putting this image in a spoiler, it deserves to be seen by all. The lives that were lost were all for this moment and for the liberation of all eldians. About Găbița, she was just angry that the game turned and not in her favor, can't blame her, she just wanted to win the big war and let the world see that eldians are good people not demons. her only mistake is that you don't make the world see you as good as you want by being peaceful, if you want liberty you have to get it with your own hands. I see 100 years of Marley domination destroyed the minds of eldians, basically it's "jaku niku kyou shoku" like Shishio Makoto said, the weak are meat to eat by the strong, or the strong live and the weak dies. The islanders started the war because there were no other chances for peace, why should they die for the greater good? no, the weak marleyans have to die and the strong island eldians have to survive. Sasha's death was unfortunate but it ain't time to cry, cry after the war ends and your guys win. |

I haven't liked Gabi sing ep 1. No real reason why, I just didn't like her. I don't like her eyes. But I've gotta admit, she's one strong kid. At first I thought Conny was going to rip her head off then I saw how he was staring at Eren. I wish Sasha had followed her instincts. She heard them hit the ship. Of all the characters I never once thought of Sasha dying. I guess that's why they killed her. Bye Sasha. You'll be missed. |
