No, I don't think he has killed personally Ymir, but I think she recognized him or the organization he comes from. I meant the damage he caused by summoning his minions while leaving Wall Rose - they attacked the Utgardt Castle and Ymir spiraled to the unknown because of it.
So, the bastard comes for a second round on his own? :]
Not sure, I just remember that the mule titan has those cargo on his back.
I actually missed one of the links; it clearly shows the rock made a hole in Erwin's abs as well as the horse's head and leg.
The serum is indeed a trump card with many complications to be given to Erwin in his last raid. Perhaps I was hoping for the impossible, ... again :|
I hope we'd see most of "what happened" in the two battlefronts, but Reiner is what I am curious about. Apparently, he reached some final form of transformation as a shifter and from here on, he might only exist as a titan (?)
Actually took time to sit down and read this page and Levi basically says that he can't kill Zeke just yet and asks himself if anyone who participated in the suicide attack is still alive; even if they're on the verge of dying, as long as they're still breathing they can use the serum to eat Zeke and steal the "Beast Titan" power from him. If this page is anything to go by, then it's pretty safe to say that he still has the serum but was waiting for one of the survivors (preferably Erwin, judging from the last panel) to use it.
Of course, his plans had to be ruined by Dog Titan-kun, whom MT porbably called with his roar when Levi started going ham on his ass. :/
The new Shingeki no Kyojin chapter is set to be released on 8th may , but we already have some images leaked ... hehehe ( Images found on internet / I'm only sharing them ) , continue at your own risk.
I don't understand the purpose of this post. Is it a post where we discuss the latest chapters of SnK. I mean, now are we supposed to discuss ch80 till ch81 is out?

This is a spoiler thread for chapters yet to be officially released and there's a discussion topic on chapter 81 already.

It is to discuss the early spoiler pictures leaked before the full chapter is out.
Rereading now. I haven't reread from the beginning of the manga too often, mostly reread from where the anime ended at, so there is a chance I miss out on some hints in the earlier volumes.
Can he be saved by the titan serum??? Just wondering
He burned alive and fell from 50 meters. It's physically impossible to be alive after that. On the other hand it would be "nice" to see Levi having to decide between saving Erwin and Armin, especially after he heard EMA's discussion in chapter 72.
Well shit... I'm so conflicted, happy because Hanji is alive (YES FINALLY THE WAIT HAS BEEN TOO LONG) but also so worried about Armin. I want to believe he is too important to die.
Can he be saved by the titan serum??? Just wondering
I think yes, unless we see him completely dead, he probably can be saved, but that would mean then that Erwin is dead 100%. Also Levi is too far away, and on his way back probably would check on Erwin first, so I don't know how that would happen?
Maybe when Levi comes to Erwin, he is already dead, and that soldier that survived is there with the purpose of hearing Erwin's last words and transmit them to Levi. Then Levi goes back and finds Armin and bam titan-mushroom.
_Flan_ said: Can he be saved by the titan serum??? Just wondering
I dunno, he looks pretty ded to me. Even if the major burn didn't kill him on the spot, unless someone was there to catch him the fall alone would've been enough to kill him. And if by chance, he somehow managed to survive even that, the injuries are just way too serious for him to live until Levi makes it back to Shiganshina.
I think it'll be a draw between Erwin and someone else that was seriously injured (maybe Sasha or Hanji?). My bet is definitely not on Erwin, though: his injury is too bad to transport him safely to the walls without him bleeding out. My guess is we'll hear his last words this chapter or the next one.
The context of this image: Levi, Eren, and Mikasa confront the situation and must decide the fate of the serum.
This means Armin is indeed alive - or at least on his last breath.

So, Levi got rid of all the titans that were cornering him and managed to regroup with Eren and co.? I wonder if he encountered Erwin and that one soldier on his way to the walls (or if he did, does that mean it was too late to save Erwin?)
Oh, and why is Levi standing too close to Eren O.o
_Flan_ said: Oh, and why is Levi standing too close to Eren O.o
I don't think there's any context for that yet, but it looks like maybe he is supporting him/holding him on some way, it might be that Levi got there very weak and hurt after fighting all those titans and he can't stand properly.
However Eren it's looking at him with anger, so idk.
Oh for fuck sake! Just let Armin die for godsake! You gave him a good send off and now you want to bring him back? Plus he shouldn't even be breathing after what he went through.
Ok, that's my initial reaction to these sspoiles, I'll wait and see how it goes after the full chapter is released. Honestly, I would rather no known character to use the serum. Armin or Erwin just don't fit to be a titan shofter imo, it feels wrong.
A small summary from the raws and some comments I saw on tumblr:
- Flashback to when Eren and Armin met.
- Zeke goes where Eren is located with Armin and Berthold. Apparently he says something to him about his father (there is a very important page here wow, with Grisha and Zeke looking so similar).
- Eren cuts Berthold's throat a bit.
- Levi appears, Zeke runs away.
- Hanji is torturing Reiner.
- Flashback to a scene where Erwin apparently explains to everyone what the serum is.
- Hanji sends Mikasa back to where Eren is.
- Mikasa arrives and finds what happened to Armin, and Eren crying over his body.
- Eren asks Levi for the serum.
- Meanwhile, Zeke arrives where Hanji and the others are. Jean saves Hanj but Zeke takes Reiner.
- Levi is about to give the serum to Eren so he can use it on Armin, but then that random soldier appears carrying Erwin.
- Levi says Erwin should take the serum instead.
- Eren goes on rage mode and stands up to Levi like "wtf".
- Mikasa it's about to attack Levi.
- Zeke looks back thinking how Berthold is most likely dead and going to be eaten.
Also:
- Hanji might have lost her eye.
- Sasha looks stable but who knows.
- Armin is alive and making noises (the poor thing), Erwin is alive too and he is breathing (Levi puts his hand to check).
- The fandom is imploding with people arguing about which of the two should survive, meanwhile I'm here with some popcorn.
We will know more when someone starts translating.
Also I now truly believe Zeke is Eren's grandfather. Those faces side by side so similar can't be a coincidence.
Quick shitty translations! Will be updating this comment with more pages the further I get. Edit: DONE. Sorry for all the typos :( I changed some literal translations to better deliver their real meaning, and included the literal translations in brackets.
E: Armin, why don’t you fight back? (literally: pay them back) They look down on you because you never fight back. Are you okay with loisng all the time?
A: (Tears) I didn’t lose. I didn’t run away.
E: You……What’s your name?
<title page>
E: …Armin must’ve known he’d end up like this. But we had to rely on your strength - we could only capture Bert thanks to you. Armin…why don’t you run away?……. (sees mule titan) titan?! (mule titan rushes at him0 fuck! (holds Bert hostage) come any closer and I’ll kill him instead of losing him!
meanwhile, Eren’s thinking that Zeke has signs of titaning around his eyes, and wonders if he’s the ape titan
Zeke: You…are Elen Jaeger?
Eren: (talking to himself) shit, we fucked up, I’ll kill Bert at the very least
Zeke: you don’t resemble your father in the slightest.
Eren: …what?
Zeke: Please trust/believe me. I am one who understands you. We are victims of your father… You wer ebrainwashed by your father.
Eren: my father?!
Zeke: (notices a smoking Levi on the top of the wall) ?! What…?! You’re shitting me, right?! To think you chased me all the way here… (panel of Levi, looking like a corpse with titan blood smoking off him) … you damn monster
<panel shows rows of fallen titans outside the wall. 2nd panel shows Levi jumping down the wall to reach Zeke>
Zeke: …!!!…Okay, fine, Levi. Let’s call it a draw. Bert, I’m sorry to say, but this seems to be the end of the road for you. Eren… We’ll rescue you one day.
<Mule titan dashes away with Zeke in tow>
Eren: …What?! He ran away?? <notices Levi> …!! Lance Corporal!!
LEvi: I just ran out of gas. I’m pursuing the bastard. Give me all your blades and gas.
Eren: …yes sir!
Levi: Hurry!!
<Eren hears Armin cough/sfx lit says cough>
— cut to Hanji
Hanji: Reiner, what’s with the metal case that was in your left breast pocket? Weren’t you trying to take it out at the last moment, right beofre your limbs were cut off? Are they suicide pills? Or bombs?
Jean: ouch (Mikasa treating his wound)
Mikasa: sorry
Reiner: ….letter…
Hanji: :Letter? ?What letter?
Reiner: ..Ymir’s letter. It’s addressed to Krista…Please deliver it to her, no matter what happens.
Hanji: ….after we check its contents.
<Hanji draws her blades>
Hanji: then…. There are so many things I want to hear from you, but your lips seem to be sealed. (lit: your lips look tougher than steel) Are you going to tell us what we want to know?
Reiner: …. No
Hanji: …Thanks. That sealed the deal for me. (lit: made me determined)
Jean: …please wait a sec! <just as Hanji’s about to kill him> Is it okay to kil him? We might be able to steal his titan shifter powers.
<Hanji flashback to Erwin explaining Levi’s serum. blah blah, important points are that Erwin says as we suspected, titans used to be humans/if we use the serum, we can steal shifter powers by injecting the serum into a soldier - more precisely, bite into the spinal cord of the shifter to get his spinal fluid. This will make non-intelligent titans intelligent, and we’ll be able to wield titanic powers like our proud Eren. I ask everyone here today to be prepared to take on this burden. This plan of attack’s aim is still elimitating intelligent titans and getting back Wall Maria, but if possible, we want to get in on the shifter power as well. This will not only let us gain their power and possibly info, but also heal the recipient who is near death. Thus, we will prioritise the recipients to be those who are near death. If you capture a shfiter and cut off all their limbs and secure the perimeters, call Levi. I will entrust the serum to him. And please don’t forget everyone - there is only one serum>
Hanji: I don’t think the conditions have been met (to steal the shifter powers) We don’t know hwo Levi’s going, or how Armin/Eren are going as well. We also don’t have the time nor room to check it out, because the shifters’ powers are out of reach for us, both in terms of strength and how little we know about it. Even if we cut off their heads, we can’t be reassured.
Jean: That isn’t like you, Hanji. How will we make progrses if we choose to stay in the dark, for the sake of playing it safe? How will we figure out/manage to win against the titans?
Mikasa: …Jean…
Jean: When - when will we be able to understand our enemies?
Hanji: ..Mikasa…
Mikasa: Yes?
Hanji: How much gas do you have?
Mikasa: Nearly none. I just have enough to get to Eren + Armin.
Hanji: …more than me, then. Mikasa, please go check up on Eren and co right now. Fill up on gas, then get the serum from Levi. If you’re deterred in any way, use the flares. I’ll use that as a signal to kill Reiner.
Mikasa: Okay
Jean: ..Hanji… I…
Hanji: It’s my decision. I’m merely using your words as inspiration.
Jean: (thinks to himself) What…what’s happening? Don’t tell me that even in this situation…
Hanji: What then?
Jean: What?
Hanji: Who becomes the titan? Sasha, who isn’t on her deathbed but still severely injured? Or…is there anyone more appropriate?
— cut to Eren
Eren: Ohhhh!!!!!!! Armin breathed! <panels above show Mikasa with her hand on her head> You can do it Armin! Breathe just a little longer!
Mikasa: Armin?! (in shocok)
Eren: Corporal! The serum - quickly! We’ll inject Armin and feed Bert to him! Pleae give me the serum quickly!
Levi: …okay
Mikasa: ah… <shoots falre>
— cut to Jean
Jean: Hanji!!
<mule titan snatches Reiner away>
Connie: Hanji!! We lost Reiner!! Shit! <starts to pursue>
Hanji: Connie, no need to chase after him. We’re nearly out of gas - we’ll only get slaughtered.
Jean: Fuck! It’s my fault.. I…I did something unforgivable/unredeemable..
Hanji: .. I told you that it was my decsion. Let’s regroup with Eren and co.
—cut to Eren and Levi
<Levi’s about to hand over the serum box when the redshirt enters dragging Erwin>
Redshirt: Corpora Levi… finally caught up with you. Comamnder Erwin is severely wounded. His stomach is blown to bits, his intestines are damaged as well - he’s running out of blood. I think the serum that was mentioned to us before could help him. What do you think?
Eren: <hand still outstretched for the serum> Corporal?
Levi: <checking Erwin> …he’s stil breathing. He’s still alive… This serum will be used on Erwin.
Eren: You said you’d use it on Armin—
Levi: I’ll choose humanity’s survival.
redshirt: …oh..what? <sees Mikasa approaching Levi with her blades drawn>
— Zeke + MT
Zeke: Reiner… You got lucky this time.
ENDING NOTES: The ruthless adult’s decision is what will steal the life of a dearest childhood friend…
I didn't want to end up like this. I mean both Armin and Erwin should have been dead.
The whole thing with Levi and Erwin reminds Mustang and Hughes from fmab. I hope that something unexpected will happen because right now I am disappointed...

I've seen that video, and most of those criticism can easily be countered. Only one or two criticism that he made is actually valid, and one of them was when eren was able to save Armin from santa titan, with just one leg.
Anyways, I will get back on this with a more in depth counter response to the snob video when I come from work.

Well, I dont like snob, I think he is full of shit and his usage of buzzwords and oneliners is extreme.
Edit: Will you counter his points?
Yes, I will when I have the time to. Probably in a coupe of hours.
Attention-seeking kids trying to make a name for themselves by using vapid bullshit and fallacies... wow how original. MAL forums is enough, so why need MAL: The Youtube Video?
Not going to counter every single point, since majority of what Qhe said is just out of misunderstanding and straight up ridiculous! Thatanimesnob is a guy that objective was to talk badly of a popular series he didn't like. Ok, its time to counter his little rant... Opps I meant critical overview. :)
42 seconds in the video.
The purpose wasn't for you to care about those dead soldiers, it was simple to give you a first impression feel to the overall tone of the series, its literally the first few pages of the manga, what were you expecting? Just like how on the very first few pages of berserk we saw him having sex with a demon, so the audience instantly new what they were getting into, you could easily call this edgy as well, since all you mostly use is buzzword.
1 minute and 21 seconds in the video
What do you mean he has no reason to be angsty? Btw angsty means fearful, but let's use the internet buzzword definition. Eren is angry that the humans are stuck inside the walls like cattle because of the titans. That's his perspective, how one sees something can affect them differently. Also not everyone that lives a normal life is "normal" why are some babies cry a lot while some don't?
"why is he yelling? " *facepalm* he is a kid! Is it really that abnormal for a kid to yell?? Have you ever have experience around real life kids before? Is this critical overview a big joke or something?
2 minutes and 50 seconds in the video.
I don't get the point you were making on this. Eren saw a boulder crash nearby his house and he simple fear for the worst, what the hell are you talking about?
Yes revenge is a very basic objective in story telling, but the thing is eren objective has change throughout the course of the story. This was all in the beginning, this was simple a short term goal that was simple use to drive his character to a certain point.
I agree with your mikasa point, finally a actually criticism! That sure took a while. Lol Though She has been less clingy later on in the series and she is thinking about her other teammates as well, still her character needs a lot of work.
I won't even mention the fanservice part in your argument, you're simple grasping at straws now. Smh
4 minutes and 37 seconds in.
Alternating hope and despair, rinse and repeat until the very end. The collosal titan appeared out of nowhere in the first chapter, so technically it shouldn't even had shock the audience, but it was executed in such a good way that makes this shocker one amazing one.
Yes the scene where eren save armin from santa titan was flawed because it is impossible for him to go and save him with one leg, this is the second criticism that is valid, but most people would simple call that anime logic. But anyways I wont steal your glory.
That one dimmensional asshole actually got characterization in the uprising arc.
Smh, eren barely goes titan, eren barely even wins fight, the author never Overpowered eren to the point where humanity can sit back and relax.
Anyways your rant that you disguise as a critical review made my head hurt. So this is snob the great critical thinker of anime huh? Disappointing...
You had two volumes that consist of 10 chapters in total and you're telling me this is the best you could find out of those two volumes to criticisze?
1) Guts is the one in those first pages anf you care about him. Nobody cares about the redshirts.
2) Why is he angry about people wanting to stay inside the walls? He has no reason. Some babies are well taught and some are Erens.
3) He jumped to conclusions
4) His goal didn't change in these volumes
I loled.
*facepalm* lmao I saw it, it even got two up votes as well! What a mindless fanbase! loool
What's funny about this video is that so many of the things he talks about were well explained. I love how he judges writing and characters before the story is even in the middle. But it was definitely amusing. He even had one two fair points.
Any spoilers for the next chapter yet?
