| damn i thought Levi already killed the Monkey Titan but he survive and oh shit Levi is in trouble a lot of titans are on his way |
| Levi should use the titan shifting serum/injection to himself already |

| Doesn't one (the second, from left to right) of the remaining titans look like Yuki Kaji? Levi is possible to survive, depending how fast he could be after the battle with Zeke. He could run back to the nearest dead soldiers and reequip or we'll see a close combat. Armin has a plan, suddenly. 1 point taken for repeating the Trost drama, although it's promising how Eren and Armin will take on the Colossal alone. Reiner vs. Mikasa incoming. |

Very interesting! Didn't know it was on purpose :o I'd like to see the titan version of the other characters haha. |
| @_Flan_, @keragamming I wasn't sure about Yui Ishikawa (this is Mikasa's VA, for those who haven't seen the anime). And Heichou is fine - pulled a blade and boarded the other row of clients. I hope he would be OK in the end. |
| I already shared my opinion in the spoiler thread and after the release of the full chapter, I can safely say it hasn't changed one bit: that was without a doubt one of the best chapters we've had in a while, and the month-long wait is gonna be excruciatingly painful. I'm actually happy with the parallels between Trost and the current arc: it's a simple, yet very effective way of showing how far each character has come in terms of personal growth, Mikasa and Armin in particular. Back in Trost, Mikasa was also forced to entrust Eren to Armin, but she did so begrudgingly: she obviously didn't have time to argue with him over it, but she wasn't happy with this and couldn't even concieve the idea that Armin succeed where she failed. 68 chapters later, the difference is striking: she now trusts him enough to leave Eren in his care and believe in his plan without a single hint of doubt, and that alone is pretty damn satsifying. Same thing with Armin; even though the situation is nearly exactly the same as it was back in Trost (except maybe even more dire), he's tackling the problem at hand with a drastically different attitude. He's got that confidence that stems from finally having his brain working at full speed again, and he's not panicking anymore. He knows what he has to do, and he knows what it might cost him but he's ready to make the sacrifice if necessary. That's why to me it doesn't feel like a rehash of the Trost drama so much as a beautiful example of Armin and Mikes' progression. There's hardly any drama here; everyone is ready to play their part and face the danger with a smile on their face. Character development really is a sweet thing, isn't it? As for Erwin and Levi, I already said most of what I have to say on it in spoiler thread, so I won't do it again, but I'll say I'm satisfied with Levi's failure. It's always a good thing when even overly competent and stoic characters are allowed to mess up, and Levi did mess up by letting his feelings get the best of him for even a split second. Now that Doge-chan and Zeke are on the run and chances of either killing BT or saving Erwin successfully stealing his titan power are growing thinner by the minute, plus he has to deal with a horde of ultra-realistic 15m class titans while he's low on pretty much everything, including morale. Oh my God chapter 82 can't come soon enough 10/10 would see the ocean again zellami said: Yup. We already had Marina Inoue last month, and this chapter we have Yuki Kaji and Yui Ishikawa, so the whole EMA trio. (I think the titan who ate Marco had Tetsuro Araki's face, too).Doesn't one (the second, from left to right) of the remaining titans look like Yuki Kaji? edit: woops, kera already posted it. |

| @Sapewloth Kukukuh, it was Inoue! :D Thanks for the info in the spoiler thread :) Well, as a character development, I don't think it was necessary. Mikasa is shown capable of delegating her precious to others, up to the point of biting Heichou's neck for failing her where Arimin didn't. Seriously, Sapewloth, I encourage you to hold your view firm if you find character development was at play here. Perhaps I would have believed it if Armin hadn't made two 180 degree turns in two consecutive chapters. What Armin says here is of a crucial importance as to why the battle went this way (and not other). It feels contrived, though. |
zellamiMay 5, 2016 4:43 PM
Lol nope Too bad he got away. Hopefully Levi manages to catch him somehow. Interesting to learn some of the colossal titan's weaknesses. Time for another Armin speech to Eren. Feels like I have seen this before... |
 |
| Wonder who Zeke's father is. R.I.P Marlo. Levi went Beast mode on the Beast Titan, what a savage. Lol another reference to the VA's of Eren and Mikasa as Titan's charging at Levi. Looks like Armin has a plan and found the weakness of the Colossal Titan, let see how Eren will deal with him with Armin's plan. |
| @zellami I wouldn't say development per se was at play, but rather the result of it. We do know for a while that Mikasa and Armin went through their fair share of character growth, but seeing the payoff of all that growth during the final/penultimate arc did feel very satisfying (at least to me). I can see why one would think the parallels weren't necessary though, as it could easily come across as the author just having run out of ideas and rehashing his previous battles. I'm still pretty sure the similarities with the Trost arc were very much intentional on his part. I also see what you're saying about Armin: going to "i don't even know anymore, man" to "I've got a plan: trust me" in less than two chapters can and does feel contrived and sort of rushed. But on the other hand, I'd be tempted to argue that Armin's intellect has always worked like that: he never needs much for his brain to start making connection upon connection until it reaches the most plausible/probable conclusion: usually one single element that doesn't add up is enough to set his mind in motion and I think that finding that one flaw or crack in CT was the one thing he needed to start up the brain machine. I do agree that the presentation could've used some serious refining to avoid feeling cheap, though. |

| @Sapewloth It would be easier for Armin's character if this time he wasn't the token Brainiac. Armin was taken aback by his failure to manipulate psychologically Bert, realizing he had lost advantage not only against Bert as a person, but by being only 4 meters away from the Colossal titan means being sentenced to instant death. Armin isn't the best of a soldier, but both encapsulating him as the only thinker and encapsulating the others as fighters only, isn't a good sign of a character development. (It was already established and taking off from here could progress into development). It would be better if Sasha, Jean, or Konnie have noticed that the production of steam eats the Colossal's muscle tissue. It would be in par with Keith's observation on the former 104-th training squad for having changed and grown during their visit. All of them are fighters, all of them could have seen Hanji's experiments with Eren and his hardening ability, and all of them are better fighters than Armin in fact has ever been. I think if Armin volunteered to wake up Eren just because of their friendship, it would be enough. Either way, they can't afford the Colossal to reach both the Wall and Eren (thinning muscles and sea sightseeing rationalizations undermine what a possible character development for Armin could be - a comeback from fear). |
| @zellami You're totally right. Thinking back on it, having someone else make the observation about CT growing thinner and then Armin & the other members of the 104th putting together what they learned from the experiments would've definitely been better than having him getting back in business all of a sudden. Him finally coming up with a plan would've felt less contrived and it would've been a good opportunity for Jean, Sasha or/and Connie to get a bit of attention and highlight the Levi Squad's teamwork. |

| Uhh... So many death flags. Last blades for Levi? Damn... I hope he won't be forced to turn himself into titan to finish Zeke off. I much prefer him as human. Not to mention that risk of staying mindless titan... Hell nah... Armin's death flag surprised me a bit, especially after what happeed to Erwin. I was always assuming Armin will take Erwin's role, when it comes to being the smartest. If they both will die, well sht, as if survey corps situation was not bad enough as it is. Very intense chapter. Loved seing raging Levi, even if in the end he did not finish his job. |
 |
| Poor marlow *honestly I forgot about this guy until I saw that Hitch girl*. Levi being badass while slicing the normal beast titan though F!!! it got away . Anyway I agree very intense chapter. |

egonpg said: I see no comment that the mangaka is fucking up the whole story... (Levi letting BT go away?) Immortal armored titan (transferring his consciousness to his Nervous Central System) SO blowing up his head wont work. I thought that SOMEONE who reads this manga until now would be upset like I am right now. After the immortal armored titan chapter I thought: -Well, so the plan is everyone to fucking suicide so that LEVI could KILL the BT. BUT NOPE, LETS KILL EVERYONE AND LET BT RUN AWAY! The story was SO GOOD until chapter 79. I am really a huge fan but after this 2 chapters I'm abbandoning the ship. The whole story turned into "well the baddies can't die that easy after 200 guys from the troops (including fucking Erwin) gets fucked up/killed" Seriously, I'm so disappointed right now that I can't use the right terms to describe it. And really impressed that no one feels the same. I think you need to realise that Levi is still just a human and not just a typical gary sue character, the fact that Levi wanted to save even one life shows that his past experience especially levi squad death, Isabel and Farlan death has really affected him and show that he isn't a perfect soldier. Levi evwn said, I promise him that I would kill the BT, he was talking about Erwin. I'm not even a big fan of Levi or anything, but it's clear as day to me. Not only that, story wise it would be really stupid to kill MT this early when we really don't know much about him, so this works both ways for Isayama on a writing stand point. Not only that we don't know the outcome on this entire battle on a whole. I agree with you on the Reiner brain function thing, I didn't like it either. Not trying to convince you or anything just giving you my perspective on it. Not to mention the chapter title is called promise |

| Another action packed chapter. But shit, Beast Titan got away (dammit!), and there's a wave of titans incoming. At least the Colossal Titan is getting thinner... 5/5 |
 |
| Damn, Levi is just mutilating that Beast Titan at a blazing pace. I just hate that the author didn't show him to do the finishing blow. -_- Still a great chapter to see. |

| I got this feeling of "just what the hell happened?" after reading this chapter! I would never imagine that BT could be turned into tiny slices of meat (that guy was shocked as hell, too), but ok he was quite overconfident. Still, what Levi demonstrated here...I wonder how to think about it. It crossed my mind that using the serum this way (saving someone) could be an option of course, but I would never think Levi actually considers it...He respected Erwin a lot, but this kind of plot is just a WTF happening to me right now (later I will reread it more carefully). After seeing how he cut BT, I do not think those 15m (or so) titans could be a problem for him...using up his fighting resources (gas, blades) is the real problem here... I mean, he fought before on the roofs, then all his way to BT and then just took him down so easily? Just how strong is Levi? Or is it the "power" of surprise, too? I remember when Mikasa was chasing Annie and she got pissed, she just went into this 'killer-mode' and Annie sure got annoyed by her. As Levi got BT too "easily" (I know, I say this often, but I seriously thought there will be at least some fight between them...) so this turn of events with BT being on the run might be necessary so that we could see a bit more on the Ackerman bloodline's full abilities or I do not know... So there might be a round 2 with a more careful BT or that other titan vs. a bit more tired Levi or what? :D It was sad to see Marlo dying, at least I hoped he survives. Especially after thinking on Hitch... I really want to see Armin's plan! And he basement's secret... Was BT actually feeling down, because of the solder's suicide attacks and fighting them??? Like Grisha was also shocked when he met Keith and saw the S.Legion fighting titans... Well, it is going to be answered anyways (in a few months/years... :,D) egonpg said: "So yeah, the mangaka fucked up Levi character there. IMHO Levi wouldnt hesitate chopping off Zeke's head. " Haha, maybe it is an Ackerman trait, too? Remember Mikasa letting Reiner and Bertold go alive. But well, I do not think Levi was completely wrong here (logically they need shifters to be able to use the serum). The 'problem' is that he could not stop BT's 'kidnapping'... Well, "we never know what result our choices will bring until the end", right? keragamming said: I think you need to realise that Levi is still just a human and not just a typical gary sue character, the fact that Levi wanted to save even one life shows that his past experience especially levi squad death, Isabel and Farlan death has really affected him and show that he isn't a perfect soldier. Levi evwn said, I promise him that I would kill the BT, he was talking about Erwin. I'm not even a big fan of Levi or anything, but it's clear as day to me. I agree with this. He is human (except his abilities) and right now Levi still has a chance to fulfill his promise. |

| Don't belive in yourself! Belive in me who belives in you! (TTGL) XD ...LOVE and PEACE!! ^_^ |
| What a FANTASTIC Chapter. Levi completely owned the Beast Titan. So close to killing him, but the other titans got in the way. Looks like the Colossal Titan is getting thinner. Armin's got a plan. Everyone is going for the Armored Titan while Armin & Eren are going to take down the Colossal Titan. "Let's go see the Ocean" Man I really want to see this animated. |
"I’ve set myself to become the King of the Pirates…and if I die trying…then at least I tried!" Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece) |
| levi is a total fuckin badass. this chapter was him owning it. |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| That's a quality chapter! Zeke is running away (plot armor reigns in this manga) 4/5 |
 |
| Levi is such a badass this chapter. I like how that Beast Titan was one minute having fun with his little game and the next minute being in state of panic as he was losing. Kinda curious on the upcoming battle against the Armored Titan again. Surely, they need to finish it off for good this time. |
 |
| The Beast Titan got fucked up this chapter. Too bad Levi couldn't finish him off. Looks like Armin finally came up with a way to defeat the Colossal Titan, so hopefully he and Eren can pull it off successfully. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Levi is such a badass, single handedly taking on beast titan, too bad he got away but it's just a matter of time before he goes down Wonder how will they beat Reiner and Bertolt, especially Reiner cause i think the same trick won't work twice |
 |
| My God that was intense. Poor Marlow. But Isayama has depicted very nicely the scene of somebody rushing to their own death, the disconnected thoughts and memories, and I appreciate that very much. Not to mention Levi's inner turmoil faced with Beast Titan. It was an epic encounter, and as a whole an epic act. I could very well feel his deep deep rage and when Erwin's face popped up thinking about the serum my heart cracked. I don't know why would Armin said that he would die if the plan succeed. Feels like he hasn't conveyed everything under his sleeves. |
| Awesome chapter. I wonder how Levi will survive. I have a feeling that the soldier who survived will play an important role later... I can't wait to see Armin's plan. |
 |
| Just like armor titan, so close to killing them. Still, badass Levi. Hopefully he survive. |
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. |
| Levi only kept Zeke alive because he wanted to save Erwin. With the titan serum and consuming a titan shifter alive, Erwin would have been able to heal his wounds and become the ultimate titan general. Unfortunately Levi forgot about Zeke's coordinate ability... |
 |
| oh no!! it seems the only candidate for next commander of scouting legion is only Levi well, if Hanji survived, she would do a better job than he will for the position hope she survived Levi v Beast Titan is AMAZING!! as expected Erwin down first rest in piece, you've been a badass from get go, only regretting not able to see the secret that plot armor that best Titan had is incredible! I could see Armin be a commander in future but it seems his plan is also similar to Erwin's in which he have to sacrificed his own life let's just hope it's not come down to that |
 |
| Gotta love these Levi BA moments |
 |
| At least one of the shifters better die in the next couple of chapters. We got cheated out of Zeke's death and that was bad enough, if literally no one dies, Imma be pissed. |
