What are the order of the events here? Eren's father steals the power from the titan, gives it to Eren , Eren kills/eats his own father and then the titans invade? |
| They actually showed the shit machine LOL. My roommate walked in on me while on this exact panel. I didn't notice what was on my screen until after it was too late. I couldn't have explained it if I tried, so nothing was said about it LOL. |

| So that was how Eren got his powers. By the way, what exactly was inside the pipe? Correct me if I'm wrong, but they never mentioned what exactly that guy was consuming. |
| Mankind knew that they cannot change society. So instead of reflecting on themselves, they blamed the beasts. |
keragamming said: That is the point though, you're just starting to see the bigger picture here, and the more episodes goes by, the bigger the picture becomes. It only feels random, because you forgot a lot of foreshadowing in season 1 and 2, that if you watch now will make you say '' now that scene long ago makes sense now'' A lot of the foreshadowing isn't good, having things shoved in your face and then not mentioning it again until later down the line isn't interesting, why should I be interested in the bigger picture when it doesn't feel like there's a conclusive ending? After we find out all these secrets, then what? Will that be the end? It just feels like a story with no motive to me, it's just a fluff series - there's little to no development with important characters, no real impact, a bunch of sporadic writing mixed with cool action scenes. Though to each their own I guess, I've got nothing against people who like it, I do see the appeal in it, I just feel like it's lost its potential. |

| Nice seeing baby titan Eren before he gobbled up dada, he was adorable as a big-headed titan. I guess kid titans have that form but then again Ymir also had that form and also Connia's big-headed titan mom. Nice seeing Frieda fully animated, we only caught a glimpse of her last time with an actual voice. Can't say who's hotter Titan Annie or Titan Frieda, too bad Frieda got fucked up and Grisha nommed her since she's inexperienced at wielding her titan power. There is so much that still needs to be explained and revealed. Glad that Ackerman thing was also addressed in the Anime since a lot of people are confused by it. I'm updated on the manga and can't wait for the latest chapters to be animated but I'm guessing that won't happen until the fourth or fifth season probably two to three years from now. I'm excited for the next episode. P.S. the shit machine was amazing LOL Zachary/Zackly is savage. |

If that is the mind set you have why are you even watching it now? What is the reason then? Also I laugh at it lost its potential part, mate you haven't even touch on the core plot of the series yet. Snk is one of those series the more you learn in later season/chapters, the more you appreciate the series when you rewatch it and see how cleverly the author ties in all the pieces together, that he was building up from years ago, even if you dont like that style of writing, you have to give credit how well planned out his story is at the very least. I will just say one thing, attack on titan story is very ambitious! What it is going to tackle, is something that is very similar to real life that most anime would shy away from. By the end of this season, you will understand the true plot of this series, not saying your opinion will change at all, at the wnd of the day one man trash is another man treasure, and it's true. |

Not sure what that comment about it being similar to real life is supposed to mean though, the characters act unrealistically a lot of the time. Off the top of my head the most rational/realistic characters seem to be Levi and Armin, a majority of the other characters feel unmotivated. - Also I'm not trying to have an argument here, I'm generally curious about other people's perspective on this series and want to try to see this show in a different light, so nothing I'm saying is out of spite or for the sake of argument. :) - |

| Interesting episode, but an extremely high amount of plot threads hanging around that the show is trying to deal with all at once. As such, we probably learnt more than we needed to at once, especially as not everything will be explained anytime soon. |

TheLonelyCynic said: Hey, i would recommend rewatching the series, believe me it works. Also, yeah, the "altering memories" thing felt out of place to me either when i first read it in the manga, but after, the story got more depth, and that thing isn't a big deal anymore.keragamming said: That is the point though, you're just starting to see the bigger picture here, and the more episodes goes by, the bigger the picture becomes.

| @TheLonelyCynic As @Emerald_Winter has mention the season is 2 cour like the first season, Younkou said 24 episode. That's why I said just watch this season to the end and you will understand, the basement reveal all of that is happening this season, and it would not be justice to the series if I gave you the answer, with no context behind it. |
| Interested to see why Grisha ate Frieda . Something to do with wanting to obtain her Power of the titan , so he could gain the ability to alter humanity's memories ? We shall see Also why would his dad want Eren to eat him ... |
| Too much information wow.. but still I can’t believe in what Rod ress said I don’t know it’s look like he lieing for me,,, I’m already scared of the next episode I hope not see another bloodbath like last season:( If they prepared a new weapons their will be a big chance for him to win because the titans gear “I don’t know its name lol” will not be useful against their guns Is anybody know how historia has a blond hair although her parents have black hair? I wonder about that since her mom showed (if there’s spoilers in it ignore me please) |
TheYellow said: Is anybody know how historia has a blond hair although her parents have black hair?

She was not; she was her older sister (from a different mother). thepath said: Historia mom did not have black hair Whatever but it’s a dark color 😭 Historia's mother was the yellowish haired woman who always read books and never talked to her in the previous episode, who later got executed by Kenny Ackerman after the Reiss family incident. |

Emerald_Winter said: I agree with @Emerald_Winter, that was the reason all Tokyo Ghoul adaptations were so disappointing. It's like a rare gem for me, finding such a complex story from a manga getting a proper and faithful adaptation.

About being similar to real life, I think it's regarding the morale of the characters which we'll find out later, later in the series. So, unlike Boruto and Black Clover, Attack on Titan is aimed more for adult audiences. No need to rush, because it would be worth the wait. Fun fact: the manga has been categorized as seinen (R18+) in my country since the beginning of the series. |

If this was enough to blow your mind, by the end of this season you won't have any brain. Take care and enjoy the ride! ^^ |
| Whoah, that one awful amnesia on demand plot device. I guess, the plot it useless now. |
crystal-frost said: Fun fact: the manga has been categorized as seinen (R18+) in my country since the beginning of the series. lol it should be categorized under that since the show had violent scenes from the get go |
jTiKey said: Whoah, that one awful amnesia on demand plot device. I guess, the plot it useless now. That has been established season 1 episode 9, When Grisha said you will not remember, so it's pointless to explain everything to you now, also Ymir and bertholdt also said they don't remember who they ate. |
harapeko-kun said: If it's not heavy spoiler tell me, what was the power of the Grisha titan? Well pretty much what Eren's titan is. The Attack Titan, just mobile, has a good punch and is extremely strong. |
Shreeder4092 said: By the way, what exactly was inside the pipe? Correct me if I'm wrong, but they never mentioned what exactly that guy was consuming. He will be eating everything that comes from his top. Since he is upside down his top is.... well.... Let's just imagine reverse eating and you got a good idea of what's going on. :D |

True. Their memories erased/altered by Titan's power. Not because Royal bloodline or Historia's family .... |
| That's spoiler boundary but the royal bloodline plays an important role in the memory manipulation. |

What do you mean? Are you talking about the events that happen after the basement reveal? Not even manga readers know what is eren´s ideology |
Emerald_Winter said: That's spoiler boundary but the royal bloodline plays an important role in the memory manipulation. I know. What I want to say, in more detail, whatever events are related to memory (in AOT), whether Titan shifter who lose memory, or memory manipulation, etc., are all related to titan power. The royal bloodline only has unique abilities or unique effects when they have the power of titan as a titan shifter. Only Frieda, who could do it at that time, because she's a titan shifter. And her power probably still at the level of erasing memory with skin contact. Historia, Rod Reiss and all royal bloodline don't have any power related to the memory (like some people think). They are all just a candidate for this power. |

| This is best anime of season alongside Boku no hero and Overlord. Seeing truth of about Grisha,Grisha vs Frieda plus seeing Rod reiss know more than he lets on. This anime follow manga just with different scenes. Loves this anime best of three season and my favourite arc. Animation is perfect 10/10 rating no complains or critism |
El_Fuerte said: It's not like everyone could grasp/enjoy a complex story, which is aimed more at adult audiences. So, it's understandable why a shounen series like My Hero Academia gets more spotlight. HOW THIS ANIME DOES NOT HAVE A RATING OF 10!!!!!! But some shit like boku no kid got a higher score While as for me, this series (previous seasons included) is among the best shows I've ever watched so far. |

nekoapril said: You can see the reflection of Grisha in his titan eyes and follows up with him turning back to human form which means that he ate his father.Shingeki no Kyojin gets better and better and I already loves season one and two so so much! Last episode was insane! :o Looks like now we're finally getting some answers.. Still didn't understand that one scene with Eren and his father. His father injected him something, and then Eren shifted into a titan and then his father was dead? :/ |
