Great episode, so sad Zeke had probably top 10 worst childhood's I have seen. The dude just wanted a normal childhood. F.

That ending explosion got Levi pretty good damn, he do be strong tho, I believe in my man.

I think they're all in the wrong. I disagree with Mikasa and Co's attempt to get the world to see them as normal. Imagine rolling up to the people who hate you and going "oh, by the way, we're not actually devils, you guys are in the wrong". However, Eren is acting like a brat, and the only bit I agreed with him on was the killing of all the generals. The whole Euthanasia plan is BS, and actually pretty poor writing IMO. How in Gods name does Eren think getting rid of all Eldians constitutes as "freedom"? If anything he should be advocating to start the rumbling.

Zeke's backstory made me lose a lot of respect for Grisha Jaeger, but Zeke didn't gain any of my respect either. Not after what he did to that guy in season 2 ep 1.

Hopefully they keep the CGI to minimum in the last episode. Also, if Levi dies then I'm not giving this season a 10.

Last week's ep was cut short by Eren's premature rumbling, oh shit, I meant the 4.6 magnitude earthquake that occured in Japan. Out of the usual 25 minutes of ep, we only got to see 19 mins of it, which partly includes the events of the titan transformation plot used against the MP by Zeke. It's nice that they aired both ep 14 and 15 back to back, really is the best way to solve such an incident.

I've been waiting for this, Zeke's flashback. It goes to show how a toxic way of teaching your child by forcing them your extremist ideology is never the best way to go about executing your grand plan. And thus, the Zeke Yeager as we know it is borned.

Edit:

Now that's a 10/10 episode in my record! Watching two episodes back to back on Japanese television was a first for me and I think the bar has been set sky high to top this experience honestly.

Zeke's backstory seriously hit like a wrecking ball and those final few moments of him trying to take out humanity's strongest is undoubtedly commendable. MAPPA giving the backstory an entire episode to flesh it out is just .. I'm super grateful!

God, some of those facial expressions were packed with a lot of emotions though...

The best episode so far honestly, I have literally nothing to complain about. The direction was spot on visually and the OST choices/voice acting in general were fantastic. Glad this chapter got a lot of love in the adaptation. Also that cheeky Ram plush in Xaver's flashback, heh.

Zeke's backstory was adapted perfectly. And the last slo-mo scene of raindrops was beautiful, just before the thunderspear blasted.

Once again a perfect 5/5 for me.

Ah, the life of young Zeke. He went through a lot of shit at his age.

Pretty interesting character study of Zeke imo. He's still one of the more complex characters in this franchise. Very excited to see how they plan out the Final Season's conclusion.

Zeke had a pretty fucked up backstory man. What a cliffhanger to leave us on this week with that explosion. As expected, next week's finale will end with chapter 116 which is a great cliffhanger to end on that'll leave much anticipation for part 2 of the final season.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

You have to laugh at the clowns that rated this episode a 1/5 before it even finished airing in Japan. Trolls gotta troll.

In other far more important news, the episode was great. Loved the OST choices for Zeke's backstory by MAPPA. The art was clean for the most part and there was clearly more going on between Grisha/Dina and Zeke than we were led to believe in S3 when we heard Grisha's backstory.

The animation at the end with Zeke/Levi was a preview of what MAPPA could have done with this season as a whole if they were given another 6-9 months with this series.

I couldn't really care less about Zeke's character in the manga, but like Gabi, the anime has done a far better job than the manga did at making me sympathise with them as characters.

Solid 8.5/10 episode.

other also rate it 5/5 as well.
"I think I wanted to attack something. Like betraying people or hurting people. And, well, it's not exactly nice, but hurting the readers too... In all honestly, I feel that's what I really wanted to do. For me, as a reader, when I think, "this manga will remain in my heart," it means, for example, it phenomenally hurt me: It's those kinds of experiences I'm after." - Pajime Hisayama (My favourite hurting author).

Baby Zook deserved better. Chapter 114 is definitely one of the better flashback of aot, MAPPA did it justice with the VA work. It also didn’t feel as rushed as Grisha’s flashback in S3P2. And we finally learn what Zeke’s true intentions are now that he said his euthanasia plan out loud and shared it with Eren. Looks like our MC is on board..

The famous "baseball flashbacks" was masterfully adapted. Zeke was already a good character, now he is an excellent character. We can only wait and see the last episode.

Fantastic new episode. Zeke's backstory is seriously touching and this episode elevated it even further. A perfect adaptation with barely anything if not nothing cut, a very strong direction and spot on music placement, a fantastic storyboard and voice actors performance for an overhaul emotionally intense episode. I felt chills mangas don't give me. I really liked the various additions like the plague doctors, manga easter eggs that readers will surely recognize and more, also god DAMN that explosion at the end was impressive. Much better than the little *poof* from the manga/PV

They dont show everything in previews. Some of 115 was adapted in this episode and they’ll cover the rest + 116 next week. I just dont know what they plan to end the season with if they dont remove the op/ed for more time.
