Plot armor strong?

not a single rock hit the avengers force even though we know zeke has amazing aim and they were going straight at him.

Not a single piece of shrapnel hit the group when the collosal titans were right next to them and hange was flying around killing dozens of what were among the strongest type of titan

Hange was only on fire after taking down several titans when we know collosal titans are super hot and being close to one would've caused that much earlier. Also one could have just swat her away in an instant.

The titans and eren do nothing when the airships are flying towards them. Like bots in a video game

I'm anime only but I'm guessing the wall titans are mindless. They don't do anything other than move forward. Unless maybe Eren tells them to do something else.

Why Hange wasn't on fire immediately?
Did you remember that Armin was being able to hold out in front of Bertholt for like, 5 minutes, when the Colossal titan was actively trying to burn him to death? And not just mindlessly walking like the wall titans?

If then, why did the Navy officer turned into a pulp of melted flesh right away when the colossal titans was swimming beneath them, you may ask. It's simple, the Titan was boiling tons of water, creating steam continuously, so he died quickly. When they are on land however, there's nothing for them to create such a large amount of steam, so people can survive much longer. Not to mention Hange was constantly zipping around and not standing still, which helps her dissipate away a lot of heat much more easily than standing still. Assume that she knows what's coming, she could even splash water onto herself so that she can last even longer, but I guess the water could mess with her vision and equipment.

As for why the Beast missed them

This is spoiler, but since you asked, I'm gonna answer. If you don't wanna get spoiled, scroll away.

First, that Beast Titan is not Zeke, but just a replica that Eren created using the War Hammer's power, hence why it's worse, and its weird white color. Second, Eren might be purposefully miss those people, because he knows that's the flying boat with his friends on it, trying to stop him

1. Eren was shooting, not Zeke. And he was on the move while throwing rocks. Just like plane. It is much more difficult to hit than when you stay still and your target is going right at you, frontally.
2. They are hot, so she burned finally. But who said that she must be burnt in 5 seconds? Armin hold his ground for quite the time back then. And Hange was gradually burning. Not really a plot hole. They were mindless titans set to rumble the world, so they ignored her.
3. What were they suppose to do? Eren is going straight to the airport, shortest amd fastest way. Planes are faster than collosal titans so what would they do? Spread like little girls? Eren decided to take a shot to get rid of them all at once. He sacrifised a fraction of his titans to destroy all planes. Quite like not a bot.

Minor spoiler: that was not zeke throwing the rocks at the squad, but eren, who can now manifest all tirna powers and create bodies out of thin air. So it makes sense that erens air is worse

You talking abt this? If you are worrying abt this then you are not ready for what's coming.


I don't know why people are realising now that alliance has too much plot armour it was clearly evident in Port battle between alliance and yeagerists. Last two battles of aot are just plot armour shitshow.

In manga Hange died after killing like 2 titans . ..
If you're crying on this then remember that the last battle was pure example of Plot Armor.

1. First of all that wasn’t zeke, that was kind of a replica of him created by eren using war hammer titan’s power. Also, i think some shots did hit the plane before they jumped.

2. Hange could kill that many even though they are ‘among the strongest titans’ because they didn’t have any human in them. Eren just ordered all the titans to walk, he can’t control them individually at every point of time, it would be very difficult. So they were just walking, they couldn’t release more stream like bertolt did when fighting with armin. They couldn’t swat away hange since there is no one to control them. They only had their size and their natural heat. Also, hange didn’t burn faster because she was travelling from one titan to other, above them, infront of them everywhere at a very fast pace. So it took time to burn her.

Sorry, if there is any mistake since english isn’t my first language.

People really don't learn to read between lines these days huh? You need everything spoonfed to you. The Wall titans have one order:"March". They are not supoosed to attack or anything. Just walk. Also Eren ran on Bertholdt's arm in S1E5 without instantly combusting.

I swear some people just want to complain.

I have no doubt some of the people that ask these sorts of questions are of an age where nuance and actually engaging the brain without having everything explained to them is a difficult concept to entertain.  If not, then I do worry.

If talking about manga yes, the panels make it seem that its all plot armor since you cant really see what's going on well, but The anime has fixed all those issues, you should probably start to look at the changes and see that there isn't any plot armor that would be an issue for the writing.

Hange Panel was changed she just didn't kill 2 titans and randomly died for no reason, the anime gave it meaning which I'm glad they did since I hated how forced her death was in the manga, she was the only soldier able to do this mission plus she offered herself and didn't order someone like Levi to do because she might think he is not in a good state Or his still in a state good enough that hes gonna be useful and needed on the last battle against Eren, Levi knows this very well since he saw a similar position with Erwin without his arm, so if hes going to battle its because he can actually fight very well to atleast be at the same level of skill as Jean which is good enough to be of help this battle.

Port battle was handled really well on the anime they simply have the strongest powers and better weapons its impossible to lose someone in that battle.

Another issue I had in the manga was how Floch made it back from the boat but In the anime I was able to look at the scenery better and form a better opinion this time and I would assume he hooked on the top part of the boat and hanged around the top so he was never exposed to water, so no chance to freeze or drown, and since we never saw him getting hit on a critical Point then I cannot find any excuse as to say that he survived due to bad writing, he survived in a very possible to survive situation. Just like in the news youve seen people strangled in the middle of the ocean survive 25 days with nothing.
