Amazing episode. Really sad that the three protecting Eren died, especially Petra. Titan vs Titan battle was intense as hell. That female titan is strong and really smart. Mikasa at the end was a boss and now her and Levi are going after it. Cannot wait for next week.

Oh god. I hate how everybody got killed. What hurt the most though was how Levi looked at Petra's dead body for just a few seconds longer than the rest of the squad. Even though my OTP is Levi x Eren, that really hurt, right in the feels.

WOOOOH! Best episode yet no doubt.

When are we going to find out who the female titan is??!


Deduction-wise, it's rather clear to many who would that be.

But no matter, 'coz they will reveal it out soon. VERY SOON.

This series is trying to tell me that experience means jack-shit compared to miraculous talent and a handful combat experience?


1) The Battle of Trost was just a bit more than "a handful".

2) There are Formula 1 drivers who have spent years in the sport and finished hundreds of races. Most of them have never won a world championship and some of them have never even won a race. Lewis Hamilton finished runner up by 1 point in his first ever F1 season, ahead of his much more experienced team mate, two time world champion Fernando Alonso.

This is a thing that actually happens in real life; it's not that much of a stretch. Experience is not the be all and end all. I could find examples from pretty much any sport.

Not really... she wasn't fighting back because her arms were still fucked up, but he was barely landing any hits. As proven by her OHKO at the end, she was pretty much in control the whole time.

Probably when you give it 5 seconds of thought. How many blonde blue eyed female characters are there?


Oh my god, Krista is the female titan.

Rip squad, specially Petra. Levi´s face when he saw her smashed my heart.
Great action, and better pacing. Is it confirmed whether the anime will end with the Female Arc or not?


Unconfirmed, but given number of episodes remaining, general consensus is that it will end on chapter 34. Perfect place really; wraps up the female titan arc nicely and ends on a cliffhanger so steep the Halo 2 marketing team would be jealous.

during the fight between the two titans, did the female titan feel guilty about something such as killing levis squad bc the way she looked at titan eren seems to me like its guilt / sadness but im not sure about what. or maybe im looking to into this lols. i read the manga but forgot the details.

Had to sign-in to comment on this. HAD TO! If anyone here has been with anime long enough to have watched it when it aired all those years ago (long before Shippuuden came to be), I'm sure they'd agree: this episode is equivalent to ep 133 of Naruto. After SO MUCH talking and SO LITTLE action, Naruto and Sasuke went at it for an entire episode, with animation so unusually fluid it was engraved into my brain.

I know why the titan fight was so exciting, btw--was able to put my finger on it when watching it in animated form: TITANS DON'T TALK! For budget and/or time wasting reasons, it's normal in anime for a few blows to be exchanged before stopping for a chit-chat. And though there was some internal monologuing breaking up the battle of the titans (can't remember if it was the same dealio in the manga), when the punches started getting exchanged... GAWD!

The only manga, panel-to-panel, non-stop action fight (with competitive fighting style/brawling) I've ever seen similar to the Eren vs. FT sequence was a fight near the start of Eden: Endless World. NEED MORE!

Only complaints with this ep:

#1: 3-min recaps again. Tbh though, I'm willing to forgive considering the FT recap got me pumped for the events that followed... JUST THIS ONCE!
#2: Even in the manga, the decapitation 'slice' made little sense 'cause it wasn't shown. Was it hand or foot (had to be foot for range, I guess...); WHY DON'T YOU SHOW!?

Definitely one of the greatest anime episodes ever aired. It won't be the titan reveal, Eren's death, Mikasa's realisation, Eren's boulder or the earlier FT rampage people will remember: it'll be this all-in-one epic that gave action fans what they were craving, as well as killing off non-background characters. EPIC!

For Gunther, I believe it's actually the metal blade that's part of the standard Survey Corps uniform. If it was a strike using the body, then it's possible that his head wasn't decapitated, but that the neck was snapped by force from a well-placed strike.

For Eren, it's a simple matter of the FT strength super-boost. I need to re-watch for sure, but it may be possible that the FT simply used that hardening skill of hers.

I was anticipating that Eren would win, but it seems like the female titan outclasses him by many levels however. Also, the fight this episode definitely shows some semblance to a certain scene during the first few episodes xD. Eren sure dies a lot.

A few points I neglected to mention:

1: More so in the manga than the anime, if memory serves, the titan fight came across like a battle between a physically superior male and technically gifted woman... which, titan forms aside, is what the fight was. Eren used his pure power to press the FT back; the FT countered as he wasted his energy. Always found that male/female aspect of the fight interesting.

2: It wasn't Petra's death that got to me; it was the old 'horse 'n tongue' fella. It must be terrible to be the last one left standing, and yet he still tried to finish it. A MAN'S MAN! His logic when being chased by the FT earlier also endeared him to me--when he wanted to attack, rather than run, after seeing how deadly of a threat the FT posed.

I know what she did (I had a lot of time to think after reading the manga AGES ago): she hardened her skin and did a slicing motion with her foot... somehow catching Eren off-guard as he just stood there. But since the kick itself was never shown and only the end result, it was very much 'WTF!?'--even more so in the manga. I'd hoped they'd fix it in the anime by showing the actual kick as it sliced... but no.

...They showed Van Damme do his kicks as he knocked down trees in Kickboxer. WHY NOT HERE!?

O-Oh My...This was so intense. Petra </3. I love it every time Eren transforms. Looks like he figured out who it was
I like that foreshadowing and I'm an anime-only watcher o.o. FT is OP though with hardening skin. She needs to be nerf'd. At least she has style. Love/Hate relationship with her. Eren is eaten again ._. Mikasa and Levi better kick her ass.

A pretty action packed episode. It was so sad when each of Levi's team members had to die in various ways. It felt more depressing when Levi had to go by each corpse. I can't wait for the Mikasa and Levi team action!

And for that purpose I am deliciously satisfacted that you were wrong because you didnt think at all at the result and , it seems , you went fanboy thinking.
Ofcourse he dies alot he plays the role of the damsel in distress ever since the beginning .
When he was lazy , who was there to do the work for him?
Mikasa.
When he had problems who was there for him?
Mikasa mainly.
On the field who took care of him like a cargo full of gold?
Levi's division and , now , surpsingly MIKASA.

Please dont give me the bullshit with "he doesnt want to" because the intention doesnt matter ,its the act itself what matters and all he did , and it seems the author itself is showing that , he is the damsel in distress between all the characters.

Now , go ahead and give me that "but Eren did that and this" things I already know . I'll give him a bash everytime I see someone fanboying over him.

The fight between the titans was good but eren lacked the fking brain like always...he's the typical protagonist you see in every action anime except the part he gets his ass saved like always..its like he begs for another power-up.

MMA. That's the word your looking for to describe the awesome. Some call it Cage Fighting, No holds barred or egregiously, Ultimate Fighting (UFC is a Championship promotion, not the actual name of the sport itself). Go watch those if you want MMA action.

Or maybe I'll suggest some mangas that have MMA instead. Try All Rounder Meguru- Made by the same author that made Eden: Endless World, Endo Hiroki. Summing it up, its about an amateur MMA fighter's life. Also try Teppuu. Like All Rounder Meguru, but with girls.

The series was already good on its own, but when it integrated MMA into its fights, I just knew this was the series for me.

This won't be the last UFC: Titans fight too if that's what your thinking. It really takes it up to eleven in the second season. There's still an inevitable second clash in the first season of course (if you pay attention to the opening).

I'll address your complaints.
#1: Recaps, this is a pet peeve of the series. You are not alone.

#2: By showing what actually happened, its going to make it WAY too obvious who the FT is (if it wasn't obvious enough). It's elabourated on after the events during the... (manga spoilers, begone anime only watchers!)

This chapter really had me shaking on my seat! All of it! Just when I wasn't expecting the type of emotions I felt at the beginning of it ... Out of excitement I was just like this ...



The titans' fight was also awesome, but I felt a bit desperate with Eren's low level. I expected him doing her some more damage, but hell! She's a freaking bitch! I've really come to hate her! Lots more after those deads! Yeah, RIP to them all.

One hell of a chapter this was! Loved it.

Noooo, Petra ;_; it's so horrible.

I was pretty invested in this episode, I was basically thinking KILL THIS BITCH the whole time after Levi squad got stomped on. I was rooting for Eren but Erwin did say he was an amateur so I couldn't really expect him to win.

Levi and Mikasa next? Anything could happen with this titan, I'm looking forward to it.
