Yeah, exactly, that's been my thought progression too between back when she first turned and now this.

I mean the way her expression changed in that moment she was held by Vulcan again made me think her reactions to Giovanni are like mental conditioning or something like that that makes her cling to him, especially with Giovanni's boasting they'd never be able to reverse it despite us occasionally seeing Lisa's moments of doubt. Like a reaction drilled into her or something that made her freak out when he was leaving her. Not to mention she still reacted this way despite him just before using her as a hostage even impaling her and then threatening to burn through her throat.

Oh yeah when the dad came up about the letter, other than it definitely effecting Levi they never actually clarified that so heck we still don't even really know for sure that they were or not or if it was Petra's hope in that letter to her dad.

Yeah, it's possible he only thought of it later but at least he came up with a good story reason later. Plus it's pretty useless against Titans. At least story wise I'm pretty sure it's revealed that it's because it was an off-shoot of ODM gear tech specifically made for killing and countering Scouts (since they were the ones venturing beyond the walls) and therefore purposefully withheld from the rest of the military this whole time by the royal family. Likely it was intended to give Kenny's squad the tech edge if any of the other military tried anything or learned too much.

"Mikasa's life! Armin's life! Everyone's life!...hinges on your being able to control this power!"

Oh yeah, this amazing moment. The voice acting and music combo here is glorious.

Oh yeah. Maybe a little something with Levi after the long walk after the part where her dad comes up to him. Or if something in the present would be hard to fit in since she and the others go out the way they do then maybe a nice little flashback for her would have been cool when Levi had to drop her body and give up the piece of her uniform he intended to bring back.

Oh yeah, this ep has one hell of an amazing, thrilling cliffhanger ending. And our first view of Hange, Levi, and Levi Squad.

Same

Yeah, I definitely didn't remember it being right in episode 2

The crazy one has arrived. Mom with that gloating face, but doesn't realize Crona's also aiming to replace her.

Damn he kinda will too. And then get taken, though we still haven't seen the rest of what happened to him.

Yup, not afraid of her own death, afraid of everyone else's death.

TOGETHER WE'LL CHANGE THE WORLD

Yup

Getting Ray on board. There's Emma's goal to take everyone.

Oh yeah, good catch.

Dat hug. Slick move Emma. Risky but good play.

Better be ready to play that poker face the moment you face mom

A tracker and dropping that threat.

Yup! she's great!

Another great UVERworld OP. I almost forgot they did it since we didn't get it as an OP last episode, so no wonder it just reminded me of two of the great Gundam 00 and Arslan openings they did.

Damn yeah now that's a nightmare

Holy shit that's a lot of filler. Hopefully at least some of them are like this one that at least felt like it was kinda part of the war.

YEAH!
