ben0119 Posted September 10, 2023 Posted September 10, 2023 A steam train. Nice. Wait so their families are still alive on this train? They've got a plan to steal an airship? To do what? Annnnnd there's the Rumbling. Son of a bitch.
DangerMouse Posted September 10, 2023 Posted September 10, 2023 Yep, Reiner and Annie's mom and dad both did the same thing
ben0119 Posted September 10, 2023 Posted September 10, 2023 Another last stand. This time with airships and artillery. That commander is speaking the truth. This is what their hatred lead to. Drove Eren to this. 2
DangerMouse Posted September 10, 2023 Posted September 10, 2023 Fail to hit the nape and it won't do much in the end
OwlChemist81 Posted September 10, 2023 Author Posted September 10, 2023 I guess this just establishes no one is even safe in the air?
DangerMouse Posted September 10, 2023 Posted September 10, 2023 Well shit, manifesting copy Beast Titans to THROW 1
AnimationFan14 Posted September 10, 2023 Posted September 10, 2023 Bet you wished you saved a spare airship now don't you Squidward? 1
ben0119 Posted September 10, 2023 Posted September 10, 2023 Eren really has turned into abomination in that form. The bombs are landing, taking out some Colossals, but... Ah hell... Eren summoned the Beast Titan and took out all the airships! I didn't think he could do that! 1 1
DangerMouse Posted September 10, 2023 Posted September 10, 2023 Haha Levi sees a Beast and ready to go 1 2
OwlChemist81 Posted September 10, 2023 Author Posted September 10, 2023 THAT WAS WILD!!! Eren, you're not free! 3
DangerMouse Posted September 10, 2023 Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) Damn, that was pretty good! Edited September 10, 2023 by DangerMouse
ben0119 Posted September 10, 2023 Posted September 10, 2023 ANIMATION! MUSIC! Is the Beast Titan hardened or just a different color? NOOOOOO cliffhanger from hell! 1

Oh ok. Because the way this power works, I don't think you can change what happens, much less do a bunch of "trial runs." If some sort of time travel shenanigans are done to get out of this, even just preventing the Rumbling, that would feel like a whole other level of shark jumping to me.

Oh neat! So it was SiM that did this ending too? It sounded like it but wasn't sure since I didn't catch when that credit came up. 1

Yeah, like you said, based on the way this power works I think that's the thing, like you said, at some point he made the choice he'd even go so far as activate the rumbling to protect his friends on the island and there was no changing it, he didn't get to see "multiple paths to try", the way we saw it played out is exactly how he saw when touching Historia that second time.

DangerMouse Posted September 10, 2023 Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) Ohhhh shit, it just hit me re-watching. I think the reason for the unexpected color of the Beast Titan is due to the power of the Warhammer too and not just that it's hardened (maybe both?). The coloring does look like the hardening power and it's also reminiscent of the Warhammer, and this time it fully registered that it's also actually "generating the ammo" (like we know the Warhammer power can do) that it was throwing at the airships each time sparks came from its hand, since otherwise it wouldn't have had anything on hand to be able to throw.

The Beast titan basically becomes one with Eren and the founding titan so this theory could be correct. Edited September 10, 2023 by AnimationFan14 1
OwlChemist81 Posted September 10, 2023 Author Posted September 10, 2023 We have a review on this special, from when the subtitled version came out over 6 months ago: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/attack-on-titan-final-season-the-final-chapters/episode-1/.195583 - 5 STARS!! But seriously, read the whole thing! 1
EmpressAngel Posted September 10, 2023 Posted September 10, 2023 A decade later, this is still the best thing to come out of Attack on Titan and I will die on that hill. 1
OwlChemist81 Posted September 11, 2023 Author Posted September 11, 2023 Well, it's official, I'm going to see SiM tonight!! 1
DangerMouse Posted September 12, 2023 Posted September 12, 2023 That's one hell of an expression when Eren was finishing his monologue thinking about whether or not the King of the Walls was right to choose death for the island over fighting back, since it would have meant less dead, when Eren says "But an ending like that, I can't accept it".

Thanks, wonder if we'll get confirmation. And it should be possible since Eren absorbed the Warhammer back in Liberio. 1
rpgamer Posted September 16, 2023 Posted September 16, 2023 I'm just going to say this now, while I struggle to get through this whiny twat's opening monologue, the only reason I'm gonna begrudgingly stomach through this is because I know how it ends and I just want to see my vindication at long last. I will never understand how this one got popular enough to make it big. 1

I will never understand how this one got popular enough to make it big. The first season did all the heavy lifting with great action animation, an interesting enough premise, an excellent score, a gripping dramatic pull and plenty of brutal deaths. Though some people who didn’t love the first season did like the turn toward politics in season 3. It could have been even bigger if they didn’t take 4 years to do a 2nd season but it managed to keep its hooks into people via the manga and the eventual anime seasons.
