The alarm bells certainly went off in my head when see blows of Bertolt’s speech about loyalty, which may lead to the reveal that she and her mysterious father’s true motivations. We also got some rare insight into Annie’s possibly true motivations in relation to Reiner’s flashback.
In the story they are two sides of the same coin with similar motivations relating to their mothers and the fact that there younger self’s were determined and ignorantly hoping to ‘kill them all.’ It was also interesting to see Bertolt being the more outgoing and confident of the two of them when they were kids, this could be a result of either him trying to impress Annie who was nearby or because he was less conflicted back in Marley. Within this chapter, especially displayed in the final pages, Isayama creates an evident parallel between Eren and Reiner. The bulk of this month’s chapter was dedicated to fleshing out Reiner as a character and showing the readers his backstory. A wild theory that I lend slight credibility to is that it could be a time-traveling Eren but we don’t nearly have enough time to delve into that subject in this review. Therefore I really have no idea who it could be but I am convinced that it is a spy from Paradise because of the characters previous actions in his panels, in chapter 93. She already is missing and eye but I don’t think Isayama would also amputate one of her legs as well, rendering her completely useless in combat.
So I think we can rule Eren out completely and I don’t see it being Hange either. Why would they under any situation allow Eren to be in a position to be captured? That would mean that two titan shifting abilities would be lost and Marley would absolutely decimate the scouts. To me it couldn’t conceivably be Eren, because that would be the dumbest possible move by the inhabitants of Paradise.
Predominantly two names have been brought up as to who it could be Eren and Hange. Many readers have theorised that the soldier depicted in the panel is an Eldian spy from Paradise. This chapter was entirely used as a tool to develop Reiner and to make him more interesting and compelling so his inevitable death is more impactful.įirst of all let’s discuss and theorise on if a Paradise individual has infiltrated the Marley ranks and if someone has who are they? Now this entire conversation is a result of the panel displayed below. There were several points of interest established in this chapter including the possibility of someone from paradise having already infiltrated the Marley Army, Reiner’s backstory and teases of Annie’s true motivations. I suggest starting with chapter 51 and moving on from there.This month’s manga chapter for Attack on Titan continued the amazing run the manga has been on in recent months. There are some parts left out of that conversation in the anime. That conversation takes place in chapter 51 (volume 13) of the manga. Erwin declares that one day they will knock that wall hiding the truth down. Levi wonders if the truth is worth it, considering their losses. Erwin explains that it's because they are one step closer to the truth. After Pixis and Hange leave, Levi is shocked that Erwin seems pleased at the new information. Hange presents her theory and Levi remarks that he's been killing human beings for much of his life. The squad leaders have Connie report what they suspect about his village and family and then review what they know in light of the new information. Season 2 literally ends right after the conversation between Commander Erwin, Levi, Hange, and Pixis, where they start to formulate a theory (unproven at that point) about the true nature of regular titans.
