Pretty sure Kenshiro killed him, he must've been revived by the power of awesome.
Attack on Titan: Why Genocide Is Sometimes Kind of Okay

Another cool episode. Levi and Hanji were as great as we know them- Hanji's seiyuu in particular sounds both male and female so he suits her perfectly- and Eren's titan scenes were handled spectacularly. True, there were a few stills here and there but I'm getting used to those.
-
Man, that episode was fantastic. My only gripe (which is minor) was hearing Law's voice come out of Levi. At least Levi's a good character, though, so it balances out…
-
Just read MADBOX animator's twitter…. looks like we'll be getting recap episode soon. Meh.
At least they hope they can ease up the insane workload they're forcing on the animators with the break. -
Hopefully the delay of the OVA took some pressure off, too…
-
While I understand that a lot of pressure is being put on the animators, it's kind of a waste of precious time in my eyes to do a whole recap episode.
-
Attack on Ghibli, anyone?
-
Didn't they hire more animators a month ago? Wasn't that to beef up the animation team and distribute the work?
And Aohige, I'm curious… who makes your avatars? Or do you rip them straight from the Rance games and recolor the hanny?
-
I'm thoroughly ashamed I didn't start reading this sooner. Soooo gooooood.
-
^Same here, I just got recently into it.
I caught up with the manga a few days ago and today I watched episode 9. Now the waiting begins… -
So, the Seiyuu of Araragi-kun and Law is now also Levi, good choice
Holy Schitzel he is?! Cannot wait to watch episode 9!

One word: budget - can't use 30 animators like they did that one episode every episode
My avatar comes from various sources, games, illustrations, etc. This one in particular is a frame from an animated RQ promo video before the game came out. Hanny is sometimes recolored, sometimes simply blue to begin with. I recolored this one, originally green.

You can't NOT be a little gay for Levi. you just can't.

Just watched 9. Mindblown. Can't wait for 10. Bur since I'm ahead in the manga, there are no surprises.

Ah ok, I see I see. I thought maybe you got them commissioned, and I'd want to try editing my usual chibi-Alice Carroll avatar too.
Like every other thing nowadays, Aohige and his people have their own wiki article.
We should just rename it "Aohige" and see how long that lasts. xD
-
Sorry, i kept my previous post very short and it is lacking details, so i see why you ask^^.
"loud and annoying music"
Should be clear that i meant the Background music, is it? Well, what should i say about that. I was sometimes annoyed by the choice of the said music. Maybe because the music itself wasn't to my liking or it was inappropriate like when Eren passed the "ballance"…exam(or whatever you call it^^). It was exaggorated, imo. But overall, that's a minor "flaw"."annoying protagonist"
Yup, that he is. Everytime he was screaming, i got pissed. I can't stand it, especially when he screams for no reason(there are reasons of course, but no reason for me to sream like that). Not to mention the Eren and Armin duo…OH MY GOSH!Did i got "implied" wrong? Or why do you ask? I thought it also meant that the build up is FILLED with trashtalk, annoying dialogues and boring parts.
By "build up" i meant the way up to the action parts.I didn't meant it that way^^. I was only talking about the screaming part, which, i just notice, fits Usopp more. So Eren is even more annnoying than Usopp...yup, that does cut it better.
I do like luffy and usopp very much, btw.…
I can always understand opinions and preferences that differ and see someone else's perspective but that particular paragraph is one of the few cases where opinions can just be flat out wrong. I can't believe you wrote that. You sound like some hipster reviewer that tries to sound edgy by hating something that most people enjoy.
The only issue with the anime at the moment (well not yet) that I can see is Eren turning into the one everyone relies on since he can turn into a Titan. What you wrote however, well, I'd just rather not comment since I'd very easily imagine it could turn into my opinion is better than yours and we run in circles without changing one's mind.

Don't worry, there are stuff that even a titan can't do, I am 99% sure that won't be the case, not anytime soon.

also everyone is a titan!!!///conspiracy

^Your mom is a titan.
….. I laughed when that actually came true. I'm sorry Connie, but couldn't help it.

WAIT I REMEMBER NOW.
I so wanted to post about this thing but I forgot.anyways, we all remember that thing about the titans coming from INSIDE of the wall AKA the people from these villages who were ones normal turned into titans. SO how do you think normal people turn into titans? was that ever discussed here? if yes how many pages do I have to go back?
-
Even if we wanted to discuss there's absolutely no basis to start from, or i still don't know jack s**t about norse mythology.
-
For all we know the big ape titan brought Super-Titan-Serum-Syringes and went around sticking the needles up every villager's ass.
Or dance in the middle of dey village with voodoo curses, mon

Fearing Ymir lost her humanity when she transformed, Bert was going to bite his hand. So their cover would have been blown anyway.
-
^nice catch. And once again I'm reminded of how fugly Ymir's titan form is. At the same time Christa- Historia- comes to mind and I want to know more about her backstory. Then I read Aohige mentioning the ape titan and my interest is going toward him and the place he's come from. Aaah so many mysteries yet so little answers.
-

Thanks for the pointer, I jotted it down. Also, a few pages later (40) Eren says it's his first titan kill as a legion member. LOL
! I assume it's because he's always gone with his titan form.

I had a quick question for everyone: Do we know the last time that anyone has seen Eren's dad? Was his last chronological appearance in the manga the scene where he injects Eren (in Eren's flashback)?
If so, then here is my theory: The reason Eren's father has been missing is because
! Eren ate him that night when he first transformed.

Yeah, and the reason why Mihawk hasn't appeared since the time-skip is because Zoro killed him. [/sarcasm]
Eren's father is clearly at the very heart of the titan mystery with his secret research/experiments in the basement and all, so it's doubtless that he'll make a re-appearance later as the story progresses. In simpler words, he's pretty much the same case as Hohenheim being gone from Edwards' life for so long.
anyways,
WUT IZ DIS CUTENESSSSSS

So there must be a little embryo or fetus inside the back of the neck of that one.
I do see how Eren's father could have been set up for that type of role, but I find it a little cliche. While I guess that this characterization could drive the plot a little more, I think it would be more disturbing and ultimately a better way to drive Eren's character development if I'm right instead.
Edit: IIRC, Eren's dad was really sad during that scene. Of course this is probably because he knows that he is about to do something really horrible/unethical to his own son. I think, however, that there is more to it - he seems to know that he is saying goodbye, and goodbye forever. I wouldn't be surprised if he has recordings/letters or something like that for Eren in the basement along with his research materials. That way, him being gone does not necessarily remove his influence over the plot progression, especially regarding his centrality to the Titan issue, as you put it.
Edit: I think this is the last chronological appearance of Eren's dad. Link. He says the injection will cause memory loss. He is giving the injection in what seems to be a remote place in the middle of the forest. Seems like he knew that Eren would go wild after receiving the injection and tried to put as many people as he could out of harm's way. Sacrificing not only his life, but his son's health, sanity, and body for a cause must mean that this titan secret is pretty intense.

Next chapter spoilers
Credits to Kanon from AnimeSuki
! Eren wakes up. He's surprised that his arms aren't regenerating at all. Same for Ymir. Looks like Reiner did it.
! Eren chews on his arms to try to turn back into a titan, but Ymir stops him by telling him that they're surrounded by titans.
! Ymir asks what Reiner and Berthold intend to do with them, and they reply that they want to go back to their hometown to repeat their conversation (?).
! Eren wonders how they can escape and what happened to the Scouting Legion.
! Ymir asks Reiner how the titans at the castle could move at night, since the titans here can't. Reiner replies that "you should know, right Ymir?"
! Eren wonders why Ymir can become a titan. For now, he decides to get some information from the other three.
! But as Eren wonders what and how to do this, Ymir asks Reiner for water. Reiner rejects her, citing the circumstances. [Eren?] realises that he hasn't eaten or drank anything since yesterday morning. "Well, in the end the wall wasn't broken, so let me take a break. The talk of [raising of status?] can come later," he says jokingly.
! [This is a big run on sentence so I'm just going to paraphrase] Without a care in the world, Reiner starts talking about Christa and how she almost made him forget that he's a titan. Naturally, Eren gets mad - "don't screw with me you bastard, if you want to die just say so!"
! Ymir tells Eren that there's nothing normal about [him?], and that if he knows something he shouldn't stay quiet, he should do something.
! Ymir admonishes Reiner with "you're not a soldier, are you? We are." Reiner replies with "yeah, you're right" and covers his face with one hand.
! Ymir comments on Reiner's confusion. "I thought it was strange. To risk your life breaking the wall, then saving Connie. You were unaware of this contradiction. You probably wanted to be the soldier whose goal was to break the wall, but while playing the role of a soldier, you forgot what your goal really was. As a result, your heart broke, you altered your memories, and your speech no longer meshed [?]." Reiner looks at Ymir in amazement.
! Ymir goes to continue talking, but Reiner tells her to shut up. Ymir withdraws, saying "sorry, I pushed too hard,"
! Naturally, there's no way Eren understood that explanation.
! "Why are you playing the victim? That day we first enlisted, with you, me, Berthold and Armin sitting in a circle, why did you listen to our story?"
! "Hey, Berthold, you sycophantic lackey. What did you think when I told you my mother was eaten by a titan?"
"I thought it was unfortunate," says Berthold, as though he was someone else.
! Eren is flabbergasted and condemns them with "ah…I finally get it. You guys aren't soldiers or warriors or anything. You're just murderers. Genocidal demons." Reiner replies "I know that already, I don't need you to tell me," and Eren replies "then you shouldn't be worrying about it like a human."
! Ymir explains how Monkey Titan is the reason the Titans are spawning within the walls. She says he is doing this for reconnaissance to judge how strong the humans are.
Ymir tells Eren that Bert and Reiner want to head to where the Monkey Titan is because that will lead them back to their homeland.
Ymir refuses to explain further. But says defeating those two titans doesn't mean anything.
Eren asks who the real enemy is.
Ymir about to tell but Reiner stops her.
Reiner - Do you think this world has a future?
! Reiner - If you know that much then think about your position. You could help us, come to our side.
! Ymir - Trust you? Impossible. You can't and don't trust me.
! Reiner - No, we can trust you. Your purpose is to protect Christa.
! There is a panel of an angel looking back. Ymir changes her expression.
! Reiner - I know we can agree on that. You may think I'm joking, but I want to protect Christa as much as you do. Or do you put more trust in Eren?
! Ymir - what?
Eren and Ymir look at each other. A streak of sweat over Ymir's forehead.
! Reiner - You wanted to use Eren to escape out of here. You thought if you were taken by us, there was no chance of you surviving.
Truthfully, you are right.
Even if you are with us, I can't guarantee your safety.
But if it's only Christa, we might be able to save her.
Either Christa's safety or the short life you have left. You have to choose.
! A confused Eren asks once again, who is the enemy?!
! Ymir, "who knows..." -
! I'm like Eren confused as hell.
tough I'm curious in this angel figure -
That tease was kinda frustrating to be honest.
-
Here are the images in case you wanna see them
! prolly not in order
-
ahahahahahahahahahaha oh Ryner ahahahahahahahahah cough ahahahahahahahahaha
! The image above, Ryner is basically going dude Christa so digs me I mean look at the way she treats me special I'm sure she has hots for me blah blah blah.
! .. no bro, Christa doesn't have hots for you.
And FUCK YOU from interrupting Ymir when she was about to spill beans on who the enemy is!EDIT: Oh, nevermind, the spoiler was already posted. Damn I translated for no reason lol
Also just read the full pages for the above scene….! Ryner is completley batshit. Like schizo. To the point of near-dual personality.
-
Yeah, that teasing is getting annoying. It would be better weekly, but this is monthly.
-
! Reiner is full on bipolar now
Eren is like "these guys…....." -
Okay before the chapter is out let's put this here.
-
If One Piece's "That man!" moments are annoying, then I don't what to call these or Dorohedoro's. . .
Not the biggest fan of the last 2 chapters. For a monthly manga, this pace is a little too slow for my taste, but oh well.
I'll still wait for the full thing before passing on judgement.
-
Damn, for once spoilers are on Animesuki first. Damn cliffhangers. Damn monthly release schedule. Damn…
At this rate, the anime's going to have to go on hiatus after its first two cours. The conversations these past two chapters probably would take 10 minutes at most, which would mean a LOT of chapters adapted into one episode. I can already imagine the manga would gain a ton of readers before the anime's eventual sequel (or Brotherhood sequel) within the decade. Again, FMA parallels abound.

This seems a lot more interesting than the last chapter at least. Also damn; another one of those "Clover" moments. Something really important is going to be said but-cut off

Thats probably whats going to happen. At least I know Isayama knows where he's goin gwith the story now. leading up to the whole Ymir thing I thoghut he pulled a Kishimoto and ran out of steam/ideas and was stalling for time untill he figured it out (and ended up saying "fuck it, I'm trolling now.") I know he's back on track though.
Although this is why I'm liking the Manwhas more and more, Korean fans don't put up with that teasing stuff AT ALL, they want the plot to keep moving at a decent pace (which is why Tower of God is so good).
