++++ Please Read ++++ Didn't expect this to blow up, so want to add something and set some things straight. The OST in this video is NOT OFFICIAL, it is a FANMADE rendition by Samuel Kim (read the description of the video) that uses the OST from the trailer of the final season. That song was also used in the first episode of this season. MAPPA is NOT in charge or to "blame" for the music that was used in the actual episode. That was the sound designer's decision, which is still the same person that picked the music for the previous seasons (Masafumi Mima, if i am not mistaken). Please don't send any hate towards him or studio MAPPA, they did a great job with episode 5 and i understand why they chose 2Volt at the end of it. Eren's transformation is supposed to be a sudden turn of events without a long-build up. I made this video because PERSONALLY, i had different expectations after reading the manga and because i really enjoyed Samuel Kim's arrangement. I expected this episode to have a similar impact as episode 6 of season 2, in which Reiner and Berthold transformed. YOUSEEBIGGIRL made that scene iconic and until this day is my favorite scene of the entire series. Chapter 100 (Declaration of War) had a similar impact to me 3 years ago when it came out in the manga, so of course i set my expectations way too high. I made this edit mainly for myself and for other people who felt the same. Also i changed the title of the video, because it isn't my place to "fix" something and i don't want to contribute to MAPPA getting more hate for this episode, because it was great despite everything. They really don't deserve it, so please be kind. Thanks. Edit: Yes i am aware that i didn't do such a great job with this edit, i literally just pasted the music over the episode very shortly after its release. The timing isn't the best the video quality is lacking, it's a bit too loud and honestly, i just happened to be lucky to get this many views. There are MUCH better edits out there with better timing, like the one from Espritviril. You should check it out! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g95los-j0ri4fXU.html

S1 and S2: Hot minded Eren. S3: Calm Eren. S4: Big brain Eren.

"To the enemy forces of paradis island, THIS IS DECLARATION OF WAR!" Eren: *FIRST BLOOD*

Imagine declaring war and being one of the first to die

Annie, Pieck and Porco: we can't transform underground Eren: Hold my sasageyo

It went from “HEY EREN I’M ACTUALLY-“ To “HEY REINER I’M ACTUALLY-“

I love how Eren in Titan form looks more like a monster than before. Especially considering what he’s about to do.

This theme has officially become Eren and the yeagerists theme after episode 13.

Eren is such a gentleman. He waited for the declaration of war.

Can we just take a moment and appreciate the voice actor that completely nailed tybur’s voiceee

Willy got clapped seconds after declaring war. They got what they wanted, War. It's payback time. Epic entrance by Eren, history repeats itself. Anime of the Year hands down

"I dont wanna die!" Well too fucking bad

Reiner: please kill me Eren: no Willy: I don’t want to die Eren: N O

"The one who declares war, should be the first casualty" - Ned Stark

Manga readers: "sounds better in the manga" Ps: I came from the future to say that episode 65 was also beautiful shit !!! change my mind!

0:56 - 1:16 HOLY SHIT I got some HUGE goosebumps. This music combined with this scene is criminally intense damn

I didn't even think of the OST watching this scene, I was just completely blown away by Eren transforming, and tearing through the building to get to Tybur, it was the peak of badass

finally something thats not youseebiggirl

Willy: Declares War* Eren: *Rip and Tear, Until it is Done*

I love how Eren Acknowledges that they're the same but still an enemy that needs to be destroyed. Just like what Bertholdt told Armin "None of u have done anything wrong - You're not devils but you all have to die

I don't really mind the original, but this is better.

People needs to realize that the reiner bertolt reveal was like a betrayal one that was unexpected. This scene was a proclamation of war so the OST fits more although I can agree on that they could've used better OST but... It is what it is

I really like that Eren waited for Willy to declare war against the Paradis Island before attacking. And you know what I find very interesting in this episode that when Willy declared war against Paradis , at that time all of the audience was cheering, clapping and were very happy but when Eren attacked them then they started running, I mean WTF, you were the only guys who were happy about war and now when it started why are you running, go and fight, this was the only thing which you wanted just some seconds ago.

Why the fuck do schools make us read Shakespeare, when Isayama and his masterpiece exist?

The climax of the song syncing with his transformation is TOP TIER

I don't really hate the original OST they used, but damn this is so much better. If they used this, the scene could've been on the same level of hype as Reiner and Bertholdt transformations.

I find this drastically better than the original one, which is just stunning

After watching this scene with different OSTs i came out with the conclusion that this is the best OST for this scene

This scene combined with the ost will forever be canon in my head

I didn't wanna see ysbg, i wanted this one

I understand the decision they made with this scene. But come on guys, there’s no way this doesn’t gives you chills everytime you listen to it.

Fiction peaked here

I wouldn’t be surprised if they continued this scene next episode since it was a cliffhanger and most shows would continue the scene and they will probably use this music too.

Kruger: Falco, you got a minute? Falco: Sure I do! Boy, aren't i a good lad helping a veteran comunicate with his family. Kruger: I am from Paradis Island and also the Attack Titan. Falco: You must be tired.

I just keep moving forward until 80% of my enemies are destroyed.

Bro uploaded this masterpiece then vanished 😭

youseebiggirl is about betrayal so it doesn’t fit with this scene. But this OST is definitely better than the one they originally used in declaration of war. ( My opinion )

This is a million times better than the song they chose

this is the best ost change video ive seen

0:50 Goosebumps MAPPA did a jaw-dropping job on the animation, Samuel Kim did an amazing job on the score, and you sir, you did an awesome job on the edit. They really need to re-score this scene for the Blu-ray release.

Yes, I'm disappointed with the OST, but I'll just keep moving foward.

Gotta love when Eren was about to transform, the first thing that came to Reiner’s mind is to save Falco

This is the version that will livve rent free in my mind

0:56 is byfar my favorite part

I don't mind the music as is but I'm realising now that this track specifically would've been a much better fit, not only does it sound fucking awesome but thematically it fits perfectly, this is theme has essentially become Reiner's theme so by using this track for Erens transformation it perfectly illustrates Erens line that him and Reiner are the same Edit: actually now that I think about it I'm not sure, yes this arrangement by Samuel Kim sounds awesome and it fits thematically but it also has alot of buildup, which detracts from Willys speech and also doesn't make much sense when you consider that Erens transformation here is very sudden, we saw it coming but it was sudden nonetheless. I like this version and the original equally now, good shit either way

Who's the mad man who thought the official ost would fit in this scene when they have so many epic ost ?

0:58 *OH MY GOD THE TIMING IS SO FUCKING GOOD! GIVE ME MORE!!!*

1:00 to the end gave me goosebumps 😭🤤

This one sounded grandier if that make sense.

Imagine declaring war and the enemy appears behind you

"This is a declaration of war!" > Becomes the first casualty 5 seconds later LMAO

His calm voice gets me everytime it makes his action & words more insane

I highly believe that this scene will be re-used in the next episode with this ost. Doesnt this happen oftenly with anime in major scenes that end as cliffhangers? It's just the OST fitted as an end for an episode. The current ost in this vid suits as an OST at the start of the episode or amid, to have us all tense and stuff. If they re-use the scene with that ost, it will be amazing.

1:11 - 1:12 I like how MAPPA added a small detail of someone getting hit in the head by the rubble

Willy : THIS IS A DECLARATION OF WAR Eren : My time has come

1:13 Just me or Eren's roar sounds EXTRA powerful?

this is it, this is the best edit, YouSeeBigGirl doesn't really fit there

The OST wasn’t that bad, but this is truly brilliant. They might use this OST in the next episode instead. Edit: called it.

IMAGINE SEEING THIS SCEAN IN THEATER

The original is good, but this is better

Grishas ghost flying overhead: “that’s my fucking boy!”

I understand why people wanting youseebiggirl or any other ost but I feel that the ost used in the anime suits better to the "Declaration of War".. Like I (Eren) will now declare the war... I will move forward (basically suiting with the opposites between Willy and him) Also to point out.. It's supposed to be a cliffhanger and a unexpected sort of transformation for the people and obviously the music sets in beautifully in the ending cliffhanger of episode and there's a full chance of having a different ost next episode for the same transformation.

The best thing about this OST is that it brings epicness as well as FEAR both at the same time

This was the best

I didn’t mind the soundtrack until I heard this...

I know everyone wanted youseebiggirl, but I think this would have fit better, but thats just me

“DO YOU WANT A TOTAL WAR!” *”YES!”* perterbator starts playing

Imagine the last thing you see is a titan SHIFTER chewing upon you as soon as you declare war

I’m hoping they replay this with the ost before the opening begins

IMO, at first I also hated the original OST in this scene, but after rewatching it, I think it's way better, especially for anime-onlies. The buildup from the OST from this video (and also YSBG) makes it obvious that Eren will do something big, which takes way from his unpredictability during the entire episode. Manga readers love the scene with this OST because they know what is going to happen, which makes it more epic overall. But honestly, what I loved about Eren in the manga when I read these chapters was exactly this: his unpredictability.

War is not as heroic as the original one may sound, but it sounds as horrifyingly as this does.

Audience watching: "Damn they really went above and beyond with the visual effect."

I can NOT believe they didn't use this track when it would've made this scene 1000% better, been slowly working on the leaked audio and decided to wait for the episode so I can hear it more clearly and make the best possible cover and they DIDNT USE IT LMFAO!!! 😭😭😭

I watched the two versions and i came to this conclusion : the original one fits better with the intention of the episode and its atmosphere. This one is more epic but doesn't fit with the buildup of the episode. The sadness and the depth of Reiner's confession were perfect without any music and it shows better the coldness of Eren's mind : no more epic music, no more songs, just war. And war is painfully silent.

i love how eren looked reiner in the eyes when he transformed unlike when reiner transformed for the first time we saw he didnt look eren directly in the eyes

That day the rest of humanity remembered how badly they fucked up.

Goes to show the importance of music in movies and tv shows

LMAO SO I WASNT THE ONLY ONE DISAPPOINTED BY THE CHOICE OF OST THERE

S1,S2,S3 Eren: Call an ambulance S4 Eren: *But not for me*

Playing Final Fantasy 16, specific scenes really took me back to this moment. I think those who played FF16 would know what I mean.

0:57 mmm yes climax moment

I’m sad. Not because AoT is ruined, but because other people are disappointed. Liven up people, the War Hammer is next week. Have some excitement??

Of all the edited ost for this scene, this is my favorite! It suits its purpose well, the build up for the big moment, the military closing in on eren position, it's just perfect.

Man I don’t know how you did it, but you changed Eren’s second roar (when it zooms on his face) and it makes it even more epic

I knew the scene didn’t feel that epic during his transformation. All the great moments have music that matches.

I couldn’t help but grin while watching this masterpiece which you’ve created

Eren in Season 4 : I am not in danger, I am the danger.

I can't believe I managed to watch this scene multiple times in 7 days because of this OST.

Eren: We aren’t going to die just because a king was fine with it. If you were ordered to die, would you do it? (Reference to season 1)

Yup this ost would have been perfect. But hey lets enjoy the show nonetheless. The war has just begun.

My memory has replaced the original scene ost with this one

GOT ME GOOSEBUMPS😭😭

the original ost had no build up or change in feeling, plus it didn't help that i could barely hear it in the background. this moment was supposed to mark a shift in the season, and music plays a heavy role in that

I wouldnt say this is "fixed" but in my own opinion I feel the silence before the Transformation is a better build-up than opposed to Music just telling you somethin is bouta happen lol

Idek what the world would do without Samuel Kim’s beautiful production 🥺

The way the music builds up really matches the show

I'm so sad. I watched the trailer a million times for the OST and was extremely looking forward to this. Could have been one of the best episodes ever.

Fact:- you've watched this several times now

This is better than the original

Ahhhhhhhh the music used is perfect, thanks mate for this
