A lot of people overlook this but Eren's grandparents are most likely locked up because when zeke betrayed Marley they probably put them in jail by accusation

It's not, "He saves the boy because he has to." It's, "He saves the boy because that's just who he is." The future isn't pre-determined and set in stone... but who he is as a person is set in stone. He can't change the future, because he can't change who he is at his core and how he'll react when faced with the situation.

Fun fact, when hange first sees Erwin in the after life, you see the back of Sasha’s head because she’s looking up at her comrades in the plane.

I can't help but get reminded of the moment Montana thought Hange had died in Return to Shiganshina, and was saying that they at least should have fought a Titan and went out in a blaze of glory. Your wish got granted.

"Dedicate your heart" - hearing Levi say that for the first time was on another level. The whole final moment between him and Hanji were. You can see in Levi's eyes when he realizes Hanji's end has come. He can't do anything to stop them, it's inevitable. You can feel the weight of loss on Levi's shoulders throughout the whole season, the loss of all his comrades, his friends. This death will just add on to the pile of never-ending weight. What a beautiful character.

I don’t think Annie actually could’ve left the crystal at any time, I think she was just making the point that Armin would’ve had no way of knowing whether she could.

We are SO HYPED TO KEEP WATCHING THIS AMAZING SERIES WITH YOU ALL!! It's been a LONG wait for the Dub, but BOY was this fantastic

I don't think any moment in this show has made me cry as much as Hange's sacrifice did. Seeing Hange be so excited, having the same wonder towards Titans once again, giving everyone a chance by killing the Colossals and being the person we once knew before season 4 already made me misty eyed, but Levi's final conversation and words to Hange were the final blow. Hearing him say the motto of the Scouts for the first time and saying "So long", like he expects to see Hange again completely ruined me. Seeing Erwin, Moblit and the others again certainly didn't help. What a perfect sendoff to such a beloved character.

Biggest character growth in this show is Kenny for coming around to understand where Floch's coming from

I give tons of respect to reactors who remembers Moblit..

33:17 *"Two fingers are all I need to get the job done" - Levi* They know what they're doing ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I think Eren not controlling his friends’ titans is a lot less complicated then people usually think. Eren has only ever fought for freedom for himself and his friends. He thinks he’s achieved that. But if he took control of his friends’ titans he’d also be taking their freedom of choice. So he won’t. Ever.

The freedom scene is so incredible because on the surface, it's what's Eren has always wanted, true and undeniable freedom, but it's actually a tragedy. The freedom Eren desires is nothing more than a childish dream, and Eren knows that, reverting back to his childhood self and hiding in the clouds that are actually steam from the Colossals, and can't even make himself look at the freedom that comes at the cost of millions. Eren never would have been happy at whatever the situation beyond the wall would've been, because he was disappointed it wasn't his dream of endless and vast space for him to explore. It's the core of Eren and what makes him such a tragic character.

I think it's very intentional that one of the last times we saw Floch before the big battle, he was watching the Rumbling and ending people in front of Jean while calling it freedom with a smile on his face. He sees the blood and carnage as the end of it all. The beauty of the destruction that will end their fighting. Then the next time we see Eren, he also is staring at the blood of innocents but he only sees the beauty in the clouds above. He also says freedom with a smile on his face. They both saw the carnage before them as something neccessary for the freedom they yearned for. Especially considering that Eren made him his right hand man and wanted him to survive. Little sad side note: I do find it unfortunate that Ramzi spent the last episode of part 2 being really close to Eren(likely to try and cheer him up after seeing him so sad), only for it to end the way it did

So many amazing moments in this episode but seeing Erwin again and hearing his voice was awesome. Dedicate your heart.

The centipede clip is meant to represent eren’s titan since his titan form is like a giant centipede. Also fun fact, notice how eren’s titan form looks like his arms are hanging with strings connected to it? It symbolizes that he is a “puppet”, a slave to his freedom and the future he can’t change.

Eren: i want freedom! Armin: we have freedom at home

You have to realize that even if that specific military general or whatever said he’d change doesn’t mean the rest of the world won’t eliminate the eldians after they regain their strength.

You guys need to know that all of them killed more fellow scouts than Annie so why would they hate her now? They get the bigger picture now.

Bold move watching the trailer right before the actual episodes. I'm glad it didn't spoil anything for you guys

The fact that it took THIS LONG for the English dub to come out is insane too me

I always find the scene with Eren apologising to Ramzi so interesting. Not only getting some insight to how he's been truly feeling all this time but also a glimpse into his reasonings. At a certain point we all pieced together that he's been doing this for his people, his friends.. but the part that really hits (and the sub's phrasing of it was a little bit more succinct imo) was Eren admitting that he was also doing this because he'd 'never been so let down' and "wanted to wipe everything away'. I feel like in this admission, it's showing quite a realistic side of being human. Not just the "heroic" 'I'll sacrifice everything for my friends' or his fighting for freedom but the simpleness of being so disappointed by the dream/expectation he had of the outside world that he just wanted it all to disappear.

It's so messed up, but when I first saw Hange's death the only thing I could think of was Endeavor screaming "PROMINENCE BURN!" 😭😭😭

Also when they said tht the Female Titan culd manifest the others abilities via feeding. Which we saw alot in Season 1. Her scream was a trimmed down version of Zeke's Beast Titan; Since it culd only draw pure titans to her. Her hardening ability is a trimmed down version of Reiner's Armored Titan. Her athleticism in titan form is due to the Jaw Titan's nimbleness in combat.

With Eren it's almost like ignorance was bliss, his ignorance of youth was his happiest. Even though he hated being stuck within the walls his dreams of the outside were so much better than what he found hence his little monologue to Ramsi saying how he was disappointed with what he found outside because there wasn't his freedom, just more people with hatred towards him and rules that were not in his favour and are built to take his freedom away. I think the sub had a better moment with his view of the rumbling turning to the open sky in the sub he says something along the lines of "we finally made it the view of the outside" with the rumblings aftermath as the depiction of his view. So Eren would have always done this regardless of his age or how much he knew of the ppl outside the walls it's just who he's always been. The irony of Eren the one who sought out freedom the most never really having any freedom at all, he was forever bound to be that person, to do the thing he would do as if it was set in stone.

it's been a while since I've been on the channel but hearing "wife" is insane to me omg i'm forever so happy for yall

Remember how Ackermans have an almost supernatural ability to protect those they love and care about? Mikasa always loved Eren and Levi loved Erwin. But what's intresting is when the Beast Titan throws projectiles at the plane, Mikasa and Levi are the first ones to warn Onyankopon to look out. It's because that ability to protect has now moved to new people.

I don't know if someone already said this but I think the reason Annie felt so defeated at first was because her whole reason for fighting alongside the stop-eren-squad was to save her father but then she thought he was dead after learning liberio had already been trampled by the time they all managed to get on the boat (during the montage of horrifying destruction at 15:16 that was annie's house I believe). Then later on, she found a new reason to fight and live for again - Armin. Anyway fantastic reaction and analysis guys! I really hope the dub for the final part comes out close to the release date of the sub so that you guys don't have to wait long.

Omg. I’ve never checked a KZfaq page daily for one specific video that I’ve been waiting on for over a year now. So excited to see your reactions. Congrats on the wedding! U can finally rest easy knowing Levi won’t steal yo girl. Love y’all 🎉❤

The Rumbling was one of the most terrifying things I've ever seen in any media. So many innocent people getting trampled to death, burned alive and desperately trying to escape something we all know they can't. And seeing Ramzi, the sweet kid that brought Eren and the others joy one last time, get killed alongside Halil was especially awful. It definitely wasn't fun to watch but props to everyone involved for the incredible adaptation.

I think it is perfectly understandable, after everthing theyve been through, with all the new enemies and suffering they'd endured, that they would not have the energy to waste on hating another victim of the cycle of hate. Annie is just as messed up and hurt and was just as much pushed into her position as the others. She is the embodiment of those who are too tired to fight, and the others respect that. It's an extremely important kind of humanity that is displayed at what seems to be the end of the world. Why waste the energy? Gonna force her? She's not going to be in it at all, instead if she wishes to no longer suffer, why force that on her? That exact Humanity is what is necessary to build a world without the suffering and forced pain of the world they are used to, I think. Also yes, the commander was introspecting and thinking out loud, confessing that all of this pain and death is directly at his and his peers' hands. He acknowledges the wrongs he's done and swears "so god help me" that they will be better. They've already reconciled their hatred. (I also really like the mention of hatred that was all pretend to feel better, to feel saved, a lot of hatred comes from fear after all) He is speaking genuinely in that moment to those few remaining survivors around him, exclaiming that if they even survive, the only acceptable choice will be: to be better Another note: I think the wish to explore and see the world is presented as the metaphor for beauty in humanity and being able to explore the world at the frontier, no matter what, always very inspiring I think. And Armin of course being the purest representative of not wishing any of this, but wishing to see the world. Eren and Armin are two sides of a coin in a way, Eren wants to be free, rightfully so, but got lost in the endless suffering and cycles of lack of freedom. He learned that he could never be truly free unless he made the awful decisions he made, and lock himself in his head. He's stuck in his head and denying the world and wishing for it all to just end, that's the only way he can be free. Armin did not have this same burden but he shared the same wish to be able to see the world... I could speak for hours about the themes of this story, it is so incredibly inspiring, motivating and meaningful to me.

Marley: Send titan to attack Paradis Eren: Uno reverse card Marley: surprise pikachu face

"We'll fight until that hot wind takes our wings away" The lyrics to the song that plays during Hanji's sacrifice hit like a goddamn truck

Levi ain't going to wave. He's glaring at her. He doesn't forget that. Also RIP Floch. He was a real one. Also you see that the dudes horse made it to that Eldian afterlife!

the end song being mikasa's song is so heartbreaking, she just wants eren to come home :(( it's a perfect contrast to the desperation and rage of the eren's thoughts in the rumbling intro, i can't wait to see what the final part will feature in terms of an OP/ED song

Titan shifters do not get feelings passed on Only memoires. So Armin developed feelings on his own..Sure he might have seen Annie in a different perspective due to Bert's memories..But he didn't get his feelings. It's like seeing a movie about a certain person and learn new things about that person through that movie..that caused you to gain feelings for them. U did not get the feelings the movie director might have had..u just saw that person in a different perspective than what you knew

Something to note is that the ending song is from Mikasa's perspective while the previous opening The rumbling is of course Eren's perspective

Eren becoming slave to Freedom is the biggest irony.

Armin has shown hints at interest in Annie through the 1st season. Like the fact he noticed Annie wasn't wearing her own gear when she helped kill Marco; He was watching her the entire time. Not because he was suspicious about her but he had an interest in her. And how insistent he was on helping "talk through this" when everyone found out she was the Female Titan, during the plan to capture her; He only chooses the "talk no jutsu" option when it comes to his friends or ppl he has an interest in. When Eren lied to Mikasa that her blood forced her to protect him; He also lied tht Armin's feelings for Annie were Bertholdts.

Annie's Dad: I'm sure Reiner and Annie are safe or Paradis Meanwhile Reiner seconds later:

Y’all realize annie was doing the work that bertold and Reiner didn’t want to like killing Levi’s squad, they made annie do all that-

AOT is literally the definition of "the author knows exactly what he's doing" -Another youtube comment

I think Eren defines freedom as being free of constraints. The ultimate freedom is a world with out walls, prejudice, and hate. To Eren, the world as it exists is a cage "If we crossed the sea, and we killed our enemies, would we finally be free?" It's also why he hasn't constrained the will/abilities of his friends. Because he wants them to be free. Also given Eren's control via the founder, I legit think his goal is to flatten the world then eliminate the ability/curse that makes Eldians turn into Titans. Why didnt Zeke or Eren just do that right off the bat? Cause the prejudice and hatred of the Eldian people would never fade, even with the elimination of titans. Eldians would still be viewed with hatred and paranoia by the world until every Eldian was eventually wiped out.

Hange was the Last from the "Old Squad"...Levi is now alone with the new.

I love the scene with Eren and Ramzi at the beginning because it's a perfect example of his inner turmoil. There's a part of him that yearns to do good and save that boy and others. But because he has seen himself do it, saving him acts as another proof that the future from his memories is fixed, including those of the Rumbling.

If you listen to the Rumbling song from the past set of episodes, it’s from Erens perspective, and the ending song for this one, Under the tree, the lyrics are from Mikasa’s perspective.

Rest In Power my boy Floch. You'll remain like a legend.

Flock's perspective becomes more vlear when you realise that FLOCK is the Only soldier alive who charged with ERWIN to his death. Apart from Levi Flock is the only person who listened ERWIN's last Speech. Flock is being carrying out Erwin's wish from that time on.

Levi's words about killibg Zeke is so powerful in dub too! In sub, it's powerful because he was asking for help. Him, the strongest soldier, his whole life being a battleground where the only consistent thing was his strength. He survived because of his strength, he was brought above ground because of it, he was respected because of it. Here it's powerful because it sounds like comfort. Like his promise to all these soldiers, like he’s saying aloud this promise to all those who died in Shiganshina. I love both versions

Bird means freedom.it's that simple🥱

I can't believe. I just watched the highlights from you till episode 28, and I was looking for the finaly and I find out I'm 9 hours before it released. What a great timing. I see you in 9 hours😁

finale has been dubbeddddddddd finalllyyyyyyyyy get onto thissss

OMG Guys you don’t realise HOW LONG i‘ve been waiting for this reaction! I‘m glad you finally found the time

I think people would not have the same reaction for Annie if they included those scenes in the manga where it shows her doing pretty much all the dirty work just to get some intel when they were infiltrating the walls . If they just show a little bit in the anime that Annie is pretty much the most capable out of the three (Reiner, Bertholdt, and her) and doing all the work from the start because she just simply want to go home. And now she's just tired of the conflict.

Kenny finally understands Flocks perspective.

I gotta say, Hanji's sacrifice is one of the first times in years I teared up at television. It was animated so beautifully. The music score in the background and the incredible visuals all just hit like bricks. Seeing Hanji excited in their final moments as they take down Colossal titans, the creature we thought would be the big bad villain of season 1 was just surreal. It was an excellent send off to one of my favourite characters of all time.

Levi: 2 fingers are all I need to get the job done. Me: *I'm suddenly pregnant*🤰🏻

Hange is a girl, stop saying they wtf

I’ve been waiting for this moment ever since the episode came out. You have no idea how I’m excited for this

The reason there's no loophole is very simple. Eren says it: he WANTED this. It wasn't fate. It was his choice. In the beginning that's Eren receiving memories of the future after he CHOSE to do it. He said basically: "the world wasn't how I pictured it, I was disappointed, I wanted to wipe it all away". Yes, he's justified in his trauma, but ultimately he's just an immature genocidal edgelord. Even in the middle they gave him an option and he refused.

Here is a crazy theory: what if all eldians can transform into Titans?

I always crying watching Hange's scene, R.I.P legend 🥀

Finally! Ive been waiting so long for you guys to do this reaction! And the second part of the grand finale is coming out later this year too!

Floch the patriot, he helped Eren's plan till the end.

I'm reminded of what Pyxis said in the first season. That humanity would finally stand united when faced with a threat so great that it threatens the lives of EVERYONE. Eren IS that threat, and I guess he inadvertently is the path to the freedom of the Eldians. His death could create an era of unity between all nations :\

Eren is the embodiment of "come at me bro"

I always look forward to your reactions because you always pay attention to mental issues and analyses well characters’s emotions

I believe that Eren came to see morality itself as another wall keeping him from being free.

Floch was okay with the Zeke wine plan. Any respect he had from me went right out the window, and he was reason Hange needed to sacrifice herself

eren not only sacrificed his whole family for his friends (and hopefully kid) he really just wanted them to be happy

Fun little theory I have... that face that Reiners mom has in the flashback, when she's hugging little Reiner, would be the face she has as a titan. It's like, becoming a mindless titan will force a type of personality already present, to come forward just 1, and really freeze it on their faces. Dina, smiles, but its just warped hideously. Reiners mom would have that strange smile with a hint of guilt because she's happy that she protected herself using her boy. Its kinda hellish

Eren manifested Beast titan using Warhammer power. And it's using the Warhammer stuff to throw.

"When I found out Humanity outside the walls lived on... I was disappointed" Says SO much about Eren.

I've had many problems in my life but thanks to SLAP N STICK I've finally gotten all of them patched up and resolved. Thank you Letts React.

Yea, thats his form because his head got shot off his body. If it didn’t he would’ve manifested a form that looks like Yimir’s Titan. 18:50

I hadn't noticed until this watch, that Hanji is drawn without reference to hips/breasts, it stands out when you see her to the modern Mikasa and when Levi does the Scout salute 'ShinzoSasaWego' to their chest. I know from the meta conversation Isayama intended for their to be a non-binary character, this is the first time it hit me.

wow didnt expect a reaction to this ngl. i was looking forward to yalls reaction considering i watched your aot series when you initially did it so hooray!!!

I wonder how different things would be if someone went back in time 2000 years into the past to change events to keep the King of Eldia from ever finding Ymir. He doesn't enslave her, she doesn't get blamed for the pigs being freed, she doesn't find the tree and the source of the titans power and the titans never appear

What an artistically horrifying depiction of the end times. The mass of fear, confusion, and disarray as people trip over each other in a pointless attempt at escape. Seeing people being burnt alive from the body heat was the most haunting part for me. It actually looked like hell on earth.

The exchange between Reiner and Eren kinda goes back to what Bertholdt said regarding the dude who hung himself. He wanted someone to "Judge" him. It was aimed at Reiner at the time, but now shows that it was aimed at Eren as well. I guess they really were the same.

Even if the rumbling stopped there will still be war as is human nature

As a side note. The group who made the rumbling song came to perform in Austin, TX.. great show 😊😊💪🏾

The first time I read these chapters I immediately recognized Ramzi and his actions as a parallel to Eren and his actions and it made me incredibly sad

hanjis sacrifirice is their own choice unlike sasha was directly erens consquence...eren also told they are free to do whatever they like so hanjis sacrifice is not exactly on eren

Personally I would of loved Hange to be given the chance to inherit one of the Nine Shifters.

Floch really dedicated his heart, so long king floch

there's no shot you're saying "not even a hug" between hange and levi when he just chinzou'd for the homie like that

32:53 Floch's arrival ok the dock....water dripping 👀

Levi has lost every single member of his squad.

In the words of Kenny the Ripper “Everybody’s a slave to something.”

I just love Montana for this "f* you" when seeing Floch

If you think about it Eren was never free. He was a slave to himself this whole time.

I don’t think Eren and Zeke need to be connected anymore. Eren broke through to Ymir so I think she’s chosen to give her full powers to him.

When you know that Ramzi couldn't understand Eren at that moment because they speak different languages is just devastating ... also RIP Hange, so glad they made her death soooooo EPIC.

Our devils are our only hope that's something that the scouts says about Erwin and levi

i've been waiting 2000 years for this.

Crazy that you were able to hold out until the dub finally released 😂

in the manga..when the kid was being crushed and was looking at Ymir..the other kid..there was no rock covering the head of the other kid...it was way too gory where we could see the insides of his head- 13:05

One thing I am really glad is that you Guys are actually understanding eren’s character very well Which is different to what many people beloved and is wrong
