Nah, that misses the point the doubt and regret, the split persona’s all make up Reiner Only in accepting that and it’s atonement is when he’s finally able to do things like this We wouldn’t have that without these other sides of him, they’re all him, they just don’t define him.

He's def my favorite character, but they should've given him the John Marston ending, Y should Reiner live a happy life after the sins he has committed

The real Reiner _is_ his split personality. Thr real Reiner _is_ a broken man, a broken child. The real Reiner is a warrior, soldier, and none and all of the above.

I loved when Jean finally re accepted him as one of the scouts when he was holding him up from falling to his death. That was such a moving moment.

@@Majima669 agree. he should have died in battle, not only because of his sins, but also because that's what he wanted himself. he was trying to off himself, after all

Pieck is my favourite and the Cart Titan as well 🥳 GO PIECK!

@@marckbrown97 Pieck belike: "I'm ' FEARLESS'"

That moment was peak Pieck and I loved it!!

⁠@@gracefulkaito1811 nah more like Pieck: hell naw if you gotta kill i’m still there waiting for you

Thats what i'm saying! he doesnt get any respect for no reason.

The ancient Warhammer Titans seemed weaker. Meanwhile, Reiner struggled MORE against other Armored, Jaw, Female, and Attack Titans.

​@@thevigilant6884cus warhammers are string beans compared to the armored, the only thing that could hurt the armored is the hardening

​@@peptobismol6140well, Warhammers specialise in hardening even more than the armored titan. They can make whatever they want from it, but the variants aren't really using their ability aside from making a weapon for themselves, and then storming at the enemy. We saw with the original Warhammer and eren how much utility the power gives, yet those warhammers don't really use it. If they used it to the full extent, Reiner would be a goner

If the warhammer made giant structures like the Lara Tybur to attack Reiner way too much they would be exhausted pretty quickly but in this case since there are a lot of Warhammers ganging up on Reiner that would've been a better tactic for sure. But tbh none of the Ancient Nine Titans really did fight in the most ideal way so I don't really think it's just the Warhammer's problem@@neuu8708

Exactly what i was thinking, adorable

Remember when she helped commit chemical warfare on civilians, and helped Zeke shred Erwin & co?

Yes , but also remember Ragako village .

its alright they were just devils @@harrydrake4173

Just like melina in your pfp.

That makes a lot of sense tbh. As for a Titan with such a name, the Armored Titan probably took the most punishment out of the others in the battles it took part in after Reiner and Bertoldt got exposed.

That's a cute theory. Just not true.

​​​​​@@hylianlegendsyou're wrong, it was said in the show multiple times how important their will is when it comes to transforming. Do you not remember eren not being able to transform when he lost his will to fight? Then he finally transformed when he had that stake through him before he fought the female titan? He transformed originally from his anger at the world. So saying that reiners will has to do with whether he dies or not while taking the colossal titans nuke isn't even really up for debate. If he had no will he would've died. Strong will doesn't literally make his armor stronger but it makes him survive more hits by keeping him alive in his titan form where with no will his titan would just stop working like it's supposed to basically. But yes it doesn't literally make the armor stronger, but makes him able to regenerate more quickly & tank more hits before he dies. The will is the fuel for his titan form. By that logic more will means more fuel which easily could be the difference between living & dying when taking so many hits.

Makes sense. Reiner went down with one punch from Eren in the beginning of season 4, which was arguably when he was feeling the worst

Also I'm Season 4 he tanks way more thunder spears than in season 3 . in season 3 in only took Like 12 thunder spears to take him down whilst in Season 4 it took like 50 Yeagerists with 2+ thunder spears each to overwhelm The Armoured Titan.

His one and only best moment in the entire series 🔥

Actually he headbutted that war hammer and then he tomahawk the other!

This is pretty much the only time where Reiner's spirit was in the fight.

THATS WHAT IM SAYING 😭

Nero meeting his uncle, Dante, for the first time:

​@@internetduck1114 frfr

mhm

Reiner was collecting BODIES

You didn't need to go that hard man 😢

I think Reiner was someone who fell from grace, he had respect, friends and love from them. And sadly he knew that it couldn't last forever because as much as it killed him inside he had to make the choice that he never wanted to make, to betray them. As 4 years passed Reiner was in the deepest darkest pits of hell and in his worst moment when he held the gun to his mouth he made the decision to fight for his loved ones since he couldn't fight for himself thus becoming the hero he wanted to be as a child. I believe Reiner's story is one of redemption and how it's never too late to make amends and right the wrongs of the past. He fell but he rose to much higher levels.

Reiner was never a villain, he always thought he was doing good, he was manipulated by a racist government Kinda like people in real life

Well said

That's just it: there were no true villains here. EVERYONE was a hero pitted against each other. It wasn't too far off from what Fire Emblem Heroes wishes it was.

I wouldn't go so far as to say there were no bad guys. King fritz was evil. The guy who fed Faye to the dogs was evil.​@@wholesome_masochist4113

Helos made real

They failed my dude. Losing 80% of the population can't be considered a victory, and I'm the end they didn't deserve it. Eren's actions weren't but the result of all of these characters actions and unwillingness to find a peaceful way out of their situation. Like someone in the show put it, Eren is the embodent of all their sins that was summoned due to their greed and selfishness

@@Baykkoit can't be considered a loss either they saved a lot of people enough to repopulate.

​@@BaykkoSuccess doesn't define a hero.

​@@CandleWispthen what?

He is also my favorite, as well as the creators (Isayama)

Yeah all he did was cause the death of 500,000 strangers when he broke Wall Maria. And then was directly responsible for many of his friends deaths at Trost. All of Marley are garbage. The warriors too. Only Zeke isn’t so bad.

@alexandrostheodorou8387 Yeah when he was just a kid. He did what Eren did at Liberio, hence they’re the ‘same.’ Even though it was actually for a nobler reason. And he didn’t directly kill all those people; it was the Paradis elites who killed that many by forcing them to “fight” titans with no weapons. And somehow Zeke “isn’t so bad” when he tortured Miche to death in one of the worst ways in the entire show. Reiner barely sought to kill anyone directly before S4

@@saadqazi3833 You forget Annie making the suvey corps Yo Yo’s? And remember at Trost he was the leader. He was responsible for continuing the mission. Decided to kill people that he knew for many years slept and trained next too. Eren attacked the moment Willy Declared War and the World cheered in support to genocide Paradis. Reiner did cold blooded murder 2 times and arguably worse at Trost.

⁠​⁠@@saadqazi3833 bahaha ‘he was just a kid’ what a stupid excuse. Did you forget why marley wanted to wipe out the eldians in the first place? It was to get their natural resources. Did you forget why eren blew up liberio? To stop them from doing so. ‘Their the same’. What a dumb take.

reiner isn’t beating eren in willpower, reiner is is kind eren has been fighting grown men since he was a kid

Yeah kinda disappointed he wasn’t more of a factor in beating Eren himself. Thematically he should’ve been the one in paths fighting Eren & not Armin. Two kids pushed down paths neither wanted

​@@americanroyalist6905and Reiner was bringing down entire nations when he was a kid.

@proskeptical789 fighting the founding titan wielder in the place he kinda can manipulate? Bold move. Eren was literally jumping between their ages and locations while in there. Plus, Eren talked to Reiner in his own realm. That's why when it ends they are all sitting there baffled, cause eren explained to them what was happening, and how he really didn't have any control over it, but in stopping him they erase all the titans currently there

@@proskeptical789 how when Reiner's titan is 15m tall and eren's colossal form is 60m, or do you mean armored titan vs attack titan?

Let's GOOOOOOOO

REINER 3:16 says I just whipped your ass!

Reiner never held back whenever he and Eren fought, that was some fanboy excuse that hurt Reiner more than it helped him lol but real talk, it was a toxic excuse that never should've started

I mean.. Eren's resolve was to kill Reiner when it's quite opposite for Reiner, the only time he took things seriously was when he fought Eren for the last time in S4..

@@CHRISCAMPO-wq8bi I wouldn’t say Reiner held back & went easy rather he was just way too mentally sapped to put up any sort of fight besides their first encounter when Eren was still learning how to use the attack titan. Big difference, when he came clean about Marco you can see the shift in his use of the armored altogether

@@proskeptical789 exactly, Reiner was never mentally sapped whenever he fought Eren. he always tried his damndest to beat him. I could be a Reiner fanatic and still hate how these fanboys excuses for him, between how they disrespect Reiner and the story, and what they say doesn't make sense with it either.

@@CHRISCAMPO-wq8bithe hell? How did you not comprehend throughout the franchise he held back and he was mentally stricken to fight in his best effort? You do realize back in S2&3 he needed Eren alive and not dead? And if he lands a killing blow, the entire mission fails? Also around that time he was rusty from using the titan because of not using it for 5 years. Let’s not also forget that Eren had mikasa aiding him in the first fight to gain the upper hand and also the help from survey corps in 2nd fight. As for the season 4 fights, Reiner was still mentally stricken to fight. But if you compare his mental health here, his morale is exponentially better. Reiner also is the better hand to hand combatant between him and Eren since he had both training regimes from 2 domains and Isayama even rated his fist fighting skills to be a 9/10 in his guidebook. Reiner is also the fastest out of the titans between beast, female, war hammer and attack titan as he once ran so fast without armor on his calves to the point Eren got folded and couldn’t react. Reiner also has the better stamina, endurance, regeneration and combat techniques. His armor is even more durable than Eren’s hardening as Jean’s blades could break through hardening but Mikasa’s blades shatters upon impact across Reiner’s armor. Reason why Eren shatters his armor is because the plates on his face is quite thin

To be fair, Reiner has the heart of the Scout with the pride of a Warrior. He had a lot of potential if his depression didn't hold him back, he was already the strongest Warrior Marley ever had.. no wonder he was given the rank of Vice Commander. Not only is he a skilled Warrior, but also a leader.. he's the one who planned on taking Eren down in S4P2, cornered Eren and had nearly defeated him.. if not for Zeke interfering all of a sudden.

А мне было приятно увидеть всех мëртвых персонаж в конце. Под этот саундтрек...

Warhammers: "we got swords, knives, axes, bows and arrows and scythes, what you got?" Reiner: "these bloody fists" 🤛🩸

@@eduardor-o4884 Dude is a beast

​@@Bajanprince67yep, and the hallucigenia got those hands as well.

Are anime only scenes considered canon tho?

@@SacredYaksha Isayama said he considers the anime to be the "final draft," so I'd say yes, in this case.

@@SacredYakshathe anime is more canon than the manga

Let alone his combat skills and experience are enough to stall Eren, if he had a much healthier mind or if he had talked to Bertholdt about this he would've been so powerful.

Or maybe, just hear me out, all of the plot armor he had in previous arcs went into his fighting potential just for the last episode?

Agreed, Reiner's story is one of redemption and it shows that it's never too late to right the wrongs of the past and that you dont need to have a good start in life to be great. The man made the hallucigenia, a godlike creature his bitch twice.

The Eren fanboys will realise in time that Reiner is the goat.

@@BigV24 the king, the man made the hallucigenia his bitch twice.

Yep he and Eren are the best characters in this series. The cast and crew and the story declared Eren as the most human and the hero of the story, but Reiner is just as amazing a character.

@@eduardor-o4884 you basically described Eren with that first sentence, but that second one is false tho, since Reiner struggled with that worm

مخوزق مخوزق مع ارتفاع كبير

It looks like the Warhammer is looking elsewhere...

Its actually 2d for a short while, while the rest was cgi, which is pretty cool

Reiner should have asked those warhammers and the hallucigenia If they wanted ketchup with that ass whippen.

It's not that he got better per se, but that he finally let go of his depression and doubts. He finally fought for something he believed in and didn't get held back by his own thoughts

Sensacionation

Drop kick

Like the forest battle in revenge of the fallen?😏

As a child he was the worst but as he grew older be became better, during the 4 year timeskip he didn't lose any battles and in hand to hand combat is where Reiner is at a disadvantage where eren has the advantages, yeah In a brawl eren is much better but in a warzone Reiner is much better then eren, eren would get destroyed. Reiner is the tank, he's got the experience and knowledge to succeed and knows where to aim and his titan is built for it and during his time as a warrior he has achieved more then eren has ever gained as a scout( before eren went AWOL)

Also remember that reiner is consumed by guilt and depression when he fighting eren, this fight is the only time he goes with all his strength

*no match* Literally Eren in season 2: "Mikasa please help, I got Reiner with Annie's move I definitely not remember for plot armor, help, Isayama needs to give me at least 4 titan shifting abilities to outclass him, but this isn't season 4, please help cuts his legs, I'm the bird protagonist!!!"

@@TheOUTSIDER1995 and remember how in that fight reiner sent flying eren with a single punch

​@@tavoa952And Reiner toying with Eren in their very first fight, he's just walking towards a knocked out Eren menacingly not giving a single care to Mikasa trying to slice him.

He's one of the 9, I dont think he's considered normal at all.

Structural Hardening is quite taxing. That and they can't create complicated weapons like guns - and in this case a easy to make melee weapon is preferable to fighting bare handed.

It's the other way around lol, Reiner always had his ass saved by others against Eren. Eren was literally 2v1ing Reiner and Galliard and was winning

He wasn't winning, the Warhammer came in clutch. You saw how he couldn't free himself from Reiner's grasp while Porco attempts to eat him. Eren needed the Warhammer so he could fight the Warriors in Shiganshina before he activates the rumbling, because if you look closely Eren's Attack Titan can surely body Reiner's Armored Titan but never beat him, their fights always end up in stalemates because in the earlier seasons the Scouts put Reiner in a disadvantage like Mikasa interfering Reiner's attempt to break free from Eren's hold and the Scouts jumping on Reiner in their second fight. S4 Eren had help as well, sure he fought the Warhammer well but Lara didnt even looked fazed from Eren's beatdown. Lara, with no experience and formal military training managed to effortlessly beat Eren. The Scouts came in clutch before Lara could kill him, Mikasa distracted Lara to gas her out so Eren can capture her. Do mind Porco clearly beat Eren's ass but couldn't think strategically because he gave in to his anger. There is a reason why Eren took Reiner down in liberio, one is that this current Reiner may be depressed but knows him well by nature. And of course Reiner has the overall advantage if he wasnt taken down by Eren in Liberio, those cannons set up in around the stage can surely force Eren to defend himself while Reiner keeps the pace and pressure.

Eren beat Reiner on his own every time, and season 4 proven that when Eren is by himself and Reiner has help, Eren STILL comes out on top. Also, very fucking convenient that you ignored Eren's season 3 dialogue looking back on that fight you mentioned, which confirmed the exact opposite of what you claim, nevermind the following fight and Reiner's dialogue which also debunk your bullshit.

also fyi, Eren took out Reiner in Liberio like that to protect Falco and make sure he is safe from the carnage. At the end of that fight, Eren was still able to fight Reiner even after battling the warhammer and jaw titans.

I mean, you do know Reiner's only objective in season 3 was to capture Eren right? Reiner did say he can't bite Eren out on his own, because HE KNOWS the Scouts may also assist Eren just in case. Do mind Eren underestimated Reiner here and was overconfident until the tables turned and almost got his head blown off by a single punch that shattered the earth around them. Reiner was about to take Eren seriously until the Scouts took over and jumped him with thunderspears. Do mind Reiner only transformed in liberio to save Porco and not fight Eren, there's a BIG reason why Eren took advantage of Reiner and Falco just so he doesn't have to deal with Reiner in the following battle that's about to happen and also to protect Falco from the carnage as you said. But if Reiner didn't go with Falco or convinced Falco to stay with Gabi and the others, well Paradis might be dead by now because Reiner, Porco and Pieck are there to assist Lara which means Eren may have gotten eaten by now.. do mind Zeke had already turned his back on his fellow Warriors, he's just nitpicking his abilities against the Scouts to avoid losing more casualties.. if Zeke actually took the matters seriously and took advantage of the Scouts losing then Eren is no longer with them and the rumbling never happened.

Yeah cause he ripped it off and started beating the warhammers with it😂

It is
