the amount of times eren is both captured and saved makes me think he's a Disney Princess going incognito

Historia is lucky that Mikasa still saved her after she got a grip on Eren's abs

He tall. He crawl. And he brawl

Bertholdt: I'm the biggest Titan! Rod reiss: hold my injection

Thats the scariest titan in my opinion tbh

Some time i say tha eren is a lost princess of Disney.

You know, even if he was a manipulative cowardly jackass, part of me can't help but feel bad for Rod. He did see his entire family get slaughtered, after all.

Does him laying on the floor have anything to do with why he crawls, isn't ur form based on the person, What type of person do u gotta be to turn into something so gross and weird

This Titan is already large when crawling, just imagine if this Titan was able to stand up properly and walk like a normal Titan.

As intense as this scene is, I couldn't stop laughing at the noise he made when he licked the liquid

The soundtrack build up and the release at 2:19 is incredible

0:09 “Fat Tiddy”

How many times did Eren Got Captured?

2:58 i love this theme so much

1:46 and just like that a new ship was born

2:04 Jean is lowkey jealous of Eren's sculpted 10-pack.

But I feel very sad for rod and that line was very sad 'father uri Frieda wait for me '

Damn I forgot Jotaro's Japanese voice actor also voices Erwin. Edit: Oh I also forgot that Eren's Japanese voice actor also voices koichi. Small world.

1:22 - 1:40 This is very sweet of her...it's a very kind thing to say to such a sad, isolated person. The shock in Eren's face says it all. She made him feel worthy of love in that moment.

That titan is ugly as hell my dude

1:57 I love how Jean and Levi jumped towards Eren but Connie is on the floor crawling towards him

I'll sum up a discussion that we did some months ago in a community, when we came to a conclusion on Rod Reiss titan. Some psychological aspects of a subject of Ymir might slightly influence his titan transformation (Ymir wasn't a warrior and she's different from Marcel and Porco, Armin almost looks like a depressed colossal titan, etc.) and his pure titan behavior. But that is not the main reason why Rod Reiss' titan is this monstrosity. The fact that his spine was broken is not important and has nothing to do with it. The fact that he licked the serum instead of injecting it in his arm may have had some sort of influence, but again: it is not the main reason. The reason of this transformation is the special spinal fluid in that syringe: it was labeled "most powerful titan" by Rod. While Isayama never specified what fluid it was, I think we can come to understand it thanks to some subtle clues. So... It's very very very likely that the coward kept Uri or Frieda's spinal fluid in that serum, which was extracted when they were alive! Uri and Frieda turned into pure titans in releatively "peaceful" times inside the walls, so they transformed with a standard serum. But now that Wall Maria has been destroyed by an external threat, Rod thought that he should have given this specific serum to Historia: a serum with Founding Titan spinal fluid! There are actually many clues that can support this idea and honestly, unless Isayama explicitly said otherwise, for me it is so obvious that I'll hardly accept that this is not the truth... 1) Rod worshipped the Founding Titan like a god, so it's likely that he thought that it was the most powerful one (which is not really false, but not in terms of brute force. The Colossal Titan is the strongest one in terms of brute force) and so he labeled the serum that way. 2) He said: "Father, Uri, Frieda... wait for me" before licking the fluid, probably because he thought that he would have inherited their memories as soon as he transformed into a titan thanks to their fluid. 3) His reaction when Historia smashed the serum is unnatural: he goes mad and looks desperate, as if that was the only remaining serum. But there were actually other serums in the bag that could have been used to turn Historia into a titan. So that "most powerful titan" serum was really important to him and was probably the only one he had. Also it should be noted that, despite being a sneaky coward who never had the balls to inherit the Founding Titan and the fact that he never managed to show it properly, he loved his brother and daughter and losing that serum would have meant losing everything he had about them and any possibility to "meet" them again. Now... probably the most important clue: MANGA SPOILERS ahead . . . . . . . . . . . . 4) Rod pure titan looks EXACTLY like the Founder Ymir's Founding Titan and Eren's Founding Titan: a really long titan that mainly moves on all fours (Ymir does that in chapter 122, page 16 while Eren does it all the time probably beacuse he transformed when beheaded, so he never fully transformed: the titan just went out his decapitated head). Then, Rod could only crawl because his weight was too much to bear, while Eren instead also had the Warhammer Titan that could make him move faster. Rod transformation is also IDENTICAL to Eren's transformation at the end of chapter 122. So this is why Rod's titan is probably just a "pure titan version" of the Founding Titan.

That speech historia gives to eren saying that she doesn't want to be a God, feels very similar to the speech he gives ymir in the future that she's just a person and can make her own choices

He protecc He attacc But more importantly... He look like a snacc 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😫😫👏👏

2:33 I saw rod face intact!

Damn looking back, it must’ve taken ymir 10x as long trying to form rod reiss’s Titan out of soil Only to be like “fuck it I made it too big and now I’m bored”, halfway through, leaving rod with incomplete body parts lol

2:58 that’s terrifying

1:50 eren for sure would love this frame

*for whoever is asking about the ost* : this epic and marvelous music is called "Ymniam - Orch" and it's part of the OST from the 2nd season. ^^

3:00 The very slow journey begins... (timing of epic soundtrack saved for future)

I have a theory where Rod Reiss isn't at his full size, if you can read Japanese, the vial Rod used said "Strongest Titan", so it would be assumed Historia would turn into... "That", also, Rod didn't inject the vial, but rather licked it off the floor, so maybe that affected it, making him have smaller than average limbs, a deformed Titan, and smaller than he should be, my theory on his true height? 3 times bigger than Colossal Titan, instead of the 2 times with the wall. My other theory on how Rod is so big is that he was going to inject Historia with a Collosal Titan serum, after all, the vial in Japanese says "Strongest Titan", and the Collosal Titan is the strongest. Historia then proceeds to slap the syringe away, and break Rod's back. He then crawls to the serum, and gets the size of the Collosal Titan, but something goes wrong. Since Rod is of Royal Blood, he grows larger than he should've, about twice the original size (My proof on how this is true is the Smiling Titan, she's taller than most Titans would be, whuch is not 14 meters, it's less. and she is Dina Fritz, a person of Royal Blood). The reason why Rod crawls? Historia broke Rod's back, so that has to have some sort of impact on the Titan, or possibly, like Dina's smiling face, Rod's back was disfigured. Another reason for Rod's back is that his legs and arms weren't the right size (either from being deformed, or that the place he transformed in (the blue, now _destroyed_ cave) was too tight to hold him, and it squeezed his sorry arms and legs).

1:50 waifus 😍

コニーがあんなに早く鍵を外せるほどの頭の良さはもっていないはずだ

0:12, that was one of the most uncomfortable yet freaky transformations of a Titan I've seen by far. 😨

The big mystery is what does the titan really look like

3:09 how I go to school

吹っ飛んだヒストリアを受け止めるミカサかっこよすぎや。

That's ART not just Anime.. FKN studio Wit bro 🔥🔥🔥

To think that this was rod's pure titan, it being so big is incredibly surprising because normally pure titans are so small

"ya done goofed up" Kenny Ackerman-2018

Rod reiss is a very big titan he couldn't turn back to human again he's an abnormal titan he can't control himself and his faceless in his inside are out its so gross and just crawls what a lazy titan....

I can't see him saying "Wait for me" without hearing *f at t i t t y*

"NUM NUM NUM"-rod riess

0:14 when you drink something and it's still hot

0:26 IT CAN'T BE STOPPED ANYMORE

He protec, He attac, But most importantly, He lic

This scene is so slept on!!!!! This tells us the founding titan is the all knowing and ONLY knowing! As much as Rod thought he knew, he knew little at all! Look at how massive the royal families titan would be, shits insane!

How eren talked to historia and the others just reminded me of how different eren is now, I know he didn’t find another option, but to see all of his believes and care for others needs to be pushed aside for that matter . Just makes me so feel so bad and sad for him .

If anyone is curious as to the ost, it’s ymniam-orch (sm2-finals2)

What do you think it would look like when he wasn’t on his god dam FACE

I always thought that Rod become so fucking big because he was drinking the serum instead of injecting. And because he is a royal family member his body interacted differently with the serum and transformed him into a different kind of abnormal titan. We never saw somebady drink the serum and this one to be a royal member that can acces the founder POWER. Maybe this 2 factors can produce some insane kind of titans that nobody can even imagine

The ceiling be gettin’ in rod reiss 💀

Ah yes the animators training for animating Eren's true founding titan

Imagine Hange's pov of a massive titan bigger than Berthold just coming out of the ground.

Kudos to all the scouts that managed to keep a level head in the face of that monstrosity. That thing was fucking horrifying

That has to be the Spinal Fluid of the Founding Titan

0:09 its not only me who heard F A T T I T T Y

I love the iconic transformation sound. It reminds me of the scream of an eagle

Even Kenny is like "Fuck this" hahahahahah

Sheesh. That is one large Rod... Reiss.

😂😂😂the way he calls out his family's name was like he was a sad dog in pain...Frieda..uriii

remember when we thought rod reiss was the largest titan of all? good times

0:12 I don't know why but the way his voice is while he licks the liquid is hilarious.

2:57 This mans theme is when the person in the wheel chair stands up.

his titan scares me so bad 💀

Love the part where Mikasa saves Historia from crashing into the wall. She doesn’t care about the shipping wars, they are friends too

0:27 That's a really long spine.

@0:13 me when i saw the OVA with Mikasa's abs 😳

imagine being there and seeing that titan in ur face

My theory for the size: The founder Titan is shown to be huge so I think his blood may have a lot of power to it so becoming a Titan would unleash a ton of it. The reason why the others weren't all that big is because I think the serum also has an inhibitor to it. Which would make sense for offering place to be designed to that certain height. How the serum was made I don't know, could be the founder Titan could change it's size going off the picture book.

I wanna watch this show now

Bro the soundtrack 🔥😭 they always know what to play

the way he's kneeling and transforming looks so epic

History is so beautiful !

He atacc He protecc But most importantly, He hurts his bacc

My father upon seeing this episode: "Whoa... Just imagine if he was proportional and not so deformed..."

My favorite titan and my biggest inspiration. No matter what the odds, you just gotta keep crawling to your goals! Someday I want to cosplay Rod's titan, and he's just so beautiful!

This one of my favorite episodes in attack on titan so far

"Ya dumb shit"- THE GOAT KENNNNNNNNNNUAHH ACKERMAN

*Cut The Chains With The ODM Gear Done*

No wonder Rod's titan came out wrong. He should've done it outside like Eren.

love how his face is glowing this makes an epic moment in the anime

Betthotoldt: IM THE BIGGEST TITAN! Rod Reiss: hold my beer.

If anyone wondering why the titan is so strange looking let me explain. First of all his back was broken before taking the serum which is why he could not stand, he might have been able to still crawl possibly if it wasn’t for the cave being too small for his size(the cave squishing him is also why he looks like a slug) and the gravity weighing down on him due to his sheer mass. Even if his back wasn’t broken and he wasn’t in a small cave it is unlikely he would still be able to stand straight as his limbs are too weak to support all that body weight. His face and torso are scraped off due to him dragging himself the entire way to the wall. Under ideal circumstances this titan would most likely be able to crawl on its knees and hands and when it stood on its knees it would be around 135 but if it was able to stand it would stand at about 160.

0:13 play it many times... Is it weird?

that susanoo crazy bro

Historia be grabing on to eren's abs and vline for dear life lmoaoaoaooaa

Imagine if this titans face and body were still in perfect condition and it could walk

Lol imagine if rod reiss somehow managed to eat a titan shifter

Him lying on the ground in that way......that's what I call for shadowing

rod transformation like a eren founding titan transformation lol

ナウシカの巨神兵やw

Oh god this won’t even compare to when Eren turns into a pterodactyl.

Its bigger Its better Ladies and gentleman we welcome you: ROD REISS TITAN

"Shut up already, you topless wimp!" Jean, you... 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Anybody else feel sad when Rod says “Father, Uri, Freida... Wait for me.”?

Rod's Founding is actually 170 with it's legs fully extended, 120 when it's legs are bent

if only this existed in real life you hear giant footsteps behind you, turn around and see a giant slug with arms lumbering towards you slowly then it looks up and all of it's organs fall out, its head is basically what they'd show you when learning all the systems, and it's 100 meters tall good god this titan is terrifying

This is awesome

Imagine if rod drunk all the fluid💀
