Because Mikasa (and everyone else eventually) was busy wondering who this new titan was, most of us viewers were thrown off the this-must-be-Eren-scent. … Naah.”Įven though Attack on Titan often shoves obvious clues right in our faces, all but the most eagle-eyed still miss them. When Eren’s titan form first shows up to save Mikasa from being gobbled up by a titan, there are at least three reactions:ġ: “Is that Eren? … OMG that’s Ereeeeen!!”Ģ: “Wait… is that. Eren in titan form killing the pot-belly titan I felt that, and you should go back and watch that sequence again, if you missed the feels. It definitely added to the whole somber mood.
It was so good, I made sure I searched the title of the song that was used - Call Your Name. Even better, he graduated in the top 10, so he could join Military Police, the life of comfort he always wanted… the life he’d worked so hard to survive for.Īnd the music! Such a combo. These people won’t have to risk their lives. As everyone around him heads in the opposite direction, we can feel how he wants to join them. The scene is so well executed that we feel Jean’s internal struggle. Practically everyone leaves without a second thought. If there were still any Jean haters by this point, this growth of his turned them all to his side.īut the highlight of this is when Survey Corps Commander Erwin Smith asks anyone who isn’t willing to join them to leave. See, something about Marco ( sob.) moves him to want to stay and fight in the frontlines. He resolves himself to join the Survey Corps, even though he’d previously been so hung up on getting into the interior and enjoying his comfort even after witnessing the horrors that the titans bring. Who would willingly want to face those nasty titans again?īut it’s during this time we see some solid character growth from Jean. In keeping with the realistic themes of Attack on Titan, almost everyone has already ‘lol nope’-ed out of the very idea of joining the Survey Corps. Soon after the battle of Trost, the time comes for the trainees to choose which military faction they’d join: the Military Police (an option for only the top ten), the Garrisons, or the Survey Corps.
TOP 5 BEST ATTACK ON TITAN GAMES SERIES
It’s a good reminder of some of the things that made us love the series in the first place. This scene was the first of many to come that really showcased what the aftermath of war really is like. They just go blerrgh! and leave behind a mass of… human parts mushed together in one disgusting package. In the aftermath, we learn that titans don’t even digest the countless humans they eat. This is the first time we really learn that victory never comes easy in Attack on Titan. We’re given a body count: 207 dead, or missing. That moment when Eren slams that massive boulder onto the ground to block the hole in Trost was truly epic, but we aren’t even allowed to celebrate the victory for too long - there are still titans crawling in Trost that need clearing up. Practically every single victory comes at a huge cost, and humanity’s first victory was no exception.
There are no idealistic “I’ll never give up!” punchlines here. If there’s one thing Attack on Titan does well (there’s much more than one), it’s making it clear that this is a cruel world. “Humanity had indeed scored its first victory against the titans… but there were too many casualties for anyone to celebrate.”
