The finale for Attack on Titan season 2! oh there is just so much to love from
this episode. While you're watching this be sure to leave your own mini review
down below. The first thing of course we got to talk about is the scene between
Eren and Mikasa, their final moment scene. You gotta love that lovely lovely tease.
That scene was so freaking gorgeous. It was so much better than I even imagined
it would be. It literally had me in tears while watching it. The voice animation,
the music, all perfect. I am glad that things worked out in the end. I had read
the chapter before but while reading it I was thinking that Mikasa was gonna die.
Another thing too about the manga, the manga version of this made it seem like
Eren coldly brushed Mikasa off to the side, and then headed towards the Smiling
Titan. Seems that was not the case thankfully. All right so character by
character, let's start off with Eren. This episode once again shows some
amazing work by his voice actor, especially from that desperate shouting
and laughing. It made me think back to Light's laugh at the end of Death Note
and no surprises by the same freaking director that directed both of these
series. Also Eren just biting into his hands over and over, that looks so
freakin painful. As for Mikasa I really love what we saw from Mikasa in this
episode. And even before that scene, even with the broken ribs
Mikasa was trying to shield Eren from that Smiling Titan! That's how far her
devotion to Eren goes, and about the actual almost kiss scene, that was a
beautiful moment from Mikasa. I know some people are gonna get disappointed is not
an outright confession but I'll take it. I think by far this is also Mikasa's
most feminine moment from the series. I have already caught up to the manga and
unfortunately Mikasa's character in the manga feels very lifeless to me, so
seeing this scene I'm really glad that the anime really breathes some life into
her. And about Eren and Mikasa getting together, I would really like to see
Mikasa ending up with Eren at the end if that's really what she wants out of
life. Unfortunately this whole relationship
right now seems way too one-sided. Eren is either that typical dense main
character that has no clue about Mikasa or he simply has no interest in her, not
in that way. hmm you know maybe Eren is more into
Armin or Levi. Mr. Isayama has mentioned that he doesn't like cliches so I
couldn't see Mikasa ending up with Armin or the horse. As for Eren's super scream
Titan power, it looks like Eren has been watching
way too much one punch man. At first glance this Titan controlling power
seems way too overpowered. I mean it's ability to absolutely command Titans.
Forget the Geass, get this instead. If you are an anime only person I did make a
video with minimal spoilers where I talked about what this power is. I
definitely suggest checking that out! Next up Hannes. Poor Hannes, at least his
final efforts weren't wasted. Hannes was able to provide them just a little
bit of extra time. Honestly his scene was very sad to see. It was easily the most
tragic death this season. It is interesting to notice that even now five
years later Hannes was not able to take down the Smiling Titan. It just goes to
show that he did make the correct move years back by running away. I'm sure
that since then he's had a lot more training and then drinking less. In the
end it was still the same result anyway. Like a lot of scenes from the attack on
Titan anime, I did feel that Hannes's final moments got a lot more
justice here in the anime. The manga version did show a little bit more gore
but it went by so quickly. I don't even think the other characters acknowledged
his death afterwards. I was pretty disappointed by that. My only slight
nitpick about its death is that before this episode they were really really
pushing those death flags for him.Iit was really way too obvious.
Next up Mr. badass, Erwin. Even at the start of this episode,
god damn Erwin. Still this guy was a reminding people to focus on mission and
get to Eren, and then he just had this look on his face when he saw that
soldier get eaten. He just had this expression that said god damn it, I'm
gonna have to do this by myself aren't I? At the very end I'm pretty
thankful to see Erwin making it back in one piece, mostly anyway. Someone go
ahead and get mr. badass to freaking metal arm, and I've already seen some
people not fully understanding why he was smiling at the very end. I definitely
don't want to spoil anything but let's just say that Erwin has some suspicions
and theories before this season and after the events that place, some of
those things have been confirmed for him. Next
up one of the Titans, Ymir. Throughout this whole season we
saw Ymir flip-flopping throughout the whole thing.
Even in this last episode she was still doing it up until the very end. I can't
blame her she was super confused. Despite that, I really don't agree with her
choice of with going with Reiner and Bert at the very end. In general it's
unfortunate but I didn't end up caring too much about Ymir and that's even
what's finding out more about her from the manga. Next up the little blonde girl
Historia. In these last few episodes we've been getting more and more of
Historia. I really like that she got more action scenes here at the end, especially
Historia getting the chance to show off her moves in the air. Just perfect
along with the music choice. I nearly forgot that Historia was one of the
scouts in the top ten. I only did wish that they had made her more of a
character starting in season one. Next up good old Levi. Unfortunately not much from
him in this season, thanks Mikasa. In this episode we only got a scene from him at
the very end. I was a little surprised to see Levi seemed extremely hurt by the
realization that he's been killing humans all of this time. You could really
hear the pain in this guy's voice. I have seen a lot of you guys complain about
where's Levi but don't worry Levi is one of the main characters in the next two
arcs so definitely cannot wait! About the underground city scene near the end. It
felt like they quickly rush past this in the anime. There's supposed to be a
lot of importance from this scene but I didn't think it came across at all in
this episode. It's just one of those rare things that I think was done better in
the manga. It is worth noting that this is going to play right into the next
Arc so that's why it's important. This episode also has some unexpected funny
moments. The first one was when that soldier was talking to Erwin and just
got instantly eaten, then seeing that expression on Levi's face. It was just
out of nowhere that it had me smiling. The second scene was a little bit later
when we saw Eren carrying Mikasa. I just found that looking so funny especially
when I would imagine it being the other way around, Mikasa instead carrying Eren.
I just kept on wondering, Mikasa is super super heavy. Is Eren gonna
fall now? How about now? A 3rd scene was one involving Connie. This guy
still calling Ymir's Titan "ugly". I don't know if he's just super brave or
this is just as plain dumb self. A final funny thing from this episode just
involved Jean. Thank you for the person that made that Jean comment in last
week's review! Every single time I started seeing a horse in this episode I
kept on thinking oh there goes Jean's family, Oh No! Finally something very
unexpected at the very end and that's regarding the Beast Titan. I don't know
if I should say this guy's name. I think some people are gonna scream spoiler
even if I just said the name but anyway you guys were not supposed to see who
was inside the beast Titan, not until the end of the next arc. So far I've seen so
many theories online the most popular one being that it is Eren's dad, just
buffed up. hmm an actual funny comparison I've seen online is to Ed's father from
Full Metal Alchemist. I mean both of these shows do take place around the
same time period and potentially even in the same area too hmm. If you are an anime
only person, let me know your theory down below! And for anyone else try not to
spoil it! Alright so I think that about covers everything. lLet me know your
favorite scene from this episode! Did you want to see Eren and Mikasa finally kiss?
By the way I do plan to do a separate video on season 2 covering my thoughts.
overall. Before that I just want to re-watch season 2, so look forward to
that! If you have been here week by week thanks a lot for watching please be sure

on Titan content that I got coming up. I'll definitely be covering Attack on
Titan in season 3 next year and also SAO season 3 and Code Geass season 3,
whenever those come out. If you are wondering about Eren's new Titan
power. I suggest checking out my video explaining it.
I was pretty careful only to include minimum spoilers anyway definitely leave
