this week you have Erwin's titan attack gamble! So what's up guys Foxen here! It
looks like you can't keep a good commander down. Erwin's titan attack
gamble did pay off so the commander lives to fight Titans another day. Oh
what was that about Hange being the next in charge? Well thanks for keeping the
seat warm good ole Hange but I'm getting ahead of myself
Let's go ahead and get this started! First off let's talk about Erwin's
quote-on quote trial this episode. Of course this whole facade was concluded
before I'd even begun. I mean you did see them setting up the stage to hang Erwin
before anything even started. Had everything played out normally Hange
really would have been the new Survey corps commander. However do notice
despite all of their royal BS Erwin still gave a very important plea for
the survey corps. The survey corps playing this important role in
humanity's survival and not to mention acting as their beacon of hope. This
perhaps being more important to the other soldiers in the audience around
him. So far the anime has done a very good job clearly making this royal courts
guys appear super corrupt and part of this I do appreciate. If they didn't make
any changes from the manga these guys would have suddenly appeared this
episode and started speaking for the first time in this very scene. At least now
with how things played out in the season 3 anime you do know what these guys are
about. As for the actual Titan attack scene this episode I was actually really
looking forward to seeing how this would be done for the anime
I was thinking hopefully it's not just gonna be some still image but after
thinking about it more I was like oh no they're just gonna reuse some animation
and guess what they did. I guess on the bright side the new still image they
did use was a new image for the colossal Titan an armored Titan but still it is a
bit disappointing. Next up let me actually bring up Erwin's
whole plan or should I say gamble. It actually really reminded me of what
Hange and Levi pulled earlier on against Sannes and his buddy in their dungeon. You
know with the total fake out. I guess great minds do you think alike.
Thankfully Erwin's whole plan actually work without any bloodshed for now
anyway and of course this commander Badass made it look super easy. I just got a
love Erwin sneaking in a smile during this whole potentially horrible
situation for him and perhaps Erwin wouldn't have been able to pull this off
without the help from Pixis and Zackly. These two people of course which
has spent decades building his close relationship with. As for the corrupt
faking and the royal government courts guys as expected these guys were really
only caring about their own asses. Oh let's go ahead and cut off the gates
completely and keep ourselves safe inside wall Sina. At this point they
weren't even trying to hide the fact that they didn't give a crap about
humanity at all. What we're about to get invaded screw that! I also like the
little detail about the proxy King not even paying attention to perhaps any of
this. Talk about this numb body just being there to keep that throne seat
warm. I wonder do they just have this old dude drugged 24/7 gotta find some way to
keep this interesting. As for some of the other players in this so complete props
and credit to Commander Pixis and even now in this Pixis of course if someone
required for this plan to have any chance at all. Meanwhile yeah military
police Nile that came to his senses and chose Erwin and the people instead of
trying to save his own ass in the final wall. Erwin did tell him he would
eventually have to choose for both of their sakes. Thankfully he chose the
right side at least I think he did. Next up let me not forget about Zackly. Let
me mention how I'm really glad to see exactly back in the anime. I recall
seeing this guy back up during the first time during Eren's trial. Seeing his
portrayal during all that really left a lasting impression on me. He always came
off as having this commanding presence. I guess part of the credit for that does
go to his voice actor. Here for season 3 he's back and proved to be a big key to
Erwin's plan. What's really interesting here is his real intentions his real
motivations come out. Apparently Zackly never liked the role government guys at
all. He was able to smell and maybe drown in that corruption. Zackly was really
just waiting for his time to pounce and now with Erwin thankfully he gave
him that opportunity. I do wonder exactly actually feel satisfied about this since
it seems that Erwin almost gave it to him completely free. But let's not forget I
think I find it even more interesting that Zackly wasn't doing any of this for
Humanity's sake. This of course being pretty important. It just happened to be
that he was on Erwin's side. I think this is a key theme for attack on Titan
that'll keep coming into play. As for the Reeves son and press here so credit to
them too of course there were a bunch of changes and cuts here regarding them but
I do love how the Reeves developed and got more of a backbone into all of this
An important part to any rebellion is media control so them changing science
was a huge risk at least for now thankfully it paid off!
next up about Armin's comments this episode. You see Armin wondering about
Eren's Titan abilities. At this point I think they made it pretty clear
in the anime how the Titan powers are transferred. For example Ymir as of
mindless titan ate one of the warrior guys then took on the titan abilities.
Now you have armin wondering about Eren hmm if you recently rewatch attack on
titan season one and season two it should be fairly obvious. I'll leave it
to you to wonder about. As for potato sack Eren this episode so Eren's been
fully stripped and chained up in Rod's weird sex dungeon. For a lot of you that
wanted Eren's abs well you got them. Too bad for some of you that Erwin and
Levi's abs were sacrificed. As for this whole crystal cave place I'm pretty glad
to see this cave scene funnily animated for me it's been one of the uprising arc
islands that are very personally waiting for. So far you only got in a taste and
it's gorgeous. Definitely can't wait for some of the more exciting things to come
Of course the whole reason that Eren is even here so someone could munch down on
him. Notice how Eren was having an interesting of dream of another woman. Oh
Yes Mikasa is about to get super jelly! Interesting how they moved this early
scene here now. I was wondering when Frieda would show up. She almost looks
like she could be Eren's sister. As for the chained up Eren yeager in case you
super worried or annoyed about him not getting enough screen time in this
season so far or just about him being treated baddly which I've seen so many
countless complaints about don't you worry Eren will have some strong
moments coming up! So look forward to Eren suffering some more! By the way
it really quickly I am still doing the manga versus anime difference videos
Definitely be sure to check out those weekly. The latest one for the last
episode for is out now. It seems like since episode 3 the changes have been
getting less and less drastic. The changes video for this episode should be
on sooner cuz of that. Ironically I do keep on saying more and more complaints about
there being no Titans, not enough action and about how these episodes are boring
I think a lot of people are gonna be in for a shock for the end of season 3 and
for season 4 stuff but anyway more important are your thoughts on this
episode question of the day!Hhow awesome was there to see commander badass's
gamble pay off? Did Erwin make the win look too easy? For
Eren fans are you disappointed about not seeing much of him this season? And how
do you feel about the uprising arcs so far? Do you think is too boring without
any Titan action? Is it too dull? Anyway be sure give this a Colossal thumbs
up and subscribe! If you're new to the channel I put out five plus anime videos
here every week! Definitely check out my anime vs. manga changes for the latest
