Rod's massive 120 meter Titan! What got
upgraded or axed here? So What's up guys Foxen
here! Seems like the latest attack on
Titan season 3 episode and gave a good
chunk of you nightmare fuel with this
monstrosity. How fitting
juicy changes for the very juicy turkey
Titan. Can I even call it that
anymore? So let's go ahead and get
started. At the start of the episode you
saw Levi's and the Survey Corps trying to go
deeper into this crystal cave.
Unfortunately they got stopped by this
blockade from Kenny squad. You heard me
mention this might review a few days ago.
At this point anything you saw between
Ross Titan transformation and Historia
trying to unchain Eren, anything
that involved the Survey Corps and Kenny
squad was nearly added for the attack on
Titan season 3 anime. I don't really mind
some connected tissue added just to show
what everyone else was doing. In the
manga version the next time you saw
Levi and friends was with Mikasa caught
Historia and then Levi was trying to
unleash the beast which is Mikasa is
named for Eren. The next time you saw
Kenny squad was unfortunately when these
guys we're getting crushed and liquefied
by Rod's Titan transformation more on
this later.
Next up you got the new best and
kick-ass girl Historia trying to unchain
Mr. cry-baby Eren, which were her words
by the way. For a few seconds do you do
see Historia recalling back to Ymir
and just how much she's been influenced
by her. Notice how a manga Historia
actually recalled back to both Ymir
and Frieda. At this point it seems like
the season 3 anime axed any callbacks
that Historia had to Freida. hmm You could
only wonder why what Isayama is
planning. Next up in the following shot
Historia is thrown against a wall but
then caught by Mikasa.
You could clearly see Rod's medicine bag
right next to her. There's a whole lot of
Titan potion goodies that came out.
Anything related to this bag wasn't
actually in the manga version when
Mikasa caught Historia. I went ahead and
checked back panel by panel in the manga
just trying to see what happened to the
bag. Turns out the bag originally flew
away before Historia even try to
unchain Eren. Also major change the
manga version had 5 Titan bottles fly
out instead of four like the anime
version. Next up the rescuing Princess
Erin scene so you got a change here with
anime Levi's unlocking the first shackle
that he's holding. You know
since Levi already had the freaking
keys. Manga Levi for whatever reason let
Connie do the honors first so a great fix
right here! As her something extra added
to Eren here you had the new line from
anime Eren telling captain Levi and
others to forget about him and escape.
I'm guessing this goes back to what
Isayama mentioned about wanting to make
Eren appear more useless in the anime
version. Complete success! Next up in the
falling shot where you have Eren, Levi
and everyone else recreated the Toy
Story 3 final moment scene one thing to
notice is how this whole platform
they're standing on was way bigger for
them in the anime version. In the
following Eren ab shot Oh cuz they
love these
you'll notice that lone Titan potion
bottle to the side. In the manga scene
and the full bag was still there. For the
actual Titan hardening potion there's a
slight difference with the markings on
it. It also looks like they made the
bottle into glass so you're gonna see
the purple Titan juices inside of it now.
Oh when the cave was a lot more
reflective in the manga. Next up Eren
becoming the alchemist Titan. There's a
whole lot of new content added here. I
personally found Eren's titan crystal
manipulation very interesting. I don't
think it was just for show either.
Eren's Titan crystal here resembles
the plant roots rapidly sprouting. It's
then followed by this almost thord wall
also quickly expanding. Now compare this
to the manga version. You got Eren
smashing that Titan potion then boom
Shakalaka
Instant Titan crystal structure
created. You could bet that this thing
wasn't made immediately however
Isayama didn't show you the step by step
process in the manga. As for Kenny's
squad here Kenny's squad getting crushed
got moved up here from the manga.
Originally you saw this from Kenny's
flashback some time later on. You could go
ahead and see the manga panel. I just
removed the dialogue to avoid any
possible spoilers. By the way that whole
scene of Armin and Moblit carrying away
Hange along with the church area getting
completely destroyed was a new scene
added for the anime. This also meant
these guys happened to be the first ones
to witness Rod's beyond colossal Titan.
Quite the honor. Further added was this
new shot from Erwin and his troops. It
looks like they took a line originally
from Armin. Once again they're repeating
how big this thing is twice as big as a
Colossal Titan.
Anyway back to Eren's rock-hard crystal
Titan take a look at how this compares
to the manga shot of it. No surprise that
the anime crystal is much more detailed.
It almost seems like a part of this tree
structure or perhaps crystal spider-man
webbing. Oh and yes it's freaking blue
crystal!
I really wasn't joking around before
about how many people call me crazy for
only suggesting that Eren's Titan
crystal will be similar to Annie's. By
the way a quick note about that mid info
card right here. This thing tells you
about Eren's new ability to get his
Titan hard however did you notice? It
also mentioned the previous Hange
experiments too. This kind of sucks I was
thinking maybe flashback later to Hange's
Titan experiments that they skipped over
but after this I'm really doubting it so
damn it. I really want to see Eren
doing Titan calculus. Next up in the
following scene you have Levi
congratulating Eren for his new Titan
ability. They could all finally restart
that mission to plug the hole in wall
Maria. During this Eren Thinks back to
the Titan bought a potion. As for what
was cut here which I found really
strange. Manga Eren asked around for
Rod's bag I mean it's got to have more
Titan goodies in there. Unfortunately
Historia hve revealed the bag's fate. This
thing got all crispy and burned up from
Rod's heat. Sorry Eren but all random
miracles have been melted and evaporated
away. Come on horse boy or potato girl
why didn't one of you grab one of these
on the ground? All right now for Rod's
turkey Titan compare this to the first
manga look of it. This thing got quite
the upgrade for the anime version. This
thing looks much more grotesque. The only
bad part about it is that it doesn't
really look like a turkey anymore.
Overall I am enjoying the facelift this
thing off for the season three anime.
They even gave you much more of Rod's
Titan in season three so far compared to
the manga chapter. You hardly saw this
thing. As for the Rod Titan rampaging
away Erwin's group is the first one to
come close. Right here they notice how
everything that comes in contact is set
ablaze. They also think this thing must
be an abnormal Titan since his colossal
beast is ignoring all humans around it.
Originally both of these observations
were made by manga Armin when he got out
of the cave. Anyway back to Eren on the
cart before Erwin even met up with
them. The anime cut out something for
anime. Manga anime actually tried to use
his
Titan scream or command ability
from before. You know ,how he controlled
Titans at the end of season 2.
anime was trying to see if he could use
his Titan controlling powers again to
command Rod's
turkey Titan however no luck. anime was
just punching away at the air for
nothing. I don't know why they cut this
out.
I really wish they kept it in. As for
Erwin arriving here
Erwin asked about their casualties.
Hange at this point couldn't even get
up. In comparison manga aHangegie was much
more lively with her greeting to him.
It's almost as if anime Hange got
injured much worse!
As for the Survey Corps within the
district quite the change right here. For
the manga it cut straight to Erwin's
plan to battle rods Titan. For the season
three anime you got Levi informing
Historia about Erwin's orders to make her
Queen. Right here you have so much mix
and mashing from one scene that was cut
from earlier. Originally manga Levi did
tell Historia to become queen but this
happened way earlier. It actually took
place before Eren and Historia were
even kidnapped at the time. Manga
Historia was still very much lost and
trying to find herself. Of course there
was no way that's broken down Historia
would even think about taking this new
role as Queen. This whole situation led
into something else cut from Levi and I
really have mixed feelings on it.
Manga Levi had to use his ackerman
persuasion to help Historia make up
her mind about becoming Queen. Levi even
told the poor girl to fight back if she
didn't like this destiny chosen for her.
Of course this side of Levi doesn't exist
anymore for the anime. Even if you just
forget about Levi getting physical with
Historia
there still is a good chunk cut out from
Levi. After he drops Historia his whole
conversation here is really telling from
Levi. Manga Levi goes ahead and asked
her whether she really thought those
around her would be around the next day.
Something like that it wasn't what most
people even thought about
however Levi does. Perhaps that's what
makes him abnormal. Even so Levi told
her that if Wall Rose were busted down
the next day that he would be faster
than any one of them to fight back. Levi
would fight back even if it meant facing
that hell of titans again. He's always
wanted to put an end to this Titan
nightmare that humanity is constantly
facing. Levi was totally fine was taking
this role of this lunatic who kills
people
since he's chosen the hell of humans
killing one another over Titans killing
humans. At this point I'm not sure how
much
has really got through Historia but in
the end the more so broken Historia
agreed to play the next role that had
been decided for her, that being the
queen of the walls. Overall I do like how
the events played out with the more
confident Historia deciding on her own.
That being said it does feel like a loss
for Levi to not hear this from him.
That's why I'm really hoping that this
comes back in some form or another.
Anyway I do love how Historia used
this opportunity to demand that
condition of hers about joining this
battle. This originally happened a bit
later on top of the wall. At this point
Levi had no choice but to let her do
whatever she wanted.
I mean Rod was like right next to them.
By the way related to this is that line
from Mikasa telling Historia to smack
Levi's ass later. I've seen a lot of you
questioning this line from her. Why did
Mikasa randomly say this to her?
Mikasa hasn't always been that big of a
fan of Levi you know ever since Levi
tenderized Eren at the Court. However this
line originally came from the Reeves
Boss. The Reeves Boss told Historia to smash
Levi's later during their whole fake
kidnapping plan. Since the Reeves Boss was
mostly cut out over the anime the line
was given to Mikasa instead. So hope you
enjoyed this more detailed breakdown!
