wtf moments and a lot of easter eggs and they're paying off a lot of long-running plots explaining

time we'll do a giveaway for crunchyroll premium memberships all you have to do to enter is just be
a subscriber and leave your favorite moment from the episode on the video careful for spoilers
if you have not seen the episode i'm just gonna number these as we go along just to stay organized
but Eren our protagonist since the beginning now is being portrayed as the villain of the series in
a way so to speak he doesn't think of himself as the villain but he kind of understands what he's
doing he's basically here in marley though to collect more titan abilities like pokemon gotta
catch em all gotta catch all those titan powers the other reason why he's doing this if it wasn't
clear from last week's episode they kind of imply but i don't think they explicitly talked about why
he was doing all this is because he's trying to start a war in order to end it faster and he's
also trying to marley's military structure it's hard to talk about his true intentions without
getting into spoilers for stuff we haven't seen so if you have read the manga ahead of this please
do not post those spoilers in the comments you learn a lot more about why Eren came to this
decision too they haven't explained too much of it you kind of assume what he's thinking in his
conversation with reiner in last week's episode like okay this is the only way to end all this
suffering but it's much more complicated than that he didn't just turn on a dime and decide
to do all this by himself but at the beginning of the episode they do this big flashback where
you find out willy's plan to bring the jaegers in line and keep things from getting out of control
like he himself had his own plan as part of this knowing that he was going to his death
so it wasn't like Eren's actions were a complete surprise he knew that something was going to
happen and they were trying to spin that to their advantage he just didn't account for how
crazy things were going to get you also see that they agonize over the inevitable collateral damage
in a way that Eren doesn't at least not verbally you kind of register it on his face when he's
talking to mikasa later like you can see that he understands the weight of what he's done
there's no coming back from this but willy tyber and magath just talk it out a little bit more
verbalizing some of their regrets about all this like yes it is terrible that all the people in the
internment camp the eldians will die they are our people remember willy tyber is an Eldian
himself even though in previous episodes when he was talking to all those assembled nations he was
talking about the Eldians as if they were devils but the whole idea with this and they sort of
hammered this home with a lot of the other story lines is that everyone in this conflict will have
blood on their hands no one is free from blame in the greater conflict between marley and Paradis
if you're a big rick and morty fan they did a version of that storyline during rick and
morty season 3 on the citadel of ricks where you have that line same old same old morty's killing
mortys where the police morty winds up killing a whole bunch of other mortys it's a war it's ugly
that's just the way it goes then they jump forward in time to the very end of episode 5 in that same
moment as willy's being killed by Eren who then begins to fight the warhammer titan revealed to
be willy's younger sister previously they'd kept the inheritor of the warhammer titan a secret
within their family just to prevent assassination attempts like in an earlier episode he's talking
to macgath and says i bet you wonder where the warhammer titan is yes it's definitely
somewhere in this house one of us definitely has it but he wouldn't reveal who it was
the crowd scrambles in the chaos but i love the way that the assembled marleyan leadership the
military leaders there just sit there just staring even one of them just knows that he's about to
die and just takes it calmly like yep this is definitely going to happen i am definitely going
to get eaten by this titan here most of the marley and warrior candidates themselves are either
killed or scattered but you still have falco gabi and a couple others that have survived
as willy's sister activates the warhammer titan you notice how the rest of the marley military in
the area just sort of chill out a little bit like oh finally we're saved the warhammer titan is here
they will destroy this new titan will be able to take the powers of the founding titan because all
the stories they've been told about the warhammer titan going back to the great titan war 100 years
ago make it seem like the warhammer titan is invincible the tyber's are invincible because
they've never actually seen it in a real battle before but the problem that a lot of you probably
realized before this is that his sister who's never actually really used the warhammer titan
is extremely inexperienced she doesn't know how to wield it to its full abilities and Eren has long
since mastered all of the abilities of the attack titan as well as more advanced titan abilities
like hardening so even though she's able to get in some really good blows with the warhammer titans
basic powers she is completely outmatched in this fight Pieck and marcel are able to escape
that pit that yelena dumped them into when Pieck reveals that she didn't lose it when she saw her
military comrades from the panzer unit earlier she was secretly orchestrating a plan to have
them come rescue her because she suspected yelena this whole time a suspected beardy this whole time
then as they prepare to shift into their titans Pieck flips out at the revelation that the forces
of Paradis have also infiltrated marley in our attacking as if Eren's titan weren't enough for
them to deal with they only thought that there was a titan to deal with they didn't know this was
going to be a full-scale attack and pretty much all of marley is unprepared for this because it's
largely an inside job like willy tyber was talking about earlier we get to see the warhammer titans
namesake ability as it fashions a giant warhammer smashing Eren in the chest then creates a field
of spikes all around him and as Eren is coming under fire from all over the place it's really
easy to see who's more advanced in situations like this with their titan abilities just based on how
they react to stuff like this when it gets real crazy notice how Eren knows to protect his nape
a new titan inheritor wouldn't know to do that but mcgoth is hoping that the warhammer titan is going
to be able to eat Eren's titan to gain the power of the founding titan but even though she's able
to lop off his head with a crushing blow from her hammer Eren advanced titan user survives
no big surprise there and when she asks if he has any last words he reveals the true extent
of their orchestrated attack on marley calling mikasa and the others into action the combined
forces of the survey corps attacked the warhammer with their newly upgraded 3d maneuvering gear and
the thunderspheres technology they developed from the more advanced 3d gear that the Eldian military
interior police have been creating for the sole purpose of fighting the survey core they've had
the thunderspheres for a little while now because they use them against reiner's armor titan a while
ago but the bigger upgrades are integrating that with the special new 3d maneuvering gear
the thunder spears are basically just extra hardcore anti-titan weapons for piercing hardened
titan skins like the warhammer titan and the armor titan possess i love the way that mikasa pauses
mid carnage to tell Eren to come home because he's been doing this secret marley plan for years at
this point but as he explained to falco in last week's episode he'd been using him to pass them
messages this whole time so it's not like he's been completely out of communication with all of
his friends this whole time it's just that they haven't actually seen him in a long long time
marley does their best to mobilize all remaining forces in the area everywhere from around even in
the bay all their ships there'll be some special surprises there in next week's episode no spoilers
if you've read the manga still though they're taken completely by surprise in the survey corps
members argue about collateral damage too hurting innocent people the same conversation that willy
tyber was having earlier in the episode before this big attack happened but you notice that
on both sides some feel like everyone deserves it that they're hurting like the marley people
deserve everything that's happening to them even though we're technically killing innocent people
they all deserve what happens to them we need a devil like Eren right now i love the way
they refer to Eren as a devil like everyone thinks that the eldians are devils even the other Eldians
it's more that idea that Eren has become the villain of the story at least for right now
and even though mikasa will follow Eren anywhere even into death she also tries to get him to
realize what he's done and even though he doesn't argue with her or try to deny anything that she's
saying that sad look on his face that he gives her makes it seem like he understands what he's done
but still thinks this is the only way i'll never be able to undo this or come back from this but
this is the only way then we jump back to gabi who's just gone completely off the rails with
her desire for revenge she's able to pursue a few survey corps members including sasha
so she's gonna have blood on her hands pretty soon too the whole thing that falco was trying
to prevent by beating her in their test to take her out of the running for inheriting a titan
so that she wouldn't have to go to war on Paradis she'd be able to have his happy normal life this
whole quest for revenge is going to be a big part of gabi's character arc going forward with falco
right now she's dead set against the Paradis Eldian's being devils don't talk to them don't
be friends with them kill them all every chance you get but they eventually raise the question you
know what about the normal everyday eldians living on Paradis rodies are they devils too the ones who
never wielded a titan the ones who are just calmly trying to lead normal lives she's an aldean just
like them and you remember that falco sort of had this realization on his face when he was
there for Eren and reiner's conversation about how they're both the same and Eren no longer harbors
any resentment against reiner he doesn't hate him anymore for his actions as the armored titan
no longer has any real desire to destroy him in reiner is also regretting a lot of the things that
he did as the armor tightened as well even though things got really crazy at the end of last week's
episode when Eren transformed they effectively put aside their differences but gabi wasn't there like
falco so she hasn't come to that realization you notice that the warhammer titan is still using
pretty rudimentary weapons against mikasa who's making pretty quick work of it with her new 3d
gear and the thunder spears and levi was already amazing with the 3d gear before they got their big
upgrades so he wrecks in this episode but he's even better in next week's episode and Eren is
able to figure out the powers of the warhammer titan on the fly like he immediately senses what's
really going on wait a minute the reason why it was created from the ground up is because the
person is not inside the titan it's being remote piloted so he forms his new attack titan body and
digs the control pod which is a giant crystal just like annie's crystal out of the ground but when
he tries to eat the pod right before he can he's attacked by marcel using his jaw titan who himself
is also relatively inexperienced with his titan abilities he flips when he's not able to bite
right through Eren's shoulder and the reason he's not able to do that is because Eren mastered the
hardening ability using it to fortify his attack titan skin now it's not as strong as the warhammer
titan skin or reiner's armor titan plating but it's still way stronger than it would normally be
the end on the cliffhanger there and if you have read the manga please don't post spoilers for what
happens next but you are all in for something really special next week one of the really cool
things that you see them pay off in this episode and obviously continue forward in next week's
episode is really advanced in creative use of titan powers so when the series first started
it was just really cool that Eren could turn into a titan he could punch things really hard but then
through the course of the series you learn about the advanced titan abilities about the many many
different abilities that they all possess some of them are unique some of them have the same powers
for instance the attack titan's ability to inherit memories from future inheritors of the titan
unlike the other versions of the titans which can only inherit the memories of previous wielders but
we're in the middle of this fight here where you have two really inexperienced titans the warhammer
titan and the jaw titan going up against Eren who's mastered all of the powers of the attack
titan which makes him formidable enough by itself but on top of that he's also been able to use some
of the powers of the founding titan remember you can only unlock the true abilities or use the true
abilities of the founding titan if you're a member of the royal family you have royal blood in you or
if you're touching someone with royal blood we'll get into that with some of the future episodes
with historia because she has royal blood in her and zeke because he also has royal blood in him
also we didn't see zeke at all in this episode but you know he's in a teaser for next week's episode
so he'll be back and they'll explain more of his role in this giant attack here and reiner was
absent in this week's episode last seen diving to protect falco from Eren's transformation so he'll
also be back in next week's episode along with falco but it's only gonna get crazier and crazier
i'm loving season four so far i feel like this is going to be a masterpiece of a season i'm really
hopeful that they're able to end this really well even though there's only 16 episodes which is kind
of a bummer you would hope that they would do like 20 plus episodes because there's so much more plot
for them to get through we're not even close to catching up with the manga right now and the manga
is supposed to be ending in april if you didn't see the announcements so depending on whether or
not they take any breaks between episodes in the future we might wind up getting the very
last episode in the very last issue of the manga around the same time which would help prevent
some spoilers but if you have any big questions are there any big easter eggs during the episode
that i didn't mention in the video just write them below in the comments my episode 7 video will post
next week you can click here for my attack on titan season 4 trailer video where i talk about
some of the other easter eggs that haven't actually come up yet and you can click here
