the survey core versus the Marely Titans continues! So what's up guys
Foxen here! Time to delve further into the latest
attack on Titan chapter 103 and yes this is a follow-up discussion video. Be sure
to check out the original breakdown then bounce back here. Anyway let's go ahead
and get started! The first topic I want to bring up is
Reiner and Falco. It turned out Reiner did that partial Titan transformation
last minute. There's a few takeaways from this which also involves Eren. Before all
of this they were having that discussion down below. That lasted for a good while
before Eren brought the building down. In other words imagine what would have
happened to these guys if Reiner didn't react quickly. This just means Eren
didn't give any fracks at all whether Falco died Reiner died. Although I'm sure
he knew Reiner was gonna survive this. As for how both of these guys survived
you got that flower looking thing. Which a lot of people think is symbolism
for the upcoming birth or possible transfer if you will. The very popular
theory right now is that Falco will become the new armored Titan let me know
where you stand on this. I personally don't have anything against it I just
question how this would realistically happen in his freakin war zone. I
mentioned before how Isayama did make the powers possible to transfer
however he made them in such a way that you cannot pull off that last-minute
power transfer cliche like you've seen another anime series. So I'll tell you
what if your for Reiner you're transferring the powers go ahead and
give me a detailed scenario of how this will happen. Although don't get me wrong
I'm not saying that it's not possible later on just not right now.
Next up can we just have some stallion appreciation. I mean my god after reading
this in high quality Jean was actually a freaking total badass this chapter. He
finally got a chance to get a payback on a cart Titan. Let's just hope Jean sticks
around so we could see more of this. Pn the receiving end however we have Pieck.
Let me touch on her. I'm pretty sure in this chapter throughout the battle Pieck
was questioning to herself what Zeke was up to beforehand. This was especially
going on even up to the final moments before she got taken out. You could just
see it on her face Pieck has figured it out. In some way Zeke has backstabbed
them and yes that leads us into one of the main topics
Zeke and the scouts are working together. This chapter had way too many suspicious
lines from Zeke not to mention how the events played out. If this chapter
doesn't make it completely obvious I'm not sure what would. I guess the only
thing left will be Zeke just coming out and saying it himself but before delving
deep into this let me say this. I've seen a handful of surprising comments in the
last chapter video breakdown. People seem outright super pissed at me
just mentioning the idea that Zeke and Scouts could be working together. I don't
think this applies to 99% of you watching because most of you are fine
with people having different views and opinions but really if you get angry at
someone just mentioning a theory that you don't like
you really gotta chill the hell out. Totally fine if you don't agree but
don't get physically mad that's just silly. I am thinking about doing a full
follow-up video just on this topic alone that'll be a complete breakdown of every
single reason about this and just keep in mind I'm not saying that Zeke is 100
percent turn on Marley but the chances are over
50% way over. Anyway let's delve into Zeke's betrayal. Reading this chapter
there are a mountain of hints. Some are valid and others are actually
questionable. For the questionable stuff I am talking about some of the lines
from the fan and official English translation. You'll see what I mean.
Anyway Zeke's betrayal of Marley. Let's go down the list for stuff in this
chapter alone. First off was Zeke going down way too easily.
Yes Levi has turned him into sushi before but this was beyond that. I think
even if you don't buy Zeke working with the scouts this should look suspicious.
This whole thing screams two things either one and bad writing or two
something shady is going on here. The whole events leading up to this seemed
way too scripted. To start off some people have been bringing up the point
about how Levi made this vertical slash on the beast Titan's neck. When I
heard this I was like what? But in the past Levi has done different techniques
to slice Titans. If he was going in for the kill or to kill Zeke specifically
doing this vertical slash seems weird almost as if he's giving Zeke a chance to
escape. To be fair I don't completely buy this but putting it out there. Another
thing about this chapter was just to notice the whole emphasis about them
talking about time. Why was time so important? In the
last chapter it was brought up briefly. In this chapter Jean specifically brings it
up and yes even in the original version they do have time in quotes. Moments
later you then have Zeke bringing up the fact that time is almost up. Key word
here being time. Which by the way the line was a little different in the
English translation. I actually think the fan translation is better but I still
don't think it's completely right. Zeke's original line here was "Jinkan
ga nain da rou" Which is closer to "There's not much more time is there?" By the way the
emphasis here is on time which in the same panel is then followed by a shot of
Levi looking at a freaking watch. This right here should scream out very
suspicious. Levi was definitely waiting for that keyword. Another things to
consider from the beast Titan is how the Beast didn't kill any scouts at all
this time. Sure he was aiming for them but really after killing all the scouts
last time? This time he couldn't even get one kill in. That seems super strange. To
be fair there were a couple of scout that just went in for kill against the Beast. For this I'm
assuming that not all the scouts got to'd of the plan. Some of the lower ones
probably just got told to ignore the Beast
and you saw what happened because they didn't follow instructions ended up
dying. Back to Levi though yeah Levi doing the vertical slash and then he
throws a bomb in there. I mean why for what purpose? The giant
monkey was already down he could have barbecued it. You gotta see it too. If Levi
really wanted to kill Zeke he could have easily done it with the blades. Bring
his head back. It would have been that easy but no instead he have Levi
chucking a bomb in there going for the overkill. At least that's what it looks
like to everyone else but I'm sure this was just a diversion for Zeke to get
away. That way you have Marley thinking that Zeke is dead. Another thing you
should notice and I know some people will bring it up it's just expression on
Levi's face. Look at thta. Would Levi looks like that if he was getting revenge for
Eren? To me that screams more of a face saying damn it I have to team up with
this bastard. Levi looks freaking disgusted. And I knew
some people are gonna bring up the promise that Levi made to Erwin to kill
the Beast Titan. The thing about it Levi is a pretty rational person he wouldn't
like it but he would definitely put paradise on an above his own motives. If
the scouts have met with Zeke they already know that he's
gonna die anyway but don't get me wrong it's not like Levi forgave Zeke. Levi is
definitely gonna keep a very close blade to Zeke's neck. The possibility of Levi
killing Zeke later on is still very much here. As for other things to notice about
Zeke in his chapter in the previous chapter and this one Zeke's clothes are
never shown and yes this may be a little bit of a stretch
but let's hear this out. Compare this to Peick. You know what she looks like inside
her Titan but for Zeke you only see his face. Could it because Zeke is
possibly wearing the new survey Corps uniform? It would make it easier to get
away. Think about it it is possible. Another key thing to notice about Zeke
is just all the stuff he's been saying. Zeke has been saying a bunch of lines
this chapter but they're all out loud. Whatever happened to Zeke's inner
monologue? You get the thoughts of all key players in this Titan war except
for Zeke? Really no thought from Zeke this whole freakin time?
How interesting that one of the smartest characters in this series doesn't think
of anything at all. As for the lines that Zeke actually says out loud in this
chapter I think a lot of them do have double meaning here although for one
specific page I don't agree with the translations at all.
One important shot is where the beast Titan says that Eren Yeager is not his
enemy. This by itself was pretty suspicious the first time reading it and
yes official English translation has the same line. I had a look at the Japanese
version just to double check this. In the original he doesn't exactly say "enemy"
the word he uses is "teki". "Teki" can mean "enemy" but it also can mean "opponent"
or "rival". Just considering the context and then him referring to levi
afterwards I think "opponent" would have been much more appropriate here.
In other words "Eren Yeager is not my opponent". If Zeke is gonna betray Marley
then saying something like Eren Yeager is not my enemy
that just seems too on-the-nose way too obvious. In the following page you then
have the Beast saying "Too bad that it's you. Come out Levi". The line about it being
"you" that by itself seems like a double meaning him probably referring to
Marley except let me just mention it that this fan translation is wrong.Tthe
original line here was "Mazu wa omae kara da". The official version for this
is right. IN other words Zeke here is just saying
how he's gonna start off with Levi. There wasn't any additional double-meaning
here at least none that was implied in the wrong translation. Anyway that was a
mountain of everything's that Zeke is about to betray Marley. At least from
this chapter. Is there anyone really out there that doesn't think this whole
situation just seems way too suspicious? At the minimum you should at least have
a 10% chance of Zeke turning. Anyway changing gears let's bring up the war
hammer. First off now you could actually get a great quality picture of Eren
trying to bite the Tybur crystal and wow look at it imagine how hard Eren
was trying to bite the hell out of it. His Titan face is gone. Forget about
visiting the Titan dentist your chompers disappeared. For the actual war
hammer also known as the Tybur sister she is done. The official translation for
this offers more insight. Eren goes ahead and talks about how she could have
destroyed the neck with that Warhammer tree move, that is if only she had more
energy. Thankfully Eren managed to get hard last minute and shielded himself
from being penetrated by the Warhammer. The line about low energy that was not
Eren talking about himself. He was referring to the Warhammer which to be
fair it is Eren's thought about the situation. He could be wrong. Right now the Tybur
sister seems to be in this Titan crystal state. I'm wondering are you allowed to
recover energy while like that? By the way I don't see another for Warhammer coming
out. Meanwhile Eren looks like he's full of energy he just took a full expresso
shot. As for Eren's possible trump card which is closer to the original line I
see a few possibilities for this. For starters Eren could have been referring
to himself in other words being able to go into Titan mode a few more times.
After all those four years Eren has been building up his Titan stamina.
Another possibility for Eren himself could be bringing out the founding Titan.
What I'm talking about is a different Titan that looks different from the
attack Titan just in case like a backup. I don't see it being physically strong
but if you don't have anything else why not?
The second option includes possibilities for Eren outside of himself. Eren
could be referring to something to do with Hange. Hange is still missing. No
doubt that Hange is still gonna play some major role in this fight and I'm
actually getting pretty excited just think about the possibilities that Hange
could drop on them. And then you know the other option
Hange could be talking about a new player coming in
aka Annie the female Titan could come in last minute on their side but at this
point talk about overkill if she really shows up. Then at some point Armin needs
to show that blonde colossal Titan. Sure Armin is pretty busy right now but there
is a chance he may come in close by last-minute. This could be part of the
Survey Corps escape plan. Let me briefly also touch on that mystery girl scout.
You seen her now in two chapters supposedly the popular theory right now
is that this is the one that Mikasa saved way back in Trost. To be
honest I'm not completely convinced here although it would be a fun idea of this
really turned out to be true. I mean back then she was like 10 11. Four years later
she would be Scout age. If this does turn out to be true hopefully they do have
some moment between her and Mikasa. Another question to bring up is who dies?
You saw how this wrapped up was Jean coming out at the end. Perhaps switching
to blades is not an option. At this point it seems that everyone expects
Jean to die next chapter. You're gonna have Gabi or Margath shoot Jean so is the
stallion officially dead? I think that it is possible but it seems way too obvious.
Instead I see either Jean getting seriously hurt but not dying or some
other Scout is gonna come in and get hurt by it. They could be Levi, Connie or
the one that led Gabi go Sasha or here's another possibility
Gabi shoots but misses and then hits Falco on accident. This then opens up the
possibility for Falco taking Reiner's armors Titan. The next chapter for
this is dropping more or less on April 7th that date being the Stallion's
birthday so is Isayama gonna kill Jean on his birthday?
I don't know that'd be pretty frakked up. Either way Isayama has confirmed
someone dying. So far there has been this Shinigami working on this battlefield.
Death in particular has been too kind to the survey corps side. Are they really
gonna escape this without a key scout dying or at the very minimum getting
super hurt? As for what should happen next
I do see there being a lot more to the attack on Titan story. This means at
least one more arc with around 20 chapters. For the scouts this means it's
time to retreat as soon as possible. Take the crystal and just have Eren swallow
the damn thing and don't choke on it. Someone else also have to capture Reiner.
He's super free for the taking. Mikasa is about to give that sushi treatment to
the jaws and then Jean come on please stop. Someone help him capture Pieck
instead. On the flip side what is going to happen to Marley after this horrible
loss? I think this goes back to what I brought up in my original breakdown.
Let's say the Survey Corps and Paradise Island get out of this extremely fine.
Everything goes according to plan. At worse for them one person is shot but no
major player is dead and for the moment forget about Zeke.
Of course this doesn't look like a great way to tell a story. It definitely
wouldn't be something you see coming out of Isayama except how about if he
does it like this? Isayama did mention how Paradise Island would be
seen as the villains to the world. He's trying really hard to show that. At least
to the Marley nation these Scouts are very much those devils they've been
taught about. Regardless of whether it was justified or not Eren did pull
something similar to what the Warriors did back in episode 1. That was right
when wall Maria came crashing down. Sure not totally the same situation but
there are a good amount of similarities. As the scouts try to escape Marley
there could be more destruction of their nation. I could see there being one or
two more nukes to destroy and wipe out more Marley forces. You then have the
war hammer Pieck, jaws and the Beast all of these Marley Titans are about to be
captured or killed by the Survey Corps. Ultimately this then follows by Levi
and the scouts retreating back to Paradise Island. Now the important question comes
out what happens to Marley then? Marley would have just suffered a devastating
blow to the military. They also now have no Titan shifters these would have been
the ones they relied on for war all this time. At this point the surrounding
nations also known as the enemies of Marley would have taken notice. These
nations don't know the exact details but their world leaders just got killed in
this Tybur festival. For them at this point who cares.
This once superpower nation is now totally defenseless so this is where I
can see Isayama taking the story. Marley would have experienced something similar
to Paradise Island when Wall Maria came down. Initially a good chunk of
people died at the start but then by extension hundreds of thousands of
people died in the following mission to reclaim wall Maria. For Marley the extra
damage is gonna come from the second wave of attacks and they're not gonna be
from the scouts. I see Marley potentially getting
totally wiped out. Meanwhile for the current Eldians
they could be sent to other nations. These Eldians would then be forced to
join a follow-up invasion towards Paradise Island but interesting part
about the scenario is that Isayama could show this happening super
quickly too in the manga. I guess history does in fact repeat itself.
Unfortunately for Marley they're back up to the receiving end of this again but
anyway that is a Titan impossible theory more important let me hear from you! Is
the beast Titan really dead or did the events in this chapter finally confirm
Zeke's betrayal? Does anyone honestly think that Levi
killed him? Let's not forget about the tiber sister is she officially out of
juice or can Miss Tiber get her hammer up one more time?
Also the armored Titan, what's gonna happen a Reiner? Are you on the side of
Falco becoming the new one or is Eren about to bring back a second souvenir
with him? Post a comment below with your thoughts on all of this! If you made it to
the end definitely give us a Colossal thumbs up and subscribe! A lot more
attack on Titan videos are coming and yes I'll be a full Zeke breakdown too. By
the way Isayama just had a few Q&A sessions where he dropped a lot of juicy
info. This is about the older Eren, Levi, Erwin and the original colossal Titan
check that out and I'll see you guys later
