For this episode there was actually quite a bit cut out i should mention it was a juicy
filled dialogue chapter some of the stuff cut out was not as bad as you might think
although i know some of the bigger cuts will get some of the heated this whole episode
covered about two chapters 93 half of 94 and the start of 95. The episode is titled the
midnight train which is the same title chapter 93.
Kicking off the first cut a line removed in the manga this adolf dude seemed a lot more
steamed he emphasized how the only reason that zeke was able to sink those ships was
all thanks to the beast titan's efforts for an additional anime detail you could clearly
see a different language on the newspaper this ties back to the enemies they were just
shooting up next anime cut an entire page for magath he explains how the majority of
this four year war was through naval engagement with that Marley's titans were useless comparing
Marley's naval capabilities to their enemies the allied forces have more advanced and powerful
battleships Marley stuff is just too outdated he highlighted how them relying on titans
had made them complacent which allowed their enemies to surpass him overall despite a whole
page removed informal eye is not much lost for a bigger anime cut could this be a red
con you're no longer shown the map of the vast marly empire in the attack of titan manga
you could clearly tell that Marley corresponds to africa and a chunk of europe only a flipped
version for the anime now nothing which is weird since they have seen two different views
of the map in the anime before i'm not ready to call this a complete retcon but it seems
the anime does want to make the exact location vague the anime now instead replaces us with
a new scene of the commander standing and looking at the sea. As for the bums raining
down comment the anime skipped them specifying those being hundreds of kilograms in size
as for zeke the boy of miracles or this progeny kid the anime for whatever reason called him
a golden boy what the hell then for zeke suggesting the retake plan weird kind of annoying thing
i've noticed which is really just the inconsistency of how titan names are translated this happens
pretty often for the founding titan the name founding titan is used in the manga founder
and the anime but i've seen this switch too for zeke proposing his plan he now stands
up in the anime gotta look high and mighty for an anime cut this adolf dude mentions
he's never doubted zeke's loyalty the boy who sold out his own parents which is why
zeke's advice would be taken into account getting into zeke lighting up lovely new scene
for the anime in the anime you have them walking up to this busted a building complete with
sheets left out to dry compare this to the manga where you actually have a more detailed
establishing shot you can see the building structures along with some people in the background
getting into one of my bigger cuts i brought up in my review the explanation about the
beast titans power anyone given zeke's spinal fluids will now erupt into a titan via his
roar the beast titan is then freely able to command those titans and they're also able
to move at night when the moon is out on top of this cult mention how no previous beast
titan could do this i really had a question why they removed this beast titan tidbit i'm
still waiting at coming back in a future beast titan scene maybe a mid info card continuing
with the anime cuts Colt mentioned the titan society having no ideas either this was regarding
why zeke's beats titan was so special this titan society is supposed to be this research
group within Marley they study audience and titans so does this line being removed red
condom 2 now let's see if the anime removed any future mention of them. For Magath coming
in there was a little bit more banter between him and Zeke. Magath asked him if he was interested
Eldian asses the commander also revealed he's known Zeke for over 20 years anyway for the
mention of the 32 ships lost the manga actually showed you an image of the ships on the way
to paradise island then for zeke discussing the titan powers this was abridged in the
anime Magath thought about how Eren has a founding and Attack titan the colossal titan
and female titan however unknown so far our new Eldian with titan powers has not been
discovered further cut cult brought up Reiner's report claiming people on paradise island
shouldn't know how to pass down the Titan powers to which Zeke immediately claimed that
Reiner wouldn't have been able to check out the whole island the possibility for the people
on the island to pass down the powers does exist and for our last chunk here Zeke really
just gave a quick recap of everything 22 years ago the owl snuck away Grisha and the Attack
titan and how the royal family switched over to the Reiner name but the mention of titans
being used to stop their ships the manga actually showed the attack titan plus a tease at the
new colossal titan. I gotta say i don't mind the anime skipping this i really would much
rather Mappa save the resources for when it matters talking about other issues than Eren
the anime cut out the talk about the special weapons designed to kill titans and here's
a major cut which was about the accurate Zeke described the Ackerman as a bloodline once
thought to only exist in legends toured by the royal family the Ackerman clan being a
byproduct of titan science you could just feel Zeke's ptsd four years later recalling
these two he said he never wants to meet them again so think about this why the major cut
regarding the Ackerman in the manga this is probably one of the juiciest reveal about
them the possible retcon question comes up unlike the beast titan info where you can
naturally move that elsewhere for this acumen stuff it's not really the same the only thing
that comes to mind is a certain family talk so for this one too let's see if the anime
switches it over to a mid info card in the anime this now switches over to Mikasa and
Levi going full Ackerman mode notice the filter they applied this might be how they're gonna
handle past scenes made by wit studio even for these two Ackerman scenes the manga version
was different it instead showed levi going down to take out Reiner meaning it was Reiner
picture in this instead of zeke the anime just combined their Ackerman fears it also
showed his colossal titan body to the left which the anime skipped out on this actually
does make sense. Reiner at this point would have already been captured hence he didn't
see him switching over to the bromance porco no longer looking blonde like the trailer
shot i gotta say that anime Porco get friendlier after Reiner thanked him Porco originally
dismissed him saying it wasn't Reiner who he saved he was just keeping his motherland
of Marley from losing the armored titan due to his screw-up then for Porco talking about
his bro being eaten the manga actually showed the panel of marcel pushing Reiner away from
the mere jaws titan as for Reiner asking porco whether he had seen Marcel's memory the anime
could have parked with his little jab unfortunately he hadn't yet seen Reiner abandoned Marcel
and run off ho ho at least now you get a better look at Ymir's final moment in the anime which
you could actually compare it to the wit studio version that Historia saw from Ymir’s letter
yeah super supposed to know she died back in season three he then had porgo sing Reiner
from Ymir's memories the manga she showed you a glimpse of this reliable figure role
that he played on the island parkour even outright states that he was imitating marcel
the anime cut out Reiner agreeing with everything that parkour claimed about him instead best
grow Pieck broke the tension for Pieck let's get a good look at her you got season 4 Pieck
the manga version and the one in the trailer who's the best you decide switching to the
port you got a new anime original shot of the soldier with this local lady oh there
is some fun happening tonight for this weird udo scene i figured out what was wrong with
it you actually have a cut in the scene where it jumps forward it's one of those things
that you would only do if you replace another clip in between it feels like an easy blu-ray
fix oh and this guy got a longer coat for the anime. As for Falco trying to comfort its
little crush the anime has skipped over some rider info he brought up how the Armor titan
survived getting his head blown off before this time everything but his head got messed
up which means Reiner gets to suffer another day don't worry for an anime edition oh Udo
getting a little too friendly with sofia aren't you for this scene i do like how you could
spot the soldiers hitting up the local ladies in the background Reiner later on makes him
comment about them being too young for this side of town which means he could imagine
what type of fun is happening over here then for the mysterious dude checking out Reiner
and the kids the anime now positioned this guy on the rooftop in the manga he was trailing
from behind he emphasized how the only reason that zeke was able to sink those ships was
due to the armored titan's efforts with the distressed Reiner oh my god look at that background
a freaking boat passing by plus a sunset come on Mappa give us more of this then for the
mysterious lady checking out Reiner and the kiss the anime nat positioned this person
on the rooftop in the manga they were trolling from behind for the past warrior cameos the
anime actually updated their closing into their training outfits which shouldn't match
an upcoming flashback a midnight on a train hmm Mappa Studio placing some purple flowers
to the side or have you seen this before celebrating the little Eldian goddess the anime sure made
gabby look much more peeved along with smacking that drunk lightweight likewise for the captive
audience actually detailed for the audience the manga counterpart bunch felt like a quick
afterthought with the drunk celebration in full effect you got anime gabby now shouting
me me me manga gabby looked like she was almost in tears switching over to Falco and Reiner
the anime skipped over her Reiner only has two years left on his term time for a serving
of insanity manga Reiner was much more in depth colt would be stripped to any right
for the beast titan their entire family will become a titan care package then with up close
craze Reiner looks like Reiner has much more bite in human form for a cut line Reiner told
Falco that if he wants to save gaby then he has to surpass her arriving back home love
the anime scene of the train reaching the station for the establishing shot why does
this seem awfully familiar different location same cage walls just a tad shorter unfortunately
home sweet home to the Eldians within Marley super jump gabby another trailer shot completely
redone by the anime for this anime cut dammit Reiner telling gabby to shut it instead you
got a new anime scene you got a head pat from porco and more praise from Pieck gotta be
awfully kind to gabby the anime actually skipped over some juicy Reiner info four years ago
Reiner actually took full responsibility for the failed paradise island operation Reiner
worked his ass off he proved himself battle after battle risking his life on the battlefield
in the end he succeeded proving his worth next anime cut a full page of Falco and gabby
gabby noticed Falco constantly eyeing his cupcake to which gabby gave him a ton of crap
about everyone around them came to the obvious conclusion meanwhile the oblivious gabby was
getting super pissed next anime cut a weird one before getting to Liberio we had a lead-up
of morally people glaring at the incoming Eldian soldiers passing through looks like
this got replaced with Porco and the anime telling Falco see ya bro along with the two
lovers going at it again and then a bonus of Pieck two seems like every time there's
a Porco interaction it must be followed by a Pieck one talking about Pieck you actually
now see her coughing papa switching to the jaeger family oh the anime was not kind to
papa grisha sayonara hair. Next full anime page cut the conversation between gabby and
her parents it looks like they heard about their little amazonian on the battlefield
really mostly gushy parent stuff no biggie loss for the Braun family on the left did
they intentionally make this guy resemble marco oh you are cruel Mappa. switching over
to the injured Eldians the anime added a new quick scene showcasing what they experienced
no wonder some of these guys lost limbs getting to the dinner time now raining in the anime
version the anime skipped over gabby actually admitting that she took advantage of the anime
not wanting to shoot a little girl which by the way this is one of the few times you actually
get a good look at gabby's parents they look generic as hell in the manga for Reiner freaking
love the detailed the rain reflection you could see on his shirt for a gabby cut you
had gabby trying to comfort mama Reiner telling her that the warriors would protect her from
those island devils then a cut from papa braun he let out how there was no telling when those
island devils would destroy their world which is why you couldn't blame the rest of the
world for fearing Eldian getting into Reiner talking about those said devils the manga
actually showed you the flashback of Reiner shocked by that potato devil and this included
the rest of the devil squad this even included a younger version of the warriors new classic
shot of a loud noise interrupting too then for mama braun going off a key detail skipped
she went on about how those devils turned this world into hell. That the Eldians had
built their utopia on a mountain of corpses new anime scene you got a poor ld and dude
slipping while trying to get some fresh air new day lovely new far shot within the Eldian
camp going forward the anime actually skipped over to the next chapter it acts down two
pages at the beginning you were able to see gabby and Reiner walking down the streets
you had fellow Eldians greeting Reiner as he passed by gabby too these two warriors
are releasing as their future then the anime completely cut out the interaction with the
two Marley guards one of the guys here was even curious to hear about gabby boasting
about her battlefield feat shame Mappa removed this it was meant to show that some Marley
people don't outright hate Eldians getting into a chunkier anime removal gabby brought
up how blood relatives have a much better chance of inheriting memories this is when
taking in one of the nine special titans although this according to the scientists are more
accurate the titan society from the japanese texts take notice this is actually the second
time that this titan research group got deleted. Gabby then mentions that if she does inherit
the armored titan Reiner would probably live inside of gabby which sounds like a sentence
from hell. Gabby then went on saying they would clear a path for Eldia's future together Reiner
finished it off with the head pant next to page cut you were able to see Reiner part
ways from gabby as she went into the training area you could see other warrior candidates
running around training Falco in particular was more pumped than usual so you have Falco
being fully focused on trying to surpass gabby gotta beat gabby to save gaby he even outright
tells her that he's going to get the armored titan on her to which gabby responds with
the head smash notice this was the scene from the trailer it makes it kind of funny when
you consider Falco as voiced by Tanjiro's voice actor getting into best girl Pieck ho
ho i know Pieck fans were not pleased the anime cutout Peck down on all fours seems
like Pieck really got used to being a titan for an extended period of time meanwhile i'm
not sure if Porco was just surprised or somewhat turned on by this foreplay so did
Isayama require this being removed you know don't want to get attack on titan canceled in
2020. so without that previous Pieck scene it now gives anime Pieck being oh so laid
back during this meeting a completely different vibe anyway getting into the important monkey
meeting the anime skipped over the intro zeke went over how Marley had used titans against
any nation that opposed him due to this the world's hatred towards Eldian had skyrocketed
in present day the call for Eldians to be exterminated was happening even more any possible
discussion about human rights for aliens was pretty much non-existent then for the tiber
family newly added for the anime was zeke busting out that photo of them no surprise
some type of info skipped this was a family that opposed the Eldian king in the great
titan war a century ago they were currently treated as honorary marlians. the Tyburs themselves
did not get involved in politics or war. Zeke claimed that they agreed to his plan due to
the fears about the future for Eldia and Marley as for the talk about this great declaration
the manga gave you a nice tease of mr tiber taking the stage then for the east dropping
Marley guys the added detail on the anime was them taking notes instead of passively
listening for the thick Reiner focus the detail about them always getting this ideological
checkup before a major operation got skipped so let me know what did you think about this
episode was too much fat trimmed out i think i was fine overall with how the episode was
handled i didn't need to see some flashbacks and i'd much rather mappa focus on upcoming
stuff for the major stuff though the beast titan info and the Ackerman info removed i'm
predicting and really hoping that some of the stuff comes back in a mid-info card or
is moved elsewhere for a bigger question mark you have the stuff about the titan research
society and titan memories gonna have to keep an extra eye on this.
But anyway fun bonus, which warrior or warrior candidate you liking the most?
