Attack on titan season 4 episode 9. you got some air and fan service for the thirsty fans
so what's up guys foxen here the new attack on titan paradise island arc begins are you ready
to fight and fight Eren so go ahead and blast that like just like gabby would ring the bell and let's
jump into this episode 9 titled brave volunteers kicking this off with armin the narrator ooh
really getting attack on Titan season 1 vibes do notice a shell that is the same one that armin
picked up at the end of attack on titan season 3. so let's go back in time three years ago
interesting that the anime is being super explicit about it seeing how many anime only people were
confused on the first episode it might have been a good idea starting off like this so time for
the fun flashback with the Yelena and friends this was the first survey ship that Marley sent over to the
island right after levi gave zeke some ackerman ptsd is that the Marley titanic everyone's so buff
lifting that so what is heavier this Marley ship or that convenient boulder plug in the tron's dark
you gotta love them referencing titan Eren as a devil i'm actually so glad to see the fun Hange
back giving these bastards a warm welcome anyone up for some biscuits and tea so polite for a
newcomer this episode Niccolo notice this guy even threatened by levi no good Niccolo has more balls
than those season 3 guns i freaking love the crazy Hange in full effect but even this Marley leader
the guy was still talking crap with Eren titans behind him talking about the devil finally got
those green glowing gems again where were those in the warhammer titan fight holy crap even Hange
screeched here notice potato girl sasha already over here she has Hange's back you know Yelena
was just waiting for this this is mutiny gotta show that drip so turns out Yelena always wanted
to meet Eren is that a titan in your pocket or are you just happy to see him oh sasha falling asleep
stop playing with my kokoro mappa and it does feel like sasha and because i have this sister thing
going on naturally mikasa being the onassan notice Armin being so happy-go-lucky here thank goodness
they were so kind enough to share some info do you think they want to sing kumbaya on the flip
side Eren not happy one bit Eren does realize Marley could come knocking whenever they want
then for Hange what the hell are you doing talk about being the crazy lady but do notice a gun
it is similar to what the server recorders use in the current day with the upgraded 3d maneuver gear
getting into Yelena spilling the tea how big is Marley 1 million soldiers ready for Marley alone
plus 21 battleships the cherry on top upcoming aerial capabilities imagine what that would
amount to with the world combined forces let's hope nothing pushes the world to ally together
and just to put that 1 million soldiers into perspective after paradise and then
lost Wall maria plus the operation that the government did to supposedly reclaim it
they should have been down to 1 million people so Marley do you even need titans next up levi
and Hange long time buddies playing tag team here did they just bring about lao being scared Hange
looks like she's about to wet herself getting into major reveal about Marley we're only about
their complete incompetence which has been hinted in the earlier episodes recall Marley sending all
the Eldians as titans over to the island they've been doing that for decades they have so many tiny
tins they could just do dance-offs that brilliant strategy has come back to bite morally in the ants
the tackle titan season 2 revealed colossal titans were protecting humanity from titans season 4
has now revealed that those hangry titans were actually protecting paradise island from Marley
so how do you like them apples yeah about those titans they're gone wiped out by the end of
season three levi's like so funny i could just die dude you look like me this morning you need
some sleep buddy for the second major reason one that you gotta taste up from the first episode of
season four Marley has been super busy in wars with other nations Marley however had one by
the end of episode 1 which is part of the reason they were trying to rally the nations together
to do an attack on paradise island right here notice major credit to levi and the survey corps
in a way they actually can't think their past hard work the only reason other nations tried
to store Marley was due to them finding out they lost so many titans the colossal titan and female
titan you know who to thank for that Yelena does bring out how Marley does have tons of enemies
which really goes back to Marley being too gritty playing colonizer with their titan powers getting
into info about Yelena and friends turns out they're all from nations that Marley has conquered
it is interesting to notice how Marley has treated them somewhat similar to elegance
oh let's throw in these people we conquered into Marley's military what could possibly go wrong as
for princess Yelena she likes them big boys Yelena bounced to the thick and hairy that phase says it
all you know she's just a thirsty furry i was waiting to see if i could spot the drool so now
you're getting on confirmation that they're 100 on team beats titan their ultimate goal to free
the Eldian people which is something that people devastated by Marley could relate to it all goes
back to the saying the Anime of our Anime is our new titan buddy unfortunately the Anime right here
skipped over zeke's conditions this has got to come back but let me just run down them quickly
1. accept zeke and his cult aka volunteers onto the island 2. let zeke do a titan collab with
Eren they may even live stream it in return sequel 1 somehow guarantee the island's safety
provide the Survey Corps with the latest attack including weapons and other fun goodies
3. introduce the scouts to nations who they could potentially become allies with 4. help provide
intel to fight Marley so no shocker a tough pill to swallow all around especially with the latest
beast titan toss-up fresh in their minds he had commander Erwin plus all of the scouts except
for a nine being wiped out even further back in the Attack on Titan season two he had the beast
titan having a fun titan parade with the people so hey how's it going Historia. Zachary how's your
kinky toy you even have the lovely drunk bastard under mappa as for zeke supposedly claims to have
a secret plan one requiring a founding titan and royal blood titan recall the foreshadowing from
season two back when Eren punched the zeke's titan mama and then further foreshadowing back into
Attack season 3 near the end he had Eren's theory about him being a royal blood titan so looks like
Eren does have a plan ultimately a way to sidestep that peace valve left by the Eldian king for
future founding titans three years back why not use the colossal titans to give Marley a groom
reminder send the threat of millions of titans as payback as to why Eren stayed quiet for so long
first of all Eren wasn't sure it was a theory and more important Eren thought that the government
guys might have forced queen historian to becoming a titan for this planet to work
which would have meant technically they don't need zeke just make a story into a titan queen although
the debating and fighting right here really shows how desperate the sir record island are
they're so far behind the rest of the world plus up until this point they had no allies
so wireless communication you say what is this black witch magic you gotta love how Yelena moves
fast she's been waiting for this moment her entire life i summoned the class of titan in attack mode
lucky for you guys you weren't vaporized by that nuke so hell yeah your ship just got jacked in
person they they got a blimp all they need is a plane did you notice levi taking the dude's
piss line and tossed it right back at them i was wondEreng why armin's colossal titan looks so
shriveled up here what happened armin that is not a way to intimidate in this next scene i will
point out how the Anime skipped over lines here you can actually see them going over the plan to
build the port time to get the island presentable for potential guests then for sasha mister why are
you black oh so innocent but you don't just ask that sasha is about to be cancelled by twitter
leave her alone she's already passed on him onyakupon does give an interesting answer
supposedly a creator saying let's make the world more interesting with the mention of a creator i'm
going to assume that there's various religions in this world similar to ours on the flip side
you should notice there should have been something absent within the walls likely due to the founding
titan family killing that off although you did see wall worshipers and even titan worshipers in
the Attack on Titan prequel even more interesting right here you had the guy crediting a god as to
why Eldians and the founding titan existed this really should speak volumes potentially other
people in the world also having the same mindset that said i will point out he looks like he said
too much almost like he's unsure like maybe we should have that conversation a different time
next up a seafood buffet oh yeah these guys were caged up for the longest i don't really recall but
they should have had fish in there i'm guessing no lobster or shrimp you should notice how they
got their Marley prisoner Nicolo cooking is that really the best idea it would be a super easy way
to mess with their food how do you like that Eldian bastards here's a one-way trip to the
toilet holy crap sasha is back to going crazy she loves that prison food don't you guys feed this
girl she's like one second away from her clothes popping off still it was nice to see her in tears
i don't think i've ever cried eating food before oh Niccolo why are you getting so flustered next
up Eren practicing his aim so the port is almost done at this point it seems like they're moving
super quickly to get that done you gotta give it up to tanji sweet talking to Marley engineers
from one scientist to another come on guys how about building us some trains and railroads
right here you are getting a feel of armin's point of view we can all talk it out understand each
other maybe even open up the island for tourism for some zeke info his timeline at this point the
guy had three years left it does seem like most people already at this point accepted zeke's plan
which essentially meant threatening the world with their nuke option don't mess with
our island or you're gonna get some colossal titans knocking for armin here this is where
you start seeing him either too optimistic or terribly naive can't we just talk guys
on the opposite end of things Eren does realize their harsh reality the world already sees them
as monsters they're all terrible devils and no amount of talking is gonna change anyone's mind
as someone looking in armin's idea may have worked with time but unfortunately time is something they
just don't got almost ironing to see that Eren's choice to ally with zeke was to buy them more time
so let me know who do you side with here eren's fight strike first mentality or army wanting to
play the board to his dead card let's go to Marley and activate the talk no juicy what an amazing
framing shot is telling you that eren is directly responsible for sasha dying although really not
being subtle whatsoever so getting back to present day you have armin reflecting throughout this
claiming that he no longer understands his best titan buddy sorry armin time to find a knee
shoulder to cry on ooh lala eren's soaking wet you're not the only one buddy getting into the
mid info card first off the 32 ship number is back for the Anime bingo called it turns out almost
5 000 soldiers were lost for morally over three years as expected of Marley you even have an exact
year for the Eldian calendar 851. next up getting into the fields mikasa mourning at sasha's grave
i do wish you were able to see more of the group over the various flashbacks
come on Mappa give us more anime original content perhaps more than anything this episode seeing
Niccolo frustrated her versa should open up that wound for me poor dude his lover is gone from this
cruel world come on i wasn't the only one tearing up here was i i do like how Niccolo goes over how
ridiculous the whole situation with gabby sneaking in was connie and jean should have done something
at the end of the day so many things were at fault so just another rainy damn day of this episode
coney's other half got snapped into the wind oh come on sasha's parents too how much salt
are you gonna be rubbing into the wound notice you even got the little girl that sasha saved
turns out sasha's parents took her in would you look at that are morally guy and eldians getting
along perhaps armin was right but you're paying right dude for the food i could see where sasha
got her charm next up one ackerman and a monkey in a carriage so much juicy tension in the air i
could imagine levi every hour just bringing up all the ways he's gonna slice zeke's ass again
so close to your promise levi yet so far notice they are keeping zeke away from his little bro
you're going to a fine hotel one run by zachary and his lovely chair levi can you stop staring
you're gonna make me blush switching to yelling on friends ooh so they brought so much titan
juice as a gift plus 100 titan injections but hey if you think about it they did have some of this
stuff on the blimp you could have had a potato titan running around eating everything right now
unfortunately for the travel in paradise eln and friends have been helping out for years and years
but now they're getting locked up with the beast titan returning to the island they don't want to
take any chances how fast do allies become enemies talking about the monkey they actually put zeke in
the titan tree forest what better place for chef levi to make some beast titan stakes you got home
field advantage right here as for the two little brats gabby and falco locked up in a jail falco's
really just rethinking this whole crush thing was it a good idea keeping them together gabby
just has that crazy looking ride set on mr freedom getting back to armin reflecting on their upgraded
grim reminder interesting to notice that he thinks they're no better than the warriors were so many
people had to die with the poor being destroyed otherwise Marley would have been counter-attacking
right now hey blonde girl annie still on ice did your hair grow looks like armin has been sweet
talking to his blonde crush hopefully annie has been in a deep slumber otherwise she might have
heard armin moaning as for mikasa at sasha's grave did you notice the line here she's repeating that
Eren's live on line from season one likewise Eren is also repeating that in the jail fight
fight so hobo Eren is no more Eren's now sporting that type of inspired luck so people were bitching
about hobo Eren him looking super old but how do you like him now mr freedom abs is about to
take all of levi's fangirls and all of the boys i do wish they held this errand scene a little
longer either way let me know what did you think about this episode especially after the attack on
Marley did anyone else tear up seeing potato girl sasha again her being happy this is one of those
classic recovery anime episodes after so much action and fighting you're now slowly getting
influent backstory as to what happened over the time skip more flashbacks and events too comma
especially regarding what pushed Eren to keep on moving forward which means the paradise island arc
has officially been kicked off i was wondEreng how the anime would handle this introduction
would it just speed through giving you an info dump with two chapters it looks like the anime
did the opposite a much slower pace which i really enjoyed on that note it does bring up the question
about how the pacing will be going forward the stopping point for these first 16 episodes may
be closer than you previously expected i'm going to touch on this in the manga comparison video
