why has so much stuff been cut or changed for Attack on Titan
three? So what's up guys Foxen here let's talk about all the changes for
attack on Titan season three episode one. So I've been working on this for quite a
while. It really feels like they took the first seven chapters of the uprising arc
added some good stuff like bananas and apples then blended it all together
Episode 1 for attack on Titan season 3 is a cup of that Titan smoothie but just
notice there's still a good amount of that smoothie left over in the blender
Right now it's still a question about whether you're gonna get a taste of that
later or whether that's gonna be dumped in the trash. What this all means for
episode 1 is that there's been a lot of changes, removals, new additions, and a lot
of previous scenes condensed. Let's look at Episode one in more in-depth and
perhaps in more detail than you asked for! By the way really quickly before
starting let me just mention that this type of video took an extremely long
amount of time so please LIKE and definitely let me know down below if you
want to see more of these. I'm not sure right now if I'm gonna be physically
able to do these weekly. I guess I'll decide on your guys's feedback. As for
spoilers within this I'm keeping this to only spoilers involving the chapters
that are covered by this episode so anything up to Levi meeting up
Kenny on the rooftop is fair game. Anyway let's go ahead and get started. At the
very start of this episode youwe have Eren staring off into the distance
This was definitely a completely new scene added to the anime you don't see
this anywhere in the uprising arc. First actual episode scene is the cabin scene
so the Survey Corps is hiding away. First changeup is actually when potato girl is
stealing that bread notice how in the anime the drool got moved from the left
side to the right. Also in the anime Historia got taken out of the whole
Sasha bread situation. Instead Connie took her spot. Getting to one of the
things cut from the anime as all the friends are having a happy good old time
in the manga Eren actually feels down for a second just about how these guys
reminded him over the previously Levi squad. Why was this cut out? Perhaps just
not to ruin the mood and to move things more quickly. I would say that this might
appear later on but just randomly flashing back to this may not work so
well. Next up with the whole Levi Daddy scene
at the table. In the anime Levi tells Eren about how Hange wants to start
their experiment soon and then it cuts right to that
However in the manga there was much more to this conversation. They continue
talking for a good while they did go into details about how they wanted Eren
to get hard to plug a wall Maria's hole. The manga showed how this was Armin's
plan and then he goes into details about it. Right here Armin mentioned how the
wall seems to be made out of titans since they were able to do it in the
past maybe Eren can do it too. They just gotta try this out at nighttime
Notice that this chunk of dialogue from Armin and kind of got moved around to
the Titan experiment. Right here it was instead Levi that told a condensed
version of all of this to Armin who was right next to him. As for some other
stuff that was cut before the titan experiment Hange goes on to explain how
she wants to test everything regarding Eren's Titan power
This of course includes trying to use the founding Titan power once more
Hange wants to get started as soon as possible but unfortunately she thinks is
best for Eren to lay low. Hange was previously keeping it to
herself but right here Hange reveals how Nick has been murdered. Notably
you find this out later in the anime. Next up the whole Titan training scene
from the anime they actually cut quite a few amount of dialogue from Hange from
this. The anime doesn't show Hange mentioning how Eren seems to be a lot
more fused with the Titan than usual almost as if they're becoming one single
being. Perhaps Eren would even turn into a Titan permanently if they allowed him
to stay like that and Hange definitely wanted to try it out. I'm kind of
disappointed that they cut this out since you got less of insane Hange but
more importantly they did cut out some Titan info and made Hange look better in
the process. Let's see if they get back to this in a flashback. As for something
added in the anime Levi did add greater emphasis about how Historia was
important this included a flashback to what Nick was saying about Historia
perhaps knowing the secrets of the walls or one day being able to learn about
them. Something else that also got cut from the anime was the shot of Eren's
melted body and face healing up in the wagon
Unfortunately this also included Hange fun comment about how Eren would
go back to being handsome as soon as possible. Another smaller cut involved
Hange's thoughts as they were leaving the area
She made a note about how anyone close to the area would be able to see Eren's
Titan smoke whenever he became as Titan. This is why they were surely being
watched. The smoke dialog makes sense being cut from the anime since the anime
has a Titan light show instead however the anime's shot of this
includes that smoke the only difference is that the smoke is coming from the
left over Titan carcass. Oh and the anime also cutout cowboy Connie and cowboy
Sasha also no small wagon in this forest shot. So far seems like Hange has taken
the most abuse from the anime cuts. Next up you have a completely new anime scene
with this interaction between Levi and Erwin which happens post Erie's training
in the manga however the next time you see Erwin he was already on his way
to wall Sina to get to the royal capital/ Right here Erwin mentioned something
about plugging up the wall Maria hole within a day. This of course being
something that Armin previously mentioned in the manga from the
conversation that was cut. Some of the dialogue here also seems similar to some
of the stuff that Hange mentioned from the cutscene post Eren's training. Some
of this involved the questioning of why the Reiss family would know the secrets
of the walls instead of the king. Up next up another anime original shot which is
pastor Nick in the room getting a nock late at night time then he was never
heard from again. In the manga Hannge brought up Nick
being killed long after already happened which was before Eren was trying to get
his Titan up. Next up the kitchen cabin scene
Instead of Eren suddenly waking up post his Titan training scene it seems
like they combined three scenes from the manga together here. The cabin scene did
happen in the manga however it happened after Hange told everyone about Nick's
death but before they started Eren's Titan training. Right here some of the
scouts conversation remains from the original scene. In the anime Eren still
mentions how he was a sleep for a whole day after the Titan exhaustion. Notably
the anime adds Eren blaming himself and feeling bad about his failure since is
now preventing their wall Maria operation. This whole thing was actually
similar to whatever instead post training in the manga
so another manga piece moved or condensed. In the anime there is some
added support for Mikasa towards Eren. From Connie here you have him feeling
terrible when he recalls what the Beast Titan did to his family and village
Cut from the scene it was Connie specifically bringing up what Ymir
did about how she lied to his face in the past. Also cut was Historia
letting Kony know that Ymir was doing him a favor in her own way. Next up after
Mikasa and Connie leave for their post Duty this whole interaction between a
Historia and Eren is a completely different scene and that happened much
later. Originally when they use the horse boy
cosplaying as Eren and best girl Armin historia and
Eren stayed behind in a different hideout.
This is where they had that chat from the anime. The anime however cut straight
into the middle of the conversation and where focuses on Historia. The dialogue from
Historia mentioning how everyone has some goals and her talking about Ymir
is moved around a bit. Eren then trying to comfort Historia is
different from the manga. Eren knows about how Historia is finally talking
again. Apparently Historia telling everyone about her past has happened in
the anime just hasn't been shown yet. Eren mentions about how since that time
Historia has actually stopped talking and smiling. The manga doesn't have this
at all. There's only a short thought from Eren that hints at this but it feels
almost like a stretch to claim this is that scene from the manga. Historia then
goes on to mention how she's not this good girl.
Eren comforts her telling her she's way better this way
as a very honest girl. This whole interaction was condensed by about half
from the manga version. Notably anime Historia cuts out a lot of details about
how terrible her upbringing was. The manga also ends a scene then switches
through the warehouse after Eren tells her she's a very honest girl. Overall in the
anime Eren comes off as being much calmer and caring when he's telling all
of this to Historia compared to the manga he seemed almost to be a little
bit angry partway through this. Added to this scene anime Eren brings brings up Ymir
which triggers him recalling the Ymir's past conversation. In the manga however
Eren didn't recall this until several chapters later. Eren originally recalled
this during asleep so you quickly see Eren getting out of bed and trying to
find Hange. By the way just to add to this hold Titan training scene
afterwards in the anime Hange never got the chance to go into the full
details of it. This is something I'm sure they're gonna cover in a flashback
Next up pastor Nick's death. You see anime Hange suddenly coming back to tell
everyone about this information however manga Hange reveals this before the Eren
Titan training. Notably the anime already has Hange at the scene instead
of showing you Hange rushing down the hall there. In the anime version it's
actually pretty hard to tell that anything weird happened to Nick's nails. The
manga makes is pretty obvious. Perhaps it'll be much clearer on the blu-ray
version. As for Hange's interaction with this military police guy the anime
either cut or condenses a lot of dialogue from Hange. They cut the line
from Hange when she tells her that Nick was her buddy. The anime further
cuts the from Hange demanding to know why someone
would break into the military housing. Anime Hange only asked about the nails
instead of asking a lot more questions. manga Hange looked a lot more pissed
here to. The Hange also cuts a lot of detail from the military guy. He doesn't
go into detail in the anime insulting the survey Corps. It also cuts him saying
that the survey Corps has no experience in this type of field and you don't even
have the line from him asking Hange whether she's scared after she became
silent. Anime Hange notably condenses and cuts a good chunk of the explanation
regarding who Nick was and why she put Nick in the barracks there. Anyway back
to the cabin post flashback the anime version of the cabin removed three
plates on the wall. Super major change from here! Anime Levi cut straight into
asking about Nick's nails however a huge chunk of dialogue between Levi and Hange
is cut from here. Some of it involves Erwin being informed about the situation,
them discussing about the potential enemies inside and outside of the walls
and about how the military police is acting more unusual now so perhaps
there's another part of military police taking action. Unfortunately the anime
Survey corps is interrupted by Nifa. Nifa brings him Erwin's message. Further
cut from the manga is Levi's discussion about this. In the manga Levi puts both
of their plans on the table either they escape before they're
attacked or they go after whoever is going after them first.
Hange decides to do both of them at the same time. By the way do notice how manga
Nifa was present during this whole conversation so the anime gave a little
more to Nifa to do. Next up you had the whole anime scene of the Survey
Corps ditching their hideout. The anime version this is several times longer
than the manga version. Most of this comes down to the added dialogue and
some other actions. Compare these changes to the manga. First off manga Levi
having everyone read Erwin's letter. Compare this to anime Levi where he just
kept into himself. Manga Levi then wants anyone that's willing to trust Erwin to
follow him. Once they're outside it seems that everyone is already on board with
the plan and knows what they're doing. When they're outside anime Levi tells
him that Survey Corps operation has got frozen
They also specifically want Eren and Historia to be handed over. In the manga
this doesn't happen until a lot later. It's not until everyone and the Sruvye
Corps get framed for some murder and also in the manga they didn't specify it
being Eren and Historia. It was everyone in the survey
Corps that had to report to the capital. The Anime added the scene of Erwin being
summoned to the royal capital. Nifa also just happened to be nearby. In the
manga Erwin does get this summon however when
he find out about this Erwin is already in the carriage on his
way there. After this flashback everything regarding the details of
their plans in the anime is all new content. Notably they make it clear where
they're heading and which characters are going with Hange or Levi as they're
splitting up. As for one notable difference and change here in the anime
they do move the scene here where Eren gives Hange the letter with the Ymir
conversation that he recalled earlier. By the way do notice a nice anime addition
which was Kenny and his blonde assistant overlooking the hideout being raided
Next up this episode he had that Titan truth mid info card. The stuff revealed
here is actually something that should have happened at the end of season 2
Originally Hange and Erwin discussed this during their conversation
about Connie mother Titan. Manga readers were wondering more this Titan info got
cut from the scene and now it's back well kind of. Next up we have the scene across
where the Survey Corps is setting up not Eren and Best girl Armin. Notice here
something completely new added to the anime which is this whole festival
regarding the royal family. This was not in the manga. Part of this involved
giving Sasha and Connie more screentime as they talked about this yearly event
Notice how the anime added something interesting this eco-friendly flag. I got
to talk about this later on. Next up that King throne scene. This whole scene
involving the king of his friends was a new scene added for the anime. The manga
did have a similar shot but it was really only as Erwin was referencing the
king. In the Anime however they go into details about the rations they're giving
out. For some reason they want to raise their public approval. This of course
being related to the festival from earlier. The interaction here is your
first introduction to Rod Reiss. Notably the manga never showed Rod and
the king in the same room so overall the scene is just adding more
connective tissue and you get more of this as a hint to unleashing Kenny going
after the Survey Corps. Next up at the kidnapping scene let me
mention that horse boy and better Historia getting kidnapped is the same
from the manga however the stuff that happened right
before their kidnapping got cut. Right before this the manga gives you a few
pages of the survey Corps and Levi walking down the streets. From this Levi
gets quite attention from workers nearby. These guys
go as far as getting into Levi's face after blaming the Survey Corps about their
lives being so miserable now. oOne of these guys even has the balls to grab
Levi before the kidnapping happened. As for real Historia and Eren
while the Survey Corps' plan is in action with the body doubles both of
these two are in a different wagon. At this point in the manga these two are simply
waiting it out in a different hideout. This actually is where Eren had this
conversation with Historia about being a normal girl from earlier in the episode
Next up arming getting tortured yes best girl getting felt up was 99%. Notably you
have one additional line from the bastard feeling up Armin which is that
Armin feels a lot more muscular than expected ho-hum sure there's an extra
muscle in there. As for Levi and Mikasa on the rooftop one major change here in
the anime you have Levi informing Mikasa about Kenny and then he takes off. The
Anime actually completely removed Levi from the warehouse scene. Originally it
was Levi that joined Mikasa kicking these guys's ass. I guess all the ass now
went to Mikasa in the anime. As for within the warehouse notably the anime
has added the Reeves son tagging along with the father. Also now that Levi was
cut that slam that Levi did in the manga is now done by Mikasa. Since Reeves junior
also added Mikasa is the one that takes him down with that fun kick of hers so
200% more ass kicked by Mikasa in the anime. As for the aftermath of this whole
thing the anime so far has either cut or not shown anything regarding the
Reeves Boss. Notably Armin having an interesting interaction with the guy who
felt him up was cut. As for a huge change this involves something that originally
happened between levi and the interaction with the Reeves boss after the whole
warehouse scene Levi and the Reeves Boss actually come to some understanding and
make a deal. Then there's a whole ton of things that happened between that scene
and the scene in the manga where Kenny shows up on the rooftop. Let's see if
they actually managed to work this Reeves Deal back in the anime. This is
gonna be very interesting to see. Alright so now we're at the rooftop scene with
Levi in the anime. The anime so far has cut out the Reeves deal with Eren and
Historia getting kidnapped and fifty Shades of Hange.
Of course they also cut out Historia and Erwin's past but that could be more
easily moved around via flashback. Also do notice in the manga rooftop scene
Levi and Nifa were actually overlooking Eren and Historia being taken away
in coffins. Next up now for Kenny's grand entrance
unfortunately Kenny made Nifa's face disappear so about this. Nifa actually
looked much worse in the manga when she got her face blown off. The anime notably
decided to focus more on Levi's reaction to seen her death although do notice
that they added the shot of Nifa's body twitching oh my god in the anime I'm not
even sure if more Survey corps guys got killed
besides the goggles dude. The manga does show the other head shots from Levi's
group. Seems that the anime added this chest plating that wasn't present in the
manga. I got a feeling there'll come into play in the upcoming bar showdown scene
and then you have this completely new shot from the anime which I loved
It's that scene of Kenny's squad coming in and then the ton of guys in the sky
Originally in the manga Levi got his ass out of there before he got surrounded
so talk about getting that cliffhanger ending in the anime. Alright
so that was all the juicy changes and details and so far I've been recording
this for past an hour. It's so hot in here I feel like I'm about to pass out
and yes I am completely stripped down so I'm hoping you enjoyed this more
detailed breakdown definitely like and subscribe if you want these weekly. Let's
see if I actually want to make another one of these after this but anyway
more important let me hear from you! Question of the day how do you feel
about all these changes? Especially the major ones? Did you think this episode
was too fast-paced? Does anyone out there think the anime should have followed the
manga more closely? Anyway definitely gives this a Colossal
