What's up guys Foxen here. We got attack on Titan in season 2 episode 10. This one
titled Children. All right so let's get down to it, most of this episode was
really focused on the Ymir and I'm not really sure that's a good thing but I'll
get back to this. Before that we do have to address the big elephant in the room
or the big Titan. At the very beginning Hange's assistant made it back to the
village and they found that Titan. Come on they're really trying to hammer it
into everyone. I wonder why this Titan that appeared from Connie's house looks like
the mother, has the same eyes, seems to address Connie. At this point
they're making it way too obvious and even before this it was already pretty
clear. Titans are people or born from them. All right so before we get to Ymir
one more thing, Eren trying to beat a Reiner. Unfortunately that was an epic
fail on his part and he just looks so silly. I really can't blame him though
it's not like he could do much at all in that state. Perhaps he should have tried
to take out Reiner's eyes but really Eren was really trying to start this round
2 way too early. I'm telling you Eren you need to be
more patient. He has to wait to completely heal otherwise there's always
that possibility that Reiner is just gonna cut him more and more. If that happens
he's going to be completely screwed for the final fight. All right so now for the
big part of this episode Ymir and her backstory, or at least part of it. So they
touch on it at the very beginning of this episode very briefly and then go
into it. She mentions about being stuck outside the walls for over 60 years. When
she said that I was like what? but she goes into more detail making this
comment about how it was a nightmare that just wouldn't end. This of course I
could only imagine her referring to that Titan state. And about Ymir's
flashback which was something I was expecting to get last episode or way
before this. So it appears when Ymir was super young she got taken in by this
cult, I wanna say. They made her take on this role as being their King, leader
or queen. Here is where Ymir had to lie and take on this burden of
supposedly having the Royal blood within her, and just a side note about this
cult, is this supposed to be that cult of Titan worshippers that existed long ago?
So far I only heard about them in the novels. But anyway this whole flashback should
have been over 60 years ago according to her but of course as all cults do,
eventually they piss someone off. It seems like they got in trouble with the
royal government and they got punished. As punishment they got banished and
Titan cursed? This part is unclear. Right now the question is whether this was the
military is doing or was there something special about this cult? They also did
reveal that information card that Ymir's homeland is outside of the walls.
So this was 60 years ago, this means the walls did exist at that
point. So who the hell are these people and where are they?
At least this does help to give some explanation about that Titan from the
OVA. That Titan should have been a worshipper of Ymir. I guess that
Scout just got lucky because she kind of looked like Ymir. Just a little tanned. And
as for Ymir's Titan form you see Ymir become that big headed Titan. I
don't really know what you do once you become a Titan. Do you just roam around
it? Seemed like Ymir was doing just that and just who knew that Titans need to
sleep because that's what Ymir was doing. Was Ymir really dormant for
sixty plus years in that piece of land? Eiher way they do go ahead and explain
more of what happened to Reiner's brother. When they were younger Ymir
happened to wake about that time and just ate someone. Unfortunately for
Reiner and friends they just happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Anyway sometime after that event Ymir went back to being human. I'm not
sure if this is related to her having a snack. One interesting part about this is
that I guess being a Titan makes you immortal now, or at least it makes me not
age. The current Ymir does seem to be the same age as before she went into
Titan mode over 60 years ago, but who knows. She really doesn't look past
eighteen. As for Ymir's connection to Krista aka historia that they bring up
again, Ymir does mention how they have a super similar situation. I really just
don't know how much of this is actually true. It instead sounds like Ymir is
desperately trying to connect their situations just to have someone to
connect to, but who knows again. I'm sure there's
still a lot to be revealed for Christa. As for the ending of this episode I can't
say that I'm really too surprised to see Ymir side with Reiner she's way too
obsessed with Christa. Unfortunately her plan seemed to work.
She was waiting there and swallowed up that blonde girl right in one gulp.
Before that though wasn't Connie awfully trusting to Ymir .Yeah let's go ahead and
kick this Titan in the head that can frickin climb trees. Best idea ever! If
Ymir was pissed off she could have swatted Connie like a fly or
forget about that instead have him as a snack. Alright so at the very very end we
have Hannes, yeah really don't say that line. Major death flag right there. Either
way that's coming up only two episodes to go! It's coming down to the wire. So
seems the final showdown is going to be Reiner and Colossal Titan plus Ymir
versus Eren. It should be but Eren's still knocked out at this point.
Alright so let me know how you thought about this episode!
Did you enjoy more than last week's? Last week so it was just super slow I think
it was the worst in season two easily. It is interesting how we're getting more
information about the Titans and Ymir's backstory now. I'm still not
sure whether that's necessarily a good thing. It just seems weird how they did
structured the story. I mean Ymir and Christa have been there since season
one. One was really a minor character and the second one really didn't even exist,
not until season two. Right now I'm really just finding it hard to get
invested in Ymir's character but who knows let's see what happens in two more
episodes! As always if you did enjoy this episode be sure to give a colossal
thumbs up and subscribe. I highly recommend checking on my latest attack
