Attack on Titan chapter 126 something felt off.
Is Isayama rushing just to get to the attack on titan finale? So what's up
guys Foxen here! The newest chapter did felt off it felt weird. It looks like
I wasn't alone on this. Seeing your guys's feedback in comments it feels like the
majority of you either straight-up hated this chapter or really just started to
question the decisions Isayama is making for the story. Rushing, plot
conveniences and friendship being keywords. Honestly I've been thinking
about this Attack on Titan chapter a lot since it came out you won't be surprised
to find out my initial chapter impressions have changed. I felt cheated
and I think a lot of you guys did too. but first off thank you to Xross
Chronicle for sponsoring this. This game is rooted in deep Japanese folklore
involving yokai but Jerry what are yokai? They're pretty much Japanese spirits,
demons really anything supernatural the story here focuses on human versus the
yokai time to team up with bows to battle and it really has this awesome
blend go ahead and fill your party with yokai then their special abilities help
to further boost your party I definitely suggest though yokai wife is any other
characters here come with their Japanese voice actors along the way you'll be
able to battle against a ton of unique yokai
the battle system here is also pretty attractive will you be able to keep up
with your yokai Plus human team in real-time cross carnico is free to play
for ios and android so go for it why not give these yokai a shot? Switching from
yokai monsters to a different beast the titans or actually lack thereof. Come on
Dino Eren titan eren where are you oh yes I might become mr. unpopular with this
video so let's go ahead and dive into this thing meet a discussion but I got
item 126 quite the number of issues depending on how Hard one an epic for
most of these issues minor things or major inconsistencies and conveniences
if you actually go back to my review video on the chapter a lot of you guys
from the echoed the problem see you guys head so first off I'm not sure whether
that was strictly due to the events that took place in the actual chapter where
really what I think is most likely the combination of what's been happening
with the attack on Titan story this is in regards to events post the attack on
Marly arc. What I'm talking about is this accumulation of frustration that's now
boiling to the top at as late as chapter for example really where the hell is
Dino titan Eren yet Eren dying going to the Titan realm
of future there's ice on the face and body of that
beast so many teases and all this has been happening for a few months. Either
way for the actual problems in the chapter let me actually go in order
first off everyone's fan favorite Levi and Hange Oh Levi you have quite the bad
luck three issues right here first off the most minor one
this actually involves a full package of Hange jumping to the river drag and Levi
outside of the water completely able to take out their pursuers and then
ultimately not suffer too much trouble to be honest for this whole
quote-unquote issue I personally don't have a problem with this but if you do
let me know next up something more major of course
involving Levi Levi superhuman healing at this point you know I have two
in-depth videos going over this wholly by healing situation looking back at the
actual chapter of Levi's exploding that really didn't look awful so Levi was
m.i.a for a good while I still don't know why so many people thought he was
dead and yes despite this guy losing two fingers and getting that horribly
awesome scar on his face. Recall that I predicted Levi coming back
and healing on his own this being the most likely scenario but held this
chapter this was beyond even my quickest estimations excluding anything involving
Levi's becoming a Titan and definitely share your thoughts down below do you
think this whole Levi recovery happened way too quickly
should Isayama has spent a little bit more time addressing this whole Levi's
recovery the third issue you guys have echoed the
whole leave my Hange teaming up with Marley situation there's been questions
about whether this happened way too quickly personally I really didn't have
an issue with the how this whole thing developed however you guys either felt
this happened way too randomly or there wasn't enough development leading up to
this whole team up gotta save the world and yes we're gonna get to that to the
way I solve is just looking at the millions of colossal Titans combined
with that previous doomsday broadcast from mr. Eren Yeager I would say these
guys actually have a pretty good reason to team up pretty quickly to keep in
mind Marley is super super desperate if anything more than Paradise Island.
Likewise Hange was also pretty desperate it really is do-or-die time all of these
guys have things left to discuss I do see a way that you see him is gonna dive
into this which is coming up anyways switching groups from Levi Hange to Connie,
Armin, Falco +1 Gabi for this I'm strictly talking about
kidnapping falco taking him back to the village then Armin and Gabi eventually
catching up to him and then that whole dilemma getting resolved like in a blink
of an eye naturally I wasn't a fan of this at all and please do let me know if
there's anyone that genuinely liked how this whole thing played out this whole
situation made Connie look pretty bad Armin also didn't get too much from this
if I liked the whole scenario was obviously done justice and exceeds to
run into Annie which does mean if we look at the side mission from writing
perspective all this could have been done so much better if you actually take
a step back this whole Connie Armin situation actually reveals the bigger
issue which is the passing of time and attack on titan chapter 126 briefly you
did get a confirmation of a few days passing this chapter so thank you for
that although I don't think that was communicated well enough
I mean Connie going from the starting point all the way to his village which is
inside Wall Rose that should have taken quite a bit of time keep in mind
he did stop at nighttime to then forget about Connie and Falco for a second both
Armin and Gabi also had to catch up to him too after their minor conflicts are
resolved they had to go back to this town location I'm going to assume that
was trust some time later on they ran across any and then headed back to the
initial starting point we're gonna get to Annie taking a step back this
actually means that so many characters were moving so many locations this
chapter so let me be fair and say that I'm not ready to say these guys are
teleporting just like in Game of Thrones yet
instead this really goes to show the good length of time that passed very
very quickly this chapter keep in mind the last 15 or so chapters took place
within the span of a few hours maybe a day or two depending on how far you go
back which really goes back to instead of giving that vague few days remark he
said yeah my really kind of communicated the time passing here much much better. I
mean you have seen them doing that before in the past
anyways switching gears to Mikasa and Louise another point of frustration you
know how much does I know me how he same has handled me concept pose times really
moving at a snail's pace with me constant compared to Armin, Eren and
most of the characters at this point he'll with a stallion has seen more post
attack on Marley the events trust me I really want to believe that Isayama
has something major in the works unfortunately this chapter was not it
the whole Mikasa junior setup and payoff felt really lacking and so maybe I'm
foolish I'm hoping this is gonna get revisited
since the lease was set up to be this obvious parallel to me causes own
situation her almost warship and bond to her hero figure in this latest chapter
all of a sudden Louise is out of commission potentially dying along with
the obvious reveal of her being the one to take me cuz of scarf what do you get
for Mikasa two lines that's it because I basically didn't care she was like
screwed a little girl gave me my scarf. For a minute think back to Mikasa from
attack on Titan season one. She would have definitely had more worse for this
little girl that she saved ah just so frustrating as a Mikasa fan and perhaps
this is exactly how Isayama wants you to feel but could that be covering
for him too much next up that mysterious person someone is watching rereading
this chapter a few times I had so many problems with this I don't want to say
this whole setup was dumb down for the audience but this is really what I
expect from a typical shown in series Oh someone is watching just got a super
emphasize how we should pay attention are you freaking kidding me
there's easily tons of better ways to communicate this unknown figure to your
readers without being spoon-fed trying to actually explain this away was
this he say am I just rushing in other words quickly trying to squeeze some
minor subplot into this chapter I do want to believe anyway blonde girl Annie
she's finally returned this chapter well I guess technically last chapter with
the whole anything this is something that I definitely felt cheated on come
on Isayama you owe us a good chunk of it at any flashback addressing this
Dino Titan Eren could wait. First off the whole initial meeting with Annie
super duper convenient but getting actually to the bigger issues something
that a lot of you guys had trouble with that all of a sudden these guys teamed
up with Annie the female and Titan that killed so freaking many there's actually
a whole lot of things to address first off any and Levi Oh recall what happened
in attack on Titan season one the female Titan just wiping out the entire Levi's
squad goodbye Petra and the others I need to
see that awkward conversation on screen unfortunately I do feel Isayama is not
gonna deliver next any situation any and Armin. Armin really tricking slash
backstabbing this fellow scout Annie it makes it even more titillating that
Armin right now is the Colossal Titan although if I'd want to be completely
honest I really don't think any cared too much about that guy on the flip side
for Armin how many of Bert's memories has he seen especially those involving
Annie has Armin potentially gotten a taste of that love that transcends time
the third any encounter Annie and Mikasa it's actually almost funny be think
about it looking back at Mikasa from attack without in season one she would
have been at Annie's throat almost immediately if anything that shows how
Mikasa has progressed. I'm having a tough time imagining how current Mikasa
will react to Annie other than almost no worse and typically say in my fashion on
a flip side for Annie worse from Annie recall back how Annie got messed up so
badly by Mikasa I want to believe that Annie is not one that holds a grudge
especially not for some old crap that happened four years ago although one
could argue it because I hadn't gotten in her way she would have gotten away
they said what eventually happened her being stuck in crystal for four years as
for Annie kicking of Reiner awake another series of events that need to get
addressed next chapter fortunately this still has a chance to happen talking
about Reiner Reiner really has a similar situation to Annie when this guy talks
to all of us pervious bodies however there's really one standout situation
that needs to be addressed Reiner and corny oh hey buddy
about my Titan Village back from season two yeah you bastard you knew all along
ironically I think that it's gonna be far more interesting than the whole army
stuff earlier anyway getting into what I think cost a major issue for most of you
the ending Avengers Assemble there's really multiple parts to this really
rushing to get to this point this whole idea of everyone forgiving each other
and the best of all the power of friendship that should definitely remind
you of other shown in series and on top of this everyone really combining
together to take down Eren so there's a lot of things to tackle you're out of
everything this chapter I actually did not have a problem with the scout
Avengers shot. First off the issue with the rushing to get to this point taking
a step back looking at how he say I'm I set up this chapter everything like you
say I'm a structure this chapter in a way just to get to this ending spot
which is why I felt like a lot of things move either quickly or weren't fully
fleshed out then regarding the issue of everyone forgiving each other yes right
now you do have all of these guys working together coming together for
this ultimate one go fighting Eren well though let me just
point out that does not mean that these guys have forgiven each other you don't
have to forgive past sins to be able to come together and work at least
temporarily together what has been brought up has been the death toll from
the warrior side the word has killed all those people initially inside of the
walls indirectly then the female Titan kill it's so fucking many first off into
Titan forest then within wall Sina on the flipside post time skippy sama has
already established paradise aw I'm not being too innocent either I mean it
doesn't compare to the hundreds of thousands that died previously thanks to
the Warriors but these kinds kill it so many on that attack on Marley
at the end of the day this really just means that everyone has blood on their
hands who doesn't at this point especially the one they're gonna fight
against Eren Yeager as for the whole power of friendship I would actually say
put a pin on that and we'll come back and revisit this later if all these guys
actually team up and take down Eren without any problems
oh hell no I'm gonna have issues with this. If all of these guys assemble and
then ultimately get taken out they don't actually feel like a very attack on
Titan Isayama thing to do so we'll revisit this later ultimately everyone's
teaming up to fight against the big global threat Eren Jaeger oh but isn't
this very very similar of course this goes back to the whole
code geass vibe to my surprise I'm actually seeing complaints about this
now and I mean you guys being very vocal about it Eren becoming the main global
threat which encourages the previous two opposing signs to team up and ultimately
take him down ultimately that would be Eren sacrificing himself if you've been
here a while you've seen me come for attack on Titan
for quite a few years now I have brought up this code against possibility back an
attack on Titan chapter a hundred so yes I was initially getting this vibe years
ago unfortunately whether he same actually goes with this code Geass type
of ending or not it really does feel like attack on titan is in this looser
situation the reason really being that there's so many anime that have actually
concluded at this point with the tacit item being inlay but as his masterpiece
whether it's fair or unfair attack on titan will be compared to so many
endings that already came before it naturally right now with the whole dino
Eren situation the closest one seems to be code geass and to some extent Death
Note and even Game of Thrones Season eight
how many people think that Mikasa is gonna take out Eren for example? Either
way I do want to end this on a positive note I just saying that I do have faith
in Isayama. Isayama has confirmed that attack on Titan is ending this year
which explains some of us up being a rush this chapter it's all into this
deadline day they say my ass that on himself potentially to get other pieces
ready for the attack on Titan season 4 anime yes the attack on Titan season 4
anime is coming later this year. I bet you Isayama has already given
the studio not only in this end date estimate but he's currently working with
them on this rough road map after all the actual attack of that in season 4
episodes need to be storyboarded so despite having all these scenes that
felt like they were lagging or pieces missing this chapter keep in mind
Isayama could still filling the gaps retractable e through flashbacks I'll
leave you with the prediction too. Isayama will not only miss the 2020
deadline miss then the finale will be early 2021 oh and this is almost
guaranteed attack of that in season 4 will be split into multiple parts at
least two once again a huge thank you to Xross Chronicle for helping of keep the
lights on don't throw me into the cold with Tokyo streets but seriously this
game is free-to-play go ahead and give it a try link down below
but anyway attack on Titan 126 definitely share any problem we'll see
you head down below to anyone else think they're giving the issues a pass or do
you really honestly believe and they say am i that much either works. Definitely
check out my recent anime videos anyone efendim Digimon my non-spoiler review on
the new movie is out enjoy and I'll see you guys later!
