attack on Titan chapter 137 anime only people run
unless you want to know about Eren fighting the titan king in space
so what's up guys Foxen here by the power of
friendship did your worries come true this chapter
i've been seeing a lot of people throwing around this being game of
thrones level bad which i do think is going too far but
i'll get to that you really can't deny this does have a super
shonen feel so go ahead and call out to nuke the like and subscribe
plus ring the bell post any thoughts below but be sure to watch till the end
i'm very likely going to have a follow-up video so this whole chapter
was a mixed bag for me i definitely need a lot more time to
digest this so here my first quick don't slash first impression
i'm probably gonna have to get some booze halfway through this anyway
kicking this off and opening with space from the beginning i was not
getting a good feeling about this i mentioned before feeling worried that
isayama would eventually dive deeper and should try to explain
whatever the hell ymir found in the titan tree the chapter starts off with a
body talk with Armin and zeke in the titan realm last time he saw that it was
sand castle time so it seems that in a way zeke is trying
to explain more origins of the titans zeke was pretty
much giving you his own version of this ted talk for the concept of life
really to oversimplify the goal to grow and reproduce
essentially multiply. The counter or main important to this would be death or
extermination of a given life form which is why for life
for example animals have this sphere mechanism a zebra sees a Lion
time to haul your ass far away otherwise you're going to become Simba's lunch
if the previous Ymir water scene didn't already suggest it
the extra explanation for this titan critter life form pretty much screams
parasite or even the trace of some form of a virus although for a virus you'll
start getting into issues with the definition of life that zeke mentioned
somewhere outside Eren must be like bro with the rumbling we're just multiplying
sorry not sorry so trying to relate this back to Ymir which at this point i
really wish he said would give some type of personality too
zeke boils down to this being a situation that she faced
you'll recall Ymir being a little slave girl she likely felt bad for the bacons
so she set them free which in turn caused the Eldian king to
take that out on her Ymir then fell into the titan tree
which according to this her deep wish wanting to become free
free even from dying was what manifested into the titan powers through some titan
magic you could thank that titan centipede
right here i will point out a huge difference with the chapter
you've seen the foreign alien creature latch itself on to Ymir spine before but
now you're seeing the second one a much larger one
it almost looks like it's spreading its arms or tentacles as it's just ymir's
titan being formed or a second possibility did emir's wish get
corrupted during this process i think there might be a good chance of this
on top of this you're at least getting somewhat an explanation for the titan
realm that supposedly this is a magical world
without death one created by Ymir which is ironic since she's definitely
never been free in here i do like the fact that
they did bring up how ymir remained loyal to the royal Flitz family on the
other hand they didn't exactly state why clearly
should have had some
feelings for the original place where she was born
but why the king the person that made her a slave that killed her that got her
pregnant forced hugging her it's the whole thing
simply that Ymir had three daughters which all of them are technically her
blood is Isayama going to tell us more about this magical little anime girl
Then for zeke as expected of the monkey he totally gave up
why fight even if you do win this fight you'll eventually die in the future
you're all just being manipulated by the man to multiply
what depressing ass logic this actually sounds like some stoner talk i've heard
before except that was cheerful z go back to
playing with your sand castle isn't it almost ironic that the jaeger
brother that claimed to have found freedom
gave up eren yeager wouldn't be happy at that
for right here i did find it interesting that armin recalled that one familiar
lone tree from the first chapter did the leaf appear in a titan realm due
to armin wishing for it could this world be influenced by
memories alone as for Armin's point of view
his own reason for existing which is pretty much the same for anyone reading
or watching what keeps us going daily beyond biological programming makes me
think of certain philosophy crap i think therefore i am for armin as a
little boy no surprise so simple his friends the little kid was so
innocent back then and likewise for a lot of us it probably
isn't something too complex for zeke turning for armin he had to
leave which represented the special moment when he realized the reason he
was born meanwhile the special item that zeke
sees a baseball which circles back to the love the previous beast titan gave
him something that zeke yearned from his
parents for the what the hell moment the team of dead titans
at first i thought this was supposed to be symbolic but no these titan users are
actually in the titan realm you got grisha tom porco ymir and even
marcella looking at marcel they must have been
frozen at the time of their demise notably with their eye is closed which
was actually similar to Ymir and young Eren
the one question i was wondering here is why didn't other past
users appear alright so getting into it switching to the main battlefield
thank the titan gods the stampede has slowed down so much
so what's going on with Pieck she was mvp last chapter what happened
i thought you had so much endurance to do this all day i'm assuming she got a
love bite while exiting her meat titan in other words keeping her from
transforming but hold up stallion to the rescue
oh i could smell the new shipper screeching from my screen
instead of mikasa was actually Pieck in his dream
as for jean talking about the retreat i think you got the wrong idea buddy
this was a one-way trip or so we don't as for reiner why am i not surprised in
the slightest the guy is down on all fours again he's
got a bunch of long rods penetrating his armored crust
and he can't miss the smashed face the most notable thing from these panels
include the warhammer titan designs one of them in the back looks like
something out of resident evil maybe even a walmart jason
upper front you got the shinigami warhammer titan let me know what you
thought about the face for me it was actually the purple dude
from excel world as for that bacon titan or as it just seemed you're
cosplaying on the battlefield for the actual panel i do wonder what mappa
studio will choose for this colossal titan web edition cg or hand drawn let's
not forget about annie as popular as ever
just another day for the female titan am i right i was definitely getting a
season one vibe with any screening calling the titan boys over for lunch
some notable titans here include tom bradley tackling her ass
i guess the armored titan variants all look super similar over in the back can
you spot this sort of dog i want to say just a
titan hellhound for the extra shocker of this episode
bert coming in for the save are you still in there oh trying to
protect her crush aren't you mad at armin taking your
power and then your girl but do you notice that an actual glimmer
in the closet ties in eyes now previously all these summoned titans
were soulless naturally i was wondering who else could make an
appearance the jaws titan bros are back too
even after death they're still saving reiner's ass
at this point i was pretty much expecting it come on all Titan
friends come out to play go ahead and add ymir
to the list three Jaws titans in one spot
too bad that history has nowhere to be found but back to the bacon titan
of course gabby would get a head shot this wouldn't be the Attack on Titan
endgame if gabby didn't land that please levi tell me you helped pull the trigger
with your Ackerman god sight at least gabby didn't
completely vaporize it back to the titan realm
so let's go welcome back armin you're soaking in white
drool i don't know it seems like armin got some of the worst out of this whole
adventure he even got pierced at first i thought it was a stomach but
just a leg come on armin chop it off and go titan mode oh yes
payback is a witch completely missed armin still having
thunder spirits after he got french kissed by the titan
so perfect the gang is all together now and he sims saved her
and then annie saved her true love armand you could bet bert was tearing up
in the titan room after this little demo so let's get to it this avengers level
moment all the titan backup is here there was some question about why there
were no previous attack titans two of them right here grisha and
kruger which now confirms the attack titans can be summoned
but who was the goat titan really what in the power of friendship is happening?
if you're doing all of this can someone just give levi this full recovery
a senzu bean you even got zeke butt naked back on the battlefield
i could totally imagine Zeke giving levi a big bear hug
i like how levi looked just as shocked as i was reading this
oh thank you connie so what the crap is going on
really mikasa get rid of that tentacle you saw what happened to armin for the
actual go titan or is that a sheep no clue at this
point but that should have been the previous beast titan
aka zeke's mentor Tom all right so according to armin
here's the explanation about what's going on from these events
get this zeke somehow woke up the past users that were sleeping in the titan
room which are you serious was it that easy i
could buy zeke waking up tom but what's the deal
with zeke waking up papa grisha who he backstabbed
is this zeke really paying for what he did but how about other people
why stop at titans he know what really brings up a big question is Ymir
supposedly wanted to be connected i mean hasn't she been connected from
day one was the answer really just love or friendship all along apparently
you do have Zeke coming to terms with both tom and grisha which honestly i do like
and it is expected but i think we do need a lot and i do
mean a lot more to these scenes likewise for armin
i like that he is admitting he took everything from birth his life his
memories his girl which he didn't mention
but god damned did this character get shafted he doesn't even get a line here
turns out it wasn't just armin that was gonna save humanity it was both of the
two people closest to evan jaeger zeke and armin sorry mikasa i do like
the scene of zeke seeing the beautiful sky it feels very
much like what Eren saw a few chapters ago realizing that
what he wanted was foolish we really need to see something
like this for Eren
either way goodbye zeke a fitting end
looks like in the finales levi was able to fulfill his promise to erwin
hopefully slashing the beast titan for the final time hopefully
zeke is really dead what exactly is going to happen to the beast titan power
no one ate his ass or does it not count since he was already in the titan realm
and with the whole zeke being dead thing so hurrah the rumbling has stopped
avengers style this i really can't say i'm too much of a fan of
but let me get back to this. next up jean trying to take main character status
it still makes no sense that eren made no effort to remove those bombs but at
the very least i'll take gaby not being the one that shot his
head off again for the extra explosion going off which scott foreshadowed the
previous chapter we got the titan critter crawling out so
somehow we went from Eren being the big band
to i guess it's this thing now this foreign
unknown thing that shouldn't even have a conscience let's go reiner for the win
come on just take over reiner's body the dude can't die
although this actual finale is going really how we expected it or at least i
did which is one of the things i do like at a high level
ultimately reiner is playing that hero role reiner really has taken any chance
to die he's like darkness just jumping into it
please let me die but you know what they've been set it up
here that the armor titan can withstand the nuke
if you could summarize this whole chapter in a single panel it would be
this one the colossal titan two attack titans and
the beast titan power of friendship for the win sayonara
Eren you got armin exploding which harmon should survive
but goodbye Eren all right so let me know what you thought about this chapter
two chapters left was it as you expected are you glad that we're getting a happy
ending or so it seems was it too much like game
of thrones season 8 i do think that's going too far on the
other hand even if you do like this you can agree this feels like
a very typical shonen story for the second half alone it felt like i
was watching the finale out of borrow boruto's dad
one of the most shocking things is that i'm surprised no one died in this errand
founding titan finale sure you got z that got cut out most
likely dead that was thanks to levi reiner just went in to attack the nuke
he might be dead but i highly doubt it and Eren i highly doubt he's gone
i really don't think he's in the head he might be using the warhammer titan power
i wouldn't be surprised if Eren is down below maybe in the ocean
or a good distance away but keeping a level head about this
first off i do want to touch on levi taking out zeke he had the rumbling
stopping i feel like this is more due to Ymir
becoming finally independent perhaps zeke getting sliced down was the
last bind holding down umir from freedom that said it does beg
the question wasn't that already eren's goal
for ymir with the chapter overall i do really like part one
for the most part at a high level i don't actually have an issue with the
events that unfolded if anything i think most of you can
agree that a lot of things we saw in this chapter
were expected the main issue with the chapter seems that it all seems too
rushed it happened too quickly or too conveniently like i pointed out with the
previous zeke and armin scene talking to others
that should have been a lot longer hopefully the anime expands on that
ironically this whole chapter actually feels like a light novel anime episode
where so much detail is skipped over at a higher level it does feel like isaiah
is abusing pants and in this chapter using them as
a plot convenience to get to the end game potakatatin is over-relying on
pants or the titan road to explain everything away
even if you like this chapter you should be able to agree that is a glaring issue
with this chapter on the other hand i will say don't panic
yet two chapters left there are a fair amount of questions
left what's going to go on with the titan realm that is still
a whole issue i mean who's the one creating titans when armin just went
colossal titan mode what's gonna happen to emir now how
about the beast titan that thing died so who gets the power if
you look at the chapter and take everything at face value for the close
titans they conveniently just stopped are they just
going to stand in place are they going to rot away are they
going to disappear for the rest of the world how much is actually gone
if anything it should be most of it unless attack on titan does bring in
some convenient time magic into place there should be no going back that is
despite this so-called friendship ending and i have been wanting to make a video
about this but let me ask it here what type of finale do you want
a happy ending a dark ending i've always personally been somewhere in the middle
some type of bittersweet ending for this type of series
after thinking about it more and drinking a little bit i do have faith in
isayama there are two chapters left there still is a whole mystery
surrounding Eren you know the guy is definitely not dead is there a twist
coming i wouldn't be surprised if in the next
chapter two there is another family talk Eren mikasa and armin talking in the
titan room or some other place maybe thompson grisha zeke and kruger
in there at this point i want my theory of Eren
pulling the strings on everything to come true
that Eren allowed this whole mess to come together to rally
everyone ultimately it wasn't talk no jitsu or the power of friendship
but rather Eren planned the past titans to appear via his powers
which means we need to figure out what's been going on with Eren there has been
no point of view from him for a while because i'm finding it really hard to
accept and swallow then suddenly he went from Eren being this big bad villain
figure but now oh no it's not Eren it was due
to that titan centipede the whole time combining that with everything that just
took place it would make the whole finale seem
empty i do have a feeling that emma will try to explain the titan realm and that
titan centipede a lot more next chapter i'm afraid of what's going to come with
this it already seems pretty silly which was one of my fears
the entire time speaking of which there is an unresolved
issue about the titans with nuking the titan centipede prevent future titans
i highly doubt it i really don't think Eren died but if he did die there
really is only one upcoming baby candidate for those titan powers
you gotta go ahead and fix that otherwise everything's just gonna
restart from square one anyway this whole thing has been long so
if you do take anything away from this don't worry not yet especially if you
didn't like this i'm gonna stand by my previous theory
predictions 1.
Eren is behind all of this Eren will be the ultimate victor
if he does lose it's because he's been planning it all along
two ymir will get reborn either reincarnated as historious baby or
some other true real freedom three some major juicy twist
or reveal is coming up whether it involves everyone or not
number four involving mikasa she really needs to get this final piece for her
character arc whether it's her offing Eren or some
final separation from him come on we need to get that
scarf moment call it whatever you want maybe it's blind faith well all of this
should be part of Isayama or Eren master plan i'm betting he
knew everyone would react this way to this chapter for anyone that didn't like
it and then he's gonna come through with
the final two chapters and for people that keep on asking me
about the falco titan thing no from what you've seen in the anime i
don't think he's gonna eat Eren i'll just leave it at that anyway go
crazy in the comments again this was just a quick first impressions
i'm about one drink in not too much depending on what
happens and if i do actually have time maybe i'll do a follow up and whether
you love the chapter the power of friendship
or just hated it don't be a dick to one another please
