Farewell Kenny! Seeya Ackerman cowboy! So what's up guys Foxen here! Oh but what
is this at the end? The Beast Titan and armored Titan have returned! Looks like
this hairy beast is ready for even more action but hold up you'll hear about
this in a bit! At the start of this juicy episode you see Kenny all burnt up and
bleeding out thanks for that Levi! Fortunately this leads you into finding
out the truth behind Kenny. What was motivating this Ackerman beast? In the
past younger Kenny seemed to only care about being the top dog. He even
mentioned about not caring about his Ackerman family's persecution. From this
is clear that Kenny found out about the Reiss family location from roughing up
some interior military police guy. However was Kenny at this point only
trying to kill Uri and Rod simply his way of passing time? Or Kenny perhaps
was even lying to himself? Either way unfortunately Kenny Ackerman had never
faced a real Titan before. At this point I'm pretty sure that Kenny had never
even seen a mindless Titan in person either. No surprise that Kenny would be
squashed like a bug up against not only this Titan shifter but Uri's founding
Titan. Also props to Uri for using that partial Titan transformation. As for
Uri Reiss himself technically you got a glimpse of him in
the last episode but this is the first time you're seeing him and to hear him
in the anime. While reading the manga I was really reminded of Armin when
seeing Uri. Now seeing Uri's anime counterpart that's not really the case
at all. For starters Uri is definitely not a
blonde but more importantly his voice doesn't seem to fit his appearance at
least is not what I imagined. I originally thought it would be something
softer which would actually be more similar to Armin. Looks like they didn't
want to go that direction. And by the way you do hear an interesting line here
from Rod. Rod tell Uri to make him talk using his founding Titan powers. The
almighty founding Titan does have the power to manipulate memories but could
this possibly extend further? In the case of Kenny doesn't really matter he's from
one of the minority groups. Kenny here starts to freak the hell out when he's
realized his fate. Pretty interesting to see what type of garbage he just
spills out. Kenny here wasn't exactly begging for his life either
so even Kenny at his most desperate he's just now flipped to Kenny the Ripper to
200%. Meanwhile during this you hear older Kenny's own thoughts so once overwhelmed he
truly realized just weak he really was. At this point in time
Kenny should have already triggered that Ackerman moment so unsurprisingly Kenny
was really the top dog when it came against fighting any humans inside of
the walls. I'm sure you heard the familiar tale. You got this top genius
guy that's good at everything. Suddenly they lose for the first time in their
life then suddenly they snap as they don't know how to cope with a new
situation. That completely happened to Kenny right here. As for Uri letting
Kenny off the hook pretty interesting stuff here. This really could be his own
video regarding the founding Titan Plus first King's will. Right here you have
Uri asking Kenny for forgiveness while freaking bowing to him.
Notice how Kenny could have easily headshot his ass but still Uri who
possesses the founding Titan and he let Kenny decide his fate. Just imagine how
different the Attack on Titan entire story would have been had Kenny pulled the
trigger. Perhaps even more interesting is that line or thought from the king about
him being a fool who couldn't built this paradise. Does this mean the
original king has regrets? Was this true goal of this utopia within the walls?
Some things here don't exactly add up? Now I'm considering even more doing a
video on the founding Titan. Let me know if you'd be interested! Anyway right here
at the plea from Uri was somehow able to stop this Ackman and Reiss family
circle of hate. Kenny even chose to frickin follow him. Perhaps this is the
answer to stopping all violence. By the way I just love this shot of Kenny not
giving a damn within the council. These guys are super uncomfortable they're
like who let this fella into the group? Next up all of a sudden Kenny's final
moments turned into Levi's origin story here and now I recall reading is from
the manga. It turns out just about everyone in this cruel cruel world has
this tragic background. Unsurprisingly it's no exception for Levi Ackerman. Levi's
mama used to be this prostitute in the underground city turns out that Levi is
a product from that. It seemed like they were pretty broke too.
The cherry on top of this crap sundae was that Levi's mother passed away from
the sickness. Meanwhile kid Levi was left without a damn thing. All of a sudden
uncle Kenny comes passing by. Young Levi* right here looks so famished.
He must be skin and bone. I know some of you said he looks like L from
deathnote. I could see that a little bit. Something that really got to me here was
Kenny's realization when Levi told him his name.
In this moment Kenny figured out that his sister wouldn't be using their
Ackerman family name. It would have been way too much of a burden and risk.
Kenny then continues this by not informing Levi about his Ackerman name
either. From this you slowly gotta see that Kenny wasn't a total monster. He
couldn't just leave Levi there or I guess technically he could off but the key
bit right here is that he didn't. Of course Kenny didn't see himself as
father material so was Kenny's only objective just itself enough Levi before
letting him free in the underground? I'm pretty sure that's what he decided early
on. As for Kenny teaching Levi Levi got taught practically everything he knew
just to make himself just like him like a Kenny jr. version 2.00 and I just
noticed something about this shot. In the background you see a Levi with this
kid sized cup of the good stuff. Meanwhile uncle Kenny here is having fun with this
bald dude. It turns out this guy is the one that Kenny just kicked the crap out
of. Oh Kenny you're so funny! Eventually Kenny did keep his promise
See cya Levi and good luck to you! You're already the top of this dump also
known as the underground. The question is was this Levi right here before or after
his own Ackerman trigger moment? If it was before
holy dam Levi. Already kicking major adult ass left and right just as
this little kid. Keep in mind this was Levi who was just skin and bones not too
long ago, Next up what seems to be Uri Reiss's own
final days. At this moment Uri was looking super aged up and quite fragile
hmm better not mess with any of that Titan stuff. Here is where Uri
revealed the secrets of the Titan memory inheritance to Kenny. Even stranger is
Uri mentioning this future to come that their world were crumble and also
about his failure to build his paradise. For this there's a whole lot of possible
interpretations. One obvious one is they're all starting to crumble due to
the Warriors attacking. Thank You colossal Titan! Eventually you have Frieda
taking on the founding Titan powers from Uri so it seems that Frieda
assume the same position that Uri had left behind.
Kenny mentions here being able to see Uri in Frieda's eyes. there's one weird
thing to notice here if what Kenny said was true why did Kenny not try to
interact with Frieda? Either way it's never been shown if he
did or did not. I'd imagine if Kenny truly thought that his best buddy Uri
was in there somewhere then Kenny would at least try to reach
out. Instead Kenny was drastically affected in a different life from his
Titan inheritance. It became clear that Kenny was extremely lost looking for
that special something. Was this what led up to Kenny seeking that power?
Ironically instead of getting closer to Freida he became closer with the brother
Rod to try to achieve his goal. Anyway as for the formation of the Kenny squad I
freaking love how blunt Kenny is here. Oh hi there! I'm Kenny Ackerman! Yeah I kill
thousands of you then I got so bored so now I'm leader. Let's go ahead and have
fun together. Of course this whole Kenny focus episode led into his true
motivations perhaps Kenny always thought of himself as garbage. At the same time
he despised his cruel road and thought violence could help him achieve anything.
Then suddenly if reality hit him like a 120 meter Turkey Titan. I've seen some of you
comment about how all Kenny wanted was a founding Titan power to make himself a
god. Technically that is true at least partially although it wasn't that simple.
Kenny was really always that lost dog that was searching for something. He
thought that special something could be achieved via this founding Titan power.
That power would ultimately help Kenny realized the truth to his life's desire.
Next up about that Ackerman mid info card. Hey they're tying all the Ackermann
together. Kenny and Levi are obviously related but Mikasa also fits in there
somewhere too. Is this gonna stop Levi and Mikasa shippers? Not a chance I bet. And
by the way something about Levi. Near the start of the episode you see Levi searching
around the area sporting this gun. I don't know but this thing is way to out
of place for Levi. Hand this guy some pair of blades! Anyway as for Kenny's
final moments here ironically now that Kenny was at death's door Kenny had at
least found out that special something. He had been searching for quietly Kenny
had been carefully watching every person he ever came across in his life. Every
one of them was a slave to something even the almighty founding titan was not
immune to this. Ultimately this is why Kenny did not inject himself with that
tight and syringe so sorry Levi. Seems you've weren't able to get too much useful
information before Kenny logged off. Levi however did gain +1 Titan injection
better go give that to Hange as soon as possible! Let's make enough of this Titan
juice for a whole Titan army just in case!
And then goddammit you killed Kenny. It sure as hell was not a long time but
really sad to see this mass murderer go and I never thought I'd be saying that.
Next up this episode you see Queen Historia being crowned. I gotta say I
really loved how Historia looked here so colorful, I always didn't
feel the impact from the same manga panel shot. Here anime Historia gives us
as commanding presence. Oh historia you're making Erwin proud! Then you have this
story as fun moment. Oh Mikasa you're so funny
taking advantage of that Queen title it's not at all like you're sending a
bunny into a lion's den. On top of this even mr. Horse was egging her on. Here
you saw the almighty Levi. Did you notice the light shining on this gift from the
Titan gods? Right here I really like how Historia even realized what she was
doing and got scared as hell. From everyone's reactions I loved how Mikasa
was smiling. Does Mikasa smile much at all? hmm Talking about smiling oh yes
smiling Levi fully animated now. Somewhere in a distance a Titan just lost but
let's be honest Levi must be smiling at that weak-ass punch. It'd be like Hawkeye
punching Captain America's shield. Next up oh yes the Titan shifters are back!
The beast Titan vs. Reiner's armored Titan. However the armored Titan is already
smacked out. Look at his face he just took a prison beat down. The beast Titan
easily smashed this guy's face and armor plating. I'm actually getting
chills.Just thinking back to the manga version of this. The manga shot of this
had a caption that says something around the lines of the strongest Titan
question mark? Oh yes and the beast Titan users abs still nothing from Levi but
look at the mysterious man from the end of season 2. I still seeing a lot of you
guys commenting claiming this is Grisha? From season 3 you now know Papa Yeager's
fate but more importantly the uprising arc is officially over beast titan arc
here we come! Oh by the way they only did cover one chapter this episode. Right now
there's 20 or so chapters left for the upcoming arc let's see how they change
things up if at all. By the way really quickly I recently did a huge patreon
update please go ahead and check it out and become a supporter if you can. The
lowest here is only a dollar and that includes discord access.
Really trying hard to bring on my buddy John to help out with the channel so
please take a look! But anyway more important let me hear
your thoughts on this episode. Question of the day: what did you think of Kenny
Ackerman overall now that he's gone? Did anyone else feel sad or has anyone else
ever felt the same way? Oh and how about that Levi smile?
