You're all getting to the ocean in attack on Titan season 3! So what's up
guys Foxen here! You heard that right it's official as it gets. Two arcs are
deathly confirmed for attack on Titan season 3. Anyway finally I got some time
to make this video at 3 a.m. I was lucky enough to catch the attack on Titan
season 3 premiere at Anime Expo. This year was there as an industry guest
There is so much to cover so I'm definitely gonna go down everything that
happened in this first episode. That includes all the changes which there's
already a ton. They did cut a huge chunk of fat out too so let me mention this is
gonna include spoilers for the first episode and the uprising arc for stuff
covered in the first episode. Let me begin this by saying and to quote me
later Attack on Titan in season 3 will be the
best attack on Titan season yet. I'm completely convinced about that after
watching episode 1. I was in tears by the end of this first episode. I mentioned
about two arcs being confirmed. They actually start the first episode with
the ocean scene yeah I'm not even joking. You see this long-haired Eren and he's
just looking forward into the distance you could hear the sound of the wind and
sound of the ocean nearby. It's just Eren there from his backside
No Armin or Mikasa anywhere and that is how you begin attack on Titan season 3
hmm are they spoiling anything? Next up as for the new opening
unfortunately at this premiere they did not show the new opening or new ending
At this point I'm guessing the new opening visuals and song may not be
completed just yet however we do have information about this linked horizon is
not returning to make the opening. Instead for the new opening for season 3
it's gonna be X Japan featuring Hyde. These guys are basically musical Titans
from Japan which is really yet another example of how attack on Titan in season
3 is going all-out. Keep in mind that attack on Titan in season 3 should have
two openings. I would not be surprised at all if we see them coming back for the
beast Titan arc which I'm actually hoping for! Also really quick I mentioned
being at Anime Expo this year as an industry guest so I may or may not have
gotten a chance to meet a certain raging voice actor. It was just so awesome!
Anyway onto the episode. Knowing what's coming up with this Arc it
really felt like I was watching the uprising arc on Fast forward and I am
getting ahead of myself but you actually got to see everything from the attack on
Titan season 3 trailer except for two scenes. Anyway from this breakdown I'm
just gonna go chapter by chapter starting with chapter 51 which was the
end of attack on titan season 2. If you recalled there was a scene covered at
the very end of the finale it was an interaction between Hange Erwin and Levi
They were discussing some juicy info about Titan related stuff
Unfortunately this didn't make it into the actual episode. At the beginning for
this episode that instead got put into one of the mid episode info cards. This was
talking about how the human brain was related to functionality within a Titan
body specifically about the mindless titans not Eren. By now I'm sure you've
seen the leaked clip of episode 1 from season 3 which is really just a Survey
Corps hiding out. Let me actually jump to Pastor Nick for starters as a nice
change they actually added a quick scene of the pastor alive. Pastor Nick
suddenly got a knock on the door one night and then is the last you heard of
him. Compare this to the manga where he just see Hange telling everyone that
the pastor died then flashes back to her interaction with the military police. For
Hange's whole scene here compared to the manga it really seemed like the scene
was either simplified or they just cut out some of the extra detail in the
dialogue. As for the pastor's torture scene this was kept pretty much the same
as the manga which was really one still image with blood effects flying across
the screen. This went by really quickly I wasn't able to notice too much of it
except The guy's fist. Next up a little bit later as Hange and Levi are
discussing this with the survey corps members. In the manga there's a lot more
detail in the conversation between them but for the anime it seemed like they
just decided to stick on the pastor topic. As for one big change here when
Historia and Eren are alone doing the dishes or whatever they actually have
their conversation. Here Eren makes a comment about how Historia not seem
fake anymore. This whole conversation does take place in the manga but you
actually don't see it until two chapters later. As for something else they changed
with this episode they actually don't get into a Historia's past here. In the
manga this happened in the second half of chapter 52 instead you do see a still
image when Levi talks about it so Historia telling them about what
happened does happen in a series. They're really
just saving it for later. Next up Eren's Titan training so you
seen it from the trailer you see Eren's Titan training here which starts in
the manga in chapter 53. Hange was really just trying to see if
Eren could get his Titan hard to help seal the wall. As for that one scene here
they really did make Eren's face look quite gruesome it really made you feel
really bad for him everyone like freaking dead or like a year old zombie
For a second I just forgot that he could regenerate. Oh and Mikasa sounded really
worried. As for another change here that's pretty much it for all the Titan
training from the chapter. The episode only goes up to them finishing the Titan
training and then getting the hell out of that area.
They didn't even include the scene of Eren waking up again. As for Erwin
this chapter I'm actually not sure whether they showed Erwin and if they
did it must have been very brief because in the next scene it does jump to the
Survey Corps getting the scene about Erwin getting arrested so they get the
hell out of their hideout. As they're taking off do notice quite a few new
additions first off before Hange and Eren split off
Eren hands a letter over to Hange. Eren said he just remembered a conversation
between Ymir and Reiner when he was kidnapped
Eren just didn't have a chance to tell her earlier. This actually did happen in
the manga but it doesn't happen until three chapters later. As for a second new
addition in the scene where the guys are torching their previous hideout
A little bit later you do get this nice shot of Kenny and his blonde assistant
overlooking the area. Kenny just makes a comment about how Levi was quick to
escape. Jumping over to the scene where they're setting up not Eren and not
Historia to get captured you get a good chunk of new stuff. For whatever reason
on this day there's some sort of king's festival taking place. They go ahead and
mention how once a year the king is kind enough to share his wealth with the
people. Everyone gets some sort of ration. Right here you have Sasha thinking about
how the king must be really generous. Talking about the scene here's a new
scene added for him. It jumps to the king's throne room shot from the trailer
Right here they mentioned something about having only 60% left or giving 60%
of their savings away. For some reason they're doing these type of giveaways to
the people to raise the King's approval. Here also notice an important change, Rod
Reiss is confirmed to be in this shot specifically they're telling this
information to him. The king is just in the
background listening or asleep. Next up of course a kidnapping takes
place. A little before this compared to the manga I do believe that the dialogue
here was shortened. Next up the whole warehouse scene yeah I'm talking about
not Eren and not Historia. To be honest I didn't think too much of the scene when
I first read it perhaps I just sped through it however now seeing Armin
molested in the anime it just made my freaking skin crawl. It was disturbing to
watch and then some people were laughing in the audience but I was just picturing
Historia there instead, I'm a little glad that instead Armin took the bullet sorry
Armin! Next up on top of the warehouse you still get this interaction
between Mikasa and Levi. Mikasa goes ahead and ask how Levi's leg
is doing. I actually thought this was a nice scene added but it was at the end of
chapter 53. It does however feel like they spend more time on this in the
anime. You can really tell that Mikasa feels bad about it. I mean it was her
fault after all. Although here notice a big change after they have this
conversation Levi takes off. Levi is completely cut
from the warehouse scene so what does this mean for Levi's scenes
in the warehouse? Instead of having Mikasa and Levi beat up everyone in the
warehouse although that is given to Mikasa alone so you got Mikasa kicking
much more ass in the anime. 100% more ass for Mikasa. Of course this means
for the scenes after this with Levi talking to the Reeves boss never happened
At least not yet. In the warehouse at the time that the boss is being questioned
about who hired him, it cuts Levi else where on the rooftop. Right here Levi is
with Nifa and some other Survey guys nearby. Here that's pretty much it for
chapter 54. As for chapter 55 and 56 both of these chapters were completely
skipped. The only small being covered was evarin recalling that conversation with
the Ymir and Reiner that i mentioned earlier. Is this stuff gonna happen later?
Perhaps. Next up fast forward to chapter 57 you got Levi on the rooftop from the
manga. At this point do you notice that real Eren and real Historia have already
been kidnapped in the anime however Levi is instead tracking down this other
carriage. I would imagine Eren and Historia are safe somewhere else
Anyway asked for the kills the first blood splatter is
poor Nifa. This happens really quick in the anime and it doesn't really get as
much attention as it does in the manga. However the shot of mr. googles getting
getting killed looks much worse. You do get a close-up shot of his Dead
face and then it looks like his body fell over the building. Of course this
happens from Kenny appearing. To be honest I'm not sure if I'm recalling
this correctly but I do believe that Kenny's gun color was changed to a more
bronze or golden color instead of the silver as you saw from the trailer. In
this episode you do still see Levi screaming out pissed off at him however
this is followed from the shot in the trailer with kenny squad coming in all of
a sudden you see like twenty or thirty of these guys in the air around kenny
and levi then it's over! So what a freaking cliffhanger and I do love that
addition. Anyway as for things that were cut this episode first off anything
involving Erwin seems to not have been covered that includes Erwin's
conversation with Pixis, Erwin talking with Hange or Erwin's forced meeting
with the King. All of this isn't here yet another thing that was caught with
anything was the Reeves Boss. This does include Levi's conversation with him on
top of the wall and him doing that fake kidnapping of Eren and Historia. The only
thing in this episode was that initial warehouse scene so who knows how
they're still gonna do them. Earlier I did mention that every single shot from
the attack on Titan season 3 trailer did appear in this episode except for two
scenes. Both of those were actually Levi's scenes the first was of Levi's
running away from Kenny shooting him and then the second was of Levi's
cutting those two guys in half. I would imagine both of these are in episode 2
So so far this episode has so many changes they've run from chapter 51 all
the way to chapter 57. You might be wondering why? Why are they making all
these changes? It really all goes back to Isayama
He's actually been pretty open about how he wasn't happy about the uprising arc
in the manga so now he's using this opportunity in the anime to fix it. Also
keep in mind that along the changes here were perhaps to start off season 3 with
the bang. Otherwise it would have been pretty slow for the first two or three
episodes if they did follow a shot-for-shot from the manga. Since
they've already made all these changes to the uprising arc so far I really
can't wait to see what they do for the rest
the series but anyway let me hear from you now question of the day what do you
think about them kicking off season three with the ocean scene? Is it too much
of a spoiler? And how do you feel about all these huge changes? By the way if you
do have any questions about this first episode definitely post below! Anyway
definitely gives us a Colossal thumbs up and subscribe! If you're new to the channel
you can watch over five anime videos here every wee.k I will be doing weekly
breakdowns for attack on Titan season three once it starts. I can't wait!
Check out my recent non-spoiler review on the my Hero academia movie was it
