Not black mailed how bout desperate pressed for time. Being beat by some one stronger like idk the ape titans faction. And the key to winning being in Eren's dad place but they just don't know which house it is or have the key to find it. Oh ya eren had a key 0-o.

It is frustrating they changed the order of events a bit in episode 5.
The way episode 5 showed how Eren's team got massacred made it looked like his team only went after him, because they where forced to go after Eren because he choose to go on ahead. In the manga they go after him after he lost his leg. The way the anime depicted these event made it look like it was Eren's fault his team got massacred. It looks like many anime-only views are thinking this. |

I wonder if the people who're good enough to tell it's Eren in Chapter 7 will find it cliche, a deus ex machina, an asspull, or just another shounen thing about SnK. It'll be pretty frustrating for me if it gets a lot of negative views like that, because I know that it's not as "shounen" as one would normally think. |

If there are some people who can tell it's Titan Eren in the coming weeks, I think that's where the emphasis on his flashback with his dad is going to be a saving grace (i.e. Titan Eren won't be seen as an asspull)
Most will probably come to the conclusion that that injection is the cause of his Titan powers (like many of us manga readers have). |

And I don't think it's so expensive to do. Rewritting history and erasing proofs is usual in our world, I would say. To be honest, I'm feeling like my english is not good enough for discussing this matter, but another example of how something is lost and ceases to be used when nobody knows is the hypocaust system.

i had to backtrack to chapter 4 and the distance between eren and the titan was NOWHERE near that far apart from how the anime showed it. again terrible change in my eyes. now most of the anime-only viewers i see on various forums treat eren like shit for doing what he did in the anime. |

Yes.
I don't know in wich country you live, but here is common that, when you're doing stuff and something shows up, you just destroy it or, most times, cover it and continue to build over it. It's not legal, it's even a crime, but it happens all the time, unless the one doing the building is central state or you're nice enough to notify your discovery to the authorities. That's what happens when nobody gives the slightest about cultural heritage because contemporany business are more profitable. For exaple: there's a shopping center near my place. When they built it, they found a visigothic necropolis. I didn't knew about it and, shame on me, I'm a historian, because they built over it anyways and it didn't reach the popular media (I think I've found only a scientific paper about it). I knew of it because I know an archaeologist who worked at the site when they were carrying out a brief emergency excavation. Another case. When I was living in another city, there was certain commotion when local media discovered that they were to cover and, ultimately, destroy, an archaeological site for the sake of building blocks for flats. And we're talking about the potential precursors of said city. So yes, I think it's pretty common in lots of places. I don't think the most right way of doing things is the average way in our world.

What you're talking about are archeological sites not technologies. You're not going to convincing me by making these kind of comparisons since I don't believe it's the same thing at all. You'd need to provide proof that there are technologies that have completely removed from out knowledge, but well... that's impossible, because if they were successfully removed then we wouldn't know. But that's why your whole statement that this "usually happens" doesn't make sense. Look what I don't agree with you is that removing any traces of a technology is as easy as burning a book. It might be relatively easy to destroy any info on how to create compact disks, but eliminating any single compact disk in the world is a whole different endeavor. Good luck with that. And this is just one. Multiply this for every single technological tool that we have.

thats still pretty iffy tbh,
I mean if this were the case, then why would the big titans have to destroy parts of the settlement? (if they wanted to make more human titans) Wouldn't be just a lot easier to kidnap a few humans at night or something? Or just show the battle with the real titans and recruit people to become a part of the anti-titan titan army or whatever? It wouldn't make sense to go through all of that when you could just easily recruit them. That and the fact that bertholdt and the other guy are waaay stronger than the monkey guy who didn't know anything about the 3d gear. he didnt know about the gear because he wasn't a spy in the settlement... We know that it takes some crazy injection to turn a human into a titan, and that titans detect human emotion. . . Quote:

While rereading the chapter until the potential ending for the anime (30-34), I found something weird
I might miss the details but why Annie refused to follow Eren, Mikasa and Armin to the underground again? I mean if she just followed them there, they can't conclude that Annie is a titan (again, what's the relationship between not going underground against being a titan) It might be related to titan inside the wall since that father asked the hole to be closed immediately before sunlight hits it

Obviously the reason why she wouldnt go underground is because she cannot shift to a titan form if things got bad. She would be stuck and unable to move if she tried. Probably they were getting ready to arrest her when she got there and she knew it. Thats the same reason why they kept Eren underground previously (when he was shackled).

Annie said that she isn't a brave person when she refused to go underground, she probably meant that she didn't have the courage to withstand a trial and the several interrogations (perhaps even tortures) to make her confess that she is a titan.
We have seen how it went with Eren. Perhaps someone like Reiner could have managed it, and no one would have been able to prove that he was indeed a titan, but Annie preferred to just escape at that point.

I mean if I were Annie, I'll just follow them underground, said no for every questions that related to titan if she was asked...and that's it
what they have till that point is only Armin's speculation I don't think Mikasa, Eren or Armin will start cutting her hand/throat like Reiner or Berthold case (which is basically Annie's fault to give that wrong impression to other members) I always thought that it was because the "no sunlight allowed" theory from chapter 34, but that might also be the case

Also, Annie's not at fault. Mikasa obviously listened to what Reiner and Bertolt were saying. It was already clear that Reiner was going to transform. Bertolt even asked Reiner if he's going to do it right there and then. Thus Mikasa attacked. |
