The torture was skipped, after all. I would have liked to see people's reaction to a certain device.
Anyway, the protagonists are facing their biggest crisis yet. It's them against everyone else. Reeves jr might be able to clear the whole thing up, if he doesn't get killed first that is. Erwin has bigger plans than just getting released though. He wants Historia to become Queen to clear corruption and unveil the conspiracy within the walls.

They explain the Reiss family are the real royal family of the country while the current King is a pretender and possibly a puppet king for the conspirators. If anyone knew the truth, they would have use Historia/Christa as a figurehead to over throw the current government which the latter won't like it since it means the end of their corrupt rule.

Man, Historia childhood was sucking really hard. Douchebag dad and bitch mother and a whole bunch of cold-blooded guys who got no problem to cut her throat. Poor girl deserves some happiness, albeit I fear she won't find it as ruler (or as puppet of the military commander) of this kingdom.

I'd say it's also about information control. The less people know about Reiss, the less it can be used against the userpers.
I don't think they were keeping Historia on hand. I think Reiss was keeping her a secret but got found out and had to persuade them to leave her alone by sending her to the military.

While all these story development and infodump about the background of some of the characters are interesting, all I want to see is what that damn key opens in the basement in eren's home in shigashina.
It's been 6 years!

Also maybe Kenny has a softer spot for children as its being positioned that he took care of Levi and (maybe?) Misaka...So maybe Kenny is about the kids...Mofo certainly ain't bout the adults lol...

Mikasa's biography isn't a secret. She lived with her parents until they were killed by bandits, then she lived with Eren and his parents until the fall of Wall Maria, then she lived with other orphans (including Eren and Armin) until they could enlist. Then she was a cadet, living in the barracks, then a scout, living wherever duty took her. Where does Kenny fit in that? Jean's life more of a mystery than hers. Maybe he lived with Kenny? |

How do you know Kenny never visited when she still lived with her parents? I agree he never took care of her, but we can't say for certain he's never met her.
No way he just happens to have the same surname as her either. They're obviously related.

Old Story
Truth takes on the weirdest of forms and gets found in the most depressing circumstances, but nobody knows for sure what comes after is exposed.
In one scenario, Historia's childhood seemed to me depressing at not being ever acknowledged by her birth mother at all; a cowardly woman that looked like she just fancied herself ever to be released of her cage momentarily in the city. Meanwhile, Rod Reiss exposed himself to be not only her birth father but also the true King inside the Walls. Funny, that he attempted to summon his estranged child the same night that Wall Maria fell. Moreover, intriguing, that the MP First Interior Squad assassins were dispatched to deal with the troublesome loose knots that existences of both Historia and her mother posed to the government? Any case, whenever the Government, the MP, and the King are involved in their political shenanigans, surely, Kenny Ackerman, the Slasher, will be found in the midst carving and piling the bodies. On the other hand, we have Erwin's childhood story delivering to the audience insight on his motivations to overthrow the Government, as they don't care about the truth or humanity's welfare but falling slave to their own selfish greed and arrogance. Connecting the dots, Djel Sannes delivered the killing blow to Erwin's father throughout that gruesome, torture session for the latter stepping out of bounds and posing a threat to the King's authority. So, basically is spreading wings to grasp a semblance of personal freedom is to be considered a traitorous act against the King's authority inside the Walls? For what benefit? for the pigs to act as they please and continue indulging themselves in their gluttony for luxurious goods and riches? Dimo Reeves may have had a bastard attitude during the Battle of Trost, but even he knew when to draw the line so as not to get carried away by his own greed and selfishness. Profits are no good if both you and your consumers perish all along with the city you're supplying. Compared to the nobles, he was at least half decent and realist on the predicament that humanity faces. Now, that the pigs and the wild boar made their move at ensnaring the Scout Regiment pack out cold, then it comes now to both Hange and Levi squad to turn the tables against Rod Reiss. But, surely, Erwin raising his own death flag was as unpleasant as Hange feeling contrived and troubled on what Sannes let it on: history will always repeat over, and at some point another act will take on the predetermined roles to keep the act together. |
