Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan) - Manga discussion

[The Small One]

I'm a bit confused about the "War Hammer Titan"-thing.
Wasn't it said up until now, that there are only nine titans?
Eren has two of them (Attack and Original/Coordinate), then there is Armin with Colossal and Annie with the Female one, which makes four on the island. And the remaining five Titans were assembled in the room this chapter. So how does this additional titan fit in?

[Kanon]

Original
Attack
Female
Colossal
Armored
Jaw
Mule
Beast
Warhammer

That's nine. Who is the extra one according to you?

I think he means the guy who was with the four titans in the room, I thought he was the last titan but then they mention the war hammer is with the taybar family.

Does anyone else find reading about these brainwashed hypocritical idiots painful?

These later chapters have been kinda cringy to read.

So, aside from the mentioning of the original nine titans, anything else happened in this chapter?

I was actually wondering if Zeke is really serious, or if he just told them, what the Marleyans wanted to hear.
Even if they get back the other Titans, their days are numbered. The best path to survival should be to join the Eldians on Paradis Island. That should be clear to them.

What exactly are the chances that the Paradis Eldians (the people of the walls) would forgive their "cousins". I wouldn't be surprised if the Walled Eldians would refuse to accept any ties between the two people.

As I can see it, the Walled just want to be left alone and explore the world. And the Slaves want to kill them over false justice, and to please their Marleyan masters.
Even if the Islanders are descended from butchers, they clearly don't remember it, and I believe they would see everyone else as the real devils, trying to slaughter them over their ancestor's supposed sins.

[Mr. DJ]

All right...lets start the death clock for Reiner.

They literally can't remember. Wiping their memories whenever rebellion looked possible was one of the powers of the original titan. It's never been suggested that memories could be restored the same way.

I think the importance of these chapters is to establish the factions outside the island. Marley is going to lose the war at this rate, a consequence of their pride after defeating the Eldians long ago. The mainland Eldians have long been brainwashed by Marley propaganda into constantly hating their heritage. And you can see the internal struggles of some of the named Titans after their time on the island, let alone the rift between all of these factions.

I can't say I sympathize with any of them, though, and I definitely can't stand the kids. Plus they killed Ymir. Screw them.

Maybe he's the guy who is already set to inherit the Beast titan? I admit I have a hard time keeping track of those new characters.

[foxbox360]

The Islanders are properly in Marley already and doing some recons to set up the nation downfall. when they take down all the warriors, Marley is fuck because all the other nation will take the chance to invade them.

[Wandering Soul]

Maybe Reiner would have been better off dying against the recon corps. At least that way, he wouldn't have to go on suffering since that seems to be the only reason he is being kept alive

[ReddyRedWolf]

Heh~ They keep talking about the "Devils" of Paradis island being a threat to the world when Marley's Eldian troops are that. I can't wait for the twist Paradis already sent envoys to other countries and making deals with to trap Marley when all their conscious titans are on the island. For the first time they have royalty that isn't the First King. That all they want is to be left alone. They'll take care of the Marley Titans while the other countries drive a dagger at Marley's heartlands.

About the War Hammer Titan clan taybar why do I have a feeling they pulled the same trick as the Fritz becoming the Reiss. As the real power behind the scenes.

[Old Rick]

Zeke is spurred to speak by the admiral's comment on the Ms
declining military fortune and lose of titan monopoly, that
threatens the position of himself and his family. He frankly states
he does not want to face perils of the island again and it is a job
for his eldest Colt. This in spite of Colt's non ace performance on
and off the field.

Reiner not at all kindly urges the young Falco to challenge his niece
for the armored titan there by saving her from what this entails.
Gabi surpass Falco in military skill and drive, she is also mental
acute as shown by her conversation alone with Reiner.

My gut instinct based on the mangaka's earlier work is that Colt
will disappear fairly quickly and this side of the story will center
on Gabi, Falco. and possibly Reiner.

The mangaka has created a truly poisonous atmosphere where
the Ms fear and despise the Es while brutally governing them, and
some of the Es play along with this for safety, status, and perks a
truly modern politically correct story.

Honestly I've given up hoping for the Eldians on the Marleyan continent to be saved, there a lost cause. They've been brainwashed so much that you just have to pity them on how pathetic they look when they obey and bow down to their Mayleyan masters. They fail to even understand that as long as they live under Marleyan control, they will never be free. Eren and historian were right, the world is their enemy.

Well, the brainwashing can be undone by the mind control power of the coordinate. Eren could just change all their memories… at least if he has a bit of Krista's blood and used the timeskip to train his powers.

[Ruki0089]

Chapter 96 is out~~ poor Reiner... I really pity him...

[Kanon]

Reiner must feel incredibly guilty. I really liked Annie in this chapter, she didn't seem brainwashed like the other two, which might mean she changed sides during the timeskip.

[WyrdMonger]

Is it alright to ask for summaries?
I got sick of seeing those ignorant fools, so I stopped reading for now.

[Hongie]

I wish Eren an Mikasa will end with love )))

[Old Rick]

Besides the stored memories bedeviling Reiner and Galliard/Pokko.
it should be evident that Bertolt's stored crush on Annie was
inherited or inflicted on Armin.

I suspect this series will play out much like a Greek tragedy for all
concerned.
