SnK Chapter 99 Poll Results

The chapter 98 poll closed with 1,751 responses.

Thank you to everyone who participated.



RATE THE CHAPTER

1,722 Responses

On the “awful” to “awesome” scale of 1-5, nearly 70% of respondents rated “Guilty Shadow” with a “5″, making it the highest rated chapter since we started polling. Well done, Isayama!



On that day, Marley received a grim reminder… this chapter woke up the obsessed snk fan in me, finally JESUS CHRIST



SNK has always been a wild ride, but I don’t believe I’ve ever been this excited and frustrated that I don’t have the next chapter in my hands RIGHT NOW- if only to satisfy the itch of knowing which half-hidden face is who from Paradis. And also to figure out what they’ve done to Porco, Pieck and Zeke to neutralize them while Eren gives Reiner the most uncomfortable tableside chat.

My heart was pounding throughout the entire chapter. The last time that happened was chapter 84 and I gotta say, I finally feel like this whole Marley arc has been worth it. What an adrenaline rush it’s become! Now that’s now Attack On Titan is supposed to be. I can’t wait to see everybody else again and proceed to reach the climax of the story.

The hype for SNK 100 is too real. Everything will explode

I need Ch100 right now immediately. Waiting another month is going to be torture. In the meantime I hope Porco and Pieck enjoy their time in the pit. If it turns out that Helos is Levi I will eat my own platform boots



It was amazing. Really great story.

I’m so glad this chapter is fake and SnK ended last month with everyone having a huge pizza party!



….is it December yet?





DID THIS CHAPTER SHOOK YOU?

1,711 Responses

To not be excited by this chapter was simply not an option, but I’ll assume that those who voted “Yes” are slightly more subdued than the majority of us who shouted “AW YISS”.



omfg hype for next chapter!!! How does Eren not have a leg, it really should’ve grown back, this doesn’t make sense. Why is he even there, I feel like I missed something but it’s probably just this manga’s bizarre structuring. I’ve been selling my soul the past few months. There is nothing more to sell.

Kill me now The hype is REAL. I had a feeling issue #100 would be THE BANGER. This issue (#99) however set the stage for the next one. We have potentially Connie and Jean going undercover, we have Willy’s solution that is just about to be revealed, the Asian woman’s sudden leave, etc. I am really excited to see what will happen next month. Just need to add: seeing Eren’s hand cut to threaten Reiner and Falco was such a power move, I had chills all over.

Boy howdy this was crazy I’ll tell you what

Holy crap I love isayama. What a genius!



God help me I cannot wait another month

Endgame right here, brothers.

WHAT SIDE CHARACTER MOMENT DID YOU MOST APPRECIATE?

1,720 Responses

The giant red chunk that wins this question is the “All of the Above” option with 26.4% of the vote. “Every character with a partially hidden face” was second with 23.8%. There was plenty of excitement around Trapdoor-kun. He came in third with close to 20% of the vote.



I hope the SnK world has a heaven or some shit, because then Bertolt can maybe be finally happy together with his dad at least ;-;

ANNIE IS ALIVE AND FREE CHAPTER 100 HYYYYYYPE



I love moment with Trapdoor-kun/Connie (I hope it’s him). He promised Reiner in Utgard Castle that he’ll return the favor and I want to see their reunited. Maybe Connie will save Gabi and the other kids in this shitstorm. Please Isayama! Connie needs his personal moment!





ON THE SCALE FROM “FLUFFY KITTEN” TO “ACTUAL PENNYWISE”, HOW CREEPY WAS EREN IN THIS CHAPTER?

1,727 Responses

Eren’s creep factor was strong! More than 70% of us picked a 4 or 5 on the “Actual Pennywise” scale.



Eren is 100% savage. Damn I’d be lying to myself if I said I didn’t like him. His meddling works so well with his bitter ass and his sense of entitlement over making all these fuckers taking his freedom away disappear and get their comeuppance (read: the whole world). Fucking human worms.

Eren using Falco as a hostage makes me cry



Eren gave me fucking chills of fear

I’m loving this Eren alignment shift. Lawful Good boy is changing and I am HERE for this.



Eren’s “Same reason as you” and “I don’t have a choice” are the single most savage moment in the series.

I don’t like Eren at all… Poor Reiner



Eren is frickin INSANE





ON THE SCALE FROM 1 - 420/69, HOW MUCH DID EREN ACTIVATE YOUR HARDENING ABILITIES IN THIS CHAPTER?

1,713 Responses

The creep factor and hobo hair didn’t hurt Eren’s attractiveness for the majority of the fandom since 36.1% would love to be locked in the basement with him right now. The second most popular choice was the extreme opposite. 22.2% selected “ewww no” on the question about Eren’s attractiveness.



why did y'all have to write “Lock me in your basement, Hobo Daddy!”



Protect Reiner Braun You’ve made me have sexual thoughts about long haired Eren, damn you pollster!!!!



Eren made both my jaw and panties fall straight to the floor. It’s finally getting somewhere.

my mom called eren hobo daddy o__O"



Eren being so chilled out and yet so chilling at the same time…how does one being so cold make the room seem a lot hotter than it actually is?!

I want to officially shame Eren for telling Mikasa to cut her hair during training and now he could model for L'Oréal (I love his hair but he is a hypocrite)

EREN FUCKING JAEGER. I want to say he’s cool… but I feel so strangely conflicted. I’m turned on by his loony face but at the same time fucking terrified that it’s all going to crumble. He’d grown so much. I can’t believe the kid that we used to adore has turned into such a beast.

eren would be a 4/5 if he shaved his facial hair imo





WHAT WAS EREN’S MOST CHILLING MOMENT?

1,717 Responses

Again with the “All of the above” as top pick. The most popular write in was “Reiner. Sit”. We clearly made a mistake when we forgot to include that.



Reiner. Sit.

His eyes all the time, they’re like windows to hell



Everything! Eren was so chilling and bad this chapter, I love love loved it!

The fact that he’s still missing a leg, it should’ve grown back, does he just keep cutting it off?

Messing with the head of an already mentally unstable Reiner

Eren did not come to play. Cutting his hand was a power move and then when he said “same as you.” I can’t wait to see him transform into a Titan. Reiner wasn’t ready for this. He looks like he’s gonna pass out.

I never thought i needed psycho!eren and badass!eren in my life. But then i read this chapter and HOOOOOOLY SHIT!





WHICH OF REINER’S TORTURED FACES WAS YOUR FAVORITE?

1,707 Responses

I’m borrowing a quote from a friend who said, “Reiner had enough panels of his sanity crumbling like pie crust to fill a photo album”. We thought so too and had a hard time limiting ourselves to just these six. The look of horror on page 20 was Reiner’s expression as Eren told him, “I’m the same as you. I didn’t have any other choice.” It was the winner with 44.5% of the voice.



Note to Isayama: If you want to torture a character, hands on the face is the way to go (even when those hands are strangely tiny.)



Don’t freak out, Reiner, your buddy Eren has come to save the world just like you’ve always wanted.

I wonder how bad will Reiner’s strabismus be when Eren ultimately touchs the Bertolt and Annie subject.



Someone please protect Reiner D: (and maybe give him a hug)



ISAYAMA STAHP TORTURING REIGNER!

#stopreinerabuse2017 >:)

Reiner is the true victim here man

If Reiner didn’t have a drinking problem before he sure has one now



I really don’t like seeing Reiner looking so scared… It makes me feel so bad and helpless because I can’t do anything. ;-;



I’m expecting Reiner to go full insane next chapter. Seriously, he can only be pushed so far!

I absolutely love Reiner’s suffering faces :D I also loved how shocked Falco was. I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen, that why Eren told him to stay. He wants to save his life. I only wonder what will happen with the other kids.



reiner has baby hands



CAN YOU PINPOINT THE EXACT MOMENT FALCO’S HEART SHATTERED?

1,700 Responses

This was not a fun chapter for our poor little bean. There was no shortage of moments with him looking on with wide-eyed horror as the situation was unfolding. His expression on page 35 was the landslide winner. It’s the moment Falco realized Eren must’ve met Reiner during his time on Paradis.



My boy Falco doesn’t deserve this.

DONT HURT BABBY FALCO

Calm the f down Eren! You’re scaring Falco!

Falco is too precious for this messed up world





WHAT IS RANDO MCSOLDIER WHISPERING TO MADS?

1,709 Responses

We have a poll meme now and don’t think I wont use it! Thank you to the 29.1% of you for playing along. We were a close second. Thank you also to everyone who took the question seriously. One respondent suggested they might be whispering about the fact that all the warriors were missing. I love that thought.



Yes. There’s sour cream in Marley.

For the question of what Rambo McSoldier whispered, I’m actually kinda wondering if he’s whispering about someone being missing from the crowd. (I.e, Reiner.)



how much farther is my sour cream joke going to go

I do NOT trust Eren one bit and we still do NOT know if there’s sour cream. Crazy stuff man.

This wasn’t an option for the question about what the soldier was whispering to Mads, but I thought it had to do with that panel where the guy on the rooftop said to “report it” no matter how small it is. The Marley soldier was relaying that report, whatever it is.

The lack of concern over the disappearance of all the Warriors from the audience is alarming…unless it’s part of their plan, which removing the fighters from the crowd sounds like something inline with what Paradis would be attempting if they’re about to hijack the play.





CHARACTER ALLEGIANCES! WHICH SIDE DO YOU THINK EACH PERSON IS ULTIMATELY SUPPORTING?

So much uncertainty here! We are truly divided over Willy, Zeke and Kiyomi’s loyalties.



I do not think that Zeke would be on Paradis side, he had that chance and discarded it as an idiot.

The Warhammer Titan seems to know so very much about Paradis and the truth (and Eren’s name) that I think it’s no coincidence he looks like an adult long hair Armin.



Willy was such a sweet pie in this chapter. I wish he joined the Team Paradise.



Why did the Asian lady wish Willy good luck and then immediatly got away from the play as fast as she could? The plot thickens…



Everyone need to calm tf down and stop being huge mega douchebags on the whole warriors vs paradis sides of the fandom Ima lose my goddamn mind let yams tell the fucking story. This fandom is killing me far more effectively than yams ever could, crying Reiner or no!

The Asian lady and the rest of the Azumabito definitely know something, as they didn’t stay for Willy’s play, and she said that “she hoped he’d play his role ‘safely’”

What is Willy’s game? With so many important people there, it is setup for a massacre. But, why tell the truth beforehand? There is a part of me thinking that it is all a setup to Willy simply saying we’re all going back to Paradis.





WHAT ALLIANCE DO YOU THINK IS MOST LIKELY?

1,697 Responses

EZ and REZ feelz so strong! A sizable percentage think Kiyomi is also a part of the alliance.



I love/hate how much Isayama plays with us (?).. this is the worst who is with who and why and when and how is it its 99 chapters and i am stiff as confused as when i watched the first anime chapter in 2013…



Yeah, I still believe in Reiner + Zeke + Eren alliance. Grim Reminder won’t happen and I will be a happy, happy fan.“ İt’s amazing!



I think Willy is working with Armin, whereas, Eren is working with Zeke. Isayama did say they were going to split.

I think Zeke is helping Eren for the time being but I also think it is only a temporary alliance. He will double-cross Paradis like he did the Restorationists and Marley before the end, and he will be a sizable end-game threat to both Paradis and Marley.

"Lady” Kiyomi of the Azmabito family seemed like she was teasing Willy before his performance, since he was so nervous. But then, she said “you’re very brave. And you know our family very well”, she seemed like she was threatening Willy



I ABSOLUTELY LOVE CRAZY EREN. I think he’s gonna offer an alliance with Reiner so they can both save the Eldians. I hope the SC will appear next chapter!

I’m willing to bet ‘The Owl’ Eren knew Willy and the Asian chick when he was still living.





WHY WERE PORCO AND PEICK SEPARATED?

1,715 Responses

62% believe Porco and Pieck were captured to keep them from meddling. An even larger majority believe Zeke was in on it. Hmmmm….



about porco and pieck. I think they will be locked somewhere. But not to take their titan. Well, it’s good opportunity to take their titan but… who wants do that anyway? Jean, connie? I think not.



PLEASE SAVE PIECK

“We done fucked up” -peick and porco

My favourite panel is Pieck looking at 'springer, not a shower’ whilst falling into the sin bin. Wow, she’s perfect.

Porko remains oblivious





WAS ZEKE PART OF THE PLOT TO SEPARATE PORCO AND PEICK?

1,701 Responses

That would be a solid “yes”.



Zeke does seem to comply with too much questionable activity to not be working secretly with someone. He doesn’t question being separated from Pieck and Porco, he’s the only one not facing the guard that summons them, he let - encouraged- Reiner to go with Falco right as the ceremony started, and the baseball mitt Eren had likely had something to do with him. The Zekeret is still a wild card though so it makes all this hard to pinpoint.





WHO IS THE SOLDIER THAT TOSSED PORCO AND PIECK INTO THE BALL PIT?

1,691 Responses

Nearly 80% of the fandom thinks Connie is parading around Marley as a very tall Marleyan soldier. The write in responses on this were insane!



A pikupork shipper

Hajime Isayama

The Plothelping Titan



If Pieck knows him, the most probable option is Connie, buuuut… Is he even taller than Porco? He used to be really short, has he grown up?

When I first read the chapter and found similiarities between Connie and the trap-kun soldier I was like “what the fuck?!” And than I thought Connie being that soldier would be absolutely LIT.

I don’t think any of the background characters are people we know. We saw how Isayama does that with Amputee-Kun, he appeared several chapters before the official reveal and there was no doubt once it was done. Trapdoor-kun, Helos Cosplayer, anyone else? Nope. as expected of pieck, she figured out the soldier was an impostor



Personally I really hate how people are making these predictions and analyzing details like chin shape in attempt to recognize him. We simply do not see enough of his face to tell who it is so it’s pointless that people are arguing about it so vehemently. It could be Connie. I could be Levi. It most definitely isn’t Armin. It could be a whole lot of people but right now at least half of the people will be wrong about it so arguing is going to get us nowhere. End of rant.

Zofia from the future, who traveled through paths





DID PIECK PASS A MESSAGE TO THE SOLDIER SHE HUGGED?

1,717 Responses

Yes. As expected.



WHO IS THE HELOS COSPLAYER?

1,703 Responses

Jean trounced this poll question with 64.4% of the vote. “No one important” was second with 18.4%. 8% are hopeful it’s Levi.



A Majestic Stallion

A member of Paradis Team, but it is too early to say who



Jean dressed up as Levi aka the REAL Helos (Deja Vu).



Kenny “The Ripper” Ackerman rides again!

I want the Helos cosplayer to be Hange, but if it’s not, Armin would be interesting.

RIP Gabi and everyone else in the audience. But mostly Gabi.

I’m saying it now - there won’t be another Grim Reminder. It would be the worst possible move to make. However, I can see some sort of staged assault happening.



What if chapter 100 is just an elaborate reenactment of the finale of shrek two where shrek and the gang ambush the castle with a collosal gingerbread man whilst fairy godmother sings. Honestly I would pay good money to see willy start singing 'i need a hero’ with a choir behind him make it happen isayama I believe in you.

I am going to sell my soul for chapter 100

All the pieces are being set in place. It is about to begin. We don’t know for sure what will happen but things are about to get wild. Prepare the feelingstrain cause we’re all hopping aboard





HOW BADLY DO YOU WANT TO RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL CAST ON PARADIS?

1,712 Responses

No matter how great a chapter is, we remain desperate for the original cast. Last month 34.5% select “5” on the poll. This month that number was up to 38.1%.



And gimme some of that paradis crew daddy yamyams ✊️💦✊️💦😩



I’m severely lacking in Ackervitaminz

I’m tired of Marley to be honest. I hope next chapter shakes me, because this chapter didn’t at all.



i still wanna know what the little miserable gremlin man is doing and my badass child Hanji

I loved the Marley chapters, but GOD I NEED MY PARADIS CREW THE SNEAK PEAKS ARE KILLING ME



while I haven’t really been in any rush to return to the main cast, I’ll be really excited to learn that they’ve all infiltrated Marley in this way, and for some final smack down to begin soon.

It’s just a setup chapter I just want my Mikasa fix.



GIVE ME MIKASA AND ARMIN BACK. I MISSED MY BABIES. I WOULD SELL BOTH OF MY KIDNEYS TO SEE THEM WELL AND HAPPY AGAIN. JUST GIVE ME THAT WISH ON CHAPTER 100 ISAYAMA. AM I ASKING TOO MUCH?





WHICH CHARACTERS DO YOU GENERALLY ENJOY THE MOST

1,717 Responses

Cries forever for my vets.

Nearly 100 chapters in and I feel like I’m losing my damn mind. Oof. Isayama…amazing. PS: I will continue to select 'The Vets’ even long after The Vets are gone!!!

WHERE DO YOU PRIMARILY DISCUSS THE SERIES

1,695 Responses

Last month this question was 40% Tumblr and 48% Reddit. This month Reddit was most active on the poll with 56.8% of the responses. The other platforms remained consistent.



“Where do you primarily discuss the series” giving 4chan the silent treatment? Although I guess what they do doesn’t really count as discussing.





ANY OTHER CHAPTER THOUGHTS YOU’D LIKE TO SHARE?

We had 360 write-in responses and some were essay sized in length! Thank you all for your enthusiasm! Here’s a portion of the comments.





EXTRA DANCC



It’s about to be lit fam

NERD-SQUAD TO THE RESCUE! Nothing but goosebumps for that entire chapter thankyou.



If Helos is actually a lie created by Marley and Tybur, then was the devil of all the earth a lie too? Or did it exist in reality? Will it return? And how the hell could Tybur know of Kenny and Uri sitting in front of that lake? Does he have some spies on Paradis? All this stuff is just becoming more and more fishy…

I want everyone to die.

Is it just me or did Reiner lose weight? Not aroused. Isayama sensei please try harder.

Pieck grabbing Zophia’s shoulders. 100%. A+. As expected.



Okay, so, we’ve been speculating like mad on how Eren arrived in Marley. Reiner asked the same thing. And Isayama, through Eren’s words, answered us: “is that really what you want to ask first?” LIKE DAMN, at this point I’m sure Isayama reads our blogs. At least he answered the “Why”, kinda…



for god sake. reiner’s suffering have to stop TTTTT-TTTTT

Bertl deserve this world.

Isayama has officially changed his icon to Reiner. Protagonist confirmed. It was Reiner’s story all along. We were just along for the ride. The very traumatic ride.

I love the parallel between Reiner and that old man that hanged himself back in Paradis. I’m quite sure that Reiner, like the hanged-man, is looking for judgement. Cool to see how Bert nightmares played a big role in the end.

sc stans are insane I wonder how bad will Reiner’s strabismus be when Eren ultimately touchs the Bertolt and Annie subject.

needs more porco

Is Eren gonna sacrifice himself for the sake of saving the world as a scapegoat? Will his death be the only meaningful one in the whole series??



I hope to God Armin has a different haircut.

Learning that we’re getting ova of Lost Girls and reading this chapter was the best way to start my week. I love you I wish Isayama hadn’t made Reiner so hot. Too hard to focus on everything else going on =\



if reiner wants to get judged maybe he should look to judge judy for judgement, that’d be lit



I love my shifter kids, but they’re fucked.

I don’t personally think there will be a Grim reminder 2.0, Paradis people, ie Armin, Hanji and all, usually don’t fight fire with more fire, they plan better shenanigans. Also, how they would be considered better than marleyans if they did the same stuff? They won’t play this low, they also know that Grim reminder™️ Is everything but effective.



Isayama why it’s great that we have all those informative, descriptive chapters but something need to happen. I hope that next chapter will be full of action.

SHOW ME MIKASA AND LET HER AND EREN BE MARRIED. And let annie be alive and well and dont make reiner any sadder. #chap100 No



Soldier, who are you? Willy, what are you really trying say? Eren, will you start causing some trouble? Levi, come out!“ AAAAAAAAAAAaa!!!!

Pieck was actually exactly right! I always loved her design and oppressed but trying her best herb merchant aesthetic. So cool that she saved the lives of Reiner and Zeke, her influence on character relationships and the plot.

In RtS I wanted Reiner dead. Half to end his suffering, half to be vindicated for the things he’d done, but I guess it was Berty Beetle’s turn.

I miss Levi so much, it’s been such a long time since we’ve seen him and all I want is for him to keep his promise to Erwin and obliterate Zeke. I can see him now, sitting with his arms crossed as Zeke enters the room. "Been a while, you piece of shit. Not so tough now when you’re not ripping a bunch of people in half with rocks, eh?” He cracks his knuckles. "I will destroy you. I will make it hurt. Because you killed Erwin Smith and I promised him, I *promised him* that I would end this fight for him.“ Ahhhh please Isayama. <3

CHAOS FOR THE CHAOS GOD The slow build has been so worth it, we’re all going to hell and I can’t wait

Annie is alive. That shouldn’t be a point of discussion anymore,

Please make my children happy, they suffered enough



I really think Jean is the Helos cosplayer because of face/mouth shape. That might be wishful thinking though :’) Also DAMN EREN REALLY IS HOBO DADDY

ISAYAMA CAN YOU PLEASE DRAW BERTL FAMILY OR PHOTO OF HOOVER HOUSE OR WHAT SO I CAN REST IN PEACE I WANNA BERTL AGAIN I DONT CARE WITH OTHERS

I just want to say that the chapter 99 pre release megathread on /r/ShingekiNoKyojin was one of the best things to ever happen, and i’m proud to be a part of it.



Now i just want to see jean What if we’re all just too hopeful and in reality the helos cosplayer and trapdoor-kun are just normal people. If Annie isn’t coming back I’m rioting honestly. Also where TF is mikasa?!

I LOVE PIECK SO MUCH she is becoming one of my fave characters. Also hopefully nothing happens to cause Reiner’s mental state to become worse than it is right now. CAN’T WAIT FOR NEXT CHAPTER I think the Asian woman is Mikasa. My evidence to support this claim is that after she talked to Willy, she said ‘let’s go’ to her body guards. As if she knows what’s going on.



Seeing Pieck being smart and quick-witted made me like her even more. I’d be very sad if she ends up being killed or if Porco and her never truly meet the original main cast. Give us those warriors/soldiers interactions Isayama.



Annie…please…it has been too long now…

Regarding Eren he ackwonledged that Reiner and co. were just clueless kids trying to save the world when they destroyed the Wall. And he is stating that he as well has been forced in this role. I think he is trying to bring Reiner to his side as well as to remove a Warrior (and Falco) from the stage where things will soon go wild.

This shit was lit lit lit!!! I need war!

If the marley arc was a dubstep song, this chapter was the part where the song builds up in speed and frequency and ends right before it levels off and the beat subsequently drops. Ya feel? Warriors, come out to plaaaaay.



IMO PIECK IS ON EREN’S SIDE AND SHE ACTED IN FRONT OF PORCO



I want to know who works with who (especially ZEKE), how they arrived in Marley, I want the SC but also I really love the Warriors, asdfghjkl I really don’t know what to expect but I love the way Isayama keeps us on this subtle line between ”“OMG”“ and ”“WTF MAN”“. I want some answers! AND I DEFINITELY WANT ANNIE BACK



I hope Sasha is in Marley too. She needs pizza.

Too few panels of Marco’s death. 😠

i miss zeke memes

PATHS



I love the art in the recent chapters. I will forgive slow pacing for good art.

Karina is a bitch

Isayama give Reiner a break or kill him already, end the suffering pls



And lastly, the Rick and Morty copypasta meme made it’s way into our poll. I laughed!



To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Attack on Titan. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Eren’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Attack on Titan truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Zeke’s existential catchphrase "As expected of Pieck 👉😶👉,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Hajime Isayama’s genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools… how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Reiner and Historia tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

Thank you also to those left nice comments about the poll. We appreciate it!
