RATE THE CHAPTER

2,204 Responses

Chapter 101 is the highest ranked chapter since we starting the poll with almost 80% of respondents ranking it 5. Our previous best was ch99 with 69% giving it the top mark.



Holy shit Eren. I didn’t think he’d actually go for Grim Reminder 2: Electric Boogaloo.



The greatest Human-Titan War in history has begun. Let the fun - cough - I mean carnage begin. Greatness awaits!



101% best SnK chapter yet



The world is burning but here is Eren puting Willies down his throat infront of little children.



This chapter was snk in a nutshell:fucking cool titans fights, sad deaths of innocents and cuties and badass survey corps. Loved it

This chapter was such a change of pace it felt like someone sucker punched me in the head and shoved gasoline down my throat and my own body heat ignited it.



The story is propelling in unknown territory as of now and this is something I personally enjoy very much. Till the Basement reveal reaching there was the goal, but now we don’t know were we are going and it’s exciting for me.



When this chapter came out I shrieked so much people thought there was a cockroach in my room. MIKASA MY DAUGHTER I’M SO PROUD OF YOU.



It was an ABSOLUTE pleasure to see Mikasa and Jean again after 11 MONTHS OF NO SC ACTION. It was well worth the wait! Cannot wait to see where all of this goes!!!

Annie lend me your crystal so i can hibernate till february





LET’S START OFF WITH THE SADS…. WHAT WAS THE WORST MOMENT FROM CHAPTER 101?

2,193 Responses

I don’t know if we can call this a win, but Udo received the bulk of the sads. 48.2% picked his death as the most horrible moment. The write in comments support this. Udo was mentioned 25 times compared to Zophia with only six.



ZOOOOPHIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA :’(



Man, fuck Ambassador Ogweno, I liked Udo.



Poor Zophia and Udo. I never even realized how I cared about these new kid-characters until 2/3 of them were gone…. in this-one-chapter.

Give Udo back. Have him eat some Shifter or something. Just… give him back.



It was nice to see that Colt is not cannon fodder after all

i nearly cried when mikasa appeared holy shit man but isayama you monster…that eldian devil killed poor zofia…i hope zeke throws a rock at isayama for revenge





WHAT WAS THE BEST MOMENT?

2,229 Responses

While “The Survey Corps soldiers appearing overhead” was the winner, I was super happy to see Mikasa squeak out the number two spot over Eren’s “It’s time, Mikasa”

can I get an “all of the above”?



Mads’ unimpressed face at meeting his fate in form of a stagediving titan and probably thinking of what an anticlimactic epitaph it will make



Mikasa Ackerman to the Warhammer Titan: BEGONE THOT!



Too many things to pick only 1! The fight, warhammer Titan, Pieck and porco fight, Mikasa, Jean, SC



I loved how confused Porco is about everything. I know partially it’s done to make Pieck look smarter, but boy you need to step up your game!!! also Jaw/Cart vs Attack when?



Playing hide and Zeke



its a small moment, but seeing eren erupt from the attack titan and silently glare at WHT-chan was really badass for me



Erwin winning the popularity poll



Previously Colt had been fairly irrelevant as a character but I really liked how he protected Gabi and Udo in the chapter. Of course, nothing can top Mikasa making her triumphant return in the stylish edgy new uniform but Colt desperately needed some development and this was a small moment that gives some new life to his character.





BE HONEST… DID YOU SUSPECT THAT LADY TYBUR WAS THE WAR HAMMER?

2,228 Responses

The number of people who called it was so small that the number doesn’t appear on the chart. Only 6.6% made that claim. The bulk of respondents had no idea.



When we were first introduced to the Tyburs and willy asked which one i thought it was, i immediately pointed at the maid.



Warhammer Titan best maid. Kudos to the ones calling it out.

I heard so many awesome theories about Magath or even the Ackermann family being the owners, but on the end it was a…. random person.





BRAGGING RIGHTS! WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING DID YOU CORRECTLY PREDICT?

2,179 Responses

And the chance for everyone to say, I knew it! A majority 60% of responders correctly predicted Willy’s death, though in the poll for 100 we had 75.6% believing this. In 2nd came Pieck passing a message to her Panzer squad, and 3rd the Scouting Legion making a return.



I didn’t think Zofia and Udo were going to die, let’s hope Eren has a good reason to do what he did killing innocents… I’m against it.

I knew the sc had to appear sooner or later! But i need to see their faces!! Zophia getting crushed like that crushed my heart, and Udo just made me tear up 😥 I haven’t seen Levi in a year, i think?? So please show him already!!!!

I want ready for just what would happen. I had a feeling it’d be rough, but it always hurts when kids are involved.



I bet Isayama is drinking sake and browsing the internet for the snk news, laughing beautifully at our meta and dunbfoundness





ON A SCALE FROM “MEH” TO *INSERT EPIC SAWANO TRACK YOUSEEBIGGIRL*, WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE WAR HAMMER’S DESIGN?

2,202 Responses

The WHT deserves its own Sawano song tbh

Misspelling a Sawano track title is unforgivable. 1/10 poll



I thought the Warhammer Titan looked a little like Femto from Berserk xoxoxo



Warhammer Titaness slays



I’m meh about the War Hammer design, looks like something out of Bleach.



I’m not entirely sure why but the war hammer Titan kind of looks like something I’d see in blood-c…. like one of those elderbairns or something

i’d date the warhammer titan dude seriously



I was not a fan of the warhammer titan design. I thought it was underwhelming and, honestly, kind of stupid. That said, its abilities were cool.





WHICH ASPECT OF THE WAR HAMMER IS YOUR FAVORITE?

2,200 Responses

“All of the above” was the most common reply, but those who selected a single option chose the executioner’s mask as top pick followed by her ability to create spikes and spires.



Warhammer looks cool as hell 😭😭😭 it looks so different from other shifters?? And it looks creepy with its slender figure??



the Warhammer Titan is so cool. I wanna see more of her, but I also don’t wanna see her kill any of the 104th. It’s complicated.

The War Hammer hype was definitely worth it.

Regarding the Warhammer’s design, I expected everything and I’m still not disappointed.





IS UDO STILL ALIVE?

2,212 Responses

I have no excuse for this poll question. None. RIP Udo 😢



I’m about to RIOT if Udo is Dead For Real, he was starting to fill the Bertholdt-shaped hole in my heart. :’(

Udo has a pizza slice shaped chunk missing from his head.



I’m willing to believe that Udo isn’t completely dead. Perhaps he could be saved with a titan serum and a certain suicidal titan shifter being willing to give his life to save at least one person from death. However, that suicidal titan shifter may have to make a choice between saving Udo and Falco, who also has been critically injured…



I think Udo is still alive



Yo can Udo please live?? Like??? Bertholdt is already dead let me enjoy at least one of these shy babies???????????? I’m not crying???? I just want Bertholdt back





IS LADY TYBER STILL ALIVE?

2,202 Responses

83.8% expect that Lady Tybur is alive which I suppose means of one of three things: 1. She’ll regenerate and the battle will continue, 2. She’ll say a few words and/or escape or maybe 3. We’ll get to see Eren eat her.



If mikasa really subjugated the war hammer titan like that… just… wow. That would be super lame tbh



I believe the WHT is dead because Mikasa hit her nape pretty hard + we got absolutely no back story of Willy’s sister.



It’d be pretty bad if Lady Tybur does bcus then the Warhammer Titan would go to some Eldian baby and that would uuuuuhhh not be good for promoting a long life for them.





ON A SCALE FROM *BORED SHRUG* TO “OMG!! OMG!! OMG!! OMG!!” HOW EXCITED WERE YOU TO SEE MIKASA?

2,220 Responses

Excitement was high! 85% gave the return of Mikasa Ackerman a 4 or 5 on the “OMG!!” scale. In the write in comments, she was mentioned 78 times.

844 Mikasa: Pretty // 854 Mikasa: Bitchin’



I thought I was going to get a trailer of the new season around Christmas like last year, but I got something better: Mikasa Ackerman



Can Mikasa’s line be “Eren, please come home. Our daughter needs you.”?



*Arise from ashes and kiss my daughter on her cheek* I love Mikasa. I’m back to this series for her.



Booooiii Mikasa was, is and will be my all. I was almost selling my soul to see her and Ive been blessed



i wasn’t really shocked or wowed when mikasa appeared, her new style was meh in my opinion: the whole fandom basically called her having short haired anyways so it wasn’t anything new. I mean don’t get me wrong, it was nice, but it wasn’t oh WOW.



While Mikasa was never really a favorite of mine, I admit I really enjoyed her reintroduction back into the story. Her exchange with Eren speaks volumes of what may have transpired in the time skip. Can’t wait to see how muddy the plot will turn out to be when Armin shows up again



Can queenkasa please slay me with her 8 thunder spears, i‘d be very thankful.



I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE MY DAUGHTER AGAIN AND SHE’S BEAUTIFUL





WE ONLY GOT A GLIMPSE OF THE SC, BUT A FEW THINGS HAVE CHANGED. WHAT DID YOU LIKE BEST?

2,217 Responses

Forget the new uniform design - the real news here is that Jean’s beard beat out Mikasa’s short hair by 1.1%. He got 8.4% of the vote while she received only 7.3%. I am shook!



Short hair girl is best girl <3

I’m not particularly a fan of Mikasa but her new style and the new uniforms are awesomeee :3

I honestly flipped the fuck out when I saw my main man Jean. He looks amazing!



It seems like a lot of the 104th guys have beards now. Heck I’m hoping for Armin with a beard. Isayama please give my lil’ cinnamon roll a long and sagely beard and allow me to laugh to death



It’s been five days since I read the chapter and I’m still screaming about Jean.

praise the lord, Jean has stupid facial hair. It was all I ever wanted.





LAST MONTH 87% OF YOU THOUGHT EREN WAS WORKING WITH THE PARADISIANS AND NOT ALONE. IF YOU WERE IN THAT GROUP, DID HIS CONVERSATION WITH MIKASA CHANGE YOUR MIND?

2,030 Responses

This question was probably a little confusing but I was looking for a way to gauge the effect that Mikasa’s four words had on our perception of Eren’s activity. It looks like the impact was profound. Mikasa’s words made 45% of respondents think again.



As I’ve been saying many chapters before, Eren still behaves on his own, just doing what his father would have done, even if he somehow understands Reiner. I don’t think that the SC members trust him, just watch Mikasa being like “"Eren, please, stop”“. This Eren is really different than the guy that wanted to protect Historia (it seemed one of his priorities), or asked Armin for advice.



I believed he had some master plan but he didn’t. Mikasa had to save his ass again. If she wasn’t there, he would has been killed.



If anything his short conversation with Mikasa only raised more questions for me. I believe next chapter there will be a flashback to Paradis so hopefully we will finally shed some light on what exactly happened during the time skip. If it’s not a flashback then maybe it will start righ off the bat with Levi and Zeke? lol that would be great as well

Mikasa seemed so done with Eren shit at the end of the chapter…

Mikasa was so sad, Eren what the fuck did you do, you idiot?! Anyone who thinks that Eren wasn’t working with the SC the whole time is ridiculously wrong





WHAT BEST MATCHES YOUR THOUGHTS ON EREN’S ATTACK AT THE THEATER?

2,196 Responses

tbh I’m a little surprised this is so high. A whopping 77.1% believe that Eren was the mastermind of the attack at the theater. Only 18.3% believe he was following Survey Corps orders.



The words "Eren” and “plan” are not really two things that go together. But jokes aside he was acting solo but was assuming/expecting them to back him up, not hoping in my opinion.



He sounded surprised/relieved they arrived. Mikasa looked and sounded tired af, making a request for him to “come home” in the middle of a massacre.



he was working with a few others, not the entire SC



He made the choice to attack on his own and forced everyone’s hand into supporting him.

Eren’s still mah boi. I trust and support him 100%.



He obviously coordinated with the Survey Corps, but used his position as the holder of the Founding Titan to force them to cooperate



He diverged from whatever the actual plan was when he attacked Willy and the generals, but this attack was staged well given that we see Jean pulling a Kenny



Eren can control them to a certain degree since he has the founding titans power, there is no way “do it now mikasa” would reach her ears (“outside badass manga move” land)



Originally planned by Eren and Zeke, Survey Corps later agreed to participate





DO YOU THINK AN EREN/ARMIN SPLIT HAS HAPPENED DURING THE TIMESKIP?

2,208 Responses

Another close one with the Yes’s edging out the No’s. A slight majority of respondents believe Eren and Armin have had a spit.



After this chapter I’m extremely confident that the Eren/Armin split occurred during the timeskip. Is Armin the new SC commander, perhaps?

There’s no chance in hell that there has been a disagreement between Eren and Armin. First of all, that theory is based on a mistranslated and misinterpreted quote from Isayama. They don’t disagree on a goal, only on their dreams, as evidenced by Eren not being happy about reaching the ocean, unlike Armin. Second of all, they both need each others for their goals to be fulfilled and they know this fact well.



Im really worried about the Armin and Eren split, Mikasa’s “"Eren, please come back”“ gives us so many hints and implications



I’m, like, rather sure that Armin is not on the continent, simply because the island would need one titan to stand guard, just in case. Seeing Mikasa’s words though, it does seem like some kind of change could have occured between Armin and Eren, but even so I doubt that it will be completely different because such an important change in their dynamic can’t exactly be 100% offscreened or it loses its impact.



Unpopular opinion: Im look forward to separation between Eren and Armin. I think it will be interesting!





WHICH STATEMENT MOST CLOSELY MATCHES YOUR EXPECTATION FOR CHAPTER 102?

2,211 Responses

60% believe the action will stay in Marley with either a continuation of the battle or a focus on the Marleyan characters who were missing this month. Since this chapter closes the volume, I tend to agree. Almost 25% thought this would be the right time for a flashback to Paradis.



About next chapter it could really be anything at all, but honestly anything would be good, I’m excited about the fight just as I am for some juicy flashbacks and/or other characters focuses



Arghh I can’t believe I have to wait another month to find out what happened to Reiner and Falco…I don’t know whether to keep my hopes up for their survival



if armin has facial hair im dropping this entire series



For chapter 102, I kinda hope that Eren gets back in his titan, regrows his head, and eats the warhammer titan just so he can be the wack-a-mole champion.



We’d better see Reiner and Falco alive next chapter or I’ll cut a bitch. Also, if there’s no Annie, I’ll probably lose all hope of seeing her.

There seems to be a pause in the action, we’re definitely shifting away from the fight at least for a little while next chapter. I’m almost hoping for more info about what happened during the timeskip, but I know that won’t happen. At best, a few expositional lines could be thrown out by other SC members if they’re revealed next chapter but nothing too significant. I want Annie back but I highly doubt that too.



no more kids dying and Jean shaves that beard.





OF THE CHARACTERS WE DIDN’T SEE IN THIS CHAPTER, WHO ARE YOU MOST HOPEFUL TO SEE IN 102?

2,222 Responses

Our top five are Levi (29.3%), Armin (23.4%), Annie (13.7%), Reiner (11.1%) and Zeke (8.8%). On the other end of the scale are Historia (1.9%), Sasha (1.7%) Connie (0.9%) and Miss Kiyomi with (0.8%).



Where is Reiner and when will his suffering end???? WHERE’S ANNIE??? Is there sour cream in Marley???



I haven’t seen Levi in a year, i think?? So please show him already!!!!



Pls I’m growing old waiting for Annie. Every chapter I’m brainstorming a new way she’ll be connected

pls isayama give me levi already

YES JEANBO!!! WHERE’S ANNIE!!!???



WHERE IS LEVI? THESE QUESTIONS DO NOT CONVEY MY DESIRE FOR LEVI.



WHERE IS ARMIN??! I DEMAND TO TO SEE ARMIN - preferably with a ponytail - BUT /ANY/ ARMIN WILL DO! I just want to know he’s ok :‹

It was really good but I wanna see more of that Marcel guy





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

2,218 Responses

Seeing Mikasa and Jean only fueled our desire to see the rest of the Survey Corps. The number of people selecting 5 are at an all new high.



The Vets are my number ones and also this was the first time I voted a full 5 on "sell my soul to see the SC”…seeing a glimpse of Mikasa and Jean after the time skip set my soul on fire!! I’m SO pumped!





WHICH CHARACTERS DO YOU GENERALLY ENJOY THE MOST

2,218 Responses

The 104th fans are back in force for this chapter with the return of Mikasa and Jean - Chapter 99 had 45% favoring the 104th, while 100 had only 44%. Once again, rip vets. They are a dying breed I suppose.

Quiet a pacy chapter. LOVED warhammer’s design. My unconditional love for both Colt and Piek increased 1000% which I didn’t think was possible. Eren continues to be thoughtless about the effect of his actions on those around him. Evidently killing innocents isn’t a big deal to him, which I was disappointed by. Excited to see more SC members in upcoming chapters especially my favourite the Vets. (Still miss Erwin though. I feel like there could have been a better way to do things, and he’s the only one who could have achieved that.)



Has Pieck ever been wrong?



I admit. I was just sitting there admireing the fact that the Attack titan somehow got sexier. As a serious answer, Eren seems to have complete and total control of his titan. Looking over it again, every move he made seemed extrodinarily caculated.



Isayama basically ruined the premise of this story with the timeskip. He basically changed a mystery for another mystery when we found out that humanity was never close to extinction. He’s clearly rushing to end this story as soon as possible. Not to mention that this timeskip introduced to an Eren that we got to see develop into a strategic, intelligent badass. He basically said, “this is character development. I’m not totally rewriting the character.”



I’m kinda disappointed the “Jean is disguised as the hero in the play” theory went no where. NOW I NEED TO SEE MY SON ARMIN AND ISAYAMA FOR THE LOVE OF GOD IF U GIVE ARMIN FACIAL HAIR I-



Other than “where’s Levi”…I really miss the old team. Part of the lesson of AoT is empathy in times of war, so panning to the “enemy” is part of that journey in the lesson Isayama is trying to convey. I think anyway. I expect a lot of guilt-ridden faces in the next few chapters. Eren has become what Berholt and Reiner were when they crashed the piece of the wall onto his home in Shinshigana.

Eren, come home to me already.

If Titan Eren had sung “I came in like a wrecking ball”, it wouldn’t have been out of place. If he’d been yelling “Destroy, Destroy, Destroy, bwa ha ha haaaa”, that also would not have been out of place!

i want chapter 102 to be zeke and only zeke, zeke transforming, zeke taking a bath, zeke doing a radio broadcast….

Honestly never expected this to happen even though it was something I wanted to happen ever since I saw the post-basement timeskip. Kind of strange to have something deliver so completely, at least imo. Hope this trend continues

Beautiful. Brutal. EREN.

Dear Reiner, please die with some form of happiness in your heart. Sincerely, the Walls

Eren’s development compared to his previous battles starting chapter 4. He controls his powers perfectly, spends no time screaming about revenge (ignores the shounen rule of letting opponents transform), trusts his teammates and follows a specific objective probably in the plan instead of just flailing around. Mikasa showing up.

Attack Titan influence

I pray to my shrine to Isayama every day that Reiner will be alive. 🙏

Eren what the fuck ? Also where is Levi, is he okay ? Same for Hanji ?

I’m trying not to make any judgements about the characters until we have more info, so I’m looking forward to seeing what’s actually going on with our walldians.

Typical loose cannon Eren attack, can’t wait for his deus ex machina, I mean Mikasa, to come save him OH LOOK THERE SHE IS who could have predicted such an event?

Shingeki no Kyojin is the only Japanese comic I read, but it is super satisfying. I don’t like “little boy powers up to protect his friends” anime/manga, but SnK does it right.

If the four titan shifters of marley were there to interfere with Eren, theres a high chance of them getting killed (bcuz duh survey corps). Anyway I think that they of were led away from the festival for plot’s sake. They will either team up with Eren, or we will be seeing a bloody civil war between the titans once more. That is why I also think that Reiner, Zeke, Pieck and Porco might probably be around for a while and be “safe” atm. (Oh how i wish)

104th all grown up!!! Show my Connie’s mullet

Someone need to animate this chapter with the Spacejam soundtrack timing “c'mon and slam” every time eren gets hammered

After Eren said do it now, I thought I saw a flash in the next panel and totally expected the female titan to appear “instead” of Mikasa. I think that would’ve been a great way of revealing Annie’s fate.

How long it will take Isayama to draw these uniforms on every panel?

Eren’s actions were justified. Marley was going to attack Paradis, so it would be really stupid if they all just sat there on their island waiting for Marley to come and wreck them. The most strategic action to do is to attack first. And it’s not like he attacked before war was declared. He intentionally attacked AFTER Willy declared war and everyone cheered and agreed with him. So it’s all fair game.

I’m still trying to figure what was so special about Willy. His sister was all like “You are a great Tybur” and I’m not sure why.

i noticed that there were some that were criticizing Eren for his attack on the plaza. Well for me, what he did wasn’t even close enough from what annie, bertholt and reiner had done. He was there exactly because of them trampling all over the paradis island.

After like 10 chapters of Reiner suffering, I honestly couldn’t stop screaming during this one. The combination of the unexpected chapter release and the sheer fucking awesomeness of the action makes this chapter the #1 of all time in my book.

Pieck also was pretty cool while giving orders to warriors. I like how self confident and serious she can be. Maybe she is not the prettiest girl on the world but it doesn’t stop her from being brave, strong and loved.

Among all my emotions this chapter (absolutely loving the WHT, heartbroken for Zophia and Udo), I hope Eren’s rampage finally breaks Reiner and he puts Eren in his place. Eren, just like his defenders, still (somehow) need a serious wake-up call.

Annie’s father running in a different path from the crowd along with Reiner’s mother make me think he might be up to something. He could b potentially be a member of the Eldia Restorationists. But who know ;)

Another Ackerman deus ex machina, how disappointing; now taking bets on if Armin will show up in the next chapter to save Eren instead

can i just say, this was one of if not the most badass SNK chapters ive ever read. Id like to thank Isayama and the SCNK community for contributing into this chapter (though we lost SCNK men along the way, never forgetti). Also im so stoked to see armin and the colossal titan once again. if the series goes too long without the CT or their inheritor, it almost feels a bit stale. Also armin is the lelouch of this series now and thats always a plus (maybe thats why he and eren split, they each tried to out-lelouch the other)

Every single character that I love, DIES. I’m so sad for Willy and very worried for Captain Magath and my sweet little Zeke :ccc

If Magath dies in the next chapter, I will be severely disappointed. This arc has been pretty great so far, so I’m hoping it will only keep getting better. Magath’s death would basically kill the only “real” face of the Marley. That’d be incredibly disappointing for me.

I’ve been seeing people compare Eren’s action to Erwin’s and let me say that while yes they’re both ruthless af sometimes, Erwin has everything planned and is willing to sacrifice everything (even his own dream remember ch. 84?) while Eren would prob ignore the plan to protect one of his friends (if he hasn’t matured that much since the timeskip) or do something reckless which tbh I feel like he already did. Mikasa made it seem like he’s wrecking havoc.

I think its a nice way to introduce the old cast again and gives way to meshing stories from both sides in order to present the whole of the story. I do think though that this chapter presents a scenario that gives the impression that the story still has quite a bit left because it creates a new problem entirely instead of heading towards closure of an old problem but then it’s still to early to know exactly what the people from Paradise have in mind. It’s one of those chapters that presents a big event that can lead to many different outcomes thus creating many questions.
