Awesome, 10/10 and a magnificent ending to the season

Eep

Not very satisfying. I would have preferred a cliffhanger

I just wish it was longer because I’m a fiend 😂 thanks for doing this

This episode gave me more goosebumps than any other AoT episode!

Amazing Episode

It was extremely depressing, but excellent.

very good

LOVED IT

It was heartbreaking, yet satisfying



WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING WAS THE MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT?

180 Responses

The most anticipated destination in the series played some unforgettable moments. 35.6% of participants thought Eren’s dismal speech while looking across the sea was among the most memorable moment. 16.7% preferred seeing the Survey Corps’ first sight of the ocean, and 13.3% most enjoyed seeing Armin and Mikasa smiling together on the shore.





DID PIXIS AND HISTORIA MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION BY CHOOSING TO REVEAL THE TRUTH TO THE PUBLIC?

178 Responses

Pixis and Historia decided to share the truth of the world to the public. A majority 92.1% of participants thought that the decision to be honest was the right call, while 5.1% aren’t quite sure.



The decision to reveal the truth was correct, but it should have been done gradually. Too quick creates tension and disbelief, not at all creates more distrust as something is obviously being hidden



WHO DO YOU THINK WROTE THE “INTENTS FOR THE FUTURE” EXCERPT IN THE EYE CATCH?

173 Responses

The mid-episode info card showed an anonymous entry about “Intents for the Future” after learning about the truth beyond the walls. 37% believe Armin is the author, whereas 16.8% think it is Hange and 15% believe it is Historia’s writing.

Aren’t “Intent For the Future” written by Grisha in his diaries ?



WHAT WOULD YOU DO FIRST IF YOU’VE NEVER SEEN OR KNEW ABOUT THE OCEAN BEFORE?

176 Responses

If there was no knowledge of the ocean up until now, upon encountering the large body of water, 50% of participants say they would first slowly dip their feet in. 20.5% would observe from afar, and a tie of 9.1% would splash their friends or contemplate the meaning of life.





WHOSE INITIAL REACTION TO THE SEA WAS YOUR FAVORITE?

180 Responses

There were varying reactions from the Survey Corps’ first encounter with the ocean. 26.7% were enamored by Armin’s reaction to his dream come true, while 25% of participants favored Mikasa’s playful reaction. 18.3% enjoyed Levi’s more cautious approach to the sea.





WAS FLOCH RIGHT IN CHASTISING THE 104TH (AND BY EXTENSION, LEVI)?

178 Responses

Floch had called out the 104th for their actions during the SerumBowl. 51.7% of participants believed Floch was right to speak up but maybe not so harshly. 23% thought Floch was out of line with his accusations, while 19.1% supported what he had to say.

In his context it was right

What he said has merit, but I feel like him shitting on Armin even though it was Levi’s decision made him look cowardly, like he doesn’t have the guts to say the stuff he said about Armin to Levi

This guy does very little in the one battle he’s in and acts like he’s some war veteran. They tell the scouts in recruitment that most will die and then he gets surprised and upset in his first battle when most die. The other characters have been through this multiple times now, he really doesn’t have the right to be acting so angry. Like Hange says, she has hundreds she’d like to get back. Maybe it should or shouldn’t have been Erwin, but he’s the lowest on the totem pole for who gets the right to say one way or another and is acting way too high and mighty

He was right from his perspective, but again he really knows little about them.

Yeah, I do think he was in the right for voicing his opinions but he definitely chose the wrong time and place to do so

No, his arguments were invalid since whoever who was going to make that decision was going to be influenced by their emotions because they are humans

Floch is a bitch

Floch is the Simon Cowell of the Survey Corps. He’s got a personality where he’ll speak his mind no matter what. Personally I think he was right to express his thoughts but I didn’t agree with him on some points and it was at an inappropriate time

No, saving Erwin would have been the wrong choice

He was right in chastising the 104th, not Levi

What he said was wholly correct, but reductionist. The value that Erwin brought was iron will, devious planning, and plenty of experience. Armin has demonstrated powerful will on his own, is a genius in his own right, and lacks experience. Armin has the potential to grow into a better strategist than Erwin could be, as experience is not an insurmountable obstacle, and it isn’t like he has none whatsoever. While yes, saving Erwin would be better for the immediate future, saving Armin would be better in the long run, as he is the better strategist. Floch oversimplified the issue, and Levi’s decision was the right one for the wrong reason



DO YOU THINK EREN HAS MATURED OVER THE COURSE OF THE SERIES?

180 Responses

Our main character has gone through a lot of developments since he was first introduced. A majority 76.7% believe Eren has matured into a less naïve and impulsive person. 20% of participants think Eren has grown but has not matured past his original ideals.

Eren’s development has been amazing. The best example is by the second episode he promises to kill every last Titan while in this episode he walks past one leaving it in peace. That sums his change up perfectly

No, I think he’s naive because he immediately believed Rod Reiss and his views change rapidly depending on the memories

Yes, he was very quick to react and not only would he react quickly he would react in extreme ways (kill EVERYONE). Whether or not he has the same kind of goals (kill everyone) he certainly isn’t so quick to react anymore, just look at him by the sea, calm. Calm or going insane I’m not sure yet

He has changed some views after all that he’s learned, but still seems pretty impulsive and like he hasn’t matured much emotionally

I don’t think he has assimilated the situation quite right as he is now somewhat depressive, even more than in “the night before retaking wall maria” when the scout recruits tell them they looked different



DID THE MOMENT THAT THE CHARACTERS FINALLY SEE THE OCEAN MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS?

179 Responses

The moment the characters have been waiting for has finally come. 36.3% of participants report that the moment exceeded their expectations, while 29.1% said it went differently than they expected but still enjoyed it regardless. 23.5% said the moment evenly met their expectations.

Eren’s such a buzzkill

It was both heartwarming and sad to know that they have achieved what they set out to do but seeing a shell of the Eren we used to know sure us disheartening



EREN IS SHOWN AT A DISTANCE FROM HIS FRIENDS AS HE SORROWFULLY LOOKS ACROSS THE SEA. DO YOU THINK THIS INDICATIVE OF FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS BETWEEN THE TRIO?

180 Responses

Eren’s sorrowful gaze and distance from his friends sparked some theories about the future of his friendship between the trio. 55% of participants believe this indicates Eren will start to move away from his friends as time progresses, whereas 32.8% believe Eren may “leave them behind” as usual but they will always manage to reunite. 9.4% expect the three will remain close no matter the obstacle.

Yes and no. I feel like he will start to distance himself more to contemplate his life and what he had learned but will still hang around his friends even if their bond isn’t as good as it was earlier on

Been spoiled on this lol



HOW DO YOU READ EREN’S WORDS “IF WE DESTROY THE ENEMY WILL WE FINALLY BE FREE?”

180 Responses

There have been a few interpretations of Eren’s closing words of the season. 42.8% believe he is pondering whether destroying their enemies across the sea will even be enough to set them free, while 24.4% believe Eren has come to the realization that there is no true freedom in the end. 16.7% think Eren’s words mean that he thinks destroying their enemies is the only way out of their hell, and 15.6% think he’s wondering if freedom is worth the price of all the killing.

He is conflicted about this thought, and question if it’s the only way



WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE PARADIS PLANS TO DO ABOUT THEIR LOOMING THREAT MARLEY?

178 Responses

Now that they are aware of Marley as their big threat, Paradis must take measures to respond. 29.8% of participants believe Paradis will advance their weapons and go on the defensive if Marley decides to attack again. 29.2% believe Paradis will be the one to initiate an attack onto Marley’s land themselves. 24.2% are still not sure what exactly Paradis plans to do.

I think the survey corps will infiltrate Marley similarly to how Reiner, Bertoldt and Annie infiltrated the walls



THERE WERE SOME UNSEEN SCENES IN THE CREDITS. WHEN DO YOU THINK THESE SCENES TAKE PLACE?

179 Responses

There were some scenes in the credits that weren’t shown in previous episodes. 45.8% believe these scenes are to occur sometime in the future, while 13.4% believe these are from the past. 11.7% think the scenes are general and can belong to any time period. Some people skipped the credits—have you not learned from Part 1? :P





ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS ON THE EPISODE?

First time we see the seashell and I wonder what’s the meaning behind it. Excited about the next season, as the post credits scene is probably a teaser for season 4 and the seashell appears once again!

Can’t wait for s4

TBH, I was really hoping we’d see Colossal Armin this episode just cause I wanna see how his design would look, even though I knew there wasn’t any good way to fit it in this episode. That being said, everything else was a nice sendoff before the final arc

Jean deserves credit for being the only reasonable person during the Floch argument and de-escalating the situation

It might have undercut the tone of the episode, but I still wish we got a cliffhanger like season 1 (and to a lesser extent season 2)

Something we could ponder over the next year and a half and keep us theorizing. Still great tho

Lovely end, but very different from end of season 2

If what is implied is true, Historia is in huge danger of having something terrible happened to her. Also, Eren seems to be going from “obnoxious violent brat” to “depressed murdersome warmonger” due to his obsession with “true freedom”

I have no idea where the series is heading and its exciting

Honestly at this point I’ve lost interest in this series. Everything about Marley and war psychology is zero interest to me, it really feels like they’re drifting from that the story is actually about (or what made it great to begin with)

This is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eren has better hair

I loved it! Such an amazing end to an amazing part of the show, the credits were ominous yet hopeful for the future, and I loved the last scene of Eren keeping the shell from Armin. I thought we’d finally see Armin in his titan form, but them seeing the sea was a pleasant surprise
