RATE THE EPISODE

Like previous episodes, viewers were very pleased with this one, with 73.3% giving it a 5/5!

need to watch it again

Another amazing episode! Just like last time with the smiling Titan origin, Kruger stating Armin and Mikasa’s names was so shocking and chilling.



WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING WAS THE MOST IMPRESSIONABLE MOMENT?

92 Responses

Over half of viewers were most affected by the scene of Kruger saying Armin and Mikasa’s names to Grisha. At a very distant second, the moment that stood out to 7.6% of viewers was Eren realizing the potential conditions to unlock the Founding Titan’s power. At 5.4%, the third most voted for moment was Levi claiming that Eren is “going through a phase.”





KRUGER SAID EVIL AND GOOD PEOPLE ONLY EXIST IF THAT’S WHAT THEY ARE CALLED. DO YOU BELIEVE THIS?

91 Responses

Just over half of the viewers believe that overall “good” and “evil” are subjective terms, but that there are a few people who are objectively one or the other. 38.5% agree that the terms are always subjective depending on one’s personal morality. 11% feel that “good” and “evil” are purely objective and one can be labeled as either of these things depending on their actions.



DO YOU THINK GRISHA WAS THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR KRUGER TO ENTRUST THE TITAN POWER?

90 Responses

Nearly ¾ of viewers agree that Grisha was the correct choice to pass on the Attack Titan to. The remainder of viewers aren’t sure that it was the right choice, or flat out believe Grisha was a terrible choice.





WHAT IS THE BEST NAME FOR EREN’S TITAN?

91 Responses

The majority of viewers are most partial to the “Attack Titan” official English version name of Eren’s titan. 16.5% prefer the literal translation from “Shingeki no Kyojin.” 11% still prefer the “Rogue Titan” fan-given name.

All of them are pretty nice. Sure is better than “Eren Titan.”

Attaco thythano

Rage Titan



WHAT ARE PATHS?

92 Responses

38% of viewers feel that Paths are, or are akin to, metaphysical threads of fate. 28.3% believe they are like an invisible highway between time periods, and 27.2% remain confused (don’t worry, the manga readers are still confused too, it’s a long ride).

P A T H S

What are paths

I now understand the P A T H S meme.



EREN KRUGER MENTIONED MIKASA AND ARMIN WHEN HE WAS TALKING TO GRISHA - HOW DID HE KNOW THEIR NAMES?

91 Responses

Nearly half of viewers believe that Kruger’s mention of Eren’s friends is due to him having access to all the memories of the Attack Titan, past and present. 39.6% feel that the explanation is simply that paths connect all Eldians together in an unexplainable way. A small 7.7% think it’s possible Eren himself sent this message back to Kruger to deliver to Grisha.

Eren misremembered this event with his own memories inserted. Ie, Kruger didn’t really say Mikasa and Armin, Eren just remembered it that way.

I’m so freaking confused to the point where nothing makes sense anymore. (And I love it XD)

Probably some form of predestiny. It seems like all the holders of the titans are connected through time, like each one has an owner’s manual that can be added to at any point. Eren’s dream in S1E1 felt like a similar phenomenon.

Visions from previous holders

Ymir sent this message from the future back to Eren Kruger

Eren never said to save Mikasa and Armin- Grisha said that, so that memory would be Grisha’s memory.



KRUGER SAYS IN ORDER TO STOP THEIR CURSED HISTORY FROM REPEATING, GRISHA MUST LEARN TO LOVE SOMEONE. DO YOU THINK THIS COULD BE GENERAL ADVICE FOR THE REST OF HUMANITY?

91 Responses

Over half of viewers believe that while “love” is a nice answer to the problem, it’s not the sole solution and the situation is far more complicated. 34.1% believe that “love” is the right answer to break the cycle of prejudice and hatred. 9.9% don’t want to claim either way, and a small few think “love” as the answer is completely unrealistic.





NEXT WEEK IS THE FINAL EPISODE OF THIS SEASON - ARE YOU EXPECTING A TEASER FOR THE NEXT SEASON?

91 Responses

The vast majority of viewers are either hopeful for a season 4 tease or believe we will definitely get one after the season finale. A small amount think we’ll just be left hanging and wondering about it.





WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION TO THE SHIFTERS HAVING LIMITED LIFESPANS?

91 Responses

33% of viewers felt validated in their suspicions that there would be consequences to holding the power of the titans. 28.6% didn’t see it coming at all! 24.2% are simply just sad about the news and ready to mourn the fate of their fave(s).





EREN IS SEEN TALKING TO HIMSELF AND REPEATING BEHAVIORS FROM KRUGER AND GRISHA. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR EREN’S MENTAL STATE?

91 Responses

51.6% of viewers feel that Eren will continue to struggle with identity issues that will in turn influence his future decisions moving forward. 31.9% believe that while he may currently be exhausted and/or overwhelmed with this influx of memories and information, he’ll use these tools moving forward with more motivation than ever. 8.8% aren’t sure what the future holds for Eren.

A combination of option 3 and the depression of knowing the truth that titans are people longing to find the spirit of one of the nine shifters and that he has 8 years to live.

He seems pretty much done with life, I think he’s gonna go rogue or defect to Marley to put an end to Eldia’s cursed history.

I think it’s just a natural side effect of him remembering more.



HOW DID YOU FEEL WHEN LEARNING ABOUT YMIR’S FATE?

92 Responses

30.4% of viewers are disheartened about Ymir’s fate. 29.3% were pretty certain that this was going to happen to her. 20.7% are very distressed about Ymir’s fate.

I cried when Historia read the letter



WHO DO YOU THINK ATE YMIR?

92 Responses

70.7% of viewers are certain the silhouette in the ceremonial room is a new character that has yet to be revealed. 15.2% believe that the Cart Titan we’ve already met is the person who ate Ymir. 7.6% already know the answer to this question.





DO YOU THINK IT’S ACCEPTABLE FOR EREN TO KEEP HIS REALIZATION ABOUT DINA AND THE COORDINATE A SECRET?

91 Responses





Half of the viewers believe that Eren choosing to withhold his suspicions is perfectly understandable, although they feel that he should definitely confide in someone he trusts like his friends. 27.5% believe that it’s completely justified as he doesn’t want to risk Historia’s life over a hunch. 17.6% believe that this is a poor decision on Eren’s part and will affect future events.

I can’t really decide

I know that he doesn’t want to risk historian’s life but if they can’t find another way to access the coordinates powers, they will ultimately fail. Unless Armin or someone can come up with a different way to access the coordinates powers, I think Historia will be the only way. Maybe they will find another secret royal family member?

I think he should tell Armin only. Have Armin come up with a plan to use Historia without putting her in danger and go from there.

Mikasa, Armin and Levi are the only trustworthy ones

I think Eren will tell Armin only since he’s the strategist.



DO YOU THINK EREN WILL TELL ANYONE ABOUT HIS THEORY ON ACTIVATING THE COORDINATE?

91 Responses

37.4% of viewers feel certain that Eren will at the very least tell Historia about his suspicion. 20.9% believe he will say something, but keep it strictly between him and the Survey Corps. 13.2% think he will ‘fess up at a critical moment.



ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS ON THE EPISODE?

I’ve been thinking alot about how there are two different “races” in attack on Titan. The eldians and marlians(?). The eldians are the oppressed people and marilians their oppressors. It was previously mentioned that the Ackermans are different from the eldians and can not become Titans? And no one looks like Mikasa and Levi (Asian) so maybe the Ackermans are a 3rd race? And maybe there are more Ackermans out in the world somewhere?

bruh

I have mixed feelings on it. I felt like the Curse twist was completely unnecessary and didn’t add anything to the show. I’m also unhappy with how mystical things have gotten. For 57 episodes and 3 seasons we’ve continually learned more and more nuggets about how titans work from a strictly scientific lens. So for them to just suddenly be like “jk none of that matters because the true nature of titans is mAgIc” is kind of unsatisfying. This has always been a show with meticulously planned details and actual answers, and it suddenly doing a heel-turn and having a theme of “no one can really know the truth!” feels like a cop out.

A lot of exposition dropped on us at once. I wish they explained the whole path thing more, because the whole notion of predestiny we have for it right now kind of goes against the characters’ desire to break free of their fates. I wonder if the visions and prophecies transferred really HAVE to come true.

When you thought it’s over, bang!!! Another drop in the end . Daaamn
