Attack on Titan

When Eren lost his leg i expected him to regenerate it, because a scene they showed earlier was of Eren being injected with stuff by his father, and his father had something in the basement (which they mentioned a bunch of time earlier with the key), so i was thinking that his father had a living titan, or part of a titan in the basement that he was collecting blood/dna from and, since hes a doctor, was using w/e he collected to create a serum that could turn people partially into titans and that he was experimenting on his son

Then Eren was eaten by a titan and i expected him to kill it from the inside and regenerate his missing limbs all badass like

Then even when that didnt happen i still thought he was alive somehow because the show set that character up too much to kill him off so when Mikasa was about to be killed i expected him to come out of no where and save her, which did happen, but i never expected him to be a full titan

My current theory is that the titans were all once human, the titans eat humans and crap them out into new titans, and the humans that were eaten are mindless, the abnormal ones remember some of what it was like to be human (i cant speculate on why they are mindless/abnormal)

The human that the titan was made from (or at least the humans brain) is in the back of the neck (hence why hitting that spot is the only way to kill them)

The titans size has some relation to the person that the titan once was, so the small ones were children that were eaten and the 15-20 meter ones were tall adults (i dont know how the colossal titan fits into that, currently im thinking that it was a titan that got eaten by another titan and turned into an even larger titan but im just making stuff up at that point)

The stuff Erens father injected Eren with is something that allows a person to turn back from being a titan, he probably also injected Misaka and Armin
So basically the titan will act like a giant mech suit for the 3 of them to "pilot" (if you can call what eren was doing as piloting) but they wont become titans that often (i also suspect that Armin's titan form will be insanely powerful)

I still think the thing in the basement (that the key is for) is a titan/part of a titan that Eren's father has been experimenting with

Erens mom will be an unusually abnormal titan (maybe with the ability to speak) and he will probably have to fight her at some point knowing that his mom is in there somewhere

The 3D maneuver system makes no sense
It disobeys most of the laws of physics, i paused the video to read the info screens they put up in the middle of the episode and that system would not work at all
It wouldnt bother me so much if they didnt try to explain how it works, if they didnt try to explain it i would just assume its using some technology i didnt know about that exists in that world which wouldve been fine but since they tried to explain it the only way that the system could work is if the laws of physics in that world are different from the ones in ours, which would also be fine, but the show has demonstrated that they work in ways that are opposite to what the 3D maneuver system would need in order to work
So theres no possible way the 3D maneuver system would work the way it does in that world
Im just going to pretend that i never read the info screen and that it works by magic because it is a cool system


Theres no way that the humans couldve built a wall that large, and that covers that much distance while under attack from titans
The titans wouldve had to leave humans alone fore decades in order for them to build that outer wall
We dont know enough about the beginning of the titan attack for me to say that the construction of the wall was impossible but i find it hard to beleive that they could construct a wall like that quickly enough to stop the titans


None of the characters stopped to think that Eren was the rampaging titan
It seemed obvious to me that Eren was that titan, even if i didnt know about his father injecting him with stuff, the titan kindve looked like him and it acted like him, you would think that 1 of the characters, especially Misaka or Armin, would at least suggest the possibility after seeing how it looked and acts
It seemed like Misaka might have thought about it but i dont know

3. Eren Titan
Common Pat, this complaint is pretty bad, how stupid would it have been if they had guessed it was Eren. They have never seen a titan act liek that before, but there are all kinds of titans that never act the way you expect, they are called deviant class and there are intelligent type titans who also act diffrently. And did you really think they should have just watched that titan and said to each other, Hay guys that eren, yup, pretty sure thats eren, not sure how or why, but its gatta be him. We only expected it because we have seen a lot of mangas and stuff like that usually happens.

Thats what i ended up doing, i said ill pretend it works by magic, which is me accepting it
Most of the time when anything (not just anime/manga, but any fictional work in any medium) gives an explanation that goes into as much detail as the explanation for the 3D gear does it usually can work in some way within the world that it exists in
So my complaint wasnt that it doesnt make sense, but that they shouldnt have tried to go into that much detail when it clearly cant work in the way that its detailed to work in

I was referring to "deviant class" titans as abnormals since that what the show (or at least what the subs that i watch) called them, and i know that they would assume that Eren titan was just an abnormal (in fact they said it was an abnormal titan when they saw it fighting other titans)
But they know almost nothing about titans other then that some of them act weird and that they only have 1 vulnerable spot, so would it be really be that stupid for 1 of them to think that the titans might be humans that were eaten after they see 1 acting very similar to someone they knew that was recently eaten, Eren titan even used the shin kick flip move that Eren used earlier, a move that they would surely recognize, 1 of the characters even said something like "it seems to know hand to hand combat" and "it only wants to kill titans, its ignoring humans"

So, basically, they saw an abnormal titan that:
1. Was determined to kill other titans to the point where it ignored humans
2. Was using moves that were used/learned during their hand to hand combat training (this one is the most important)
3. Had a face/hair that resembled Eren's

Those 3 things together, which they acknowledged or could see. plus their lack of knowledge on what titans really are or where they come from, would be more than enough for 1 of them to logically come to the conclusion of "that titan is Eren"

humans being digested and eren turning into a titan without the need to be eaten by a titan first

titans were once human somehow

I also think titans are humans. We still know nothing about their origins and why there are different types of them

90% of the comments i saw for this episode everywhere was something like "waste of time" but i liked it
It didnt really continue the story or have any action but it had good moments and dialog
And some character development for Armin

Im glad they didnt do Eren's first idea of running away since that what usually happens in situations like that

You can see how much extra they added, because at some point Armin says, we probably have 20 seconds left or something like that and its only like 8 minutes later that they actually get ready to shoot them again.

Yeah the amount of time they took to reload was ridiculous, they cut to the cannon at one point and they werent even reloading it and right after that someone said the cannon is almost reloaded

When he's walkign with the boulder and the epic music starts playing it was awesome, although they ahd to ruin it by playing some out of place weird pop-music after

The female titan looks a lot like that girl from training, the one that eren learned that kick move from
I cant decide how i think human/titans are made, either it wasnt his father that made them, or his father was that girls doctor/they had some connection to eachother that hasnt been revealed yet
Also Reiner was definitely crushed, i think hes a titan too, i cant tell if he knows or not though, i dont think he does

I actually think there are a lot of people like Eren, now that they introduced another human that can become a titan (that isnt 1 of the main characters)
Currently i think all the important characters are titans, but theres only 2 characters that i have evidence for, Reiner, and that girl from training

Armin may not be a titan because he has the brains and the brainy characters always get screwed like that
