But we have also seen how easily they can be used as titan weapons without them ever realising it. Put it in their food, gas them up, etc. Not saying it's their fault, but that's the reality in their world. The eldians are on a different level of dangerous compared to regular human.

Jag_227

@locomojoboy a slit throat is one thing. Being blown into to halves by a rocket is another. I see what you mean tho, no one really understands the ability to regenerate. Levi thought the spear was enough. It was, Zeke was dying before being healed by the other titan. To activate the Rumbling, I think it needs to be a *titan* with royal blood. Not sure why. Also, Paradis wouldn't want to lose a valuable weapon like the Beast that will help their island survive against more advanced nations.

Jag_227

@jay_chu I can't think of a time someone transformed with missing limbs, so maybe that's right. My understanding is that it would come down to the shifter's own stamina, in that case. And even if they could not manage a perfect transformation, I think they could manage to turn into something threatening. I think in Levi's mind, the Thunder Spear was guaranteed death. He was right about that. Zeke was dead. But he was saved, not by his own healing, but from that Titan that came to heal him.

locomojoboy

I don’t see how a Thunder Spear would kill zeke when we’ve seen warriors survive fatal wounds like a sword to the neck and a slit throat. So I would have done the exact same thing as zeke and detonated it, because Levi would be seriously injured and I would regenerate. And someone please explain why they need zeke’s royal blood when we literally have Historia to come in contact and activate the founding titan?

Jay_chu

Porco bit Erens legs off before Eren transformed for the first time. Here, Zeke already has transformed once. Thus he cannot transform for a second time with missing limbs. So the thunder spear was completely unnecessary. Isayama probably only wrote that to nerf Levi who was way too op. Instory one could say Levi ected irrational (for the first time in this whole story) because of his hatred for Zeke.

Theresa

You guys know this was the last episode of the first part of the season that was released right? Lol as in that cliffhanger of the fight about to begin was how it was left until part 2 came out. I almost lost my mind when I realized there wasn't another episode ready after watching this.

Jag_227

Well, if he slices him...that's an injury. And so long as Zeke has the will to turn into a titan, he can. Porco bit off both of Eren's legs and Eren still was able to transform. The Thunder Spear is what Levi is using to threaten Zeke against transforming because if he does, he will be blown in half. Zeke was so desperate that he took the gamble. And would have died from the blast if that Titan didn't come to heal him.

BoredVoid

That still doesn't explain anything about the Thunder Spear logically. The slicing was valid enough.

Verotar

Probably yes - But I guess a new blood test would just be developed as soon as they found the new shit to test for T_T

Jag_227

My thoughts on why Levi strapped Zeke to the Thunder Spear... Previously, Zeke was being threatened by Levi and 30 other soldiers. Zeke could have transformed at any time, but his odds of defeating all of those forces was slim. Now that those 30 soldiers have been turned into Titans, only Levi remains. Levi maimed Zeke. But, now they are stranded in this forest alone. Levi can't kill Zeke because then Paradis loses the royal blood which is needed to use the limited rumbling and keep the island safe. Levi has to transport Zeke back to the nearest city and get help. Because when Zeke wakes up, nothing is stopping him from turning back into a titan and trying to beat Levi again. Levi has to find a way to keep Zeke from transforming while they travel by wagon to the city. So, Levi hooks him up to the Thunder Spear and slices his legs to keep his body from healing. But, Zeke was so desperate to carry out his plan that he was willing to gamble everything on surviving the blast.

Shiro

I think I can tell you why I love her character despite her brainwashing. She is daring, gutsy and she takes initiative. For a 12-year-old, that is amazing and incredibly brave. If we are to ignore her psychotic rantings, I think she is an incredibly brave child, be it on the battlefield, or also in Liberio. I mean, imagine running towards the battlefield once the fight starts in Liberio, boarding the blimp, going to enemy territory and killing their shooter, all single-handedly, she knew she would be killed and yet she did it. That alone takes a lot of guts, hence I like her character

Fátima Quintero

can zeke alter the genes of the Eldians so when the people makes blood test to them doesn't show they are eldians?👀 I always wonder that

Stanley Labissiere

"Eldians don't ever turn into Titans on their own; they have to be injected with Titan spinal fluid" somehow, this part is VERY often forgotten

Jeffrey

Good old cliffhanger. Just imagine if it was the other one that manga readers had anticipated. Us anime onlys would've lost our minds. We really had to wait a year for the second part of season 4. I'm still holding strong. I haven't read the manga yet. But I can't say I haven't been spoiled. I'm way too curious when it comes to reading people's replies in YouTube comments. With that said, I don't know exactly how the story ends. I'm very much looking forward to it given how controversial it is though. Only have to wait until Fall. We're almost there.

metalgearbear

"Technically it's a good thing to get rid of this race that can turn into things that eat people" - while technically true, Carter, it brushes over the very grey and nuanced caveats. Eldians don't ever turn into Titans on their own; they have to be injected with Titan spinal fluid. The 9 Titans are a threat in the hands of someone who has ill intentions. But that's what it comes down to is intentions. It's similar to what Kaya said. "What did my mom do to deserve to die?" Just for existing and having an inherent trait they deserve to be eradicated? Over something that most of them cannot control? That's racism, by the way. I get that all of this is not an easy yes/no, but try to see it from the side of the Eldians who want to just live and not be targeted. Is it immensely difficult to change the way the world sees them? Of course, but that doesn't automatically make it the lesser path. I feel like Paradis is victim to people like Yelena, Zeke, and Lady Azumubito for them not even starting with a way to foster peace (which they could have given they hold strong cards), but they trudged forward with their own, personal ideals. In their vision for "freedom" they completely forgot to ask the people they are helping "what do you want?" It's that blindsighted approach that has led to so much destruction- neither side trying to understand the other and working in good faith.

Sheru

I love carter's reaction. They are always the most reasonable

John Ferreira

The titan that put Zeke inside of itself was not doing it on Zeke's commands, it was Ymir who made that happen

Wulfheart

Ew Twitter lol but yeah letting us know how many at a time on here would stop us from (affectionately) harassing them lol

C E.

or via insta story because twitter can be a cesspool of trolls and the like. it wouldn’t be a day where an account would spoil everything just for the heck of it and we’re having none of that 🥲

BZD

I’m case you didn’t realize. The titan that saved Zeke was the same one he threw at Levi, he left it’s nape alone. That’s what twitched a few episodes ago, and one of you said was just Zeke’s jaw.

C E.

spoiled for who? if it’s the Geks, they’re already caught up w/ everything as of date. it’s only the uploading and editing that are taking time and are being posted on schedule.

Valco

Thanks for spoiling every single thing that is to come in the next part of the season.

iaani

I can think of several twist that had me more shook than that one, just goes to show how crazy this story is.

kiiturii

When I first watched s4 p1, I hated her as well, but as it usually goes, with character development and great character writing, I came to like her a lot more. She's still kind of a brat and way too accurate on a rifle, but I like her character a lot. She alone kind of proves how peace might actually be an option, it would be hard to find someone who hates "island demons" as much as her, yet even someone like her came around after actually learning about them and being around them. At least that's how I see it

A

@seancarroll We’ll ride at dawn for Gabi lmao

A

I love Gabi lol. Yeah she was annoying at first but I really felt for her when she started to genuinely realize how badly she was brainwashed. How the island Eldians weren’t all evil. She really felt ashamed for the things she did. Also she’s so similar to Eren in she wanted to do everything possible for her people. She’s loyal af. I just think her and Falco are so freaking precious.

kiiturii

nahh, I want updates too and I ain't signing up to twitter lol

Agha

I think the patreon updates are better because its all here

A (Daddy Daichi)

I think they do understand him but just still don’t like him

farkzzy

it’s the greatest plot twist ever bro don’t be humble

kiiturii

@tskjn I know dude, I've watched the show many times. I'm saying people don't just forgive because he had his reasons, he still did these things. Just like Levi hasn't forgiven him for Ragako even though he's heard the story many times, he hasn't forgiven him for shiganshina, for killing Erwin, for turning his comrades and the military into titans, any of it. And Zeke doesn't feel guilty for any of it either, so why would anyone even forgive him?

Iris

Maybe you guys should make a twitter to update us if you feel like you dont want to spam the Patreon feed.

Nonos

I can’t wait for their reactions to arguably the greatest trio in the show, the greatest plot twist in anime, Eren and Zeke trying to come into contact with each other, that whole two brothers episode, the rumbling, Ymir’s backstory …EVERYTHING lmaoo

David Alberto

cuando suben el otro?

Melizé

Lmao yes, she is! And hey thanks for replying to my comment :) let's hope they upload the next video soon!

tskjn

That's true, I can't defend him for enjoying the killing but let's just acknowledge his motivations. Basically, it's the same for Reiner and Bert just the only difference of actually feeling remorse. PS I do think his plan is shitty tho. But if i had to choose i'd take it over the genocide.

keyton bush

Well yeah she is pretty annoying lol

keyton bush

I don’t hate Zeke but I also won’t defend his wanton murdering (which I also acknowledge Eren is far more guilty in this respect). One only need look at the opening sequence of S3 EP17. Zeke not only kills because he feels he has to, but he treats it as a game. Taking life for him is a small matter. Levi was right to say he didn’t care about the lives that he took, which makes sense because in Zeke’s mind if he had to kill to accomplish his goal it was all the better since by killing he thought he was saving the lives of those yet to be born.

JJ

The whole theme of the story is that history repeats itself. I read the manga so I know how it all ends but that’s why I agree with everything he did because it was the only way.

Melizé

Omg you actually replied haha! Thank you for that! I understand that, and I agree with you, but that doesn't make her less annoying. I just don't understand why people love her.

falconnn

NEXTTTTTT PLS

Gael

Pretty sure this next episode is the last one for the weekend.. they used to upload on Sunday too but their last update post said they would only be doing Friday and Saturday :'(

tskjn

I don't know where you got the idea that zeke wanted to do those things you mentioned. He was forced to do Ragako as well as other cities because of MARLEY, he betrayed Grisha because the restorationists were done for anyway, so he sacrificed his parents for himself and his grandparents, he eradicated the scouts again because Marelyans told him to get the founding titan. He was NOT free.

dinguswingus366

but there's a bigger picture than any one man or any one family. the things I pointed out are objectively true, in 100 years, everything on paradis will be just like it was right after the fall of wall maria. There won't be enough room for livestock, food will run out. The people in power will find some reason or another to marginalize some portion of the population and exterminate them.

keyton bush

Gabi is a representation of the mentality of repaying evil with evil, but from the other side. She mirrors Eren, and for this reason we come to hate her, because she does evil things, yet is self-righteous and condemns others. The point of Gabi isn’t to love her, but to drive the viewer to reflect on why they hold the allegiances they do. One should be brought to contemplate the morality of the whole situation and be reshaped in view of that. That’s why think I Gabi (and also Falco) are great additions to the cast. They force a change in perspective, if one is open to change.

Melizé

Just kidding! I'm just being impatient 🙃

Megan Kirby

I think armin was crying there because he realized that Eren was still on their side. He understood there was no way he would go for the euthanization plan.

Scott

I doubt you would think that way if you and your family were part of the casualty. Also even if everyone is wiped out that doesnt guaranteee anything. How can you be so sure if Eren wipes out everyone that history wont just repeat itself and Eldians use titan power for evil again and cause the cycle to continue. "Yes it was done to paradis or did you forget?" Using revenge as a justfication for what Eren is doing just proves that his actions wont solve anything just further purpetuates the endless cycle of war and hatred.

Melizé

The waiting is killing me, low key want to start arguing with a Gaby lover just to kill some time lol

Agha

I choose euthanization over genocide. I completely understand ALL sides even Zeke. Levi is my favorite character and I'm all for him killing Zeke as long as if he lets him carry out the plan first.

Cristian

WHERE THE NEW VIDDDDD

Centreon

Man oh man their reaction to the biggest plot twist is gonna be so good

manderlee

REFRESH REFRESH ITS COMING REFRESH REFRESH

dinguswingus366

Only now they've doomed themselves. without the trees and the grass (burned away by the rumbling) the lands beyond paradis will not be able to support life. Now we're back to episode one. the last survivors of humanity are trapped on paradis, never to cross the sea because everyone else was wiped out by titans. The cycle repeats. The only difference between episode 1 and episode 89 is that the walls are gone and the greatest threat to humanity is overpopulation instead of titans. Everything will go back to the way it was, only, just as Pyxis said, "we'll have done it to ourselves"

manderlee

LOL

kiiturii

you said people who hate Zeke don't understand anything about the show. That's just stupid lol. A lot of people in this show have suffered, Zeke isn't unique in that aspect, and past suffering doesn't excuse their actions. So yeah, people will still hate Zeke for almost eradicating the scouts, betraying Grisha, turning Ragako village into titans, going behind the military's back with a secret plan and just in general having a shitty inhumane plan. 'Hating' him doesn't mean you don't understand his character or appreciate the character writing and motivations

Wulfheart

Mood. I've been refreshing the page for the past hour.

T. Law

This comment 👑❤. I immediately lose respect for those who cannot understand Zeke.

tskjn

He is so misunderstood fr he suffered so much. I don't know how anyone could defend genocidal eren but still hate zeke. But i do think they had biases because of erwin lmao

Henarivan Andhika

where next episode T.T

T. Law

That's where I don't agree with Zeke. Focus, I never talked about loving Zeke or agreeing with his plan, I'm talking about understanding him and stopping to side with the idea of YES LEVI KILL HIM AND AVENGE ERWIN!!

kiiturii

or just don't like the idea of stripping an entire race of the ability to have children. Forcing them to go extinct

T. Law

Levi's fans are the only ones who don't like Zeke, no, they HATE him. I find this pathetic.

keyton bush

Idk at one point I heard Carter saw he thought Zeke’s plan wasn’t that bad, so I doubt he hates Zeke, even though he sides with Eren. Though, it would be hard not to hate Zeke after what he did to Levi.

Don't engage man, they don't understand that you can "Like" a character, but not support Eren's actions. Eren is edgey as hell this season, and they think thats "cool"
