That's a great point thank you for sharing this thought ahh

jared

I blame floch for Sasha's death; Sasha heard Gabi and Falco board, and Jean tried to get everyone to be quiet so they could investigate, but Floch's zealotry would not be abbated, and the celebration would not stop. And he didn't feel any guilt, shame, nor remorse for his part in her death. I can't stand him lol which I think is by design

Chérissa

FR. I HATED HER FROM THE BEGINNING! (in general, I never like who she is) It doesn't matter if she was brainwashed, just a kid or any other. Yes, you can get angry, but acting out of anger and just anger is never the right answer no matter the position you're in. Use f-ing logic & knowledge then add your emotions into it. Gabi always acted out with her feelings never questioning anything at all like so many others. Narrow-sighted and narrow-minded AF!

Sam

Not every single character has to have a significant impact on the story, and it certainly does not make them a bad character if they don't. Sasha is one of very few comic relief characters in this series, which is special because of how bleak it normally is. A character that brings a new, refreshing personality, at least imo, is a good character. Sasha is that. She even had her own personal development and character arc too, learning to give up on her old hunting ways and integrate with the rest of society. She is a great character.

duuude the wii tank game was the first game i was ever introduced to, played it with my dad when i was a kid

No room for cat swinging

When you've seen it before it's more about smiling at your friends reactions than what's happening on screen, you've already been through that moment and you're prepared for it

Blue John

Not a sin duh. They're still goofy tho lol

Blue John

I was so angry at gabi during this part, but afterwards i chilled out a bit, it's totally sensible actually, even with only the extent of the episode. She's just defending her home, i can't just expect her to lie down and take it can i.

Blue John

Much late, understandable at the moment but if anyone keep hating her after sorting out the situation and circumstances, these people are probably just braindead

KeterLordFR

Same. I started watching again after the Final Chapter Part 2 came out and binged the rest of the series in a week.

Kpop Tart

Because it’s a sin to hate a fictional character 🙄 get off your high horse

Pati Zvarová

yeah thats so weird

JackLover19

I haven't heard the wii tank game music in over a decade. Also rip to a real one

smiv

ok I get that mckay smiles at everything, but even at sasha's death????? that is WILD

Kisa Shouta

Hate Gabi as well

Madara_Uchiha_2022

No… that was not the intention of Isayama. He doesn’t want anyone to hate her

PanjaMysy

Depends on the reader/watcher, I suppose. Personally, as sad as I was about Sasha, I was relieved it WASN'T Connie.

Shadow DeMonk

Just want to say u are not alone, i really hate her, and glad someone hates her just like me

BoredVoid

I like how you tried ASMR and immediately talked over it.

Elijah Martinez

Rewatch in dubbbb plsss

Elijah Martinez

I feel like if Connie died it wouldn’t be as impactful as sasha

Joshua Stephenson

“Do you or do you not think that was Armin?” Just let them watch and find out!!! Y’all need to stop trying to lead them to the answers that will be revealed later!

metalgearbear

It was heartbreaking seeing how devastated Conny was. That was his best friend.

CherryTart

Gabi fights for Marley because it’s all she’s ever known. That’s like saying why does eren fight for paradis 🤣

Umm Āsiyah

Nothing hurt me like this

matthew bremmer

Also could be interpreted as her calling niccolo's name. The chef who made her food.

TheBookerDeWitt

Yeah the story was definitely lack luster compared to Witch Queen, but everything else is PREEM. Im havin a great time

chuuyazai

Never thought i’d be crying over the word “meat” Rip sasha

Mamox

I think im a bit older than you guys, (not too much, early 30s) and i played tank game on flash websites back in the day on like addictinggames,.com and etc thats where i remember everyone playing it or kongregate i think it was called - but i know exactly what you mean when you say the tank game

Mamox

lets gooo. everyones saying the story sucks, and it does. but im enjoying the gameplay and stuff to chase, haven't played since forsaken so just coming back and theres a lot new and a lot to do

BZD

As they say: All my homies hate Gabi.

TheBookerDeWitt

Lightfall gamers in the CHAT??

PamerTv

Finally a answer! Thanks lol

Samo

wait I thought I was the only one who chilled my glass before drinking a nitro LMAO

Kaylee S

I’ve been gatekeeping that nitro Pepsi for so long and brig just used it for clout 😭

Gnani

Colossal Titan nuke is an ability of choice. It is actually addressed in the conversation between Bertoldt and Reiner on top of the wall at Siganchina waiting for scouts to arrive. Reiner says "You supposed to have the most powerful ability of all us, but you never use it unless you are told." This I believe refers to it.

PanjaMysy

"I'd rather have it be Connie!" Connie is precious and should be protected at all costs!! But I am curious if, being fully caught up now, do you still feel the same way? Would you prefer to be going into this last part without Connie and have Sasha there instead?

Ashley H.N

As soon as I saw the caption with the potato I just knew which episode it was gonna be😔

szeth

Yeah for sure, not to give any spoilers away but you get to a certain fight scene with adolin and kaladin? Theres one with them and it might be my favorite in the series its sooo good

wagwan

yeah thats the point, you're supposed to hate her, isayama and the writers and the voice actor did their jobs perfectly

Lew

Fuck around and find out 🤷‍♀️

Lew

Same, like I GET IT. I understand the parallel completely!!! I still hate her though lol the reasoning behind her hate was far different from Eren's before and after the Marley invasion. Brainwashed, blah blah I know. I'll die on this hill. Hating real life titans that you watched EAT your loved ones and attack your homeland FOR NO REASON is far different from hating an ENTIRE population of people based on the actions of ancestors 100 years ago. Idc idc idc idc

Lag Sold

Same like she is always angry and thinking she’s the best. Even after her awakening I don’t really care for her

Lew

Gabi is the worst I will not take any criticism or complaint about it I hate her idc lol

szeth

Yeah gabi is a clown sorry

Dio

Well I also don't think it is reasonable to expect anyone to have the same mentality as Gabi and react the way she did. She is also an exceptional character, like in episode one where she destroyed the armored train by herself. I think Gabi and Falco have similar mentalities too lol. They're both apart of the same squad training to become warriors of Marley and inherit the armored titan.

blitzman08

Lol Falco is wise beyond his years and it's not reasonable to expect everyone to have the same mentality as him.

Dio

No, that is not true. Falco is the same age as her, and tried to make her realize that the Marley Warriors did the same thing to the Eldians. He explained to her that this was out of revenge, for what Marley did. However, Gabi refused to listen. So no, we would all have not have done the same thing at that age lol. Falco is proof of that by trying to talk sense into Gabi.

ZYGGY

Christa

I SERIOUSLY HATE GABI WITH PASSION RN

Jennifer Rivera

"This is my path" lmao

The Owl

You are 100% correct that someone meaningful to our main characters had to die in order for this sequence to have the emotional weight that it needed to.

The Owl

The “slide-cancel no-scope”. I pissed my pants

Jake Manning

WII TANKS! That takes me back lol

Here!

teagan

i cry at this episode every damn time

Rhett Donaldson

Lfmao, Brig’s drink killed me at the beginning🤣 Also he’s sporting some drippy pants‼️

Rihab Bhar

can i ask when is next ep dropping?

ash

Gabi is a crazy good character bc you hate her so much at first but it's totally understandable why she is the way she is considering how she grew up. And then eventually, she get so much character development & you cant hate her anymore, just some really good character writing imo

Carlton Moore

SN: the Pepsi nitro drink is a nitrogen infused drink - there’s literally no carbonation involved lol. It’s a peculiar taste, you either hate it or love it. It’s smooth for sure.

A_Daddy Daichi

Exactly! That’s why I don’t hate her. Would’ve done the same thing at that age especially and in the environment she grew up in

A_Daddy Daichi

Now I wouldn’t say she did absolutely nothing wrong but the mistreatment & brainwashing played the biggest part in what she became. Glad she came around and realized her wrongdoing’s

blitzman08

She’s 100% justified. She’s also a literal child soldier. Obviously you’re not supposed to be happy she killed Sasha but you understand why it was done. Ultimately it’s tragic for both sides involved

Markus

People seem to forgive most characters, but not Gabi for some reason. I don't remember seeing nearly as much hate towards Zeke, even after killing Erwin and all those Scouts. Gabi just witnessed her friends die and her hometown destroyed, but it's somehow unforgivable that she gets revenge? Even though that's more or less what's driving Eren?

blitzman08

Everyone would have done what Gabi did had we been in her situation. Goofy mfs in these comments lol

Hennessy Jed

To answer the question of “Why,” Sasha died; I’ve came to the conclusion that Sasha, as the comedic relief for this series, was the last bit of innocence our crew had after what they just did. Her death signifies the loss of innocence for our Paradis cast, it’s gonna be nothing but serious going forward now.

Monther

Gabi is such a bitch

Janey

I'm not prepared to press play on this video, even after several rewatches. Potato girl was always one of my favs. She was such a kind, warm and funny character. And I understand why her death was so vital to the show and Gabi's story, but man it kills me every time. To see Connie and Jean's lil hearts break 😭

Jag_227

Gabi is a badass

Jag_227

hot garbage take

Sanders Sophie

It's funny because on a rewatch of aot, there are characters that i hate and then came to hate them lesser because i now understood where they coming from but THAT KID, GABI! MY HATE FOR THAT KID GOT STRONGER ON SECOND WATCH. She just infuriates me so much.

Markus

She saved Samuel in s1, tried her best to motivate the other cadets during the Battle of Trost, saved Kaya in s2 and Connie in part 1 of s3. Not to mention her exceptional sense of hearing, which has been useful a few times.

Proximity94

Yeah, they totally didn't stop watching, don't take everything what they say literally. Anyway, I'm not a fan of the character either but what I think is each one has it's own purpose in the show. Sasha was a comedic relief for the most part so I didn't really have much expectations towards her development.

nana

Here ! She’s just misunderstood and could’ve been the best Titan ever

Rihab Bhar

lol she helped the girl who's mom was eaten, which is of HUGE importance to the story + she was a warm hearted character that most of the time made all the others laugh. A story without her, would be very different in the sense that, Gabi would most likely hold on to her strong hatred which would affect the plot. And without Sasha, the characters would be way more depressed than they were which would also affect the plot. And, you saying that she didn't bring anything to the story while also saying that her character is bad in the story, does not make any sense.

Sean Carroll

HOT TAKE: Sasha was a bad character, she didnt bring anything actually that important to the story, all she really did was be the character that jokes centred around like the potato jokes which got old real quick and she also made a lot of silly mistakes on missions in the first 3 seasons. I like sasha as a person but as a character in a story she is a bad one. I didnt like her dying but it also didnt affect me in any way compared to a lot of people who say they stopped watching the show after that. I personally find that mindboggling

Sean Carroll

here, she did nothing wrong

Toff

*FaZe Gabi joined the server*

manderlee

The only thing about Sasha’s death that I didn’t lie is that it was so hinted to. We KNEW way in advance that she was Gabi’s target, but also that someone in the C/S/J trio was going to die just going off of what Connie said. “I’m just glad you both made it, no offense to the other guys but you two are special.” *15 min later Sasha gets capped* Not saying to can’t have a predictable death but man I love when you know someone is going to die but all the characters are in such high risk situations, you don’t know who it will be. Sasha’s death episode had that surprise at first, but then they made it clear that she was going to die when she shot the who Police guys in front of Gabi… for me, her death would’ve been more surprising if she had died by Gabi and we didn’t even know Gabi was on board. Like imagine it’s one of those cut scenes where we think everyone makes it out, gabi rolls our, shoots Sasha, and then as soon as we see her shot on the floor in cuts back to again however long before she even saw Sasha shoot those guys…. Idk I think that would’ve been sick anyways that’s my hot take😂

manderlee

I concur, was thinking the exact same. I mean it makes sense too that Armin wouldn’t have a ton of experience just because in order to practice his Titan they’d have to travel far away from the walls or else they’d freak everyone out.

kiiturii

holy shit you're right, I completely forgot but during one of the falshbacks where the original warriors are first heading to the wall they mention something about bertholt getting his transformation right on the first try and that it's unheard of, it definitely has to do with control and armin probably doesn't have that yet since he's only transformed like a couple times and was never trained

Reckless

Chad Eren

Stoke me a clipper

On the Colossal Nuke: it's never been explicitly stated why the Colossal titan always seems to explode now, but I do have a robust theory. The basic version is: Yes, it's an ability, but one that Armin has not yet learned to control. Marley knows what abilities their titans typically have, and they have training meant to help grant their Warriors those skills. Bertolt was also said to have a natural talent with his Colossal titan; he notably didn't lose control on his first transformation. During training, he was able to work towards greater control of the known Colossal titan abilities including how to use it's destruction energy emission abilities at will, and to prevent them going off by default on transformation. Meanwhile, Armin simply doesn't have access to the knowledge of the abilities or the specific kinds of training. The three times we've seen Bertolt transform without an explosion were all while he was on or by the wall, which for millions of colossal reasons he didn't want to damage too much.

Markus

Sasha was one of my favorite characters, but someone from Paradis had to die during this attack. It's the death of characters like Sasha, Erwin and Hannes that makes the show feel impactful. There's always been a chance of a beloved character dying at any moment, which keeps us (the viewers) at the edge of our seats whenever something happens on screen. In short, a show without consequences would just be a boring show.

theyre already up to date with everything

Spoilers🥲

Con Wunder

I hate Gabi with a passion.

Mike burns

Y’all remember back in season 1 when crazy shit was happening and all of us myself included said this is nothing just wait. Well this is all still just the beginning just wait 😂 been a good ride 🤙🏼

A_Daddy Daichi

Also where are my Gabi lovers at lol

A_Daddy Daichi

Rip Sasha 😭 I was spoiled for this but still teared up this episode

David Herrera

Dude, that song lol

FriendlyEnemy

My answer (pure speculation) to your question at the end is that the Colossal Titan can control wether or not he causes an explosion. The reason Bertholdt didn't explode the first two times is because he was testing if the King of the walls would actually retaliate by using the rumbling and didn't want to risk it. That was one of the main points of their mission besides obtaining the Founding Titan. I believe it was Tybur who mentioned that in part of his speech. Plus I don't believe they knew where the founding Titan was and they didn't want to risk it by blowing her up cause they wanted to retrieve her.

ChrisBrah-4

Faze clan literally made a twitter post of gabi the moment she fired and shot off erens head with the caption “faze gabi” aot is undisputed bruh

Melizé

That's encouraging to hear given that I went ahead and bought all books lol some of the battle scenes/chapters are sooo good, it gave me AoT level of excitement.

Oxiiacid

Brig just reminded me of a childhood memory! I would give anything to play that damned tank game again.

szeth

That might be my favorite one but not sure, they are all pretty close

Melizé

I didn't cry the first time watching it, I think I was just so angry but it hit me differently this time around. I did not need to cry two days in a row! My beautiful brunettes :(

Nicky Ariansen

I've wanted to see your reaction to this episode since the first time Carter and Cannon said they really liked Sasha, and now that it's literally here, I can't bare to watch it yet 🥲

Melizé

Currently reading Words of Radiance, so good!

Itachi Uchiha

Is this the last update for the day ? 🥲

Sheru

If you guys ever end up rewaching, definitely checkout the blu ray version. It has alot of minor visual changes. I believe FUNamation has all the scenes in Blu Ray.

Alex Ramirez

To answer your question at the end, my answer is mostly speculation but probably 100% the reason why Bertoldt didn't explode his first 3 appearances as the Colossal Titan. The Colossal titan can choose to transform normally or charge up for an explosion, the reason why Bertoldt didn't do it the first 3 times is because he was next to the walls. The explosion of the Colossal Titan would be strong enough to destroy the wall and accidentally let out a few "mindless" colossal titans that form the wall. Back in season 2 the reverand shouted at Hange to cover up the colossal's face before the sunlight hit it (titans move with the energy of the sun). So Bertoldt transformed normally in order to not cause a small but mindless Rumbling.

Ben Martineau

I literally did the exact same thing, I binged all episodes before this in 3 days and then just stopped with this for a long time lmao

Acatnamedmittens

I think in regards to the colossal titan's explosion, it has to be a conscious decision, like how Eren only manifested a part of his Titan to pick up a spoon or block a cannonball. I know y'all are caught up and have probably forgotten about this talking point but that's how I've come to understand it. Maybe I'm wrong but idk. Regardless, thanks to all of you for being so real. Love your reactions

Gee.Ali

I suggest y’all listen to the “Fuck Gabi (Eren did nothing wrong)” song on YouTube! Lol listening to that song helped me get over Sasha’s death 😪😪
