Same, I had it spoiled just scrolling through UA-cam or twitter and it straight up said Bertoldt and Reiner transform into the colossal and armored titan, don’t get me wrong actually watching it was still great but so much of the emotional blow was taken out of the scene, I understand people posting big points like this like a year later but it was like a week after this episode aired and I wasn’t caught up to this season yet
"If only I never knew there were people like this..." This line is one of the most important to the series especially when applied to Eren, and gives huge meaning when Eren says, "We're the same, Reiner."
@@izmeralda77"people across the ocean and people inside the walls are same but you people were taught that the ones inside the walls are devils.. what could you have done as a child... Reiner we are the same".
Eren: you killed the only person i ever loved now your going to sit there and feel what i felt your gonna look on helplessly as i slaughter everyone you care about.
Can you give a perfect reason, why does ymir go with reiner, there are many reasons, but i want real one, even if ymir takes historia to marley they will use her to make babies or she will be eaten up bcs she has royal blood, how come this stupid ymir thinks historia will be safe in marely and also ymir will not be safe bcs she also gets eaten, as it is already true from series, i really dont understand here
@@vasanthvamshi9977 ymir goes with reiner 1. cause she probably didn't have long left to live anyway cause of the titan curse and 2. she wanted to give her life because she felt guilt for killing marco as a pure titan
@@vasanthvamshi9977 the reason was clearly stated by herself, she needs them away from the walls, she wants them back their home so historia can have a future inside the walls
@@JustSomeGuyWithAMug she aint mentioned that.. she only mentioned her debth.. even if ymir goes back to marley, how can she be safe?, as you see she already gets eaten!!, and again that stupid ymir wants to take historia too, if historia goes their bcs of her royal blood, the marley men make babies out of her or she can be eaten by founding titan holding marley person, once they catch eren, how stupid ymir thinks, but after carefull observation, i found that it is about her character, as ymir eaten reiners frnd, so she goes with reiner, as reiner cant go empty handed to marley, its about the selfness i think so, funny part is that the marley army turned her into titan and doesn't she have any angry towards them, like she roamed around like 60 yrs wtff, at this point she needs to take revence againt marley, and instead helped them by getting eaten, really cant understand the exact reason
Nah, I don't buy Reiner's argument that they didn't know about anything. In fact Reiner was the one who WANTED to keep with the mission going. They killed hundreds of innocent people directly and thousands indirectly from Paradis. Reiner dissociative personality is the pure proof that they knew what they were was wrong.
@@mdsmatheus that's the point he knows everything he did was wrong, but what else could he do but keep moving forward? that's why it hits different after watching season 4
@@skitzwah Face the consequence of his actions like he said he would and, which SPOILER ALERT, it never happened to him in the manga. TRY to cooperate with paradisians(survey corps), tell them the truth about the world what they are, help to free the non-paradisians from the abuse marleyans and other nations were putting eldians. Even while doing all of these he(and Annie and Bertholt) would or should idk still face consequences for killing THOUSANDS of people.
You know a show is incredible when rewatching it somehow makes it even better. On the surface, this scene seemed almost random and most certainly confused many watchers, however after the story unfolds throughout the next few seasons and we see the depressing backstories of Reiner and Bertholdt, the Marleyan Warriors, we realise just how much anguish was in their eyes in these scenes. You can see how mentally torn Reiner is, compounded by his “split personality” where he sees himself simultaneously as a Warrior and a Soldier, and the almost childlike fear in both Reiner and Bertholdt’s eyes as they are forced to transform and take Eren. Truly amazing character development and storytelling from Isayama.
That's the magic of foreshadowing and well written plot twists. As a wise man once said, the point of a plot twist is to enrich the story, not "outsmart" the audience.
When he was crying after kidnapping Eren and telling anyone to "Find them", that shit broke my heart. Ymir was the only one who understood their situation.
Eren going from skeptical, to confused, to bewildered, to sad and then angry?… such an amazing buildup of him transitioning from a bystander to summoning his titan and pounding Reiner. 10/10 scene man
Berthold in that entire scene is fucking hilarious. "Reiner what the fuck are you doing don't fucking tell him" Eren: "I think you guys are tired" Berturtle: "haha yeah"
10/10 Scene. The atmosphere, cinematography, build up, execution, voice acting, narrative impact, and music are all a few factors into making this scene incredible.
The dub makes it easier to feel the emotions but unlike annoying sub supremacist geeks im not gonna bash something cause hard work was put into it. Never gonna understand the dub hate cause dubs are made to unite people into the fan base
@@Vybnn It's not about language supremacy. It's the quality of the voice actors. Japanese voice actors are extremely talented people who train all their lives to get to where they are. Somehow, English voice actors always turn out to be mediocre/sub-par. And whenever a scene calls for loud emotions with lots of screaming and shouting, English voice actors seem to fall short. Another turn off for me is the American pronunciation (more like mis-pronunciation) of names. Makes me jump out of my skin.
2:18 is my favorite moment in anything I’ve ever watched. I love the English translation, “As a warrior- no road left but the one that leads to the end!” And that delivery is so amazing But in the original Japanese you can hear Reiners hesitation in that line… like it pains him to say it.
@@Scazoid we are both responsible for the deaths of almost everyone you've ever loved. And are the reason for your mental scars and fucked world view Fancy a trip back too naziland?
@@Berry-Delight eren must die to save not just the eldians but all humanity, even if you hate marley, there are still good and innocent people, eren's condition right now is mental.
@@robielastrella5606 Eren couldn't agree more. He slept under the same roof as the enemies and ate the same food as them. But I think the current Eren since his rampage in Liberio wasn't his own will, rather it's the past predecessors' of the attack titan, or the attack titan itself. You aren't wrong about him dying is the only way that would unite the world though. It was obvious his death would be inevitable after what he did in Liberio. But if it's not that kind of story where the protagonist did the wrong thing for the right reason and ends up dying in the end and Eren not being manipulated by the attack titan through the past holders, then the reason why he did those things is either that He is conscious about the ideal of the attack titan and he's just going with flow instead of against it, given that Eren's will is unrivaled, or it's really Eren that we grew up with that's committing genocide out of anger and his will to be free pushed him to commit such an act. Also, I might be wrong about his inevitable death. Anything could happen, even the unimaginable. Afterall, it's Isayama we're talking about. We'll just have to see how it'll end in a few months.
@@RikXtreme4 at the start, there was a good. Humans vs Titans. You knew which side was good and bad. But with what is known now in the anime, the idea of the good and bad side is gone. Now it's just humans fighting each other with their own reasons.
@@overlordcat6869 The perception we were given was standard "good and evil" because we only got to see things from one perspective. Everything else was shrouded in mystery. The big picture is that there's never a "good and bad". This applies to real life. Nobody ever sees themselves as the bad guy.
@@CaylexT One could say that it was Reiner's mentality broken officially cause on one hand "hes a soldier" but on the other hes a "warrior" so it's like split personalitys in 2 episodes after this one ymir basically breaks it down.
i think that the flagpole breaking meant a big noise, alerting everyone of possible danger of him transforming given that the scouts already knew about them being titans. Because of that, next scene Mikasa is already getting her sword out thinking that he was about to go titan mode, and he realizes that they already knew about their secret right there
theres two ways i look at it symbolism - a flag has broken, ie a bond has ended. their ruse of being on team humanity is over. the pole could also represent the bridge between rainor the person and rhainerd the image. the wall it was erected on still stands and represents his original goals, his true values and true self image, while the flag represents nearly the opposite, his chosen path, his pseudo image and the character he believed he was. what else i find interesting is that the flag didnt just snap and fall off, it hit every corner of the wall on its way down their literal reactions - they all suspect bert and ernie are the titan culprits. everyone looks to the flag snapping because they are hypersensitive to anything at this point, even the noise of a flag pole breaking in a place sound shouldnt carry well, had them all tense up and brace themselves. milksauces face is stoic at that moment, but her hand rattles on the blades grip. they are all on edge, holding their breath, waiting for something else to happen and immersing the viewers the same way
You gotta admire Bertholt’s communication skills. Even though he saw Reiner’s arm heal, he asked him to confirm if they are going to transform right here right now. That’s good communication.
The sadness I feel knowing there will never be another anime like this again in my lifetime. The emotions, the attachment, the years of build up, the perfection in music and VA, the story.. the closest thing to perfect you could ever dream of.. it’s the only anime I’ve rewatched several times over and will continue to rewatch throughout my lifetime.
To one of the greatest, not only are the storylines, animation, soundtracks and VA are good it's only one of the animes that actually gives me goosebumps and chills every time a scene like this happens, it's terrifying and relaxing at the same time that it's weird
@@dorygaming9410 Nah. I has a handful of scenes, like this one, that are actually good. Most of the characters are annoying and hard to watch, especially the main trio. Just about every episode is filled with at least one character monologuing for five minutes straight. And a lot of the show is just boring, with the exception again of the handful of genuinely great and well written scenes like this one.
@@leonardobarrientos6130 yea man, it definitely wasn't planned for Reiner to out them then and there, and Bertolt was caught just as off guard as everyone else
@@seniorsly reiner is probably my favourite character, he resembles the effects of all this war and conflict. Beautifuly written character if i say so. But yea i understand y u would hate them all, but if u think about it, are they really bad people? I hate gabi and i do understand that its not her fault (spoiler!! In the manga she gets better). Thats why aot is beautiful. Evil and good doesn’t exist (spoiler again!!! Well u can call eren evil in chapter 112 and 131 but no, hes doing this to be free) every antagonist or protagonist in this show just want one thing, to be free. But i do have to agree with u that i want him to die after 137, I want his pain to end. And if he dies (SPOILER!) from sacrificing his life to stop Eren from connecting his head to his spine in his founding form, he will be what he always wanted to be, a hero.
Man I just love how quick mikasa rushed in, while everyone was still shocked of what's happening she didn't even hesitate. I also love the fact that she prioritized on killing berthroldt first.
I’m pretty sure they all knew this would happen, no? Been a long time since I read it, but they purposely cornered B and R and were watching their movements closely.
Remember Christa used the beer bottle to disinfect Reiners wound? She used the whole bottle. That means the Gelgar died without his beer for no reason 😭, F
Lmao if you think more of it its messed up, Reiner essentially didn’t even need that from Christa because of his titan powers. Of course he had to play along but its still funny
Now, after the start of the final season, I just feel bad for Rainer. He was an honest and ambitious boy, who wanted to fullfil his duty and make the world a better place, but ultimately found himself in the role of the evil he wanted to protect the world from.
The greatest Mikasa moment. Yes, there are potentially many. But she is fighting here to her fullest. No Ymir headaches or anything just her abilities and trying to save Eren.
bro she was so fucking alert during the whole Reiner talking and 100 percent ready for anything , she is truly amazing in this scene. i am rewatching it only for mikasa.
After watching the latest season , I sympathize with Reiner , what makes this anime so unique is that , there are no villians they are just on different sides fighting for survival
And sometimes it's just because of love. Spoiler Ymir Fritz was in love w the king, but she couldn't do anything but abused and blinded, even couldn't end her own curse.
There is nothing more badass than when Bertoldt says “Are we doing it?! Now?! Right here?!” 3 years leading up to this one pivotal moment. This scene is one of my favorites. What an amazing show.
Fun fact, this line also appeared in the parody series Junior High, with the same actor and the same performance. The funny part of this fact, is that Junior High appeared on TV at 2015, while this scene wouldn’t even be in production until 2016. So technically, this animated scene is the serious parody of the funny parody of this scene.
@@navi0760 I hate isayama for doing this the the characters. They’re actions don’t make sense; why the hell would Eren and everyone else team up with Zeke; I hate him so much he took pleasure in killing the cadets in their suicide stampede.
It is absolutely insane to me how many iconic moments this show has looking back like this is legitimately a once in a lifetime series & I’m so glad I got to experience it.
Eren knew their identities before this scene. Just like Annie, he didnt want to believe it so he nervously said that they're just tired. I dont remember if the anime explained that, but while I was playing the game, they added that detail.
Reiner was always a good hearted guy, he was brainwashed to think people of the walls are devils. not until he knew them in person, he couldn't face what he's done and got his mind split into two. Definitely Reiner is one of my best characters in this show. I'm gonna be sad when he dies
I used to hate them too...but after season 3...I don't know anymore...but still, they must pay for the actions they've done. I know they are forced to do so, but that is just life. Face the consequences.
@epileptic zepra Are you saying he should stop suffering now? All the people who got eaten alive, did nothing wrong to them but they had to die for the sake of his family. Imagine if that happens to your love ones. Reiner's suffering doesn't end until his death, if he can die anyway. He will keep suffering until Ymir's curse takes him. That is the consequence and nothing anyone say will not mean he has redeemed himself.
@epileptic zepra So when someone told you something is bad, you immediately think that thing is bad without confirming it. Ignorance is not the same as innocence. You are mistaking your sympathy. I bet if the lives in season 1 was shown as tragic, you would immediately change ur mind again. Idiots have this tendency to change their mind whenever a different perspective is shown. I bet if they showed you Hitler's side of story, you would easily go on his side. That's how gullible you are.
@@reianvase6683 your absolutely right. They’re selfish, ruthless, sadistic mass murderers. I could see it coming from Annie, but Reiner? Those goddamn traitors! I bet they’ve never felt compassion in their entire life. Especially Annie, I bet she’d watch humanity burn as long as she gets to see her father. I can’t believe she had the audacity of apologizing to dead corpses in Trost. The way she cried about Marco, she could have dropped the act and smile as he got devoured. The way she crushed scouts one by one, their final moments in fear and anguish all while Annie felt entertained. She’s a tyrant, enjoys having lives at her disposal. Reiner pretending to be a good comrade, how could he go day by day seeing the faces of the people which lives he destroyed. It makes me sick just thinking about those monsters. All the pain, suffering and death they caused, and all for what? Their families? Did they even for second think about the families of everyone they murdered? Those murdering psychopaths, it disturbs me when people are sympathetic towards them.
Its been six years. I have watched tons of anime since. Not a single scene has ever topped the shockwave that this sent around my body and the anime community. This really was the peak.
Was just thinking this. I don't even care if AoT had a GOT type ending (it doesn't), but the journey to the end was unmatched by every other anime out there.
Attack on titan truly is one of the best. I don't care how many people hate it now only because of the ending that i actually kinda liked, but to me, no matter how many years pass or how many other shows i watch, Shingeki no Kyojin will remain the best, at least to me
@@eyeeeriewhenever hyped gets something there will be more haters no matter what.I just dont care, and i appreciate the work Hajimie Isayama made.This is the best anime and manga ever without fanatism
Yeah, he’s my favorite character in all fiction. And despite, the man needs to die. He DESERVES it at this point, I don’t think he needs to go through any more suffering
One of the best scene for me 3:06 specialy when the sound goes in, it's just so perfect. It's been years and we're all there to witness this biggest reveal.
I always loved the part around 1:10, when it becomes total silent just before revealing the biggest shock so far in the series. It's literally the silence before the storm.
@@NikiWonoto26 Can you give a perfect reason, why does ymir go with reiner, there are many reasons, but i want real one, even if ymir takes historia to marley they will use her to make babies or she will be eaten up bcs she has royal blood, how come this stupid ymir thinks historia will be safe in marely and also ymir will not be safe bcs she also gets eaten, as it is already true from series, i really dont understand here
You know is a good anime and scene when you come back so many times despite knowing the outcome. I love the set up, motivations, characters and music as well of tone that sets up this wonderful scene
One of the most powerful moments in the anime. I come back to a few of these scenes every so often and they're just as good as the first time I saw them.
This is writing. They are all acting like real people. When plotwists happen in anime, it';s like every characters already knew of the reveal. Thank goodness Isayama didnt telepathically tell every character about the reveal. For example, in Naruto. When a character revealed they are Madara....everyone immediately recognized him....even those who didnt see him. This is why I like Isayama writing. Screw other shwos.
@@riyansayyed7854 Even those who didnt see him? I understand old people recognizing him but younger generations? Madara was like decades ago before even Naruto's dad.
@@Createanew0 Reiner, bertoldt, and annie's goal was to bring eren back to marely, because he had the coordinate or... SPOILER The founding titan, which marely needs to grow their country and dominate the world. The past 3 seasons however it obviously failed, and then in s4 eren shows up in marely to meet reiner after a 4 year timeskip
@@cptbaguette yes they were 10 not 12 Not to say that they had to go through soldier training for years before being send to another country to destroy it
I love the small but significant things they chose to add here. The snapping flag pole not only represents a bad omen in eastern cultures, but in this scene I imagine it represents Reiner's will to keep up the facade snapping as well. Followed by the clouds parting, signifying his decision to come into the light about who he and Bertholdt really are. Every moment in this scene has a purpose, and I love it
I'm sure it means that symbolically, but I always thought it was meant to show how Hange and all them had stopped talking and were listening into the conversation.
@@Bondyespeaks Namely Japanese culture, because the show is Japanese. Supposedly the breaking of a military banner is considered bad luck for the army. But that’s according to Reddit so take it with a grain of salt
Reiner and Bertholdt are mentally torn from learning that Ymir was the one who killed their friend, prolonged secrecy, and getting too attached to their future enemies. Annie was smart to avoid too much contact with everyone, though she was unfortunate to be revealed first
Annie tried to remain aloof so wouldn't befriend anyone... but she failed as well. She couldn't bring herself to kill Armin, which led to her capture. "I have failed to become a warrior..."
when she says "i have failed to become a warrior" take a look back when she has flash backs of her father, telling her to stay strong and what not. SPOILER(maybe) i think being sent on the paradise mission was a test of some sort and if she failed her father (and parents) would become bombardment titans for marley. evidence when she fails at capturing eren and fighting him she cries.
It was the guilt of the crimes he was comitting to keep his identity hidden that drove him over the edge. He just wanted to end everything there once and for all.
4:00 always gives me tears. You can feel so much pain, so much sadness... It's like I have been betrayed myself... and the music plays a great part in this.
@@MrsLPAmy In the episode after this one, she said that she did hesitate because, she saw them as people and that she wouldn't hesitate to kill them a second time. -loose translation Or rather, she say Bert's crying face and didn't want to kill him. My memory is a bit hazy but, I do remember her getting a falseback to bert crying, possibly implying she hesitated
@@LookAtThisClown. Ah, then I must have missed it in the scene. She did kind of hesitate when she wanted to stab Bertholdt. Thanks for letting me know!
I would literally sell my soul to a prehistoric worm demon and start a war that last thousands of years just so i can rewatch this for the first time again
I just love how understated the start of this was, the scene shows the rest of the group discussing Hange's random theories of how the hole in the wall was made, while in the background Reiner just casually outing himself an Bertholdt as the Titans that began the massacre 5 years ago like it's nothing important, the scene shifting to follow Hange's discussion despite the sheer level of plot bomb that just dropped behind them with absolutely no build up.
Reiner: asks Eren to join them after deliberately killing countless innocents and being responsible for his mothers death Eren: Nope Reiner: "visible confusion"
For both sides it’s the same, on the Walls side it was just Human vs Titan good vs bad no questions asked, and for the Eldians at Marley, it was just Them Vs Paradis no questions asked. Then suddenly everything starts to change and now there aren’t any bad guys or good guys, they’re all just people that in one side was brainwashed into thinking the other side were devils, and the walls side is just trying to survive in a world that despises there existence for no reason except for their ancestors actions that they didn’t even know happend.
And it mirrors perfectly what Eren himself tells him four years later. Put in an impossible situation, pushed by an ideal to commit atrocities they never wanted to do, having been given no other option than to fight to the bitter end. I swear the continuity this series has is impressive.
Now, after the anime is over. I always come back to this masterpiece moment, the most unforgettable plot twist in all anime along with beautiful music.
This proves that they weren't really evil. They genuinely thought of Eren and the rest as comrades, so much so that eventually they coudn't remember what was right and wrong.
If you read the manga (minor spoilers if you haven't so stop reading) it actually goes to show that there are no 100% "evil people" in this anime, just people with their own duties to fulfill.
The look on bertholdt’s face after mikasa stabs him is absolutely horrific. You can see he doesn’t want to do this at all but must. He is bound by his duty and having to fight his friends and getting attacked by someone he went to training camp with is absolutely heartbreaking, even for me who’s watching. Bertholdt is so conflicted but keeps it inside him. Seeing his face makes me tear up with empathy.
Looks like you boys are somewhat traitors as well. Don't be fooled by the music buddies, these sons of bitches got hundreds of children, old folks and mothers to be eaten alive. Just imagine the horror the little kids lived just prior to them getting eaten alive (remember Marco?) This fucker's death was way, way too merciful. They should've taken him underground, tear his arms twice a day, and let Hange san spend a lovely month or two with him, then let someone eat him and get the power. Seriously folks, come on
@@kakacech lol absolutely wrong it’s not like anyone in this show has not killed a single person and berthold and Reiner never wanted to do anything and they are Marley warriors they never knew the truth they were told lies as kids about how eldians are devils so have some empathy Reiner and berthold are my favourite characters of all time
@@roby-cb3uq Well, my friend, I'm not just saying this because of the anime. This has a lot to do with real life as well. When you believe in something in a specific area in life, it will reflect how you look at things in other areas as well. Now I'm concerned about how you doing in life in general. I'm afraid that people might hurt you when you walk around with that forgiveness mentalety. You know why Mikasa in this show doesn't hesitate even one second when facing any of the three shifters? Not out of revenge, but because if you don't pull the trigger first, the one who gets killed will be you and your loved ones. The trio lived 3 years with the people behind the walls, they knew how innocent and scared these people are Yet they did what they did to Marco, Annie killed half the popluation, Bertholdt told Armin, you guys are not the children of the devil, but you still have to die. So your fav boy doesn't even regret it. I hope nobody spoils any manga to me, but even after I watch season 4, I doubt I'll change my opinion about them
I really love how Isayama decided to have Reiner reveal his identity to Eren like this. It's really close to human nature and how it would actually happen in a real-world setting. Imagine if you've been cheating on your partner for a LONG time. You've been living through your own guilt and feel horrible about yourself. At one point people often reach the "FUCK IT I'M JUST GOING TO SAY IT" because they want to free themselves from their own hell. So I think this reveal is so genuine.
How it's reveled in the manga it's even more awesome. The bubble is more or less on the background (like a side character speaking with an other side character) while Hange conversation is the focus of the panel. You have to do a double take to make sure you didn't miss anything
@@LuisSoto-fw3if What they did for the anime was pretty much the same thing. It was said in passing, with low volume and at a distance as if it weren't critical info You'd do the double take as well
@@tinybabybread yes, but part of it it's a full scene where Eren and Raynaaaar are the sole focus. You still do a double take, but if IIRC, in the manga everything is done as background and it doesn't take the foreground until after the fact. I might be misremembering though
3:55 looking back on this part, it’s so heartbreaking because he really trusted them like family, only to find out… it was all an act. At least with Annie, she tried to keep her distance emotionally so that it wouldn’t hurt as much when she finally had to betray everyone, and people saw her more as an emo b*tch. But Reiner (especially) and Bertoldt were like brothers to everyone
That's the thing, Reiner's bond with Eren was a true bond... Both because he fooled himself, as much as he fooled them, and he genuinely enjoyed hanging around with Eren. Bertoldt on the other hand, had actually considered staying, Mostly because he had started to question his mission, question if what they were doing was truly the right thing, that destroying the Walled City and killing everyone was the right thing to do... ...Which adds to the tragedy of the scene.
Not just heartbreaking for Eren and others, but for Reiner and Bertholdt. Reiner called himself a "half assed piece of shit" since all this time he was lead to believe that paradis is filled with devils, but when he got there, he only found humans just like him. He doesnt know who's side is right or wrong anymore, and just chose Marley in the end
This scene is so good. There I was, watching this show, unspoiled, episode after episode. This episode in particular felt like a fucking fever dream. I had trouble tracking the events of this episode, as in, I couldn't even believe what was happening as I realized it was happening. How fucking good do you have to be at story telling to compose something like this? My ultimate and humble respect to the creators. I am nobody and my response to this media does not matter, but holy shit! What a response!

Can you give a perfect reason, why does ymir go with reiner, there are many reasons, but i want real one, even if ymir takes historia to marley they will use her to make babies or she will be eaten up bcs she has royal blood, how come this stupid ymir thinks historia will be safe in marely and also ymir will not be safe bcs she also gets eaten, as it is already true from series, i really dont understand here
@@vasanthvamshi9977 ymir goes with reiner 1. cause she probably didn't have long left to live anyway cause of the titan curse and 2. she wanted to give her life because she felt guilt for killing marco as a pure titan
@@vasanthvamshi9977 the reason was clearly stated by herself, she needs them away from the walls, she wants them back their home so historia can have a future inside the walls
@@JustSomeGuyWithAMug she aint mentioned that.. she only mentioned her debth..
even if ymir goes back to marley, how can she be safe?, as you see she already gets eaten!!, and again that stupid ymir wants to take historia too, if historia goes their bcs of her royal blood, the marley men make babies out of her or she can be eaten by founding titan holding marley person, once they catch eren, how stupid ymir thinks, but after carefull observation, i found that it is about her character, as ymir eaten reiners frnd, so she goes with reiner, as reiner cant go empty handed to marley, its about the selfness i think so, funny part is that the marley army turned her into titan and doesn't she have any angry towards them, like she roamed around like 60 yrs wtff, at this point she needs to take revence againt marley, and instead helped them by getting eaten, really cant understand the exact reason

“We were kids… we didn’t know anything” hits so different after watching season 4. Had me crying for both sides.
Nah, I don't buy Reiner's argument that they didn't know about anything. In fact Reiner was the one who WANTED to keep with the mission going. They killed hundreds of innocent people directly and thousands indirectly from Paradis. Reiner dissociative personality is the pure proof that they knew what they were was wrong.

@@skitzwah Face the consequence of his actions like he said he would and, which SPOILER ALERT, it never happened to him in the manga. TRY to cooperate with paradisians(survey corps), tell them the truth about the world what they are, help to free the non-paradisians from the abuse marleyans and other nations were putting eldians.
Even while doing all of these he(and Annie and Bertholt) would or should idk still face consequences for killing THOUSANDS of people.
You know a show is incredible when rewatching it somehow makes it even better. On the surface, this scene seemed almost random and most certainly confused many watchers, however after the story unfolds throughout the next few seasons and we see the depressing backstories of Reiner and Bertholdt, the Marleyan Warriors, we realise just how much anguish was in their eyes in these scenes. You can see how mentally torn Reiner is, compounded by his “split personality” where he sees himself simultaneously as a Warrior and a Soldier, and the almost childlike fear in both Reiner and Bertholdt’s eyes as they are forced to transform and take Eren. Truly amazing character development and storytelling from Isayama.

@@robielastrella5606 Eren couldn't agree more. He slept under the same roof as the enemies and ate the same food as them. But I think the current Eren since his rampage in Liberio wasn't his own will, rather it's the past predecessors' of the attack titan, or the attack titan itself. You aren't wrong about him dying is the only way that would unite the world though. It was obvious his death would be inevitable after what he did in Liberio. But if it's not that kind of story where the protagonist did the wrong thing for the right reason and ends up dying in the end and Eren not being manipulated by the attack titan through the past holders, then the reason why he did those things is either that He is conscious about the ideal of the attack titan and he's just going with flow instead of against it, given that Eren's will is unrivaled, or it's really Eren that we grew up with that's committing genocide out of anger and his will to be free pushed him to commit such an act. Also, I might be wrong about his inevitable death. Anything could happen, even the unimaginable. Afterall, it's Isayama we're talking about. We'll just have to see how it'll end in a few months.

@@CaylexT One could say that it was Reiner's mentality broken officially cause on one hand "hes a soldier" but on the other hes a "warrior" so it's like split personalitys in 2 episodes after this one ymir basically breaks it down.
@@ogreload1445 flagpoles breaking is also a bad omen
i think that the flagpole breaking meant a big noise, alerting everyone of possible danger of him transforming given that the scouts already knew about them being titans. Because of that, next scene Mikasa is already getting her sword out thinking that he was about to go titan mode, and he realizes that they already knew about their secret right there
theres two ways i look at it
symbolism - a flag has broken, ie a bond has ended. their ruse of being on team humanity is over. the pole could also represent the bridge between rainor the person and rhainerd the image. the wall it was erected on still stands and represents his original goals, his true values and true self image, while the flag represents nearly the opposite, his chosen path, his pseudo image and the character he believed he was. what else i find interesting is that the flag didnt just snap and fall off, it hit every corner of the wall on its way down
their literal reactions - they all suspect bert and ernie are the titan culprits. everyone looks to the flag snapping because they are hypersensitive to anything at this point, even the noise of a flag pole breaking in a place sound shouldnt carry well, had them all tense up and brace themselves. milksauces face is stoic at that moment, but her hand rattles on the blades grip. they are all on edge, holding their breath, waiting for something else to happen and immersing the viewers the same way
Still to this day the greatest scene AND episode in anime history, I don't think anything can ever top this, still brings tears to my eyes.
Hero is the greatest episode imo
There are 20 episodes in aot better than this, but still I believe this scene has to be the greatest scene in general media

@epileptic zepra not enough. The suffering they caused is greater than their own suffering.
@epileptic zepra Are you saying he should stop suffering now? All the people who got eaten alive, did nothing wrong to them but they had to die for the sake of his family. Imagine if that happens to your love ones. Reiner's suffering doesn't end until his death, if he can die anyway. He will keep suffering until Ymir's curse takes him. That is the consequence and nothing anyone say will not mean he has redeemed himself.
@epileptic zepra So when someone told you something is bad, you immediately think that thing is bad without confirming it. Ignorance is not the same as innocence. You are mistaking your sympathy. I bet if the lives in season 1 was shown as tragic, you would immediately change ur mind again. Idiots have this tendency to change their mind whenever a different perspective is shown. I bet if they showed you Hitler's side of story, you would easily go on his side. That's how gullible you are.
@@reianvase6683 your absolutely right. They’re selfish, ruthless, sadistic mass murderers. I could see it coming from Annie, but Reiner? Those goddamn traitors! I bet they’ve never felt compassion in their entire life. Especially Annie, I bet she’d watch humanity burn as long as she gets to see her father. I can’t believe she had the audacity of apologizing to dead corpses in Trost. The way she cried about Marco, she could have dropped the act and smile as he got devoured. The way she crushed scouts one by one, their final moments in fear and anguish all while Annie felt entertained. She’s a tyrant, enjoys having lives at her disposal. Reiner pretending to be a good comrade, how could he go day by day seeing the faces of the people which lives he destroyed. It makes me sick just thinking about those monsters. All the pain, suffering and death they caused, and all for what? Their families? Did they even for second think about the families of everyone they murdered? Those murdering psychopaths, it disturbs me when people are sympathetic towards them.
Its been six years. I have watched tons of anime since. Not a single scene has ever topped the shockwave that this sent around my body and the anime community. This really was the peak.
Was just thinking this. I don't even care if AoT had a GOT type ending (it doesn't), but the journey to the end was unmatched by every other anime out there.
Attack on titan truly is one of the best. I don't care how many people hate it now only because of the ending that i actually kinda liked, but to me, no matter how many years pass or how many other shows i watch, Shingeki no Kyojin will remain the best, at least to me
@@eyeeeriewhenever hyped gets something there will be more haters no matter what.I just dont care, and i appreciate the work Hajimie Isayama made.This is the best anime and manga ever without fanatism

One of the best scene for me 3:06 specialy when the sound goes in, it's just so perfect. It's been years and we're all there to witness this biggest reveal.
I always loved the part around 1:10, when it becomes total silent just before revealing the biggest shock so far in the series. It's literally the silence before the storm.
genius
cant say to you this is the biggest shock because the biggest shock makes this look like a minor one
@Diane 100% he means ''Memories'' if you dont know what it is from that I wont tell cuz its a big spoil
@@hohohobo4630 i said biggest shock up until that point.
@@NikiWonoto26 Can you give a perfect reason, why does ymir go with reiner, there are many reasons, but i want real one, even if ymir takes historia to marley they will use her to make babies or she will be eaten up bcs she has royal blood, how come this stupid ymir thinks historia will be safe in marely and also ymir will not be safe bcs she also gets eaten, as it is already true from series, i really dont understand here
You know is a good anime and scene when you come back so many times despite knowing the outcome. I love the set up, motivations, characters and music as well of tone that sets up this wonderful scene
It's epic.
This is iconic, and timeless and crafted beautifully. I can see myself returning to this moment many times over.
One of the most powerful moments in the anime. I come back to a few of these scenes every so often and they're just as good as the first time I saw them.
This easily beats the "I am your father" twist in Star Wars.
But this isn't even the biggest twist which makes it hella good.
I just realized that the 0:29 and 3:23 frames are basically two versions of the same frame. Beautiful.

I feel so bad for connie, He kept asking where Berthold and Reiner were.
This is writing. They are all acting like real people. When plotwists happen in anime, it';s like every characters already knew of the reveal. Thank goodness Isayama didnt telepathically tell every character about the reveal.
For example, in Naruto. When a character revealed they are Madara....everyone immediately recognized him....even those who didnt see him. This is why I like Isayama writing. Screw other shwos.

Best Scene of all time, in all genres. Have watched this probably 30 times already and i get goosepumps everytime
I love the small but significant things they chose to add here. The snapping flag pole not only represents a bad omen in eastern cultures, but in this scene I imagine it represents Reiner's will to keep up the facade snapping as well. Followed by the clouds parting, signifying his decision to come into the light about who he and Bertholdt really are. Every moment in this scene has a purpose, and I love it
Right?!? I finally noticed that stuff today! It's so cool!
I'm sure it means that symbolically, but I always thought it was meant to show how Hange and all them had stopped talking and were listening into the conversation.
It’s great cinematography at work
It’s great cinematography at work
@@Bondyespeaks Namely Japanese culture, because the show is Japanese. Supposedly the breaking of a military banner is considered bad luck for the army. But that’s according to Reddit so take it with a grain of salt
Reiner and Bertholdt are mentally torn from learning that Ymir was the one who killed their friend, prolonged secrecy, and getting too attached to their future enemies. Annie was smart to avoid too much contact with everyone, though she was unfortunate to be revealed first
Annie tried to remain aloof so wouldn't befriend anyone... but she failed as well. She couldn't bring herself to kill Armin, which led to her capture. "I have failed to become a warrior..."
when she says "i have failed to become a warrior" take a look back when she has flash backs of her father, telling her to stay strong and what not. SPOILER(maybe) i think being sent on the paradise mission was a test of some sort and if she failed her father (and parents) would become bombardment titans for marley.
evidence when she fails at capturing eren and fighting him she cries.

I love how they focused on the flag pole and when it breaks, boom. Reiner mental breakdown
it portrays him snapping in warrior mode
It's also a bas sign in Asian countrys
My day be so fine
then boom
flag pole falls
A literal red flag
And then the clouds break away, revealing the sun right as Reiner sheds some light on just who he is.
The way Mikasa didn't even hesitate
She did kinda. Just a bit tho
@@LookAtThisClown. not really 2:38 she attack immediately
@@MrsLPAmy In the episode after this one, she said that she did hesitate because, she saw them as people and that she wouldn't hesitate to kill them a second time. -loose translation
Or rather, she say Bert's crying face and didn't want to kill him. My memory is a bit hazy but, I do remember her getting a falseback to bert crying, possibly implying she hesitated

@@bromicorn That's a bit excessive
@@endosym5023 you'll get it eventually
I just love how understated the start of this was, the scene shows the rest of the group discussing Hange's random theories of how the hole in the wall was made, while in the background Reiner just casually outing himself an Bertholdt as the Titans that began the massacre 5 years ago like it's nothing important, the scene shifting to follow Hange's discussion despite the sheer level of plot bomb that just dropped behind them with absolutely no build up.
Reiner's broken psychology is what really makes his confession/betrayal hit that much harder.
Reiner: asks Eren to join them after deliberately killing countless innocents and being responsible for his mothers death
Eren: Nope
Reiner: "visible confusion"
Bertholdt : “even more visibly confused”
Thinking reiner face with visible confusion is hilarious😭😂😂
Surprised pikachu face
And just wait until S4 buddy
"deliberaly"
Damn...Reiners monologue before transforming makes so much more sense now.. I understand..
For both sides it’s the same, on the Walls side it was just Human vs Titan good vs bad no questions asked, and for the Eldians at Marley, it was just Them Vs Paradis no questions asked.
Then suddenly everything starts to change and now there aren’t any bad guys or good guys, they’re all just people that in one side was brainwashed into thinking the other side were devils, and the walls side is just trying to survive in a world that despises there existence for no reason except for their ancestors actions that they didn’t even know happend.
yup
And it mirrors perfectly what Eren himself tells him four years later. Put in an impossible situation, pushed by an ideal to commit atrocities they never wanted to do, having been given no other option than to fight to the bitter end. I swear the continuity this series has is impressive.
Now, after the anime is over. I always come back to this masterpiece moment, the most unforgettable plot twist in all anime along with beautiful music.
This scene has it's own, dedicated fanbase
Lmao, just like OH NOO, YES YES YES YES, I HAVE A DREAM, YOU FOOL, YOU'VE FALLEN TO MY TRAP THUNDER CROSS SPLIT ATTACK
This proves that they weren't really evil. They genuinely thought of Eren and the rest as comrades, so much so that eventually they coudn't remember what was right and wrong.
If you read the manga (minor spoilers if you haven't so stop reading) it actually goes to show that there are no 100% "evil people" in this anime, just people with their own duties to fulfill.

The look on bertholdt’s face after mikasa stabs him is absolutely horrific. You can see he doesn’t want to do this at all but must. He is bound by his duty and having to fight his friends and getting attacked by someone he went to training camp with is absolutely heartbreaking, even for me who’s watching. Bertholdt is so conflicted but keeps it inside him. Seeing his face makes me tear up with empathy.
seeing his face in that scene made me feel bad for him the most......
Like that of scared animal.
Looks like you boys are somewhat traitors as well.
Don't be fooled by the music buddies, these sons of bitches got hundreds of children, old folks and mothers to be eaten alive.
Just imagine the horror the little kids lived just prior to them getting eaten alive (remember Marco?)
This fucker's death was way, way too merciful.
They should've taken him underground, tear his arms twice a day, and let Hange san spend a lovely month or two with him, then let someone eat him and get the power.
Seriously folks, come on
@@kakacech lol absolutely wrong it’s not like anyone in this show has not killed a single person and berthold and Reiner never wanted to do anything and they are Marley warriors they never knew the truth they were told lies as kids about how eldians are devils so have some empathy Reiner and berthold are my favourite characters of all time
@@roby-cb3uq
Well, my friend, I'm not just saying this because of the anime.
This has a lot to do with real life as well. When you believe in something in a specific area in life, it will reflect how you look at things in other areas as well.
Now I'm concerned about how you doing in life in general. I'm afraid that people might hurt you when you walk around with that forgiveness mentalety.
You know why Mikasa in this show doesn't hesitate even one second when facing any of the three shifters?
Not out of revenge, but because if you don't pull the trigger first, the one who gets killed will be you and your loved ones.
The trio lived 3 years with the people behind the walls, they knew how innocent and scared these people are
Yet they did what they did to Marco,
Annie killed half the popluation, Bertholdt told Armin, you guys are not the children of the devil, but you still have to die. So your fav boy doesn't even regret it.
I hope nobody spoils any manga to me, but even after I watch season 4, I doubt I'll change my opinion about them
Eren face in 2:25 is like "holly shit, i'm gonna fucked up"
I really love how Isayama decided to have Reiner reveal his identity to Eren like this. It's really close to human nature and how it would actually happen in a real-world setting. Imagine if you've been cheating on your partner for a LONG time. You've been living through your own guilt and feel horrible about yourself. At one point people often reach the "FUCK IT I'M JUST GOING TO SAY IT" because they want to free themselves from their own hell. So I think this reveal is so genuine.
How it's reveled in the manga it's even more awesome. The bubble is more or less on the background (like a side character speaking with an other side character) while Hange conversation is the focus of the panel. You have to do a double take to make sure you didn't miss anything
@@LuisSoto-fw3if I always have to do double takes when I'm reading the manga! Cause everyone looks the SAME hahahaha
@@LuisSoto-fw3if What they did for the anime was pretty much the same thing. It was said in passing, with low volume and at a distance as if it weren't critical info
You'd do the double take as well
@@tinybabybread yes, but part of it it's a full scene where Eren and Raynaaaar are the sole focus. You still do a double take, but if IIRC, in the manga everything is done as background and it doesn't take the foreground until after the fact. I might be misremembering though
you said it all
3:55 looking back on this part, it’s so heartbreaking because he really trusted them like family, only to find out… it was all an act. At least with Annie, she tried to keep her distance emotionally so that it wouldn’t hurt as much when she finally had to betray everyone, and people saw her more as an emo b*tch. But Reiner (especially) and Bertoldt were like brothers to everyone
That's the thing, Reiner's bond with Eren was a true bond... Both because he fooled himself, as much as he fooled them, and he genuinely enjoyed hanging around with Eren.
Bertoldt on the other hand, had actually considered staying, Mostly because he had started to question his mission, question if what they were doing was truly the right thing, that destroying the Walled City and killing everyone was the right thing to do...
...Which adds to the tragedy of the scene.
#facts
Not just heartbreaking for Eren and others, but for Reiner and Bertholdt. Reiner called himself a "half assed piece of shit" since all this time he was lead to believe that paradis is filled with devils, but when he got there, he only found humans just like him. He doesnt know who's side is right or wrong anymore, and just chose Marley in the end
@@Victor-056 Nah, Bert probably gave up that though the moment Annie got captured🤣
