It felt so incidental at first. When you rewatch the show or the Manga you discover that the foreshadowing was masterful. The mystery element of the show was thought out in a very ingenious manner.
I think that was the point. The author knew by this point that he had a very enthusiastic fan club. They aren't stupid. The theories were going wild and Reiner and Bertholdt were pretty much outed immediately after Annie was. So he went for choosing the delivery of that twist in the most absurd way possible, and it worked perfectly.
Yeah, thats the point. I was spoiled the Reiner's reveal just an episode earlier on astreaming site by a jerk and an apisode after, Reiner puuls out the actual reveal do casually out of nowhere. Like "I am the armored titan and he is the colossal titan" fuckkk just like that. This show's first GOAT moment right there
Actually Eren refused to believe it until the moment they actually transformed. Just like he refused to believe Annie was the female Titan until he saw it with his own eyes.
@@Eren-da-Jaeger I'm a Patreon supporter, which gives early access to their content, several episodes ahead of youtube peeps.

He looked up to him so much that even when the facts were laid out in front of him, he still denied it. Thats just how much he truly believes in reiner, annie and bertholdt.
This is literally the saying "if you want to hide a tree, hide it in a forest". It was in plain sight the whole time, and that's what makes this brilliant. People usually assume that a huge plot twist must be preceded by a huge build up and be presented in a big, flashy way. However, dropping the truth in the most casual way possible catches anyone off guard, which makes the reveal even more special. And then, when you rewatch it from the start knowing this truth, you see how many clues were dropped on the way up to this. The rewatch value of this show is unmatched, second to none. Absolutely incredible writing, truly a modern masterpiece. Love your reactions!!
An obvious clue on the previous episode right when Ymir transformed and then climbs up the other again you can se bertoldt holding out his hand in front of his mouth to bite himself
It was built up with visual and sound cues. The grey clouds, side eyes, and wind were letting us know something was about to happen. We just had no idea from where or when. Beautifully done
@@win3738 that doesn't matter tbh, I spoiled this reveal for myself (I was searching up characters because I forgot Bertholdts name) but I was still shook because of the way it happened so nonchalantly.
@@win3738 of course they knew who the armored titan was. I mean we all kinda did. they've being saying it was reiner since annie's reveal because it's obvious. (Not bethold case) however you cant tell their reaction is fake because even if they knew it they wouldn't have thought the reveal was gonna be this way. the same happened when annie's reveal when they said they were shocked even if they were almost sure it was her
@@TheReivax27 Yeah, Bertolt's delivery of this line is what makes the entire scene for me.. That's when you know that it's about to go down, and that they're NOT joking. When i first heard it i went "holy shit" x10 at that moment.
@shauci oh no... Not again. He didn't destroy the ending... The way to reach the ending since 137 wasn't that good, but the ending itself was good enough

I like to think the flag breaking symbolized a snap in Reiner's sanity. Edit: Slight spoiler in the comments if you haven't watched season 3 3 or beyond
Actually, it was to show that the scouts already know he could transform at any moment, thats why they all got scared by the noise of the flag falling.
The director literally told the voice actor for Reiner: "Say it casually, like you're ordering a coffee at a restaurant." That was meant to be one of those "wtf did I just hear? Wait what?" moments. And then they cut to data about lifts and horses 😂

I can't believe I haven't picked up on the blatant RED FLAGS haha. I was so glued to the screen and was hanging on the edge of every word and sound that I ignored the colour completely. Too focused on thinking that the wind gradually picking up and snapping the flag off its pole represented Reiner's breaking point and the scene's imminent climax. And just like that, I love this show even more.
i remember that episode a years ago, I was like "uh, WTF Crunchyroll (because that app was pretty shitty) you're running another episode subs and then I was just like 0.0"
From the moment the first AoT video was posted I have been excitedly waiting for you two to get to this one! Having seen all of the anime, and read all of the manga, this is, by far, my favorite moment in the entire series. Between the animation, pacing, dialogue, and music (my god, that music) this reveal is so incredible. And your reactions certainly did not disappoint! Thank you for covering AoT, and I cannot wait for you two to see what else is in store.
I got completely blindsided by this. The thought they might be Titan Shifters never crossed my mind, not even once. I don’t know if that speaks more to the quality of the writing or my obliviousness as a viewer.
If you had been looking for it, you'd have spotted the clues. In hindsight, given that Annie was who she was, you'd think this would have been easier to see coming. But I was also blindsided. Especially looking back at episode 1, seeing the Armored Titan with *exactly Reiner's hair*....
@@anonymity8707 ur dumb there’s an episode hange explains that he has multiple openings like the back of the knee and small places with no armor. plus levi’s so fast he’d slice em before they fully transformed
I appreciate how this episode subverts your expectations. At this point there are clues that you won't be surprised by Reiner and Berholt being bad guys. So instead they surprise you by having Reiner blurt it out of nowhere.
I love how all the reactors who just now are reacting to this show just so happen to know that Annie, Reiner, and bert were titans before they are revealed. It’s almost as if they watched the show already and over react.
- A few episodes ago: “Honestly Reiner is definitely the armored titan, it’s too obvious I will be even more shocked if he was really the armored titan” - Isayama: Hold my yogurt drink
The look of betrayal you ladies had…. Priceless. I remember feeling the same way. The disbelief and denial you had up until they began to transform. Then your crestfallen reaction when it all was proven true.
Actually in the 5th episode it foreshadowed that bertholdt is a Titan. when ymir climbed the tower to rescue them, Bertholdt about to bite his hand the moment he saw ymir's Titan form.
It's foreshadowed in the 3rd épisode of the first Season when eren tells the story of shingashina, when hé speak of each Titan the camera focus and reiner and Berthold
i literally binge watched the entire show for the first time this month so i feel like it's too soon to "relive" the show via you two, but omg this episode!! the reactions are priceless
Honestly the biggest achievement of this series is not that it has fucked up "big reveals" every now and then, but that the more you learn about the story, the more they make sense. We have seen plenty of long running series doing the "ass pull" once in a blue moon, but here every time they add new details you can see that the vague foreshadowing was there from the beginning.
Totally. The best way to enjoy AoT is to watch it first without any knowledge, then watching it again from the very beginning to catch ALL the little foreshadowing. There's literally sooo many since the beginning of season 1
bro the fact that i’ve watched this episode so many times and already know the twist but still ending up getting so invested and got literal C H I L L S when Reiner and Bertholdt revealed their secret speaks to the quality of AoT and it’s craft. it’s so fucking good oh my goddddddd
17:19 Eren crying while Reiner is holding him is one of the most amazing and heartbreaking moments here. You can see how much friends mean to Eren..when you put emotiinal moment is such an epic scenes 👏👏 And now the new, diferent relationship between Eren and Reiner begins 😌
He didn't! But having lived two different lives and having split personality breakdowns, he definitely cares for humanity now. He just hates how his life turned out to be and hates the choices he has to make.
@@Sunkcostfallecy He does. That's why his split happens. They broke the walls due to their indoctrination, but then realized that the devils aren't actually devils. He realizes what he has done and cannot cope with it, so he developed so many heavy mental issues.
@@Dark__Thoughts Just like I said previously, He didn't care about humanity inside the walls and thought of them as devils but once he lived among them, he found out that they were just people and couldn't bear the guilt. Split happened after he started caring for them and guilt started piling up.
LMAO. This literally captured my exact reaction to that episode, It was difficult for me to process what's happening that I felt I had to rewind that scene multiple times.
You know AoTs a masterpiece when it makes people literally switch to their first language. Happened to me too. lol . I had to leave the screen and take a breather.
Im binge watching your reactions and i cannot 😂 what a fun watch. It's hilarious of how shocked they are, one started speaking the default language and had to take 10 minutes break 😂
Reiner revealing it obvious an insane plot twist, but three things they did made this huge plot twist into the GOAT anime reveal: 6:37 - when Bertholdt grabs Reiner and asks him not *what* he's doing, but *why*. Reiner isn't joking, and they also didn't plan it ahead of time. 14:41 - when the music starts after the silence the first few seconds makes you understand that something is about to happen, you just don't have any idea what it is. 15:59 - when Reiner sees Mikasa over Eren's shoulder, it snaps you out of your thoughts of why Reiner is doing this. Mikasa here reminds us that they aren't just revealing they need Eren, they're literally their biggest enemy. And the scouts will fight them no matter the history.
When it comes to animations, building up mystery and shock value, yes. When it comes to revealing the core of the story, not really, since almost everything about the titans comes down to: "Its magic."
16:29 my tears come every time. Armin’s scream to Eren, then we see the last moment Eren sees his friends. After this moment, they’re enemies. The MUSIC. It’s just utterly heartbreaking. So damn good.
Also the timing. Just imagine thinking about Ymir being another titan, the Beast titan who can talk and how did the titans got behind the walls without destroying the wall then you have this big reveal all of a sudden.
This is one of the best reaction I have ever seen. I really like how shock you both were and I think almost all people who have watched this episode did not unterstand at first glance what Reiner was talking about. I remenber that I tought that the subtitles was not correct or something went wrong. But then I realized this is actually true. What a twist! And you are right, they said that so casually! No big effect, no warning, just like this in one sentence almost in the background while Hanji was also talking. This will give a new dynamic to this show and show us all the layer and the dimensions of this masterpiece. Even if you had a clue about Reiner, your reaction was truly amazing but don"t worry, you will not be able to foresee everything that will happen From now, if you look at some scenes of the 1st season, you will understand more and more things waiting for all the pieces to gather in order to riddle out all the secrets of this show. And this is specificly why I like this show and his writing and the storyline so much, it because it has so many layers and is so deep. After the end of the season 2, you could have a new look on the 2 previous season and notice some small clues. After the end of the season 3, you could then again rewatch the season 1, 2 and 3 and discover new things! And this is truly amazing to think that so many things were hidding in some very casual scene or dialogue which are, in reality, very important information at the end! I can't wait to see the end of this season with you and your journey within the season 3 Trust me, the best is ahead :) and this is the best part for you
@@soffiapiano There is insane foreshadowing in season 1 aswell. This is in my opinion the best villian reveal in any form of fiction ever. I mean a lot of people probably expected reiner to be the armored titan, but it was done in such a masterful way.
@@mambaforever9593 yes! Rewatching S1 after this episode makes everything Reiner & Bertholdt said and did, and even how they looked at each other be shown in a completely different way. Like when the military was about to shoot Eren and Reiner panicked and went to see for himself.
@@jeffzheng6372 that's great news bro, thanks for sharing. Although, I fear that the more dedicated simps are in their Patreon 😂🤣 either way... even though I'm mad, there is no helping it. So, I'll try and enjoh the reactions as much as I can
*Annie freezes herself to keep the secret*

He really did just drop that bomb like nothing

I got completely blindsided by this. The thought they might be Titan Shifters never crossed my mind, not even once. I don’t know if that speaks more to the quality of the writing or my obliviousness as a viewer.
same
If you had been looking for it, you'd have spotted the clues. In hindsight, given that Annie was who she was, you'd think this would have been easier to see coming. But I was also blindsided.
Especially looking back at episode 1, seeing the Armored Titan with *exactly Reiner's hair*....
And in 2x4ish or whenever Ymir tells them to grab on as the tower's about to come down, Bert is poised to take some action too
I suspected them after 2x4 but the way it was done baffled me
@@jasmine9581 it was 2x5, I'm pretty sure
6:26 She held that surprised Pikachu face for almost a solid minute 😂
reiner: hey eren have you got a second
eren: no
*to be continued*
Imagine if it actually went this way...
Bruh 😂
Hange and co already suspected them though, so I don't think much would have changed either way... Kind of.
@@footlong7980 Well, this encounter could have been avoided without the "quick talk"
@@TheMaitoPulla "Quick talk"?
Reiner: "If only I'd known there are people like this"

I appreciate how this episode subverts your expectations. At this point there are clues that you won't be surprised by Reiner and Berholt being bad guys.
So instead they surprise you by having Reiner blurt it out of nowhere.
Reiner: “I shoulda never smoked that shit now I’m the Armored Titan and he’s the Colossal Titan...”
"Imagine needing to talk about lifts right now"
I fucking died 😂😂😂
Its true it's so fucking absurd, I love it xD
It's actually pretty brilliant, right? It all adds to that "Did I just hear that correctly?" vibe.
Debatable, but this might be THE best scene in aot. Along w the soundtrack it's just too powerful
It is for me as well the best scene
its up there for sure
definitely top 3 imo. One of the only scenes i can still enjoy after the ending
@@mambaforever9593 Lmao. This ending sure disapoint a lot of us.
You're completely right
i am sorry but you two ladies have the best reaction i have ever seen. YALL NEED TO BE SEEN.
Why is the blonde smiling? Kinda creepy 😬
they just pretending to be shockedanormalperson would just open his mouth for 2 second and complete watching LMAO notlike a garage for 2 min
@@qj5_ nah it sometimes happen with me also when it's a very shocking moment, nothing overreaction in it.
I love how all the reactors who just now are reacting to this show just so happen to know that Annie, Reiner, and bert were titans before they are revealed. It’s almost as if they watched the show already and over react.
- A few episodes ago: “Honestly Reiner is definitely the armored titan, it’s too obvious I will be even more shocked if he was really the armored titan”
- Isayama: Hold my yogurt drink
The look of betrayal you ladies had…. Priceless. I remember feeling the same way. The disbelief and denial you had up until they began to transform. Then your crestfallen reaction when it all was proven true.
Underrated reaction:
Millena: " and why is he not bald?"
So I DID hear that correctly - does she mean because the Colossal doesn't have hair? LOL
@@Youre-absolutely-right yes LOL
@@Nerveey07 Great now I can't stop imagining Colossal with a bowl cut xD
here is the answer if you read this reactor: "because his body literally burning overtime so hair wouldn't be possible"
@@Youre-absolutely-right thank you for that mental image at midnight.. I think I just lost a frikkin lung xD
LM Reactions: I bet Reiner is the armored titan.
Reiner: I am the armored Titan.
LM Reactions: Nani?!
Actually in the 5th episode it foreshadowed that bertholdt is a Titan. when ymir climbed the tower to rescue them, Bertholdt about to bite his hand the moment he saw ymir's Titan form.
It's foreshadowed in the 3rd épisode of the first Season when eren tells the story of shingashina, when hé speak of each Titan the camera focus and reiner and Berthold
Them: "This is the last episode we're watching today"
Me: "Are you sure about that?"
i literally binge watched the entire show for the first time this month so i feel like it's too soon to "relive" the show via you two, but omg this episode!! the reactions are priceless
this episode is basically:
Berty: Reino!
Reiner: REIYES
lmaooo 😭😭😭
Finally an original comment
Lol I love this reference
Lmfao 😂
Honestly the biggest achievement of this series is not that it has fucked up "big reveals" every now and then, but that the more you learn about the story, the more they make sense.
We have seen plenty of long running series doing the "ass pull" once in a blue moon, but here every time they add new details you can see that the vague foreshadowing was there from the beginning.
Totally. The best way to enjoy AoT is to watch it first without any knowledge, then watching it again from the very beginning to catch ALL the little foreshadowing. There's literally sooo many since the beginning of season 1
"BERNARD IS THE COLOSSAL TITAN"
It's not Bernard, it's Bernatol..
No Bertoto, no boruto, berto, borito, berutoto, bertorto...

Aber tu orto, nunca supe como se escribía
bro the fact that i’ve watched this episode so many times and already know the twist but still ending up getting so invested and got literal C H I L L S when Reiner and Bertholdt revealed their secret speaks to the quality of AoT and it’s craft. it’s so fucking good oh my goddddddd
GOD DAMN this hits 1 million views, this moment is legendary fr
LMFAOOOO the fact episode 7 is even a worse cliffhanger and then hearing them constantly saying it cannot end worse than this got me dying
why tf so you feel the need to spoil the show
@@Trathien- They already watched those episodes..
@@Trathien- Bro they're on season 3 already lmao I commented this like 2 weeks ago because of patreon
@@gokay6476 not 2 weeks ago...
@@eay1652 ah yes, they are on season 3 right now that means they were always on season 3
The episode that made me fall in love with AoT. And it's not the reveal itself but more the way it's delivered, the music, the directing, the feels..
Yup I am with you. I read the Manga so I knew it was coming and I still got the chills!
17:19 Eren crying while Reiner is holding him is one of the most amazing and heartbreaking moments here. You can see how much friends mean to Eren..when you put emotiinal moment is such an epic scenes 👏👏
And now the new, diferent relationship between Eren and Reiner begins 😌
“Let’s hope no cliffhangers . . . “ oh sweet summer child.
Finally someone who immediately got that Reiner does care about humanity in the walls. .
He didn't!
But having lived two different lives and having split personality breakdowns, he definitely cares for humanity now. He just hates how his life turned out to be and hates the choices he has to make.
Check out SoS and FilmBuff
@@Sunkcostfallecy He does. That's why his split happens. They broke the walls due to their indoctrination, but then realized that the devils aren't actually devils. He realizes what he has done and cannot cope with it, so he developed so many heavy mental issues.
@@Dark__Thoughts
Just like I said previously, He didn't care about humanity inside the walls and thought of them as devils but once he lived among them, he found out that they were just people and couldn't bear the guilt.
Split happened after he started caring for them and guilt started piling up.
@@SunkcostfallecyHow is it possible for 2 people to disagree when they're both making the same point, lol
In this video, we see that the girls break down in different ways.
The Milena model simply stops moving.
The Lola model stops speaking English.
That reveal almost knocked the English right out of Lola's head.
"Bernard is the Colossal Titan"
I just pictured Bernard from Megamind and now I can't unsee that idea. XD
Brazilian soccer player too
Bruh
Of all the twists and turns of the entire series, this one drained blood from my face like no other, and I screamed at the end just like them.
LMAO. This literally captured my exact reaction to that episode, It was difficult for me to process what's happening that I felt I had to rewind that scene multiple times.
You know AoTs a masterpiece when it makes people literally switch to their first language. Happened to me too. lol . I had to leave the screen and take a breather.
Same haha. 😩👌🏿
I was so shocked that I spoke a language I don’t even know
"It literally can't get any worse"
Reiner in next episode: AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
3k views in 2 minutes. Yep everyone was waiting for this reaction
Im binge watching your reactions and i cannot 😂 what a fun watch. It's hilarious of how shocked they are, one started speaking the default language and had to take 10 minutes break 😂
Reiner revealing it obvious an insane plot twist, but three things they did made this huge plot twist into the GOAT anime reveal:
6:37 - when Bertholdt grabs Reiner and asks him not *what* he's doing, but *why*. Reiner isn't joking, and they also didn't plan it ahead of time.
14:41 - when the music starts after the silence the first few seconds makes you understand that something is about to happen, you just don't have any idea what it is.
15:59 - when Reiner sees Mikasa over Eren's shoulder, it snaps you out of your thoughts of why Reiner is doing this. Mikasa here reminds us that they aren't just revealing they need Eren, they're literally their biggest enemy. And the scouts will fight them no matter the history.
Shingeki no kyojin is a fucking masterpiece and it's just the beginning
You mean Attack On Titan?
@@someguy6135 No he means Naruto 🤦♂️ lmao
When it comes to animations, building up mystery and shock value, yes. When it comes to revealing the core of the story, not really, since almost everything about the titans comes down to: "Its magic."
@@UrosKovacevic91 idk if you've read the manga, but there's a fair bit of explanation coming up
@@sreenivas6071 like a glowing worm because.... magic?
16:29 my tears come every time. Armin’s scream to Eren, then we see the last moment Eren sees his friends. After this moment, they’re enemies. The MUSIC. It’s just utterly heartbreaking. So damn good.
Reiner telling eren his the armoured titan is the most casual thing I have ever seen. 😂😂
"Stop after this one" they said...
"The next one can't be worse" they said...
Little did they know xD
no matter how many times i watched this scene i still get goosebumps.
This is one of the most shocking revelation in the series, not because what they said it, It's because how they said it.
Also the timing. Just imagine thinking about Ymir being another titan, the Beast titan who can talk and how did the titans got behind the walls without destroying the wall then you have this big reveal all of a sudden.
exactlyyyyy dude
This is one of the best reaction I have ever seen. I really like how shock you both were and I think almost all people who have watched this episode did not unterstand at first glance what Reiner was talking about. I remenber that I tought that the subtitles was not correct or something went wrong. But then I realized this is actually true. What a twist! And you are right, they said that so casually! No big effect, no warning, just like this in one sentence almost in the background while Hanji was also talking. This will give a new dynamic to this show and show us all the layer and the dimensions of this masterpiece. Even if you had a clue about Reiner, your reaction was truly amazing but don"t worry, you will not be able to foresee everything that will happen
From now, if you look at some scenes of the 1st season, you will understand more and more things waiting for all the pieces to gather in order to riddle out all the secrets of this show. And this is specificly why I like this show and his writing and the storyline so much, it because it has so many layers and is so deep. After the end of the season 2, you could have a new look on the 2 previous season and notice some small clues. After the end of the season 3, you could then again rewatch the season 1, 2 and 3 and discover new things! And this is truly amazing to think that so many things were hidding in some very casual scene or dialogue which are, in reality, very important information at the end!
I can't wait to see the end of this season with you and your journey within the season 3
Trust me, the best is ahead :) and this is the best part for you

the suprise reveal from reiner and brandon was insane. what an episode
bertoto was one of my faves.
"who cares what Hanji said!" LOL
I will never not appreciate the way they did the reveal. It completely breaks the brain of anyone watching lol.
And there are so many details in the episode! The reflections on the water, the red flags, and the way everybody is framed is amazing to rewatch
Agreed!
@@soffiapiano There is insane foreshadowing in season 1 aswell. This is in my opinion the best villian reveal in any form of fiction ever. I mean a lot of people probably expected reiner to be the armored titan, but it was done in such a masterful way.
@@mambaforever9593 yes! Rewatching S1 after this episode makes everything Reiner & Bertholdt said and did, and even how they looked at each other be shown in a completely different way. Like when the military was about to shoot Eren and Reiner panicked and went to see for himself.
@@mambaforever9593 I knew those 3 were titans since almost the beginning of the season but yet the reveal was so powerful and well done...
Goddamn I miss that feeling of finding out the first time.
That sadly only works one time
"Why do you need the key to the basement like how hard is it to open the door?"
Levi: Not very.
It’s crazy to rewatch this after watching it through. We HAD zero idea what he was saying when he said “I’m a warrior”
Watching first time reactions of the legendary 2x06 will never get old. Especially the "wait what did he just say" face gets me everytime.
Look at all these simps soft spoiling future episodes lmaoo
Fortunately they don’t read yt comments, only Patreon ones
@@jeffzheng6372 that's great news bro, thanks for sharing.
Although, I fear that the more dedicated simps are in their Patreon 😂🤣 either way... even though I'm mad, there is no helping it.
So, I'll try and enjoh the reactions as much as I can
I dont think being a simp has anything to do with spoiling. If someone really likes them they would want them to enjoy the show without spoilers
