I'd still choose armin... You can see Erwin's looks like mentally exhausted...
I would definitly choose Erwin. But he seems to already given up on his dream to go to the basement after the personal conversation he had with Levi. But i also feels bad for Armin, if he could talk at that moment, Armin would definitely agreed on giving the syringe to Erwin just like Levi
Erwin, armin is soft
Armin!
Erwin, the experience and leadership.
Erwin was the perfect character cause throughout the show it was implied that Erwin "Sacrificed" his comrades just to get to the basement to prove his fathers theory. But in the end he gave it all up and sacrificed himself even though he was SO CLOSE to the answers
Although to be fair he went half of the way there (although more like 2/3) wich is still pretty commendable, his guilt wasn't enough to make him order levi to go while he and the scouts distracted zeke but was enough to left him defeated by the 2 things he wanted the most at that moment confirming his father's truth and not wanting to waste all of the lives he sacrificed wich made him delegate the choice to levi
Something that's outside of the scope of the situation and we don't know is if he had the opportunity to choose between levi or hange (who ranks over Levi), would he had left the choice to her or to levi, the person who fervently advocated for keeping him alive by not taking him to the mission or by throwing his life to let erwin escaping, or if the fact that levi could have gone for either of the 2 choices played a factor on him revealing that the suicide charge was an option, but ultimately it doesn't matter, what matters is that he took the first and third step towards the less selfish options they came up with at the moment
"Everyone needs something to push forward" for Erwin it was his dream that made all this possible.
Well no it wasn't implied it was outright stated he did all of it to get to the basement.
Poor Bert Rianer is sad man Ainne my love
RIP Moblit. Had Hanges back right to the very end.
His character arc is the flawless
yea...i didn't notice him when i watched for the first time but later when i rewatched, he seemed to be with Hange several occasion and supporting her...they are worth shipping i guess
Moblit's death is the last thing that Hange saw with the eye she lost. Sad af.
thats damn rite, the most underrated character, moblit a true chad
Best man
Isayama:So I killed Erwin..
Us : Yeah..
Isayama: and I also killed armin...
Us: Yeah that sucks...
Isayama: Now what if I made you choose between them?
Us: You f*cking writer.
RIP Commander Erwin, the best leader of all time. I’ll miss his revolutionary spirit. Of all people he, was the one who wanted to know the truth most.
Yes🙏🏿😩
"And in the end, when he had finally been set free from hell, we wanted to bring him back once more."
Such an incredibly emotional line. Levi realized that by bringing Erwin back, he was being selfish. It wasn't just about "the cause". He just didn't want to lose his friend. A very powerful moment from one of the greatest anime characters of all time.
Yeah I love how Levi has told people to let go of their emotions (he even tells Eren this when Eren insists on having Armin be injected) but in the very end, he also couldn't keep his emotions out of it and did what he thought was best for Erwin over what was best for the Scouts.
th-cam.com/video/QIES7ASzATk/w-d-xo.html
Spoiler:
Well I think he was more than a friend I really think he was the host he needed to protect and that is why.
@@MRST0R Spoiler cont:
I actually never though of that, but that is a very good point! Nice!
it wasnt that he didnt want to lose a friend, he wanted to bring erwin back for the good of humanity but in the end he thought erwin had had suffered enough
Episodes like these is what makes Attack on Titan such an incredible anime. Any other anime would've made the choice between "Main Character #2" and "Side Character #5," like the choices to be resurrected were Bakugo and Mineta. Obviously you'd pick Bakugo. But this show made the choice Bakugo or All-Might.
Haha I like the way you put that!
lol why do you have to put my boy Mineta in this situation
I wouldn't choose Bakugo. Mineta is a little annoying pervert that I can't stand, but Bakugo is a bully of the kind that makes other kids commit suicide.
It’s a tough choice sure but very predictable to who is surviving and who is not.
@@aemeth5418 bakugo is more needed as a hero than mineta tbh
Bertholdt even smiled when he saw eren and his friends cause he prob forgot what happened and was just happy to see them.
i dont think so, the short memory loss only happens at first transformation
Died at the height of his character development. I really liked Bertholdt. Rip
@@multechpro7151 he got his lims cut off eren in season 2 also didn't remember what happened. He asked if he won and reiner well he said ofc no. Losing that much blood is gonna effect your head and memories
When does he smile at them?
@@Breatherjones 17:03
Levi's emotional balance and ability to not take decisions based on personal feelings, emotions etc is on another level
it was ultimately personal feelings that made him choose Armin though.
Exactly! He didn't show any hate or annoy like he used to when they fought against him because he knew how they felt and he heard Armin talking about sea. He was also struggling you can tell by his Armin flashbacks
th-cam.com/video/QIES7ASzATk/w-d-xo.html
Levi says not to let emotions into it, but it was his emotions towards Erwin that steered his decision. He couldn't bear to bring Erwin back to hell like he said. He wanted Erwin to have peace.
@@zegsi364 No, it was made pretty clear further in following eps that he didn't decide that Armin should live, but rather that Erwin should die, out of personal compassion for Erwin. Not only did Levi admit that and make that clear to Armin and the rest, but even Floch and the rest of the military higher ups back within the walls where questioning that same irrational decision to sacrifice the commander over a lower ranked soldier, and Floch was completely right in that Levi, Eren & Mikasa treated the titan serum as if it's their own and made a emotionally-driven decision with it, rather than taking everyone else into account. Of course, since Erwin put the decision to use the serum under Levi's authority, no one can ultimately go against Levi's choice.
RIP to morgan's dilf. RIP #Erwin.
The funny thing about Sam saying that we've been with Armin for longer than Erwin, is the fact that Erwin's first appearence in the show was actually before Armin's lol
Yea But we got first properly introduced to Armin before Erwin. Erwin was just on the screen for a few seconds before Armin
@@danielquainoo407 I know, but I just thought it was a cool fact lol
@@exposureeee yeaa
Armin has more screen time
@@flux2956 Well... yeah, I know.
What impressed me about this work, or should I say, the creator, was how in the story, he depicted a situation in which the characters were forced to choose whether to let Erwin or Armin live, and at the same time, he forced the audience to choose as well. Should it be Erwin, a man of action who everyone has absolute faith in? Or Armin, who is inexperienced due to his age, but is full of creative ideas? It was cruel, but I was reminded of how, as we live, we constantly make decisions of varying significance in our everyday lives. It was a really thought-provoking episode.
th-cam.com/video/QIES7ASzATk/w-d-xo.html
nah man i was too hurt to decide on anything and at the same time i was so happy that atleast one of them is coming back.
"The bald guy" that really hurt. Poor bystander.
That just proves him right 😂😂, just a bystander untill the end
Context?

"Uncle Zeke.. F*ck Uncle Zeke. F*ck that guy bro!" - Morgan 2021😂. Sam over there feeling awkward about being happy that Armin got revived while Morgan suffers lol. Great catch about the overlap of Grisha and Zeke!! So many goodbyes, to best commander Erwin, to Bertolt who was in a shitty situation, and to one of my favs, Moblit. Was terrible to see him dying through Hange's eyes then having her glasses crack.
Lmaoooo I was feeling awkward being so happy about Armin 🤣😭😭 I’m sad Moblit is gone 🥲 -Sam
This legend died asking his teacher and wanting to know the truth, such a pure heart
Don't be afraid to say it Morgan, We loved Erwin cause he was a strong MAN what a leader
This episode is so heavy that they didn't put in the opening or any music up until the very end. Simply a masterpiece that hits hard every time.
u could call reiner the plot-armored titan lol
Nobody can kill Reiner. Even Reiner can't kill Reiner
Armin got even bigger plot armor lol
Well atleast i feel like it isnt forced plot armor and he survives in plausible ways
@@BenganGamer I think it was just s3 p2 where he got that rep, because of that weird consciousness transition thing that was only used in this season and never again. Otherwise he does survive in plausible ways. Good thing too, cuz he’s my fav
@@shyguyzx6685 i honestly dont think the way he can do that is far fetched personally as well but i do see why some people might see it like that
For me the most emotional part of this ep was Bertholdt's death. It reminded me so much of Marco's death....being eaten by a Titan in front of your comrades crying for help while they are just watching, not really understanding the situation...
For me atleast eren speech about armin
Are u want them to save him ?!
That is the only way
@@zegsi364 He finally put in the work carried the team on his back for a min and the team let him down.
MOBLIT all the way !
This episode is directed so good that people don't even realize that there's no opening in this episode until they finish it
"... at least Berthold died. Fuck that guy."
"You didn't find that, sad?"
"No. I didn't. I was *really* happy."
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've been waiting for this reaction since Morgan said Erwin was her favorite character all those weeks ago....
Bertholtd asking for help before death… that was sad. Its true he still considered them as friends
He said that in the final chat he had with armin so he 100% did think of them as his friends but his mission was absolute.
I was so happy to see him die. And where does he get off asking for help after he was about to kill them all.
@@kylereese5841lmao he woke up abruptly and was confused of what was going on, since he truly considers them his friends when he saw their faces he was relived. Then he remembered reality and called for annie and Reiner but no one was there. For a used to be brain washed kid forced into the role of mass murder by his oppressors to help his sick father, imo its pretty damn sad
@@kylereese5841 its pretty funny that humans love violence especially towards people they think are in the wrong.Just like that prick that killed grishas sister said. Though it’s pretty understandable why people do it
@@Endisfree_ He expected people he was about the kill and genocide, and had been killing all show to still be friends to him, enough to want to save him, that's just selfish and ignorant. You don't get to torment people brutally their whole lives, including like an hour ago and than expect them to still save you regardless of situation.
I never hated Berthold and Reiner 🥺🥺🥺
I hate Annie thou xD
@@macblink she cool why
I never hated any of the Warriors
@@dkstudiosonline7792 me too
I always hated them
I’m glad they chose Armin. Even though I’m sure the writer was obviously going to choose armin but made it this whole dramatic scene. But if Erwin would’ve lived everyone would hate him because he basically sent everyone to die imagine al those people’s family they would be upset because he survived but everyone else died. Also Erwin wanted to die there even if he wouldn’t get to see the basement. He rather die than stand upon all those dead bodies we saw before that died for his own dream. He couldn’t carry all that anymore.
Since watching you guys there’s been a few episodes I had been looking forward to that I feel were the most impactful in the series in terms of shock factor. Eren being eaten and his reveal as a titan, squad Levi being killed, Annie’s reveal, Ymir revealing herself, Reiners confession, Eren controlling the titans, discovering what happened to Grisha Yeager and these past two episodes. Been really fun watching this journey with you all. I can’t wait to see the rest!
Thanks for sticking by us 🥰🤍 -Sam
th-cam.com/video/QIES7ASzATk/w-d-xo.html
These 2 episodes are such a rollercoaster. I wish I could say the suffering ends, but the world is hell :'(
Then we’ll just keep moving forward
past 3. that erwin speech was legendary
A clarification for everyone. I think some ppl misunderstood that moment when Erwin raised his hand. He didn't "reject" the injection. He's having near-death hallucinations (raising his hand to ask his father-professor about other humans outside the walls). That's the only reason, his only fuel to keep moving forward and be an effective commander. The moment he knew the truth about this world, we would never know what he'll be like. Great reaction you guys, I really enjoyed it :D
Even till the end Moblit did all he could to keep Hange safe. ❤😭
I'm not sure if you guys noticed cause he was always in the background but the guy who saved hange has literally been in the show since the survey corps have been introduced. He has been with hange through everything and we've actually seen him loads of times throughout the show but because he was always just there next to hange you may not have noticed him and I just thought it was worth pointing out that Moblit is a character who has been a part of the story and actually as close to eren as the original levi squad throughout the whole series
And he died saving Hange. Legend.
I love how AOT depicts war. In reality, both sides lose.
(e.g. the war in Afghanistan)
Is that explain in season 4.
th-cam.com/video/QIES7ASzATk/w-d-xo.html
Afghanistan was basically two decades of wasting lives on both sides... for nothing.
Those 2 don’t even compare, only the Afghani’s were the victims, The US were invaders
I love the influence of Kenny's last words on Levi's decision
Everyone had to be drunk on something to keep pushing on, everyone's a slave to something... Erwin was driven by his dream to prove his father's theory, sacrificing countless comrades in the name of humanity when really it was for more selfish reasons. In the end, he sacrificed himself and his dream to give their side a fighting chance. In doing so he is also set free from his burden and is no longer "slave" to his dream. Levi recognizes this; when he tells Erwin to give up on his dream and die, Erwin smiles and thanks Levi. Similarly, if Erwin's motivation is the truth that the basement probably holds, his dream (and his purpose, if you will) ends with the basement.
For Armin, the thing he is drunk on, in Kenny's terms, extends past Erwin's. It extends beyond the basement, and beyond victory in war - the sea, and the freedom and hope for the future that it represents.
After taking great damage, the shifters experience temporary memory loss just like when Riner forgot about what was going on when his head blew up, so when Berth woke up and was asking everyone for help, he forgot about the war and he was asking them as his friends, which makes it even sadder..
I love the way this episode was directed. The no music until the end when Armin is back.
Honestly both Erwin and armin are equally needed
This shows despite being on death' door, he was still trapped in his nightmare. Finding the truth is everything Erwin was, it was his hell even though he walked through it willingly. Levi realized that and let him go
Fact : Erwin didn't reject levi offer, he just raised up his hand to ask the teacher
He rejected the offer by raising his hand to ask the teacher.
@@fffernsw4dl539 Nope
bertholdt was one of my favorite characters, his entire story is tragic
Out of all the 104th and the warriors unit Bertholdt was genuinely the most innocent… he never wanted to do any of this 😔
@@Senshi_o yes
The reason why Levi did not choose Erwin is because when Erwin found out Levi didn't get the beast titan, Erwin is going to kick his ass lol
true and real hahahah
@Aubazette you see Erwin immediately drop dead when Levi tell him he didn't kill the beast titan lol
Well if they still had Reiner they still wouldn’t be able to save both Armin and Erwin because they only had one injection
It doesn’t matter the amount of spinal fluid they intake which was pointed out in S4. They just couldn’t 50/50 Berthold.
SPOILER
I’m referring to Falco when he only had a small amount of wine with Zeke’s Spinal Fluid.
@@adam_clown well they didn’t know that lol
@@bulbizard2950 and they didn’t wanna risk it either
In Manga Levi Was Looking At The Erwin All The Time And Others Were With Armin …. This Shows How Levi Respect And Love Erwin Smith ….. He Is The Most Emotional Character In Attack On Titan but Only In His Heart Not On His Face …. 😞
I appreciate Sam feeling bad about Bert dying. Ik he's hated because of what he has done(which is completely understandable) but a lot of people just seem to brush off the fact that he had no choice either. Bert's death was indeed sad as well Rest easy Bertholdt
Agreed. Also, it seems like Bert forgot who he was before getting eaten by Admin. He looked at his previous friends and smiled at them thinking that they were going to save him. It seemed like he forgot what he had done.
I remember watching season 2 episode 12 when reiner and berthlodt are surrounded by titans and thought that that's the end for them and I felt sad coz I feel at that time they're just being used by the real enemy especially when bertholdt said "somebody find us" sort of thing
I feel sad for Bertold because he's forced to do everything he's done.
bro he did have a choice, idk why so many people fail to see this, he chose to kill thousands of people and his own friends for his familys safety, it sucks that his family was held hostage but he still made that choice, which was kind of a messed up choice, to put your family over the lives of thousands and your own friends, so he wasnt as innocent as yall make him to be, not only that but if all 3, including rainer and annie had allied with paradise, they would have stood a chance to bring down marley and save the other eldias if not their families, marley wouldnt have stood a chance with only 2 titans, and the intel from those 3, but they chose their families over everyone, and before u say anyone would do that, i know i wouldnt. I love my family but i would never be able to kill thousands to save them, and watch my own friend get eaten as he cries for mercy
@@letsgetit7566 Don't forget they destroyed the wall at first, even if they told them They can't trust them.
Erwin: the one who will later be remembered as a hero
Marlo: the one who wanted to be a hero and couldn't
Levi: the one who was a hero and failed
Armin: The one who wasn't afraid to be a hero
Great reaction btw :D
You guys are so fun to watch as reactors! lol. In terms of the choice, I agree that it should have been Armin. For two reasons: 1.) needing to be "drunk on something," and 2.) needing to think outside the box. They kept flashing back to Kenny saying "everyone had to be drunk on something." Well, they are on the verge of finding what Erwin has been seeking, and Erwin himself said he didn't know what he would do after he found it. Armin on the other hand still has a love for the outside world and a desire to explore and know it. But more importantly, regarding number 2, saving Erwin would have been the "conventional" choice, but as Armin said just before they found Reiner in the walls, if we don't think beyond conventional logic, then we can never gain the upper hand. The need to go beyond conventional thinking has been a theme since season 1.
So yeah, Armin was the right choice, but RIP the most goated commander who ever lived.
i love how both of you chose different choices in saving them ...btw you are safe to watch intro from next episodes u guys did a great job not looking at it till this episode because the intro also had clue that armin would become the colossal
erwin palmares:
1 knew there is a traitor ( annie)
2 he recruuuts the human stronger solder livaii
3 heee vouche for ereeen to be saved while everybody wanted to kill him
4 saved eren when he was cought between aromored titan hands in season 2
5he commaaand mission for yeaaars
6he did revolutionnary against the fakke kiiing
7he did the plan to beaat rod reiss mode biiig titant
8 heee did the plan in thiss war theee formationn in the shinganshina war ( protecting the horse telling eren to transform and go over the walls bc reiner to follow him )
9 find a plan to beaat a long shotter apetitan which was clearly impossible
10 for those who were saying that alot of people die under his command in the 3rd episode he did a speech to the recruits warning them that 70% of you gonna die in the 2 years so give up now or never they kneeew where they are
Ep 17/18 was rated 10/10 on IMD, the best in anime history
I still feel like Erwin would have been the smarter choice to bring back. Lotta stuff in S4 wouldn't have happened under Erwin's watch lol
Facts 💯
@Aubazette Armin's dream was to see the outside world, specifically the Sea, he basically achieves his dream but is able to keep on going just fine. There's no reason Erwin wouldn't be able to as well.
@Aubazette I agree with you! I love Erwin he's an amazing leader but he's a bit selfish and only wants to achieve his goal( humanity comes 2nd to his dream), i feel like after learning the truth maybe he wouldn't have the same motivation to lead
@@Tundra0stalker his dream wasn’t juste that, he wanted to discover the whole world not just the sea even if it was the main goal
@@MRST0R Yes, it was more than JUST the Sea, but the Sea was the personification/representation of that dream. Much like how Erwin wanted to know the Truth and it was represented (and contained in) the Basement.
RIP Bertoto... I felt so bad for him, man....
Thank you Kira for having a heart ♥️
Hope you get all the hands you want…
@@Senshi_o Just imagine being in the hands of a titan... aaaahhhh.. how wonderful would that be..
@@alfie9089 Lucky Bert… 😔
Fun fact:
There was no opening in this episode nor there was a Soundtrack played throughout the whole episode until levi made his choice
Floch and Levi called Erwin a devil because he was a leader who was able to send soldiers to die and kill when humanity dependant on it. He became a monster and pushed his humanity out when it was needed. Floch knew in order for humanity to survive they needed a devil to fight devils. In the larger narrative Erwin's death was fair because he himself send many people to die and told them to give up on their own dreams for the survival of humanity when in fact he was only looking to fulfill his own dream. That's why he felt like a fraud episode's ago before he had to lead his men into a suicide attack. He realized he had to give up on his dreams like he had forced so many others to do so. As he was never able to achieve his dream he was able to die true to his words and honorably. Although I get it, Erwin deserved to know the truth after everything they had fought and being so close. Erwin was definitely the better option between Armin and him. Erwin had the mental capacity of Armin, he had the leadership, and was able to suppress his humanity to achieve victory. In the end Erwin did deserve to die in peace and let the new generation, Armin, take over. Armin is basically a baby Erwin as he has shown the ability to suppress his humanity and has the intelligence.
No way in hell Armin is going to become like Erwin. He is just a crybaby for peace that will never happen...
@@DECENTcrew yes
@@DECENTcrew he loves AINNE she badass he weak
crazy arc huh lol, but good reaction guys, and r.i.p to a real one Commander Erwin, without him and his brain humanity wouldn't have come this far
loved this episode's reaction guys!
also thanks to the editor for tuning down the volume of the outro
Great episode...I hope they noticed the lack of background score till the last few moments
Emotional roller-coaster to say the least. I think the Colossal is more useful just because I can't imagine the Armored Titan beating the Colossal in a fight lol. And I agree watching Bertoldt die was still hard to watch even tho he's killed so many ppl.
Greatest anime ever! Yeah I said it....
Erwin should have lived but i get it we don't want to see him suffer more. let him rest in peace.
Remember either you die a "Hero" or you live long enough to see yourself as a "Villan"
It was remarkable to see the Armin/Erwin decision take place in real life on the couch as well.
Love the fact that the lack of music one thé épisode made the scenes so much more tense
Sam- it kinda hurt watching belthort die too
Morgan- fuck belthort I don’t even car
Me- yeah she’s becoming numb to the pain
You need people like Erwin in a war
The next episodes gonna change your whole perspective on the show. I know these are already recorded. But I am very excited and can't wait to watch your reaction to them. Love your reactions.
RIP commander Erwin! Shinzou sasageyoo!!!!
I can really see morgan's sadness actually both of them are! And I can see Morgan wants Erwin and wants both Erwin and armin to live,
because some reactor I see they were saying they can't choose and they r emotional but deep inside they really want Armin to live 😂😭✋because some said they can't choose and after that they will say Armin was a great choice but they still want Erwin too live tho but u can see at their eyes that they want Armin too live more and was glad Armin live lol they even say so lol some of em (btw maybe some will misunderstand me that I don't want Armin to live tbh I want Armin to live and I was glad but I want Erwin to live to as well, both of them ) so yeah.... But Morgan I really can see that she's really sad or emotional about Erwin's death unlike the others reactor I see
Something I only noticed now is an other reason why Levi chose Armin and not Erwin.
Of course there is the " why should we bring him back in hell " but the other thing is that Armin willingly let go of his dream of seeing the sea while Erwin needed Levi to tell him to forget his dream and die.
I think that's why Levi gives so much attention to Eren talking about going to the sea together etc. He was actually thinking about his last conversation with Erwin.
The last thing Hange saw with her left eye was the death of her most beloved comrade.
The simultaneous "oops sorry" in the beginning was so cute
Y'all are so calm I was dying watching this episode for the first time
When i watched this episode the first time around it felt like i lost a part of me. Erwin was my favorite character in the series. Probably in my top 5 in anime overall.
From here to s4, the lack of leadership in the scouts will make u sad.
Yes
13:10 For us, he is Erwin Smith but for new recruits, he is just their commander who got their entire squad killed and apparently that was his plan.
So it's obvious, anger would be your first reaction if you survived through all of this (In that moment he learned there's no glory, no meaning behind all this, just misery and despair)
Lmao the CLEAR difference in opinion on who to save cracks me up 😂😂
Also 2 years later re watching this. It’s hilarious to see the difference in emotions on armin being saved 😂😂
yeah these two last episodes are rough and with tough choices so yeah they are very emotional
After watching season 4, I'm personally glad we got to free Erwin from the suffering.
2 fun facts: there was no opening, also no soundtrack in the episode until the end. Brilliant.
The biggest mistake Levi did ever 😢
Right as I was wondering when y'all will upload the next aot reaction, this pops up. Been looking forward to this 🤠
I believe Levi understood at that exact moment that Erwin aspirations where only leading at a “dead end” to only find what was on the basement and prove his dad theory. But Armins aspirations were beyond that, what’s the sea, what’s after the sea…
Whether Armin or Erwin would've been the right choice strategically is debatable but Armin was the right choice morally.
Armis is useless until the end of the manga tho
i mean, when armin makes plans, they succeed and with minimal casualties. when erwin makes plans, the casualties always number in the double digits.
every one of erwins plans have always been "half of our force is a suicide charge, and the other half is actually fighting, while also probably still being on a suicide charge". meanwhile armin disables the colossal titan with one singular combat loss(several casualties to the transformation, but that wasnt avoidable), all while also dealing with the armored titan.
erwin has experience and gets results, but pyrrhic victories are not the mark of a brilliant strategist. i love erwin but i legit think the guys capabilities are overhyped, and armin is just better than erwin in every regard but confidence.
@@auqanova yes I agree with that. I still kinda think that both armin and erwin wouldve been the right choice strategically but I didnt want to say it cuz many people wouldve bashed me and it has some counter arguments. Like the fact that Armin did plans just as risky as Erwin and Erwin wouldve probably done the same damage to the ennemy since he wouldve inherited the colossal titan too. The choice had no point in terms of strategy cuz both person wouldve probably done the same but morally its a much more difficult question.
@@auqanova what can armin do against beast titan???
@@auqanova finished the manga and u will know how useless armin is
I meam we kinda see how eren fck him up in s4 zeke and eren outsmart him until the end
Leadership is what they need in s4 which armin dont know a single thing about
I'm just fascinated by how you girls didn't burst in tears
These 3 episodes had my grown ass man cry like a baby
everyone had to be drunk on something to keep pushing one is the theme of this episode. What being drunk on something for erwin was the basement and if hes done with that he MIGHT have no motivation but Armin exploring outside and infinite curiosity was his drunk on
Oh man, Sam is such an awesome open-minded person, i love her.
I think the reason why Levi choose Armin instead of Erwin is because his dream is reach the basement that's all. Levi aked him before what he gonna do after reaching the basement and Erwin said he not sure. All of Erwin life and everything he done is just because he want to see the truth of basement. But Armin is different, he had a further dream: see the ocean. That's why Levi choose Armin. Dying on chasing the dream is not a bad thing at all.
Erwin single handly defeated the titans. He deserves to know the truth 😢😢😢
Agreed, if anyone deserved the truth it was him :/
I think that what finally pushed Levi to chose Armin was Levi's own beliefs that "everyone is drunk on something." Erwin wanted to see the basement. It was his only REAL endgame. Armin wanted to see the WORLD. He wanted to see things beyond the walls and beyond the sea. He was more... ambitious than Erwin was. I feel like that realization pushed Levi to pick Armin in the end. That and Erwin literally slapping the syringe away.
I love the feel of this episode. No theme song, no music in the episode until the end.
Eren's voice actor is so good at crying he makes me cry so much in this episode
both Eren's are fucking incredible this episode
Armin's survival was pure fanservice, he was charred and it would have killed him for sure, even if he had survived the hot steam from the Colossal, he fell at least 50 meters high (164 ft) and surely would have died!
If he hadn't been given the vial, he would have died. It's not as if he survived and would have recovered, it's just that he hadn't yet died when they got to him. He might have lingered on until dying horribly even up to days later, but without the injection Armin would surely have died.
@@DigiCount But that's exactly what I said, there is no possibility that he stayed alive long enough to receive the injection of titan fluid, because he was charred and falls from very high, both would certainly have killed him. And the fluid only takes effect and those who are still alive.
@@lucasmedeiros9593 it's not exactly what you said. Dying doesn't mean dying instantly, and it's highly probable that he wouldn't have died instantly, even if he would have died unavoidably. TV gives a very unrealistic impression of how easy it is to kill someone instantly.
@@DigiCount Are you telling me that it is possible to survive falling from 50 meters after being charred? ok then... lol
@@lucasmedeiros9593 no, I'm telling you that it is possible not to die immediately after. You might die an hour after, or a couple hours after.
“This is a cruel world.” No truer words were ever spoken that fit a show so well. Rewatching the show, it’s so damn tragic for Reiner, Bertholdt and, Annie. Like Reiner said in Warrior: “We were just kids. How were we supposed to know?” 🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭
hange and levi are the only vetren left which breaks my heart. they lost a lot of their friends and comrades. and now they lost Erwin.
Going to the basement was only his dream. But that’s why, compared to Armin’s dream, and eyes seeing hope, i could understand why Levi chose Armin.. that is sad and beautiful scene. Thank you guys, love you both from Japan^^
So you think now that these rollercoaster of emotional episodes have passed and you are done? Nooo the show has other idea. You are not on rollercoaster, you are in deep sea mission.
This is still such an emotionally draining episode. 10/10!
This episode makes me cry when I first watched
I hoped they would save Erwin but it coudn't happened because (no spoilers don't worry) if Erwin was alive, the next of the story (season 4) would lost all his complexity because "problems" would have been resolved faster and easier with Erwin.
facts.
in this episode we can know how vile and evil Hajime isayama is, he makes us hope and then despair and there is hope again and ends with more despair, how can that psychopath make us choose between armin and erwin, he is really crazy .
Always remember he didn't chose Armin over Erwin, he just set Erwin free
After playing rdr2 , tlou2 and watching aot nothing can hurt me
I feel emotionally immortal
