@@LuisSierra42 i can definitely understand his perspective, like there's certainly nothing wrong with love stories at all, **insert koroto comment about monkey brain liking love stories** but they most definitely did not have a place in THIS story
I was hoping you would mention this part. The final rush of horses, everyone screaming, and Zeke's remark: "All that screaming. What good is it going to do you?" Then, seeing Levi in the air, Zeke does the same-he screams. And it doesn't help him at all! I love that part.
I love how both the screaming and the smoke grenades were instrumental for letting Levi kill half the titans without him noticing, and he never saw it coming, and thought they were just crazy.
To be honest there weren't any bad episodes, there were some slow ones for sure, but all of them served a purpose one way or another. Amazing that this show has every episode rated 8.0 or higher on IMDB.
This anime should be a template for future ones. They didn’t waste a single second of our time. Every scene served a purpose from beginning to end. This is a 100% fact cuz in the 3 times I watched from beginning to end I never felt the need to pick up my phone.
20:14 Funfact : In the manga the scene cuts at the titans charging at Levi and people didn't know his fate for 7 MONTHS until he appears again sliding on the wall chasing Pieck/Zeke which just happens next episode but anime viewers never had any doubt he may have died
@@ArDeeMee If I remember correctly, manga readers were even wondering whether Levi had enough gas/blades which is why I assume they added Levi's dance with the titan to make the viewers not worry about him (it was gonna be a week worth of wait so not much anyways lmao)
Huh, I didnt remember that. I haven't read that part in 8 years now I think. Didn't know the scenes were re-structured for the anime like the first part of Season 3 was.
And as a small detail, Korotos, the narration actually stops because of Armin being literally cooked to a crisp by Bertholdt. Which is an awesome detail by Isayama to tell you he is the narrator, ever since S1 and the narration of "To You, in 2000 Years: The Fall of Shiganshina, Part 1", Armin had literally remained the narrator throughout the story, which, is an awesome detail Isayama added for a character.
I felt the reason Marlo is wondering why he is “all the way out here” was because he finally realised he should have stayed an MP instead of dying meaninglessly thinking he could do something grand.
"Hey korotos ,I’ve been following your Attack on Titan over-analysis videos, and I’m truly impressed by the level of detail and thought you put into them. Your breakdowns and theories add so much depth to the series and always leave me eagerly waiting for more. Thanks for enriching my experience with AoT!"❤
My headcanon for why Eren was surprised when he fell, is that he did legit slip. So the plan had to go off like 30 seconds sooner than he expected. My evidence. None. I just find it kinda funny of them needing to spring the plan after a minor mess up.
It really is a contrast between Erwin and Armin that should drive home who deserved to survive and why. One was fighting for everyone who had died, to give meaning and purpose to all those sacrifices. The other was fighting for everyone who was still alive, hoping for the day when no more sacrifices would be needed.
Something I noticed from the moment I began watching this series, is that it’s clear you edit your own videos. Them come across as “complete” if that makes sense, like you got the episode to look and sound the way you wanted it too. I can almost feel the time and effort you put into these videos, and your passion for the series. It’s like art in a sense. Well done, and you made me rewatch AoT in 4 days 😭
To me, the reused animation is just a show that his form is so consistent that we wouldn't notice anyway. Zeke has to tell us when he's doing something different.
I always felt like reineirs brief amnesia around 24:35 actually makes perfect sense. The way I look at it, his brain in his human form is being reconstructed after having his head blown off so it makes sense to me he wouldn't be able to think clearly. Since at that point he's back to being a barely reconstructed human controlling his titan.
I also love the shot of him, just looking at the distance. Maybe looking at the monke/enemy. Just shows me what kind of truly amazing commander he is 😢
When marlow said "What am I doing all the way out here", the japanese is "だからだ、なんで俺今ごろ". That is pretty hard to translate so I'll try my best. Da kara obviously means because. Ore ima goro means I right around this time. Nande means why obviously. So "Therefore, why around this time am I..." The The thing that he was going questioning about doesn't really exist so its up to us to decide. The all the way out here I feel like was an attempt to try and localise it better to english. I hope this gives a better understanding of what marlow said
So regarding "the ground" comment @ 16:42, or more specifically "they also forgot trees..." Remember, Zeke purposefully positioned himself somewhere the scouts wouldn't have any large trees or buildings to use their ODM gear. And consequently, that lack of trees was a primary factor in Erwin making the decision to lead the recruits on that last charge. Ultimately, they needed a realistic way to distract Zeke while Levi used his own Titans to close the distance.
Oh, I think you misunderstood me, I didn't mean the trees around Zeke (as you say, there were no trees around Zeke), I meant the trees by the wall itself. Right alongside the buildings, there's a whole bunch of trees that just aren't there in the backgrounds of the Zeke scene 😄 The flare smoke obstructs our view most of the time (because we're not mean to look there lmao), but if you really look closely, the background is just the plain wall and that's it.
@@Koroto Ah, definitely my misunderstanding! I'll never unsee that now lol. On another note, been following this series no later than the second or third video and I rewatch every episode whenever I see a new upload from you. Can't believe we're coming up on the final season soon. Keep killing it man
I always appreciated Zeke's philosophy being explored because it's what I consider to be the most damaging and least helpful end result of where my own personal journey could've ended up, and find it just fascinating exploring a character who gave in to that feeling of hopelessness and despair that comes from living. In my heart I truly believe even if most of life is suffering, the quality of that positivity, connections and joy outweighs the suffering and makes it worth pushing forward
I like to imagine that in realtime levi vs zeke literally took maybe 5 seconds tops "is that lev- my ne-!?! my e-! [falls] what is hap--" _cut out of his titan_
I put all my bets on Armin way back in season one, episode 5. He was and has been my favorite character of the series. I was absolutely devastated when this episode aired. My sweet little, somewhat sus nerd. He gave it his all. I couldn't even be mad he got to go out in a literal blaze of glory. So when he got to come back I was so happy. I've been eager to see this episode analyzed and I was not disappointed. As always I enjoy these and look forward to the next one!
My favourite episode of all of AoT, including the final specials. They might be my 2nd or 3rd place though. I can't believe you got so far already in your videos. We are almost in the final season...amazing...
I think zeke's funny baseball mode is a bit more than just.. Funny mode.. It's in fact his coping mechanism. Like ksaver said, he's a decent person, he doesn't care for war game. The only reason he plays his role is so he can save everyone (and yes I'm a zeke stan). Zeke doesn't want to do it, he has to. He hates seeing others die, even if it's for the greater good. He just had to make himself get more fun out of it to be able to do it. He's using his favorite sport/thing in his life to cope with the fact he's doing something he doesn't want to. Besides that he's constantly reminding himself he's doing it for the sake of everyone. As he later says in s4e1 he truly thinks war is a terrible thing
Literally was stalling watching this video because I KNEW it would gut-punch me all over again. Just goes to show how amazing this story is & how amazing your breakdowns are because I still cried. And I already loved Armin but the way you broke down his character...just, bravo. I swear every upload makes me want to rewatch the anime & I've already seen it multiple times.
Love your work. Amazing work seriously! One thing that is so cool when Levi is questioning Zeke there’s symmetry in Levi telling Zeke it’s impolite not to answer a question. That’s the same thing Zeke said to Miche. However now he is the powerless one?👨🏾🍳
I swear, after having followed this series since episode 7, being this close to the basement reveal is making me feel like Erwin. Love you, Korotos. This series and your analyses live rent free in my head.
here a little neat detail, the title use the word 勇者(yuusha) means hero but also can be translated into "the brave". tied it perfectly into eren last sentence in episode telling armin is the bravest one
24:45 him not remembering what’s going on makes total sense cause he just got his head blown off and you can see that it’s still regenerating so his brain isn’t fully repaired yet
He's actually the hero on the side of the world, the world outside of marley, the background civilians, whether it's Eldian, marleyan or any other nationality/race. He's fighting for their freedom The "enemy" in this case is marley, who in fact want the founder to gain more power. Bertholdt, Reiner and pieck could be the heroes for them, but zeke does not align with any of them.
For Trost my headcannon is he can steam his bones, he just cant control it once he does, so its an all or nothing thing at that point, which is why he never uses it while wanting to remain a titan
Recently found your channel. Having watched the whole series more than i can count on my fingers, it is one of my favourites of all time by far. Your videos are a great dissection and explanation of the series and make me realise things even I didn’t notice despite my many rewatches. Going to rewatch after binging some more of your videos. Good stuff Subbed and keep up the awesome work my man.
the one thing that i dont like from the charge scene is that nobody in the scouts except for floch stayed low to their horses. erwin made the point of having a smoke screen to decrease his accuracy but didnt mention that making yourself a smaller target would increase your odds of survival and the one person we see doing it actually did survive
even after watching this series so many times, i enjoy watching this breakdown honestly. it’s an anime that lives deep in my heart so i appreciate that you continuing to make these
In Italian dub Marco says “why am I thinking about it right now?” Implying that he is thinking about hitch’s situation while he is basically dying in 2 seconds. His last thought isn’t about his life, it’s about her. Nice touch if I have to say.
These videos mean so much to me and my nightly routine. Really appreciate the content man! Hope you can continue posting these AOT breakdowns consistently, that'd be amazing.
The sound i had when i saw my favorite overanalyze channel post the episode I've been waiting for years. Next episode I'm looking forward is Eren telling Reiner he's just like him in Marley before killing everyone. I'll still watch every episode inbetween of course
About the Colossal titan, random thought, what if it takes effort to vaporize the bones, like he had basically just transformed when he did that. But when Eran attacked him, he had already used up a lot of steam. (Pun intended)
Really enjoy the new format here, cutting with your reaction really adds to the humor/dread. My boy Armin is so underrated. He's really is the definition of selfless despite it all. That is a feat not anyone can do because it is much harder to protect than attack. He fights for the future and that's why he's the hope of this entire show.
hey, i usually don't have anything to say, but i've been following this series for a while and i'm thankful that you took a bit of time to show some understanding for bertholdt. he's an easy character to dismiss because he's an antagonist who's character development is so paltry in amount that the profoundness of it gets overlooked. i really believe that he's a diamond in the rough; and thanks to you, maybe others will see it, too.
When Bertholdt was cooking Armin alive and looked at Eren's titan, I think his titan looks just a bit shinier than normal skin would look like. I'm not sure if it's the lighting, fire, or the screen I watched it on but it sure looked like that was Eren's titan hardening
Thank you for your insane hard work on these!! I watched/listened to them and finally I'm up to date 😅 One thing I wish you noticed/ mentioned is Marlo thinking Hitch is still sleeping (because he doesn't know she was into him and he just realized that he liked liked her)but in reality, Hitch couldn't sleep because she was worrying about Marlo. 💔💔💔
Next episode is my favorite actually. Ohh that tough decision making you had to do even as a viewer, really got me anxious. Eagerly waiting for your next drop Korotos.
On the topic of Armin not being supposed to survive all those injuries, while yes they definitely are fatal humans are also weirdly resilient creatures, so I can definitely see him surviving long enough until he gets his shot.
Dude that Dany forgot about the Iron Fleet really pissed me off with D&D, when she was talking about sinking his fleet an EP earlier. I love the Dragon Queen Daenerys Targaryen!
for reference of Levi's speed, those 9 cuts in one frame equate to roughly 216 cuts/slashes per second. Given how well trained he is too, that means that Levi could probably cut through and break every single bone in the human body with individual cuts in less than a second.
Quick Note, fantastic analysis - been hooked on this series since day 1. Armin never made it beyond the walls. Non of Erens generation of scouts did, until after this fight
I watched this yesterday with my friend. I've watched erwin charge 5 times already but it feels more heartbreaking every itteration and yesterday I cried
I kinda get reiner forgetting about the thunderspears. If your head got practically blown off you'd probably have a rough time recalling what just happened too
The idea of aparadies island for Eldians is great. If they didnt remove the memorys so they wont go outside the walls to fight the titans they would have been fine ?
Nah. Cause marleyans would have eventually attacked, just like they did. The truth is the king didn't care if all of his people where killed in ignorance
@@ezflow5819 that was "coincidental". My point is even if grisha had died before reaching paradis, marley still wanted to attack paradis to get the founding's powers
I thought that Reiner was actually the one who said “keep moving forward” and that this was revealed in a flashback in season four to when they were all training together in season one.
10:00 kowalski here, Floch used a move called.. Thinking, blocking and evading. As you can see in the frames of Marlow getting hit in the head, you can see floch "falling"/ducking to the side, turning the horse so it's head would directly be in front of his. So besides lowering himself, he makes himself smaller and even puts up a barrier that may reduce the impact enough. Yes floch is the only one that even tried to survive here.
@@amongusus47825 well yes, he said so himself basically in the previous episode.. But he's also the only one that used their brain and tried to survive
I was confused in my 3rd or 4th on how did Zeke know about the Reiss family being a family of royal blood. Reiner and Burrito probably didn't even know about the Reiss family before their betrayal, Annie probably did but I'm sure she never knew about them having royal blood. So how did Zeke know? At 2.25 you said you'd get to it in season 4 so I'll wait if i have to, but if possible, would you kindly explain?
If I were to take a guess, it's intel from Ymir. That's the first person Historia revealed herself to, as well as the one who secretly knew about her background all along. Given everything she's discussed and asked the warriors, they should be aware of what the hidden heritage means.
So, about the bone-fast-desapearing issue, we know that shifters can transform based on their need. We have seen Eren growing a powerful arm supported only on bones to stop the canon bullet and Rainer building an unarmoured titan to fast save Galiard. We can assume that based on need, Bertolt chose to build a body that would have been well-bone-supported around the leg that he used to kick the gates but would only stand on really weak and empty bone ( or even only muscle) from his leg on. After all, he knew he would need his titan for barely 5 seconds, different from return to shiganshina, where he knew he would need to stand a flight for a long time.
The fall of Zeke mirrors the fall of Marley. Just when they thought they could end the war, their fallacy was opened to them in the harshest way possible
My head-canon of the colossal steam is that he hast to keep the bones to be able to keep using the titan and walking but he could choose to burn them and that’s how he disappeared in season one.

@@Korotoi am happy you covered this episode, its one of the hardest ones next to the marley reveal
I don't think that was Isayama's Choice, probably the director's.
24:34 if you've ever been knocked out by a strong hit, it makes sense. Your short term memory is toasted for a hot minute afterwards.
plus he got his whole brain exploded, so I always just figured the amnesia was due to the titan powers still rebuilding it.
and if the knock out happens around the head area it can cause long term memory loss
The amount of physical trauma Reiner is put through in the entire series if frankly insane!
@@ArDeeMee you can add mental and emotional to that list lol. He's honestly one oft he best characters.

I was cheering and fighting back tears when Levi engaged Zeke. I was literally on my feet screaming.
Deam relatable
Nerd💀
Most hyped moment in fiction
This moment was so hype fr. I got goosebumps watching it. (Still do rewatching it)
When marlow said "What am I doing all the way out here", the japanese is "だからだ、なんで俺今ごろ". That is pretty hard to translate so I'll try my best. Da kara obviously means because. Ore ima goro means I right around this time. Nande means why obviously. So "Therefore, why around this time am I..." The The thing that he was going questioning about doesn't really exist so its up to us to decide. The all the way out here I feel like was an attempt to try and localise it better to english. I hope this gives a better understanding of what marlow said
So regarding "the ground" comment @ 16:42, or more specifically "they also forgot trees..." Remember, Zeke purposefully positioned himself somewhere the scouts wouldn't have any large trees or buildings to use their ODM gear.

The author confirmed that the "vanishing" is an ability.
Just got back from 4 hours of job searching and can't wait to devour this
Get a job already
Did you get one yet?
For the next episode, note that armin doesn't narrate it, so to give the suspense to whether Armin survived or not
20:04 apparently that titan and the one beside it were supposed to be joke replicants of mikasa and eren. Or their voice actors. Im not sure which.

In Italian dub Marco says “why am I thinking about it right now?” Implying that he is thinking about hitch’s situation while he is basically dying in 2 seconds. His last thought isn’t about his life, it’s about her. Nice touch if I have to say.
These videos mean so much to me and my nightly routine. Really appreciate the content man! Hope you can continue posting these AOT breakdowns consistently, that'd be amazing.
Another one done.....U R THE HERO among us AOT fans❤
This is the episode that solidified armin as the best character in the series imo.
Tho Sasha is a close second. RIP
Honey, wake up...
The sound i had when i saw my favorite overanalyze channel post the episode I've been waiting for years. Next episode I'm looking forward is Eren telling Reiner he's just like him in Marley before killing everyone. I'll still watch every episode inbetween of course
About the Colossal titan, random thought, what if it takes effort to vaporize the bones, like he had basically just transformed when he did that. But when Eran attacked him, he had already used up a lot of steam. (Pun intended)
i’ve been binging these non stop for weeks and now i’m all caught up i don’t know what to do with my life… I can’t wait for the next one!!
Really enjoy the new format here, cutting with your reaction really adds to the humor/dread.
My boy Armin is so underrated. He's really is the definition of selfless despite it all. That is a feat not anyone can do because it is much harder to protect than attack. He fights for the future and that's why he's the hope of this entire show.
Hey man seeing this video dropped today made my afternoon. Love your work bro 💪🏽.
Here lies Erwin Smith: He tried so hard, and got so far.....
In the end the basement is all that matter~
@@dzikripratama3776 😎
He had to fall,
and lose it all.
But in the end
The basement really mattereddddd.
Levi scene might be the best scene in all of anime, just re-watched for like the 100th time and still hits the same
24:04 it's my wallpaper since 2019 I LOVE IT!
i remember watching the first episode of this series around when the anime ended and couldn't wait for you to get to this episode.
hey, i usually don't have anything to say, but i've been following this series for a while and i'm thankful that you took a bit of time to show some understanding for bertholdt. he's an easy character to dismiss because he's an antagonist who's character development is so paltry in amount that the profoundness of it gets overlooked. i really believe that he's a diamond in the rough; and thanks to you, maybe others will see it, too.
Thank you for the video!
I finished watching the entire retrospective this morning, I go to sleep and there’s a new video; hell yeah.
Thank you for your work man.
Just finished AoT a couple weeks ago, and I’m just excited even more for these episodes
When Bertholdt was cooking Armin alive and looked at Eren's titan, I think his titan looks just a bit shinier than normal skin would look like. I'm not sure if it's the lighting, fire, or the screen I watched it on but it sure looked like that was Eren's titan hardening
I remember seeing Josh Grelle at Florida Supercon right after the dub of this ep aired. He got a standing ovation at his panel.
Last few weeks I found this series and it’s been great to watch this
Thank you for your insane hard work on these!! I watched/listened to them and finally I'm up to date 😅
One thing I wish you noticed/ mentioned is Marlo thinking Hitch is still sleeping (because he doesn't know she was into him and he just realized that he liked liked her)but in reality, Hitch couldn't sleep because she was worrying about Marlo. 💔💔💔
Next episode is my favorite actually. Ohh that tough decision making you had to do even as a viewer, really got me anxious. Eagerly waiting for your next drop Korotos.
Jesus man, your million names for berthold just has me every time with each new one
Paradeisos - a royal, enclosed park... a walled garden.
On the topic of Armin not being supposed to survive all those injuries, while yes they definitely are fatal humans are also weirdly resilient creatures, so I can definitely see him surviving long enough until he gets his shot.
Dude that Dany forgot about the Iron Fleet really pissed me off with D&D, when she was talking about sinking his fleet an EP earlier. I love the Dragon Queen Daenerys Targaryen!
for reference of Levi's speed, those 9 cuts in one frame equate to roughly 216 cuts/slashes per second. Given how well trained he is too, that means that Levi could probably cut through and break every single bone in the human body with individual cuts in less than a second.
Quick Note, fantastic analysis - been hooked on this series since day 1. Armin never made it beyond the walls. Non of Erens generation of scouts did, until after this fight
Paradise being pronounced 'Parody' really feels like it should have stood out to me more
I watched this yesterday with my friend. I've watched erwin charge 5 times already but it feels more heartbreaking every itteration and yesterday I cried
I kinda get reiner forgetting about the thunderspears. If your head got practically blown off you'd probably have a rough time recalling what just happened too
Oh boy my favorite character arc. Levi giving Zeke PTSD.
The idea of aparadies island for Eldians is great.
If they didnt remove the memorys so they wont go outside the walls to fight the titans they would have been fine ?
Nah. Cause marleyans would have eventually attacked, just like they did. The truth is the king didn't care if all of his people where killed in ignorance
@@AIMalek but only after grisha went for his mission
@@ezflow5819 that was "coincidental". My point is even if grisha had died before reaching paradis, marley still wanted to attack paradis to get the founding's powers
@@ezflow5819 Ethnostates are always a bad idea…
I thought that Reiner was actually the one who said “keep moving forward” and that this was revealed in a flashback in season four to when they were all training together in season one.
We'll get to that 👀
@@Koroto 😖🤧🤐
KEEP IT UP KORO!!!!
Will do! 🙇♂️
@@Korotowhere’s the next part of the Moria video you posted.🙏
I love this series so much man you are the best
10:00 kowalski here,
Floch used a move called.. Thinking, blocking and evading. As you can see in the frames of Marlow getting hit in the head, you can see floch "falling"/ducking to the side, turning the horse so it's head would directly be in front of his. So besides lowering himself, he makes himself smaller and even puts up a barrier that may reduce the impact enough. Yes floch is the only one that even tried to survive here.
Floch is coward confirmed
@@amongusus47825 well yes, he said so himself basically in the previous episode.. But he's also the only one that used their brain and tried to survive
this thumbnail is goated i already know the videos gonna be great
I just watched your last episode during My workout last night, knowing that another video was coming soon. This is a blessing🥹
Last episode and Erwin's charge is very fitting for a workout! 😄
Hope you enjoy!
this episode is absolutely goated levi vs zeke is generational but armin's death made me cry so much
perfect game, hero, and midnight sun are the best trio of episodes in fiction.
where the climax meets the resolution
It was already a good day, but now I get to hear korotos while at work. Peak Shift!
Hange rose from the ashes, but she also went out in a blaze of glory. Essentially living on borrowed time due to Moblit pushing her down the well.
I was confused in my 3rd or 4th on how did Zeke know about the Reiss family being a family of royal blood. Reiner and Burrito probably didn't even know about the Reiss family before their betrayal, Annie probably did but I'm sure she never knew about them having royal blood. So how did Zeke know? At 2.25 you said you'd get to it in season 4 so I'll wait if i have to, but if possible, would you kindly explain?
Zeke might have learned this from Dina, when she and Grisha were teaching him eldian history. Dina was a royal after all and she knew a lot
If I were to take a guess, it's intel from Ymir. That's the first person Historia revealed herself to, as well as the one who secretly knew about her background all along. Given everything she's discussed and asked the warriors, they should be aware of what the hidden heritage means.
So, about the bone-fast-desapearing issue, we know that shifters can transform based on their need. We have seen Eren growing a powerful arm supported only on bones to stop the canon bullet and Rainer building an unarmoured titan to fast save Galiard. We can assume that based on need, Bertolt chose to build a body that would have been well-bone-supported around the leg that he used to kick the gates but would only stand on really weak and empty bone ( or even only muscle) from his leg on. After all, he knew he would need his titan for barely 5 seconds, different from return to shiganshina, where he knew he would need to stand a flight for a long time.
Levi is the goat. I stopped worrying about the possibility of his death from this episode on up until the explosion
The fall of Zeke mirrors the fall of Marley. Just when they thought they could end the war, their fallacy was opened to them in the harshest way possible
Reiners balls mentioned 🎉
I like to think of Levi and Zeke as a call to David vs. Goliath except with ODM gear instead of a slingshot lol
My head-canon of the colossal steam is that he hast to keep the bones to be able to keep using the titan and walking but he could choose to burn them and that’s how he disappeared in season one.
Hitch so cute, so glad she survived the show ❤
