** It's also subtly implied with Reiner as the crew mentions that he's always the one who jumps in to the most dangerous situations with Bertolt muttering that it's a bad habit of his.

** The conversation that Bertolt has, wherein he mentions that Reiner used to be more of a Warrior then a Soldier, will become a lot more relevant to Reiner's character arc later on in this season.

to:

** Ymir and Reiner's conversation about the herring can is particularly noticeable because herring is a fish found only in salt water, yet ''both'' of them know what herring is despite in theory never seeing the sea since no one within the Walls has been there in decades.
** The conversation that Bertolt has, wherein he mentions that Reiner used to be more of a Warrior "warrior" then a Soldier, "soldier", will become a lot more relevant to Reiner's character arc later on in this season.

** Another subdued one comes from Reiner when he looks at the unreadable can Ymir idly notes is labelled "herring". Keep in mind that herring is a ''saltwater'' fish that in theory ''no one'' who lives within the Walls should know about since they haven't seen the sea, yet Reiner is more surprised she could read the can than about a fish he shouldn't know exists.
-->'''Reiner''': How do you know this says 'herring'?

* CruelToBeKind: When Connie starts recounting what happened to his village and the idea that the Titan sitting on his house reminds him of his mother Ymir seemingly starts acting insensitive by making crude jokes until Connie tells her to drop it.

* HopeSpot: At first it seems like the various members of the Survey Corps can hold off the majority of the Titans as they kill the larger ones despite being low on gas and blades. Then their horses corpses are thrown at their feet and a piece of the wall destroys the upper part of the tower [[RedShirt killing Lynne and Henning]]. Nanaba and Gelger then realise that the initial attack was just stage one and that another horde, twice the size of the first, is planning on tearing the tower down.
