Shingeki no Kyojin/Attack on Titan (Manga Discussion)

Wow, the Shingeki merchandising staff really hates Armin.

The next Ichiban Kuji has a figure set based on this picture◊.

All the characters in the picture gets an figure in the next kuji, except for Armin.

I figured at the very least based on his relationship to Eren that Grisha would probably be on the CMP's most wanted list, if not for anything they believe he himself has or knows.

Poor Armin.

Lemuel Gulliver.

Kyojin?◊

Ah, Gulliver's Travels. Such a disgusting and snarky book, to be sure.

So apparently the smartpass stuff has an interview with the Beast Titan. I hope we eventually get a summary/translation.

So, that big Colossal Titan statue is now on sale. For 700 bucks.

Looks too angry to be Bert. Maybe it's foreshadowing of future manga event when Wall Colossal Titans wake up and break out of the wall.

And the countdown begins again. Predicts for this upcoming chapter?!

I bet Isayama is going to be nasty, and we won't get back to what is going on with Eren and Historia for a bit longer. Keep us guessing.

Funny, I was thinking this whole chapter would be an infodump mostly focused on Eren and Historia, with Erwin's execution and the political drama being saved for the climax next chapter.

Boredom triggered playing with format on the character page again. Any opinions on the 104th page, which I'll change back if it sucks?

I figured with the upcoming second season, it would be worth tweaking to better prevent people from spoiling big stuff for what is coming. I also want to go back through and change it so first-season stuff doesn't call Ymir by name since the anime just calls her "Freckles". Thoughts?

(Yes, I am insane.)

Hmm... it looks a little cluttered. Why don't we do what some other character pages have done and institute a "no spoiler tagging" policy on the 104th page? We could combine all the various sections and tropes, and anyway the main character page already warns anime-only viewers to stay away.

Good point. Might just be easier in the long run, instead of having to go back and try to decide when something happened long enough ago for it to be moot to spoiler it.

I'm of the opinion that time isn't really that relevant a measure when it comes to this sort of this.

Like, if you get into the series three years from getting spoiled for stuff like Reiner being the Armoured Titan will suck just as much as getting spoiled for that now is, but nobody's going to get particularly bent out of shape if they happen to hear that fourth arc is more about humans vs. humans, even though that's more recent.

Yeah, my main concern is the huge reveals. Stuff like who the Titan spies are or that Titans are transformed humans are big, earth-shaking reveals that change how you read the entire series building up to that. On the other hand, finding out that there's a Government Conspiracy and human vs human stuff is.....not so much, since that's not an unusual thing in a series of this type. And something that's been discussed by the characters from the beginning.

However, I'm still not sure it's absolutely necessary to have character pages for Conny's mother or the wall titans… not only are those two huge spoilers by nature, there isn't even that much to say about them.

Well, they're among the most distinctive and significant Titans in the series. And without opening the folder, you're pretty safe from major spoilers.

I usually feel like if you get spoiled, it's your fault for snooping around before you finished.

even though i do that with every series that i don't binge

Same. I'm always complaining about being spoiled...after secretly poking through the trope pages.

It's sorta funny when the spoilers are wrong, which I've encountered a few times.

Spoilers/summary for the new chapter out!

Observations/Important stuff:

• The military commanders are all awesome. Zackly confirmed to not have anything to do with the conspiracy, helps expose it.
• The reporter duo clear the Survey Corps' names.
• The approaching group last chapter were Hange and co, they bring news that the revolution was a success.
• Wall Titans believed to be a tool/weapon of those in power used to control the people.
• Historia turning on everyone again?!
• Shirtless Sacrifice Eren time.

I like it a lot, but lol - I have a tough time believing it's a Shingeki chapter.

At least I get to see more husbando...

I know, I'm not used to this whole thing where not everything is a crushing defeat. I am suspicious.

That just means there'll be horrible horrible unintended consequences.

what's with Erwin's arm in the spoiler pics?did it grow back?

He is obviously a titan shifter.
