I got Social Magnetism. Somewhere between dead and turbo-dead.

Theoretical waifu got Tidal Wave Generation. She might make it.

Should've checked the list.

I got Giant Physiology. [lol]

I guess this means I escape.

My (non-Boxen) waifu got Avian Physiology. I think that speaks for itself.

She's the hero Squad 104 deserves, but not the one it needs right now. That's why she'll endure her crystal faith, because she can take it.

WOAH!

DID YOU KNOW?

The inside covers of the Japanese graphic novels have text on them. It’s basically the same image for all of the novels, so this isn’t actually a spoiler.

The text turns out to be upside-down nigh-illegible katakana, but the Japanese side of the Sn K fanbase has managed to render it into something more readable.

It seems to concern the history of humanity before the walls.

I’m not great at Japanese, but I tried my hand at translation.

Upper Left:

巨人の出現により住処を失い逃げ惑う人々。

People fleeing their homes due to the appearance of the Titans.

Lower Left:

巨人の圧倒的な戦力に成す術もなく、人類は新天地への航海を余儀なくされた。このとき人類のほとんどが死滅したが、その大半は人同士の手によるのでした。

Unable to match the overwhelming force of the Titans, humanity was forced to sail to a new world. At this time, most of humanity had been annihilated, but the majority of this was at the hands of their fellow humans.

Center (under the volume number):

船に乗れたのはごく少数の権力者たちだけであった。

Those who gained passage aboard the ships were only a small fraction composed of the rich and powerful.

Below Center:

航海は難航を極め、約半数が目的地に到達することなく消息を絶った。

The voyage was rough; about half [of the ships?] vanished without reaching the other shore.

Upper Middle Right:

新天地にはもともと長大な壁が用意された。

In the new world, great walls had originally been prepared.

Lower Middle Right:

新大陸・・・ここを我々は神聖なるものとして崇める。

This new continent, we shall revere as sacred.

Right:

この壁の中には人類の理想がある。

この壁の中に永久に争いのない世界をつくろう。

Within these walls are the ideals of humanity

Within these walls, let us create a world eternally without strife.

Holy sheeeeeet. This bring it closer to Destiny Fireworks.

This should silence some of the "how could they build those walls" people. I need to borrow this to spoil my friend.

And it also offers us a motivation for the intelligent titans: "Get out of our damn house!"

[up] Yeah, I think some people are just seeing things they want to see. Lol. First off, we know that they aren't in such a position in that place. They'd be straight posture.

Also, that's cross-section of that place. So, not even facing the right direction.

[up] Probably is the canvas. But if it is a hint...It doesn't have to be in that position. Otherwise, that would be an outright spoiler. tongue

Tried the superpower thing. I got self-sustenance, which I have to say is pretty useless under the circumstances, like, if I survive long enough to use it, I'm already out of danger.

The waifu got experience manipulation, which is hypothetically abusable. Hmm… if she could use the people inside all the titans as targets, there's 300 skill sets to drain right there. There probably wouldn't be any skills that could help unless we had all kinds of equipment, which we don't. But… maybe she could drain the experience of walking from all the titans, rendering them harmless unless you stray to close to them.

So, once they're disabled, the waifu, who is now absurdly resourceful, improvises some contraption to get us the hell out of dodge.

Though, of course, the scenario is dependant on not only the waifu's power being that strong, but also on us realizing that the titans are valid targets for it.

Oh, and that silhouette is most certainly there.

<tries superpower thingy>

I got Satanic Incarnation. So screw you Titans. On the other hand the humans might have something else to worry about...

My hypothetical waifu got Poison Immunity. Eh, better than nothing. Besides, I'm Satan. She desn't even need to lift a finger.

I don't think titans dream though, so it wouldn't work.

Or maybe like that time when Eren transformed and went berserk, he was in a dream-like state. If normal Titans have human pilot and they are dreaming like that then maybe dream manipulation could be of some use..

Probably still fucked though.

If normal, non titan shifter titans had pilots, they'd be seen when their necks are slashed. Plus, they'd probably be a bit more intelligent.

We may be seeing Military Police fight Titans in the next chapter or hopefully in the next next chapter, because I want next chapter to be a mostly talking chapter. (I want answers, goddamit!)

Since I'm in happy nice mood, I think the Military Police won't do too badly - cowards can be good fighters (ex. Jean) and especially since they're usually the top grads of every batch.

Be more specific with your wishes! If we get a talking chapter completely unrelated to the last page of the previous chapter I'M GOING TO BLAME YOU.

Talking chapter with ANSWERS, NOT just more questions and mysteries! ANSWERS!!!

Like, who are they exactly? Where do they come from? Why they want to kill the people within the walls? WTF is in that basement?!

Btw, I think I want Eren's daddy to be dead cause I've been wanting to throw (very heavy) books at him for like forever.
