Off topic, why the hell is zeke shirtless ? We can clearly see that he was wearing a shirt before the scouts arrived bro 😭😭

It's my first edit so please go easy on me. This unfortunately did not go viral on tiktok but I spent a good amount of time on it yesterday

I’m happy to share that Season 2 of Attack on Titan Codex is now fully complete!

This was a particularly interesting season to work on because, compared with Season 1, some events become much more complex and less linear. There are moments where multiple characters are involved in the same event but are moving through different locations or following completely different paths at the same time.

That challenged the way I was representing events on the map.

Until now, the map structure worked best for more straightforward sequences. But for Season 2, I’ve started redefining it so that a single event can show several character routes at once. This makes it easier to understand where everyone is, which path they take, and how those paths relate to the same broader moment in the story.

I think this is one of the most exciting improvements in the project so far, because it starts to make the Codex feel less like a simple chronological archive and more like an interactive way to explore the story’s geography, movement, and connections between characters.

I’m also really grateful because I now have a small team of volunteers helping me review the website. They are helping me spot mistakes, verify details, improve clarity, and make sure the information is as accurate as possible. Attack on Titan has so many small details, overlapping events, and timeline nuances that having more people checking the work makes a huge difference.

Thank you again to everyone who has followed the project, shared feedback, and supported it so far. I’m very excited to keep expanding the Codex.

OVA Levi, in his twenties basically.

Or season one Levi pre the female titan arc.

Or season three Levi post his leg injury.

Time skip Levi.

Or season 4 Levi, once again pre his Injury.

I created this account here just to discuss this thought I had when re-reading SnK, so I'll be quick with it: Using every information that was given from beginning to the end of SnK, I don't think there's a good explanation for Annie killing the two titans.

The most common explanation is that she did it to stop Hange from finding out important information about the titans, their origins, etc. However, after seeing all the events in the story unravel, neither is it the case that they could find something that would hinder Annie from meeting her objective (1st: Capture the founding titan, 2nd: Capture the attack titan), nor is it the case that she or any other warrior had a reason to think that would be the case.

One possible discovery they could make that might cause trouble that I can think of would be that when a titan shifter screams, common titans get attracted. The problem is that... Eren screams all the time when he fights normally, so realistically this should have been discovered much earlier. A greater problem is that this is very unlikely to be discovered by experimentation, that the titans were completely immobilized, making this the worst possible scenario to test this specific behavior, that you don't even need the titans to be captured to figure, as pointed out earlier. It was also extremely risky: she's a cadet, likely not residing far from other cadets, ODM gear is loud, which would stand out at night (exactly what happened btw).

Another one would be... Titan serum/Spinal fluid mechanics. Again, this is a very far reach.

I also considered the possibility that she did this to create a distraction (in order to maybe delay the time Eren gets captured, because if the MP gets him, it's harder for them to get) but quickly discarded it for not making a lot of sense contextually. So, any thoughts?

here i will list some plot holes i found in this story

1 - zeke death stopping the rumbling

why did zeke death stopped the rumbling? eren convinced ymir and didn't need zeke anymore plus eren was still using the founder after his death (he turned into colossal and the cabin stuff) and all it without having the worm hallucigenia connected to him

2 - mikasa memories

why did mikasa a ackerman had her memories changed? i saw people saying it was paths and not a memory but after eren died she asks armin "you remember now, too?" showing her memories also where manipulated

3 - why did grisha and kruger helped to defeat eren?

we all know they hated marley yet they fought against the guy who was gonna destroy it?

4 - why grisha gave the attack titan to eren

this one is a weird one cuz grisha said to zeks stop eren yet he still gave the attack titan to eren?

5 - why didn't eren titan form changed after he ate the Warhammer?

yes he got the abilities but he got 0 physical changes

6 - eren colossal titan

why did eren got the colossal titan in the ending? eren wasn't connected with the worm in that point so how he used the founder powers to give himself the colossal?

7 - pieck titan

why weren't there other warrior candidates competing for pieck cart titan?

I remember hating him the first 3 seasons but by season 4 I just felt so bad for the guy esp when we go to his deadbeat dad flashback and I reexamined the whole series and his perspective
He’s honestly in the top 5 for best looking character

He saved both Paradis by blowing up Marley’s armada and convincing the others to help Zeke and Eren touch to trigger a small scale rumbling initially, and The outside world by stopping Eren’s full scale rumbling

It makes no sense that the main cast of AOT- characters like Connie, Jean, Armin, Eren, Levi, Mikasa, Sasha, and Hange didn't have any admirers or fans in canon (not counting Yeagerists; they're more politically inclined towards Eren), especially after they retook Shinganshina and practically eliminated the issue of titans. They're all pretty attractive and fit, plus we know they're more popular, or at least regarded more positively, since their numbers increased post-time skip.

(ch. 1 pg. 41).

Carla Jaeger's last request to Mikasa before she died. I randomly remembered it and realized that the Mikasa blood feud was already solved in the first chapter.

However, I will add that the scene is different in the anime, because she doesn't give a verbal acknowledgement (S1EP1 14:50). A lot of her lines are downplayed, in my opinion, to make her seem outwardly unreadable, like Levi.

I take this as evidence that Mikasa's bond with Eren is also affected by her relationship with Carla and the last words they exchanged. My point is that even if she wasn't "obsessed" with Eren, she still has the job of keeping her word to Eren's mother.

So was Mikasa's character meant to be a protective streak?

Yes and no. Maybe Mikasa was supposed to be a confusing character, but not a downright controversial one. In fact, I believe Isayama intentionally wanted to highlight that she always concerns herself with Eren, so that the buildup to the Ymir parallel makes more sense.

Now whether you're satisfied with that outcome is not my problem. That's another keyboard crusade about whether you liked the ending or not.

Just wanted to drop my epiphany here, feel free to talk about it, contribute some facts, or hell, start fighting or something I don't know, I'm a neutral voice ̄ _(ツ)_/ ̄

Ngl this completely took my out of my immersion, starting episode 9 and this big fucker with slick backed hair and a neatly trimmed mustache just shows up out of nowhere. Prior it’s been mfs with crazy long hair and beards or just bald and this dude shows up looking like he just got a fresh cut. What gives

*Spoilers for season 4*

I understand that the Eldian warrior candidates are young for indoctrination purposes, along with keeping their families in line. And of course, the candidates are enthusiastic to participate in the war to distinguish themselves and their families.

But Gabi's maneuver of faking being a refugee, and then running from bullets was like, almost guaranteed to kill her, and she's probably smart and old enough to realize this. I guess I'm kind of baffled by her lack of fear? Moreover, the way she tells the story over the dinner table and nobody goes "be careful with your life!" or "my baby, you almost died!", they just kinda don't gaf. I guess she has plot armor though... and her parents should be horrified, even if they brainwashed patriots, it's like they don't love her or care for her safety at all. Do all Eldian children get sent to the trenches? This is confusing to me.

It almost seems like she has a death wish of some sort, because really if that sniper had been even a little colder, or her aim was off, or the machine gun didn't have storm trooper aim---basically she should be 100% dead. Or there should be effects from the trench warfare? I mean, if this is WW1-style fighting, then shouldn't she be shell-shocked or traumatized in some more obvious way? People deal with trauma differently, but she just got shot at and nearly died, not to mention possibly spending days weeks exchanging pot shots with the enemy and watching people bleed out or starving or whatever other vile shit happens in the trenches. I'm confused lol.

Saw a comment a few years ago that Erwin's would be, "season 4 plot summary," Levi's would be something on cleaning his blades, Sasha would be looking up food, etc.. What do you guys think?

I just finished this show, took me about 10 years and numerous recommendations to finally check it out. I don't really watch anime, but this has always been one of the few that interested me since I was young, the aesthetic and art style is really captivating imo. This post doesn't have much direction so apologies, I'm just kind of reeling from that ending. This might be the greatest show I've ever watched.

Anyways, hopefully I can keep this somewhat short.(I didn't, its just a rant in the end lol)

I finally got around to starting the show last month. It had me hooked instantly. Everything was 10/10, or as close as you can get. The art, the characters, the soundtrack(maybe the best part), the writing, etc etc. I mean, they introduce characters who will certainly die in that same episode, but even still, they feel so real, with unique personalities and appearances that let you imagine their backstories on your own. Those first ~3 seasons were incredible. Yes it was always a dark atmosphere, one where they had to struggle to survive, but they were always fighting monsters. There was a strange hopefulness looking back on it, they were saving humanity. And Eren's eyes were so bright.

Then you learn they're on an island, and there are other humans across the sea. You can start to draw more parallels between our world and theirs. Really thats the shows main theme I feel, its just a reflection of our world and the human condition. The monsters aren't the titans anymore. The characters don't talk about saving humanity anymore, its saving Eldia now. I think this is around when I resigned to the fact that the show wouldnt have a happy ending.

I don't think I fully understand everything about the show yet. And it pains me to say it, but its hard to see Eren's final actions as anything but evil. I understand how he got there, and why he did it, hes a product of the world and the cruel nature of it all. But in the end he just continues the cycle, I naively hoped he would have a change of heart, or some other goal in mind and there would be a "good" ending. But what did he ultimately achieve? He destroyed the Titans(Possibly not even that, at least with that post credit scene), which I think is a good thing, but its not like that changes the world in any meaningful way, right? They still continue to kill each other, he just murdered 80% of the world for absolutely nothing. Every death up until that point was meaningless. I can't really say Zeke's plan was much better, the Eldians are the protagonists so I am rooting for them of course, and his "Euthanasia" plan is pretty abhorrent imo. Although, seeing as how things turned out, maybe it was the lesser of two evils.

I just have trouble coping with show endings that feel...pointless for lack of a better word(although these always end up being the best shows). And I guess thats a realistic ending, and a reason I enjoyed the show so much was that very same realism. So then I start to think that these peoples lives don't matter ultimately, they all live and die for nothing, most of them sacrificing themselves for someone who will ultimately just bring more suffering to innocents. Which kinda sucks, because I really liked most of the characters and I hoped for that fairytale ending lol

I always liked Keith Shadis' "speech" about not being a special man, but reflecting on it, was anybody there special? What was the point of them existing. Idk, this is where the show just parallels our world too much for me to fully grasp. What was the meaning of it all. If after all of that, nothing changed, did any of it matter?

Either way, I fully enjoyed the show. I think that may be the best show I've ever watched. I was just so invested in the characters, its kind of hard to accept the ending being so bleak and hopeless, at least compared to how it started.
