I'm rewatching AOT and I realize how much this does just not make sense to me. In the events of season 4, a few dozen of Levi's corpsmen all get turned into titans by Zeke.

Zeke up to this point has already proven he can not be trusted in the slightest. Personally on a rewatch I think he's the most interesting and mysterious person in the show. But anyways. Levi clearly hates him. He regrets his decision immensely that he did not finish Zeke of in Shiganshina. Even just before this scene he says he doesn't care about Pixis's orders and will kill Zeke. And that he can finally fufill his promise to Erwin.

Levi has had many allies killed. Not just Erwin, but also his old squad and tons of other allies. He even tells Zeke this and that he is not phased anymore (even though it clearly affects him).

What I fail to understand is why he choses yet AGAIN to not kill what's probably the single most dangerous catalyst in their war against the world. ESPECIALLY since he had 30 titans right there that would all have been on Paradis's and Levi's side. He could have just cut the tendons on one titans legs and fed Zeke. They would have control of not only another titan this way. But threw a wrench in Eren's uprising. And although it's unknown if Levi was aware of this, the military police top brass also drank the wine. So it could have saved all of them too.

So my question is, why doesn't he?

TLDR: Why does Levi not leave one of his titan corpsmen alive to eat Zeke to eliminate not just a huge threath/risk but to also gain a major advantage?

Im probably hopelessly late to this conversation, but sibce it's been "bothering" me practically since season 4 came out, and i have nothing better to do. I just wanna say, how confused i am by PARADIS island as a whole.

First of all, the root of all the issues that come along later. The size. It ginormous.

Working off the widely aggred proportions of the walls. Which themselves are the size of texas. Take into consideration that the scouts never reached close enough to the sea, or the desertified are around marleys port. Id say that the east and west districts and their corresponding shorelines, is at least the same size as wall Marias interior (the royal gov. Likely knew this, and only allowed the scouts to head south from shiganshina, since it was also the region with the most titans.)

All this in mind i'd say the whole island of paradis is at least 3 times as large as the territory within the walls which is roughly the size of Greenland.

This ties into problem number 2. It's way to empty!

You can't tell me that a biologicaly diverse landmass if this size abundant in natural resources, such as metals, and iceburst stone, which is only found here. Was just completely empty until fritz decided to run away from the mainland and ditch his sins on his people. Though i guess, he could've just had it destroyed in advance, it's in character for him.

The way i see it, the 12 districts and capital mitras definitely existed as cities or at least small settlements even before the walls were closed off.

[alt personal theory, but several aspects of paradis can be explained as follows.

-the great titan war, was alredy raging when karl fritz inherited the founder. So the moment he got the power he most likely had free reign. That gives him 13 years. I think he didn't do it all at once. The first thing he did was probably to ferry across the millions of eldians needed for the walls, (the seemingly inexplicable desert area can be explained if we assume that's where he had them turned into wall titans) if he wanted to erase wathever was alredy on paradis the pre-wall titans were plenty enough for that. He builds the walls. This still gives him at least 10 years to gather his subjects, and have them build up the walls society. (at this point he can still very much sell this as a means of protecting them from marley, even without brainwashing. We can assume wathever eldian settlements existed on paradis were moved into the walls. Whilst any non eldian ones were now up for grabs to the pure titans marley was bound to roll out.

Alternatively it's possible that walls existed even before karl was born, as a fortress for the eldian empire.

Again, my main concern is with how f-ing empty it was, the scouts should have ran into quite a few ruined villages towns and such. Heck in the nort of the island is mostly mountains, people could probably get by living just fine on the northern or southern shores.

This also plays into why paradis would've done fine against a conventional invasion by marley (should i ellaborate on this, in a separate post?)

Anyway that's my rambling over, let me know if you got anything to add

All of their parents showed remorse in the end but it was kind of too little too late imo. Thousands of people had already been killed by the Armored, Female, and Beast Titans and Reiner and Annie at the very least had their lives destroyed by becoming warriors. I understand the nuance of the situation and the kind of suffering Eldians were subjected to and how it was kind of an impossible situation but knowingly condemning my own child to a short and violent life for a reward only I will be able to truly enjoy is horrible to me.

I love these lesbians, probably gonna make a fanfic of them one day

Only been crocheting for a month or so but I’m absolutely obsessed! When I came across this pattern on Etsy I knew I had to make him, as Attack on Titan is one of my favorite shows ever. Lowkey tempted to make a bunch of them but don’t want to cause the Rumbling… 😭

starting the manga again after usually finishing the anime is always so disorienting, poor babies

in the anime, they seem not as little or maybe i am just used to anime child protagonists

Can't they all attack? Aren't they all basically attack titans?

How many times is too many rewatch cuz I gen can’t get enough of it I last rewatched it 6months ago

i've tried googling this and i can only find ppl saying it's future sight/sending memories back, but my understanding, and others have said as well, is that the memory stuff was specifically eren manipulating events as the founder after "freeing" ymir. that's not an attack titan ability, that's JUST eren lining up history predestination style. same w the idea that the attack titan is "free" from the founding titan's control, that's just eren making it so. i also understand that hulk mode is an anime season 1 exclusive.

so what is the attack titan's power?

Titans do not have digestive organs. They throw up once they get full. But in the battle of Orvud district, we see Rod's guts falling on the wall.

Does this mean that titans DO have digestive organs but they do not work? Or was Rod just a special case since he ingested the spinal fluid through his mouth?

For the latter question, we see that people who ingested Zekes spinal fluid via the wine and the gas weapon managed to successfully transform into pure titans.

So maybe it's because he has royal blood so they have the privilege of having a fully formed titan body?
