Why do they keep the Mikasa scenes so fantastic? I actually teared up at the scene where she held Eren with such a look of shocked elation. That part had more impact to me than the crying. The entire scene was done great, from the camera angles to the timing in the changes in Mikasa's expression. Her feelings for Eren became so visible it was almost tangible.

Peace.
They tricked me dammit!
I thought this was a fantasy series, but it's secretly a mecha series!
Gross, fleshy mechas!
Sasha failed because she was following someone else's plan. If she had thought of her own way to approach the titan and kill it, I'm sure she would have succeeded.
I love seeing her crying to Mikasa like a pet though. She's cute that way.
I think it's more like Ultraman in disguise.Originally Posted by DE

Nah, Shingeki no Kyojin is a Gantz-spin off, playing on an alien planet, where human beings have been deported for a perverse survival experiment. Just you wait, Kurono will have a guest appearance in like 5-6 episodes :>
I'm talking about your "mecha" analogy, and saying that I see it more akin to Eren becoming a giant to fight monsters, as opposed to your typical "pilot a mecha to fight monsters".

"Pilot monsters to fight other monsters".

Just barely below the neck. Makes me think about the others...
Now... we can click as warriors... button to button, it is the basis of all internet.

omg, nice find. another Bokurano-moment incoming :>

gg - Episode 09
---------------------------------
Damn that was good. The whole stand-off was annoying to watch because we knew exactly what went on, despite it being a necessary and truthful conveyance of what should have happened.
The worst part was that I really wanted them to use my comback:
"You ask a lot of questions, let me ask you this: How many titans have you killed?
I've (Misaka) personally killed 13. Armin devised a plan that killed 7 and saved 20 soldiers. Eren took out innumerable titans and avenged our comrades.
Have you killed any titans today? Don't you dare accuse us of treason."
edit2: oh, and turns out Eren becomes his own titan. Ultraman analogy ftw!.

That would be totally useless. The commanders in that city always command from behind the lines. They don't lead from the front. They are aristocratic military leaders, which naturally goes well hand in hand with the country being an absolute monarchy. The king needs the military command to be in the hands of people who also are privileged and thus have to jealously guard their high station. A man who can turn into a titan would make such leaders deadly scared for many reasons, and the fact they haven't personally faced a titan outside of reports is only one of those reasons. The more important one is that they can't subdue such an individual easily and thus the man-monster would be a threat to the class society.
Humans would be far better off being under the rule of a military junta obsessed with defeating the titans.
But, man, this episode felt really short.
It wasn't meant to persuade the leader into agreeing, but more of a SHUT THE FUCK UP comment that would also impact on his troops. The leader was going to kill them anyway because he's shitting himself, but perhaps the grunts that work underneath him have a few more functional brain cells. (His 2nd-in-command seems to be brighter, but no less narrow minded)
It's s smarter thing to say than their feeble responses, which was all I was hoping for.

omg
We still didnīt get an explanation for why Eren could take control over a titan body. Now we also donīt know how he suddenly knew how to force-awaken his titan-form. Damn, this just got way crazier! I have no idea what to make of it. I mean, biting into your finger, suddenly transforming, thatīs magic shit. And I donīt like non-sensical magic shit. With how clever and intelligent this series has presented itself so far, however, I doubt that itīs really magic shit. Thereīs more to it, definitely.
Btw. was it just me who thought of Susanoo when Eren transformed, haha.
Rewatch the father flashback.
You'll understand the injection is the reason Eren has this power.
Regarding Magic shit, well the titans and the way they appear and sometimes disappear out of thin air should tell you there's room for that.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
His dad said "their" memories will tell you how to do it (the transformation). From that, I can infer that the injection transmits both the means for transformation (Titan blood seems to evaporate, so I'm not sure it's that.. perhaps some other mutating agent?) as well as the memories of the Transformers who came before him (again, not sure how you get memories into a jar.. perhaps Transformers don't have evaporating blood like Titans do).
Nope.
Btw. was it just me who thought of Susanoo when Eren transformed, haha.

Guys, I "get" that injection. Itīs just that I need even more of an explanation: 1.) What exactly happened inside that Titan that ate Eren? We just saw how Eren-Titan erupted from inside the other titan. Was there a chemical reaction, was there a mental link, what was it? 2.) WHAT is that injection? We believe to know what its effects are, but we have no idea what that substance is, how Erenīs father go ahold of it and how he knew about its effects to begin with.
Regarding my "magic shit" complaints, Iīm still hopeful that all the supernatural events weīre seeing are not caused by magic, but by extraterrestrial forces. Or other weird, but kinda-logical stuff (like "woohoo, weīre inside the Matrix, thatīs all just a dream. The injcetion was the red pill." and such lol). I mean, come on: If all those monsters and transformations are magic-based, then that would take away a lot of the excitement, wouldnīt it.
Shingeki no Kyojin is presented as a mystery, where each and every episode uncovers another layer of the unknown. If itīs all magic, then thereīs no more suspense, because magic means: Anything goes. No rules. Itīd be super boring, because the producers could just throw weird shit as us without any consequences - aka do what Kishimoto is doing with Naruto currently.
If it IS magic-based, then donīt make it such a mystery. See Claymore. First episode explains what Claymores are, what Youma are, how they work. And then we follow a story that has to deal with these known facts. Magic is okay here. But again, when youīre telling a mystery-based story, magic kills suspense. In my opinion at the very least.
Edit: And I really hope some asshole didnīt just spoil me the future development of this series in my reputation-comments list. Thank you, dirtbag.
wow
I watched this episode and thought there were like 10 minutes left when it ended... time sure flies when you are having fun.
the titan carcass at the end looked sick... someone from naruto sure could take a look at that to improve his badassness
I expect alchemy.I mean, come on: If all those monsters and transformations are magic-based, then that would take away a lot of the excitement, wouldnīt it.
weird experiment to creat something (maybe a weapon); result = Titans
Titans went rampant. humans tried to fight them off using gunpowder (another invention they created) etc.
I got that impression when I saw that weird picture of humankind fighting off titans and all the humans wore these weird "magic"-hats
not to mention that the secret basement sounds like a lab of some mad scientist and so on
it'll probably be something like Fullmetal Alchemist

Mental link.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
So his transformation is linked to his mental state and pain? I mean in the belly of that titan he clearly was in pain since he lost his freakin arm and leg. Plus he was completely focused on the thought killing Titans. At the end he was focused on protecting Mikasa and Armin and he also bit himself for the pain.
Anyway, did you all notice that lightning and steam when he did transform? That was just like the Behemoth Titan. So is that huge one also human?
I guess, since it appeared and disappeared just like that. I wonder why someone would do that unless he is a arsonist/firestarter so to say, the fact that it appeared just when the elite-recon squad left the town is also very suspicious too, sounds like an inside job
lets not forget, there is the "armored titan" too which is way to abnormal for a regular abnormal. and it exhales "steam" just like Eren did, a feat we have not seen normal titans do so far if I'm not mistaken
and its weird that it has not appeared again
if they are humans, how did they get their powers though?
