Well, that, and the fact that Destined said it’s Eren’s fault for making Mikasa stayed when Carla was sandwiched by the crumbled house with Titans approcahing. Blaming Eren for that is simply wrong as we’ve shown that Mikasa did want to save Carla so badly at the time, not just to accompany Eren.

SO that the reason huh? shoudnt it be hannes who to be blamed for carla's death, she may have been covered by a heavy beam but that beam can be lifted with innovative use of the 3d gear grapples and yeah he shoudve killed the titan that chowed on her then again if they didnt run away at that point they may have been one of the many who were abandoned by the last fairy leading to wall rose

Yeah. You should ask that question to Destined as he's the one who blame Eren in the first place.

No it isn't crazy, but together with other (more ridiculous statments) it's speculation.

Articuzwolf made good resume of these arguments:

so all the debate about Mikasa got over/doesn't care about Eren's mum/dad and She'll BSOD/break if Eren dies compared to Eren's mum death, toned down/changed to she always put Eren first and overprotective to Eren?

That part about Mikasa being overprotective is canon. And whole discussion would be easily resolved if Fate just added words like "I think" or "I asume" to rest instead of trying push it through as facts. From that point we can agree or disagree, but everyone will be happy (probably)

so... the colossal Titan DOES TELEPORT...

No way he can sneak up on everyone that's right at the Gate looking out...


So... the question is... how does the Titan even Teleport? (do the Titans have Magic?)


If the Titans can Teleport... why do they even bother going from the outside of the Gate?
Just Teleport to the center and rack havoc from there, no one expect a Titan attacking from the center, so there would be zero support.
This gives the Titan instant WIN... plus it would cause mass panic and no one would be left to give orders or organize.

Kinda like the Ant colony, every ant is organized and follow orders.
But when someone goes up and mess up their line, they go all crazy and run around in circles.

I just realized this after watching this episode, but i really like the way the studio shadows their eyes for comical scenes.

Not really. That would ironically be the one scenario that they're 'prepared' for. The best of the best are all in the very middle remember?

Besides, the normal titans don't seem to have any abnormal powers. Just the abnormal types which have shown up, and they're far fewer in number.

The fact that the special titans specifically aimed for gates suggests that their objective was to create a way for their less mentally and physically endowed companions to invade human territories. After all it's not like the colossal Titan could go through that hole.

If normal titans could teleport yeah they would have done it a long time ago. But they most certainly cannot.

Now you could say, why doesn't the colossal Titan appear inside the walls and lay destruction directly by himself?

Several conjectures could be made. But the most important question is: is he invulnerable? Because if he isn't this could be pretty dangerous. As far as we know he is the best if not the only anti-wall siege weapon the titans have. Why taking the risk to lose it? It is better to destroy the wall and then send the expendable titans forward.

[JamJackEvo]

I think it's kind of sad that I already have an idea of the Collosal Titan's reason for not wreaking havoc inside and only appears to destroy the walls for the smaller ones... but I haven't yet read the manga. I was spoiled rotten when curiosity got the better of me and I have no one to blame but myself...

[Hmm....]

I still go with my theory that Colossal Titan didn't teleport.

The lightning struck and mutate one of normal Titan. This would explain why the colossal one always appear outside the wall and never inside. and why it just hole the wall and disappear. May be its form is temporary ? It turn back to normal titan after a kick and joy the fun ?

I hope we will learn more about it in this soon-to-air episode.



PS. No I didn't read manga so please don't spoil me.

Too bad I read the manga so I can't join and speculate with you guys. Always looks like so much fun

But don't worry, you'll eventually know why some things happen the way they do
(though I'm not sure how many chapters the anime will do so not sure if we get to see it anytime soon )

[ginger02]

I probably shouldn't have read the wiki before watching this episode
I thought it would have had spoiler tags. But oh well, I still don't really get what's going on, but I'm watching since I like Eren and Armin.

Wiki is not the forum. The information on Wikipedia is fine, but other wiki page's information can be fake(ie Deadman Wonderland).

Also, one exaggerate title is out. 製作委員会が謝罪…放送局により内容が異なる

No, you must never go to wikipedia if you want spoiler-free data.

Unlike other wiki, contributors of Wikipedia are less likely to input fake anime information.

The problem is not "fake information" the problem is that wikipedia doesn't give a damn about spoilers. If you go and read the descriptions of the characters it tells you everything about them including revelations that are supposed to be major plot twists of the story.

I merely stated the wiki pages have fake information. His so-called spoiler could be fake information. Wiki is not forum, so it wasn't intended for spoiler control.

I wanted to believe your statement, but your Higurashi log dissuade me. You can check out English Wikipedia's talk section. Today, it still has the trace of fierce argument and negative sentiment. When the show season one was airing, some self nominated "censorship committee" manipulated the fact(XXX is a "he", XXX is not XXXX) and deleted any information at their discretion. Their purpose: making story more enjoyable to watch???

Wikipedia gives a damn about spoilers, when zealots are involved.

[Marly]

Alright, so I got a crazy theory about this Colossal Titan. It's brilliant.



What if the titan was hiding inside the wall, somehow left the wall to the outside area without breaking it, then broke it, and then hid back inside the wall while everyone couldn't see shit with the steam thing? It's a flawless theory!

[Kanon]

Your picture made me think of another theory. What if the titans are aliens and the colossal titan arrived and then left on his flying saucer? The lightning is some sort of transfer beam!

just started from here.....
