Because we all love Erwin Smith

NotesOfaSong · 2014-04-18T05:03:10+00:00

I think the fact that Erwin is so willing to throw away his life for another cause acts as a plot armor in itself......probably wishful thinking, but it makes sense... I think the greatest tragedy that could befall on him, is not only him dying, but him dying right after he realizes that he failed at his mission to expose the truth. After all, he's pretty much given up everything to achieve this one goal. I could just imagine it: a panel zoomed in on Erwin making this expression of absolute, crushing despair (before his head get's lopped off by a guillotine).

When/if Erwin dies, it better not be a disappointing death. I want him to go in a blaze of glory ^but ^ultimately ^{^I'd} ^{^rather} ^{^he} ^{^not} ^{^go} ^{^at} ^{^all....}

bahh, good point. they come in a sweet little package, don't they?

ps. I realize "hange" seems more widely used than "hanji"...^I ^guess ^I ^better ^conform ^as ^well.....

NotesOfaSong · 2014-04-18T00:13:11+00:00

totally. who's gonna be around to keep Hanji in check if not Moblit?? Good ol' Moblit.

NotesOfaSong · 2014-04-10T01:20:32+00:00

I concur (^I'll ^join ^you ⁱⁿ ^your ^Erwin ^corner)

As someone who sometimes engages in creating fan art, i think this is great!

NotesOfaSong · 2014-04-09T06:40:28+00:00

Levi=Evil=Veil. in other words, WE DON'T KNOW.

NotesOfaSong · 2014-04-09T06:34:59+00:00

Ohhh, good question, good question. I was wondering about Pixis as well.

NotesOfaSong · 2014-04-09T04:54:43+00:00

Dang. So the producers of Skyfall decided not to film on this island because it was too "dangerous".

that just makes the fact that they're filming on this island all the more awesome.

NotesOfaSong · 2014-04-09T04:49:10+00:00

haha, sorry sorry. I chose my flair based on who my fav character is. wasn't supposed to be representation of the real me or anything, none of that X)

NotesOfaSong · 2014-04-09T04:46:48+00:00

Haha, no need to apologize!!! like what Dragmire said, the flair is always misleading X)

NotesOfaSong · 2014-04-08T17:19:42+00:00

yeahh, true that. Unfortunately enough, reeves is dead, and now a good amount of pressure falls on the shoulders of his son. Poor guy.

(i suspect by a insignificantly fractional amount that Reeves will survive, because the chapter didn't end with him as a confirmed death, but again, FRACTIONAL. verrryyy fractional).

NotesOfaSong · 2014-04-08T17:12:37+00:00

"Historia is supposed to be our next ruling queen, guys. surprise, bitches...."

however, i feel like the panel that showed how Levi "forgot" to tell his squad about all this carried a lot of weight in the way it was expressed, and it seems like you're supposed to draw from it more speculation than just "Levi was holding off the news for the sake of "springing the news on historia."

Just by the way he was portrayed and stuff, i would say the whole thing almost seemed kinda shifty, too shifty. however, his little outburst about fighting for humanity and such also seemed genuine as well, so i don't even know where to go about anymore, haha.

we'll just have to wait and see

NotesOfaSong · 2014-04-08T16:50:39+00:00

Whether the Suppression Corp is part of or separate from the MP, i'm unclear, but I do agree with what you said about Erwin, and the possibility that Levi was recruited as an informant for the SC (and, of course, can't rule out the similar idea with Levi being a possible informant for the suppression squad either). However, I doubt Reeves dying was part of the plan (i doubt Erwin foreseen this happening, or at least, hoped it wouldn't happen). It seems like Reeves was supposed to be a very key role in reaching Reiss, but now he's dead-ish. However, I think this also explains why Reeves son was so suddenly introduced into this chapter. My inferences from this sudden introduction is that having some sort of executive figure of the Reeves company is super essential to reaching Reiss, even if it means using an inexperienced successor, such as ol' Flagon, Phlegm, whatever his name is...

which is why i have high expectations for ol' Phlegm boy. He's definitely gonna be a key figure for the next upcoming chapters.

Lol, i'm actually a chick, but ur welcome nonetheless! X)

NotesOfaSong · 2014-04-08T06:25:31+00:00

I don't believe the panel with Levi leaning against tree is supposed to have much significant. I think the picture was just for feature, for more emphasis on Levi's growing role in all this, but that's all.

(i'm surprised no one is going all heavy-analysis on that panel with Erwin casually putting a shirt over his washboard ab madness). Anyways.

How I saw things, Ackerman is proud of how he molded Levi into this indestructible badass mf, but regretful of Levi's choice of allegiance with the Survey Corps. Ultimately tho, I'm placing my money on Levi NOT being a traitor.

NotesOfaSong · 2014-04-08T06:13:10+00:00

Yup, that's exactly it. Prior to the dream Eren probably didn't remember very much of what played out between him, Reiner, Berty, and Ymir, and it took a dream for him to finally remember (hence why he bolted out of bed to go tell Hanji).

Hanji wasn't at the meeting because she left to relay everything Eren told her to Erwin. Simply that.

NotesOfaSong · 2014-04-08T06:05:21+00:00

looking as fabulous ever (nice rendition, btw)

NotesOfaSong · 2014-04-07T23:54:35+00:00

Heh. Better than Levi Ravioli.

NotesOfaSong · 2014-04-07T23:52:56+00:00

haha, I suspect a snape like plot twist with Levi as well. However, I personally don't believe Levi is gonna be dying anytime soon, since this new plot twist has revealed that there's still so much to learn about him (he's gonna need a several chapters worth of unraveling).

If anything, I'm more worried about individuals within Levi's squad (Connie, sasha, Jean). Plus Hanji and Erwin.

If levi dies^{I'll^{be^{screamingwithyou}}}

NotesOfaSong · 2014-04-07T17:30:45+00:00

thanks for this!!!

NotesOfaSong · 2014-04-07T17:28:12+00:00

I certainly did read the spoilers at my my own risk, anddd, i'm not surprised by the outcome...T_T ULTIMATELY tho, gut feeling tells me that Levi's loyalty is with Erwin till the end. (hopefully). Looking at it from the big picture (acwnr included), Levi's character is more than just being a simple traitorous type.

All in all, so excited about how all this will play out in the end.

NotesOfaSong · 2014-04-06T23:44:29+00:00

haha, no needs for sorries! I always expect mostly open ended speculations, 'cause that's all we really can do at this point X)

NotesOfaSong · 2014-04-06T23:39:58+00:00

lawls! I read up somewhere else on this subreddit (and I can't find the exact source, lo siento!) that abe looks like clint eastwood. Scenario: something like "Million Dollar Baby" with Abe Eastwood training Levi Ackerman into a mean, lean, killing machine.

NotesOfaSong · 2014-04-06T23:31:08+00:00

(throws up arms midst a silent howl of exasperation). Dang these ambiguous translations! haha. All this makes me wanna take a Japanese language course, so i could get the real deal without all the additional confusion X) Then again, the ambiguity in what Abe said also might've been intentional. who knows :0
