They are keeping it for the finale, right? Manga clarified this but the anime cut it, I guess to try and make him look worse. Oh I see. Thanks m8 |

| Now this was the most the most tense campfire scenes I've ever seen. The hostility between both sides were very apparent with the constant remarks from one to the other, all while Hange was cooking up a tasty looking stew. At least Jean and the others now know what happened to Marco on that fateful day and, while Reiner was reflecting on his inner conflict during that moment, I can't really blame Jean from going totally berserk with rage and beat the literal shit out of him before the other intervened, with Gabi taking a kick to the gut by accident. I do admire how she and Falco begged Jean for forgiveness, which was enough for him to stop his rampage. Also, we can't forget about the daydream that Jean had at the beginning, which showed what looked like Mikasa holding up his daughter. Maybe his ideal dream will come true, who knows. However, it seems that the most talked about thing in this episode what the overall directing and production values (only a day after My Dress Up Darling had that same question aimed at by viewers who're overly exaggerating the "quality drop" of its 9th episode). I guess both sides do have a point here, where the artistic direction was pretty nice, although the animations were the smoothest where there was movement and the episode was more reliant on still shots, which is something some fans venomously hate with a vengeance. I don't think it's as bad as other make it out to be, but it could've been done better, too. either way, I still enjoyed this tense episode, which gives me the "calm before the storm" vibes going into the next episode. |

| I think it's the first time in a long time ive felt underwhelmed by an episode of it. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| Hanji logic is dumb she is clearly not fit to be a commander, she can't present any alternative to Erens plan other than we should all get along nonsense. Alliance shouldn't exist it doesn't make any sense for Armin, Mikasa and Jean to betray Eldia and join the enemy faction. If Marley had an upper hand and situation was reversed I'm sure that Riner, Gabi and Annie wouldn't try to stop them from exterminating Eldia. This entire episode reeks of hypocrisy. |

Vindicater said: joy_swifty said: Jean was really like the best main character of all. He has become shining just a few episodes so far. I thought Eren would come back. At least for his family-friends' sake. He has always shined. He is the king. Agree. He's always been the best rounded, most level headed of all the characters on that squad. One bit I disliked in the manga and I hated now was seeing how little responsibility the Marleyan general took. Kids showed much more humility and self reflection than he did with his "you opressed us for so long" attitude, even now. |

| Jean waking up Reiner with "Rise and shine" is by far my favorite moment of the season |
| Chapter 127 of the manga that this episode is adapting, was one of the few alliance chapters that was decent. Even so it is significantly weaker than before. People start complaining about still shots and bad direction as if any episodes in this season or the last were different. It's just that the source material had a significant dip in quality, which means the script can't carry Mappa's mediocre adaptation any more. |
| This is definitely one of the best episodes of this season, although admittedly polarizing for a lot of people. I mean, it's a long-ass dialogue episode with them just sitting aroud a campfire. Are they really expecting overly animated mouth cycles and rotoscoped body language on this one? Because if I remember correctly, the last time that they did exactly just that in the last season's episode 2, they freakin' hated it. Hiroshi Hamasaki's perfectly timed cuts and atmospheric changes in his storyboard work suit this episode very well for its intention. This episode might've shown us "less" but it was able to emphasize the tension more than just showing them talk and cut from one person to another like what a "normal" anime dialogue does. Even if it's a "slideshow" as what others might claim, it never felt lazy or stilted. I prefer the direction this one took than recycling flashbacks to get the point across. While I can see that the story is getting worse, my expectations were already low to begin with. A lot of things didn't make sense about this alliance but we all know how thisends. We'll just have to see it through the end. |

on 
| This episode really progressed slowly and the gathering of the group commenced It felt really slow but somehow fast It ended in an instant when the to be continued screen appeared, Seems like drama is there as always but glad that they've all came down to a peaceful remark. |

Lol. Except it's not. The episode is a clear confrontation of ideals, pointing out the good, the bad, the hypocrisies, the pragmatism and anything that makes this group of enemy factions come together to ultimately decide that it may be better to stop Eren in whichever way they are capable of. And yeah, it is just like that in the manga as well. You should turn off your "shounen battle" brain for a bit and consider what it's being talked about in this episode. It's slow, but it IS significant. |

No, it wasn't cut, rewatch episode 5 and 6, Willy says it loud and clear as he declared war on Paradis with the rest of the world, which is what trigger Eren to start his killing spree. Some of his lines during the discourse got shortened, but that was about it. |
|
| This season isn't doing it for me, ngl. Maybe because I read the manga, but compared to season 3 part 2 and season 4 part 1, this is really underwhelming. Add onto the fact that Mikasa's character has just gotten somehow even more 1 dimensional and boring where every line she utters is about Eren; I'm never actually that invested in the series as I used to be. |
| Great symbolism that they had this talk in the forest, just like Sasha's dad said they had to escape from. A horrible cycle of hate and revenge that will never end unless someone takes the hard path of forgiveness. |

If Marley had an upper hand and situation was reversed I'm sure that Riner, Gabi and Annie wouldn't try to stop them from exterminating Eldia. This entire episode reeks of hypocrisy. I absolutely agree, These retards backstabbers want to help Marleyans kill their friend and leader Eren, so what is gonna happen after they kill him ? Marleyans will kill ALL of Eldians. So basically what they are saying is Let's help our enemy kill our leader so that then they will kill us all. WTF really :( I don't know if we're watching the same show, but Eren was never their leader. No one ever saw Eren as above them, they were all members/players of the same team. While their plan is solid and comes with the risk that Marley might turn their backs on them and stab Eldians in the back, it's still better than omnicide. No one wants a freedom at such a price. I guess this also depends on your views and morals as a person, but this is at least what Hange is trying to convey. She and the rest of her team could die, the conflict might not end, but they will not live alone in their "free" world. They can also feed Eren to anyone and control the rumbling without destroying the world. |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |
| This episode was pretty good compared to the previous one. We get to see the tension within the alliance, something ep 8 failed to properly convey. Brain dead people complaining about fuckin trees and heavy dialogue should stay away from this anime. |

| I was wondering what all the fuss was about with everyone talking about trees and branches. Now I finally get it lol. But come on now, maybe they were doing it for the imagery, the branches without leaves being dead and all. Anyways, I didn't mind it at all, BUT it did remind me of the fireplace-censoring from Redo of Healer LOL |

| Go jean Go jean Gooo I like the part where he argued with magath |
| It was a really interesting episode......even in the Manga it was good.....former enemies eat food around a camp fire together...they then go on to sort their differences. Yelena kept adding fuel to the fire by reminding them of all the deeds they'd done in the past. It must also have been painful for Jean, when he came to know the truth. But well in the end they've finally set aside all that and decided to stop Eren As for the next episode it's gonna be real good and full of action!!! |

|
| I waited so long to see this animated and i'm so happyyyyy |
  |
| Aah this episode was so hard that it feels so uncomfortable. Yeah they are now together after a tough argument, and in any way they will handle it, it still feels wrong that they're now going to come together for a mission to STOP EREN. And yeah Hange is a vibe, still being funny amidst all the tension, but I'm still kinda thrown off this episode. Maybe its because of the discount animation, or how the characters talked it out, but yeah it's still hard inside to watch. Now that they must handle that paranoid Floch, I guess death is still coming for our characters. |
 |
| in my opinion a pretty decent episode I'm really looking forward to see who are the traitors |
 |
| The situation here was...complicated. Good chapter. One thing, the static shots...why? it looks kind of weird but ok. And another thing, Hange all the time with the stew xD |
| I WANT TO EAT HANGE STEW! |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Well; what a bunch of lovely, peaceful people. |
| Direction didn't hit its target with those shots, kind of a failure attempt, though all said story wise, it was great. heavily Jean focused and those punches were well deserved, also liked how Reiner called himself worthless. |
| Genocide is wrong but marleyans killing eldians is what then? Hange is the worst scouts commander in the history of Paradis. And it's hilarious how the traitors are attacking verbally the ones they wanna be their allies, then make Mia and Ben grovel and ask for assistance (typical marley tactics, well, they are uneducated animals, they know shit about honor or morals). Still, Reiner could have used the bert card but even he had the decency, I didn't expect that from a half marley animal scum. Like I said when the manga was running, there are always people against you, no matter who you are, their reasons are simple minded and stupid but they are their personal reasons so we can't do much about it. Anyways, Mikasa awesome as always |
    |
| that magath guy is a hypocrite.. like killing thousands of eldians is good and its for justice but when they fight back its bad and they are devils.. |
