Hahaha I know right. I can't wait for the next two eps, even more of a standing ovation and a.......scene that will def be remembered for you L&M
This episode is amazing, can't wait to watch the reaction and full
For me this episode really displays how versatile Isayama is as a writer. To say he knows how to make a character feel impactful is the understatement of the century.
Don’t worry the official translated episodes release the same week as the Japanese episodes for anime streaming services like Crunchyroll and funimation. If you want to watch it legally lol
SOOOOOOO many paralles in this ep
please focus on the wine that will be VERY important later.
i think crunchyroll uploads the translation an hour after it airs in japan if i recall correctly.
>>72141163
for season 4 it was around 5 hours later
Like I once heard, "There is no innocence. Only ignorance."It doesn't matter if you're a child. Plenty of times, even in our own history, have shown us just how monstrous supposed "innocent" kids can be, as Gabi is now showing herself.What I personally compare innocence to, is denial. That is, a denial of your involvement in a crisis, or in the belief that you do not take enough of a part to be believed guilty. No one's a victim in AoT, nor in our world. I believe this. I believe everyone's a monster, in some respect.
Can you watch Arcane after AOT ? It’s insanely well written. Pleaseeeee
there are people that read the manga that can be jerks and spoil things. Always be careful
>>72141120
Man don't say stuff like that, they really need mod here
I love how Reiner no longer cares about being a warrior or patriotic bullsh*t like Marley/Eldia, but just wants to save those kids and get the f*ck out.I get it, honestly.

same reiner, same
Crunchyroll uploads the official translation around 5 hours after the episode airs in Japan. http://ww4.watchsnk.net/ is usually a good place to watch the episodes when they come out.Also you'll be able to tell them apart by the different text font but make sure you wait for the official Crunchyroll translation to drop since multiple fan subs usually drop earlier but they're often rushed out with spelling errors and/or wonky translations.
>>72141783
I'd recommend getting a Crunchyroll subscription though to watch it when it starts airing.
Great reaction and emotions as always. Agreed that the writing has been so good
I could have misunderstood (haven't read the manga), but I always assumed the memory-wiping is a Founding Titan thing, but that the founding titan only has access to that power when possessed by (or connected to) someone with royal blood. So I think Eren could use the Founder to wipe memories if he is touching Zeke in titan form (same way as he could control titans when touching Dina in her titan form). I think.
alot of the intro is in english btw
>>72142053
That's correct! But the only ones who can be affected by this are Eldians. Anyone who is not a subject of Ymir cannot be affected.
This is one of my favorite episodes across all seasons. It was so well done in my opinion. Sad to say, I was a Gabi hater after 4x8, but this episode especially and the following ones made me rethink that. It's honestly frightening how easy it was to just blindly hate her for killing Sasha. It's simple to say, "oh it's just a tv show, I'd never call for a child's blood in real life." And sure, a cartoon is very different from real life, but on the other hand, how much angrier and sadder would you be if it happened to you in real life, if you grew up with this girl, fought alongside her, were friends, and someone just showed up out of nowhere and killed her in front of you? Even the uncertainty of not knowing 100% how you would react is terrifying.
I know a lot of people think Isayama is a brilliant writer, and while I'm not sure I agree with that, s4 was really him at his peak. He's a lot better as a writer than I gave him credit for in s1, and s1 was also better than I gave it credit for at first.
This scene is so intense... the poor girl...
>>72141367
seconded
If you guys really love the outro so much please check out the lyrics to it, it gets so much better.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-8kif2KVPIYou guys are amazing with the reactions! Keep it up.
>>72142893
Nah, after three watches of this show. I am very sure he is. I wasnt high on the show after season 1, but given how we have arrived where we have arrived. I give him his chops.It’s not easy to construct a story not dependent on a singular character, Isayama knocks it out of the park while letting even side-side characters being impactful.
There are numerous sites that show AoT day of. I also don't have access to Crunchyroll here but there are ways 😄 It's also good because it releases in Japan which is earlier so by prime time CET we have the episode and the subs. Can send links if you need. The Shingeki No Kyojin subreddit has links too I think.
You should be able to watch on crunchy roll. Might have to pay for a few months of premium but I remember the episodes dropped there a few hours after Japan.
It doesn't translate to the subtitles, but Kaya (the girl Sasha saved) refers to Sasha as "onee-chan" meaning older sister.
you should avoid twitter the day of the episode lol. last time "sasha's death'' was trending on twitter everybody i knew got spoiled . and you should easily find SNK subbed hours after the launch in japan. now obviously many people read the manga and know the end so be very careful when Snk start trending again in january.
"New Eldian Empire"🤢 🤮
for your rewatch, any chance you could react to them for just patreon? could just do full reactions with a very short intro and outro so its not too much extra work
When you rewatch the show once you get to season 2 I don’t know if you understood the whole thing with Uutgard castle where Ymir found a can of herring that eldians on paradise don’t even have access to.Zeke was probably staying at that castle before and that’s where the marleyans stored supplies for any warriors they sent to paradise probably.
Gabi's Voice Actress is absolutely brilliant and all the people that were sending death threats to her while the season was airing because of their hate for a fictional child character need to go touch some grass
@LM Reactions Please be careful and delete Sergeant Jay’s comment it’s one of the top comments he is saying something really unnecessary that will be explained to you later don’t read his comment just look for any comment under his asking to delete it and your found the right one.
>>72143987
I can't believe I never put that together....I never realized only the Titan Shifters from Marley would even know what herring is, since everyone else had never had seafood before Nicolo cooked it for them....My mind is blown.
>>72143142
Omg the lyrics made it even better that’s actually a really beautiful song.@LM Reactions you should listen to it you won’t regret it.
>>72143770
FOR ELDIA WE SHALL DESTROY THE DISGRACEFUL NON ELDIANS AND RESTORE THE ELDIAN EMPIRE WITH EREN AS OUR LEADER. 😂
so excited for you two to get into this final stretch! Fantastic reaction and discussion as always
Oh hell nah Lola may not survive next episode lol
they are not ready for the next episodes. RIP @LM Reactions
Yeah the parallel is the most brilliant thing from S4. Not just from the characters themselves, but also the conflict.
Wonderful reaction, thank you!
>>72141368
Even people who have watched the anime are not sure of these. But funny anecdote: I was spoiled as a manga reader, because a week before manga chapter release often someone published a leak, unfortunately, very often correct. And those who read it were eager to tell everyone about it 🙃
One touch I really like in the scene is that Gabi is never told that she is also an Eldian. The the ancestors she is blaming would very well have been hers too. It’s a very clever piece of writing because the main premise behind this whole dialogue was to show how pointless dying in a war whether as a casualty or as a soldier is. Kaya’s entire point is to repeatedly ask about the purpose behind her mother’s death which is where even Gabi started breaking down. Such an amazing scene with even better subtext.And this cries back to what LM said about Gabi not worrying about empathising with Paradis because she hadnt seen their suffering. Now that she interacts with it, it’s a whole different story and Gabi trying to desperately cling to her defenses is just brilliant character writing.
I lost it when she said "I want to become someone like her"
The last scene was just amazing in so many ways. From the story to the beautiful artwork and music. One of my favorite moments in this season.
you can watch every new episode the second it drops in japan on various sites like crunchyroll with english subs
Just go on crunchyroll same day official translation
>>72145540
come to think of it, there aren't many episodes left where she survives.
>>72140681
all of the remaining episodes are great.
You guys have the most thoughtful discussions. The attention to detail, not just for current episodes, but tiny moments from other seasons is amazing. You're one of the only ppl who have discussions worth listening to.
>>72151418
I think it's not available in their country. And VPN can be (even more) slow when viewing videos..
The whole Gabi plot with Sasha and the ramifications of their actions is like a Greek tragedy.
Just watch the episode on crunchyroll, it is released 4 hours after it is released in Japan
>>72143755
Yeah, and even youtube recommendations... There are reactors that put spoilers in tumbnail or title... like: AoT 4x08 OMG Sasha dies T_T'' or ''Eren eats War Hammer Titan'' I really don't understand why
memory wiping isnt a royal blood ability, its a founding titan ability. Freida reiss was only able to do it because she had the founding titan. Eren could memory wipe if he came into contact with a royal blood titan.
About rewatching the show: I know reactions would not be possible. But maybe you could make some reviews after, idk, every season of mid season hehehe You know, to point out the things you have noticed just in the second watch... please? 🥺
They should definitely do that. Please LM🥺
Yeah i feel like Gabi is really holding on to her beliefs because if she doesn't all the people she knew that have died and every efforts she made throughout her entire life would be "pointless". Like she clearly sees that eldians on paradis aren't the demons she was told they were and she probably understand Kaya's point very well. But the fact she lost her mind at that moment saying they were devils etc is probably a way for her to keep her mind like "safe" or idk how to say it. Like if she just accepts what she sees, it means everything she lived for until that day was for nothing. It means her beloved ones died for nothing. So in her mind, she probably feels like she has to keep believing that they are demons and it's their fault, so she has someone to blame and hate to keep her on track. Humans always want to find reasons in everything they live or see so i'm assuming that's what Gabi is trying so hard to keep here.
Amazing!!
how'd they know to mention the wine?
one of literally maybe a handful of episodes in the entire series that doesnt end on a huge cliffhanger. also one of my favorites. look forward to the next couple
Gabi is the Eldian version of an uncle tom. Feed her to the dogs.
Also, Reiner is a major p**sy
>>72166462
You need major help.
>>72166484
No one agrees with you.
@MyNameIs is troll. lol
>>72143895
That would still be a lot of work tbh.What I'm hoping for are videos after each season or just one recap episode. I'm all for Lola and her notebook full of notes lol
>>72162806
Because of the ominous scene with Nicolo where he goes "This bottle right? (devil face emoji)". They didnt discuss it in the previous episode.
The opening and ending are also my favourites of the show
@LM ReactionsOnce you have watched all episodes for s4 part 1 I’d like to ask or recommend that you watch this video https://youtu.be/YdZEIcHsDzQIt has no spoilers for s4 part 2 and it’s about the character Floch it won’t try to make you like him but it’s an incredibly well made video that will give you a whole new perspective on his character and is just brilliant imo. I’ll recommend it on part 16 as well. Please take my suggestion into consideration and watch it once you are done with part 1 for season 4. 🙏 The channel has more videos on other attack on titan things and makes really good videos.
Hey everyone watch this. https://youtu.be/VQTV7EEMFzo QUALITY CONTENT haha
Lola, you should read the lyrics of this outro, it's beautiful
This is the hate some have for Gabi. lol https://youtu.be/GIAfsmE6cOA
i hope you ladies don't get spoiled. one of my friends is anime-only and when the last chapter came out, she got spoiled. she saw a picture on twitter and that picture spoiled everything. 😮💨
Zeke's plan is want to liberate Eldian by using 3 stages which is mentioned in episode 10, said by Kiyomi Azumabito.And I can't wait to see you ladies react to Zeke's backstory and how to liberate Eldian thought by Zeke!
just gonna point out if they had thrown her off the airship it would have saved that guards life
@LM Reactions Comment straight above me by Chun Lau is Spoiler Please don’t read it and just delete it.
omg we need armbands for patreon that ruin everyone moodand patreon that try to keep LM reaction protected and pure
Gabi and Reiner were family and raised brainwashed tremendously. Gabi was raised by a former Restorationist family that likely didn't indoctrinate their children as strongly.
