![]() Second we learn that there is no hole in the wall the Titans could have used to come through.Įxhausted, hungry, and scared out of their mind, the two survey parties decide to group together and take shelter in the abandoned castle they found on account of the fact that neither parties ran into Titans. So important, in fact, that Ymir’s whole official reason for hanging out so much with Christa is her family, and later that episode, Pastor Nick confesses to Eren, Hange, and the others that his church has actually been monitoring Christa this whole time. We first learn that Christa is from some probably very important family. I’ve always had a weakness for characters like Ymir, who acts all tough, but is a complete softie when she’s around Christa.īut even sweet little moments like these get cut short when you’re in a world as dire at Attack on Titan, because this anime does not let you rest. One of the highlights for me this episode is Christa and Ymir’s little moment. The scene closes with Reiner, who is an asshole, dissuading Connie from further prying into his hunch that something’s up, leaving us just moments away from the anime confirming the possible origin of Titans. The Survey Corp team guided by Connie brings up some important points about the suspicious condition of Connie’s hometown, such as where are everyone’s body parts? Did they escape to safety before the Titans descended on them? And if they did, how did they do it without horses, and why would Titans obliterate houses with no people in them?Ĭoupled with the Tiny-Limbed Titan’s terrifying welcome home speech to Connie, the accumulating evidence is pointing heavily in the general direction of “this isn’t a work of nature, something is deliberately being screwed with here.” Now you might say, “That’s pretty typical of any Attack on Titanepisode”, but there’s something unsastifying about leaving every single scene with a “What is going on?” feeling hanging in the air. And worse off, nothing much of what’s happened got resolved. ![]() That’s pretty much what “Southwestward” feel like-a limbo of an episode where way too many questions are asked than answers given. In this episode of Attack on Titan, Connie comes home to what’s essentially a ghost town, Christa and Ymir have a little moment in which something seemingly huge to the plot gets revealed, and Pastor Nick finally grows a very tiny set of balls to clue the Survey Corp in just enough about what is actually going on so our heroes can get out of the limbo the next episode. This Attack on Titan review contains spoilers. ![]()
