MAJOR ATTACK ON TITAN ANIME + MANGA SPOILERS

MAJOR ATTACK ON TITAN ANIME + MANGA SPOILERS

floch:

hatred, disgust, maybe even abhorrence are most of the reactions to floch forster’s character. and that is understandable. people hate floch because he wanted erwin to live, described erwin as a devil, and dissed armin. people hate floch because he didn’t understand what the scouts went through prior to him joining them. people hate floch because he is a yeagerist. people hate floch because he was the cause of hange’s death. and there is much more.

something i believe people don’t realize is that floch is a representation of the audience/reader.

rationally speaking, saving erwin is the obvious choice (at first), but throughout the series, armin’s character had been developed in front of our eyes. erwin is an established character, hence why people are more attached to armin.

after witnessing all of the deaths derived from erwin’s lead, floch grew to despise him, but he understands that erwin is the only person capable to lead.

bias. that is what a lot of attack on titan fans are. and what angers me is that they don’t notice that they are biased.

many proudly claimed that they are yeagerists and are for eren. they say that after three seasons of supporting eren, how are they supposed to hate him now? dude they’re literally floch kinnies.

from that reaction alone, floch embodies the general audience. at first they agree that erwin should be the one to live, then they are in support of eren despite him continuing the cycle of hate. honestly, people are so stupid.

floch provides an opposing view. and i admire him because he strongly believes that it serves a good purpose. he truly believes that working with eren and following his ideals will benefit the world. maybe he is right. but either way, i don’t agree.

even so, i think floch’s position in the story is highly important. without him, we wouldn’t be able to understand the opposing side, whether we agree with them or not.

floch’s character offers a different perspective. people are in support of the main characters because the story is following them. like gabi. people quickly hated on her but disregard the propaganda that has been shoved in her face since she is a child. we’re told that brushing our teeth twice a day is healthy, but then all of a sudden it is not. wouldn’t that confuse you because you’ve been told that brushing your teeth twice a day is healthy?

being open-minded will always be better than being stubborn. trying to understand floch’s point of view is understanding why the majority of the attack on titan fandom his terrible comprehension skills.

so why do people who agree with floch, hate him? they see a reflection of themselves and disapprove of it, but they don’t want to admit it to themselves that they are just as blind as floch forster.

sorry for dissing the fandom. AHAHA ! i just get really annoyed with like 75% of the fandom because they don’t understand the significance of a character, scene, or other aspects of the series. there is always a purpose for each character and moment.

i don’t love floch but i don't hate him. although i do think his character is vital to the story.

MAJOR JUJUTSU KAISEN MANGA SPOILERS

maki:

in light of chapter 144, maki’s appearance sparked havoc due to her injuries and haircut. many realized the parallel between her and toji, but yk me being the genius that i am, i realized this when gege first introduced toji fushiguro’s character.

toji cannot utilize cursed techniques, therefore, having no use in the jujutsu world, just like maki. they both are cast aside and looked down on by their family. they also resent their family and left. the parallels between the two are undeniable.

in chapter 110 maki meets toji for the first time, baffled by his technique, despite him not being able to use cursed techniques as well. at this moment my theory was proven. toji is maki at her best.

flash forward to chapter 144, maki’s haircut is similar to toji’s. how is maki going to utilize her experience with toji? how is she going to maneuver herself to be like toji or even, one day, surpass him?

maybe maki is “destined” to be a better version of toji. toji is an anti-hero, someone who isn’t good nor bad. he wasn’t a good father but genuinely cared for his son. i believe maki will become better and utilize this “misfortune”.

her motivation, drive is admirable. i love maki.

it was mentioned by momo before that a man with scars is seen as honorable, but scars on women are seen as flaws. maki now has scars across her face. how is that going to affect how the zen’in family views her?

MAJOR ATTACK ON TITAN SPOILERS

jean kristein:

jean is probably the most relatable to the common man within the story of shingeki no kyojin (aot). prior to the beginning of the story, all of the characters have their separate lives: eren with mikasa and armin, reiner with bertholdt and annie, and etc. out of all the background stories, jean’s is normal, or what normal can be on the island.

he grew up with a loving mom, and although he finds her embarrassing, he was still able to grow up with a rather peaceful life. thus, leading him to join the 104th scout regiment to live a lavish life in the wall of sina. when i first began attack on titan somewhere in late 2015 early 2016, i agreed with jean’s thought process. yes people are dying, yes people are living in a cage, yes people don’t have “freedom”, but that is not my life (or yk if i was living in jean’s position and in the universe). death, massacre, genocide even, is inevitable. HA ! that's someone who has been living in a comfortable bubble would say.

i, like jean, have never gone through the horrors of life compared to characters like levi or reiner. who cares about other people when you can live a comfortable life. oh, the privilege dripping out of my mouth when i say that. nevertheless, jean’s rose-tinted glasses are broken once he sees half of marco’s body.

why was this so traumatic? some people said they didn’t even rememberer marco or didn’t pay attention to him, but why? i did. the effects of marco’s kindness, observations, and mere presence were comforting. it almost makes you forget the reality of the situation until those moments become mere memories.

through this, he develops drive and motivation. after seeing reality, tell me, how can one standstill?

maybe this should’ve been a post about marco, but this about how he had a big impact on jean’s awakening.

jean kristein is a common man, then became a character whose maturity is clearly shown throughout the series. ignorant to a man who sees it as it is, not what he wants it to be. no longer a “common man”. that is why he is admirable to me. (that's also why i'm in love with him)

eren yeager, ymir fritz, zeke yeager, floch forster, etc may be well developed characters, but, jean clearly demonstrates growth in people. a change in perspective. a change in heart.

i have a lot of character analysis stuff about a bajillion characters and all of a sudden i got an urge to write about certain aspects of them. hehe

ATTACK ON TITAN CHAPTER 139 SPOILERS

chapter 139. what a beautiful ending.

through the rollercoaster of emotions that many have embedded into the series, i believe this is how it all should end.

i understand that some may not like the ending because they simply expected an action-pact ending. this story is not a simple hero's journey type story. attack on titan is a plethora of opposing perspectives, reactions, and personalities of which are all complex.

within this cruel world, all we can do is fight.

"if we win, we live. if we lose, we die. if we don't fight, we can't win. fight. fight."

persevere through the adversities that are inescapable when born into this world.

what else can we do?

mikasa, truly the beauty of the cruel world.

armin, the world's savior.

eren, the sacrifice.

bittersweet isn't it?

in a world overflowing with different perspectives and interpretations, it is inevitable to be in conflict, but we can focus on how to make it right. peace may never be achieved and yet we have to strive for it.

thank you isayama-sama.

i got a headache from crying. thank you.

MAJOR JUJUTSU KAISEN CHAPTER 145 SPOILERS

since the new jujutsu kaisen chapter was an information dump, there are lots of loose theories that is possible but do not have enough evidence to be plausible.

but something that stuck out to me is the fact that gojou is responsible for getting rid of the only two things that could get him out of the prison realm.

i don't think gojou had foreseen him getting captured by the prison realm, but tengen mention "destinies" and i was wondering if that is an important aspect of the story in the future.

is it possible that gojou intended to stay there because it always bothered me that gojou was so relaxed after being captured? even though he possesses six eyes, shouldn't he still be a little concerned for the well-being of those who he is protecting, and if not, concerned for his students?

also, the angel, kurusu hana. i wonder how she is going to be relevant to further the plot of the story.

i saw some theories that tengen is working with kenjaku because of his power and their similarities, but i don't think that would work because what would it add to the story?

oh hey tengen the powerful guy. oh ahahah no! plot twist! he's actually working with kenjaku! and now you're all fucked!

how would that theory progress the plot? but i acknowledge that these are empty theories that could end up being true because we don't have enough information about it.

anyway, how do you feel about this chapter and how do you think it'll progress?
