What does make this scene is that it takes it a step further by setting up the dark side of Christa’s character-that she is ultimately some sort of self-serving person who’s trying her damnest to prove to the world that she’s good and noble, even at the expense of her own and other’s lives that she is somehow selfish and selfless at the same time. Unfortunately, it’s also the dullest part.Ī lot of it is due to the fact that most of the conversation between Ymir and Christa is just a rehash of what we already know: Christa has a hidden past, a secret name, and a family that for some reason, she’s estranged from, and Ymir knows about her secret and sought her out because of it. The flashback scene on top of the snowy cliff is arguably the heart of the episode. That being said though, I was a little bored. We got to see some cool Titan-killing action from Mikasa and the rest of the rescue team towards the end, which is always fun. We got to see Ymir kick ass as a Titan-shifter.

We got a better look at the emotional relationship between Ymir and Christa.

I want to say that nothing much happened in this episode because, unfortunately, that’s how the slow, dragging pace made it feel like, but we did gouge a decent amount of things from this week’s 20-something minutes.

My first thought watching this episode was “Marco’s alive?!” I proceeded to spent the next minute and a half wondering how the hell that came to pass when we clearly saw him die in season one before realizing that we opened in the middle of a flashback scene set during the 104 th squad’s trainee days… Anyone else misses Marco as much as I do? This Attack on Titan review contains spoilers.
