I was just playing along…so I could get here.”Zeke just wanted to live the rest of his life in harmony, Eren’s betrayal wasn’t worth it“Hey Eren… we're the only ones…who understand, right?”Segment 3: Our opinionsWe do not agree with Eren’s plan we think it is genocide Eren literally orchestrated Grisha’s trauma, which in turn, orchestrated Zeke’s traumaWants to kill everyone except his friendsWants to have kids with Mikasa so doesn’t want to be sterilizedEren is being petty; he wants the non eldians to die because some of them are racist to Eldians which is not cool but that doesn’t mean all of them should be killed Eren was a spoiled child while growing up<span...

Attack on OpinionShould Ymir have left with Reiner and Bertholdt?Episode #5You are listening to Attack On Opinion with your hosts Jenny and Amy.In this episode of Attack on Opinion we discuss: Ymir’s relationship with Historia, Reiner, and Bertholdt, and whether or not it was the right decision for her to leave the scouts.Segment 1: Context of the AnimeAttack on Titan is a Japanese manga series set in a world where humanity is forced to live in cities surrounded by three enormous walls that protect them from gigantic man-eating humanoids called Titans. The story follows Eren Yeager, who vows to exterminate the Titans after they bring about the destruction of his hometown and the death of his mother. Ymir is technically around 100 hundred years old because she was turned into a titan by Marleyan soldiers after the empire of Eldyia lost its power. This was because she represented (they believed she was the reincarnation) of Ymir, the founder of the titans. Therefore, some Eldyians worshiped her to seek out peace. Little did they know, she was simply an orphan that was used to gather money from the people that prayed to her. When the Public Security Authorities found out about this cult, the man who named Ymir placed all the blame on Ymir. Ymir didn’t fight back because she felt as if she did share responsibility for deceiving the people who worshiped her, so she, along many other members, were stoned and turned into pure titans. Ymir has the Jaw Titan power, which was from eating one of Reiner’s friends who possessed a titan power.Ymir and Historia fell in love with each otherReiner has a crush on HistoriaYmir feels guilty about keeping her powers secret and for eating Porco’s brother, aka Reiner’s friend. She also felt indebted to them because their arrival to Eldyia technically saved her life. They kill YmirSegment 2: Audience OpinionsMany people deny the clear intimate relationship between Ymir and Historia because they deny the Lesbian representation, which may influence their opinion on how important it was for Ymir to be sent away. Some people even debate that Historia is straight, which is clearly wrong. But others say that she’s bisexual, which could have some essence to it but she’s only shown interest in Ymir in the show.She does get pregnant but many people say it’s because she had the responsibility to do so, not out of her own will. Majority of people believe it was the right decision to leave and that there’d be no story without thisSegment 3: Our opinionsWe liked Ymir and Historia's...

Attack on Opinion Episode 4: Which Titan is Best? You are listening to Attack on Opinion with your hosts Jenny and Amy.In this episode, we will discuss which titan is the best. Segment 1: Context of the AnimeAttack on Titan is a Japanese manga series set in a world where humanity is forced to live in cities surrounded by three enormous walls that protect them from gigantic man-eating humanoids called Titans. The story follows Eren Yeager, who vows to exterminate the Titans after they bring about the destruction of his hometown and the death of his mother. There are the regular titans who have huge deformed man-eating bodies. They all share some common characteristics. They don’t react to pain, they move as long as there is sunlight, don’t have a functioning digestive tract- they throw up after they’re “full” to continue eating humans. They also were mindless beasts, easy to trick because they had no intelligence. Titans used to be humans, meaning that if the titan dies, they die. This was not a known fact. There were also abnormalities that has some intelligence. Such as the titan in Illse’s notebook that thought she was lady Ymir and began to pray to her. Also, Connie’s mother recognized him and greeted him when he came home. There are nine major titans, each possessing a different power. These titans are conscious because they have a human who is able to operate them- or really, a human that is piloting them. This is different from a regular titan because they can abandon the body they’re operating. Founding titanArmored titanColossal titanFemale titanAttack titanCart titanBeast titanJaw titanWar hammer titanAbout each titan: Founding titan: Belongs to Eren Yeager, giant, by screaming, could turn Subjects of Ymir into Titans, control the minds of Titans, and alter the memories and bodies of Subjects of Ymir.
