everyone was amazing in this episode, but let me tell you who moved me the most.
everyone says he's a poor imitation of erwin, and hear me out. he isn't an imitation, nor is he trying to copy erwin and his ideals. there are similarities end in them being able to sacrifice their humanity for a goal. but that's it.
now, we don't exactly know much about floch. does he have friends? lover? family? we never saw anything beyond him being important to the plot/representation of a certain view in eldia. see, he wasn't given the same treatment as the other supporting characters like connie, sasha, freckled ymir etc who we're able to love because of their humanity. i understand it's hard to squeeze in, but it would've been nice to see him smile, laugh and fool around with people important to him.
but here's what makes him amazing. he held on to his beliefs, his conviction even against all odds. his love for eldia, no matter how convoluted it may seem to many, was geniune.
you can see the desperation in his eyes, actions and voice. floch may be obnoxious at times, but honestly, it's hard for me to hate a character like his. in fact, i'd say he's one of the well-written characters of snk. wished we could've seen more of his other sides.
im no floch stan, neither am i a jaegerist stan. but i love floch's character and his role in snk.
ps. kudos to mappa's amazing animation this episode, and to the talented and dedicated VA of floch, ono kensho.
