September’s PSA - More anime, deeper emotional trainwreck
The month will look like a bit chiller than usual, but the current is still maintained thanks to season 3′s current episodes. As September begins, we’ve already finished the first part of the first cour, already several inches deep in the anime adaptation of the Uprising arc, unraveling the mysteries planning around Historia’s family, Levi’s origins, and how Eren is such a big deal for the current king of the Walls.
The first cour should end at the beginning of next month, and even at the end of this month, the plan to recapture Wall Maria should be set in motion, even developing a segment that the beginning of the anime didn’t explore yet: Eren doing hardening training, a vital point to elaborate if the watcher wants to know how Eren is going to plug the holes in Shiganshina, in particular the one Bertolt made 5 years ago.
Meanwhile in the manga, next month will reveal the contents of chapter 109, the third chapter of volume 27. Considering chapter 108 ended on Reiner’s assault proposal, chapter 109 will, most likely, resume the debate about whether Marley should attack early, or wait for the international army to gather.
Meanwhile, several events on Paradis are left pending. For starters, we have Gabi and Falco going in Dauper village for lunch. While it’s ironic Gabi goes to her victim’s birthplace, I doubt she’s going to have some “redemption” arc fandom loves this much. It’s the perfect opportunity to talk about the events happening in Ragako village, especially if it’s to hint further or confirm, that the wine Marleyans have been giving to Paradis contained Zeke’s spinal fluid. Armin is setting Eren to have a talk with him and Mikasa, that’s not going to end up well.
Finally, something I’m expecting is a 4th flashback to complete the Paradis flashback saga, especially since we still haven’t got the triggering point where Eren finally goes outside Paradis to get Zeke, which should’ve happened right before Historia got pregnant. Also, Isayama is doing a pattern with long flashbacks lately. Start at the end of a volume and have the climax on the third chapter of the next volume:
Grisha’s logs: started at the end of vol. 21 to give intense exposition on Marley, ended at chapter 89 on Kruger’s ominous line, as well as his final orders.
Reiner’s flashback: started at the end of vol. 23 with his dream as a child, ended in chapter 97 on his suicide tentative.
So a flashback this month would definitely be conclusive for how Eren slowly decided to take the matter of Paradis’ position into his own hands, and what he and Zeke intend to plan together.
Manga spoilers will be released sooner than usual, since the chapter will be available the 7th at midnight in japan instead of the 9th. Expect the chapter to be leaked 100% for sure the 5th. As a reminder, I’ll keep the #snk_spoilers and #snk_109 as spoiler tags, as usual.
