February’s PSA - The real war can begin!

Here we are for a brand series of new PSAs! The reason why I started these in February is because February chapters always gave a consistent volume conclusion (as it was the case with last year’s chapter, which on top of that also closed a whole perspective), that the chapters were eventually satisfactory (Bertolt taking action, Floch calling the SC out, Eren finding a new, but grim resolve), and because the owner of this blog is a major narcissist whose birthday is the same day of the chapter’s release in Japan.

Isayama just finished chapter 102. Last chapter felt like a first part of an upcoming battle. The fandom’s predictions on what’s going to happen next were mixed.

While I’d love to have an explanation as to why and how Eren and company came inside Marley, I feel like putting a flashback now would break the current action. The audience needs to know why Eren left at that time and how the current state on Paradis is. At the same time, we could have all the information spread on several chapters: we would keep the most on-topic information for this month and leave the rest after. Paradis isn’t the only faction I’m curious about: there’s also Reiner, Falco and Zeke missing from last chapter, Lady Tybur if she isn’t blown off by the thunderspears, Pieck and Porco’s counterattack… I think Gabi and Colt can wait; they’re out of danger for now.

My personal wishlist for not only this chapter, but also the next one will be:

An explanation as to why Eren acted at that time.

Levi reigniting himself through his last vow to Erwin and rampaging his way to Zeke, the same way the warriors slaughtered SC squads as a parallel. Levi reaching Zeke but dying before he can kill him.

Falco’s fate. My personal bet is on fatally wounded and unable to continue.

Reiner trying to find some inner strength in him and taking part in the battle. Bonus if he has flashbacks of Bertolt the way Historia had flashbacks of Ymir.

Jaw and Cartman Titans in action versus SC members.

And finally, who came to Eren’s rescue. Bonus if Floch is there as well and eyerolling endlessly.

According to reliable sources (/u/Moonwalking_Eren), the spoilers are going to drop the 6th. As a reminder, I’ll keep the #snk_spoilers and #snk_102 as spoiler tags, as usual.

EDIT: the editor added there might be a surprise in this chapter. So who else thinks it’s Levi?

Now let’s look at the birthdays for this month.

2nd: Best Sis Frieda Reiss

4th: Your Man Kenny Ackerman

10th: Best Girl Candidate Mikasa Ackerman and Soft Boi Falco Grice

14th: Badass Tall Laydee Traute Carven

17th: Actual Best Girl Ymir and Lynne who Died For Zeke’s Sins

20th: Best Titan Bait Candidate Mitabi Jarnach

28th: OH BABY IT’S A TRIPLE: Marlowe Sand, Peaure and Papa Smith

You can find 2017’s PSAs in the masterpost.

I wonder, how does Annie feel when she hears Marlowe say this? We know that, as and Eldian from one of the Marley Ghettos, she will have indoctrinated into hatred for the Eldians on Paradis Island, particularly having become a Warrior. Her view of the people here would likely be similar to that of Gabi - they are demons, they are evil, they are not *normal* which is what Marlowe is saying he wants to make the MPs.

I also find it quite interesting how similar Marlowe is to Gabi. Both state that they are different from the rest, different from those who are in the same position as themselves. They both seek to go above and beyond the goals of those around themselves, fueled by their own sense of justice.

Also bonus: while it probably isn’t a reference, I couldn’t help but think of the lies/exagerations fed to the people by the Marley of how the people of Ymir oppressed and ruled over the Marley when Annie said this:

Just some things I thought about while re-reading this chapter.

If for a miracle Eren doesn't die, he never come back to be the same person that he was. He would finished like he was tired of live fighting, because now, he seems like he only want that all finish and be free because his battle is for this goal.
