Bystander

This is the best episode of my life . I have never cried while watching a anime series or episode, but, for the first time in my life I have cried while watching a anime episode. It is that episode. This is a best episode and very emotional. It is great. 👌👌👏👏👏

I do not know how to avoid spoilers, but this episode is very wonderful. It contains information and answers to questions that we have been asking about for a very long time.

Now we know everything and there are still many secrets that we do not know, but I am sure that everything It will be revealed in the best way and I think that the second part will be more exciting and contain more action.

This is one of the best episode from this most epic series of all time. I for one struggle to become the special one, trying to contract my acts, my deeds, and emotions from people around me. Such urgency is deeply rooted from the pressing hope from my parents since I was a kid. That is when I become something that is not myself, something modeled after hopes and dreams of other people. (back to the episode) When carla responded to the former commander's rant by that simple question, that melts everything, the whole wall of fake and unreal-ism just crumpling down, by the simple, pure love of a mother. If you follow eren's journey from the 1st 3 seasons, knowing Carla and knowing her story, the wave of feeling is simple too strong to resist, too real to not to be touched. It gives a glimpse of light from the dark, seemingly tragic past for the story. Kudo to the producer, director and manga writers of the AOT. Masterpiece of an era. Thank you !!!

This was a very special episode. One of the AOT's many mysteries is Grisha Yeager, and this episode gave us some insight into his backstory. Nice throwbacks to previous episodes, and everything with Shadis and Carla was wonderful. The ending of the episode with Carla talking about Eren being special and Eren reflecting upon himself was very emotional. Storytelling like this is what elevates a show to being legendary.

The first mystery of the series is cleared from such a unique perspective, adding on to the general theme of all great anime (looking at you-Naruto Shippuden) that any person has so many layers and inside each one is such a warm heartfelt and sad history. This episode is one of those that took AOT to legend status (akin to Can't look into his eyes yet, The Defeated, Senshi among other lovely ones )and way further than just a violent saga!
