Attack on Titan (SUB) - 3x21 Attack Titan - Reaction 

"Whose Memories are those?" The words that shook the entire fanbase!

Grisha after knowing Eren's friends names are Armin and Mikasa : 👁👄👁

Also, an answer to the question as to why they couldn't just both leave is that, as far as the owl knows, you can only get to the walls unharmed if you posess a titan. As a normal human you'd probably just get eaten. There might be a chance that an experienced titan shifter could protect another human from titans but the risk of getting eaten by titans is still higher, grisha is unexperienced and eren kruger probably didn't want to endanger the mission.

The owl is such a memorable character

I still remember the way I flipped my desk chair when the "save Mikasa, Armin" realisation hit😅

hahaha, look at the 3 of them scratching their brains confused because of the last lines. "to save mikasa, armin ..." hahahaha

one of the best endings to an episode

I am not sure if this comment will appear at the top or get lost.. But be careful reading these comments. I know you all are probably ahead a couple episodes on Patreon.. Some people are enjoying giving spoilers just to come off as a WOW factor, even if they are small ones that will be answered much later. For your question, as irritating as it is, you WILL find the answer the more episodes you get into. But hopefully everyone will keep it at "The OWL let Dina become a titan for a reason." and hope we just leave it at that lol

Response to Editing Lia asking why the owl couldn't save both Dina and Grisha. Everyone initially has this question but the answer is pretty obvious, there was no point in saving her. For this plan he only needed Grisha and Dina would just be a hinderence moving forward, in his journey to the walls and in his mission afterwards. Furthermore, I believe he wasn't even sure whether to do it or not till the last moment he pushed the officer off the wall.

That final scene is one of my fav of the whole series. It comes out of nowhere, leaves you confused and the ost playing makes it so awesome. I wonder how many teories were made when this first came out in the manga

The only reason I can think of as to why the owl didn't save Dina, or the other Restoranists is that sneaking that many people into the walls would have been impossible, Grisha was extremely lucky to get inside without being reported to the Military Police. There's also only one person the Owl can make a titan. There's still hundreds of titans between the sea and the walls, those titans would be attracted to any humans in the area, and any titan shifters. Grisha has never even used a titan before, getting there on his own was difficult enough nevermind trying to protect Dina or his comrades aswell.

iS hE eReN?! Yeah, Eren Kruger

They were so excited getting answers and things starting to clear up for them. And then we have that final scene... :P (Also it might be good to rewatch these two episodes since you binged a lot in one sitting in order to digest the information because it's very dense) Can't wait for season 4, it's an epic masterpiece!

Good job Editing Lia 👍 No one seems to catch and really understand that scene with Ymir (the Scout) in the moment. She's only had her Titan for 5 years, so when she says she's going to die soon, it's not because of the 13-year Curse of Ymir.

7:45 Good question but that will be explained later in the fourth season & final movie as well 😌

"oh great! This episode explains a lot!!!" ......randomly Mikasa Armin scene... "ah sh1t, here we go again ..."

That's correct, the reason Ymir decided to go with Reiner and Bertolt is so they don't get replaced when they go back to Marley empty handed, her being a titan makes it valuable enough, so that's why they decided to return, so yes, once they are in Marley, they sacrificed Ymir and stole her titan to one of the other warriors, just like Reiner and Bertolt got theirs.

The reason The owl didn't save Dina isn't ever made clear and is kind of a minor plot hole or rather a "motivation hole" if you will. However later on in the show it is essentially of solved. My rational when originally watching the episode was that The owl wasn't sure if he was gonna save grisha and let him inherit his titan yet. He might have been considering it but wasn't fully on board until grisha recognized the other officer and was reminded of his sister's death. My guess is that is when The Owl decided he was gonna save him. But that's just my personal theory.

editing lia predictions are on point.

haven't watched your channel in a while, its great to u guys together irl

16:54 *_"To save Mikasa..."_* (3x21) *_"But I wanted to save her as soon as possible."_* (1x06) 💀

My favorite channel with the AoT!! Lets goooooo❤

You gotta take into account the profile of Eren Kruger and his mission, he doesn’t seem to have knowledge of paradis and there is the danger of other titans for a normal human. Also, he mentioned he wouldn’t want to leave a royal blood carrier to fall into enemy hands, whether it be for Marley, paradis’ king or a random titan.

8:40 *"What are you doing?"* 9:11 *"What the hell did you come for?!"*

17:10 *"Whose memories are those?"* (3x21) 💀 *"Whose memories are these?!"* (3x06) 💀

The owl allowed Dina to die because she had Royal blood. The Vow Renouncing war is only effective to Royal Bloods who posses the founding titan. That means, Marley can claim the founding titan and use a royal blood as a shell to store it (it will not fight!). The owl wanted Grisha to take founding titan so someone non-royal can posses it, thus ALLOWING RETALIATION. And even if Marley gets the founding, Dina was the last of royal blood to use (unless Zeke confess). So still, they will store it to non royal who can abuse the founding power anytime. I HOPE THAT HELPS

16:43 what a smart

The "Curse of Ymir" is finally revealed! So in a way, Shadis was actually unknowingly right about Grisha "cursing" his son as he doomed him to a short life... Poor Mikasa is going to lose both Eren and Armin now. "You should go for it. You're both murderers with *short lives* ahead" -Reiner to Bertholdt about confessing his feelings to Annie, 2x10 Reiner basically talking about the 13 year lifespan... Eren looked so tired and just hollow this episode. It's such a far cry to how he was in S1 when he had so much energy and passion in everything he did. Goes to show even more how much he's been through in these 4 months, and how tired he is at this point. Having to relive memories of people with tragic pasts and dealing with the fact that he only has a few years to live now certainly doesn't help. Loved what they did with Ymir's letter scene since this was originally where her backstory (2x10) was going to be shown. The name reveal of the Attack Titan was also fantastic! The name has literally been in front of us this whole time lol "If you want to save Mikasa, Armin, and everyone else, you must master this power" -Grisha to Eren, S1E10 "To save Mikasa, Armin, and everyone else, you must see it through" -Eren Kruger to Grisha, S3E21

This is random but im deadass its been forever since we’ve had a Q&A from you guys.. WE’RE HUNGRYYYYY🌚

16:41 - "wait but what if he touches Zeke"? Shhhhh! 😂 Omg

I think the answer is for two reasons, one for Eren's mom to get eaten to create this determination to wipe out the titans and two is to remember the smiling titan she was eaten by and when the time came in a near fatal situation, Eren activated the founding titans abilities from touching someone with royal blood.

Hi guys, I love your AOT reaction videos. In 11:55, that vacant seat wasn't intended for Commander Erwin, it was for Sasha, she's not with them since she's still recovering from the injuries she had.

Agree with the others about not paying much attention to comments. As you get closer to the end of the series more new viewers will come in and inevitably a percentage of those will spoil major plot points.

[No Spoilers] "Why didn't the Owl save Dina" is a common question for viewers and there *is not* a definitive answer stated outright in the series. As you learn more about the story, there are more theories that you can come up with. But with what you know right now in the story, the best theory is just that it would not be logistically viable to save two people. We know that the first titan transformations are hard to control (recall when Eren punched Mikasa as a titan) but even if you could successfully carry a second human to the wall, how do you get both people inside? With one person, "I have amnesia" is plausible. But two people who BOTH have amnesia is much harder to believe and much likelier to draw suspicion. So all things considered, it made the most sense to save only one person, and the person the Owl chose was Grisha.

The Marleyans are dropping off the Titans on the island as a form of containment. They are afraid of being re-conquered by Paradis so they use the Titans of prevent the Eldians from exploring outside the wall, to prevent them from discovering the outside world.

The reason why the owl couldnt save Dina is not something i can say without you completely finishing the show. But there is a reason.

To answer your question as to why Kruger didn't save Dina: It is VERY hard to reach the Walls all the way from the sea. It was addressed in Season 2 when Reiner & Bert had Eren hostage in those massive trees. Eren doubted whether he would even be able to run away in his titan form or just be overpowered by all the mindless titans out in the wild. Plus if Dina was left alive you can bet Grisha would value her safety over his own rather than focussing on himself and the mission, which could lead to them both getting eaten. Kruger doesn't want the mission to be jeopardized so he only kept Grisha alive, the only one who would have the titan powers to actually reach the wall by themself.

13:55 Eren pudo usar el poder del Titan Fundador en ese momento, porque su papá Grisha devoró a Frieda Reiss con el poder del Titan de Ataque. Eren en su poder tiene 2 titanes actualmente, el de Ataque, heredado de su papá y el de Frieda Reiss (El Fundador), obtenido por su papá. Eren no puede usar el poder del Fundador, ya que Grisha y Karla (sus padres) no pertenecen a la realeza, pero Eren pudo activar el Titan Fundador al tocar a Dina, ya que ella aun siendo un titan, Tiene sangre de la realeza. Espero haber ayudado un poco.

17:12 never seen a such confused human being than the girl on the left

15:02 Lia you're so smart

Hard to give answers to your questions without spoilers, but suffice it to say the Owl didn't have any other choice in his actions.

One of the reasons why Kruger didnt save Dina is the same reason why they didnt try splitting the syringe for Armin and Erwin, they only had one titan shifter to eat. The other would have to remain a pure titan or die right there. Also, if Dina was saved what life would she have been able to go back to? The boat was destroyed but its not like she could have gone back to Marley anyways. She had no fingers and without becoming a titan she couldnt grow them back. The only path forward for her if she was saved was to risk getting to the walls with Grisha on his first transformation. And lastly, what Kruger kinda leaves unsaid here; he says he trusted the mission to Grisha and no one else. He might have thought it was too much of a risk to send the pair of them into the walls together to complete the mission... especially since he knows he is going to die right there and only Grisha will have his memories to guide them.

When you think you got answers and understand almost everything Eren Kroger's line comes to tell you there's too much you don't know yet

- IS HE EREN? - NO Also this guy: My name is Eren Kruger.

"Why didn't the Owl save both Grisha and Dina" Good question. That's something I asked myself immediately after watching this episode. Of course, I learned the answer way later on in Season 4 so yes they DO answer why. But even in the current circumstance, Dina AND Grisha both making it to the wall may have posed a ton of problems. It's one thing for one person to find themselves outside the wall with amnesia, but to find TWO of them? Dina is also a royal, so the king at the time (Uri Reiss), would probably immediately know what's up with some Paths shit. Isayama could have, at the time, avoided that even larger plothole by just Titanizing Dina Fritz instead.

Curtney: Annie. Molly: Hangee. Lea: Sasha.

These comments are DUMB.. they basically spoil you .. i hope you don't read them

Not sure if this was caught on, but the Japanese title of the show is Shingeki no Kyojin. Which we now know is The Attack Titan. The title attack on Titan is a mistranslation that unfortunately stuck.

They aren’t ready for what’s to come! I’m Looking forward to more.

If you guys are like 7 episodes ahead in patreon like haylo & Kiss you guys would get so much members

Regarding the question about letting Dina live, there is more to it but explaining it would be spoilers.

Yes, there is an answer for the question of why the owl didn't save Dina, but you need to know more things. Then, with all the info, if you think again about this question you would find the answer

7:47 Maybe it's because there's only one titan that can be inherited, and it'll be too difficult for her to make it to the walls let alone continue the mission. And maybe for the same reason he didn't save the others, Grisha was the one he chose as the best candidate, so there was nothing he could really do to help since they'll probably not survive long here anyway (they do all have their fingers cut off). Also, I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned by now so I don't think I'm spoiling, Dina having royal blood also means it'd be impossible for her to complete the mission since once she gets the Founding Titan she'd just be taken over by the will of that one king that brought everyone into the walls in the first place

Just imagine Grisha's face reaction after he meets Mikasa and Armin for the first time. 😹😹😹😹😹

just know by the end of it it will all make sense... but now its soo confusing.. :D :D dont worry about it just go along and let them explain slowly lik ethey did before.. :D its one of the greatest stories ever...

Kruger let Dina die because she was too important to be kept alive. If at any point Marley gets their hands on her, they gain access to a near infinite supply of royal blood (by turning her into a baby factory). Reminder that Marley's goal is to steal and use the Founding Titan. Right now, they have a plan to steal it (using the Warriors). But they have no plan on how to use it, because they can only use it with royal blood, which they don't have access to (reminder that they don't know about the Vow Renouncing War, only the Restorationists know about it). Dina completes the other half of their plan. This is a man who spent years killing his own people for the mission. Killing one more, even if it was someone with royal blood, is par for the course.

What was Ymir's motivation to sacrifice her life to return her titan to Marley, the nation that turned her into titan again?

And now the plot thickens! What a fantastic episode

there is a constant high frequency sound in the background, makes it kinda hard to watch the entire video once you notice it.

That is a good question, but personally I don't think the owl needed her, he needed Yeager because of a certain power, where the owl knows some things. So he clearly doesn't need her, he just knows she's is important but not to him. The end of this episode hints on a possible reason why he didn't save her

Those are grisha's memories. grisha told eren the exact words before turning him into a titan.

"I'm not really watching the show Cortney" Consistently has 130 IQ takes and points out plot-holes only the most avid manga readers had a problem with. Is there any reactor more based than her? Guys, I think I'm in love

I always thought Dinah's royal blood made her too valuable/dangerous of an asset to have out in the world. Any person/group with bad intentions could use her and her offspring to potentially control that founding power.

Watching people go through these episodes after you have gone through the same shit is the funniest thing.

There is a reason the owl didn't save her, but It's a spoiler. Keep watching, everything will make since by the end.

The title of this episode is actually a twist. It and the name of the show is the same, "Shingeki no Kjojin." The Japanese singular/plural word for person/people is the same, like sheep or fruit in English. I think a better translation is "The Advancing Titan(s)." So when you first start watching the show, you think it's about humans defending against the titans. But this episode, we learn that the show is about Eren, the main character. Now that the titans aren't a threat, we see what the show is really about.

13 years curse is because of Ymir died 13 years later after awakening her titan power plus the people inside the wall got their memories erased from ouside the wall by the king

I made sure to not include any spoilers in this comment for you guys The owl sacrifices Dina for the cause of retaking the founding titan because he entrusts the future of this cause to Grisha. He believes Grisha will accomplish this mission due to the trauma he endured when his sister was murder. Basically he is putting his faith in Grisha painful experience to finish what he started but its was made them both revolutionaries. This painful experience is what binds Grisha Yeager to Eren Kruger, since Eren Kruger parents were killed in front of him, he continued on with his revolutionary beliefs despite making very little difference in their cause (all he accomplished throughout his 13 years is severing fingers from other Eldians). Eren Kruger is a Cynical character who would rather put his faith in other people pain instead of their decency. Letting Dina die is simply adding more fuel to that painful experience. As far as practicality about why he let her die, its simply he decided to not save her for his belief because he has done this countless times.

I figured it all out. Eren Kruger is Eren Yeager, Grisha is Mikasa, and Dina is Armin! /sarcasm

I think that the Owl might have chosen to save Grisha last minute, because of that other cruel soldier, that's why he didn't save Dina too 🤔. Or idk

There are multiple reasons why the Owl couldn't save her. - One they lesser people on their island so it would be hard. - On the island they got ship to, many titans can eat you before you get to the walls - Final point is a spoiler

y'all may take forever to update but it's worth it 😫

You will find out why the Owl didnt save Dina........ Just keep watching.

7:10 "Some say she touched the source of all living matter." Seems like an important line to remember.

It is funny how confused they all are😊

There are cliffhangers and then there are cliffhangers💀

7:45 Most of us know the answer to your question. But, we can't tell you due to spoilers.

7:47 Well the actual answer is a huge spoiler so i wont answer that part, but I'll answer what i can based on the information given so far: To put it simple, the Owl is risking so much right now. He knows that his successor will be Grisha and only him. So he must do whatever he can in order to protect him. He cant protect both of them. He could only save Grisha because he was the one responsable for turning him into a titan and then gave the excuse that he wanted to ask him some questions before injecting him. Someone else was in charge of turning Dina, if he would've stepped in to save her as well it would've been too suspicious, or the other guy would've turned Grisha then instead, since it would seem Kruger was done interrogating Grisha. So, to conclude, he couldn't save Dina because it would've been too sus given that there were a lot of guards around wheb Dina was brought, and he knew he had to save Grisha so he sacrificed her so the enemy won't exploit her. That's my explanation for this right now. There's one part that I cant answer right now, but if you know, you know 😉

Think there might be a subtitle issue so not positive but I think the line "To save Mikasa and Armin" is said by Grisha to Eren when Eren transforms for the second time (to block the cannon ball in episode 9). Wibbly wobbly, timey wimey shit going on here.

Zeke is so good

It’s actually a terrible, terrible, reason why the owl couldn’t save Dina. Just know that it does connect.

Please don't skip the opening of season 4, there's no spoilers there. We want to see you're reaction on it.

I think if Dina lived, Grisha wouldnt keep going in this mission

DONT ASK IT 7:47 We cant tell you that. answer is a spoiler.

I suppose it's possible The Owl/Eren Kruger COULD have acted sooner to save both Grisha AND Dinah, and no real reason is given in-story for why he didn't. So chalk it up to reasons of "Plot Necessity" or "Plot Convenience," IF Dinah HADN'T been a Pure/Mindless Titan (of Royal Blood, still) in S2, the Scouts and everyone would've died during the "Rescue Eren" Mission. It's when Eren touched her with his punch that his ability to unlock and use The Coordinate/Founding Titan power to command and summon Pure/Mindless Titans to their defense manifested itself. At 10:01 Edit: Yes, you have the right of it, pretty much. The "who" will be revealed in S4. Notice Freida Reiss' eyes around 12:53 (ish); they're naturally light blue, but when she's "possessed" by The Will of The 1st King of The Walls (who renounced violence), they turn violet. You'll see this again in a real mind-screw episode in S4. ETA: IMO Historia doesn't need to be a Titan for Eren's touch to unlock his Founding Titan ability. She's of Royal Blood, so that's all that's needed: touch. What if he touches Zeke? Interesting. VERY interesting....maybe S4 will answer that question.... ETA Again: Imagine, years from now, Eren comes home and says "DAD! Meet my new friend! His name's Armin!" Just imagine the "WTF/OMG?" moment Grisha has That Day... And then as a physician, he meets a young couple, and the wife's pregnant, and they tell him, "If it's a girl, we'll name her Mikasa..."

why they can't save more people including his friends if Eren Kruger turned into a titan earlier? It's not explicitly explained but I also believe it would be difficult to sneak into the walls and live a life if there were more than 1 person. Just Grisha himself, it's possible if he feigned memory loss. But 2 or more people? The military would for sure be asking questions.

“ is he Eren? “ kkkkkkk

To answers the question only a titan would be able to make the trip from the from their location to the walls without getting killed by others titans around. Kruger would've died so he can only save one person by giving him his power the others will all die.

la colorada del centro la tiene reclara jajaja... nadie entendia en ese momento, despues todo se aclara

WHEN FICTION PEAKED RAHHH

Answer to why the owl couldn't save Dina, i'll say it's already been dertermined 👀

10:14 - Ever play the hot/cold game? Hint: Really hot with that observation. Also why didn't Eren Kruger/The Owl save Dina as well? Well the answer is simply...It's a fucked up world and shit just happens. I'm sure The Owl had a plan of sorts but he couldn't control what was happening at that moment in order to PERFECTLY pull out a win by saving both Grisha and Dina. Especially if you consider the logistics of having to pass on information to Grisha, pass on his Titan to him while ensuring that he had a opportunity to kill any survivors without risking the lives of Grisha or Dina. Lastly, Dina isn't technically dead when she's turned into a Titan. Sure she is trapped in a waking nightmare but she isn't technically dead. She was put into "Pure Titan Storage" which is still better then being dead or turned over to the Marleyeans. Also the Owl didn't know that Eren would end up killing her in Season 2 because that's a future event.

7:45, i mean i can, but i won't because it's gonna be a major spoiler, we talk about this later in The Final Chapter Part 2 (the last episode)

Great reaction! I would also love to see your reaction to the 'Rose of the Versailles' series, especially with the upcoming movie release!

just so you know, theres an answer to your question about the owl saving dinah, but answering it would be a spoiler. seriously, at this point you should stop asking your viewers questions as most every answer will be a spoiler. just assume that anything you want to ask has an answer upcoming.

the Attack Titan's inheritors have the ability to see the memories of the Titan's future and past inheritors. thats why Eren Kruger saw a glimpse of eren's memories. and there is a reason Kruger let dina become a titan, imma leave it at that.

bro i always feel that the left girl doesnt give a fuck about the show hahaha

hahahahahaha! Mikasa & Armin!!!!!!!! WTF is happening!!!!! hahaha Keep calm, Everything comes, girls

Eren doesn't wanna turn Historia into a Titan because she wont revert back she'll be mindless like that titan Dina was. And Eren doesn't wanna do that cause it's F'd up and Historia is the homie.

Masterpiece episode 🔥🔥
