  I wish you had addressed when Reiner says, "Why there'd have to be people like this? Why?" It shows the reason why he was so conflicted. There were no devils on Paradise as Marley had thought him, there were just people. People like everyone else he's ever met.

  I love how Reiner revealing his delayed regeneration to Eren to seem like a normal human in this episode is reversed masterfully when Eren does it with his eye and leg in Marley.

  Funny how the 104th Cadet corps has 5 Titans , an Ackermann, a Genius and The Queen. Only Jean and Connie have nothing to hide because they are normal.

  This episode is shocking on the first watch, and very sad on the second. Reiner's break is just so painful to watch.

  Isayama's design for the Female Titan is actually quite wild because even at first sight, the Female Titan looks exactly like Annie. Like, once you see the Female Titan, it could not be anyone else. Without any of the hints of the next episode, you know for a fact that the Female Titan is Annie. Which, then, makes it so obvious that Reiner is the Armored Titan and Bertholt is the Colossal. Which is so weird because I didn't think the Armored looked like Reiner prior to that. But it definitely looks exactly like him in retrospect. I don't know how he freaking did that. It was so obvious from the start.

  Girl: All boys do is lie.<br><br>Reiner: I&apos;m the Armored Titan and Bertoldt is the Colossal Titan.

  I like how Eren kept denying Reiner and Bertoldt being Titans, until Eren saw Reiner&apos;s arm heal.

  I have to say, my absolute favorite moment of the reveal was how my sister and I guess it minutes before the actual reveal. Not because of any of the foreshadowing or the good writing or anything like that, we missed all of that on our first watch through. <br>We guessed it because after the &quot;Ymir&apos;s a titan&quot; reveal, we started joking to each other, &quot;Fuck it, everyone&apos;s a titan. Reiner&apos;s the armored titan because he&apos;s buff, and Bertholdt&apos;s tall so he can be the colossal titan.&quot; We were just joking, and then the reveal happened the way that it did and we fully lost it. Favorite moment of the entire series, just because of that

  During the Reiner reveal, besides Mikasa hearing the news, Sasha also heard it even though shes further away. Showing how good her hearing is. A nice little detail.

  I&apos;ll never forget Eren&apos;s &quot;what?&quot; mirrored by me saying &quot;what&quot; out loud irl and having to rewind the episode. This is one of the moments that cement AOT as a masterpiece

  I like how the red flag broke off. Symbolizing that Bertoldt and Reiner couldn&apos;t hold their secret any longer.

  I love that the story makes Reiner look like one of the strongest characters in the ahow, but in reality he is actually mentally broken, and had to create a fake persona to cope with his pain.<br>Berthold just closed off all his emotions to deal with his guilt.<br>And Annie had the most most difficultly withit.
