This is the episode where Erwin really grabbed my #1 spot, what a fucking badass.

Not ashamed to admit that Bertholdt's breakdown makes me tear up every time. "His breakdown and the things he said also told me that whatever their situation was, it must've been pretty bleak or something if they have to "be the ones to stain our hands with blood"." Absolutely. Also I read somewhere that the reason Bertholdt's sleeping positions were so erratic is that he was having nightmares? If true, RIP my heart, again. If not true, it's my headcanon now too late. I also love Ymir's expression when Bertholdt is speaking. She seemed to understand the context behind his words and looked heartbroken for him? :( I do feel for Eren and what he's been through, but it's Bertholdt and co. that have my heart :(. Which is why Mikasa's cold non-empathy is hard to watch for me. I understand where she's coming from, but still.

So many great moments this episode. My top 2 are the most emotional scene aka Bertholdt's anguished "who the hell wants to kill people" speech; and the most badass scene aka Commander Erwin. What a man! I looked forward to your reaction to this episode just for that scene alone and you did not disappoint. (Btw, @ anyone, when Bertholdt says "someone...please find us"...if someone can please let me know, but *without context/spoilers*, if I am supposed to be confused by that? Reply "yes" or "no" *only*, please. Thanks!)

Bertholdt's emotional breakdown really got to me, mainly because he's always calm and quiet. We never see him like this so it was pretty surprising to see him basically lose it. His breakdown and the things he said also told me that whatever their situation was, it must've been pretty bleak or something if they have to "be the ones to stain our hands with blood".
MVP definitely goes to Erwin! He's a certified badass! Closely following Erwin would be Armin, because good god did he unleash his inner sadistic savageness!
Also, as Connie said, Ymir was indeed lying. Lying about what is up to you to figure out, but one thing that we can definitely take as truth is how much she cares for Historia. How I see it, I agree with Connie, no way would Ymir throw her under the bus like that. Historia to Ymir is what Eren is to Mikasa basically. Whatever her reason, it's mainly with Historia in mind.
Smiling titan has shown up again!! Can't wait for tomorrow!
