The Jaw Titan (Porco) wasn’t just “being careful”—he got scared the second he realized it was Levi.
During the Raid on Liberio, Porco jumps on Eren’s back trying to bite out the nape and steal the Founding Titan. Before he can even break through, Levi slices the muscles in his jaw. Porco immediately goes “Is that Ackerman?!” and tries to retreat.
Levi already proved he could solo the Beast Titan and cut down other shifters with ease. Combined with the Ackerman clan’s awakened combat instincts (superhuman speed, strength, and battle clarity), even a fast, clawed Titan like the Jaw treats Levi as a real threat.
The rest of the Scouts just reinforced that Paradis soldiers weren’t ordinary humans they could easily overwhelm.
That’s why the reaction flips from confidence to panic so fast.

The way Eren and Zeke reach Grisha inside his memories feels almost impossible at first glance, but it comes down to how the Paths and the Attack Titan work together. Once Zeke’s royal blood activates the Founding Titan, the two brothers step into the Paths and can move freely through Grisha’s past experiences as if they’re walking through them. From Grisha’s perspective, however, he’s not meeting future versions of his sons in real time—he’s receiving those moments as memories sent backward through the Attack Titan, which can pass memories from its future holders to its past ones.
Because Grisha already holds the Attack Titan, he ends up seeing and hearing Eren and Zeke the same way he would any other inherited memory. That’s what lets him react to them, speak to them, and even embrace Zeke at the end of the scene. The interaction looks direct, but it’s really a closed loop: the future versions influence the past through memory inheritance, which in turn makes the future possible.

Yes, Attack on Titan has one of the strongest cases for being the best anime ever made. The sheer quality of its writing is unmatched — the way it plants details early on that only pay off seasons later, the constant subversion of expectations, and the gradual reveal of just how dark and complicated the world actually is create a level of narrative craftsmanship few series even attempt. It starts as a gripping survival story and evolves into a philosophical examination of freedom, cycles of violence, and what people become when pushed to the absolute limit, all while delivering some of the most intense and well-animated sequences in the medium.
That said, “best ever” is always going to be subjective. Some people bounce off the later tone shifts or the ending, and series like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood or Steins;Gate deliver tighter, more consistently satisfying complete packages. But in terms of ambition, thematic depth, rewatch value, and the way it forces you to constantly reevaluate everything you thought you understood, Attack on Titan sits at the very top of the mountain for a reason. Few anime leave you thinking about them the way this one does long after the credits roll.

It does make sense once you look at the exact moment in the Shiganshina battle. Reiner had just been forced into a split-second decision: he could go after Erwin on the wall, or he could try to cut off the Scouts’ mobility by targeting their horses, and then Eren transformed right in front of him. Erwin deliberately put himself in that position as bait so Reiner would have to choose between neutralizing the Scouts’ commander and securing the Founding Titan. Reiner picked Eren. In that specific window, killing Erwin wasn’t the higher-value play for Marley’s objectives, and he was already under pressure from the pure Titans Zeke had brought in.
Reiner also wasn’t operating at full strategic clarity. He was still dealing with the split identity that had been cracking since the 104th days—part of him still thinking like a Scout while the rest was locked into the Warrior mission. That mental fog, plus his single-minded focus on capturing Eren after years of failure, made him underestimate how dangerous leaving Erwin alive actually was. It wasn’t pure mercy or pure stupidity; it was a mix of forced priority, Erwin outplaying him in the moment, and Reiner’s own compromised state. The consequences showed up later, but the choice itself tracks with what we saw of him.

Calling the War Hammer Titan’s limited role “criminal” feels spot on—its ability to shape weapons and structures from hardened flesh on command was one of the most inventive powers among the Nine, yet the story barely scratched the surface after that striking debut in Liberio. “The War Hammer being this underused feels criminal. What do you wish we got to see more of?” captures the frustration perfectly, because Lara Tybur’s brief appearances left so many of those creative applications unexplored, from remote-controlled combat to layered defensive constructs that could have changed the flow of later battles.
What stands out most is how quickly the power transferred without giving it room to shine against other specialized Titans or in prolonged scenarios that tested its versatility. A drawn-out clash with the Armored Titan, for instance, could have highlighted the contrast between fixed plating and on-the-fly construction, while more insight into the Tybur family’s long history of concealment would have added weight to why such a flexible Titan stayed hidden for generations. Those missing pieces keep the War Hammer feeling like one of the series’ biggest missed opportunities for both action and world-building.

In the finale of Attack on Titan, Mikasa Ackerman beheads Eren Yeager to stop the Rumbling, then kisses him in a moment that is both devastating and narratively crucial. While the anime leaves the question of whether Eren could feel the kiss unanswered on a purely physical level, the series’ established rules around the Paths make a strong case that he experienced it. Paths function as a timeless, interconnected plane where the Founding Titan’s power allows consciousness, memories, and emotions to transcend ordinary physical limits. Eren was already engaged with Mikasa in a constructed cabin sequence that overlapped with the real-world events of his death, and his eyes remained open and fixed on her in the moments before the blade fell. Combined with the story’s repeated emphasis that residual brain activity can persist for several seconds after decapitation, the most coherent reading is that Eren was aware of the kiss both as a final physical sensation and as a deeper emotional confirmation within Paths.
That kiss also carries decisive weight beyond Eren’s personal experience. It is the act that finally allows Ymir Fritz to see that love can override the cycle of violence and obedience she has been trapped in for two thousand years, leading her to relinquish the power of the Titans. The anime presents this largely through visual storytelling rather than explicit narration, trusting the audience to connect the cabin dream, Eren’s gaze, and Mikasa’s choice. Whether viewed as a brief window of post-decapitation awareness or as a moment fully realized inside Paths, the kiss is treated as real to Eren and consequential to the world. The ambiguity is intentional: it keeps the ending intimate and open to interpretation while still anchoring the resolution in the relationship that defined both characters from the beginning.

In Attack on Titan, every Subject of Ymir (basically every Eldian who can become a Titan) is a descendant of Ymir Fritz, since she and King Fritz’s three daughters (Maria, Rose, and Sheena) are the origin of all that power and the Paths that connect them. But “royal blood” specifically means the preserved bloodline of the Fritz/Reiss family—the direct royal succession that Ymir still recognizes and obeys because of her lingering devotion to the original King Fritz. Not every one of her countless descendants over 2,000 years stayed in that royal line; most branched out into ordinary Subjects of Ymir, which is why being related to Ymir alone doesn’t make someone royal.
That’s why Eren, even though he’s a Subject of Ymir and eventually inherits the Founding Titan, can’t freely use its full power by himself. He needs physical contact with someone of actual royal blood (like Zeke, whose mother was Dina Fritz, or Historia) for Ymir to respond. The distinction isn’t just “descendant vs. not”—it’s whether the bloodline is close enough to the royal Fritz line that Ymir treats them as her masters. Later in the story this gets complicated when Eren reaches her directly, but the basic rule still holds: Ymir’s descendants and the royal family aren’t the same thing.

The Armored Titan’s full-body plating is legitimately some of the best passive defense among the Nine—ultrahard steel blades bounce off it, cannons do almost nothing, and it can even tank the Colossal’s explosive transform—but that doesn’t make it the strongest overall. The armor is spread across the entire body rather than concentrated, so other Titans who harden selectively (Eren’s fists, the Jaw’s jaws/claws, War Hammer crystal, etc.) end up packing denser, harder material into smaller areas and can literally shatter Reiner’s plates with focused strikes. On top of that, the weight and rigidity kill his mobility and agility, leaving clear weak points at the joints that skilled opponents and later tech (Thunder Spears, anti-Titan artillery) exploit.
It’s basically built as Marley’s “shield” rather than a pure 1v1 powerhouse. Reiner can still charge through walls and dish out serious damage, and he can even shed armor segments for short bursts of speed, but once other shifters start using hardening (or the Founding Titan just decides to strip his plating entirely), the defensive advantage shrinks fast. Matchup, skill, and the shifter’s mental state matter more than the armor alone—which is why he keeps getting outclassed in straight fights even with the best baseline defense.
