What do you think of Attack on Titan: The Final Season episode 66? What was your favorite part of the episode? I want to say Armin’s entrance, but I think Pieck getting attacked might actually be my favorite part. And afterward, he comments on the destruction he caused by rhetorically asking Bertholdt if he saw these same scenes. By looking at his face before he transforms, you can tell that he’s already feeling guilty about what he has to do. I thought Armin’s internal struggle regarding his role as the Colossal Titan was pretty clear to see in this episode. He knows that his comrades are counting on him - and he’s not going to let them down. After he learned that he was chosen to survive over Erwin, he opined that Levi made the wrong choice and that Erwin should have been the one to live.īut Armin also isn’t one to back down from a position even if he doesn’t want it. Hange is the commander, but Armin is the chief strategist and is the one who planned out the current assault.Īrmin looking down at the destruction he causedĪlso, let’s not forget that the Colossal Titan was forced upon Armin against his will. Now fast-forward to the current story arc, and Armin is responsible for the lives of every member of the Scouts. That was the first time that Armin was responsible for the lives of others. For example, in Season 1, Eren and Mikasa put their lives in Armin’s hands during one of the first times Eren transforms. His personality hasn’t really changed, but his view of his role in the world has - mostly due to the positions he’s been placed in by others. And at this point, I truly think he’s a good character. But he gradually got better with every season.

I’ll be honest, at the start of the series I thought Armin was a terrible character. Yet another character whom we’ve gotten to see develop over the years is Armin. He and the other soldiers are the ones providing covering fire while Gabi and Falco get Pieck and escape to safety. But he still views them as children first and foremost.Įven when ordering them to rescue Pieck, he’s not ordering them to fight. He’s also very aware that they’re Eldians, spawns of the devil Ymir herself. That fact isn’t lost on him and he does treat them as such at times.
Now, Magath still understands that Gabi and Falco are soldiers. Even once he learns of Reiner’s condition, that seems to be secondary in his mind.
Still not convinced? Well in this episode, when Falco meets up with Magath to tell him about Reiner’s condition, what’s the first thing Magath does? He asks Falco if he’s okay and then tells him to get to safety. And again, when Magath is speaking to Willy before his speech, he expresses concern both for Willy’s safety and the safety of the civilians in attendance. Those other soldiers he was willing to sacrifice are grown men. Why did Magath not want to risk Gabi’s life? Because she’s a child. And no, I don’t mean the context of him saying that Gabi is worth more than them because she’s a Warrior candidate. That might not sound like something a “good guy” would do, but you have to add in the context. He’d rather send hundreds of other soldiers to their deaths. In the first episode, he doesn’t want Gabi to risk her life to take out the train. There have been hints of this since the very first episode of this season, but Magath is actually a pretty good guy. One of my favorite, and yet unexpectedly “human” characters on the Marleyan side of the war is Commander Magath.

On the other side, Pieck, one of the “bad guys” puts her humanity on full display when her comrades are killed. At what point is he no longer doing the right thing? And we even see him trying to come to terms with this right afterward. Obviously, this doesn’t make Jean a bad person, but it shows that the line is blurred. By all accounts, he’s one of the “good guys.” And yet, when it came down to it, he was willing to sacrifice Falco, a child, if it meant killing Pieck and ending the war faster. Jean is a Paradis Eldian who’s part of the group we’ve been following since the start of the series. Two great examples of this are Jean and Pieck.
