He said in the previous episode: "Eren Yeager is not my enemy" and "Show yourself Levi, You're running out of time". Levi then looked at the clock when he said that.
Also none of the rocks he threw actually hit any Survey Corps members.

This is one very deadly brotherhood. One is a master strategist and the beast titan the other is a ruthless maniac with three titans. The icing on the cake? Just between the both of them they can access the founding titan. Smells of monkey business.

Falco's the guardian angel for major characters this season. He unintentionally saved Reiner from committing suicide, then he flinched Jean to make him miss to save Pieck, now he saved both Gabi and Jean from killing each other. Had Jean not hesitate and blew up Falco last ep, he would have been an extra casualty this ep. If anyone deserves the Armoured Titan whose purpose is to protect others, it has to be Falco.
Ah so this is the reason why Sasha clips have been blowing up in r/anime recently. Well played and fk y'all.

Especially when he laughs first, that right there is one of the rare ways that people first react to news of death that hits hard.
It's like you don't know what to do with your emotions anymore and they just come out however and you find yourself laughing but it's like a painful laugh...it's just fascinating to me, in the few times that I've ever seen it.

So her death and who killed her was actually spoiled to me years in advance but...
I still had the exact same reaction as Eren did when Connie told him Sashas last words. This was so hard to watch. I never even imagined to be so sad about a side characters death. Mappa did this scene so perfectly 10/10
EDIT:Yeah I guess calling her a side character is not right considering her role and the fact that she's been there since the first few episodes so obviously we have an emotional attachement to her but I still didn't expect her death to hit so hard especially since it was spoiled for me.

Holy moly, the idea that they weren't actually all that hyped and kinda forced into erens plan never crossed my mind. That also explains armins almost soulless eyes when he looked at eren and reached out to him. Eren made armin kill hundreds of innocent people, including children. Levi immediately showed that he wasnt that big of a fan of the whole idea.
No idea how they got zeke on board, its obviously going to have to do with him siding with the eldians because why would he not, but I just dont quite get how exactly it happened. This might be partially because last season has been a while and because Im a goldfish, but I guess its not out of the question that they somehow contacted him.
I love how I have no idea where this is heading with the possible war of all nations vs the island as well as them now having the 2 kids on board.
Episode felt like it had a 5 min duration again, 10/10.
Rest in potato, sasha

Hints to Zeke's betrayal:
Zeke telling Eren in season 3 part 2 that he would rescue Eren from Grisha's brainwashing.
Zeke keeping it a secret from the Marleyans that the reason he had the special ability as a Beast Titan was because he had royal blood, instead he told them Colt might not be good enough yet to command the Beast Titan's special abilities.
Zeke likes baseball, Eren had a baseball glove back in the hospital, did Zeke meet him?
When Zeke arrived onto the battlefield last episode, Jean remarked "he's here" as if on cue, and Zeke then remarked "Eren Yeager is not my enemy".
Zeke was not trapped anywhere like Reiner, Porco and Pieck, on the contrary he encouraged them to go.
After giving an Oscar worthy performance, Zeke then tells Levi that time was running out at the same time Levi was watching the time on a pocket-watch, afterwards Zeke "dies" rather easily to Levi, as if it was all coordinated.
As for Armin, he is also the same as Reiner and Bertold, just like Eren is. However, the difference seems to be that Eren is altogether unremorseful and unhesitant of what he is doing, he thinks it's the only way to move forward it seems, while Armin looks like he would rather talk to Magath and Willy than do this. But Armin knew Eren cornered them into having no choice, lest they lose the Attack Titan, and this was the plan he devised, this was what minimal death needed to succeed looked like.

So, Eren supporting Zeke while Levi was mad with him, And then, Zeke supporting Eren when Hanji was mad with him. Just two half-brothers looking at each other's backs.
Of course, the foreshadowing was in our face from the moment Eren had the baseball glove in his hand on episode 4.

The number of layers here is insane: Sasha spared Gabi's life when she was taking shots in the street, but Gabi later gets revenge and kills Sasha. Conversely, Jean tries to take Falco's life before his thunder spear misses (either by the steam or subconsciously), then on the airship Falco misdirects Gabi's second shot and inadvertently spares Jean. This stuff is wack.

Important to remember Sasha's legacy today. The reason everyone remembers the potato scene is because it's the first moment of levity in a series which had been nothing but horrific up to that point. Across the whole series, she's responsible for the majority of comedic relief. She was a fan favorite because she was a beacon of light in a world that seemed unbearably cruel. Now that that's gone, all we can do is keep pushing forward until the end.

Remember when we lost 200+ no-name Scouts and still considered their operations a success? Now we see our squad come out with a decisive win over Marley with only 8 casualties but the loss of Sasha makes me sick and it's hard to consider this a win, despite this being their cleanest victory yet. It's impactful because we're so used to L after L (ie. the casualties during Female Titan arc for arguably no gain other than to scope out the traitors) and watching countless people die for seemingly arbitrary gains so much so that we've become numb to the idea of randoms dying in AOT.
It's oddly appropriate that after 4 seasons, their most successful win objectively (most damage, least casualties) came at the cost of 1 character that we've been with since S1, furthering the theme that there are no winners and losers; it's just war. If the 8th casualty was just another random scout, we would be sitting here thinking Paradis pretty much had a flawless victory, but having that 'random scout' be a character we're invested in really drives home the narrative that there is no war without loss, and Eren is yet again forced to confront the consequences of his actions.
The writing and adaptation for AOT just continues to amaze me week after week; I never thought I would ever experience such a roller coaster of emotions every single episode.

The irony of Gabi asking Falco "Did you see it happen?" when talking about Marley's attack on Paradis is that since she hasn't seen the attack on Paradis by Marley, she chooses to believe it didn't happen. Yet she chooses to believe the propaganda Marley tells about Eldia's past crimes even though she hasn't seen them happen. Oh the irony.
I swear, Isayama loves his foreshadowing and his ironies. 10/10 adaptation.

Stitches
There it is it finally happened, the moment where we lose our beloved Potato Girl Sasha and the exact moment the entire fanbase turns against Gabi. As a manga reader I knew this was coming and still kept on singing Sasha praises on how amazing she looks in the new uniform in like the past 2 episodes. It hurts but at the same time it's great a reminder that this show is still Attack on Titan. Any moment your beloved character might die. Maybe not from a titan, maybe off screen, or maybe from a gunshot. :(
Yuki Kaji nailed it this episode though. His laugh was just absolutely haunting. I remember a lot of people were left confused at Eren's laugh. Seeing it all animated with Yuki Kaji's voice makes it perfectly clear what Eren was feeling that exact moment.
Anyway at the very least we get to see the disbelief and despair on Gabi's (and Falco's) face as they realize that Zeke sold them all out. Fucking delicious.

Sasha deserved the way she died...
She was always this shay, humble, clueless innocent girl, with little to no malice in her heart, who genuinely cared about others. Some think of her as the comedic relief alongside connie, but more than that, she's a reminder that no matter how crap the world is, there are beautiful things.
She could've died the way Isayama originally planned to, or eaten alive, beheaded by a gunshot, crushed, etc, but no, instead? She got one of the quickest, painless, least gruesome deaths out of the scouts, surrounded by the ones she loved, they also got to keep her body wich is a privilege (remember petra?)
So yeah, if there's a character who deserved to go like that, it's her, now she'll keep an eye on her boys from the food heavens.

I have to say that this last 4 episode stretch is one of the most incredible I have seen in any form of entertainment. And especially the animation this episode in general was so consistently beautiful. From the general quality and expression to the fluidity of the Spiderman 3D movement, literally just perfect. I envy the binge watchers getting to experience this as a movie but I am also so grateful for the anticipation and adrenaline I get waiting weekly. Reiner really was too deep into sad boi hours to feel like doing anything epic, this man got cracked and tapped out. Love that even grown Eren isn't exempt to an iconic Levi kick. And damn, Zeke on that Itachi double double agent arc, makes Levi's take down a little less satisfying but I'm hoping that he eventually gets to fulfill his promise to Erwin. But of course the most depressing moment, we lost our Potato girl RIP 😭🙏 It almost felt like the attack went too smoothly so of course they had to give us this pain. Just wanna say that I'm gonna be fucking heated if anyone has the nerve to harass Gabi's VA or MAPPA for this, literally the worst scum who can't dissociatie impactful fiction from reality. If anything, they should be giving her praise for honestly one of the best VA performances, especially this episode, that I have scene in a while. I appreciate how well her emotional process has been conveyed, just expertly executed. I just really want to mention how well Falco and Gabi have been used in the story so far in not only providing a Marleyan perspective to tragedy, but also an insight into two of Eren's response to said destruction. We've seen both the unbreakable thirst for revenge with Gabi and regret/ desire to protect what he loves in Falco both be expressed in Eren. The reaction from Eren to Sasha's death was so unsettling, both the laugh and the grit is really is the most expression I've seen from him since the season began. Looks like we're returning to a calmer yet tragic atmosphere next episode. I honestly love how much this show messes with my head on a consistent basis.

Firstly, Rest In Peace Sasha, to think two episodes ago she spared Gabi's life.
Wow, so much revealed this episode, so Eren took it upon himself to start this attack and forced the scouts hand because he knew they had to get him back. Even though he acted on his own this is a win for Paradis. They got the war hammer titan, destroyed Marley's fleet and brought home Zeke (who is now an ally). War with the world was inevitable but they now have an upper hand.
Zeke had been acting suspicious all season and I knew he would have something planned since he would be handing over the beast titan soon. His allegiance lies solely with what is best for the Eldians and it seems like he allied with Paradis during the time skip, realizing they had the tools to come out on top.
Although Eren acted out of turn I believe he did make the right call, the others are still wary about the loss of life but Eren is now willing to accept that if it means moving forward. I can't wait to see his relationship with the rest of the team, the future of Paradis lies with him but are the willing to accept what he's becoming?
War with the world is brewing, but Paradis now has an answer to their ever so lacking army, the ability to control thousands of colossal titans.

This is becoming a legendary series. The writing has been nothing short of phenomenal this season. Exploring Reiner's PTSD in a realistic way, providing a running commentary on the pitfalls and human cycle of hatred and war, and how the same pain and suffering just repeats itself over and over.
The fact that Gabi is a controversial character and generating so much conversation tells me she's well-written, whether you like her or not.
Isayama's a phenomenal writer and MAPPA's direction is superb.
The Return to Shiganshina arc probably won't be topped for me in terms of pure emotion because of what was as stake and what it delivered re: the basement, but the writing this season is on another level, especially Episodes 4, 5 and 8.

Jean being mad at Yelena for not keeping the Jaw and the Cart trapped long enough, which caused more casualties on the scouts' side. It did cause more casualties indeed.
But it's interesting to think that Eren would have never been able to eat the Warhammer titan if the Nutcracker Jaw titan didn't escape from their trapped position.
I'm sad that we lost Sasha, and a few of the other scouts. But Eren eating the Warhammer titan, along with killing the Marleyan commanders, as well as Armin destroying the Marleyan fleet, and the scouts getting Zeke out it seems like a very big win for the scouts.

“Did you… see it happen?”
“No, I didn’t.”
“Neither did I.”
- A lot of heavy shit this time, but these must be my favourite lines in the entire story. They just contain so much! I feel like Gabi is not only mirroring Eren, but also a part of the AOT audience itself – everyone who’ve been blindly hating on whoever is presented as an antagonist up until this point. Meanwhile, Falco (kinda like Armin) represents those who’ve been trying to see the bigger picture. Yet they’re both lovable…

I told myself I was going to wait for the series to finish airing before starting AoT. I wanted to be able to enjoy the series without being influenced by any of the hype or biased of it currently airing.
On Wednesday I started episode 1.
Tonight we were able to watch this episode, and I have literally no regrets binging the ever loving shit out of this. Watching this series evolve and develop as I watched just blew my fucking mind. Everything has a purpose, nothing is shown without reason. They constantly blur the lines on who is good and who is evil, right/wrong, and it's incredible. I understand the hype now and am glad to now be a part of this wild ride.
RIP Sasha. I really enjoyed her character the entire series. She came so far from the dweeby meat lover to a dependable member of the SC. I'll miss her.
Zeke a traitor? What the fuckkkkkk? I definitely did not see that coming. 100% thought Levi killed him to fulfill Erwin's orders. This makes things very spicy.

Unpopular opinion, I like Gabi.
She is the next long line of this cycle of violence, much like Eren is. Eren is the final evolution of that character, which is the direction that Gabi will head towards unless she changes her world view.
Falco, having been taught by Reiner, is one of the first characters to not be a part of the "cycle of violence" which is an important development.
I'm pretty sure Eren is going to change Gabi's perspective on Paradis.

Holy shit this episode was so sad, it broke my heart.
Rest in peace to our potato girl, first & foremost. She was truly one of the only lights in the entire show. She's resting in heaven with all the food in the world.
Reiner didn't last long at all. Pieck is down & so is Porco. Marley is in shambles right now.
I have to admit, seeing Levi shit on Eren & Zeke was extremely satisfying, never change Levi.
I wasn't as surprised as Falco & Gabi, to see Zeke in there. I fucking knew everything he said last episode was double speak. "Eren Yeager is not my enemy". & He went super easy on the corps, just throwing a few more rocks than needed.
I don't know what life is anymore. Was Eren seriously laughing? Is he that broken. This really wasn't a victory for Paradis in any way. So much unnecessary death. Senseless killing, just like Jean said. I can't tell what's going to happen anymore. So much pain.

I really wish more of Mikasa and Sasha's small interactions from the manga had made it into the first three seasons. Their relationship was just so pure and sweet, especially considering they have been surrounded by the 4 Stooges(Eren, Armin, Jean, and Cummer) the past almost decade, so they only had each other for actual chick friendship. The scene of her and Armin desperately pleading for Sasha to come back is especially heartbreaking when you realize they hadn't spoken since before the invasion started. Never got a chance to have a "final" interaction. Loved the OST choice, as well as the decision to not have dialogue from Mikasa and Armin. I don't think it's necessary, we all know what they're saying.
I honestly didn't think they could do it, but they managed to make Eren's breakdown almost as ambiguous as it was in the manga. I've always ascribed to the line of thought that it's somewhat like chapter 50, with his desperation against the Smiling Titan, but much more raw and personal. While Hannes was a major figure in his life, Sasha was his family. I do wish they had left in the panel of Zeke giving Eren a concerned side-eye as be breaks down though.
RETURN OF THE KING PART 2! Floch looked so much better this episode, WeightWatchers really worked wonders on him. I'd love to hear some anime only impressions of him thus far and where they think his character will go.
