20. Part 6 of Thoughts on the "Attack on Titan" Season 4 Trailer

If you're a suicidal, mentally broken veteran with a split personality, it might feel like there isn't a lot that could make your life any worse. But how about sharing your skull with an also traumatized former comrade whose nickname during the early days was "the Suicidal Maniac," and who also happens to have genuine bloodlust issues? Yes, Reiner—your life CAN get worse. You just better hope he's forgiven you. You DO remember that you also BETRAYED him, right? And that he was kinda upset about it? Yeah.... This episode, I'll finally discuss some key theories and questions I have about the deeply intriguing conversation teased in the trailer, as well as some miscellaneous thoughts as I draw my S4 Trailer Reaction series to a close—for the time being. ========= In this series of episodes about the trailer, I'll continue chilling out and sharing some theories, observations, questions, and general thoughts I have as an "anime-mostly" fan as we examine the Season 4 trailer and consider the 3 seasons of storyline that led up to this moment. I'd already written and recorded these episodes prior to the premiere but hadn't had enough time to get them out as soon as I would've liked. And I'm sure it won't be too long before we get answers on certain things, so I'd like to get these questions and thoughts out there ahead of time. ========= This is one of those episodes where the comment section will be open on YouTube, so feel free to sound off there! HOWEVER...if you're a manga reader, PLEASE make sure to properly mark off and hide from view any spoilers you wish to share (that is, use a spoiler warning and make sure the spoiler material itself is below the "read more" tag). I do plan on moderating comments to try and help people avoid getting accidentally spoiled. And if you're a troll who wants to deliberately do that for "fun"? …I'll respond accordingly. All right, folks. Shinzou wo sasageyo!! Content Notice: This episode is in the PG range, as I will be referencing some topics that are not child-friendly, but nothing graphic. The show itself is definitely an R/TV-MA series, however, and I would recommend a minimum age of 15 or so. That is chiefly due to violence, mainly of the action type. That aspect gets very intense. There's some strong language here and there, but not to where it's really noteworthy, and as far as I can recall, there's been no graphic nudity or sexual content thus far, though there are certain content caveats mentioned in my review.
