46. [Possible Spoilers] Part 12/Bonus of Reaction to “Attack on Titan” S4E5: “Declaration of War”

A key scene from the manga gives a new picture of the dealings between Tybur and Magath, and it brings a truly disturbing new factor into the debate over the civilian casualties in Liberio—plus the attack there as a whole.  This is a separate episode specifically to minimize spoiler risk for anime-only fans. Be advised. And don't worry—as stated in Part 11, this is supplementary material. So if you're an anime-only fan, this is material that may be revealed in the next few anime episodes. And if not, I can give a green light to check out this episode's material later if I feel that's necessary.  ========= Content Notice: Regarding content, most of my coverage of Attack on Titan will be in the PG range, unless otherwise noted. PG-13 will be when we get into things like particularly graphic descriptions of violence and suicide. 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 other content caveats mentioned in my review.
