53. Part 7 of Reaction to “Attack on Titan” S4E6: “The War Hammer Titan”

Taking the lead in this section as I share with WolfManiac_ and the audience my recent discoveries when it comes to the question of whether or not Eren's actions in Liberio were war crimes (speaking more as an overall thing rather than action-by-action).… It's still a very sticky thing, but even a little glimmer of light is nice to have, given the circumstances. Many thanks to the folks whose posts first highlighted this info for me! This is a particular question that had really gotten to me, as you might imagine. Hopefully I can eventually locate them again and add the comments or excerpts of them to the episode web page in order to credit the specific users. Right now I'm in a bit of a time crunch, however, so the hunt will have to wait.… ========= 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 Season 4 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 regarding Season 4. And if you're a troll who wants to deliberately do that for "fun"? …I'll respond accordingly. All right, folks. Shinzou wo sasageyo!! ========= Abbreviated Content Notice: Same as usual—my coverage of it ranges from PG to PG-13 (mainly PG), but "Attack on Titan" itself is an MA/R series—chiefly for violence. I recommend a minimum age of 15 for watching the show.
