Continuing from last time, things
return with the city still being under-siege by the giants. Most of
this episode is to focus in on the hopelessness of their situation
that they are in and not just on Eren's lost of losing his mother to
the Giants. That there are many others that failed to escape the
giants and hide behind the second wall that was at the rear of the
city. However as people are hiding behind this wall trying to escape
the city on boats. It is implied that there is only a matter of time
before the Giants break through this wall as they did the last one.
That these life boats are their only hope but with all life boats
there is never nearly enough. That in the end when the giants do
break through many are left to die while only a few are saved in the
end.
This leads to an explanation of the
structure of the humans defense. It appears that their world is built
up of three defense walls, the one that the giants broke through was
the outer most wall “Maria”. That there are two other wall,
“Rose” which is to because the front-lines since the Giants have
broken through “Maria”. Lastly there is “Sina” which is the
final line of defense, that if that is ever broken then there will
truly be no hope. This event starts a fire in Eren's heart where he
will not rest until every giant is dead, where before he just wanted
to know what was out there. That simple wish has been darken by his
desire for revenge.
Although his revenge is a ways off in
the future, with the increase in population from the refugees and
with the government completely abandoning “Maria” it has just
made the food shortages worse. Then to adjust for this they go on the
offensive to take back “Maria” by sending out 250,000 soldiers,
but the soldiers are not being sent out to fight. However the reality
is that they are being sent to a glorified execution grounds because
no-one expects them to come back. That with 1/5 of the population
dead, the rest of society is save from starvation. Then with this
things seem to have stabilized, this allow enough time to past so
that Eren's can join the army to get his revenge. Then question is
will he be able to survive the training.
