Shingeki no Kyojin - ep23


Instead of focusing on Eren's latest trial, they instead focus in on Annie and how she has been doing since Trost. That it seems that she has sort of a fondness for Eren in has she warmly remembers him and his attempt to fight fate. This bring up the first oddity about Annie if she cared about Eren why didn't she join the others with joining the Recon Corps, when even Jean joined and he doesn't even like Eren. Then when Armin meets up with Annie in secret, that they are going to escape with Eren. That they want her help, initially she refuse but when she hears that they are planning to kill Eren she changes her mind. It takes them all this time to build up to the true point that this arc is going to emphasis. That is Annie is the Female Titan, that it was very believable that Armin honestly wanted her help.


However once she refuse to go into the underground tunnel, things take a turn for the worse. Then when she raise the question on why the street are so empty, it is clear that she knows something is up. This prompts Armin to question her on the fact that she kill the imprison Titans because when they went to have their gear inspected she was using Marco's gear and not her own. She neither confirms or denies that she did it, but it clear that she probably did. It become undeniably clear who she is when Annie didn't kill him out on the field when she could. That is when she gives the victory to Armin and declares she made her own bet, and she intends to transform. Then on seeing this intent everyone that was in hiding comes out to stop her. However we see the meaning of the ring she put on, that she must have had her suspicion of Armin's motives from the time he first approach her. Now that round three has began how will Eren face the fact that his enemy is someone he once considered a friend.
