Shingeki no Kyojin - ep03



This is a beginning of another new arc, while the last one was about the fall of wall Maria this time it is about the beginning of Eren's training to become a soldier. In the beginning thing look promising for Eren with him being on of the few that didn't suffer the wrath of the boot camp instructor. Then later on when the others enlistments finding out that he was from Shiganshina where the giants broke through Maria. It leads to him becoming popular with him being about to give a first hand account of what happened there. Although this happy time for Eren doesn't last long when the following day come when their training begins.

It seems that before thing can truly begin they are given an aptitude test on their ability to use the 3D movement equipment. Which it turns out that most are successful while Eren himself fails miserably at it. This leads to him fall very far from where he was yesterday, this leads him into asking everyone he can think of for help. Even the person he least what help from Jean Kirstein who he had a fight with the previous day. That it is through this trial that he finds out who he can trust and also leads him into having some insight into why everyone is here. That it seems that most just wish for a comfortable life at the inner city and don't want to fight the Giants at all. However he found one person that believes in him Reiner Braun, who helps him with adjusting his belt to increase his odds of success tomorrow.

The next day is the day that will determine if Eren will be able to pursue his wish to become a soldier. Although it turns out that no-matter what happens Mikasa is determine to stay by his side regardless of today's outcome, which seems to hint at the fact that Mikasa feels something far deeper that simply being Eren's Childhood friend. In the beginning it seems that Eren is successful but it doesn't take long for things to turn sour. Then once the instructor orders for them to drop him, and follows it up with an order of someone to give Eren their belt. It seems that Eren's failure was not because of his ability but had to do with someone giving him defective equipment so no-matter how skill he might have been he could have never succeed in the first place. Then with his passing he is one step closer to his goal of being a soldier, but it seems that Mikasa seems to believe that he is overjoyed about not having to be separated from her.
