Shingeki no Kyojin - ep08


Things start off with Armin holding onto Mikasa's broken blade, and soon after Mikasa throws it away. It seems that Mikasa isn't going let anyone else close to her die, that she intends to take Armin with them. Then as they are about to leave Armin gets an idea, that they use this rogue Titan to destroy the other Titan surrounding headquarters. Although to do that they need to kill the two Titan closes to it, and once that is done it will head in the direction of Headquarters to destroy the next closes Titan. The plan is successful, and with it completion things focus in on the main group that is heading to headquarters. They make it inside only because the Titans are consume with devouring their comrades. Although they are surprised by the appearance of Mikasa that they have given up for dead, but they are surprised even more about the Titan they brought with them.

Then as Mikasa explains things to the others, that this Titan isn't interest in humans at all that it's only desire is killing it's own kind. That the best things is to use it to keep the Titans outside at bay, this will allow them to focus on killing the smaller Titan that are inside headquarters. That there biggest concern is getting resupplied. Then towards that end Armin comes up with a plan, that to execute it they will have to divide there forces into two different groups. The first group will go down to the warehouse on an elevator, there job is to serve as bait for the Titans down there as well as blind them once they all are lured in. The second groups job is to finish them off from behind. The plan is mostly successful except for a few mistakes but no-one dies and they are able to resupply.


Then with all this done they return to the roof of headquarters to see how the rogue Titan is fairing. Although what is surprising is that the Titan is pinned to the side of a building and the other Titans are eating it. Then when Mikasa suggest helping it Jean is outraged at the idea of working together with a Titan, but the other think it is a good idea. That even though they understand nothing about it, that doesn't change the fact that it would be any less useful since in the end it doesn't really matter if in the end they kill the Titan or this rogue one does their job for them. However when Armin see the Titan that killed Thomas, and speaks about out loud. This sends the rogue Titan berserk, which leads to to breaking free of the Titans at the cause of it arms. Then kills this Titan and the others around it, but this action leads it to burn itself out. Although as this rogue Titan is dissolving, at the base of it's neck it reveal Eren to Armin and Mikasa's surprised. What even more surprising once they bring Eren back up to the roof is that the Arm and Leg he lost in his battle have regenerated. This raise a whole bunch of question but the largest one is how did Eren became a Titan.
