Attack on Titan / Shingeki No Kyojin: What's for Lunch?

[Phexar]

Spoiler: Chapter 135

Show

We first see a flashback to Ymir letting the pigs out of the pen. It seems she was the one who let them out after all and not just a scapegoat. But we don't know why. We then see her looking on as the Beast Titan turns into a pile of bones, confirming that the real Zeke is elsewhere. Armin prepares to blow himself up by transforming into the Colossal Titan as he tells the others to get clear, but suddenly a giant mouth appears behindh im and he finds himself bound and swallowed up by a titan's long tongue which pushes itself into his mouth, preventing his transformation. Suddenly a mass of titans start spawning from Eren's spine.

The Eldian survivors find Onyankopon in the wreckage of the plane, unconscious but still breathing. The lead Marleyan officer orders his troops to fire with the three cannons they have left as that's all they can do, and to be brave like the warriors of Paradis who are giving their lives to fight Eren there.

Reiner gets swarmed by titans which the others blow apart with thunder spears. Pieck realizes that all of the spawned titans are all replicas of the past Nine Titan Shifters, seeing ones like a rocky Armored Titan and a crocodile-like Jaw or Beast Titan, saying that Eren can probably spawn them indefinitely. She launches herself through the titan horde and wraps the explosives around Eren's neck, getting out of her Cart Titan and prepares to sacrifice herself by detonating the explosives to kill Eren. However the Cart Titan is suddenly impaled with a trident by Miss Tybur's Warhammer Titan, as the detonator tumbles out of Pieck's reach.

Reiner is then attacked by Porco's Jaw Titan followed by Marcel's Jaw Titan appearing as everyone tries to flee. We then cut to Armin who realizes that it's Ymir rather than Eren spawning the titan replicas, and that Ymir must also wish for humanity's annihilation as she is not opposing Eren in any way. He despairs that Ymir is invincible, and sees a vision of Bertolt, eyes closed with a tear running down his cheek. Suddenly to everyone's horror Bertolt's Colossal Titan manifests overhead, snatching up Reiner's titan. Reiner ejects himself as the Colossal replica bites his titan's head off before throwing the body down, sending everyone flying.

The alliance is now hanging from the underside of Eren's spines with Connie unconscious, as the titan replicas continue to attack with Mikasa fending them off. Reiner is dangling by Jean's hand and tells Jean to let him go because he can shift into the Armored Titan. Jean refuses and says that he'll end up trampled if he does that, and that while they don't have a chance of winning anymore they'll fight to the bitter end. Connie nearly gets eaten as he awakes, but gets narrowly saved by Levi. As more titans spawn in around them, Mikasa starts to make a last stand and give a speech about her strength, but suddenly gets interrupted by a mysterious voice saying she's acting a little crazy, as a winged titan appears behind them catching them all.

It's Falco's Jaw Titan, this time with a full fledged set of wings, looking even more birdlike than before. Annie is revealed to be the mysterious voice, riding on top alongside Gabi, saying she's glad that she came.


Current status of the alliance: No new deaths this chapter.
-Mikasa, Reiner, Jean, Connie and Levi are on Falco's flying Jaw Titan, along with Annie and Gabi.
-Armin has been captured and bound inside the mouth of a long-tongued titan.
-Pieck's status is unknown but she was last seen stuck on her impaled Cart Titan with the detonator to the explosives out of reach.

Some also noted that Annie doesn't seem to have her bladed ring (unless it's an art error or minor detail left out) - that perhaps Armin has it and he'll be able to use it to transform in his bound state.

It's not known if Eren is really in charge or Ymir. Or if they're working together. Or if Eren is focusing on leading the Rumbling while Ymir is protecting him.

Also the final season of the anime has just started airing as well. Supposedly it's only going to be about 16 episodes so I'm guessing that we're going to have another split cour or a movie to finish off the show since 16 eps won't be enough to cover everything.
