Reviews with content warning for Violence - Attack on Titan, Volume 3

Through some unknown mechanism, Eren has somehow become a titan, or, at least, has the ability to change into one. Now he has a new problem: His fellow soldiers want to kill him. It's up to Armin to convince them that Eren is still loyal to humanity and that his new abilities can help in the war against the titans.

But a hastily-thrown-together plan to seal a breach in the wall and take back one of the attached walled "towns" runs into immediate problems when Eren's untested powers prove uncontrollable.

This third chapter raises a lot more questions than it answers, and plunges the story into a new cliffhanger. Armin gets the best moments here, and this was a nice spotlight for him. It also introduces a couple of intriguing new characters from the military hierarchy, including the unorthodox Commander Pixis.

The pacing continues to be great, and the complexity of the worldbuilding continues to be built up steadily.

The foreshadowing in this?? "If you wanna save Mikasa and Armin and everyone else...", "Their memories will teach you how to use it", and the Warriors silently watching all this go down 👀

Armin's speech will forever be one of my favourite scenes.

Personal Ratings : 4.5🌟

One thing's for sure, Armin SHONE in this volume. I freaking love him.

Also, please Isayama draws so nicely and I LOVE the panels in here they're just so freaking beautiful.

The way Eren's anguish, the fate of the soldiers and the sacrifices that everyone has to make. Its something that is not only enthralling, but it definitely leaves such an impact. I've watched the anime for this volume and it had definitely elevated my experience as I'm alternating reading the manga and watching the anime (I swear the emotional damage ugh).
