Okay but can we all give a huge round of applause for Sashas parents for not succumbing to revenge and taking their anger out on Gabi. Here we have them face to face with the person who killed their daughter and have every right to feel bitterness and hatred towards her.

And what do they do?

They take responsibility for how screwed up their world is by admitting that the faults and tragedies that continue to repeat themselves time and time again, is because Adults have continuously sent children to hell without taking any responsibility for themselves. Something we’ve seen plenty of with characters like, Annie, Eren, Reiner, so much tragedy and pain experienced by children when they shouldn’t have to go through that in the first place.

Here, in a world where we see plenty of hatred, violence and rage. They choose kindness. They choose mercy. A shining example that there is still good in humanity, even when things get bad.

I liked several things in the latest chapter.

Here I am going to mention only two.

1) This is how Gabi sees Sasha:

This is how Nikolo sees her:

Both have a very black and white vision. This is why Mr Braus’s prospective is so important:

Because it acknowledges both points of view. Sasha was a person who managed to overcome her fear in order to help people. She was also a soldier who took part in an operation which involved attacking civilians. It is meaningful that her father acknowledges this. Sasha was no devil nor angel, but a person who ended up caught up in a cycle of violence.

It is this specific prospective the characters must all come to accept and I liked how it was exemplified through three different points of view on the same character.

Great meta!

Anyway, enjoy!! And especially enjoy the fact that this horse is NOT a wrinkly sack like in the anime.

Omg imagine if Sasha’s sister takes Gabi and Falco to her house, they see a picture or something of Sasha and the girl says “she saved me when I was a kid but was killed by enemies in Marley.” 😢

HOW ABOUT NO

Tho considering Isayama’s sadistic tendencies it’s likely to happen

SNK Readthrough: Volume 15 Part 4

momtaku:

When this panel came out, there was quite an uproar over a certain topless survey corps officer and his unique physique. I remember reading comments about how lucky Sasha was.

The reality is that just hours before, Sasha was ready to abandon Levi and the Survey Corp. She was furious over his treatment Historia. She accused Levi of trying to put Historia on the throne so he could control her.

She then saw him in a violent battle with the MPs. She watched as he sliced a soldier in half.

It’s a pretty safe bet that Sasha does not consider herself lucky at all.

Regardless of Sasha’s feelings towards him, Levi selected her for the task. And no wonder! Sasha grew up in a remote village hunting for food. As a child she would’ve learned to field dress her kills, skinning them and removing the organs before transporting them home.

From a practical sense, I suppose putting skin back together isn’t so different from taking it apart. With her background, she certainly wouldn’t be squeamish about it. And her skill with a bow shows her steady and precise hand.

My thought above are heavily influenced by an incredible fanfiction I read by islandofreil surrounding this single panel. The link is here.
