You can't help but think "Yep, I could definitely give my life for this man" when you hear Erwin's speech. It's just inspiring.
Till you get a Rock to the face
We ride through brickwalls for Erwin.
@@Marqui91 Well you're getting a rock in the face anyway so at least do it with a great leader like erwin
The situation helps too. There is no escaping so you might as well die a hero.
Same here. I'll be doing a lot of thinking based on Erwin's speech... Very inspirational
Erwin's speech still gives me goosebumps.
It gives me tears!
Goosebumps + Tears
When I hear his speech I feel I'm ready to sacrifice my life for a country that doesn't even exist.
eren speech is prob the only thing which is actually better in the english dub then in the japanese dub
Still after 10 times rewatching...
First epsode of the Holy Trinity.
truee😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Bruhh
First eye has been opened 😅
Nah. Season 4: Two Brothers, Memories of the Future and From you, 2000 years... are actually the holy trinity. Absolute peak fiction.
"Give up on your dreams an die" always hits so hard.
That line: "we die trusting the living who follow to find meaning in our lives!" always give me chills. Great reaction as always.
Also a big theme in One Piece too. Inherited Will.
what a line
The Conny scene is just a pun that only works in Japanese. Basically Eren's House in Japanese sounds like Eren Jaeger.
The translators did make a pretty good attempt to keep a pun in there. An "eave" is part of the roof of a house, and houses were falling from the sky, so "eavesdropping" kinda works.
@@CatBrainsForSome I agree. It's VERY good attempt at keeping the joke in spirit. But man, the joke in Japanese is hilarious
Didn't knew that... wish I knew how to speak Japanese.

貴方の説明は完璧です。
Erwin thinks of himself as a con man, because he claimed he was sacrificing all the soldiers and civilians for humanity, but he was really doing it for his dream of finding out the truth. When he had to choose between his dream and humanity though, he chose humanity.
Uma das verdades centrais desse anime é "humanidade". Alguns acham que o anime foca apenas nos personagens principais.
Yeah and I think this is what Floch was referring to when he said in 3x22 that "You better tell the truth so that cowards like me won't join" or something to 104th.
He actually chose his dream over humanity. This is why it was LEVI, not Erwin, who made that decision. He didn't have the strength in him to sacrifice his dreams. We see this play side-by-side with (SPOILERS) what happened with Armin in the very next episode. The strategies are the same: Both involve sacrificing yourself to catch the opponent off-guard while someone else finishes him, but Armin was actually capable of making that decision himself, to the point of lying to Eren in the process. He was able to sacrifice his dreams and himself for the sake of humanity, touching the theme established in season 1 of those who can't sacrifice anything not being able to do anything. And as if to symbolically show the difference in their resolve: Armin's plans pay off, they do catch Bert, while Erwin's fail as Zeke is taken away by Pieck. This is ultimately the reason why Armin was chosen over Erwin, even if Isayama later decided to kill his character so he would fit the avengers ending.
@caiobruno8006 This might actually be the dumbest comment I’ve seen in days LMFAO wth is even this😭 first of all, Erwin did NOT choose his dream over humanity lmao that’s why he was actually ready to sacrifice himself thrice, learn the difference between what u want and what u have to do. Isayama himself actually stated in an interview how Erwin was stuck between a childish dream and his responsibility as a commander BUT he’d still give up on his dream for humanity when it’ll be needed. He just needed a push up bc ofc u ain’t gonna give up on the dream u fought ur whole life for, sacrificed sm for, and did everything for just like that lol comparing Armin to Erwin’s passion about his dream is crazy. 2nd of all, Erwin’s plan didn’t fail in any way lol the plan was to take down the beast and it succeeded, if anything it was Levi who failed his role which is understandable as he thought about the possibility of using Zeke to save someone, this ofc without talking plot wise how there was no way they’d kill Zeke there no matter what plan they use against him. And finally, saying that was the reason they chose Armin over Erwin had me laughing my ahh off like actually rolling the floor 😭 I figured out already u watched the show with your eyes closed but that was a nice confirmation LMFAO
@@pojoh2585 I think most people let their love for Erwin, which was my favorite character in the show, blind them from the point of the character. These people completely ignored all his dialogue with Darius Zackley for instance, where he openly admits he values his life and dreams more than humanity. We LITERALLY see him smiling at the end of season 2 when he discovers the horrifying truth that titans are humans. The whole meaning of his sacrifice is that he was unable to make that choice, so he entrusted it to Levi, just like all of people in that charge entrusted the meaning of their lives to the ones who come after them. He couldn't bear the guilt of his actions and finally decided to die a death like all the people he sent to die did. If he valued humanity more than his dreams, he would end up like most other leaders in the show, unable to make the sacrifices to move forward. This contrast between Armin and Erwin is later paralleled in the contrast between him and Eren. I don't get why some people get defensive over this, it makes him a more compelling character imo
The speech that made me feel patriotic for a fictional nation. Wild
One of the most overlooked feats in the entire show is Erwin coming up with that speech on the spot to convince the recruits to die. And he continued his speech going off what Floch was honestly asking him. When u really think abt that u realize that not anybody can just do that. Erwin 🐐
"He actually looked scared but so determined" Demn! I've watched this scene gazillion times with other reactors and with my own and this is the 1st time I noticed it! I paused at Erwin's face during the charge scene and he actually looked scared! these ladies!
Same! Watched this scene multiple times and I never realized that his face was because he was scared
"Armin is freezing" haha yeah... About that...
They’re way past this point so you can say he wasn’t freezing anymore😅😅

the episode is so good she started talking in nihongo lol...cant wait for them to scream sasageyo!!!!!!!!
The way the speech hits every single time I hear it it’s mind blowing
Connie says "Eren no ie ga..." (Eren's house is...) which sounds like "Eren Yeager", it can't really be translated
In the dub Connie says "hey Eren, how does it feel to have your roof over your head again?" Which is funny 😂
@@guatomala1851 Ngl I've always had mega respect for people in charge of dubbing stuff to other languages. As a Swede, I've always grown up with stuff subtitled, not dubbed unless kids movies, but those kids movies! Hoo-boy do the Disney songs absolutely slap when dubbed lol. I could never imagine they'd make the songs sound like the original without having complete gibberish for lyrics lmao. Learning that the english dub doesn't try to translate the joke (since you really can't) and instead re-word it into a completely *new* joke reminded me of that :D
After watching AOT over several times this is still one of my favorite arcs
Mine too
definitely
And this is why Erwin will always be the #1 leader in fiction. I have never seen or read any leader that inspired me as an outside observer to put my life down for them like this man did. Every step that he has taken is done with no regrets. From catching the female titan to ordering his soldiers to advance while being carried off in the mouth of a titan, to this event. Erwin will always be "The MAN!"
Did anyone else notice how crazy that line was? "I'm going for a perfect game." Implies that baseball exists. That shit was wild when I first seen it.
I didn't even catch it lmfao

"My soldier, rage!" is the best war cry in the whole anime.
I don't know if I've ever heard someone point out the contrast of Erwin saying it would take a "conman" and a "slew of lies" to convince the Scouts, but then does it by being as utterly, brutally honest as a person could ever have to be in their entire life. Great observation. You two are doing an outstanding job with this make or break show. I've been loving these reactions.
I've been waiting for a reaction to this episode for so long!!!
Bro, SAME. The show is already excellent by this point, but erwin's speech is just next level. Definitely one of the best episodes.
@@BewareTheNoid NOT EVEN CLOSE
@@BewareTheNoid Irwin's speech is mind-blowing, it sinks into my soul, his intonation touches a living thing inside me. This dedication, doom, acceptance and honesty were at an unattainable level. This and the next episode are flawless.
So glad they're watching sub for this.
@@anthonygranado60 I actually think this is one of the parts where the dubbed is better. J. Michael Tatum's Erwin shouting out "MY SOLDIERS RAGE!" just hits harder imo.
Erwin is probably the most stoic character ever and this is the first time he showed some kind of vulnerability in his character.. that makes him my favorite
Haylo: I don't wanna watch any of this. Haylo: (Continue watching) Typical AoT viewer 😭
This, last, and the upcoming episodes are hell of emotional rollercoaster. They went back and forth from hopefulness to helplessness in short of time
I love this episode, because not only the end is one of the most epic and inspiring scenes I have seen in anything, but it is a great end to Erwin's arc. Throughout the third season we learned that even though he obviously cared for his men and the future of humanity, he had an ulterior motive from the beginning, and because of that he felt like a conman, like a liar, because he was convincing people to fight and give their lives in order to pursue that dream. That scene where he is standing on a mountain of the bodies of his soldiers describes perfectly how he felt about it. But at the end, when he had to choose between achieving his dream (giving up the fight, looking for the basement on his own and learning the truth himself), or honoring all the sacrifices of his men by continuing the fight til the end for the sake of humanity, he chose to sacrifice the thing he cared most about, the thing that had always motivated him to keep living and fighting. He also told the truth to his men about what was about to happen, that they were going to die, and that the world is cruel and death does make many things that are important to us meaningless, he acknowledged to the recruits that given they were all going to die, they all had a choice, they could choose to give up, but that ultimately he chose to give meaning to the sacrifice of the people who fought and died before him. He, like all the new recruits, was afraid, but he chose to believe that his own sacrifice will be meaningful as well. (also worth mentioning that the voice acting is unreal in that scene, when they are riding to their deaths and he is saying that sacrifice is the only way to rebel against this cruel world and his voice cracks)
Literally one of the absolute best Anime scenes ever made was that Erwin scene.
didnt realize that we would get 16,17 and 18 in the same week what a nice lineup
Im a simple guy. i go to work. i go home. and i watch Haylo and Kiss aot Reactions. what a great day.
Just in case you two are not familiar with the term, a "Perfect Game" is a baseball term for winning a game without allowing a single baserunner to reach first base.
"Can you see them, our comrades?"
I just... I don't know how many times I've seen this I always start sweating after Erwin's speech
"many" or "not enough" is probably the answer - at least for me, and I'll keep coming back to this time and time again for sure
Time for Japanese lesson 0:50 "Eren no yieh gahhh!" means "Eren's house!" and sounds like Eren's name " Eren Yeager". Aot author Isayama often does this kind of joke even during the serious situation. When Erwin and Levi talked about the basement, Erwin called himself "Ore" means "I". He usually uses a word "Watashi" which also means "I" but formal. "Ore" is pretty casual and used when people talk with their close friends or family.
They used CGI for the Colossal Titan's animation, that's why it looks different from everything else in the show. I usually don't like the way CGI looks in animes, but for a massive titan like that i think it suits perfectly, it just increases even more the abnormality of it all.
Another fun little semi-spoilery detail about the beast titan is: That as far as we know at this point, baseball isn't a thing inside the walls
I'm pretty surprised that went over their heads with all the more subtle foreshadowing they have picked up.
Im a movie/series freak for all of my life and this speech is certainly among the best. The phrasing, voice acting, music, its just flawless.
Erwin couldn't decide whether he should sacrifice himself to defeat the beast titan or be a little selfish, and live to see the basement.. Levi made the choice for him by the "Give up your dreams and die" while promising to take down the beast titan So Erwin is thankful at Levi for making that difficult choice for him The sad part is.Levi adores Erwin..He admires him..It must have been tough for him too
What Floch was talking about reminds me of a story about "White Rose" during World War II. There is this scene in which the girl involved in the activity was sent to a small room and executed there without being known until after the war. She was brave but she must be filled with fear. Clearly very few people were "lucky" enough to die a heroic death, and the people in power definitely don't want to give those heroes(heroines) any chance to do that.
This is note what the “White rose” was. It was a news outlet in pre-nazi Germany that covered the psychological changes of the German people and resisted the nazis until persecution. So in a way it perfectly describes that, as any death in battle is honorable.
Floch Forester is an analogy for the "Children of the Forest" aka those who are trapped in a fight or flight survival mentality. SPOILERS: It's why Floch & Gabi are so violent later. Both Children of the Forest.
Ok , erwin is a legend , but lets talk about the other soldiers that charged into their death head on , those guys were scared asf yet they kept charging forwards, now that is the spirit of the attack titan Tsuzume tsuzikeru
All those soldiers had to shine... before lights out
One of the most epic speech in anime history Because my soldiers do not buckle or yield when faced with the cruelty of this world! My soldiers PUSH FORWARD! My soldiers SCREAM OUT! My soldiers RAAAAAGE!
That' the English dub version, also my preferred version.
It was not the best speach from Erwin.

3 best eps of this season , let's go

One of the best Trinity of aot begins now🔥
every single time , this gets my tears running
Erwin’s speech was soo heartfelt and motivating even the horsing charging to there deaths.
His speech at the end of the episode is the moment i got an enormous crush on Erwin - and I am a straight man...
Erwin's speech is still one of my favorite scenes in this entire show
9:39 the moment we see erwin the titan of steel balls😢😢
The start of a great week of attack on titan reactions
Dude, no matter how much i watch Erwin's speech, it never fails to make me cry or being an edge to my seat
one of the monumental speech in anime history, Shinzooooooo sasageyooooo!!!!!!!!! into deathhhhhhh!!!!!
This week we eating good 🗣
I love this episode a lot, not just because of Erwin, but also the little detail about the "perfect game" like, why does the beast titan know how to play baseball?
This episode is just ...... the things I always feel on this
This bunch of episodes just gets everybody out of tears. Tissues, tissues, tissues...
This was a representation of the Kamikaze attacks carried out by the Japanese in World War II.
I love how this episode shows us that you must make every moment count. The future is a fantasy that we may never get to.
When I feel lost my way, this episode teaches me the meaning of life.
I love how every reaction series never really understands the implication of the Beast Titan using the words "Perfect Game" while pitching rocks, but so many acknowledge it like they just did saying it's just a game to him. Such a small detail that goes over the heads of pretty much everyone until it's finally revealed in Season 4 why. Gotta love that type of stuff in this series.
I think this was the most shocked I’ve ever seen you two. And I don’t blame you🤧
And it’s just getting started
Actually Haylo, bravery is doing something without fear and courage is about overcoming your fear.
I have never wanted the wait between episodes so little lol. I need that next episode ASAP ://///// I began tearing up with you all at the end
the greatest arc in AOT has just started
Nope it started mid season 2 and continued till the starting of season 4 and they gone downhill..season 3 was the GOAT.. Erwin..armin..Kenny and levi all got their best writings there.
Waited so long for this ep finally
Rip to my favorite leader in fiction man what a episode what a scene forever goated
9:57 Nani?! I'm very happy to hear your Japanese for the first time! Thank you! From one Japanese person.
The beginning of the 5 best episodes ever made in history ! Nobody was ready 🤯🤩
Waiting a week for each of these, and then waiting even longer at the mid season finale, was just so excruciating. Its so refreshing to see you guys have stayed away from spoils, hopefully, and just know at this point its only getting started 0.0' Love your guys' reactions
I can say I believe I´m not crying... maybe... omg what an incredible speech...
Erin's speech is so amazing....... chills ....... I love this show
My heart breaks with the death of all the fallen 💔💔💔 This is one of the most heartbreaking chapters 😭😭😭
0:54 for anyone confused at connie's joke, this is a japanese pun that literally cannot be translated to english the same way: connie here is referring to eren's house which is called 'ie' in japanese, followed by the object marker particle 'ga'. particles are used in japanese as a way to indicate where the subject, object, direction, time, verb, location, or posession is. it would make sense if you knew japanese. the japanese language follows a subject object verb sentence pattern (unlike english which is subject verb object) so to break down connies sentence, it reads as follows: eren no ie ga ochiteiru, where 'eren' is the subject; 'no' is the particle indicating posession; 'ie' is the object house; 'ga' is the object marking particle; 'ochiteiru' is the present continuous form of the verb 'to fall'. notice how connie doesn't actually say 'ochiteiru' in his line. this is because japanese people sometimes tend to omit verbs that don't need to be said because it's very obvious. if i said 'watashi wa keeki wo', that literally means 'i ___ cake', where i've omitted the verb. because, well, i aint gonna drink the cake or anything, its obvious im gonna eat it, so i ommited the verb 'taberu'. the full sentence would be 'watashi wa keeki wo taberu'. likewise, connie here ommited the verb to fall 'ochiteiru'. however, here's the actual joke bit: when he ommited the verb, he was left with 'eren no ie ga', and if you say this sentence back to yourself in japanese, the 'ie ga' (meaning house) sounds very similar to eren's last name jaeger. this is why connie was laughing when he yelled EREN NO IE GAAAA as if he's saying EREN JAEGERRRR and so yeh thats bassically it i found it pretty funny thanks guys hope you enjoyed this commentary make sure you like subscribe and comment down below youre welcome guys ill see you in the next one see ya *cue outro*
Floche is such an interesting character they introduced to the series 😅
These episodes and this battle is still in my top 3 favorite moments of AoT.
one of the Greatest speech In anime history..
Oh here we go, my third personal favorite AoT episode ever.
Getting home after work, have some food and watch your reactions, simply... amazing plan! :D
Here it is! THAT episode with THAT speech!
True is that since ep 1 we've been waiting for this episode and the next
This and the next few episodes gotta be the best ever in anime. I'm so jealous they get to watch the next one right away. Waiting a week for the next episode was torture back then lol
That first throw... with the sound effects and music. Chilling.
Best speech in anime history. 🙏
Light a oublié qu'il a déjà utilisé son carnet mais ça va lui revenir ;)
erwin's point about needing a con-man meant that in order to make the recruits do the charge on their own (without erwin), it would require many lies and being a con man. But because he isnt a con-man, he had to participate in the charge himself and lead it because only then will the recruits follow him.
12:17 "Why is the Beast Titan pitching?" Man, you were picking up on it so early, but not noticing the nuance of the question! Hahaha. Baseball doesn't exist within the walls as far as we know, and there don't seem to be enough titan shifters for large team sports like baseball to be played, so it was a good question. Loved the reactions, as usual.
I just love the Reiner reveal. Everyone thinks we're in deep shit, but then it gets even worse, again. Brilliant.
we love you guys thx for posting! 😊
The irony is that Erwin considered his speech as a whole slew of lies though it is inspiring. I think that the speech was phenomenal but I can't imagine how Erwin felt when giving speech.
Greatest episode in the history of TV.
peak fiction is when the story drove into "just how they gonna get out of this?" situation
Levi ordered Erwin to give up on his dream and die for them, because Erwin didn't want to make that decision, he just saw that basement, he didn't want to give up on the sole thing that kept him going no matter how many times he thought dying would be easier, in that final moment, he didn't want to die afterall, he wanted to reach that basement, that truth his father talk about. Levi making the decision for him... the sad look on Erwin's face that turned into reliefed yet sad smile that he won't get to see it afterall is easly not only one of the most iconic scenes in the series, but easly one of the best in anime history!
literally been waiting patiently for this since you guys started watching
Well damn, ive watched this scene over and over again but never thought about Erwin’s face being scared or he was being scared but when i paused he is actually scared but really determined. Good observation.
4:54 I love how they forgot that Eren’s titan is 15 meters while Bertholdt’s one is 60 meters, meaning Eren should be a quarter of the colossal titan’s size, yet that’s totally not the case here 😂
PEAK moments!!!! I love it! The reactions are always priceless!
