Attack on Titan: Season 4 Episode 15 Sole Salvation

+ For readers/watchers who have already watched the episode (spoilers) (assumptions)

So...how angry are you cause I punched a wall after this episode.

Before I get into my sentiments, how about we go over the episode.

Throughout its four-season run, Attack on Titans' villains have gone from being thoughtless, simple to-execute titans to the same flesh and blood as those that do the slaughtering. Be that as it may, Zeke Jeager has reliably been the foe in the show. Scene 15 reveals insight with respect to how this character was conceived and broadens him compassion. All the while, it shows why he should be halted for he is, obtusely put, an insane beast.

So we realize now without a doubt that the wine was implanted with Zeke's spinal liquid and has been consumed amongst Paradis' military. It likewise is certain that Zeke, Yelena and the Jeagerists are arranging something horrendous. In any case, that is not even the worst of the exceedingly terrible acts of what the Beast Titan has available. As Zeke looks straight at death - as a Thunder Spear set to pass up Levi Ackerman - "Sole Salvation" sets aside some effort to flashback to Zeke's grieved adolescence in Marley. There, we're given a lot more prominent understanding into why he sold his folks, Grisha and Dina Jeager out as Eldian Restorationists to the Marleyan military police (a capital punishment Grisha would get away). Caught between his Marleyan supporter grandparents and his progressive guardians, the clashing precepts, and strain to turn into a Warrior competitor, driven Zeke to discover direction outside of his own blood in Tom Ksaver, the then-holder of the Beast Titan.

Tom was the person who taught Zeke to hand his folks over to save himself, after which he turned into a substitute dad to the young fellow. In any case, a Titan Shifter power - and an adoration for baseball - weren't the lone things Tom passed down to Zeke. As a Titan researcher, he uncovered high level mysteries about the animals to his one-day inheritor, most critically, how the Founding Titan's deterrent can be survived, and how somebody who controls the Founder can utilize its one of a kind ability to modify the hereditary qualities of each Subject of Ymir by means of the Path. To back up his case, he refered to an illness that attacked the Eldian people group many years prior, just to be out of nowhere destroyed by their Fritz ruler (possessing the Founding Titan).

From this key disclosure, and with hatred towards Grisha and his own Eldian blood clear, Zeke recommended that this capacity may be utilized to keep Eldians from duplicating - something he alluded to (incorrectly, we may add) as "euthanization." Tom was stunned, yet lamentably, not for the reasons watchers would trust. Having lost his significant other to self destruction, and his youngster to her own hands, Tom turned out to be so disappointed with Eldian presence that he agreed with Zeke's thought. What's more, this objective is the thing that Zeke has been seeking after this whole time - even prior to acquiring the Beast Titan. Almost certainly, he has no expectation of proceeding with the Rumbling test. All things considered, he only needs contact with Eren so both of them can sidestep the limitations on the Founding Titan and institute the euthanization plot.

More awful still, another flashback to when Eren and Zeke furtively met in Liberio, before the attack, reveals the degree of Eren's own arrangement. Zeke's sibling apparently agrees that the best way to really "free" their race... is by finishing it.

I think we can all see where this is going and I must say, I am excited as well as terrified. All I'm hoping for at this point is that our trio and beloved characters from Season 1 all survive. The chances of that? Zero but fingers crossed.

Wait till next time for Episode 16: Above and Below next week.
