![]() It’s a good reminder of some of the things that made us love the series in the first place. This scene was the first of many to come that really showcased what the aftermath of war really is like. They just go blerrgh! and leave behind a mass of… human parts mushed together in one disgusting package. In the aftermath, we learn that titans don’t even digest the countless humans they eat. This is the first time we really learn that victory never comes easy in Attack on Titan. We’re given a body count: 207 dead, or missing. ![]() That moment when Eren slams that massive boulder onto the ground to block the hole in Trost was truly epic, but we aren’t even allowed to celebrate the victory for too long - there are still titans crawling in Trost that need clearing up. Practically every single victory comes at a huge cost, and humanity’s first victory was no exception. There are no idealistic “I’ll never give up!” punchlines here. If there’s one thing Attack on Titan does well (there’s much more than one), it’s making it clear that this is a cruel world. “Humanity had indeed scored its first victory against the titans… but there were too many casualties for anyone to celebrate.”
