    This is one of the main reasons I love attack on titan. They leave subtle clues and details that you think are trivial, then they get strung together and whilst you’re in shock, some amazing animation is happening on screen

    Hints about Reiner and Bertholdt being titans: Reiner pretty much looks like the armored titan. Bertholdt is the tallest in their class, which is a coincidence but still. Bertholdt is also silent and doesn’t interact much. Which is what you’d expect from someone who wants their identity hidden.
    Episode 3: When Eren mentions the armored titan, the screen shifts to Reiner. Bertholdt is surprised that Eren and Armin still want to fight the titans, when they were there of the attack. He says that after their training, he intends to resign from the military. Yet he ends up joining the survey corps. Reiner says that he wants to go to their homeland. But since that would’ve been destroyed, there’d be nothing to go home to. So that doesn’t make much sense either.
    Episode 4: Reiner, Bertholdt and Annie. Makes it in the top 5.
    Episode 7: Annie asks Reiner "What now". To which he replies "It’s not time yet".
    Episode 8: Reiner asks Connie "How much do you know about that titan", referring to Eren’s titan. When they’re about to execute Armin’s plan. Reiner thinks to himself "We shouldn’t fight at a disadvantage". Implying that he had other options. He also tells Annie that she was too reckless, when she risks her life to save Connie. Mikasa says they should keep the titan alive as it might be a key. Reiner quickly says "I agree, if they kill it we wouldn’t have learned anything. We should kill the titans surrounding it. Annie says "What if it could become an ally?"
    Episode 10: The "side cast" hears a cannon shot in Eren’s direction. Reiner is the one who reacts most worried. He then flies over there, with Annie and Bertholdt following him.
    Episode 7-11: Annie, Reiner and Bertholdt always stayed close. Quick shots of them before and after, being together as well.
    Episode 13: Annie apologizes to Marco’s corpse. Reiner says "Apologizing wont help".
    Episode 17: Armin suggests they should wear their hoods on. Becouse he figured that the female titan wouldn’t attack, unless she knew who they were. Yet Reiner removes it when he goes close to her. He also asks where Eren is and survives Annie’s grasp. As was explained in this episode.
    Episode 20: They hear the cannons, shot at the female titan. Reiner thinks to himself "I don’t recall carrying any cannons". Which by itself doesn’t mean anything. But considering who he is, this would’ve been vital information for them to know about.
    Season 2 episode 3: Reiner stops Connie from thinking about his mother and fitting the pieces together. Reiner is also pretty disturbed as well, which we’ll figure out later in the show. When they’re at the tower, they see the beast titan. Reiner and Bertholdt reacts more nervous than the rest of them. Like they already know about it.
    Season 2 episode 4: Reiner is surprised Ymir knows a different language. Meaning she’s from a different place. His reaction also shows he knows about it. After Reiner saves Connie. Connie asks Bertholdt "Has Reiner always been like this?". Bertholdt says "No, in the past. Reiner was more of a warrior". If you recall, when Annie was revealed to be the female titan. She says "I’ve failed to become a warrior".
    Season 2 episode 5: When the tower falls. Bertholdt is about to bite his hand.

    The biggest hint to if Bertholdt was the colossal titan was that he was significantly the tallest person in the group.

    are you reacting to this episode? right here? right now?

  40. Norbert Sattler

    Rainer developed something akin to a split personality, between his "warrior" (enemy of mankind) and "soldier" persona (person from within the walls).
    I can see two possibilities for this.
    1) He so fully committed to the disguise that it started to slowly become real to him and while he was slowly losing his real identity.
    2) He’s responsible for roughly 2.5 million of people losing their lives in a gruesome fashion. And then he spent years living with people just like those victims and learned first hand that they were just normal, innocent people, living their regular little lives. That’s got to weight on his conscious and maybe cause him psychological issues.

    As for Eren: He did try to carefully glean some information. He even outright asked "Where would you even take me?", but Rainer wouldn’t give anything away. So Eren did the next best thing, trying to play it off as a joke or a mental breakdown or something, so instead of the situation escalating they could keep the two under covert surveilance and maybe manouver them into a trap… but that too failed.
    I think Eren made the right choices in this situation.

    But those few episodes were quite the ride, eh?
    First there are Titans within the walls, then we learn that Christa is actually called Historia and is apparently someone of great importance, then Ymir is revealed as a Titan Shifter and now this. All within 6 episodes. ^^

    I think it might have been mentioned in season 1 about what Annie might have been doing during the attack at the beginning of the show. She can lure titans with her scream if you remember what happened in the forest, so she was gathering them up and sending them towards the wall while Reiner and Bertholdt directly attacked

    AJ Rich, if you watch carefully the last episode 2×5, you can see Berthold panicking when the tower is about to collapse, there he almost bite his hand in order not to get eaten. Some hints were very obvious, but this episode was still a major surprise to most of us.

    Great discussion you nailed it. But eren doesn’t want to believe that reiner was the armored its just the same as Annie that’s why he felt betrayed from his perspective…

  50. Silverpunch
    November 5, 2019 @ 4:57 pm

    Eren himself really want to think that reiner is not the betrayer, thats why he act like that/answer like that and want ARMIN AND the other WRONG! hence the tears there and then the rage after he SEE FOR HIM SELF that reiner and bertolt is THE BETRAYER(?)
    nevermind the (?) :))

    this show is so good.
