After reading the latest chapter, it was great to see a broader image of the world and how things have progressed during and after the time skip.

Notably, Reiner looks much older and has some facial hair although Zeke still looks the same. And we finally got to see what was going on in the war between Marley and the Mid East.

It was crazy to see just how much a gap there was between Marley and the Mid East in comparison to Marley and Paradise. The Mid East actually put up a good fight and made it difficult for Reiner especially to use his Titan ability on the field. The fact that the Mid East had cannon tech that could pierce the Armoured Titans armour was quite astonishing, I mean looking at Paradise their cannon tech was utterly useless, but it goes without saying that the Mid East were exposed to more advanced tech then Paradise so it's no surprise. In the end a peace treaty was established but the manga states that Marley won which is confusing but it gave us the notion that Titans weren't the ultimate weapon anymore.

The way that the marleyans dropped mindless Titans on the Mid East stronghold from blimps was pretty cool XD, why didn't they do that to paradise? Paradise would have perished in an instant.

And why do the Marleyans need the founding Titan? It has been proved that there is enough tech in the world to bring a Titan shifter down, so just by merely possessing the power to control A Titans actions, what could that possibly achieve?
