I have a question, i'm just an anime watcher so i'm trying to remain spoiler free. But this Rod Reiss business is VERY confusing, and i think these first 3 episodes of the anime are very weak compared to the previous seasons… It really goes from one scene and one explenatation to the other… While the last seasons had a very low amount of reveals but when they happened they were SUPER impactful… This season is throwing reveal after reveal after reveal as if it's nothing… very weak and dissapointing.

But my question is... Why does Rod Reis allow Kenny/interior squad to threaten him and kill Historia's mother and almost Historia herself? Isn't he the KING? He was there to get them to safety right? But then Kenny says they have to die... What authority does he have, Couldn't Rod just tell him to go away and get them to safety? Does Rodd havy any power as king? I just don't understand why he tries to save them and then let the mother die... Will this get explained later why Rod seems to have no real power over his men? :S
