At the end, I was like "Well shit. o_o "  The whole thing was rather tense; this is something I haven't forgotten about for over three years. I think I spent almost 20 minutes digesting that whole basement scene. I remember the first time I thought it was going to be some old basement with documentation and laboratory equipment, but then I heard others' opinions that it was going to hold some gigantic titan. As years went on I was expecting it to be something that would change the image of the series by whatever means....but, also, and necessary to mention here, I didn't expect that we'd come to the basement today. I thought it was going to be at the end. In fact, I thought the series was going to end right when Eren opens the door to the basement, resulting in a cliffhanger.

The end obviously brings about more questions. I suspected that there was human life outside the Walls, but I thought it was just very small populations scattered all about, with villages consisting of less than a few houses and what-not. But, in fact, there is a refined existence out there. And by "refined existence", I'm thinking first-world shit. Maybe even a metropolis here and there. I mean, there's a refined culture living in Wall Sina, but out there in the world there are lots more, probably even more refined and sophisticated than the 1% living in the Walls.

So then, what's going on out there in the world? Is the location of the Walls only a specific area in the world where there are titans? Or are there titans running amok but are able to be more easily subsumed and/or subjugated by the other civilizations? Whatever all is happening, it'd be interesting to see if the manga covers any of it.

But anyway....this was another good chapter. Oh, and Armin, leader of the human race. xD
