I was looking forward to more torture in the next chapter.....but at least things are sure to be getting more interesting. It's definitely something I wasn't expecting. Historia, not only a goddess, but......a queen. Queen Historia. She'd make a cute queen. :3 <3

To us, 2,000 years from now....I wonder if we'll learn anything more about the Reiss bloodline. Who is the progenitor? What is so special about the Reiss family aside from being royalty? Is it possible that the Reiss family has something to do with all the titans that roam around the world? I'm expecting something supernatural and metaphysical regarding the Reiss family and the titans, but I should drop all that stuff; we all know the titans aren't Nephilim or fallen angels or anything of biblical proportions.

Hanji made a good point, too; it sounds like the reason for humanity to live in a medieval-ish circumstance is because the government has something against technology....and it's possible that humanity has stepped backwards in technological advancement for over 2,000 years. Back then we had Armalite rifles and carbines and other good stuff, but in the AoT timeline we're using flintlocks and swords. Maybe the existence of the Three-Dimensional Mobility Gear is "pushing the envelope" in some ways regarding technological advancement. If it looked any fancier or had more effective performance capabilities, as well as utilizing methods beyond the gas-tanks and ropes.....it would be forbidden. Could it be that whatever happened 2,000 years prior is the government's justification for banning technological progress? Such technology was what created the titans, perhaps?

I'll stop now. I'm stepping outside for a smoke-break anyway. Point being.....good chapter.
