Shingeki No Kyojin Season 4 Part 2 Episode 4

Okay, let’s talk about Attack on Titan, specifically Season 4 Part 2 Episode 4. Remember that one? The calm before the storm… or maybe just the slightly less chaotic part of the storm?

I know, I know. Everything is always a *storm* in this show. But hear me out.

A Break from the Madness (Sort Of)

We had a breather! Ish. After all the screaming and titan smashing, we got… conversations. Lots of them.

Unpopular opinion time: I kind of enjoyed it. Don't get me wrong, I love the titan fights. But sometimes you need a break, you know?

My brain needed to process all the betrayals, revelations, and general apocalyptic vibes. This episode gave me a chance to catch up.

Pieck Finger: MVP (Again)

Let's be real, Pieck Finger continues to be a genius. This episode cemented her spot as one of my favorite characters.

Her plan? Impeccable. Her delivery? Smooth as butter. The way she handled Eren? *Chef’s kiss*.

She's always three steps ahead, it's incredible. It's like she's playing 4D chess while everyone else is struggling with checkers.

I'm convinced she could solve world hunger while simultaneously overthrowing a government. All before breakfast.

The Family Reunion… That Wasn't

The whole thing with Reiner and his mom was… awkward. Super awkward.

Imagine trying to explain that you helped destroy someone's entire life. Over tea and biscuits. Good luck!

You could practically feel the tension radiating off the screen. It was uncomfortable, but in a fascinating "I can't look away" kind of way.

Honestly, the whole encounter felt like a therapy session gone horribly wrong. Someone get Reiner a therapist, stat!

Gabi's Growth (Maybe?)

Gabi… oh, Gabi. She's trying, I'll give her that. But she still has a long way to go.

Seeing her interact with the Braus family was interesting. A tiny crack in her unwavering hatred, perhaps?

I’m not entirely convinced she's turning into a peace-loving dove just yet. But hey, baby steps, right?

It's like watching a toddler learn to share. Endearing, but also potentially disastrous.

The Impending Doom

Despite the calmer moments, the episode did a great job of reminding us that things are about to go down. Like, really down.

The tension was building like a rollercoaster climbing that first big hill. You know something awful is coming, you just don’t know when.

That conversation between Eren and Reiner set the stage for an epic showdown. It's a clash of ideologies, a battle of wills, and a guaranteed mess of titan-sized proportions.

Prepare yourselves, folks. Because *Attack on Titan* is never quiet for long.

Overall, Season 4 Part 2 Episode 4 was a solid setup episode. It may not have been filled with non-stop action, but it laid the groundwork for the chaos to come.

And honestly? Sometimes a little bit of conversation and character development is exactly what this titan-obsessed heart needs.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go rewatch Pieck's scenes. Because she’s amazing. Don't @ me.
