Attack On Titan Season 4 Episode 29

Things Got Weird (and Kinda Funny) in Attack on Titan Episode 29

Okay, Attack on Titan. You’ve given us giants, existential dread, and enough battlefield strategy to make Sun Tzu blush. But this week? This week you threw in a healthy dose of “wait, what just happened?”

Let's talk about that hallucination sequence. Seeing dead characters return for one last chat felt like a bizarre family reunion from beyond the grave. Suddenly, we're knee-deep in ghostly therapy sessions, and it's… surprisingly touching?

Eren’s… Inner Child?

We saw a glimpse into the mind of Eren Yeager. We've seen him rage, strategize, and even transform into a terrifying titan, but this? This was different.

Watching him interact with the younger version of himself was like peering into a very disturbed, but understandable, soul. He still has regrets, it seems.

It’s hard not to feel a little sympathy for the guy, even if he is trying to flatten the world. And Mikasa's reaction to it all? Heartbreaking.

Reiner’s Emotional Support Group (of Himself)

Then we have Reiner Braun, who gets an emotional pep talk from… himself. Past versions of Reiner, to be exact.

It was incredibly strange and also oddly relatable. Who hasn't given themselves a stern talking-to in the mirror?

Seeing all those "Reiners" squabbling over whether or not he's worthy of love was peak Attack on Titan absurdity. It was a moment of lightheartedness amidst the grim setting.

Armin's Philosophical Dilemma

Don’t forget Armin Arlert, always the voice of reason, now grappling with the weight of past Colossal Titan memories. He is struggling to understand why he was chosen and what his purpose is.

His conversation with Bertholdt was a fascinating study in contrasting ideologies. Is peace even possible, or are they doomed to repeat the cycles of violence? Deep stuff.

The episode reminded us that even in the face of global annihilation, personal struggles still matter.

The Humor in the Horror

Seriously, though, can we talk about the comedic timing? The show has always balanced its dark themes with moments of levity, but this episode leaned into the bizarre with gusto.

Reiner arguing with his various personalities, Eren's inner child meltdown, it's all strangely hilarious. Like, laugh-to-keep-from-crying hilarious.

It reminded us that even in the apocalypse, people are still people. With all their flaws, insecurities, and internal monologues.

Final Thoughts

Episode 29 wasn't just another battle scene. It was a deep dive into the psyches of our favorite (and least favorite) characters.

It was a bizarre, touching, and surprisingly funny exploration of trauma, regret, and the enduring power of the human spirit. Or, you know, the Titan spirit. Whatever works.

So, buckle up, folks. If this episode is anything to go by, the final stretch of Attack on Titan is going to be one wild, emotional, and utterly unforgettable ride.
