This deleted scene has always been so funny to me, because we know that Mikasa has a tendency to just pick Eren up and throw him when he’s being a pain, and Armin just follows them without batting an eye and doesn’t get involved.
The funny part to me is the reason why Armin just stands there and doesn’t intervene. Canonically he tried it once and Mikasa just picked him up too like it was nothing T_T
Now he doesn’t bother anymore because he knows his ass is going to get thrown too if he does, so he just keeps quiet lmao
Odysseus: How many suitors are there? Servant: 128. Though, twenty of them formed a guard, after Antinous turned out to be a dick. Odysseus: *Thinking* Servant: Ten are away with the prince, the other ten are keeping guard over Penelope. Odysseus: Why? Servant: They're being bodyguards Odysseus: No, why did they come if they're not seeking the Queen's hand? Servant: Oh, they're trying to convince the Prince to marry their daughters. *Meanwhile* Guard #1: *Watching Telemachus with one of his friends* I'm starting to think the Prince might be swinging the other way. Guard #2: That's alright, I've got a son.
can i say something can i say something can i just say o n e little thing i swear upon god i just need to say something
so I’m starting to see more of this again…
um first of all it was clear Reiner had a split personality (soldier/warrior) so Bertholdt had to remind him that HE IS NOT A SOLDIER HE IS A WARRIOR! A WARRIOR GET THAT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL! “Verbally abusing” my guy… most of the seasons bertholdt didn’t talk til last episodes of s2 and first few episodes of s3.
even a friend of mine explains it better🙄👎
anyways, pls understand bert’s character before hating on him👋😭 matter of fact just leave him alone if you hate him that much then fine but don’t be bad mouthing him. Reminder Bertholdt Hoover is an animated character A FICTIONAL CHARACTER!! So to be saying these things is wild, especially saying kill, torture because I have seen those haters day rhat about bertl. Bertholdt is not an abuser. Reiner was not being abused, it was his split personality cause from Marcel’s death as well. Bertholdt did not support Marley’s cause. He was a child brainwashed, only a child to help his father who sadly passed away after bertholdt’s desth (I forgot).
He also said he considered the scouts as his comrades, a true marleyan would not consider them as friends more, just distant themselves from the “devil island”
and now this…get ready
1. Bertholdt Did Not Abuse Reiner
The post states that Bertholdt “constantly abused” Reiner and “verbally abused him” whenever Reiner acted in a way he disliked. However, throughout the series, Bertholdt is portrayed as reserved, passive, and hesitant to express strong emotions, let alone be abusive. If anything, Bertholdt often follows Reiner’s lead.
• Bertholdt never physically or verbally abuses Reiner.
• On the contrary, he is often shown supporting Reiner despite his worsening mental state.
• The only time Bertholdt speaks harshly to Reiner is when he confronts him about his dissociation between his Warrior and Soldier personas—something Bertholdt does out of fear and concern, not malice.
2. Bertholdt Was Not Dismissive of Reiner’s Issues
The claim that Bertholdt was “completely dismissive of Reiner’s issues” is false. Bertholdt acknowledges Reiner’s mental struggles multiple times. However, Bertholdt himself is also struggling with guilt and fear, making him less equipped to provide emotional support.
• In Season 2, Episode 10 (“Children”), Bertholdt directly admits to being terrified of their mission and hints at the trauma they both carry.
• Instead of dismissing Reiner, Bertholdt passively goes along with Reiner’s dual identities, likely because he doesn’t know how to help.
3. Bertholdt and Reiner’s Dynamic Was Built on Mutual Dependence
Rather than a toxic or abusive relationship, Bertholdt and Reiner rely on each other heavily as fellow Warriors sent on a mission that has taken a heavy toll on their mental health.
• Reiner is the dominant force between them, and Bertholdt often follows his lead.
• However, Bertholdt does not reject Reiner or treat him with cruelty—he stays by his side until the very end.
• In Season 3, Episode 16, Bertholdt even expresses that he considers Reiner a close friend, despite everything.
4. Bertholdt Did Care for Reiner and Arguably Comforted Him
While Bertholdt is emotionally reserved, that does not mean he never supported or cared for Reiner.
• His loyalty to Reiner is evident, as he sticks by him even after their mission becomes increasingly dire.
• In their final moments together, Bertholdt still considers Reiner his friend, despite their impending doom.
Conclusion: The Post Misrepresents Bertholdt and the Relationship
The idea that Bertholdt was an abusive, unsupportive figure to Reiner is unfounded. Their relationship is built on camaraderie, shared trauma, and reliance rather than toxicity. Bertholdt was not a cruel figure in Reiner’s life—if anything, Reiner was the more dominant, forceful one between the two.
1. Marley ≠ Nazi Germany
Marley is not a one-to-one representation of Nazi Germany. The show’s world-building draws inspiration from multiple historical events and regimes, but it is not meant to be a direct allegory.
• Marley is an imperialist power, not a fascist state like Nazi Germany. It has been at war with multiple nations for centuries, using Eldians as expendable weapons.
Calling Bertholdt and Reiner “Nazi soldiers” is an oversimplification that ignores the show’s deeper themes of manipulation, war propaganda, and moral struggle. They were victims of a larger imperial system, not willing participants in genocide. Using such comparisons is misleading and trivializes real-world history.
I hope this LONG EXPLANATION WILL MAKE IT THROUGH THAT PIG BRAIN OF YOURS because hating on a fictional character is lame and especially saying very concerning things about him👎
In conclusion, shut up,
okay but Jean is the big spoon
he loves being the one to wrap Reiner up in his arms, breathe in the smell he has come to think of as home, comfort
pressing little kisses to the blondes neck till the other is laughing, pulling away with a soft “jean knock it off, your stubble is itchy” which then makes jean bury his face in reiner’s neck, rubbing his cheek against his neck and listening to the laughs spilling past his favorite lips, his boyfriend trying to shove him off, but his long limbs have their advantages
soft nights in bed, under the covers, curled around the back of his love, safe and protected as he listens to the nighttime chatter, reiner’s gentle snores bringing a smile to his face as he kisses his shoulder, caressing the others side as he lets sleep take him
reibert x sanrio ⭐❤️
I feel like he's so much more stronger than Reiner, both mentally and physically, I MEAN COME ON HE'S LITERALLY 6'4 💔, i feel like he just mostly held back alot during training to not attract that much attention on him and also, he's like very shy.
Even Keith Shadis said he has potential but he just lack the aggression and the initiave to make a decision by himself. I truly believe if he wasn't as timid as he was, he would've took the number two spot in the cadet corps 🙏🏻, also he literally was trusted to hold the power of the colossal titan? So i think that speaks for itself 🙂↕️
We saw a glimpse of how strong he was in the RTS Arc, where he was left to make all the decision by himself, AND WE CAN SEE HOW STRONG AND SKILLED HE TRULY WAS. He literally DODGED Mikasa's surprise attack from behind AND HE MANAGED TO KICK HER TOO!!! Like he was strong enough to dodge and hurt an ACKERMAN, and he only injured his ear in the process. Even Mikasa was shocked with Bertholdt's strength because she has actually never seen him in his full potential.
Going to the cinema to see Titan on Attacks or something like that. I can't wait for those 30 seconds during which Bertholdt will be on the screen 🔥🔥🔥🔥
