about irwin's plan to capture the female titan [Music] irwin's plan to capture the female titan begins in episode 15. in this section i'll explain how it was set up the scouts plan an expedition just one month after the new recruits join us it's speculated that erwin has a secret objective by making the expedition irwin announced the existence of aaron's basement and the scouts plan to reach it which is something that should have been sensitive information foreign aaron's position within the formation wasn't given until the day of the expedition all of the new recruits were given conflicting minds squad levi also speculates that the mission has a secret objective simply after the female titan is captured john armand and squad levi are able to put together irwin's plan for foreign foreign foreign irwin's plan was almost flawless it would have succeeded but he failed to account for the female titan's ability in this section i'll be talking about the elsa's notebook ova episode which is canon and is meant to be watched after season 1. this ova is the first time the name ymir has ever said the content of this ova was originally chapter 18.5 of the manga despite being a character in season 1 ymir wasn't named until the previous episode and hanji didn't learn her name until this scene until this point in the manga ymir had been listed as having an unknown name there being a character we knew also called dumeer was supposed to be a plot twist but the effect is lost on anyone who hadn't watched the ova before season 2. that's why hanji and levi had such a surprised reaction to hearing the name ymir in episode 28. that was all the foreshadowing and plotting an attack on titan season one and two next time i'll be covering season three which will be much more interesting and is the reason i wanted to create this series in the first place click the link on screen to watch the next part in this series and subscribe if you enjoyed i plan to make more analysis

Like the title says, this is part 1. I intentionally designed this video so that people who have just finished season 2 can watch it without being spoiled. At first I was making this to have it to show my friends, but it turned into something bigger.

This is the first time I've ever done narration, so please forgive the low quality.

The video covering season 3 will be out in a couple of days.

Does this include foreshadowing that will become apparent after season 4?

Honestly AoT has got to be the king of foreshadowing in mainstream shonen
