Even when the old guy said his name was Yeager, I still didn’t make the connection or realise Eren was right there. I kinda tilted my head and went “Eh, Eren has the surname Yeager” but that was literally all, I didn’t make any other connection
I’d been so bored, just saying “Okay, it’s been 4 episodes and I just want to get back to Eren, Mikasa and the others now. A 16 episode season and they still haven’t shown up” that I wasn’t noticing who the one legged man was.
Then the final scene happened and HOLY SHIT!!! My boredom immediately took a 180. This is the kind of stuff that makes me sad we have to wait a week between episodes, waiting so god damn long to know what happens next
