Part 4 of my interview with WolfManiac_. This time:
- We talk about favorite parts of the episode
- We begin discussion of some of the key questions and issues that Eren’s attack on Liberio is now forcing the audience and the characters themselves to confront
- We examine the wildly different points of reference our characters have for warfare and for their own roles as soldiers in the midst of it
P.S. Whoo-hoo!! Episode 50!! Pretty nice that we hit the milestone as part of the interview. I don’t really need to do anything extra to make this special, but…ahh, heck. I’ll post some fun gifs and vids below to celebrate Episode 50. Come to think of it, since the stuff I’m thinking of off the top of my head involves the 2 Ackermann Clan members, and both of them made their Season 4 debut in Episode 6, as well…yup, think I’ll have a few vids each for Mikasa and Levi.
For now, this will only be on the episode web page, not in the description on other podcast sites. I may add my usual multi-link later, but…for now, just keeping it as a main-website perk.

Tybur Family
“A family of nobles that revolted against Eldia in the Great Titan War 100 years ago. They joined hands with the Marleyan hero Helos to overcome the Eldian Empire and bring an end to the war. As nobles who have possessed the War Hammer Titan, they have guided Marley for many years and hold significant influence both domestically and abroad. Currently, Willy Tybur is the head of the family.[4]“

[You’ll have to hover for the Twitch ones, as Twitch doesn’t provide proper cards that show what the link destination is. Of course, that doesn’t work as well for mobile. It’s why I’m using an alternate but less aesthetically pleasing site for a secondary combination link.]

Extra Vids and Gifs to Celebrate Episode 50 Milestone for “A Dash of Salt with AJ”
P.S. The Levi-and-Mikasa one is just being included as a general/friendship/family tribute for them both. I thought it was a beautifully done one that showcases the parallels and synergy between the two characters. I feel that Levi would naturally be someone to mentor Mikasa, even more than he did with Eren, because he can understand and relate to her in various ways. I may one day do an episode regarding the topic of “shipping” them—mainly just to address the family issue—but I’m not getting into that right now.
Also, the two Season 4 clips that have no embedded subtitles do actually have English captions if you turn those on in YouTube.
I animated Mikasa dancing to “16 Shots” by Stefflon Don! Choreography is by Yeji Kim from 1MILLION Dance Studio. My insta/YouTube/tiktok is @frozenjaegert if you’re interested in future aot animations 🙂 from r/ShingekiNoKyojin
This is one of those episodes where the comment section will be open on YouTube, so feel free to sound off there! HOWEVER…if you’re a manga reader, PLEASE make sure to properly mark off and hide from view any Season 4 spoilers you wish to share (that is, use a spoiler warning and make sure the spoiler material itself is below the “read more” tag). I do plan on moderating comments to try and help people avoid getting accidentally spoiled regarding Season 4.
And if you’re a troll who wants to deliberately do that for “fun”? …I’ll respond accordingly.
All right, folks. Shinzou wo sasageyo!!

Content Notice: Regarding content, most of my coverage of Attack on Titan will be in the PG range, unless otherwise noted. PG-13 will be when we get into things like particularly graphic descriptions of violence and suicide.
The show itself is definitely an R/TV-MA series, however, and I would recommend a minimum age of 15 or so. That is chiefly due to violence, mainly of the action type. That aspect gets very intense. There’s some strong language here and there, but not to where it’s really noteworthy, and as far as I can recall, there’s been no graphic nudity or sexual content thus far, though there are certain other content caveats mentioned in my review.
