..inspiring and reminding everyone on the battlefield to not lose sight of what is important, such was the 13th commander of the Survey Corps.
I like this scene (and Erwin) very much, lol can you tell
#erwinsmith#attackontitan
In the olden days, MORALE was a huge factor in determining the outcome of wars. Often soldiers used to just FLEE before the war because naturally, no one wants to die. Weak leaders who didn't used to fight themselves were especially prone to this.
Quite an intuitive idea, right?
But as the camera focuses on Erwin, still hanging from the Titan's mouth, he seems unfazed, and STILL being in full control of himself, putting the mission above his own life, roars, "ADVANCE!!!"
#AttackOnTitan is the concoction of all things I want from an anime
No wonder I enjoyed it as a kid when all I looked for was BOOM BAM and lots of action
And again, as an adult when I developed the mental faculties to look a lil deeper
No wonder its universally enjoyed
