Artist's commentary
グリシャ・イェーガー - Yeager Family
"Did you forget what you came here to do?
To avenge your little sister eaten by dogs.
For your comrades.
For Dina. For Kruger. To avenge them.
You keep moving forward.
Even if you die, even after you die.
You started this story, didn't you?"
The Yeager Family. Made this artwork about two years ago.
Episode 79
Yesterday's episode was incredible, it really gave the chills!
The voice acting, the tragedy, the soundtracks, the characters' interactions, their words, expressions and gazes. How Eren in his own madness, was so furious by hearing Frieda's words.
Grisha was amazing, his moments of despair after he killed the Reiss family.. just chills!
And Zeke.. No matter the age, one is still a child of their parents, and if a child gets hurt by them, they will always keep inside them things from the past, memories and wounds that haven't healed.
Thoughts and questions that haven't been answered for many years, like a simple “Why?”
Grisha's words, were everything that Zeke needed to hear.
The voice of a parent, can naturally make the child feel calm and safe.
That's how Zeke felt that moment, he felt relief in his father's embrace.
It was a very touching moment, especially when we read it in the manga.
Regarding this matter, another part that I love, is the moment when Levi meets Kenny before he dies.
If you observe those scenes and their conversation, you can understand that Levi was hurt that Kenny abandoned him when he was just a child, and the moment Levi asks him:
“That day.. why? Why did you leave me?"
his looks are more like a hurt child that wants an answer from his parent rather than the strongest fierce soldier we know.
It doesn't matter how great someone is, nor the age, one will always be a child of their parents.
