    Like everything else in that anime, you always have limits.
    Levi might be incredibly fast and skilled, his body still has limits.
    My only question is how can he wald after spraining his ankle.

    Now regarding those tears, I wonder what Levi thinks about them.

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    I gotta say, I'm really annoyed that the Survey Corps has to turn Eren over because the mission failed.

    Probably that it's intelligent, which he already knew.

    I wonder why she was crying. Was it just pain, or is she really upset that she failed?

    She cried for the same reason that the Recon Squad feels down about - Operation Failed means that the sacrifices were for nothing. You can somehow justify the body count if you got results, but to fail means that they were wasted more or less. She failed in her objective to capture Eren which she perceived was for the greater good, while the Recon Corps failed to capture the female titan which they also thought was for the greater good.

    It's important to work out what you have to do, and focus on accomplishing that. When you become greedy and yearn for more, you risk losing what is really important to you. Levi showed that in how he acted. Mikasa almost died while trying to kill the titan when it wasn't necessary. The body-retrieving pair demonstrated right afterwards that when such greedy actions backfire, it can be catastrophic.

    Small, steady steps as they say.

    I feel that Armin has the potential to become someone like Erwin. He's smart and had a vision for venturing outside the walls. The thing that was holding him back was his physical weakness and his lack of balls (that latter part comes with being smart and being able to perceive risks). With this expedition, it seems he's capable of going through with the best possible actions and hardening his will. He currently lacks charisma, but that will come when he hardens up. It's not like Pixis was the most appealing person, and it seems Erwin is so elusive to most people that they wouldn't really follow him for his sake anyway.

    Usual anime trend would put Eren as team leader though due to his passion, with Mikasa following him with great skill and even greater devotion, leaving someone like Armin to deal with strategy and Jean to lead the city defence/administration.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    i wonder whats the plan now, anyway. if i was erwin, iīd go with a small team to retrieve whateverīs inside the base of erenīs house. what was the plan of this failed mission anyhow? finding out about the human titan? just go with a group of 2-3 people that youīre sure are on your side and get to erenīs house!

    btw, WHEN is the soundtrack for this anime being released? itīs soooo fantastic, damn. Whenever the music kicks in, i get hyped for that Wii U-game thatīs getting music from the same composer. And thinking back, even Xenoblade Chronicles for Wii, the de-facto prequel to the upcoming game, had similiar themes as Shingeki no Kyojin (wonīt spoiler since you should play for yourselves :P). so good.

    That's the mission objective. The higher-ups knew that as well and approved it. Going to Eren's house to fulfil the "bait" objective won't help them out in this case. If Erwin wasn't summoned the way he was, perhaps he could have sent a small squad out after they entered the walls (so that they can go out covertly).

    It might not be as easy as we think though, because they can't fight on normal ground and the house seems to be ages away. If intelligent titans are actually around and looking for them (since they let the news out), then a small squad could be swamped by numbers.
