which is not a plot twist?
Oya talk?

And who tf said I couldn't understand Evangelion?
I said you couldn't...and I know you don't
Aside from the Eren being the one that influenced Grisha from the future, which other plot twists are there?

Even aside that...I listed 18...you said 3 are not...
That's still 15 and goes with my statement that out of 50 anime battles ...15-20 are from Naruto

Kaycee7
And I said you couldn't list 20 top fights from the show alone. And there's no way those 15 fights are all making it into a top 50 list. But when you've only seen a handful of anime, I guess you would think that.

lol, Obito v Kakashi is regarded by many as the best fight in Naruto with beautiful choreography...but u said it's not a top fight? Lol

Obito vs Konan that elevated Konan from just a side character...the fight that revealed the workings of the izanagi? That showed the level of Konan's dedication to Pain?

Gaara v Kimimaro is Gaara's best fight sef apart form the one with Lee...not only that it created a very memorable character in Kimimaro...with all his devotion to Orochimaru who only saw him as a mere tool tf

Even aside that...I listed 18...you said 3 are not...

Might as well add Kiba vs Naruto and Kankuro vs Sasori as well, at this point. Lawwd, you're entertaining.

I'm done responding to this comparison...
I won't degrade it further by comparing it to Black Lagoon
AoT should be proud it's being compared to a classic like Black Lagoon.

it's your choice...
But you could try one day...
I always recommend some particular anime for beginners...the ones easy to enjoy...not all are the best

Jujutsu Kaisen (very enjoyable)
Hunter x hunter (has one of the best written arcs "chimera ant arc" in all anime
Attack on Titan (possibly the best written anime ever, definitely best of the present generation)
Death Note (one of the best anime too)

To me these are some of the ones to start with
There are many top ones but I usually don't recommend for a start cos they might be slow paced like FMA brotherhood or niche types
Thanks.
One day i am going to try attack on the Titans, because it seems to be the most popular.

All the plot twists in season 3 nko?
About the truth of the world which was different from our initial belief?
About the existence of other countries and all being their enemy just when we thought they had finally gained freedom...only for them to end up in a worse situation?
Zeke being Eren's brother contrary to every other indication?
Seemingly random Titan being Dina, Geisha's former wife? Leading to how Eren can exploit the founding Titan
The king who we all believed was causing all the problems for the scouts being no more than a mere puppet
Historia being the rightful heir?



Season 4
Eren being the major villain all along?
Eldians/ Paradis not being the saints we were led to believe all along ...with the rest of the world having good reasons for the actions...
Twist of why Zeke truly betrayed Grisha
Zeke being an ally to Paradis and actually helping Paradis all along by even securing them Allies...right from season 2 (ODM gear he took)
Eren manipulating Grisha contrary to belief that Grisha was manipulating him
Eren manipulating Zeke contrary to what the scouts believed?
Eren sending memories to Kruger from the future to the past?
Reveal of the truth about the great Titan War and the pact of Karl Fritz and the Tybur family contrary to previous belief?
Eren being just a mere key to access the paths contrary to everyone's belief that he would be in full control at the paths?
Ymir being a mere slave and a mere victim contrary to the belief in different books that she a principal factor responsible for all the suffering and torment?
Ymir suffering from Stockholm syndrome?
Ymir again was twisted to actually have the desire to be free but needed that edge which Eren exploited...


Season 2
The walls being made of Titans...their enemies basically protecting them...
Titans being formerly human?

whether or not you end up agreeing with my rating as the best anime of the generation...
When you're done with all 4 seasons...compare with Black Lagoon...watch Black lagoon too

Note: AOT has
Season 1
Season 2
Season 3 part 1
Season 3 part 2
Season 4 part 1
Season 4 part 2

When you're done with both, kindly drop your ratings...and tell us which is better written

If these are all plot twists, then every story is full of plot twists which means there's nothing special about AoT having many plot twists.
There's a difference between plot twist, reveals and rising action. Learn it.

And before you start strawmaning, I'm not saying there aren't some plot twists on there. Just that most of them aren't.

first all plot twists are reveals...note that...

The critical element is the change in a narrative belief...e.g when the audience has been led to believe something which is then twisted to actually be something else...
Plot twists have weight...some are major...some are minor...some are ground breaking...

And too many plot twists in a story can lead to plot holes and inconsistencies... especially too many major or ground breaking plot twists...
AOT is known for having so many plot twists...it is written in a way to mislead the audience with something else being revealed later on
Very very few series can make so many plot twists and keep the story consistent...and even fewer can work on it perfectly and direct the story better ...

E.g the major plot twist at the end of RED NOTICE led to many serious plot holes and inconsistencies...

AOT pulled a breaking bad but in such an unpredictable way...

Unlike Breaking Bad which right from season 1 showed a gradual change in the protagonist...
AOT had the protagonist consistent at the core throughout but with different reveals and events leading to the fall from grace of the protagonist
Right from season 1 of AOT, Eren has been the same...he just learns and acts based on his current belief and every current revelation...
At the core he has always been the same...
He was never clearly good or bad...
He has always acted in ways and said things that we were led to believe was okay because of his circumstances and his enemies mostly being human eating monsters
He brutally murdered the robbers/kidnappers when he was a kid...we were okay with that cos he was defending himself and Mikasa
He has stated he would wipe out the titans, destroy the world etc on multiple occasions, we ignored it...
Characters like Levi have attested that he's a monster who cannot be tamed right from s1
Reiner in S2 stated that out of everyone in the world, Eren was the last person he wanted to have the coordinate cos he knew the kind of person he was...we still ignored it
...he has always been one who's solution to problems is to completely eliminate that problem...it was Titans then...now it's humans...
Now in season 4, the same words and acts he did in season 1-3 now carry a different meaning to us cos we have seen how he acts in a very different circumstance...
Because of this, no one could predict Eren being the main villain

Eren Yeager is one of the best written characters in fiction...at least from the current 87 episodes of the show...
If you don't realize this...you don't know anything about writing in movies or series

All plot twists are reveals indeed but not all reveals are plot twists.
And if every change in narrative direction constitutes a plot twist, then having a lot of it in a consistent story isn't all you're working it up to be.
Basically any well-written complex story is full of plot twists.
Which brings us back to the point of AoT not really doing anything special by having a lot of plot twists. It's not the first anime to do it, it's not the only anime doing it and it won't be the last to do it.

lol, AOT constantly employs misdirection...you have characters say and state things as something or it is inferred by the plot as something...but then turns out to be something entirely different...

E.g Ymir (the one in S2) was revealed to be the Jaw titan...that is a mere reveal...but would not constitute a plot twist...
Same as Reiner being the Armoured Titan, is a mere reveal ...

A plot twist would be Kruger being the Owl and holder of the Attack Titan because he's one of the Marlian soldiers who has consistently tortured, executed and Sent Eldians to "Paradise". This is because apart from the acts he has done...Marley runs blood tests consistently and Eldians were forced to wear arm bands...
These factors misdirects us to believe Kruger was nothing more than another evil Marlian soldier

Now of course that is a much minor twist compared to the major twists in s4 or s3

You're just making bold statements but have not backed up anything... nothing whatsoever since...

Reiner and Bertholdt being titans is actually a plot twist, a major one at that. Also took the audience by surprise.

Kruger being The Owl is a pretty minor twist indeed cos any decent deductive reader/watcher can already deduce that The Owl is an official with access. You just don't know which official.

A masterpiece, the story , the characters, light yagami, L. This is an absolutely fantastic anime , emotional rollercoaster, was light justified?, I loved every piece of up and down, the near misses, the 'almosts', everything.
