**HEARTBROKEN HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
Things go from bad to worse for Xie Lian, as he attempts to be a robber, fails miserably, and worse -- runs into some familiar faces from the heavenly realm! Xie Lian's guilt, desperation, and helplessness causes him to spiral into not only breaking code and drinking, but into a residual depression.
And just when you think it can't get WORSE...it does, as another familiar face or two show up. I have never felt so badly for Xie Lian,...

**OLD MAN YAOI HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
Can we go back to the sweetness of Episode 6 this season? There was some humor in this episode, to be sure! And some delicious shojou-yaoi-esque moments between FukuFuku, but the overall vibe of despair, Ranpo and others getting hurt (LEAVE THEM ALONE), and the overall sense that our crew isn't getting out of this is SO foreboding!
And next week is the penultimate episode...hoo buddy!

**STABBING HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
So...Guts is very dependable...but maybe not the most "stealthy" assassin! This episode was a MASSACRE! New characters, dead characters, and both Charlotte and Griffith getting chummier, and MAYBE - just maybe - we have some development with Guts and Casca!
But Guts is in for a semi-existential crisis, as he overhears Griffith say some words that may call their entire relationship into question...or not! Things are definitely getting dicier t...

**MECHANICAL HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
So one part of this episode was a classic 90's shonen battle anime cranked up to an ELEVEN with the frantic animation...and the other half was the opening of a "True Crimes" documentary!
We're ALREADY at Shibuya?! We DON'T get confirmation on things?! Gege, are you TRYING to destroy me already?! Y'all...this does not bode well!

We are FINALLY to Season 4 content, and I could not be more EXCITED! It's going to be fun going back through this series leading up to the final parts of the anime and recounting all the insanity!
This volume starting to show us the "other side" of how things have been all this time and that maybe....maaaaaaaybe Paradis didn't have it SO bad from the start in comparison? But again, apples and oranges - much like our two sides of the coin...

Okay, so I have really enjoyed the KNB Light Novels, but THIS ONE took the cake! I cannot tell you how excited I was to read about these chapters and ALL THE SURPRISE SHIPPING! I was FLOORED!

This episode was full of callbacks, questions finally answered, symbolism, and the antics of our peacekeeping blonde as we push towards the final act!

It was requested that I review these two manga volumes before I dive into the contents of the "final" AOT season in preparation for the last of the anime adaptation -- and to be honest, I had forgotten a LOT more than I realized of these two short one-off's!
Still, the two stories, ESPECIALLY Mikasa's felt like much-needed reviews before we get to Marley, the Warriors, and the final laps of the roller coaster! It's all down...
