Armin: “We won, he is going to destroy Marley's military with the rumbling”
Eren:
Armin: “Just the military, right?”
Eren:

[apocryphalbebop]

Gabi two seconds ago: "Alright, I killed that eldian devil leader, now i can-"
"Gabi now: _front row seats to the biblical apocalypse_

[vidhitnayak]

I love how the sky immediately turn red. Its epic and horrifying at the same time . What an episode!

[harisshahab]

The fact that this episode is called “From you, 2000 years ago” which is in reference to the very first episode “To you, 2000 years from now” makes this scene more bone chilling.

[thebush]

I just love the interaction between Mikasa and Armin. Armin being way too positive over the situation while Mikasa is just "huh!?...what!?..."

[danshakulawrence]

0:15 The duration of that transformation flash... it really feels like some ancient, primordial Titan force has just been awakened for the first time in 2, 000 years.

[spartanv]

Eren's eyes moving to look at Zeke after the spine attached has to be the scariest thing I've seen in any Anime. MAPPA, you are something else.

[HaroldTheWizardCat]

They did this scene perfectly. Literally better than I could’ve imagined and they got the music perfectly too

[protophantom]

The music made this scene even more amazing. Makes you feel like it’s really over and eren won. Damn this anime deserves to be a top 10 anime of all time.

[x-omnistar-x]

This is the moment where Attack On Titan cemented itself as a fundamental part of anime history.

[wampogi]

I'm amazed how Floch always survives being in the most dangerous situations 😂😂😂

[cdntrooper]

The way armin thinks that eren is on they’re side then he notices wall maria is gone and then realizes what happened is amazing

[JYang]

I’ll admit, The Founding Titan form isn’t the most conventional Titan form but damn I’ll admit it looks badass. Puts the Colossal Titan to shame in size

[boppo]

the most badass part of this scene is the roar at 1:12; that’s how the founding titan controls its titans, through screams. eren is telling the wall titans “it’s time to march”

[colza]

The greatest scene in anime history, i come back to watch this every month

[isakisak]

This scene was way better than i thought it would be, i imagined a lot of shoddy cgi for this when reading the manga since so much is happening.

[bugattibunny]

Was really kinda confused how they'd make Eren move during his Founding Form, but the slithering is just perfect

[Tygermite]

Now this is how I was hoping the Rumbling would go. Red skies, dark music and a terrifying scene. It makes what's about to come truly an apocalyptic event.

[arpitsuman]

1:12 is the best raging roar of Eren of all transformations 🔥🔥

[mitromney]

Eren's Founding Titan design has got to be the best character design from an anime I've seen, period. So much symbolism and yet makes SO MUCH SENSE from the narrative perspective as well.
Symbolism - Eren's massive rib cage looks like a giant bird cage. Obviously, Eren = Bird seeking freedom from a cage has been symbolism that we've been exposed to for the entire series. And yet, Eren himself is dangling like a marionette on the side of the birdcage, tied to it with strings of destiny - all he ever wanted to is freedom, but even now that he has all the power in the world he is still nothing more than destiny's pawn, tied to his fate, unable to fully leave the cage, following him everywhere and restraining him like a massive shadow.
Narrative - This titan is the true form of Hallucigenia. Hallucigenia is a worm that has no creativity on its own, it was always dependent on Ymir for the titan designs from the very start. Now that Ymir is free and she refuses to make any more titans, Eren's Founding has to look pretty much like a default form that would be more natural to the Hallucigenia worm - so it just replicates itself, and combines it with a human form in a weird, mutated way. This is why Eren also looks like a giant, massive worm walking on hundreds of legs.
It's perfect. Saying THIS MUCH to your audience/readers through a transformation... Isayama is a freakin genius. I mean every other anime just makes their characters more cool looking, buff or changes their hair color... AOT really is on another level with its storytelling.
