'Floch Did Nothing Wrong' - Attack on Titan

#flochdidnothingwrong #flochforster

We return to the realm of Attack on Titan once more, to analyze the true gigachad of the series, Floch Forster. What was once a mere coward of a background character grew into a real stand out role in the Finale Season. With Part 3 of the final season coming up over the horizon, I thought it'd be appropriate to take a deep dive into the leader of the Yaegerists and ask the question... did Floch do anything wrong?

Just some housekeeping stuff, I took some suggestions based on prior videos.

Personally I prefer subs generally, but a lot of people made the good point that many may be listening to my videos rather than watching them, so I chose to use the dub to make it easier for everyone.

Also I screwed up with a lot of pronunciation, and only realized it during the editing stage when it'd be a bit too late to go back. Sorry about that.

In the manga, and I think in the anime as well, floch shows up with 2 other friends a boy and a girl. He has his own mikasa, eren and armin dynamic and watches them all die. I think this is why he resents eren initially. Eren got what he wanted he won and his two friends are alive and floch lost everything. That’s the kind of shit that follows you

[darkusblader]

The only thing floch did wrong was that hair style in season 3

[patgray]

If the world is trying to genocide my race then I want Floch on my side.

[cheesingbond]

What strikes me the most is the fact that Floch has more meaningfull character development in mere 20+ chapters than Mikasa has in entire manga. And people somehow call him a "bad character".

[vivekjha]

Floch was always more logical than Eren. Floch wanted to revive Erwin meanwhile Eren got emotional and choosed armin over Erwin.

[fredyRosas]

Hail the king👑, true patriot and loyal friend till the end.

[rodericksasu]

I sided with Floch - Erwin should've been saved over Armin. Levi as strong as he is physically, he wasn't willing to be a devil to keep Erwin alive.

[valkiria]

Jean straight up agrees that the rumbling is the way for Paradis yet joins the alliance because of his feelings

[Johnathanbyers]

Kill 100% of the outside world. Save all your people, friends and island. All while shattering the cycle of war between your people and the outside world
Or
Killing 80% of the outside world. Saving your friends for the time being but ultimately condemning your people and island to a inevitable genocide from the outside world that will leave your friends blood lines, your people and your island ALL DESTROYED

Floch did nothing wrong.
Eren was retconned at the last minute to give mikasa stans the ending they wanted instead of the ending that had been built up for so long.

[NerdyBlue]

The island still got destroyed after all that damn...
I thought after everything they talk their way into having peace

[sinlessspark]

Great video! Floch is such a nuanced character and I think your analysis did him justice.

[MrStraightIt]

Flochs character development is amazing and arguably top 3-5 characters developments in the show

[brothers_of_nod]

Floch was the only one with his head screwed on, he was truly loyal to the people and is it any wonder they were happy with the rumbling and the yeagerists when Hange was doing the same crap the old government did? Hange was by far the character I hate the most of the alliance, weak, pathetic, willing to turn on her ideals in some aspects and betray her own people yet not willing to turn on others and be a bleeding heart sod both at the same time. A soldier is meant to dedicate themselves to their people, Erwin even if he didn't agree with the rumbling, would not have doomed Paradis to save a world that hates him and his people, it should have been him that was picked.

[lerneanlion]

Finally, someone who called out Hange and Armin out and also knowing that Marley has no interest of talking like at all! Those two are just too naive! They should have known better! Befriending the Marleyan captives is one thing but trying to negotiate with the Marleyans on the mainland is a completely different matter! And while it is not necessarily mean Erwin have to be the one who Levi chosen to revive, what important here is that someone managed to come up with a plan similar to Emperor Heraclius once they are in contact with the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers, learned of the war between Marley and the Mid-East Allied Forces and have such a plan suggested to the government in order to legally go to war against Marley once it got approved, which I believed to be most likely the case because it is better than both the Rumbling and Zeke's plan. If you wanted to know what kind of plan it is, I called it the Heraclius Plan, named it after Emperor Heraclius himself.

My king Floch. Absolute goated character. He was the only person in aot whos points/statements could never be refuted . Anime original ending will make you and the jaegerists sacrifices worth it.

[PlagueNeco-ntlv]

How can one soldier be so devilishly based

[callmek]

Floch the courageous soldier of humanity who reject his cowardness and dedicated the heart for eldia.

[FerociousMit]

Yeah I never see why Armin is considered erwin's successor when he was never able to rally people like Erwin. Armin would come up with a plan, then Mikasa or Eren would really everyone to listen to Armin. Floch straight up didn't need no help, and after Eren told him his initial plan, floch was quick to make sure it went as planned so he is definitely strategic like Erwin and Armin as well, making him more like Erwin than armin is.
