So far, we have more questions than we do answers mainly, why is Historia and her family so important and what is the true value of that importance? The fact that we don’t have these answers yet is making the kidnapping, and Ymir’s deal with Bertolt and Reiner, feel convoluted. One of the storylines I’ve personally been having trouble following is the Ymir-Historia one, partly because the plot feels so fragmented in the grand scheme of the season, despite being the focus of multiple episodes, and a lot of the logic behind Ymir’s actions are hard to follow.

“Charge” saw Ymir and Historia wrangling over their individual intentions and options in the middle of a dangerous terrain, Erwin’s borderline miniacal ruthlessness on full display, and how Armin may just be the most terrifying one of the Eren-Mikasa-Armin trio. We picked up from where episode 10 left off last week, with the Survey scouts and the Military Police in collaboration to rescue Eren and Ymir from Reiner and Bertolt, and this week’s episode did not fail to play out the conflicts that have been mounting for the past few episodes.
