*gets pistol whipped*

*Ryang-Ha will remember this*

Jack • 2 years ago

From this we can take two notes: (and more to come)

-Don't mess with his girl = Dead!!
-Don't mess with him = Karma is a b**!!

Kirito • 2 years ago

That guy with same va as luck kinda looks like luck when he gets angry because that guy slammed that pistol to song the prey of that blonde guy lol

Jack • 2 years ago

Yeah, but Its crazy seeing him in here lol, assassin doesn't suit him well.

Veldora • 2 years ago

*Ryang-Ha will pay you back triple.*

Mr.Gold • 2 years ago

The moment Ryang-Ha was being docile, it was at that point I knew, they f**ked up

Kirito • 2 years ago

No weapon needed he'll get his revenge song always gets his revenge

Whoever • 2 years ago

no more mouthless guy... at least for few moments:P

XanKaBoi • 2 years ago

sike lol

Anime & Rutabagas • 2 years ago

Was so ready to say RIP lol

Judgment526 • 2 years ago

"Tis but a scratch!"

Sprayquaza • 2 years ago

Id say good riddance the voice annoyed me

Mr.Gold • 2 years ago

I just want to b***h slap him like there's no tomorrow... I was kind of pissed they decide to keep him 🙃

Kirito • 2 years ago

I really thought that mouthless guy got headshot but it was the glasses that hit his head lol and when they were facing that guy that shoot him he destroyed that window to hit him what a cool guy 😎

Noah Winns-Cromer • 2 years ago

As much as I liked him, his lack of mouth DID take me out of the show.

Sadist 2D-KUN • 2 years ago

and his way of speaking...it feels on purpose

Sprayquaza • 2 years ago

it feels forced AF

Kirito • 2 years ago

Yeah it looks like its forced or Maybe he's just trying to talk like that to look cool

Judgment526 • 2 years ago

Wasn’t this guy supposed to be the comic relief?

Edit: Guess they couldn't just kill off the comic relief after all. xD

Noah Winns-Cromer • 2 years ago

I would assume so, but given how our two leads are so lackluster, I couldn't tell you much on the others, much less expect ANYTHING.

Veldora • 2 years ago

I expected to not expect something.

Mr.Gold • 2 years ago

Comic Relief? He kind of ruins it for me 😕

Kirito • 2 years ago

It's kinda funny that blonde guy is smiling while taking that corpse and that guy he's dragging has the same hairstyle as eren

DesuYoda • 2 years ago

That was some of the worst dang anime logic I've ever seen...like no explanation where the bullet went...he just "missed?" From right outside the glass?
That was awful anime logic. AT LEAST TRY TO work with physics, if your world is set up in the "real world."

MeguminExplosion • 2 years ago

This is anime. Why do you care if its realistic or not. Attack on Titan has 3d maneuver gear which is physically impossible but I dont see you talking smack about that.

a quick google search would have saved you from looking dumb.

windows are designed to deflect impact / shattering. Look it up before you start spewing BS. Wouldnt be strange for the bullet to go off trajectory. Im in the military my eye pro is designed to protect my eyes if a stray round hits me.

Law enforcement and military personnel have studied bullet performance through glass for years. The nature of their work dictates that rounds be as accurate as possible. This same philosophy transfers over to the civilian world. If you are going to fire rounds through a windshield, you better know what the effect will be.

Let’s look at shooting from a vehicle through the windshield at an assailant in front of the vehicle. To set up the training scenario, we’ll say that the car has stalled. I say this because, like me, you would probably just run over someone presenting a lethal threat in front of your car.

Now, if you aim at the threat’s center-mass and fire your shot, the impact will be higher than your point of aim. If you look at the bullet hole on the windshield you will notice that it is oblong. This is because the windshield is at an angle. This angle causes the top of the bullet to impact first, thus changing its flight path. As you can imagine, there are a number of moving parts to this copper and laminated glass formula. As a general rule of thumb, though, you are encouraged to shoot several inches low when firing from inside a vehicle.

If the roles are reversed and you find yourself shooting into a vehicle through the windshield, the same physics apply. This time, however, the slope of the glass will cause the lower part of the bullet to strike first, thus causing a lower point of impact. So, you need to aim higher.

The amount of drop once again is determined by the caliber being fired, the angle of the windshield in respect to the shooter and the distance from which you are shooting. Snipers spend astronomical amounts of time charting data on specific rounds designed to be shot through glass. This is especially true with the law enforcement community. Their shots must be made with surgical precision. Only through extensive practice and data collection can you really begin to have any sort of accurate control over just where the round will impact.

More Science

If you practice shooting through a windshield, you’ll notice that there are usually many holes in the target. Windshields are made of laminated glass, which is especially treacherous for bullets to penetrate. The glass can sometimes tear the outer copper jacket off of the lead core. This causes multiple impacts on the target. The downside to this is that this round deformation can reduce its effectiveness on an assailant. It cannot be overstated that you should be moving and preparing with follow-up shots on target.

Testing has demonstrated that larger-caliber rounds exhibit the least amount of shift when fired through glass. Additionally, their increased mass allows for a larger remaining core should the jacket be torn away. This should not be considered a diminishment of the 9mm round, nor an endorsement for the .45 ACP. While they perform differently, it’s not significant enough to call the .45 ACP a glass round.

Many more factors play into this equation as well, such as whether the round is a hollow point or FMJ. Unless you have a stock of windshields and a variety of testing ammo at your disposal, we should review the general data and make our shots based on that. If you’re shooting out of a vehicle, aim slightly low. If you’re shooting into a vehicle, aim slightly high.

DesuYoda • 2 years ago

Totally hear you. Granted. All your info is valid. Thank you for your service and expertise.
Not trying to look smart or anything here...just discussing consistency and realism in world building.
However, for the scenario shown, it's difficult to make the same conclusions: barrel perpendicular to the glass, "trained assassin" not making any follow-up shots, and again, the bullet disappeared like a Glaser Safety Slug or something.
And again, AOT is AOT, made in that world, that context. (Which is a show I personally don't care for, stuck it out the whole first season, but is just not my thing, for other reasons.) So you won't hear talking smack about AOT because I quit that, but I try not to hate on other folk's shows.
If they want the everlasting steam/air drives that last until the script calls for, that's cool...that's part of the world building.
Fiction has to be consistent with the world building it creates. This show has shown several things really difficult to swallow: like the guy who isn't affected by a stun gun because of "past history of using drugs," which cases I've only heard about is someone has to be high AF on something for stun guns/tasers not to be affected on the human nervous system. That hurt to watch. It's just a trait of fiction: if it's in a "real world" it's selling itself on "real world rules" otherwise it's going to be jarring to the audience.
Again, not trying to look smart, and all your info about windshields and bullet performance is legit, I'm just pointing out glaring inconsistencies in the scenario we were presented with.

Anos • 2 years ago

bulletproof glass car? lmao

DesuYoda • 2 years ago

It's just really bad writing. If the bullet doesn't hit him in the head, then we need an explanation of where the bullet went, and how, from that range. It can't magically disappear.

Zack D. • 2 years ago

Why do ppl always wanna compare anime with real life logic 🤣 lmao

DesuYoda • 2 years ago

Because there are real-life rules that need to be followed, when the fiction is built in "real world" scenarios. Otherwise, it breaks the 4th wall immediately with your audience. It jars them out of the story.

Noah Winns-Cromer • 2 years ago

I love how the kid is just nonchalantly dragging two dead bodies and tossing them off the boat.

But he's an assassin, and he's leaving a trail of blood like a complete noob!!! Dude, at least put the bodies in a bag! Or have a mop and bucket ready!

Judgment526 • 2 years ago

Was wondering the same thing, lol…like what’s the point of getting rid of the bodies if he’s going to leave that mess behind?

Unless he was planning to clean up the floor afterward.

Noah Winns-Cromer • 2 years ago

I would hope so.

Ohms Nuttachai • 2 years ago

I pictured him doing that and it's weird AF. lol

Mr.Gold • 2 years ago

I would've just left them there, I mean what's the point of cleaning up when the authorities already know who you are considering you failed to kill a key figure in your assassination😑

Jack • 2 years ago

Yeah, the anime might have taken it off were he cleans it or he just don't care since there was already an attempt of murder last ep lol

Noah Winns-Cromer • 2 years ago

Either way, that's attention he shouldn't want behind his back.

Eman Hamed • 2 years ago

Which is why Donny said what he said, about how they should not have let him take care of it

Ger Vang • 2 years ago

He's crazy as hell lol, do you really think he would care about that? Also he left pretty quickly anyways, it's not his fault other people didn't report it lol.

XanKaBoi • 2 years ago

"don't use" *phone ringing*

hmmmm

Judgment526 • 2 years ago

The note just makes it even more sus, lol

Mr.Gold • 2 years ago

I would've yeeted that s**t, I'd think it was a bomb, lol.

Anime & Rutabagas • 2 years ago

Joke on you, I can’t read lol

Jack • 2 years ago

Warning failed with success I guess lol.

Nan Demo K(Nai)ves • 2 years ago

So because of a shard hitting him first he was able to dodge that point blank shot? Jim might be the one with the real experience lol.

I was worried Chateau was going to miss her shots against Tom since she wasn't well but thank goodness she and Jim were able to take him down.

I look forward to how Ryangha gets Nikka and Jinon back, it'll be interesting to see what happens in the next episode since he's in a very disadvantageous state. I wonder if Donny is aware that Ryangha isn't his Ryangha or if he doesn't and that's why he's doing all this, I'm still with the theory that they're two different Ryanghas.

Thank goodness Euripedes regained consciousness and Donny didn't order for them to do something about him.

Jack • 2 years ago

The surprising part is that a shard is not faster that a bullet (correct me if I'm wrong), Chateau is finally showing her trained side to the fullest was amusing to see *-*.

vovan1 • 2 years ago

yeap unreal as hell,

if i would try to bs the plotarmor, i'd give No-mouth-kun a metal skull plate or sth

Bell • 2 years ago

I have two theories about Donny:
1. He thinks Ryang-ha is the original Ryang-ha, so he wants to settle things with him.
2. He knows the original one is dead for sure, so he is very suspicious about a person with the same name, especially if he is meeting with Chateau.

DownloadPizza • 2 years ago

I think he started to dodged when he saw the gun, the shard just created a wound that looks a bit like a gunshot so the guy left him alone.

Jack • 2 years ago

How to get away with murder- Jinon, throwing them on the ocean of course lol. No mouth-kun covering his mouth this time, now that's the reason I like him even more now lol.

I don't know 100% but this Ryung must be the kid Ryung who "saved" Chatou, but still the age and appearance are a little confusing for this to be the case T_T
