#trapdoor-kun

Actually @julystorms just reminded me in a reply that Pieck specifically called out the guard for their facial hair.

Since Connie is clean shaven now and in Shiganshina, that might be evidence that she realizes the facial hair is fake.

Hi shy anon :) Yay, I’m glad you also love Jean and happy holidays to you too! ^^ I think it’s totally a possibility that the soldier she recognizes is Jean, although he could also be Connie–I’ve seen both theories floated around! It seems likely he’s someone from Paradis though, and someone we’ve seen before, considering how much build-up there’s been around him :)

Regardless, I really hope we see Jean soon! I miss him. Here, have a quality Jean face :D

I’m all for conspiracy theories involving the SC hiding in Marley but yeah... if that’s Connie that would be one remarkable transformation.

For a quick reference, I put together this chart. Looking at the SC characters, Pieck is canonically the same height as Connie and Jean is 1cm taller than Porco. So you get a rough idea. Comparing the two images, Trapdoor-kun would need to be as tall or taller than Bert.

I would love for Trapdoor-kun to be Connie, but a 34 cm (13″) growth spurt between the ages of 16 and 19 is a little hard to believe. 

The only characters Pieck got a look at were Connie, Jean, Hange and Armin--and Armin was not only rotisseried but at least partially obscured by Eren. 

In the last panel it sort of looks like Armin but all the others seemed to favor Connie. Armin’s gotten a significant number of votes in the poll. I selected “I have no idea“ like the majority because it’s the truth. 

My friend, you’re in the minority but you aren’t alone. So far in the poll, 41 people (5%) believe Armin is Trapdoor-kun while 55 people think it’s Jean. I will kindly ignore that giant chunk of blue dominating the chart :)
