Just read chapter 65... I'm so lost T_T Can somebody explain what is going on?
I'll have a go at it...but in all honesty, I was confused by it too
So, the last chapter ended with Kenny the Ripper all of a sudden showing up at the cave with Eren, Historia, and Rod Reiss, and seemed to have plans to want to eat Eren and steal the Titan's Power, thereby screwing the Reiss Family over. So then this chapter wanted to start by explaining Kenny's desire to steal the power and screw over the Reiss Family with a flashback, in which it is explained that tensions were growing between the royal family and the Ackermans as well as the "Asian" race. The royal family feared these two groups of people (Ackermans and Asians) because their memories could not be altered because they did not originate from the majority race. Rather, the Ackermans and Asians were considered part of the minority races. Side note: Don't know if you noticed but Mikasa is both Ackerman and Asian, meaning she's double the badass^^.
Because of these tensions between the royal family and the Ackermans, Kenny comes along and basically tries to ruin Rod's plans. He tries to turn Historia against her own father and he even tries to turn Eren into a titan to give him a fighting chance. Of course the whole history between Kenny and Rod Reiss hasn't been revealed yet because there is still some connection between Kenny and Rod's brother "Uri" that still needs to be explained.
Anyways Kenny tries to help Eren but Eren, being the dumbass/damsel-in-distress that he is, prevents himself from turning into a titan and asks Historia to eat him. I'm thinking this is because he feels guilty for his father's actions of taking the power from the Reiss family but what both Eren and Historia (for who knows what reason) don't realize is that her *censored*ty family has done nothing to save humanity with the titan power and that is why Eren's father forcefully took the power from the Reiss family. So while Eren is feeling guilty about all the people who died because of him and his father, Historia is over here injecting herself with some next-level drugs. She turns into a titan and well...I guess, *censored* is about to go down. Great chapter overall but it bothers me that Historia is portrayed as such an air head. I would have thought she'd be smarter. Hope this terribly long rant made sense to you
