|— Bertolt threatens Armin Arlert[5]
Bertolt Hoover (ベルトルト・フーバー Berutoruto Fūbā?) was an Eldian, who was born in Marley. As the Colossus Titan, he served as a major antagonist. He was also a graduate of the 104th Training Corps and a former member of the Survey Corps. He ranked 3rd in the Training Corps and was described by others as a weak-willed and quiet person.
He possesses the ability to transform into a Titan known as the Colossus Titan. In the year 845, he and Reiner Braun use their abilities to breach Wall Maria in an attempt to lure out and acquire the Founding Titan for Marley.
Human Form
Bertolt was a rather tall, slender young man. He was the tallest of all currently known holders of the Power of the Titans, and one of the tallest characters in the series. He had short, dark hair, brown eyes, thin eyebrows and an elongated face. He was seen mainly in his Trainee uniform, and after he enters the Survey Corps, he uses their uniform. After his encounter with the Beast Titan, his hair appeared shorter.
Titan form
As the Colossus Titan, he possessed a very distinctive appearance and a number of unusual features. He grew to roughly 60 meters tall, making him around four times the height of any other Titan seen thus far (with the only exception of Rod Reiss' Titan form).
Bertolt's Colossus Titan form is one of the more heavily-deformed Titans seen in the series - he appeared to lack skin entirely and his jaw and facial structure seemed to be heavily altered from the human form. He was also constantly releasing jets of steam from the surface of its body, in a manner that parallels his frequent nervous sweating. His feet were also quite different to those of a human and other Titans, as they were swollen and pillar-like in appearance. His physiology was modeled after the male sex, but like all Titans, he lacked sexual organs. He had slim arms in comparison to his body and legs. He appeared to be the only one who does not leave a Titan body behind after returning to human form, seeming to evaporate into thin air.
Bertolt was a quiet young man who identified himself as someone with a weak will that follows popular opinion. Likewise, his instructor noted him to be a person with great potential, but an utter lack of initiative.[6] He was further described by Eren Yeager as being taciturn, and Bertolt tended to remain in the background unless necessary. By his own admission, he is something of a coward and is noted for his low self-esteem.
His withdrawn behavior initially led to the impression of him being the least emotionally compromised of the three Titan agents. He showed little attachment or remorse over his actions, seeming to care only about his partner, Reiner.[7] However, when confronted by his former comrades and questioned about their friendship, he revealed himself to be far more conflicted and guilt-ridden than it originally appeared. His claims of not having a choice add a further level of ambiguity to his character, leaving many of his actions in question.[8]
He showed great devotion to both of his fellow agents, Reiner Braun and Annie Leonhart, and was easily driven to action or anger when he felt either was threatened.[9] Initially, he showed himself to be wary of others and acted as a voice of reason to Reiner, cautioning him repeatedly about lowering his guard. His interactions with Ymir reveal that while his actions have caused considerable suffering, he was not a cruel person and is capable of showing genuine kindness towards others.[10]
Bertolt did not show complete disregard for the human race and his 104th Training Corps friends. He showed panic and slight tears when he, Reiner, and Annie left Marco Bott to die.[11] When confronted by Armin Arlert, he referred to his former comrades as "cherished friends" and repeatedly stated that they are not at fault.[12] This leaves the impression that Bertolt's reasons for wanting them to die are not personal, and are due to unknown factors outside of their current comprehension or knowledge. Bertolt once more shows sympathy for his old friends by expressing his disappointment in the waste of Armin's intelligence as he dies. He then decides to burn him as quickly as possible to put him out of his misery.[13]
Bertolt underwent a serious change in character at the Battle of Shiganshina. He became detached, indifferent and cold, allowing him to fulfill his savage duty more efficiently. Bertolt remained calm and composed, and did not feel sorry or bad when he told his former friends that he will kill them and all humans inside the Walls because he has decided to do so. He was not fazed by Armin's attempt at manipulating him by bringing up Annie, and told him to have her fed to the pigs for all he cared. He did not feel panic or dread when other Scouts where going to kill Reiner and he had to leave him to himself, and Reiner was rather helpless at this point. He noted how Armin is unable to do anything to him as long as he shakes in fear of his presence.
Bertolt came to accept his villainous self, and rationalized that none of it is his or anyone's fault, but that the world is cruel, and all of it was inevitable. When the blast of his transformation failed to kill all Scouts, he expressed his disappoitment at his former friends continued survival.
Despite his calmness fearlessness in the face of death and destruction, he was absolutely terrified of dying himself, as he begged his former friends to save him from the mindless Titan of Armin, then cried and screamed for Reiner and Annie, before being brutally devoured.
Bertolt was an Eldian born in the continent of Marley. At some point in his childhood, he joined the Marley military as a cadet warrior, where he met Reiner, Annie Leonhart and Marcel Galliard. He was praised for his shooting abilities and was selected to be a candidate to the inheritance of the Power of the Titans,[14] leading to him acquiring the power of the Colossus Titan.
He, along with Reiner and Annie, began a mission to attack the walled Eldians in the year 845.The main objective of the mission was to steal the power of the Founding Titan and bring it to the Marley government. At some point prior to attacking Wall Maria, he encountered Ymir's Titan while traveling with Reiner and Marcel. Still a mindless state, she attacked the three boys and nearly killed Reiner. Marcel ended up sacrificing his life to protect his friends, while Bertolt appears to have fled in terror and possibly abandoned the other two in the process.[15] As the remaining warriros reached the wall, they begin their operation.
Fall of Shiganshina arc
Bertolt transforms into his Colossus Titan form at Shiganshina District, terrorizing its population and kicking a hole in the district's gate. The attack leads to falling debris scattering across the town, crushing houses in the process. Immediately after his attack, Bertolt reverts to his human self, while Titans enter the city from outside the walls, resulting in the population being set on by them.[16]
After the Armored Titan breaches Wall Maria, Bertolt manages to enter alongside Reiner and Annie. During the abandonment of the Wall, Bertolt and the other two forge their family records[17] and masquerade as refugees from deep in the mountains south of Wall Maria, who learned of the attack at dawn as their village was under assault by Titans. [18]
104th Training Corps arc
Eventually, Bertolt enlists in the military academy as part of the 104th Training Corps, with aspirations of joining the Military Police Brigade and living in the safety of the inner Wall. As part of the 104th, he was considered to be one of the best in regards to vertical maneuvering equipment, enough so that Eren Yeager came to him for advice when he was dealing with faulty equipment.[19]
After seeing Eren's determination and desire to join the Survey Corps, he considered himself a coward for wanting to get far away from them. However, Eren encouraged him, saying that after witnessing the attack on his village, no one would blame him for his decision. Eventually, he graduated in the top ten of his class coming in at third place, just under his friend Reiner.
Battle of Trost District arc
Five years after his attack on Shiganshina District, Bertolt transforms into the Colossus Titan at the entrance of Trost District. He immediately repels the Military trainees on top of Wall Rose with vapor from his high-temperature body and then breaches the gate into the city. As he sets his eyes on the Wall's fixed artillery, the Colossus Titan swings his arm and destroys the Wall's defences. Surviving the assault, Eren launches himself at the Colossus Titan's neck and attempts to attacks his nape, leading to Bertolt dissolving his Titan's body and Eren missing his target. His attack prompts the Garrison to begin the Colossus Titan contingency plan for Trost District, and results in titans entering the city.
Bertolt escapes unnoticed under the cover of steam by using his Vertical maneuvering equipment.[20] Upon reentering Trost, Bertolt takes part in the attack against the Titans. When Armin Arlert, Mikasa Ackerman, and Connie Springer make it to the headquarters, with the help of Eren's Attack Titan, Armin devised a plan to get rid of the Titans in the supply room. Bertolt, part of the second group, came in from the ceiling and killed his target in one blow. The mission a success and everyone resupplied, he and the rest of the group leave the headquarters.[21]
On the way out, he joins Mikasa and others on a rooftop as they watch the Attack Titan being eaten by other Titans. Reiner suggests helping it out, but ultimately it ends up not being necessary as the Titan fights his way out upon seeing the Titan that ate Thomas. After the Titan kills it, the Titan collapses, and Bertolt witnesses Eren emerging from its nape.[21]
Soon after Eren transforms into the Attack Titan to seal the breach in Trost, Bertolt discusses the events with Reiner as their plan is foiled. Their conversation is overheard by Marco Bott, leading to Reiner immobilizing him while Annie removes his vertical maneuvering equipment. As the three abandon Marco, Bertolt looks on in shock as he is eaten by a Titan.[22]
The Female Titan arc
After the ordeal, Bertolt joins the Survey Corps with Mikasa, Reiner, Eren, Connie, Sasha, Krista, Armin, Ymir, Jean and a few others.[23] They all participate to the expedition beyond the Walls. At some point Ymir asks Bertolt about Krista's location but he does not know.[24]
Clash of the Titans arc

Please feel free to edit this section to make it conform to the Wiki norms and conventions.
Reason: Needs slimming, needs slight rewording to focus more on Bertolt.
In the aftermath of the failed mission to capture the Female Titan, Bertolt is among the recruits placed under observation at an old mansion and suspected of being a potential accomplice to Annie.[25] He is shown to have occupied his time playing chess with Reiner, and quickly becomes involved in the operation to investigate the Titans that appeared within Wall Rose. Reiner requests his assistance on the Southern squad headed for Connie Springer's village, which is later discovered to be deserted.[26]
That evening, the Southern squad meets up with Ymir and Krista's squad, and they decide to take refuge for the night in Utgard Castle.[27] At some point during the night, the castle comes under attack by Titans and the recruits are forced to defend the interior from the smaller Titans that have invaded.[28] After Reiner takes off on his own to investigate, Bertolt offers a strange observation of his friend's "bad habit" of risking himself for others. When a Titan manages to break through a stairwell door, he comes to Reiner's defense with a pitchfork and helps fight it off. The two reaffirm their promise to survive and return to their home together.[29]
After a second Titan manages to enter and injure Reiner, he helps Ymir toss it out a window.[30] Afterwards, he begins to behave in a withdrawn manner and responds to questions about how Reiner was in the past with a strange comment about how Reiner has changed and is no longer a "Warrior". However, he refuses to elaborate further on the subject.[31]
Eventually, their superiors are killed by the attacking Titans and the rookies are left defenseless. This drives Ymir to reveal herself to be a Titan, using her powers to protect the others. He, along with Reiner, are shocked to recognize her as the Titan that had killed their friend, Marcel, several years earlier.[32]
The group is eventually rescued by Hange Zoë's squad and evacuate to the Wall, with the intention of regrouping with their main forces. Injured and distressed over their ordeal, Reiner breaks down under the stress and confesses their identities to Eren while Bertolt watches in growing distress. When Eren tries to tell Reiner that he's just tired and making things up Bertolt agrees relieved, thinking Eren might not have believed what he said. This doesn't last, though, as an enraged Reiner tears off his bandage shortly after and visibly heals his hand. Bertolt, shocked by his actions, asks if they are going to reveal themselves then and now, but before they are able to transform the two of them are viciously attacked and almost killed by Mikasa.[33]
Critically wounded and terrified, Bertolt transforms into a partial Titan form and begins to attack the soldiers on the Wall while Reiner attempts to kidnap Eren. In the chaos, he manages to capture Ymir and a random soldier, swallowing them both whole.[34] Afterward, he counters an attack by Hange's squad through generating intense heat and steam, burning anyone that gets too close.[35] He remains in a skeleton-like state, burning profusely to prevent any attack against him.
Directly below, the Armored Titan is being overpowered and roared. In response, The Colossus Titan topples from the Wall and lands on top of a fighting Eren and Reiner, exploding upon impact.[36] The resulting explosion wounds most of the scouts and allows Reiner and Bertolt to successfully capture Eren and flee the scene. Bertolt emerges from his Titan form carrying Ymir and wearing the stolen equipment of a soldier he devoured.[37] Several hours later, he takes refuge with Reiner and their two captives in the Titan Forest. However, he is mostly silent during the following arguments and discussions, only speaking up when prompted by Ymir or Eren.
Bertolt responds to Reiner's strange behavior with great distress and is shown to have known about it long before anyone else. He is able to bring his friend back to reality by informing him that he is not a soldier, but rather that they are both "warriors".[38] Ymir guesses this to have been the cause of previous tensions between them that she had observed.
Eren later confronts him about his role in the death of Carla Yeager, demanding to know what he thought when he learned about the suffering he would cause. He responds with a vague comment about having felt sorry for him, horrifying Eren and leading him to scream at them both.[39] Eren expresses that they are murderers responsible for the genocide of innocent people. Upon hearing Reiner's remorseless answer, Eren vows that they both will die horrible, excruciating deaths. Bertolt remains silent at this point, as Ymir finds Eren's assurance stupid yet amusing, but she questions Reiner about the "ape-like Titan" and explains to the three boys her conclusions. As she is about to tell more to Eren about the ennemy's identity, Reiner offers her to side with them and protect Krista, to which Ymir agrees.[40]Though she agrees to work with them, Bertolt remains unconvinced and warns Reiner that she cannot be trusted. He brings up the death of their friend, who was devoured by Ymir, though Reiner reassures them that she can be trusted since her only consideration is Krista's safety. Bertolt worries he may be slipping into his delusions again, but is reminded that Krista has value to them since she is a member of the Reiss family and may be able to provide them with important clues. They discuss their mission to find the "Coordinate", which may or may not be Eren, and Bertolt expresses his eagerness to go home and never return to the human lands.[41] Reiner responds by teasing him, demanding that he confess his feelings to Annie once they make it home. Bertolt attempts to protest, but Reiner claims his tendency to stare at her gave him away.
The pair noticed a signal flare and realize the rescue team has already found them, and prepare to flee.[42] While Reiner subdues Eren, Bertolt confronts Ymir over the death of his friend. She states she has no memory of having done it, but apologizes to him and asks if he hates her. He admits he is not certain, but he can not hold her responsible since none of them wanted to devour humans. He asks how long she wandered as a mindless Titan and implies that he and Reiner may have also spent some time trapped in their Titan forms in the past.[43]
As the group flees, Ymir notices the signal flares and becomes agitated. She demands that they kidnap Krista, and attacks Bertolt when they refuse. They are forced to land in the trees, and she further physically intimidates and threatens Bertolt until they relent.[44] Once Ymir returns from kidnapping Krista, he straps an unconscious Eren to his back and both cling to the Armored Titan's back as he runs from the pursuing troops.[45]
Realizing how close the troops have already gotten, he shouts at Ymir about having delayed them so much. He demands to know what they've been doing all this for, and whether she intends to abandon Krista inside the Walls to save herself.[46] His words get through to Ymir and watches the exchange between the two women intently.
A short time later, Mikasa manages to get onto the Armored Titan's back and attacks Ymir before turning on Bertolt. To escape, he slips down onto the front of Reiner's neck and shouts for him to protect them. In response, Reiner cups his hands around his neck and encloses Bertolt and Eren safely against his neck.[47] Eren, now awake, begins to struggle and ignores all efforts to calm him down. The other members of the 104th Training Corps climb onto the Armored Titan's shoulders and begin to shout at Bertolt in his hiding place.
He initially attempts to ignore them, as Jean Kirstein and Connie Springer alternately attempt to coax him out and confront him over his betrayal. At last, he breaks into tears and yells at them that he never wanted to kill anyone. He confesses to having truly thought of the 104th as his friends, stating that their time together was very enjoyable. Even so, he refuses to surrender and return Eren, stating that "someone has to do it".[48]
Before he can elaborate any further, Hannes screams a warning to the group as Erwin Smith leads a horde of Titans directly towards them. This forces them to retreat for a time, while Reiner attempts to charge through the oncoming horde in his Titan form. It ultimately proves hopeless, and the Armored Titan is quickly overwhelmed by the large group and forced to begin using his hands to fight.[49] No longer protected by his partner, Bertolt is forced to defend himself when the soldiers return in force and attack him. Beginning to panic, he shouts to Reiner that they have to bring Eren back to their home.
He narrowly escapes another attack by Mikasa,[50] and is confronted by Armin, who reveals that Annie has been captured. Taunting Bertolt, he asks if they intend to abandon their comrade and claims that Annie is currently being tortured by the military for information, with great care being taken to ensure she does not die. This drives Bertolt into a rage and distracts him long enough for a wounded Erwin to launch a surprise attack and free Eren.[51] Wounded, Bertolt can only watch in shock as the soldiers begin their retreat.
He remains perched on the Armored Titan's shoulder as it begins to hurl Titans at the fleeing soldiers, slowly healing his injuries. When Eren's power as the Coordinate activates, he senses it and reacts with shock.[52] The partners begin to pursue Eren once freed from the Titan horde attacking them, but this freedom is short-lived. Taking advantage of his new-found power, Eren screams at them to stay away and threatens to kill them. Both react with shock and horror, sensing Eren's power and realizing that it has directed the horde at them once again. Reiner initially attempts to protect him from attackers, but they are quickly overwhelmed and he is forced to fight on his own.[53]
His screams draw Ymir's attention, causing her to hesitate in fleeing with the soldiers. Just as a Titan is about to kill him, Ymir appears and rescues him. The three Titans begin to fight together, while the human soldiers retreat back to the Walls.
The group, exhausted from their two-day ordeal, rest atop Wall Maria while attempting to make sense of things. He questions Ymir about her decision to save his life, and is shocked that her actions were motivated by gratitude for having been saved from her "eternal nightmare". Knowing that she faces an uncertain future when they return with her to their hometown, Bertolt struggles to hold back his tears while thanking her.[54]
Eren later expresses the desire to catch him and make him pay for his crimes, suggesting that he believes they survived.[55]
The Uprising arc
Two months after Historia Reiss was crowned queen, Bertolt and Reiner encounter the Beast Titan in Shiganshina. After witnessing Reiner's defeat at the Beast Titan's hands, Bertolt quickly pulled Reiner from his battered Titan form as the Beast Titan declared that the rescue of Annie Leonhart could wait until after they had acquired the Coordinate from Eren.[56]
Return to Shiganshina arc
Around the time the Survey Corps departs for their operation to retake Wall Maria, Bertolt and Reiner sit atop the Wall amongst a small camp site they made. The two watch the sunset as they await the arrival of their enemies and prepare to begin their own operation.[57]
When the Survey Corps makes it to Shiganshina District, they begin rushing the gate with 100 soldiers to confuse the enemy. As Eren flies up above the breach in Wall Maria's southern gate, he prepares to transform. Just as this is happening, Reiner and Bertolt watch the corps from an unknown location, equipped with their vertical maneuvering equipment.[58] After a few moments, he sneaked out and hide in a prepared barrel. Later, after Eren battles Reiner, Bertolt has a flashback about Marco's death, showing that Annie, Reiner and himself were all involved. Soon after, Reiner lets out a roar, signaling Bertolt to be thrown in a barrel towards Reiner's position by Zeke.
After seeing the near-dead Reiner, Bertolt abandons the original plan of transforming over the district and jumps out of the barrel. He rushes towards his friend, checking if he is alive, telling him to respond if he is still alive. He then heads towards Hange's squad.[59] When Hange orders everyone to attack Bertolt and Reiner, Armin convinces them to use this opportunity for one last negotiation with them. Bertolt is undeterred by Armin's attempt to use Annie to mislead him, saying she can not be used as leverage against him again. While Bertolt speaks with Armin, Mikasa swiftly appears behind Bertolt, trying to strike him down, but to no avail.[60] After fleeing the scene, he finalizes his resolve and maneuvers higher into the sky, transforming into the Colossus Titan and causing massive destruction to everything and everyone near to the blast.[61]
As the Colossus Titan, he begins to toss flaming houses and buildings around the district, setting nearly the entire city ablaze. He then heads north towards Commander Erwin's position but is intercepted by Eren and the 104th recruits. Eren charges at Bertolt's leg, attempting to stop him in his tracks. With little effort, Bertolt lifts the leg with Eren's Titan dangling from it before sending Eren crashing into the top of Wall Maria with a swift kick.[62] The group charge at him to create a diversion for Mikasa to launch the Thunder Spear at his nape. He emits a searing hot gas which forces Mikasa to retreat and injures Connie in the process. After the group has sought temporary safety, he continues to destroy the district.[63]As Reiner recovers and begins to fight the Levi Squad, Bertolt notes that he was hoping to kill everyone with his transformation, but calmly shrugs it off, saying he is used to such trials.[64] He approaches Eren and Armin, who is trying to wake up the latter, wondering what Armin will do. Seconds later, Eren loses his balance and falls to the ground, motionless. Bertolt, thinking Eren is already beaten, decides to blow Armin away, and unleashes a burst of steam from his body.[65] However, much to his surprise, Armin latches onto his teeth and refuses to let go. He questions what Armin could possibly hope to achieve with Eren already beaten, but decides to finish him quickly and launches one final burst, charring Armin's skin and burning his hair off, sending him falling lifelessly to the rooftops below.[66]
After observing Armin's burnt body, Bertolt moves over to Eren's Titan body, only to find it a hardened shell. He then realizes too late that Armin was buying Eren time to get out of his Titan form and used Bertolt's attack as a smokescreen. At that moment, a human Eren appears from behind, latching onto the Colossus Titan's nape and slicing it open, severing Bertolt's arms and legs, before ripping him out and dragging him down to the roof below where a ravaged yet alive Armin is lying.[67]
After being defeated and dragged out of his Colossus Titan, Bertolt is approached by Zeke and his Titan mount. Anticipating capture, Eren begins to slit Bertolt's throat, but Zeke tells Bertolt that he can not save him this time. When Levi pursues Zeke, Eren urges him to give Armin the Titan serum so that Bertolt can be fed to Armin to turn him into a Titan and save him from death. However, another soldier arrives with Erwin Smith, unconscious but also alive. The soldiers debate who should be given the Titan serum between Erwin or Armin, as Bertolt lies unconscious and at their mercy.[68]
After a fair bit of debating, Levi is left with the decision and finally decides on who to give the serum to. Bertolt awakes to find himself at the complete mercy of the feral Titan of Armin Arlert. He screams, begging his former allies to save him as they watch, tears in their eyes. Bertolt cries out for Annie and Reiner before he is eaten alive by Armin.[69] Armin has a nightmare about Bertolt before he wakes up. He dreams that the Colossus Titan is crying. He is told by Eren that he ate Bertolt in order to stay alive, to which Armin is mortified to learn.[70]
|Highly proficient in various hand-to-hand combat styles and has great potential. But lacks in self-confidence and tends to leave it to others when it comes to showing assertiveness.
|— Instructor Keith Shadis regarding Bertolt's training
Bertolt graduated in 3rd position among the trainees and was noted as the best user of the vertical maneuvering equipment among them. He managed to kill a small Titan without the use of the vertical maneuvering equipment. Due to his high-level position, he is also likely to possess other military and combat skills. Furthermore, he had outstanding marksmanship skills when he was a child training among the warriors. Bertolt was also able to defend against and even temporarily overpower Mikasa Ackerman in combat, despite her attacking from behind.
Bertolt Hoover's Statistics [71]:
Power of the Titans
Bertolt was able to transform into a 60 meter Titan referred to as the Colossus Titan (超大型巨人 Chō ōgata Kyojin?) and was the second largest Titan shown in the series so far. In this form, Bertolt was able to look over the Walls. He was also able to retain his intelligence when he transformed as shown when he targets the network of cannons that line the top part of Wall Rose first as a means to quickly cripple the Wall's defense. The Colossus Titan form, due to its large size, is incredibly slow which made it easy for anyone with the vertical maneuvering equipment to move around him. Like Eren, Bertolt was able to induce partial transformation, as he was able to manifest the upper portion of his Titan form on top of Wall Rose to fight against the Survey Corps and not the entire being, but it is unknown if this was made at will or it was just a mistake.[72] His form was also noteworthy for being able to form and dissolve almost instantly, as opposed to most Titans. During the attack on Wall Rose, he was able to dissolve his Titan form literally within seconds, vanishing before Eren could react.[73] This may be related to his ability to generate incredible heat, as he generated a massive cloud of steam before vanishing. Of all currently known Titans, his transformation had the greatest potential amount of overall collateral damage, enough to cause a flash of unbearably bright light, destroying a large portion of the ground and residential housing areas in the process, and finally creating a giant mushroom cloud-sized explosion to cap it all off. The bright light also throws away all of those in the nearby vicinity far away, forcing them to seek cover from the blast and finally, steam comes off after the transformation is completed. He was only shown explosively transforming once out of his three known transformations.
- Regeneration: Bertolt, like all other Titans, had the power to automatically regenerate any wounds sustained and even entire parts of his body that were lost. This power also extended to his human form, as shown in the fight against Mikasa on top of Wall Rose with Bertolt losing part of his arm and suffering a critical slash to his neck. Later on, in the Titan Forest, Bertolt was seen with his arm regenerated, and his neck fully healed. He also received a deep cut in the chest at hands of Erwin Smith, but he regenerated anyway.
- Enhanced Strength: The Colossus Titan was physically the strongest Titan shown so far in the series due to its immense size and along with the Armored Titan, they are the only ones who were capable of damaging and tearing down the gates of Walls. With a single strike of his Titan foot, Bertolt was able to breach the south gate of Wall Maria easily, damaging nearby buildings in the Shiganshina District. A sweeping motion with one of his arms was enough to destroy all the cannons on top of Wall Maria as well as damage the upper portion of the Wall. Bertolt's strikes had enough force to similarly damage the upper portion of Wall Rose and create a shock wave able to push back people, wounding them in the process. He was able to stop Eren's Titan form by simply jumping off a Wall and not even in his complete form.[74] This strike was strong enough to also leave an enormous crater in the ground.[75]
- Steam Generation / Heat Channeling: Since Bertolt's Titan form is far too slow to catch more agile opponents with the vertical maneuvering equipment, he possesses a powerful defense mechanism that involves him releasing large amounts of extremely hot and pressurized steam from his body. The steam has enough force to deflect any cables shot from the vertical equipment and burn away or repel close-range fighters. It was shown that Bertolt could sustain the effort of producing large quantities of steam for a timed/limited duration, as seen in the fight on the top of Wall Rose.[76] Although all Titans possess very precise internal temperature control, Bertolt's took this to a new level. Despite the Colossus Titan's high temperature, Bertolt did not sustain heat damage inside his Titan, and aside from the aforementioned steam generation, he was capable of channeling massive amounts of heat into very fine points and weaponizing it. The super-heated air released from its head area was enough to sear the flesh from Armin Arlert's muscles within moments and fuse his vertical equipment straps to his legs.[75]
- Explosive Transformation: Although all Titans generate enormous amounts of heat and energy when transforming, Bertolt takes this to the next level. He can control the energy produced during his transformation to create various effects. For instance, when he attacked Trost, his transformation only caused a wind blast who knocked some trainees over the Wall.[77] However, during the retake of Shiganshina, Bertolt releases a similar amount of energy to a small nuclear device, creating a mushroom cloud of dust and rubble, and also ravaging part of the district and killing a great number of Survey Corps members.[78]
- Instant Form Dissipation: Although all holders of the power of the Titans produce their enormous Titans in moments, and Bertolt is no exception, he is the only one shown able to disappear entirely in moments. It is unknown exactly how he does this, but it is a fast enough process to avoid attacks by Eren Yeager, who had latched onto his Titan's nape and struck thin air when the body vanished in less than 10 seconds.[79]
Colossus Titan's Statistics [80]:
- Reiner Braun - Reiner was his childhood friend, and partner in their mission against humanity. The two were rarely apart, and Bertolt almost always followed along with whatever Reiner decided. However, he was shown to be greatly bothered by Reiner's growing attachment to the others and mental problems.[81] Even so, he rarely spoke up or took any action to oppose Reiner. As he was being eaten by Armin in his mindless Titan form, he screamed out for Reiner and Annie to help him.[82]
- Annie Leonhart - Like Reiner, Annie was a childhood friend of Bertolt's. Reiner suggested that Bertolt had a crush on her, noting his tendency to always stare at her. In response he blushed and offered a weak protest. Reiner said that once their mission was complete, Bertolt would have to tell Annie how he felt about her.[83] When Armin claimed that she was being tortured by the military, he went into a rage and declared that he would kill everyone.[9] As he was being eaten by Armin in his mindless Titan form, he screamed out for Reiner and Annie to help him.[82]
- Marcel Galliard - Reiner and Bertolt's childhood friend, Marcel sacrificed himself to save Reiner and was eaten by Ymir at the start of their mission. Upon remembering his sacrifice, they both vowed to complete their mission and return to their hometown.[84]
- Ymir - He was initially distrustful of her, warning Reiner that she once killed their friend and was dangerous. His fear of her continued to be a major aspect of their shaky alliance, though he seemed to have changed his opinion after she saved his life.[85] Afterwards, he expressed his gratitude to her and was visibly distressed by her willingness to further risk her life by returning to their hometown.
- Eren Yeager - Though friendly, the two were not particularly close in comparison to Eren and Reiner's friendship. Bertolt expressed admiration for Eren's courage and the strength of his conviction to fight even after experiencing the horror of a Titan attack. After graduation, Bertolt appeared above Trost District and breached the gate, and he and Eren briefly fought before Bertolt disappeared completely. After his identity was revealed, he behaved hollowly towards Eren while the other became hostile towards him, calling him a "lackey". Eren questioned what Bertolt thought of his mother's death, as he was directly responsible, and Bertolt said he felt sorry for him.[86] This enraged Eren, and he later vowed to see them both die in the most painful way possible.[87] Eren eventually made good on this vow, personally ripping Bertolt out of the Colossus Titan and leaving him to be eaten by the pure titan of Armin Arlert. Despite this, however, Eren ultimately did not revel in Bertolt's death; rather, he silently cried with a stunned expression on his face as he watched him being eaten.
- Armin Arlert - Little interaction between the two had been shown, though his relationship chart in the official guidebook shows that Bertolt considered Armin a close friend. This, of course, sours once Bertolt's true identity was revealed and he threatened to kill Armin when the latter lied and claimed that Annie was being tortured. [9] He is hostile toward Armin when they face off in Shiganshina, once again coldly expressing his desire to kill him and all of his friends. He nearly makes good on this threat not too long after, as he severely burns Armin with a powerful steam discharge while in his Titan form. Later when Armin got injected the Titan serum and his friends returned to the Shiganshina District, Bertolt's final moments were daunting, having been devoured by Armin in his mindless Titan form.[88]
- Jean Kirstein and Connie Springer - Both alternately attempted to appeal to their friendship and confront him during the mission to rescue Eren.[89] They mentioned several fond memories from their time as trainees, and Bertolt was visibly distraught by their words. When he finally broke down, Bertolt stated he genuinely thought of them both as his friends.[90]

Steve Blake traded to Golden State for Brooks, Bazemore
LakerNation.com: The Los Angeles Lakers have acquired guards Kent Bazemore and MarShon Brooks from the Golden State Warriors in exchange for point guard Steve Blake, it was announced Wednesday by General Manager Mitch Kupchak.
After spending the past 3+ years in Los Angeles, Blake was understandably disappointed in leaving the Lakers.
"I've loved my time. I've loved playing for coach D'Antoni," Blake said to ESPNLA.com's Dave McMenamin. "The freedom he gave me as a player … I'm totally grateful."
Blake also shared the harsh reality of the effects an NBA trade can have.
"The hardest thing is really for my family, really," Blake said. "I got a wife, three little kids and now I'm going to have to spend four months, probably, away from them and so that's going to be the hardest part."
When asked if Blake would consider returning to the Lakers this summer as an unrestricted free agent, he had this to say:
"Absolutely," Blake said. "I've loved my time here. When you spend (time) in some place this long, you start to get comfortable. We loved where we lived, loved the schools my kids were in and always loved the support of the fans and ownership and everybody. So, it's one of the best places I've ever played at and if in the future they wanted me back, I would absolutely, definitely consider it."
Blake had been averaging 9.5 PPG, 7.6 APG and 3.8 RPG this season for the Lakers–all of which were career highs.
New Lakers -
MarShon Brooks, 25, is a 6'5″ shooting guard with excellent scoring abilities. The third-year guard has averaged 7.8 PPG, 1.4 APG and 2.2 RPG while playing in Brooklyn, Boston and Golden State. Brooks, however, is only averaging 2.6 PPG this season in 5.2 MPG.
Kent Bazemore, 24, is also a 6'5″ shooting guard with tremendous athleticism and great length on the defensive end. The second-year guard has averaged 2.1 PPG, 0.4 APG and 0.6 RPG in the NBA, while also spending multiple stints in the D-League.
Neither Brooks nor Bazemore are under contract past this season. The move does, however, save the Lakers about $4 million in salary and luxury taxes. No draft picks were exchanged in the deal.

Wednesday, June 18, 2014 Richmond City Stadium
Richmond Kickers Richmond 2 (Davis 24', Delicâte 74')
New England Revolution New England 3(McCarthy 9', 35', 39')
RICHMOND, VA – The Richmond Kickers fell to the New England Revolution on Wednesday night, by a score of 3-2. The game knocked the Kickers out of the U.S. Open Cup, and ended an unbeaten streak of 15 across all competitions.
New England began the game with a couple of long spells of possession, before getting on the board in the ninth minute. New England midfielder Steve Neumann sent an inswinging corner into the box, that was met by the head of defender Stephen McCarthy soaring above the defense. McCarthy's header was aimed low and with pace before skipping under Richmond keeper Joe Willis.
New England nearly had their second in the 14th minute after Forward Diego Fagundez was sprung down the right wing on a quick free kick. Fagundez charged to the bi-line before sending a dangerous, low cross through the six-yard box, that missed everyone.
Richmond began to settle into the game, with their first chance coming in the 19th minute. Richmond defender Luke Vercollone's free kick, from near midfield, nearly found the head of Hugh Roberts, but New England keeper Brad Knighton gloved the ball before any damage could be done.
The Kickers had their equalizer in the 24th minute. Defender Henry Kalungi sent in a deep cross from the right wing. Kalungi's cross found Jason Yeisley at the back post, who managed to nod the ball back just outside the six-yard box. George Davis IV won the footrace to the ball, and slotted the ball home in the right side netting.
New England almost answered three minutes later, on a free kick from Chris Tierney. Tierney's curling effort went over the wall and rang the crossbar before going behind for a goal kick.
New England had their second after a through ball from Fagundez found Patrick Mullins on the right of the six-yard box. Mullins danced around a sliding challenge from Richmond defender William Yomby, and squared a ball up to Neumann whose shot beat Joe Willis to the left post.
New England would increase their lead in the 39th minute on a long ball from Knighton. Yomby misplayed the ball in an attempt to head the ball back to Willis, and Neumann took advantage by tiptoeing around the keeper and passing the ball into the net.
New England almost had their fourth, on a quick free kick from Lee Nguyen. Nguyen's ball found Chris Tierney racing down the left wing. Tierney sent in a low cross that found the foot of a sliding Mullins. Mullins shot was aimed directly at Willis, but the rebound ping-ponged back off Mullins before Willis finally recovered.
Richmond enjoyed much of the possession in the early second half and had their first chance in the 62nd minute. Richmond substitute Shay Spitz whipped a cross into the box on a short corner. Spitz's cross was dangerous and bounced before it could be cleared to Asante. Asante's subsequent ball found the head of Mathew Delicâte who just missed wide right.
In the 66th minute, Richmond defender Sascha Görres swung in a cross, which brought a diving Knighton off his line. The keeper missed the cross, and the ball skidded past Delicâte before he could get his foot on it.
Richmond would add their second on the 100th goal of Delicâte's career. Davis IV found a skying Delicâte who blasted the ball past Knighton with his head.
Richmond would try to equalize five minutes later when Kalungi's header on a ball from substitute Christiano Francois, would be knocked off the crossbar and out of play.
Richmond's best chance to equalize came in the 80th minute. Görres' outswinging ball found Delicâte at the back post, and his right-footed effort dipped over the bar.
Richmond's final chance to equalize came on a Spitz cross into the box. Spitz's ball was punched away by Knighton who collided with Delicâte leaving the goal open. Asante's shot from 25 yards away was inches over the crossbar.
The Richmond Kickers return to regular season action this Sunday, June 22 when they travel to the Pittsburgh Riverhounds. Kickoff is slated for 3:00 p.m., live from Highmark Stadium on YouTube.com/RichmondKickers.

Discrimination against migrants
The Durban Declaration pointed out that xenophobia against non-nationals, and in particular, migrants, constitutes one of the main sources of contemporary racism. Migrants are often discriminated against in housing, education, health, work or social security. According to the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs, around 200 million people live outside their country of origin, which will amount to 3.1% of the world population in 2010.
Migrants arriving irregularly in a new country and victims of trafficking stopped by the police are often detained in administrative centers or in prisons. Overcrowded immigration detention centers often have poor access to healthcare, inadequate food, sanitation or safe drinking water and a lack of separate sanitation facilities for men and women. Equally, there is an increasing tendency to criminalize migration offenses, which has, in some cases, resulted in violations of migrants' rights.
Today, one of the key obstacles hindering migrants' integration and equal access to human rights in host societies is persistent anti-migrant sentiments and discriminatory practices. Such sentiments and practices are often reinforced by legislation, regulations and policies to restrict migratory flows, as evidenced by the increasing tendency to criminalize irregular migration. The global economic crisis and rising unemployment have further aggravated these trends. Addressing negative perceptions of migrants within host communities is therefore a key element of promoting their integration and enhancing their contribution to development.

The AARTO driver demerit system will apparently be rolled out in South Africa on April 1st 2012 despite huge questions surrounding it's implementation.
If you didn't know..the driver demerit system is basically a points based fine system where all drivers will start off with zero points. Various traffic offences have a corresponding points value and once your points reach 12 your licence will be suspended for 3 months. Every point over 12 will get you a further 3 month suspension. So if you rack up 15 points your can say goodbye to driving for 9 months.
Driving without a proper licence will cost you 4 points while an unlicenced or unregistered vehicle will set you back 3 points. Exceeding the speed limit will get a single point added. Have no number plates on the front or back of the vehicle will cost you 6 points…sorry for all those rich okes with fancy cars and no front plates hey. You can check all the points values of offences HERE.
The controversial traffic system is facing reports that there has been insufficient training of traffic officers and that 60% of home addresses of motorists are incorrect. So your fine and demerits may be delivered to the incorrect address without you knowing. This along with the fact that companies may lose millions monitoring their drivers has been brought up in two pilot studies.
"The report was commissioned by the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC), which is responsible for the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (Aarto) Act and the national Transport Department.
A member of the National Aarto Task Team has thrown his weight behind concerns for the roll-out of the plan.
Despite this, the national Transport Department is adamant the system will be rolled out countrywide from April 1." [Cape Times]
What do you think?

Baked Apples
Baked Apples is a dish that is popular in many countries. In Finland, Baked Apples are a traditional dish served especially during late summer. In Finland they prefer to use Finish apples for the dish and in this case the apples are not peeled. The core of the apple is removed and the inside is filled with a mixture of white and brown sugar, or sometimes with white sugar, treacle and cinnamon. Sometimes rolled oats or some other fruits puree can be added to the filling. A piece of butter is placed on top of the apples, then they are baked till they get soft. Baked Apples are always served hot with some vanilla sauce or vanilla ice cream, or some chilled custard.

We keep hearing about the new Toyota RAV4 EV and are somewhat interested, but our dealer says he doesn't think he'll be getting any for at least three or four years. Does that sound right to you?
The highly anticipated, all-electric crossover SUV with a promised driving range of 100 miles will be offered in extremely limited release this fall. According to all the literature from Toyota, they will produce only 2,600 units during the first three years the vehicle is on the market, and limiting sales to only San Francisco, Sacramento, Los Angeles and San Diego.
No word yet on when the $50,000 vehicle, a collaboration between Toyota and Tesla Motors, will up production and spread availability of the stylish vehicle, which was introduced at the Electric Vehicle Symposium in Los Angeles in May.
Reader Weigh-In:
I recently responded to a question about whether cruise control is safe in heavy traffic. I recommend against engaging it in heavy traffic as a general rule, since it can lead to goofy driving behavior when people avoid tapping on the brake and reactivating the cruise speed.
A reader named Thom asked me to point out that cruise control is one thing, but there's something else called "adaptive cruise control."
"I own a 2011 Dodge Durango with Adaptive Cruise Control," he wrote in an email. "And I have used it in all kinds of traffic."
For those who have not encountered adaptive cruise control, it's similar to regular cruise control in that it provides foot-off-the-pedal driving, but it also acts like a radar that detects the speed and distance of the vehicle ahead so drivers can respond accordingly. Its sensors take note of traffic patterns and reacts to them.
At this time, adaptive cruise control isn't exactly commonplace. In addition to the aforementioned vehicle, other carmakers that offer it (on certain models) are Audi, Mercedes and Ford.
What's your question? Sharon Peters would like to hear about what's on your mind when it comes to caring for, driving and repairing your vehicle. Email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Fallen Brethren 3-Gun Challenge
Team Hornady® Shows Its Strength at Fallen Brethren 3-Gun Challenge
Team Hornady® members traveled to the Spartan Tactical Range Complex in Jacksboro, Texas, October 5-7, 2012 for the second annual Fallen Brethren 3-Gun Challenge. The three-day event encompassed 1,200 acres of the range and introduced competitors to four new locations. Set amongst cactus, pan and live oak trees, the up and down relief of the terrain gave 230 competitors from 26 states a good mix of physical movement throughout the ten stages of the 3-Gun Nation point series.
The cold front that moved in the first night of the competition — had no affect on Barry Dueck's (shown above) strong performance — winning first place in the Heavy Tactical Optics division shooting Hornady® 308 Win 178 grain BTHP Match™ ammo in his rifle and Hornady® 9mm 147 grain XTP® ammo in his pistol. Dueck said, "The uniformity of the new 178 BTHP Match ammo can't be beat and the performance of Hornady XTP ammo gives me the accuracy I demand as a competitive shooter."
Kelly Neal
Adam Popplewell
Kelly Neal finished second in the Tac-Irons division, winning two of the ten stages shooting Hornady® 55 grain V-MAX™ in his rifle and Hornady® 9mm Steel Match® in his pistol. Commenting on his ammo choice, Neal said, "Hornady V-MAX is very accurate, flat shooting and has a consistent muzzle velocity - perfect for target presentations out to 350 yards." He added, "I need an accurate bullet that will consistently engage steel plate racks from 25 to 100 yards. Using Hornady 9mm Steel Match with 125 HAP bullets, if I break a good shot, it equals a hit and I can quickly move on to the next target."
Adam Popplewell finished fifth in the Tactical Optics division shooting Hornady® 223 Rem 75 grain Steel Match® in his rifle, and Hornady® 9mm 124 grain TAP® in his pistol. Popplewell said, "The ammo performed exactly as I expected, allowing me to concentrate on my shooting."
Travis Gibson placed seventh in the Tac-Optics division shooting Hornady® 55 grain and 75 grain Steel Match® in his rifle and Hornady® 180 grain Steel Match® in his 40 S&W pistol. Commenting what drew him to the team, Gibson said, "Hornady Manufacturing consistently lends its support to all shooting disciplines. As a competitor, I recognize that support is key in growing the shooting sports for everyone to experience."
Rob Romero placed eighth in the Tac-Optics division, shooting Hornady® 223 Rem 60 grain V-Max™ in his rifle and Hornady 9mm 124 RN FMJ bullets in his pistol. Romero noted "V-MAX delivers outstanding accuracy, flat trajectory and has the power to knock down heavy steel targets."
Match Director and owner of the Spartan Tactical Range Complex, Jim Smith said, "As a disabled veteran myself, this Match is dear to my heart. We purposely left ten percent of the Match open for active members at no cost, donating $4,000-6,000 dollars to the Unit Scholarship Fund. I designed a course of fire combining long and short rifle presentations that would challenge the experienced competitor without discouraging an intermediate shooter."

Sydney - Australian and Sri Lankan players paid their respects to Tony Greig in a moving farewell to the former England captain before the start of play in the third Test on Thursday.
A minute's silence was observed by players wearing black armbands and fans in honour of Greig, who died at the weekend aged 66 from a heart attack while battling lung cancer.
A trademark Greig sunhat was placed symbolically on the stumps at the Sydney Cricket Ground before being taken away by his sons, Mark and Tom.
The sons embraced and headed from the ground before the start of play.
Greig's family and the Channel 9 commentary team were invited by opposing captains Michael Clarke and Mahela Jayawardene to join the players and officials on the playing arena before the match started.
His wife Vivian was overcome by the cricket community's response.
"I just wish he could have seen it," she said. "I'm so grateful, truly grateful.
"For Channel 9 and Cricket Australia to organise this tribute to him is truly touching."
Greig worked for Australia's Nine Network for decades and his long-time colleagues Richie Benaud, Bill Lawry and Ian Chappell were among the television contingent standing alongside the Australia team at the pre-match tribute.
Broadcasting doyen Benaud said it was a sad day but "we will get on with it as he would have wished. And at the end of the day we will raise a glass to our gifted colleague and friend forever."
"He was so strong in every way, a man I always liked to have on my side," he said.
Organisers had urged fans to wear Greig-style wide-brimmed hats, and thousands responded under sunny skies.
Australian captain Clarke also wore a neckerchief, in Greig style, as a personal tribute, as he led the Australians onto the field.
"He was an inspiration to cricket," Clarke said.
"The game owes Greigy a hell of a lot. If not for the great Kerry Packer and Tony Greig, the game wouldn't be where it is today."
South African-born Greig, a swashbuckling middle-order batsman and medium-fast bowler who had recently been diagnosed with cancer, died shortly after suffering a cardiac arrest at his Sydney home.
He was instrumental in the formation of late Australian media tycoon Kerry Packer's breakaway World Series Cricket contest staged from 1977-79, which left a lasting legacy on the game, including improved financial rewards for players.
Greig played 58 Tests for his adopted country England between 1972 and 1977, scoring 3,599 runs with eight centuries at 40.43 and capturing 141 wickets at 32.20.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Flyers Continue To Struggle
by Paul on 11/08/13 at 09:55 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Bob Ford of the Philadelphia Inquirer,
Paul Holmgren took his seat in the upper reaches of the Wells Fargo Center on Thursday night and once again, just like you, he waited for the madness to end.
The Flyers came into the game against the New Jersey Devils having scored the fewest goals in the league, and exited it the same way. It is a team-wide slump that cost coach Peter Laviolette his job after just three games. It is a continuing problem that has nailed them to the bottom of an eight-team division that might advance only three teams to the playoffs. The season is still young, of course, but aging quickly.
"It doesn't make sense to me. We're all scratching our heads. I don't know what to call it, but we need to get out of it," the Flyers general manager said before the 3-0 loss. "It doesn't make sense with the people we have who have scored in the past, and not just one-hit wonders, but guys who have done it consistently. Right now, as a group, we're struggling."

Reclusive Runemaster
Locate Dregmar Runebrand near his cave on the path to the cliffs overlooking the Mirror of the Dawn. Challenge him and uncover the name of the magnataur leader by any means necessary. Return to Aurastrasza at Wyrmrest Temple once the information is obtained.
- Name of the Magnataur Warlord
Dregmar Runebrand is a magnataur runemaster... a rare breed. He's generally solitary, but has been known to associate with the more powerful and influential magnataur in Dragonblight for quite some time. He will know who this new leader is.
It is unlikely we will gain any aid with the increasing concerns with the Scourge and the blue flight, so I need you to procure the information from Dregmar by any means necessary.
I was told he can be found amongst the cliffs overlooking the Mirror of the Dawn.

Dracena is a promising Gothenburg band composed mostly of women that plays old-school death metal with some slight black metal touches. This demo has a good production, and has three of the most enjoyable songs I have heard in a while. The vocalist, Mia, has a very obscure and tetric voice that fits perfectly with the music. The songs are very different from each other, which is very good. The drumming is quite good as well. Let's talk a little about the songs. Demonic Women has an old-school death metal sound. It's an obscure and malign song. In the Shadow of the Dragon has a bit of a folkloric rhythm along the song. The slow parts of the songs are great. This song makes you think of medieval times and dragons, such a great atmosphere this song creates! I wish I had the lyrics for this song. Last, Hounds of Hell is the heaviest song of the demo (and my favorite) with some good and fast guitar riffs, and a diabolic melody.
I know that many people around the world are waiting for Dracena to release an album soon, and I am one of them. This is good and original material, and I like it very much.
