Eren is a smarty dumb pants who convinces himself that this was all for freedom

I finally finished the Anime last night, and my initial response was "Okay, so we're just excusing Eren as a force of history, rather than someone with agency?" It felt problematic. This video has helped me reframe the ending.

I’m pretty sure eldians would have all been killed if he hadn’t activated the rumbling

Eren was the number 5 cadet he could have joined the miltary police if he wanted. He had unrivaled determination and courage and will power and the transformed him into something special good video besides that

I LOVE THIS VIDEO, thanks for putting alot of effort in to it

Really good Video, even though Eren himself said that he may still would've done The Rumbling even if he didn't know it would happen so maybe his are just an Metaphor for his Nature that he can't escape what do you think about this?

Don't you get it??? Its been said, that pursueing of freedom is somehow attack titan's ability, but! As we know, Eren, the last attack titan combined with coordinate abilities could alter all the previous attack titan users and show them WHAEVET HE WANTED. And it's because of Eren, that all those attack titans from the past were doing all just like Eren wanted, to get to the point as he is right now going rumble. :D

I remember watching the conversation with Armin and Eren, and when he broke down and started crying I felt so relieved that he was actually in there the entire time. Seeing people arguing it was character assassination had clearly not been paying attention. The boy had been a big cry baby since the beginning. Always crying and screaming. This was Eren and I was so happy to see him be honest with Armin who knew him best of all.

i agree with most of what you said. but the rumbling was the only option. where the whole world gets whipped out.

Why did it show eren thinking about his mom dying when he marched on marley? Not sure if video covered that, maybe i missed it

People who thing Gabi is like Eren, Can you please tell me why you think so?

Gabi is a child, treat her like one. Sasha killed her friends and raided her city. See her pov too

Hate her hate her hate her

Idk care about her after she kill sasha

Gabis design is based on a female Eren design that Isayama made so🤷🏼‍♀️

But still i hate her

The only thing different was one still had a family at the end of the series. Gabi deserved to get beaten more bc she could of stoped the rumbling and fumbled it

As a huge JRPG fan, I kept on expecting the story to turn around, I kept expecting the rug to be pulled out from under us with Eren's memories of the past and to pull a Xenoblade 1 with a "the future isn't written" bit. As season 4 went on I kept on hoping that something would happen to allow the happily ever after endings common in JRPGs, and I held onto that right up until Eren rose from the Colossal Titan nuke crater as another Colossal Titan. When Eren kept on fighting, even after the Rumbling was stopped, I knew that all possibilities for a happy ending were gone and Eren had to die (still didn't make the scene where he did any easier, lol). This video kind of sums up why I love the show, I love how Eren followed the typical JRPG protag progression up until season 4 where all of that character progression gets destroyed. I initially disliked this, but when I reexamine the show, I can't even say it doesn't make sense; the show had set it up that way from the beginning. So, thank you for the video, I'm super excited for anything Isayama may do in the future.

That's why I don't hate Gabi like others do. People who do hate her just don't want to see her pov

Well, it's because they're (maley) the one who started it all isn't it

No eren understood others and marley

Even tho, I still hate her for what she did to Sasha

My little brother asked me was Eren wrong? And honestly I had to tell him, if it came to choosing him or our family over humanity, I would most certainly step on at least 80% of humanity but maybe I’m wrong.

This is my personal interpretation but to me I believe the reason Eren has a drive for freedom is because he himself set up his life to be that way through memories of the past. Just like he told his father to kill the royal family, Eren manipulated events to lead to the rumbling. This is why the attack titan before Eren’s father told him to protect Armin and Mikasa even though they were yet to be born. This would also explain why he let the titan of Dina Fritz eat his mother instead of the colossal titan. He also showed his younger self what freedom looks like through manipulating memories and made younger Eren believe it was just a dream. These crucial moments in Erens life is what makes him motivated to gain freedom but it is himself that caused this. This paradox is why he says that he is a slave to freedom. He is not born with this sense of freedom although he WAS born into the situation that makes him a perfect vessel for the Attack Titan and perhaps had some personality traits that caused him to be the perfect vessel for the Attack Titan. Again, this is just my opinion and maybe you are correct that the inheritance is predetermined and they are born with a fixation on freedom.

It was a good try, but the ending is still terrible. Eren isn't special? Yeah okay, let's just fall back into the mindset of the oppressor (such as King Fritz) that you must be born a certain way to achieve something. That you don't deserve something because of it? Eren is not a slave to freedom. His definition of freedom is obtainable. Wipe 100% of the world excluding Paradis. He CAN be free. Eren isn't an idiot. Where did you get that? Are you saying that he was just following a path... Ymir's path huh? Because Eren explicitly says he followed the plan that was already laid out for him... Eren's a slave, but not to freedom. He's a slave to the girl that died 2000 years ago. Yeah right... Bravo Isayama. I want to know, what do you think Eren achieves? Freedom for his friends? The friends that he found to be incompetent and unable to help themselves in the situation they were in? Yeah, they can handle 20% of the world population on their own... like wtf? I mean, if you consider Erens character from 1-139 as the same character since the beginning of the story, then yeah. hes clearly and idiot. but hes not the same character. He was retconned. isayama achieved his goal of eren taking a different role, but completely shitting on his character. What you try to do is find reasons in the role to explain everything. You simply can't, as aot isn't as well written as people take it out to be for it to have such a creative and complex narrative. the most you can derive from the stories lore is an obvious parallel like Ymir and Historia, or Eren and Historia's clearly SETUP romance that Isayama abandoned. Why create such parallels just to throw them away on a character like Mikasa who is not narratively essential? I mean, even Isayama said so. he wrote the story around armin, eren and historia. Mikasa isn't important. Not once do we get to hear her thoughts on freedom, because she doesn't have any. Shes a hollow character that you can simply boil down as being deluded over eren. shes a terrible dueteragonist. Eren's motive for freedom is clear. he believes it's his birthright. his mother said so. his motives for freedom are clear. you purposely mislead the viewer and spin your own perspective on something that is quite objective in the narrative.

I originally thought Eren was, stagnant. The same kid with his dumb ideals. So his breakdown seems valid.

Eren is probably the worst written protagonist ever

Considering that he was god from the age of 9 years old, forced to live infinite timelines in which the only way to save everybody was by “being the necessary evil” It’s indefinitely a false perspective for those who didn’t comprehend it. The Eren that we see from the first episode/first panel was already aware of the infinite futures. He played dumb the entire series, even as a child. Which if you review it a second time, you easily catch every single instance. Nothing is just happenstance, he has no choice but to “act” surprised as to achieve the future that he finally found. Which is why he “woke up from the dream” to then live it out. Again, how the first episode begins lol. He really could’ve just slaughtered everyone from the first second he wakes up as a child. Just running place to place consuming each titan wielder. But no, because of his father’s final words, he embraced the maturity and let them live modest lives until the last possible time frame in which it was time to act as the harbinger. We could’ve saw Eren with every single Titan ability as a merciless god. But the author wanted to portray that he only sought the “least” power necessary, on a neutral scale, to achieve the end goal. This is actually why he let Reiner and the other wielders live. He didn’t need too, they weren’t even necessary components lol. The armored Titan alone would have easily made the difference for him to achieve the goal earlier. But it made no difference, because he already knew it would be achieved regardless. Once you flip the perspective, the only reason he let them live a second past his childhood years; is because they were actually the ones he wanted to kill him later. And in doing so, they understand that he was never actually evil. He did it for humanity and for them as he said the entire time. He went out as the ultimate martyr, with the most internal pain that a character could probably even hold.

"Eren bird is stupid". Man that picture was so funny I had to go back and pause it 😂

Woww 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I enjoyed the horse guide joke more than anything in that scene 😂

Damn this was a really good breakdown of what happened to Eren’s character. You mention things I haven’t thought of when watching it personally. Great video

same code geass

Eren Yeager is my wife

You know a meida IP is beautiful when you have people talking about it like this. Wonderful video brother 💪

Free Palestine and free eren from bad mc allegations

As an anime only I was disappointed with the ending not because of the final conversation but the plot holes that the story created just to get to the most 5/10 final conversation i've ever seen

I hope this doesn't sound stupid or taken the wrong way, but I can personally relate to Eren in many ways. I can understand his pain and suffering, but also his need to be better or do better. Also, his feelings of being trapped and isolated. Yes, I know he actively pushed his loved ones away and made things worse, and he should have handled it better and sought help. But that doesn't mean a person can't relate to his feelings and even feel bad for his character and what happened to him even though he brought it on himself. Loving Eren or showing him sympathy/empathy or understanding the reasons why is not the same as supporting his actions, which I do not. But I absolutely feel for his character a lot, probably more than I should.

Free Palestine 🍉

He's a sexy chad. Good upload bro. It was interesting. He was not free. He already saw his outcome.

I think the idea of the attack Titan provoking the user's. Just makes Erens character less interesting

Completely 18:23

Man its refreshing to finally see someone recognize the tragedy in Eren instead of writing him off as a chad or a virgin. AoT for sure wasn't made for the 13 year olds base it attracted. Heads up, neat video

Just a little advice i think you need to turn up your audio a lot

Amazing video! Thank you for your hard work!

As someone that left the shoes feeling like I was robbed of one of the greatest crashouts of all time, after watching this, I feel like I understand what Isayama’s message. Great Video 🤌🏽

Gee thanks. Now we need a video explaining this video and whatever message you had going on with your wall behind you.

My heart literally skipped abeat when i saw that palestinian flag. Massive respect to you for not forgetting the ongoing rumbling against the palestinian people. And unlike the rumblimg in aot where it was the eldians only path to survival and somewhat justified the one in gaza is completely one sided and driven only by greed and hatred.
