Honestly… this anime is very grey in terms of morals. Which is how the real world actually is. There was never right or wrong in the world of Eldians vs Marleyans. It was either us or them. If Eren hadn’t done anything then Zeke, his half brother, would’ve caused Eldians, Eren’s people, to go extinct. If Eren hadn’t done anything then the Eldians would’ve continued to be turned into monsters, used as war machines, for literally no fucking reason. Until they all died out after Zeke put his euthanasia plan to work. It makes so much sense that finally, after years of this bullshit, someone would finally be fed up enough to put an end to all of it. I don’t think Eren is evil. He isn’t good, either. I think he’s just tired. I’m honestly so sick of people comparing him to Hitler though. His reason for genocide isn’t even remotely in the same comparison category. Not saying it’s right, Eren committing mass genocide… but it isn’t necessarily wrong either. It’s a grey area. Us or them. You or me. My people or your people. That’s how the world is. Isayama captured it perfectly.
@@Yo-dz2ss people talk big about things they have no real knowledge about. In the terms of it being fictional, they can sit there and whine about how evil they think Eren is. But for the very few who actually watch the story unfold after having experience from the real world (trauma, loss, heartbreak, learning how the world ACTUALLY is) then they wouldn’t be singing the same tune. Most people are followers. They’ll chirp and repeat whatever the current status quo is. It’s just sad that they’ve missed the true meaning of this story and Eren’s character. I truly believe if this story was actually real and we lived in that same shitty world, any of us would do the exact same thing Eren did if we had the power and ability to.

I don't think the concept of freedom exists. Because we are bound to the dominion of the universe or the world. We have no choice but to face the consequences of our condition and actions as reality. So, if there is such a thing as freedom, we have always been and always will be free.

@@drewfiji8845 If you watch them, it will first come like Guts and Shinji are ordinary shounen protagonists, but as the series progresses and they go through huge waves of trauma, their intentions become more harmful and more anti hero like, same as Eren. Yeah Eva’s endin is a bit rushed because the studio had no money at the time but the movie makes up for it. They are great shows, I highly recommend them.
This comment got a LITTLE deep but I got time right now.. don't mind me. This quote hits dif. He finally said that this view was freedom. to him freedom was the world he had imagined as a kid when Armin showed him his book. When Eren realized it's not like that, he was disappointed (he said so to Ramzi) and began rumbling, to imitate the content of armins book. that is also why Armin said it's his fault Eren did it and will have to go to hell with eren. Something else I want to add to this because I read someones conclusion recently and also watched a video about Eren's true nature "This video will change how you see Eren" by invaderzz : Eren was sort of free since the beginning. He was free in seeking for freedom. He rumbled because he was free to do so which was pure freedom to him. Eren has been born evil. Proof for instance are Zeke and Eren while looking at Grisha's memories: Zeke: "What were you planning to do with the Founding Powers?" Eren: "I am who I have always been (shows kid eren) from the moment I was born (shows kid eren during the mikasa kidnapping incident). You may have thought we were the same, but you're wrong (shows corpses of Eren's victims). My dad didn't make me like that (shows Grisha who is shocked at the sight and asked Eren if he has an idea what he has done. Eren easily says he just got rid of animals that look like people). I've been this way since birth." Zeke's character serves to build an understanding of evilness in people by having this parallel between his and Eren's evilness. Like Eren said, while he has been like this since birth, Zeke has turned evil because of his enviroment as a kid, because his dad made him like that. So it's circumstancial for Zeke while it isn't for Eren.
@@PeyloBeauty Interesting! I wouldn't call Eren evil for killing the guys who wanted to harm Mikasa as a child though. Eren wanted peace, but at what cost
dude, really, I have been watching this for the ENTIRE week. You have made an incredible job, thats so emotional and beautiful and captures the tragedy of Grisha so much
We are all villian in someone else's story.. Sometimes we are forced to do things that strip away our humanity for the ones we love without having a choice in it. Such fate.. is life.
Eren knew that only a monster would save Eldia. Through the generations no one had the guts to do what was necessary and when Eren saw that through the attack titan's visions, he made the decision. He decided to become the monster. Even if that meant to lose it all (I don’t think that it’s a coincide that the opening says exactly the same).
@@albatrosshanging Eren knows from looking into paths that the only way to save his people and their descendants is to do what he did. Spoilers ahead in case you haven't read the manga. We can even see from the ending of the manga that even when Eren is defeated after killing 80% of the population of the world, they still eventually invade Paradis and destroy the Eldians. The Rumbling was a fate brought upon by the rest of the world who refused to listen to Paradis.
It’s crazy but in season 1 they talk about only a monster can get things done around the time Annie is revealed and eren is in the rubble. The FORESHADOW
@@latheefshaik5824 His people was going to be slaughtered, you're lying if you wouldn't do that for your own country. How about for your religion? Family? Children? Eren killed millions to give the future a much more even rights. The paradis people, Ymir's people were giants but the outside world was willing to kill millions of Eren's people out of fear. Now they are all humans, Eren left both sides with equal power. The outside world is now equal to the island
@@Adriel_HD someone didnt notice the bombers completely wiping paradise out but ok, the eldians got wiped out anyways and the entire story and main casts effort was pointless, also forgiving annie is just a no from me.
he's probably the most complicated protagonist i've seen in a while and the anime has a way of showing all parties' perspective that I no longer know who to root for anymore.
The story got so dark its honestly hard to watch. I'm not easily disturbed but season 4 created such a feeling within me that I can't even put into words. Poor Grisha... without a doubt, the most tragic character to be written.
Once he saw the truth, there was no going back. Even if he didn't attack Marley, they would still attack Paradis. Eren was between a rock and a hard place.
@@imnoweren Oooh, btw, I know it because it's the music I've used on my short film (you can see it here @pierricklobu2753, if you want it's "La Grande Cage") ! Sorry 😂
Eren says "continue to advance, even if you die, even after you die" The same thing that Erwin and all the scouts did. Honestly, it's insane that the entire show just ties into this one theme of pure hopelessness. Knowing that you can't make any substantial change, but you keep going because it's the only thing you can do. That's what all the characters in the show did, and it's heartbreaking honestly.
For a moment Grisha forgot what he had just done to the Reiss family and said everything he never got to say to Zeke when he was a child, as if he'd wanted to do it for a long time. Zeke was incredulous at his father's love despite denouncing him. One of the best scenes of the whole series.❤
AOT is true masterpiece.. No word can explain the pain, sadness and sorrow of the people felt in.. I think the quote the boy who had no choice fits him.. No one born evil.. Its people who made them and said HE IS SO RUTHLESS and HEARTLESS doesn't aware that they made the PERFECT VILLAIN..
All Grisha wanted was peace and to live a normal life. He basically did it twice, but both times he gave up what he had and fought for his loved ones. In the end he was pushed far beyond even his own limits, all for Eren, so that Eren, too, could escape the walls and try to live a normal life. We all kind of feel bad for how much pain was given to Grisha, since pain is essentially the only motivator in this show, but he was actually really strong, just not insane like Eren. He could not handle mentally snapping
People usually find it odd when I say that Grisha is in my top 5 AOT characters, but he’s just so well written. The change of perceive of Grisha’s character with time was flawlessly crafted.
Grisha died like this. Grisha died knowing his whole life was one mistake after the other, that he never made up for them, that his oldest son was at the mercy of his youngest son, who was going to succeed on his hate-filled crusade to destroy the world, all because of the cycle that he started. He fought because his sister was torn up by rabid dogs, and it ended in the world being torn up by the rabid dog that is his son.
Eren became a rabid dog because the world kept beating him with a stick. He knew that they were eventually going to kill all of them. So he killed them first.
@@Randomguy-nr6qr the cruelty of one country doesn't excuse the extermination of the entire world. That's like saying the whole world should be destroyed for the acts of horror that the Germans committed during WW2. Eren is rabid not because he's lost his mind, but because he has no control over his fate. The future that was set out for him was beyond his control. Saying that the rumbling was just a simple act of revenge is missing some major plot points.
@@SoupEmperor The problem is that its not one country. Its stated that the other countries hate them even more than marley. And when tyber made his speech the worlds diplomats agreed and cheered. Thats why eren waited till they cheered to attack. Also eren asked hange and begged for another solution for years and she didn’t do shit. None of them did.
This is the best song possible for this series. You did an incredible job. I would love to see more of these. Can't wait for you to possibly make another one with the recent (and last) episode. Thank you for putting this together!
People like to say that Grisha was controlled by Eren…that Eren spoke to him retrospectively to convince him to do what he did…but I feel like the truth is, Grisha did what he was meant to do, because he was always doing this for his family. Would you call that being controlled? Maybe. But at the end of the day, doing it for the sake of his loved ones gave it so much more meaning to his life than if he did it for himself.
well, right after he took the founder and spoke to zeke, he was indeed trying to stop eren, but then im guessing he found out Carla was eaten, which brought him back to do what was meant to happen
I don’t think Eren could really control the past it was more like he could only speak to his past selves. I’m all the scenes we see if Future Eren and Past Grisha it is Eren reminding him what he has to do
@@lidcall0909 Eren didn't speak to his past self. He says when he kissed Historia's hand he saw his own memories of the future in his dad's memories of the Reiss assassination. So season 4 Eren, once he unlocked the Founding Titan via Zeke, was sending his memories of the future back in time to Grisha, and season 3 Eren upon kissing Historia's hand was receiving Grisha's memories from the past (the normal Titan shifter way) which included the memories season 4 Eren was giving him, thus giving season 3 Eren the future memories to pass on to Grisha in season 4. It's a bootstrap paradox. A causal loop. If you really analyze the scene, it seems like Eren is communicating with Grisha by basically giving Grisha a "stream" of his current live memories, which allows for two-way communication because Eren can see Grisha's responses via the Founding Titan's access to memory. If you notice, every time Grisha sees Zeke, Eren is behind Grisha looking at Zeke. So if this "stream" of memories includes Eren's vision, Grisha may be effectively seeing what Eren sees.
honestly its even worse when you find out eren tried every possible thing to prevent him from starting the rumbling but nothing else would work as he or other eldians would be killed.
Using the amazing On the Nature of Daylight theme so beautifully on Attack on Titan and carving out such a masterpiece of an edit.... i am literally speechless!! This was really outstanding. I have no words to describe how tragic and beautiful this edit was. Truly you have my utmost Respect, you gave all your heart for this amazing masterpiece.
Who said Grisha is disappointed in Eren? He's not. He is just regretful of his actions because if he was so disappointed on Eren, then he wouldn't have passed the power of Founder and Attack Titan. It was after hearing about Carla's death (which ironically was orchestrated by Eren to ensure that the kid Eren is determined) that he thinks, everything be damned and passes on his powers. Now, it's clear Eren ensured Carla's death to ensure that Grisha does pass the powers to him at any cost.
thats some foreshadowing I never really thought about, but if the attack titans power is being able to see future memories as well as past memories, the fact eren never got any future memories hints that the power of the titans dies and ends within his lifespan
I clicked on this video by accident. The fact that you used “on the nature of daylight” my favorite piece of music. Which is from Arrival, (spoiler ahead) a movie that also has memories of the future. That is truly profound.
I think ultimately the King in the Walls/Founding Titan and Attack Titan knew ultimately that the Rumbling was inevitable......because Freida stated that The time of Judgment was coming for the Eldians.....and Eren stated he was Destined to bring about the rumbling......
I like..implore you submit this for an AMV contest for anime con, any of them. Under tragedy or drama or just fucking epic I dunno. I have watched this over a dozen times and it's so raw and emotional that I cannot see this video not winning, especially with AoT coming to a close in November. I think you have a real shot in winning and this bumps your views of the amv and I think there is a prize too. Please consider if any of that interests you. I'm not in charge of any but I've been to many cons and watched amv contests and this is a frontrunner for sure. Unforgettable. Thank you for this amv and depicting the real tragedy this story is.
oh wait, to be fair, i hadn't really heard of amv contests. ill definitely look into it! thank you so much for your kind words, i truly appreciate it and thank you for exposing me to these contests!
You're so very welcome! Yeah there's a ton annually. Anime Boston in Boston MA, Connecticon in Connecticut, MA ( there's so many and they're not just in the US I think) and yes they ask for creators to submit their amvs for their contests and if chosen you become a nominee and they premiere the AMV at the convention during the contest under its genre and it really gives exposure to the creator! It's one of my favorite parts of going to anime conventions! Now that the AoT series is over, I am 100% certain you have a huge change of winning if you submit this AMC. It's genuinely so heartbreaking and beautiful. Hopeless and emotional..but I keep coming back to immerse myself in the raw feelings. Now that I've seen the ending, it's even more perfect, and I believe you will win in a contest, and I believe you truly deserve it for this masterpiece. ❤️ good luck to you. I hope to see your video someday on the big screen! I believe in you! I'll watch for anything else you make too! Be well! Take care! 😊

What this story does so well to tell us is that the world has never been good or cruel. It has never been anything other than this empty desert, this immense sea, this dark forest, devoid of meaning and of all reason. What this story teaches us is to make this empty world the terrain of our pleasures and our actions, our emotions and our convictions. In the end, why did all this happen? Is it the fault of the world? Is it the world that is cruel, lawless? No, it's not the world. It is humanity. This evolved animal species that has this terrible curse of being beyond even conscious, it is aware of its own consciousness. Such a stage of cerebral evolution that leads him to ask existential questions about insignificant things, yet so important, since they build all the reality we know. Humans fight, humans hate each other, humans love each other. We are very different from the rest of the animal kingdom because unlike other animals, we ask ourselves questions. Above all. Human beings are different from Animals because they don't just live in their world, they transform it, they shape it in their own way to give them a reason to exist. That's what we're told in Attack on Titan. To fight, because humans are cruel to themselves. Forgive, because the human is good with himself. If the Titans are only humans transformed by other humans, it is because the author is aware that Man is solely responsible for his own peril and his own problems. Never has the world been cruel, good or compassionate, because life has no time. It is Man who kills, it is Man who builds and it is Man who discovers. We are what the world will be, because we are the only ones with the gift and the curse of making the world what we want. And that's the beauty of SNK.
This actually got me teary eyed. So much suffering was caused just to achieve Eren's idealized image of 'freedom' which never lasts. At the end of the day power a game of tug-of-war, it will eventually be taken back by those wanting to oppress and conquer until the next Eren has had enough, that's just the way of the world. It makes you wonder if the freedom Eren fought for was really worth it since the freedom he fought for was taken from others who may not have hated Eldians. For Grisha, the price was far too great, being free at the cost of massacring families is too far. But he realized after he already gave away his soul and empowered the man to cause global genocide in the future. He himself didn't know if he believed in it the cause anymore; questioning _EREN_ (not himself) if killing the Reiss family was even necessary, if that was what he really wanted, if it will actually lead to Eldia being liberated.
I love this masterpiece "on the nature of daylight" and when I listen to it, I feel the sadness and despair. but with this edit of Grisha, it magnified the feeling of sadness and despair from everyone else not only yourself. Truly AOT is one that if not the greatest of all time to me is not an anime it's the reality of our world that we live in. that is just my opinion. you made this edit hit different, great job.
holy shit. makes me think for a moment. this anime is about the consequences of human choices and it just makes me think. time and again i think how beautiful this anime was written and executed. even though isayama wouldnt see this i would like to write a personal thank you for this anime.

When Eren realized it's not like that, he was disappointed (he said so to Ramzi) and began rumbling, to imitate the content of armins book. that is also why Armin said it's his fault Eren did it and will have to go to hell with eren.
Something else I want to add to this because I read someones conclusion recently and also watched a video about Eren's true nature "This video will change how you see Eren" by invaderzz : Eren was sort of free since the beginning. He was free in seeking for freedom. He rumbled because he was free to do so which was pure freedom to him. Eren has been born evil.
Proof for instance are Zeke and Eren while looking at Grisha's memories:
Zeke: "What were you planning to do with the Founding Powers?"
Eren: "I am who I have always been (shows kid eren) from the moment I was born (shows kid eren during the mikasa kidnapping incident). You may have thought we were the same, but you're wrong (shows corpses of Eren's victims). My dad didn't make me like that (shows Grisha who is shocked at the sight and asked Eren if he has an idea what he has done. Eren easily says he just got rid of animals that look like people). I've been this way since birth."
Zeke's character serves to build an understanding of evilness in people by having this parallel between his and Eren's evilness. Like Eren said, while he has been like this since birth, Zeke has turned evil because of his enviroment as a kid, because his dad made him like that. So it's circumstancial for Zeke while it isn't for Eren.
@@PeyloBeauty Interesting!
I wouldn't call Eren evil for killing the guys who wanted to harm Mikasa as a child though.
Eren wanted peace, but at what cost
To this day, the dogs eating chunks of grisha's little sister faye and then killing her still traumatizes me
Dam ik I couldn’t believe they did that. So sad
Should see the manga, the anime soften the blow. The dogs turned her into Bestgore's dumpster scraps.
More worst happening in real world
@@raven_ARKNETsWarfare quite sure it has happened at some point
yeah that was so cruel.Imagine how much pain that little girl feels
dude, really, I have been watching this for the ENTIRE week. You have made an incredible job, thats so emotional and beautiful and captures the tragedy of Grisha so much
Oh man, thank you so much bruh. Thats literally why I do this, thanks for making my day man :)))
My video on Reiner is dropping in roughly 8-10 hours, I hope you enjoy it too!
really? u watched this video a whole week? u dont have a life do you? .. i feel very sad for u.
@@klauskleber4001 sad I'm to read this comment. But let me help you, here a list of everyone who cares about what you have to say:
We are all villian in someone else's story..
Sometimes we are forced to do things that strip away our humanity for the ones we love without having a choice in it. Such fate.. is life.
"None of us is innocent"
I'll never get tired praising the voice actors who gave life to these characters
Eren knew that only a monster would save Eldia. Through the generations no one had the guts to do what was necessary and when Eren saw that through the attack titan's visions, he made the decision. He decided to become the monster. Even if that meant to lose it all (I don’t think that it’s a coincide that the opening says exactly the same).
@@albatrosshanging Eren knows from looking into paths that the only way to save his people and their descendants is to do what he did. Spoilers ahead in case you haven't read the manga. We can even see from the ending of the manga that even when Eren is defeated after killing 80% of the population of the world, they still eventually invade Paradis and destroy the Eldians. The Rumbling was a fate brought upon by the rest of the world who refused to listen to Paradis.
@@jwally1434 yes i read the manga but im still pretty doubtful about Eren's plan
@@jwally1434 tbh glad Eren is a eternal cuckold in the end
It’s crazy but in season 1 they talk about only a monster can get things done around the time Annie is revealed and eren is in the rubble. The FORESHADOW
@@nok4799 what do you mean?
Aot literally broke me. Thank you for this masterpiece isayama

Only bad point is eren dying and that last few chapters
Bro whatever eren did went in vain....do many died for nothing and killed for nothing
@@latheefshaik5824 His people was going to be slaughtered, you're lying if you wouldn't do that for your own country. How about for your religion? Family? Children? Eren killed millions to give the future a much more even rights. The paradis people, Ymir's people were giants but the outside world was willing to kill millions of Eren's people out of fear. Now they are all humans, Eren left both sides with equal power. The outside world is now equal to the island
@@Adriel_HD someone didnt notice the bombers completely wiping paradise out but ok, the eldians got wiped out anyways and the entire story and main casts effort was pointless, also forgiving annie is just a no from me.
Oh Eren, look what u did for the name of freedom
he's probably the most complicated protagonist i've seen in a while and the anime has a way of showing all parties' perspective that I no longer know who to root for anymore.

The story got so dark its honestly hard to watch. I'm not easily disturbed but season 4 created such a feeling within me that I can't even put into words. Poor Grisha... without a doubt, the most tragic character to be written.
yimir more tragic as another commment said
Subaru from re:zero and guts are pretty high up there
Lol I was gonna say just that, Re:Zero and Beserk are even darker
@@mastershooter64berserk yeah but the re zero anime??.
@@mastershooter64re:zero? I doubt it
No AoT edit has invoked such a sense of despair as much as this one has for me. Pure beauty.
Amazing edit, you really managed to convey the absolute emotional trauma that Grisha had to endure. I got chills all over my body.
you made a wonderful work with this edit it almost maded me cry lol
ahaha this is the only case where id be glad if something i did made someone cry. anyways, thanks for taking your time to watch it man :))

right, like this video actually made me tear up 😭😭😭
Once he saw the truth, there was no going back. Even if he didn't attack Marley, they would still attack Paradis. Eren was between a rock and a hard place.
But they wouldn't have support from the other countries if he didn't attack them.
@@Сайтамен They would.
@@MrJefferson07 No, they wouldn't, Willy Tyber admitted that his sacrifice is necessary.
@@Сайтамен That's just bs lol.
The music is On the Nature by Daylight by Max Richter (in the movies Arrival and Shutter Island).
Thankyouuu!
@@imnoweren Oooh, btw, I know it because it's the music I've used on my short film (you can see it here @pierricklobu2753, if you want it's "La Grande Cage") ! Sorry 😂
I just knew it as the song from Arrival, thank you
Eren says "continue to advance, even if you die, even after you die" The same thing that Erwin and all the scouts did. Honestly, it's insane that the entire show just ties into this one theme of pure hopelessness. Knowing that you can't make any substantial change, but you keep going because it's the only thing you can do. That's what all the characters in the show did, and it's heartbreaking honestly.
attack on titan, the greatest moral dilemma ever written by a human being
this is perfect... enough to make a grown man cry.
i hate these ''im a grown man and this made me cry comments'' but.. i actually cried like a baby
AOT is the perfect definition of "Don't make someone so sad that they destroy everything"
For a moment Grisha forgot what he had just done to the Reiss family and said everything he never got to say to Zeke when he was a child, as if he'd wanted to do it for a long time. Zeke was incredulous at his father's love despite denouncing him. One of the best scenes of the whole series.❤
AOT is true masterpiece.. No word can explain the pain, sadness and sorrow of the people felt in.. I think the quote the boy who had no choice fits him.. No one born evil.. Its people who made them and said HE IS SO RUTHLESS and HEARTLESS doesn't aware that they made the PERFECT VILLAIN..
Well written
No anime will ever fill the void that Aot will leave in my heart after it finishes...
man the bird be drifting 1:02
Skkkrrrrt
All Grisha wanted was peace and to live a normal life. He basically did it twice, but both times he gave up what he had and fought for his loved ones.
In the end he was pushed far beyond even his own limits, all for Eren, so that Eren, too, could escape the walls and try to live a normal life. We all kind of feel bad for how much pain was given to Grisha, since pain is essentially the only motivator in this show, but he was actually really strong, just not insane like Eren. He could not handle mentally snapping
The song is so matching......it makes AOT more emotional than ever😢
song name?
This video made me cry dude, this show has Fr left me in shambles
Glad you enjoyed it man :)
People usually find it odd when I say that Grisha is in my top 5 AOT characters, but he’s just so well written. The change of perceive of Grisha’s character with time was flawlessly crafted.
Grisha died like this. Grisha died knowing his whole life was one mistake after the other, that he never made up for them, that his oldest son was at the mercy of his youngest son, who was going to succeed on his hate-filled crusade to destroy the world, all because of the cycle that he started. He fought because his sister was torn up by rabid dogs, and it ended in the world being torn up by the rabid dog that is his son.
over-simplification. There are consequences for attempted extermination of Eren's people. Marley lost and took the world with them.
Eren became a rabid dog because the world kept beating him with a stick. He knew that they were eventually going to kill all of them. So he killed them first.
Grisha sister didn't die in the hands of crazy dogs, she was kill for being different
@@Randomguy-nr6qr the cruelty of one country doesn't excuse the extermination of the entire world. That's like saying the whole world should be destroyed for the acts of horror that the Germans committed during WW2. Eren is rabid not because he's lost his mind, but because he has no control over his fate. The future that was set out for him was beyond his control. Saying that the rumbling was just a simple act of revenge is missing some major plot points.
@@SoupEmperor The problem is that its not one country. Its stated that the other countries hate them even more than marley. And when tyber made his speech the worlds diplomats agreed and cheered. Thats why eren waited till they cheered to attack. Also eren asked hange and begged for another solution for years and she didn’t do shit. None of them did.
eren dads voice actor deserves a award. i had throughout goosebumps. holy shit
2:48 goosebumps 🥶
Greatest Anime of all time. I don't think we'll ever experience something similar to Attack on Titan.
This is the best song possible for this series. You did an incredible job. I would love to see more of these. Can't wait for you to possibly make another one with the recent (and last) episode. Thank you for putting this together!
People like to say that Grisha was controlled by Eren…that Eren spoke to him retrospectively to convince him to do what he did…but I feel like the truth is, Grisha did what he was meant to do, because he was always doing this for his family.
Would you call that being controlled? Maybe. But at the end of the day, doing it for the sake of his loved ones gave it so much more meaning to his life than if he did it for himself.
true true, forever a jaegerist
well, right after he took the founder and spoke to zeke, he was indeed trying to stop eren, but then im guessing he found out Carla was eaten, which brought him back to do what was meant to happen
I don’t think Eren could really control the past it was more like he could only speak to his past selves. I’m all the scenes we see if Future Eren and Past Grisha it is Eren reminding him what he has to do
Eren gaslighted him relentlesly, what are you talking about 😂
@@lidcall0909 Eren didn't speak to his past self. He says when he kissed Historia's hand he saw his own memories of the future in his dad's memories of the Reiss assassination. So season 4 Eren, once he unlocked the Founding Titan via Zeke, was sending his memories of the future back in time to Grisha, and season 3 Eren upon kissing Historia's hand was receiving Grisha's memories from the past (the normal Titan shifter way) which included the memories season 4 Eren was giving him, thus giving season 3 Eren the future memories to pass on to Grisha in season 4. It's a bootstrap paradox. A causal loop.
If you really analyze the scene, it seems like Eren is communicating with Grisha by basically giving Grisha a "stream" of his current live memories, which allows for two-way communication because Eren can see Grisha's responses via the Founding Titan's access to memory. If you notice, every time Grisha sees Zeke, Eren is behind Grisha looking at Zeke. So if this "stream" of memories includes Eren's vision, Grisha may be effectively seeing what Eren sees.
Just like Bertolt said, do you really believe that Eren aspired to be a monster? That any of them desired to be a monster?
You fcking genious !! You combined GOAT aot with the leftovers' perfect soundtrack..... unbelievible
Poor Grisha, he is the most miserable character in the whole anime. Great video btw, it made me cry.
I have the exact same feeling when I watched this last year. What a masterpiece... the edit gives the emotion so well... wonderful
honestly its even worse when you find out eren tried every possible thing to prevent him from starting the rumbling but nothing else would work as he or other eldians would be killed.
Not on the nature of daylight. Now you know everyone is gonna cry. Damn youuuuu.
AHAHA the song just has an effect man
Using the amazing On the Nature of Daylight theme so beautifully on Attack on Titan and carving out such a masterpiece of an edit.... i am literally speechless!! This was really outstanding. I have no words to describe how tragic and beautiful this edit was. Truly you have my utmost Respect, you gave all your heart for this amazing masterpiece.
i love this edit , i always come back here once in a while
Wow, the sequencing with moments in the show. Very well done, very sad!!!
thank youu!! i really appreciate the comment!
They had it coming. That WAS FREEDOM!!
Props for giving the beast the respect he deserves
Champion
This scene of Grisha got me almost into tears, because it's heartbreaking.
Imagine being so evil that your father literally regrets your existence.💀
LMAOOO factss
you don't have to be evil, just be a disappointment or be asian
Some fathers do regardless of the choices you make
Who said Grisha is disappointed in Eren? He's not. He is just regretful of his actions because if he was so disappointed on Eren, then he wouldn't have passed the power of Founder and Attack Titan. It was after hearing about Carla's death (which ironically was orchestrated by Eren to ensure that the kid Eren is determined) that he thinks, everything be damned and passes on his powers. Now, it's clear Eren ensured Carla's death to ensure that Grisha does pass the powers to him at any cost.
@@subhankarbaral9236 he said Eren was going to do something terrible and he must stop him
Beautiful edit. like one continuous trance of sadness and pain.
This is so heartwrenching. You truly are gifted and able to capture the pain and emotions in AoT with these videos. Keep up the good work
@@queazyzelk i appreciate you taking the time to click on my videos man
OUTSTANDING sequencing and edit! ❤
thats some foreshadowing I never really thought about, but if the attack titans power is being able to see future memories as well as past memories, the fact eren never got any future memories hints that the power of the titans dies and ends within his lifespan
You're a genius
Nicely put together ... well made 10/10 ... explains the scene with flashbacks , music , coherent .. !!! Keep it up !
thanks mate :)
This is one of the best episodes of all anime
It’s the best one
I can't help but feel bad for Grisha
I clicked on this video by accident. The fact that you used “on the nature of daylight” my favorite piece of music. Which is from Arrival, (spoiler ahead)
a movie that also has memories of the future. That is truly profound.
this is the best aot amv i have ever seen
I think ultimately the King in the Walls/Founding Titan and Attack Titan knew ultimately that the Rumbling was inevitable......because Freida stated that The time of Judgment was coming for the Eldians.....and Eren stated he was Destined to bring about the rumbling......
I like..implore you submit this for an AMV contest for anime con, any of them. Under tragedy or drama or just fucking epic I dunno. I have watched this over a dozen times and it's so raw and emotional that I cannot see this video not winning, especially with AoT coming to a close in November. I think you have a real shot in winning and this bumps your views of the amv and I think there is a prize too. Please consider if any of that interests you. I'm not in charge of any but I've been to many cons and watched amv contests and this is a frontrunner for sure. Unforgettable. Thank you for this amv and depicting the real tragedy this story is.
oh wait, to be fair, i hadn't really heard of amv contests. ill definitely look into it! thank you so much for your kind words, i truly appreciate it and thank you for exposing me to these contests!
You're so very welcome! Yeah there's a ton annually. Anime Boston in Boston MA, Connecticon in Connecticut, MA ( there's so many and they're not just in the US I think) and yes they ask for creators to submit their amvs for their contests and if chosen you become a nominee and they premiere the AMV at the convention during the contest under its genre and it really gives exposure to the creator! It's one of my favorite parts of going to anime conventions!
Now that the AoT series is over, I am 100% certain you have a huge change of winning if you submit this AMC. It's genuinely so heartbreaking and beautiful. Hopeless and emotional..but I keep coming back to immerse myself in the raw feelings. Now that I've seen the ending, it's even more perfect, and I believe you will win in a contest, and I believe you truly deserve it for this masterpiece. ❤️ good luck to you. I hope to see your video someday on the big screen! I believe in you! I'll watch for anything else you make too! Be well! Take care! 😊

It happened my friend. So sad

Now it's time to move into some other anime. But we'll never be able to forget this masterpiece
What this story does so well to tell us is that the world has never been good or cruel. It has never been anything other than this empty desert, this immense sea, this dark forest, devoid of meaning and of all reason. What this story teaches us is to make this empty world the terrain of our pleasures and our actions, our emotions and our convictions.
In the end, why did all this happen? Is it the fault of the world? Is it the world that is cruel, lawless? No, it's not the world. It is humanity. This evolved animal species that has this terrible curse of being beyond even conscious, it is aware of its own consciousness. Such a stage of cerebral evolution that leads him to ask existential questions about insignificant things, yet so important, since they build all the reality we know. Humans fight, humans hate each other, humans love each other. We are very different from the rest of the animal kingdom because unlike other animals, we ask ourselves questions. Above all.
Human beings are different from Animals because they don't just live in their world, they transform it, they shape it in their own way to give them a reason to exist. That's what we're told in Attack on Titan. To fight, because humans are cruel to themselves. Forgive, because the human is good with himself. If the Titans are only humans transformed by other humans, it is because the author is aware that Man is solely responsible for his own peril and his own problems. Never has the world been cruel, good or compassionate, because life has no time. It is Man who kills, it is Man who builds and it is Man who discovers. We are what the world will be, because we are the only ones with the gift and the curse of making the world what we want. And that's the beauty of SNK.

same bro, this video hits so differently after watching the season finale. grisha was fucked up in the head from eren

I had to add this video to my favorites. Great job.
An amazing interpetation, of the attack on Titan, especially the pathetic cues and heartfelt cries of grisha... amazing purely AMAZING.
this is the absolute best edit I have ever seen
thank youuu omg!!
The lore are so complicated but once one understand, there's a lot of pain and burden on the main character's shoulder
This actually got me teary eyed.
So much suffering was caused just to achieve Eren's idealized image of 'freedom' which never lasts. At the end of the day power a game of tug-of-war, it will eventually be taken back by those wanting to oppress and conquer until the next Eren has had enough, that's just the way of the world. It makes you wonder if the freedom Eren fought for was really worth it since the freedom he fought for was taken from others who may not have hated Eldians.
For Grisha, the price was far too great, being free at the cost of massacring families is too far. But he realized after he already gave away his soul and empowered the man to cause global genocide in the future. He himself didn't know if he believed in it the cause anymore; questioning _EREN_ (not himself) if killing the Reiss family was even necessary, if that was what he really wanted, if it will actually lead to Eldia being liberated.
my god
the tears
2:07 that part blow me😢
Eren deserved to live more than anyone else in the show, even if it is meant for him to live alone in the world
Grisha's VA is criminally underrated
I love this masterpiece "on the nature of daylight" and when I listen to it, I feel the sadness and despair. but with this edit of Grisha, it magnified the feeling of sadness and despair from everyone else not only yourself. Truly AOT is one that if not the greatest of all time to me is not an anime it's the reality of our world that we live in. that is just my opinion. you made this edit hit different, great job.
This is just too good
