Eldians called her a *God* Marleyans called her a *devil* King Fritz called her a *slave* But Eren knew she was just a *human being* who wanted to be *Free.*
Well ymir spend thousands of year watching people kill each other will you be the same person if youbwere trap for thousands of years in another dimension?
Does this even matter? Fucking garbage ending because a girl with all the power in her hands to be free just waited for a girl to kill one fucking person in front of her because he was the evil?, like seriously that happens more times in the world to make that parallel so many times in 2000 years and mikasa and eren where the only ones that could have done it, laughtable outcome of the end isayama really did there.
@@0tisAlexander I'm not mad, the plot was ridiculous. Instead of Ymir being grateful to Eren for actually understanding and supporting her, she turned full feminist and let his adopted sister kill him in front of her just to get off "yeah, okay I get it I am dumb I was oppressed." Perhaps it would've been best to just put Ymir in detention for rest of her eternity.
I don't think Mikasa loves Jean as much as Eren though. I think this is entirely by circumstance as they can’t be together the same way as Historia and the other Ymir.
Ymir has been waiting for Mikasa for 2000 because she can kill what she loves. Ymir loves the king, but she not only does not stop his domineering, but also cooperates with him and drives Mare to hell. That's why Ymir was waiting for Mikasa to deny her "Love = Obedience". Moreover, Ymir knew from the beginning that Mikasa would appear 2000 years later through the "Path". So, Ymir was interested in Mikasa and had been observing her since she was little. The cause of Mikasa's headache was due to Ymir intervening in her memory.
If she's waiting for someone to do that actively then why does she even love him even in paths? and why go through all this if she knew end result already?
No problem with EreMika but why they made her the main protagonist all along I was so happy seeing eren freeing Ymir and then shitting on the world but....
This is stupid she literally didn't si anything even in the ending she Is going to get trapped un the paths again because a random kid find the three again You just need to accept that the ending Is bad
@@infamouspotato2028 this is full stockholm syndrome. she can never do it herself. well, considering that betraying a person you loved yourself for so many years has always been easier said than done, i understand Ymir.
Because of Eren and Mikasa, Ymir finally understand what love really means - love is about letting go of the person you love, setting them free from the cages they belong to, even though it hurts.
"You're just a human being" ...who developed unparalleled superpowers, transcended death itself, and lived in a timeless void observing eternity while pulling the strings of reality to manipulate the universe as she saw it. ...that is literally the definition of a fucking God, Eren.
Sure, but at her core, she was still just a little slave girl who's never really had a home before. She had all the powers of a God but the mentality of a broken, lost lifelong slave.
That literally doesn't matter. She's actually God. It doesn't matter if God started out as a person, she's literally seen eternity and lived for millenia in a void. That would change anyone. It's a stupid fucking line.
I like endings that crush our understanding and perception. They piss us off but they’re very entertaining. I also like when the writers aren’t slaves to the fans. We have to keep in mind this is their story and we choose to be along for the ride.
Okay, but imagine getting on a rollercoaster and then at the end of the ride a loaded diaper flies at you. And then as you're complaining about the shit you're covered in, someone says "well it was entertaining. We gotta respect this is how the guy who designed this ride intended it to end."
No matter what you do in life you’ll never be free until death cause you’ll always be enslaved to anything wether it be searching for freedom or getting money or finding love or completing your dream you’ll always be enslaved to it up until you die
Eren was nothing like King Fritz and Mikasa is nothing like Ymir. It still doesn’t make sense, but I’m here to support this video because the editing is 🔥
I don't know, why but every time in anime our main character explains us about our own free will, there is no such thing as pre-destined. Then they are told, "hey man you were destined to be here, to be who you are right now. " 😅😅😶
Berserk do the destiny thing well actually, I mean it’s not the idea what I dislike it’s the execution, it was so poorly made and it feels forced, I believe that some things are predestined to happen but I would like the mangakas to portrait that better in they stories
To their perspective it looks like they have freedom but the action of the past affects the future and the action of the future affects the past. But the outcome is only set by the action of the inherent will of the characters🙂
I always thought that Ymir would end the titan curse if Eren had made the sacrifice to go full rumbling, even if it had killed his friends in the process.
The real villain here is Ymir. She is the whole reason Eren went to do the rumbling and for his internal conflicts he has had his entire life. Same with the persecution of the Ackermans and is the reason the Marleyans ended up as enemies with the Eldians. I understand her suffering with the king and all, but she allowed genocides to happen over her mental state. I feel so horrible for Eren and Mikasa.
I would say she’s a victim, because the author of AOT himself stated that it is in Eren’s nature to fight for freedom. Being inside the walls surrounded by titans has made Eréndira yearn for freedom. If he lives in a world where he is free he gets bored and will try to find ways to make it chaotic and find himself fighting for freedom. There’s a very good video analysis on his character on UA-cam, it’s about an hour and a half long and I recommend watching the whole thing
@@lifeisbeautifullyhorrible6244 “Still she’s not” the fact you’re not even able to give an explanation shows how you simply don’t want to accept Ymir is the villain
The worst part about inheriting the attack titan is that because of it's ability to glimpse into the future, the inheritor loses their own free will and becomes a slave to the memories of the future. It's funny because apparently the Attack Titan should've been a representation of Ymir's will to be free.
She smiles because Ymir, just like Mikasa is an Ackerman, and seeing Mikasa prevailed over her will and seeing her free from being slave to Eren elates her. Ymir failed to do the same to herself with King Fritz.
@@chiefbeceatbp1846 Ackerman blood does exist and I believe it was explained by genetic testing done on titans by the original King Fritz that created the Ackerman bloodline. I don’t think it would be incorrect to call Mikasa a relative of Ymir considering titans were made by consuming Ymir and her blood comes from the testing that was done on these titans. To think the whole story of aot occurred because of ymirs love for fritz even in death is kind of frustrating. Mikasa has shown the most humanity of all the mcs in the show except when involved in matters of Eren’s safety and I think Ymir relates to that because she originally helped humanity until Fritz enslaved her and she fell in love so she started killing under Fritz’s rule.
In my opinion, Eren and Mikasa did represent King Fritz and Ymir., however Eren and Mikasa are also representative of the two parts of Ymir. Eren represents her desire to be free through any means necessary, whilst Mikasa represented her desire to be loyal and obedient to the man she loved. To shorten it, Eren represents freedom by causing others agony and Mikasa represents slavery by causing herself agony. Eren and Mikasa were the two choices she had. Evil or Good. To sacrifice or to be sacrificed. In the end, she chose the good option to let go of the man she loved to save many others because she saw Mikasa was strong enough to do it. Was it the right option? What is truly good or truly evil? As Levi said, we don't know what the right option is, we must all make that decision for ourselves.
Yea for the people who say eren was like king fritz, he didn't use mikasa as his concubine or some shit._. yea he was aggresive sometimes but thats on his anger issues and jelously of her. he did truly love her its just in ymir's eyes she wanted eren to be the monster and to destroy the lives of others in order for her freedom to be free. no matter how bad it sounds its the truth, but she is human like eren said and just wanted to be free from the toxic love she had for her king.
Maybe she technically could. But the whole point is that she was mentally or spiritually unable. She was so enthralled by King Fritz, and so caught up in her love for this tyrant, that she couldn't let go; so she could never force herself to even seriously consider that.
No. Ymir's "love" stopped her from doing anything like that until she saw Mikasa do her ting. Ymir's mental state was comparable to Stockholm syndrome - the same is commonly seen in victims of abuse who don't leave their abuser.
@@HelloArt3mis but I’m saying thoo… if Ymir had all the titan abilities then shouldn’t she have access to erens memories from the future?, but then again I guess she wouldn’t have access to the future if she never took the spear and died to begin with,
@@KingsizeDD The idea of Mikasa having to kill eren isn’t the problem. Just saying Eren was the chosen one, and by killing him the curse would be broke was enough. The idea that Mikasa and Ymir had parallel lives doesn’t make sense, especially since 122 implied a parallel between Ymir and Historia. Also a slight editing of the ending, if not a completely different ending, isn’t unheard of. Inuyasha had a different manga ending than the anime which maid Kagome a parallel of Midoriko. However this was glossed over in the anime.
Honestly, Eren is a badass. He knew that this is what ymir wanted, for him to die by mikasa. That’s why he acted like the bad guy, to protect his friends, and make sure freedom was instilled because if mikasa killed him ymir would have been happy and the Titans would no longer exist. Sadly for Eren, ymir played him and caused more pain and suffering. Tho this story is heartwarming at the same time it’s fuking maniacal
Its even more messed up because if he made one of them his concubine its was either shortly before or shortly after ymir death since in the picture on his death bed they look the same exact age as when she died
I do have to admit though that the fact that Mikasa is willing to give in when she and Eren are fighting Levi about choosing choosing Erwin over Armin Is pretty cool foreshadowing of her willingness to kill Eren. I just wish he didn’t love her back. It’s so sudden and undeveloped imo.
When Zeke and Eren return to their father's memories, Zeke is discussing saving the world, but Eren doesn't reply to him. Zeke turns around to find Eren staring at the scene where his childhood self is red-faced and putting a scarf on Mikasa. I realized at that moment that Eren was deeply in love with Mikasa.
Underdeveloped maybe, but undeveloped? No, go back through the series, Eren's love for Mikasa definitely is present at least from the time he punched Dina in titan form, if not earlier. It's there if you pay attention to it.
While I do think the ending doesn't make much sense looking at Ymir's actions, I think I can live with the explanation that Ymir became a broken individual after her endless suffering. So much so that her actions, thoughts and needs cannot be comprehended by humans and their logic. I think Isayama tried to imply this when Eren, who related to Ymir more than anyone in the series, stated that even he did not fully understand her heart.
just bc ymir didn’t make the titans with genitals doesn’t mean she was innocent and i don’t think anyone thinks that she is 💀there was just no need for an eldian in their titan form to reproduce. it was like an extra precaution to make sure there was the least amount of titans possible
TWIST: Eren takes Ymir's place in the paths, and someone else will inherit the power to free Eren over and over again. Its a vicious cycle that requires a sacrifice to be enslaved.
Unfortunately it doesn't work like that. The path was created when Ymir died because of her will for servitude for King Fritz. The path, the titan's powers and the way they work directly depends on Ymir and Fritz, they were the one who shaped the curse. When she fell in the tree she didn't meet the previous holder of this power, she just found the worm and everything started from there. It is implied that someone who had this worm before died there thousands of years ago and the grave became the tree. So even if Eren died at this place, the only thing that may still be there is the worm. The path ceased to exist when Ymir was freed because that was her specific curse.That was her creation. Whoever fall into the tree at the end will get the Founder and will be able to start a new curse depending on how they will proceed with it, and there's no reason for this new holder to meet the previous one, since it didn't happen for Ymir when she fell in the first place or when she went to the path. She was 100% alone. If someone must be freed in the future that would be the person falling into the tree and get to create the curse
@@MeraHarch True, but I think the path exists with the hallucigenia, not the user. The user simply inhabits it because when Ymir died, the path was 1, then 3 when her daughters ate her body. She didn't access it before her death in the cannon story, but we simply don't know if she didn't. And if Ymir creates the Titan bodies in paths, who or what created hers? What if in other curses, it wouldn't be titans at all?
@@PerigoBerro There's a possibility that the path Ymir is connected to was what created her initial titan self. If the path can exist in all timelines connecting the different subjects and titan hosts, what's to stop it from also creating its own self fulfilling paradox. Like how Eren can change events prior to his own birth, and even further back. So in short, she created herself possibly, the worm just connected the dot from the point of creation after she fell into the tree to whenever slave Ymir in the path created the titan body.
He would be satisfied with his “freedom” at first but like with the outside world before,he’ll probably despise the new world he created through the rumbling and live the rest of his life regretting everything in despair
@@wassimsoldat eren would have died 3 years later asshole if eren completed the Rumbling then the curse of the titans will still Exist so no Paradis will fight each other for the 9 titans power again and the Great titan war will repeat again Eren completimg the rumbling make zero sense .ake the war never stops armin say on manga 123 or 124 they will be condemed to repeat history of 2000 years but now on the island
I think its stupid that she even died from that in the first place "being the most powerful titan" a spear took her out. I mean we seen much worse injuries to the others and they healed from it. I know for them to die they have to have their head cut off, I guess you could say that spear went through her heart though maybe that could be game over too but they really never said it before. Although Eren took a piece of lumber to the chest while facing the female titan but I guess it could be argued it wasn't in the heart.
Honestly looking at the picture it didn't even hit her heart so that just seems like poor writing to me. If anything Eren's injury was close enough to his heart since the heart is slightly middle left. I think they should of came up with a better reason of her death might of just been rushed.
She did not regenerate. She was mentally exhausted and wanting JUST one kind word from Karl Frits but when he said rise work slave she gave up on life.
The regeneration only happens if you have a will to live. Thats what the titan powers are built upon. Ymir became a titan in the first place because she didnt want to die and the Hallucigenia embodies that same feeling as the physical embodiment of life and survival. Causing the first titan transformation. This explains why they have to injure themself to transform and trigger that survival response. When Ymir took the spear for Fritz, even though she should have survived, when she realized Fritz didnt care for her, she let go of the will to live and let herself die. Afterwards she goes to the paths and continues to love Fritz as being a slave is all she knew. She never learned to let go until the events of the rumbling. I hope this clears it up for you. If you think its a bad reason, that fine and I wont continue to try to change your mind. On that note have a nice day. 😊
isn’t it because of the path? if she’s the one molding every titan and transformation, and she didn’t die yet, who could have repaired her injury in the other dimension yet
I feel it makes sense that Eren went forward with it all because it would wipe out titans from existence by freeing Ymir whilst letting the people he loved live a happy life
@@killcount4750 ya ppl keep saying "you don't get it" .. like nah i do get it, it's not that complicated, it's just too random for the ending of this story that took like ten years to tell...
Something I've been thinking about recently in regards to the royal blood is that King Fritz didn't impregnante one of his daughters as he is on their deathbed when they are still very young. I actually think that at some point in the future, either the daughter that inherited the ability that would become the coordinate or someone after her simply used the ability to alter the royal bloodline specifically. They altered it so that anyone from their direct line would be able to command Ymir. That way it wouldn't matter who they had kids with, so long as they come from their specific line they have this ability.
@@CelVini more precisely the attack titan can send memories to its past inheritors. It can’t look into the future at will and a user cannot send itself memories. It has to be a past inheritor
I’d argue that we don’t know for sure that Ymir was the first titan. In fact, I might argue she might not be. Just the first titan according to mankind’s knowledge.
She gave up on life intentionally, which I find to be a load of BS. Loves him enough to take a spear for the dick, make titans in his name for 2000 years, but not enough to get your ass back up and spare your daughters?
Ymir didn’t will Eren to go through the scenario.. Like you said, her only yearn for freedom gave birth to the attack Titan. Eren chose that eventuality. I think it is more of a poetic justice that her freedom is related to the severing.
Mikasa never even had a proper conversion with Eren before, they never shared each other interests. I bet Mikasa doesn't even know Eren's favorite ice cream.
Eren ate ice cream once in his life and it was Mikasa's ice cream. Lmao what kind of logic you want to aply? Only Mikasa and Armin knew Eren better than anyone.
I just started following this theory and honestly it makes sense but unfortunately I don't see them being so bold. I mean I really want it but I'd want it so eren, Mikasa, armin have a happy ending lol
@@skage__255 from what I heard there's that then alot in consistency between the anime/Manga.. I mean yeah it could be nothing but when you lay out all the details it definitely looks promising but I don't have alot of hope for it since its a big change to how anime/Mangas work
Well here’s a “hot take” I think the way Ymir went about everything was a very human thing People are people so selfishness, thinking of oneself ultimately, and making the mistakes of going back to the toxicity and/or lying So I really like the way it happened cause it doesn’t have to make sense to us it was her story and to her this was necessary “But what about the other people that died” 😑 Dude. I’m not saying she’s a hero but completely human in the way she handled things You gotta appreciate that nuance
This is such a pessimistic view of the ending that even I, an ardent pessimist, find your interpretation rather bleak. Eren did accomplish some of his goal, not the freedom he sought for himself, but freedom for those of his friends that survived, and time for his people, the Aldeans(spelling?) to adapt to modern society/technology, so that they had a chance at a future. Looking at the amount of time that passed in the extra pages of the final chapter, I'd say The Rumbling bought the Aldean's btween 60 to 100 years of growth and development, which is more than enough time for everyone Eren cared about to live, love, have children and grandchildren, and die a peaceful death due to old age. As for Eren dying a slave, shackled to a fate that was out of his control, Eren himself acknowledged that he could walk away, but doing so would damn everyone he knew and cared about to short life of hardship and misery before an abrupt death. He exchanged his freedom for the freedom of his loved ones, and a chance for them to live a life of their choosing, which was still one of his own goals to begin with. As for Ymir, yeah, I don't really have anything to say about her. She was a woman born into slavery, lacking the very concept of freedom, and fell further down the rabbit hole by developing Stockholm Syndrome for a tyrannical dictator, doing a lot of good for her people at the expense of those of other outlying tribes and nations. She needed to she that there was something beyond her twisted love and subservience to the will of her long dead slaver, so she set up a scenario in which her stand-in, Mikasa, would be forced into a situation where she had to either let go of her love and kill Eren, or let the rest of non-Aldean humanity be crushed under the foot of The Rumbling. In doing so, Ymir was able to imagine a scenario where she was able to let go of her love and subservience to the long dead king and move on, presumably to the afterlife. Was AoT's ending perfect? No, not by a long shot, but I do think it was the best ending that it could have been, and it was in line with the themes of the entire Attack on Titan story, so I'm personally quite satisfied with how things turned out.
Eren could not walk away from his desire of freedom by himself. U need to read the manga ova lost girls there’s only one thing that could save eren from himself and we see that happening in 138
Honestly speaking... I love the ending It is so typical of AOT to break our hearts at the end. It would be very stupid and cliche if it ended any other way Only problem I have is that, the thing about her observing Mikasa and trying to see if she could kill Eren should have been expanded on. I get that Ymir is a serious case of Mental issues so ofcourse all she did made sense to her (maybe not us, since technically we aren't as mental as her) but honestly speaking I like the ending. It blew mind and showed us an example of how so many major things could happen in the world all because of a generally minor reason but personally deep(forgive my grammar) All in all, I'm satisfied... Maybe because I personally didn't have anyone in AOT I was fully supporting I loved all the characters (maybe Eren ever more slightly). Still, I accept the way it ended
@@TickleMeTner They probably gonna change it tho. There were loads and loads of complaints and reviews about it so they much they had to make a altered ending for it. Eren might die still as sad as it is because he was a tool to the world tbh. (He is now a bird? Birds are my favorite animals tho). I rather him be rebirth with no titan blood or memories and lived a normal happy life in a more open/freer world 50 years or so down the line. Everything else plays out the same but Eren gets what he wanted all along..A happy free-willed life Ig. That's how I would have wrote it at least
Honestly, 2 changes that could have made this make more sense in the "Freedom" thing with Ymir. 1.) she passes out after shifting back to a human and King Fritz finds her and promises to free her is she helps him. He then uses her, impregnates her, all that. Then, 2.) she is killed on accident or protecting her kids instead of him, and then you still have the love connection. You could even say that the love connection is what gives the descendants with Royal blood their power still, while Ymir still craves to be set free and have true freedom. Maybe it would work, maybe not, but I honestly don't get why she went back to being his slave and then dying for him because she "loved" him.
I just can’t with the romance. After ignoring Mikasa’s obvious love for him for years, come to find out Eren loves her passionately but never tried to get with her because he’s too dedicated to his newfound goal of killing the whole world to (hopefully, unless he can actually see the future which I thought he couldn’t so no guarantees) make a couple of his friends look like heroes and then on top of the romance you’ve got Ymir who may or may not control everything but needs a quick one-sided convo with Eren who is maybe special or maybe not to talk her into breaking out of royal control (so lame) and then Mikasa is the special one because she can kill the special or not special one supposedly breaking free of her obsession with him even though she has to kill him and follow his plan exactly. Oh and she’s cool with it, kisses his freakin nasty head and never moves on???? And Ymir just heals Zeke whenever she pleases but doesn’t bother to save Eren even though we would have bought it because at that point the whole thing was so ridiculous and then you’re telling me Paradis gets bombed in the future because…..this is an incredible story that requires lots of UA-cam videos to make it work?
Bro I keep up constantly with your content and I think there are 2 or 3 other content videos you made that explain this in full detail ,the first time was in a 20min to almost an hour long video debunking how the attack on titan manga ended and why the ending made sense and the motive behind the ending because the author of the story got some sort of inspiration from Game of Thrones' series' ending ,and who is Ymir as well as the reasoning why Eren started the rumbling another video even included the haulucigen and its orgin where you made a recent video explaining in honestly the most legendary way the entire timeline of attack on titan.
No matter how many explanation videos I watch, the ending still doesn’t make sense to me. Credit to isayama for a fantastic series, just feel the ending was not satisfying at all.
The ending was not about being satisfying the ending is about a message a message that war never stops and even if eren kill Everyone the war will continue just imagine if eren kill everyone outside Paradis the titan curse would still exist that mean in less than 20 years voth eren and armin would be dead and a war for the 9 titans inside paradis will begin so yeah the ending was about ending it all or realizing you can't but still make the sacrifaces to get to that moment
She just kiss him goodbye what the hell man. The kiss is shared both in the path and in reality. Look at the way Eren's lip is leaning forward he spend the last seconds of his life kissing her back. When the love of your life just dies won't you at least kiss him/her one last time?
Im going to predict a plot twist... mikasa isnt going to kill eren because shes going to change him and then ymir is going to realize time can be changed and boom(im sorry if the last chapter is already out i dont read manga)
What I find a real shame is the wasted potential of the titan powers. Imagine if someone other than a slave had found the original creature, some one with purpose, imagination and the will to do as they pleased with this power.
You think that Ymir and eren made a deal in the paths? Like Ymir gave eren the power to destroy the world and make his friends the hero’s of the world and end the power of the Titans, but only if eren agreed to let mikasa make a choice for herself when the time came.

Because of Eren and Mikasa, Ymir finally understand what love really means - love is about letting go of the person you love, setting them free from the cages they belong to, even though it hurts.
Setting them free from life?

Sure, but at her core, she was still just a little slave girl who's never really had a home before. She had all the powers of a God but the mentality of a broken, lost lifelong slave.
That literally doesn't matter. She's actually God. It doesn't matter if God started out as a person, she's literally seen eternity and lived for millenia in a void. That would change anyone.

@@no_halo24 How is about Mikasa? All these are Eren's Bizarre Adventures seen through the POV of the camera
I always thought that Ymir would end the titan curse if Eren had made the sacrifice to go full rumbling, even if it had killed his friends in the process.
I mean if he killed literally anyone I suppose there wouldn't really be a need for titans lol
The real villain here is Ymir. She is the whole reason Eren went to do the rumbling and for his internal conflicts he has had his entire life. Same with the persecution of the Ackermans and is the reason the Marleyans ended up as enemies with the Eldians. I understand her suffering with the king and all, but she allowed genocides to happen over her mental state. I feel so horrible for Eren and Mikasa.
@@lifeisbeautifullyhorrible6244 You can be a villain despite being a victim
I would say she’s a victim, because the author of AOT himself stated that it is in Eren’s nature to fight for freedom. Being inside the walls surrounded by titans has made Eréndira yearn for freedom. If he lives in a world where he is free he gets bored and will try to find ways to make it chaotic and find himself fighting for freedom.

The worst part about inheriting the attack titan is that because of it's ability to glimpse into the future, the inheritor loses their own free will and becomes a slave to the memories of the future.
It's funny because apparently the Attack Titan should've been a representation of Ymir's will to be free.
When Eren woke up at the beginning, he saw a bird. Birds where always used to symbolise freedom in this anime. So I guess he truly became free.
Same
@@miralfatima4125 bro what do u mean same. Are u a bird
She smiles because Ymir, just like Mikasa is an Ackerman, and seeing Mikasa prevailed over her will and seeing her free from being slave to Eren elates her. Ymir failed to do the same to herself with King Fritz.
not really, the ackerman blood thing does not exist. its only that she let go of her love to eren and was able to kill hem
@@aladdin7387 how do you say so? There's nothing in the story that says otherwise ☺️.
@@chiefbeceatbp1846 Ackerman blood does exist and I believe it was explained by genetic testing done on titans by the original King Fritz that created the Ackerman bloodline. I don’t think it would be incorrect to call Mikasa a relative of Ymir considering titans were made by consuming Ymir and her blood comes from the testing that was done on these titans. To think the whole story of aot occurred because of ymirs love for fritz even in death is kind of frustrating. Mikasa has shown the most humanity of all the mcs in the show except when involved in matters of Eren’s safety and I think Ymir relates to that because she originally helped humanity until Fritz enslaved her and she fell in love so she started killing under Fritz’s rule.
*Ngl, Yelena's face is the stuff of nightmares😨*
In my opinion, Eren and Mikasa did represent King Fritz and Ymir., however Eren and Mikasa are also representative of the two parts of Ymir. Eren represents her desire to be free through any means necessary, whilst Mikasa represented her desire to be loyal and obedient to the man she loved. To shorten it, Eren represents freedom by causing others agony and Mikasa represents slavery by causing herself agony. Eren and Mikasa were the two choices she had. Evil or Good. To sacrifice or to be sacrificed. In the end, she chose the good option to let go of the man she loved to save many others because she saw Mikasa was strong enough to do it. Was it the right option? What is truly good or truly evil? As Levi said, we don't know what the right option is, we must all make that decision for ourselves.
I really enjoy this take! No one has thought of it from the point of view before.
Well said
Well said. Makes me think of the little girl looking up to Mikasa earlier in the story.
Yea for the people who say eren was like king fritz, he didn't use mikasa as his concubine or some shit._. yea he was aggresive sometimes but thats on his anger issues and jelously of her. he did truly love her its just in ymir's eyes she wanted eren to be the monster and to destroy the lives of others in order for her freedom to be free. no matter how bad it sounds its the truth, but she is human like eren said and just wanted to be free from the toxic love she had for her king.
But wait… doesn’t that mean Ymir could manipulate her actions from the day she died and cause herself to not take the spear for fritz
Dude….this is a really good question.
Maybe she technically could. But the whole point is that she was mentally or spiritually unable. She was so enthralled by King Fritz, and so caught up in her love for this tyrant, that she couldn't let go; so she could never force herself to even seriously consider that.
No. Ymir's "love" stopped her from doing anything like that until she saw Mikasa do her ting. Ymir's mental state was comparable to Stockholm syndrome - the same is commonly seen in victims of abuse who don't leave their abuser.
@@HelloArt3mis but I’m saying thoo… if Ymir had all the titan abilities then shouldn’t she have access to erens memories from the future?, but then again I guess she wouldn’t have access to the future if she never took the spear and died to begin with,

I really hope the anime going too do a better ending , because this manga/anime deserves a awesome ending.

@@Denjiman-qz9mi yes I know what u meen. Like the exstra chapter ending that was just awful 😖 . I really hope they going to make it good.
@@KingsizeDD The idea of Mikasa having to kill eren isn’t the problem. Just saying Eren was the chosen one, and by killing him the curse would be broke was enough. The idea that Mikasa and Ymir had parallel lives doesn’t make sense, especially since 122 implied a parallel between Ymir and Historia.
Also a slight editing of the ending, if not a completely different ending, isn’t unheard of. Inuyasha had a different manga ending than the anime which maid Kagome a parallel of Midoriko. However this was glossed over in the anime.
Agree. This masterpiece doesn't deserve to have this terrible ending.
Honestly, Eren is a badass. He knew that this is what ymir wanted, for him to die by mikasa. That’s why he acted like the bad guy, to protect his friends, and make sure freedom was instilled because if mikasa killed him ymir would have been happy and the Titans would no longer exist. Sadly for Eren, ymir played him and caused more pain and suffering. Tho this story is heartwarming at the same time it’s fuking maniacal
Hopefully Mikasa breaks the time loop
Ymir: *gets killed and is still obeying her slave master/husband*
Also Ymir: IMA RUIN THE WORLD FOR SOME THERAPY AND PERSONAL SATISFACTION!?
Its even more messed up because if he made one of them his concubine its was either shortly before or shortly after ymir death since in the picture on his death bed they look the same exact age as when she died
I do have to admit though that the fact that Mikasa is willing to give in when she and Eren are fighting Levi about choosing choosing Erwin over Armin Is pretty cool foreshadowing of her willingness to kill Eren. I just wish he didn’t love her back. It’s so sudden and undeveloped imo.
When Zeke and Eren return to their father's memories, Zeke is discussing saving the world, but Eren doesn't reply to him. Zeke turns around to find Eren staring at the scene where his childhood self is red-faced and putting a scarf on Mikasa. I realized at that moment that Eren was deeply in love with Mikasa.
Underdeveloped maybe, but undeveloped? No, go back through the series, Eren's love for Mikasa definitely is present at least from the time he punched Dina in titan form, if not earlier. It's there if you pay attention to it.
While I do think the ending doesn't make much sense looking at Ymir's actions, I think I can live with the explanation that Ymir became a broken individual after her endless suffering. So much so that her actions, thoughts and needs cannot be comprehended by humans and their logic. I think Isayama tried to imply this when Eren, who related to Ymir more than anyone in the series, stated that even he did not fully understand her heart.
just bc ymir didn’t make the titans with genitals doesn’t mean she was innocent and i don’t think anyone thinks that she is 💀there was just no need for an eldian in their titan form to reproduce. it was like an extra precaution to make sure there was the least amount of titans possible
TWIST: Eren takes Ymir's place in the paths, and someone else will inherit the power to free Eren over and over again. Its a vicious cycle that requires a sacrifice to be enslaved.
that could be cool
I had the exact idea!!
Unfortunately it doesn't work like that. The path was created when Ymir died because of her will for servitude for King Fritz. The path, the titan's powers and the way they work directly depends on Ymir and Fritz, they were the one who shaped the curse. When she fell in the tree she didn't meet the previous holder of this power, she just found the worm and everything started from there. It is implied that someone who had this worm before died there thousands of years ago and the grave became the tree. So even if Eren died at this place, the only thing that may still be there is the worm. The path ceased to exist when Ymir was freed because that was her specific curse.That was her creation. Whoever fall into the tree at the end will get the Founder and will be able to start a new curse depending on how they will proceed with it, and there's no reason for this new holder to meet the previous one, since it didn't happen for Ymir when she fell in the first place or when she went to the path. She was 100% alone. If someone must be freed in the future that would be the person falling into the tree and get to create the curse
@@MeraHarch True, but I think the path exists with the hallucigenia, not the user. The user simply inhabits it because when Ymir died, the path was 1, then 3 when her daughters ate her body. She didn't access it before her death in the cannon story, but we simply don't know if she didn't. And if Ymir creates the Titan bodies in paths, who or what created hers? What if in other curses, it wouldn't be titans at all?
@@PerigoBerro There's a possibility that the path Ymir is connected to was what created her initial titan self. If the path can exist in all timelines connecting the different subjects and titan hosts, what's to stop it from also creating its own self fulfilling paradox. Like how Eren can change events prior to his own birth, and even further back. So in short, she created herself possibly, the worm just connected the dot from the point of creation after she fell into the tree to whenever slave Ymir in the path created the titan body.
This stuff will never maked sense no matter how you try to explain it
I wonder, what would've happened if Eren killed his friends and finished the Rumbling?

imagine being one of the first to kill a titan and survive, only for you to hear the titan you killed to appear later on as you grow old
I think its stupid that she even died from that in the first place "being the most powerful titan" a spear took her out. I mean we seen much worse injuries to the others and they healed from it. I know for them to die they have to have their head cut off, I guess you could say that spear went through her heart though maybe that could be game over too but they really never said it before. Although Eren took a piece of lumber to the chest while facing the female titan but I guess it could be argued it wasn't in the heart.
Honestly looking at the picture it didn't even hit her heart so that just seems like poor writing to me. If anything Eren's injury was close enough to his heart since the heart is slightly middle left. I think they should of came up with a better reason of her death might of just been rushed.
She did not regenerate. She was mentally exhausted and wanting JUST one kind word from Karl Frits but when he said rise work slave she gave up on life.
The regeneration only happens if you have a will to live. Thats what the titan powers are built upon. Ymir became a titan in the first place because she didnt want to die and the Hallucigenia embodies that same feeling as the physical embodiment of life and survival. Causing the first titan transformation. This explains why they have to injure themself to transform and trigger that survival response. When Ymir took the spear for Fritz, even though she should have survived, when she realized Fritz didnt care for her, she let go of the will to live and let herself die. Afterwards she goes to the paths and continues to love Fritz as being a slave is all she knew. She never learned to let go until the events of the rumbling.
I hope this clears it up for you. If you think its a bad reason, that fine and I wont continue to try to change your mind. On that note have a nice day. 😊
@@thekrimsonhat Exactly 👍
isn’t it because of the path? if she’s the one molding every titan and transformation, and she didn’t die yet, who could have repaired her injury in the other dimension yet

Something I've been thinking about recently in regards to the royal blood is that King Fritz didn't impregnante one of his daughters as he is on their deathbed when they are still very young. I actually think that at some point in the future, either the daughter that inherited the ability that would become the coordinate or someone after her simply used the ability to alter the royal bloodline specifically. They altered it so that anyone from their direct line would be able to command Ymir. That way it wouldn't matter who they had kids with, so long as they come from their specific line they have this ability.

I’d argue that we don’t know for sure that Ymir was the first titan. In fact, I might argue she might not be. Just the first titan according to mankind’s knowledge.
How did a god die by a mere spear when reiner got stabbed in the heart and neck by levi and fell HALF THE SIZE OF THE WALL and still survived?
She gave up on life intentionally, which I find to be a load of BS. Loves him enough to take a spear for the dick, make titans in his name for 2000 years, but not enough to get your ass back up and spare your daughters?
Ymir could have survived the stab she got in her chest but no longer had the will to live, she wanted to die
There's no no way, Ymir's daughters were way too young for THAT.
Ymir didn’t will Eren to go through the scenario.. Like you said, her only yearn for freedom gave birth to the attack Titan. Eren chose that eventuality. I think it is more of a poetic justice that her freedom is related to the severing.
None of this wouldn't happen if those hunters had decent aim. Shot ymir 2 times only for her to still have the strength to wander into a tree smh.
I needed this explanation because i was confused about Ymir and how she kept obeying the royal family and why she did all that for fritz
Both of Eren and Ymir need a psychologist then Mikasa. 😂

Imagine if Ymir did not die what would happen 🤔🤔🤔👀
Well here’s a “hot take” I think the way Ymir went about everything was a very human thing People are people so selfishness, thinking of oneself ultimately, and making the mistakes of going back to the toxicity and/or lying So I really like the way it happened cause it doesn’t have to make sense to us it was her story and to her this was necessary “But what about the other people that died” 😑 Dude. I’m not saying she’s a hero but completely human in the way she handled things You gotta appreciate that nuance
This is such a pessimistic view of the ending that even I, an ardent pessimist, find your interpretation rather bleak. Eren did accomplish some of his goal, not the freedom he sought for himself, but freedom for those of his friends that survived, and time for his people, the Aldeans(spelling?) to adapt to modern society/technology, so that they had a chance at a future. Looking at the amount of time that passed in the extra pages of the final chapter, I'd say The Rumbling bought the Aldean's btween 60 to 100 years of growth and development, which is more than enough time for everyone Eren cared about to live, love, have children and grandchildren, and die a peaceful death due to old age. As for Eren dying a slave, shackled to a fate that was out of his control, Eren himself acknowledged that he could walk away, but doing so would damn everyone he knew and cared about to short life of hardship and misery before an abrupt death. He exchanged his freedom for the freedom of his loved ones, and a chance for them to live a life of their choosing, which was still one of his own goals to begin with.
As for Ymir, yeah, I don't really have anything to say about her. She was a woman born into slavery, lacking the very concept of freedom, and fell further down the rabbit hole by developing Stockholm Syndrome for a tyrannical dictator, doing a lot of good for her people at the expense of those of other outlying tribes and nations. She needed to she that there was something beyond her twisted love and subservience to the will of her long dead slaver, so she set up a scenario in which her stand-in, Mikasa, would be forced into a situation where she had to either let go of her love and kill Eren, or let the rest of non-Aldean humanity be crushed under the foot of The Rumbling. In doing so, Ymir was able to imagine a scenario where she was able to let go of her love and subservience to the long dead king and move on, presumably to the afterlife.
Was AoT's ending perfect? No, not by a long shot, but I do think it was the best ending that it could have been, and it was in line with the themes of the entire Attack on Titan story, so I'm personally quite satisfied with how things turned out.
Eren could not walk away from his desire of freedom by himself. U need to read the manga ova lost girls there’s only one thing that could save eren from himself and we see that happening in 138

Honestly speaking... I love the ending
It is so typical of AOT to break our hearts at the end. It would be very stupid and cliche if it ended any other way
Only problem I have is that, the thing about her observing Mikasa and trying to see if she could kill Eren should have been expanded on. I get that Ymir is a serious case of Mental issues so ofcourse all she did made sense to her (maybe not us, since technically we aren't as mental as her) but honestly speaking I like the ending. It blew mind and showed us an example of how so many major things could happen in the world all because of a generally minor reason but personally deep(forgive my grammar)
All in all, I'm satisfied... Maybe because I personally didn't have anyone in AOT I was fully supporting
I loved all the characters (maybe Eren ever more slightly). Still, I accept the way it ended
id rather have a stupid cliche if IT MAKES SENSE than a surprise twist with NO SENSE
@@TickleMeTner They probably gonna change it tho. There were loads and loads of complaints and reviews about it so they much they had to make a altered ending for it. Eren might die still as sad as it is because he was a tool to the world tbh. (He is now a bird? Birds are my favorite animals tho). I rather him be rebirth with no titan blood or memories and lived a normal happy life in a more open/freer world 50 years or so down the line. Everything else plays out the same but Eren gets what he wanted all along..A happy free-willed life Ig. That's how I would have wrote it at least
Honestly, 2 changes that could have made this make more sense in the "Freedom" thing with Ymir. 1.) she passes out after shifting back to a human and King Fritz finds her and promises to free her is she helps him. He then uses her, impregnates her, all that. Then, 2.) she is killed on accident or protecting her kids instead of him, and then you still have the love connection. You could even say that the love connection is what gives the descendants with Royal blood their power still, while Ymir still craves to be set free and have true freedom.
Maybe it would work, maybe not, but I honestly don't get why she went back to being his slave and then dying for him because she "loved" him.
I just can’t with the romance. After ignoring Mikasa’s obvious love for him for years, come to find out Eren loves her passionately but never tried to get with her because he’s too dedicated to his newfound goal of killing the whole world to (hopefully, unless he can actually see the future which I thought he couldn’t so no guarantees) make a couple of his friends look like heroes and then on top of the romance you’ve got Ymir who may or may not control everything but needs a quick one-sided convo with Eren who is maybe special or maybe not to talk her into breaking out of royal control (so lame) and then Mikasa is the special one because she can kill the special or not special one supposedly breaking free of her obsession with him even though she has to kill him and follow his plan exactly. Oh and she’s cool with it, kisses his freakin nasty head and never moves on???? And Ymir just heals Zeke whenever she pleases but doesn’t bother to save Eren even though we would have bought it because at that point the whole thing was so ridiculous and then you’re telling me Paradis gets bombed in the future because…..this is an incredible story that requires lots of UA-cam videos to make it work?
Bro I keep up constantly with your content and I think there are 2 or 3 other content videos you made that explain this in full detail ,the first time was in a 20min to almost an hour long video debunking how the attack on titan manga ended and why the ending made sense and the motive behind the ending because the author of the story got some sort of inspiration from Game of Thrones' series' ending ,and who is Ymir as well as the reasoning why Eren started the rumbling another video even included the haulucigen and its orgin where you made a recent video explaining in honestly the most legendary way the entire timeline of attack on titan.
Ngl I still can’t get over the ending 😭😭
I repeated quietly "why, why would you have to die." I cried like like a loner like I am now, it's the most depressing moment I've ever been
@@jeremygrandison1040 bruh grow up
No matter how many explanation videos I watch, the ending still doesn’t make sense to me. Credit to isayama for a fantastic series, just feel the ending was not satisfying at all.
Fair point.
The ending was not about being satisfying the ending is about a message a message that war never stops and even if eren kill Everyone the war will continue just imagine if eren kill everyone outside Paradis the titan curse would still exist that mean in less than 20 years voth eren and armin would be dead and a war for the 9 titans inside paradis will begin so yeah the ending was about ending it all or realizing you can't but still make the sacrifaces to get to that moment
💚
This video will change how you see eren. By invaderz
Mikasa, at the end, became a necrophile :/
She just kiss him goodbye what the hell man. The kiss is shared both in the path and in reality.
Look at the way Eren's lip is leaning forward he spend the last seconds of his life kissing her back.
When the love of your life just dies won't you at least kiss him/her one last time?
Yup
@@mayatokyo6979 Cut his head off and kissed him goodbye. Nice.
Im going to predict a plot twist... mikasa isnt going to kill eren because shes going to change him and then ymir is going to realize time can be changed and boom(im sorry if the last chapter is already out i dont read manga)
Rip
I honestly didn’t like the ending. After everything Eren went through they still did him dirty smh.
This video is 24 minutes, and I’m about to learn so much in this anime, this is about to become my most well-known anime
Am I the only one that yells the intro everytime I hear it? “Hello everyone and it’s time to go baaaaaalllllllsssssss deep” 🤣🤣
No
The time where eren finally doesn't forget his dream is going to be madness
What I find a real shame is the wasted potential of the titan powers. Imagine if someone other than a slave had found the original creature, some one with purpose, imagination and the will to do as they pleased with this power.
Very useful video, and somehow managed to make me calm down after eren's sad death.
You think that Ymir and eren made a deal in the paths? Like Ymir gave eren the power to destroy the world and make his friends the hero’s of the world and end the power of the Titans, but only if eren agreed to let mikasa make a choice for herself when the time came.
DUDE THE INTRO IS SO SMOOTH
The fact that the kids ate their mom freaks me out 🤢🤢🤢🤢
