      This is, of course, brilliant, the only problem is that we were told that in the path time does not move linearly and you see the future, past and present at the same time. Attention to the question: why should a person wait two thousand years for a specific event to happen in the PRESENT, if she should have already seen it in the FUTURE. And one more question: has not a single girl left a guy in these two thousand years in order to prove to Ymir that she is suffering from bullshit?

      Ymir came from a time of oppression and persecution.

    I don't think it was Eren who got rid of all Titans. If he had that power, I think he would've found a different solution. The reason the titans are gone is because Ymir can finally let go and move on after seeing the strength Mikasa had (that she doesn't, but wishes she did) to kill the one she loves the most. Ymir has been trying to connect to Mikasa the entire show, and Eren had to be pushed so far that Mikasa was forced to end his life for Ymir to get the strength to pass on. I think that Ymir was the true manipulator, using Eren to free her and Mikasa to show her letting go is possible. Which makes Eren's feeling of there is no other way, even though he truly doesn't want to commit genocide, all the more heartbreaking.

We humans just forget the lessons because we become complacent once we (re)learn them, expecting the next generation to just know them because we know them. The lessons get forgotten eventually because they're never explicitly taught, just implicitly applied. But if the lessons are never truly understood by those who didn't have to learn them the hard way then we must eventually go through the process of (re)learning them again, the hard way. It's basically the "hard times, strong men" etc phrase.

    I honestly can’t believe it’s over. I got old watching this, from 17, now 27. It feels like Attack on Titan was a part of me. Despite knowing how it was likely to end, I wished that Eren had his happy ending. Everyone called him a villain but it was clear that the sacrifice that he made was bigger than anyone could understand. Not only would he be forever seen as possibly the biggest genocidal maniac in all of history, he would eventually be forgotten. He saw the past and the future, he saw different outcomes with his own eyes and in the end, he wanted to uphold peace for as long as possible, even if he knew such peace would not be eternal. The ending where we see that perhaps everything will repeat again and Titans will come back, maybe the memories of Eren will serve as a warning for the future humanity. Or maybe not. Human nature is indeed a pesky thing.

      You're right. The story and philosophy of AoT turned out to be waaaay more deeper than any of us realised. It showed only a brief glimps of humanity's timeline. No matter what conflict seems relevant in the present, in the grand scale of things, all is forgottent and relived. I also feel that maybe Ymir went through the same thing. And maybe someone else before her. To her, the sacrifices she had to make maybe were the only way she could have attained any sort of peace, given her time and circumstance. I guess, maybe it's actually the story of peace makers and their limited role in extending the durations humans have between conflict. If you look at it from that perspective, the weight of sustaning an entire species has been on a chosen few. Like I said, reeeeaally deep. Truly one of the greatest stories of all time.

      I think the post credit scenes delicts a new cycle of attack on titan. The boy walking into the tree must be similar to the founder Ymir. This scene is almost identical to the scene of Ymir walking into the tree and getting the power of titans from that parasite.
      If that is true, there must have been someone similar to Eren in the past, who tried to change the world but failed to do so and got buried by a loved one like Mikasa.
      After that, that someone must have been morphed into a parasite (the original powerful form of titan) and Ymir must have gained her powers by the parasite.
      This shows that humanity can never live by without fighting and decimating each other, and how insignificant their (Eren's) will to change that is.
      I wonder if the Boy and the Dog both become founders and some new altered version of Titans come to being in which pet owners have an advantage.
      If my theory is correct, then Eren must be alive in the paths.

    I think Connie and Jean talking about burning of the bodies refers to the funeral after blocking Trost district with a boulder, not Erwin's charge. It's there where Jean makes his point about joining the Scouts, that is why Connie tells him that it's his fault they are stuck with this shitty job of saving the world. Because it was there Jean convinced him to join Scouts instead of MPs.

      This take is both unfair and inaccurate. The secretary was genuinely willing to give them a chance, as evidenced by both his speech and emptying his gun (his own method of self-defense) into the ground despite just receiving Marleyan reinforcements in a flanking position against the refugees. From his perspective, basically the second he offered peace, they turned into man-eating monsters who tried to keep the fight going, so his asking for confirmation that that shit isn’t going to happen again is entirely reasonable, and he even accepts Armin’s argument instead of shooting them as he easily could have.

I got the impression that almost all evil comes from religion. Notice the entire show was about “Island devils” and people wanting to be the kinfolk of a supreme being so they didn’t have to view the world around them as equal, and just like our world, men led the charge in failing to control their emotions to the expense of a baby wrapped in red being passed beside the edge of the earths sympathy.

    When Mikasa finally talks to ymir at the end it shows a clip of king fritz being assassinated while Ymir comforts her children. I believe she sent her memory of Mikasa killing Eren to her past and ended the curse. I also think there is a multiverse in all of this thus why this doesn't change their universe but it will change another universe as eren says he tested different realities but they all converge to the same outcome. Also further supported when ymir shows Mikasa a different timeline where she confessed her love to Eren and they lived his remaining 4 years in a cabin. There's an infinite number of universes for every action that could've been different and we just so happened to witness this universes version. I believe there's a universe where Mikasa and Eren do get their fairytale ending whether if it be from ymir ending the curse and letting king fritz be assassinated or from a different course of actions that brings peace to their world without mass genocide or war.

    I think that the child and his dog at the end kinda means that people with the same situations tend to come to the same conclusions. Just like Ymir and Eren wanted power that would help them fight off their oppressors or better their situations, every generation will circle back to the same conclusion when faced with the same challenges, thinking that that’s the solution to humanity’s problems. But just as we’ve all witnessed, as long humans coexist conflicts will never cease. Because we create our own problems that ends up killing us and restarting the cycle of violence again.
    And I also think that maybe that’s why Eren cried when telling Armin how messed up his head was because he could see an infinite amount of past, present and future. Because no matter how much he tried to come up with a solution that completely ended the cycle of violence, he just couldn’t. Everything just kept cycling back. The endless amount of past he saw might have showed him how repetitive history is and his present might’ve proved to him how ignorant we are and the endless future might’ve showed him how insignificant his actions would be in a long run but it would at least ensure enough freedom for a few generations. Maybe that’s why it kinda took a while before the cycle of violence repeated.
    Or maybe not 😅😅 but all in all it was an incredible piece of work and I’m happy to have been part of it. ❤❤❤

    I really liked the ending but I have a different interpretation of the final scene. Seeing the child find the opening to the tree similar to how ymir did really made me feel like Eren became the centipede thing that ymir found and that the cycle of titans would begin again. I mean the creator clearly made the opening of Erens tree look like Ymirs tree intentionally. It also begs the question of how many cycles of titans there has been I mean just because Ymir is the first we see in the story doesn’t mean she was the first ever. It could be she was just the latest at that time to discover the power after countless advanced civilizations wiped each other out and restarted just like we see in the final scenes of the series. This is however my interpretation and to me makes the most sense.

This was also more impactful (especially for Jean), because they had to burn the bodies of the comrades they shared a life with for the past years. And being one of those comrades being Marco, it makes more sense that they mean the burning of bodies after the attack on Trost District.

Can’t believe we’ve been able to see such a monumental story come to an end in the manga and the anime, one of the favourite pieces of writing, no matter the medium or genre. I remember people being upset with the original manga ending but I loved that there wasn’t an easy way to tie up the
    conflict. I found the anime ending gorgeous too and such a beautiful way to tie everything together. It was poignant and I appreciate that there are no easy answers in the story and the cycle of war is realistic. It’s devastating but still hopeful and I appreciate that AoT reflected that reality.

    The one thing i have not seen many or any mention is the similarities in the scenes of Armin stepping in between the conflicts when they have people pointing guns at them questioning their motives. Its an almost identical comparison to back in season 1 when Eren was being questioned at gunpoint if he was either a human or titan by a petrified squad leader fearing for their lives after seing Eren transform. Just like in this ending Armin removes his odm gear and weapons as he steps in between the two groups trying to rationalize and explain the situation while the main lead of the opposite side is requesting immediate proof right then and there of their intentions. Armin is no doubt a top notch negotiator thanks to Eren believing in him and jus like Hange stated; a bright mind continously persuing understanding which no doubt may not fully surpass Erwin's at that point but he is without a doubt one of the best in that regard. To listen and understand all sides and come to a conclusion that affects all parties is an absolutely heavy responsibility that he has done very well with up to this point. Just wish we couldve seen him more in that leader type roll within the show from like; the timeskip from season 3-4 and even after. The ending credit scenes mainly show Mikasa's interactions but it would be nice to see the political aspects of Ambassator Armin Arlert shown torwards the end 😊

    I began watching it back in 2013 when it was a series still unfolding, and I've kept up with it through all these years. And now, having reached the end, I'm struck by a profound sense of emptiness. The tears haven't been many, but the experience is undeniably bittersweet and filled with a lingering melancholy. Right now, words fail to capture the complexity of my feelings. I am caught between not feeling joyous nor sorrowful. This indescribable feeling that envelops me, this emptiness that fills me, what is its nature? The finale has echoes of Code Geass, but the impact of Attack on Titan resonates on a much deeper level for me. It's as if a significant phase of my own life has drawn to a close as I've watched these characters reach the end of their journeys. Letting go of them feels almost impossibly hard. Each nostalgic, tragic, and soul-stirring scene that was depicted has left a lasting mark, but what truly weighs on me is the future. Even though they experienced happiness, grew old, and met peaceful ends, there's a sorrow in acknowledging that their time has passed and with it, a piece of the world they shared with Eren. This portrayal of the future invokes a profound existential reflection. Consider the countless existences and narratives that have dissolved into the annals of history, with Eren and his comrades now amongst the forgotten. Entire generations who lived, loved, and suffered are now just echoes in the ruins or foundations they left behind. Their personal histories, like those of our cherished characters, will likely vanish, their names and tales becoming mere whispers that the winds of time fail to carry forward.
    it adds a layer of heartbreaking feeling to their story-knowing that their time with him was limited to less than 15 years, depending on who it was. Just a brief chapter in the entirety of their new long lives. It's heartbreaking to consider that as time passed, the vividness of his face and voice might have faded even in Mikasa's memories, making it seem as if he were becoming more of a distant dream than a reality they once lived. This brief intersection of lives in the grand tapestry of their world makes the end that much more impactful. The happy scenes of their childhood, bring a stark, aching clarity to the fleeting nature of their relationships, and the realization that the moments we often take for granted are, in fact, incredibly finite and precious. Eren wanted his close friends to cherish these moments and create even more in a new world, that he created for them...
    Reflecting on Eren, his break down was a biggest surprise to me in this ending. Realizing that he was, in essence, still just a naive 19 year old struggling to find a solution, he just couldn't find a better way to resolve all of this mess. People may have found his emotional breakdowns funny, but these moments actually reveal the enormous burden he carried as an ordinary individual compelled to make extraordinary sacrifices for the sake of his friends' futures. It underscores the depth of his character and the immense pressure he faced in his quest to secure a brighter reality for those he cared about. He sacrificed whole world for them, but they chose to safe the world over him..
    In the final episodes dialogues between Armin and Zeke, they touch upon their most personal memories, happiness, and raise similar questions that become a kind of answer to the search for the meaning of life and all the efforts they made. For them, to have lived was not in vain, if only for such moments. Their lives held meaning, even if only for those simple memories. Eren is ready to endlessly destroy humanity in these cycles, all for the happiness of Mikasa and Armin. And what was most touching to me, is that his happiness is just as simple, and it lies in the happiness of those he loves..
    This is a tragic story of a ordinary boy trapped by the inherent vices of human nature, compelled to engage in the very act-war-that humanity perpetually initiates. His story is a somber illustration of the cycle of violence that often defines human history and the individual lives caught in its tumultuous waves. Perhaps wars are an inevitable fate of the human race, similarly to how Eren's destiny will never allow him to connect with his friends. This is a tale of the sorrow of fate, where Eren falls into its terrible captivity. A tragedy that leads us through the thorns of fate, where the hero becomes hostage to a false freedom, it becomes his burden, and the meaning of his existence intertwines with the purpose of freeing Ymir from her chains. The greatest sadness of this story is not found in the military horrors, but in the relentless fact of fate: Eren and his loved ones are destined to become victims of eternal separation. Especially Mikasa. They are fated to remain apart, even in the afterlife - if such a place exists, Eren is destined for hell.. Fate denies them the joy of a simple life under the same sky.

    The entire point of AoT was that there was no real villain, just different views and agendas people were fighting for. That's why Eren chose to become the main villain to unite everyone together by fighting the common enemy. Even tho he knew that the humanity will eventually do the same thing with wars continuing over and over, at least he wanted for his friends to live a peaceful life in the "time of piece". The ending credits also showed that what he saw was true, the human nature would always find a way to make war and life will always find its meaning. Therefore Eren is the real hero, well, an antihero and one of the most interesting characters ever written.

He tried to persuade himself that he was doing all these things for his friends but that wasn’t true and he admitted it. He didn’t try to bring peace to world. He knew it wouldn’t happen. But he could at least bring that peace to his friends and buy some time for them to live as they wanted.

    The giant tree at the end looks identical to the one seen during Ymir’s backstory. It is same tree that the Hallucigenia (founding titan, source of all life itself) was underneath two thousand years ago. The modern tree is the one where Eren used to sit as a child, it is also his final resting place. Now because he was buried there and because the tree grew incredibly tall, like unnaturally means that the founding titan, Hallucigenia or well life lives on! What is presumably Mikasa’s grandchild or even great grandchild stumbles upon this tree and if the child were to walk in, the cycle would repeat itself. A new Ymir is born. So the tree represents the cycle of revenge and bloodshed that seemingly was broken piecing itself back together.

    I think the problem a lot of people have with the ending is the fact that Eldia is attacked in the future due to Eren not completing 100% of the Rumbling. However, the author’s intent was to demonstrate that no matter what, humanity will always fight against each other. Hypothetically speaking, even if Eren did complete the Rumbiling and only Eldians exist, they would eventually find a reason to fight in a long enough timeline. The case that Eldians fighting Eldians is better than the world fighting Eldians makes no sense. At the end of the day, people will always fight people regardless of their shared or unshared blood/ancestry. The point of Attack on Titan is to show the viewers that humanity will always fight itself - whether it be by difference of race or not. The world is cruel and no Rumbiling could ever stop human hate from propagating itself again in the future. We can see it with our world today, there’s been two world wars already and the fighting still continues.

    A couple points:
    1, Historia can't continue Eren's rumbling, it has to be a royal blood "titan", not any royal blood. In the past, Historia and her father can activate Eren's memory ability, but for true power of the coordinates, only Dina Fritz and Zeke. That's why Eren is not willing to sacrifice Historia, turning her into a titan, plus people inside walls didn't have extra titan injections until very late in story.
    2, It's not Eren's final action that made titan power vanish from this world. It was Ymir's last action, Eren basically enlightened her through Mikasa's example, that's it's Ok for Ymir to give up love, give up immortality, and give up 2000 years of services. Titan power vanished along with Ymir herself, until the Hallucinate creature find another host some a hundred years later.
    Besides Eren, King Karl Fritz and Zeke had their own plans to break the cycle, more suicidal approach, and that doesn't make Zeke less of a jerk.

      Thank you! I was so confused when they mentioned Eren made all the titans disappear. If that was the case, then he could have done that long back. Makes sense that Ymir was the one to release all the titans.

    started watching this when I was eleven-twelve and now i'm twenty. followed this anime for a long time and the ending was of course inevitable but also saddening because attack on titan has finally come to an end. i think it depicted perfectly, how the cycle of war continues on regardless. bittersweet that eren was only prolonging that cycle so his friends could live peacefully till they eventually passed as well. beautiful story telling. i will miss all of this so much, i feel like i'm going through the five stages of grief.

    I don't think the "flashback" with Mikasa and Eren was some "alternate timeline" or reality. Nor was the memory with Armin. Based off what is said in the conversation with Armin I took it as these were memories of conversations that happened which came back when Eren died. He had the conversation with Armin in the paths when he almost died on the boat and likely had the conversation with Mikasa but then held back that memory from her so that she would hate him enough to kill him. It seemed to me that prior to Eren truly setting off down the path of the rumbling he went to each of his friends and confessed certain things to them which he then made them forget so they would be willing to stop him. Maybe I'm misreading that but it doesn't make much sense for there to be "alternate" timelines. To me it makes more sense that they really happened.

    • @SavedCurls7
      @SavedCurls7 Рік тому +24

      It's not so much an alternate timeline, just a time outside of time. In "the paths" time works differently. 4 seconds could equate to 4 years, which is the time Eren and Mikasa spent together. It happened, as he holds a lot of power in "the paths". It's just a different place, where they had more time together.

      @@SavedCurls7 that's a plausible explanation. I thought it actually took place before season 4 but after rewatching and rereading there are those specific quotes about the war with the Marleyeans that still confuse me. It does seem to be some kind of alternative time. It just more sense in my understanding of people's "memories" coming back that it really happened. Perhaps like you said Eren brought Mikasa into the Paths and that's where they experienced this "memory" like he did with Armin. I was just under the assumption that Armin had his conversation with Eren in the paths because he almost died on the boat. I suppose there's no reason Eren couldn't have pulled Mikasa into the Paths though.

      Eren took them all into the paths at different times during the Rumbling but wiped their memories so that they would still kill him, and his death brought the memories back. Because Mikasa is an Ackermann, she can't have her memory wiped so he waited until right before she killed him to take her into the paths, and then again just as he died.
