The first one in 2000 years that even looked at her as a person and not a thing to be used. That's rough to think about. Zeke was no better too cause all he wanted was to use her
@@darknesswave100 Eren looked at her as a person, but he definitely intended to use her as well. His intentions were no better than Zeke's, he's just the only one willing to show Ymir some respect and kindness.
But, can we acknowledge Eren saying "Yo, Zeke, why did you leave my memories? We haven't even gotten to the part where I eat dad." He just said it so casually. Like he was upset they were missing the good part of a movie.
@Amvs Plays oooohhhhhh damn, I almost forgot the Dina part broooooooooo. He's like "hey, your mama ate my mama and I ate our dad whom you're so attached to and obsessed with and just now when you reunited with him I wanted to show you how I ate him soon after L.O.L" Bro Eren's sadism on a whole other level.
Also the fact that the stories from marley's side that titans killed their ancestors and eldia's side that titans build bridges and homes were true is so awesome
Both were true, but that’s literally how colonization and imperialism works. It’s like, “Yeah, we’re exploiting your lands and people for our gain, but we also built infrastructure here to do it so like…” The Eldian empire gives me British Empire in Africa vibes.
Also Kruger adding "some say Ymir got in touch with the source of all organic matter" which is debatable whether or not that parasite could be considered as such but it still might be true nonetheless. So yeah everyone was right
I think it's implied that Eren and Zeke spent years going through the memories of Grisha. They spent an insane amount of time in there, yet it all happened in the single instant that Eren's head came into contact with Zeke. That just shows how insane the time dilation is for the paths. A single instant can feel like years. And Ymir spent 2,000 years there, all alone, creating titans. It has to have felt like millions upon millions of years for her. It's truly pitiful, I feel so bad for her.
@@soundofpeace6539 every eldian so far in the show have been a descendant of ymir. they're the grandkids of the grandkids of ymir. including eren and everyone from paradis.
@@christian6100 But then what's the distinction between those of royal blood and normal eldians? Because Ymir had king fritz' kids, so if every eldian from that point is a descendant of ymir, then doesnt that mean they all have royal blood? I'm confused.
Fun Fact: The reason why Eren’s voice actor sounded older was because the voice actor lost his voice during his recording. And decided to use his broken voice for the last scene.
2000 years in our time, now imagine how much that translates to in the Path's place where she had to build/heal every titan that ever existed, madness.
@@justsomegirlwithahat333 no doubts there. but i was pointing out that they chose two different way to end the cycle. but if eren did not choose to do this the cycle in there world will still not end because world percives them as the 'bad guys'.
@@justsomegirlwithahat333 but naruto's not promising even the fighting ends the cycle of hatred will never end and never will be there's always a grain of hatred that will never perished. That's why eren one is more promising LMAO. But the right thing is to Naruto ofc lol
It's weird that people thought this was out of character for eren. I mean, since the beginning of the series he really wanted to wipe out his enemies :p
@@rickchakraborty2087 it's called development. It would be out of character for Eren if he was that 15y/o kid. It could even be considered out of character for adult Eren well in the sense that he is forced to do this and not because he entirely desires to. But spoiler . . . He does in fact now wants to do it
A lot of people don’t pay much attention or really think about the plot and characters in aot, they kind of just take it as face value and in the moment (which I why a lot of people hated the ending. It wasn’t perfect, but I’ve seen a lot of confused people that don’t know why they’re confused).
Yeah I mean, I think the last time we have seen this Eren was on season 2 last episode: screams, rage, destruction, self mutilation... Plus, Eren wanting to destroy the entire world was already heard at 1st season when Eren goes berserk mode.
People think Grisha started this story, but in actuality it was a bunch of fat little piggies. Also, Isayama with the masterful subversion - you would think Ymir was a great goddess, but she was just a little slave girl that cared too much.
@@daveadoforblesse9710 Freeing the pigs she felt sorry for. Then following the King's orders even after almost getting killed by his orders. Also, taking the spear for him - although you could say she did it in a way to kill herself but also protect the King.
@@daveadoforblesse9710 what I feel is like she wanted to feel familial relationship. U can see her watching the kiss like she wanted that. So i guess she wanted to be loved even if the man was the one who torchered her. She just loved king shitz too much.
@@chriswave1992 oh ok. I took her following the king’s order were Due to her slave mindset and her being a child probably payed a part in that also (easily molded) and I took her taking the spear as a way to kill herself. Should’ve paid more attention to her reasons for the pigs. Thx for the explanation
It's crazy to think about how the Attack Titan is a manifestation of Ymir's feeling. She didn't have the mental ability because she was trapped in a thick layer of fear, but her deep feeling's was really strong. All it needed was to resonate with the right person. If you think about what Erin was saying as a kid, when he was saying that he felt trapped within the walls and it wasn't freedom, you can see that he was Ymir that wasn't trapped in fear.
I know this comment is really old, but I just wanted to say that I don't think people talk enough about the point you bring up. On the surface Eren is the MC reacting to the world around him, and then in the second layer the twist is he's actually a psychopathic villain and puppetmaster who wants to kill people for the sake of doing so, even if he also wants to save his home, but if you dig even deeper then ultimately Ymir and her trauma are at the core of everything. Eren did what he did because that's what he wanted to do. He was basically a more self-aware version of the fat cunt that fed Grisha's sister to his son's dogs: to both of them peace was just not a suitable existence, and if they didn't have a good excuse to do what they wanted they would manufacture one. I think Eren's state of mind is something that anyone who is self-aware and has had issues with addiction or compulsive personality traits can empathize with (the duality, not the murderous desire). I liken it to being Angel from Buffy, where you're cursed to have this monster inside of you that you hate, but which is still you, and that means you do want the things that the monster wants, but you also deeply do not want them, and when you give into them it's like you're a passenger in your own body, but then you have to live with those memories. Eren yearned for the bloodshed he ended up committing while also being deeply ashamed of it. He did what he did because it was in his nature to do so, but it was only in his nature to do so because Ymir manufactured him that way. Ymir is the alpha and the omega and everything that happens in the titan era is her doing, even if it wasn't intentional. As the mechanics of the AoT world are presented to us, Ymir essentially created a 2000-year closed loop the moment she came into contact with the worm. I assume it's that moment as titan bodies are made in the paths, and we're only ever shown Ymir making them, so I assume even for her own titan transformations she was dipping into the paths for however long it took to make her titan body. If that's the case then she begins her existence outside of time and space at that point, but even if it's not the case then it just pushes the closed loop back 13 years to when she physically dies. All titan powers are just pieces of Ymir's power that she is granting to people. Ymir's powers were given to her by the worm, but even though the worm is shown to have some level of agency of its own, the ultimate arbiter of how those powers are used when the two are combined is only ever shown to be Ymir herself. So Ymir is the source of all titan powers, which we know includes control of Eldians on a cellular level. The only reasonable conclusion I can see from that is that all Eldians are, effectively, extensions of Ymir in a very real sense. She's like one of those trees that looks like an entire forest while actually only being one tree that is just diving and sprouting new trunks over and over. This very imagery is even used with the paths being represented as Ymir being the trunk and every Eldian being a branch off of it. Ymir's story is like a very long-form version of the story we're shown following Eren. The past and the future have two-way causality and everything is set in stone. Eren only sees his future self through his father's memories because his future self had already done that, which led to the events which made that viewing possible via Zeke taking him into his father's memories through the paths. Ymir spends 2000 years (in real time) unintentionally therapizing herself with the multitudinous branches of her psyche which the Eldian race represents as a whole. Her final breakthrough is with Eren (who is part of Ymir) finally treating her(self) as a human with agency, and with Mikasa choosing to go against someone that she had the same deep commitment to as Ymir did to Karl Fritz. Which, I actually think the "causality" of those two is reversed and Mikasa stopping Eren showed Ymir that she did have agency, which as a revelation was expressed through Eren treating her as a human and not a slave. In this closed loop that is, in essence, a single moment with no real causality, Ymir both began and ended the loop instantly *and* over nearly infinite time. It took everything that unfolded in real time over 2000 years for her to heal her trauma, but she couldn't undo it both because it would cause a paradox and because everything already happened. By the time Ymir gained agency over her trauma she no longer had her powers, because those powers ended with the resolution of her trauma. (spoiler tag for Three Body Problem) There is an official-unofficial final book to the Three Body Problem that has some interesting expansions on the concepts of the story. One is a revelation that one of the characters has over how time functions with regards to dimensions. In the series the most devastating type of offensive attack is like a dimensional extinguisher, where it basically destroys one of the dimensions of a particular section of spacetime, which consequently destroys any life reliant on the dimensions that existed, as well as "salting the field" so that no such life can ever grow there again. It turns out that the universe previously had 10 dimensions, and over time had been reduced down to the ones we occupy. Some of the most ancient species that had figured out how to adapt to lower dimensions were even trying to extinguish every dimension with the hopes of the universe resetting itself to its original 10. The reason it even started dropping from 10 is like a sci-fi take on genesis. This character learns that basically the speed of light (and information) is only capped as it is because of the dimensional state we are in. He asks this computer or whatever how long this iteration of the universe lasted, and it gives the current estimated age of the universe. He then asks how long the previous iteration (with more dimensions) lasted, and it's a much shorter amount of time. This progresses until the 9-dimensional universe is revealed to have lasted like .3 seconds, and finally the 10-dimensional universe lasted for nearly infinity. It lasted for no time and also forever, and as all information was instantly propagated throughout the whole, the concept of cause and effect didn't really have any meaning. Everything that happened in the eternity of the 10-dimensional universe happened in the same instant and the entire universe was essentially one entity that vibrated with the same song. The first collapse from 10 to 9 is caused by "The Lurker", which is the Lucifer corollary; one consciousness of the infinite number of consciousnesses that constituted the whole (with the whole amounting to God) rebelling against this harmony, and succeeding because *"If a child still within the womb decided to attack the mother from within, how could the mother have been prepared for it?"* This original infinity is referred to as the Edenic Age, which is another blatant biblical reference, and my contention is that the titan era is like a funhouse mirror version of it. Instead of being the beginning of everything, it's somewhere in the middle and collapses with no meaningful, lasting impact (we're explicitly shown the cycle of violence pressing on in the end). Instead of beginning with an all-knowing being comprised of an infinity of individuals which falls apart into disorder and ignorance due to the rebellion of one, it's a single, ignorant consciousness that explodes into a multitude in its ignorance, and through that multitude gains awareness, and through this awareness ends the age. Ymir being simultaneously a type of god while also being a nearly complete slave to her nature further fits within the generic theme exploring nature, nurture, determinism, and agency.
Well S1 Eren didnt know Titan were humans trapped inside a titan. When he finally realized, his objective changed, it wasnt the Titans that were his enemy, it was humanity.
@@povang In the end, he didn't change much even in that regard. He wanted to murder everyone threatening Paradis. First that were the titans, then once he figured it all out it became the world itself.
"You’re not a slave, you’re not a God either, you’re just a human being." This isn't manipulation. Just the opposite. He is letting her choose freedom.
Y'all have known Eren's resolve to "kill ALL of his enemies" since episode one. It shouldn't be surprising that when he finally achieves a means to do so, he fully exploits it.
yup, i just found out this when i rewatched some eps from the 1st season. i appreciated the story more because eren was already saying things we could not understand at first, but now it all made sense why. isayama is a real genius
It should be obvious from the start lol. He literally said he'll kill every last one who threatens his freedom and treats him like cattle. Since day 1. People just mistake it as a child's words but it was the very core of Eren's being. He even killed those men kidnapping Mikasa. Eldians or not.
@@mandu18 "Im going to kill you all" - Eren, Season 1, Episode 9 "I will destroy the entire World" - Eren, Season 1, Episode 25 With the power of Hindsight it seems so obvious lol^^ Re-reading Aot with future context is so much fukcing fun
I mean he is literally the "advance/attack" titan, so it only makes sense. Gotta love how they kept carrying that theme through the story for such a long time.
That’s probably cause it was yesterday for me, I binge watched the whole series yesterday since it was a snow day, got through season 1 and 3/4 of season 2
@@toecollector9329 it would result in the eventual extinction of eldians it is still just a prolonged genecide the mistake people make watching this show is when they try to deem one side right and the other wrong. And one side hero’s and the other villains. When it simply just doesn’t work out
yes, it's not only eren's, it's 2000 years of resentment embodied in the form of rumbling. I'm not saying that it's right, but when we look into it from this perspective, we kinda understand why it's the "only" way eren/the attack titan/ymir deems appropriate.
Yeah let's hope later on the writer doesn’t do anything stupid like make the poor girl legitimately love her evil abuser and she never moved on from it until now.
Just see it like this, Ymir endured all that messed up stuff and pain both physcially and mentally as a child and when she did gain the power of the founding titan, she never got freed from being a slave. In fact after her death, she continued being a slave for 2000 years waiting for someone to free her. That someone would be the successor of the Attack Titan because the AT was the little free will she had left. She could've used it to rebel against King Fritz but couldn't make herself to do it due to Stockholm Syndrome (she was attracted to him despite of the sick things he did to her). This is why you can see why the AT's goal is to always seek freedom and never obey the ideology of the self-righteous king (King Fritz) because Ymir gave the AT that free will to gain freedom (for her). She waited 2000 years for that someone to finally free her from being a slave to the first king and that someone was Eren Yeager. Also a fun fact here, that centipede looking creature which gave Ymir the power of the Titans DID in fact existed in real life million of years ago. Its called a "Hallucigenia" or also known as "Spine Worm" and is a fascinating creature to learn about.
I used to pass by fayteg slaves in my way to school in my hometown, they were laying under the shades of trees playing Rshoum to kill time till they die of age1😭😭😭 this episode reminded me of them.
@@burhancityreal I sighed a bit deep into this to see what I said regarding was true at least close to the truth. So far, this might the accurate info regarding the whole idea why Ymir did all of this and why Eren did all of this. Again this is just an oversimplified version of it lol.
The Attack Titan always fights for freedom, and finally after 2000 years, Eren is the one who finally connected with Ymir Fritz, the original founder. This scene sent chills down my spine.
I feel like a lot of people miss that. Just because he addressed ALL subjects of Ymir doesn’t mean he intends to save them. Eren’s fighting for Paradis and that’s it anyone outside the walls, Eldian or not, is getting stomped.
If I was Eren I would have told them, if you're a subject of Ymir you better find a way to make it to the safe zone, jump over the storm or something nigga I don't know, just get out of there or it's your ass
4 main points I wanna convey: 1. I believe Ymir jumped in front of the spear because she is so enslaved by the king, she will do anything, even sacrifice herself. Which is in relation to point 2; 2. She is enslaved by the king, so she will even do his bidding after death, for eternity. (make titans) And also why she only "listens" to those of royal blood, not because of some construct that binds her, but purely from a human mindset of being enslaved. 2a. However, she is put into the Paths by this bidding of the king, so perhaps it is a power that the king has over her. 3. The scene where they were having Ymir buffet, was shown in S2's end credits.
Crazy to think that chapter 1 was literally called "To You, 2,000 Years From Now" and now we got to see "From You, 2000 Years Ago". Top tier story telling from Isayamas end.
@@him7053 I may be wrong, but I think that eren sent her all of his memories so she could see his life, hence “to you from 2000 years from now” and then I think Ymir sent him her memories from what she went through and that’s why it’s now called “from you, 2000 years ago”. I think that’s why Eren is able to connect with her at the end, saying how she’s not a god but just a human being.
Easily the most saddest & brutal AOT backstory "Everyone was slave to something" Kenny's dying words hits even harder now that we know that even Ymir, the most revered or feared being in this whole AOT world was a slave all along and it dictated her own pain & suffering
Yes. Everyone in this show is just pushed to certain decisions due to their situation, which is caused by the mistakes of the past. The world is stuck fearing Eldia, and Eldia is stuck fearing the world. So it would be natural to want to kill the other. And, in a sense, everyone is a slave to fear and their situation
Even Eren it's a slave of his mindset and ideology of seeking for freedom, ironically and in a poetic way, was shown that with Eren's final form, being a giant titan cage made of giant ribs
Clarification, Eren is not gonna help the eldians living in other countries, he is only saving eldians in paradis, so basically, if it's not in paradis, it's gonna die.
Actually, I believe the other episode where he almost lost his voice was on Scream, the final episode of S2, when he begins screaming to himself saying he is useless after Hannes dies.
This is the pinnacle of perfect writing, because the very first episode of the series’ called “To You, in 2000 Years” and this closes the loop with “From you, 2000 years ago”. It also moved me to tears to think of Ymir as nothing but a slave for most of her life and even in death she couldn’t escape the orders of the royal family, so she looked for someone, anyone, to come and set her free.
It’s crazy when you think about how long Ymir was plotting. Like she crafted every Titan. Including the ones that had free will and specific abilities. So at some point in her LONG time of relentless crafting she figured that, in order to put an end to it all, she made a Titan that can pass its memories back and forth through time. Wild.
@@coyoted9251 She did plot. -- Spoilers underneath, use wisely -- In the penultimate chapter, Eren imply to Armin that Ymir sent the titan that ate his mom. And that, at some point, she made sure to spare Bertholdt, etc... She did scheme here and there.
@@gerardlacroix6015 wait last I checked, AND THIS IS A SPOILER FOR EVERYONE ELSE…….. , Eren was the one who “directed” Dina into eating his own mother so that he could ensure that both he will never forget the pain of being cattle in a cage, and that Armin would be the next Colossal
Mappa just keeps taking W’s😂 the whole episode was great! Ymir’s story,Eren escaping the chains,eren’s message,the walls breaking. Everything was amazing!
This episode is the best visually of season 4 by far. This episode Mappa really stoped it up, especially in the CGI. Like look at this compared to the playdo Titans we were getting before in season 4
Episode 1 - "To You, in 2000 years" - Episode 80 - "From you, 2000 years ago". Everything comes full circle now, Amazing how this story is written and this year we will witness one of the best anime end.
What's the alternative? We can see it even in real life today. Sometimes when an idea gets so entrenched, there's nothing that can be said to get someone to change their mind about that idea. Sometimes peace really is just another word for surrender.
@@JeshuaSquirrel so you mean eldians are Germans and let's say Hitler ran after world war(just like eldians ran into paradis and made walls after the war) would the world just leave him there? And now Hitler want's revenge and is gonna clap everyone cause mad people hate him?😂
For those who didn't know, Eren's voice actor/seiyuu made a twett commenting that in this chapter he almost left him without a voice... To see what it means to love your work and give everything for them is just great!
I keep remembering what Reiner said in season 2. "Out of all the possible people that the coordinate could have ended up with, it had to be the worst possible person. It had to be you Eren."
Reiner has legitimately low-key become the protagonist of this story. He just wants stuff to be over, he's constantly diving to save kids in danger. If it weren't for the fact that he technically helped kick this whole thing off, I could truly love him. (Edit: I am aware that I technically mis-used the term "protagonist". Being a hero or good person does not necessarily make you a protagonist. There are plenty of villain protagonists just like there are many hero antagonists, based on the perspective of the story. I'd just change the wording, but I don't want to be one of those people that makes a thread make no sense after the fact. Thank you to everyone who politely pointed this out.)
The fact that this show didn’t really make the beginning of the rambling the epic point of the episode shows how deep this story is. They just organically, quietly, began the rambling lol.
"All this happened in one moment?" Have to remember that zeke said in the Paths that time moves fast and slow at the same time. So all that stuff in there happened in an instant in real time. So as soon as Zeke caught Eren's severed head all that stuff in the Paths happened in probably less than a few seconds
@@kastang1444 Wondering how anime onlys are going to react. Everything up until now is amazing. Now it is going to build up towards the ending, and if its the same ending of the manga, well. Sheesh.
I don't fw Eren's plan but I understand the logic of it and the emotion behind it. He had no other option and he was backed into a corner on what to do. However, the plan itself is tragic and violent. Anw, in Sheera we Trust :)
If the First King of the Walls had just said, “Yo, Eldia was wrong, and we should work together to re-build,” instead of running to the island and threatening the entire world so he could “live in peace” without actually recognizing and repairing the harm, deluding himself on some type of “suffering=penance” BS, none of this would have happened. I blame the First King of the Walls tbh.
@@JCmud351 I don't think it would be that easy for the victims of Eldia to just accept a truce from the oppressor themselves. Their crimes are too big for firsthand victims to just forgive with the promise of rebuilding things together. It's easier in Eren's generation bc none of them did those original crimes and none of them were firsthand victims. But I understand your sentiment.
@@justnattnatt I’m not saying they’re accepting a truce. I’m saying if they actually made a real agreement/treaty like how wars actually get done, things would be different. If Eldia had even just started with liberating their colonies and promising reparations, shit would be very different. Running away and leaving things unresolved was what got shit messed up. Cause now Marley’s like, “Bet, all of the Eldian empire should be ours.” It’s just a mess. ESPECIALLY the. Threatening The Rumbling. That only cements you further as the imperialist bad guys.
@Macho Manstud Fritz told Tybur the plan and let them come up with the Helos story. Willy Tybur did not tell the world/regular citizens of Marley until the Festival where he reveals “the truth.” That’s why Gabi and the Liberio Eldians see the other Eldians as bad. I’m saying in real life, when formerly colonizing powers just say, “Welp, I’m gonna dip!” shit is never that sweet for the country they dipped from. You ravished a place and built resentment and have done nothing tangible to address it. Literally if Karl Fritz had like made some move toward actual reparation instead of locking himself up on Paradis and dragging innocent people into his personal N’s “penance” or whatever, things would be different. And then you get the, “Why should I apologize for something my ancestors did?” argument because no one has made a move to change anything and people now are having to shoulder the effects.
The Attack Titan's memories led it's holders to "that one moment"... The first time in 2000 years that an Eldian commoner could finally overthrow the monarchy. That self-righteous first king of the walls couldn't see that the commoners were always the victims of the Eldian nobility that committed all the atrocities that the Edlian Empire deserved punishment for. Eldian commoners were just cannon fodder for all those centuries and they were owed justice. Eren just made sure that Grisha delivered justice.
When Eren points across the sea and asks "If I kill all my enemies over there, will we finally be free?" It looks like he's asking Armin and Mikasa. But what if he's asking his future self? The last moment of doubt he ever had in the future
Great episode! I love how you don't see Ymir's eyes until the end to show her humanity. She's such an interesting character and her backstory was done perfectly. It's also interesting how Eren tells her to go free while Zeke keeps trying to enslave her. When you think that all the titans come from Ymir, it makes sense that the Attack Titan is some part of her psyche. Maybe it's her repressed desire for freedom.
In the white flower with 9 petals only one is bloodied, perhaps it is the part of her that is against everything that has happened to her. "The Attack Titan" inside her.
I know this comment is meant as a joke but this wouldn't solve anything. There would still be conflict based on ideals. Like how the Yeagerists were formed to rebel against the royal government
Fun fact, the anomaly that Ymir merged with resembles a real life prehistoric worm called Hallucigenia that existed in the Cambrian period. There are videos about it on UA-cam and damn near every comment is an AOT reference. It's the funniest shit I've ever seen on this site.
Pretty impressive how an episode with comparatively so little dialogue can still be so impactful for the whole story. Great visual storytelling in this one and the OST was on point as always. I can’t wait to see the Hallucigenia videos on UA-cam get flooded with AoT fans again ^^
It’s because it’s payoff. The Rumbling was built up for a while now. The Vow renouncing war was the last thing to go and then Eren convinced Ymir. It’s a Chekhov’s gun.
I can't believe Zeke told him "You're as powerless as ever." Like, bruh. That's literally what Eren has been beating himself up for all these years. Not being able to save his Mom, not being able to save Hannes, not being able to save everyone... And Zeke had to say those exact choice of words. Fired Eren up. Edit cause someone is saying something in the replies: I *am* a manga reader. I know what actually happened to Carla. I was just _pointing out the choice of words_ by Zeke, and its parallel of Eren blaming himself in S1&2.

“Hear me, Subjects of Ymir. My name is Eren Jaeger. I’m using the Founding Titan’s power to address all Subjects of Ymir. I’ve undone the hardening of Paridis Island’s walls and the titans buried within have begun their march. My goal is to protect the people of Paridis Island-the place I was born. However, the world wants to exterminate my people-and not just on the island. They will not stop until every last Subject of Ymir is dead. I refuse to let them. The Wall Titans will trample every inch of the world beyond this island until every last life beyond our shores is wiped out”. Hands down the best monologue I’ve heard.
@Dank Waifu it’s the best when you consider everything leading up to it and surrounding it, you are just hearing the words but not understanding them, that is your problem.
@@War_Maker couldn’t be further from the truth, manga readers are the ones who started calling it peak fiction and to be a manga reader you’d have already have to have seen a good number of anime to move onto manga. That’s more so One Piece, My Hero, and Demon Slayer fans who’ve only seen like 2 anime and call them the best. To understand and enjoy something as complex as AoT, you’d need prior experience
i wonder how Isayama thought up all this story as a whole. it's just extremely detailed and crazy how everything fits so well, i mean, you get to understand little details that looked random in season 1 on the freaking season 4...like BRO 4 SEASONS LATER, i wonder if izayama just planned every little thing ahead of time and decided the end and everthing, and then started making ch 1, like...DAMN, HOW? JUST HOW?? IT' SO PERFECTLY DONE, THE NARRATION AND THE WHOLE PSYCHOLOGICAL, SOCIAL, POLITICAL, SUPERNATURAL CONTEXT IS SO WELL EXPLAINED AND SET IN THE STORYLINE ...HE'S A GENIUS!!
I've read several comments and apparently, he had the entire story planned and just made a few changes here and there. He wanted to kill everyone but changed it later to what we know now. I have a lot of respect for authors that are able to have an ending thought out before starting, I hope he releases something after AoT.
In the manga, it shows a girl with shoulder length hair and a scarf saying, "See you later Eren," then he wakes up and asks Mikasa if her hair got longer.
"It was not added in the anime but in the first chapter of the attack on titan manga, after Eren woke up from his dream, he asked Mikasa why her hair was suddenly so long..."
Could be that the anime started differently for a reason. Manga Eren woke up sitting against the tree, calm. Anime Eren woke up lying down, panicked. Both seemed to have a vision of different things. I see you, Isayama.
Ymir is such a tragic character all she wanted was to live a happy life and then she got her entire village massacred, enslaved, forced to have children with the person who did this to her and just when she thought she had a chance to be free by letting herself die from the spear she gets eaten by her daughters only to then continue being a slave for 2,000 more years
She could've ended it with her power but she chose to support Fritiz and help him enslave and murder other people. She had the power to stop it all. She's bad for not doing so.
@@PiecefulKaos she was a slave all her life and had that mentality pounded into her I can imagine that it's not an easy thing to break so how is this her fault?
For those who are wondering why Ymir obeyed Eren when she should have obey Zeke: For 2000 years, Ymir was treated as a tool for the founding titan's power instead of a person. Eren was the only one who gave her freedom, he didn't command her, he gave her the freedom to choose what she wants. Ymir felt like a human being for the first time in forever, especially when Eren hugged her. That is why she looked shocked and cried because the feeling of being treated as a normal human being instead of a slave is so rare to her, it felt too unreal. Therefore, knowing that she has the freedom to choose what she wants now, I guess she sided with Eren not because she agreed with Eren's plan, she's just tired of obeying people with royal blood commanding her like she's a slave to them.
@@marcuslim7640 wdym? Did u not watch the episode? Did u not hear what Eren said to Ymir? Shes been waiting for Eren the whole time so ofcourse she was agreeing with wht Eren's tryna do lol
@@Buckheimer I thought Ymir was waiting for someone to set her free, it could be anyone, not specifically Eren, just someone who could set her free. Eren didn't say that Ymir was waiting for him, he said that Ymir was waiting for someone. Ymir probably didn't even know the one who would set her free was Eren. Correct me if I'm wrong tho
It's interesting how the King was referring to her as "My Slave, Ymir" the same way Premier Zachery referred to Eren as "Our Titan, Eren". It's also interesting how Zachery and the Eldian King look kinda similar.
There is a lot of physical similarities between some people, yeah. It's like at one time, there was some theory that Ymir was a long lost relative of the Jeager family, as all their titans forms ( Grisha, Ymir, Eren, Zeke ) share some physical similarities on the faces. It wasn't, but the theory was interesting nonetheless. It's like the brother of Rod Reiss ressembling Armin a lot.
It really comes down to the fact that Marley had the choice to end the cycle by trying to find a peaceful solution to the Eren problem. Now they gotta live with their decision to continue the cycle.
Aot episode 1 title: "To you 2000 years later" Aot episode 80 title: "From You, 2000 Years Ago" MIND BLOWING! This just show how much though Isayama put into the story, he had a fair idea where the story will be going from the very start. Let's look back at the events from Episode 1. Back then Eren wakes from a dream. A dream that he describes as mysterious and a very very long one. If you have watched the dream in slow-mo, you can see many events of the dream are of the future like Hannes' death, Dina's titan to name a few (Amount of fore shadowing here is insane) Back then we didn't knew why and how he had this dream. Well we know it now, it was Ymir.
@@limepenguin7880 Yes, and no. In fact, the manga version is even more ahead. -- Spoiler underneath, use wisely -- In the manga version, you can see a short haired Mikasa approaching Eren. The, he wakes up to a long haired Mikasa, and ask her why her hair are so long. Which echoes the ending of the manga. When rising up, you can see on the tree a small cross engraved at it's feet; being a foreshadowing for his burial ground. Finally, you can see him crying, answering he woke up from a very long dream - being the whole manga in itself -. While the story was, surely, tweaked here and there during writing, most of the plot was written in advance in the author's head.
Eren: Getting rid of our race? I could never agree to a plan that messed up. Sorry, brother. Zeke: Oh. I see. Eren: Instead, I'll get rid of all the other races instead. Zeke: *NANI?*
@@lilmupp875 Eren said himself that he hates people who are content to live as cattle. All the organized Eldian rebels are already on Paradis. As far as he's concerned, the rest of them are just as much his enemy as everyone else.
This story is so detailed that its actually insane like a person like Hajime Isayama thought of this. Its so intricate and every information was used to broaden the story to life. The 9 titans represent Ymir’s character during the time she was enslaved. Colossal Titan = Her founder titan form was huge, a symbol of destruction. And she acted as a soldier just like the colossal titans in the walls. Armour Titan = The protection her form had on Paradis and how it was so strong to withstand Female Titan = Ymir was the first titan and she was a female Cart Titan = Used as a resource, like how Ymir was treated as an object and not a person Beast Titan = Symbolised her titan form as a monster and how the other enemies back then see Paradis as devils Jaw Titan = Her founding titan was probably strong, sharp and just as agile Founding Titan = Replica of her founding titan however it lacked the strength but still has the ability to command The most important; Attack Titan = a small piece of her wanted freedom but just couldn’t do it due to the situation. She knows she wanted to be independent, not forced to do anything and can choose her OWN decisions but wishes someone in the future to set her free Things to point out: Ymir shows no eyes throughout the episode. Signifies the she had no emotion, no personality and most importantly means that she isn’t seen as a human being. The end of episode where Eren gives her a choice to BE free was when her eyes show. A sign that she is human and that she can make her own choice to live and not obey orders from a royal descendant. 13 fingers pointed at her when she was blamed in the beginning, 13 symbolises unlucky, 13 also means how many years she lived before she sacrificed herself for the king and 13 years is the lifespan of a titan shifter.
I do want to add to this point around 2:50 I believe Eren was also disgusted at the fact that it was essentially his doing that caused Historia's "family's" death. Remember in the pre-time skip (under the church with Riess, Historia, and Eren), Eren hated what Grisha did to the Reiss family and wanted Historia to kill him for some sort of atonement. It was only after having a talk with Historia (after she became queen and they were in the fields), did he let the situation go. After kissing Historia’s hand and seeing that moment with himself encouraging Grisha to massacre the family (with the picture of Eren's face right after Grisha tells Zeke that Eren is a menace, which confirms that he did see this when kissing Historia's hand) did he realize he was the one who caused it from the start. From that moment on, he was never disgusted with Grisha, but rather, he was disgusted with himself. Imagine feeling so guilty over a situation that was “caused” by your father that you were willing to die, only to find out it was your fault that it happened in the first place. That’s why Eren made the face after kissing Historia’s hand. Was he angry that Grisha didn’t carry out the mission, possibly? However, I think it’s more likely that the face was one of utter disgust and anguish, not on Grisha, but himself. Eren hated his father for the monster that he was, only to find out he was the monster all along.
man changed a lot after that. armin and the scouts were happy seeing the sea, while him being depressed as he was looking beyond, where the enemies were at(ب_ب)
Bro I'm in this same damn boat. Makes me wish I never read the manga because I'd be going crazy watching the episodes. It's still nice to experience the animation and sound but for me to feel shocked i have to binge reaction vids :/
RUMBLING, RUMBLING, IS COMING! That Ymir mukbang though, man i cant believe i finally see Ymir's tragic backstory being animated, i remember reading the manga for it crying because of how sad her life is and getting a goosebump when she's crying with rage with Eren at back hugging her. The soundtrack is masterpiece. Footsteps of Doom by Kohta Yamamoto is beyond Rumbling. MAPPA never miss kudos to all the people involved. Also Yuki Kaji GOAT as always!
Eren’s whole plan for the rumbling really reminds me of one of Thanos’ monologues:(I’ll try and sum it up) “As long as there are those left who’ll remember what was, there will be no change.” Basically as long as there is a single human that bares hatred towards Eldia or will, nothing will change.
@Caio Da Silva Barreto Marley does the same thing but worse. Marley has committed more war crimes than a human can perceive. It's just what's necessary or else it will never end.
2000 whole damn years of struggle. Even after death. And she’s had to wait for the one person who had the balls to tear it all down. Not 2yrs, not 20, not 200 but 2000 years of bondage and finally the one person who connects it all came to save you.
1: this was the moment all manga readers we’re waiting for. 2: the title is actually the other end of the title to the very first chapter/episode. 3: I remember reading Ymir’s backstory and almost crying. Especially in the ending it almost made me vomit. 4: the end scene with Eren is actually a direct page from the manga without any changes. 5: Eren’s founding Titan looks sick animated. Especially how it almost seems to slither.
@@coyoted9251 Yep, that shit fucked me up that I had seen that scene so many times and never knew what they were foreshadowing. But I will fuck you up even more. Season 3's ending with Historia running and there being a drop of blood in the flowers was shown here to really be Yamir when she was running from Fritz's soldiers after they took her eye out and shot her with arrows.
You gotta remember, that the eldians are treated best in Marley. In other countries they are killed on sight, or more horrible shit happen to them. This is what zudo said in episode 3 of season 4.
@@deadbunnyeyes190 Agreed, that seems like a point that should be INSANELY emphasized. It'd make Eren's actions significantly more justifiable. Without that important ass detail, it just seems like the other countries at the Tybur speech were just LISTENING to Tybur and were like "...kay". It didn't come off as the other countries agreeing with Marley or anything. That single detail changes the story significantly. I just guess it wasn't elaborated on much cuz Mappa didn't have the ability to do so since they were forced to be on such a tight fuckin' deadline.
Ehh... I dunno about that. Is it really "better" to enslave a race and make sure they breed just so you can enslave their children into infinity and use them for soldiers or outright morphing them into titans to attack people? I think I'd rather be treated as a Kill On Sight enemy, at-least then I'd know my enemies wouldn't include my own people forced to fight against me.

It's crazy to think about how the Attack Titan is a manifestation of Ymir's feeling. She didn't have the mental ability because she was trapped in a thick layer of fear, but her deep feeling's was really strong. All it needed was to resonate with the right person. If you think about what Erin was saying as a kid, when he was saying that he felt trapped within the walls and it wasn't freedom, you can see that he was Ymir that wasn't trapped in fear.
U spittin fr
my mind is blown
I know this comment is really old, but I just wanted to say that I don't think people talk enough about the point you bring up. On the surface Eren is the MC reacting to the world around him, and then in the second layer the twist is he's actually a psychopathic villain and puppetmaster who wants to kill people for the sake of doing so, even if he also wants to save his home, but if you dig even deeper then ultimately Ymir and her trauma are at the core of everything.
Eren did what he did because that's what he wanted to do. He was basically a more self-aware version of the fat cunt that fed Grisha's sister to his son's dogs: to both of them peace was just not a suitable existence, and if they didn't have a good excuse to do what they wanted they would manufacture one. I think Eren's state of mind is something that anyone who is self-aware and has had issues with addiction or compulsive personality traits can empathize with (the duality, not the murderous desire). I liken it to being Angel from Buffy, where you're cursed to have this monster inside of you that you hate, but which is still you, and that means you do want the things that the monster wants, but you also deeply do not want them, and when you give into them it's like you're a passenger in your own body, but then you have to live with those memories. Eren yearned for the bloodshed he ended up committing while also being deeply ashamed of it. He did what he did because it was in his nature to do so, but it was only in his nature to do so because Ymir manufactured him that way. Ymir is the alpha and the omega and everything that happens in the titan era is her doing, even if it wasn't intentional.
As the mechanics of the AoT world are presented to us, Ymir essentially created a 2000-year closed loop the moment she came into contact with the worm. I assume it's that moment as titan bodies are made in the paths, and we're only ever shown Ymir making them, so I assume even for her own titan transformations she was dipping into the paths for however long it took to make her titan body. If that's the case then she begins her existence outside of time and space at that point, but even if it's not the case then it just pushes the closed loop back 13 years to when she physically dies. All titan powers are just pieces of Ymir's power that she is granting to people. Ymir's powers were given to her by the worm, but even though the worm is shown to have some level of agency of its own, the ultimate arbiter of how those powers are used when the two are combined is only ever shown to be Ymir herself.
So Ymir is the source of all titan powers, which we know includes control of Eldians on a cellular level. The only reasonable conclusion I can see from that is that all Eldians are, effectively, extensions of Ymir in a very real sense. She's like one of those trees that looks like an entire forest while actually only being one tree that is just diving and sprouting new trunks over and over. This very imagery is even used with the paths being represented as Ymir being the trunk and every Eldian being a branch off of it. Ymir's story is like a very long-form version of the story we're shown following Eren. The past and the future have two-way causality and everything is set in stone. Eren only sees his future self through his father's memories because his future self had already done that, which led to the events which made that viewing possible via Zeke taking him into his father's memories through the paths.
Ymir spends 2000 years (in real time) unintentionally therapizing herself with the multitudinous branches of her psyche which the Eldian race represents as a whole. Her final breakthrough is with Eren (who is part of Ymir) finally treating her(self) as a human with agency, and with Mikasa choosing to go against someone that she had the same deep commitment to as Ymir did to Karl Fritz. Which, I actually think the "causality" of those two is reversed and Mikasa stopping Eren showed Ymir that she did have agency, which as a revelation was expressed through Eren treating her as a human and not a slave. In this closed loop that is, in essence, a single moment with no real causality, Ymir both began and ended the loop instantly *and* over nearly infinite time. It took everything that unfolded in real time over 2000 years for her to heal her trauma, but she couldn't undo it both because it would cause a paradox and because everything already happened. By the time Ymir gained agency over her trauma she no longer had her powers, because those powers ended with the resolution of her trauma.
(spoiler tag for Three Body Problem) There is an official-unofficial final book to the Three Body Problem that has some interesting expansions on the concepts of the story. One is a revelation that one of the characters has over how time functions with regards to dimensions. In the series the most devastating type of offensive attack is like a dimensional extinguisher, where it basically destroys one of the dimensions of a particular section of spacetime, which consequently destroys any life reliant on the dimensions that existed, as well as "salting the field" so that no such life can ever grow there again. It turns out that the universe previously had 10 dimensions, and over time had been reduced down to the ones we occupy. Some of the most ancient species that had figured out how to adapt to lower dimensions were even trying to extinguish every dimension with the hopes of the universe resetting itself to its original 10. The reason it even started dropping from 10 is like a sci-fi take on genesis.
This character learns that basically the speed of light (and information) is only capped as it is because of the dimensional state we are in. He asks this computer or whatever how long this iteration of the universe lasted, and it gives the current estimated age of the universe. He then asks how long the previous iteration (with more dimensions) lasted, and it's a much shorter amount of time. This progresses until the 9-dimensional universe is revealed to have lasted like .3 seconds, and finally the 10-dimensional universe lasted for nearly infinity. It lasted for no time and also forever, and as all information was instantly propagated throughout the whole, the concept of cause and effect didn't really have any meaning. Everything that happened in the eternity of the 10-dimensional universe happened in the same instant and the entire universe was essentially one entity that vibrated with the same song. The first collapse from 10 to 9 is caused by "The Lurker", which is the Lucifer corollary; one consciousness of the infinite number of consciousnesses that constituted the whole (with the whole amounting to God) rebelling against this harmony, and succeeding because *"If a child still within the womb decided to attack the mother from within, how could the mother have been prepared for it?"*
This original infinity is referred to as the Edenic Age, which is another blatant biblical reference, and my contention is that the titan era is like a funhouse mirror version of it. Instead of being the beginning of everything, it's somewhere in the middle and collapses with no meaningful, lasting impact (we're explicitly shown the cycle of violence pressing on in the end). Instead of beginning with an all-knowing being comprised of an infinity of individuals which falls apart into disorder and ignorance due to the rebellion of one, it's a single, ignorant consciousness that explodes into a multitude in its ignorance, and through that multitude gains awareness, and through this awareness ends the age. Ymir being simultaneously a type of god while also being a nearly complete slave to her nature further fits within the generic theme exploring nature, nurture, determinism, and agency.

That speech was gave me chills. The back story of Yimr, 2000 years of pain, misery, and suffering the rumbling is the embodiment of it all.
yes, it's not only eren's, it's 2000 years of resentment embodied in the form of rumbling. I'm not saying that it's right, but when we look into it from this perspective, we kinda understand why it's the "only" way eren/the attack titan/ymir deems appropriate.
Yeah but in the paths the time is much much longer, imagine her building with sand each and every titan...
Yeah let's hope later on the writer doesn’t do anything stupid like make the poor girl legitimately love her evil abuser and she never moved on from it until now.
@@brandonlyon730 stockholm syndrome, i guess?
guys im confused ,ymir was captured by who ? eldians or matylians??
and after she became titan who did she went to ?
Just see it like this, Ymir endured all that messed up stuff and pain both physcially and mentally as a child and when she did gain the power of the founding titan, she never got freed from being a slave. In fact after her death, she continued being a slave for 2000 years waiting for someone to free her. That someone would be the successor of the Attack Titan because the AT was the little free will she had left. She could've used it to rebel against King Fritz but couldn't make herself to do it due to Stockholm Syndrome (she was attracted to him despite of the sick things he did to her). This is why you can see why the AT's goal is to always seek freedom and never obey the ideology of the self-righteous king (King Fritz) because Ymir gave the AT that free will to gain freedom (for her). She waited 2000 years for that someone to finally free her from being a slave to the first king and that someone was Eren Yeager.
Also a fun fact here, that centipede looking creature which gave Ymir the power of the Titans DID in fact existed in real life million of years ago. Its called a "Hallucigenia" or also known as "Spine Worm" and is a fascinating creature to learn about.
I used to pass by fayteg slaves in my way to school in my hometown, they were laying under the shades of trees playing Rshoum to kill time till they die of age1😭😭😭 this episode reminded me of them.

@@burhancityreal I sighed a bit deep into this to see what I said regarding was true at least close to the truth. So far, this might the accurate info regarding the whole idea why Ymir did all of this and why Eren did all of this. Again this is just an oversimplified version of it lol.
Kind of a spoiler bro
@@whatjusthappened77 Nah not really. This is pretty easy to figure out even if you haven't read the chapter beyond 122.
The Attack Titan always fights for freedom, and finally after 2000 years, Eren is the one who finally connected with Ymir Fritz, the original founder. This scene sent chills down my spine.
So basically everything happened this way to free ymir right

When Eren says "everything outside the island" he means it, subjects of Ymir or otherwise. It's about to be a bad day for a lot of people
I feel like a lot of people miss that. Just because he addressed ALL subjects of Ymir doesn’t mean he intends to save them. Eren’s fighting for Paradis and that’s it anyone outside the walls, Eldian or not, is getting stomped.
Facts it's like a 🚨
He gave a warning🤣 better get to 🏃

@@90sprinceofcrime67 true but then the whole world would be going to Paradis
That or just straight up tell them, I'm not responsible for any of Ymir subjects that were not in the walls when I started the rumbling
4 main points I wanna convey:
1. I believe Ymir jumped in front of the spear because she is so enslaved by the king, she will do anything, even sacrifice herself. Which is in relation to point 2;
2. She is enslaved by the king, so she will even do his bidding after death, for eternity. (make titans) And also why she only "listens" to those of royal blood, not because of some construct that binds her, but purely from a human mindset of being enslaved.
2a. However, she is put into the Paths by this bidding of the king, so perhaps it is a power that the king has over her.
3. The scene where they were having Ymir buffet, was shown in S2's end credits.
Ymir buffet is an interesting way of putting it lmao😂
She does all of this bc Ymir was in love with Fritz
@@lean768 Yep, who knew Stockholm syndrome would serve as the basis of the Aot plot

@@lean768 i still dont know why isayama had to pull that shit. ymir's subservience already made sense, it was because she was a slave.

No, he just has the attack titan
@@nisean14 Chapter 1 from manga
Can u explain it to me ? Please
@@him7053 I may be wrong, but I think that eren sent her all of his memories so she could see his life, hence “to you from 2000 years from now” and then I think Ymir sent him her memories from what she went through and that’s why it’s now called “from you, 2000 years ago”. I think that’s why Eren is able to connect with her at the end, saying how she’s not a god but just a human being.
Easily the most saddest & brutal AOT backstory
"Everyone was slave to something" Kenny's dying words hits even harder now that we know that even Ymir, the most revered or feared being in this whole AOT world was a slave all along and it dictated her own pain & suffering
I guess so is Eren.
Yes. Everyone in this show is just pushed to certain decisions due to their situation, which is caused by the mistakes of the past. The world is stuck fearing Eldia, and Eldia is stuck fearing the world. So it would be natural to want to kill the other. And, in a sense, everyone is a slave to fear and their situation
and the most ironic of them all is the one who is a slave to freedom
kenny was the realest one he knew whats up without even knowing anything^^
Even Eren it's a slave of his mindset and ideology of seeking for freedom, ironically and in a poetic way, was shown that with Eren's final form, being a giant titan cage made of giant ribs
Clarification, Eren is not gonna help the eldians living in other countries, he is only saving eldians in paradis, so basically, if it's not in paradis, it's gonna die.
Exactly. Eren isn't racist. He's destroying all his enemies equally.

Fun Fact: Eren's VA nearly lost his voice again from this episode. The other episode was during reiner and bert's betrayal.
Actually, I believe the other episode where he almost lost his voice was on Scream, the final episode of S2, when he begins screaming to himself saying he is useless after Hannes dies.
Yuki kaji mfs 🔥
No it was the final episode of season 2 “scream”
Aye he said “next Sunday is about to be crazy”
“Oh no it’s happening NOW”😂😂
This is the pinnacle of perfect writing, because the very first episode of the series’ called “To You, in 2000 Years” and this closes the loop with “From you, 2000 years ago”. It also moved me to tears to think of Ymir as nothing but a slave for most of her life and even in death she couldn’t escape the orders of the royal family, so she looked for someone, anyone, to come and set her free.
It’s crazy when you think about how long Ymir was plotting. Like she crafted every Titan. Including the ones that had free will and specific abilities. So at some point in her LONG time of relentless crafting she figured that, in order to put an end to it all, she made a Titan that can pass its memories back and forth through time. Wild.
@@coyoted9251 She did plot.

(Edit: I am aware that I technically mis-used the term "protagonist". Being a hero or good person does not necessarily make you a protagonist.

Unless we're going with an anime only ending, the story already peaked
No. 1 on IMDb
Only chapter 130 and 131 imo. But, well, everyone has their opinions I guess.
Absolutely 😤
@@kastang1444 Wondering how anime onlys are going to react. Everything up until now is amazing. Now it is going to build up towards the ending, and if its the same ending of the manga, well. Sheesh.
I don't fw Eren's plan but I understand the logic of it and the emotion behind it. He had no other option and he was backed into a corner on what to do. However, the plan itself is tragic and violent. Anw, in Sheera we Trust :)
If the First King of the Walls had just said, “Yo, Eldia was wrong, and we should work together to re-build,” instead of running to the island and threatening the entire world so he could “live in peace” without actually recognizing and repairing the harm, deluding himself on some type of “suffering=penance” BS, none of this would have happened. I blame the First King of the Walls tbh.
@@JCmud351 I don't think it would be that easy for the victims of Eldia to just accept a truce from the oppressor themselves. Their crimes are too big for firsthand victims to just forgive with the promise of rebuilding things together.
It's easier in Eren's generation bc none of them did those original crimes and none of them were firsthand victims.
But I understand your sentiment.
@@justnattnatt I’m not saying they’re accepting a truce. I’m saying if they actually made a real agreement/treaty like how wars actually get done, things would be different. If Eldia had even just started with liberating their colonies and promising reparations, shit would be very different. Running away and leaving things unresolved was what got shit messed up. Cause now Marley’s like, “Bet, all of the Eldian empire should be ours.” It’s just a mess. ESPECIALLY the. Threatening The Rumbling. That only cements you further as the imperialist bad guys.
what logic lol. He’s stupid my man.
@Macho Manstud Fritz told Tybur the plan and let them come up with the Helos story. Willy Tybur did not tell the world/regular citizens of Marley until the Festival where he reveals “the truth.” That’s why Gabi and the Liberio Eldians see the other Eldians as bad. I’m saying in real life, when formerly colonizing powers just say, “Welp, I’m gonna dip!” shit is never that sweet for the country they dipped from. You ravished a place and built resentment and have done nothing tangible to address it. Literally if Karl Fritz had like made some move toward actual reparation instead of locking himself up on Paradis and dragging innocent people into his personal N’s “penance” or whatever, things would be different. And then you get the, “Why should I apologize for something my ancestors did?” argument because no one has made a move to change anything and people now are having to shoulder the effects.
The Attack Titan's memories led it's holders to "that one moment"... The first time in 2000 years that an Eldian commoner could finally overthrow the monarchy. That self-righteous first king of the walls couldn't see that the commoners were always the victims of the Eldian nobility that committed all the atrocities that the Edlian Empire deserved punishment for. Eldian commoners were just cannon fodder for all those centuries and they were owed justice. Eren just made sure that Grisha delivered justice.
Grisha: but what about those poor souls that were abandoned and left on the continent?
Eren: who?
The Attack Titan is like the last line of hope for Ymir and she's been waiting for 2,000 years for someone to end her suffering
Yeah that’s crazy and it’s all the while nice
When Eren points across the sea and asks "If I kill all my enemies over there, will we finally be free?" It looks like he's asking Armin and Mikasa. But what if he's asking his future self? The last moment of doubt he ever had in the future
.......That honestly seems so canon rn! Jeez
Great episode! I love how you don't see Ymir's eyes until the end to show her humanity. She's such an interesting character and her backstory was done perfectly. It's also interesting how Eren tells her to go free while Zeke keeps trying to enslave her.
When you think that all the titans come from Ymir, it makes sense that the Attack Titan is some part of her psyche. Maybe it's her repressed desire for freedom.
In the white flower with 9 petals only one is bloodied, perhaps it is the part of her that is against everything that has happened to her. "The Attack Titan" inside her.

For those who are wondering why Ymir obeyed Eren when she should have obey Zeke:
For 2000 years, Ymir was treated as a tool for the founding titan's power instead of a person. Eren was the only one who gave her freedom, he didn't command her, he gave her the freedom to choose what she wants. Ymir felt like a human being for the first time in forever, especially when Eren hugged her. That is why she looked shocked and cried because the feeling of being treated as a normal human being instead of a slave is so rare to her, it felt too unreal. Therefore, knowing that she has the freedom to choose what she wants now, I guess she sided with Eren not because she agreed with Eren's plan, she's just tired of obeying people with royal blood commanding her like she's a slave to them.

@@Buckheimer I thought Ymir was waiting for someone to set her free, it could be anyone, not specifically Eren, just someone who could set her free. Eren didn't say that Ymir was waiting for him, he said that Ymir was waiting for someone. Ymir probably didn't even know the one who would set her free was Eren. Correct me if I'm wrong tho
hahaha then u will know what trully ymir want,its simple woman always be woman HAHAAHAHA
It's interesting how the King was referring to her as "My Slave, Ymir" the same way Premier Zachery referred to Eren as "Our Titan, Eren". It's also interesting how Zachery and the Eldian King look kinda similar.
There is a lot of physical similarities between some people, yeah. It's like at one time, there was some theory that Ymir was a long lost relative of the Jeager family, as all their titans forms ( Grisha, Ymir, Eren, Zeke ) share some physical similarities on the faces. It wasn't, but the theory was interesting nonetheless.
It's like the brother of Rod Reiss ressembling Armin a lot.
i wonder if King Fritz also had a Shit Chair^^
The way zeke thought he was showing eren his dads past was actually eren using him 😂
It really comes down to the fact that Marley had the choice to end the cycle by trying to find a peaceful solution to the Eren problem. Now they gotta live with their decision to continue the cycle.
It won’t continue if there’s no one to strike back
Aot episode 1 title: "To you 2000 years later"
Aot episode 80 title: "From You, 2000 Years Ago"
MIND BLOWING!
This just show how much though Isayama put into the story, he had a fair idea where the story will be going from the very start.
Let's look back at the events from Episode 1. Back then Eren wakes from a dream. A dream that he describes as mysterious and a very very long one.
If you have watched the dream in slow-mo, you can see many events of the dream are of the future like Hannes' death, Dina's titan to name a few (Amount of fore shadowing here is insane)
Back then we didn't knew why and how he had this dream.
Well we know it now, it was Ymir.
Except in the manga chapter 1 was a little different, the memory dream sequence is anime original.
@@limepenguin7880 Yes, and no. In fact, the manga version is even more ahead.
-- Spoiler underneath, use wisely --
In the manga version, you can see a short haired Mikasa approaching Eren. The, he wakes up to a long haired Mikasa, and ask her why her hair are so long. Which echoes the ending of the manga. When rising up, you can see on the tree a small cross engraved at it's feet; being a foreshadowing for his burial ground. Finally, you can see him crying, answering he woke up from a very long dream - being the whole manga in itself -.
While the story was, surely, tweaked here and there during writing, most of the plot was written in advance in the author's head.
Eren: Getting rid of our race? I could never agree to a plan that messed up. Sorry, brother.
Zeke: Oh. I see.
Eren: Instead, I'll get rid of all the other races instead.
Zeke: *NANI?*
🤣☠️
When you realize that all lives outside the walls means other eldians to 😳
Uno reverse card of the millenium
@@lilmupp875 Eren said himself that he hates people who are content to live as cattle. All the organized Eldian rebels are already on Paradis. As far as he's concerned, the rest of them are just as much his enemy as everyone else.
@@lilmupp875 he said he want to protect the people of paradis I doubt he cares about anyone else
This story is so detailed that its actually insane like a person like Hajime Isayama thought of this. Its so intricate and every information was used to broaden the story to life. The 9 titans represent Ymir’s character during the time she was enslaved.
Colossal Titan = Her founder titan form was huge, a symbol of destruction. And she acted as a soldier just like the colossal titans in the walls.
Armour Titan = The protection her form had on Paradis and how it was so strong to withstand
Female Titan = Ymir was the first titan and she was a female
Cart Titan = Used as a resource, like how Ymir was treated as an object and not a person
Beast Titan = Symbolised her titan form as a monster and how the other enemies back then see Paradis as devils
Jaw Titan = Her founding titan was probably strong, sharp and just as agile
Founding Titan = Replica of her founding titan however it lacked the strength but still has the ability to command
The most important;
Attack Titan = a small piece of her wanted freedom but just couldn’t do it due to the situation. She knows she wanted to be independent, not forced to do anything and can choose her OWN decisions but wishes someone in the future to set her free
Things to point out:
Ymir shows no eyes throughout the episode. Signifies the she had no emotion, no personality and most importantly means that she isn’t seen as a human being.
The end of episode where Eren gives her a choice to BE free was when her eyes show. A sign that she is human and that she can make her own choice to live and not obey orders from a royal descendant.
13 fingers pointed at her when she was blamed in the beginning, 13 symbolises unlucky, 13 also means how many years she lived before she sacrificed herself for the king and 13 years is the lifespan of a titan shifter.
I do want to add to this point around 2:50
I believe Eren was also disgusted at the fact that it was essentially his doing that caused Historia's "family's" death. Remember in the pre-time skip (under the church with Riess, Historia, and Eren), Eren hated what Grisha did to the Reiss family and wanted Historia to kill him for some sort of atonement. It was only after having a talk with Historia (after she became queen and they were in the fields), did he let the situation go. After kissing Historia’s hand and seeing that moment with himself encouraging Grisha to massacre the family (with the picture of Eren's face right after Grisha tells Zeke that Eren is a menace, which confirms that he did see this when kissing Historia's hand) did he realize he was the one who caused it from the start. From that moment on, he was never disgusted with Grisha, but rather, he was disgusted with himself. Imagine feeling so guilty over a situation that was “caused” by your father that you were willing to die, only to find out it was your fault that it happened in the first place. That’s why Eren made the face after kissing Historia’s hand. Was he angry that Grisha didn’t carry out the mission, possibly? However, I think it’s more likely that the face was one of utter disgust and anguish, not on Grisha, but himself.
Eren hated his father for the monster that he was, only to find out he was the monster all along.
man changed a lot after that. armin and the scouts were happy seeing the sea, while him being depressed as he was looking beyond, where the enemies were at(ب_ب)
I’m just glad to finally see the massive Founding in animation it’s truly majestic in a dark twisted way
No lie this why I love watching y’all. I didn’t even notice the eldians with the arm bands from Marley until you said it
I’ve read the manga, so basically I always look forward to y’all’s reaction instead of the ep itself 😂
Bro I'm in this same damn boat. Makes me wish I never read the manga because I'd be going crazy watching the episodes. It's still nice to experience the animation and sound but for me to feel shocked i have to binge reaction vids :/
@@Sitheonly very true, I’ve even read the coloured manga with epic AOT music blasting in the background, felt like the anime to me
@@Sitheonly it's kinda hard not to read the manga tho, so much spoilers in the internet. we had to see it ourselves XD
@@mandu18 yup same thing happened to me got spoiled too much like too much from trolls and decided to just read the manga
RUMBLING, RUMBLING, IS COMING!
That Ymir mukbang though, man i cant believe i finally see Ymir's tragic backstory being animated, i remember reading the manga for it crying because of how sad her life is and getting a goosebump when she's crying with rage with Eren at back hugging her.
The soundtrack is masterpiece. Footsteps of Doom by Kohta Yamamoto is beyond Rumbling. MAPPA never miss kudos to all the people involved.
Also Yuki Kaji GOAT as always!
YMIR MUKBANG!!!!!
Not mukbang💀💀
Eren’s whole plan for the rumbling really reminds me of one of Thanos’ monologues:(I’ll try and sum it up) “As long as there are those left who’ll remember what was, there will be no change.” Basically as long as there is a single human that bares hatred towards Eldia or will, nothing will change.
This is one of the most accurate response to this episode!
Pretty much. The world unanimously hates the island so they all gotta go
The same logic as Zeke, if there are no Eldians, hatred ends, both ideas stupid, but Eren killed more
@Caio Da Silva Barreto Marley does the same thing but worse. Marley has committed more war crimes than a human can perceive. It's just what's necessary or else it will never end.
@@Real_Genji And why exactly are Eldians so goddamn special that the rest of the world needs to be sacrificed just for them
2000 whole damn years of struggle. Even after death. And she’s had to wait for the one person who had the balls to tear it all down. Not 2yrs, not 20, not 200 but 2000 years of bondage and finally the one person who connects it all came to save you.
I think those were the years in-between Ymir's time and Eren. But Ymir spent a lot more time in the path because time flows very slowly
@@arno7163 Yeah that is is even more terrifying
10:36 deadass had me crying him analysing titan yams and Lupa just told his ass to stfu
1: this was the moment all manga readers we’re waiting for.
2: the title is actually the other end of the title to the very first chapter/episode.
3: I remember reading Ymir’s backstory and almost crying. Especially in the ending it almost made me vomit.
4: the end scene with Eren is actually a direct page from the manga without any changes.
5: Eren’s founding Titan looks sick animated. Especially how it almost seems to slither.
@@coyoted9251 Yep, that shit fucked me up that I had seen that scene so many times and never knew what they were foreshadowing. But I will fuck you up even more. Season 3's ending with Historia running and there being a drop of blood in the flowers was shown here to really be Yamir when she was running from Fritz's soldiers after they took her eye out and shot her with arrows.
You gotta remember, that the eldians are treated best in Marley. In other countries they are killed on sight, or more horrible shit happen to them. This is what zudo said in episode 3 of season 4.
Man, I definitely didn't remember that. It should've been given more emphases in my opinion
@@deadbunnyeyes190 Agreed, that seems like a point that should be INSANELY emphasized. It'd make Eren's actions significantly more justifiable. Without that important ass detail, it just seems like the other countries at the Tybur speech were just LISTENING to Tybur and were like "...kay". It didn't come off as the other countries agreeing with Marley or anything. That single detail changes the story significantly. I just guess it wasn't elaborated on much cuz Mappa didn't have the ability to do so since they were forced to be on such a tight fuckin' deadline.
Ehh... I dunno about that. Is it really "better" to enslave a race and make sure they breed just so you can enslave their children into infinity and use them for soldiers or outright morphing them into titans to attack people?
I think I'd rather be treated as a Kill On Sight enemy, at-least then I'd know my enemies wouldn't include my own people forced to fight against me.
Y'all are SO quick to catch onto things and theories. Really shows you paying attention and thinking about things that happen
It's crazy how Eren set up the events that happened through out the entire show before he was even born
There is a couple of variants how time works. And in this show future past and present just in the same time
Nope, the first memory he went to was him as a baby.
@@botheredbiskit what about when he showed Kruger his memories ?
@@whatjusthappened77 He didn't. Kruger, as a user of the attack titan, peeked into the future shifters, as it is the power of the attack titan.
@@gerardlacroix6015 The power of the attack titan is to send memories back to past inheritors. Did you watch the episode ?
"If we kill all of our enemies across the sea will we finally be free?"
- Eren Yeager
It all comes together now that we are here
yeah now that we know he's known for 4 years, up to that moment he literally meant everybody and not just marley. Kept his word lol
@@coolkid7377 future marleyans will also become their enemies in their future so even if they are innocent they are brainwashed and will hate the eldians until all of them die . So eren was just protecting his people.
@@mrfreakyflintz2523 Yeah, I agree with it tho its sad.
@@mrfreakyflintz2523 future marleyans will also become their enemies????
Hmmmm🤔🤔
So you just ignored Falcos and Gabbis character development? I mean, unless you are the next Attack Titan carrier, their future is not determinated.
Yes, Falco and Gabbi are Eldians born and raised in Marley but still, u get the point.
I come back here every week just to rewatch 10:30 😂😂😂
10:38 That stfu killed me!!!!
The OST played when Eren's talking to all subjects of Ymir made me tear up. This scene is so chaotic and beautiful
15:05 they can’t. Eren said he’s going to destroy literally everything outside the walls. That’s means all the land outside the world. Doesn’t matter if they’re is enemies there or not, he’s gonna destroy it
14:01 always W edits, but two W’s cause it’s my tweet, smoothly edited, and cause it’s still so insane how me and sheera basically said the same thing without me having seen the reaction yet.
This week episode "From you 2000 years ago" was counterpart of episode 1 "To You 2000 years from now". Implied that Eren and Ymir has been sending message to each other across 2000 years.
Even In Marleyan history book, Ymir had been mention got Titan power from "The Devil". Yeah, we know who always get that title today. Remember? Floch once said to jean "look at Eren. We need the devil like him". Yeah. Coincident.
Eren in Titan form also closely resembles the "Devil" that gives Ymir power in the illustration if the book they would tell of her life.
