I’m here after watching the final episode of the anime, and I have to say that I agree with all of your points. Zeke is one of my favorite characters in Attack on Titan, and while I’m not going to say that he’s a good person (hell, practically no one is in this series) I’m happy you were able to put into words how I felt about his character. He’s extremely underrated in my opinion, and I’m glad you were able to shed some light on why he’s such a well written character. Great video.
Great video. Zeke was a flawed individual but was infinitely more “heroic” than many other characters. Can you imagine how differently we’d see things if the series started in Marley instead of in Paradis with Eren?
I don’t see how you have so few subscribers and views considering how much of an understanding you have of each of these topics. you and sages rain and invaderzz are my faves right now
Thank you for this video man, I'm kinda late but I hope more people will see this. Zeke is definitely the best arch nemesis of Erwin. While Zeke saw life as meaningless and painful, Erwin saw life as painful but has meaning to every suffering. They were both my favorite characters in this series.
One of the very few things i didn t like about season 4.I felt like Hashirama made such a big build up for him from the first moment he appeared as the beast titan, the wonder child with strange unique powers, the brother of Eren, the mysterious guy who nobody knows what he actually plans to do, then the twist with him actually being on Paradis side wanting to save the Eldian race just to end up being only a puppet for Eren rumbling power (and a tool to nerf Levi).I loved his "final arc" with Grisha telling him he regrets everything etc and overall it was really good but i feel like he could have been used more.
I think being a tool doesn't mean anything Itashi was a tool too and he is still considered the best character in his show or at least on of the best. Zeke is a compelling and an incredibly well written charactere he is the most interesting one in my opinion with a twisted set of morals and an incredibly unbiased worldview willing to make the hard yet right decisions also got a goated backstory.
What hurts me the most is Zeke genuinely loved Eren even tho he only found out about him when he was much older in life.. He wanted to protect and be with his brother even after he found out Eren betrayed him in paths.. I love Eren but he could have been a little nice towards Zeke atleast with his words.. Instead he called him pathetic for letting their father's past haunt him.. Sure boy :/ you're lucky you weren't raised the way Zeke was
Lol first nobody gives a shit about the trash manga ending and second both trash shit character dogkasa and Levi were incapable of doing anything and it's first Zeke eho surrendered and let midget Levi kill him and second it was all Erens plan and he let the clown alliance fight in the first place and he let them reach till him. But that was the manga timeline kiddo in the anime soon u will see u gets crushed under collosals 😂
I feel deeply sympathy with Zeke since I also have younger bro and my parents are also kind of toxic. I always try to protect my brother from being the same situation like me. But it seems that he is never like me, the only hurted one is me.
He was never like me, the parents never treat him like me. I am happy that his heart has never been hurted. He lives a innocent life and never ask about the meaning of this life. I'm happy for him and feel so bad for the poor me.
how miserable I was, I need to escape myself from those father mother. They were and will keep trying to make me their emotion slave. How miserable you are, Zeke ! How miserable we are ...
I do understand him, he’s a sociopath that has an ego as big or bigger than Eren. After selling out his parents he has so empathy and is willing to kill thousands just for his “selfish dream” to come true. Boo hoo you had bad parents and they didn’t love you, get over it man we all got parent issues.
@@elisennesh7641Uhhh, no. Paradis was a metaphor for Imperial Japan. It was a nation that caused untold horrors in East & Southeast Asia but was brought down by America’s atomic bombs. Any imagery from Nazi Germany and WW2 was coincidental because when were Jewish people ever an empire that subjugated their neighbours like Eldians did? Please learn some media literacy and history, ffs.
@@lisa_squared "were Jewish people ever an empire that subjugated their neighbours like Eldians did?" I'm honestly shocked to find one person in a RUclips comments section who knows we weren't! Look, I agree that there were clear allusions to Imperial Japan (the importance of the royal/imperial family to the Eldian Empire), but Isayama was also clearly mashing them up with elements from other aspects of history, including, yeah, the Holocaust.
Zeke is not so different than King Fritz and Willy Tybur, still adhered to the ideology of Eldian race as those who inherit the sins of their ancestors and still shall be punished upon, and that's also the reason i hate him.
He is not horrible... you guys fail to see that although it's unfair for Zeke to decide the fate of all Eldians but his plan was the only plan which could have a peaceful conclusion to the Eldian race and titan curse.. You saw what Eren did.. was that right? Also Armin's talk no jutsu wasn't going to work with the rest of the world either
Zeke didn’t hate subjects of Ymir he just wanted to stop the hate cycle without genocide
sterilizing the entire population IS genocide
Zeke is underrated af
Real
My third fav character . And one of my all time fictional fav characters . Thanks for your analysis . Perfect as always
Extremely underrated channel.
You can’t help but love Zeke, so phenomenally written, he’s simultaneously a GREAT antagonist while carrying MC energy.

This video is perfect, the best zeke video on youtube
Zeke didn’t deserve to die
He was going to die in a year anyway
@@mertegeselam8321 not after the titan power was removed
this is such an amazing video wtf i never put together the fact that zeke acted like ksaver towards eren
This is such a good video. Zeke my 4th behind Eren, Grisha & Kruger
yet another banger by mr understander
damn, this was wonderfully done.

Incredible video man!
this show was brutal, pulling no punches
Damn, good job!
wonderful.
The best in aot is Zeke
Lol not best but one of the best 100 times better than trash bland characters like simpkasa and midget levi
@@rohankaalu-uj7fx well one of the best for sure tho and mikasa wasn't really that bad
@@ooofman7413 who that eren fangirl.
@@ooofman7413 She's the ONLY character in the series with ZERO character development

I’m antinatalist so I could relate to Zeke

nice!!!
goddamn
6:40 armin
monke
I'm going to make sure to have kids just to spite Zeke.
He wouldn't care unless you're an Eldian
@@waytoguidance well yeah. We all saw the show. We all know what Eldians were a metaphor for. That's me.

Idc, never gonna forgive him for the lives he took on paradis while laughing like it was a game
He took less lives than Eren did.
Atlast it was scouts who killed eldian soldiers just to save all other countries who meant to destroy eldia@@lisa_squared
You can't justify talk no jujutsu. Zeke already knew life had minor great things.
bro was in the paths for eons antagonist have changed views mins after meeting the protagonists not talk no jusjutsu
Legend says that this will get pinned kekwait
He is 100 times better character than trash simpkasa, Levi and armong
You're trash anr supporter
And Eren, he was the worst character of the series.
Still got talk no justsu
Ikr 😂 retconned everything. Aoe is the knly hope
I agree that he’s a very complex character but he’s still a horrible person by planning to end the Eldian race. Great villain but horrible person

@@waytoguidance Eren's plan united eldians and the rest of the survivors..Zeke's plan would have just ended the eldians
Respite is not pronounced like despite. Its pronounced res-pit
All I need to understand is that he had too much fun killing the survey corp.
Exactly, fuck Zeke. I'm shocked at all the simping over him by AOT fans.
@@PhilliesGodSon he promised himself to have fun at everything he do unlike his father
Yeah Isayama made him seem extremely ruthless in that scene so us the audience would enjoy Levi slicing his ass even more
And I do feel sympathy for Zeke.. He didn't deserve to go through all the childhood trauma
Bad writing, it’s not consistent with his goals of having Eldians die through a peaceful “euthanization” plan.
