What did you think of the final chapter?
I still plan on making videos analyzing Attack on Titan since there is SO much to cover, but I would love to start expanding my channel as well. I want to start talking about other anime and movies, shows, books, or even mythology as well! Please let me know if there is any specific video or topic you'd like to see :)
@eren daddy dude give respect
Nicely explained ,you could also add the foreshadowing of s2 ep 12 and the meaning of the blue flowers ,which symbolises a sort of answer to freedom ,and get this the flowers only appeared when Mikasa was trying to comfort eren
After watching your video, this is what I think:
1. Eren said Ymir "LOVED", she Loved the king, he didn't say she wanted to be loved, he said that she was in love with him. Eren didn't say she wanted to be loved. Not once did he say that. She was just in love with him and wanted to be free, apparently. (There weren't any other women out there that she could relate to, except Mikasa, she apparently showed her true love...ok)
2. Ymir didn't die for the king, she could have regenerated but chose not to, why did she not heal herself? Isayama never gave us a clear answer. So no, you are wrong, she didn't die for the king. She jumped in to save the king because that was her duty or in this case because of love, but why did she not regenerate her wound?
A small wound like that would have been easy to regenerate but she chose not to. Why didn't she heal herself?
According to chapter 103, Falco said that with the power of a titan, any injuries should automatically heal themselves, as long as they have a strong will to live. According to this piece of information, Ymir didn't heal herself because she didn't have a strong will to live. But why? If she was in love with the king, why did she give up and die? Remember that she had all 9 titan powers within her.
3. Mikasa's love for Eren wasn't the same as Ymir's love for the king. Mikasa loved Eren and according to the ending, Eren Loved Mikasa too. Isayama left Mikasa's kiss at the end of chapter 138 up to interpretation. This was a major blunder and thanks to that the fandom is split, all because he didn't explain and elaborate further.
You say Mikasa's kiss showed Ymir true love but all I see is Ymir looking and smiling at Eren's decapitated head. Eren represented the King and Mikasa represented Ymir. Ymir finally got her vengeance in the end, I guess.
Then again, it showed Ymir that she wasn't wrong, Mikasa showed Ymir that her love for the king wasn't wrong. She could still love a crazy person as long as she was willing to stop them when they got crazier. (It's ridiculous)
Anyways, we will never know why Ymir moved on after watching Mikasa kiss Eren because Isayama didn't tell us, he left it up to interpretation.
4. Yes, Eren knew that Mikasa was going to be the one that would kill him in the end. And according to Armin, the result of Mikasa's "choice" would wipe the Titans from the world.
"I still don't know what Mikasa will do"
"The only thing I knew for sure was the result of Mikasa's choice, all of it was to arrive at that result, that's why I moved forward"
He knew his death would not be enough to wipe the world of the titans. But he knew Miakasas's decision after that would do it.
5. He also said:
"Even if I didn't know that you'd stop me in the end.... I think I still would have flattened this world"
He says that his decision to flatten the world wasn't based on the fact that he knew he would be stopped. He knew he would be stopped but even if the wasn't stopped, he would have carried out the rumbling anyways. However, the reason for this is "I don't know why.."
It's not because he was following a path to freedom laid out by Ymir. We don't know why it happens. Again, Isayama left this answer up to interpretation.
The most reasonable answer is found on chapter 131, when Eren speaks with Ramzi. Eren tells him that when he learned that humanity lived beyond the walls, he was so disappointed. He wanted all of it to go away.
Eren's reason for the rumbling isn't so noble as to fight for freedom. Yes, I always thought he was fighting for freedom but according to chapter 131 his reason for the rumbling had nothing to do with it. In Chapter 139 his answer was "I don't know why, but I wanted to do that, I had to..." According to that chapter, if the main character doesn't know, then we don't know either.
On chapter 139 we are shown Grisha holding baby Eren telling him that he is free, right after that Eren says that he would have flatten the world anyways. He says I don't know why and we are shown that little scene with Grisha.
However, according to chapter 139 Eren isn't free. So why did Eren say he would flatten the world followed by his father telling him that he is free when he really wasn't free. Again, it's left up to interpretation. No wonder the fandom is split.
6. Eren also said :
" The founder's power has made it so that there's no past or future...it all exists at once. So it was inevitable"
He says that after he mentions Bertolt and his mother, but he never tells us how far into the past he can see and how far into the future he can see. He already said that he knows Mikasa will kill him but he doesn't know what will happen right after, but here he says he can see far into the future. How far is that?
All we know from that statement is that he cannot change time, he couldn't save his mother and he couldn't do anything.
However, if he sees the past and future, why did he say:
"I got all of you...my precious friends wrapped up in this battle without even knowing if you'd survive it"
So he didn't know the future either? But he knows the titans would be wiped out but he didn't know his friends would survive? What?
These are the reasons I didn't like the ending. You make it seem like it was an epic tale in which Eren was this tragic character that cared for his buddies and freedom but nope. Eren didn't wipe out the Titans from the world, it was Mikasa. Eren was only a puppet and died a puppet.
Chapter 139 created more questions and stripped its main character of everything, he didn't even get to free the world of the Titans, it was Mikasa who did it.
The rumbling was unnecessary, he should have stuck with the plan everyone had agreed on. He could have pretended to destroy the world but not actually do it, just destroy the military. He could still die just like he did on this chapter we got. Except, for some reason Eren wanted to flatten the world regardless, but he doesn't know why.
In conclusion, the ending was a complete mess. All left up to interpretation, I'm glad you liked it but I didn't. Thanks for reading XD
@@jackraiden6180 I’m sorry you didn’t like it !
@@McCaffreyMelon Don't be XD it's not your fault! :)
I wonder if Isayama intentionally went for this ending and knew his audience would have conflict with it regardless. A big theme that plays throughout his entire story. People love it and people hate it. Different perspectives with different reasonings. So now we communicate with each other to find a hopeful solution for us as fans lol
Definitely. I’m sure he wanted the fans to also make predictions, since the story of this world isn’t really over.
I actually feel it was rushed and probably wasn't his original ending.
@@arcanaz6583 same
Isayama regrets the ending lol he said it in a leaked interview a couple days ago...
@@Infzyssb it's misunderstood
The engraving that mikasa put on erens grave stone is
Here forever
Rest peacefully
My most beloved
The love of my life
My dear
854
The engraving is pretty much the answer to erens question back in chapter 123 when he asked mikasa what am I to you
gonna cry now :')
I have a theory but I don’t have enough context but right before mikasa goes in to kill Eren does he take her to the paths for 4 years living together being husband and wife but showing the consequence of then running away together so it makes it easier to kill Eren that would explain why mikasa is calmer about Eren because she spent the rest of his life with her
@@bean181 yeah you are correct with that theory
your voice is so calming
thank you!
Don't mind me, I'm still crying over Hange
sometimes people wanted something straight to the face rather than analyzing what's already in front of them, I think some of the fandom embodies it; even me when I first time reading it. I think that through time it will get to be appreciated, it's just that first impressions do really matter the most for those who are reading it first time
@@thedamntrain bruh both GOT and Star Wars sequel trilogy has an ending that no fans defending it; only those who are who are blind and in denial who are likely to defend it without any sources or proofs within the story; plus, it’s difficult to defend the both of the endings because past chapters doesn’t correlate toward the ending. For Aot’s case, it’s very unique because there are fans that will defend it through analyzing the ending with the help from past pages of the manga and understanding of its character complex; some of the answers are already there you just need to do some back reading and connecting the dots in which majority of the fans lack the ability since their first impression is already disappointing.
My main criticism of the aot’s ending is how it is executed, some of us did understand the ending but the way it is presented is very very confusing which causes the fandom to dislike the ending.
or most people are fast readers who can't interpret jackshit, so everything is fine for them
Because the aot ending has a lot of subtext and nuances that make it great if you pick up on it. Got ending was just plain garbage with no redeeming qualities.
@@thedamntrain but what i'm saying is that the subtext and nuance of attack on titan is what makes the ending so great, and it is being completely overlooked.
@@McCaffreyMelon subtext and nuance or not, the ending contradicts many things in past chapters and has way too many plot holes for it to be even considered a decent ending.
Well at least someone like the ending.
Thank you for this! I feel almost exactly as you do on many of your points and it actually hurts to know that so many people dislike the chapter. There is evidence he’s always liked Mikasa, but he’s always put up a façade because he’s a slave to freedom and his ideals
Facts
But this chapter completely destroys the previous other chapters that built upon his character. Eren had the best development any mc could have but in the end he has never changed? That just makes it so disappointing.
@@setokaiba3518 What do you mean? What changed his character development? The thing that makes him great is that unlike other shonen characters, Eren damn sure wasn’t all talk! Even if he planned to let his friends stop him in the end, he still wiped out 80% of humanity to make sure his friends had a chance. When he said he wouldn’t leave things to fate, while he didn’t stick to his word to kill EVERYBODY, he still kept his word! He still realized that despite the freedom he seeks, he could only work within the rules of the established world. It’s a lot like our own reality, we all want to be as free as we can and be whatever we want to be, but the older you get, the more you realize that most of us can only grow within our realities. It’s a tragic ending
@@eazybaby5094 When the guy himself knows why he's doing the Rumbling in 131 suddenly just doesn't know why he did it in 139? When 139 just adds the fact he allowed his mother to die just for past eren to get his motivation? What is 131 for when he was pretty much lamenting about what his mother would think about what he was doing,when he didn't give too much of a fuck about Ymir offing her in 139? What was the point of 121 where Eren frees Ymir by saying she's a human being when it's Mikasa who actually was supposed to be the one who saved her? Also Paradis is now going to war with at 20% of the world which is still a lot of people and now they don't have the Titan powers which helped filled the gaps for military power,Thanks 139 Eren for changing nothing and becoming this mass genocidal hero figure for Paradis.
Finally someone that understands toxic love
Yeah aots complex themes and story just for a Stockholm syndrome, garbage ending
@MrRisk lmao true
I’ve heard a lot of people hate on Reiner for the scene of him sniffing Historia’s letters because it disrespects all of the trauma and depression he’s endured, yet they seem to forget that Reiner has split personality. His warrior persona is depressed and traumatized, but his soldier persona was always super silly and brotherly. It was completely in character with his soldier persona.
I kind of understood the Ymir motivation part, but not entirely. But your explanation made it cristal clear and I totally agree with you.
More people need to see this video.
@@jon_odinson They totally do.
@@jon_odinson thank you for watching !!! shares are much appreciate dbebehehehe 😉😉😉😉
Wow, this is like, only the second video I’ve seen of someone liking the canon ending.
you put my thoughts into words thank you
This is basically my thoughts on the chapter summed up. Thank you.
Eren achieved all of his goals, but Paradis is basically the same as it was in the beginning.
Eren got rid of the Walls, got rid of the Titans, save his friends' lives and fly around the world in freedom. But Paradis is back to shouting, "SHINZOU WO SASAGEYO!", while charging at enemies who overpower their primitive technology. You know, like they did with the Titans.
It's like something Mr. Miyagi or Uncle Iroh would say. "True change comes from within, Daniel-san/Prince Zuko."
R.I.P. Pat Morita and Mako Iwamatsu 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
14:58 My guess why Sasha is so happy. Since the Rumbling killed so many animals, the afterlife is now full of delicious meat! 🍖
I really liked the ending too -- was suprised to see so many didn't. I cried a lot because it is very sad, I think many are simply upset their favourite manga is over.
Wow, this is so good! I also loved the ending on my first read and I haven't been able to stop thinking about the story since.
Can't wait to check out more of your content!
also look up parasitic jaeger it's the very bird that has been In many panels and the meaning behind them and where they are from it will blow your mind plus it wrapped the scarf around mikasa the bird represents eren in general
The ending was fitting and realistic. I actually liked it. I’ve been seeing all these videos of people hating on the ending and Eren which confuses me. Yes it was rushed and leaves some confusing questions which I hope the anime will answer. However that doesn’t mean it was bad. It was good in my opinion.
Eren moment of vulnerability with Armin was so realistic and true to his character. It shows he is human and had empathy. That he didn’t want to do the rumbling but felt it needed to be done. After all he is a 19 year old who has the burden of saving humanity inside the walls. Not to mention memories that are confusing him and all coming as one. He has been the most consistent. He made good on his word. He broke the curse with Mikasa, eradicated the Titans and gave paradis a chance to fight and be strong.
The author also shows that conflict, hatred and fear will always be there between humans. That the problem still exists.
Even though it was rushed the fact that we got to see Eren POV a little about how he feels about doing what he was doing. With Mikasa he wanted to leave it all and run away. He didn’t want to murder innocence. With Armin he broke down and chose to die because he was beyond redeemable for his actions.
Overall people had high hopes and insane theories and was left disappointed. Maybe by winter people will have accepted the ending and like it more lol. However more people have been accepting the ending as days pass by.
Anyway 10/10 will always rewatch this show and consider it a masterpiece
The ending will age like milk just wait. You can’t just say „oh it’s human conditions, he’s just 19 years old“. Well he started the rumbling with 19 years and killed 2 men’s with 9 years. We saw his melancholy and emotions in 131 and that was realistic but 139 makes no sense. It destroyed all his agency’s and the driving force of the show by making him to a plot device. Also the end is one dimensional and unrealistic as the outside world shouldn’t forgive paradise. War will go on Till one side is eradicated so eren accomplished nothing
Thanks a lot for this video. I do agree with you, there were parts that I did not know how to express it but you perfectly assembled the puzzle and helped me understand things, mostly when talking about the dialogue between Eren and Arwin. I do love the ending as well even if as you said, there are some situations that could have been explored more such as Ymir's point of view and the conversation between Reiner and Eren. Great video!
This is the best review ever from 139 I was confused and didn't know if I had liked the ending until I saw you vid. Thank you!
omg girl, I thought too that Levi was dying and I cried so so much (I have it on my reaction XD). I agree with most of the things you said. I liked the ending, it was fitting, it gave a good closure to the story, yet it felt rushed and it missed some things on the sides.
Yeah unfortunately it felt rushed at the end. Even if Levi would have died, I would find it okay, as in his situation, dying is easier to bear than carrying so many deaths in your heart, that pain should be unbearable. However, I think that the fact he was allowed to live has a better and beautiful message. It shows that even after so many lost, life goes on and as you live or survive, it is an opportunity to be happy until you die.
@@yoyoneel45 Yes that was my main problem with the ending. I think the ending was fitting it was good for the story but had so many execution problems, especially it was so rushed. I was expecting to see a bit of how the survivors were struggling it can't be easy to have survived, to have lost so many, and to see the atrocities that Eren did. We needed to see that and other stuff. I am hoping the anime adds these details.
In a very weird, twisted way, Eren was a slave to freedom and destiny but at the same time he was destined to be free the moment he was named Eren and Grisha said "You are free"
Ackermanns are products of Titan science then why aren’t they susceptible to the Founding Titan? If their abilities come from Titans then shouldn’t they be in the Founding Titan’s sphere of control?
If this was all a plan by Ymir then why did Eren have to convince her to work with him and not Zeke? Shouldn’t she just immediately side with him?
Yelena: Forgotten
plot line with the girl Mikasa saved in season 1: went no where
Mikasa's relation to the Azumabito clan: went no where
How does Mikasa make it back across the sea, even though Armin and her clearly said that if anyone saw him they surely wouldn't let him have a nice burial?
Love being shoved down our throats in this chapter even though it was almost never used in the 33 volumes before.
Eren whinning that he has to die, even though he just killed like a billion people, and as well as the fact that Eren has stated that he'd happily give up his life, as long as it meant changing something.
IF AOT is based on 1900's, then 20% of the estimated 1.6 billion people is 300 million. And you think that Armin can talk no jutsu 300 million people into having no conflict? Yeah maybe, cause this manga has turned to shit. But if it still had some decency, it would realize that the 300 million people would bear resentment, and within a few years/decades they would undoubtedly retaliate on paradis. 300 million vs 1 million + about 5 year head start.
The only way Paradis would stand a chance is if they had their one and only overwhelming weapon, the Titans. But Eren stole that from them. He literally left the series in a worse place than he found it.
No one, and I mean no one on the alliance died. Literally all the titans shifters of past couldn't take out a single member of the alliance. Worst case of plot armor I've ever seen. Objectively bad.
Everything Eren ever said or did was all an act, because he didn't know what future outcome he was even fighting for. He was just a slave to destiny, serving the child who killed his mom and would later go and get him killed to get over her Stockholm syndrome.
Eren becomes a plot device for the less important and far far far far less interesting characters.
Why didn't Eren go along with the original plan to do a small scale rumbling? That would have served Paradis way way better.
Oh it was for Historia? that platonic friend that he never had romantic feelings for? Yeah, the girl who chose him over the world, and the girl he helped get out of a depression, and the girl he stopped from being turned into a baby-maker? Yeah, no romantic connection.
At least not compared to Mikasa and Eren. I mean, the scarf bro. Yep, Mikasa was his true love interest all along.
So Eren's rumbling destroys most of the world and many upon many of innocent children, but the first thing Armin talks about is how Eren hurt Mikasa's feelings? Yep, just like Armin. You know him. Always so selfish and never thinking about the peaceful answers.
Character contradictions
Themes thrown in the dumpster
plot holes
and an unfinished story
THIS is what AOT chapter 139 is.
Oh lord touch some grass
@@sufman467 they're right tho
Cruel but beautiful. Exactly how i would describe aot's ending.
omg your voice is so soothing!!!
Finally someone with good facts..My opinion is that ending was rushed..It could've done better with few panels or different writing style..But that ending is way more realistic and bittersweet than what many of the fandom expected..I really liked that ending..
8/10 ending for me..❤
Anyway great analysis🔥
agree!!!
Thank u so much for that detailed explanation I forever loved the ending and it's realistic approach and ur explanation made me it for what it was and signified even more.
It is as bad as people say it. So many plot holes.. And nobody likes a story that makes no sense.
I finally found someone who doesnt hate the ending also lol
I like your perspective
"Why does Eren suddenly want to stop the rumbling/why does he want to suddenly not like the idea of rumbling"
Eren never wanted this. He never wanted the rumbling. If there was any other way he would've used it.
I was looking forward to this video. Quite curious on what you had to say. I had my own thoughts about the final chapter and I was kinda enlightened by the way this chapter meant to you. I really do wish we got to see how the remaining characters’ paths talk with Eren went. Those moments are what I love the most about AoT.
I watched and read Vinland Saga after AoT, maybe you’ll like it? It’s definitely a good series for me.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Thank you Isayama. 🕊
Thank you for watching! I definitely want to check out Vinland Saga
I love this beautiful ending, makes me cry ugly😭
Incredible video!
Lovely video! Thank you.
Good analysis, excellent compared to those who only complain and know how to say only Simp Eren and phrases of contempt for the ending, and be called immature because I think the end is perfect.
Thank you ! I think it’s a very fitting ending. People who are mad are the people who haven’t been paying attention imo
Complete disagree about Eren's tantrum. One of the reasons it's stupid is because Eren has never shown any ounce of wanting romance, so it's definitely forced and out of character. Plus the facade that he had was presented to us as his true form when he sees the paths, so I definitely do think it's a regression of character development. The only real emotion I feel he actually showed that was true to his character was when he cried for the random people he was going to kill.
Him wanting romance was subtle but it was definitely there. Things don’t always have to be said flat out for them to be true
@@McCaffreyMelon @McCaffrey Martone Where? I don't recall any instance of subtle romance. And even if there was, that ending that completely did a 180 on what his character has been showed to be for the past arcs is a complete contradiction to his motivation. Besides, Isayama had already said in an interview that Eren's love for Mikasa is more of a motherly role. This was back in 2018 and now we are to believe there was actual romance without any signs of any?
Very good analisis, I was hopeful you'd be one of the few who would appreciate the ending.
One topic you have dealt very little with and I think is key is the idea that Ymir's existance made future as fixed as past is, that's why Eren could see flashforwards of the future, so despite Eren is being a mass murderer he brought freedom from fate to what remains of humanity so their choices can at least be theirs. For a character who wished for freedom from space (leaving the walls, see the world) to find out he was a slave of time (Ymir's stablished future) he at least got his friends to have a long life, stopped titan's existance and liberated the world from fate. Maybe, despite the monster he became, he was a hero in a twisted way who only found his own freedom on his death.
also look up the meaning for numbers 139 and 140
Man, Isayama's a cheeky guy.
i don’t get it
@@saucyquis6953 google 139 numerology meaning
This is the best analysis of the final chapter I have seen so far. I liked the chapter, but not everything. Like you said, some things could have been worded different. You did make me appreciate this chapter more by pointing out things I didn't notice. My favorite part was Levi's sections. I think Isayama finished his character very well. My least favorite part was Eren mentioning sending Dina to kill his mom. It just messes with a lot of plot points and also is kind of a paradox. I don't think you mentioned this part (unless I forgot), so I'm interested in your thoughts on Eren being responsible for his mother's death. It just doesn't make much sense.
I somewhat mentioned it but to go a bit deeper , I don’t think Eren intentionally sent the Dina titan to kill his mom. I think it was part of the path that he didn’t see or couldn’t see. Like he said, he didn’t see the whole future, but from my understanding, the path seems to be set and stone.
Thank you for watching and I always appreciate your comments 💗
@@McCaffreyMelon it was a translation error instead of I sent her the actual translation is it couldn't be helped it was actually ymir who took control of dina Fritz to save bertoldt and to kill erens mom to cause eren to go down this path to kill the titans
@@jimmydare6392 Where can I find the official translation? When I look up the chapter online, the sites I see still translate it as "I sent" If it was Ymir who took control of Dina, then that is better because it doesn't cause problems with the story.
Excellent video, very well substantiated points and very thoughrough and complete.
I would like to share this video around but I am going to be careful, I sure don't want to infest your comment section with... let's say not very friendly people.
I would also like to mention a couple of things I thought:
- as you said nobody can blame Eren for his fear of death. Even Jesus Christ himself screamed out "My God, my God, why have you abandoned me!"
- in my opinion the Ackermann were actually not immune to the memory manipulation, just resistant. And Eren tried harder and longer than anybody else to break Mikasa's resistance. 10 years, to be precise. That's when her headaches started, and with a last headache he finally succeeded. I like this interpretation because it is another proof of his love for her
- also regarding Mikasa, Eren told her that he would have wrapped her scarf around her as many times as it would take to give her comfort. The bird I think is a metaphor although I think that now, thanks to his friends correcting his errors, he is finally free after the horribly tragic experiences he went through. As the bird flys away, we can hope that she is able to move on
Thank you for watching and for your response! I totally agree with you.
Also, I don't mind if you share it around because, honestly, I was already expecting there to be unfriendly people when I posted this video 😂 Surprisingly, everyone who has commented has been very kind !
I'm always open to hearing other people's thoughts, but if they're going to be rude, then I can't be bothered 😂
@@McCaffreyMelon Alright, I will still be careful, I might cause the rumbling otherwise
I am so glad someone gets what I thought about the ending all along!
Another thing that bothers me is the way Ymir’s plan is presented. Ymir needing Mikasa to end the Power of the Titans makes no sense. The story presents Ymir as someone who was intentionally waiting for Mikasa to make her decision to kill Eren so that would show Ymir that it is possible to love someone and defy their wishes for the greater good. But the problem is that if that is Ymir’s plan then it seems that she already wants to end the Power of the Titans, so why does she need the arbitrary addition of seeing someone defy their love in order to be motivated to end the Titans? If she is already calculating the outcome and waiting for Mikasa then that shows to me that she wants to end the power, so why doesn’t she just do it? It would be one thing if Ymir was randomly inspired by Mikasa’s act and then decided to rethink her life, culminating in ending the Power of the Titans, but painting it as a calculated plan just seems weird. It would be like an abused wife coming up with a plan to leave their abusive husband by orchestrating the abuse of another woman and waiting for that woman to leave their husband before she left her own husband. Just doesn’t make sense. The time travel/path stuff was interesting when they were first introduced, but they became stupid after it was all said and done. Story would have been better without them.
I personally don’t hate or like the ending in particular. I could see why Isayama left so many questions vague or unanswered because I think he wants us to interoperate the answers our selves.
My main issues is Historia’s baby plot, Eren killing his mother, whatever happened to Ymir, Eren’s breakdown scene, and Eren’s explanation in why he started the rumbling.
I mean I could see why Historia’s baby was not Ymir reincarnated or ever Eren’s child because I think it can brings up plot issues (and cuz I don’t like the feeling it was just there to screw with the reader).
Eren killing his mother wasn’t the biggest elephant in the room, but it is pretty notable. At first hearing about it I could see why Isayama did it, but giving it much thought and hearing what other people would say, and hearing one of isayama’s interviews, it definitely broke a bit of Eren’s character since Isayama did say he hated fate. So I think that scene could’ve been removed entirely.
And speaking of fate, I personally did not like that Eren mentioned that he didn’t know why he started the rumbling, and that he had no choice he had start it, because it was the path Ymir set. I think it could’ve been fixed that Eren had the ability to not go down that path, to not set Eldia free, but in his free will, he started the rumbling so that the world could unite against him to show that not all Eldians are devils and that Marley’s government would be so weak that they had to focus on rebuilding and not start a war.
And finally Eren’s breakdown scene, I think 138 was explanatory enough, or it could’ve been tweaked that Eren liked Mikasa without him breaking down because I did agree it did throw away Eren’s character development.
Despite what I listed I enjoyed were the ending headed to, I just the delivery came out wrong.
Edit: I know it got long
I wasn’t a Jaegerist, but based on the story that Isayama set up I think he needed to have Eren either succeed in the rumbling and deal with the ramifications of that act or be resolute in his drive and be stopped by the alliance. Either way he needed to commit to Eren using genocide to protect his people. Nothing is gained by walking back that motivation and painting him as the hero figure the whole time. And his agency was just taken away because it seems to be that it was just Ymir’s plan. It betrays the story and the audience to just spring this Lelouch type plan at the end and have all of his friends congratulate him for killing 80% of the world.
The story should have been a cautionary tale about the dangers of dehumanization, and how innocent people can be killed if we aren’t careful. Instead, Isayama bent over backwards to try to make the happiest ending he could for his characters even though it didn’t feel morally honest. And we needed more time spent in the three year aftermath. We didn’t get a good enough sense of what the state of the world is at that point in time. Things realistically shouldn’t be that much different with, at the very least, the remaining 20% should be conflicted over the Eldians. And Paradis should view the alliance as enemies as well. We needed more of a sense of what Armin was going to do if he is supposed to be the savior of the world. It’s easy to say that, but we needed to see how he would do that.
Not to mention Ymir actually loving Karl Fritz, someone who burned down her village, killed her parents, cut out her tongue, and tortured her by having her run for her life after she released pigs. And all of this when she was a child. Such a misguided addition to the story at the last minute. It’s one thing to say that she was caged in the mindset of slavery, and didn’t think she was worth anything beyond an object of power. But it’s a whole other thing entirely to suggest that she actually had love for Karl Fritz. The latter story really requires Ymir to actually be a character instead of an idea to properly develop her breaking free, but she’s just an idea. And if Mikasa turned out to be the key to ending the Power of the Titans then that should have been seeded earlier and she should have been a more prominent character throughout the entire series. The parallel between Ymir and Mikasa falls flat because they are both underwritten in the story.
All in all, good series, bad ending. I can still go back and enjoy it, but I have to retool the ending for my personal enjoyment
Agree. 139 feels like a retcon to 122. to make everything for a Stockholm syndrome is pure garbage. It makes no sense for mikasa to be important for the narrative. I feel like the ending got changed after 135/136. ymir looking at ramzi dying and freeing the pigs was pointing towards a different ending than a love theme
That bird is actually known as a parasitic Jaeger. So yes it can be said that Eren reincarnated into a bird.
I think the bird is a symbolic figure which represents the presence of Eren in a particular with the help of the power of the founding titan. My interpretation is that Eren traps himself in the Paths to always be connected with Mikasa, Armin and Everyone ( which was his only free will). At the ends he was able to be free from his cruel fate, and now is able to see the future even after his death as he is already overcomes his destiny.
@@piyalidasgupta4190 isn't the paths gone now?
In my opinion, when titans don't exist anymore, so does the paths as well (unless the titans are just some sort of byproduct of the paths)
Its understandable if people didnt like the ending because there was a lot of subtext
You make some hella convincing points!
If eren had never started the rumbling, then the war would go on and on and on and the titan powers would be used as a means of a destruction. If eren chose to live with mikasa then they're would be war on and on and on. His freedom was concept of others. Both side of him are selfish. If he goes on killing and wants his own freedom, his morality is grey but selfish. On the other hand. He is selfish for having to want mikasa. The point that they make of having eren just eliminating all of the world is absurd and the meaning of the story flops
And this is why people say art is subjective. We all interpret things in different ways and thats fine. I like hearing what others thought of the chapter. Also Erens story is very comparible to Odin's (Norse Mythology) and Odin uses birds to look over the world so i dont think its a reincarnation but more just symbolisim.
totally agree with you!
also, i did actually talk about some of the norse influences in this video !! ruclips.net/video/dWjJWY9VYn4/видео.html
2:48 the thing which I'm trying to explain everyone..I'm glad someone could see that..Cause Ymir's story literally started with love someone and they'll love you back(Ch 122)..Still people think that Isayama changed the Ending
6:07 I realized this too..I don't know why people don't understand Eren's character...they just live a cold-faced monster
11:26 I'm not ready for that😭😭😭
Few points I've figured out:
1. When Eren transforms to carry the rock he loses consciousness and the parasite hallucigenia takes over it looks at Mikasa with a pissed off vengeful look and goes in for the punch cause it knows it was her who kills it in the future.
2. Lost Girls OVA 3 confirms to me why Mikasa is important. She can see Mikasas from other dimensions and the "Paths" they've chosen during her headaches we've seen these alternate realities in Lost girls OVA 3 & chapter 138 that chapter is what happens if Mikasa confessed back in marley.
3. If Mikasa stopped Grisha from injecting Eren with the titan serum, Eren would still die so Mikasa had to choose the lesser evil to prolong his lifespan by shortening it.
4. Ymir probably went through the same thing Mikasa does now but never had the strenght to kill King Fritz. I believe Fritz wasn't a dick in other realities but in the one where he is, is the reality in which he gets to live probably cause Ymir sacrifices herself. She stopped him from dying in that reality.
I wish more people would actually study the show before bashing it and calling it senseless I believe it makes total sense but its not in your face but open for interpretation and this was mine.
I actually find the first point really interesting, but I don't believe in the time loop theory, I think its a linear timeline or at least that's my interpretation
I'm gonna send a grand total of three comments of my own that were on other videos that discuss my opinions on certain parts of the ending, brace yourselves, it's quite a read:
I'm just going to leave this here.
I'm satisfied with the way Isayama ended Attack on Titan. The things that we needed and all the things Isayama has been building up all cultivated into this singular moment.
Such as Ymir. What was her purpose ? What did she really want ? Simple. To break free of her love for King Fritz. And of course, people took this as Isayama saying that being in a Stockholm Syndrome relationship is real love, and it really isn't that at all. In fact, in the very panel we got Eren saying this, does it look like it's supposed to be the conventional idea of love ? Of course not. The fact that Ymir chose Eren and made him go through all of this should probably show you Ymir's love for King Fritz isn't one that he is trying to paint as romantic. You cannot say Isayama didn't tell us what her whole deal was. Now, is it satisfying ? That's the subjective part. But it does make sense.
Next up; the way Eren acted in this chapter making all of his decisions worthless. Now then. Isayama has again, laid it on very, very thick as to how the AOT universe works and specifically its attitude to time and the concept of fate. Meaning that things were going to happen one way and always will. This means the claim that Eren intentionally lead Dina to eat his mother. No. He is doing what the laws of the universe demand. I think the main frustrations that come from fans with Eren is because they feel like he did all of this for nothing. On the contrary, Eren doing this has been the point of his character since Day 1. He is essentially the only one cursed to know the laws of the universe and is constantly telling himself he is free in a world where freedom doesn't exist. Eren being Ymir's pawn isn't a case of character assassination, because Eren's actions were never his own in the first place. He has always been destined to become the devil of this world. That's what so beautifully tragic about his character here. It's essentially him coming to terms with this and realising he might be able to change things, but he can make sure the people he loves are better off than him.
Another part is people are calling him a simp for Mikasa and that's all he ever was. Because of course they are. But here's the thing, Eren Jaeger is a 19 year old teen. People always projected this idea onto Eren that he was so cool and he was gonna be the coolest guy who wasn't afraid of anything. But it simply isn't Eren. He isn't this unfeeling, cold God that everyone thought he was. Yes, he puts on a good game face, I'll give you that. But it's been clear since Day 1 that Eren would never kill his friends or anything of the sort. Literally everything he has done has been for their sake and it makes his character even easier to understand than he was before. And people are saying he's a terrible MC because he dared have a breakdown of the thought of leaving everyone he has ever loved and not wanting to die ? He isn't a fucking robot. He is barely in his 20s, for fuck sake. Of course he's going to freak out.
So Eren is like a character in a videogame that has become aware of his existence. He knows what his purpose is and he knows he can't fight it. But he is going to make sure that he leaves the world better for his loved ones. That isn't character assassination. That's ALWAYS been Eren Jaeger.
Now for the state of Parardis and how apparently The Rumbling failing makes Paradis a bigger target. Here's the thing, that was addressed. But literally 80% of the global population are flattened viscera pancakes and forests and ecosystems are now salads. Who is going to attack Paradis and with what ? There is nothing that can touch Paradis for generations to come. And even with this, the island had rallied in Eren's name and are fully prepared to protect it. Like, we seen the beginnings of Paradis and what is going to happen to it and it's literally covered in devoted soldiers with rifles. If that is so soon after the Rumbling, what are they going to have in generations ? And apparently people are mad because Isayama didn't solve hatred ? Like, you had one half of people wishing for literally everyone's death and the other side for World Peace to be achieved. Did it never occur to anyone that both of these endings are incredibly predictable and also very unrealistic ? Of course the story is going to end saying it's human nature for violence to always be there and for them to fight until the end of time. And it also leaves us with the idea of peace MIGHT happen and it might not. That is literally the best possible scenario for a story like this and it saves it from either stupid extreme. The heroes who saved the world might end up reuniting with Paradis and saving it once and for all. They could also easily be killed the moment we left them. It's up to us to decide if they manage it or not. But we will never know if they betrayed their nation for nothing and all of it was for not. That shit is incredibly bittersweet and consistent with the tone. The series's phrase is literally "the world is cruel, but also beautiful." What else could you want ?
And finally, the final panel. I don't really know what to say here. It's to close Eren and Mikasa's bond once and for all with some harmless symbolism. Does that mean Mikasa hasn't developed? Hell no. The fact that Mikasa Ackerman was the one to kill Eren Jaeger is evidence enough that she has made major steps for her character. And no, her crying over him isn't character assassination either. It's literally the fact she knew this guy all her life and he had an impact on her. That isn't something that just leaves you when it comes to losing someone you love. But she is managing to live her life without Eren. She can do whatever she sets her mind to. And in the end, that's all what Eren wanted.
In conclusion, you don't have it like the ending, or Attack on Titan as a whole. But. to say that it doesn't make sense or that Isayama ruined his own manga ? I'm sorry, that just isn't the case. It might not be what you wanted, but it's what makes sense.
And Historia's baby... You know, the more I think about this, the more I think that Historia unironically got the happiest ending out of all the characters. Think about it, after having her character reach its peak at the end up Uprising, she got to rule Paradis, and when the MPs thought about forcing her into eating Zeke, she discussed the idea of her having a child. There wasn't anything spetacular about all of this and I think that's the point. She fell in love with a man who turned his life around and atoned for his shitty acts as a kid, the two fell in love and had a baby together. Now she is the ruler of Paradis, has her own daughter, so she can be the mother she never had and an actual decent guy who will support them both.
If you look back on it all, the idea that the baby HAD to be something, that it HAD to be Eren's or whatever was never severly hinted at and was entirely on the fans. Of course, some think Isayama writing Historia off to be pregnant is a disservice to her chatacter. Where I'd agrue that her charater was finished long ago, and what she got in the end of all this was the family she never had. In fact, I would go as far to say that the people who genuinely think Historia's pregnancy only matters or only exists to be boiled down to "WHO FUCKED HISTORIA?" is infinitely more mysognistic and disrespectful to her character than the pregnancy subplot itself.
This is my idea and I personally believe that this is correct. I don't there is more than one timeline. I think we there is only one and Eren has ALWAYS done this and always will do this. He never will not do this. I feel like that with this chapter, Isayama has confirmed that Snk's universe works under predeterministic laws. Just one timeline and everything that has happened will always happen.
Eren talking Grisha into murdering the Reiss family has ALWAYS happened. It happened back when we first saw it and it happened right now. It never NOT happened. Eren wasn't aware of this until Chapter 90 when he kissed Historia's hand and saw an older version of himself talking Grisha into killing the Reiss family. That's what broke him and sent him into a daze like state for 4 years. As for time travel, it's more so that Eren from the future is revisiting old memories and doing what he had always done from the beginning. As for the Attack Titan's ability to see into the future host's memories, it means that Eren has shown Grisha what happens to the Walls and what goes down. It's what motivated Grisha into murdering the Reiss family. We never originally seeing him crumble before doing it but we see it now because it was what happened. So, yeah. Eren is showing Grisha what is going to happen via the Attack Titan, which is its power unique to it.
As for time travel and pararell universes. There ARE not pararell universes or timelines. There is only one and Eren doing what he is doing has ALWAYS happened and always will. It's a pre-determined timeline. We're only just now seeing it from Eren's perspective.
The following here is straight from Google;
"A predestination paradox (also called causal loop, causality loop, and (less frequently) closed loop or closed time loop) is a paradox of time travel that is often used as a convention in science fiction. ... In layman's terms, it means this: the time traveler is in the past, which means they were in the past before."
This lined up SO well with the rules at play and what Isayama has shown to us. Eren never phsyically went back in time. He has ALWAYS been there. He is essentially a ghost. It's LIKE time travel, but in this specific case, it's not. This has always happened. And always will.
Yeah I pretty much agree with everything you said . We got the same thing out of the story 👍
I thought it was crap, the ruining of Eren's character was just too painful for me to be okay with it. Isayama literally contradicts himself "i hate plot driven characters or characters that are enslaved to the plot" Yikes.
That didn't age well.
Even if the ending was different, Eren being plot driven would still be the reality, the first chapter is literally him dreaming the future. His destiny was always decided. I don't know if that would be considered plot driven or not in isayamas words, but it doesn't change that isayama made the start of the manga imply his destiny.
please make another analysis video upon the extra 8 pages of AOT
What I really appreciate is that (I think) Eren indulged Mikasa in a vision of what life could've been like if they ran away together - kinda like when Itachi put Izumi in a genjutsu that showed what a life of them being married would look like (from Naruto Shippuden) in that instant when he contacted her in the paths before she killed him.
Yeah I am pretty sure he did, just how he talked with Armim in chapter 139, he spoke and lived with Mikasa in the paths in chapter 138
2:40 I think I had an aneurysm hearing this
I really enjoyed the ending
Your voice is really soothing tho
Eren did everything he wanted to do. Let me explain: Eren acquired his freedom that he wanted, though at the expense of him dying but let’s be real everyone in the world besides the main crew would have wanted Eren dead for massacring almost the entire world. His freedom set him free through death.
Now he did this in a way that eradicating every titan in existence. He broke the curse of the Titans on his people and allowed them to live a long fruitful life. And they became the hero’s for killing him
He fulfilled his promise to Armin and went to the different places with him.
And we been knew Eren loved Mikasa. It was apparent when Dina confronted both of them when they retrieved Eren from Reiner & Bertolt.
I find it funny that anyone who likes the ending gets only 6,000 views, while people who hate it get 500,000 views
cause it was shit
@@supremeleaderfrancisco9062 how
@@spiderapple5839 ymir being in love with the king 🤮🤮🤮
@@supremeleaderfrancisco9062I can tell this video is bad because they only use head cannon and ch 139 without referencing actual panels before the retcons.
For your next analysis I would like you to take this into consideration. Some of the many things that seemed to have been left of by people. I'll mention just a few. One of them is in theory Eren groomed Falco (Eren and Reiner conversation) so he could understand both sides and would eventually take Annie to the battlefield while also saving the (avengers) at the exact same time they were about to lose. Also I don't see people showing that panel where Ymir is admiring a couple getting married, as foreshadowing her admiration for relationships and what it meant for her as a slave (who lost her parents and outcasts by her fellow slaves) to have someone want to marry her even if he was a cruel person, to her it meant nothing because her being recognized as a person was the king marrying her. Also Gabi serving the point of her parallels to Eren, in that unlike him a child who was intent on revenge and committed heinous acts she was liberated from hate while also getting an opportunity for a better life and future, highlighting that children like, Eren, Grisha, Zeke and the owl are not destined to be perpetrators of the same acts that made them be who they are in the world or a life of suffering. While Ymir's desire to see Mikasa kill Eren serves the show's view of showing that there is no one who is absolutely good or bad even her a slave who in some way never desired anything for herself or required anything from anyone. Would like you to show that scene in S1 where Eren tells Armin, that he will only make the choice of going to his house alone only if Armin thinks he cannot come up with a plan or when he said he is the only one who can save the world in S3. All in all personally I think Eren did everything he could to set the environment right for a better future to happen while still giving them the final choice for that future. Most notably we could here from those soldiers in the airship base reflecting on their actions and habits, this I would say this frees the outside world from living in suspicion of Eledians (cause their worst fears came to life), giving them a chance to take account for themselves and their future without mentioning or thinking of Eldians (as they don't have Titan powers anymore) and Eren reconciling the warriors and giving them back their loved ones and a longer lifespan also furthers the possibility of a future without war, also living it to Armin a person who precious life rather than idealism or nationalism. Sorry if it has grammatical and spelling errors, tired and sleepy.
Great analysis on this! Really interesting points, though I did use the panel of Ymir admiring the couple a few times in this analysis !!
@@McCaffreyMelon May bad I didn't notice. Another thing worth noting is that Erens attack on liberio might have not been to take the war hammer Titan but to make it impossible for himself not to be viewed as a threat to the world as his attack coincided exactly at the same time Willy was painting him as the true enemy of the world. As for numerous reasons Eren had a chance to activate the rumbling earlier and successfully destroy the world without involving paradise, for example the many times he met up with Zeke in Marley or him just turning Historia into a Titan, he could just turn her back into a human after he was done with the rumbling and in regard to the war hammer Titan he could just nullify its abilities from the current user. I also think he knew that Zeke would take him to his father's past and he knew that this would be the most opportunistic chance for Zeke to see Grisha in a different light and for him to reconcile with his past, also Grisha asking his help and apologising to him, this would eventually lead him to work with Armin (who was brought by Ymir herself)to stop the rumbling. Also another thing to note is that Eren took the responsibility and accountability of almost every known character (who committed heinous acts)in the series to himself or he took their sins as (sinners), notably Grisha, Reiner, Bertoldht, Annie, the Owl and to some extent Armin and everyone in paradise and accordingly every Eldian and the world from its previous acts on the Eldian population or from committing future heinous acts that would cause more wounds and more conflict. And he left it to optimistic Armin from keeping future atrocities from being committed, again that scene where he convinces the Garrison (for a moment) to reconsider shooting Eren and he still convinced Pixies. I think this reinforces even more that Isayama planned this ending we could argue about the pacing and delivery. But I read somewhere that the final volume will have have extra chapters, hopefully things will be made more clear for readers.
Also I think why the spine creature disappeared because it's technically a parasite that cannot live without a host, for example it lived for millennials or even millions of years attached to that tree and got a chance to live with another host when Ymir fell into the tree's water and it only died after its host Ymir or Eren decided to die. In an almost poetic way the tree did not have free will to choose to die and maybe lived for millennia or even millions of years but even after it attached to a host who had a conscious and the ability to choose, the new host did not have free will and kept on living with the creature without free will for centuries(in the paths maybe for eternity). While Eren the person without choice but free will freed Ymir from the creature's immortality and her eternal suffering while also freeing the creature from it's uncontrollable, yet purpose less, endless existence of survival. I also think Floc is the exact parallel of young Eren when he still did not take account of his own life (him saying he was ready to die in the end of S1 and all the other times kid Mikasa pulled a reckless kid Eren away from danger)and his loved ones when he made decisions and put ideology above anything else. But as we saw through the past seasons he gradually learned how precious his own life is (him hearing Keith's backstory that included his mother's words) and those around him(like Armin almost losing his life for him and the countless times Mikasa sacrificed her life for him and his wellbeing). In that when he made that choice to lose everything when he was older he was well aware about what he will lose, this time it was not only ideology that drove him but it was a chance of a better future for those who procted his life (countless times)and gave it meaning.
Here's a thought about Reiner's words about Eren. "What a man you are."/"You really are a..."
The translation isn't clear, but Reiner is clearly praising Eren. Well you know how the series says that Eren and Reiner are the same? Well now Reiner understands and empathises with his parallel, what if that encouraged Reiner to finally forgive himself? Since after all, Reiner is the same as Eren.
I'm not crying, you're crying. Reiner's my personal favourite character.
I just don’t like how it ruins Eren’s character. Throughout the entire story we saw it in the 1st person perspective of Eren. We heard all of his most important thoughts.
But the ending basically said eren planned it from the beginning due to Ymir. And kissing historias hand pushed him even forward with it, as he learned more. But of course he got his mother killed due to Ymir’s plan she set up for him, meaning this didn’t all trigger with him kissing historias hand.
To me it ruins most of the story, because it makes so many plot holes. It makes it to where eren doesn’t have a true character. He’s a teenager who knows too much for his own good. He’s like multiple different people.
To me, this type of ending would be good if it wasn’t AOT. But it’s hard to end a story they introduces a form of time travel
Edit: i really like your voice lol
Maybe you can do something about ask Goldie anything and share your opinion on it just curious you don't have to do it if you don't want to
I KNOW RIGHT😭😭😭❤️❤️
I dont think Ymir need Mikasa to show true love, Ymir needed someone to kill the host of the worm
the worm died as a result of eren dying, but it wouldn't have broken the curse on it's own
I think it's both a metaphorical and literal freeing of Ymir, it works in both ways
I actually liked the ending too
it's a well written ending for the story. Isayama likes to humanize his characters by showing them being "weak" emotionally, like eren crying over mikasa and his friends to the point that even armin calls him pathetic. Being emotionally unstable is what eren has always been and it was nice to see his true self at the end after all those tiring "chad eren" memes, people expected a 19yo to be a serious emotionless mass murderer like what??... I also like that eren is so egoistic that he created his own enemies and decided to save his friends even tho they didnt want to be saved. This video should have tons of views and likes so that more people understand, your analysis is great!!
Good video
Well yes, but actually no
Thank you! Finally someone gets it!
What if....
This was intentional so that we would watch the anime?
I like the ending, there are just some thing I hate. Eren killing his mom was full on idiotic
He didn't kill his mom. He made sure berthold didn't die and that decision lead to the titan eating his mom. I don't think Eren knew that was going to happen. Like he said, he only saw some parts of the future not everything.
Basically, most people read the final chapters with their brains turned off. They just didn’t understand what it was. And they also didn’t understand place the ending in the context of the entire series. Like, Eren seeking freedom for the entire series yet completely a slave to everything that happened.
And yes, Eren’s reaction about Mikasa’s feelings is straight up human and a guy struggling with the inevitability of his path and death, while still wanting to experiencing a life with Mikasa. He’s been internally struggling with this for the whole manga.
But yeah, I could keep going, but you nailed a lot of the important points. Though, I think you could have pointed out that Eren had no choice in everything that happened. Eren had to do everything he did because it was the only way to finally rid the world of titans. Everything led up to the point where Ymir could finally free the world of titans. Eren let his own mother die because otherwise Armin would have never gotten titan powers to help kill Eren. When he kissed Historia’s hand, he saw the future and manipulated the past in order to reach this ending. He had no other choice to end the titans.
I did talk about that though
@@McCaffreyMelon ok! Must have missed it. Fantastic job on the video. :)
Haha thank you , and thanks for watching. I definitely agree with your comment 🤟
I don’t see any explanation. You’re just giving us summary and overseeing obvious problems for your own opinion.
I literally said I was going to be explaining it how it made sense to me.... I stated that this was all my opinion based on how I perceived the final chapter
I really hated it in the beginning
But when I read it again I still think it's not that great but I think it's not bad
But that levi scene... OMG
That was gold
Levis scene was corny and forced
I think why people hate the ending so much is becsuse erens quote on quote freedom is so called true freedom which makes no sense as hes a slave to destiny and i think is a perfect parrellel to a truely free mc jolyne cujoh its litterally in her opening destiny is mine jolyne cujoh is a person who throughout her bloodline has been a slave to the curse of the joestar and dios minions yet she refuses to accept that just like eren but eren never had a say he thought he did but he knew deep down he never was free unlike jolyne who with her actions her sacrifice ended the curse of the joestars ring a bell the curse of the titans yet people seem to mistake erens freedom for jolynes freedom when thoose are completely reversed so since people misinterpretate erens charecter they hate the ending cause lets be honest almost every aot fans a eren simp
TATACAW
HAHAHAHAHAHAH
what was the point of jaeger saying eren he is free or showing the panel when he is wasn't free at all in the whole series then what was the point of wanting a freedom when you can't have it just because some destiny
It showed that no matter how much he wanted freedom or worked towards it, he will never be free. That’s the tragedy of it

yh the ending was good !!
def not bad !
Until you read the last few chapters to show how pointless all of it was
I respect that you liked this chapter but it's objectively garbage.
