Conclusion: Both Yeager brothers were killed that day beheaded by Ackermans
And they both wanted it to happen.
Yes :D
Exactly, my friend!!! And led back by the power of dialectics and the empathy of Armin Arlert. The only one who listened to them, understood them, forgave them, made them reconsider and accompanied them to the end.
Perhaps Ymir was also waiting for that connection between her people... who knows!
Zeke's death was so perfect, love that there was no bullsht cliché dialog between the characters. Levi was simply not fcking around this time and went straight for the head with no hesitation
Quick cuts and kept moving
It was soooo satisfying :D
The fact the Levi didn't even wonder why Zeke was so stupid to expose himself and went straight for the kill really made me burst into tears laughing
I think if you laughed then you kinda missed the point of the scene and the characters of Levi and Zeke.
The death was supposed to be cathartic and unsatisfactory because Zeke willingly did it.
@@SSW777 I didn't see it as unsatisfactory at all. Levi truly wanted to fulfill his final order and he FINALLY got to do it, that's pretty satisfying to me. He almost looked liked he was in a trance showing how deeply he felt that kill. Since nothing mattered to him more in that moment than Zeke dying, it doesn't matter if Zeke was willing or not. Zeke's will was never part of Erwin's order, the point was that he finally completed the last loose end for Erwin.
@@SSW777 what do you mean. Erwin died for this, it's the one promise he couldn't keep and you think he wouldn't take it when the chance presented itself? bruh what are you on
Levi, lost an eye, two fingers and is now in a wheelchair, giving candy to little kids because he don't want them to live a life like he did. The kids probably don't even know that he was the strongest soldier to ever exist on the survey corps.
Yeah, that is such a badass ending. =)
the strongest? nah that was Thomas Wagner
Levi lives in Marley btw, he lives there with Gaby and Falco, helping the children who become the war victims, helping planting the trees and anything to help restore the environment which is mostly damaged because of the rumbling. Levi is always the hero pre and post war
That is so awesome =(
Thank you for the journey, the whole experience to re-watch AoT for the 38277 times. As a manga reader I feel satisfied with the anime ending. Levi lives on as the last of the old guard, to pass the story to the future generations, as we can see that he lives in Marley with Gaby, Falco, Onya, and Yelena. I am so happy for them. I suddenly remember that several years ago I decided to drop the manga because I thought levi is died, but then I picked the manga again after hearing from the AoT community that he is still alive. I am glad that Levi manages to keep fighting, keep moving forward despite everything that happened in his live. Post war, he still helps the conservationist to restore the environment after the rumbling. He is such a great character at least for me. And I am happy I always root for him from the start till the end. Sayonara again to Levi, Gaby, Falco, and all Attack on Titan characters. Thank you Isayama.
it was a masterpeice! =)
The only thing that really made me cry in this episode was seeing Levi cry. He has held it in for so long. He was numb. Seeing Levi crying was a kick on my heart. The only person who lost everyone he cares and the only survivors to his comrades. Levi, the last man standing
I agree with you here l love his chapter iş amzing and sad one too
yeah, that was harsh
I got legitimately excited when I saw Levi start doing his signature beyblade move and just soloing all those ancient titans. The voice acting was on point too, a call back to his OVA against the aberrant titan, showing that he is feeling true rage in this moment, that it really is a do-or-die scenario.
Yeah, he is top tier!
LEVI was truly a soldier, born with nothing and gained a lot just to lose it all again and STILL kept fighting to complete the mission
I love how the Wings Of Freedom fade away at the same time with Levi's farewell. The symbol that the Survey Corps are over with the Humanity's Strongest Soldier doing the last stand.
=( Now I am sad again
Good story, good ending, 10/10! Huge respect to Levi even after the going through so much, he is still working for the victims of Aftermath of War ; he Still chose To find meaning in serving to make the Kids smile, the true definition of hero.
I love it is amzing show l Will miss them all
@@user-uu1hv8nv6i me too
Yeah, I loved the end =)
My man Jean is alive I am happy for that and also my other favorites characters Gaby, Connie, Levi, Reiner, Annie, Pieck so happy for them
me too. =)
Levi as the last person of ALL the old guard to be still alive, literally saw all his comrades die and cried when finally he completed his duty. Levi will always be our humanity's strongest soldier
This LEVI vs ancient titans scene was phenomenal, the soundtrack and everything was perfect. LEVI IS STILL DA GOAT
Yeah, levi is the chad! =)
Levi vs ancient titans scene is even better display of Levi's skills than Levi vs Beast Titan, since here, he lacks an eye and two fingers, but despite all that he soloed two War Hammers, one Jaw and one Female titan in only 20 seconds. This is definitely his most impressive feat in the series, at least for me.
Yeah but they weren't really full on intelligent. But yeah still extremely impressive
yeah. he is the real beast :D
I think the coolest thing about this finale is that it wasn’t just that Eren saw the future, but rather, that someone with so much rage and hate in his heart had the power to see the future, because he could only aim towards a future where his desires were fulfilled. Especially his childhood desires: an empty world outside the walls and a world without titans. How he achieved this is the problem, but I do see Eren as the result of his surroundings, and a bigger allegory of how the hate we carry and the traumas we instil on the younger generation will create cycles of hatred and violence. Eren is the epitome of this: a man with all the power, being guided by his childhood dreams and traumas.
We can’t justify what Eren does, but we can’t also separate Eren from the world he was born and raised in. Same way we all have the risk of becoming ‘painter people’, we also have to see Eren as a reflection of us and wonder: am I fighting for my dreams in the right way? Is my happiness coming at the expenses of someone else’s? Am I being naive in how I pursue my dreams? Am I being too shortsighted?
That’s why I think Eren’s character is brilliant: because we have followed him for the entire show and can understand him so well, which is why this tragic turn into villainy opens our eyes into what the story was really about.
Yeah, eren is like the ultimate corrupted child. =(
Seeing the scene with Levi salute to his fellow squads, was the saddest part of this episode because he lost literally everyone: Hange, Erwin, uncle Kenny, mom Kuchel, Isabel, Farlan, Petra and other members of his former squad, Levi has constantly loses the people he was close with, had to watch people die, and now even after the reign of titans has ended and he survives, he was bound to wheelchair with only Gaby and Falco, as his companions
Yes your ritht here gabi help him in end too that so sweet and of her and her husdund foclo ❤ have nice day my friend
Yes, in general the scouts reappearing was really gut wrenching.
Notice how Levi stared at that lollipop, he was reminded of that creepy clown from when he visited Marley for the first time, he was having PTSD from that clown🤣
I would like to explain it in another perspective: He met the clown in the Liberio. When he sees the lollipop, it reminds him of the clown who probably already dead in Liberio because of rumbling.
cerepy clown was soo random but I loved it :D
Captain Levi, you will always be humanity's strongest soldier!!
Yes, he is the goat! =(
Now imagine if there's more Ackermans that survive, imagine a whole scout regimen with Ackermans
That would be too broken :D
You should've gone for the head
-Thanos
Finally someone listened to him!
Yes, and twice as well (gabi in 4x19) :D
Congratulations for finishing Attack on Titan, and congratulations, I think you are the No.1 reactor with the longest reaction ever for this final episode (2 hours 33 minutes and 32 seconds) plus the discussion (2 hours 21 minutes and 48 seconds) so total 4 hours 55 minutes and 20 seconds. You deserve the Oscar or Grammy or whatever award for your passion, thank you mate! Shinzou Wo Sasageyo! and Sayonara!
Thanlk you so much for your kind words, I am happy you got value from these reactions. I learned so much and it is definitely my favourite story ever. =) What a brilliant ride! =)
Levi just parried attacks from a Jaw Titan. Let's ignore for a moment the sheer fact that shifters can lift hundreds of tons and Levi had to somehow achieve this without these attacks breaking his every bone on contact. But most of all, Jaw is the most agile titan with the greatest destructive capabilities. His claws can literally shred right through crystallized armor. Levi couldn't just block these attacks, he had to carefully redirect slashes away by catching them with his swords. and he does it all mid-flight. Levi is simply BROKEN!
Biggest plot armour scene ever
he is the true "beast titan" :D
the bullshit power of anime
2:12:29 NOTICE: Levi isn't one of Allied Force Ambassador, he now lives in Marley with Gaby and Falco, he helped the orphans who lost their parents because of the rumbling
I am so happy to see my man LEVI ACKERMAN alive, he is my hero, my saviour, he is the last man standing
Levi gave out one final salute to his fallen comrades, telling them that their work is done and they can finally rest now, is the best and saddest moment in this final episode.
=(
Can we all just appreciate the role Captain Levi played from beginning to end? He grew up in underground city, lost his mother at an early age, was acknowledged and mentored by his Uncle Kenny and Erwin. He was given a chance to make a difference in the world, take on titans and fight for humanity. He has lost friend after friend and had been hurting inside for so long but he still kept fighting and kept moving forward. Even when he had to help take the life of a young man who he probably saw himself in, he had finally reached a point where he could rest and be content with the fact that he gave his heart for humanity. Long live the strongest soldier, Levi Ackerman.
I love the end so sweet gebi and foclo in they married ❤ but l agree with you here
agreed bro
💯
long live Captain Levi
He is the definition of true hero
Jaw titan is the fastest, most agile titan, with most destructive claws, and Levi casually blocks a combo of his attacks holding his sword with 3 fingers of a single hand. I used to think Spiderman vs Levi was not fair because of how strong Spidey is, but after seeing this, I'm pretty sure Levi would outmatch Spidey too. Levi is basically someone with Captain Americas powers with Spidey's spider sense with gear that echoes Spidey's web slinging alongside being grumpy and insanely skilled.
Levi the GOAT!
@@storieswithstyle yes forever G.O.A.T Levi
@@storieswithstyle yes LEVI IS GOAT
Holding blades with 3 fingers, seeing with only 1 eye, no where near his full power and he is soloing the past generations of each of the 9 Titans - He is my Captain Levi
Pure Titans: Oh sh*t it's Levi
Titan Shifters: Oh sh*t it's Levi
Animators: Oh sh*t it's Levi
So true :D
Captain Levi parried the jaw titan with ease, Levi forever be HIM
H epalyed enough sekiro and Lies of pie xD
The ending is amazing, the way I see the post credit scene is that when Ymir found the tree, she was fearing for her life and desperate to do anything to live and thus she was granted the power of the titans, but this boy we see isn't in the same situation at all, an optimistic and excited boy exploring the unknown world, leaving me with hope that maybe this time it will be different
I agree with you here l fell şad for yimi here
That is assuming that the parasite is in the tree, maybe it s there, maybe not
Plus Ymir made Titans and the paths, Zeke said during his discussion with Armin.
So it's what the boy will do with whatever power and life he desires will decide what happens.
As if Levi wasn’t enough of a badass! The fact that he could react to and BLOCK blows from the Jaw Titan is absolutely ridiculous levels of speed and strength. No non titan shifter has a feat anywhere near that. Really Mikasa is the only character you can argue comes even remotely close to him.
he is the true beast!
Zeke : "Hi, Levi"
Levi : and I took that personally
The Rumbling : "unable to establish the connection, the server may be unreachable"
Lmao
I initially could not understand why the writers decided to disable Levi, supposedly the coolest character in AOT. Now I understand, it shows the amount of sacrifice and tragedy humanity went through, and still kept fighting, all for peace. The point was never to idolize Levi but to let his character prove a point, and I admire the writers all the more for that.
Aot has only one writer, Isayama
Tbh, it would've been epic, and brought everyone to tears if Levi got up in spirit away from his dead body, doing the salute, and spirit walking towards all his comrades.
yeah, he is the unwavering spirit of fighting for "good" in th eclosest sense to "good" I think .=( What a chad.
Notice how Hange is the only one that looks sad. She's sad because she didn't want to leave Levi
=(
I don't think people realize how much pain Levi must of been in. He literally took a thunder spear to the face and was in a comma not even 3-4 days ago, but he keep on fighting. Forever with Levi Ackerman, my hero.
Yeah, he is a true beast!
It probably goes without saying but the reason the scene with the baby at the cliff gets me so much is that while people are doing their best to save it, they're also just passing it towards oncoming doom. There's no way to save it, but they try anyway.
Yeah, what a scene =(
I AM HAPPY LEVI LIVED!! He deserved a good solid ending and that look at the candy just made it wholesome. The sacrifice Levi gave to humanity is incredible. Thank you Levi Ackerman
By the way, the final lyrics where the boy and the dog appear, say that we must stay away from violence and it is a hopeful song. There are some who believe that the titans will return, but they were born by the psyche, fears and desires of Ymir Fritz... as Zeke said. Therefore the titans will not return, since they were born by the desire of a slave girl with fears... the child at the end is the complete opposite, he is a free adventurer with a friend who is a dog... different from Ymir who A dog was chasing her to kill her.
I think it is something new. Something with exploration perhaps. =)
1:54:26 this scene also made my cry, seeing all fallen scouts, Erwin, Hange, Miche, Moblit, Petra, Oluo, Gunther, Eld, Nanaba :(
They were the real ones =(
Levi had it too easy with the current titan shifters, he really said "Let me at their ancestors too!"
Yes :D
Titans are just titans to LEVI . He's raw as hell fighting against them, he really parried the jaw titan so easily too.
he is the true beast! =)
Seeing Levi give out candy breaks my heart. The strongest man reduced to a haunted and brolen man. I really wish he had a good life from then on.
Also, it's good to see Grisha is still beating up wome- I mean titans... Yeah.
He probably had a good quiet life I would like to think =)
Congratulations on finishing this masterpiece🎉
It was the ride of a lifetime =) =(
I love it is amzing show ❤😢 l Will miss it have nice day my friend
Its so interesting that you can catch on deep intellectual aspects of the show, but not the emotional aspects 😅
Mikasa's emotions , behavior and reactions made so much sense to me throughout the show and it was real and "true".- maybe cause im a girl😅-
I was so thankful for Eren to relieve her from the guilt of"what if i said to him i love him" and showed her what would happen if she did, also give her a glimpse of satisfaction of living with him as she wanted.
- i think its Eren who showed Mikasa the other reality not Yemer
I currently definitely think it is Ymir, because a) Eren did not have founder anymore at the time of the memories and b) Ymir did send anothe rbizarro world to mikasa in 1x8/7 as seen in lost girls 3. But if we say he did it, that was very kind of him. =)
You are one of the few people who truly, truly, truly understand Attack on Titan. I wish more people watched your nuanced reactions :(
Zeke was actually referring to Grisha as his father. He just didn’t look at him when he spoke those words
Are you sure? That is interesting!
@@storieswithstyle it was Zeke acknowledging that even though they never got along, he was at least grateful to Grisha for conceiving him, as that led to his happy moments with Mr. Ksavar.
I love how tragic it is for Eren because he has finally come to understand that he was never free. Even when he saw memories of the future and tried to change the future, the future never changed because who he was never changed thus proving that even it he didn't have the future memories, the conclusion would've remained the same.
Also, he can only hope he freed the titans. All clues he has is that he can not see past his death. But that might not mean necessarily the titans are gone. perhaps the newborn baby that got attack just started a new chain for all he knows... =(
@@storieswithstyle true he had no idea if everything would truly work out in the end and the cycle of hatred and violence repeats as showcased in the finale post credits with the fall of the island. It's a realization if not for the characters than for us the audience that whether titans are gone or not, human nature isn't and that, like you've said in your multiple reactions, we all have a devil inside us, titan or no titan.
You should read the lyrics to the ending credits song, "To you from 2000 or 20.000 years ago", it gives a lot of context to what happens during those last scenes. But basically, the kid at the end finds himself calmy in front of the same type of tree that Ymir found herself in ( now it's the tree where Eren was buried ), without him running away from fear, which leads us to think; whatever he found inside the tree, might of gave him a power different to Ymir, possibly something out of hope. Not confirmed, but it's a great theory given the way the kid emotions were portrayed during those last seconds.
I'd like to think he found the power to explore. =)
This probably has been said somewhere else, but the mother holding the child is the same one that Eren saw in Marley in the 4xSP1-that's why he was suddenly so upset.
Congrats on finishing this wonderful series!!
Oh, i didnt realize. Maybe its because the non-bluray version didnt have her blonde
I agree with you here l hope they rest in peçe afer happy life ❤tho
Eren last ep caused a mom to be split from her child just like ep 1
Wow. I believe you are the only reactor who understood the Ymir x Mikasa connection! It is pretty much Ymir saying "show me the cycle can be broken" and "A person can still do the right thing even if blinded by love". The tragedy is that Eren loved Mikasa while, in contrast, King Fritz still saw Ymir as a slave even after taking a spear for him.
not sure if anyone else has commented this but Attack on Titan is Mikasa's story, Eren's Pov, and Armin is the narrator.
Awesome catch! =)
Many people seem to miss it, but the Ram was supposed to be Tom Xaver's Beast Titan.
Yeah, I missed it too =D
I’m so glad you enjoyed this series - it truly is one of the greats! Thank you for helping me to understand the nuances of the ending better too, I always enjoyed it, but was never able to fill in all the gaps on my own! You really managed to pick up on some things that went completely over my head and I’m so grateful for this journey and your sharing of perspectives, stories of the recent past, analyses and emotion. It’s been a pleasure and I can’t wait for more of your reactions
My take on the alternative reality with Mikasa is that it's not really an alternative reality.
It's what Eren imagines what it would have been if Mikasa confessed to him when he asked her her true feelings. And he's showing her this with the power of the founding titan like he did for his final exchange with Armin, Reiner and everyone else.
Also I have to say: the scene with the baby in front of the rumbling is also for me the strongest scene of the show. Loved your reaction
Yeah, what I am sure about is that not 4 years passed in there. it is basically Eren at least apologizing for chosing his hate over mikasa. Ironically, that makes her see that Eren did not have her as his primal value, hence being able to set herself free. Really loved the subtext of this scene! =)
Is amzing l love Annie and Rinier and fazi gabi did will in his battle l fell şad for poor People here keep going king your the best❤@@storieswithstyle
The Way I interpreted the Mikasa Eren scene, was if she did say”I love you” , or something instead of “family”, Eren would of run away with her. it’s also possible he knew she wouldn’t say it from his memories, and he wanted to confirm it.
Yeah tho he knows Mikasas not gonna run away with him, he just wants to spend time with Mikasa b4 he dies. 4yrs is fast in the real world. Mikasas memories cant be altered so he did it real time when its shown to us. Thats y after the "4yrs" Mikasa woke up and knew exactly that Eren was in the mouth.
A lot of people say aot isn't a love story. But this show is absolutely one of the most beautiful love story ever told. No matter the ending.
I actually do think the bizarro world was ymir now, Eren did lose founder 8stopped rumbling), so he could have not send the memories in that place. Also is consistend with Lost girls 3 where Ymir send the other bizarro world.
@@storieswithstyle i never thought about that being a world made by yimir before you mentioned it. But thinking about your theory, now i feel less certain about what i thought before. my only hold up is i just dont see reason why yimir would be the one to create those worlds in the paths for mikasa. its not hinted at in the scenes either. no silhouettes of yimir, or her in the back ground watching like she is in other scenes she has some part in. like when the past titans all show up, they make it clear that its yimirs doing, and for ppl who dont catch that, they even have armen say it later. but thats my only hold up for that theory. the fore shadowing in this show is so good, that even in the ova, i think they woulda snuck in a hint its her somewhere. it makes sense to me that it would be eren doing it, just because he wants to have a good bye with her, and tell her to forget about him. its his attempt to set her free from her devotion to him. i need to brain storm more on the subject. especially about the logistics of that scene and eren becoming colossal in size. possibly lingering founder power like after he punched dinas hand in S2 final. when hes running away and makes titans attack riner n bert.
Chapter 3 summary:
It's a bird! - Falco
It's a plane! - "flying boat"
It's the Cambrian explosion! - what Zeke is talking about and the alien thingy
xD
Congratulations! I love your perception and reaction much.
The Parallel from two ackermans
One Stopping the Rumbling
One ending the Rumbling.
Zeke Died by the Hands of an Ackerman with his eyes close
Eren Died by the Hands of an ackerman with his eyes open.
Levi killed Zeke with Hatred in his heart.
Mikasa Killed eren with Love in her heart.
Eren orchestrating this to kill all the Titan as he did say from the begging.
Also Ackerman are immune from memory removal so this means that Eren showed Mikasa all of their life together until he passed at that moment in Time.
Eren was on a Titans Mouth on Season 1 and he said there is no way he will die in a place like that.
Eren literally died on a Titans mouth.
Everyone saying Eren looks like her mom from earlier the Season to him looking more like his father towards the end.
Armin being the last one to reach the tree again.
It's so goooood
It's such a Masterpiece.
It indeed is! =) Thanks for recommending it so much! =)
I fell şadfor them all here but l agree with you here my friend❤
If you ever see this I just wanna thank u for reacting and commenting on this series.
You might not have been the biggest AOT reaction guy view numbers wise, but you were certainly my favorite and I loved all of your analysis, predictions, and overall comments, not even once did I even thought skipping any part of your videos, I will forever hold these videos close to me as a reaction and review of someone over analytic just like me who actually taught me stuff of the series I had rewatched plenty of times yet thanks to you I could still discover new stuff to be amazed at in the writing, you even noticed stuff I hadn't seen any other reactors comment on and each time I was so glad to see you comment on the same little details I love about this story, it really made me feel close to you personality wise.
And for all of that and for being an overall great and amazing guy to watch this series with again, and for making Attack on Titan ever greater than I already thought it to be with your analysis on the story and its messages, *thank you so much for everything* , I'm sad to see these reactions go, but I'll 100% stick around to watch your content and hope you and your family the best of the best.
Thank you so much for your kind words. =) It was such a blast! =) I hope we will find something that is as thougth provoking and intresting as this. I quite enjoy deathnote, and while it is not on an AoT level (yet), it does pose interesting questions as well. =)
Thank you, following these reacts was one of the best things I've done in recent times, it was really amazing
It wasn't Ymir that showed Mikasa's the dream, it was Eren. That was an alternate future that would have happened if Mikasa said "I love you" instead of "we are family", but Eren chose to End the Power of Titans with Rumbling. Like Eren and Zeke wandered for years in Grisha's memory, Eren and Mikasa did spent those 4 years in the Paths. Everything happens in an instant in the Paths.
The most brilliant thing about Isayama is, he was FUCKING 19 YEARS OLD when he conjured this story! He definitely had a big draft drawn up, planned everything and worked backwards. INCREDIBLE GENIUS.
Thank you for your reactions, you were one of my favorite reactors! I looked forward to your uploads every day :) My favorite was your reaction to the basement episode, you have no idea how happy it made me
The fact that Eren, Mikasa, and Armin died in the order of who reached the tree first in the race. Mikasa let Eren get there first as well, and she's the one who killed him. The symbolism.
Yes =(
I also enjoyed very much how the show wrapped up. In my opinion, perfect ending for this masterpiece. All the praise for Isayama, the voice actors, the animators, and the music composers for making this amazing show. Rewatching it only increased my opinion of the show that was already very high. It's actually insane that Isayama started this story when he was 19 years old and it's his first and only work.
Agreed 100% =)
What an amazing journey! you being a physicist, a writter and german add such an interesting insight, knowledge and interpretation of the series that I haven't found anywhere else.
The more I watch this anime the more I like the ending. Everything makes sense in my brain, the reasoning of the characters and their actions, the themes tied to them, etc. It's not perfect ofc, but the flaws are so meaningless compared to what the series gives us.
- The world is cruel but ALSO beautiful
- Everyone is a slave of something
- Escape the forest
Such powerful quotes!
Thanks, I am glad it added some value to the show! =)
I agree, the flwas are kinda meaningless. Everything has flaws, but the wisdom in the show is just amazing =)
One of the best reviews of the Attack on Titan ending I've seen. I'm so glad you got the message, because some people weren't too happy with the ending. They thought Eren’s character was just ruined in the end. Its not. But the reality and Eren’s tragedy - he was always like this. He's just a kid who never grew and with a personality disorder. His character’s growth is that he was at least be able to admit it to himself in a dialogue with Armin. Which is unusual for people with personality disorders.
I'm not sure if I'd agree with the way you see Eren's "plan". For one, it is repeatedly spelled out that either Eldians become mass murderers or the World eradicates all eldians, there was only ever a choice between different types and timelines of a genocide or a series of genocides, Eren really didn't have much of a choice if he wanted to see his people, his friends live ...Eren's goal was reached, he spells out what he wants in S04-P1-E10 at 18:10 "So, I want you to have long lives." All he wanted was a complete life of peace for his friends(well, as many of them as possible), and he was promised a path towards it, and followed it, since the alternative was them dying in wars or a series of genocides... that's it... yes, he is a selfish mass murderer, but he did it for his friends... it also meant the power of Titans will be eradicated, but that was probably of secondary importance to him... For Yimir I think(have no proof) it was important that when she seizes to exist her "children"(all eldians) have a fighting chance against the world... so the world was leveled. When Eren and Ymir is gone the world is equalized, ground 0. Everybody is free and has "equal" chance of "winning"... as we can see in the after credits scene, it ends with the world eradicating Eldia... Let's not kid ourselves, the world (ours too, obviously) is and for the foreseeable future will be a "Kill or be killed" world...
Your interpretation of the character's personality and psychology is very awesome! love those
Thank you, glad you enjoyed them =)
Eren said he is a slave to freedom because he was not satisfacted with the "outside world" and wanted empty with no humans left like he always imagined it so he can finally be free outside the walls so he just went with the future he saw without making that much effort to change it because deep down he was content with it , with eradicating most of people outside , even while knowing how wrong this is he just went with it because he was genuinly enslaved to his "freedom" and could do nothing about it
I was waiting for this moment for a long time, I love your reaction, throughout the entire series you were drawing conclusions and thinking about the ending, I'm really excited to see this last chapter with you and all the subscribers, greetings from Chile!!!!
All the best to Chile! =) I am so glad it ended in a way I really liked. =)
It wasn’t all for nothing. Eren did get his wish. The titans are gone , and his friends did live long lives. The fighting does continue in the end, but this is long after all of his friends passed.
He does not even know the titans are gone, though, I think. I kinda like that. He was caged by his desire till the last breath.
Ymir doesn't have as much power as you think. Although she holds the ability to decide who can use the Founding Titan's power, she seemingly cannot use some of its main abilities such as erasing memories or showing future memories to past users, or else she would have already seen the future. In the end, she decides to let go of the power of the Titans because she sees Mikasa kissing Eren after she decided to kill him, which I think is meant to show Ymir that you can still love someone by letting them go. Ymir is smiling when she sees this btw
Ymir watched Mikasa like she's been watching all Eldians throughout these 2000 years, however it is my belief that the headaches are linked to trauma rather than Ymir watching the world through Mikasa's eyes. Otherwise it wouldn't make sense for Ymir to choose Mikasa to observe - how could she have known how special Mikasa would turn out to be before it happened? If Ymir could see the future, I don't think she would get convinced to end the world by Eren if she didn't already want to.
Another thing. The memory Mikasa had of her living with Eren is quite ambiguous and without a proper explanation but here's my take on it:
Whilst on the boat to Ohida, Eren brought Mikasa (and everyone else) to the Paths. Eren brought Mikasa to the moment where he asks her "What am I to you?" and she says tells him they can run away together. For the next few months, live together in that cabin on the mountains "playing along" with the narrative they chose to go with, and trying their best to forget about the real world which is why Eren mentions that Mikasa said they wouldn't talk about "that stuff". Eren knows Mikasa is struggling with her choice to kill him in real life so that's why he reminds her when he told her to forget him, just to give her that final push. Eren's titan markings appear at the end of that long dream because that indicates when he is using the Founding Titan's power. They showed up when he was about to erase Armin's memories. In this instance they appear when he is sending that memory to the future Mikasa who is riding on Falco in the real world.
To me this explanation works otherwise the alternative is Eren manipulated Mikasa's memories in some way, which would not make sense as it was established that Mikasa is of not one but TWO of the races that are immune to the Founding Titan's memory manipulation.
I use the words "real world" to describe the world not in the Paths, however I think it is better to think of the Paths as a completely different world entirely, and not just something in Eldian's heads as they are able to think and feel in the Paths while time is flows differently in the other.
It's been established that you can (or at least the people in AOT) can survive for a few moments after being decapitated, so I believe it's safe to say that Eren survived at least long enough to feel Mikasa's kiss after his head was cut off, which is why the Paths exist for a few more moments after his head is severed
The only memories Eren had access to before he gained the full power of the Founding Titan were the memories that himself from the future (Founding Titan Eren) showed to Grisha in the crysal cave to manipulate him into killing the royal family. When Eren touched Historia's hand in S3, he saw only the memories that were specifically chosen to push Grisha over the edge. Those memories were the only glimpses into the future that Eren knew about. He did not know everything which is why he would "test" it out every now and then. One example *could* be when he asks Connie if Sasha had any last words. It's possible that future Eren showed Grisha Sasha's death and Eren wanted to test if he already knew. He starts laughing not because he finds her last words funny but because just like him laughing at the end of S2, "nothing changed". As in, the memories played out exactly the same way as when he saw them.
I do not think that eren sent the bizarro world. Mikasa just not telling anyone without it being stated somehow would be weird. So from that I think the fact that a) eren di dnot have founder anymore as the memories happened (if we do not place them at the time where Armin and co. get theirs) and Ymir did give a bizarro world before (if you buy that ymir is the butterlfly in lost girls, where she has headaches with the fruit I think and it is revealed there was another ymir interference). Just my current take on it, though. I think Ymir was intrested in mikasa first because she was so good at fighting and perhaps a potential role-model as a "strong woman" and when she realised that they were both in toxic relationships she followed her along. As the paths are timelss, that might have happened after we see her get agency from eren. She did not necessarily see all eldians, but as Eren did have Mikasa and Armin in mind somewhat I think it is reasinable to assume she would take a look at them first as she might have wanted to see what terrors he lived through. All conjecture of course :D
My man, Levi in Marley continues to help the orphans, and help in reforestation, he continue to do good deed not only for humanity but also for environment. He is the hero pre and post war.
1:09:36 No, it was just as you predicted: "What would have happened if Mikasa had told him I love you," there on that hill overlooking the refugee camp.
Can’t believe this day is finally here! Watching your reactions has been awesome in how it’s gotten me to think about certain aspects and themes from new perspectives I probably would’ve never considered, always great to see someone so honestly invested in the content they’re reacting to. Excited for what’s still to come!! :)
Yeah, I think it has been almsot a year of AoT, so wild, but it was a blast =) I hope there will be stuff on this level in the future =)
I'm glad you liked the anime, I think it's a masterpiece (just opinion). I'm also glad I discovered your channel and had the opportunity to rewatch AOT with you, giving all these magnificent analyses.
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed these reactions =) For me AoT is now the best anime I know. =) An absolute masterpiece =)
My man, Levi, lost all his family, friends, comrades, lost an eye and fingers but still found a way to keep on fighting, our humanity strongest soldier, Levi Ackerman
Armin: *Calling Eren pathetic*
Also Armin: *Talks to a rock for four years*
😂😂
annie inside the rock*
So happy as well!
Hard to believe it's over! I haven't commented much but I've been along for the ride for most of this year and always looked forward to your reaction with each new episode. You might not be one of the biggest reaction channels but you're the best out there, offering insights on so many subjects. You apologise often for the tangents but they're really what kept me interested and why I plan on sticking around! Just have to pick something new on the channel to invest in. (On a side note, very excited for when the Arcane reactions will come around)
Thank you so much :) I am glad you enjoy the was I am doing things. :) arcane will probably be after Vinland and evangelion are recorded :) looking forward to that one a lot :) all the best :)
Thank you for your reaction to this show. It has been wonderful rewatching it with you. Also, you are very welcome to my viewing, as you have already expressed your thanks to us. I plan to stick around as a subscriber and am especially excited to see your reaction to the music of Shingeki no Kyojin.
Please have lyrics at the ready and make sure to react to the right videos. Certain uploads regarding the music of Shingeki no Kyojin can be missing parts or include more than one track jammed together while only displaying one tracks name.
P.S. You probably don’t recall me, but I’ve replied a bit under my previous username Krazy4Pizza and profile picture as Beethoven. So hi, it’s me again.
Hi ther, I am glad you enjyoed the ride, it was so wonderful! =) I will do music soonish, can not wait for Vogel im Käfig and Bauklötze for example =)
I'ts been such a joy to follow you on this journey and listen to your analysis. It's so refreshing to see someone understand the themes so deeply, and catch on so early. Understanding Ymir that quickly is honestly impressive. I've also loved seeing you ask for certain character moments well in advance, and the reaction of having them delivered.
Internet discourse is unfortunately filled with people who didn't catch on, who just wanted to see their cool edgy Eren be the saviour of Eldia, and as such hate the ending, the pathetic idiot admitting what he is. But when you understand the themes it's such a well told story.
As you said lots of people hate Gabi, which is mental to me. Best character in the show, and it's so hard for me to believe that people can't see the tragedy of her character and her fantastic arc.
Looking forward to the next journey!
Thabnks, I am glad you liked these. I love that Isayama had the balls to go where he went. Awesome stuff. it shows you how a hero corrupts and shows that people will still deny it on a meta level. But to be a bit fair, Eren is written a bit ambiguously in the end, but the message that I got was the one I liked most because it is really unique storytelling and I only have seen it in dune before. =)
Well we desagree on some points of the story but overhall it was very interesting to watch your reaction. I think you were too much comparing painter people with the anime, because i do think some characters are not like painter people, even if they are in indeed evil. But about factual plot you didn't noticed :
There is the Mikasa's dream. It was Eren who were talking to Mikasa. And it was indeed four years of a dream. In the Paths, time is different. You could say Eren was already dead since he entered the Paths. So he can do what he want. You could even say the Rumbling was happening because of dead people who were driven by negative feelings. That you knew later.
Eren in the very begenning of the show saw his own death from Mikasa's hand, when he was in the dream. Mikasa's love was impossible from the begining. Even if the dream was true, he will only live four years. That's why Eren didn't chose Mikasa. He know that he will die soon. It's one of the main part of why he didn't chose Mikasa over his destructive dream of freedom.
Also, Eren was able to built a dream for Mikasa before she killed him. And if she knew where he was, the only possibility is that Eren actually said it to her. There wasn't any erased memories for her. The whole show, you watched it with a bad translation about that, and a for others things too.
Second fact, he knew that his actions will erase the power of titans. He said he knew the outcome of Mikasa's action, even if he did not see what was the action. He only knew that he needed to create a situation where Mikasa will have to do a similar choice as Ymir. He knew all that. And this is why he pushed aways his friends. He needed them to fight him, and to hurt Mikasa.
Third fact. All the birds we saw in the show were Eren seeing the world through time. It's not showed in the manga. But in the manga, a lot of Eren memories are from the sky's point of view. For ex when Falco was looking at a bird in the first episode of season 4, it was Eren. There is an Eren's memory of that, from the bird's eyes. Also, the name of the bird in the very end is Yeager... He obtained his ultimate freedom now ... This is all he ever wanted.
Bad translation for Eren about his determinist state. You should defenitely found an official translation. That one is not the one of the dvd.
An anime i found very similar to Snk on the theme of war, there is'' 86'' a good anime. But not as good as Snk in my opinion. Still very good and interesting for you. I think.
Did you watch GOT ? I think it could be a very interesting reaction, on the character's writing.
Oh, that was my point, it might have been not conveyed well. I just use painter people as a stand in for extremists as they are the best documented and well known to me. =)
1. I do not think Eren did that dream. Ymir is currently my only logical conclusion as a) Eren loses founder with Zekes death and b) ymir sent another bizarro world in lost girls 3.
2. I do not see how he knew that titan powers would be erased. Only logical argument for that is that he can not see into the future beyond his death. But I think that might be enough to argue it.
3. That sounds really cool, I wish that would have been made more explicitly. But I love that idea. =)
I did watch GOT and read the books and loved the show season 1-4 but it fell down the drain a lot writing wise after that (though there were great moments like Hodor still) =)
@@storieswithstyle 1 --I don't know about who made the dream. But the actual Eren was in it, because it was linked to his dream in the very first episode. If i had to guess, Ymir was giving them a little moment before they Say goodbye. And Eren saw that dream in the very first episode. You don't know because you are anime only. But Eren was akening from this dream in the first episode, because he saw that Mikasa's hair changed after he saw her. Conclusion, it was not a false Eren. It was the actual Eren saying goodbye to Mikasa. When he was in the titan, he was also in the dream. As Mikasa was. Mikasa killed Eren and kissed only Eren in the dream, dying. In reality it's his head but ... She was seeing him in the dream. And the only possible reason for her to know where Eren is, it's because of Eren. Also, Eren said to Mikasa to forgot him, so that she'll have the strength to do what need to be done. It was something he already wished way before, that Mikasa free herself from him. It was said by fangirl Mikasa, dont remember her name, that Eren wanted Mikasa to forgot him. He trully wanted her to let go of him.
2--It's a fact that Eren knew for the titan's powers gone. It's him who revealed that to Armin, remember. Eren said It's because Ymir wasn't able to let go of her love, that titan's powere continued to exist. Basically, you'll know that to free Ymir will remove titan's powers. Later, he explained that Mikasa will do something that he don't know, that will free Ymir. To Armin he said '' what i know for certain is the outcome Mikasa will bring about with her choices. '' later Armin talked to Mikasa and he said . '' Eren said to me that the outcome you'll bring about with your choices is to erase titan's power from the World. '' Here the proof. Armin litterally said that.
@@storieswithstyle About Eren being the birds. There is several things that implied that, but very small and not clear. The scene with Armin and Annie on the boat for exemple. It's the moment when Eren talked to Armin and erased his memories. But did you see the bird on the boat ? If you come back to this moment in the first movie, Armin was talking to Annie and then saw the bird just next to him. He watched the bird, saying something about ''i hope there is something more to discover'' and then the bird watched him. After that, the bird's picture switched to Eren's face in the titan's mouth. By scenary, the scene implied that Eren was watching Armin through the bird's eyes. Eren had even his eyes in the same direction and angle from the bird, to reinforce the link. It's not a fact, this part. But in the manga it's IS. it's more obvious, because we had time to see all memories. It's not in movement After all. Some were from bird's point of view. That's why a lot of manga reader's thought that Eren became a bird.
There is also one more thing to consider. The parasite was connected to Eren, directly. But this parasite has the power to make wishes Come true. If Eren's wish was to be free, it's not out of the question that it gave him the power to be the birds. Ymir's wish was to possess a stronger and immortal body, and yo escape death. Then, this parasite IS only some sort of Jinn. And it gave Eren a power only for him. That last part is only a theory. Even if WE know for sure the bird in the end IS named Yeager. There is a lot of things going into that. But there IS not factual proofs. We only know that it's possible, and that it was implied, even if not in clear ways.
the ram is mr ksaver, id also be really interested in manga videos. being able to match isayamas art to the story feels even more special, on top of the changes that are worth seeing
Yes, I missed that. I will look into how to read it. =)
Thanks for your reactions and the thoughtful commentary throughout! Always thought you understood what makes AoT so special. I look forward to your thoughts on Eva and Death note!
Thanks! =) Glad you enjyoed it. =) eva will be in october for halloween, Death note in 2 weeks =)
zeke's nihilism vs armin's existentialism was an interesting conversation
Bad nihilism to be clear, he's falling in the fatalist pitfall that many people fall into when trying to understand nihilism. You could argue that true nihilism isn't even that far from existentialism.
Yeah, zeke did not really believe in it (if you say you do not believe in stuff when you don't act accordingly and he still treasured the glasses and baseball) =)
Auch wenn ich erst vor Kurzem zugestossen bin, möchte ich mich herzlich bei dir bedanken. Dich auf dieser Reise zu begleiten, hat mich meine Lieblingsserie nochmal neu erleben lassen, dafür bin ich sehr dankbar. Keine andere Person auf CZcams konnte ihre Gedanken zu AoT so schön ausformulieren wie du. DANKE
Freut mich, dass es dir gefallen hat =) ich glaube, ich habe noch nie so immersiv eine Serie angesehen. Aber der Anime hat auch eine unglaubliche Dichte und hat eigentlich nie enttäuscht, was für eine Reise! =) Alles Liebe! =)
Congratulations for finishing this series, and yeah finally my man Levi survives till end 💪
I was so afraid he would die, but am so happy he survived =)
@@storieswithstyle me too 🥲
Thank you for allowing us to see your journey. I absolutely loved your reactions and especially your insights. You're channel truly is a gem and now I'm watching whatever you're watching. Been following you since season 3, every time in my ride home from work. Thank you again!
Greetings from Chile
You are welcome, I am glad you enjoyed it =) Greetings back! =)
I loved your reaction. Gave me a whole new perspective. Things I would have never figured out on my own. The whole psychological analysis.
The person who rewrote ending was basically someone who was pissed that Eren wasn't a chad alpha male. The alternate ending was just Eren successfully killing everyone, iirc
That sounds really unfitting :D But we will see :D
It was an absolute pleasure to follow your reactions to this amazing story. You were most likely the reactor I appreciated the most, for you did not simply watch the show but truly processed each scene with care and intelligence.
I want to thank you for that, sincerely.
Wish you the best for the future 🫶🏼

Thanlk yu for the kind comment, I am glad you found value in the reactions! =) it was a blast and I learned so much! =) All the best to France! =)
35:09
I thought I was the only one 😈
But in all seriousness, congrats on finishing this masterpiece. I really enjoyed your reactions and I'm gonna miss watching you react to this show
Thanks for being on the journey with me =) I hope there will be other cool ones ahead of me =)
Armin: Let’s tell them all of it.
Also Armin in Episode 1 Narrated the whole show.
Ymir was chased by dogs to the tree. The boy was lead by a dog to the tree.
Love that, thanks for pointing it out =)
素晴らしい動画をありがとう
心臓を捧げよ！
見てくれてありがとう！=)
Mikasa crying at the tree just gets me everytime. She deserved so much more, but she’ll never get over Eren.
yeah, so sad to see =(
Never stopped this fast to write my thesis and start procrastination with your video!
lmao
Hope the thesis is going well. =)
Conclusion: Yes, Eren is stupid. He said so himself XD
he indeed is :D
Been watching your reactions to AoT right before you got to s4. Happy you liked the show, definitely my favorite reaction channel!
Thanks you, I am glad you enjoyed it. =) definitely my favourite story ever currently. =)
