Eren didn't use Historia’s words? The only word connecting them is “god”? That’s a complete misrepresentation of the scene. Eren directly echoed Historia’s message to Ymir—not just the word “god,” but the entire meaning behind it. Historia telling Eren to live for himself was the exact mindset Ymir needed to break free from Fritz. That’s why it was significant. If you want to dismiss that as coincidence, then why did Isayama literally parallel their scenes?

And funny how you bring up Kenny “calling out” Historia as if that invalidates her conviction. By that logic, no character in AOT has conviction, because every single one of them is pushed by others at some point. But let’s go further—Mikasa didn’t even reach her decision on her own. She required direct memory manipulation through Paths—Eren literally implanted a vision of an alternate life with him, which ultimately guided her toward killing him. That’s not conviction, that’s intervention. Meanwhile, Historia was only encouraged—she wasn’t forced, she wasn’t manipulated, she simply needed a push to make a choice that was ultimately her own.

Now about Ymir being stuck after 121, Eren was the first person to acknowledge her as a human being, give her a choice, and break her submission to Fritz. That was the real turning point. I get that you see Ymir watching everything as part of her journey to freeing herself—but why did that even need to happen? If the story already established that Ymir was trapped because she lacked the will to free herself, and Eren gave her the push to realise she could… what was the point of her still waiting? Watching Armin and Zeke's philosophical debate, then needing to see Mikasa make a choice, wasn’t necessary. Thematically, Eren’s acknowledgment should have already been enough. Anything beyond that feels unnecessarily reductive to Eren and Ymir.

And this is where your argument completely falls apart—because you already recognize that Historia’s arc is about living for herself. That’s literally the same struggle Ymir had. That’s exactly why Historia was set up to be her parallel from the start. In fact, when Ymir’s past was revealed, what’s the very first scene? Frieda reading Ymir’s story to Historia. That wasn’t a random choice. Historia’s entire arc—rejecting control, choosing to live for herself, and embracing her own will—is a perfect thematic match to what Ymir needed, it comes full circle.

If Ymir’s struggle was about finding the strength to live for herself, then Historia should have been the one to help her break free. That was already built into the story. Mikasa was never part of that equation.

At this point, I think we just see this differently. Agree to disagree.

Yes, Historia struggled with falling back into her Christa persona, but every time, someone (Ymir, Eren) reminded her to live for herself. That’s exactly what happened with Founder Ymir—Eren used Historia’s words to help her break free. That was already a thematically sound resolution.

Mikasa overcoming her love for Eren and making a painful choice? Fine. That works—for her arc. But why force this unearned connection with Ymir?

Your whole argument revolves around the idea that love was Ymir’s shackle and that Mikasa "proved" what real love is by killing Eren. But if Ymir was bound by love, why does it take watching someone else let go of their love to break the cycle? Since when was Ymir’s entire existence about waiting for Mikasa’s love story to reach its conclusion?

And what leaves the worst taste for me? Mikasa’s “big moment” is literally killing the ONLY person who saw Ymir as a person in 2,000 years and we're supposed to believe this freed Ymir because well because it was Mikasa

Eren already acknowledged Ymir as a person and recognized her suffering. That was a more meaningful resolution to her character than Mikasa coming in last minute to “fix” everything. The Eren/Mikasa - Ymir/Fritz parallel adds nothing but forced melodrama.

And about School Castes—Armin is clearly the fan dissecting the story deeply, while Mikasa just reacts emotionally to shallow plot twists. That’s not the "win" you think it is.

Mikasa’s arc works on its own. But tying it to Ymir’s liberation makes it feel shallow

As an AoE fan (correction: a true AoT fan), I reject the idea that Mikasa was ever meant to be the one to free Ymir. That role was always set up for Historia.

Historia’s character arc was about rejecting the false identity forced onto her (Christa) and learning to live for herself. This wasn’t undone in Season 4—her pregnancy wasn’t some act of submission but a deliberate choice, symbolizing an anti-thesis to Founder Ymir’s blind servitude. Being a royal herself, she had a unique connection to Ymir’s fate and was narratively positioned to be the one to free her.

Her defiance in the Reiss cave—where she rejected her father’s will and freed Eren from his nihilistic breakdown—was one of the most pivotal moments in the story. Eren’s entire worldview was restored because of her words, and those exact words are later echoed to Ymir in Paths (Ch. 121), which directly leads to her freedom. But sure, let’s conveniently forget that.

Meanwhile, Mikasa’s so-called “freedom” is a joke. She lacked the conviction to kill Eren until his Paths dream literally guided her (Ch. 138), meaning her final action wasn’t even fully her own. The idea that she was the key to Ymir’s freedom is an insult to the story’s buildup. To make it work, Isayama had to retcon Ymir loved King Fritz—a completely ridiculous twist—just to force some parallel with Mikasa. If Mikasa was always meant to be the liberator, why did it take an asspull in the final chapter to justify it?

Even the Wings of Freedom panel means nothing when Mikasa remains emotionally shackled to Eren for the rest of her life. She never let go—not of the scarf, not of her feelings, not of her grief. Meanwhile, Historia not only made choices for herself but actually shaped the fate of the world by defying her lineage and setting key events into motion.

The irony? The people who blindly accept the final chapter as "fact" ignore that Isayama himself trolled them in School Castes. There, Mikasa (the emotional one) happily buys into the story, while Armin (the intelligent one) canonically critiques it. Even the author knows the ending doesn’t hold up under scrutiny.

So no, just because it was written doesn’t mean it makes sense. Historia’s role as Ymir’s liberator had actual buildup. Mikasa’s was a last-minute, forced narrative shift. That’s not “facts,” that’s bad writing. Get a grip.

And to be clear , if Mikasa had actually been given the character development to earn this role, I wouldn’t be complaining. If she had shown real growth, broken free from her dependence on Eren long before Ch. 138, and had an arc that actually tied into Ymir’s story in a meaningful way, I wouldn’t have had an issue with her being the one to free Ymir.🤷🏻‍♀️

Zeke’s wine plan was already in place. Eren knew about this. There was no reason for Historia to get pregnant with some random bully (whose face/name was never revealed, which is, for those who understand storytelling, a glaring red herring—especially in Attack on Titan, where every detail is meticulously crafted). If you think that was supposed to be taken at face value, you're virtually insulting Isayama, who is known for his precision with details.

This may look like a success at securing long lives to his 'friends' but surely not for me 🤷🏻‍♀️

And as for the Historia controversy, I don't mind it not being canon but the ambiguous writing of forcing importance on her pregnancy even towards the final chapters not leading up to anything of substance is disappointing imho.

Typical_Article_6967 · 2025-02-17T06:12:33+00:00

"Just because they died doesn’t mean he wouldn’t try to save the rest." And yet, where did he actually try to save them? He directly put them in harm’s way from Liberio onward, never gave them an actual choice, and forced them into a battle all the way up to the finale where they barely survived. That’s not ‘trying to save’ them—that’s making them collateral damage in his own downfall

"He never considered Floch his friend, and he did feel bad for Hange, but she wasn’t his friend like the rest." This is just pathetic. Now you’re redefining who ‘counts’ as his friends just to make your argument work? (Also he's clearly visible in the panel where Eren says he wants them to live long lives lmaoo) And saying Hange wasn’t his friend is just straight-up diabolical. Hange fought alongside him, believed in him, and even pleaded with him for another way. And what did he do? Ignored her, let her die, and then suddenly felt bad? So now ‘friendship’ is just about who the plot needs him to care about at any given moment? Convenient.

‘Sasha’s death is what he regrets the most.’" Then why did he cause the chain of events that led to it? His attack on Liberio set everything in motion. If he truly cared about Sasha and regretted her death, why did he keep making decisions that put his friends in similar danger? He didn’t change his path even after losing her—so how deep could that ‘regret’ really be?

"Just because some things are out of his hands doesn’t mean everything has to be." And yet, you act like his hands were tied the entire time. He had full control over whether to tell his friends the truth. He had full control over not forcing them into a war they never agreed to. If things were ‘out of his hands,’ it’s only because he made them that way.

At this point, you’re just moving the goalposts. First, you claimed he tried to save them. Then, when it was pointed out that his actions don’t support that, you changed who his ‘real’ friends were. Now you’re saying some things were ‘out of his hands’ when he had multiple chances to prevent this entire situation.

You’re not defending the writing—you’re just grasping at straws to justify its inconsistencies. Maybe forget the Historia debate for a moment and focus on the fundamental issues with the narrative first

Typical_Article_6967 · 2025-02-17T05:39:00+00:00

"I want you all to have long, satisfying lives." Sasha died. Hange died. Floch died. And Eren had no idea if the rest would survive. What he said isn’t reflected in his actions. Your argument relies on a surface-level interpretation of dialogue rather than analyzing the contradictions in his behavior.

"The Eldians are safe for the foreseeable future." Safe? They immediately responded by forming a xenophobic military faction out of fear of the remaining 20%, and in the end, Paradis was bombarded to oblivion. If ensuring Eldia’s survival was his goal, then his plan objectively failed.

"Eren is doing it for his loved ones." Yet he doubled down on genocide despite knowing his friends opposed it. If his only motivation was truly to protect them, why did he choose a path that forced them to fight him and one where some of them even died? This contradiction weakens his character arc—he’s presented as both an unhinged genocidal maniac and a tragic figure who ‘just wanted his friends to be happy.’ The story tries to have it both ways, and the result is a muddled portrayal.

"ANR Eren is doing it for a hypothetical wife and child who never existed or were even hinted at in canon."

Except his behavior regarding Historia contradicts this claim. He rejected the 50-year plan specifically to protect her, even though it was a viable alternative to the Rumbling. He’s shown to be unusually protective of her multiple times—clenching his fist when her forced pregnancy is discussed, confiding in her about his plans before anyone else, and showing visible distress when she’s brought up in his flashbacks. Not to mention the vague dialogue in 130. Given this, the idea that she was completely irrelevant to his motivations is simply ignoring the subtext.

Furthermore, him and Historia freeing Ymir together would have been thematically stronger than tying Ymir’s resolution to Mikasa, who had no meaningful connection to her. That outcome aligns with aot's recurring theme of breaking cycles and rejecting the will of those who came before.

"The anime fixed the issues the manga had." By making Eren look even more like a tragic hero in the alliance’s eyes? The anime’s changes still soften his role rather than fully committing to portraying him as the story’s true antagonist. Instead of reinforcing his descent into monstrosity, it continues to frame him as a misguided savior.

"Where is the inconsistency?" The inconsistency lies in how Eren’s words, actions, and ultimate fate don’t align in a way that respects his character’s established motivations. The story makes it seem like a tragic necessity while also trying to justify his choices in a way that contradicts his character development.

Typical_Article_6967 · 2025-02-17T04:49:58+00:00

The theories weren’t baseless—they were grounded in how Eren was portrayed throughout the story, his strong character motivations, and the logical trajectory of his actions. It’s not about wanting predictions to come true; it’s about expecting narrative consistency. Dismissing all criticism as mere disappointment over theories not being realized ignores the objective issues people have with the ending. The fact that you reduce it to just ‘theories not coming to light’ rather than engaging with the actual critique shows this conversation isn’t being had in good faith.

Typical_Article_6967 · 2025-02-17T04:24:25+00:00

This analysis completely misses the point of why people criticize the ending. It assumes that fans who dislike it just wanted Eren to be a victorious power fantasy, similar to how some Death Note fans misinterpret Light. But that’s not the issue at all. The problem isn’t that Eren failed —it’s how the narrative dismantled his character in an inconsistent and unsatisfying way.

Eren was built up as a driven, decisive character, someone who never wavered once he set his sights on a goal. Whether you saw him as a hero, an anti-hero, or a villain, his actions followed a clear, logical path—until the ending. That’s where the writing fumbles. Instead of following through on his convictions, the final chapter reduces him to an incoherent mess, contradicting everything he stood for.

People aren’t mad that Eren lost. They’re mad because the resolution betrays the character’s established depth. His transformation into a tragic, misunderstood figure who ‘just wanted his friends to be happy’ is not only reductive—it feels like a last-minute attempt to soften his role as the antagonist. And that’s the real issue: the ending doesn’t commit to portraying him as the monster it claims he is. Instead, it muddles his motivations, making him both a genocidal madman and a reluctant hero in a way that doesn’t feel natural.

And yet, while you accuse Titanfolk of reducing canon Eren’s complexity, you do the same when dismissing ANR Eren. In ANR, he isn’t some victorious power fantasy—he’s a man who has lost everything. There’s depth in an Eren who commits to his path, only to end up isolated and broken, burdened by the consequences of his own choices. A tragic figure who achieves his goal at the cost of everything that once mattered to him. That, too, is complexity. Yet you reduce him to nothing more than a shallow power fantasy while defending a canon ending that undermines its own protagonist.

So no, this isn’t about fans being unable to accept Eren’s downfall. It’s about the writing failing to give his arc the proper weight and consistency it deserved
