Yeah, this much is obvious at least: Kruger was influenced a lot by Eren as well. It's all there. But it's still weird that Eren allowed Kruger to see that memory of Grisha. Maybe it's a memory that leaked through as Eren was conditioning Kruger with other memories to have him complete his goals?
Yeah this part finally makes sense. It's like Isayama was working for all this time to find a way to make that make sense.
It would make perfect sense.
Isayama has stuck to the landing so far, his plot all planned beforehand not an afterthought, so im confident it will work out well
He was already a MASTER to me when he toyed with my feelings on Erwin and Arwin's death & resurrection. All according to plan.
I think people also forget though, Eren can see these memories also because he was connected to the royal, Historia. Which is why we could ask "why didn't Grisha or Owl utilize this ability?" It's not like Eren can just come and go as he pleases. So while Eren was able to manipulate Grisha, Grisha wasn't able to do the same to Eren, because he lack the connection to the Royals at that time.
I think that Eren will manage to initiate his scenario, but either Reiner or Armin will stop it, or convince Eren to stop, and we will get a scenario similar to the original plan, which was to have the Wall Titans as deterrent while Paradis catches up with the world in military and technology. It is the only scenario in which I can see Armin playing a big part and the closest to bittersweet ending.
We don't really know the extent of everything this causal time loop implies, so anything is possible at this point. But in the same way that Eren became someone super important via this bootstrap paradox, Titan powers could very well have a similar origin of being the cause and effect of themselves.
"To you, 2000 years from now". It has been calculated that there are about 2000 years between the current time and the moment Ymir got her powers, already implying there is a specific important thing. Combine that now with Eren not getting memories from any future Attack Titan and it implies he is the last one.
Sure, that's possible too. I just think the Eren=Devil scenario is more likely.
It could also be Eren talking to the first shifter (Ymir?) through paths, since he could have influenced all prior attack titan holders. "I'm sending you this memory which will happen 2000 years from now", or something.
That is not the case, at the end of chapter 120 it is Eren who takes control away from Zeke. 121 is Eren deciding the memories.
I like to think that Ymir will automatically do everything in her power to heal any Titan Shifter of royal blood. Alternately, maybe any Titan who was transformed using his spine fluid will immediately come to his aid if his life is danger. After all, they already obey his orders, might as well have a "save my master" mentality.
Maybe Eren is only a slave to time because he's *aware* that he is a slave to time (due to the titans existing). If Ymir is reborn and titans cease to exist (and thus, titan powers as well), then can you really be a slave? (Or is Eren a slave to his future self?)
Lol, 5 minutes before you posted, I posted about Eren being the one to call Ymir to heal Zeke (from the future).
nah man, that cannot be true, cos then Ymir would have gone to rescue Reiss, and Ymir only obeys the Founding Titan, not any royal blood. And it can't be any titan either, it came from the ground out of nowhere, it consumes and heal zeke fully, as far as i know, there is no mention of a single normal titan that can do that, royal blood or not.
The only reiss who was a shifter was Frieda, which got eaten, which is a very definite way to kill a titan shifter. None of the other reiss there were shifters.
Yeah, I still think it was just fortuitous luck on Zeke's part rather than divine intervention. Necessary not to connect it to the grand scheme of things but a good way to formally introduce Ymir's world/sandland.
