I just finished aot and those are my impressions
Hello! After nearly 10 years, I have finally reached the end of Attack on titan.
I remember being such a young kid in 2016 when I first saw it; no regrets.
Despite knowing AOT for more than 9 years, I was not up to date what was happening - I believe I stopped watching it in the middle of season 2 (even though I had so many memories about other chapters lol)
A few months ago I decided it was time to end up what I had started and I decided to watch it over once again and damn. I was so not ready for it. This anime is such a masterpiece and it left a huge mark on me; I believe I am never recovering from it.
I would like to share that I bawled my eyes out with Mikasa's ending scene, as well as Hange leaving the group and sacrificing herself not only for the sake of humanity, but also for the wellbeing of her comrades. I went from hating Gabi to understanding that she was just a neglected child such as Zeke and Eren, but from the other side of the ocean.
Speaking of Zeke, I always hated him (lol); ever since his first appearance as the beast titan, I was left intrigued as for why could he manipulate titans (and why on earth was he able to speak ??!?!???!?!), but after Erwin's death I couldn't help but despise him. After all, he was also a neglected child such as everyone in this show, but I can say I felt some sort of empathy as I kept on unveiling his past.
** Can't deny I still felt tons of pleasure when Levi ended him hehe
Speaking of Levi, I just loved him. Ever since his first appearance I always thought he was amazing, but now that I have finally reached the end I can just say he is an astonishing character that deserved better. I wish for him to be happy for the remainder of his life (if we ever get to se it). By the way, I'd be the first one to check out a spin off about him ;)
I just wanted to write this because I barely have friends who like this show (2) and I doubt they want to hear me talking about it. Thank you for reading !! =)
**this is my first ever post and i hope i can make some friends//connect with people who also enjoyed the anime =)

Question about the ability of the Attack Titan
I’ve been wondering, it’s said that the attack titan supposedly has the ability to see the memories of its future inheritors. However, we know Eren has been using the abilities of the founding titan to send his memories back in time to past holders of the attack titan in order to influence those holders so he would eventually be the last holder of the attack titan. So does the attack titan actually have the ability to see memories of its future inheritors? Or was it actually just Eren using the founding Titian’s abilities that make it seem that way?

When Eren broke, I shattered with him a personal reflection on why Eren feels like a mirror of my broken self
>This isn’t an attempt to justify Eren’s actions, nor to debate his morality. It’s a personal reflection about how Eren became more than a character to me. He mirrored a part of my own inner world especially the wounded, angry child within me and helped me process things I never thought fiction could reach.
I’m writing this because Eren isn’t just a character to me. He's a mirror reflecting the fragile, wounded parts of me. I feel emotionally connected to him because I know what it’s like to be crushed by the weight of the world as a child wanting to fight back, but realizing the world is too vast and merciless for someone that small.
But that pain lit a small fire within Eren: a dream to see the world beyond the walls, to free the people trapped inside, and to fight against the system that oppressed them. And yet, the very power that should’ve given him strength turned out to be a curse. When he was shown the future one where the world would never side with him. Eren began to break: disappointment, despair… and eventually, he broke apart.
When Eren broke, I shattered with him. Along with the hope I once placed in him. I felt that same hopelessness, because from the very beginning, I also had hoped and dreamed through him.
But when I try to see things from the perspective of people outside the Marley–Paradis conflict, I feel a deep sadness, because they had no idea of the pain Eren had carried since he was a child. I’m not justifying what he did, but I deeply understand his wounds.
Eren’s decision to start the Rumbling wasn’t born from bravery, but from despair, and a deterministic view of life. He was completely broken but he endured until the end. Many believe Eren was fighting against fate, but in truth, he had already surrendered to it. Because he was still human. Deep down, he had a moral side that opposed his own actions. But he fought against even that...and that’s what ultimately destroyed him.
He was consumed by guilt for the genocide he committed, but at the same time he asked:
>“If the world never cared about me, why should I care about it?”
And that’s where the tragedy lies: Eren, at his core, was emotionally immature. The Final Season showed us that behind the monstrous Founding Titan was still just a child one who only wanted to be free. But that simple desire came at a devastating cost.
He was still the same Eren who cried out. Eren who was stubborn. And Eren who, beneath it all, loved Mikasa and his friends with all his heart.
My love for Eren is how I’ve learned to accept parts of myself the parts that were once angry. Once wounded, but still chose to rise.
That's why, whenever I think of Eren, a sadness lingers one that's hard to explain. It’s like seeing myself. And if I ever fail, I also could fall apart like Eren. Lose myself completely.
I don’t even understand why so many people see all of this as a strength. Eren failed. He failed to control his anger, his revenge, his ideals. He collapsed morally because he saw life only through a deterministic and hopeless lens. That’s a tragedy not something admirable. Even Eren himself was never proud of what he became.
And that’s why I still cry when I think of him. Because like him, I’m still learning how to save myself.
Maybe this is the most human way to love a character not because they’re perfect, but because they failed in a way that felt painfully human.
>Thank you if you read this far. This post is personal, and I just needed to let this out. If anyone else has ever felt something similar with Eren… I’d really love to hear your thoughts too.

Titan Mechanics QUESTIONS (Splitting, Stacking, Spinal Fluid, etc.)
Okay, super specific questions that don’t necessarily matter, but are more for the people who really enjoy researching the lore and how every little thing works. I would appreciate it if you could answer as many of these questions at the bottom as you can. Read through my first few paragraphs for more specific explanations about the questions.
So Ymir was eaten by her children and likely the spinal fluid was consumed by the 3 kids, splitting up her power. The Founder ended up going to one of them, and probably combinations of the Titans we know today were manifested in all 3 of them.
Then again down the line (maybe their kids did the same or later on down the lineage), the current Titan shifters were eventually consumed and the powers were eventually split up again, leaving us with 9 Shifters at some point.
And I would imagine if the 9 WERE able to split into more than 9 that it’s just a matter of how much of the spinal fluid someone consumed. Like if it was split into 2 then both of them would inherit parts of the powers and maybe become two entirely different new forms of the first Titan, but weaker. Maybe that would mean at some point, diluting them too much makes them not so powerful.
Same thing goes for stacking Titans, it makes me wonder if a stacked Titan shifters dies naturally by the curse of Ymir, say holding 3 Titans, would they disperse to 3 random Subjects or all go to 1 random Subject.
Some Questions:
- What’s stopping the current 9 titans from being split into more than 9 total? Is this ever explicitly addressed?
- At some point, wouldn’t that also mean that the Titan mechanics changed? Initially is was direct cannibalism (human eats shifter in human form), then later on at some point it turned into human titan into pure Titan and eats shifter. I wonder when that changed.
- If a Pure Titan consumed a Shifter’s spinal fluid without killing them, would they transform to a Shifter too? Would the original Shifter’s powers dilute?
- If a Shifter (A) consumed another Shifter’s (B) spinal fluid, would Shifter A gain parts of Shifter B’s powers? Would Shifter B’s powers dilute?
- If a stacked Titan shifters dies naturally by the curse of Ymir, say holding 3 Titans, would they disperse to 3 random Subjects or all go to 1 random Subject.
- A few questions here: First, am I understanding this right? Falco consumed Zeke’s spinal fluod (as a human) before he was a Pure, then he became a Pure, then a Titan, that’s why he had some Beast, but the Jaw was the base Titan and beast was secondary, but not really stacked since he wasn’t a Pure or Shifter when he consumed the spinal fluid. If he was one of those things, I guess that would result in whatever you answered for question 3 or 4.
- A few questions here: Whose spinal fluid is Marley using? I’d imagine it’s pure Titan fluid, right? Because whatever it is, it near immediately turns people into Pures, but Zeke’s needs a trigger (his scream)? Is that because he’s Royal and a non-founder? Would a non-Royal Founder’s spinal fluid (Eren) do something different? What about a Royal Founder?
If you happen to know any of the chapters where these were answered too, I’d love to know! I tried my best to find the answers but some of these might have never been addressed and so are open to speculation, but I could totally have just missed it.

Sell Ticket to Beyond the walls World Tour?
Hi!
I have a ticket for Saturday 20 of September at the Palais des Congrès in Paris, for the Attack on Titan Beyond the walls World Tour, AND IN THE END I CAN'T GO 😭
So, since I can change the name on it, I just wanted to ask if someone wants it!! I would only ask for cost, which was 69€.
(If this can't be put here, just tell me and I'll delete it!! I didn't find anything against it in the rules)
(I posted this too in the r/attackontitan )

Why Eren Had To Destroy Everything
Hi! This channel is exploring the intersection of media, philosophy, and psychoanalysis through poetic form. If you enjoy or have associations with this video, please leave them in the comments. Thank you for watching :)
I’ve been thinking a lot about Levi’s expression here. So many different complicated emotions

I have just finished Attack on Titan for the first time...now what
So I binge watched AOT and managed to get through it in about 2/3 weeks. You guys were all correct, this is some of the best media ever put to the screen.
I feel like I have a void in my life after finishing. I genuinely have not stopped thinking about some of the plot twists, character moments & visuals.
I really don't know what to do now that I am finished.
