This chapter definitely is trying to play up the audience doubts about Eren, with all the "born into this world" discussion. He's used that exact phrasing himself more than once, and I recall his mom also said it about him as a baby when she was responding to Keith.

I've always found it to be a bit incomplete as a reasoning. Yes, everyone is born into this world, go on???

So the idea that the words have maybe always had this meaning about not wanting to be born at the core, just not clearly expressed.. because when the world you're born into is so bleak, it's all just a sick twisted nightmare to exist?

Eren is just mad he was born, I'm sure some people are gonna love this poo poo.

Uhhh... pretty sure he always meant it as "Because I was born into this world, I'm entitled to free reign in it and anyone or anything that tries to deny me that freedom is my enemy!" He's literally been saying the world is his birthright simply because he was born into it his entire life.

It's like Luffy's views on freedom, if Luffy was an entitled mass murdering paternalistic psychopath.

Original Ymir is Historia from the future, who goes by Ymir in memory of her friend.

It's gonna be like :lost: where a user can time travel their consciousness to another point in time on the lineage of the titan they possess and is related to seeing memories of previous titan holders. The paths is a physical manifestation of this phenomenon. The beginning of the story where eren cries and doesn't remember why was a time travel consciousness incident

Where did that titan come from? And if it was trying to place Zeke back into its womb, was it just ridiculously aberrant, or did it do that because Ymir Fritz was assuming direct control?

It looks an awful lot like one of the titans Zeke transformed in the woods - specifically the one whose head he ripped off for ammo. I'm guessing that doing so didn't actually tear its nape? As for how it was tunneling underground/behaving to restore Zeke I think there is only one answer... P A T H S

But I've yet to figure out a better way to spend my time.
I juat realized that arguably both Eren and Zeke have experienced a rebirth in the belly of a titan. Although Eren's was seemingly less providential and more just dumb luck.

someone on Reddit compared Armin crying to when Black Widow did it during Avengers, and I think that’s it. Armin has realized whatever Eren’s true plan is and is relieved that his best friend is still who he thought he was

Oh and Reiner too, he's been taking his lumps but I get the feeling he can take a few more

Also curious to see how Eren uses the warhammer titan power now, just how wild can it get

Anyone else notice everyone clipping through the jail bars??? I couldn't unsee it. Also there's continuing focus on Eren having plain white eyes or something.

That's just so the bars don't obscure their poses and facial expressions. See also characters having mysterious energy auras when drawn against dark backgrounds.

Being someone who found AoT via the anime, I am so super pumped for new episodes to start back up. While watching the trailer for the nth time, I started thinking about something Eren says at the end of it:

Eren posted:

Because we’ve all been special since the day we were born! We’re free!

...Except we know he's wrong - all the Eldians are connected by the paths. Including a line like that in the trailer feels like foreshadowing, and another reason why I really think Eren's plan is to destroy the paths, so everyone actually is free. Since Zeke's plan is a pile of poo poo, much like Zeke himself.

But either way, drat does that trailer look gorgeous. So excited to see the Return to Shingashina animated.
