The Mangastream version is up with a somewhat better translation. However, this page is still a bit confusing for me.  Is Eren saying that he himself is a man who's denied Grisha's wishes of Eldian restoration, a denial which is his own form of self-affirmation? But that he's also still his dead father's pitiful slave? I feel like something's lost in translation here, whether he's trying to be metaphorical with Zeke or not. I think he's trying to say with that prior statement that this is what Zeke believes Eren to be, but it's so awkwardly worded.

 And I also though he could be talking about Zeke, but that also dont make much sense edit: he seems to be talking about himself first ("the little brother you[zeke] wanted"), but then after "the only you have", he seems to be talking about Zeke.

He starts talking about himself, and then describes Zeke. The transition between the two is not being well translated, but he's basically telling Zeke that the only person there for him is Zeke himself. In other words, Eren's got his number, but neither did he need any saving from their father's ghost, nor is he going to provide a shoulder for Zeke to cry on.

He started off talking about himself, but switched to talking about Zeke. Zeke hoped that he'd find a little brother who would share his views and dreams, but nobody shares what is in Zeke's heart except himself: a man who has based most of his life on lashing back at what he thought his father believed in.

It should be noted this is pretty biting for Zeke, since in his heart he thought his plan was noble and carrying on the wishes of his surrogate father (Xaver), but here's Eren telling him that it was actually a form of rebellion against a man he resented for abandoning him.

Thanks for the input. The "The only one you have" is probably just an awkward translation, but it makes sense that he's now talking about Zeke. Maybe it's better as "That leaves us with you, a man whose continued existence..." I guess it makes Zeke's response more sensible, saying that his dad's actions leads to Zeke's saving the world.

I had to come here just to make sure I understood what had happened so far. I'm not a big fan of time travel as a plot device, because it immediately makes continuity meaningless. Hopefully it will stick the landing, because there have been a lot of twists up until recently.

It's pretty tasty that Eren's overwhelming desire for freedom is what is going to cause himself to create a static time loop which eliminates the very idea of free will.

Nah, it's like Dune: you gotta have a Golden Path that's super horrible and subjects humanity to this really lovely prophecy-induced horrorshow so that future generations are forever traumatized into never repeating the same mistakes, thus ensuring True Freedom Ever After.

I've also gotten God Emperor Leto II vibes from Eren, but if you think the series is glorifying that or making that out to be a heroic position, your time would probably be better spent with the morons who call Thanos a hero.

Here's my thought process in somewhat less of a poo poo post: Initial story is child soldiers trained to fight a specific monster. Child soldiers have an edge in the form of monster super powers. The source of the powers is unexpectedly shown to be somewhat-but-not-quite hereditary and prominent characters are shown to be primarily motivated by legacy concerns. Turns out the monsters were human. (Free space.) The heroes powers originally came from unethical research. The true threat of monstrous abilities is revealed not to be merely individual powerful people, but the capability to rule over or control an entire population through mind control. Memory erasure is a thing. The resolution is ultimately dependent on two people who are effectively time travelers engaging in an extra-temporal space. Edit: everyone is an orphan and the lead male delves into his father's memories. Schwarzwald fucked around with this message at 20:20 on Sep 30, 2019 |

I dont think the plot borrows much from Muv Luv tbh. Just the seriousness with which the the monsters are handled. I dont know Eva very well but I think a lot of those plot points apply to it. So this is more a case of some common themes coming up in multiple things. No Wave fucked around with this message at 22:42 on Sep 30, 2019 |

Not at all familiar with this Muv-Luv, but I can totally see parallels between the Sorceress stuff and the Founding Titan.

Attack on Titan has borrowed a lot from Eva. Also, every anime in the past 20+ years has borrowed a lot from Eva.

FF8 grandfather paradoxes, succession of the witches Muv luv time loop time loop TIME LOOP TIME LOOP Eva Rebuild is almost certainly a time loop that branced off the original series, somehow. Or potentially predating it, if Final goes real off the rails.

Rereading some old chapters I really like. It looks like Eren wasn't the first to pass on information that would further his own goal. Well I guess the name of this character doing it is also Eren. Eren Kruger. Grisha kinda got used by two people holding the attack titan.

The implication is that Eren Yeager manipulated Eren Kruger, and apparently all prior holders of the Attack Titan, to create the timeline and outcome he desires. so eren is responsible for the failed revolutionary coup as well hell, for all we know at this point, he could have directly manipulated individuals to provoke wars and atrocities and poo poo throughout Eldia's titan-using history, just to get everyone to this point
