Beefstew posted:Yeah, I figured the second one, and something to do with Annie's father. And while it's not totally necessary, we might also get a hint at who her real daddy might've been, but it might be a bit late for that. I remember some folks suspecting Kruger on that front. It gets sketchier, since we saw the beginnings of a revolt against the guards, but none of the action. Assuming they managed to get to the sea or airships, they could run into Annie and the others on their way back to Paradis, providing the long awaited reunion between Annie and her father. I won't claim to actually predict too much beyond that, but it seems pretty important to note that no-one on the ship is from the island. If I was going to try to gamble, though... this seems a good place to put a small scale version of the wider conflict, where Gabi, Falco, and Annie have to try to stop Marley's remaining forces from trying to wipe out Paradis in retribution. (It'd also offer an obvious role for Historia as the protector of the unwanted as they wash up on Paradis's shore.) Speaking on a broader scale, it's interesting the conflict the manga's currently running on a meta level, with the manga all but explicitly presenting two (apparently) contradictory thesis. 1) Eren can't be stopped, and will accomplish everything he set out to do. 2) Armin's going to be the one who saves the world. I think, whatever else happens in the final requiem, we're going to have to see both of those fulfilled.

I wonder if the afterlife thing is just symbolism or if they've now passed on to some ymir-formed realm because I can't trust this series to ever just have a scene be a scene for the sake of it

It takes a bit of the oomph out of everything happening. Everything else is so good though. I especially like that they're basically "winging" their plan at this point and we'll all learn together just wtf is going on and going to happen.

Yeah, I also disliked it. Until now, in all these past volumes, dead people were dead and that's it. No even a glint of reason to think afterlife is objectively a thing in this world.

The order of pages should've been reversed, with Hange reuniting with Erwin going first intercut with her burning up, and the last page being a shot of gruesomely crushed remains while the plane flies off. Isayama probably just wanted to give her a bit of a nicer send-off since she's such a beloved character, and unlike Sasha there was nobody there to witness it.

I mean technically they're all guilty of massacring tons of innocent people; titans can't really help themselves and the people stuck inside don't know what they're doing

No even a glint of reason to think afterlife is objectively a thing in this world. ...Is this where I bring up the two thousand year old goddess who Eren's hanging out with right now? Even taking the scenes of the survey corps's ghosts appearing to force the ones who came after them into action appearing as pure symbolism (fair enough on that), we know that Ymir Fritz's torture continued on long after her body was devoured. We also know that all her children to the hundredth generation have walked the same paths. Considering everyone we see in the picture (including Sasha) is Eldian, (and no-one in the group we see is a Titan Shifter, whose wills seem to shadow the ones who take up their legacy) the metaphysics of the setting seem to line up with no issue. chiasaur11 fucked around with this message at 22:59 on Sep 8, 2020 |

chiasaur11 posted:...Is this where I bring up the two thousand year old goddess who Eren's hanging out with right now? I'm fine with the idea overall, but I'd preferred it to be saved for the final chapter. The stakes have been raised extremely high up until this point, and knowing that Hange literally went to her peaceful afterlife undercuts some of that. It's like how death is so meaningless in DBZ from gross abuse of the wishes. edited: meaningful into meaningless, huge difference iamsosmrt fucked around with this message at 23:47 on Sep 8, 2020 |

It's like how death is so meaningful in DBZ from gross abuse of the wishes. Yeah, that's fair. This is probably the best point to show it for Hange's story, but it makes future deaths among our protagonists sting a bit less, which can hurt the rest of the story overall.

Is there some reason to assume this is literally heaven as opposed to like, her dying thoughts/hallucination? That's what I took it as, not sure if I missed something or not.

Yah it's definitely symbolic and not literally a ghost realm. Like Abbacchio's death scene in Jojo p5.

First, we see Hange die of stomping before we see her with Erwin, but she still sees the plane fly away. Second, we see Shadis there, who Hange didn't see die, or even hear about dying. The only person who saw him go was Magath, who wasn't exactly in any shape to tell people about it after.

Conspiratiorist posted:I'm sure Isayama has the balls to have Eren "win". That's one of the few guarantees we have. Grisha outright said that Eren will win, and most of the bits of ending foreshadowing we have (the last panel, Requiem) suggest that Eren will accomplish his main objectives. The question isn't if he'll win, really. It's what Eren winning will look like.

Can Eren even lose now? If they manage to kill him I don’t remember there being any hint that that would stop the Rumbling. Mikasa talking him down is the only real thing they can hope for outside of some weird Zeke shenanigans.

I've said this before, but with how Annie's and Reiner's hardening also came undone when he released the wall titans, I believe the implication is Eren handed out his orders in an instant and in rather broad strokes, and it's likely the titans will continue on following whatever pattern he assigned for the Rumbling regardless of whatever else happens.
