Where’s Eren’s body?

This question has been haunting us for a while, so this is my theory.

In ch.119 we saw Gabi shooting and Eren’s head was blown. But later we see his titan forming. It didn’t have any flesh or other traits required to look like a normal titan.

We thought that Eren might crystallize himself or somehow use the power of War Hammer, but as we see, Eren’s titan was formed from HEAD, while Lara transformed from bottom to top. This means that Eren DIDN’T use this ability of War Hammer titan and his body IS NOT in a crystal.

So where’s Eren’s body? How his titan was formed? My answer is...Eren’s titan was formed AROUND his blown HEAD as Gabi said in ch.136. She also said they might see him again if they DECAPITATE him.

To prove my point, let’s look at chapters shown after Eren’s transformation. In ch.123 and ch.132 we DID see Eren’s human head. If you look closely, we see titan marks, flesh connected to his head and a hole from where Eren’s neck bones are coming. It WAS NOT his titan head, because here the picture of it.

Eren’s titan got long ears, no eyebrows and scary face, while ch.132 Eren has human ears, eyebrows and normal face.

What it means? It means that Eren doesn’t have a body and if they cut him out, they will technically decapitate him👀

this is how i think season 4 part 1 should end

manga spoilers under the cut

it’s not gonna end like this because there’s no way they can get to this point in 2 episodes but this is nice to think about

chapter 119; after the whole fight right when gabi shoots eren’s head off, you hear the gun shot and then everything just goes silent, all you see is eren’s body slowly falling to the ground and his head flying and zeke’s hand outstretched as far as it can go.

eren’s head falls into zekes hand and the centipede comes out and the screen flashes white to black or whatever, and the outro starts playing in the background while the screen and we transitions from black to the sand of paths by the camera spanning up until we see eren’s feet and the paths tree thing, eren standing in front of it and this imagery specifically;

while we here the outro shock by yuko playing in the background and then the episode ends

TELL ME THAT WOULDNT BE SO FIRE????

SnK 125: Mikasa’s Question

I’m seeing several posts claiming that Mikasa asking about Eren in SnK 125 is somehow “character devolution” or that Mikasa has somehow regressed into tunnel vision on Eren’s safety and nothing else. This could not be further from the truth.

Because, unlike in her youth, “what about Eren?” isn’t a worried afterthought about one soldier’s wellbeing.

Now, it’s the question that everyone’s avoiding.

Ever since SnK 112, everyone except for Mikasa has caped for Eren in some way or another—whether it manifest as Armin being unable to grapple with the idea that his childhood best friend could commit these atrocities, or as Jean and Connie begrudgingly wanting to see the best in a comrade and friend they thought they’d grown to know.

During all of these exchanges, and over the course of these chapters, Mikasa hardly participates—she observes. She sometimes asks questions that challenge their beliefs. Pieces are slowly coming together for her, and she undergoes a powerful inner struggle as she tries to process her past traumas and what she’s unfortunately always known about Eren, in a more plain light than anyone.

Contrary to everyone’s claims, I’d argue that Mikasa is the one framing the conversation, for lack of better phrase, in terms of “Eren the Destroyer” rather than “Eren, our friend”. Mikasa is the one who acknowledges him as the immediate threat of genocide he is—whereas Armin’s reaction and his actions thus far suggest that he’s the one struggling to separate their personal relationship to Eren from the issue at hand. Mikasa’s question to him is more than “how do we stop the apocalypse”—it becomes a hard-to-cope-with question about what this means for their childhood friend and for all three of them.

Additionally, unlike everyone else avoiding the question either out of sheer hopelessness or because they don’t want to answer it, Mikasa is the only one who seems to believe it’s even possible to stop the rumbling. She’s the only one who doesn’t see him—or the planet—as a lost cause, and focuses on stopping the crisis rather than picking up the pieces afterwards.

Her clarity and ability to assess the situation is as important as her attention to Eren has been.

For much of her life, and with no small amount of difficulty and heartache, she has been preoccupied with keeping Eren alive, struggling with his mortality. With the painful idea that Eren is not unbeatable. And, even in this outrageously powerful, virtually omnipotent state... I guarantee she still sees his mortality, like she always has.

As the only player on the board that he can’t control, this matters more than he could bargain for.

AoT Falco titan form 119-129 character analysis.

Remember when I once wrote a character analysis about little Falco and the meaning of his titan form on chapter 119?

I want to share this again and also share my thoughts for his new Titan form.

Falco was the first one introduced to us when the Marley Arc began in the manga and now he is also the first character we see in s4 trailer along with the falcon that is flying around the battlefield.

I remember when I first saw his form on 119, I was observing it to understand what kind of emotions and thoughts Isayama wanted to evoke to us through that. What came to my mind was, that chapter 119 is so brutal, it shows how unfair war is and how people abandon their humanity, going beyond their limits in order to accomplish something with brutal actions. Zeke's action towards the Grice brothers was so unfair just as war is. It makes you think why? why it had to happen like this? War defiles everything that is pure and beautiful, what Zeke did to little Falco, was the most monstrous thing. After Colt's heartbreaking words, Zeke didn't spare the life of these two children that in their hearts had him as their mentor. Falco turned into something so ugly, that at first glance you cannot even find the words to describe it. That's what war is doing, sully the beautiful. While observing this form, it reminded me of an infant bird without grown feathers. A symbolism of the first panels in the Marley Arc, the falcon flying and little Falco lying injured in the battlefield talking to it to fly far away from danger. Even his name has the meaning falcon. If you notice, little Falco never hesitated to go in the battlefield to help others. In this new chapter, he also aimed to the battlefield to help and now that he controls the Jaw Titan, his form is more of a Griffin. Galliard's form was more of a Lion and Falco's mindless titan was more of an infant bird. But Falco having control of the Jaw Titan, his form now is built for battle, a Lion-Eagle, that's what a Griffin is. A Lion's attitude would be described as rampant, a Griffin's is instead described as sergeant. The Griffin indicates a combination of intelligence and strength, fighting with courage and boldness.
