THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER.
----------------------------------------
From the tiny ant leaks it seems Eren is the one mastermind behind everything

And that cliffhanger though.

Mod edit: Changed the episode number.

Oh boiiiii finally revealed the power of attack titan, although we knew all along what it is. Also the cliffhanger as always.

Every month I wonder, how can every chapter get worse and so abysmal?!

First things first, Eren's showing past memories through Attack Titan power is just whatever nonsense, but even accepting that because there has been signs of "sending" memories before, how are they gonna explain such a huge time paradox by changing Grisha's mind(and thereby, the past)? Having to foresee the future is already cool, so let's give him all the powers right?!~

Paths has been hinted from a long ago, but how far can Eren see the future? If that Historia part is really true, how much did he exactly see?

Are they ever gonna show what Grisha saw from the future through his power? Or will it just be glossed over again, just like Zeke's explanation of getting free from Ymir's control in last chapter?

How does paths/time travel/attack titan power or whatever nonsense that is, exactly work? Eren had dream in chapter 1 without having power right? If Kruger could access future memories without touching a royal titan, why doesn't it work for Eren and only got activated in that Historia moment? It has its own time travel laws or what?

So many questions and contradictions,but it's fine because time travel sounds so cool, right guys? Just give PATHS, everything is solved by Eren.~

I'm not sure how I feel about this. This is a really borderline move between absolute bullshit and kind of logical, unfortunately the one thing I am sure of is this is not the sort of feeling I should be having at such a paramount and integral turning point / revelation to this series. The only thing that really gives this point credence, off the top of my head, is the Attack Titan not following anyone and being independent. But to take that and extrapolate to time travel is one hell of a fucking stretch.

Then time travel, which is an absolute bitch, is not something that should be done so lightly. Once the two weebs who actually read this manga and study physics or are interested in time travel show up, a shit ton of holes are going to start tearing in the sail of this manga, aside from the extremely obvious paradoxical nature that is already apparent.

This seems extremely lazy in many ways.

Once again, Yams pulled an Isayama on the Fandom. Credits to that man for taking so much risks in a such popular story. Unironically subverting expectations !

What time paradox are you talking about, History didn't change, Grisha did kill all the Reiss family this is the history and it did not change just the resolve grisha needed was given to him by future memories. And so you know recent experiments have indeed shown how past can be affected by future at quantum level.

Do you want explanations of a supernatural, fantasy world?

What Grisha saw from the future, it is not necessary to show everything what he saw, whatever is required for plot progression and understanding of situation is already show or will be shown.
There is nothing wrong with Zeke's explanation of getting free from the vow renouncing war. Any royal blood member who possesses founding titan is bounded by vow of king fritz, so if Zeke had founding titan himself and he would have entered paths it wouldn't be possible for him to undo the vow, but he accessed the paths through eren who was not bounded by king's will so he was free, also since the nature of Ymir is shown to be of a slave of royal blood so free Zeke can order anything he wishes.

Eren's dream without having power could be because of he was the going to inherit attack titan, all eldians are connected by paths already, however I don't know, may be it will be explained later.
Kruger could access future memories but couldn't tell whose memories they were, eren can actually control everything, know's whose memories are they may be that's the difference, there are questions which can be answered later.
Some of you want everything to be explained in one chapter, story is not ended yet. When you don't get your answers after story ends you may complain but after every chapter this is not known or this doesn't adds up so this must be contradiction kind of thing is getting annoying tbh.

There is no time travel involved just memory travel and influence of memories which has already been established like armin being affected by Bertolt's meories, Zeke being affected by Xaver memories, porco being affected by ymir's memories but attack titan can have future memories too that's the difference kind of like steins gate.

>History didn't change,
Grisha didn't have courage to do that, and this chapter showed how Eren influenced his decision. That's literally changing and influencing past events, and thereby creating the altered history. What we saw before in the manga is this changed history(basically which was changed through Eren's intervention).

>past can be affected by future at quantum level.
So no repercussions or paradox created, right? Convenient logic to use time travel in fiction, don't buy it really.

> could be because of he was the going to inherit attack titan, all eldians are connected by paths already
lol, "let's just solve it by paths"!

You realize that not many chapters left right? I am interested in how the story closes everything, but dealing with time travel at this stage of manga doesn't seem like an excellent idea, sadly.~

Again there is no actual time travel just , eren is not influencing grisha his memories are. Grisha always had the courage but was hesitating, it was eren's memories which removed his hesitation, just like in steins gate where after gaining future's memories okabe continues to try to change the past.
What's wrong in using an idea in fiction which can be very real in real life.
Paths have always been significant in the story, even titans are formed thorugh paths only so actually it shouldn't be surprising if they are the answer to many questions, People had many questions and now they are getting answers in terms of paths we again have a problem even with paths now we should start expecting answers to even how paths work? If in fantasy world everything is going to be answered like this there won't be any fantasy. Let the manga end then make complaints of whatever loose points or contradictions you find, because before that there are always chances of most of the doubts getting answered just with one chapter itself.

But your points are wrong anyway, as the manga literally said it. Just see Zeke's words, "he knew that even if he stole the founding, he would have been unable to use the power. But.. he was made to steal the founding titan by you".

Not to mention he entrusted Zeke to stop Eren after seeing his "ghost future" and then accepted to be eaten by titan Eren, because he knew that only he can do that.


Having overpowered ability like that is fine, but it creates a whole lot of problems and plotholes for the story.~

Titan shifters being able to see the previous holder's memories is nothing new in the series. For example, Eren being able to view Grisha's memories, Armin with Bertholt's memories, Porco's with Ymir's memories, and Frieda/Uri/Eren with previous Founding Titan holders memories.

LoneWalkers said:

Paths has been hinted from a long ago, but how far can Eren see the future? If that Historia part is really true, how much did he exactly see?


Presumably, if holders of the Attack Titan can peer randomly into the future using it's successor, then he would normally be able to see up to 13 years in to the future after he's relinquished control of his shifter once the curse of Ymir takes hold. However, he's able to peer into his own future by viewing his father's past memories of him. It's yet to be established exactly how much he's seen, but Grisha implied that he's already seen the aftermath of what Eren is planning to do and wants nothing to do with it. You'll probably find out what he saw when/if it happens.


LoneWalkers said:

Well that's the power of the Attack Titan, to be able to randomly peer into the memories of the successor of the attack titan, therefore being able to see into the future. It doesn't require the founding titan, or someone with royal blood to be able to use it's power. Krueger was likely quoting Grisha when he said "In order to save Armin, Mikasa, and everyone else ..." because Grisha said exactly the same thing before he allowed Eren to eat him at the start of the series.

Normally, Eren wouldn't be able to see into the future because we don't currently know if the attack titan he currently possesses has a successor or not. He may be the last holder of the titan before the story ends. To be able to see into his own future, he had to view it through his own fathers visions of the future through Eren. That's the only bit that's really sounds like it's stretching for me.

Don't get me wrong, the theory behind this is starting to get more and more convoluted by the chapter, but it's still just about making sense. I just hope Isayama isn't digging himself into hole he can't dig the story out of in a logical, consistent manner.

@ LoneWalkers

Grisha already knew he won't be able to use founding titan's power, even kruger knew it but still kruger sent grisha to steal the power anyway, further zeke's statement that he was made to do it by you means by the selective memories you decided to show him.

Grisha still murders the Reiss family regardless of whether Eren intervenes or not, as we've already seen. However, the circumstances around Grisha's motivation to kill them has been revealed. He never wanted to kill them in the first place, he had a oath as a doctor to save people, not murder so it directly contradicted his mission.

You realize that what we saw before is the altered history right? Zeke literally talks about how Eren changes the past or how Grisha was influenced in doing something different, can't bother to post anymore as already said above.

>Well that's the power of the Attack Titan, to be able to randomly peer into the memories of the successor of the attack titan, therefore being able to see into the future. Krueger was likely quoting Grisha when he said "In order to save Armin, Mikasa, and everyone else ..." because Grisha said exactly the same thing before he allowed Eren to eat him.

So Attack Titan can see random memories of future successors whenever he wants, but only for Eren, he saw "his future" by touching Historia/royal blood? Sounds like the story doesn't care about following any rules but okay.

That's basically the same thing, having an effect on past. You keep bringing steins;gate, do you remember that how the worldlines were affected after Okabe sent memories? What about SnK?

Lowkey surprised people are calling Eren downright evil/ the villain. I mean yeah obviously killing innocents and kids is reprehensible no one argues with that, but all things considered, what Zeke, Marley and the Reiss family respectively wished for was a cruel fate upon the Eldians, one which will deprive them of their lives and freedom unfairly for sins of their ancestors. Eren seeks to change this. His means may not be objectively good obviously but he's the only one who has dared to defy the oppression.

Anyway, I think many fans had seen this time travel coming, what with how chapter 1 starts. I really liked this chapter, although I have multiple questions about what Grisha has seen, what the scenery he saw was, how much Eren and Grisha respectively know about the future/past memories and how much Eren has seen after touching Historia. It is really interesting. That cliffhanger is killing me ugh.

@LoneWalkers

You are wrong, world lines changed only when they used Dmail to send message in past and past changed as a result world line changed, when they sent memories they were in same worldline, knowing the future in that worldline trying to undo what they have changed through Dmails so as to reach original worldline.

That's basically the same stuff of "sending memories", only said that because you kept comparing it to steins;gate. Expecting a nice explanation of of how the past and worldlines changed in the next chapter. :)

to keep it simple, the manga itself doesn't know what stuff it's trying to do by messing up past decisions or plotpoints. This is supposed to create a chaos in the timeline itself, but the story fails to show that. Well, whatever, as long as the fans are happy, have no intention of arguing further~

@Luciberi good catch, and that was my assumption too, we have seen the altered timeline so far. Problem is that itself creates too many contradictions. ~

So the power of the Attack titan is fate itself. what happen to grisha is already happen but it is happen because the future eren is predetermined will do it. there's no alternate reality, everything is already determined according the future user of the attack titan. Future that will happen is already set and can't be changed.

Damn, if there's the best OP power, attack titan will be the one. it will maybe cost 2000 thousands years to happen, but it will always according to the attack titan user want.

Remember that it was the ''owl'' aka Kruger who sent Dina Fritz(royal blood) to Eldian Restorationists, so it's possible that Kruger saw the memory of Grisha by touching Dina. It's not just Eren alone that needs to touch a royal blood in order to see the future.

So Attack Titan can see random memories of future successors whenever he wants, but only for Eren, he saw "his future" by touching Historia/royal blood? Sounds like the story doesn't care about following any rules but okay.


Remember that it was the ''owl'' aka Kruger who sent Dina Fritz(royal blood) to Eldian Restorationists, so it's possible that Kruger saw the memory of Grisha by touching Dina. It's not just Eren alone that needs to touch a royal blood in order to see the future.


Interesting hypothesis, this sounds much more logical than the posts I have read so far.

You are wrong, world lines changed only when they used Dmail to send message in past and past changed as a result world line changed, when they sent memories they were in same worldline, knowing the future in that worldline trying to undo what they have changed through Dmails so as to reach original worldline.



That's basically the same stuff of "sending memories", only said that because you kept comparing it to steins;gate. Expecting a nice explanation of of how the past and worldlines changed in the next chapter. :)

to keep it simple, the manga itself doesn't know what stuff it's trying to do by messing up past decisions or plotpoints. This is supposed to create a chaos in the timeline itself, but the story fails to show that. Well, whatever, as long as the fans are happy, have no intention of arguing further~


You said in steins gate world lines changed when they sent current memories into past but it is not true, when they sent memories in past worldline remained the same there was no shift just because sending of memories, but what caused change in worldline was bringing change in past, here no change in past is involved. Only choices of characters influenced by future memories.
We will see how chaos is created in timeline itself, because I don't see any chaos in timeline happening, all what is currently happening is in paths, the actual time line will continue like it was before without being affected. There won't be worldline change as there won't be any change in past. We will see.

Seems like good point which can resolve kruger seeing memories too. So one more point from your list is answered already/ can be understood without the need of Isayama giving few panels to explain every damn single thing.

Literally didn't want to bring steins;gate into this topic because it's comparing apples to oranges but let's stop there before spoiling or off topic.

>only choices influenced by future memories.
Choices influenced= what we saw the manga before. Someone already posted the panel above for first chapter, the past has already changed where Grisha was influenced by memories and we were seeing that until now, that was the whole manga so far creating a sort of loop. This was supposed to create an effect already, so it's safe to say that the story doesn't care about anything like that. Don't have anything more to add~

I don't how to make you understand but I'll try again, what you are saying as past being changed is not actually that. If past were to be changed then actual incident that happened in the past would have been changed.
If I have two choices A and B right now and i choose A becuase of some sort of influence then in future I can not say that the influence which made me choose A over B actually changed the past. That's just a real time decision which I took based on certain factors, influences of others maybe? Past is what has happened physically and it did not change here.

Exactly, this "influence of others" (future Eren memories here mainly which gave him the final push) that made him choose A is an external factor that wasn't supposed to happen in the normal course of timeline. That itself creates a disrupt or chaos in the flow of time, it's not too hard to figure out.

^To clarify more on this, the past has already changed, meaning that Grisha's choice was B(getting the attack titan) over A(he loses his motivation and fails). Eren's cinema time showed him the way to A and it was the main factor as proved in this chapter, which is an external or alien element in the flow of time and supposed to create disrupt in flow of time.

Honestly not sure why people don't understand this, it's a sort of loop without having any real effect.~ Unless SnK has its own rules of time travel, guess only more random explanations will be used to prove how it's flawless.

So you are saying that if not for eren's memories, grisha would have chosen not to take founding titan's power, abandoning his mission, his dream of eldia, will of Eren kruger which resides in him and for sure must be influencing him too and leaving eldians at the mercy of Marley with their actual intentions known to him clearly, and getting killed by freida , only eren's memories made him do what he did not other factors? Eren's memories just pushed him getting over temporary hesitation, hesitation due to moral reasons.

Yes. Congrats for finally getting it, it's one of the main factors that influenced him. Feel free to ignore it like the manga just because it's "temporary hesitation" or whatever else, but it's an external factor that disrupted the flow of time already and won't have occurred in the normal course of events. What if Grisha was attacked by someone while he was sitting there and crying with "his temporary hesitation" before eventually gathering up the courage due to the other factors? I can also give hundreds of possibilities and theories just like "temporary hesitation" for what could have happened to Grisha if not for those memories, too bad that messing with time itself is not simple in fiction.~

Temporary hesitation did happend to grisha so your hundreds of theories what could have happend to grisha during that temporary hesitation could still have happened while grisha was actually hesitating, but nothing like someone attacking grisha happened. What I am saying is grisha would have done what he has done regardless of eren's memories.

Not to ignore Grisha was also the possessor of The Attack Titan which means even if he wished to back down for a second or so, the nature of attack titan , keep pushing forward, fight for freedom, would have overcome his hesitation regardless and Rod reiss already ordered Freida to kill Grisha so if freida would have transformed you still think Grisha would sit back and let her eat him, going against the will of even attack titan.
Your saying grisha might have actually failed if not for eren's memory, is already against many things already established by manga.

@LoneWalkers You do not seem to understand this chapter and concept of time: There was no disruption in time. It has always played out like this, there was no "A and B" for Grisha, this singular event in time always played out with Grisha killing the Reiss family due to Eren's influence.

When Eren touched Historia, he saw himself (Future Eren) in the Paths Dimension manipulating Grisha. He then spent the next 4 years preparing for this moment, and acted accordingly to the memories he saw before.

Future Eren did not change the past. He caused it.

Attack on Titan is not the only story to use this concept of time, e.g. "Dirk Gentlys Holistic Detective Agency" does it, too. It is not illogical, it is actually pretty basic, though executed perfectly in Attack on Titan. It is a known concept of time that many philosophers since the 50s had thought about.

Was not expecting that part about Eren influencing past events, but I totally called Zeke being won over by his father's memories and going to his side. And now he's going to be a stone in Eren's shoes without even knowing what kind of future he saw. Gotta say, I'm not a fan of this "time travel-esque" plot twist. But then again, I've not been a fan of many things ever since Paths was introduced in this manga.

The way the anime/manga lingered on that contact between Eren & Historia was a clue. What was clever here was that Isayama immediately goes timeskip to Marley in order to obfuscate Eren's plan being formed (and executed?) in that moment, and likely a personality shift that is evident in all his post-skip appearances. I'd have to guess it was right at that moment: with access to the memory paths he can traverse all past and future memories in an instant.

Jesus Christ, why don't you people complaining about negative criticism just fuck off to reddit or some other place? You're contributing less to the discussion than people giving "negative" criticism, because they at least are talking about the chapter instead of complaining about others.

Also, there's barely any criticism in this thread compared to other chapters. Most of the thread is a back and forth between two users talking about time travel while the rest of the comments are either neutral or praising the chapter.

All this complaining against "haters" and "negative criticism" is getting annoying. Don't like the forums? Move to another one. Reddit is a nice echo chamber where any comment that goes against the general consensus gets downvoted to oblivion and disappears, so give that a try.

Exactly. Not only that, this interpretation of time is the physical interpretation of it. What Isayama created here is a loophole in time. There's no alternate reality or timeline, because that doesn't make a lot of physical sense, there is a single space-time and therefore a single course of events.

Granted, there's not practical evidence that loopholes are possible as they have never been observed in the physical universe. However, they are theoretically possible and don't violate physical laws, therefore I believe Isayama did very well to use this particular theory of time. In fact, I dislike Steins:Gate and it's interpretation of time because it's simply untrue, even if it makes philosophical sense.

I had to reread this chapter multiple times to understand what just happened. So the memories shown here. All past actions of memories that were shown in this chapter is it because of the influence of the Attack Titan? The attack titan rebelled against the First King because it did not agree with his ideology? So what Grisha did was being influenced by Attack Titan himself who has seen the future? Yeah I am really trying to get the idea or trying to simplify it honestly. But it just comes with more questions. If anybody can help me out that be great. I am trying to understand and make it simple of what just happened.
