I dont know if this can count to be a plot hole or just a convenience plot device but marleyans goverment decide to life sentence eldians whom rebel to the nation of marley by sending them to paradise as a mindless titan. Why did they do that? it's wasting time and money.

From marleyan perspective they do know that king inside the wall able to control pure titan not to mention those titan inside the wall. They just recently found out that king inside wall is pacifist. So the policy of life sentencing eldians to be mindless titan in the paradise doesnt make any sense, they just sending troops to the paradis force.

If i were the goverment of marley, i'll keep them in prison till the time to use them in a war come. Just like what they did in the first episode of this season, that'll be more useful to marleyan. But if they knew all along that the king is a pacifist then that'll conflict the propaganda they been used since they win the great titan war. And willy tybur said that tybur family is the only people that know the history beside the king of the wall.

I hope my limited vocabulary able to reach you

They did it as an act of punishment. I think it's a disturbing thought to kill as an eldian his own people.

The king was a pacifist but since grisha got the founding titan, it wasn't pacifistic anymore.

Hope that helps you somehow

Imperialistic and act of revenge purpose. They tried to make it ironic. Eldians revolutionary killing "innocent" Eldians. Isayama doing that just to show about "Marley morality".

as an punishment for "criminal" Eldia. "living" as an immortal, only from instinct controlled creature, caught in a never ending nightmare.

and as nice side effect for the Marleys, the titans were like jail guards for the people of paradies.

There's another purpose in that the titans on Paradis stop the Eldians in the walls from getting out. Also maybe they don't want to spend money on Eldian criminals and wait for a war

It was to banish Eldians as punishment, and prevent the people on the island from escaping. Essentially a prison.

Yeah, it's pretty much a mix of punishment, sadism and control by fear; from that point of view, eldians in Marley are less likely to commit crimes if they are terrorized by the idea of becoming a mindless titan and being sent to Paradis, rather than simply dying and being freed from suffering. It's essentially the same device used by some christian ideologies with hell, a seemingly eternal prison of pain and torture as a threat for keeping control of people.

Think about it. According to marleyan history they afraid of king of the wall because they have the ability to control all titan including wall titan. They afraid if the king will stampede the rest of the world with the wall titan. You need to remember that king of the wall left a massage before going to paradise that paradis will attack if outside world interfere them. They have no idea of king's pacifism Willy's declaration of war.
Why bother sending them bunch more troops?

If I'm not mistaken, that was supposed to be (kind of) explained today by Yelena. I've seen the episode but without subs I can't give you a proper answer. But I can show you the manga panels in question.

Well you also have to remember that people tried to get outside the walls independent of the king's wishes. That was the whole point of the Survey Corps. They probably thought that sending titans to Paradis wouldn't be perceived as an attack because technically they're sending the king's own people. Also maybe the king didn't care because the titans also ended up making it harder for the walls to get attacked too

They literally explained this in today's episode. To keep the eldians inside the walls from going outside and punish the ones who disobey them. Since the king is a pacifist they know they don't have to fear the rumbling

They knew, Willy Tybur announced it in public, but the top layer in Marley knew about the status of Paradis society. They sent titans to keep them within the walls and to punish their own Eldians, also to control them by fear.

OK and? That's exactly what I'm saying, they used it for their own porpuse when they already knew that that threat is non-existent. It's like when a parent tells you that if you make weird faces you'll have it forever, a false threat that they use for themselves

Is it a waste of time and money? Not really. They’re basically sending them to their deaths. Mindless titans can’t revert back to human form unless they eat a shifter. They aren’t really a threat.

I’d say it’s more of a use of time and money. The world wants Eldians to be eradicated, and they’ll come up with pretty much any excuse, including being sent to paradise. They’re getting rid of Eldians which is what they want. Marley would much rather see them wiped out then being used to further themselves. At least that’s what I think. You can consider it punishment as well.

I mean, yeah? You just gave yourself the explanation. They have already said that the Tyburs that control Marley and the top military and government personnel know that the king isn't going to do anything if Paradis is attacked. They used this as a punishment for rebels and other such Eldians because, like we heard from Ymir in Season 2, being a Pure Titan is like living an immortal, unending nightmare. It also stops any exploration outside the walls by the citizens in the walls. The reason that Willy decided to tell the public the truth was specifically to demonize Eren as a villain that the world needs to stop quickly. It is purely a political move to have a justified reason to attack Paradis.

It's wasting time and money, really.. beheading them is much more cheaper and effective. They can behead them in front of eldians inside the internment zone. Why bother sending them to paradis when they have easier and cheaper solution?

It's not about being cheaper or easier. It is about the public image. What would strike more fear into a population, having them beheaded in a square in front of everyone or "sending them to their paradise" and having them become functionally immortal to be tormented by unending nightmares, like was mentioned in season 2, and possible eating hundreds or thousand of your own people? Cause honestly, I would much prefer to just have my head loped off than the alternative.

Really?
In my opinion beheading them is much gruesome for public image because they can see the punishment themselves.
Think about it.. they can just tell people that the rebels are sent to the paradise and beheaded them elsewhere, right?

They are actually saving money, if there were no titan marley would have to spend many soldiers guarding the island so nobody from inside the walls came out or any other country try to sneak in. Now they just have a small fort and leave the rest to the mindless titans. Also sending the rebels to paradise as a way of punishment is more ironic and have more impact.

Even if the titans were controlled by the king (which will not happen since the king don't want to) they are too small to cross the sea and the army of colossal titan would probably just kill them just by walking to leave the island.

So, if they order them to dont eat eldians, they will obey.

If the Fritz order them to cross the ocean back and attack the Marleans, they would obey.


The only way to what Yelena said NOT be a plot hole is: the Marleans started this in aliance with the interest of King Fritz of 100 years ago.

Yeah, they said that in Seasons 4 Episode 5. The top brass in Marley are completely aware that King Fritz is going to do jack shit to fight back due to the Renouncement of War pledge. That was the whole point of the play. Like it is literally spelled out that Marley, the Tyburs, and King Fritz had an agreement in place for this exact situation.

Marley aware of that? as far as i know, the only people who know about the pledge are tybur and king inside the wall. If they knew about the pledge then there's no reason to send kids as a spy to paradis.. -_-. They can just kill them with full power.

They didn't send them to spy originally. They were supposed to go in, grab the Founder, and get out. The spying was purely because they couldn't find the Founder due to it being stolen by Grisha Jeager and Reiner insisting that they stay. They couldn't send a full military assault due to the other wars they were in at the time using the majority of their resources. The King not fighting is the only reason they feel it's ok to send a bunch of kids to do the dirty work. They just didn't expect one of them to get eaten an hour and a half into the mission.

That wont work.

First, they dont know about it being stolen by Grisha.

Second, they weren't at war as far as i know. The war that being shown in season 4 was because their loss againt paradis island. But yeah they can be attacked when they send full power to paradis. But then again.. if they aware of king's pacifism then why didnt they order reiner squad to just breach all the way to the most inside wall?

Reiner could breach all the way within less than a month, and let all mindless titan eat all human inside the wall. If one of the mindless titan occasionally eat the founding titan then it'll shift back to human. They could easily extract that person back to their homeland.

Except it's not a plot hole. King Fritz was never gonna do anything. And neither was Marley. The top brass at Marley, of which includes Willy who governs the country, was well aware that King Fritz was never gonna stop the titans nor use them for war. Willy f*cking said that in episode 5.



If anything, you can, at best, consider this a gamble on Marley's part because they decided to believe the King. And the Tybur's believed because they were there when promises were made.

And even if this explanation was inconsistent, it still wouldn't be a plot hole. It would be a plot convinience. Plot holes are occurrence in the story that contradicts logic or previously established events in the story. This one doesn't in any way do that.

And that's exactly why it took them years to found the Founding Titan. They first invaded the walls to see what the King would do in response and then to get out as fast as possible. Since the King did nothing and they found nothing at first, Annie was put in charge of spying on the nobles and the royal family. And she did found out about the Founding Titan had being stolen and that the king being a fake. Annie proposed for them to leave and tell Marley all the info that they had gathered during their operation. But Reiner said no. Reiner was the one who decided to keep moving forward instead of going back to Marley and let them know. He basically made all the calls for their next plans.

You do realise that the size of the 3 walls is equivalent to the area of modern France right? They had no idea where the titan was or who even had it and their future plans for it. And that was asking for you to be killed too since you'd have no supplies. Marley only visited the shores of Paradis once a month during a full moon so if you were gonna do something that stupid, you better have a great plan to time your escape. And I personally doubt any of the shifters would be able to run back to the port in 1 or 2 goes. They'd need a 3rd and maybe even a 4th shifter or they'd either be eaten or take a good amount of days to reach the shore.

For the wars, that is partially the fault of the anime for leaving a few minor details that were in the manga out. Marley has constantly been in a state of war for a long time, this was alluded to by Magath and Willy Tybur's conversation in episode 4 of this season. They were in a pretty big war at the time they sent the Warrior group over to Paradis and couldn't spare the troops to support them. And I mean, they could have destroyed all the walls in a short period but then they would've had to fight back through all the titans that swarmed into them. They had a hard enough time just getting out of Wall Maria in season 2, and that's after years of the titans have thinned a bit by moving into the larger area of Wall Maria and getting killed by the scouts. And it would've been useless as they still would have absolutely no idea where the Founding Titan was to grab it.

Marley didn't know that Fritz was a pacifist, until the Tybur speech.

They thought he had been defeated during the Great Titan War by a now-fabricated Marleyan hero called Helos, who was then forced to flee to Paradis Island with some of his people. He then supposedly warned Marley not to attack, otherwise he would unleash the titans within the walls.

This is why Reiner, Bertholdt and Annie attacked and then infiltrated. They wanted to find out who he was, and then flush him out.

Eren, Reiner and Tybur covered all of this during their respective conversations in Episode 5.

"They were in a pretty big war at the time they sent the Warrior group over to Paradis and couldn't spare the troops to support them"
Which chapter? i might miss that one. I've read till the most recent chapter so dont worry of spoiling me.
I don't remember the exact chapter as it has been a hot minute since I read through. It was during Reiner's backstory, so around 96 to 97? I'll look through when I have the time in a little while to source it.

That wont work.

First, they dont know about it being stolen by Grisha.

Second, they weren't at war as far as i know. The war that being shown in season 4 was because their loss againt paradis island. But yeah they can be attacked when they send full power to paradis. But then again.. if they aware of king's pacifism then why didnt they order reiner squad to just breach all the way to the most inside wall?

Reiner could breach all the way within less than a month, and let all mindless titan eat all human inside the wall. If one of the mindless titan occasionally eat the founding titan then it'll shift back to human. They could easily extract that person back to their homeland.


Marley didn't know that Fritz was a pacifist, until the Tybur speech.

They thought he had been defeated during the Great Titan War by a now-fabricated Marleyan hero called Helos, who was then forced to flee to Paradis Island with some of his people. He then supposedly warned Marley not to attack, otherwise he would unleash the titans within the walls.

This is why Reiner, Bertholdt and Annie attacked and then infiltrated. They wanted to find out who he was, and then flush him out.

Eren, Reiner and Tybur covered all of this during their respective conversations in Episode 5.



The best explanation i can produce is that the one who made a policy to send criminals to paradis is Tyburs because they rule Marleyan, and maybe they have an agreement to send mindless titan to Paradis island to keep them from going outside. The reason Marley's military didnt attack Paradis because they didnt know about king's pledge. And Tyburs let their military power is controlled by Marleyan.

Will that answer the question?

Look @Symofoner, they found it for you in the source, check the spoiler.






And, it is a plot hole, because, for the Gods sake, for 100 years the Marleans know that the Fritz bloodline with the Cordinate CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT WITH MINDLESS TITANS.


So, if they order them to dont eat eldians, they will obey.

If the Fritz order them to cross the ocean back and attack the Marleans, they would obey.


The only way to what Yelena said NOT be a plot hole is: the Marleans started this in aliance with the interest of King Fritz of 100 years ago.
Except it's not a plot hole. King Fritz was never gonna do anything. And neither was Marley. The top brass at Marley, of which includes Willy who governs the country, was well aware that King Fritz was never gonna stop the titans nor use them for war. Willy f*cking said that in episode 5.



If anything, you can, at best, consider this a gamble on Marley's part because they decided to believe the King. And the Tybur's believed because they were there when promises were made.

And even if this explanation was inconsistent, it still wouldn't be a plot hole. It would be a plot convinience. Plot holes are occurrence in the story that contradicts logic or previously established events in the story. This one doesn't in any way do that.


Just trying to up this because most of you ignores this so you can keep "doubting"

For what? The series or its manga already countered your argument, if you really pay attention you wouldnt ask this kind of thing, neither your delusional brother(i dont mean it literally). You trying too hard to decline other explanations which perfectly summarized the plot youre assuming to be a messed up part. I dont think i need to make another one, there's literally a lot of peoples were already explained it to you. You need a guidance, right? Why dont you ask about "exact chapters" talking about that, know what's the canon reason, and accept it.

I dont know if this can count to be a plot hole or just a convenience plot device but marleyans goverment decide to life sentence eldians whom rebel to the nation of marley by sending them to paradise as a mindless titan. Why did they do that? it's wasting time and money.

From marleyan perspective they do know that king inside the wall able to control pure titan not to mention those titan inside the wall. They just recently found out that king inside wall is pacifist. So the policy of life sentencing eldians to be mindless titan in the paradise doesnt make any sense, they just sending troops to the paradis force.

If i were the goverment of marley, i'll keep them in prison till the time to use them in a war come. Just like what they did in the first episode of this season, that'll be more useful to marleyan. But if they knew all along that the king is a pacifist then that'll conflict the propaganda they been used since they win the great titan war. And willy tybur said that tybur family is the only people that know the history beside the king of the wall.

I hope my limited vocabulary able to reach you


Because it's a punishment. Also, if they wanted to control the Titans, they would have done it already, and seized all of them. But they haven't. Which makes people think that they are just full of shit. Also, Titans are... Kind of an easy way to kill them, as well as punish the Eldians, because they'd be killed by the people they were supposed to save/revive.
