Apparently going Joker Society mode = being a WOW AMAZING FLAWLESS character to some people. I've been here in the SnK community for about 5 years now and I still don't get it. I mean, he's not an especially bad character, but it's not like his change made him any better of a character, and it's not like Isayama got any better at writing him, either. |

I really don’t like Eren, especially in S4 pt 1. Heck, I’m not a big fan of the season as a whole. |

I wouldn't say that he's not a great character (I haven't read the manga so plz don't spoil me), in my opinion he's the best protagonist from these new gen animes but I won't exaggerate and say that he's the best protagonist of all time, for me that title goes to Lelouch hands down |

Luffys character development 🤣🤣 : Luffy in episode 23 : 1) Screaming to anyone that he will become pirate king, 2) guffy and wanting to eat meat 24/7, basically friends lvl of comedy, 3) edgy look when he fights. Luffy in episode 366 : 1) Screaming to anyone that he will become pirate king, 2) guffy and wanting to eat meat 24/7, basically friends lvl of comedy, 3) edgy look when he fights. Luffy in episode 689 : 1) Screaming to anyone that he will become pirate king, 2) guffy and wanting to eat meat 24/7, basically friends lvl of comedy, 3) edgy look when he fights. Luffy in episode 890 : 1) Screaming to anyone that he will become pirate king, 2) guffy and wanting to eat meat 24/7, basically friends lvl of comedy, 3) edgy look when he fights. Luffy right now : 1) Screaming to anyone that he will become pirate king, 2) guffy and wanting to eat meat 24/7, basically friends lvl of comedy, 3) edgy look when he fights. + a mantle for no reason whatsoever??? I mean OP is a children's story, parental guide has it for 12 yo, so a deep character development is not expected in OP. I'd argue that Crocodile has better character development then luffu. Andin his crew Sanji by faaaaar. As for eren. Eren is not one of the best because of s4. That's mostly what emo teens and bandwagons think. He is one of the best because of his reaction and behavior in episode 2, episode 5, episode 13, episode 21,etc etc. Eren is what a human with exaggerated consciousness and awareness looks like irl. There are people who are born like that irl but not to that extend. Eren is magnificent, just to good. Now go watch luffy scream at kaido and plot armor his way somehow even tho he go railed by katakuri for 10 chapters straight, but somehow won.... he will outstamina kaido 🤣. I have a wild guess : luffy will beat kaido, unexpected I know lol |

Eren is one of my fav characters of All time and He’s one of the well written characters and one of the best protagonists as we all know that he’s not the best protagonist , the best protagonist of all time has to be Gintoki or Guts ( I didn’t watch one piece so I can’t say anything about luffy ) After the last chapter of AOT the hate toward AOT increased The ending wasn’t that bad it was good not the best And the hate toward Eren were increased too Well after that I would say Eren is overrated and overhated at the same time Those clowns really made fun of Eren about being cringe And those same people think Lelouch is the best protagonist ever ☠️☠️ Bruh There were a lot of cringe lelouch moments ☠️☠️ Don’t get me wrong idea I love lelouch he’s one of my fav protagonist Some toxic fans hate Eren soo much and love lelouch soo much at the same time These people should be handed the clown of the year Similarities between lelouch and Eren are alot If you watched the show you can see the similarities |

He is the best shounen protag. I can give you that. Comparing a character to other characters is stupid and shows that you don't have much criticism. As for why Eren is the best shounen protag., read this- https://mobile.twitter.com/cactuzzshash/status/1417554380820303886 |

darrenkbenn said: *****AOT ENDING SPOILERS****** Let me spice up more bad stuff on this chapter. >ymir likes Karl fritz, the guy who murdered her parents, pokes her eye, raped her, abused her but STILL loves him for 2000 years >eren just said "idk" reducing his character to a plot device in the end and that's the pay off and the conclusion to the main character of this series and then SUDDENLY likes mikasa while ignoring her chapter 1-138? >how did mikasa walk back all the way to paradise? When every ship and transportation was destroyed by the rumbling wouldn't that rotten erens head? >Annie got off easy after murdering those survey corps and especially Petra's friends. Levi is so pissed at Zeke even if they're just having a conversation and for Annie Levi kinda forgot? Hmm.. >eren destroyed 80℅ of humanity and the 1-2℅ are Paradise while the rest 18℅ are the outside world, wrens plan was to secure and guarantee paradise future and YET he left them with 200-500 million people angry because they themselves almost witnessed being stomp and did you see the steam ship with the alliance insidei in chapter 139? That means the outside world has industries capable of making weapons and advanced tech (keep in mind paradise is 100-50 years behind in technology) so that means they are capable of launching a full scale attack in 5-10 years. Paradise is doomed, no engineers, not enough man power. >how is historia still alive? Yeagerist literally killed every survey corp leader and yet they follow her? Hmmm... What is her authority aside from title alone? People already flocked to the nationalist aka yeagerist and what if they are using historia as a trap to set up the alliance and ambush them and ultimately killing them in the process? That means eren failed to save his friends since earlier they fought against the yeageeist. >How was the founding titan passed. I mean wouldn't her daughter's feasting on ymir give everyone the founding titan power. >How in world would just titan cease to exist I mean it came to existence through spinal fluid absorption so why would they even disappear just by a weird fetish being fulfilled. >Armin and co killing the yeagerist for there selfish belief of saving only Paradis but then later kinda accepting Eren did all the genocide for his friends. How is that any different that's just hypocrisy at it's finest. I mean I don't need a good ending atleast a one where the plots are explained. That's why I felt the script was just picked out off a trash can. >ymir have stockholm syndrome and she didn't regenerated bc she didn't had any will to live just like reiner in marley arc before transforming into half assed armor. Why she didn't had any will to live bc she was suffering from Stockholm syndrome >Eren said Idk why I "wanted" to do this, not why he even did this, there's a lot of difference between these two, so read with context. Eren is a brilliant character- https://mobile.twitter.com/cactuzzshash/status/1417554380820303886 Eren's feeling wasn't sudden and you gotta be kidding me with the "ignoring" thing- https://twitter.com/joyboyJS/status/1438007870704979970 >Yeah you can say its a minor one but nothing too important >I think the other guy replied to you about Levi one and I agree with him. Levi killed Zeke bc not only does he promised Erwin but he had to give the sacrifice of RTS some purpose. That's the reason and that's his duty. >Uhhhhh no the outside world does not hate paradis and they were bombed bc of political inconsistencies- https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1945872 >Yeagerist are with her bc she kinda agreed with Eren's plan and thats why she is alive. Historia is queen not survey corps. They can't use historia as its historia who is under the command. >Nooooooo he didn't failed to save his friends as its implied by Mikasa in extra pages that each of his friends lived long life and died. >each of the daughter had a 1/3 probability of getting it and only one of them can possess the power of founding titan by chance, titan powers can't be shared. >Ymir ceased to exist and so does her curse so titans also ceased to exist, Ymir finally understood her mistake and overcame her syndrome which resuted in her sould resting in peace >No Armin was disgusted by Eren and Thank you for our sake scene is wrong dialogue as told by isayama himself, his friends know that they are also murderers- https://twitter.com/cactuzzshash/status/1439540393817919488 also what plot holes? |

eren is easily one of the best anime characters........ why I think this?(spoilers below) I think it's obvious that I LOVE Attack on Titan. Like, I have a serious, unhealthy obsession with it and it's not one of those obsessions that fades away as time passes, either. If anything, my obsession is constantly growing as I read over the chapters again and reach a deeper understanding of the story. Attack on Titan started off with basic, underdeveloped characters but, over time, these characters have become more and more complex. Whether it be Reiner, Connie or Mikasa; each character is unique and beautifully crafted and intertwined with other characters to create the main plot. This, combined with the amazing world building, is what makes snk my favourite manga series of all time. Above all other characters, our protagonist, Eren Yeager, is definitely the best written. There are many different ways of looking at him and the progress in his character overtime is undoubtedly stunning. You can hate him or love him but it's impossible to deny that the story would be nowhere near as good without him as the protagonist. What makes him so amazing is that he started off as our simple Shounen protagonist, with a seemingly inspirational determination. Back then, the story did seem like a simple Shounen, so what was wrong with being a protagonist like Asuta, Izuku Midoriya and many others? The problem was that Eren's world was cruel. It was a more Seinen world, rather than a Shounen one. Eren's Shounen mentality just didn't fit in. It's almost like Eren's character is meant to be a criticism of the typical Shounen protagonist, conveying the flaws in this 'inspirational' mentality and showing that determination could not solve everything. We can see how Eren's mentality is driving him crazy as early as his first battle. After being eaten by a titan, he is confused as to why things didn't work out. Eren is incapable of understanding why he failed because in his mind, he didn't see failure as a possibility. Unlike the shounen worlds that Eren should belong in, the world of snk is cruel and much more realistic. After this, Eren is faced with the truth of his cruel world, time and time again and his shounen mentality constantly fails. We can outwardly see that this is driving him crazy, through his laughs and facial expressions. During the Female Titan arc, Eren learns to go with what he thinks is best. He blames the death of the Levi squad on the fact that he put his trust in them. In other words, he decides that it's best to always act on his own initiative. Despite being mentally scarred form his experiences, Eren moves on, learning from his experiences. At the time, these lessons seemed like undoubtedly good ones. However, the Uprising arc, when he becomes 'Edgy Eren', is evidence that Eren has an inner self, behind the angry and determined shounen characteristics. Eren starts to mentally break down when he starts to consider the idea that humanity could be in a better position if Grisha hadn't stolen the Founding Titan. For a moment, Eren starts for feel pain and guilt for allowing so many people to sacrifice their lives for him, since they saw a hope in him and, for once, judges their lives to be more valuable then the hopes and dreams he was pushing forward for. This is one of the only times we see a crack in his character, as well as an opportunity for us to understand that Eren is suffering inside, due to his inability to understand the world's cruelty. However, he manages to quickly cover up this crack and return to his old self. After this arc, Eren grows stronger in character, but doesn't abandon his determination. He accepts the fact that he and others will have to suffer in order for him to be able to keep pushing forward. This is why he pretty much accepts Armin's death and sacrifice during the Return to Shiganshina arc, until he sees Levi arrive with the serum. He clearly had a deep connection with Armin, since he is determined to keep Armin alive once he finds a way to. However, he was still able to easily accept his death. This arc shows us that Eren sees death as necessary when trying to achieve his ultimate goal of gaining freedom. However, it's after this arc that Isayama starts to convey how toxic Eren's urge to 'keep pushing forward' and destroy his enemy really is. The basement plot twist not only makes the world much more interesting and complex, but completely changes the context for Eren's determination. Eren's world somehow becomes one that he is even more out of place in, than it was before. The ocean scene is the first time we see how the context of Eren's words can make a difference. Eren has talked about his desire to 'kill them all' many times, but now he is suddenly talking about humans. During the Marley Arc, Eren shows us that, although he has matured over time and grown to understand that the world is cruel, he has maintained the core lessons he has learnt over the course of the series and developed them. He has no illogical hatred for the Eldians on Marley, the Warriors or the rest of the world. He is driven by a will for freedom, rather than hatred. He works on his own initiative - even if it means running off to to Marley by himself, forcing Paradis to go with him due to the risk of loosing the Founding Titan. He understands that some lives must be sacrificed to achieve freedom - even if those lives are the lives of innocent people. No matter what, he keeps pushing forward - even if he has to use innocent 12 year olds as pawns (poor Falco :c) Inside, Eren is conflicted and suffering because he still doesn't understand why the world has to be so cruel. However, he is able to suppress these emotions and get used to them in order to always continue to move on. I think Eren's reaction to Sasha's death shows that he still finds it hard to accept loosing his friends, but at the same time is trying to tell himself that death is necessary. It's like he can't stop himself from trying to push forward. His mind is conflicted and there are suppressed emotions. His will for freedom just seems to be the strongest, keeping everything else hidden. After stealing the Warhammer Titan, Eren must have millions of memories in his mind. These are probably increasing the doubt he has inside and causing a lot of conflict in his thoughts. We know from chapter 115 that he has been influenced by Grisha's memories, but these memories allowed him to understand and develop his own beliefs, using his own logic. I personally don't think that anyone gets completely mind controlled. I think all titan shifters just get influenced because the memories they receive are like new experiences. I could be wrong though. Some people believe that the reason why he's able to keep pushing forward, no matter what, is because of the Attack Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin), as Kruger said that it was the Titan that always moved towards freedom. The word 'Shingeki' can also be translated to 'advancing'. It basically implies a cumulative military attack. The reason it was translated to 'Attack on Titan' is probably because they were trying show that it was the Titan that will always 'Attack on'. Just translating it to 'Attack Titan' gives us a good name for the Titan but doesn't express the full meaning of the word. Therefore, I think we can infer that the main characteristic of the Attack Titan is that it keeps pushing forward. The problem with this theory is that Eren showed this determination, even before he got the Attack Titan. I don't think Eren gets all his determination from the Attack Titan. However, I do think that the Attack Titan is very important and has somehow always had a connection with Eren. As for the 'Mikasa I've always hated you' thing - I think most of the fandom have now agreed that Eren had a good reason to say that and was most likely trying to break Mikasa's Ackerbond. I have to admit, I was going crazy with anger when chapter 112 came out, as well. I think most of us have now cooled down after 6 months and, although we don't like that Eren said it to her, we know that he probably had understandable intentions. Most of us find Eren's mind confusing, but I think what Eren says to Falco in chapter 107 kind of gives us a hint. Of course, there's many ways you can interpret this. To me, it looks like Eren is what is pushing himself forward because he thinks it will allow him to achieve freedom. This will is stronger than any memories that may be influencing him. Even currently in the manga, I honestly don't think Eren is doing things because of anyone but himself. He is a slave to his own will to push forward, throwing away any emotions that urge him to do otherwise. He himself doesn't even know why he has such a strong will for freedom, or what freedom will really be like. He is as Isayama described him: 'a slave to the story'. Regardless of what you think Eren's motives are, I think we can all agree that Eren's character is an amazing one, on Isayama's part. Even if you hate him, his character development over time makes sense and is understandable. Making him start off as a typical Shounen protagonist was genius, as it helped us understand how cruel Eren's world was, as well as showed us that being determined doesn't always make you successful. The fact that Eren started off with this Shounen mentality is the reason why he ended up developing in the way he did and the reason why he ostensibly seemed like a villain when the context was suddenly changed. When you look more deeply, Eren does seem to be suffering and does seem to have hidden intentions but it's hard for us to decide whether of not these will justify his actions. No matter what you think of him, it's hard not to sympathise with him to an extent, as he is just a victim of his circumstances. Given Eren's starting character and the world he lives in, it's hard to expect him to have developed in any other way. Anyway, I've tried to make this as less opinionated as possible, but if you're wondering, I do dislike Eren. I just can't forgive him for attacking Liberio, especially when I don't actually know what his 'big plan' actually is. Besides, every villain is going to have some sad and depressing reason for their actions, and that doesn't make their actions justifiable, in my opinion. Even if Eren is the villain, I love him in the sense that I think he is one of the best crafted characters ever. |

He was my favorite character along RBA trio, until he killed his emotions. He grew up fine looking but totally humanless. I liked him more when he was brave, noisy teenager. |

I don't even think he is a well-written character. Didn't know off-screen character development counted as good writing. He took a turn for worse in a time jump. And we never even got a good explanation for it, let alone actually showing how he got to that point, so I could get invested in him as a character. I've always disliked him but post-timeskip Eren is a piece of sh*t. |

He's not my favorite not even in aot, he's not very good in seasons 1-3 but I think in s4 hes pretty great you can see how his experiences change him into the person he is and what drove him to commit those acts, I don't like him as a person bc of what he does but I think he's a well-written character. |

That's the thing , I don't think any shows like Monster , LOGH , Naruto etc have the best protagonist as well. What's a good character care to explain? |

without the last chapters Eren is one of the most complex and well-written protags of all time. i cant comprehend how people can actually say that luffy is better than him? dude has literally cognitive impairments and is a slight upgrade from Goku, maybe LeLouch or Light are debatable and it is down to opinions. and wtf is forced popularity? it just proved how good and impactful eren's development was. btw levi is not more popular than eren ffs, he's just more favorited, same reason why people like Gojou, they are op characters with handsome faces. |

It's people saying he's the BEST protagonist of all time. That's what bothers me. Other protagonists have their flaws but they amend them in their final conclusion.

By forced popularity, I meant that people are getting so worked up about Eren not being in the top 10 on this website. I've seen people constantly complain about it and the more you do that, the less it will happen. A character's status should be earned, not forced. If people like another character more than Eren, they are still AOT fans. There are many anime where the main character is not the most popular character. Death Note is a prime example. L is far more popular than Light. Put it this way. If Levi fans behaved the way Eren fans did, you would think they're being really toxic and obnoxious. But when Eren fans do it, it's okay? When they target other anime characters like Lelouch, just for being the #1 character and resent Reiner for being Isayama's favourite character instead of Eren, you'd give them a free pass? |

TheWiree04 said: Are you Eren haters or what?he was easily the best shonen protagonist.Aot character underdeveloped and not good?are you watching different series or what?are you sleeping during Marley arc and war for paradis arc?Eren isnt great character?lmao bro is the freedom panel and Eren Chapter 90-131 isn't that great character?that freedom panel was peak MC bro peak MC,are you understand his character and that fredoom panel?are you understand Chapter 139?or are you just like the others hate for no reason? I have nothing against Eren. He's a great character. I just don't agree he's the best of all time because that is honestly way too far-fetched and way too exaggerated. I don't even think Isayama's goal was to make him the best protagonist of all time. He likes to focus on the premise and the characters individually, not just the main character. That's what I love about AOT. It has an amazing cast, not just Eren. So no, I do not hate Eren. I just hate that a lot of characters are now being overlooked and brushed aside because they think Eren is the best character of "all time". Even when Levi was a main character in Season 3, it was never this bad. |

A lot of the fans have even brushed aside Reiner and Erwin and even go as far as pretending they did nothing relevant and it's Eren that did everything. That's how bad it's got. What people need to remember is that from Seasons 1-3, Eren did not carry the whole series. Other characters had their time to shine, like Levi, Erwin, Reiner, Zeke, Armin, Bertholdt etc I love Season 3 the most because it gave each character their own focus. |

LOL you're really not the only person. If we were to rank all the main/relevant characters in AOT, Eren really would be at the bottom of the list. He's your generic Shounen MC more than anything. That being said I would say he's bad per se, (but there's the thing with his character progression, he seems to backtrack at times) and yeah he's relatable. |

It's a crucial part of his character, that's what he was all this time! Those are his motivations, he states them there clearly. If you think last chapter Eren is trash then you should think all AoT Eren (post-timeskip especially) is trash. |

Eren is neither a good character nor is he likable. Essentially, he is shit. |

It's just people who think it's good just because they saw the last season, if they want to talk about well-written characters that are from SNK, it would be for me, Hange, Erwin, Reiner, Ymir or Historia (the latter, Isayama did shit). Even so, to me he seems like a good character, but to say that he is "the best protagonist of all time and that there was never one like him" it already seems a very stupid to me and I think those who finished the manga will know "the because "it's not as good as some say. That would be my humble opinion. |

Most people doesn't call him a good character anymore after that ending. And for the Lelouch, He's just overrated. I would say Eren is a little better than him. |

Seeing this thread made me realise that most of the people don’t analyse characters properly and give biased opinions saying things like - their favourite character has the best development or the character or the show they don’t like has nothing good in it. Some are just here to hate a particular show or its fandom. |

Eren was actually somewhat tolerable early on for me, funny enough, but after the timeskip and all, the shift in characterization really rubbed me the wrong way, and even more so considering that ridiculously awful ending in the manga. |

Lelouch has had far better development than Eren. Lelouch's development was flesh out over three seasons. Eren's development came in a lot later. |

Akitokamisen said: I agree with this person. Gintoki is probably holder of that title. Even tho he's basically a direct parody of a certain someone.Eren is a great character but definitely not one the best shonen protagonist That title either belongs to Luffy or Gintoki (from the popular once) And the fans of aot overhyped everything so just ignore them The "problem" with most overhyped anime like AoT is...... who cares. Everyone has too many "important" opinions and not enough ability to just enjoy an art medium. |
My taste is trash. So is yours. |

There are no real standout characters. Maybe Erwin. Honestly, all the characters aren’t complex or interesting or even just well written. This became very apparent with season 4. |
