Some guys just overtrash the chapter. It was a fine chapter, and that kiss..

You guys do realize the outfit mikasa is wearing in last panel is from her dream/hallucination







And then there is this, the parallel from ch1.



It will be still disappointing if we don't get get explanations for some things. Tho at this point we might be going for upto personal interpretations.

Personally I can survive with these explanations, but it looks kinda impossible to explain all of these things with the aftermath of battle.

Ymir's motive-
Eren's motive/POV-
Historia's state-

I'm still hopeful after this chapter, I stll don't see what's the ending going to be.

Okay, that kiss came out of nowhere, what was even the point of that? Anyways, this chapter was better than the previous ones at least, one more chapter left, how are they going to end this.

Damn you hate to see it.

as usual reading comments on this forum can give me a brain disease make me wonder just how many brain cells some toxic users have when reading this chapter

it's all mikasa delusional imagination?? kindly explain to me how ch 1 kid eren saw that memory too of mikasa saying goodbye to him in this ch138, the clothes are exactly the same, it's obviously alternate reality not some mind bulshit mikasa make in her head

Also eren is so broken at the time when he first visit marley, the ramzi kid literally breaks him when he knew he gonna trampled them to death in future , he struggled so much that he wanted to use mikasa's reply to him as a way to run away from all these crazy shits he gonna do, so if mikasa really confessed her love at that point, there is a big possibility they both will flee together and leave everything behind

you said eren is chad and he wont do things like running away and shit, just read the uprising arc again the boy had mental breakdown before and he wanna give up on evrything, he's not always the edgy guy as you all thought, the man is so broken from all these things he wanna use mikasa feeling as an excuse

but then he saw the future visions of his choice
- run away : he can live his remaining years but paradis will get destroyed all his friends will get killed in the end
- fight on : he will dirty his own hands, killing everyone outside the island and will have to face his friends as enemy in the end, which is no doubt a route of pushing himself into the hell as quoted frm what he said in ch97

'but there are many unexplained things about eren's motive doing the rumbling, it looks like it's pointless at this point blah blah blah....ymir smile doesn't make sense blah blah ....'
calm the fuck down this is mikasa'a chapter for godsake cant you all be patient and wait till 139 to see eren POV before you judge everything goddamnit!!!

and for those braindeads calling mikasa necrophilia, are you guys illiterate or what ???
quote from wikipedia: 'Necrophilia is a pathological fascination with dead bodies, which often takes the form of a desire to engage with them in sexual activities, such as intercourse.'

she said herself she cant let go of eren, she decided to be the one to execute the person she cared the most and you guys call her nercophilia, mental, crazy, creepy??? what fucking went wrong in the mind of you people???

aside eren, she's the character that suffered the most at least in this chapter for having to kill eren and while her comrades fighting to death out there you ask her to kiss the man first and say farewell words to the man then only she cut his head off??? she need to severe the titan control first to save dying people out there and i doubt Eren is even dead yet, the look he gave to mikasa before she cut him off is probably the most gentle look i have seen throughout the entire AOT series as if he accept what is coming to him

of course i understand the scene at the final panel can be disturbing to some people but tell me what's not disturbing in AOT lmao this is always isayama's style, and you people who straight up use derogative term like necrophilia to describe the resolve of the character are far more disgusting and disturbing lollll either you don't read the chapter properly or you just some trolling mfs

berutoruto said:
and you people simply get so obsessed with AnR ending so much that you tryna make evry explanation to make sense for that ending, ok you all are free to have that ideal ending in your mind, but would you went riot if things in the end wont happen so????

and historia baby will play a great role for sure, the chapter been giving focus to babies but i don't know why people still trying to make sense it's eren's baby? LMAO this chapter should clearly deny all these shits you guys saying what eren is fighting for historia and his baby?? seriously???

if eren really did have a baby with historia , it would have to happen before their visit to marley as he went missing after that only until liberio raid he return and historia is already pregnant...

but in the refuge camp eren literally ask mikasa 'what am i to you???' if eren already had baby with historia that time he should be pushing mikasa away and reject her with whatever harsh words so she can let go of him but he freaking ask ' WHAT AM I TO YOU' so he can get a possible love confession from mikasa????
and then we saw that alternate reality that he will go with mikasa leaving evyone behind if this really happens so kindly explain to me the logic behind this??? why would he ask mikasa such question if he already make up his mind to fight for historia and his own baby??? lolllll

and before you call me some eremika shipper, i don't ship eren mika but their relationships make the most sense compared to your so call edgy humanity enemy couple LMAO

Fuck this shit! Eren is a pussy. Did the yeagerists died for this shit? That bitch was smiling when Rapekasa kissed him.

MadManMad said:

HE JUST KEEP MOVING FORWARD IN THE SEARCH OF FREEDOM BUT IT'S A LOOP
SO BY MOVING FORWARD HE GOES BACK TO WHERE HE STARTED
ALL THIS TIME THE FREEDOM WAS HIS CAGE
HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

Shadzzo said:
Lmao literal necrophilia. Cant believe Isayama destroyed Mikasa like that. Who the fuck thinks kissing a decapitated head was a good idea? If you want a kiss, let them kiss before the beheading. Garbage chapter. Garbage arc.

Some other highlights from the chapter:
-More fake stakes. We all know everyone will be un-titanized by the next chapter. We all know nothing will happen to any of the alliance members lol. "Oh they are cornered this time they are in trouble!" The same thing where the main cast was in trouble in every scene during the whitewalker battle in GOT season 8. They will all be fine.
-Eren not using any of his powers except a simple knuckleduster.
-Ymir creeply smiling at Mikasa kissing a dead head
-Probably all of the Marley soldiers will be fine as well. Im sure they wont even change their minds about "noo eldians are good now!" after seeing literally all of them turning into titans lmao

i have to say after re-reading some of what eren said this ending makes perfect sense.
holy shit, how can you people not see he wanted this ending after he said:
1)you can't lose if you don't fight, lose, lose.
2)i just keep on sleeping until my enemies cut off my head.

i'm sorry for ever doubting you isayama.

armchair3 said:
There's simply no point of showing us the Eren - Historia flashback if farmer is the father. Historia lied about her due date and she herself asked him if she should get
pregnant. The only way this makes sense is if Eren rejected her. But do we really need the last chapter for that?

PlayMaker22 said:


I'm not going to lie, it would be pretty cool

sk8head said:
Wait can somebody explain to me the whole flashback? Is it an alternate setting, where Eren and Mikasa run away? Is that the hidden power of the Akermans? Like they can see what it would be like if they chose a different path??

emanke17 said:
im confused why falco was the one who activated everyone into titans to fight reiner and everyone else

Lux_Vacui said:
The rumbling stopped, but somehow Eren can conviniently keep using some of his founder abilities. And somehow Falco can conveniently use the scream now even though Zeke is dead, but somehow none of the Marleyans titan researchers ever thought of testing new shifters titanized with Zeke's spinal fluid, and observing if they had those abilities.

Let's add all those somehow's to the previous ones, from 124 when Eren couldn't revert Zeke's titans, to the alliance going out of their way to play heroes and help the people who want to genocide them, to Eren refusing to fully use his full powers to stop the alliance in 133, and to the numerous asspulls in 137, and we get our abundant pile of plot conveniences in order to have this final battle happening and going exactly as Isayama wanted to.

Unexplained plot devices apart, this chapter did nothing to redeem the previous one in terms of tones of the narrative, atmosphere and thematic consistency. Nobody at this point can keep pretending the alliance was portrayed as anything other than cliche heroes in the "right" and Eren as anything other than a mad nutjob who went too far. Everything is pointing towards a peace ending with the survivors even though it makes absolutely no fucking sense after what Eren has done. I can hardly see how is the last chapter supposed to subvert all of this, and even if somehow it will end up actually doing that it would still not redeem how poor this final arc has been overall.

Also the "see you later" moment was really underwhelming and just boring for being a plot point foreshadowed ever since chapter 1. Chapters 121 and 122 did far more better at that.

Next chapter we will probably have some closure with Ymir, the titan curse being lifted, and its positive nonsensical consequences for the status of the Eldians, and maybe what's left of Eren and Historia POV.

Incels were too busy jerking off to 130/131 to Chadness of our Lord and Savior Ellen Yeager that they misinterpreted these chapters and didn't understand the point of them is to show Eren as a fucked up, hypocritical, selfish, weak person, one shaken in his beliefs.

But surely Eren is a Chad because he has abs, and also stomps on people. Ok.

Gloomy-eyes said:
Dude, feel free to like the chapter but don’t just brush it off with “Yeagerists” or “it isn’t your headcanon” garbage take. The writing is tremendously flawed with tons of plot holes and convenience. I would be damn surprised if any critics like this weightless arc
