So I saw this same type of thread in the in aot final season part 2 anime where the person asked should aot get an aoe or stick to the manga ending but due to it being on the anime season most of the votes favored to stick to the manga ending because majority of the voters were anime-onlys who didn't want anything to be changed from the manga for obvious reasons. So I wanted to know what the manga readers think about it, so let's see.

Stick with the manga ending but expand on it. Even with the flaws the ending has, it is clear what ideas and themes Isayama wanted to portray. The anime is a chance to express his ideas better.

^^^ Exactly what he said. A manga ending but fleshed out in the way as Isayama desired. That will be much more meaningful and impactful.

Anime original ending if the copium with the 3 timelines theory planned out by Isayama turns out to be true. Otherwise stick with the manga ending so that I can laugh when we watch Connie and Jean turn in titans back into humans within 5 minutes and ellen becomes dove (crying).

The manga ending is pretty good, some people just jumping on the hate train without thinking it through.

Yeah as some people said below, personally I don't think changing the ending can make it better, at least Isayama could try to develop a better way to express and convey his ideas through the chapters that are closer to the end by expanding it.

I'm comfortable with the one from the manga, but I like to see the fandom in chaos, so I go for an original one especially if the ending were tragic and controversial.

The problem is the entire final arc is lackluster in comparison to everything else AoT offers. Changing the ending or even expanding on it only adds a layer of paint to an already scratched surface. I would honestly have rather seen an entirely different story play out starting from 124 onward (preferably horror / dementia to the max).

haha, too bad hacksayama watched too many marvel movies and lost his brain cells after 131 completely
Attack on Titan ended with chapter 123 and 130/131 is the epilogue

Stick with the manga, the anime is already a good adaptation so far. The themes portrayed are very good and there could be no better way to end the manga after the rumbling..

Manga ending, obviously. All the steps up to 123 completely paved the way for what followed. Changing the ending will leave the series with an incoherent follow up and conclusion to the ideas and character arcs presented up to 123.

Isayama on the other hand has always used the anime to improve things he thinks he didn't portray as well in the manga. Since he himself has confirmed that he didn't manage to portray the series themes as well as he wanted to do, he has the chance to fix whatever wrongs he did and give an imporved finale.

We have no guarantee if anime original ending would satisfy the fans. If it goes the mist path, I'm fine with it.
But the manga ending explained thoroughly is my preference.

You cannot be serious lol

Once the whole concept of Ymir and the Paths were introduced, the concept of there being multiple timelines was put on the table and Eren himself even stated that he tried many times to get certain desired outcomes as well. But as for what he's directly talking about, 138 pretty much showed us that there is a timeline where Eren and Mikasa ran away instead of facing the issues at hand and then the second timeline is the manga timeline where Eren ended up dying etc

Now the third timeline is only a theory, but that's essentially what AoE is...There's a lot of evidence to suggest the anime will be a different timeline. Just check youtube and you'll see plenty videos explaining what it is (I recommend you check out either Always Tryhard's channel or Arveus' channel in this case for a more detailed and coherent explanation on everything)

not literal timelines but paths to the ending is what im implying like this one, there are at least 2 paths or foreshadowing to the ending

reverse mist ending or AnR foreshadowing
- chapter 089 - the owl said to grisha to do the plan in order to save mikasa, armin and others
- chapter 108 - eren wants his friends to live long lives so he will not pass the attack titan to any of them
- chapter 127 - mikasa x jean foreshadowing
- chapter 133 - reiner said to mikasas face that eren wants someone to stop him
but ye the AnR ending has some foreshadowing too so im not saying there are no reason for it to be the ending too

If it’s not literal timelines then ur spouting nonsense? 139 has happened, that’s it, that’s the end. Regardless of ur ANR theories and shit lol. There is only 1 timeline in the series….

- chapter 89: that was clearly Eren sending memories back, this was explained in 121
- chapter 108: I’m not sure what ur trying to say here, but this has no relation to an alt timeline
- chapter 127: how is that foreshadow? That’s literally jean thinking of his ideal life, mikasa or Pieck or even another woman, nothing is confirmed….

I think ur too fixated on the fact that it will not be anime only ending and ANR is not possible lol

How is Ymir and paths related to another timeline? 138 was also a memory or at least mikasas envision of an alternative time where they ran away, you can tell by the broken paneling shown multiple times in the manga… it’s not another timeline lmao

youre being too literal and you are misunderstanding me a lot im saying there can be an alternative ending and not literal other timelines since Attack on Titan is a fixed timeline or deterministic universe

im not a fan of AnR ending or the Mist Ending thats why i showed that there are foreshadowing to the reverse AnR ending or Mist Ending (the canon ending that Isayama chose)

AnR/Mist ending - the main character killed their love ones
reverse AnR/Mist ending - the loved ones killed the main character (the canon ending that Isayama chose)

as for the foreshadowing of the Mist Ending and AnR ending you already know that from reading them among their fans like Eren wants total freedom first so he should complete world genocide and want to save Paradis and make Historia his waifu and they will point to you what chapters are those

Your initial claim is that is has multiple endings like a VN??

Foreshadowing for anything can appear if you think too hard, just look at the brain rot in this fandom alone.

People need to accept that Mappa will follow the manga and there will be no anime only ending.

Eren x Historia is literally impossible lol

Then speak more literally, words have meanings and I can’t understand something your thinking of if u don’t portray it well.

The mist ending was scrapped a very long time ago, that’s all there is to it lol. Mappa will be adapting the manga the hopium is insane to the other ppl here who clearly didn’t read it properly 🀷‍♂️

maybe you miss my edit a while ago here it is

AnR/Mist ending - the main character killed their love ones
reverse AnR/Mist ending - the loved ones killed the main character (the canon ending that Isayama chose)

those chapters i presented to you earlier are foreshadowing to that canon ending Isayama did to the manga

AnR and Mist Ending are similar in a way

The panels literally "break" indicating a memory.

AOT does not have a alternative timelines, it is in a fixed timeline where despite influencing the past, certain events are fixed. Meaning, no matter what a time traveller does to change/influence the past, the circumstances will find a way to make that event happen.

Eren cannot change the past nor the future. He can only influence how it happens. The whole tragedy of his character is him trapped within his destiny and the best he can do with the powers of the attack titan and founding titan is knowledge of what will happen, given what his "future" self has sent back to grisha/owl and small influences in the past to make things happen in a way that suits him best....

Please tell me how these pages do not indicate a memory being brought up.....


Jfc there's no point fighting over such a dumb statement... if u cant even comprehend that these are mere false or artificial memories created by Eren then there's no hope.. AOT is truly one of the most misunderstood series ever LOL

It's amazing how your rebuttal doesn't refute anything that I said and instead is just you doubling down on what you already stated in the beginning

But like I said, Isayama already confirmed that School Caste (Which is an alternate timeline or universe - However you want to call it) is canon to the story lol

https://twitter.com/shingeki__kun/status/1402349424584511488?t=J6FGjX6R6DtW758QbxRsGQ&s=19

So no matter how much you want to deny the existence of this fact (I've already told you before that AoT is an intentional ripoff of Muv-Luv which is all about different timelines lol) Isayama and the evidence I gave>>>>>>Your headcanon

The only thing left to see now is if MAPPA/The Anime is actually going to do the AoE timeline

As for what's in the spoiler, you're literally falling over your argument at this point....What's in those memories are alternate timelines....The definition of a fucking memory are things that you the individual have experienced before in the past....So as such, how can they not be an alternate timeline when we already know how the fucking paths work. You tried to use Bert as an example....Eren explicitly stated that he had to make it so that Bert doesn't get eaten because if that happened THE TIMELINE WILL DIVERGE (WHICH IS HOW ALTERNATE TIMELINES COME ABOUT), and the desired ending that he pupeteered into happening wouldnt come to fruition. Eren chose to allow events to play out this way yes, but he honestly didn't have to if he doesn't want to, the only thing that matters here is that he has the ability to play with time as he sees fit. Heck, in the pages where we see memory shards, some of those shards aren't even from the manga and are only in the anime, and some were from future chapters as well (One of the shards is from School Caste too even lol)

Stop posting random panels to prove a point you never even had lol

But if you don't believe me, it's all in the narrative....The similarities to Muv-Luv in this story are strong as hell which should surprise nobody because Isayama already made note of it multiple times

You're the most stubborn guy I've met on here in a while lol....I provide you with all the evidence in the world (Even some from the creator himself) and still you're holding on to your own baseless headcanon LMFAOOOOOO. Then you go on to further prove that your reading comprehension skills are lacking by falling back on this notion of this thread being solely about the manga ending, even though the thread is actually about whether we think the anime should have an original ending or not xDD

Listen, AoE doesn't invalidate your precious manga ending (It invalidates your questionably hilarious headcanon for sure though but still). The manga ending still happened and it's not going anywhere, but as I pointed out already this whole thing is akin to different routes in a VN where we all can chose the outcome/result that we want....You have your shitshow known as the manga timeline, and people like me who want the story to stay true to how it's been set up to end up originally, want it to play out as close as it can get inside of the anime....Hence AoE

If this actually happens I'll take back every bad thing that I said about Isayama all those months ago too lol

Depending on which moment they decide to end the next episode on (Personally I think they should cut the episode right when the heads gets shot off so that the anime onlys can lose their fucking minds just like a lot of us did in the manga lol) we may get another hint if AoE is happening....It basically depends on Mikasa's scarf in the memory shard,, but that requires them to end it once Zeke makes contact....I think some leaks for this episode suggested that this might be in this episode as well

It does because up to 123, the entire story of the series followed philosophies of things like rational self-interest and actively opposed/rejected themes and philosophies such as collective altruism which is basically what everything after 123 (And mostly after 131) randomly tried to throw into the narrative and justify, and as such this is why these last few chapters are plain and simply contradictive of what came before

Armin and co wanting to save the world makes no fucking sense because the world only wanted to use them and then once they saw that the Rumbling was possible, they all collectively decided to take out Paradis....Peace was never going to be realistically attainable and as we saw in the extra pages, they paid the ultimate price for a stupid ass decision that never should have been made

Throughout the entirety of Attack of Titan, the only conclusion this story can come to narratively and logically come to is genocide and yes it's fucked up to think about, but you have to take your own personal modern day morals out of it and see the situation for what it always was

Whether it be kill all the titans, kill marley or kill the world...The theme/end goal always stayed the same...Co-existence will never be possible if one or both sides refuses to play together, so at that point its either us or them

But if anything, watch this video that I'm gonna link below, it goes over everything in extreme detail with concrete evidence and analysis

I thought copium ended with Chapter 139. This thread has the greatest amount of copium I have ever seen since the ending was published. An anime-original ending is extremely unlikely, unless the staff or Isayama "at least" hint at it. Everything mentioned in this thread are just mere speculations. It's the harsh truth guys, but you really need to stop with deluding yourselves. Yeah, I really hope the manga ending changes, but there is no way this is gonna happen. It's painful. It's really painful, I know that. But we just have to keep moving forward.

There's no guarantee that a new anime-only ending will please the fans. That might trigger more manga readers IMO. I liked the last chapter even though it wasn't the best. But if the anime fleshes out the final chapter and its themes a bit more, then it can be a pretty fair ending.

Original ending and somehow it's still worse than the manga's would be fascinating.

The problem is the entire final arc is lackluster in comparison to everything else AoT offers. Changing the ending or even expanding on it only adds a layer of paint to an already scratched surface. I would honestly have rather seen an entirely different story play out starting from 124 onward (preferably horror / dementia to the max).


Why is no one talking about this?

you're wasting your time on that guy. He thinks everything from 1-123 was a good build up for the garbage ending.
Isayama was never someone who wasted countless pages and panels on subplots without pay-off, until the fumbling arc. Everything after 125 was mediocre, only 130/131 were good and felt like both were written before the final arc.
Isayama was going forth and back with his direction in the last 2 volumes because he didnt know how to end the manga
Attack on Titan ended with chapter 123 and 130/131 is the epilogue
