      I would argue for the opposite. Well, not exact the oppsite but something else.
      You can take the clean vocals as what he tells himself so he can keep going. The "i swear" scream is to solidify the statement.
      For example:
      "all i ever wanted to do was do right things, i never wanted to be the king". We know that this is not true, he stated many times that he will do anything to achieve his freedom, he's never been someone to consider the betterment of humanity as a priority.
      "all i ever wanted to do was save your life, i never wanted to grab the knife". This is also not true. He doesn't want to have a peaceful life. When he was a kid he said that he wants something to happen. He says that he wants to join the survey corps etc. He never shied away from getting violent. You might even say that he's desire is to fight for his freedom, not to achieve it

    @kyle_hill_864 2 ปีที่แล้ว +893

    I think the most impressive thing about this song is the detail in the storytelling. The lyrics can be taken without the knowledge of the Attack Titan’s ability, and be seen simply as Eren looking at his past, and the choices he was forced to make, as well as his feelings now towards himself in what he’s doing and is going to do. But it can also be seen as him looking at what he literally forced himself to do by using the Attack Titan’s power, giving his past self glimpses of the future to give him ‘to grab a knife.’ And saying he can’t afford to die on his mission for freedom, ‘live to die another day. But that can also be taken as him knowing he may well die as a result of causing The Rumbling, but that’s the fate he’s chosen. I think it’s very clever as it can be understood without the latter context, but is just enhanced more with it

    • @KaneyoriHK
      @KaneyoriHK 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Eren is a reactive character, as much as he tried to be the active character, as much as he tried to be better, the world forced him to put aside everything, forcing his hand to make more and more difficult decisions, but once he has the power, the ability to be active, the one that forces the world to react, it's far too late, he's gone too far, he can no longer make a choice, other than the choice to die. He's no longer able to be who he wanted to be.
      He became his own wall, of which time had no control over, he was doomed from the start.

    • @maxpash6133
      @maxpash6133 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I see it more of Eren trying to justify himself. If we really look deep into his character, we know he wanted to start the Rumbling because of wanting to obtain his ideal view of freedom. The song is from his perspective, and when he says "I swear" it's like him trying to ignore that overall it's what he wanted to do.

    10:00 is such an underrated line. I saw someone saying this could be Hajime Isayama speaking. Him making a new ending(which he replaced with ending he was planning for about a decade) just for the audience and then the audience not liking it. Alternatively this could also be eren just voicing his own thoughts/doubts which is in contrast to the ending of the final season part 2 where he says it doesn't matter whether he's correct or not, he'll keep believing in what he's doing. SiM did an amazing job at this ending from all perspectives.

      Never noticed that. Good Catch! Side Note: I heard he had to rewrite his ending multiple times thanks to his editor constantly making changes in the earlier chapters seeing as how Isayama wrote his story backwards to try and avoid any holes in the story. Most famous edit being the Sasha's Death.

      This is a common misconception. Isayama did not make a new ending. The ending he had planned he has said was the one that had Eren, Mikasa and Armin's arcs in mind. He had that planned since Day One. What he did do however, was consider a Mist type ending. Which he ultimately decided against.
      That's not to say you HAVE to like what hw writes. I just think implying he didn't write what he wanted, even though he has said this is the case, is a little shitty.

    05:00 Eren takes action to protect his friends. While others have morality keeping them from going "too far", Eren ensures that their enemies go down so that his friends are never threatened again. Him stabbing those pedo-human traffickers was him going Punisher style on their asses and handing out ultimate judgement so they never can escape prison and get to Mikasa again. Same goes for the Rumbling. He knew that the outside world would always see Paradis as devils and plan attacks against them in the future.

      I wrote it as a cm and then saw your cm so i put it here since i was talking to fans who have the same pov as you 😅
      Sorry it's too long , it's fine if you don't want to bother reading it 🙏
      The lyric is clearly from Eren's POV and we all know it BUT those lines " doing the right thing , never wanting to be the king , never wanting to grab a knife , it was only to save your life " are LITERALLY just Eren's excuses in his conscious trying to justify his actions by denying what he actually wanted from the beginning and his motives for doing so :)
      He NEVER wanted a peaceful life where he didn't had to grab a knife !
      Remember the first episode , the scene he was laying down under a tree looking at peaceful sky ( life ) he had and he was thinking by himself sth like " this is boring , i wish sth huge would happen ! "
      Him looking for sth that considered " Exciting " in his POV was why he wanted to join the Erwin's squad or military forces in the first place , to run from that boring peaceful life so the titans and saving ppl were only mere excuses !
      When he got mad at Hanse ?
      Well most of us used to think he was actually frustrated by seeing soldiers not being ready for protecting the civilians but if you just go deeper a little bit at the details you can notice he was only mad that nothing was happening and they could chill ...
      Also the scene when he attacks Misaka's kidnappers you can't say " he had no other choice and it was to protect Mikasa " since he did have other choices like waiting for his dad ( They weren't running away like in a few mins )
      Ok even if we put that aside and say it was his only option for saving Mikasa , we can't deny the fact how excited and powerful he felt after taking down those guys by having that look on his face as if he couldn't enjoy it more ! Even blind ppl could see his hunger for power even before the main incident So ...
      even if the titans didn't break through the walls or Mikasa's incident didn't take place , it's quiet obvious that he would have still grabbed the knife ( it's a metaphor ) by finding another excuse to do so ...
      Just my POV tho 💙🍀

    The violin melodies originally come from the series it self the first half of the violin melodies is the opening of the 1st theme ‘guren no yumiya’ and the second half of the melody is from the opening of the 2nd theme ‘jiyuu no taubasa’, so yeah it’s a clever mix of the first two opening melodies

  • @desireable_pro8780

    One “foreshadowing” I love about AOT and revealing the Attack Titan’s true power is that Eren revealed he can “go into the past” or memories and have an impact on previous Attack Titan wielders. But we’ve never seen anyone go back to Eren and try to change what happened, meaning either it was a foreshadowing of what will happen to Eren, or for people who don’t know, the clear cut answer would be that the future Attack Titan wielders agree with what Eren did. I mean, if he did succeed completely, then it would be going to someone on Paradis, someone Eren saved. If that’s how they view it then there’d be no point in going back. There’s a way to take this power into two different reasonable contexts and it leaves a lot of space for theories on which way the story would end - will Eren die, or succeed completely? Ofc we know how it ends, but prior to the end, or if you don’t know the end, then you’ll definitely enjoy this

    -Armin, when he become the hero of the world when he had to admit he's the one who killed Eren Yeager
    "all I've ever wanted to do was save your life, I never wanted to grab a knife"
    -Mikasa, who just want the old Eren and save him but had no other choice but to decapitate him to free his's suffering and their cruel fate

    Damn, first time hearing the full version! So epic. I feel like the fry screams almost represent the titan side of Eren. I got chills the first time I heard that intro, when Eren was screaming at the sky, standing on the wall. Feggin savage. You're right, it makes you wanna just throw a chair or something. lol
    I think you're going to enjoy the anime adaptation. Mappa's killing the final season right now. I still gotta get into the manga myself, but I'm on the edge of my seat right now as to WTF Eren's going to do next in the anime. Amazing character arc.
    I gotta recommend Demon Slayer too, if you haven't checked it out yet. Has a great story, and movie-quality animation. The current season is mind-blowingly good, and probably the only thing 'competing' with AoT for me.

  • @aswd90
    @aswd90 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    To me, the constant shift from aggressive tones to calm tones is a direct reference to Eren's mental state throught the fourth season, because if you pay attention he only demonstrate two emtional expressions, them being Rage and Despair.
    The aggressive tones represent the fog of rage that he feels most of the time, and the calm tones represent the despair the he feels when that fog clears and he's hit with the weigth of what he feels he has to do.

    So, Knox, I was thinking man. You love the intricacies of anime music so I figured what you could do was pick a song by Sawano Hiroyuki. The man is basically a legend when it comes to anime soundtracks and I think he dipped his hand in AoT as well. You can pick any song with his name on it. I can promise you, in terms of accuracy with music, he basically has a learning A.I. with aimbot because his accuracy with music to express emotion, he NEVER misses.

    Knox, you need to check and react to some Devil May Cry OST - IMO one of the best game series ever made, which so far never disappointed me with great soundtrack.
    Here are 3 song titles that I think you'll like them or at least found very interesting:
    - Devils Never Cry
    DMC3 (2005) OST, by many fans called "The True Theme Song"
    - Devil Trigger
    DMC5 (2019) OST, one of the protagonists Battle Theme Song... and a nice banger.
    - Bury The Light
    DMC5 (2020) OST, a true cherry on a pie for just the one and only The Alpha and Omega of this franchise.
