    Also, Eren sees the future when he kisses Historia's hand because he saw Grisha's memories of the visions Grisha saw that were shown to him by future Eren. Future Eren sent memories to Grisha, and then Grisha's memories of these visions were seen by present Eren.

    Not exactly. Yes, AT holders can see memories of future AT holders, but the mechanism is that future AT holders can send back memories to previous AT holders, not vice versa. The distinction is important!
    Grisha can see Eren's memories because Eren sends those back. However, it's future Eren who controls what he sends back because Grisha asks whether Carla is alive or not and why Eren won't show him more of the future.
    I would have also just re-emphasized that Eren cannot see the future in all its detail. He saw bits of the future via what his future self sent back to Grisha. He doesn't know exactly how everything will play out (common misconception). Eren knows he's going to start the Rumbling but not how events play out for it to happen which is why he questions it all and why we also see him get caught off guard multiple times.
    There's this brilliant predestination effect. Eren sees himself commit this mass genocide which depresses him which causes him to isolate himself from his friends. His initial attempts to try to prevent that future are perhaps what cause the events to unfold in a way to guarantee that future. Time is a flat circle.
    On a side note - keep up the amazing content!

    No. Eren sees the future through his connection to Ymir. She is the puppet master pulling the strings the entire time. The very first episode is titled “to you, 2000 years in the future,” and opens with eren receiving a vision of the upcoming destruction BEFORE he gets the attack titan. Ymir is guiding his course the entire time and is the reason he sees the future.

It was already set in stone that his father would escape Marley and enter Paradis so maybe Ymir saw this as the chance to use someone to steal founding Titan from the royal family and set her free. The only problem is Grisha didn't have the will to kill so she used Eren to manipulate Grisha then when he gained the founding from his father it would set everything in motion for Eren to start the rumbling which would force Mikasa to kill him and hence set her free. It's messed up but as Eren said he's a slave to freedom. He was born to set the Eldians and Ymir free.

    I actually don't think that the attack Titan itself has the ability to see future memories. It's future Eren who's sending specific memories to all past attack Titan shifters and that's why the attack Titan has the attack Titan has the specific character of always moving forward and fighting for freedom. That's Eren's as well as Ymir's will.

    The attack titan user can't see into the future you have to send a memory back and let a user look back at a past user who youvsent memories to and let them see it. Eren did this by sending memories to Grisha, and when Eren kissed Historias' hand, he saw the memory of Grisha getting memories, and that's how he saw the future.

    You explained it wrong, Attack Titan has the power to SEND memories to past inheritors. Eren never ever saw any future memories, he saw what Eren in future decided to show Grisha, and through seeing past memories of Grisha he saw what future Eren wanted his younger self to see. That is counterintuitive but super clear if you analyze it. It is 100% consistent because Eren was far from knowing every detail of the future, he was just going along and things were just happening and he trusted things would sort out by themselves. It is a deterministic universe the universe of AoT.

      @@icomeinpeace3756 That is a good question I had looked into in the past but don't remember fully, but I got this: First things first, jus to be clear but I think you acknowledge this, the Attack Titan power was not triggered at that moment at all, Eren had witnessed Grisha memories before that. But the answer you are looking for is simply because royal blood shenanigans + having Founder, I mean just before the rumbling started because of Zeke being in touch with Eren the Attack Titan power was giga-busted for instance and Founder has much better memory control or accessing memories of others and self in general (like Frida erasing Historia memories for example) and at full power it can blend past, present and future like how the paths works (btw paths has also to do with memories, that is why the Attack Titan power even exists). It is somewhat counter-intuitive but the author did had inspiration coming from thinking about how Determinism would work for a killer, which is why it is important to understand that Eren would only do what he did no matter what and he was "born this way". SnK has very strongly this "already born special" or meant for this and that in its philosophy anyways.

      @@icomeinpeace3756 Btw dude, in the paths while confronting Zeke, Eren says: "Yes, four years ago I have seen my own future through Dad's memories. What a sight it was"
      He was talking about the kiss on Historia hand moment, he was unlocking memories of past inheritors of his Titan. This can happen with any Titan shifter, but especially with the founder and royal blood, remember how Uri changed his mind as soon as he ate his father about using the founder titan? He knew why his father refused to do so, or even, he couldn't.
      What I mean with all this, is that hand kiss has nothing to do with Attack Titan power like I said before. It is something else, seeing his Dad's memories. The Attack Titan power is to send memories to past inheritors, it is basically the opposite of every other Titan seeing memories of past inheritors. You know how Galliard talks about Reiner and Ymir moments he had seen glimpses? The Attack Titan can send glimpses of things in the future to the past. What Eren went through is both ways, Eren seen the future only through Grisha memories, that is why it is so important to understand Eren didn't know about everything, not even close, he had seen very limited stuff, he just knew it was going to happen one way or the other, that is why in season 4 he is never worried about anything not working out somehow even if it meant people like Sasha dying, which he was very frustrated and sad about because he didn't know that would happen at all.

    So if the paths exists in the separate dimension, and even though Ymir has been “defeated” wouldn’t the paths itself still exist? The idea of a whole other dimension sounds crazy, so I suppose it could just be destroyed because we don’t really know how it would work firsthand because who’s traveling to another dimension??

    I sometimes believe the Attack Titan users can't see the future because it is its specific power. Maybe only Eren is able to do so as he is in possession of the Founding TItan, being able to see Grisha's memories and sending these diractly to Grisha as well. So, if Annie for example had the Founding Titan, she probably could do the same if she is in contact with someone royal

  • @fireflymiesumae

    Eren's destiny was sealed from the start. It was already set in stone that his father would escape Marley and enter Paradis so maybe Ymir saw this as the chance to use someone to steal founding Titan from the royal family and set her free. The only problem is Grisha didn't have the will to kill so she used Eren to manipulate Grisha then when he gained the founding from his father it would set everything in motion for Eren to start the rumbling which would force Mikasa to kill him and hence set her free. It's messed up but as Eren said he's a slave to freedom. He was born to set the Eldians and Ymir free.
    Side note, Erwin was right when he said Eren was the only one who could save them.

  • @bryan_ferrer
    @bryan_ferrer 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Adding time-travel aspect to what is already a complex plot/nature(tragedies of war, politics & propaganda) made an incoherent and weak written motivation for Eren. They could have added another 2 season to "show not tell" scenes to establish a believable cause considering Eren himself is the instigator. Also similar to what happened to GOT by seemingly adding to many characters with short backstory and suddenly the writer/creator(of the tv series) forgot they only have few episodes left. I am curious what is the original idea of Isayama. Having to change and revise a few to fit those "fans" can devoid its real and coherent intent. I wont be surprised of there is another remake of this like a directors cut.

    Y’all still aren’t getting it-this is not the power of the attack titan. That was just grishas theory. In reality it’s just eren sending specific memories to all of the attack titan users of the past. while he’s in the paths with zeke and afterwards when he has full control of the founder he can control everything and send memories to whoever he wants, past and present. That’s why grisha only saw specific parts of the rumbling, didn’t see Karla’s death, ect. Eren chose not to send those memories

    Good job.
    But I'd like to add My theory.
    Attack Titan is just a normal Titan with motives of achieving freedom due to Eren's Influence throughout 2000 years. As he says, He was never influenced by anyone, He was always like this.
    And about The time travel, It's just a 1 in a million possibility that Eren was the one with Founding Titan but no Royal blood.
    Everyone can acess It's past shifters Memories, But eren had the acess to Founding Titan so he was able to send the memories to people and control everything to reach his Goal.
    so in the end, Attack titan can see the future, but it's not an ability of his otherwise Zeke should have known this. It's just "Ch 139 Founding Titan Eren jeager" who happened to have Both Attack titan and Founding Titan, and he chose to Manipulate his dad by sending him some certain memories and other subjects by controlling them, just like he controlled Dina Titan.

  • @gogl0l386

    I kinda see it as ymir getting her founding titan power and eren getting his attack titan power 2000 years in the future are directly connected events.
    A person like eren to liberate Ymir was her wish, so she paved the way in time and space for Eren to inherit the titan power and all the attack titans previously eren had control over by being able to send memories to them, and thus eren has probably looped time around many times testing different scenarios.

  • @cobaltprime9467
    @cobaltprime9467 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    It’s easy to see the past and future when you’re in a place where time has no meaning. The Paths exist outside of time. And for some reason the Attack Titan can view other user’s lives. While the other Shifters inherit the memories of their predecessors like loading backup drives onto a new computer, the Attack Titan gets access to a higher plain of existence to see it.
    Ymir is the one that builds each and every Titan’s body. She sees EVERY Titan throughout time at once. Her soul endlessly toiling as she sculpts them. Which being the original Titan makes sense. She would also have the abilities of the Attack Titan. Perhaps just not willing to correct the course of events like Eren. As she’s still devoted to her master.
    If you reference the 9 Realms of Norse Mythology, how they’re displayed/mapped on Yggdrasil the World Tree, Midgard is shown as the base of the tree. Or at least the main trunk depending on which illustration you look at. Since the 9 Titans are a reference to these realms, perhaps the Attack Titan is Midgard. The center of it all. Nestled between the branches and roots. This is why it has special access to its past and future.
    The Founding Titan would be Asgard, the highest point of the tree. Only able to see below. So not even the successors of Ymir would be able to see both directions in time.

    Not really, the AOT does not allow to "send" memories to past wielders, Neither Kruger, nor Grisha ever did or mentioned that.
    They had the ability to SEE memories from "future wielders"
    It is even up to debate if it's really "Future Wielders" or if it's only "Eren Yeager".
    What would advocate in Eren's "uniqueness" is that he is the only AOT person to have:
    1. The AOT and
    2. The Founding and
    2.5 The Warhammer (probably irrelevant)
    3. Consciously reached the "Path Dimension"
    4. Be embarked on a trip to the past by a Royal non subjugated to Friz's will
    4.5 Convinced Ymir to obey him (probably irrelevant as we see him influence the past BEFORE convincing Ymir)
    The AOT would then have for single power its combat abilities, and Eren influence of the past due to his unique circumstance HAVE MISTAKENLY LED wielder to believe the AOT could access "Future wielders" memories, while in fact, they are only Eren's.

    I think the power of attack titan is the ability to *receive* the memories of the future inheritor but for one to send the memories back they must get in contact will the founding titan power so my hypothesis is that Eren only send his memories back to Kruger and Grisha when Ymir assisted him.

      I know im 4 months late. Someone correct me if im wrong but from what i understood yes there was some minor different endings and different timelines. Eren in the last talk with Armin said himself that the past, present and future happen all at the same time when hes using the fouding Titan powers and that he tried to get different endings but it was all pointless because the rumbling always happens regardless because the future in attack on titan universe is predeterminated so instead of trying to fight it he just embraced it and did it with the best possible outcome in that scenario that benefited Eldia and his friends

  • @austrociking4345
    @austrociking4345 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hot take: we have no evidence in the series to suggest that Eren tried to change the future he saw when he kissed Historia’s hand. He says this was the only way to Armin, but we see no remorse when he’s actually executing the rumbling in the Paths and no scenes showing him actually being stuck in a loop of his own creation unable to alter events or course correct.

  • @danielduggan526

    If the ability of the attack Titan is to peer into the future, that to me says free will is an illusion, and nothing could have prevented Eren becoming who he was, and that there is some higher power guiding all of these events. OR even crazier, all of the events Grisha witnessed from the future already happened, and they’re trapped in a time loop. You can’t create something from nothing, and that includes memories of the past or future. My guess is the events already happened, and the timeline we witnessed is not the “original” timeline that began the loop. Otherwise how could the future have been known before Eren was even born? Shit is so mind blowing.

    • @internet_warlord

      There is only one timeline. There's no timeloop as well. It's a linear timeline where Attack Titan's + Founder's abilities created a paradox where the future memories is part of the past history. So the scene where future Eren influenced past Grisha is the only timeline, there has been no other timeline where Grisha never ate the royal family, like Zeke had mentioned.

It could have been when Ymir was eaten and her powers split, or it began with Ymir herself. What I’m saying is that no matter what, the future with Eren couldn’t have been avoided, which gives reason that it’s either Free will being an illusion and that there is a set defined future that can’t be deviated from, OR that all of it has happened before, including the birth of ymir and her acquiring Titan powers.
