SnK Chapter 139 Additional Pages Mini Poll Results
Tumblr media
The mini poll results are brought to you by /u/staraves, /u/berthototototo and @momtaku​. We closed the poll with 3,417 responses. Thank you as always for supporting the chapter polls!
  RATE THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONS FROM LIKE TO NEUTRAL TO DISLIKE
Tumblr media
The additional pages for chapter 139 were not particularly well received, at least according to the slice of fandom who took our poll. Three of the four new major moments were voted more disliked than liked, with the one favourable moment being the returning spectre of war (oof). Sadly for Mikasa, her moments were the least divisive, with low numbers of like votes compared to neutral or dislike. The moment where the child finds the tree was more disliked than those, but the likes were a little higher compared to neutral.
TLDR: these pages did little to quell the salt brought out by the first version of chapter 139.
I didn’t think we’d get sucked back into this after chapter 139 lol
Eight additional pages and we still don't know if Levi opened his tea shop smh
Ymir’s convo with Mikasa just created unnecessary murky water. I thought I understood Ymir’s motivations well before these panels: that she needed to see a woman like her, so taken and tortured by unconditional love, free herself from those chains and do what’s right. What’s needed. To show her that it can be done. Or maybe that unconditional love ends the Titan curse. Now I can’t tell whether she just wanted to see someone go through what she did to end the curse. Or she just needed to inflict that pain onto others. I don’t know what Ymir needed anymore. And I don’t know if Titans can ever truly end. I’m left so confused and unsatisfied.
From the way the tree grows throughout the panels and how the buildings at the time Mikasa was at the end of her life looked so different compared to the modern looking buildings which were present during the war, we know that our characters, like eren wanted, lived their lives peacefully. It like looks around a hundred years passed after Mikasa died that this war is taking place. Human conflict never ending has been a big part of the story since the beginning. Even eren has shown thinking this all the way back in season 1. This is a very fitting ending to the series.
I found it acceptable, but I think there should have been more between them during the work from the beginning, so we were left with a question like "who is this girl that Mikasa always sees in her dreams or when she has headaches?"
I loved it. Mikasa showed Ymir that love is not akin to slavery and they helped each other let go. It felt very human.
Well I thought 139 was pretty bad already but I respected that some liked it but now with the extra chapters it’s not just bad it’s hollow for me. Everything is meaningless and the author did it on purpose imo.
Well I thought that the extra pages made the chapter more poetic, of course it doesn't fix the fundamental flaws I had with the chapter to begin with
Well the art isn't shit. And I like the ominous feeling the final pages gave instead of that tragic love story bullshit with Mikasa talking to a fucking bird.
The conversation had aura of sadness. Ymir realized that her life would has been happier if she allowed the king to die and focused on her daughters. Yet, when Mikasa thanked her, Ymir understood that even while sacrificing her life to save him was wrong and her afterlife was full of pain, her choice opened a chance for Mikasa and other people to be born.
Ymir and Mikasa's conversation was sad.
I felt nothing about Mikasa and Ymir's convo because Ymir is severely underdeveloped by Isayama. I don't understand her. Neither do I feel anything for her.
Further butchers the Eren-Ymir dynamic. Mikasa didn't care abouy the titan curse and had no knowledge of the events that led to the 2000 year cycle, yet she's thrust into the spoltlight? She had no clue about who Ymir was, but somehow the final conservation of the series is between them two
Conversation was terrible ymir did not say ONE WORD.
i wish ymir could have done back and forth with characters even if she cant speak. i dont see how it wasnt possible for her to talk to eldians through telepathy.
Aside from Mikasa and ymir conversation, the last chapter satisfied most of my questions, and ended as I believed it would, what hold me from saying it's a masterpiece is the huge plot holes that isayama putted, but these plot holes doesn't make the Manga less of a masterpiece.
Ngl the war continuing was dope asf
Eren was a good character but a horrible person, why are people mourning his death
These pages cement that either isayama has no clue what people enjoyed about his manga... or that he purposely wanted every single subset of fan to be disappointed. I don't know which of the two I'd prefer.
paradis getting bombed is one of the top 10 comedy moments of the year.
Before, the fanbase was divided on whether to like or hate the ending. Now, Isayama has united us all to hate on the hot mess that is 139..... TOGETHER!
To be honest I expected more from Ymir
can't believe granny mikasa is still wearing that raggedy ass scarf
Absolutely terrible conversation that makes little sense - love that Mikasa magically learned Ymir's backstory offscreen and I love seeing her so passive and kind to the person who is the reason why she had to kill the love of her life (as well as Ymir also being the one who enabled 2,000 years of suffering under Titans and then eventually the Rumbling) - really adds to the vibe that Mikasa lost every hard edge she used to have in favor of being reduced to being nothing but gentle, kind, and of course in love with Eren.
I think it was also nice to see the development of modern technology and buildings, Shiganshina as a sprawling metropolis and Mikasa living a long life with a family. Maybe it's just me, but I find simple stuff like that impactful; when you're so attached to a world and its characters for so long, only to witness 60-70 years of growth in the span of a few pages. It's like watching your kids grow up or something (idk, I don't have kids)
Honestly one of the only parts I liked about 139 was the fate of Paradis being left open ended and then this happens
Don't get me wrong, I still loathe the ending, feels like a part of me is incomplete. I do love the additional pages wherein Paradis is nuked and Mikasa kinda moved on, as it invalidates the reason why some fans still liked the ending. Funny if you ask me.
Boy am I salty that we get more Ymir being silent while others talk over her. And words cannot describe the anger I feel at seeing the Survey Corps lead a long happy life, after the Warriors’ forgotten deaths and flat-out character assassination. But there is some sense of catharsis over seeing Paradis get destroyed, and the little kid finding the tree. It doesn’t fix the mess of a final arc we had though…
Answered Mikasa's headaches, established the connection between Ymir and Mikasa more clearly, stayed true to the central theme of how conflict never ends and is part of human nature (world is cruel) but there is joy and meaning to be found (but also beautiful). Also liked the final panel going back to the Titan tree, never really answering the mystery of the Titans.
i like it 5% more , it's "fine" and has a more epic feel to the timeline
Some of the ending fits the themes of the story (like conflict always existing as long as there are two or more people alive, and the cycle of hatred continuing with the Eren tree). I can understand Isayama writing a depressive ending, since the whole series has a lot of depressive moments, but it doesn't feel impactful because we don't know how anyone's life continued. We know a little bit about how Mikasa lived on, but what about all the other characters? Do they still live in Paradis? Do they experience the destruction? Have they tried to stop it? It's just a little too vague, but then again there's not a lot you can do in 8 pages.
How do you shit the bed on the ending twice?
Some pages were good (Mikasa-Ymir, Mikasa and grave), but the tree...
While very flawed, the actual ending pages—I thought— were actually quite sweet. I liked how the story ended at the tree, just as it began, with Mikasa's (hopeful) path to moving on having just begun. It was a hopeful, yet sad, note to end on—fitting with the rest of the story. The new epilogue is far too nihilistic, and while realistic, ends the series on a thematically confusing note.
While I preferred the open ending, I'd be lying if I said the new ending didn't intrigue me. I love the imagery of the kid approaching the tree.
Ending Enjoyers are the most oppressed minority.
  DO WE FINALLY HAVE THE ANSWER TO MIKASA’S HEADACHES? DOES THE PANEL OF KING FRITZ BEING IMPALED SHOW THE REAL HISTORY OR JUST WHAT COULD’VE BEEN? WHAT’S UP WITH YMIR’S ADULT APPEARANCE? WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON YMIR AND MIKASA’S CONVERSATION, IF ANY? 1,619 responses
The final panels focusing on Ymir were interesting for sure, but did little to settle any of the longtime mysteries. Here’s a sample of some of the thoughts shared by respondents:
Mikasa has headaches because she has read the ending
I like their conversation it made since for Ymir to see the person who freed her.
Mikasa was trying to rebel against Eren erasing memories
mikasa's headaches are never explained and dont need to be.
ptsd and fear of losing her family was a much better answer to her headaches.
Ymir poking into Mikasa's head is a good explainatio n for her headaches.
Mikasa's headaches are left up to interpretation. It seems to be implied that Ymir caused them. There's no context with the Fritz panel and the dialogue has nothing to do with it. Just really confusing.
The convo between Mikasa and Ymir was a nice touch that helped add more context to the entire ending.
Ymirs adult appearance i believe signifies her maturing and moving on from her really dumb stockholm syndrome ways.
even Isayama realizes this is kinda fucked up and therefore it's adult Ymir who is love with Fritz and not the child version. Oh My God Please Isayama please stop describing Ymir's feelings toward her master as 愛 what the fuck is wrong with you.
I think all the what ifs around Ymir pretty much ruined the potential of her suffering having a message of any kind. Her relationship to Mikasa is shaky at best, her realisation doesn't have any significant changes to the story line and gives me deux ex machina vibes.
A poor attempt to justify Mikasa been the person Ymir was waiting for
Mikasa's headaches come from trying to understand this plot. Fritz committed sudoku to escape this series. I don't think the Ymir-Mikasa connection makes any sense, nor is it important. Maybe if Mikasa got some attention earlier to set all this up, give it some foreshadowing, it could've worked. But as it stands it feels contrived, drawn out of thin air.
Bullshit, those headaches are just the Ackerbond
King Fritz being impaled is just a glimpse of how things could have been if Ymir had the strength Mikasa showed killing Eren.
It’s a parallel to Mikasa’s own vision with living with Eren. Mikasa used hers to break her love with Eren to kill him, and Ymir used her vision to break her love of King Fritz and end the Titan power.
Yeah, it makes sense. Ymir just wanted to see what Mikasa would do in the future but couldn't as she was an Ackerman. Just Ymir's imagination or what she wished she did. That's her true self finally revealing herself. It was alright. Just glad we finally got some more motivation for Ymir's character.
I thought we already had an explanation of the headaches?? So I'm not sure why this is necessary. Confused about the panel of Fritz
I mean what Ymir went through was tragic and I feel like mikasa made her realized that you have to let go of that person no matter how hard it is and I feel like their conversation was fine with me bc Ymir finally rested in peace
I only ever got more questions from these new developments. None of my questions were answered.
I believed that King Fritz being impaled shows the real history that Ymir retroactively changed in the Paths to show to Mikasa that she was able to do the same thing, which is what the Titan powers “disappeared.” However, the flaw with this is that there should be no Titan powers at the start of the story and AoT pretty much never should have occurred.
BRO I DONT FUCKING KNOW, ONLY YMIR KNOWS
Dislike that King Fritz impaled because can of worms
About King Fritz being impaled, I think it was rushed honestly or Yams on a gun point, I never liked when something is to be left to the viewer where it depends on the viewer's own perspective. Shit like that only works when it is the intended purpose of the whole story itself. Also I never liked that half of the focus went into detailing Ymir's past, I know that it needed to be uncovered but to be directly involved? It also kinda makes my Naruto's Kaguya final boss ptsd comes back
LMAO NO! we had an answer already, in the very first episode Mikasa was having an headache because Eren guided Dina to kill his mother and the reality changed, her ackerman blood noticed it and "sent her a message". This reason if bullshit.
Stupid ass open questions
I liked the Eren-Ymir connection a lot more...
I literally didn't understand any of it. It think it was too rushed.
I was satisfied, because Mikasa love for Eren is different from Ymir to King Fritz
It’s symbolic, Ymir is finally free of her “love”. This whole plot was pretty badly done, but at least this provides some explanation
I like this a lot. At least it cleared up the headaches and Ymirs connection with Mikasa just as Eren mentioned.
Adult Ymir = self actualized/at peace with her choices Ymir.
Adult Ymir looks hot af.
Mikasa first got her headache after Carla was eaten. Why would Ymir try to "peek into" Mikasa's mind then? This reveal doesn't make any sense.
I would theorize on that if Mikasa's character wasn't as flat as Ramzi
Do we finally have the answer to Mikasa’s headaches? : Yes, I think it's due to Ymir.
we didn't  have a clear answer to Mikasa's headache, especially that extremely strong one at the end which transported Mikasa to paths with Eren, it makes no sense it being Ymir, that additional panel is insufficient and makes things more unclear. Ymir adult appearance shows to me her finally understanding everything, letting go and moving on.
I think that the headaches had something to do with the special powers of the Ackermans. A part of those special abilities were the headaches too, that's what I understood.
I wanted to learn more about the Ackerman tbh :(
Mikasa has become a love advisor to the gods LMAO
After the reveal of Ymir loving King Fritz and the comparison of that love to Eren and Mikasa's love... I've lost interest in both characters.
I interpreted it as Ymir not loving King Fritz. The reason why she stayed in paths was because she loves her children. She continued to serve her descendants, every subject of Ymir, her children. Because of love
That fact that you're even asking this proves that everything was left vague and up in the air for people to draw their own conclusions. Which at this point only leads to arguing and people insulting each other's reading comprehension. GREAT WRITING!!
Making a parallel between Eren/Mikasa with a Sex Slave and her Rapist is one of the worst false equivalencies í've ever seen.
I think it was meant to show Ymirs regret. That ultimatley despite her love for Fritz, Mikasa helped her realise that she should have chosen her children. It was meant to illustrate just what Mikasa showed her, that toxic love is well toxic, and that familial love is pure.
It is not enough to answer all the questions....but it remains relatively satisfactory
I think it was nice to see that it was like we were going to see Ymir for the last time.
The panel is just Ymir wishing she was able to overcome her bonds and attachments as Mikasa was able to.
The panel is symbolic. It's meant to show Ymir abandoning her love for Fritz and letting him die in her mind.
if ackermans cant become titans, why can ymir still look inside their head?
how does Mikasa even know about Ymir?
ymir is a simp
Yes, I do believe we have our answer now finally in regards to Mikasa's headaches. It pretty much confirmed what I already theorized even before the additional pages was released, so I liked it, and I'm glad that at the end, Mikasa and Ymir had a brief moment. It doesn't need to be anything more than that, so yeah, I'm pleased with that too. King Fritz being impaled panel I believe is Ymir's wishful thinking, what she wished she could have done instead of passing that burden to Mikasa. In a way, vicariously experiencing doing the right thing through Mikasa is what freed her.
Ymir finally shows up, after the horrible decision to leave her completely out of the initial conclusion, only to have people talking AT her again... I'm so tired...  I'm glad it showed that her true desire, was that she hadn't moved and had let King Fritz die, but it feels so out of place in the same chapter that Eren claims she loved King Fritz. What a mess...
Ymir is an adult because she's free from paths and can go to heaven and join her daughters.
I think she alters history so that she survives and therefore the curse disappears from the timeline
Ymir realized she could've been a way better person than what she was.
"Fritz being impaled" is no different from "Aaron Yogurt lives with Mikasa". Just an alternative scenario that never happened, it is just a vision. "Conversation" between Mikasa and Ymir is weird. Like how Mikasa suddenly knows everything about Ymir and her love to king Fritz? Where did it come from? What is this "goodbye forever, Ymir"? It is like Isayama expects me to cry over this or something.
Ymir regrets not having the strength to let Fritz go the way Mikasa let Eren go. It is beautiful and poignant.
  WE SEE THAT MIKASA HAS A FAMILY AFTER EREN’S DEATH. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS? 3,280 responses
Tumblr media
Many readers were upset with Mikasa’s constant thoughts of Eren even years after his death in chapter 139, but we now see that she lives a long life with another man. This did not please 29.2% of respondents who resent that her character arc ends with a “who’s her man?!” mystery (that’s somewhere the Mikasa fans and Historia fans can commiserate). However, 27.6% of respondents were happy that she was able to move on from Eren enough to have her own family, while still clearly caring about Eren. 18.7% think that because we only see Mikasa visiting Eren’s grave throughout the years it means she hasn’t really moved on from him at all. 17.3% thought that this part of the epilogue was pretty unnecessary, preferring the more ambiguous ending of the original chapter. People had much to say about this, resulting in 7.2% of “other” responses.
I absolutely love getting to see that Mikasa got to have a family & was not alone at the end of her life.
I WANTED HER TO LOVE EREN FOR 10 YEARS AT LEAST!
Happy she moved on. Torn on the topic of "Why she gotta have a man?": Mikasa's life and family is being used to mark the passage of time and generations, because we're here to continue our lineage/species. I'd like to know what else Mikasa did with her life but this is a framing tool.
Her having a family would have been a good thing...if she actually moved on. Now it just kinda makes Jean seem like a cuck and Mikasa still a simp for Eren.
Happy if that man is Jean, if it’s not... I don’t want it. I mean, with Farmer kun at least we knew some background information. If it isn’t Jean, we know literally nothing about him... and she’s the female mc, so. But I’m upset that we didn’t get to see her doing something to else other than visiting Eren’s grave.
How come Mikasa's way of "moving on" was to be lumped with some faceless husband and become a baby machine like Historia while male characters who lost their loved ones like Niccolo, Levi, arguably Kenny, etc are shown to be moving forward without a romance shoved in? Thank you for ruining Mikasa's character Isayama, I won't let this misogyny go to waste.
Honestly idk. I’m a ErenxMika  fan and mikasa is my fave in the show. So I’m happy she moved on, I kinda wish it was with someone else not Jean.
I think showing her aging and visiting the grave is fine, I wish that her marital status was left ambiguous. To be clear, this is a mix of two answers. Yes I like showing her age and still visiting.
I understand her thinking about Eren her whole life, but wish we could have at least seen her be happy with her family.
I wanted Mikasa to move on, but not like this. I can understand visiting Eren's grave with her husband if he's Jean, but why is she taking generations of her family to visit someone who wiped out 80% of the global population?
I wish she had an actual personality and moved on from Eren at the end.
She deserved more layers in her story.
I wish that her epilogue could've been a little bit more conclusive - I liked that she moved on, but the debate about who she married is very annoying (it's probably Jean but we'll never actually know)
I am fine with it, the girl has to move on. However, i find it weird how the family has to visit eren's grave. I believe in mikasa's love for eren but its just odd to make the fam tag along
I don't give a fuck about Mikasa or her family and I'm mostly pissed it's implied she got with Jean just because Eren was dead. Doubling down on forced shipping bullshit only made this shit worse and makes Jean look as pathetic as Eren and Reiner did in the original chapter.
I think it is unfair towards her husband since she loved Eren forever she could ve adopted some kids and lived happily with them instead of marrying someone she doesn't love
i think it was a realistic ending, visiting a grave once a year is not obsessing
why is she honouring eren when he commited mass murder. isayama isn't condemning eren for his actions
Why is the epilogue about her too? Did Yams forget that he has other characters?
With Eren gone, I'm glad she ended up with Jean. However I'm also pissed that her character revolved around one man, and then the only thing people talk about is Eren vs Jean
Woman doesn't need a man to move on with her life. We all know mikasa only loved eren. She just wanted be with him. She never showed any interest in having a family. So I think showing mikasa having a family after eren's death was unnecessary.
Would've much rather a cool scene with the 104th mourning Eren. There are much better ways of concluding her character than marrying her off to someone we don't even know.
I liked that  mikasa moved on but still remembered eren for the rest of her so i'm okay with it
I liked that she moved but hate that she still simps for Eren after being married
I liked that she moved on and fell in love with someone else, but it bothers me that she wore the scarf her whole life, since it makes it hard to say if she actually moved on or not even though she had children with someone else. She could have kept the scarf without always wearing it.
I'm glad she was able to find happiness elsewhere, but I can't help but feel bad about the guy she ended up with. I realize stuff like this does happen irl, and other stories hace done something similar, but it's still a bit weird with the way they decided to show her taking her entire family to the tree. Better than what we had before though.
Don't care. After everything that went wrong in this ending, Mikasa ending up with another man is the least of my concerns.
Don't care, it's Mikasa
I liked the fact she married someone else because EMs are mad.
I love her moving on, but did she? She keeps the scarf and literally dies with it. She makes her generational family visit his grave. What the heck does she say to them? “Yeah this man killed billions, by crushing them to death. Ahh what a lovely, my beloved, my dear, I want you to come back.” WHAT THE HELL? If that doesn’t glamourize Eren then idk what does. This was a punch to the face to any Mikasa fan. And I love how yams makes her the main character in one chapter and in doing so, shits on almost every character.
have you ever considered the fact that we were shown her in the tree because... it's the setting of every event of the last pages? i mean, it's not that she went there 24/7, it's isayama finding an organic way to tell us a whole lot of information that would generally take an entire chapter, if done with dialogues and changes of scenarios. and i'm still surprised that people keep repeating that she is underdeveloped and nuance lacking.
I mean good for her I guess.
I dislike that she evidently never managed to overcome Eren's death. The most significant parts of her character as shown in these pages are that she kept returning to Eren's grave and that she kept the scarf until her death, both imply that her connection with Eren was the most important thing in her life for her entire life. A complete and insulting regression of Mikasa's character development.
I will NEVER get over this. He just used Mikasa for a cheap sequel bait involving her descendants.
She shouldnt have moved on
Given eren and mikasa's love for one another being portrayed as eternal, it felt tasteless and out of character to move on in this way. Moving on can mean different things for different people and people learning to live life in different ways after experiences like that. I believe other ways could have been explored for a character who was so deeply in love with one person. Imo opinion, it sends a bad message (I have similar feelings about historis's treatment).
I wish we saw other people getting older, I'd rather see what happened to Falco/Armin/Reiner/Levi since I found them more interesting than her
I wished she had moved on completely from Eren before he died. Idc if she ends up with someone after that or not, I just want her to forget him. (but only of her own choice and not cause eren asked her to forget him)
I would have liked a little character development for her in the end. And of course we did see some leading up to the rumbling, but it all flopped in 139. Just like the second option, I really didn’t like how she didn’t move on from eren despite all of his wrong doings. If the power of the titans was said to be vanished, surely Mikasa’s ackerbond with Eren would have broke. I seriously hate it
I'm both glad she could move on, and annoyed that it's causing so much discourse. Let her be fucking happy.
I'm glad she married and had kids, but never truly let go of Eren's memory.
I'm glad she started a family without Eren, but still cherishing him for her whole life just feels wierd.
I'm happy she moved on but I can't stand that cute lil memorial for a guy who committed genocide
I'm happy she moved on but I hoped we were able to see her moving on phase that is not connected to Eren (unlike the ones in the panels wherein all is about visiting Erens grave) I appreciate her love for Eren and her visiting him every year but not when her whole ass family is with her.
I'm happy she moved on, but at the same time it felt fast paced so I felt nothing from it.
I'm pretty sure all of Mikasa's grandchildren are talking behind her back. 'Get up sis we have to go that grave grandma never shuts up about'
I’m happy she can move on however it being part of the reason for the removal of the curse of the titans is annoying as fuck and she still visits his grave with the scarf like atleast get rid of the scarf
she betrayed eren in the end it wasn't real love before
Good let the shippers tears flow
I don't like that she had a family and relationship with ?Jean, without moving on emotionally from Eren, simultaneously managing to somehow cuck both.
I don’t like Eren being memorialized and moreover, it contradicts chapter 138
I don’t really have a problem with her starting her own family, vice versa with her never moving on from eren
I don't like all this importance given to Mikasa and her future out of all the other characters
I don't like how Mikasa still wears her scarf until the end of her life while being married.
I don't like Isayama did not develop the Hizuru plus Azumabito plot like Mikasa travelling to Hizuru with Kiyomi eeeeeeeeeek…
It's funny how there were a lot of people saying that they wished they could have explicitly seen Mikasa eventually move on from Eren in some way and that's why they weren't satisfied with her conclusion, then these extra pages come in and it shows that she indeed married and had a family of her own while still holding Eren close to her heart and now people are mad again saying things like, "Omg look how she's literally forcing her family to visit Eren's grave with her she's so disgusting!," as if Jean wasn't Eren's friend too lol. Seriously what more do you guys want? You ask for more and then when you actually get it you get mad again. This fandom confuses the hell out of me sometimes.
It is whatever i dont hate it i dont love it it is just alright
It just play into whole nothing mattered in the end, which I dont like
It makes me feel like Eren was still alive, especially since he had Titan marks on his face even though the Titans were erased. This is confirmed by the fact that his corpse created another Titan tree. I feel like she was still attached to him as her Master.
It makes sense to me with her character
It seems like the story was trying to simultaneously say she moved on but also never moved on, like trying to have its cake and eat it to. I think it's sad that Mikasa's life is just reduced to being shown visiting Eren with her family and then dying. Hiding the husband makes it worse because it implies that he doesn't matter at all and in that case, why even bother?
Mikasa having a family is literally and easily the worst part of these extra pages.. her ending should've been left ambiguous or she should've spent her life cherishing her memories with Eren.. giving her a family is too forced and goes against the themes of eternal love and soulmates.
Mikasa loving Eren who murdered billions, doesn't make any sense, why she killed him in the first place that's some serious poor writing that glorifies hypocrisy.
Mikasa moving on by marrying another man is out of character for her, she was always fixated on one person, that was Eren. This is totally out of character for her and I HATE it.
Mikasa single-handedly ruined the series after being a failure of a third main character.
Mikasa visiting Eren's grave versus Mikasa visiting Eren's grave with her family. Seriously, only shows me that Isayama cannot come up with anything else for her.
She never moved on so I feel really bad for Jean and all their kids. Imagine your mom non stop talking about her highschool ex instead of your own father.
i feel nothing. she moved on, but she still mourns for her friends killer. interesting idea, shit execution.
I had no objection to those who saw this future for her, but showing it in the last issue was in poor taste I think.
I think it's nice to see that she always thought about him, right until the end.
you cant even know if its her, its seen from behind
i don't like the idea that she had to get married to have a fulfilling life. cause there were other ways to show a woman has a fulfilling life other than marriege. her visiting Eren's grave throughout her life is understandble. but with her whole family? I wish her conclusion was left ambiguous. and it feels ooc to me that she just ended up with sb without any build up. we don't even see her face or her life to know if she is happy. if just see the back of her head. and are we suppose to just accept marriage = happiness??????!!!!
I don't really like it but I can't imagine it differently for this character
Realistic. A lot of people lose loved ones and choose to continue their lives. Mikasa always wanted to live a quiet life surrounded by family and she did just that.

Speaking of not liking Mikasa’s character revolving around a debate over which man she ended up with…... which man did she end up with?? Seems quite a lot of people are sure it must be Jean with 49.1% of the vote. The rest of the votes are almost evenly split between it being deliberate vagueness so as to let fans go wild with their own headcanons (25.7%), and not giving a toss either way (25.2%).
IS THAT JEAN?!?!??!?!??!?!?
it's jean's hair, jean's typical hat, jean's height, and jean's crush since the very beggining. this wasn't ambiguous at all.
i just don’t want it to be jean LMFAOO
Cruel because she never got to be with the man she loved, yet beautiful because she got to create an apparently happy family. Very in theme for Mikasa
It'd feel pretty cheap if Mikasa married Jean. Isayama shows she still has that scarf and she's placing a rose on Eren's grave....makes it seem like she never got over Eren but married Jean as a replacement since he was in love with her anyway. It's not a 'win' for Jeankasa shippers at all.
I think her ending up w/ Jean after Eren’s death makes sense, but I wish they had shown them being a good duo at some point during the last arc. Wish they also hadn’t included Mikasa’s grandchild.
Dove Ellen did a shit job at keeping Jean away from Mikasa
I'm happy that Jean at least got what he wanted most
Jean deserved better
JEAN WON BABY. Nice guys finish first
it's also a shame that the identity of her husband is such a big deal. Isayama has always been a troll, though, so I think he made Jean a suspect on purpose.
i am sure farmer or his brother gardener are the fathers jean is only there still simping for mikasa like she does for eren
I only want her to be with eren
I think he is armin but we have to wait for anime to see the hair color
Jean being the husband is just another slap to a character’s face. It would have been better had Mikasa simply adopted a child and raised them then just ship her off with Jean. The amount of love she showed to Eren isn’t going to be replaced and Yam’s screwed it all up by not having Eren show any love back for 99% of the series. Why did it become about love in the end anyways? That was a subplot I wanted developed and answered, but not put as the forefront at the very end.
She loves jean !
Rip fingerstein
If Mikasa was going to think all her life about Eren and making him a priority, it was not necessary to leave her with another man and have children, because it shows that she was not 100% focused on her family and Eren was still the one.  Most important part of her life and her true love, besides that this just started an endless ship war, leaving Mikasa as a shipping tool since people use a single argument "he had sex with her" basically leaving her as a  trophy
She and Historia got completely and utterly FARMED. Eren took a fat L. We smokin that yeager pack REST IN PISS
  WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON THIS PANEL? 3,302 responses
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The dire scene of destruction received the only mostly positive response of the additional pages! War in the distant future could have any kind of connotation, so what was the message here? 29.3% of you think that eternal peace is just not something that can ever exist, so of course war would return eventually. 27.8% think this scene being included made the message of the story essentially pointless and nihilistic. 23.7% think this was representative of the alliance’s whimsical peace being reduced to rubble (even if they were all already gone), making Floch the victor. 19.2% cannot make any judgement as there was just no context to work with.
Erwin died for this shit
If the world suddenly achieved eternal peace, that would make for a terrible and unrealistic ending. Nothing, including countries and kingdoms, lasts forever. Sucks to see the home of all these characters get destroyed but that's just how it goes.
Paradis being destroyed after Eren killed 80% of the world proves that his plan was the worst one possible, rendering his entire character and arc worse than worthless. The story itself is a complete waste at this point.
Paradis being destroyed ultimately as a consequence of the alliance's actions proved the yaegerists right. Floch redeemed, never monged
When I see that the island become fascist, I know for sure that the world would never forgive them.
Paradis destroyed in the future welt realistic to me and I liked this addiction
Everthing that happended before was pointless in the end.Although Paradis getting bombed was realistic,it ended up destroying Erens character more as he waa proven wrong and now he just looks like a dumb person.
Humans in general suck so make sense if paradis is ruined and EMA na the scouts arent responsible for it bec theyre implied to be long dead
I accept the author's vision and opinion! To be honest, seeing there's a war again breaks my heart. It makes me feel that all these deaths were meaningless, but I guess it's in the far far future. So a peace for some centuries is much better than no peace at all. I want the work to be the way the author wants it to be, so since this is how he wanted it to be, that's how I want it to be too.
I wished paradis was nuked a little earlier so that armong and friends all witness the futility of their peace bullshit
Showed the point of Shingeki, humans are the real demons, if the world was wiped out it would just be Eldians vs Eldians
“I would be happy to give up my life, if doing so could change something”. Tell those bootlickers that nihilism is never the theme of the story. A total retcon
People whining about nihilism need to get a grip. Nihilism is based.
I'm surprised at people calling this ending nihilistic especially after chapter 137. the inevitability of conflict doesn't detract from life's precious moments, isn't that the whole point? "the world is cruel - but also very beautiful"
At least actions of allience have some consequences now
At least before you try to believe that Paradis survived despite the dangerously low possibility of that happening but now we don't even have that luxury.
At least Eren delayed the destruction of paradis. Erwin said even if the eldians were alone War is inevitable.
I see the war in the added panels as a direct response to Eren's dumass genocide plan and it probably could have been avoided with a better plan like maybe using the colossal titans in the walls as an army to protect Paradis. Literally any other plan probably would have been better than his genocide one. And if the genocide was going to happen anyways, then Yams should have at least had a better exploration of Eren's thought process before the final chapter and tied up his loose plot threads.
I honestly thought it was brilliant seeing Paradis at war in the unspecified Future.  I also love how it's unknown whether this was right after Mikasa and everyone died, or this is many generations in the future, where some conflict, for some reason was brought up, and we don't know why.  It emphasis the fact that war and conflict is always a part of human nature, and there's no way to acheive eternal peace, but Eren brought the 2000 years of human suffering at the hands of Titans to an end, and he gave the Eldian people a chance, and to be on equal footing with the rest of the world.  But eventually, peace treaties and negations were bound to fail.  The Paradis Island's government group IS LITERALLY NAMED AFTER THE MAN WHO KILLED 80% OF HUMANITY.  Eren also assumingly destroyed many nations, races, civilizations, cultures, and histories, by flattening out most of the world as well.  It would take A LOT of time and effort to rebuild outside civilization to back to a stable point.  I also believe that over time, Eren would be seen by both sides as an Angelic, and a Devil.  Think about it, Ymir Fritz was portrayed as a Devil by the marleyan goverment, and everyone else outside the walls, while the Eldian Restorationists and Grisha Yeager saw her as a divine being.  I belive the same happend with Eren.
As commander erwin once said, war will continue until there is one human or less. So afterall despite everyone's beliefs of being able to end the war and live in peace, the war never ends and the cycle of hatred can never be broken.
As much as I disliked the ending originally, I felt as though I could've lived with it. Granted, eren as a character didn't make sense and ultimately contradicted himself, I still could've tolerated the ending. Paradis being destroyed and the power of the titans potentially returning just kind of says "hey the story always repeats itself, nothing matters." The survey corps efforts ultimately did not matter. Were they fighting for all of Paradis or just the friends of eren? Because all eren achieved with saving his close friends. I understand eren wanted them to survive more than anyone, but you can't tell me he was not fighting for Paradis as a whole.
At least og chapter 139 left things ambiguous but with the extra pages it really took alot from the series and leaves you with the feeling of "what was the point of it all??" Especially how much it takes away from eren's achievement of ending the titan powers
Rest In Peace everyone who died for no reason
So you're tellin me Hanji's death means even LESS now? 😒
By having the alliance save the remaining 20% of the world and Paradis eventually getting destroyed, Isayama unintentionally wrote the most pro-genocide ending he could have. ""If Eren had completed the rumbling, Paradis would have survived"" is an extreme take, but it's the only alternative the fanbase is left with after Zeke's plan and Hange's plan are thrown out the window for the fumbling arc. At least the AnR ending wouldn't try to lionize Eren as some fallen hero rather than the villain he became in season 4. If Eren had been portrayed as a villain, I think this ending would've been way more compelling. Also, the manga originally ends on an optimistic note, with Armin, Reiner, etc. becoming ambassadors of peace with Paradis's future left ambiguous. Now, we know that it eventually is destroyed. We've been following this country for 4 seasons, and its eventual doom is shown in an epilogue panel?? How lame is that.
At least paradis is destroyed lmao thats what you get for being monged
  ARE TITAN POWERS AND PATHS SET TO MAKE A RETURN? 3,295 responses
Tumblr media
A plurality of respondents (41.6%) think that the Power of the Titans is bound to return one day, given the ominously familiar tree at the end. 35.1% can only throw up their hands and accept the unknowns at this point. 21.1% think that the titans were specific to Ymir’s wishes, and that the tree leaves open the possibility of other mysterious powers emerging. Kudos to the lovely 2.2% who just want to call a tree a tree.
I like the idea of titan powers, or something similar, returning to the world.
If the power of the titans comes back, what did eren die for
If there’s a new titan spawning tree, then what was the point ?
If there’s an indication that the titan power is back then the survey corps sacrifices were for nothing
I like the fact that the hallucigenia is still alive and would actually unironically love to see a sequel. I also love the theme of history repeating itself, which was a major theme through the entire story.
Would be down to see more of the world because fuck it big man's fighting, so I'm down with Beren.
The hint of Titan powers returning ruins the experience for me. I didn’t like that the hallucigenia died off-screen, and this raises even more questions
The idea that Hallu survived in wrens head creating the new tree is stupid. If it’s not hallu and Titans are a manifestation of someone’s pain, then wtf is hallu
It makes more sense that the power persists considering it's an actually living being and not Ymir's.
no clear indications that the titan powers did come back. As far as we know eren got rid of them and that is just a big tree
  HOW HAS YOUR OPINION ON THE CHAPTER CHANGED WITH THESE EXTRA PAGES? 3,292 responses
Tumblr media
There were only a handful of additional pages, but they changed the trajectory of the ending and overall story a fair bit. Unfortunately for a plurality of respondents (36.1%) it did nothing to change their negative opinion of chapter 139. For 31.5% of people, it actually made the ending *worse*. For 21.7%, the extra pages improved their opinion of the chapter overall, and for the happy 10.7%, their already positive opinion of the chapter remained unchanged. You guys know what true peace is.
The extra pages are like rainbow sprinkles over a spaguetti ice cream. Its a sweet addition but the ice cream is already weird.
I really liked this chapter, for me, this is the perfect ending
Hated it before, hate it a bit less now
Hated the ending, now even more.
Where is the "my neutral opinion hasn't changed"?
I like the additional pages, but still don't think they make up for the rushed but still "good" ending
i think the first ending was not right so i like the second more
The additional pages just made things worse. We didn't need to see this.
extra 8 pages ruined everything for me
If I'm honest, this ending is fine - or it will be, when it is presented in the anime. It isn't the ending I wanted, and it doesn't feel like a fitting conclusion to AoT. But it's what we got, and its just fine. I just wish it was better.
I think ending the series with the Survey Corps reaching the ocean was a perfectly quaint way to wrap everything up. These 8 pages are just a bunch of nonsense and have nothing to do with the rest of chapter 90.
These additional pages aren't needed, he should've focused on the problems which 139 had like Armin thanking Eren for genocide
If anything, these additional pages confirmed why Eren's plan sucked.
i prefered the open ending, it gave the opportunity for a more hopeful ending . The additional pages made the ending feel much more hopeless
I do feel like an ending I like very much has been swapped out for one that I hate. That's not a pleasant feeling.
No matter what Isayama add to the chapter, "The Stockholm Syndrome" being the key plot point and comparing Ymir relationship with king to Mikasa love for Eren is just awful way to end the AoT.
I accepted the first ending and felt content overall, after it had a chance to sink in. I'm still waiting to see if I can feel ok about these additional pages. Outlook is not good.
I accepted the other ending. Not great but not as bad as others made it out to be. This new ending is absolute shit, it answered all our questions in exactly the wrong ways and sets up for Beren which no one wants.
These pages really weren't necessary. The Ymir-Mikasa conversation was a good addition, except the flashback or what if or whatever that King Fritz impaling was? I think the whole MIkasa moving on undermines the purpose of the last two chapters even though it made sense she would move on. I just didn't need to see that. I also didn't need to see another war breaking, but for me it was still good with the whole "There is no eternal peace". Still my opinions unchanged
I liked it before, I liked it after.
Before, I gave the chapter a 9 out of 10. Now, I feel like the story ends too far into the future, and introduces events which, while entirely feasible and logical, do not add to the story in any meaningful way. It’s like if Naruto ended with the first three pages of Chapter 1 of Boruto: yeah, OK, fine, I guess that happened, but is that really where you want to end your story? 6 out of 10 for me now.
I liked the ending without extra pages, and with extra pages I like it even more. Thank you Isayama
  CARE TO ELABORATE? 1,321 responses
Mikasa's open conclusion in 139 was okay and I thought it was perfect. It was implied that she will move on with her life but not from her love for Eren. These additional pages are utterly unnecessary especially if the message we're getting from her visiting Eren's grave, with her scarf is that she'll remember him til the day she dies. It's as if we don't know that already. AND mikasa doesn't need any man to move on nor she needs to move on from eren in the first place. Idc, my headcanon would always be her adopting and raising a kid and dying a spinster lol
Paradise getting destroyed made the chapter better for me. I also kinda liked that Mikasa was able to move on.
pretty much everything in the new panels was already implied in 139. Like I don't really care to see mikasa die of old age and have war still exist, it all makes sense and it already did in 139 but yams always feels the need to hand hold these fans who can't use their brain longer than 2 secs. HOWEVER, the tree stuff at the end was cool and based, so I like this chap more now
137-139 already ruined the series for me so these pages were just meme material.
139 + 8 pages: It’s trash but with a sprinkle of fire so it’s a dumpster fire chapter. Ruined the whole journey of reading AoT. It felt that the ending ruined 6 years of my life
139 chapter was a great ending and an open where people could interpret the ending however they wanted, together we got this ending
139 genuinely angered me with how bad it was. The 8 pages are hilariously bad.
139 had bad writing and these extra pages didn't make it any better.
139 made me laugh (in a bad way), and the additionnal pages just made me laugh even more. By then, I kinda moved on, I think?
139 sucked because he left it too ambiguous. These extra pages sucked because they gave no substance, and also felt unsatisfying like original 139
139 sucked. That is all
139 was a decent enough ending to this story, Eren was never really the monster that he had the world think he was, there was hope for the future of Paradis and the remains of the world due to peace negotiations and no more titans or military. The war after just kind of invalidates all that and makes it feel pointless. Eren did let his friends live long happy lives but he also wanted to end the cycle of hatred and protect Paradis but the protection of his friends came at the expense of Paradis possibly a 100 years down the line which doesn't sit right with me. Original 139 had its problems but it didn't make me feel like what happened in the last 48 chapters didn't mean that. War just amounts to more war, it feels cold.
139 was annoying enough as it was, but at least it made the story have a decent ending, the extra pages just show that the entire story was for nothing, so I'ma stick with 139 or even AOR
139 was dogshit, but at least it was directed. The extra pages just make it even more incoherent.
Despite Eren's poor conclusion at the end of 139, there was some saving graces, and the chapter ended poetically in contrast with chapter 1. Now, the saving graces don't exist for Eren (Achieved nothing, titans still exist, Paradis is wiped out on top of 80% of humanity) and the symbolic/poetic ending with Mikasa at Eren's grave with no walls is gone.
Mikasa wasn’t a good enough character to deserve to be the center of both the ending and the extra panels. Her character is so vapid that there’s basically nothing even interesting about her aside from which man ends up with her.
I mean I feel like the sub is angry that their theories were wrong and isayama pulled an amazing chad move(IMO) by changing everything. I’m not saying I liked it but I like that he pissed everyone off. I think at this point we need to leave AOT alone for the next year  or at least until part 2 comes out and then we will have a better understanding of the ending.
The ackerman branch and their protection vow is the part of Ymir that felt obligated to protect king fritz. When Mikasa killed eren, the vow was broken and the panel shows how things would have turned out if Ymir had made the same choice as Mikasa. I thought it was nice that Mikasa was giving Ymir peace by telling her that she'd live the live she created for her with fulfilment, but the parallels between Mikasa and Ymir came so late in the story that it doesn't feel like the resolution of anything and it feels like Mikasa was shoehorned into something that had originally nothing to do with her. This moment would have landed better if it was formerly built up.
I orignally had a Negative Opinion on the ending, but still loved the rest of the series, and still respect Isayama's creative decisions. But these final pages, while not majorly changing the ending, provied more closure, world-building expansion, and added a sense of realism to the story.  I feel as if this updated ending, if executed properly with the Anime's Part 2, will absolutely break audiences, and I feel as if this ending CAN AGE WELL GIVEN ENOUGH TIME!!!
A great journey along the way even if the ending was pure sh*t.  I only wish Isayama gave himself more time to present the themes he had difficulty conveying.   Overall I’m excited for his next work, and look forward to another great series.
A hopeful ending after stopping the rumbling felt so out of place and naive. I'm glad the extra pages went for a realistic conclusion to the paradise-world conflict. The disappearance of hallucigenia-kun felt a bit strange too, so I'm glad it didn't magically vanish from the world
a lot of the positive stuff from 139 remains for me, but the these panels really aren't necessary, the amount crammed into this chapter really lower my perception of it
A realistic and tragic ending that still butchered eren's caracther lol, but it's better than what we have gotten initially.
a terrible ending somehow got even worse.
About what? I liked it. Get over it
Added some more context and showed that eventually, they were screwed. We don’t know if it’s 50 years or 200 years in the future.
All those pages added was just more disappointment. Eren’s death meant nothing cause Paradise got destroyed. Mikasa’s life is just weird cause her existing without Eren just doesn’t feel right (Yams should’ve made her less Eren dependent if he wanted to do that kind of ending). I would’ve prefer seeing Armin, Levi Reiner, Falco Gabi’s lives honestly.
Already disliked the final chapter/rumbling arc. The extra pages make me dislike it even more. It continues the trend of creating new questions rather than answering and sequel baits.
Already really disliked the ending, objectively it is way worse with the extra pages, but I don't care anymore
I appreciate the panels but at the same time prefer the ending without them
I chose "my negative opinion hasn't changed" but despite that, the fact that ultra Chad king, lord Floch was proven right is very satisfying
I did not like the extra pages, but I can't be disappointed more then I already am.
Already wasn't a fan of the ending, and the extra pages are more of the same stuff I dislike. War coming back does make sense, but just makes Eren's ultimate "plan" and driving force completely useless in the end. At best, he helped his friends live their lives out before their future children died horribly in a war. He never ended the cycle of hatred he talked so much about.
Although I like that Eren's refusal to rumble 100% of the outside world had consequences, overall, it only meant that the whole manga essentially lost its meaning, as Paradis was destroyed anyways, and the titan powers are likely to reappear.
I've grown to like the "Beren" ambiguous ending more than the peace deals ambiguous ending.
He should have used those extra pages to better explain Armin thanking Eren for genocide.
Can't fix horseshit even if you sprinkle truffle powder over it
All things considered, I liked how the manga ended. Eren being a slave to fate became fairly obvious once we learned about his inherited future memories, as well as how the Attack Titan worked. I'm not surprised that the series ended with Eren dying for his friends.
Can’t get any worse I guess
refuses to elaborate further
  WHAT LED ISAYAMA TO CHOOSE THIS ENDING? 3,218 responses
Tumblr media
Speculation runs amok as to why the new pages include quite drastic changes to the ending. The plurality of respondents (45.3%) think Isayama spent too much time reading feedback and let his doubts sway him into attempting improvements. 32.7% think a new post-post-apocalyptic adventure must be on the way! 22% just think this was always Isayama’s vision; the initial magazine print just limited the pages that could be published.
Ready for Beren sequel woot
Lesson of the day, kids: NEVER let fans sway your opinion on the story when you're already having a hard time reaching the end. By reading online reactions to the story it's painfully obvious who Yams ultimately tried to please.
I think problem here is Isayama thought everyone is smart enough to understand the narrative impact of eren and the story's ending. Isayama later even apologized and said he thought everyone would but feels sad that fans dislike it, which just further proves my point. we let him down because many people just want a badass character without emotions or feelings or any of that shit...truly the worst fanbase
All the additional chapters did for me was hint at a sequel/spinoff.
I wonder if this was the ending Isayama really wanted. I’m looking foward to his interview so I can understand his choices a little better…
editors made him fuck up the ending (possibly to prepare for Beren), the true enemy was capitalism all along
Very neutral on the whole Beren thing. I highly doubt it's setting up some ""Darling in the Titan Academia Shippuden Ultimate"" sequel series. I think it's just Isayama's way of saying the story goes on, both the good and the bad. It's bizarre that he chose to show it by implying titan powers still exist, though.
I actually like the mini set up of a sequel, even if it doesn't exist.
I'm fucking confused. I can't prove it but I don't think a lot of this was Isayama's idea.
He could have explained what he had and cleaned up stuff more and provided conclusions to Connie's character and show Levi with a a teashop. Instead went for sequel bait.
Ngl though, I kind of liked the sequel bait and the memes it brought
If in 4 years isayama release a spinoff of Attack on Titan I'll make a sincere reddit apologize comment for doubting the giga Chad himself
I won't forgive them if we get a sequel.
if there will be an aot next gen, i'd watch it for the memes lmfao
Honestly really like Beren, and imagine mad max world with titan powers holy shit I’d be in love.
if snk2 happens i hope old man reiner shows up, realizes titans are back, gets real fuckin' pissed and goes on a one man quest to kill the worm.
  ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO FINAL SEASON PART 2 OF THE ANIME? 3,291 responses
Tumblr media
After all these years, we’ve reached the end of the journey. There are no more mysteries to be solved. 36% of respondents are still keen to see how the anime brings the manga pages to life, albeit not with the enthusiasm they could’ve had. 25.3% are still all aboard the anime hype train, but 16.4% will only watch if the anime has a different, original ending (copium is a powerful drug). 13% will watch for the inevitable spicy memes, and 9.3% have given up on their dreams and died (inside)...
I can't wait for final season part 2 and can't wait to read the manga volume 34.
Overall, if the ending was given the pages it needed to make such drastic changes then the ending would feel more satisfying. I hope the anime version does it more justice.
Hopefully the anime will adapt the final arc faithfully to the manga but fix the wording and spotty pacing of the last chapter. But since Isayama has had the anime make changes before there's no reason to think he couldn't do it again.
I'm sad about this whole thing but at least the anime OST will be great.
i like the new panels they will be pretty to see animated
regarding the season 4 part 2 of the anime I'm going to be watching it until chapter 123 is adapted then dropping it.
hope that anime doesnt follow yams clownery
I don't want mappa to create their original ending since they've been so faithful to the manga, it would be weird for season 4 to suddenly be so different. But I hope they just animate the original 139 without the extra pages.
Hopefully anime will deliver the ending much better, that's all
Hopefully the anime will add more context to everything
I still hope the anime will have more scenes like Erens conversations with Reiner, Connie, Jean and Annie. Can't wait for the new OST and hope that the paths episodes will be done by the Ghibli team that helped out in the Ymir paths scene in S2!
I need to stop thinking about this series
If I watch S4P2 will I finally be free?

The mysterious child who appears at the end needs a name. Why? Indeed.
(At the risk of explaining the joke, apologies to the confused people who’ve never read Naruto’s epilogue. But don’t worry, I’m as baffled about Kevin as you are.)
He needs a name?
What? Where did those two names even come from?
Anything but the two above
Beren is the only way to fix the shambolic ending
Bevin
Someone save that dog
it's not eren's kid so it should technically be bikasa
What's up with these choises???
The kid looks like a Kevin, now that you mentioned it.
The dogs name is buster
My name is Kevin :)
Beren and his dog are cute.
The child is the MC of Chapter 0 (hopium)
It’s not the child that is the sequel, it’s the dog. It’s name: Dogren.
Albus Severus Yeager (Hope you get the reference)
BOREN
Bymir. Eren might have been the protagonist of the series but that kid is the new progenitor of the new titans(wasn't that a DC series?). It's gotta be Bymir!

why the duck kevin is an  option ?
I dont care about the kid I just want the dog to be safe
Wtf do we name the kid's dog?
Can we call Berens dog Balto? Or 🅱️alto
I hope the dog falls in the tree and gets dog titan powers
Doge titan doge titan
I would like the name Mamoru, which means Earth in Japanese, if I'm not mistaken.
Seno (or Xeno). (Reason: It's the future. People might have forgotten who Eren was or even the past. And also, Xeno means foreign to me, so the boy is a typical "foreigner" with no "subjects of Ymir" Lineage)
Some Norse relevant name of the last surviving human, Lifthrasir
Something dope like Shulamith (i think its a girl)
The Little Elidian That Could
Yogurt
It's better to leave him unnamed.

You've been monged
This entire manga was like a perfectly executed backflip until the landing in which the guy broke every bone in his body then died
You know that feeling when you buy some ice cream after waiting in a queue for 20 minutes? And then, that fucking ice cream just falls to the ground? That's chapter 139 for me.
I have some mixed feelings
Paradis destroyed. History retconned. Floch was right. Not to mention the additional pages could’ve addressed other characters rather than destroy Paradis or show Mikasa bringing her family to another mans grave. No Historia dialogue. Eren offered to erase her memory of his rumbling plan. Did she know or not that he was doing the rumbling?
I didn't even know of these extra pages before seeing this poll, so thanks for that!
I didn't thank y'all for the hard work on the palls before so Imma do it now, it was really fun to see the reactions of the community (except... some). Also those 139 poll results must have been hell to deal with so kudos
BEST FUCKING ENDING EVER
I still like the real ending better than the fan edits, I think they misunderstood Eren's character quite a lot. I hope the anime will make Eren and Ymir's objectives more comprehensible, Armin harder on Eren's actions, and maybe even a nicer final scene for Reiner, Jean, Historia and Mikasa.
I still love this series very much, and appreciate Isayama for creating it. While I do think he wrote himself into a corner/fumbled with his story threads towards the end, I enjoyed the journey. Eren will always be GOAT; I just wish he hadn't died.
I still think the ending was suitable but to be honest, I expected something more elaborated and with a deeper meaning. Something impactful that made me suffer and be sad for a whole week. The ending, as much as I'd like to understand Isayama's ideas, was weak and I really want to like it entirely but I just can't.
I like the idea he was going for but the execution is trash
Amazing survey, thanks for giving me a place to share my feelings about these pages. Shinzou wo Sasageyo.
You seriously don't want to ask me this question because I've already written a 30 page essay about how the ending sucked and I'm still no where near done. Ill save you my rambling but just know it exists.  
I still don’t understand how either ending has managed to ruin the series for some people.
i still wanted an Eruri reunion :<
I subjectively liked those pages
I think 1 more chapter is needed to closure all points yams want to tell.
In my opinion, it just shows that the cycle of misunderstandings, love and thus hatred goes on. If people are so different and not accepting of change and differences, this will always happen through greed and means to an end. Most importantly, it hints at Titans returning to a destroyed apocalyptic environment, which would be awesome. Although, since the hallucigenia was seperated from Eren one has to wonder: Do the titans truly return, does the hallucigenia form anew from Eren's head? Or is it just his legacy; a giant, forever living tree. I'd say it's somehow the former, we know so little about the actual sorce of life. The "all is well in the end" ending that everyone wished for is not realistic in my opinion. Either start the story of humanity anew with 20% left, or show that in the end, it may have stopped the titans, but not the brutality of humans. It is not perfect, because for a more epic and truly amazing story end there should've been no people beyond the walls in this caliber, and that was already established years ago. So yea, the extra pages give more sad, nostalgic and inevitable substance.
I`m disturbed and annoyed by the way the addictions seem to have been interpreted by a broader audience as "Paradis is destroyed by war, the Titan Curse is back, Eren fought for nothing". I wonder if it`s me who`s being naive or it`s the fans who can`t handle ambiguity. I`ve been feeling suffocated by the amount of harsh critisism of aot since 139 dropped and the addictions made it even wosre.
idgaf what other people say the series isnt ruined its still goated. Ending couldve been better but is still alright imo.
Even if most of the story post-time skip was ripped from The Eternal Champion, (and the romance being just as bad as it was in that novel) I still loved some of the moments in the Rumbling Arc. Ramzi and his last coins along with Eren on Cloud 9 while killing innocents was fucking amazing. (I'm not a sociopath, I swear) while I love some moments, I also hate quite a few. Zeke being assassinated in more ways than one, Hanji doing Armin RTS cosplay, and, of course, Eren being a simp.
Paradis getting carpet bombed in retaliation for the Rumbling makes perfect sense and is consistent with what Floch, Eren, and the Yeagerists warned would happen. My issue with this isn't that its bad writing, however; its that these extra panels come right after a whole arc dedicated to saying "Peace can be an outcome!" All the ending plus its extra panels prove to me is that AnR chads were ultimately proven right in that an Alliance ending would not only suck but ultimately doom Paradis and the descendants of our main cast. But hey! At least Mikasa got to confess to Eren and vice versa! Right?!
Much rather would have had the ending have been Mikasa visiting Eren's grave like in the original chapter, not sitting there crying and getting visited by Birdren, but cradling or strolling a small baby, telling him she's ready to finally live her life or some shit like that, nd then leaving, with a big shot of the now wall-less Shiganshina (like a previous panel, so maybe cut that one out so this one hits harder). No husbandobowl, no cringe, just Mikasa moving on her with life and being given a purpose to nurture instead of fighting, as her own woman, in a free world. That or Eren paths ressurrection and they fuck happily ever after, not like there's a big standard of quality for the ending.
the nihilism is hitting too hard and is very unsavory. Aside from not allowing Mikasa to find happiness on her own terms like Levi, I don’t like all this mess made with not understanding Ymir, Titan powers, and paradise’s en. I will say that I don’t think Eren fought for nothing. Anytime we act in life, we take a risk. If we’re not willing to risk everything or fail, we can’t make significant change. That was a core message of the story. Eren risked it all to primarily save his friends (his most precious people) and perhaps secondarily defeat Titans (as in defeat the curse of his people). the fact that he could even act coherently at all seeing past, present, and future all at once—is incredible. So even if paradise didn’t accept the worlds olive branch, or armin failed again once more, or the world never forgave, erens act isn’t meaningless simply for failing to bring eternal peace. He still accomplished long lives for his friend and temporary Titan reprieve. And even if none of that had been attained, his actions still wouldn’t have been meaningless. Because it’s a risk we had to take, whether we wanted to or not. Life is full of unknowns. We must accept that and act.
Ending is still dogshit, but with Paradis getting nuked as the Yeagerists knew it would, makes it better. They had a point, and the manga would suffer if the ending was happy in spite of that.
Ending was absolutely shit on, everything getting destroyed reflects my feelings about what I hoped to happen to the cast in the present day. I mean cmon everything getting destroyed with no characters to mourn it is just cheap
Eren becoming a SIMP instead of talking about freedom didnt get fixed. We could have the same ending but Eren just talking about freedom( and saying stuff that actually fix the plotholes instead of "idk why i did it, only ymir knows". Like dam that was just retarded). 8 pages cant fix bad writing. I wanted EM to happen but damn this is not how it should've happened, way too forced. Rest of the ending is just neutral to me.
Eren did all that for short-term peace, and potentially didn't even get rid of titans completely, thus the cycle of hatred is bound to repeat.
Eren pulling a Lelouche is just bad, Armin thanking him is no good, peace with the world should have been uncertain, just like peace with Yeagerists was left ambiguous, Reiner still sniffing letter, Eren and Mikasa love nonsense still there...etc
Eren really did nothing.
Eren was an idiot. The new ending shows that his actions made no sense
Eren was still completely retconned and Historia turned out to be no better than her mother. Adding a cherry on crap is still crap.
Eren's sacrifices ultimately change nothing
even though i disliked the original ending, i could at least somewhat understand the themes that isayama was going for. extra pages make the message more muddled. for instance, the original final panel seemed like that mikasa let go of her sadness/guilt over killing eren.
Even though I had big problems with how the story ended, I was still satisfied enough with Chapter 139 to call the ending decent. These eight additional pages, however, make the ending straight up bad. Everything the main characters did was for nothing in the end. Paradis got destroyed and it looks like the cycle of Titans is about to continue. Sure, Eren achieved his goal of giving his friends long lives but all of their descendants are screwed now. In the long run, nobody achieved anything. The original ending had some hope to it but this ending is completley cynical and it just does not go well with the hopeful moments seen in the original ending. Ymir getting a conclusion now instead of just disappearing is good but there is so much wrong with the new final pages.  
Ever since the fight between the alliance and Eren started, the story, characters, and overall theming has sunken down deeper then the Marianna Trench.
Everyone died in vain, all the fights, all the struggles were for nothing. Discarding Zeke's plan for this is supposed to be better? This is just mindlessly mass murdering people for no apparent reason.
Everyone was able to continue their lives just as Eren had hoped for.  He died as a slave to fate.  While everyone else is moving on, conflict doesn't stop.  Eventually war would come and time eventually destroys everything.  Eren's head, which was buried at the tree, still contains the powers of the Hallucegenia and thats why the tree grew so large.  Titan powers will return, probably with that kid that discovered it.
Everything AOT built up to is that Eren sacrificed himself to be the bad guy the world needed to heal, but it ended up that the world descended into war anyways, Paradise is destroyed regardless of what Eren wanted. The last pages emphasize how much of a useless struggle Eren and the rest of Paradise faced when against the world, not even a literal god who could predict the future could maneuver around this shitty ending.
Everything felt pointless
The equivalent of a mediocre, expiried icing on top of a cake made of poo. A poor attempt to make shit a tiny bit better
Gee thanks Yams the Nazis won
Gone from a 2/10 ending to a -10/10 ending
Even after having to stomach the idea that in the SNK universe diplomacy doesn't seem to exist all the while crazy nationalists and wars run rampant, seeing the tree at the end was almost even more disappointing. Excuse me, but why on earth would it grow from Eren's head? Why is the head important? I thought the centipede was blocked from getting back to it and that broke the curse? Does anyone, including the writer, know or understand the logic here? And is Isayama implying that there was another centipede host running around before Ymir whose buried head had been sprouting the giant tree for who knows how long just waiting for another host, Ymir, to stumble along? Just why did we get this origin story as an epilogue rather than at a time in the story when it would have felt like an important revelation and made solving the mystery of the titan curse feel satisfying? And I am fine with the idea that the centipede was a species of animal that continues to exist in the world before and after titans, but the choice to show the tree growing big and strong in the final panel makes the whole genocide thing feel pretty pointless - just as the story in general. The cycle continues because Eren was a genocidal dick and Mikasa an incurable simp. Nothing changed and nothing was learned. I don't understand how Ymir could move on because of Mikasa, especially now after these added pages. It didn't make sense before, even less now. As a reader, I feel completely empty and dissatisfied. There was no reason for me to pick up this manga and invest my precious time reading it. It was just another scam. But I guess Isayama made a nice fortune with it, so, well played, sir.
Every franchise I loved in the 2010s died with a whimper.
Half assed ending and the extra pages are set so far in the future that nothing really matters anymore.
He should've left it as it was. I started to accept the first ending but then when the 8 chapters released it just went downhill at that point.
I think it's bitter and realistic. It been made on purpose to not please anyone. It's about human's nature and the cycle of life, starting and ending and starting all over again. It's how life goes. Defenitely different from every other story and with huge impact. I'll never forget this story. Great job Isayama. Thank you.
(sorry for my english, i'm using google translate, i hope you understand a little) Chapter 139 alone manages to destroy all those beautifully  themes of chapters 122 and 131. Even the chapter ""Sinners"" is greatly weakened … but at least Eren and Mikasa's conclusion was consistent. In chapter 139 we know that Eren doesn't want Mikasa to forget him, and he doesn't want her to love anyone else. In chapter 138 (chronologically later), however, he tells her the exact opposite for her own good. It is obvious to the reader that Eren means ""forget me and be free"" in a romantic sense. But Mikasa refuses to forget him and wraps herself in her scarf. It is tragic, but extremely poetic and coherent. What appears on the additional pages is simply narratively incorrect. Why after she has clearly expressed her will, we see her with a new family? Without any build up, with a man who has never considered in 139 chapters? It is forced, it weakens chapter 138, it weakens a love intended as ""eternal"" from the whole production of Attack on titan."
I feel like most people don't get that this didn't really happen, this part of the manga was purposely supposed to be the movie the castes characters are watching on the last fake preview. Why? Well, the "end" kanjis Isayama used for the first ending are the ones commonly used for manga endings. But, the kanjis used for the "end" of the extra pages are the ones commonly used in movies on Japan. After realizing that, I don't think those are Mikasa or Jean at all but actors in a movie. I really wish Isayama was more clear with this as to not cause confusion, but then again Isayama-sensei is usually quite ambiguous at that's something I like about him.
I wanted to see more of mikasa and Jean being married and had a families, Armin and Annie married and had a families, and other friends families to, and more to see more pages of their conclusions. And see their are life’s are like now for example what are they doing and do they have a different jobs. Do they even have family like were they married and have children. That’s what I wanted see more of it. Or Eren is secretly a live and married mikasa and have kids. And some of their friends doesn’t know he’s alive or some do but secretly.
I'm genuinely angry we didn't see Levi's tea shop. It's the one thing I wanted. He should have gone full Uncle Iroh. Forget AoTnoRequiem, I'm gonna write my own doujinshi about Levi and Gabi's Tea Shop Adventures. The first arc will be "The Gang Tackles the Post-Rumbling Property Market".
I'm happy that Aot will continue
Maybe I'm in the minority but I liked the final ending. I feel that everything was fully completed. Yes, some parts have flaws, but I still enjoyed it. Paradis was safe for long years, but while fighting is a part of a human nature - eternal peace wasn't possible and people went into a war again. This time Paradis lost. Yet, there is still some light in the darkness, because maybe one day the titan power will be used again, but this time not for destroying, but for creating something good.
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
Reiner should have been the hero instead of Armin. Eren should have been more vicious. And making it all about Mikasa at the last Chapter was stupid.
Reiner was absolutely fucking ruined
Saw this fizzle-out ending coming from le mile away lads, frankly been somewhat resigned over a year since I realised that the Marleyan perspective and the Human cause were never going to be elaborated on or given the platform, perspective, or even any importance to the plot that they deserve, and that Isayama ignored the idea entirely. With that in mind, a relatively petty ending was inevitable in any case. Pretty lame I think but eh, it's a fun piece of fiction even with that shortcoming.
See you guys in Ermiar: Attack on Titan Next Generations
See you later space cowboys
Still a great journey up until this point.
Still confused about how I feel about the war being shown. The only reason the war makes sense could be to show Eren was wrong. Genocide is never the answer. Even if it bought them time nothing can erase that. BUT at the same time it does also imply the alliance's peace talks lasted barely a life span so like??? Doesn't that mean Eren might as well have gone with the full 100% deaths???
“I'm sad that ""power of love"" turned out to be the extent of Mikasa's character arc (damn it, Isayama...) but I like the idea of her moving on, while still not forgetting the place Eren had in her life. I just wish the narrative actually condemned Eren so I could read these scenes with something other than rage.
PLEASE WHICHEVER MEMBER OF THE POLL TEAM WROTE “NOT EVEN THE FOUNDER YMIR KNOWS” AS A POSSIBLE ANSWER!!! I HATE YOU!!!! I HATE THAT WE HAVE NO ANSWERS!!!! AHHH!!!! (I spent a good few minutes laughing so hard that I ended up choking, so thank you for that, but also I hate you. You have no right to be this funny, damn.)
Wait, I wrote this down and continued the poll only to get to “Attack on Titan: Next Generations”. Please… This is so funny, but why did this amazing manga come to this…
Watching season 4 part 2 with a lot of excitement over chapter 119 animated (Porco and Colt, my beloveds…), and sniper Gabi; some enthusiasm over Path chapters since I know the voice-acting will carry the chilling atmosphere those chapters had; and the rest for the memes.
I don’t think there will be an original ending per se, but probably just an expansion on the extra pages. Maybe we’ll get Alliance side of the extended epilogue, confirmation of Mikasa’s husband, or (the one thing I’d like to know tbh) the little kid’s name and background.
But most of all, I’m just tired. Man, I just want this to end…”
AoT is not a happy manga. It is a dark and sad manga. The happy ending we got was nice for our characters but AoT needed something more, something darker. Their whole island getting ruined was well deserved after how they stopped Eren from fulfilling his path,
Hopefully the Fanmade ending, AoT AnR, will be so good that I can pretend it’s the canon ending.
AOT no requiem is what we should have gotten
Does mikasa even clean that scraf
The ending is good.
The ending is trash
The ending isn’t as bad as people say it is
The Kino is almost there but you fumbled hard
Floch being proven right was kino, rest was more garbage. Read AoTnoRequiem
Floch did nothing wrong
Floch was proven right, that's the only good thing. The rest is still shit and the ending is still ruined.
Fuck armin fuck mikasa fuck chapter 139, nothing make fucking sense. Seriously a tree, a fucking tree. What is the point of wasting your time into a manga about an island if the island goes to shit in ONE PAGE CMON!!!!! In demon crybabby at least we see the planet going to shit in several chapters not one panel.
No but you guys are cool
no hecc u
no it was just like having a bad meal and then drinking water to remove the taste but it was actually toilet water.
FUCK i CANT believe how they ruined a series which had been a 10/10 up until that point
Holy shit I hated the last chapter but now it just doesn’t make sense what Isayama wanted to portray
Honestly I feel like the Mikasa Jean part kinda pissed me off(as you see I’m not a fan). But I think everything else makes sense in context of 139
Honestly the pages didn’t add anything interesting to the history other than more plot holes
I think the chapter was perfectly fine without these pages. Why was there so much focus on Mikasa’s family? What happened to everyone else? The extra pages don’t really explain things better, it just takes the fun out of the deliberately vague ending. The original ending let us decide what happens to Paradis afterwards, whereas these pages answer questions nobody really asked for. Not only that, but why did Mikasa need to have a family to show that she “moved on”? She still wears the scarf and still visits Eren’s grave, with “My most beloved, my dear” written on his headstone. I personally think it would’ve been better if she stayed independent, because this doesn’t feel like she married happily with this second guy.
why must I suffer.
They should have revived Erwin even if he didn't like it.
The whole Rumbling arc (123-139) has been riddled with bad writing (Pie scene, Hange's stupid death, Zeke talk no jutsu by Armin, Past shifters helping Armin, Kaya seeing Sasha in Gabi, "To save ZA WARUDO", Stormtrooper Yeagerists at the port, Eren not knowing why he did everything, Armin thanking Eren for committing genocide) either because Isayama was somehow forced to change his original plans OR he is just a hack writer. Chapter 139 was already garbage, these pages don't change anything
The whole series amounted to Eren not having a clue what's going on, but feeling compelled to commit genocide anyway. Zeke's plan was better. Eren's plan was just a knock-off Karl Fritz plan, but with other countries suffering.
I think the destruction of Paradis make the story better and for me now it moves from mediocre ending to fine ending. Other things in additional pages don't change my opinion and for me they are meaningless
I respect people's opinions really, but all the salt and rudeness and toxic negativity some 'fans' are throwing are just too much and it's honestly killing my enthusiasm over something I really love. Sorry for the rant. But thanks snkpoll team, as always! Stay safe.
There were some very good panels added to a less than mediocre chapter.
The New Ymir panel is a plus. Miksa moving on is a plus. Paradis being destroyed, although it fits the themes of the story, is worse than the open ending we got originally. I would prefer if the whole world was destroyed by the war, not only Paradis. Portraying theme of the never-ending cycle of violence. It feels like it was done for the sequel set up. So the kid could find titan powers in post-apocaliptic world.
I'll try to keep it brief. Although the cycles of war are a theme of aot, humanizing the oher side and try t understand them is also there. With this the idea the wars continuing was disappointing. The curse being broken, would allow for the rhetoric of how the eldians were treated to be changed. They dont have the potential to turn into monsters or weaponized. Also the eldians also suffered from eren's actions and it was eldians who stopped him, showing that they didn't agree with it. These things make it really interesting how the rest of the world and eldians would now interact. The extra pages seem to reject this by showing conflict will continue. Side note the way historia was treated also hurts what could have been an interesting aspect for the future. Instead of seeing what type of leader she can be, she was forced a family and allowed a borderline fascist group to take over. I think i gave my opinion on why I also hated how mikasa was treated as well. The messaging here leaves a really bad taste in my mouth. Just give them a family to move on when there are other aspects to be explored.
I'm glad they lost, since it only would make sense the alliance knew they were risking their island to stop Eren, they succeeded but also failed, it made the chapter better, but the chapter still sucked since imo it isn't satisfying or enjoyable to watch our main character fail and get embarrassed
Isayama unintentionally keeps romanticizing war criminals. Visiting the grave of a person responsible for billions of deaths is not "wholesome". The last chapter is just full of apologetic nonsense for Eren, these new pages change nothing about it. Paradis being ultimately destroyed only reinforce the disgusting idea that leaving 20% of the population alive was a mistake, instead of the nihilistic approach Isayama likely was going for.
It added some small details, but nothing that drastically changed the story. We knew conflict would return, a panel showing it doesn't change much, at least for me. Same with Mikasa missing Eren. It really seemed to reinforce what we already know.
It answered some questions about the ending
Karl Fritz's decision to retreat and build Paradis also led to a long period of avoiding war between Eldians and the rest of the world. He didn't have to kill 80% of the world to do it, so what was the point of genocide?
I really don't care I just want to know about Levi 🥺
No, I don't have the time I'm voyaging to Japan to shit in Yams Sauna
Not only was Eren’s plan just a straight contradiction to his entire character, but what he did “for” the alliance was meaningless. Every character minus Levi had such a poorly handled send off with the additional pages.
Good survey design and questions. I'm taking a break from this fandom because I can't stand seeing a single braincell being abused over and over again. Imagine writing a story on the damaging effects of ignorance and hatred only to attract the very idiots who happily perpetuate that shit. Let's meet again in winter and settle this once and for all.
Only like it more because it stops people reducing Pieck to her ass because of Jean. Also, let's be real, if Mikasa couldn't have Eren (and she didn't remain single) it was ALWAYS going to be Jean
so every single thing that eren ever lived for was totally pointless?? cool cool cool. i've been saying for YEARS that turning eren into some villainous enigma was a dumb move and now it looks like i was right lol. jeez i admit i was never an eren fan and especially not after he started uhhh killing everybody but you know what...at this point i just feel bad for him. now i'm nostalgic for the eren before the timeskip because at least then i could understand him and he was a unique kind of hero. if only he was in a manga where the author didnt hate him, although ironically this has made me like his character more than ever if only because of salt about his wasted potential. guess i'll re-read chapters 71-74 to cope or something idk
So far these extras only serve as a sequel bait. The main message hasn't really been altered. Eren killed himself so these opportunistic rats would have long lives. The only people discontented are the ones who think Mikasa should've stayed a devout virgin for Eren and Eren stans in general. The destruction of paradis is so far up the future that not even us doomers can cackle about it.
The chapter was rushed and vague, but on the bright side it left some open ended topics which I enjoy. Armin had already said conflict is inevitable, we didn't need to see that future war. We don't know if all Paradis was destroyed, but edgy fans like to jump to that conclusion, for all we know, only that city "New Shiganshina" was destroyed. Mikasa was just visiting Eren's grave on his death anniversary, she wasn't being obsessive, her future with a random family wasn't needed. Beren and the implied continuation of the magic/worm/curse SUCKS. For me that's what really made the story pointless. The extra pages did more damage than help.
The conclusion being "hurr durr humanity will always be at war" is just really dumb and shallow.
The entire motive of Rumbling, conversation between Mr. Kruger and Grisha was useless, Eren's desire for freedom even his love for his Mom all was made useless at the end by this clown Isayama.
The entire story justifies genocide by saying if we don't genocide them they will genocide us. It's not as politically intelligent as it wants to be. I don't like the sequel bait. This has become just another popular shonen.
Didn't like the final panel. Would have preferred the one where EMA were running towards the tree together like what was on the volume cover. I think that would have been the most fitting out of all the rest considering the story began with the three of them, so it would only make sense for it to end with them as well. I hope to hear further elaboration from Isayama in the future so maybe I can make better sense of why he decided to officially end it with a tease of the titans coming back or whatever that was supposed to be. That was the only part of these new pages that left me flooded with questions that I was hoping I wouldn't be asking...
Everything with the founder is uneededly complex and opaque. Making romantic love and Mikasa the central point of the climax was a mistake. Eren being able to use power of paths to affect the past and Ymir reviving past shifters (ergo any Eldian), and paths existing outside of time, makes them so cosmically powerful that their choices become comical. Based on what the story showed there is no reason Eren couldn't just revive everyone from Marco to Sasha, or just beam all the info of the outside world into past commander Erwin's head or deprogram every Eldian in Marley's ghettos. Instead he threw a nuclear temper tantrum, after spending the first 100 chapters growing out of that mentality. And I think that, that is a bad thing.
Floch was essentially the only character who made it out the end of Isayamas wild ride unscathed. A good character beginning to end. Should have listened to Floch, or better yet, common sense, and did the full rumbling. Because Eren was too horny for Mikasa and the alliance was too obsessed with "morals", the island was destroyed likely killing atleast the grandchildren of the alliance, and now the story of aot will repeat once again, causing much more untold ssuffering. Thanks for nothing Eren, the alliance, and especially Isayama.
From now on I will stick to manga written by women: FMA, Noragami, Akatsuki no Yona, Kono Oto Tomare, Fruits Basket (Just in case anyone wants any recs)
“Fuck editors. Between this rushed nonsense and Kentaro Miura passing I feel like the two most powerful and influential Japanese stories to effect me as a writer and story teller were taken from me abruptly and I just have to accept it.
After so much emotion and interest and sheer passion invested in Berserk and Attack on Titan, I feel like I’ll never get closure for either of these epic stories. The last two months have been rough in that regard. I wanted to take away something from the ending that I could hold onto for the rest of my life. Titan was so deeply powerful, it needed an ended that felt like it took the time honor the immense journey Isayama took us on. It made me feel like Isayama didn’t even care about his characters as much as he did.
As a writer he is allowed to disappoint his audience. But he let down the characters that he created and treated them like they were just props for plot devices. Perhaps my mistake was that I didn’t see them that way and cared too much about this story.
Also...
Am I the only person who assumed he was going to stop at 145. The 13 plus 9 thing seemed less meaningful compared to 145, as that was the King who created the walls. We saw that number constantly. I feel like he had 6 more chapters in him to explore the effects of the rumbling and Erens motivations.”
Gabi did nothing wrong
Genocide is whack as fuck.
Goodbye AoT. Wish it didn't have to end this way
Great ending fuck you
What was the point of Historia’s character, if she wasn’t in the story at all past season 3 it wouldn’t even change a lot.
While I don't like the ending or the additional pages, they've made me appreciate a lot of the earlier parts of AoT, and the manga as a whole, more.
why!!!!!!!!!!!!! what was it all worth YAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? WHHHHYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!
Wish we saw Floch memory shred
wish I could've known what was the origin of the Walls Titan and what happened to Yelena, but well, whatever
Guys, you didn't liked the ending,read the fan-fics, don't hate isayama. If you liked the ending, don't bitch about people trying to enjoy fan-fic. Also, don't try to sell your favourite fan-fic as canon as dm editor and kondansha. Don't spoil it for anime-onlies. Attack on Titan was entry point to whole different world for me. I liked every character, every music and literally everything about Attack on Titan. Never felt the shear adrenaline rush about watching anything other Attack on Titan. Even now thinking about ep 5 ending, AT and CT reveal scene, declaration of war give me chills. I think the ending was something that people can be content about. Really sad that we won't get anything extra in future(at least not the og cast).
I actually liked the chapter, these pages just made it all meaningless
I actually liked the ending better.
I actually was somewhat satisfied with chapter 139, but these extra pages made me create a negative opinion on the ending.
I already disliked it, but somehow some of the few good things I DID like about it were crapped on, making me hate it even more which I thought was impossible.
I already disliked the original 139 chapter, and these additional pages just solicited that. More than anything, I did not understand the odd and undue focus on Mikasa out of all people in the end, with her apparent obsession with Eren all the way to her grave literally right next to his and with the small hold scarf around her neck. However, I will say that Paradis being destroyed after the world had time to rebuild entirely makes sense. Armin can’t talk-no-jutsu his way out of this, and it only proves that Floch was right and Eren’s 80% was the most stupid thing he could have done.
I always felt like Ymir's thoughts and feelings were left a bit too open, so even just a few extra things are good to have.
I am assuming that the war is for whole different reason and not rumbling. War is a common thing in any nation's life. Regarding Mikasa, though I liked her moving on, all of her panels just being around Eren's grave didn't assure me that she moved on. Had we got just one panel of her being happy with her family and her husband, I would have no problem with it.
I am free
Aot was a mistake
Loved it before, still love it now. Peace.
LOVED these pages and the fact that erens genocide did not solve any problem.
Make the titans 5x taller, constantly hardened skin, transformations the size of bunker bombs. Add in some magical powers and paths fuckery and we got the ADVENTURES OF BEREN a dark comedy
I think no matter what, I seriously love Shingeki no Kyojin. This was the work that inspired me to think for the first time that the way you tell a story is way more important of what it is about. I aspire to one day write something that I feel proud of, as Isayama-sensei did with his work. No matter what this manga will forever hold a special place in my heart. And honestly I'm so grateful that it has been animated so beautifully by the multiple animation studios it has gone through, it deserves it. I apologize to whoever will have to read my lengthy responses, I'm just too passionate about this manga, sorry.
What I have the most problem with is the freaking tree at the end. In 139, we see Eren take away the power for all Eldians to transform into titans, but there's hardly any closure for the hallucigenia. In my theory, hallu-chan is life itself (as implied by Zeke in his conversation with Armin) so, as long as living creatures still exist on the planet, the worm won't die or go away. It might take up different appearances, but its existence is tied to life. The hallucigenia might be under that tree, but we don't know if it will lead to more titans or another kind of power. Thanks for listening to my absolute bonkers theory!
I want Beren to eradicate earth
I wish Historia had a larger role in the final arc, and that' where my disappointment rests.
I'm not pleased with the direction Isayama decided to take this story.
I’m still on hopium. However for the ending to really be good the entire rumbling arc needs to be revised and that’s basically impossible. Just hope mappa animators get some good treatment
I'm thankful I was a part of this community, theorizing chapter to chapter, the memes, people I spoke with. I think I'll remember the reddit folks more than the manga itself
I'm tired. Hopefully Part 2 will have great animation for the amazing moments that will be in it, but it will come to the same hollow ending sadly. But I wouldn't miss it because I still enough this series for the most part.
I've wasted so many goddamn years on this shit
Ymir Freckles shoulda lived and take Historia away from all this royal bs
Words cannot describe how much this ending hurt me.
Yeah the about the wars, I don't know if it's the same war that would result from Marley vs the Paridisians. IDK if that would make much sense because shit looks pretty advanced in the panel with the bombings. So IDK. Also I think the clear implication of Bob and the tree is that he's gonna find the Titan power again. It looks exact to Ymir finding her tree, soooooo.....why else would it be drawn??? Also I just really like the way the tree is drawn. Also, if that IS Jean, then LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I like each of the individual scenes but I feel like with the exception of Ymir and Mikasa's meeting, that too much is still left unexplained. I also liked the ambiguity of the original manga ending.
i like how Floch was proven right and it shows that the rumbling was the only way forward
I like how they show how war still continues and that this cycle is one of inevitability
I like it more as it shows that Eren not doing a full rumbling lead to his entire country being obliterated. It’s a bit of realism the original chapter 139 lacked.
I like it more now because we got a complete ending in previous ending things are left very open, mikasa was 19 and has no family or friends in paradis so she needs to start over again by having a new family so it makes sense why she got married and paradis was at peace for a few centuries which is good if eren did 100%rumbling paradis would survive but there won't be any peace it may last only for 10 years at max
I like it showed the consequences of the alliances actions.
I like it slightly more for the extra (yes, it's not much) context that connects Mikasa to Ymir. I also love the art of the final few pages and it's cool to see the ravages of time and war from one vantage point.
I like Mikasa's development in the future and I find the war against Paradise Island very realistic, counting as the world was at the end of the story. The only thing that maybe I didn't enjoy about this 8 pages is that tree becoming like the tree where Ymir found titan powers the first time, because it means the story is kinda open to another circle of titans and stuff and I don't think I'd like that.
I like more Mikasa moving on and the realistic aspect (it´s settled in the future and wars are recurrent in time). I like less and less the Ymir resolution
I like paradis being destroyed basically. The rest is bad/meh tier
I like the way the cycle is shown at the end, there will always be conflict, its not because of the titans, and the clarity of the endings message has gotten better, its still not perfect, its a little bit rushed, but the extra pages made it better. I hope that they take some extra time for the dialogue between Eren and Armin, it could help a lot.
I liked a more bleak finale
I liked how the ending had a significant element of unanswered questions. The additional material has given us some answers while raising new questions, so ultimately my feelings are unchanged. I still enjoy the ending overall, but there was some poor dialogue choices by Isayama.
I liked it a bit, but it doesn't change that the last chapter sucked and the entire series(mostly time-skip) sucked.
I grew to like the original chapter 139 after weeks of thinking about it. These extra pages truly make the story meaningless imo. What was the point of all this suffering. If Erwin learned about this outcome, would he think the mountain of lives lost was worth it?
I don't know if constant twists over being able to foresee the trajectory of this story was a good move in the end. It leaves more questions than answers. Although we are given tools to figure out enough. I guess I'm just tired of the simpleton one-note meme-like ""interpretations"" I've been seeing. It'll be a few years until the collective fanbase has a more consistent opinion on this series. Or maybe we'll constantly be fighting (poetic). Either way, I'll seclude to my own space from here on out. I'm grateful for the podcasts and polls ye have done. It's been one hell of a journey. I wouldn't be surprised if there was ever an ""End of Evangelion"" treatment to Attack on Titan.
Ymir being in love with the King was very random and I disliked it. Eren being a slave to his powers could’ve been more enjoyable but it ended up w/ him coming off as a nonsensical character. Suddenly he’s a hero, not a genocidal maniac.
Ymir plot is the biggest plothole, if she love Karl Fritz she should have lived with him, but she chose to die for that spear, whitout regenerate herself. This should be changed.
Zeke was proven right. Would have gotten the same results without the genocide.
AoT no Requiem is Kino
AoT No Requiem is my new personal canon. I didn't like ANR theory but it's better than the bullshit 139 chapter.
At least I‘ll still have Berserk...can’t have a disappointing ending If your story never ends :,)
At least it’s done
At least Levi got a good ending I guess.
At least the ending to Game of Thrones didn't justify genocide.
At least the memes that came out of this were good lol.
At this point the 8 pages could just be a weird movie ending when considering that it follows the caste AU where rather than saying "end of a series" its "end of a movie" in japanese
We need more World Building
We were dead-ass calling Eren the greatest MC of all time with the best, logical character development ever. Clown moment.
Attack on titan was a great experience
Attack on Titan will forever remain my favourite show/series
Attack on Titan, your ending might've been shit and full of bullshit and asspulls, but I still adore you. I wish Isayama and his wife a happy life, he deserves it after so many years of consistently delivering a great story for people without breaks or hiatuses.
Authors should never let never themselves be influenced by fan comments because a fan service ending made of retcons is bound to be a complete failure.
i havent smiled in 2 months
In summary, maybe good idea but very bad execution.
I liked the pages, though I wish they clarified more things that weren't very clear.
I love Attack on Titan manga/anime even with this rushed nonsense Rumbling arc and conclusion of this story. Without this Rumbling arc (130,131 are exceptions) this manga would be one of the best. But it is what is it. Now my,and maybe perhaps other fellow Titanfolk people, hopium is anime original ending or the people behind Anr project will deliver fan ending which is the perfection to end this story,which will become the headcanon of many of us. I am writing off roads, but how to end rhis additional thoughts. I am still happy I was part of this ride even the end was downfall, still enjoyed most of it,even these last chapters and pages, thanks to memes, which were the best of it
I love that even the pollsters are done. I don't think I've seen this level of memery and (barely) hidden salt in any poll before this. Anyway, please allow me to acknowledge about the poorly written political allegory (I mean, titans are Jews and once ruled a global empire? Seriously?) and misogyny (looks like every recurring female character's fate in this series is to either die or get impregnated? Oh wait, or they can become a fascist a la Rico and Hitch. Nice.) which is sort of concerning but...ehh what do I know. I don't even know what to make of Eren. Is it too late to say SnK ended at chapter 50/73/80/whatever other number is popular these days?
I personally say despite the reactions to the ending, Attack on Titan was a fun ride and I miss it.
I personally think the story went down hill since they reached the ocean. AOT should've never changed to a political and philosophical story. Even Isayama admitted the themes ended up being to much for him as a writer. Eren should've never been turned into a (fake) edgelord.
I love this series and I still love this series despite thinking the ending is lackluster. Eren nearly surpassed Lelouch for anime protagonist to me but alas it wasn’t meant to be. Maybe AotN requiem can save some of us that enjoy fan fiction.
If I'm being honest, I feel the series in general got weird after a while, particularly after the timeskip. Like, it was already weird to begin with, but at least it was so in a way where it was definitely still great. The Return To Shiganshina arc in 2016 was really the honeymoon phase of the series for me, or when I felt it was at its best. But after that, it started to go downhill from there as it drifted somewhat from its roots, and it was definitely still good despite being weird, but not as good anymore. The series made certain decisions that really just felt arbitrary or out of place. For starters, Historia seemed to become so big in Uprising, but then she was essentially written out of the story and made not that important anymore because of a pregnancy subplot that already felt sudden and forced and out of nowhere to begin with, and had no real payoff for all the emphasis and foreshadowing and time it was given either. Then,  they had Levi sabotage himself with the Thunder Spear against Zeke, which was essentially character derailment. Levi would have never done that back then. And they gave too much time and panels to Gabi and Falco for too long. I like Falco as a person, but I feel he took certain scenes that would have been better for Historia to have, particularly as a titan. And I'm sorry, but with all due respect, I was not curious to see what Eren would have been like in another world. Also, weren't Eren and Zeke supposed to be rivals who clash? That feels like a dropped idea now. I also think Eren should have been more concerned about Zeke dying than Historia becoming a titan if he knew titan shifters would be saved and didn't want Historia eating Zeke. Otherwise, it feels so overcomplicated and done in a roundabout way for no reason when it would have been so much easier if Historia just became a titan. And in general, I think Eren and Zeke would have made a better enemies of humanity duo at least as a temporary measure. I liked that Historia strongly opposed genocide and would prefer for her to remain that way and temporarily be Eren's other light foil opponent alongside Armin. I understand much of this is just my personal opinion. But even so, it felt like the series later on could have been noticeably better if it was just given some tweaks.
Is AOT still antiwar? I owe an apology to all those saying not was fascist or was open for fascist readings. I was blind by my love of the series. I did not read the first article and ignored salient points. The reason I write this is that I feel that's why the ending is bad. Simply because it refuses to entertain the idea of the piece and wrote Eren in a way where he was forced to commit genocide and where him succeeding probably would have been a good thing. It is kinda weird how the paths lets yams excuse Eren's actions as a closed time loop he has no real control over. Like I interpreted his break down in chapter 123 if I recall as him choosing the course of events based on possible futures and realizing the human cost of his actions. But this later chapter demonstrates no he had no real control ever and it is a closed time loop. Kinda sad to on thematic level the one character desperate for freedom was a slave and it's only a blip in series. Like you would think that be a pretty big thematic arc but the ending kinda of sells it for the ymir plot.
Isayama master troll
isayama masterpiece
Is ok to believe the ending wasn't that bad, but I cannot take seriously anyone who says that Attack on Titan is a "master piece" unironically.
It's not that serious as other people make it out to be tbh, and that's coming from someone that adores cohesive and deep narratives.
With some time I moved on and barely care. Rumbling arc haven't become better with those additional pages. Most characters still feel like a caricature of themselves there. I think the theme touched after timeskip ended being too complex for Isayama to handle and all of his weaknesses as a writer came to light. Events that should've got the focus, explanation and especially careful treatment were barely touched while things that could've been left to imagination or never moved the plot filled the pages. Why explaining plotholes, forgotten threads?  No, let's exibit the destruction of paradise that is so vague, it only makes the point of "war, war never changes". Yes, it was explicitly told in the story before, but character arcs (I.e. Gabi) were there to show that it's not true, it could be broken. Why mourn for 80% of humanity and those who suffer the Rumbling consequences? Pfft. And Schrodinger Mikasa she moved on but she didn't. It's hard to believe she is happy, the only scenario that comes to mind is Jean with wig pasta. Tree finale doesn't feel earned. I guess it was meant to be tragic, but hopeful - cycle continues, but maybe this time it will be broken. But only joke "Beren and his dog Tukasa: New Generation" comes to mind.
“Your question about watching the new season of the anime was very badly constructed. The only choice to choose from that involved not watching the anime was ""I refuse to waste any more time on this franchise"" (which is what I picked, not because that is how I feel but because it is closest to the reality of not watching the new season). This question needed a few more possibilities such as ""I don't care for watching (the) anime in the first place, so of course I'm not going to watch the next season"" (which is how I actually feel), or ""I'm undecided at this point in time"" (as I MIGHT watch it if an anime original ending occurred and it was brilliantly executed).
With regards to the question about the Isayama and the ending, I actually think that this was an early draft of how Isayama envisioned the ending (though not necessarily his original draft), and that he deliberately cut down the character development of a lot of characters (e.g. Eren, Zeke, Reiner, etc.) to shoe-horn Armin and Mikasa back to prominence. There was also not nearly enough foreshadowing to imply Eren's ROMANTIC feelings for Mikasa, or any reason for his pathetic display in chapter 139. Chapter 139 destroyed much of what made SNK a great series (and to a lesser extent so did chapters 132 through 138), though at least the final few extra pages were a return to realism (even if it was too little, too late).
What also helped me accept the ending more was by a perceived parallel to chapter 69. I think Isayama intended for Eren to undergo a similar development to what the 145th King Fritz did, where the ultimate power of the Founding Titan turned Eren into a compassionate individual who wanted to stop the rumbling in such a way as to ensure a paradise of peace for his closest friends. Re-read chapter 69 with Uri as Eren, Kenny as The World, Helos as Armin, and the peace of the walls with the post-rumbling peace negotiated by Armin.
I still love SNK (like a bad divorce where there's still love but also too much pain). If any of the fan projects manage to deliver on a solid and convincing ending, then I'll probably discontinue believing in Isayama's ending and will take a fan ending as my new headcanon.
Lastly, thank you all for making this survey and for participating in the community. I think you still have a lot of room to grow with regards to survey because several of these questions were very narrow in what answers they allowed, but excellent initiative all the same. Perhaps it would also be a good idea to end the survey with two open questions: one for (constructive) criticism about the survey itself, and one for allowing people to share additional thoughts on the ending (not covered by the survey itself).”
“I tried giving this anime a chance, I really did. I know many animes take a while to get into things, but 64 episodes in, and I have given up on this shitshow completely.
In the first season, I had high hopes. We were introduced to many cute waifus early on, such as Mikasa, Sasha, Armin, etc., but they show almost no skin. Fan service is essential for any anime, but the directors and animators of this show were so arrogant they thought that they didn't even need to include it to be successful. This is a recurring problem, and there are so many missed opportunities in each season, including Gabri wearing a night dress instead of a tight bikini. The only skin we ever see is in season 3 part 2. After the whole erwin and armin, fiasco we end up seeing armin shirtless, but it turns out she is flat AF.
I skipped season 2, so I will just talk about seasons 3 and 4. In the first part of season 3, it is pretty much just talking and no action. The most exciting part was when Armin has Aaron chained up and there is mad sexual tension, but of course, it ends with nothing sexual happening at all. I stopped watching season 3 part 1 right there.
In season 3 part 2, people whose names I forgot who were Aaron's friends are suddenly evil and titans? Aaron fights them and blah blah blah and suddenly we go to his dad's story which is completely irrelevant to the plot. I skimmed through the last few episodes and saw no titans fighting so I just stopped watching.
With season 4, I was hopeful because a new studio was taking over and maybe they could improve this heaping pile of dog shit, but my hope was quickly extinguished when i saw gabriella's attire, as i mentioned earlier. This last episode was straw that broke the camels back when they did not play the ost i wanted at the end when Erin transormed. RIght when i finished that episode I spammed all of MAPPA's staff telling them how worthless they were for not playing you see big girl.
This might just be the worst anime of all time, and that is no exaggeration. It is somehow number 2 on the rankings right now, so I am gonna make as many accounts as I can and rate this trash a 1. Anyone who enjoys this anime is too easily entertained and must have a very low IQ”
Birb was better then tree
Blessed. I hope results for this are close to the truth and yagercucks or 139 fanboys don't give multiple answers
Bad ending, still the best shit I have ever watched/read. Thank you Isyama
drink water and stay hydrated
At this point in the story I only cared about 2-3 characters and they didn't show up in the extra pages, hopefully because they lived long and happy lives.
At this point, we don't really care. It was a fun ride till we hit this point. Goodnight.
AOT IS FUCKING FIRE AND IF U DONT AGREE UR A BAKA

SnK Chapter 139 Poll Results
Tumblr media
We expected a big reaction to the final chapter but none of us on the poll team were prepared for the 16,290 responses we received. This month, Reddit accounts for ⅔ of all responses, significantly more than most months where Twitter and Reddit are even.  Our write in doc, which is normally a few hundred pages, exploded this month to more than 1,300 pages, which by the way, is more pages than Lord of the Rings or War and Peace. If you’d like to see all the write ins, they are available as PDF downloads. If you’d like to see larger versions of the charts, they are similarly available to view.
This poll data was collected before the fandom had seen the additional pages, so keep in mind the answers don't have the knowledge of that content. We’ll be releasing a mini poll in a few days that focuses on those pages to see how they’ve affected perceptions of the ending.
On a final note, in the 138 poll we asked people to guess the name of the final chapter. No one correctly guessed “Toward the Tree on That Hill”. The closest was “Tree of Life”, the only reply that mentioned a tree. Very well done, Jaxenoxi!!
While we have the mini ending poll and a series-retrospective poll planned, this is our final chapter poll. We on the poll team also wanted to share a few words and thank yous to our readers, which you can find at the end of the results. As always, thank you for supporting the community poll.

  RATE THE CHAPTER 15,998 Responses
Tumblr media
For the first time in our 48 month poll history the results for “Rate the Chapter” do not resemble a ski slope but rather a bumpy road, which given the mixed reaction to the final chapter, seems like a fitting analogy. “Toward the Tree on That Hill” averaged 2.93, claiming the title of lowest rated chapter from Chapter 91, which averaged 3.6.
"Could've been done better" is an understatement.
I loved it so much and its also sad that Aot is no more😭💔💔
Basically, it could have used some editing, probably another chapter or two to flush things out, and some slightly different characterizations, but the basic thematic and plot elements were good. Overall a reasonably satisfying conclusion to an amazing series.
4/10 Ending, had some good parts I guess. Still a 9/10 series, just not the near 10/10 it would've been with a tighter last arc and better ending.
45 PAGES ISN'T ENOUGH!
i love it, but what happened to yelena??
I caught up with the manga in chapter 91, and have been answering these polls ever since they first started, after the first Tumblr character popularity poll (hi mods. Love you all <3) and this is the first time I have ever given a chapter anything below a 3. It gets saved from a 1 because of Levi and the Scouts, and that's it. I'm so disappointed…
I genuinely liked a lot of the twists in the chapter, but it was pretty obvious Isayama was rushed due to this impending deadline. I am of the opinion that if this chapter were extended into a multi-chapter epilogue we might have actually gotten some closure on things we didn't even see enough of (Yelena, worm thingy, Ymir's Stockholm syndrome) and expansion of other aspects of the story.
I literally cried real tears. The closure from this final chapter is something that is much needed.
6/10, too many plotholes, felt rushed, the story deserved 1 or 2 more episodes to be finished properly, too much wasted potential for the end.
This ending completely destroys the final message that Attack on Titan was supposed to sell: war is bad, violence is bad, morality is grey, genocide is never the answer, children shouldn't be involved in war, and the abusive relationships should be left. Hell, I can't like the characters at the end either cause their social status basically benefitted from the needless death of 80% of the human population (on top of how many other life forms?) and they acted like nothing was wrong with it? I can't support that.
The symbolism I thought was beautiful as could be, with a bittersweet ending that really tugs at the heartstrings but also gives some feeling of hope left with ambiguity.  There are some aspects i may have not liked 100%, but mostly i really enjoyed the chapter.
I hated it 80%
Absolutely loved this ending. Was expecting way worst tbh
Not the best but not the worst. Still would've appreciated either ANR or a full ragnarok ending
Overall I just wish it was more tragic and impactful as opposed to this kind of wishy-washy ending.
Absolutely perfect, just a bit of odd things in there but then ending was perfect.
actually not that bad outside of the context of aot (still bad but better) as the last aot chapter tho its beyond bad by destroying so much post-timeskip
"Ruined previous chapters"type of bad
7.8/10 too much water
Overall, I think it was the perfect ending, despite what people say. Thank you for the past few years. We’ll never forget you AOT ❤️
Not the best chapter in entire series but it is one if the most memorable chapter that no one will forget
i can’t believe so many people hated on it when it was truly a perfect bitter sweet ending
I CAN'T FUCKING BELIEVE HOW BADLY IT SHIT THE BED RIGHT AT THE FINISH LINE
   WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING WERE YOUR FAVORITE MOMENTS? SINCE IT’S THE FINAL CHAPTER WE’RE BEING GENEROUS - PICK UP TO THREE!! 15,845 Responses
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Life sure is good for the Levi fans. In a chapter full of controversial moments, Levi’s quiet farewell to his old comrades is a Colossal Titan’s head and shoulders above the rest (71%). In a distant second place, the favorite moment is Levi (again!), plus Gabi, Falco, and Onyankopon in the future looking fabulous, then in third place we have Falco diving into Gabi’s arms for a hug suplex (20%). Seems Gabi and Falco were beneficiaries of this chapter too. Armin and Eren travelling through space and time follow with 19.8%, then Mikasa thanking Eren for wrapping the scarf around her (also 19.8%), and finally, the relief of not being a slave to the manga’s monthly schedule (18.1%).
Artwork was dope as always
Gabi x Falco was the best thing in the entire chapter
JSC reunion was also super emotional. I *almost* cried.
Historia managing to give her child the love she did not receive, Eren reaching her loved one by breaking the Ackermann's mental resistance after ten years of headaches, were also pretty poggers. Yeah, when you asked what my favorite moments I would have liked to say a lot more than three ahah
ARUANI AND EREMIN AND FALBI <33
Tbh the best parts of the entire ending are Levi's crying scene, Connie and Jean Seeing Sasha, and Onyankopon, Levi, Falco, and Gabi walking together.
Thank fuck at least Levi didn't join the Eren fellatio session and escaped this shitshow unscathed. I'm glad him, Gabi, Falco and Onyankopon fucked off and are living the cozy life in !London.
I am very glad Levi survived, and that some of my other favourite characters survived and had happy endings
fave part was definitely levi getting to say goodbye to his comrades, cried like a little baby during that scene ✋
THANK YOU ISAYAMA for keeping jean and connie alive, i would’ve been so sad, and seeing levi gabi and falco together was so cuteee
Levi could walk with a stick but why bother when you can have brats pushing your wheelchair? Lmao
There are some gems in this chapter though: that Levi panel, Sasha's smile (they were so wholesome and beautiful), Falco and Gabi's suplex, and, of course, the actual artwork in the panels themselves!
I am very happy that the titan kids received redemption and had a chance for a normal life and it was the only thing that made it a bit sweet.
It feels so... mixed. Parts of it are astounding, like Levi's farewell. Parts of it are actually pretty fine, like Eren falling victim to determinism. And parts of it are awful, like Ymir being in love with King Fritz. I really do feel like the worse parts were shoved in to replace things that Isayama was made to take out. Maybe that's just coping, though.
Ellen becoming dove (crying) is the single best meme to come out of the series, and Falco, Gabi, Levi, and Onyankopon got the best ending by far.
Finally I`m free from this manga
Finally it ends, no more "leaks when"
Did Gabi suplex Falco or did he knock her over?
i love how the fate of paradis was left undecided.
I like how the alliance-now-ambassadors for peace are doing a work in progress for world peace.
I do truly love Armin and Eren's journey through the paths to see all of the things they promised they would visit together; it felt like it tied up a piece of the plot nicely.
Gabi suplexing Falco honestly makes this 4.5/10 chapter into a 6/10, I just can’t get enough of it.
Hate some parts(Armin thanking Eren, Mikasa being too attached to Eren by the epilogue, etc.), really love others(the open ending and role reversal, with a paranoid ultra nationalistic Paradis, and a world wishing for peace).
I hope levi, falbi and onion coupon stay together for the rest of their lives 🥺
Gabi for Wrestlemania
  WHO WAS THIS CHAPTER'S MVP? 15,824 Responses
Tumblr media
Congratulations to Armin, who was voted MVP for this final chapter at 21.5%. Yet Armin only just managed to defeat Yelena for the title - Yelena, whose high number of votes was despite not appearing in the chapter at all. Oh boy.
Tumblr media
In third place at 18.9% is Levi, because he was undeniably given some of the best moments in these final pages. Next is Eren at 17.2%, who got a bittersweet farewell - whether you thought it was more sweet or more bitter, he left us with strong feelings for sure. Then we have Mikasa at 10%, whose love is apparently the single most powerful force in the AoT universe. Even more so than her abs!
I love all of them but I'm particularly proud of Levi
ARMIN GOAT
Armin is the best character sorry not sorry
MIKASA HELOS
MIKASA LOVE FOREVER
MIKASA SUPREMACY
Mikasa is the MVP
Falco is a king
LEVI AND FALCO OG
Levi deserves better
Levi deserves the world
LEVI GOAT KINO RAW SWAG FIRE EMOJI
Levi Goated since 2013
Floch best character
I'm mostly mad about HOW DID ISYAMA FORGET YELENA!!! she was supposed to be there like at least they tell us about her ending!! it's not fair to just let her go like if she wasn't there, she suddenly disappeared?!! from the ending!! FOR EVERR!! ew
And what's funny that Isyama forgot about yelena but he finally remembered or realized that girl with the glasses (sorry I forgot here name 😬)
As long as pieck survives thats all that matters, Pieck and onion coupon supremacy
I cried like a baby, and Levi is the best character ever in the history of Manga
HALLUCIGENIA-SAMA WHERE ARE YOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
  WHO HAD THE BEST GLOW-UPS IN THE EPILOGUE? 15,784 Responses
Tumblr media
Armin truly does get it all--the girl, the hero status, the ambassador status, chapter mvp AND the best epilogue appearance!! More than 1/4th of the fandom chose Armin for Best Glow Up distantly followed by shoujo model Falco (13.1%) and cottagecore Gabi (11.2%). Pieck, rocking classic Hollywood movie glamor was the only other character to make double digits (10.5%)
Onion Coupon has that mighty ass drip, I know Falco rocks the Turtleneck but Onion Coupon just can’t be beat.
that panel of Armin in the glow-up question was a lie, buddy just has a Levi haircut now.
Even if I'm bit upset at some parts, I'm happy to just see the characters, espeicially Historia's character glow up.
falco looks better than all of the female characters in the series
pieck is so hot
the peace ambassadors in suits were sick
Reiner glow down. Hate to see that. He was much hotter.
  WHAT ARE YOUR OVERALL THOUGHTS ON THE ENDING? 15,936 Responses
Tumblr media
As expected based on the spread on the 1-5 scale, we’ve got a fairly close split here. While the majority leaned towards disliking it at a combined 50.9%, the most popular single response was liking it, despite some flaws at 37.5%.
Maybe I was disappointed because I was expecting the best ending in manga, or it destroying me emotionally by how everyone was gonna have a sad end. It was good, it made sense overall and I liked it, but I am well aware that it had the potential to blow our minds, but it was wasted.
Overall I liked it. It wasn’t the ending I wanted or expected but it wasn’t as bad as people make it out to be. Another chapter with more dialogue and tying up loose ends would have gone a long way.
At first i hated this chapter with a passion but after watching some of the "explanations" for some of the shitty writing i kind of came to some what like that chapter i still think its disappointing and no where near perfect (5-6/10)
there was no other way for aot to end it was perfect
Beautiful and sad. I think the ending is great, and looking back at the relationship between eren and mikasa it makes sense that they were in love. Ymir being in love with Fritz did catch me off guard, but it also makes the ending make sense and explains a lot about why she did what she did. Overall will go down as a masterpiece in my opinion!
I hated it at fisrt, after reading some good opinions and with a better translation I learned that it is a very good chapter and is coherent with the whole series.
Tbh I hated it, character consistency went out the window, why tf did everyone thank eren for committing  mass fucking genocide???it’s so dumb  
A bit disappointing but I liked it more than I didn't.
At first I thought it was okay, but I think I ended up enjoying it way more after a few days passed. Initial reaction was disastrous as usual and that didn't help much. Overall, I liked it.
Sad (but in a good way)
Sad (in a bad way)
Came for titans, hated the politics, loved the ending
Maybe it wasn't perfect, but I personally couldn't really see it ending any other way. Regardless of other's opinions of it, I liked it a lot and thought it was really good along with the rest of the series.
Fucking awful shitty fucking what the fuck
not great, not bad. it was good. even tho it's not my dream ending i still liked it. 10/10 series to me
At first I was upset; I thought didn't like it. But then I let it sink in, I reread it, and I gave it a day. I guess I was more upset that it ended. A fine chapter that has its flaws, but overall a nice ending to the story. Nothing too grand, nothing too epic. Just a realistic end with many adventures to still have. My favorite kind of ending, honestly, because in life not every loose end is tied up.
It was sad I didn’t like it a lot.
I loved it and how it tied the whole story together. I hope that I never move on from attack on titan, what a masterpiece.
Liked it more as time went on.
I loved it but some of the plot points i didn’t really like.
I loved it, but it could’ve been done better. For me, the story remains as a masterpiece with a average/good ending.
Not canon. Trash. Shitty. Waste of time. Character development? Thrown out the window
One of the best anime/manga endings of all time, though I would've liked it a lot more if the yeagerist's full rumbling plan worked, as I really wanted to see the future interaction between eren and his former friends.
It's been a long journey and this ending is suitable for this story. I loved it.
didnt like it much, then hated it, then loved it, then liked it ok, then loved it again.  Ive been mixed lel
Maybe even better than expected. It could have been a massive fail or an incredible ending, but it was a nice ending for the series IMHO
i initially hated the chapter, then liked it, then loved it, then felt ok about it, then liked it. 9/10
In my opinion it could be one of the greatest manga ever, legendary product of fiction. I feel like getting invited to a royal restaurant, having great time whole day and at the end being served shitty sandwiches in the take-away box while being rushed to leave
Just can’t believe it’s over thank you isayama! 
  PROTAGONIST. ANTAGONIST. HERO. VILLAIN. EREN JAEGER'S CHARACTER HAS CONCLUDED WITH THE MANGA, AND FOLLOWING TRADITION WE’D LIKE TO ASK YOUR OVERALL THOUGHTS ON HIS CHARACTER NOW THAT THE JOURNEY IS OVER. FEEL FREE TO COME BACK TO THIS ONE LATER. 9,097 Responses
Allowing a write in for the newly deceased character has become a tradition on the poll this arc and we wanted to include Eren in that. The results filled 510 pages (again, basically a novel). In the meantime, here is a sample:
a near perfect character until episode 138. his sudden (in my opinion) feelings for mikasa made the character substantially worse. but still an excellent character and villain"
Protagonist, antagonist, hero, villain" — I think he is all of the above. Deeply flawed in his twisted desire for 'freedom', selfish and ultimately torn apart by the fate he is dealt. Were his actions the consequence of nature, nurture? As with most things, it was both in my opinion.
Eren character is complex and I loved it
He kills 80 percent of population because he want mikasa for himself like wtf 😒
Isayama turned Eren into a clown in just one shot, good job
... while he did see the future, he also saw that it was his will at that caused it at the same time. He only did what he did because of the vision he saw. I think that IF there was a timeline where Eren didn't inherit the Founder Titan, he and the Attack Titan would've destroyed the world anyways. He saw hell, and still would walked right into it.
"I just keeping forward until mikasa kills me"
Another interesting point is that Eren in many parts of the plot has always put the safety of his friends first, even in the face of his desire for freedom, wishing they had a long life. In the end, this characteristic of the character was obeyed, when finally his true intentions were revealed. That's why I think Isayama created an incredible character.
Selfish. Twisted. Inconsistent. In a lot of aspects, Damnable. Filled with concepts misrepresented by his own perceptions. As all the humans are. But also capable of care about the ones he loves.
He changed a lot that I dont even know how to call him. But to give a 'type' to him, he feels 80% antagonist, 20% protogonist and this is bad. A full villian Eren that killed humanitiy for his own kind would br a better character for the sake of writing.
A tragic human turned monster. Eren Jaeger. A character that I loved for a big part of the story and only disliked after he turned into a total monster. And completely hated, the first time I saw the now-famous 'Freedom' panel. I pity him. But most of all I'm glad he died.
His character was excellently done. From start to finish. I have conflicting feelings about what he eventually became, but I can understand the reasoning and decisions he had to make. I am sad that he had to go out like he did, but I'm glad that now he's finally free. RIP to one of the best characters ever
A well-writen character from beginning to end with an astounding development and a real greek tragedy protagonist (except for the last arc, but the tragic element was still there). I honestly think that his final moments, where he states to Armin that he didn't control what he did and was a slave all along, is amazing when you think of the main theme from the story: the pursuit of freedom. In the end, Eren was never free and could not achieve his dream except by killing everybody else. In a way, he craved for death because he could only be free in death (with all the bird symbolism in the end). Isayama tells us a really depressing thing about humanity with the character of Eren : even after all he did and the fact that he was a sort of Chosen One, he couldn't defeat his status of human, because he was born in this world, condemned to seek freedom while never being able to achieve it. I think the character of Eren wasn't destroyed in the last chapter, even with the cringe Mikasa part, because it remind us that he is still a young human, depressed because he is gonna die knowing that he could not achieve his goal of freedom without killing everyone else, including his family, and had to die to save them. The ending seems weak because there is still a sense of hope while Eren died destroying the world and showing that there was no hope of freedom because humans would never stop to fight each other; but the character of Eren is a masterpiece in himself, it's everything else that destroyed the last chapter.
As I've always said, Eren is a fucking fantastic main character, even if 139 didn't do him justice.
As much as it pains me to say this, there's no other way to slice it: Eren, one of my favorite characters, is now completely irredeemable in my eyes. He went from someone who was committed to killing his own humanity and destroying the entire world to give his island and his friends a guaranteed future, to someone who did everything, even going as far as destroying 80% of humanity and killing his own mother, for a reason so flimsy that he no longer even remembers it or cares about it. He killed billions and let his mother, the woman who'd loved and supported him above all else, get eaten for...what, exactly? To force Paradis to fight an unwinnable war? To let Armin live like a messiah, as the rest of his race dies a fiery death? I always thought he had a future in mind, or at least some sort of plan that was guaranteed to work. To find out that there was no such thing to begin with was like a slap in the face. Also, why 80%? Did his humanity suddenly come back after he flattened most of his species? Was it to give Isayama the perfect sequel bait? Does he just really like the number 80? In the 'wise' words of Eren, "Only the founder Ymir may know..."
Sure, like most i REALLY would have loved seeing him Rumble the whole Word inte pieces and only then creating a peaceful world. But since his priority always has been two things: Freedom & Friends, i do really feel like he was acting towards the best possible scenario for everyone. I liked Eren before this chapter, but now i love him! God bless Yams for making Eren Yeager.
I wanted Eren to taste the freedom I wish he was alive .... And spend the rest of his life alone in an inhabited Island with mikasa and his kids !!! He deserved that despite him holding the guilt of Genocide !!!!
Eren after seasons 3 was one of my favorite protagonist in all of anime. To see his growth through out the seasons, from being irrational, hotheaded and optimistic; to seeing a man slowly becoming more depressed, strategic, and cruel was amazing. Such a simple anime trope was turned into one of anime’s most developed main characters.  However to see eren regress back into his previous ways in last chapter made me feel as though all of his development was worthless.
His character was concluded beautifully. While I don’t support the rumbling, I do agree that what he did was for the best. Eldians and Marleyans would still be clashing and there would be no chance for peace if the titan powers still existed. I knew all along that he cared for his friends and comrades deeply so it really was no surprise to me that he went to such lengths for them. Also, his little breakdown in PATHS with Armin was 100% necessary. He is human. He has feelings. And that is completely valid. He had been under a burden for so long and had been keeping EVERYTHING to himself—he needed some release. Not to mention, him being in love with someone he couldn’t even mention to is heartbreaking. Of course he would cry like he did. I love Eren and his character all the way through. 10/10 !!
Isayama assassinated this man. I understand that he was “always that scared kid”, but most of the reason i loved Eren as a character was the absolute Chaddery from ch 91 onwards, which turned out to be a complete facade. RIP Eren twice
His character was great but idk who that guy in this chapter was.
Up until the last chapter, hands down my favorite character from any manga I've read/anime I've watched. Yams, or the editors, did him very dirty. I've injected tons of acceptium since the 8th, but I still can't believe that this is how his story concludes. :(
I’m sad isayama bring eren back he’s too sexy to die
  WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING DEBUNKED THEORIES ARE YOU MOST DISAPPOINTED DIDN'T HAPPEN? 15,750 Responses
Tumblr media
 Maybe an inevitable result of the manga’s publishing timeline is that there were countless theories about the beginning of the story, the end, and everything in between. An inevitable result of that is that many or most theories wound up being debunked by the canon. In the lead by a slight margin, 28.4% of the 15,750 respondents said that they were most disappointed that Historia did not play a significant role in the ending. The second place result was voters who didn’t hold any of the listed theories to begin with. Beyond that, the time loop ending, ANR, and Ymir being reborn as Historia’s child were nearly tied, not even an entire percentage point separating all three. Reiner being the modern Helos received 5.2% of the vote, and the “Other” option had 3.8%.
Popular write ins for this question were "All of the Above", and the great Madagascar theory.
Bird didn't kill the worm
I wanted eren killing everyone but for his friends
isayama really did reiner's character dirty in the last chapter
Armin being related to Tybur family.
Armin inheriting the founding Titan and speaking through Uri to Kenny talking about how the world was gonna end
Hange resurrection 😔
Hange surviving (memory shard that wasn't explained)
High School AU was real and AoT was all just a dream/ alternative world wished into existence by Eren and made by god Ymir.
It’s not that I didn’t participate in any of these theories, its just that i’m not disappointed they didn’t happen—I think the ending we got to was fitting for AoT.
Historia being important is my answer but I wanted to add additional thoughts. Why was there no payoff for the baby considering how interweaved Historia giving birth was to the climax? If you're going to sideline her, be honest about it, don't do it to manipulate your readers and have it have more build-up than some reveals this chapter. I mean, seriously, not even a name for the baby? Not even a panel to stamp the significance? What's the point?
Historia carrying Eren's baby. Might've been 'predictable' but I wanted her pregnancy to be more significant than just to buy time.
Historian faking a pregnancy for super secret plan
I just wished for a way darker ending
I love that Reiner survived, but he didn't do anything. I didn't even think he would be Helos, I thought he would be important for... anything? Good thing he's not suicidal anymore so he can be cringe comedy relief.
All of these theories were ridiculous. If I had to pick the worst, I would say AnR.
AnR  was preferable but I really feel like it could  have ended any of these other ways and still have been better than what we were delivered.  
ANR theory but don't kid yourself. It's not for his "Cute waifu" He was supposed to be an expecting father who would go through hell to protect his child -- to reinforce the theme of family, not burdening the next generation, and allowing kids to be born in a world where they are free...
AnR theory is NOT Eren killing everyone "for his wife and child". The main focus of the theory was all of Eren's friends dying, and the ending being him destroyed by grief for them. Framing it as him doing it for Historia is absurd, Eren being the father was not even remotely an important part of AnR.
Jean getting with Mikasa
Jean seeing ghost!Marco
Anything that didn't include pAtHs and time bullshit. Those two things are abominations writing-wise, and are basically the author's way of saying "idk lmao"
Both Reiner being Helos AND Ymir being reborn as Historia's child. Not even a complete reincarnation, just a namesake referring to Ymir the Jaws Titan.
Ackerman clan hello?
Kenny Ackerman coming back to stop the war
Kenny and Uri's 'miracle' being key.
King Fritz and The Wall Titans
Kruger and Xavier being homies, Eren eating WHT to influence tybur family like he did grisha
Lack of explanation for Hallu-chan and its connection to paths.
I'm disappointed Ymir wasn't reborn, but i didn't want want Eren to be the father
after 138 i thought ymir was going to resurrect eren, because you  know mikasa kissed him and he loved her and he would stop everything for her, so i was hoping this, eren alive and no more giants, just ymir going away or doing good things with her powers.
Alternate universe ending into the HS AU.
BOTH TIMELOOP AND HISTORIA BEING IMPORTANT DAMN. I HAD HOPES.
Eren being a badass
Attack On Titan being the prequel to Madagascar
  IN THE END, WHOSE PLAN DO YOU MOST AGREE WITH TO TACKLE THE CONFLICT WITH ELDIANS AND THE WORLD?
Tumblr media
Interestingly, despite ranking the lowest or nearly the lowest in strategic and narrative value, Hange and the Survey Corps’ diplomacy plan ranked highest in the moral value chart by a lot. As in it’s literally off the chart. Its position is only even remotely challenged by Zeke’s euthenasia plan, with Kiyomi’s 50 year plan, the Jaegerists’ Rumbling plan, Eren’s 80% plan, and Willy and Magath’s plan to scapegoat Paradis all left in the dust.
Through the lens of strategy, however, things are a little closer. A plurality of respondents thought that the Rumbling plan was the best, with Zeke’s Eldian euthanization plan a fairly close second here. Not too far behind was Kiyomi’s 50 year plan, followed by Eren’s plan, the diplomacy plan, and the scapegoat plan.
Lastly, in terms of story narrative, there’s a Colossal Titan fight between total and 80% Rumbling, with diplomacy, euthenasia, scapegoat, and 50 years not even standing a chance. In fact, I did the math, and the last four plans received only just over half of the votes that the lesser of the two most voted plans received.
This was a VERY information-dense question to break down, and a phenomenally interesting one at that.
I don't think that eren only planned to kill 80% of the population, he would have killed everyone if he wasn't stopped in time.
Not thoughts on the chapter but to whoever created this survey, there was a page in ch139 where Eren explained that he really was willing to do full rumbling, so it was not just 80%. It was the page where the aftermath of the rumbling was shown as a wide panel. He said there that even if he did not know or did not see that the Alliance was going to stop him, he was going to fully destroy the world. And that is to end the cycle of hatred ofc. But, Eren wasn't able to do full rumbling since he was bound by his fate.
I thought Eren killing 80% of the world WAS best for the story, but not because of some convoluted plan to help Paradis but also be stopped but also Eren wanted wipe away the outside world but wah he was forced to become a devil. There's a fine line between a believably conflicted character and a total mess. Eren is a mess.
the fact that Eren saw everything makes the ending more stupid. I was expecting and kinda hoping for this final scenario where neither the alliance nor Eren fulfill their goals and only psrt of humanity is exrincted. But that shoyld be a nstural conclusion to their fight. Not a plan, that makes no sense lol
Isayama used the wrong character inspiration from Code Geass. He should have picked Schneizel's plan instead of Lelouch's. It was basically a plan to use the threat of extreme violence to maintain peace through terror and fear. A massive dictatorship that would lead to humanity stagmenting. Eren should have used the Rumbling to make all the other countries surrender their technology to Eldia. Killing 80% of the population is just way too much and create so many problems. He could have made an example out of Marley, but going beyond would make Eldians hated forever. ""The Alliance"" would still have motivation to kill Eren because he was taking away the freedom and stopping the advancement of other humans. The last twenty chapters played up the Marleyans, Eldian Warriors and Eldians working towards the complete goal of defeating Eren, so it would have checked out.
This single handedly fucks up the last 50 chapters post time-skip, Isayama said he wants to hurt the reader but in the end we got a (lets be realistic here) peace ending and everyone outside of a select few who care dearly about the story are lapping it up. AnR ending was the consistent and correct ending, that's not my opinion it's a fact as it would be pretty much entirely consistent with the Eren we were given up to 139 and it would hurt far more people and be remembered for decades to come. Those who try and rationalize the chapter are the true last copers because those who wanted AnR would have rightly dropped this.
I need to point out that the true best plan would have involved both the Scout’s Diplomacy Plan (by reaching out to Marley, since they were Paradis’ primary and frankly, in-story, only threat) and Willy’s scapegoating plan (by clearing the Paradis’ people’s names and making Eren public enemy number 1). In fact, even without the Scouts ever speaking to him, Willy still made clear that the “problem” wasn’t Eldians or the Paradis people but Eren himself, as a Founder holder without Royal Blood. And how true that turned out to be… I also don’t think I need to justify why one person dying would be better than 80% of the world doing so.
  FANS SEEM DIVIDED OVER EREN’S PORTRAYAL IN THIS CHAPTER. WHAT BEST MATCHES YOUR FEELINGS? 15,771 Responses
Tumblr media
A plurality of the nearly 16,000 responses, at 41%, said that the Eren in this chapter is nothing like the Eren we knew. 31.6% said he’s perfectly in keeping with what we knew of him, and 27.4% said it wasn’t the best, but that it’s not as bad as some say. All things considered, this is a fairly evenly divided outcome, much like the divided ratings for the chapter overall.
I can’t stress enough how off it felt due to it making Eren’s character less compelling.
I had so many questions about the plot but they were either straight up ignored or the answer was simply 'only Ymir knows'. I'm not a so called 'Yeargerist' but I didn't like how Isayama did a complete 180 of eren's characterization.
it gave me a Weird Troll Love sorytype trash explanations. It ruined EM(EreMika) for me which I wanted and prayed to be cannon with convincing stuff..
Eren was in character, despite what people with a lack of reading comprehension believe.
Eren was Perfect and his character is not ruined like most people said, he was just misunderstood by those who say those things I think, and those who thought he was not gonna die are delusional
It Ruined Eren's character,turning him from Goated Crown to Worse clown. Ruined the purpose/reason of the story by giving us the worse twist about Carla's death and about Ymir staying in path for 2000 years.. We thought Eren's pov will save the ending and whole Aot story,instead it(POV) Ruined it..
Eren's breakdown is super fucking relatable. Dude knows what's right, and is doing a fuck ton for it, but deep down he feels that way, and that setting with his best friend is the only time it transpired.
Eren's breakdown, in front of such an overwhelming power and destiny, is tragically incredible
Eren's goal didn't make that much sense
I love how Eren has always had this selfish side of him with his fantasy of running away with Mikasa and telling Armin that he hoped she never got with anybody haha.
Although i think that this chapter is awful i wouldve liked it if they changed the whole eren breakdown scene about him not actually having freedom, him hating his action, and him killing?? His mother. Him suddenly breaking down because of Mikasa dating another guy is really weird.
It's kinda confusing to understand Eren's main objective. He said many things, including a plan of making his friends heros, and Armin even question if going that far as really necessary and if Eren indeed was doing everything for them. Eren doesn't answer. Then he says he didn't know if his actions would end up killing his friends or even give a good future to the island, since he started a internal conflict, but he kept moving forward, because he knew that at least the titan curse would be broken. And in the end he admits he would do it even without knowing the future, implying his first motivation is to destroy the world. But there's too much information and details, so readers can choose whatever part to defend what they think it was his main motivation. I know that he could have many motives, but chapters 131, 90 and other chapters implied so much that his main goal was to destroy the whole world that the crackhead Lelouch plan kinda cought me by surprise. Or did Eren only come up with that plan because he knew he would succeed anyway even if his true desire was to destroy the whole world? Anyway, I really wanted Isayama to be more clear about Eren.
It seems to me that Eren only did that because he was about to die, and that it wouldn’t hurt to pour out all his pent up emotions for once. Additionally, this can also be attributed to Eren not actually reflecting anything that would imply such strong feelings towards Mikasa, especially in later chapters, which is what some say is bad writing (due to Eren’s “unexpected” confession in 139.) In fact, I feel that it’s actually more natural for Eren to have an emotional outburst such as this after so long of not being able to tell those he holds dearest to him anything at all, even pushing them away. And now, since he’s going to erase their memories of the encounter (until he dies, at least), he has no reason to withhold any of his feelings either. tl;dr I feel that Eren’s confession in 139 is actually more in-character than what some give it credit for, and that this is in fact the Eren that we have known all along. With this final confession, Eren is truly free.
The ending of ""Eren has been stopped, but Paradis and the world will still collide, the cycle of hate has not been broken BUT there's a chance for peace"" is an ok ending. Not the one I'd want, but it's acceptable.
However, as a chapter its trash. It completely destroys Eren's character. This was not my Eren. My Eren wouldnt just accept his fate. Its shown throughout that even at moments of certain death he simply doesn't give up. Even in the first arc when he's being digested he still won't stop fighting. Also, I was never one for ship wars but the way that Yams set up EH means that it simply wouldn't make sense any other way.
Eren's motive is probably the downfall of this chapter, not only that but the wording was... um... not good.
  WHAT DID EREN MEAN WHEN HE SAID HE DOESN’T KNOW WHY HE DID THE RUMBLING? 15,432 Responses
Tumblr media
When the fandom is divided on what the main character’s motivation was driven by, is it bad writing or purposefully leaving it open to interpretation? Regardless, the fandom is in fact split on what Eren meant here. 38.5% think he gave in to the fate he saw, while 28.6% got the exact opposite impression, that he doesn’t know why he has the will/drive for freedom he does. 21.9% didn’t come down on either side, but view Eren as an agent of chaos who just does things. The most popular write in was “Only Ymir knows.”
Only Ymir knows
I believe he was just saying: "idk but even if I’m doing this for yours, if that weren’t the case, I would still really want to carry out this disaster, 'cause it’s my wish beyond your salvation.
He means that he doesn't know why he felt so obsessed with being free, and why he was so deeply disappointed in discovering that humans exist outside the walls.
He's just a dumbass kid trying to help his friends without recognizing the repercussions  
He's just as confused as us about the whims of Isayama.
nah wtf was that 11 years for that answer lmfao im dead
Nervous breakdown I guess. Can't handle the fact he failed at all his goals despite giving up his humanity. Making excuses, waxing poetic, etc to cope.
isayama kinda didnt know how to justify rumbling
Isayama forgot
Eren has always wanted to be free and fight, he could have just said he did it for his friends and family.
Eren has no free will, everything he did was predetermined
Eren is a man defined by outrage and violence.
Eren only planning to kill 80% big no no, Armin could have said that by stopping him it could save peace with the survivors and be seen as a hero, but Eren planning that is BS
Eren is and has always been someone who will seek freedom at any cost, even when he knows morally its the wrong thing he will still never bend on that cause its what makes him who he is ("Eren, you are Free" panel shown next to this)
Eren is torn between determinism and his will. He is no longer sure if it was his decision ("I wanted to do that..." from 123 and 131) vs. determinism ("I had to...")
Eren just kind of forgot about his reasons for the Rumbling
Eren kinda forgot his motivations due to his off-screen "character development"
It was retconned. He says in chapter 131? "When I learned that people existed outside the walls, I was so disappointed." He wanted all of them gone because they obstructed his view of freedom -- his ability to freely explore the world and be himself "because he was born this way".
That there is no justification for what he did.
The attack titan made him do it. The deterministic universe thing would have been way cooler.
Dude was hopped up on extraordinary power and self-inflicted mommy and daddy issues by that point, I doubt he even knew what the fuck was going on in his head
Nothing but bullshit. It was clear to me that it was self defense. Reducing his motivation for the Rumbling to "it was simply fate" takes away the valid and legitimate reasons to unleash the Rumbling. Marley never wanted peace, and when an enemy is 100% determined to wipe you out, it's imperative to do what you must to survive at whatever cost necessary.
that’s a great question
yams being meta because he made eren do it wow 3 deep 5 me best manga
When becoming in contact with the paths after getting his head sliced off, he has become Mentally unstable and lost full composure and characteristics on who he once was
That he was being controlled by Ymir/Hallu
That he’s just a slave to his destiny??
There was no reason for putting this "I don't know." Just let him say "To protect you and the island", anything Isayama. Why do u want to destroy Eren so much?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
What is even free will if you literally live with memories of the past and future influencing what you do? I’m sure he tried his best, knowing him.
I don’t think this is a worthy line of questioning. Seeing as Eren’s new lines contradict some of his older lines quite heavily, I don’t think we can deduce his reasoning at all. This is a big reason why this ending disappointed me.
It was the instinctual drive of moving forward, the rumbling is the path he was on, and whether he cried and hated it, he knew he had to move forward. He didn't *want* to do it ,but he wanted to move forward to the future he strove for, and the rumbling was that path.
All I wanted was some Good Logical Convincing explanations of why Eren did all those demonic things,killing 80% ppl..
My head canon is Grisha repeating to Eren throughout his babyhood that's he's free and a little bit of the Attack Titan influencing Eren (and other attack Titan holders) through paths.
Well, the ending seemed very rushed. That's the easiest explanation.
what in the name of sanity was this panel for
  DOES ARMIN REALLY SUPPORT EREN BEING A MASS MURDERER? 15,720 Responses
Tumblr media
Despite one of the biggest chapter complaints being Armin’s/Isayama’s handling of the extent to which Eren’s actions were justified. Only 12.8% take Armin’s words at face value. The plurality of fans though at 43.2% note that the wording is unforgivably horrible no matter what he meant by it; and 40.2% read it as Armin giving his friend peace despite his error.
I think Armin was able to see some reasoning behind Eren's behaviour, but worded it... So, so, so poorly.
You might have killed millions of people, but at the very least, you made me happy
I think he meant it because of how earnest he looks, but I hope it's just him trying to make Eren feel better
Reading the panels back as I fill this out and I still can't believe that half of them are real.
"That's something only the founder Ymir would know"
Armin is grateful for Eren's extreme conviction to his friends even though he disagrees with the means
ARMIN IS JUST ANOTHER BRAINDEAD INCOHERENT PIECE OF SHIT, FUCK
Armin is just relieved that eren did care about them after all. He doesnt support the rumbling and there’s where the error part comes in.
Armin is pretty manipulative. And also if there is one flaw in this character that has been consistent through the whole series is that he idolizes Eren too much to the point of clouding his judgement and actions. A better wording would have been "Thank you for becoming a demon for our sake".
I can't believe how clumsily this was done. It so baffling. It makes me hate Armin ffs.
I can't stop laughing. I hate this chapter.
I can’t even try to justify his thought, it totally contradicts how we see armin
Yes, he straight up said it. However, he's nothing like the Armin we knew.
I don't care. I am against the alliance from the beginning. Didn't see why Armin was so against genocide when he knew peace was not possible. Armin was never an emotional person.
I wish Armin called Eren a devil instead of a mass murderer; it makes more sense as it would be a call back to Erwin becoming a ‘devil.’ I also wish the rumbling succeeded instead of leaving 20% of the world alive because it would be a more bittersweet ending to see Paradis turn on itself (because war is inevitable).
I hated what Armin said, I hope he was lying.
I feel like this scene is parallel to the exact scene with Yelena and Armin. But this time he meant it?
I guess,yes. He realised that it was was necessary.
I think it's a coping mechanism.
The ends justify the means.
The english translation suck and it's the official. In reality, the japanese version touches the note of Eren doing something unforgivable and it won't be forgotten.
I think it’s more complicated than that. I think Armin finds these actions reprehensible and irredeemable. Yet he also recognizes the logic motivating Eren. Towards the end of the series we see Armin struggle deeply with the inevitability of their violent and extreme final clash with the world and how diametrically opposed it is to his entire core moral. Armin does not believe in stopping to the efforts of lesser beings. Of cruel oppressors. And yet. It’s hard to argue that any other course of action would have allowed the long lasting of the people of Eldia.
I think it’s more of Armin finally understanding how desperate Eren was to save them all and seeing what he did. Sacrificing his humanity for his friends and that touched him. He still see’s how much death and how horrible Ereh was but he also thankful that his friend is still in there somewhere.
At first, I really liked it, and overall I still do, but Armin thanking Eren for becoming a mass murderer for their sake just doesn't sit right with me. And the warrior's reactions to whatever memories got from Eren as well. It's a bit of a 'eeeeehhhhhhhh' moment for me that really could have been delivered better. Overall and mostly because of that one thing I'm really glad it's over :P
Its a very bizzare attempt to emphasize the Lelouch type characterization that Yams tried for in the end. It doesnt work.
Naruto and Obito Moment
No, but Armin was already a murder at this point too because of his Titan power. By letting Eren take the fall recognized that while, the rest of them get a chance to keep going.
I found out that all along I was just salty Armin was acting like a moralist out of nowhere. When he finally understood that Eren HAD an actual plan and he accepted his sins and internalized them instead of acting like a hypocrite, that part made me fall in love with these 2 characters and their bond all over again.
“You killed most of the world for us ;_;” doesn’t make him a better person Armin.
imagine if he had said like “i’m sorry you had to bear such a burden” instead of thank you . LIKE!!! hello
Armin was the wrong choice after all
I don't like you killing people but I live because of it so thanks I guess now fly away ya fucking bird
  WAS ISAYAMA TOO SOFT ON EREN THIS CHAPTER? 15,467 Responses
Tumblr media
Whether Eren’s actions were justifiable or not, safe to say they’ve been just a tad questionable over the course of the last couple of arcs. He DID pay the ultimate price and die, however, he is still well loved by the main cast, his homeland, and uh- he might be a bird now? 43.6% of respondents think Eren did get off pretty kindly overall, but only through some sloppy handling of key dialogue and writing. 29.8% think that Eren has been treated appropriately, as a very flawed but ultimately sympathetic character. 21% are not cool with the whole genocide thing seeming like it was justifiable at all. Finally, 5.6% thought Isayama was too harsh on poor Eren!
80% of the entire planet has been turned into a barren wasteland, but the ending of the story does not at all make the reader FEEL as though that's the case. Without that line of dialogue from Eren, there would be no way that the audience would know just how devastating this tragedy has been. Of all the people that have been done a disservice in this final chapter, it would be all of the people that were actually victimized by Eren. The killer was given infinitely more sympathy than those that were killed. This is quite ironic, seeing how Rico's final words to Eren in the Trost arc was about the importance of remembering that the people that would be dying for Eren aren't simply nameless soldiers, but humans, all with different lives and dreams that would be stuffed out in order for Eren to keep moving forward.
Having the warriors forgive eren after he destroyed their country, risked their families and killed their people is so stupid and makes zero sense at all
Too much hate for this chapter, Eren is not portrayed as a hero or whatever, he's just an immature teenager who had too much power. His breakdown over Mikasa just shows this.
The consequences of 80% of humanity being wiped out are barely explored.
Also can we add how unrealistic the post-rumbling world looks like? Eren is supposed to flatten the world, which should mess up the ecosystem and Isym made it look like only a small region was touched.
I wish Falco and Gabi were highlighted more as the heroes and generation who would no longer have to fight in 'the forest'. Sasha's family disapproving of the yeagerists was a nice touch though.
  WHEN EREN STOPPED BERTHOLDT FROM GETTING EATEN, DID HE KNOW IT WOULD RESULT IN HIS MOTHER’S DEATH? 15,546 Responses
Tumblr media
Despite the idea of causality being a bit off when paths time travel is involved, Eren definitely seems to have caused Dina to enter the walls when she did. 41.7% of respondents think he did it knowing it was what led to his mother’s death, while 23.7% felt it was just the result of his choice to save Bertolt. 34.6% read Eren as having mashed potato timey wimey paths crossed brains, so who’s to say.
I am concerned how big the Dina twist could potentially be in terms of story integrity. It feels like a Pandora's Box of plot holes.
Did he just arbitrarily change dina titans direction and it happened accidentally, was it even a conscious decision?) or eren seemingly just giving up on the philosophy he’s held to the point or being able to turn even ymir’s heart are breezed over so the whole chapter feels like it’s trying to resolve a story with a lot of variables too simply
Eren is the one who sent Dina to Carla.... I'm speechless. A stupid meme turned into reality.
Did he actually direct Dina towards Carla or did he just aimlessly directed her away from Bert? So he knew this whole time??? A plot twist that has MASSIVE FUCKING IMPLICATIONS has ONE FUCKING PANEL IN THE LAST CHAPTER!!!! LIKE WHAT THE FUCK.
Also when I read the chapter, when Eren revealed that the Dina titan was led to his mom, I thought he was insinuating that Ymir was the one who let that titan eat his mom so that he would gain the resolve to end the world and free Ymir. Similar to how Kruger let Grisha's sister get killed to light the fire in his eyes or whatever. But I can be wrong.
i think he wanted to give his younger self the most motivation he could to go forward, and for most of the beginning that was revenge for his mother, so i think that one was deliberate, plus the additional reason that he wanted armin to live (but i dont think that was the sole reason, like if he could have his mother alive and give himself that force to move forward, he would, but maybe with carla alive he wouldnt have the same drive)
  HOW PERFECT WAS LEVI’S FAREWELL TO THE SCOUTS? 15,653 Responses
Tumblr media
Ah, Levi. Precious Levi with his perfect ending. A thorough breakdown: a majority at 55.6% thought it was Perfect!!! 26.1% thought it was Perfect! 11.5%, however, considered it to be Perfect!! Of course, to show that nothing will ever please everyone we have 6.8% who thought it was Not Perfect.
Levi scene was 10/10. Nothing to say there.
I thought it was good attention to detail with Levi crying when he saluted
Would have loved for my 2 favorites to come back some how with path no jutsu, but still seeing them salute to Levi is one of the best parts in the series.
At least Levi had a perfect ending.
Levi had the best ending. The Survey Corps was the best thing about this manga. I have no more doubts about it. The veterans deserved to be the main characters. And I hate only one character, Armin. That "thank you" ruined him before my eyes forever.
I did mark ""not perfect"" for the Levi moment because I'm not a fan of random supernatural appearances, also we had the ghost survey corps like... three times in this arc? Didn't mean I didn't enjoy it
Levi has my full respect. He thanked the right person/people. He never gave up despite losing all his comrades and family, and being crippled. This is one of the right person to look up. Levi managed to survive despite losing his family and comrades, losing one of his eyesight, and crippled body. After everything that has happened, I would not be surprised that he has PTSD.
Levi is and will forever be my favorite character
I think maybe I would have liked it more if Levi had peacefully died after saluting his fallen comrades rather than seeing him stuck on a wheelchair for the rest of his life... Idk, it just feels really sad to see him like this now :/
This chapter was amazing and I love what they did with Levi.  I've been wanting him to get some sort of emotional moment especially since his emotions are pretty stale through out the series.
The scene where Levi saluted his fallen comrades was perfect, there absolutely no changes I would have made to it.
I’m just happy Levi finally found peace. Seeing him being pushed in the wheelchair by gabi and falco really made me cry happy tears
  WHICH WAS YOUR FAVORITE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE AMBASSADORS FOR PEACE? 15,611 Responses
Tumblr media
Isayama’s humor-laden focus on the “Ambassadors for Peace” was another hit or miss moment for many readers. While “Reiner and Jean bantering about horses and suicide” received the most votes (21.5%), it was less than two percentage points above “I disliked all of it” (19.7%).  “Reiner sniffing the letter” (11.9%), “Pieck calling out Jean on his hair” (10.9%), and “Jean trying to look good for his photo op” (10.8%) distantly follow.
Fingerstein is back on the possible menù, boys.
I would have liked to know a little more about how the political control of Paradis ended after the battle and how the ambassadors were able to coexist after becoming friends again due to the different deaths that the past entailed
i loved the fact jean was ok and we got to see him and reiner call eren the suicidal blockhead like the beginning of the series.
everyone and Reiner being all buddy buddy in the end feels a bit unrealistic and cartoonish to me.
The warriors should never have been forgiven
There being a horse joke about Jean in the last chapter made me wonder if there would've also been a potato joke had Sasha made it 'till the end.
FingerStein shall never sink and I will keep preaching this till my last breath
It's sad to see Warriors, especially Reiner and Pieck becoming Eremong bootlickers. The characters of the Warriors, and especially Reiner, has been degrading since the beginning of the final arc. And this chapter was the final straw... I'm no longer a Warrior stan.
Beyond Reiner, I'm very dissapointed in how poorly all the side character arcs were wrapped up. Connie is reduced to a sniveling mama's boy, Jean is a pedo, Pieck has no dialogue, and Reiner... yeah. The world is screwed, but we don't know anything about it because Isayama didn't build it out.
I’d like a sequel spin-off from the perspectives of the Ambassadors
  HAVE THE ALLIANCE BEEN TO PARADIS SINCE THE TIMESKIP, OR IS THIS THEIR FIRST TIME BACK SINCE THE BATTLE OF HEAVEN AND EARTH? 15,154 Responses
Tumblr media
Some time has passed from where the chapter starts to where the chapter ends. What has the alliance been up to during that time? 42.5% of respondents think they’ve been on the continental mainland since The Battle of Heaven and Earth. 35.4% think they’ve been back to Paradis in a personal capacity, but this is their first time back, together, on official business. Lastly, 22.1% think they may have been back in secret previously.
Typing this write up though, it makes me wonder what all three kinds of voters think Mikasa has been up to.
I would have really liked to see what Mikasa was doing aka what her role is now (I mean outside of Eren, she is allowed to grieve but it would've been nice for her to mention what she's doing on Paradis and matters she's involved with)
I really wished Mikasa’s royal position in the Hizuru’s could have played a mayor role
I don’t think she waits next to Eren everyday, this is just the ambassadors coming back.
i do not believed she moved on, because they could've easily written for her to bury eren's ashes when she comes home with the alliance. instead she stayed alone for three fuckign years.
It's clear that she's only at the hill because the Alliance is coming to visit, she's not just there mourning Eren 24/7, but having her imply what steps she'll take next (possibly Alliance or Hizuru based?) would've avoided the idea that she's just depressed and obsessed about Eren and nothing else
I like that she still is thinking about him, it is normal in the circumstances of visiting the alliance
Hopefully if the anime adds more we can see her and hisu reunite with the alliance
She should’ve left Paradis and gone to Hizuru. Sort of like how Frodo leaves The Shire because and Middle Earth because it’s not the same anymore, Mikasa should’ve left Paradis for Hizuru because without Eren and with all that trauma, it’s not her home anymore
With her connection to Hizuru and the huge role she played in the ending it would've been the perfect time to have her character go through some development for the audience to see, like have her properly express her true thoughts and emotions, or see her accept her role in the Azumabito clan. It feels like wasted opportunity.
Armin and the others should have been the Survey Corps of the world, exploring the world and try to understand it!
was hoping levi joined the ambassador of peace group since he's always been there as one of the main characters
I love how they just casually brushed through Paradis becoming a Fascist state. I mean I get why they’d turn to military power after what happened, but I found it really, really weird how no one commented on that.
I love how Isayama shows that there are people on Paradis who will most likely support the ambassadors. First, there's Hitch. We know she sympathizes with Annie. Furthermore, I don't think she supports the Yeagerists. She only cheered for them in that one panel out of formality since she's a senior MP officer. Second, there's the Blouse family. They will support the Alliance since they are Sasha's comrades, and they are smart enough not to give in to the Yeagerist ideology. Third, there's Flegel and the two journalists, Roy and Peaure. Hange had a great influence on them, so they might as well listen to their subordinates' perspectives. Lastly, there's Surma and his comrades. They were the ones who beat up Shadis and treated his wounds afterwards. Shadis did tell them to support the Yeagerists, but not to the extent of losing themselves. I like to think that they remain open-minded because of that.
  WHAT DID YOU THINK OF REINER SNIFFING THE LETTER? 15,564 Responses
Tumblr media
In a chapter full of fandom-combusting moments, Reiner huffing the ink fumes of Historia’s handwriting was a small but potent one. The graph speaks for itself. Imagine reading the Marley arc and knowing this is where it all ends. This your Helos?
Reiner is a good boy
A lot of shit was out of the blue and completely unnecessary, sniffing handwriting was the worst thing to happen to Reiner
I hope Reiner was just joking with the letter sniffing, it would be a waste of his character arc if not.
how fuck is Reiner sniffing a letter undo his entire character? What? I'm sorry, I didn't know his character arc was going from Horny 17 year old to not horny 21 year old. Yeah, him being horny as a 24 year old ruined his progression! Keep dooming yeagercucks.
I cried like 7 times cuz of Reiner he's finally happy he dosen't have to be someone he isn't anymore.
Reiner sniffing Historia's declaration of war on the world like a complete weirdo is cringe as fuck, but considering his previous actions this chapter it's expected.
Reiner is allowed to have fun and be goofy
Reiner should have been shown finally appreciating life
I'm happy with the ending, Reiner sniffing the letter is one of the best scenes of all aot and i hope the others can see this manga in a cool way again
I don't think people need to read into Reiner sniffing that letter so much. Yes it's creepy, but the time skip is more of an epilogue than anything. I would have rather had Reiner die too but it's just a dumb bit at the end. It's not character ruining lol
Reiner should sniff historia but in real life
Reiner sniffing letters is the smallest part of the problems. The fact that he teared up and was moved by Ereh... The guy who only postponed his best friend's death to be a revival token and power up for the Mong (which is worse than if Bertholdt was eaten by Dina), and basically used him as a tool…
Bruh where's reiners character arc ending
  DID ELLEN BECOME DOVE? (CRYING) 15,476 Responses
Tumblr media
The debate over Eren’s bird status is one we’ve enjoyed. Birds in the manga have been behaving suspiciously for a long time and we’ve asked in other polls what people think about that. Despite evidence to the contrary “A birb is just a birb” is the answer that a third of the fandom stubbornly cling to, because yes, birds regularly approach humans to fix their scarves *rolls eyes*. However, the other answers when combined indicate that more than 70% of us do believe Eren is the birds (24.4%), has controlled the birds (22.7%), or was reincarnated as the bird in the final pages (20.4%). Bird theory for the win!
The dove can go fuck off
Eren becoming a bird does have meaning, birds have always been symbolic of freedom since the beginning. Eren may be dead but he's free, that's what it means.
I want to become dove(crying) and fly away from this mess.
why is ereh a bird
People need to look at subtext and not take everything in the most literal way possible. Eren isn't actually a fucking bird, it's just rather on-the-nose symbolism implying he's watching over her, and may have found freedom, because birds and flying imagery are often associated with being free. He wasn't actually reincarnated.
I don't understand the whole bird thing. Like I really don't want to believe eren became dove(crying)
Eren is not a fucking bird jesus christ
Can't believe eren actually turned into a bird
Eren doesn't deserve a bird reincarnation what the fuck.
As dumb as it was, the fucking dove meme ending made me the happiest I've been in months. I can't hate the ending or the franchise for making me smile in the end.
  ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH THE ENDING MIKASA RECEIVED? 15,587 Responses
Tumblr media
Only 12% of respondents think Mikasa’s ending was perfect; the rest of the fandom were left wanting. The most common wish was that she was shown doing anything other than thinking about Eren (39.9%), followed by those who described themselves as “content as can be given the circumstance of the story” (31.6%).  
The choices we provided didn’t come close to capturing everyone’s thoughts. Eight percent selected “other”, more than those who selected “I have no opinion”, and roughly 40 of you simply wrote the word “no”.
Trade offer! Everyone receives: living out the rest of their lives relatively happy; Mikasa receives: feeding birdren
I cried myself silly, ngl. It was very emotional for me because in the midst of her grief, she still found beauty. If only other people could be more accepting of her as well. The amount of hate she's received for so many years is just nauseating and way out of line.
i wish she could have left the scarf at his grave showing she was going to move on and thanking him for all the years he wrapped her scarf, the bird was so cheesy
Mikasa was always very important to the plot, by being a very strong, prideful, loyal to herself and to those she loves. She was always essential, and I truly think that she deserved a happier ending after enduring all she endured and sacrificed. The last panel was beautiful, because somehow Eren fulfilled the promise, but very tragic and sad. I hoped to see her happier, she deserved that. I also wished to see more about the Hizuru plot, it would be very interesting. I love Mikasa and she is definitely one of my favorite characters.
If the bird had taken the scarf away from her, I'd be more content.
I feel incredibly sad for Mikasa. I hope that what we’ve seen of her in the ending is one of occasional visits to Eren’s resting place and I head canon that she spends the rest of her time traveling with her friends and maybe building connections with Hizuru too. Girl deserves a lot better.
Give the girl a personality not based on Eren already, we were so fucking close too, damnit
I am baffled at the message being sent here as to why Mikasa is still in love after mass genocide, not phased at all. At least show her show some anger or mixed feelings towards Eren.
A WOMAN BEING SUBMISSIVE TO A MAN, EVEN AFTER THE MAN'S DEATH. SO JAPANESE.
Mikasa didn't deserve that kind of ending. The war may have been over but at what cost? Mikasa only cared about eren from the very beginning. She did all to protect him from danger so that one day she'll finally be able to be with him after all this ends. But what she wanted the most couldn't happen. She was left all alone. It is very heart breaking to see mikasa like that, And I'm saying this when I am not even a mikasa fan
Although I'm satisfied with her character overall, I kinda wish she said something other than her wanting to meet Eren again. I get that she misses him and was mourning for him on his death anniversary, but I wish we got something more with her to properly complete her character.
As someone who didn’t like Eremika at all (AT ALL) and thought Mikasa was one of the worst characters in aot, the more I think about it the more their secret, and impossible love makes sense and is tragic. I don’t love it, but it’s definitely not as bad as I originally thought (and many people think)
Im very happy with her ending, she got a peaceful relaxed life she had always wanted although I wish she was spending it with Eren.
i do a little bit wish mikasa was shown as how killing eren made her stronger but i do understand how it’s not easy for her to just become stronger after killing the one she loved most since she was 8
Garbage. Validated the Ackerslave meme 100%. The fact that her "choice" didn't actually result in her freeing herself from Eren and the fact that this is supposed to be seen as ROMANTIC shows that any semblance of an actual story arc never existed. Pandering to shippers is the death knell of creativity.
I don't know how to feel but I love her either way
I think it was perfect, save that I think she ought to have found another guy. She deserves to move on romantically, without it being seen as a betrayal of her feelings for Eren. I think it fits thematically with her character arc as well. Otherwise, I love what was included.
I think its misogynistic but thats just me. I very much dislike eremika tho and I didn’t like how Isa framed it as a cute noble thing that she has to be tied to Eren forever.
I WANT TO SEE HER HAPPY MAN, ALL SHE'S KNOWN IS A LIFE OF BLOOD WHEN ALL SHE'S EVER WANTED WAS QUIET PEACE. ISAYAMA WHY DID YOU PUNISH MIKASA LIKE THIS? it's cruel, and beautiful, but I just want to see this warrior smile with reason, and someone who loves her.
Under the circumstances, it makes sense 100% sense that she was crying over Eren (1. it was his death anniversary, 2. she cared deeply for him), but just because she was crying and said that she missed him DOES NOT mean she will never move on or that she had a sad or “tragic” ending. I think her character was concluded well.
MIKASA DID YOU 3DMG YOUR WAY BACK TO SHIGANSHINA? DID YOU SWIM PASS THE UMI DA?
Such as sad ending for a heroine. She deserves to live with Eren.
0/10 did not fuck the bird
138 ending where she was done with eren was a good way to end her story with eren, that part was predestined from ch 1 as well, or at least was referenced to then. But what followed after felt like killing of her character
I fully understand while she’s there, grief is a long and complex road... but I still wish isayama had taken the time to show that she now has a life of her own. Maybe show her with the others, advocating for peace. Hell, show her tending to her garden idk.
Her ending was a complete tragedy just as erens's but i loved it
Eren did not say that he loved her, just that he wanted her to love him forever. Abusive AF! And there she is, still a slave to him. This is SO fucking bad
Bird should have taken away the scarf, symbolising her to move on with her life
Holy fucking shit, is what she got for ending
How can I be satisfied when one of my favourite characters lost love of her life? :C
The best girl has the worst ending :(((
  THERE’VE BEEN COMPLAINTS ABOUT MANY OF THE VARIOUS STORY ELEMENTS. IF YOU HAVE AN OPINION - POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE, WE’D LIKE TO KNOW. IF YOU ARE NEUTRAL, PLEASE SKIP THAT ITEM.
Tumblr media
The most liked moments of these fandom-splitting narrative choices were: The conflict between Paradis and the rest of the world being left ambiguous, The final scene being Mikasa still thinking about Eren, and in a squeaker, The titanizations form the last chapter being undone. In fact, these were the only moments voted more liked than disliked…
The most disliked moments were: Ymir’s motivation being love for Karl Fritz, Mikasa’s connection to Hizuru not really amounting to anything, and Armin thanking Eren for becoming a mass murderer for their sakes.
While almost all story elements received a majority dislike response, please note that the purpose of the question was to look at the differences in opinion between elements that were already observed to be controversial, rather than to see which aspects of the chapter were received positively and negatively.

Full of problems, but I could have overlooked some if the setup for these events was good. Sadly, it wasn't.
Isayama was well known for his insanely good use of foreshadowing, and I feel like a lot of the new info we learned in the last chapter wasn't foreshadowed at all (or at least not done well). Additionally, it felt rushed. I don't think revealing all new info for the last chapter is a good idea, should have been another chapter or two longer.
Introducing the idea that Past/Present and Future exist at the same time adds way to many plot Holes. Eren being able to control mindless Titans makes the death of every cadet feel Crqp since he could have straight up commanded every Titan to not attack the walls...honestly it was just awful.
Historia Had the worst subplot  in the entire series
There was no reason to include eren killing his mom
About Ymir's love, when reading it I didn't mind it as much because I rationalized it as just another way to explain Ymir's previous behaviour. But the more I think of it the more fucked up it is
The thing that the war hasn't ended is wonderful, it shows how human will never change.
The sheer amount of people talking about Stockholm syndrome as though it is a good plot point this late in the game, effectively turning 122 into a love story, is disheartening.
With better wording and with reveals such as "Eren having anything to do with his mothers death" or "Ymir loved Fritz" being removed it would be much better ending, they served no good purpose and only degraded the whole story. If this was the case I would probably rate it higher.
Funniest shit I've read in a while. Ymir loving Fritz was absolutely hilarious.
I disliked EVERY aspect of it. wow. didn't realised it until this poll. nice to know.
Honestly, I really don't get it. It's beyond me how the final arc became like this. How could Isayama have written the Warriors the way he did, time and time again painting them as the victims of their awful circumstances yet never shedding their responsibility for their terrible actions, and always moving forward, trying to do the best they can. The complete foils to the 104th who time and time again threw away their humanity for the sake of Paradis, while the Warriors couldn't throw away theirs, no matter how much they tried. That was why Annie was caught, why Bertholdt died, why Porco sacrificed himself, the reason behind Reiner's complete mental breakdown. And in the end, the very final arc, all they were was props to help the 104th stop the rumbling, and then they finally settled into their role as simps for the 104th. Without any thought or closure for the Warriors who died… Isayama why? I don’t understand, I just can't.
But Historia suffered the most honestly. The woman who wanted to live a life she could be proud of, who couldn’t bear watching someone cry saying they should have never been born, who needed to help anyone suffering no matter who they were. How can this person become someone who not only supports but is complicit in genocide? As if sidelining her as a drama device wasn’t bad enough. I’m so sorry for Historia.
At first, I thought the conclusion was very fitting for Attack on Titan, but at happened so quickly I was left unsatisfied. But writing this poll, I realized that I actually like almost every aspect that happend in this chapter, but because it was all in one chapter it was hard for me to consume it at first and thought if the information had been more spread out and more clear, it would've been a perfect end for Attack on Titan.
I hate the Ymir revel I wish they added more on maybe why she loved Fritz like maybe Fritz was actually protecting her from what his subjects would do to her like in the court scene is season one, he only looked like he was hurting her (like how Levi kicked Eren) but really her was giving her a new life in a higher position, Queen (in the scouts)
I hate what they did at the end with Eren's fellings towards Mikasa, It just does not make any sense at all.
The 80% feels kinda useless because the world could still retaliate, especially now that paradis worships Yeager.
I'm fine with the warriors talking positively about Eren because i assume Eren didn't reveal to them that he would have committed to the rumbling regardless of destiny.
mikasas connection to hizuru is why the scouts ended up with the plane and the boat etc so i don’t think it amounted to nothing, it also did more of explaining mikasas origin rather than leading to something new
The thing that really fell flat to me was the pure titans all being back to human and okay. It felt like it really shat on the previous chapter that way and it felt like really poor writing. If they wanted everyone to be okay there they should've turned them into pure titans several chapters earlier to make it feel like a reward rather than a cheap cop-out.
It definitely could have had work, but I think some things, such as Mikasa still grieving are natural. It’s not saying she does nothing but think of him, it’s showing that she’s human, and that his death deeply affected her. The warriors jointing the others makes sense, neither side is perfect, and at the end of the day, they both committed tragedies. If neither was capable of moving on, I think that would have left a poor impression. Armins sentiment over mass murder was poorly worded, but the new translation amends it, and makes sense, showing him accepting what’s happened, and attempting to make the most out of a bad situation.
Ymir was done dirty. He completely fucked up everything in regards to her. She is not a slave trapped in agony for 2000 years like chapter 122 led us to believe, but a love struck masochist? Miss me with that shit
Reiner, Jean, Connie and fucking ANNIE waking up from their talks with Eren LMFAOOOO what corny bullshit. Like Eren and Annie haven't talked in YEARSSSSSSSS ARE YOU KIDDING??? And Reiner going ""what a man you are"" is TRULY HYSTERICAL. Like get that shit outta here. LMAO and the fact that the titanization was immediately reversed, I remember taking last month's survey, thinking even Isayama wouldn't be that fucking spineless and yet! Here we are!! WHAT WAS THE POINT???? WHAT WAS THE POINT OF TURNING JEAN, CONNIE, AND GABI INTO TITANS, IF YOU WERE JUST GONNA REVERSE IT??? WHY????
Disappointed we never saw Eren’s full conversation with Historia.
Disappointed with Historia not being important
As for you poll creator why do you always simp for historia, she's a side character, she did not even appear for the most part. She's a side character!
Mappa has to cut the screen of hisu more . The despicable, useless genocide queen
Disappointed Eren and Reiner didn’t have sex
  AFTER THIS FINAL CHAPTER, HOW HAS YOUR VIEW OF THE SERIES CHANGED? 15,575 Responses
Tumblr media
Only time will tell if this manga as a whole becomes a true classic, and if people’s love for the story and characters endures despite any disappointments. As of a few weeks post-ending, 38.5% of you like the series just the same as you did before the last chapter. Sadly, 45.6% of you like the manga less than before, including 22.1% who say they like it a lot less. On the other hand, 15.9% of you now like the manga more, including 7.7% who like it a lot more! I wonder who is more free, the ones who’ve lost their attachment or the ones who feel no salt?
Attack on Titan has an ending.
Attack on Titan is a fucking masterpiece.
Attack on Titan is still Attack on Titan. What made it great will probably stick in my head, regardless of the ending. How it is now is something no one can undo. It could have been greater but at the very least, the journey itself (Isolated from the ending) was fantastic.
Good job ruining a series in a single chapter.  For the first time in my life as a manga/anime fan (over 20 years now) I'm hoping for a better anime only ending.
I can't look the same way at cool Eren moments now, thinking it all concluded to basically almost nothing
Think it'll get better over time.
I can't re-read any of the Paths chapters knowing everything amounted to this.
I consider all of the chapters after 123 as not canon
I don't think I can reread this series without a bad taste in my mouth knowing Eren got his mom killed, and then gaslights Reiner about it. Time travel was a mistake in the series because it opens up so many flaws and paradoxes. There could have been so many better decisions that could have been made, like letting Dina eat bertholdt and now they have both the colossal and a person with royal blood. The final chapter should be wrapping up the story, not introduce more plot holes.
The only way to have this series in the heart is to think that this chapter never happened. It's as they say 'Journey is more beautiful than Destination', in this case, this line makes perfect sense. The journey of the manga is the one that will remain in my heart and for that only, I would like to thank Mr. Isayama.
There are good things although the bad things were more prominent. Or not really bad things, but the sudden theme change. It felt rushed. Giant info-dump on the final chapter with no proper/not enough build up. This had definitely changed my perspective of the whole show, but regardless of the ending, AoT will still remain as one of my top favorites.
The realistic war drama turned out to be a love story. A toxic love, which started the titan story and a stupid love, which ended it. A lot of plot holes weren't closed, a lot of questions weren't answered. The main character turned out to be a virgin-clown, some really interesting characters (like Yelena or Hisu) were ignored for Mikasa's sake. Armin behaved stupid, the Worm disappeared just like he appeared and we didn't see almost anything about the world after a big genocide, but we saw Mikasa mourning Eren. I'm disappointed in my favourite manga and I can't say if I will be able to read or watch it after this like I used to.
To the people calling AoT completely ruined because of the ending: Appreciate the journey it took to get to the final chapter. AoT may not have ended perfectly, but it ended beautifully.
If I see another "It's about the journey and not the destination" one more time I'm going to go fucking insane
I literally can't enjoy any other snk content anymore cos all I can think about is this disappointing ending.
Does not take away from the stellar manga that is Attack on Titan
  DO YOU THINK ISAYAMA WAS ABLE TO END THE MANGA THE WAY HE WANTED? 15,390 Responses
Tumblr media
46.2% believe Isayama was able to mostly end the manga the way he wanted. 30.1% believe he wasn’t able to because he was influenced by his editor or the magazine (although might we stress, we don’t have confirmation of this besides a restricted page count as of the time we published these results). In third place, close to 16% thought his lack of motivation might have been a factor. Of course if you hate the ending a lot, there is always, always fanfiction to make it better. Don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it!
I hope this was not what Isayama wanted to create..
As a reader, I am confused as to what MESSAGE, or MORAL the author is sending. Mikasa still in love with Eren at the end. Armin thanking Eren for murder. Eren possibly being a slave to fate the whole time. It cheapens all the character development we've gotten thus far. Not to mention, this chapter, as well as the last 20+ chapters or so, has felt incredibly rushed. Lack of closure in countless ways for character's arcs and world details. Last shot we get of Reiner, one of the most complex and tragic characters in the story, is him sniffing Historia's letter. Give me a break. Also lame that the hallucogenia worm thing was just offscreened and the power of Ymir/the titans was never explained, or why Ymir's love for Fritz had anything to do with ending the Titan curse.
I don't think Isayama did his by his own wishes, if he did, it's kinda dissapointing
#ReleaseTheIsayamaCut
he should have kept the mist ending
If isayama got more time for ending this series it would be more clear. Most people couldn't understand the meaning behind this chapter.
I don't think Isayama intended to cause so much division over this ending. There was always going to be a divide because people never fully agreed on what the aim of the story was, but the amount of disappointment that has come from this chapter has been higher than I expected. Personally, I just thought it was a bad ending. It was rushed, there were elements that really did not need to be included and Eren's character was completely diminished. And of course the addition of a romance that was unnecessary and poorly developed. Overall, Isayama could have done a much better job if he spread the ending over multiple chapters and didn't confirm to formulaic endings. If people like it, then that's fine. I have no problem with that. But for me it was not a satisfying conclusion. (At least Levi's ending was pretty good).
Isayama just wanted to move on and start his sauna asap
Isayama was a slave to his editors
I don’t care if you liked it or disliked it, but I hope it does come out that Isayama had changed his original intention (not referring to “everyone dies” from years ago). That would be validating as a critic and minority in the fan base.
I cannot believe an author of Isayama's caliber seemingly just phoned it in for the finale of what is essentially his life's work and probable magnum opus.
I cannot stop thinking about all the different ways the ending could have been written.
Ban manga authors writing endings without a large break
Hope its what Isayama wanted
  ISAYAMA SAID HE WANTED TO HURT HIS READERS. IN YOUR OPINION, DID HE SUCCEED? 15,544 Responses
Tumblr media
“I think I wanted to attack something. Like betraying people or hurting people. And, well, it’s not exactly nice, but hurting the readers, too… In all honesty, I feel like that’s what I really wanted to do. For me, as a reader, when I think, ‘This manga will remain in my heart,’ it means, for example, it phenomenally hurt me: it’s those kind of expectations that I’m after.” - Isayama, 2019
According to the clear majority (61.7%), Isayama did hurt the readers although not the way he intended. 27.9% believe he did do it the way he intended to. Many of us wanted pain, but did we truly know what we were asking for?
he did, i'm still crying for the ending. i love it, but it's still hurt me lmao
There was lack of mature emotional moments in the final chapter besides Levi's sendoff. If he wanted to 'hurt' us or make us cry out of empathy, there wouldn't have been so much comedic moments. Hurt implies emotional investment; I didn't feel anything. Kinda cringed a bit.
He really said ""Ima give the gays nothing"""
He really did become bird [crying]
"Hurting the readers" and/or "Surverting expectations" are pedantic concepts that only hurt the story.
Im not hurt im disappointed af
Idk, made me laugh more than anything
Did he really say that? Damn, what an ass. Well I am not hurt but disappointed but I guess that counts as a sort of pain.The ending left with a bitter aftertaste like the ending of Season 8 of Game of Thrones
Bittersweet (because it was amazing but also the ending of my favorite series)
Bittersweet (bitter in a sad way)
Yes because no daz
HE BUTCHERED MY BABE HISTORIA, I WILL NEVER FORGIVE HIM
Wanted an ending with Eren and Mikasa staying together.
No, it was a cute ending. Most people didn’t even cry, i honestly thought he was gonna end it with everyone dying😕
(...i need to learn English more bc i can't  understand 2 word...) It was hurting but in good meaning. And it was really good chapter the ones who don't understand intentions of Eren can be (not all just i found a few of people like this(haters most)) are not mentally prepared for this manga.
Yes we were hurt by the terrible writing, even if he meant a tragedy he failed miserably . There were frankly signs of poor writing and characterization throughout, such as Armin's genius plans of basic logic.I don't know. Maybe he did intend to hurt his readers by lowering the quality of the narrative towards the end.
ISAYAMA YOU WILL PAY FOR MY THERAPY
Yes. He did. I was never hurt more than nearly any other story I Know. The Rumbling arc was perfection itself. The pain caused by it through the start of the rumbling to the end was phenomenal. I enjoyed being hurt. This is Attack on Titan. We knew what we were gunna get the moment we saw eren’s mom die. And Isayama delivered. So Yes. But simply saying Yes was not enough to describe how much he succeeded. It would have been rude to simply click “Yes”.  
Yes I DIDN'T WANT EREN TO DIE HAHAHA
you can not intend to be incompetent
I can't look at this story the same. So.
While I feel most of the fandom will be happy with the ending, at the same time, this chapter absolutely destroyed the part of the fandom that was most invested in this story for it's themes and not for "shipping" or hype flashy fightsI wasn’t hurt I was betrayed lmao YES! I'VE BEEN DEPRESSED EVER SINCE I READ THE LAST CHAPTER AND CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT IT 😤😤😤
DESCRIBE THE CHAPTER IN ONE WORD. 13,229 Responses
Tumblr media
Since this month once again smashed records for poll responses, it was interesting to see what words were most commonly used to describe the final chapter of the manga. The only word that also made it to the Top Five last month is “Pain”, but this time it may not be for the usual reasons…
Word of the chapter: Disappointing [835]
Runner-ups: Pain [506] Bittersweet/Bitter-sweet [402] Rushed [324] Shit [310]

  WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING PLATFORMS DO YOU USE TO DISCUSS THE SERIES?
15,022 Responses
Tumblr media
This month’s chapter poll saw an overwhelming number of responses, and given that this question is multiple choice, we get to do some fun data tricks. Like for example, the 1st place option on this question had nearly three times as many votes as the entire question itself had last month! And speaking of the first place option, it was Reddit, with over two-thirds of respondents using it to discuss the series. It’s followed by “In real life”, which received nearly half the number of votes, and is itself followed very closely by Twitter. Discord takes fourth place, with over 3600 votes. Youtube is fifth, with 22.1% of the votes, followed by Instagram (13.7%), Tiktok (9.1%), “I don’t” (8.4%), Facebook (7.8%), 4Chan (5.8%), Tumblr (5%), Snapchat (3.7%), The Wiki (2.5%), Twitch (2.1%), and Steam (0.7%).
I’ve been locked in a battle of attrition with the Snapchatters for more months than I can even immediately recall, but if this is the last time we ask this question… will I finally be free?
And if indeed this is the last time we ask, then I’ll say one more time on behalf of the poll team that no matter what platform you’re from, we appreciate you all taking part in snkpolls. We literally couldn’t have done this without you, and we’re glad to have left this record behind for all to revisit, and for those who haven’t read the series yet to one day maybe encounter a historical record of all of our experiences with this story. To see our theories, our inside jokes, and our heartfelt reactions to events long since past for us, even now, but that may be very new to you.
So To You, 2000 Years From Now, reading these results, we hope you enjoyed this ride as much as we all did.
Very sincerely, the Poll Team
Momtaku: I started this poll in chapter 91, and hosted it on my tumblr blog until chapter 104. Because of that early history, I sometimes see casual comments referring to it as “Momtaku’s poll”. I want to be clear that’s never been the case. This poll is the result of 15 individuals who have actively contributed over the last 5 years. I’d like to especially thank Kasch for being my partner in crime for the entire first year, Heidi for jumping in and letting us share tumblr space, and more recently Shifter for making me laugh at his war with the snapchatters, and Puppet, Crunch and Cloudy without whom this poll would not have continued to the end. It’s been a pleasure working with you, getting to know you, and thank you for carrying this to the finish line.  
Heidi: First I want to thank momtaku for bringing me onto the polls in the earlier days, and it has been such a pleasure working on them. They even inspired me to start running an anime poll throughout season 3 and the final season. I always find fandometrics so interesting, so it’s been really cool to see how people react to the chapters and how opinions and views have changed and grown over the years on certain characters and plot points. I still enjoy going back to older polls to see what everyone was theorizing and expecting, and it’s always so funny to see just how wrong a lot of us were. :P Though I’ve strayed away from the manga chapter polls in recent months due to one reason or another, I’m so grateful to have been part of this overall experience and I will miss it dearly. <3
Luna: I joined the team for the chapter 104/105 poll, because at the time I really enjoyed taking the poll and reading people’s thoughts when the results got published. My favorite part has been keeping track of the chapter rankings, and being able to compare each chapter’s initial reception. This poll also led to the birth of the podcast YouHearBigGirls, which I co-host and (still) very much enjoy doing. Even though the manga is now over, it’s good to have (tens? hundreds of?) thousands of pages chronicling this fandom’s opinion.
Alooulla: I can’t recall when it was that Momtaku invited me to join the poll team; definitely a few years back. I would like firstly to thank her and Luna for giving me the opportunity to help out where I can (which probably wasn’t as much as I really should have) and to say they were nothing but kind to me; being so deeply involved with this important part of fandom has been a joy. Obviously the manga is now over; and there are certainly a lot of mixed feelings about how it ended, which is perhaps inevitable when you have two endings; both of which were controversial in their own ways. And I will not pretend my love for the series hasn’t taken a few knocks here and there, the same as any fan who may have been upset with Serumbowl, the post-timeskip story direction, the revised ending - or anything else really. There have been ups and downs for us all, but one thing I am always certain of is that I will come away happy that I made lots of wonderful friends and had such a great time discussing things with all of you, even when we disagreed here and there. I look forward to a long road ahead of discussing all of the franchise’s future developments, from interviews to the anime. I wish all of you every happiness, whether you’re coming along for the ride or not. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being here with me.
Puppet: Oh man, I was a big fan of the polls for a while before I joined the team.  I felt like it was a great way to save the community’s thoughts and (often crazy) theories for posterity sake.  The month to month wait naturally leads to a lot of in depth speculation and theories that anime-onlies and binge readers often miss out on.  Due to being a big fan of the poll’s role in that way, when I joined I felt pressure to help decide what it was we needed to ask the fandom, that future fans would hopefully look back on for a snapshot of the fandom.  I hope I don’t sound too arrogant when I say I think the team did a great job with that, and I’m proud to have been a part of this fandom and this team.  To everyone who participated in the polls over the years, thank you so much for helping us create it, we couldn’t have done it without you.
shifter-lines: What’s up snapchatters and normal people! My Discord history tells me I started working with the poll team during the Chapter 120 poll. I started reading the manga back around the time of the Serum Bowl, so needless to say it’s been with me through a whole lot. Through snk, I’ve met so many people, and I have so many stories I could tell that I’ll bring with me for the rest of my life. I remember reading Momtaku’s tumblr posts on my phone at night while I was away on vacation probably long before I was even shifter-lines. Working on the poll with the team has been one of those great experiences that I’ll remember, and I’m really happy to have been here for it. I’m so grateful they brought me along for the ride, and I hope you guys have enjoyed voting in the polls and reading the analyses of the results as much as we’ve enjoyed preparing them. I want to thank Momtaku specifically for inviting me to the team to begin with, but I also want to extend my thanks to everyone who made this project possible, both the respondents and the rest of the poll team. Thank you!
staraves/cloudy: I’d been a lurker in the AoT fandom since Clash, and since I had little artistic talent – not even for shitposts – participating in the poll and reading others’ comments was one of the ways I could feel like part of the community. As the manga neared its end I realised I wanted to contribute more somehow, and I was very fortunate to be invited to the poll team at chapter 127 by the fabulous Momtaku. The year or so I spent working on these polls, the countless hours coming up with questions over Discord, arguing with Crunch about which dumb question shouldn’t be axed, reading through ridiculous numbers of responses to find as many thoughtful and funny comments as I could… it meant more to me than I can express. I hope very much that you, dear reader, feel like you are part of this community too, and that we brought you some amount of joy, because that’s what makes it worth it.
Crunch: I’ve been on the poll team for exactly a years-worth of polls, technically fourteen months if we count the one delayed chapter and the time spent making this poll’s results. I’d like to thank the core team I was able to work alongside the past year. It’s been a lot of fun and a lot of work, and even with the many arguments and contrasting views I’m proud of the questions we asked. I can be found at /u/berthototototo, and I look forward to whatever form the future of the AoT community takes.
Kevin: I joined around chapter 136. Even though I joined the poll team recently it has been such a fun and exciting emotional ride. I want to especially thank Momtaku for posting the link to help out. If it wasn’t for that I would have never been able to help and meet so many amazing people. I want to thank everyone at the poll team for being so welcoming to me and helping me out with any questions I had. To you readers thank you for taking these polls and giving us your opinions. It has always been very insightful to see what you all thought about the series. No matter how we think of how the series end I and I hope the rest of you are as grateful as I am for the community we have formed and the friends we have made. I hope that you as well as I keep moving forward with whatever we do after this experience and cherish the experience we had. Thank you all.
  ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS ON THE CHAPTER? 7,073 Responses
I sasageyo'd my last shinzo for that poll.
(crying)
I won’t use this space to complain nor praise. I hope it’s okay. But I would rather just thank you for making these polls. Thank you for your efforts over the years. It’s been a pleasure to fill them out.
Cannot believe it's all done! Six years of following the story leaves me so many lessons and experience. Thank you for all your hard work Attack on Titan Wiki and whoever made this poll.
And I'm really grateful to everyone on the poll team! These polls are such a fun part of the fandom experience, and I’m really thankful to all of you for working on them so thoughtfully every month! (And the anime ones too!!) It was a great ride, and I’m looking forward to any future polls!
I've been trying to process this chapter because while I love it, I'm fully aware that not everyone does and some people really, really don't like it. To be honest, it made me a little sad because this story brought together so many people and made us all really happy and I feel disappointed that not everyone can feel the same satisfaction that I do. They're free to feel however they feel and I know that we can't convince ourselves to feel something that we don't really feel, but I just hope that people don't take their frustration over the ending and try to make it seem like this story was bad or disappointing as a whole. There is so much that is utterly great about this series and future stories should take notes on how Attack on Titan handled world building, character development, planning out plot points over long periods of time, and engaging narratives that kept people glued to even the smallest leaks every single month. I love Attack on Titan more than any other story I've ever consumed and I'm sad to see it end, but I'm happy that it happened. Thank you to the community, WIT Studio, Mappa, Sawano, everyone else who contributed, and especially Isayama. This was a hell of a ride.
Also thank you to the person who made this poll. It's very well designed and helped sort my feelings about the chapter!
I wonder if Isayama even read his own manga with all the plot holes and inconsistencies showed in this chapter. Eren has been upset about his mom dying and is known to not be able to hide his emotions (Sasha death, historia hand, all of season 1). The talk with historia was referenced so many times but now seems like a waste of time, Mikasa being an Ackerman but being able to be influenced by paths, no yelena, no eren pov. This chapter wants you to believe that Tatakae eren was just acting the entire time, but its obvious Isayama genuinly wrote him to be like that.
140 hopium
are your feelings worth what youre defending.
alway thought aot will end with an uncertain future for everyone in the series but holyfuck it ended with not even explaining those possibilities
Always thought there was something beautiful in Mikasa and Eren having a familial love (in some ways the love between family can be just as strong if not more potent than romantic).
Hallu chan dying off screen was terrible as well and should be added to the poll
Hallu-chan deserved better
I'm just so happy Gabi and Falco got a happy ending.
even though this chapter was so bad, it doesn’t ruin the series for me. This final arc was badly written in so many ways and even ruined entire characterizations. But I fell in love with the series long before that. I fell in love with the series ever since I saw the first episode, and it became so good I had to pick-up the manga. I fell in love with the interesting and mysterious world Isayama created and the complex and beautiful characters he lovingly crafted. The excitement, joy, shock, tears and profound love for humanity this series gave me on its journey aren’t lost just because of a bad final arc. I will take what I loved in this series and carry it with me for the rest of my life. I’m grateful for that, at least.
I’d first just like to leave a message thanking all of the members of the poll team for putting these together all the time. You folks are amazing! Not playing favourites, but I wanted to thank Kevin for always providing the link to the poll and also just for being such a kind person throughout the time I’ve known him. Alright, the time for sentimentality is done I will warn you that I have a rant coming up too and I’m going to apologise a lot so let’s start off with one. I am so very sorry for this. Incoming paragraph, I’m sorry. This chapter gave me some pain, even though I liked enough of it to view it positively, because when I read it I interpreted it differently to a lot of readers it would seem. It was a fine ending, not great just okay, but everything to do with Eren was rather weak and led to a lot of the issues people have, but when everyone was “forgiving Eren” I read it as more of them realising that Eren wasn’t as selfish as he seemed. (He’s just an idiot who comes up with some sort of 80% genocide plan.) Thus, they would have stopped him either way but he took those memories of him visiting them just so that they would have no issues when it came to fighting him. I think it was just poorly worded once again and that it came out completely wrong, but that is just my interpretation and why I still liked the characters regardless. Incoming second paragraph, still sorry but less sorry. I’m a huge Reiner fan and the most painful thing is that I actually did like his ending a lot when most don’t. The scene with Karina was perfect and established for me one of the primary reasons why Reiner could be so carefree in the epilogue, he’s lived 3 years in relative peace not having to be a soldier and worry about the “dark future” anymore for anyone in his family or friends. So, I am glad he got to be happy and silly for his final moments of the series rather than the stoic and brooding Reiner from the Marley Arc only because it means that we get a glimpse into his life to see that he’s a happier man. To top it off he also ended up being the hero he always wanted to be and it was of his own accord. He chose to protect others. As for the letter sniffing, I think that Isayama could have chosen something better but I got a good chuckle and the banter afterwards was my favourite part of the chapter, and I think Isayama’s humour is just weird like that such as with the pie scene too. Finally, when it comes to Historia and Reiner. I honestly wish that Isayama has included Reiner thinking about her in his thoughts of his comrades during the dinner scene in Marley in order to help explain this scene, but I think Reiner still crushing on Krista makes sense since his feelings were often genuine on the Island even if his personality wasn’t, but I also think that Reiner wouldn’t have had the time to think about such frivolous things as love during the last 4 years and up through the Marley Arc. Sorry once again, but I’m done now. Thank you once again too, if anyone actually made it this far through some nobodies rant!
I kinda like that things with the remaining Eldians on Paradis were left ambiguous, & I didn’t really consider it until I read it in one of your questions. SNK was a very complicated story with a lot of moving parts, & there was zero chance everything was going to be resolved with every string tied up. That end gave a glimpse of the characters’ future for fans to consider, I feel like a cutoff ending of more sadness or weirdly placed happiness just wouldn’t be right. Plus potential for a spinoff, despite that I think that’s unlikely. The chapter did was Yams said it would do - fuck us up basically. I liked it, but I definitely get the frustration & disappointment. Armin is one of my top favourite characters ever & his talks with Eren & “thx for the genocide bro lol” made me laugh out loud, cuz it felt so wrong. But Armin’s done stuff like that before for his own reasons. Armin is a bit of a people pleaser & he knew in the moment that conversation with Eren was their last. So I guess he used some pretty weird words to appease Eren when Eren was already pretty fucked up over knowing the future.. idk it’s still all really confusing to me. But 139 absolutely won’t stop me from collecting every manga volume just to have a memory of what a hell of a ride SNK has been for me for so many years. Cool poll, thank you for making it & giving me & others more time to reflect!
I may have sound like I absolutely hated it through the poll, and I guess I did but it wasn’t the worse thing ever in itself. It affected he entire story for me which brings down the chapter itself even more
I don't know what to say but here's me crying in the corner
I am truly glad everyone is able to live peacefully without titans or the curse. I'm happy that Reiner can grow old with Connie and Jean and drink together like they said they would. I'm content with Levi living in peace after all those years of living in misery from the amount of loss during the war. I definitely expected Armin in the end to make a history book, just never knew how he had Eren's side of the story. I'm not happy that Eren had to die in the end of this all but I know it was for the plot, as a way to end this show with a big bang. Overall I appreciate the hard work put into this, even if this was the ending he may or not have intended on giving us.
I am vocal and not happy
after all this, i personally prefer aaron yoghurt over eren, simply for the MEMES. fuck eren, he could've been one of the best shonen protagonists ever if he just stuck the landing.
Why the fuck were the Galliard's forgotten, they both died for Reiner and didn't even got to say goodbye like the Survey Corps
Why they have to do my man Eren like that
Why was this the ending??? I feel especially bad for Mikasa and wish she would just burn that stupid scarf
"Call your Name" OST literally spoiled it all - Listen to the lyrics again
Boo! (but not like a ghost... obviously)
I enjoyed it for what it was. I'm glad Eren is dead, fuck that bitch. I wish the warriors were given a better ending. I was upset they didn't get any recognition in the end and Reiner and Pieck didn't get to give their final good bye to them in the fog, the warriors deserved to be more than just plot devices.
I enjoyed it. I enjoy it more reflecting back on the whole story.
I enjoyed the chapter overall and find it really weird that people really wanted Eren to commit full on genocide. If anything I was kinda meh on them being thankful that Eren killed 80% of the population. But maybe that’s not the way Isayama intended it to come off as.
nothing, it just fucking sucks
Nothing, it's just so good.
He does not know how to write romance omfg, the only exception being chad Ymir and Historia who should have had more time together.
I feel like a major theme of the series is people not being who we expect them to be. Maybe that's what Eren was supposed to be. I'll never truly understand his plan though.
I feel like Eren could've maybe lived somehow. Maybe it's unrealistic but him dying only made him a martyr for Jeagerists in my mind. Plus I just wanted him to be happy with Mikasa. :(
Absolutely hated all of it. This doesn't even feel like Attack on Titan. Every single moral and message that the series has championed like no other since the start was completely massacred. Mikasa's storyline of breaking away from Eren was massacred. Eren's character was massacred. Reiner was massacred (wasn't he confirmed to be gay?). The only good thing about this is Levi. Also, hell, idc if they're adopted, Mikasa and Eren are siblings. Every guidebook has put Eren and Mikasa in a family box together. Isayama himself said that rather than a lover, Eren viewed Mikasa as a mother figure. On top of the themes of this final arc revolving around family and sibling ties, the final twist of them being secretly in love is disgusting. On top of that, Eren has been nothing more than verbally abusive to Mikasa. ON TOP of their relationship in general being paralleled to the pedophilic, abusive relationship (with stockholm syndrome) between Ymir and the King. Everyone forgiving Eren is a bad look too. Sure, the winner's write history, but Eren isn't part of some fascist regime that lasts years. He fucking died. No one has to support him. He mercilessly killed a population that was the equivalent of the great dying extinction events of earth's history. Attack on Titan already stands on controversial ground with its holoucaust-like imagery, Paradis's lore being similar to Japan's, and the implications and commentary it makes on real life history and politics (in spite of being a fictional show).
I feel so empty man
I feel sorry for people that followed this manga over many years, only for them to receive such a bad ending.
Y’all too angry bro lmao.
Yaegerists got cucked, but at what cost?
i feel satisfied
I believe Grisha Jaeger's monologue from chapter 85 "Who was in the wrong? Me? Or this world? It was probably both. I was foolish and ignorant... And the world was unfair and mad" encapsulates perfectly the theme the final chapter depicted, and perhaps even Shingeki no Kyojin as a whole.
The theme changed and it’s awful. I feel discomfort.
The things that really pissed me off like Historia's treatment were things I gave up on years ago. I was just pleasantly surprised with how happy the ending was and I'm here for Levi's perfect ending.
I fucking hate you isayama, but i also fucking love you
I hate how happy Armin's ending is in comparison to Eren and Mikasa. It's like it was a story about EMA, with EM doomed to tragedy and A destined to get all the glory in the end.
At first I was sad that Ymir (Jaw) died before season 4 but now I'm glad her character couldn't get ruined lol
At least Connie lived
At least Floch was right in the end.
At least I can move on, even though a great protagonist is ruined
At least I can't be further disappointed by the next one.
At least I still love chapters 1-90. Post-timeskip is ruined for me though
At least I'm free now.
At least it wasn’t GoT’s ending
At least Levi is alive and Pieck is a beauty
At least the Levi scene was good.
At least we are finished? ��� Also, not worse than GoT imho.
At least we are free now (anime original ending 1% hopium tho)
at least we still have Miura
At the end of the day it was just super rushed
At the end of the day, it is still a really great series although the ending was something left to be desired.
At the very least, I can move on from this series.
I really wished it could be longer, but if that's how Isayama decides to end it then so be it. It's weird seeing the warriors and the scouts working together as ambassadors, feels kinda awkward. Kinda sad seeing Eren and Mikasa's bitter end even though there's no other way it could end. I dont know why but I thought Levi would die since he's always the one that's left and seeing all his friends and limbs gone just makes me feel even worse for him. Overall happier ending than I had expected. Thankful for it
i really would’ve liked to at least know historia’s baby’s name
i realy enjoy the birb memes
I hate seeing so many misconceptions. like people not understanding that Ymir ended the Titan curse because Mikasa gave her the will to defy the kings will.
..goat?
The treatment of women in this last chapter is unacceptable.
“A story must not retreat to actions of lesser quality or magnitude, but move progressively forward to a final action beyond which the audience cannot imagine another.” - Robert Mckee
In any realistic world, killing 80% of humanity would vastly intensify the hatred against Eldians. The world isn’t going to say “Maybe they aren’t so bad—-after all, they stopped it before they killed 100% of us.”

Attack on Titan to me has achieved more than almost any other fictional story with its intertwining storylines. Enough can be said by Isayama's dream of knowing how the story would end in the beginning. To transform a story from fighting 'monsters' to all we have witnessed is nothing short of a pleasure and I have been lucky enough to experience it. From Eren, to Reiner, Erwin, Levi, Kenny, Armin, Zeke, Mikasa, Floch, Gabi and of course Falco, to all the rest. These characters, these people, embody all that humanity has to offer across its shared history. From its successes against overwhelming odds, to its cruelty and beauty. Regardless of how it ended, Attack on Titan and its people will stay with me and I look forward to sharing this wonderful tale to those in the future. Shinzou o Sasageyo.
Attack on Titan was dated to be garbage upon becoming mainstream. Prolly more Ymir shenanigans there as well, who knows? (Only Ymir knows)
Attack on Titan was series that prided itself on how much it invested in its payoffs from an early point. I remember how much the basement reveal impressed me with how it managed to satisfy and keep up the intrigue despite the carrot at the end of the stick having now been eaten. The series showed incredible confidence in its willingness to change, yet not feel divorced from what it was. In fact, I could reflect more positively on earlier chapters knowing where the story was going and all of this meant something. This chapter, and this entire final arc, betrays pretty much everything I had grown to like about the series. The logistics of it all feel so railroaded, begging you not think about them lest the house of card come crashing down. It's a painfully rote action hero ending with shallow lip service paid to a supposedly sympathetic villain, because that's just how the heroes are meant to act.
The way the manga ended almost the same way it started just blows my mind. From the first chapter, there are tiny details of what's gonna happen. The parallelism and the symbolism! Isayama is a genius.
Bro I was hoping for 45 page long sex scene with Eren and historia, but I guess the bird was cool
I think Isayama did not give the end Levi deserved. Even if I loved the Levi scene, I wish something even more shooking would happen for him before the end, even if he had to die. He’s a Ackerman, and during the whole manga, he’s shown as the strongest character. I would actually rather see him dying as a hero than on a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
When stripped down to the basic plot points/events, it makes sense. However, what comes to undermine it all is the way in which these plot points and ultimate conclusions are portrayed
Levi, Mikasa, Falco and Gabi were the only characters who's story wasn't completely ruined
Can't really believe so many people didn't get that Ymir's love for Karl Fritz was Stockholm syndrome, but considering the term was only invented in our world in 1973, Isayama couldn't explicitly say it was, but I guess you can kinda fault him for using something like that in his story. Though I can't say I'm very happy with him making parallels beween Ymir/Karl Fritz and Eren/Mikasa.
-Considering we saw a lot of pre-timeskip Eren during the chapter and the fallout currently happening on Titanfolk, it really does make me sad that Titanfolk only gave a shit about Eren because they thought he was a coldblooded monster that was willing to kill his friends alongside the world and had sex with Historia.
-I have absolutely no doubt most of the ending's issues will get patched out with The Final Season Part 2.
I feel people are too obsessed with their head cannon to allow themselves to enjoy the ending. The same happened with GoT, but at least that was poor as many obvious themes led to nothing. Here, the ending makes sense. My favourite theory was the high school dream theory, but this was far more realistic.
Isayama wanted to make Watchmen, but didn't have the writing skills of Alan Moore.
Lots of plotholes I wish they fixed. Was looking forward to the mystery behind the Ackerman Clan but that didn't happen either.
Mikasa deserved better. I'm no longer an Armin fan, him mocking Eren after breaking down was disgusting. Hange's death was pointless, and I wish they were alive and chilling with Levi, Gabi, Falco and Onyankopon. Ymir is a vindictive little bitch who should've sculpted Eren a Paths body so he could be with Mikasa, even if they have to go in hiding. Fuck this ending.
i'll miss this journey and the characters we followed and watched grow , thank you isayama
I'll miss this.
I'll miss you all
I'll never forget it. This work is like an heart for me
I'll never forgive the Japanese
I'll probably like it more in due time
I'm a broken man
I'm a clown for following SnK for so long
I'm disappointed with how Mikasa and Historja were handled, and feel SNK fell victim to typical Shonen problems with female characters
I'm fine with how things end of it's really how Isayama wanted it. I just wish it wasn't all in the last chapter. Also it feels like Isayama 'told' us what happens in this chapter instead of 'showing' it. This seems quite unlikely as he is an excellent author who has delivered messages through showing us concepts through many micro-narratives in the story, as opposed to only characters saying them.
I'm fine with the alliance winning ending but this is just lazy
I'm flabbergasted... there are no words to describe this mess
Reiner should’ve had a better conclusion to his character arc, him sniffing the letter is fine in my opinion, but such a major character like Reiner going out on that is extremely disappointing (he isn’t even one of my favourite characters). I think if he wrote more chapter the ending would be way more satisfying, but the last chapter feels rushed and a lot of stuff was probably left out because it wasn’t as important as what was happening in the chapter (like the worm never being seen again or Yelena because the reader should be able to make the connection of what happened but it’d still be nice to see and get more context like what the worms whole point was other than making Titans) . On a whole I feel I dislike most of the things in the first half of the chapter while liking most of the content in the second half.
wjere the hell is yelena??? the hot woman disappeared into thin air
Would have been nice if it was longer than a normal chapter to better wrap some plot threads up and give the final chapter more emphasis
Can King Fritz erase my memories of this chapter minus the Levi's farewell to the scouts part?
Can we have an anime only ending, which is better?
Can we just appreciate Armin defending Mikasa against the Marleyans the same way he defended Eren against the Garrison back in season one?
can't believe I've wasted 8 years of my life for this lmfao
Can't believe it is over! I loved it all from the beginning to the end.
Can't look at Eren/Ymir and previous scenes the same anymore.
Can't recommend this series to anyone anymore..
Can't reread AoT anymore. Not hyped for s4 p2 anymore. Sad.
Can't wait for part 2
Can’t be bothered anymore
Can’t believe the series is actually over :(
Can’t wait to see it animated with music and more moments in between panels!
Would have been nice if this chapter gave us a clear explanation why Eren saw a Point if view shot of Goth Mikasa and Nerd Armin, and a Areal point of view shot of Falco back in historia hand kissing times
You know what, f it. Lets talk about Reiner some more. This is MY BOI, AND YOU RAMMED HIM RAW. LETTER SNIFFER???? WHO TF THOUGH THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA. Reiner was by far the best character in any manga I have ever read. He starts off as a literal child soldier thinking hes hot shit, a Marleyan ready to truly liberate his country (and himself) from the evil Paradisian scourge. Then he gets his kicked shit in (Marcel). Then it happens again (literally by Annie). And again (Marcel). But he picks himself back up. And everytime Reiner keeps pushing himself, keeps making the hard moral decisions of whether to keep going or to confess until it literally breaks his mind in half. But he NEVER GIVES UP. Unlike every other character, even with the gun to his head, he takes all of the shit of the world, holds it in himself, and keeps pushing forward. Because he's the Armored Titan. The one to stand in the defense of others. A reformed hero that stands as a foil to the monster that is Eren.
Then Isayama undoes all that characted development for KIDDING AROUND. Give me a break. I'm a ReiKasa stan, where the romance has actual viability and emotional maturity. Reiner should be on kid #3 5 years from now. Fuck this ending."
I liked the pain Isayama intended by having Eren suffer not being free but a slave to destiny and tragic love with Mikasa.
I liked the themes of sacrifice, forgiveness, and mistrust being explored in the chapter. I was upset with the sugary coating given to Eren and the Alliance. It felt very out of place from the rest of the series.
I liked the whole Ymir thing and her love for the king but it should have been hinted.
inconsistent doesn't fit its dark story, the happy ending that lacks any dark or tragic tone sounds illogical, Isayama shouldn't have changed his original plans were all the characters should be killed perhaps by Eren for the sake of Paradise, his son from Historia and his lover Historia despite being tragic and immoral it's more consistent, I mean seriously this world was doomed because of its hate, and his friends were doomed because they have no clue or plans how to save Paradise unable to take any action or decision, he could also implement a mixed type ending by altering this current ending, for example, the Conversation between Armin and Eren should be removed so Eren can be true to his character, Historia's child is revealed to be Eren's child, Mikasa's instincts then are applied to Eren's child( he may kill Historia during pregnancy and Mikasa raises this child as her own), Reiner feeding himself to Gabi to save her, Libero people are gone, Annie and Peack loses their fathers as punishment for killing innocents on Paradise island, the child then inherits the full powers of the Attack/Founding titan to lead Paradise in the future, had no choice but to give the current ending in ch 139 0/10. but if Isayama originally killed all the characters by Eren I may give 10/10.
Isayama please reveal the true ending.
Isayama really did well in every chapters, and I love the way he ended the series.
Isayama really said “how can I spin beating Hitler’s high score as a good thing.”
Isayama rushed it just so he can enjoy his hot spring already
Isayama seems like he views everything (characterization, themes, etc) as less important than the plot. I guess this is what he meant when he said he didn't intend for AoT to have any kind of message, but it ruined the enjoyability for me anyway.
Isayama should have done more chapters and shouldn't have given in to the demands of his editor.
Isayama should have gone with full rumbling
I hate the Jaegerists' emblem. How can they use the style of 'Wings of freedom' with riffles. NO. Just no. They took 'sasageyo', they took 'if you don't fight you can't win...' they took the power ! I'm sad, I'm affraid for the alliance, I'm affraid for the peace.
It did a good job of ending the series, but it felt sloppy. Eren lost a lot of depth by being portrayed as a hero. The use of ghosts felt lazy, Levi's ending would have been more impactful with him clutching Erwin's bolo or something. Armin felt way too okay with Eren's genocide (even though I doubt that was the intent, it was still portrayed unbelievably messily). Eren's head being parctically paraded around by Mikasa was horrible for both Eren & Mikasa's characters. The ending overall feels almost fanservice-y. I'll never forgive Isayama for what he did to Reiner's arc lmao
Considering what numerology says about 139 and 140 kind of gives me hope. With all the future traveling it is very possible to make a good ending after this shitty one.
The poor fan translation had too much influence on the reception to the ending, as did some unjustified predictions. There are fair reasons to criticize the ending - I don't necessarily agree, but I can at least respect them - but a lot of people had less fair criticisms as a result of the above. Hopefully the expansion of the chapter helps matters.
There are going to be more pages in the official volume 34 so hopefully that erases some confusion and clears up some stuff that was rushed. I really liked it, but it could've used a lot more panels.
There was some things left out that I wish they could elaborate on but the ending was bittersweet and exactly what should happen even though I wish everyone had happy endings.
I'm glad the future of the world and the characters is left ambitious with many different interpretations, yet it remains hopeful. I feel like a lot of the series has been about finding hope when there isn't any and fighting anyway, so THAT aspect of the ending was (dare I say) pretty fucking perfect. I think it does a lot of other things really well that line up with the themes I've gotten out of the story up until that point. I don't see a lot of the same flaws with the ending other people do, but I don't care to argue of it. I don't want to say something is bad just because everyone else does and I know I liked it, so these "bad" things can't really be bad if I like them, right? Isn't it subjective or whatever? Maybe I'm just a contrarian, idk... But the difference in opinions in the AOT fandom has certainly been of the the things I'm most interested about, because the closer we've gotten to the end, the more divided people have been over everything that's going on. So I'm glad this poll exists and I'm sorry for whoever saw how much I type and said "fuck no"
there were a lot of issues i had with the final chapter (plot holes, weird dialogue, ooc), but i'm glad that yams was able to give us a beatiful story with amazing characters and art for 11 years. i'm gonna miss the memories i had when watching it for the first time in 5th grade.
Annie doesn't deserve to live.
Annie is my queen
I still find the series pretty great but this last chapter... as ending i consider it subpar when compared to the series as a whole. 進撃の巨人 didnt deserve such a thing to happen, it also disapointed me, but nothing much can be done about it now. now... Now I Will Keep Moving Forwards.
I have to say the reason I appreciate, or to be content to say the least with this chapter was I read the chapter as itself.My wholesome side loved how everyone survived loved, was fine with Historia's child is actually the with Farmer-kun or that Hallu-chan just disappering. Hell I first didn't like but then appreciated Eren not giving us a concrete answer to why he really caused the rumbling .
This chapter destroyed Eren's characterization. Before its release, I would've been content with the ending since there were subtle hints that the ending was changed in some way with Eren losing. The one thing that I asked of the chapter was that whatever happens to Eren it doesn't invalidate everything he's done up to this point... and it did just that. Now, rereading Eren's moments especially in Paths and 131 will just make me cringe knowing that all of it was apparently a facade and not what Eren truly desires (even in his inner monologues like wtf). I'm convinced he was retconned to be used as plot device solely for this chapter. Also, where was Eren's final tatakae moment that Isayama promised?
This chapter didn't ruin the whole manga for me, but it could've been a lot better. Whatever happens in the ending, I don't mind because I don't really lean on any side. I trusted Isayama that he'll give us a logical and satisfying ending. But I have to admit that there were a lot of plot holes in this chapter and character arcs were completely wasted. I ship EM but I wasn't satisfied with the whole EM thing in the latest chapters because I think it was just all of the sudden and poorly developed. I'm hoping this whole ending (and the previous recent chapters) will be fixed/changed into a more logical and satisfying conclusion in the anime.
I LOVED the alliance being ambassadors, that was what I wanted, but everyone being thankful over Eren, EVERYONE, just left a bad taste.
I always wanted to like Mikasa and Armin, and the previous chapter was so good. And they were so lame in this chapter I just don't care about them anymore. Romance in shonen has never failed to disappoint me, and not even AoT - such a refreshingly asexual manga - was spared.
This chapter shows Isayama's near perfect handle on the story he crafter over 10 years in its surgical destruction of almost everything that has been building up since the beginning.
Glad the edgy theories were debunked, besides some pairings i like, I didn't knew the fandom was in a war about who gonna get eren's barely legal pp (this is very disturbing, people discussing this kind of thing in graphic details, or maybe i'm just old lol)I like open/vague endings and i don't have the need to know every little detail and the answer for every mistery, i'm used to this kind of thing. Maybe more explanation about Mikasa and the Hisuzu thing should be nice. (english clearly is not my first language, I apologize in advance ^^")
Glad to be freed of this and able to enjoy fandom works
This chapter reminded me why I stay away from fandoms (to avoid the drama), and why I couldn't help but come back (because drama is fucking hilarious).
Warriors deserved better
Watching Erehisu shippers and ""Chad""ren self-inserters get BTFO so hard is the one solace of this ending.
Eren be able to fulfill his promise to himself ,to his friends and to his people. He never change, he never that cocky , he always selfish since he was born, most importantly, he always love mikasa.
Eren being slave to a fate is character assassination. I'd rather if his 80% plan was his conscious choice for his friends and the world, so they can move forward.
eren character-wise: ok with the shift from previous chapters. what’s not ok is how literally nothing else made sense logically—80% vs full rumbling, everyone suddenly being friends, ymir having stockholm syndrome, mikasa being the key, historia plot being tossed away (i don’t really ship anyone but plot wise it made more sense for historia to be more important)
eren coulda just had mikasa is my only thought
Eren deserved better after what happened in this shitty world
Eren does not deserve Mikasa.
EREN FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED YOU PUSSY
Eren fucked his friends over.
Eren got butchered.
Eren is a incel lol
Eren is a loser
Eren is a well written character
Eren is the biggest issue. Most of the other details are good or acceptable.
eren isnt theeren we know. i hate to see mikasa is still thinking eren and they dont show her leader woman. also ymir is worst character ever wtf
Eren kill his fucking mother
Eren left a chance for Eldians to be free from oppression, and he wants Armin to be the ray of hope that can act on that chance, and prove that Eldians are different from everyone else. War can never end so long as two humans have different viewpoints, we all know that, but it leaves a hopeful feel
eren n mikasa should’ve been togetehr
Eren please be alive
Eren pulling a Lelouch feels rushed, undeserved, and worst of all thematically incoherent with the story. Not only is it justifying a genocide worse than anything we've seen in the real world by giving it a meaning and a reason for happening that leads to a greater good, but it also lacks the narrative development needed to pull it off.
Most if not all of the issues of this chapter could've been solved very easily simply by changing some of the dialogue and structuring the final arc better. If that had been done, even this ""Zero Requiem"" ending could've been great.
Eren should be alive and they should grow old together mikasa and eren.
Eren should have completed his goal. We already knew he didn't want to murder so many people but he became cold for Paradis' sake
Eren should have eliminated them all.
Also change Ymir's reason for living forever in the purgatory of Pathes from loving King Fritz to loving her Eldian ancesters and seeing herself as a great protector/mother of the race. They are her direct blood and she wants to make sure they don't experience the same hell she lived as a human. Make the other Eldians eventually come to this line of thinking ""all humans deserve freedom irregardless of background"" and they no longer need a god like Ymir to protect them. To sum it up, the Eldians think it is time to ""face the music"" and prove to the world they are not monsters (Hange & Armin plan). It would change Ymir's mind about remaining in the Paths and defending the Eldians forever. Eren would still be seen as the evil force that united the people of the world while making ""The Alliance"" and Eldians heroes of the world.
Mikasa saved the world <3
Mikasa should've let Eren go fully is my only real complaint the ending should've been Armin and her burying Eren and meeting with the others. Showing they've both let Eren go and are committed to moving on from him.
Mikasa snigle liek a prigle noew
mikasa walking off on her own was stupid
Mikasa was an interesting and well rounded character, she deserved more than to be boiled down to “erens lil gf”
Mikasa was beautiful.
Mikasa was good. Armin, eh alright. Could care less about anything else. None of it made sense.
cool but i dont like how annie dont get karma :'3 like she makes many people cant meet they parents anymore like petra and her dad T^T huhuhu but i love annie but sjvsjxuxsvxjsb i want her or annie dad feel what petras dad feel 0-0
damn bruh you got too many questions
Decent but not great - felt like it was  being built up to have a crazy ending, maybe i read too much into the theories
handwriting can emit scent
Mikasa will never find happiness. 😌
Mikasa will pretty much be the only character I won't miss.  So disappointing.  But the rest of the characters make up for it.
Mikasa your perfect girls😍😍
Mikasa, Armin and Jean? GODS ♡ Ymir being in love with King Fritz? would have taken it if he was shown to manipulate her into thinking he loved her, but it makes no sense like this. Also, i hate these fascist vibes.
Mikasa, Levi and Ymir deserved better and a better conclusion to their character arc
Mikasa's character development arc is complete. Same with many other characters. I'm glad Levi is alive. I wish we got more info on Eren time travelling to Eren Kruger, more about Xavier, what really happened 107 years ago, Historia's stance, Annie and Armin
mikasa's character is so annoying.
Mikasa's ending kinda reminded me of "School Days" lol
Mikasa's lines should have just ended at "See you later, Eren" instead of the ones in the finale. It was more satisfying than "thank you for the scarf ereh"
Mikasa’s overall story is so sad
Mikasa/Ymir parallels were weird and rushed. Mikasa's character was never given the development we were promised. Disappointing chapter overall
Eren’s Armin=Helos excuse for killing 80% of the world is flimsy at best, then why the hell would he go back on it and be like ‘meh I would probably have rumbled anyway’??!!! Also, I’m horrified at how the series ended for Mikasa :(
Erwin didn't die for this.
Erwin DILF
Erwin once said to Pixis that there will always be fighting unless the population is one or less. The manga HAD to end on conflict. I am happy to see the characters turning from soldiers to diplomats.
Why isayama you were so close to perfection
why tf the warriors got a happy ending? fuck annie

Thank you SnK pollers. Thank you Isayama. It's been one heck of a ride.
Floch did nothing wrong.
Floch died in vain.
Floch was just trying to save us from this ending
Floch was the real chad all along
Fly high eren yeager and to all of the characters!
For a while now I knew this series would end with Eren dying. But did I want it to happen? No. I wanted Eren to finally be free from his hell, free to explore the world he destroyed, and free to be with Mikasa. I held out the slightest bit of hope that Eren would be able to regenerate his body one last time and be hidden to the world with the help of his friends. I thought his goal for the longest time was to put an end to the Curse of Ymir, to bring peace to Paradis and to live a long life. Isayama shattered my hopes, but still gave a satisfying conclusion to an eleven year manga. I would rather see it go out with something that made me feel sad for the characters in the manga, than sad that the manga went out with little to fuss about it. And for that I need to say, thank you, Isayama. You took me on a ride that I will never forget, and a story that I will always love.
For God sake, it could've been better
AOT IS NOT A ROMANCE
How bad it was? Only Ymir knows.
None besides Mikasa needing to turn into her own amazon better better and how Levi could've reacted to his Ackerman blood line since he is the senior officer compared to Mikasa.
None I know a lot of people hate it and I might get a lot of hate for my opinion but it just how I feel.
None if only did they make the ending good it would be better
None in particular
None just sadness
None of it makes sense
none other than it sucks
None, head empty
none, im satisfied i love mikasa tho shes a baddie
None, sad that its over. Favorite series :(
None, thanks for the poll!
How do I unread a series
How to turn a 10 to a 6 in one chapter.
I feel the Chapter 139 negated all the feelings and emotional investment I've had about it for almost years of reading it. After I read it, I can't eat and became very depressed for a long time.
i fucking dont care
I hated it first because Eren and Mikasa were the only ones who didn't get what they wanted but the more and more I re-read I'm loving it
If you think this is a bad ending, you haven't been paying attention
Imagine going to a restaurant. The entry was good. The main dish was amazing, so amazing that you wanted to personally thank the chef and ask him how could a mere human cook something that it so heavenly delicious. The dessert was not as good but the aftertaste still kicks in whatsoever. However, as you're eating the dessert, you start feeling uncomfortable and your tummy makes loud noises and isn't doing well. You ended up having a severe uncontrollable diarrhea. Would you go eat on that restaurant again ?

You guys are making these polls out of bitterness and it shows in your questions
Armin is a Gary Stu and it's so embarrassing how much the story bends to frame him as this savior when he was useless in the last arc.
Armin is the best aot character from the beginning until the end
Armin and Mikasa are the worst characters in this manga, Isayama ruins everything whenever he includes them in the plot
Bertholdt deserved better than having to be part of this manga
Everybody's over here whining about Eren and Reiner's characters being assassinated but can we talk about Historia for a moment? She got shafted in probably the worst way possible. She had her arc, got pregnant for no reason, and then allowed her country to become overrun by actual fascists. What the shit girl?
Everyday since this chapter released I wake up in the morning with extreme disappointment
Everyone except Levi is OOC.
Everyone got a “happy ending” except Eren and Mikasa
Everyone has mixed opinions and I'm alright with that.
Wasn’t a huge fan of the dialogue and the nonchalant way most of the Alliance seemed to just be like “Oh my god, Eren is such a great guy.” I certainly would’ve preferred a more conflicted initial feeling, with the epilogue showing us the main cast’s gradual appreciation for Eren. I was kind of confused with the whole smoke thing and how it showed dead characters through timey-wimey stuff, but whatever floats your boat Isayama. I was most definitely surprised by the implications of the chapter, but was alright with what they meant for the story. While yes, many built up aspects were dropped (In referring to people’s dissatisfaction with the lack of Historia’s presence and Reiner’s sudden return to kissing Historia’s ass instead of being the depressed badass everyone wanted him to be), I’m gonna give Isayama the benefit of the doubt and say this is his parallel to the real world, as not everything in life gets a satisfying happy with all threads being tied up. Like Historia, people in our lives will change roles and become more or less relevant throughout our lives. Like Reiner, people may live through difficult points in their lifetime, but that doesn’t mean when their friends come to accept them again, they won’t go back to being obsessed over the same girl from a decade ago. I believe the last chapter holds significance for the final themes and plot points of the story, as well as handing the audience some moral standpoints for the real world (Obviously excluding the mass genocide of 80% of the world to avenge your mother).
Most things in this chapter were most likely an ass-pull from isayama’s inner asscrack. The things said by Eren in this chapter contradicted everything he said for the 138 chapters. OH AND WHY DIDNT WE GET A ZEKE MENTION?? hell, he was basically was the one who gave the alliance the opportunity to kill Eren. And Levi was always the goat character.
Seriously the worst chapter in the series, so much stuff rushed and so many nonsensical decisions on Yams part. I feel like he just wanted to finally finish the manga.
Seriously what the fuck happened
Seriously what's with the Alliance thanking him
People need to stop crying about it for fuck sake
Some fans didn’t deserve this manga
some good ideas, some wacky ideas, not very great execution all around
Some good, most bad. I am more interested in the journey, not really the destination of a story. I'll always love the story, setting, ideas, and characters. The ending left a lot to be desired, but I don't think the average reader should discredit the journey. It was masterfully written, full of incredible moments, and became one of the most popular stories of this medium. It simply just didn't stick the landing, unfortunately.
Some kino would be nice
The Birbs are attacking my windows and now Birbs attack Mikasa’s scarf?? I WILL DESTROY ALL THE BIRBS!
The bitter sweet ending Isayama had said became reality and it hurts so much! So painful for Mikasa. I hope they get together in the after life. 😭😭😭
Very mixed feelings. Most of the scenes themselves look great, but in a lot of the scenes the dialogue falls short, and feels out of character in some cases, and mixed messages on the moral of the story in others. My interpretation (Liars) is how I think the Eren Armin discussion in the Paths works when parts of it are lies on both Eren and Armin's dialogue. The immediate aftermath has a lot of issues with what the moral of this story is, as well as the dialogue ignoring some of the themes built up all this time (except Levi scene, which is perfect). The timeskip aftermath I overall really like, just minor execution choices I think could have been better (Reiner letter sniffing).
Villians (including titans) are not punished meanwhile 80 percent of inoscent people died. Great...Violence propoganda
Имир - просто сюжетный инструмент, шизоуебищная мразота со стокгольмским синдромом длиной в 2000 лет, которой неебаться как нужно было спроецировать свои ущербные шизоидные отношения с Фрицем на Микасу с Эреном. Чмо, которой нравится нравится смотреть, как челики режут головы их дорогим людям. Тупая пизда, которая с нихуя выпустила поросей, которые просто чиллили.
У Эрена 3 из 10 интеллект.
Посыл оказался не антирасистским
Первые 20 страниц без текста - ахуенно. Да и в принципе без текста читается ахуенно
Парадиз превратился в свинофашистскую помойку.
WAITING FOR THE WORD "PAIN" TO BE ANIMATED.
walmart lelouch
was just great, loved every bit of it. even my theories came into play.
Was make or break, previous chapters weren't all that good but it could have been saved like many theorized. The ending had awful writing and I am deeply disappointed.
Was so close to being perfect for me honestly, if only the forgiveness for Eren didn't happen.
Was this really it? This is what we waited for? This was at the end of “what’s in the basement”??
We should have seen Ymir close the path and what happened to the people living in the path like what happened to porco and Zeke after the path was closed
We were robbed for a truly glorious ending. I think Isayama felt a bad genocidal ending would have backfired for him as an author promoting it and decided to change it completely.AoT as a whole is amazing (even with the many plot holes) because Isayama is an outstanding story teller and I don't believe this is his true INTENDED ending to this amazing series
We will appreciate this ending more in the future. Readers need some time to understand it.
I’d love to hear about the behind the scenes of this particular chapter.
I’d wanted see more of some characters like Ymir after Eren’s death and Mikasa living free in Paradis
we will get more pages in the final version so w8 till then :)
We'll all cry once Mappa animates the finale with good direction and an emotional ost in the background.
You just didn't get it
Hella of a ride, thanks y’all
心臓を捧げよ!
We'll have additional pages in June!
Weird flex yams but ok
weirdly pog
Extra Hot Garbage.
Extra Mayonnaise
Extra Pain
I’d just like to say thank you to Isayama for changing my life with this show.
Only the Founder Ymir knows my thoughts.
I'm free
I hope Levi got his tea shop.
The world is cruel but also very beautiful.

The results are in! With 880 respondents (a massive jump from the 2019 poll!) who were given the ability to vote for up to 5 characters per person (3,274 votes total), you guys have decided who are the most liked characters from Attack on Titan within the community!
Of course, it is important to remember that this is only a sample size of the fandom, that all of these characters are loved, and that this was in no way intended to be contest. We were just curious where the characters currently stand in terms of fandom opinion!
The Top 10 AOT characters are:
1. Levi Ackerman 2. Reiner Braun 3. Hange Zoe 4. Eren Yeager 5. Armin Arlert 6. Jean Kirstein 7. Mikasa Ackerman 8. Erwin Smith 9. Pieck Finger 10. Zeke Yeager
For the rest of the results, please click here! (you may have to hover over the bars to see all character names)
Interesting trends to note from 2015′s poll, 2017′s poll and 2019′s poll:
This is the first poll that has knocked Annie Leonhart out of the Top 10.
This is the first poll where neither Ymir nor Historia have made the Top 10.
This is the first poll where Pieck Finger and Zeke Yeager ranked in the Top 10.
Hange has reclaimed the #3 slot after being pushed down to #5 in 2019.
This is the first poll where Armin has failed to make it into the Top 3. 
Since 2017, Reiner has managed to go from not even making the top 10 to ranking #2 in 2021. 
Related to the prior point, this is the first time anyone from the Warrior Trio has made the Top 3. 
Jean seems to always comfortably rank at either #6 or #7 over the years.
EMA have all lowered in rank since 2019, with Eren and Armin each being pushed down 2 ranks, and Mikasa being pushed down 3 ranks.
Related to the prior point, this is the lowest that both Armin and Mikasa have ranked in a tumblr poll.
Erwin Smith has also been pushed back down to #8, where he initially ranked in 2015.
This is the first poll where we actively encouraged promoting among multiple platforms, likely affecting the outcome more than the previous years’ polls. 
We may host one last poll sometime after the anime finale in 2022 if there is enough interest. :)
Thank you to everyone who participated!

RATE EPISODE 73: SAVAGERY 129 responses
Tumblr media
As expected, this highly anticipated episode didn’t fail to deliver and fans absolutely loved it, with over 95% giving it a 4-5 star rating. 
I loved the episode 73. The fight between Levi and Zeke was spectacular! The animation was 10/10, definitely worth watching. Good, old Kenny's theme brought memories back. I have to admit that Mappa made Levi look hundred times better and definitely more masculine. 
RATE EPISODE 74: SOLE SALVATION 128 responses
Tumblr media
While episode 74 generated slightly less enthusiasm across the board, it still managed to garner a high rating from respondents. 
when i read the manga version, i wasn't that much moved by zeke's backstory. but with the music, voice and color additions... it's fucking heartbreaking. mappa did an outstanding job. and the tension when he activated the thunder spear???? the animation? we were blessed. ALSO! the movement of the bodies when they threw the ball looked so realistic! it's a tiny detail that i loved.

WHICH WAS THE MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT OF EPISODE 73? 128 responses
Tumblr media
Levi vs. Zeke 2.0 got the largest piece of the pie, getting 23.4% of the vote. Behind that was the moment when Levi had to kill his comrades in titan form (14.8%), Armin punching Eren in the face (14.1%), Eren disparaging Armin and Mikasa (11.7%), and at 8.6%, that one screenshot of Armin the entire fandom was thirsting over. Shoutout to the person in the comments who wanted Mikasa to pin them down (the pollster writing this feels the same!).
💥🐒 mOnKe and Lebi 🍄and Jean go BOOM 🐎💥
For me, the real gem of EMA talk isn't that one Armin frame that everyone's going crazy about. It's the frame before it, that low angle of Mikasa half sitting on the table holding Armin down. Holy...I wanted to be Armin so bad right at that moment.
WHICH WAS THE MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT OF EPISODE 74? 127 responses
Tumblr media
35.4% felt the most memorable scene from this episode was the ending scene where Zeke triggers the thunderspear and sends Levi flying. Behind that was the moment where Zeke listens to Grisha yelling through the door (18.1%), Zeke and Ksaver coming up with the euthenasia plan together (8.7%) and Ksaver telling Zeke to sell out his parents (7.9%).
EPISODE 73 IS TITLED, “SAVAGERY.” OF THE OPTIONS BELOW, WHICH CHARACTER DO YOU THINK BEST EXEMPLIFIED THIS WORD? 128 responses
Tumblr media
In an episode filled with both verbal and physical violence, we asked which character you thought best exemplified the episode’s title. 35.2% felt that Eren was the worst offender with his words and actions against Armin and Mikasa. 29.7% felt that Levi’s violent acts against Zeke were deserving of the title “savagery.” Only 22.7% felt that Floch most suited the episode title, while just a small handful, 12.5%, felt that Zeke is the one most deserving of the term.
HOW BADLY DID YOU FEEL ABOUT LEVI HAVING TO KILL HIS OWN SQUAD? 127 responses
Tumblr media
The majority felt, on at least some level, sorrow for what Levi had to do in order to survive and catch up to Zeke. Though a small handful didn’t feel too bad for our Captain.
ON A SCALE OF 1-5, HOW WOULD YOU RATE LEVI VS. ZEKE 2.0? 127 responses
Tumblr media
In general, the fight received positive reception. Though it wasn’t all hype, as the highest ranking was actually a 4 and not a 5. It was hype, but not quite hype enough for us manga readers. 
I loved Levi vs Zeke 2.0 but they really should have used the instrumental version instead of K21, I laughed out loud when I heard that beacuse I felt like it took all the seriousness from the scene
levi and zeke goat
WHY DO YOU THINK FLOCH MADE THE RECRUITS BATTER INSTRUCTOR SHADIS? 128 responses
Tumblr media
The majority of respondents feel that Floch’s motivations are a mix of factors. For those who did think there was a more specific reason, though, 16.4% felt it’s simply a matter of Floch having a massive ego trip. 10.2% feel that Floch truly believes what he says about taking out the old and bringing in the new, and 7.8% believe Floch simply wanted to make an example out of Shadis (presumably alluding to the fate of those who resist the Yeagerists). 
He was testing if the recruits can go this far
He wants to intimidate people into joining his cause by using violence and threats of arrest and also make them feel empowered by his ideals.
Standard protocol when there's a change of regime, you'd want to eliminate the old guards' influence ASAP.  
That's how fascism works
All of the above and the fact that he's a fascist.
HOW CUTE WAS BITTY ZEKE? 130 responses
Tumblr media
After a long time waiting, we finally got to see child Zeke in animated form. The vast majority think he was cute as a button, ready to pinch his little baby cheeks! Only a small handful think bby Zeke is anything but cute.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT GRISHA’S TREATMENT OF ZEKE? 130 responses
Tumblr media
This chapter created more controversy surrounding Grisha after it’s publication. In general, fans still aren’t particularly proud of Grisha’s behavior. 36.9% felt that Zeke didn’t deserve any of the treatment he got from his father, and 24.6% outright want to give Grisha the award for worst parent in the entire series. 24.6% don’t approve of Grisha’s behavior, but they do empathize with the way Grisha must have felt. 10.8% feel that while he could have treated Zeke better, he also could have been much worse. 
Zeke was a sweet child but no child deserves to be treated like that regardless of how nice or well behaved they are. Grisha is disgusting.
Grisha was a large dick and asshole and he deserved the all punishment he got. 
Grisha is a terrible father but such a well written character 
it's crazy to me how people really thought grisha wasn't that in the wrong in terms of how he raised zeke.
DO YOU FEEL THAT ZEKE WOULD HAVE GROWN INTO AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT KIND OF PERSON IF GRISHA HAD TREATED HIM BETTER? 129 responses
Tumblr media
Just over half of respondents think it’s possible Zeke could have become a different kind of person if he’d had a brighter and happier childhood, though they didn’t want to say for sure as they feel that Grisha’s treatment wasn’t the sole reason why Zeke sees the world the way he does. 41.9% believe that the outcome of Zeke’s mindset would have been completely different. Only a few think that he would have come to the same conclusions about the world either way. 
Unless Grisha gives up being a restorationist I don't see it as better treatment, if he does then yes
Yes. The whole point for the euthanasia plan was that Eldian children don't have to go through what he went through.
WHO DO YOU THINK HAD A BIGGER IMPACT IN SHAPING ZEKE’S WORLDVIEW? 126 responses
Tumblr media
When it comes to “father figures” in Zeke’s life, 65.1% believe that Ksaver holds much more responsibility than Grisha does when it comes to the way Zeke views the world.
WHO TURNED OUT MORE LIKE GRISHA, IN YOUR OPINION? 128 responses
Tumblr media
Between Grisha’s two sons, 68% of respondents feel that Eren is the brother who turned out much more similarly to Grisha, leaving only 32% who feel the opposite and think Zeke ultimately turned out more like Grisha in the end (For those who are curious, 81% of anime-only fans feel that Eren is the one who turned out more like Grisha).
WHO WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO PUNCH IN THE FACE AFTER THESE EPISODES? 129 responses
Tumblr media
There was a lot that happened in these episodes that could have bred resentment from fans. From the options provided, 35.7% of respondents would most like to punch Floch in the face. 22.5% wish to channel their inner Armin and give Eren a sock to the face. 14.7% felt more visceral toward Grisha. 11.6% don’t want to punch anyone at all. For those who wanna punch the pollsters, meet us out back at 16:00 hours.
Floch sucks
HOW DO YOU FEEL FINALLY GETTING TO SEE THE PAINFUL EMA CONVERSATION IN ANIME FORM? 127 responses
Tumblr media
A lot has happened since chapter 112 published, but the chapter still continues to stick with us and spark conversation. With such a highly anticipated scene finally being animated, we wanted to know how you felt seeing the scene reimagined with music, voice acting and color. 29.9% just felt that the chapter hits much differently now after the contents of chapter 138. 25.2% had a much harder time watching the scene in anime form than they felt reading the manga. 12.6% felt even more strongly, expressing extreme heartbreak over E/MA’s breakup. Only a handful of respondents felt the scene hit much harder in the manga.
I'm over it, I felt nothing. Props to Yuki Kaji though, his voice acting is as amazing as ever.
I liked both manga and anime versions, but hearing Armin's sharp intakes of breath from being hit ;~; MY POOR BABY!
M M G H, boi
mmgh
There is no pain, only support for whatever horny animator drew that shot of Armin.
I love EMA emotionally destroying each other and Mappa made it SO FUCKING GOOD, I watched this scene like 100 times
Eren = me | Armin's fist = EMA scene punching me across my expressionless face | Mikasa = my anime-only gf
BEFORE THE FINAL CHAPTER HITS, WHAT DO YOU THINK WAS EREN’S “TRAIN OF THOUGHT” IN REGARDS TO HIS WORDS IN THIS CONVERSATION? 126 responses
Tumblr media
With the last chapter just over a week away, we’re hoping to finally get some closure in terms of Eren’s characterization and the choices he’s made. 42.9% believe that Eren chose to be cruel to his friends in the hope it would drive them to be willing to put an end to Eren’s life. 24.6% felt the opposite, hoping that Eren would push them into a corner where they wouldn’t interfere with his plan at all. 18.3% still aren’t sure what to think. Will we get answers, Isayama?!
He wants to "free" Mikasa and armin from himself because he knew he was gonna die
Probably the first option but there might be some truth to what he was saying.
He definitely wanted to push them away and antagonize them but I'm still not completely sure why. I don't feel we've gotten a satisfying explanation. 
He chose to be cruel to Mikasa and Armin in an attempt to make it so they wouldn't mourn him when he was dead and could be free of him entirely.
Eren still has heart warming feelings to Mikasa and - by being cruel - he wanted her to let him go (and most likely) kill him. His feelings to Armin however are much colder and they don't seem to like each other anymore. They are way too different. Armin and Eren are like two deities who will always fight each other.  
Like he said in 138, he wanted to push them away so they would move on from his death and live happily without him.
SOME DIALOGUE FROM THE EMA CONVERSATION WAS CUT OR SHORTENED. WHICH PART(S) DID YOU MISS THE MOST? 125 responses
Tumblr media
Due to time constraints, the EMA conversation took a big hit in terms of how much content was cut from it. Of the cuts we noticed, the dialogue snippets that were most missed by manga readers were; Eren bringing up Armin’s good judgement when they were younger, Eren telling Mikasa that the “real her” disappeared in the mountain cabin, the mention of Ackermans being a “byproduct” of titan science, and the mention that Ackermans manifest the power of titans in human form.
OVERALL, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE AFOREMENTIONED CUTS? 123 responses
Tumblr media
When it comes to how manga readers actually felt about the cuts in the EMA conversation, 35% agreed that they felt bitter about them, while still understanding that there was probably little other choice. 22% think it was just too watered down and cut down the impact significantly. 14.6% didn’t care, 11.4% felt the cuts were actually a positive thing, and 10.6% feel that the manga is simply just the superior medium for this series.
I find it interesting that the titan science stuff was cut and wonder if maybe Isayama agreed to those cuts bc he knows he won't have time to really explain in the last chapter of the manga.
Oof, too many important informations have been cut. 
I'm okay either way!
Although I would've loved to see all of those aforementioned cuts animated, I understand why they had to be cut in the first place, so I'm not bitter by it at all. I still think the conversation still had the impact it was intended to have.
I kind of understand why some dialogues would have to be cut but it lessened the impact of how Eren tried to hurt his friends which I personally think is too much even if he might have good intentions in doing so. I also like how MAPPA rearranges scenes to better fit the airtime limitation of each episode.
MAPPA CHANGED EREN’S EXPRESSION AFTER HE WAS CALLED OUT BY ARMIN. THOUGHTS? 127 responses
Tumblr media
A small change can impact a lot… or perhaps not. 34.6% felt let down by the change in Eren’s facial expression after Armin calls him out for hurting Mikasa, feeling that his original expression spoke volumes about his true feelings about what he’d done. 28.3% didn’t notice any change at all and so are unaffected. 15.7% are on a similar page and feel that there really wasn’t enough of a difference to gripe about anything, and 9.4% actually preferred the way MAPPA handled Eren in this snippet. 
as they did when mikasa calls him out in liberio, they harden his expressionstry to make him look like a heartless monster with no empathy for his friends. this expression hinted that he was hurt by telling all of that to his friends, so his self sacrifice motivations can be misunderstood by anime onlies, or worse: they may even think it comes out of nowhere.
The manga was just superior here, from his expression to the fact that Armin did manage to make him bleed. It was disappointing.
I read this chapter way too long ago, I don't remember this stuff 
He looks a lot more hurt and regretful in the Manga. Anime just looks annoyed.
Not a big deal to me. Manga is definitely superior though.
In the manga Eren was more human, while here we can clearly see his anger towards Armin's words.
THE ANIME ADAPTATION CUT OUT A BIT OF CONTEXT IN REGARDS TO LEVI STATING THAT THEY WILL FEED A YEAGERIST TO HISTORIA AFTER SHE GIVES BIRTH. DO YOU THINK THIS MAKES THINGS CONFUSING FOR THE ANIME-ONLIES? 123 responses
Tumblr media
Historia’s pregnancy plot continues to get the shaft (for better or for worse), with the mention of her eventually eating the Yeagerist that eats Zeke being cut out entirely. 39% of respondents felt that this was a poor choice on MAPPA’s part, feeling that it will make things confusing for anime only fans (“why would they feed Zeke to a Yeagerist?”). 26% feel the opposite, and think anime only fans should be able to put 2 and 2 together to realize where Levi was going with his idea. 22% aren’t sure if it actually makes things confusing, and 10.6% just don’t care. 
I'm not sure how confusing this makes it for anime-onlies but them cutting out mentions of her pregnancy makes it seem even less important than it already does.
That plan was shut down so quickly it doesn't matter
I don't/didn't really understand this. None of the Yeagerist have royal blood... maybe I'm missing something. I figured he was just joking? Bc, tactically, what does Historia eating a Yeagerist do or have to do with anything?
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE ADAPTATION OF THE ZEKE RUNNING PANEL? 124 responses
Tumblr media
When Zeke ran from Levi in the manga, the scene was memed to death. 46.8% of respondents weren’t disappointed in MAPPA’s adaptation and felt it was just as enjoyable as it was in the manga. 29.8% felt even more strongly, thinking MAPPA did an even better job than Isayama had done. 17.7% still prefer the manga version. 
It was funny in the manga but not in the anime and that's probably for the best given the weight of what's about to happen.
I  honestly don't remember the running panel lmao
Funny monke
HOW WELL WAS ZEKE’S BACKSTORY ADAPTED, IN YOUR OPINION? 126 responses
Tumblr media
60.3% felt that MAPPA did an incredible job with executing Zeke’s backstory in the anime, with the impact feeling even greater than it did in the original manga. 37.3% agree to a lesser degree, simply being pleased that it was faithful to the source material and feel thankful enough for that. Only a sliver of the pie felt that MAPPA didn’t deliver well on this or didn’t care. 
Made him too sympathetic/made grisha look even worse
MAPPA REPLACED THE MONKEY PLUSHIE WITH A RAM PLUSHIE IN KSAVER’S VISION. THOUGHTS? 125 responses
Tumblr media
We got a couple of Easter Eggs in this episode, with one of them being the inclusion of a ram plushie in place of the monkey doll that was in the manga. Knowing now that Ksaver’s Beast Titan was a ram, we were curious how many of you caught this. 55.2% absolutely loved the easter egg, and 31.2% just felt that it was neat. A few were confused, missed monke, or wanted to squish the adorable plushie. Baa!
I jumped out of my seat seeing that little fecker. I was literally like "...!!!! THE RAM!!! WE KNOW KSAVER'S TITAN NOW SO THEY PUT IN A RAM!! YOU..!!! ISAYAMAAAAA!!" It was hilarious XD
THE DOLLS IN KSAVER’S VISION APPEAR TO RESEMBLE ARMIN, MIKASA AND HISTORIA. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS? 121 responses
Tumblr media
Aside from the ram plushie were also dolls that some thought seemed to resemble Armin, Mikasa and Historia. We got very mixed responses on this question. 20.7% felt that it was simply just a fun easter egg and didn’t hold any kind of narrative meaning. 19% were unsure what to think at all. 16.5% think the third doll actually represents Ymir Fritz and not Historia. 15.7% felt it was meant to represent the three people Eren is working hardest to protect, and 9.1% didn’t think they represented anything. 
i thought that was ymir fritz, zeke, and either eren or levi
I think the two dolls inside the box look more like Gabi and Falco but I'm not sure who the doll with the pink dress is, Ymir Fritz maybe?
I didn't even notice this, lmao. I'm bored of overthinking things like this, there's one chapter left y'all.
Oh, I thought it was Eren, Zeke and Ymir lol.
Reminds me of the Eren doll in the Lost Girls OVA. 
The box represents those who we will see in the final chapter. Sorry Historia :'(
All of the above xD
The doll isn't Historia - It's Ymir Frtiz - and her position under the wagon means that Eren values Mikasa and Eren more than Ymir/anything else. I think the wagon is also significant to that bit where Eren confessed to the squad that they were the most important people in his life, and that he doesn't want anything bad to happen to them.
EREN TELLS ZEKE, “I’LL PUT AN END TO 2,000 YEARS OF TITAN DOMINATION.” EVEN AFTER EVERYTHING, DO YOU BELIEVE IT’S POSSIBLE THAT THIS WAS HIS TRUE INTENTION, AND THAT HE CAN STILL BE THE ONE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN? 122 responses
Tumblr media
Will there be a final twist in the series finale? 34.4% seem to think so, hoping that Eren’s words will ring true and he will somehow abolish titans from the world. 23% feel similarly, though they think he knew his actions would lead to the catalyst to rid titans from the world, rather than him doing it himself. 12.3% feel the opposite, and think Eren was simply just lying to Zeke about bringing an end to the titan power, and 9.8% think he’s just too dead at this point to accomplish anything. 19.7% aren’t sure what to predict. 
Yes, ending the era of titans and setting Eldians free is one of Eren's goals.
GIVEN THAT ZEKE’S FLASHBACK ELEMENTS FROM 115 WERE ALSO ADAPTED IN THIS CHAPTER, DO YOU THINK THE FINAL EPISODE WILL HAVE ANY ANIME-ONLY SCENES? 124 responses
Tumblr media
The episode has already aired and we can now confirm that there were no additional scenes. 41.9% were correct in their hunch that the remaining contents would be enough to fill an entire episode - in fact, they didn't even end up animating all of it! What about Levi and Hange?!
Since we won't reach Ch. 121 or 122 I don't really care. 
Since Mappa took over, not anymore :(
What tou MEAN ”the final episode”?!
HOW DO YOU FEEL KNOWING THAT ANIME ONLY FANS WON’T HAVE A SOLID ANSWER ON LEVI’S FATE FOR MONTHS? 127 responses
Tumblr media
We didn’t expect this question to come off as cruel as it now feels after MAPPA didn’t even throw us a bone in episode 75 about Levi’s fate. That being said, 29.1% are ready to snack on their popcorn while they watch anime onlies worry and theorize over Levi’s fate. 21.3% are simply feeling mischievous. 9.4% think it’s cruel to take any delight in anime watchers’ woes, as we also had to experience the same thing for several months. 33.9% think it will be next to impossible for anime only fans to avoid being spoiled about Levi’s fate. 
It should be fairly obvious he's alive when they show Hange jumping in the river with him next episode.
Good. I think most of them will assume he's not dead yet though.
Maybe it will inspire some of them to read the manga to find out.
Ugh, I hope they won't be complaining as much as the manga readers did even though it was obvious he's not dead.
THE PREVIEW ONLY REVEALED ONE SCENE TO US. SO INSTEAD, WHICH MOMENT FROM CHAPTER 115/116 ARE YOU MOST ANTICIPATING? 126 responses
Tumblr media
31% of respondents were most looking forward to the moment where Pieck declared Eren as the enemy. 23% had most anticipated seeing Ymir revive Zeke (rip) and 19.8% were most looking forward to seeing Hange dive into the river with Levi’s injured body (double rip). 10.3% were most anticipating the scene with Eren, Pieck and Gabi in the jail room, and 7.1% were most hyped about Marley’s airships showing up onto the scene.
WE’VE ONLY GOT ONE EPISODE LEFT FOR THIS RUN! HOW ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT IT? 125 responses
Tumblr media
59.2% were feeling hyped to get an announcement about a part 2 of the season. 24%, on the other hand, are bummed out and have a new void to fill in their heart while they wait. 11.2% feel similarly and on a greater level… the seasons between the SnK anime seasons are just the worst anime seasons of all!
Too distracted by manga-ending-anxiety to feel much about it
Disappointed. It's not actually the final season.
I'm ready for this season of heartbreak to be over thank you just put me out of my misery and stop dragging me along behind the car
I can't believe it's near ending already
DO YOU THINK WE WILL GET AN ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT THE NEXT ANIME INSTALLMENT NEXT WEEK? 122 responses
Tumblr media
54.1% of respondents were hopeful for a part 2 announcement and the good news is that MAPPA didn’t let them down. 19.7% were right on the nose with this one!
ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS ON THE EPISODES?
GOAT
The scene with Levi's comrades turning into Titans was one of the most visually stunning moments for me; the whole panning out throughout as they all started turning sort of gave me chills. Levi's reaction to it all, and ultimately having to kill them too was heartbreaking. Honestly that entire scene was quite gripping. I hate to admit that watching it in anime form has sort of solidified me resonating with Zeke in regards to his relationship with Grisha. Dude just wanted to spend time with his freaking dad and instead went through all of that, I don't blame him for the resentment at all. Still a douche for some of the stuff he's done. And ersonally I prefer him over Eren. Eren never went through that kind of treatment from Grisha and ended up... like that. Also!!!!!! Love me some Bertholdt crumbs, thank you Mappa! God, I miss him. :(
The removal of mostly anything mentioning titan scientists/research and Ackermans being a byproduct of titan science makes me wonder if Isayama regretted introducing that. I was already disappointed the manga didn't expand on that and the anime made it worse. Almost nonexistent tbh. Loved seeing Zeke's backstory, like all the other children in this series, he deserved better.
The ost during Floch's speech was brilliant. Young Zeke and Grisha VAs also. Makes me want to adopt Zeke right there. Not sure if Pieck and Porco already appeared as background characters (in ep 13&14) there were some figures that looked like them so I can't wait for the next episode! 
Nah, I just loved them 
These were one of the best of the season!
i just want more, also i loved MAPPA's style so far
In those episodes, the emotions weren't as strong as in the manga. I didn't feel much. And for the EMA talk... well, I liked Eren's neutral expression in the manga better, it was more fitted. And the animation of his "fight" with Armin was absolutely terrible, and it's sad to say that when you know that Mappa can do so much better.
*points at Zeke* WITNESSED!! 
MAPPA stans Armin, it shows, and I am 100% here for it. 
Being aware if latest chapters, I see young Zeke with different eyes
Mappa has done a fabulous job so far. The only thing I hoped for is that they should not have made the face difference so obvious from previous seasons to the last one, for the benefit of anime-only people. Yes, they stayed true to the manga, but their animators had to have control over it, which is what happened in S1 where girls had some sort of gloss on their lips and Yams requested for them to be removed in succeeding episodes.. that tells me that the animators/mappa have some semblance of control over how the characters look 
I think MAPPA is doing a good job with the episodes.
Feels. That is all.
I really loved how Mappa executed that scene wint Ksaver's wife's murder/suicide. In the manga, they just outright depict it happening in the room. In the anime, they blended it in with the present surroundings. It literally gave me the chills. I do worry that the missing dialogue from the EMA scene, especially Eren explaining how Mikasa's dedication to him is nothing but science. I also worry about him not mentioning the slave/freedom thing, bc afaik the dialogue in the leaked panel of 139 says ""you are free"", and I always thought it was gonna be related to that.

WHICH WAS THE MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT OF EPISODE 73? 43 responses
Tumblr media
The pie for episode 73 was rather colorful! 23.3% most enjoyed the much anticipated Levi vs. Zeke 2.0. 20.9% thought seeing Levi having to fight his own comrades in titan form was the most memorable moment of the episode. At a tie for 14% people thought Eren disparaging his friends and Eren beating up Armin had the biggest impact in this episode. 9.3% felt the biggest impact by seeing Armin punch Eren in the face, while another 7% were most impacted by Levi’s brutality against Zeke as he filleted his legs.
WHICH WAS THE MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT OF EPISODE 74? 43 responses
Tumblr media
The scene that stuck most with anime watchers was Zeke detonating the thunder spear and sending Levi flying, with 51.2% of respondents giving their vote to the closing scene of the episode. 11.6% felt the most impacted by the scene of Zeke listening to Grisha yelling at Dina through the door, and another 11.6% felt the reveal of Zeke’s euthanasia plan is the detail that stuck out the most. 7% seemed most affected by the Yeager Brothers’ secret conversation.
EPISODE 73 IS TITLED, “SAVAGERY.” OF THE OPTIONS BELOW, WHICH CHARACTER DO YOU THINK BEST EXEMPLIFIED THIS WORD? 42 responses
Tumblr media
The episode’s title, “Savagery” can most certainly be attributed to one of the characters on screen, so it’s no surprise that there was differing opinion on which character exemplified that. The plurality (47.6%) chose to go with Levi, perhaps due to his arguably cruel treatment of Zeke after his victory. Eren was the runner up with 31%, probably due to the cruel nature of his words to Mikasa and Armin. The rest of the votes went to Shadis’ nemesis, Floch and a few to Zeke himself (Titanization Man).
HOW BADLY DID YOU FEEL ABOUT LEVI HAVING TO KILL HIS OWN SQUAD? 43 responses

WHY DO YOU THINK FLOCH MADE THE RECRUITS BATTER INSTRUCTOR SHADIS? 43 responses
Tumblr media
Floch’s actions in Episode 73 focused on Instructor Shadis and the takeover of the Training Facility, culminating in Keith’s beatdown. We asked you why you believe Floch made the cadets do so. 34.9% of respondents thought that it was due to Floch having an ego trip, as Shadis said himself. 14% thought that it truly was due to Floch believing in Shadis representing the old order, necessary to “purge”. Finally, some select folks believed that Floch wanted to make an example out of the Instructor. Finally, another 34.9% of respondents said that all of the aforementioned reasons were valid to a degree.
HOW CUTE WAS BITTY ZEKE? 42 responses
Tumblr media
Little Zeke has appeared multiple times in Episode 15 and what better way to make one feel sympathy for someone than portraying them as a cute kid? 78.6% thought Zeke was exceptionally cute, giving a score of 4 or 5 (mostly 5s). The rest were less thrilled, though there were only two 1s.
lil baby zeke is so cute
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT GRISHA’S TREATMENT OF ZEKE? 43 responses
Tumblr media
Grisha’s treatment of Zeke during his childhood is perhaps one of the most important events when it comes to shaping Yeager Junior’s view on the world. We asked how you felt about that. 27.9% stated that they felt much sympathy for Zeke and believed he deserved none of it. Another 27.9% sympathized with Zeke, but didn’t hold too much blame over Grisha due to his precarious position. A little over 25% went even further called Grisha the worst parent in the series. Quite a lot of those in AoT/SnK. 11.6% were more mild and simply chastised Grisha for his treatment. One person said that they didn’t care for Zeke’s struggles at all and we also received 2 write-ins.
Grisha's intentions were good, but the way he treated Zeke was not
I get that he doesn't want anyone else to suffer the same tragic and horrific fate that Fay did, but I still wanted to reach through the TV screen and smack the life outta Grisha
DO YOU FEEL THAT ZEKE WOULD HAVE GROWN INTO AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT KIND OF PERSON IF GRISHA HAD TREATED HIM BETTER? 43 responses
Tumblr media
An interesting what-if comes when asked about the possibility of Zeke being treated differently by his father in his childhood and how that would affect Zeke’s view of the world. 53.5% believe that even if Grisha treated Zeke differently, it’s not possible to say if Yeager Junior’s worldview would be completely different since there were other factors. In contrast, 32.6% think that his perspective would have been totally divergent from the one we’ve seen. 9.3% weren’t sure and we also received 2 write-ins.
Zeke is who he is because of his childhood, it includes Grsiha's treatment but also his grand parents and Ksaver. If we take off one piece of hid childhood, he would have been another person. 
If the circumstances were right, possibly. But that would take a hell of a lot of trauma.
WHO DO YOU THINK HAD A BIGGER IMPACT IN SHAPING ZEKE’S WORLDVIEW? 43 responses
Tumblr media
Just under 70% believe Ksaver had a bigger impact on shaping Zeke’s viewpoint on existence, in contrast to a little over 30% who think Grisha was the bigger pull here.
WHO TURNED OUT MORE LIKE GRISHA, IN YOUR OPINION? 42 responses
Tumblr media
It is also interesting to note the comparison between the two Yeager Brothers and how much influence their father had on them. Overwhelmingly, 81% believe that Eren turned out to be more like Grisha in his nature versus 19% who think that Zeke received such honor (or dishonor, if you so choose to believe). 
WHO WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO PUNCH IN THE FACE AFTER THESE EPISODES? 42 responses
Tumblr media
We decided to give the respondents an out for their frustrations by allowing them to choose a person to a punch! The “golden” dishonor went to Floch, with 35.7%, which was followed by Eren with 16.7% and the author of the original work himself, Isayama Hajime, also with 16.7%. Geisha received the bronze and 14.3% of the vote. Zeke and especially Levi were less popular options. In contrast, 7.1% stated that they had no interest in punching anyone. Also, no one expressed a desire to physically assault us, the pollsters. Thanks!
HAVE THE EVENTS THAT HAVE TRANSPIRED CHANGED YOUR OPINION ON EREN? 42 responses
Tumblr media
Was Eren’s shocking behavior enough to change some opinions about his overall character? 31% of viewers stand firm in their love and support for Eren and agree that his actions haven’t changed their feelings at all. 26.2% are feeling a little more dicey, wanting to see more of his development before deciding if he’s really worthy of their support or not. 9.5% have changed their opinion on him and see him more negatively, though on the flipside… 7.1% feel the opposite, stating they didn’t like him before but are now watching with curiosity. 
I dont know
I’m mad about what’s happening HOWEVER, that is my man ✨😌
I like him increasingly since the beginning of the story. His development is fantastic. Best character.
I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, but not anymore. This ain't it chief
WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT THE EMA TALK? 42 responses
Tumblr media
The majority of viewers were genuinely shaken by this scene, with 38.1% feeling that there is nothing but pain on the road ahead, while another 23.8% are already actively wailing at the apparent death of EMA’s bond. 21.4% are simply in disbelief at Eren’s treatment of his friends. A small handful actually enjoyed Eren eviscerating his friends, while another handful didn’t really have an opinion either way. 
It was awesome. Isayama lets us build our opinion without any sign of "look, that's the good way to think"
I can excuse the whole raid of Liberio and mass murder thing, but beating up Armin? Telling Mikasa he hates her? That's where I draw the line
I am soulless. For Eren to go from sharing his dreams of the future with Armin and Mikasa to threatening them like enemies broke me. Easily the hardest part of the anime to watch to date.
DO YOU THINK THAT EREN IS CORRECT ABOUT ARMIN BEING MANIPULATED BY BERTOLT? 41 responses
Tumblr media
More than half of respondents believe that there is some truth to what Eren is saying, but that he’s not wholly correct. 26.8% feel that Eren is dead wrong about Bertolt affecting Armin. In equal parts of 9.8%, fans either feel that Eren knows what he’s talking about, or aren’t sure what to think.
DO YOU THINK EREN IS RIGHT ABOUT THE NATURE OF THE ACKERMAN CLAN? 42 responses
Tumblr media
Similarly to the previous question, more than half of respondents feel that there is only some truth in what Eren is saying about the Ackerman clan. Though, the opposite of people’s views on his words to Armin, 28.6% actually think what Eren said about the Ackerman clan is the whole truth. 9.5% think he’s full of it, and 7.1% aren’t sure. 
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT EREN’S EXPLANATION OF THE ACKERMANS’ POWERS? 42 responses
Tumblr media
45.2% of viewers feel that Eren’s explanation of the Ackerman power is a somewhat positive thing, and that it adds more layers onto the relationships that our Ackerman characters have with others. 16.7% are just happy to have any kind of explanation at all and think it makes perfect sense. On the flipside, another 16.7% feel that everything Eren said wasn’t true and are reserving judgement for further story development. 14.3% absolutely hate Eren’s explanation of the Ackerman power and feel it cheapens the bond characters like Mikasa and Levi have with others. 
Kenny said it : "Everyone was a slave to something". It makes perfect sense. 💯
DOES EREN BELIEVE THE CRUEL WORDS HE SAID TO ARMIN AND MIKASA? 42 responses
Tumblr media
More than half of respondents still have some faith in Eren and believe that he wasn’t being his true self when talking with Armin and Mikasa. 23.8% don’t want to say either way for sure if these feelings are genuine. 19% think that Eren believes every word he said and truly feels his way toward his friends now.
EREN SAYS HE IS FREE. ARMIN SAYS EREN IS A SLAVE. WHAT DO YOU THINK? 42 responses
Tumblr media
When it comes to whether Eren is truly free, or if he’s actually enslaved by something or someone else, 33.3% feel that it’s a combination of the two options. 19% believe that he’s somehow being controlled by previous holders of the titan powers he possesses, while another 19% aren’t sure what to think. 16.7% believe Eren is free, and that when he says everything he does is of his own will, that he is right.
WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN TO MIKASA NOW? 42 responses
Tumblr media
Eren was particularly hurtful to Mikasa, a character who has been nothing but loyal and caring toward him for the entire duration of their friendship. Many fans would like to see her develop away from him, but is this moment the catalyst for such development? 57.1% seem to feel that she will grow from this experience, though it would be impossible for her to stop caring about Eren despite his poor treatment of her. 11.9% feel the opposite, and think that she won’t grow from this experience, but rather that it will hinder her, and she will be forever broken. 9.5% believe that despite Eren’s cruelty, she will continue to have unwavering faith in him. Small handfuls either felt she will move past this and become her own person without Eren impacting her anymore, or that she will grow to deeply resent Eren as a result of his actions toward her.
EREN TALKS ABOUT HOW MIKASA’S HEADACHES ARE A SIDE EFFECT OF HER ACKERMAN GENES. LEVI IS SEEN GRABBING HIS HEAD IN THE EPISODE PRIOR. DO YOU THINK HE’S ALSO HAVING AN ACKER-HEADACHE AT THAT MOMENT? 42 responses
Tumblr media
Levi is seen grabbing his head for the first time in the series just before Eren mentions Acker-headaches are a thing. 57.1% believe that Levi is, indeed, having a headache, giving more credibility to Eren’s words. Versus 42.9% who believe that Levi wasn’t having a headache in that scene, and was simply just grabbing his head.
HANGE AND PIXIS HAVEN’T SPOKEN SINCE THE WINE PLOT WAS REVEALED, SO HOW DOES PIXIS KNOW ABOUT THE WINE? 41 responses
Tumblr media
39% of viewers feel that Pixis couldn’t have been aware of the wine, but that he was sure that Zeke would somehow try to pull a stunt like turning the people of Paradis into titans. 24.4% think it’s possible that Yelena had already confessed about the wine plot to him during their earlier conversation. 22% think he just doesn’t know about the wine and didn’t know Zeke could even do such a thing. 
I have no idea. I didn’t even consider this.
DO YOU THINK THAT PIXIS AND NILE ARE DESTINED TO BECOME PURE TITANS, NOW THAT WE KNOW THEY INGESTED THE WINE? 41 responses

YOUR THOUGHTS ON FLOCH? 42 responses
Tumblr media

Everyone's saying 'Fuck Gabi' but I've been screaming 'Fuck Floch' with my whole chest since the end of season 3...he receives all of my hate LMAO
FUCK FLOCH
I have fostered an visceral hatred for him since the moment he was introduced and honestly now I'm just glad it's justified
WE’LL ASK AGAIN, DO YOU THINK EREN IS TRULY WORKING WITH THE YEAGERISTS? 42 responses
Tumblr media
40.5% believe that Eren is working with the Yeagerists, but with a different goal than the one they think he has. 16.7% don’t think he’s working with them at all and that it’s just a narrative ruse. 14.3% don’t know what to make of this connection just yet, and 9.5% refuse to believe anything until they see Eren giving orders to the Yeagerists directly.
HISTORIA HAS REMAINED OUT OF THE PICTURE IN THE CURRENT TIMELINE. WHERE DO YOU THINK HER LOYALTIES MAY LIE? 41 responses

IF ZEKE HAD EXPLAINED HIS PLAN TO LEVI, DO YOU THINK THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO HAVE A DIALOGUE, RATHER THAN JUST OPPOSE EACH OTHER? 42 responses
Tumblr media
A solid 50% of viewers think that there is no way Zeke and Levi would ever be able to share a dialogue about the solution to Eldia’s problems. 31% are less sure, thinking it’s possible it could go either way, while 16.7% believe that they could have talked out their problems if only they had chosen to try and trust one another.

Tumblr media
A total of 64.3% of respondents seem to enthusiastically support Levi’s treatment toward Zeke, with 33.3% specifically agreeing with the sentiment of “Good for him!” While another 31% feel that Zeke absolutely had this coming and can’t fault Levi for his actions. 26.2% are still in support of Levi’s decision to fillet Zeke’s legs, though they do agree the action was a bit on the cruel side. Only a small handful either felt disappointed in Levi or supported Zeke in setting off the thunderspear. 
very very satisfying

WAS ZEKE’S CHOICE TO TURN IN HIS PARENTS JUSTIFIED? 41 responses
Tumblr media
41.5% believe that Zeke was justified in turning in his parents as it was able to protect himself and his grandparents - innocent parties that would have otherwise been in trouble - from going down with Grisha, Dina and the restorationists. 22% believe that he was justified because his parents’ poor treatment toward them deserved some kind of consequence. 19.5% feel the other way, however, and believe that Zeke should have let his parents know Marley was closing in on them. Another 14.6% believe that Zeke could have figured out another way to prevent his parents from being sent to Paradis. 
Mixed feelings.
IN A STORY FILLED WITH TRAGIC CHILDHOOD BACKSTORIES, WHERE DOES ZEKE’S RANK? 41 responses
Tumblr media
Nearly half of the fandom agree that Zeke’s childhood backstory is toward the top of the list of the most tragic ones in this series, but not quite enough to claim the title of “the absolute worst.” 26.8% agree that his backstory was pretty bad, but still can’t empathize with his current actions or his goal. 22% believe that he didn’t have it any better or worse than anyone else in the series, and only a small sliver feel that Zeke is truly deserving of the “most tragic character” award.
KSAVER TELLS ZEKE THAT DINA AND GRISHA NEVER LOVED HIM. THOUGHTS? 42 responses

WHAT CONDITION DO YOU THINK LEVI IS IN PHYSICALLY? 42 responses

So MAPPA really left us in the dark on this one. With lots of time to speculate, we were curious what you thought about his physical condition after the explosion. 33.3% believe that he is likely missing a part, or parts, of his body after the impact. 19% think it isn’t as bad, with just some scratches or scrapes. 11.9% believe that Levi is going to be just fine (he’s an Ackerman after all, right?!), while a smaller handful have assumed the worst and believe when we see him next, he will be confirmed as dead. 
He’s FINE everything’s FINE
HOW DID THESE EPISODES MAKE YOU FEEL ABOUT THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERS?
Tumblr media
The 5 characters that we listed had the biggest focus in these episodes (typically in a controversial light) so we wanted to see how opinions may have changed.
The characters who seem to have received more negative backlash were Grisha and Floch, with Eren trailing behind them. Zeke and Levi were viewed more favorably when all was said and done. Though for unchanged opinions, Eren and Levi seem to have hit more in the middle than the other characters did. Grisha appears to have netted no positive feelings.
WE’VE ONLY GOT ONE EPISODE LEFT FOR THIS RUN! HOW ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT IT? 42 responses
Tumblr media
When it comes to the feelings of respondents about the anime ending, we’ve gotten a multitude of responses. A plurality, 45.2% had a more positive view, looking forward to the Part 2 announcement. Close behind were 42.9% who expressed their frustration at the loss of a source of entertainment on Sundays. Less popular responses focused on open despair (due to the anime ending) and in contrast to the rest of the respondents, one person expressed disappointment in this entire season. We’ve also received one write-in. 
I’ve already started up the manga, I couldn’t wait for the last episode and I certainly can’t wait for part 2 lol
DO YOU THINK WE WILL GET AN ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT THE NEXT ANIME INSTALLMENT NEXT WEEK? 43 responses
Tumblr media
We’ve asked the respondents whether they believed we were going to get a Part 2 announcement the week of the final episode. Now we know that to be the case, it is interesting to look back. 67.5% expressed hope in seeing that announcement with 41.9% (overall) feeling a bit cautiously optimistic, in contrast to the 25.6% (overall) seeing conviction. In contrast, 30.2% were not so sure, with 20.9% (also overall) not feeling too hopeful and 9.3% (again, overall) were lacking any expectations at all. Now we know that the former folks were pessimistic for no reason. Yay. 
Please MAPPA I need this :,(
ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS ON THE EPISODES?
Tears
The reveal of Zeke's backstory has shown us once again that in AoT, there is no black and white but multiple shades of gray and that people like Zeke and Levi can be savage despite having noble intentions. It's sad that Eren and Armin would have to fight like that and I'm annoyed that Mikasa chose to hurt Armin when he punched Eren for her. It's like she has shown that what Eren was saying about her is true.
No other thoughts just sad :(
Pain.
I know Zeke is no ordinary Man. Everyone thinking"oh Zeke boy evil, cruel, throwing something" ı think always not Just that simple. Because ı saw, he sells patents, its really Hard choice for 7 8 years old boy. 
the recent episodes have been amazing and Isayama has by far the sexiest brain out of all creators, period
I was shocked to find out that Ksaver told Zeke to turn in his parents. I honestly thought Zeke was just feeling bold that day LOL but ya excellent episodes, 5/5 for both! As always, thank you MAPPA for the food<3
I am Scared and Sad and I can't wait for the next one

RATE THE CHAPTER 4,255 responses
Tumblr media
On the 1-5 scale this penultimate chapter averaged 4.44 placing it at 22 of the 48 chapters we’ve ranked, which makes the chapter fairly average in terms of enjoyment. What wasn’t average was the number of responses we received. The 4255 responses this month wallops our previous record high of 2187.
*ahem* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
A great whiplash of emotions after a streak of "the alliance got away too easy" moments. Whatever happens next chapter, I feel the journey has made everything worth it.
After having passionately followed this story for years, I feel broken in the most beautiful way and that last panel will haunt me for years.
Blows my mind how Isayama can still surprise us. I did not see that Eldian/titan twist coming.
Feels like Isayama set a goal of "x chapters to finish the series" and stuck to it, but i think it could have needed 1 or 2 more chapters. Maybe my opinion will change after the final one, i hope.
It was fucking dark and finale was somewhat disturbing. Exactly what I've expected from the  AOT finale.
I cried like a child
I find impressive how Yams keeps surprising me even now, this chapter was completely unpredictable in a good way. I will miss AoT.
I SWEAR IF EREN IS ACTUALLY DEAD I AM GOING TO BE IN SO MUCH PAIN.
I— I'm speechless...
  WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING WAS YOUR FAVORITE MOMENT? 4,271 responses
Tumblr media
Jean and Connie’s moment of bromance took the top spot this month with nearly a third of the fandom selecting it.  In second place was the resolution to chapter one’s “See you later, Eren” mystery (16.5% ).  Eren and Mikasa’s peaceful alternate reality was the third most popular selection (14.6%)
"See you later, Eren." finally... It was everything I could have hoped for, but didn't because predicting things in this manga is freaking impossible!
love the disturbing final panel
Against all odds Levi survived another round of Isayama's reverse russian roulette. Hence the chapter was not as bad as it could have been.
annie reuniting with her dad is heartbreaking and so underrated when talking about the chapter!!!!
Jean and Connie's calm acceptance to their fate made me cry.
As we say in Spanish: “todo es bronca, dolor y sufrimiento” t-t I was really sad for 3 days in a row cuz I can’t stop thinking about Connie and Jean. :(
Eremika finally canon
Eren and Armin titan fight was amazing, i mean not the fight like physically but the emotion that i feel when i read it.
Falco saying he'll make his brother proud made me ugly-cry, I miss colt aswell. I hope the curse of Ymir ends, and Ymir fritz learns something
i think having mikasa dedicating her entire life to protect eren only to have her being the one killing him is pretty good writing. i really like it.
Jean and Connie transforming was no doubt the best part of the chapter, I'm still kinda weirded out about Mikasa kiss in the end but after some time it's acceptable
Mikasa getting her kiss in the cruelest way possible. Darn you Yams let the kids be happy
  WHO WAS THIS CHAPTER'S MVP? 4,257 responses
Tumblr media
MVP Mikasa! Was there any doubt? We shared the poll data with a friend who factored the MVP in terms of chapter ranking. It was fun to see that Mikasa won across all groups except for those who selected a 1 in “Rate the Chapter”. Their top pick was the Shiny Centipede.
Danggit Mikasaaaa
MIKASA ONE OF THE BEST WRITTEN CHARACTERS IN AOT I LOVE HER SO MUCH 😭❤️
Ackermans new Helos- checked.
DING DONG EREN IS DEAD
Mikasa Supermacy
  OK… IS EREN DEAD THIS TIME? 4,275 responses
Tumblr media
After more fakeouts than a comic superhero, Eren may finally be dead.  BUT IS HE?  Most fans, at just about ⅔ think his body is done for but we’ll seem him in paths or something similar, while 20.1% think he’s gonna live to see another day.  Only 12% think he’s fully dead and gone.
Eren isn’t dead, and neither is the Power of the Titans.
He might be not dead after all, though him dyuing in that frame explains why Ymir is smiling - he finally achieved what he strived towards and (maybe) so did she.
Eren aint dead broooo cmon
Eren isn't dead. All I care about
Now that Eren is dead I believe Historia’s child will be the reincarnation of Eren and the final panel is their way of telling Eren he achieved his freedom and that he is free.
I believe Eren is really dead physically but will make an appearance in paths and explains his plan to Armin and Mikasa and he pulls a Lelouch. His being defeated by the alliance makes the rest of the world make peace with the eldians since they saved them from Eren Jaeger. At the end Eren is holding his daughter which is a reincarnated Ymir in Paths and he says You Are Free
I think Eren's dead at this point, we might get last words from him in the Paths but I'm satisfied if we don't.
eren isn't really dead and he used the founding titan and is injecting memories and thoughts into the alliance making them think they have won which is why we haven't gotten an eren pov
I hope eren is life not dead and mikasa
  WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON EVERYONE BEING TURNED INTO TITANS? 4,252 responses
Tumblr media
There were complaints of not enough deaths in this fight… are you happy now?  Look what you’ve done!  62.3% feel the twist was dreadful and loved the pain, 16.7% just want a happy ending for this squad, and 9.9% felt it was unnecessary shock value.  
Death cult vibes. What are we supposed to learn from this?
A great way to put the pain in this chapter, but somehow I think it's too much
Depression on whole other level
It is both a dreadful twist and karmic retribution.
I think it was necessary for the plot, so that Mikasa will remain as the only one who could kill Eren at the very end, and it saddens me to death.
About time we got some consequences. Was starting to think no one would die.
good to see warrior have some consequences
Gut-wrenching in a good way - expecting Titan's Power to be destroyed next chapter and reverse this though
Absolute trash. They’ll all live anyways
i sobbed myself to sleep because of jean and connie. isayama needs to pay for my therapy.
I'm torn. On one hand, I liked because I was complaining about the lack of deaths in this final arc. Until chapter 138, only two members of the alliance had died (both veterans), so it was starting to feel like the alliance wasn't in any danger. On the other hand, I disliked because killing a bunch of important characters all at the same time and without giving a spotlight to each of them, feels like a rushed ending. Gabi, a character that was build like a protagonist, got turned into a titan without saying a word. As much as I hate her, I also don't like the idea of losing so many characters in such a disappointing manner.
NO WORDS CAN FREAKING DESCRIBE THE PAIN AND EMOTIONS I WENT THROUGH. But Hands down to Isayama. That genius 🙌🏼
Jean and Connie wanted to feed Falco to a Titan. Now they turned into Titans. You get what you fucking deserve 👌 They will probably stay dead, as their last dialogue implies this is their end. At least, I hope so...
  WILL THE TITANIZED ELDIANS BE REVERTED? 4,245 responses
Tumblr media
One chapter to resolve this issue... how will it end?  In a pretty even split, 40.4% think the curse will end and they’ll all revert to humans, 39.4% think some will revert by eating shifters, and 20.3% think every one of them will die as titans.
Gonna be reversible once the centipede is dead
They'll be fine. Plot armor always wins, and Gabi has the most.
Great twist, but they’ll turn back next chapter. Or am fooling myself haha
I don't know. Hopefully Isayama has something up his sleeve for this.
i need gabi and falco to be together after all this like falco poor kid has been through all this and won't even get to be with her
Milking the fandom for reaction before the curse ends and they all turn back
Isayama always does fakeouts, it'll be undone with talk mo jutsu
I expect them to be turned back and I'm preemptively disappointed about it.
I hope they'll turn back to humans after the titan curse is lifted when hallu-chan dies
I'm hoping that they'll turn back into humans again hopefilly in the last chapter
It makes sense for Connie and Jean to go out like that even though it stings, I think Gabi is coming back though
if gabi doesn’t inherit one of the nice i’ll lose it
  THERE’S ALWAYS THE POSSIBILITY OF A TITANIZED CHARACTER COMING BACK BY EATING A SHIFTER. WHO DO YOU THINK WILL RETURN, AND WHICH TITAN MIGHT THEY EAT TO DO IT? 2,778 responses
The most popular write-ins here were Gabi at a whopping 768, Jean becoming the armored at 276, and more specific Gabi answers with the armored at 79 and jaw at 33.
104th stans stop seeing the warriors as devices to resurrect your faves challenge
Annie might force feed herself to her father idk
Armored Gabi Gang
Falco will sacrifice himself to save Gabi as he promised to Reiner
Don't know who's donna turn back back but I'm sure reiner is the one who will be eaten.
CONNER
Cummer is gonna eat Annies ass
Either Gabi or Jean or both is gna eat a shifter. Connie is the deadest mf I've ever seen.
Annie might get eaten since I think her arc with her father has somewhat come to a close, though timing was so cruel that they never actually got to embrace
connie eats annie and falls in love with armin and jean eats pieck to make jeanpiku canon
Hate to say this but maybe Jean cause he bite Reiner's nape
I ain’t seen Bertholt in a hot minute, don’t know who he might eat though.
Armin dies for jean
Gabi eating Leinah
Gabi because of her ridiculous plot armour, will eat reiner.
Even if I want them all to return, I think that Gabi may eat Reiner
I think the fastest way to solve this is the reconfiguration of eldian bodies that zeke wanted to use for his euthanasia plan, and it'll be done by ymir. But if this doesn't happen, I think Reiner will let Gabi eat him so she can return to normal. I REALLY wish for Jean and Connie to survive.
jean eating pieck and finally becoming horse titan lol
Armored Titan with Jean, and Cart Titan with Connie
Annie might let her dad eat her and Reiner might let Connie eat him.
Eren right now has 3 titans, so it's completely possible for gabi jean and connie to eat chunks of eren like rose maria and sina did with Ymir Fritz
Watch Floch appearing out of nowhere and eating Eren.
Sasha will return by eating Reiner
Gabi eats Reiner def
Gabi eats Reiner fo sho
Gabi eats Reiner for sure
Gabi eats Reiner Ig
Gabi eats Reiner is almost too obvious
Gabi eats Reiner next chapter
Gabi eats Reiner ofc
Gain eat Reiner
Gani eats Reiner
Gari after eating Reiner.
Gavin will eat Reiner, finally becoming the Armoured Titan
god pls don’t make me think about that
  THE SPINE CREATURE OOZES TITAN GAS. IS THAT AN ASSPULL OR PERFECTLY IN LINE? 4,179 responses
Tumblr media
The spine creature caught the alliance off guard with its attack, but they then made sense of it when thinking of Ragako.  The majority of the fandom felt the same way, with 54.7% expressing that it was in line with what we know.  33.5% don’t think it’s implausible the spine could do that but felt it came out of nowhere narratively, and 9.7% don’t think it makes any damn sense and categorize it as another asspull.
i knew the centidepe would do something disturbing!!!
A little farfetched however it was hinted at in the past so its not out of nowhere per say.
An asspull in line with the series.
it makes perfect sense bc its goal is "survival" no matter what,so it's great that it would have defense mechanisms like these, especially since we saw it before
It makes sense, as it seems like it's only being used in a last-ditch attempt at survival - a desperate animal being backed into a corner.
I mean, all titans emit clouds of vapor, if the spine is literally just a spine, it makes absolute sense.
I think it’s not implausible, but it was random. I guess, if someone had to realize it was the Ragako gas, it makes the most sense for it to be Connie. But he wasn’t in Ragako, how could he be so sure it’s the same gas? But, it does make the most sense coming from him.
I wish we knew more about what the creature is. In that sense it feels rushed. But aren’t all the events in the final chapters meant to be chaotic?
It is the source of the Titan powers, and Pure Titans are essentially created from Eldians taking in some kind of special spinal fluid (i.e. Zeke's spinal fluid), so I can see why this spine creature is also capable of such. After all, it does resemble a spine.
it is what it is
Fuck this booger
Does this mean the eldians all have worm goo in their spines
It shouldn't need to use gas
It's only strange because of the Zeke thing because Eren wouldn't need him if he can control titan with the Spine creature
It's kind of out of nowhere but not enough so to impact the story
Not exactly something one would be able to predict, but I wouldn't say it's too out of line since spinal fluid as a gas weapon has been shown.
It should have been done by Eren, not some final boss giant monster.
Tragic, but I am not a fan of the mechanism that turned them into titans
Why would the centipede do this? Is my question. Alternatively: Why would Ymir allow this? Unless this implies Ymir is actually feckless
Fart go brr
  WHY WAS EREN ABLE TO TRANSFORM AGAIN DESPITE NOT BEING IN CONTACT WITH THE CREATURE THAT EMERGED FROM HIS FOUNDING TITAN? 4,179 responses
Tumblr media
One component of this series that’s always fascinated me is the metaphysics of The Power of the Titans. We asked about the seemingly unusual metaphysics of Eren’s transformation this chapter, and you guys responded. Let’s break it down. A plurality of you, at 27.5%, have no opinion (though it’s actually a little higher considering some write-in replies). Over 25% of you think Eren or someone else is in PATHS building the Titans. One-tenth of one percent apart were the ideas that Eren doesn’t need PATHS or the creature from his Founding Titan to transform, and that the creature in his Founding Titan was not the same as the one that came from his human body in Chapter 122. About 9% of you said that it’s a plot hole and has no explanation, and then there were a number of write-in replies. As the resident Titan Appreciator™, I thoroughly enjoy seeing everyone’s responses to this one.
No one is building titans now. But there are surplus wall titans in P A T H S.
As long as the worm-thing exists, shifters can turn into titans. It just likes to be comfy in the Founder's shifters body :)
Because he's free, duh
Eren is built different
He keeps the Founding Titan powers for a short while even after being cut off from the source, same way he commanded pure titans to attack Reiner even though he'd stopped touching Dina
I think that all shifters have the small version of the parasite/hallucigenia/whatever connected to their spines that is their interface to the source.  Eren still has his.
I haven't got the foggiest idea man.
  THERE’S BEEN PLENTY OF DISCUSSION AROUND MIKASA’S VISION. BASED ON YOUR UNDERSTANDING, CHECK ALL APPLY: 4,221 responses
Tumblr media
Of the options we offered, the only one with a slight majority was that the vision was Mikasa’s fantasy if she answered Eren’s question differently (52%). The second most agreed upon option was that Eren was attempting to reach out to her (47%). About a third of the fandom selected “PATHS, I don’t know man” (31%) and  “It was her getting a peek at a canon alternate reality” (27%) The least popular option with only 10% was that the vision was Eren’s attempt at manipulating her. As always, there were plenty of write ins.
Isayama wrote its her ideal fantasy in his sketch so I'm not sure why this is even up for debate
I disagree with anyone who thinks that the "long dream" is just Mikasa's hallucination or imagination. She wouldn't dream about Eren asking her to throw away the scar, forget him and to remind her that he was going to die. Plus, there's no explanation for why Eren saw the same vision twice. "
It doesn't matter. It happened, we saw it and now people won't ever shut the fuck up about.
It was definitely just a dream in her head, but eren was also definitely there. So I'm not sure. Waiting for final chapter
Both Eren and Mikasa saw the same vision, so it’s both their alternative reality if given a different answer. I still believe Eren sent those Paths to her
Eren was clearly sending her a message and she finally received it and she understand what Eren was trying to imply, that's why she had that sad smile on her when she's about to decapitate Eren.
Her vision ends in the same way that Eren's "ended" in the very first chapter so it definitely has something to do with Eren's time manipulation powers and him knowing how AoT will end because he is the one deciding that ending
Imo it certainly was not her own delusion or fantasy. Every time Eren appeared in her thoughts (including the ones where she was reminded of Eren's hurtful words and also the alternate reality), she got these headaches which were so painful that even Levi noticed. I think that was just Eren trying hard to get into her mind through the paths, it's like he's saying "Hey Mikasa, let me in I need to tell you something."
I initially interpreted it as her fantasy, but the theory of Eren sending her the vision via PATHS is also a nice one. I like both.
I think it makes the most sense as either her dream which Eren then communicated with her via (birds have been associated with Eren's presence in the past, see 130/131) or a vision that Eren sent her as a way of saying goodbye and pushing her to kill him, since pushing her away via cruelty didn't work.
I feel like it was eren trying to tell her that it was okay to let him go now. he always cared and loved her she just needed closure
Was Mikasa's fantasy, Eren might have slipped in near the end to either manipulate/reach out to her.
delulu goes brrrrrrr
  WHY DOES EREN HAVE TITAN MARKS IN SOME OF MIKASA’S DREAM? 4,171 responses
Tumblr media
To end off Mikasa’s long dream, her Aaron Eren was shown with titan marks all of a sudden.  About 50% of the fandom thinks it was the reality before her bleeding into her dream, while almost 25% have a similar idea, but identify it as an alternate universe rather than a dream.  14.5% feel that Eren’s titan side coming through shows he was using memory manipulation on her.
It was a dream until Erens Titan marks appeared, he was telling her goodbye.
Eren used his titan to build the cabin in the mountains
Eren using PATHS to give Mikasa that last push she neededI think Eren was showing her what could have been, or what was, but I don't necessarily think it's a form of manipulation. The marks are because of his current state as the founding titan: same dead, blank expression
She was relying on her fantasy to get her through the moment - Eren intervened at the end through PATHS when the Titan marks appeared trying to convince her one last time to let him go (for some yet to be discovered reason)
eren not aaron, in the flesh
It's a previous timeloop that failed when Eren died without convincing Grisha, but the part where he has shifter marks is him reaching out to her through paths
Aaron Yoghurt had founder-Eren's shifter marks in a world where it shouldn't have manifested, making me doubt it's an AU
As a titan shifter, he's supposed to have these marks when nearing death (URI for example)
Eren had recently transformed to whisk Mikasa away to the cottage
In this "alternate reality", Eren's 13 years are almost up
Mix of main timeline bleeding through as well as Mikasa seeing the end of Eren's four years
When the bird and titan mark appeared, that's when real eren entered to mikasa imagination. Before this, all of it was mikasa's ideal.
  IN CHAPTER ONE WE SEE EREN LIKEWISE WAKING FROM A LONG DREAM. WAS THIS THE SAME DREAM AS THE ONE MIKASA IS EXPERIENCING? 4,175 responses
Tumblr media
A good author will tie something near the ending back to the start, and Chapter 1 definitely had some open mysteries the end could tie back into.  Just over 50% of readers note that the dreams were nearly identical, while 25% note they have similar elements but Eren’s was very different in what more it showed.  12% don’t think anything was the same except the iconic line, and another 12% have no real opinion on it.
It was her dream, but not one-sided because Eren by his own definitely interfered, and now chapter 1 could be explained as being Ymir's work in sending Past Eren these memories since she was watching the whole thing.
What ever it is, it was shared between Mikasa and Eren (from chapter one) and so therefore it cannot just be Mikasa's fantasy, but that doesn't mean it happened either.
shared dream between eren and mikasa
It feels like Isayama just put the scarf back on her so he could get a matching panel to that panel in chapter one. That 'See you later' panel itself was also disappointing. It made me think Isayama was forced to address it since he had put it in chapter one and it would've been strange if he'd never brought it back up again.
She shared the same dream as Eren did in chapter one. This “dream world” is to represent peace and closure for the two of them.
Isayama might have just tried to explain the scene from chapter 1 somehow...
Maybe the end of chapter 138 loops back into chapter 1 with eren being woken up, showing how he started understanding the future visions over this years and finally realizing the responsibilities he had to take. That the best outcome (atleast the one he could come up with) to ensure the survival of eldians is to paint himself as the big bad villain through the Rumbling (Albeit causing the death of several people some of which he personally met and had to live with the guilt of eventually robbing them off of their lives), in order to prevent the war between the Marleyans and Eldians which might have caused way worse damages by ending up uniting them against him. And ending it with either an open ending of sorts or showing a bit of the aftermath
im glad see you later mystery since chapter 1 is reveal
  WHAT ARE YOUR FEELINGS ABOUT “SEE YOU LATER, EREN” FINALLY BEING ADDRESSED? 4,192 responses
Tumblr media
4199 days after “See you later, Eren” was first seen in Chapter 1, we see a similar (or identical (see previous question) dream from Mikasa’s perspective. It’s a mystery that everyone has long speculated on, and we finally have its analog. A strong majority, at just over 61% of you, thought it was absolutely perfect. 22.3% were less enthused, but thought it was fine. A bit under 10% of you said you were disappointed, hoping for more payoff, and 7% of respondents weren’t very interested in the mystery to begin with.
I loved it, since I was expecting to see the 'See you later, Eren' to be addressed in this chapter. It was everything I had hoped for.
i just wanted eren and mikasa to be happy :(
I loved that it was mikasa that killed eren, it’s tragic and beautiful I love it !
I love how she said the same thing Eren said in chapter 1. Her kissing Erens decapitated head was an insanely hardcore finisher to their relationship. The final panel was amazing and the line " To the boy who sought freedom... Goodbye" hit really hard. I was kinda nervous to how the story would end after reading 137, but this chapter blew me away.
  WAS MIKASA KISSING EREN WEIRD? 4,183 responses
Tumblr media
It was pretty hardcore seeing the chapter close with Mikasa kissing Eren’s freshly severed head. But was it weird? 34% say no, despite the general horror of the situation, Mikasa is simply kissing a loved one goodbye. 25.2% agree it’s not weird, but little OG Ymir popping in to smile at it definitely was! 17.9% figured poor Mikasa just thought she was kissing an intact but false Eren. 13% say yes it was weird, she’s kissing a severed head! 9.9% just want to dunk on Isayama for his second slightly awkward looking kiss of the manga.
And are we gonna ignore the fact that it totally looks like Eren is kissing back in his last 5 seconds alive? Now that’s metal!!
Mikasa kissing Erens head will be an iconic panel for years
Dark shit. Probably the most disturbing chapter primarily because of the kiss.
A kiss in the cheek would have been more appropriate
I was absolutely grossed out by that kiss.
IMO, Mikasa kissing Eren isn’t THAT bad. It’s certainly disgusting, but it’s grotesque in a deeply sad way. I just feel bad for everyone involved.
Some people are freaking out about the decapitated kiss; my response is they are clearly not familiar with some of the Norse/Greek/Roman source material that this story is drawn from.
it doesn't feel right to me that mikasa's dream depicted her and eren leaving armin behind, i feel like they wouldn't be complete without armin. also the kiss was specifically weird to me because i strictly see them as brother and sister, grisha has referred to mikasa as his daughter.
It doesn't fit to Mikasa to kiss on lips. Forehead seems more fitting to me
i’ve read hentai with characters kissing drawn better than how mikasa was drawn, it looked like those shitty photoshops where people put two photos together
that was a weird kiss, she probably had to go down his throat to catch that head - if she kissed him before he died it would have made sense
Mikasa is clearly having a nervous breakdown. The poor girl has been through a lot, she's lost basically everyone she's ever known, including, by her own blade, the love of her life. She's not in her right mind, hence the disturbing last panel.
I used to like Mikasa a lot until this chapter, I kept defending her, but i'm so fucking done with her bullshit.
also isayama the eremika kiss was so dumb they are both Gay why would u make them kiss
i'm actually really surprised at the discussion surrounding mikasa and eren's kiss? it's a manga about people getting eaten alive by giant monsters, guys. and we've seen three young girls cannibalize their mother's corpse. this was actually really sweet and it's pretty obvious eren was calmly accepting mikasa's kiss in his last moments of physical consciousness yknow
Find someone who looks at you the way Ymir looks at Mikasa kissing decapitated Eren
  WHY WAS YMIR SMILING AT MIKASA KISSING EREN(’S HEAD)? 4,189 responses
Tumblr media
A good 49.2% of respondents are slightly concerned about Ymir’s spooky reappearance right at the end. 19.5% think she simply gravitates towards any connection between people. 9.2% think she’s super happy to see her ship come to life (followed swiftly by death), and fewer (9.1%) think she’s remembering a fleeting happy moment from her past. 8% just think she’s a weirdo - it’s probably hard to give a damn about respecting privacy after 2000 years as a ghostly sand goddess.
Honestly i dont even know because isnt she supposed to be on erens side..?
i think it has something to do with the fact that she wants everyone  connected
I think it's Ymir finally understanding the meaning and the importance of freedom (taught by Eren), love (taught by Mikasa), and life (taught by Armin)
My interpretation is that she saw herself in Mikasa who would try to get some connections/love in her life but didn't really get to see it and it was creepy she could finally understand her own flaws by understanding mikasa. Connections are not eternal they eventually come to an end to find the happiness a person needs to learn to be happy with himself first.
She just connected to eren and because they knew how things were for real she was “happy for them”
It shows that Mikasa stoped being a slave without sacrificing love, something Ymir was unable to do
I guess she likes eren in some way and seeing true love (as she was forced into marrige and such) made her smile. AND ITS FU*KING WIERD
all her life she knew was pain and sorrow I guess the first vision of a real sacrifice and true love made her understand what armin said last chapter
Eren's endgame plan was to act our the code geass ending making him the bad guy, he ordered ymir to put all of these steps into action that would lead eren finally getting mikasa to be let free of her slavement to eren.
I guess she was happy to see a real love between two people. Small things matter though. So i guess, she will undo everything
Clearly things are going according to plan. She’s happy about that.
because her ship for 2000 years has finally become canon and she gets a front row seat in witnessing it happen
Do you remember, she saw a couple kissed back than? I think Ymir is searching the meaning of love. She just wants to loved. Now, she already found the meaning of love.
Because now that Eren is dead she will be free soon
Mission is complete, she and Mikasa are not slaves anymore. The curse was ended by Eren's death.
There is some hidden meaning, but I'm not scared.
Wahahaha that smile says shit is about to go down  something bad us gonna happen trust me its not over yet
Because voyeur was missing on top of necrophilia
I think Ymir finally saw the true love, she’s happy because she’s watching a “bad man” being loved despite his mistakes, and Ymir was treated always as a human gun and a tool by the people in the past
Maybe she is happy bc the curse gets lifted?
she's a fucking pervert
She's gonna kill her.
Someone just took her man, she's about to cut Mikasa
She's happy about Eren being dead.
She's happy Eren got what he wanted
She's amused at mikasa's delusion
Maybe she is happy that Eren finally was “free”. Since Eren made her feel understood, maybe she’s happy that he is not suffering anymore.
Because Ymir Fritz is free from slavery
Eren broke the time loop. Ymir is finally free now.
I can't even speculate about why Ymir does anything she does at this point
Cause she knows Eren is still alive :)
ITS LIKE WHEN SHE FREED THE PIGS SHE WAS SMILING SO NOW SHE SEES THEM KISSING AND SMILING MEANS THERE WILL BE FREEDOM TOO AHHHHHHHHHHHH
Ymir was planning for this to happen and her grand plan will be revealed in the next chapter
Ymir's reason for keeping connected to reality was to experience life again, she got to experience love so she was happy.
  SO, IS EREMIKA CANON NOW OR NAH? 4,173 responses
Tumblr media
Isayama has tended to avoid ships being explicitly shown. Did this chapter break that trend? The slight plurality of fans think Eremikas is 100% canon, at 35.8%, while 35.4% think there’s mutual love but the label of romance doesn’t quite cover it.  18.2% think it’s not canon but pretty close, while 10.6% give it a big ol HECK NO.
eremika actually become canon 💔
eremika baby... not me being delusional but i’m manifesting it bc i kinda see something...
eremika cabin seggs
Eremika eww
EreMika is forever canon
I don't really know how o feel about all this, especially the Eremika stuff but hey it was written good so yeah
i was hoping eremika would be cannon or at least be noticed more. after all, mikasa deserves that.
If that was what we needed it for Eremika, hell that was really painful, but beautiful!
EreMika moment is very unexpected, even though I'm an EM hard shipper I'll be very disappointed if the ending will be a fairy tale romance lovey dovey ending, the angst in eremika is what makes the ship unique, beautiful and cruel. And the Jean, Connie, Gabi scene- I already bet that they would die this chapter but it's still unbelievable, it's too cruel for me.
I'm happy for the EreMika shippers for their ship getting canon
I never liked Eremika before but now it just makes my blood boil
Eremika part was the only good part.
I’m glad there haven’t been more kisses in the manga, and though I don’t ship Eremika, it’s well within Mikasa’s character to give Eren a farewell kiss. I ain’t mad.
Historia will probably come out as Ymir's EreMika shipper buddy who will gift her EreHisu baby for Mikasa to raise in memory of baby daddy Eren.
Eremika may be canon but I still hate it
I love Eremika so much!
Also haven't y'all seen all the Eremika artists who've drawn dark gothic stuff between Mikasa and Eren's decapitated head for months before this? They called this shiz perfectly!
Seeing the eremika relationship arc wrap up after all these years was incredibly satisfying, and seeing the meltdowns from people mad that she actually got the relevance they wanted for their ship was the icing on the cake. Sucks to not be able to differentiate canon from fanon I guess.
Both Eremika and Erehisu are canon. Why not both.
  FINAL THOUGHTS ABOUT EREN AND MIKASA’S RELATIONSHIP? 4,161 responses
Tumblr media
54.1% of fans find Eren and Mikasa’s relationships twisted, tragic, and everything they dreamed of; which would surely make Yams happy.  15.2% don’t like their dynamic but enjoy what it did for the chapter, 12.9% love the two but this is just too much :’(  11% didn’t like their relationships before but now do, and 6.8% say NOOOOOOOOOOOO
I've been blasting my eremika angst playlist on repeat and can't stop crying lmao Ymir fix this pls they deserved better
Was never the biggest fan of Mikasa or EreMika, but loved how Mikasa and Eren were handled in this chapter.
Eren and Mikasa have the best relationship I've seen between two fictional characters. This is better than Guts and Casca at this point
Eren and mikasa live together is what I want but I know it's not gonna happen.
I stopped shipping EreMika as soon as the attack on Liberio happened, and everything that followed only seemed to strengthen my dislike for the ship, but this chapter really turned things around for me. It was an important relationship in both their lives, and they really could have been happy if things were different. I'm really glad that in the end Mikasa made the right choice to kill Eren, but that it doesn't mean she needs to forget him or start hating him. As with a lot of important things in life, even when relationships fade or end, we don't just forget them or throw them away, we carry them with us, the good and the bad, and continue forward, trying to be the best versions of ourselves.
I'm okay with everything else that happened in this chapter no matter how sad except the EreMika part. I don't even ship them with any other characters but I never liked their relationship. Even if Eren did love her, I would never appreciate "I love you so I treated you like trash because...." I find Mikasa's obsession of him disgusting, her only redemption is not taking his side (because he pushed her away as well) and being the one to kill him. Yeah, she also care about the other characters but it was on an unhealthy level with Eren. And TF with kissing a decapitated head? So disappointed that Isayama will add something on the 2nd to the last chapter that will trigger lame discussions. Such a waste of panels. I also read analysis of EreMika shippers and yes, EreMika might have been there all along but for me it became one of the bad parts about this series.
Kinda felt Eremika wasnt deserved tbh abit rushed. Like I understand the chemistry but I can only see them as friends and it didnt really help because I kinda think Historia and Eren are the better couple because of the uprising arc, any scene they where together just make it seem like it, and the School AU fake previews. And the fact that Eren and Mikasas screen time feels less tbh.
  SINCE HALLU-CHAN SEEMS TO BE ALIVE AND WELL, WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTING FROM THE BATTLE? 3,949 responses
Tumblr media
A good 46.7% of respondents think OG Ymir’s mysterious nature is leading to her helping defeat our wormy foe. 21.7% think it’s already about to die as its life was tied to Eren’s, and 16.3% agree that it’s tied to Eren but Eren’s still alive, suckers!! 9.8% don’t think there’ll be much of a battle because there are 45 pages left of the series so screw that. Enough of you simply wrote “idk” to make it its own slice of pie. Poor Hallu-chan.
are we supposed to have thoughts about this worm?
at this point and with only one chapter left, i’m sorry but i don’t care about hallu-kun, give time to the og characters
Dude I don't know I'm tired. Ymir is gonna like. Zap it or something.
Can Armin just stomp it?
BIRD EAT WORM
Come to think of it, we've never fought before huh Reiner? Want to know why that is? It's because you could never stand a chance
Either Eren's death stops it or Reiner ends up killing it
Dont know, but none of the above
I'll be honest, I really don't understand what Hallu-Chan/Worm is, is it the Spinal creature from Ymir's past? It's the thing that came out of erens body right? Is that the power of the titans? How did it pass on to Eren? IS IT SENTIENT? IF SO HOW? IF SO WHATS ITS GOAL? IM CONFUSED.
I'm expecting it honestly to just shrivel up and die.
I think it and OG Ymir are working together. I think everyone will die.
I think it will end up killing most of the people around it. Isayama DID say he was going to build a spa with our tears and sweat, and I very much doubt the tears people cried in this chapter will be enough
i think it will stop doing stuff without the founding titan in control
Falco will kill the worm, its so dumb.
Falco will use the Jaw Titan to eat it.
falco...eats....? since hallu looks like a worm... y'know...
Hallu-chan cannot be stopped!
Hallu-Chan might probably die since Ymir seems to be free from its connection from the fact she’s finally smiling and looks in a better state. Without a host it'll most likely die off.
Hallu-chan will seek another host
Hallu-chan will win
HELOS REINER YEETING HALLU-CHAN
Either it dies with Eren or that bullshit od a bird Falco wilk kill cause jest jaw... Did i mention that flying titan od the biggest asspull od the series??
Eren is revived to help stop it
Eren will kill him when he'll go to paths after he died
Considering the shifters being overwhelmed by the mindless titans Hallu-chan will burrow through Eren's Titan face attempting yet again to rejoin with him
it realises that it will never have the love of Erenmika, and falls over and dies of despair
It seems really hard to kill... maybe it doesn't even die?
What the fuck is the glowy centipede IM SO CONFUSED
Karina Braun is going to kill it
  FALCO’S SCREAM HAS GENERATED A LOT OF CONFUSION. DO YOU THINK HIS SCREAM IS CONNECTED TO THE TITAN TRANSFORMATION? 4,138 responses
Most respondents (59%) don’t think Falco’s screaming was related to the transformation of the Eldians, cruel irony though it would be. However a pretty decent chunk of people (33.5%) do think the two were related, given the specific way the scream was drawn. 7.4% have other thoughts, but we forgot to make it a proper write-in option. Our bad.
Falco did it
I didn't see or understand the point of it. Why did Falco scream?
why did falco scream and turn them into titans very confused about that
It felt weird that Falco screamed and turned them into titans for no reason? Like he just screamed while flying off for no reason, I felt Isayama could have handled that better
I think that he is the one that turned them into titans when he screamed. First of all: his mouth glowed. Why? What other reason would his mouth glow. I do not think he did this intentionally or even knew he did this. Anyway I think he has this ability for two reasons- #1: falco appears to be the “final form” of the titan. since no other titan has flew before and maybe they all have that ability in their last stage (like zeke). #2: the way he was made into a titan. he was turned into a titan because he ingested zeke’s spinal fluid and then ate porco. zeke’s spinal fluid may be the key. i think it can either still be in his system or have given him that ability.
Since the 'Other' of the Falco question doesn't have a write-in option, I thought I'd go over some possibilities because I've seen a lot of people talking about it. (1) - Falco's scream did not have anything to do with the Eldians transforming into titans [2-6 - His scream *did* turn the Eldians, and it was because due to ingesting Zeke's royal blood, he has a connection to the true nature of the Founding Titan, that is, the worm/shining centipede/Hallucigenia. This means his screams reacts with the ingested gas of the worm and triggers titanisation. Aside from this explanation of how it's possible, the main reasons this is likely in the chapter itself is the odd timing of the scream, the correlation with how Zeke screamed to trigger the gas in Ragako which was what Connie used as a frame of reference, and the way the scream was drawn with light around the titan mouth just as Zeke's scream in 119] Now for why he screamed, assuming it caused the transformation: (2) - He screamed in anguish for Gabi and his family turning into titans. He didn't realise that his scream would turn everyone into titans, and if he knew he wouldn't have screamed. (3) - Same reason as above, but he knew they would turn into titans but couldn't hold back his despair. (4) - Same reason as above, but he also screamed to transform them on purpose. He figured it was too late and they would transform anyway. (5) - Same reason as above, except Ymir or the worm controlled his body and forced him to scream against his will. (6) - He screamed in an attempt to control the Eldians, whether it be trying to stop the titanisation or trying to control the titans to keep the characters who were still fighting safe.
  THE MUCH ANTICIPATED EREN POV DIDN’T HAPPEN. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT? 4,123 responses
Tumblr media
Eren’s fight seems over, and we have yet to get the often talked about “Final Eren POV that neatly explains everything.”  Almost 50% of fans think we’ll certainly get it next chapter, 20.7% hoped we’d get it but are ok with how things are, 18.4% are upset we don’t have it, 8.9% feel that the numerous Eren focused chapters like 120-123, and 130/131 have made his actions plenty clear leaving no need for a final POV, and 5.8% are happy there’s some interpretation left to him.
At this point it's pretty obvious that we'll get Eren's pov.
Eren's POV please....
even though his intentions are crystal clear, I just want to see his emotions through it all
Eren's POV. I'm dying for it.
if we got Eren's POV and what he felt throughout his fight vs the alliance that'd be awesum.
Eren's POV is DIRELY NEEDED but maybe it doesn't matter anyway because I don't know what could POSSIBLY explain the insane inconsistency, horribly written, OOC bullshit I've seen from him in this story.
i hope to see eren's pov and i hope it answers alot of questions
I hope to see Eren’s POV and the dream to be explained
I want to see Eren's PoV for the last time
No need to see Eren’s POV tbh. An open ended closure would work
We'll see Eren's pov n what is his true purpose n he will end this madness n WHO'S THE FATHER OF HISTORIA'S BABY.
I assume next chapter should be Eren's POV based on his flashbacks or from paths. so We might see the end of that conversation with Hisu. I don't think it's going to mean much.
An eren pov its what the story is missing
I really want to see Eren's POV, but at the same time it would be fun to leave it open to interpretation.
if they keep the logic and end it all with eren's POV i'll prob be satisfied with the ending
I don't think there is much left to answer regarding Eren's POV either. The majority of it was explained in chapter 128-131, but I have a feeling the final pieces of it will be explained with Historia's moment in the final chapter when we learn how exactly she was involved with his plan and whether or not Eren is the father of her baby or not. Who knows, if Ymir does revive Eren in the final chapter, we might see a final dialogue between Eren and Historia that could fully clarify these things (and that could even pave the way for Eren being the one saying ""You are now free"" to that baby in the final panel).
WHERES MY EREN POV!!!
  HISTORIA WHEN? THOUGHTS ON HER NOT BEING MENTIONED? EXPECTATIONS FOR THE FINAL CHAPTER? FEEL FREE TO RANT. WE’RE SALTY TOO. 2,048 responses
Ain't she was giving birth
Historia is history.
her absence is definitely a bruh moment
Her arc will be resolved. Patience.
1 panel of her holding her child. Isayama reduced her to a background character, thats it.
137=Armin focused. 138=Mikasa focused. 139=Eren focused (Historia will appear here since some mysteries about her seems linked to Eren)
139, her child may get Zeke and Eren's titans if the curse isn't lifted
139.AnR is coming still (Copium poster)
AAAAAA WHY WAS SHE SIDELINED FOR SO LONG
ANSWERS. I'M FREAKING EXPECTING FOR ANSWERS IN THE NEXT CHAPTER!!!!
Baby being named Ymir
Baby reveal and Eren's answer to her question about a baby next chapter
Ahh, sadly Historia's arc won't come to a neat resolution, they probably will just use her and the baby for some symbolism on the last pages of the manga, but I don't think we're going to get much more than that :(
As I've said in the previous poll, we're most likely not getting her POV. I don't see how that's surprising. Unfortunately she's barely been a character since the timeskip, and as it seems it's probably going to end like that.
As least she'll live
At this point, I'm afraid we won't get all the answers we're looking for regarding Historia, and they will be up to our imagination or to future interviews with Isayama.
Baby will have the founder.
Believe in Yams
Daddy reveal next chapter
definitely in the final chapter, but i’m still sad that she was missing for so many chapters after season 3.
Does she really need to be answered? shes served her purpose as the queen of the wall
Don't care much for Historia, she's mostly a plot device. Final chapter will be focused on Eren and the rumbling will continue as he holds his child while grieving.
dont worry guys i have historia POV right here: it was all a dream and she wakes up in bed next to her wife freckled ymir. isayama called me last night and told me he forgot to draw it in this chapter, that's all.
Even if she appears next chapter, Yams did her dirty by ignoring her for chapters and just sidelining her after so much development in Uprising :/
Feel like her arc was done by the end of S3.
feel like she would do something BIG in the end
Final chapter is addressing Eren and their common son
Final chapter will almost 100% be focused on Eren and Historia
Her baby will surely play an important role...
Her being sidelined this hard is probably my least favorite thing about the last few arcs
her character is as good as finished, she couldn't do anything imo
Her pregnancy subplot must serve some purpose and it will be in the final chapter.
Her son must be Ymir or riot
Historia in 139, she not being mentioned was kinda expected. FINAL CHAPTER IS GOING TO BE KINO, recently re-read 120 to 122 and remembered why AOT is my favorite manga.
Historia probably died during her childbirth or something  
Historia probably in next chap, as it will be last one... i want good closure
Historia who? I hope Yams is twisted and leaves plenty up for reader interpretation and fan theories, much like Tolkien has done.
Historia, Eren, Ymir in Ch139. Full Historia and Eren convo. Answer to Historia’s question. I believe in some sort of AnR. Eren is the father of Historia’s child, who is Ymir Fritz reborn.
hopefully Isayama gives some kind of half-bakes excuse soon so I can start my decade-long journey of getting over it
I don’t even want to think about it, Yams really played dirty to my girl.
I expect there's a reason we haven't seen her PoV yet.
I expect to be disappointed
I feel starved for Historia's POV.  I appreciate Isayama likely has good reasons for starving us.
I get that Yams may be hiding something but she doesn't has to stay background until final chapter:(
I guess we will see in 139 why Eren secretly was meeting her and told only her about his plans about the rumbling, and finally getting confirmed who is the real father of her child and why does she wants a child in the first place.
I hope we at least see SOMETHING in the final chapter. Even if we do, it sucks that one of the best written characters got completely sidelined after the Uprising. Such a shame. And if Yams kills her in childbirth, I will fucking riot.
I just hope it’s not Eren’s child. And that our queen is alright and alive.
i just want her to marry ymir i'm so upset
I read like twenty chapters in one go. Her not being mentioned seems like it was done on purpose. I'm scared
I think she'll be important in an epilogue type thing, but not for this story.
Isayama is saving her for the last
Ok we better see her. I don’t think eren is the father and even if he is it doesn’t erase the fact that she has been sidelined and ignored for a huge portion of the manga. To be honest I would rather have a historia POV than an eren one at the point.
QUEEN HISTORIA IN FINAL CHAPTER!!!
Relax it was saved for last for a reason. Expect a huge twist.
She'll maybe be mentioned in the last chapter but I doubt we'll see much of her. Her child, though, might get the spotlight
She's featured so little post timeskip that I honestly do not care about her anymore at all.
The subplot may not be anything too relevant, it might just reinforce the natalist theme the manga is presenting, although if Eren was the father, his actions would make a lot more sense.
They done my girl dirty like you give her this arc about her finding herself and her freedom after losing the love of her life and how do you pay it off? Make her get knocked up and pregnant and miserable. Like its just a bit yikes considering yknow shes a lesbian (idc what erehisu shippers say, as a bi person trust me when i say queenies full gay), honestly they should've kept her in the action fighting like a warrior queen imagine how cool she would've looked in the black sc uniform!!
We will probably get more historia near the end of the final chapter along with the final panel. Though we could see her if we get an Eren POV so we could see what role she played.
Yumihisu PATHS wedding next chapter.
Eren X Historia. Erehisu forever.
EM now, EH next month
eren clapped her cheeks
Eren is not the Father.
Eren is still on Paradis and in the last chapter he will go to Historia and the baby. Then he will do what must be done.
Eren is the damn father, you'll see
Either Yams was straightforward from the start but readers read more into it on our own or there's still something more to Historia and Eren's talk. I usually try not to speculate too much about future chapters. Theories are fun and all but when we read into something to the point that we manage to convince ourselves that we KNOW where this story is heading, it robs the joy out of reading. I'll just let everything unfold without too many expectations. Hoping too much is just a one-way trip to disappointment land.

  WE STARTED THE CHAPTER WITH A FOCUS ON CLIFF BABY. IT HAS US WONDERING, WHO DO YOU NOW THINK THE BABY IN THE FINAL PANEL IS? 3,943 responses
Tumblr media
One mystery that we’re pretty sure will be answered in the next chapter is the identity of final panel-kun and the baby. The most popular answer is still Historia’s baby, at 33%, followed by this chapter’s superstar cliff baby at 23.1%, OG Ymir as Historia’s baby at 18.4%, baby Eren at 15%, and OG Ymir at 4.1%.
Watch the final panel be some random ass baby, like the one we are getting tossed around during the rumbling.
all thats left of humanity are marleyans and titan shifters. they rebuild society with final panel baby as the figure head
Apparently speculations say the random cringe ass nae nae crowd surfing baby is the baby in the final panel, if it is, then my heart will break from wasted time on theories that were more fruitful than the plot itself.
Historia's baby (aka Ymir reincarnate) and Cliff Baby will have a fight to see who will be the baby in the final panel. Which baby will TRUELY be free???
it’s Jean’s kid and jean is the person in the panel
At this point it could be Pieck and Jean's child for all we know
Eren and Mikasa's baby in an AU
Eren reincarnated as Historia's baby???
I hate that it might be Ymir or Eren. They don’t deserve a second chance at life. Where is Ramzi’s second chance? Or any of the millions murdered? I don’t think Isayama will allowYmir or Eren to be reborn because he can’t reward mass murderers. He would be in big public trouble.
Falco and Armor titan Gabi's child
Grisha holding Eren
His name is Jeff
Historia and Eren's baby
I can't chose between Baby Eren or Historia's baby
I've always thought it was Grisha holding Eren, although I can see it being cliff baby as well
It still makes the most sense that it would be Historia's baby, but my only problem is that since Eren is the main character, it's only fitting that he gets to be in the final panel as well and it looks pretty clear to me that he just died, so unless Historia's baby dies too, how could he be the one holding him/her? That leads me to believe that it might be Grisha and baby Eren after all.
Isayama changed the ending and the final panel is irrelevant. Originally it was EreHisu baby
Isayama used this panel in chapter 138, eren holds mikasa telling her to be free after his death
Jean and Mikasa's child that Jean dreamed of earlier.
Just another eldian
New beast titan
Symbolism. If the baby survived that baby become the first born baby who will experience true freedom and peace
The alternate timeline, Eren is holding Historia's baby
the panel was fake the whole time, and it was used to trick everyone
When Eren is hugging Mikasa in her dream, it is framed exactly like the final panel. 200iq take incomming - The final panel is Eren holding baby Mikasa. I will take no questions.  
Ymir reborn as Historia's baby. Eren is hugging baby reborn Ymir in paths.

WHAT VIBE DO YOU WANT FOR THE FINAL CHAPTER? 4,026 responses
Tumblr media
As the story of Attack on Titan approaches its final chapter, 18.7% of you want something warmer than this past chapter. 31.2% of you still want more dark plot twists. A sharp majority of respondents want Isayama to straight up invent a new emotion for them. We didn’t poll for this, but I imagine all three groups would agree it’s been a wild ride.
Some happiness, some reconciliation, good vibes with lots of sadness thrown in.
I hope to have a dark ending
A bittersweet (but mostly sweet) end
A darker ending. AOT's entire story demands it
I don’t know how happy the happy is gonna be but I want them to end it in a positive way. World has enough darkness, let some sunshine in Isayama😭
I dont want to sound like those weird obsessed eren fans but i want eren to win i just want a dark ending or something like that
Bittersweet ending, I guees. For a masterpiece like this, it’d suck if it ended with solely bad ending or happy ending.
A HAPPY MOMENT IS THE ONLY THING I NEED
A hopeful ending
A good "bad ending" for everyone
A happy ending but also a plot twist
Conclusive and good ending (doesn't matter if its dark or not) that ties every inconsistency properly and make them relevant.
Idk I want something very climatic or very dark but warm ending could do it too but I prefer dark plot twist that gives immaculate pain
A little bit of happiness

Stuff that needs to be covered in 139  -Why Historia became complacent/accepting with Eren's plan  -Was Historia upset because she had to lie to everyone  -Eren's response to her asking if she should have a child  -Is Eren truly the daddy is EH canon or not?  -Are Mikasa's visions delusions or some sort of AU(AU damages Erens character for me)  -World after the rumbling  -Eren's current/true goal and what he's been thinking   -Why have his eyes been closed this whole time  -Why did Falco scream to transform everyone  despite the gas not appearing to harm them even if it gave them spinal fluid.  -How is Eren seeing things through birds  -How is the major Spinal creature alive with no titan body and not appearing to not be attached to the "minor" inside Eren.  -Was that solely Eren's head in the colassal and can he transfer consciousness to his body that has yet to be seen.  -Who is Marcel  - Has Eren become dove(crying)?  -What baby is in the final panel. And who is holding it. Is it the random crowds baby or Historia's?  -How will Jean, Pieck, Annie, Conrad, Gabi, Annie and the "worst mom and dad in the world" be saved.  - State of Paradis and who is calling the shots.   -Are the Americas the only part not destroyed?  -How are Yelena and Kiyomi's infinite kindness doing? Will the Yeagerist confirmed to be left alive kill them?  - WHERE THE FUCK IS RICO? IS ANKA ALRIGHT?  -Ymir appears to appreciate Mikasa's love for Eren like the wedding 2000 years ago, what are her goals been and as of now  -If it was Ymir that aided in the alliance bringing their friends and "allies" husks into the fight why did all the other former titans keep fighting them. And how did they find their friends path selves.  - Who's side is Ymir on and if she switched was it when she saw Ramzi or at some other point.  -Can the rumbling start moving again? If so how?  -where was Eren's head during Armin's explosion and how did he transform into the collasal titan form but keep only his head visible like shown in 131 and not regenerate his body which is needed to control a titans movement unless its being used through the warhammer . Is Eren's body truly on Paradis😳  -Can the world realistically to the standard of the AoT universe rebuild itself?
Eren's and Ymir's pov. Not a happy ending, I truly hope, even tho it's sad, that the humans turned into titans won't come to normal.
Make it make sense. Philosophical shit
Why Grisha gave Eren his Titan, Why freckled Ymir aided the alliance when it puts Historia in danger, and obviously Eren and Historia POV.
Eren weeping in grief and sadness as he sees everyone death saying "I told you I will win", this will destroy me.
#Fingerstein and purge of jäggerist
Did Eren really believe in genocide or was there a reason for all this?
1. closure on the eldians that were titanized 2. historias pov 3. erens pov 4. ymir and centipede stuff
1) Eren’s POV 2)How levi, mikasa, and falco will live after eren’s death. 3) if the shifters will be eaten and if the dumb titan who eats them survives being in a sea of dumb titans 4)explanation of the afterlife re: survey corpse
12 pack eren
9 titan shifters coming together and ruling the world under communism
A conclusive, satisfying end. But I don't think I'll get that.
a crumb of erens POV thats all
a crumb of happiness pls ..... also let Mikasa, Levi and Falco be alive PLEASE
A final EMA moment.
a finality of the hundred years conflict
A fitting conclusion, that encloses significant remaining plotpoints, and is somewhat open for the future.
A fitting resolution that lets this series end as the masterpiece it is.
A foreword from Iseyama describing his experience with SnK and writing the last leg of it.
A fresh start to humanity. Humanity pushing forward.
A Full EMA Reunion
A funeral for my soldiers and Hitch please.
A glimpse into their world after these events
A happy ending but we can only hope 🙂
A happy ending for reiner, Jean, connie, falco, aruanie, eremika.
A happy ending for ymir and the others
a happy ending, a conclusion to all the characters and some of eren’s pov
I dont know...i have no clue. But i love the heartbreak i really do
I DONT KNOWWWW :(
I have to see how the future will look with the rest of those left alive after The Rumbling.
I HIGHLY HOPE ARMIN AND ANNIE ARE ABOUT TO BE IN A REAL RELATIONSHIP
I hope all Eldians that are titanised turn back to human.
I hope all pure titans revert back to human form(but that most likely won't be happening)
I hope that Connie or Jean gets a chance to inherit one of the titan shifters. I also hope Eren is alive because I wanted to see his POV.
I hope that Jean and Connie could return :'(
i hope the rumbling will not be reactivated and that AT LEAST some people from the alliance such as mikasa and onyankopon will stay alive.
i hope theres a hange ova after i would love to see her backstory
I want Eren and Mikasa to speak in the paths world in real time, in the present universe. I want him to tell Mikasa that he loves her.
I want everyone to revert back to human somehow (I know it most likely won't happen.) Need Historia and more Historia. Annie & Armin officially getting together. Also how Levi will spend the rest of his life.
I want everything explained?
i want gabi and falco to be okay and i wanna see historias baby
i want jean back 😩
i want my children to find happiness
I want my life back.
I want Reiner to survive please
I want the aftermath everyone recovering from it and possibly a few pages of Eren/Ymir in the paths or somethin
i want the father of historias baby confirmed, I DONT believe eren is the father but there is a lot of theories going around that he is and i wouldnt be surprised anymore i mean it’s isayama
I want the power of the titans to disappear completely
i want the rumbling to continue, or if it doesnt i want to see the alliance realize eren was right
I want to know from Isayama-Sensei leaving us all a note to end the racism since it sort of the main objective of AOT.
I want to know how paths work
I want to know that Eren is dead and the consequences of his actions. I want Mikasa, Levi, Reiner and Annie and the rest of the Alliance being the embodiments of hope for the post Rumbling world
I want to know what was in Eren's head in the end. I want to see Levi resting. I want Mikasa and Armin to stand by each other until they die. I want some hope, not a completely depressing ending.
I want to know who’s holding the baby in the final panel, and I want Jean to be back, but it probably won’t happen😢and more eren in paths
I want to know why eren do that since he already knows what will happen! So thats why I need to know the reason of all of that happened!
I want to know wtf the deal is with the giant titan forest
I want to know ymirs goal and what she wants, more of eren since we havent gotten much of him in a bit, and the explanation on the mikasa vision tying in with the first chapter.
I want to see a bittersweet ending that raps up all loose ends
I want to see a dead centipede thing.
I want to see a flash-forward and see them properly grieve over each other. The protags have been through so much in such little time that it isn't fair if they don't get a proper ending. I also want to see more of the after-life realm, wherever Hajime went. I want to see the character's who died reaction though I have a feeling this won't happen.
I want to see a wholesome moment between Gabi and Falco
I want to see all the characters that survive happy
My man KITZ WOERMANN
A little bit of Eren POV, Historia, end of Curse of Ymir, end of Eldian hatred and Eldians finally being free, remaining characters moving on with their lives peacefully and happily. MAYBE, just maybe, Eren at the end of the chapter alive, maybe going into hiding, if he is not dead already.
A mention of Historia by Reiner, I guess
a new spin off series like boruto so they can milk some more money
a normal conversation between the survivors, and goddamn im gonna be pissed is annie dies
A part of the epilogue where Levi smiling wondering that how the world has changed everyones' deaths had meaning- no more expeditions,titans, battles. Then the wings of freedom coat shown and an odm gear as a reminder of his fallen comrades.
A part where Eren eats his old man.
A paths conversation between Eren and Grisha would be cool
A peaceful world
a perfect ending
A positive ending 😑
A proper end. Questions answered. Levi having some peace.
A real origin story for the power of the Titans, a good use of paths, and one or two more good deaths
a living human bro
A look into Eren's mind, hes still a mystery to me.
a therapist 😱😱😱😱😱😱
A thoughtful ending🧎‍♀️
A time skip of how everyone will be doing after thatS
A timeless ending for Eren's character, cementing him as the best anime protagonist of all time.
A timeskip of how Mikasa or Armin has survived.
A tender moment between Annie + Armin
Ackerman's clan mystery
ACKERTALK
actual happiness
After rumbling
Aftermath of the Rumbling if it's stopped for good
again... ANSWERS. that's all.
Akatsuki no Requiem
Alive eren, can't be that warhammer ability went into nothing
All Eldians saved, Levi and Armin alive and well, Eren and Mikasa in whatever their version of happiness is, even in death.
aruani and falco x gabi becoming canon(excuse me and my shipping). the ending is most probably tragic and all but i want to see the other characters' opinion about it or their POVs
Aruani not becoming canon.
As a Reiner lover, I hope he'll get the relief he deserves. Let it be in death or in living and finding redemption (there is still Falco to take care of, afterall)
as long as FMA last chapter or have eventual where are they now chapters released from time to time. Give isayama some rest
Aside from some of the more obvious choices, it'd really hit home to see Eren reunite with Carla in Paths or the afterlife
At least 100 pages of chapter
at least a good ending :( they deserve a happy ending after all they've been through and for levi to live
At least eren is able to tell mikasa that he care for her as well as armin.
at least eren POV and how historia/her baby is doing
At least my fav character didn't dieeeee
at least one single positive moment
At least somebody finally getting some gosh-danged happiness!
BRING MY MANS JEAN BACK
Bro I would love to see no more mains die, please.
bruh. I have no more hopes.
Bucle or resetting explanation and how the Shingeki  can remember past timelines
Can Jean please be alive
Can we just have Reiner and Bert reuniting...

EM
EM baby

Erehisu panel,,, prolly idc but pls lemme see Historia again
Erehisu seggs
EREMIKA
EreMika shipper Ymir to maybe have more agency than being a creepy voyeur of intimate moments. So far, centipede and male characters have been the only ones who have had any say in where the story is heading. Truly and utterly disappointing. Mikasa beheading Eren after waffling about it for a century just isn't enough, sorry to say. Do better, Isayama.
Eremika UwU and freedom for all the characters
Eremika, aruani happy and peaceful life. And i hope jean, connie and others comeback :((((

Eren smiling one last time

For everyone to be happy and finally live in peace
for it to be satisfying
For me not to cry for a week after it
For the love of erwin, let there be a happy ending for ONE character at least
For them to revert to humans. Ymir cause gets broken somehow
Forest flashback, rest of Eren/historia convo, something about Ymir bcs she is acting weird, some deaths please.
Gabi was the perfect foil to Eren, she needs at least some more character development in her arc, or at least some closure! Give us answers about the snk world, the big reason why titans exist, a world completely different from this one. The theory about it being muv-luv alternate universe whatever seems plausible, but idk if this will all fit into one chapter. I think Isayama has lost his touch for the past few chapters, I'm really hoping he can do something to redeem this narrative and give us a final, edible ending
Gabi, Falco and historia's baby living in a free world
Gabi's return
genocide
GENOCIDE AND EH
Genuine happiness
Good writing. It clearly won’t happen though
Grisha motivation and some other plot hole fills
Grisha POV, Historia, and OG Ymir
hallu chan is dead.
Hallu-Chan destroyed; Titans turn back to eldians & curse is broken; Historia’s baby is baby in final panel, and the first eldian born free from the titan curse
Hallu-chan, Historia, the Child, the Curse of Ymir
Hallucigenia getting killed with shifters reverting and pure disappearing (wall titans included), scouts returning to Paradis and the resolution to Historia's baby's plot point. Potentially the end of the Eren/Historia conversation from 130.
Hange :(

HAPPINESS JESUS CHRIST THEY DESERVE IT
Happiness lol
happiness of the remaining characters
Happiness.
happiness. That or a nice reunion afterlife situation like we saw with Hanji
HAPPINESS.... LEVI SMILING... EMA HAVING A HEART TO HEART CONVO
Happy armin
Happy ending for Falco, Gabi, Reiner, Historia, Connie, and Jean.
happy ending ofc , like eremika or aruani marriage or something
Historia and Eren's POV, the Rumbling restarting, Eren living, Gabi surviving by eating Reiner and flying away on Falco, titan powers being put to an end.
Historia and everyone having a happy life
Historia being SOMEWHAT of a character and not Wren's personal plot device now that he's mostly out of the picture.
Historia closure, some salvaging of Eren's arc, an unexpected (and good) twist
Historia dies in child birth, baby is Levi's so it can't transform. I want to see the pigs again!!!
Historia duh
Historia getting a happy life
historia happy
Historia naming her child and AruAni love confession.
Historia POV
Historia PoV
historia and Ymir married :/
Historia and Ymir unite in the paths or something. Levi and Hange reunite in the after life. Armin and Annie becomes canon.
HISTORIA'S BABY. HANJI SOMEHOW EVEN IF IN MEMORY.
Historia's baby. The end of the curse of Ymir. Reiner lives. Aruannie sinks the ship. I'm happy, but I cry a lot because it will all be over
Historia's baby's father
Historia's child, Eren's POV and thoughts from PATHS, conclusion to the warriors/scouts personal plotlines, Ymir's motivation and thoughts, the final panel baby.
historia's child's father for the LOVE OF GOD YOU DON'T WRITE A CHEKOV'S GUN LIKE THAT AND THEN IGNORE IT YOU HACK FRA-
Historia's fate
Historia's role in the story
Historia's Ymir one more time even though i know it won't happen :(
How people view Eren
How the alternative universe could have worked out
How the remaining characters are coping / dealing with the aftermath
However Isayama ends it, I'll be incredibly grateful for this ride.
Humanities death.
Humanity finding new meaning after the rumbling
Humanity rebuilding the World TOGETHER
I always had the doubt to why Armin’s family had access to a forbidden book, and Yams never explained that, that is something I really will like to know.
I am hoping for a better conclusion for Jean and Connie. It would suck if they are stuff as pure titans for the rest of their lives. Also, i'm not really expecting it but it would be nice to see exactly what memories Eren showed Grisha with the Attack titan that lead him to give the titan to Eren.
I am hoping to see a realistic ending. Knowing Isayama, he'll definitely pull that off.
I am hoping to see tears come out of my eyes
I can't believe it's finally coming to an end. It's really crazy to think about. I think there might be a small time-skip in the last chapter, and hopefully, we see the people who were turned into titans return back to normal by Ymir. I hope she does something that helps everyone. I just want everyone who survives to finally find peace.
I don't care whats the ending its a great manga so far
I don't even know anymore
I don't expect anything good, honestly and unfortunately.  I hope it all makes sense in the end and doesn't look like wasn't worth it... 😟
I don't expect happy ending, I hope the ending will give us a whole new emotion
I don't want it to be over
I don't want to desire to not be disappointed
i hope to see all dead character be alive again huhuhu
i just wanna see eren in different titan forms (armored, warhammer, etc)
i just wanna see historia
I just wanna see mikasa doing alright and same with gabi.
I just wanna see the remaining characters happy and I wanna see Falco be happy especially
I just wanna see the whole survey corps reunited again T-T pls bring the survey corps members back together where they'll smile and be free
I just want a final without remaning question
I just want a good end for this story, definitely the best manga I’ve ever seen
I just want a little bit more happiness for Levi.
I just want a nice resolution and feel closure like the story has truly ended in a satisfying way.
I just want a peaceful and see their smile again
i just want all the savrifice to be worth it
I just want all these to stop for god's sake. Why the hell would they be fighting for something that happened 2000 years ago? It's a history. Yes, from the last chapter we see the compromise between Eldians and Marleyans. Just solve this goddammit
I just want an ending that makes people comfortable callling AOT a modern classic
I just want answers😃
i just want armin to be okay.
I just want Armin to stay alive and Jean to come back.
I just want it now
I JUST WANT MY BOYS (Jean and Connie) TO BE OK😭 Maybe see everyone who died reunite in the paths? Please I just want a semi happy ending, that’s all I need omfg
I just want the ending to make sense man
i just want them happy man :(
İ just want to eren and mikasa be happy man.
I just want to know what Eren was thinking about the deaths of all his friends. I'd like to know what Levi thinks about Zeke's death.  AND I HOPE TO SEE THE MEANING OF HANGE'S MYSTERIOUS SHARD.
I just want to really hear from Ymir. She has been made to be silenced most of her life and for thousands of years. I wanna hear *from her* her thoughts and motivations. Would also like to hear from Eren.
I just want to see Armin and Mikasa hug. That's it. I want to see them crying.
I just want to see Eren using berserk mode like season 1 finale
I just want to see someone smiling. I don’t care who it is.
i just want to see the ackermans finnaly getting some peace
I JUST WANT TO SEE THE CHAD EREN LIKE HE WAS IN THE PATHS AT LEAST ONCE MORE
I just want to see the people who are still alive to be happy again
i just want to see them smile at least one more tome
I just want to understand what Ymir wants.
I JUST WANTED A DECENT END BUT THIS IS FUCKED UP. AT LEAST AN EREN POV AND SOME EXPLANING CAN BE NICE
I lost all my hope after that depressing chapter😭
I NEED ANSWERS
I NEED EREN TO BE ALIVE
i need explanations. there are several open issues that have not been explained yet, I want to understand them
I need Mikasa happiness goddamit!
I need questions answered
I need something from eren
I really hope most of them will survive
I really hope to see historias baby and I hope everyone gets closure in the end
I really just want to my bois Jean Connie and Gabi (and everyone else who's a titan) to return, I can't with this, it's really REALLY painful
I really want Reiner and levi to live
I really want to see historia and the rest of the people at paradis
I really wanted my boy Jean to get a happy ending, but now I just want Isayama to make me cry and give us some good memes
I Simply want to see plot holes fixed, and explanations. It’s fine to leave some things up to interpretation, but there is still a lot left undone that needs explaining, such as Eren & Historia POV, Ymir POV, P A T H S, why did Kruger and Grisha help the alliance, what did Kruger see? Who is the baby? etc. I think most of these are gonna be explained, but we will see
i wanna know if eren did it willingly or he was manipulated by eren
i wanna know what the HECK ymir is gonna do. Also I want a hopeful/bittersweet ending that doesn't show all their problems magically disappearing
I wanna know wtf made Eren turn into a genocider
I wanna se zeke for the final time
i wanna see a happy ending where ema trio is together and levi is alive, and i want to see every sacrificed survey corps soldiers in the Paths
I wanna see a timeskip. I want to see these people living life peacefully, even just for a moment.
I would love to see Eren and Annie say goodbye to each other in some way, they were such a big rivalry in the beginning of the manga and even if it's just a smile reminiscent of their fight scene, I would be happy.
i’d like some kind of closure for EMA, a definite explanation of how it ends, no mysteries (no confusing endings or vague endings pls)
i’m hoping to get my heart ripped out of my chest and to be left gasping for air while i try to perform CPR on myself
I’m hoping to see all of the people back on paradis and I want everyone to be safe
I’m hoping to see more action between the iconic trio, Eren, Mikasa & Armin. It’ll make me happy to seem them whether it’s in a flashback or whatever really.
Isn't this the same that ask about my predictions? :v
It cant be saved anymore so I will be dissapointed anyway. Who cares.
It's all hope, but If eren's really dead then I want to see the consequences of that. Yeah, marleyans at the fort will make peace with them but not the world, I want all of the alliance to see paradis getting exterminated and then they too eventually will be murdered for safety measure by the world
IT'S SHIT, IT CAN'T BE FIXED, FUCK YOU ISAYAMA
It’s not fair to the rest of the characters, but I hope to see Levi at least get some form of happiness after all these years of sadness or at least catch a darn break.
japanese fans being happy
Jean and Connie alive. Like, Levi and the warriors could die and idc (I love them so much though). It’s just I can’t emotionally accept their deaths and on a narrative stand point, them dying on the before-to-last chapter ??? This SUCKS. It’s so cool and a genius move in a sadistic fucked up way but I want them alive and happy. I’m sure I made no sense but just,,, Jean and Connie alive. Idc how just make it happens Isayama
Jean and Connie and Gabi turn back human plzzzz
Jean and Connie back I’m sad
Jean and Connie coming back
Jean and connie going back into human form, AND all of this is over and no titan at all.
Jean and Connie live
Jean and Connie not being fucking mindless Titans
Jean and Connie somehow return... they deserve it
Jean and Connie staying in titan form or getting killed and Levi passing on - he needs to rest :(
jean and connie transforming into humans again. jean confessing to mikasa & ending up with her.
jean comes back and gets to have a family. oh and levi owning a tea shop
Jean coming back 😐 or if jean fully dies I absolutely will not be okay unless jean sees marco in heaven/ I want them to have a long talk
Jean coming back to human form
Jean coming back to life
Jean coming back to life. Everyone lives happily ever after
JEAN CONNIE AND GABI COME BACK TO LIFE PLS
JEAN CONNIE AND REINER ALIVE AND WELL
Jean connie gabi back   and the guy with armor don't die  
JEAN HAVING A HAPPY NORMAL LIFE. Ymir has proved to be able to bring back people to life (titan shifters aka Zeke). I wouldn't be surprised if she brings back Eren as well. Her witnessing the kiss is very important. She probably longed for love but never received it. In the end she'll discard the titan powers and everyone turns back to normal. I wouldn't be surprised if she wipes out everyone's memories like the king did. There's a lot of possibilities of what might happen, but I wan to believe that Aot will have a happy ending. Again, I wouldn't be surprised if Eren comes back to life and ends up running away with Mikasa like in their au. I'm expecting a timeskip as well. We'll see all the characters and their lives after everything that has happened. Maybe the one holding the baby is actually Eren, but instead of Historia's baby, he's holding his and Mikasa's. Or perhaps it's Jean, who knows.
Jean is happy
Jean isn't dead.

LEVI/RICO
louise and hitch lesbian sex scene
Lowkey kinda want reiner’s suffering to finally end
Madagascar
Magic door to other chapters 🙃
Make it all make sense
Making peace with Ymir in Paths, an end to the Titan curse, or at least the surviving shifters getting to live long lives in peace, Reiner finally getting his hero moment that finally unites Marleyans and Eldians. Paths goodbye between Eren and his friends. I don't mind either way, I'm sure that Isayama will deliver
Man give me a happy ending. Eren ends titan curse, loves a long life with all the pals back on laradis, marley is too fucked to do anything. Gimme peace and twisted shit
Man I just want any kind of ending
Man I just want the Warriors to be happy...
Many explanations : what are ymir's motivations? What is the hallucigenia? What the what???
Marleyan and Eldians helping one another
Mass murder and Eren and Historia's baby as the only survivors
May everything be resolved, the  historia's baby, annie and armin together, may jean and connie survive
May I please have a crumb of Ereh POV
Maybe a glimpse of Carla one last time. But I seriously doubt it
Maybe one final departing talk with Eren, but at the very least just a complete resolution of the plot points and what happens with the world after
maybe uhm a heart warming or a wholesome extra panel of the aot characters (dead and alive characters please 😭)
Moar birbs
Moar Pain
MONKE
Mr Leonhardt POV and hopefully Marcel POV and more gabi aimbot
Nothing. I may sound very hopeless, but that's it. There are no more rules, Isayama does what he wants. A flying donkey may appear and everyone will applaud, so that's it.
nothing. it will all be meaningless.
og ymir fixes the curse and the scouts turn back into human
og ymir pov, how much the world is destroyed and how many are left alive
OH IDK MAYBE, LIKE, IT ANSWERS THE HUNDREDS OF QUESTIONS WE STILL HAVE
Old Armin and annie
One final dark twist that leads to the alliance failing despite everything
One final moment of Erwin
One last big twist.
One last EMA moment or a flashback to the whole squad
One last EMA moment, Ymir's POV, Eren POV,  Post rumbling world, Levi's teashop, Armin and Annie having blonde kids, Hizuru princess Mikasa, Jean being well and marrying a black haired woman, Lord Cornelius being well and seeing his mom again, Reiner being Reiner.
one last ema reunion through paths
One last look at Eren-kun
One last plot twist, even if it's a small one. Also a small epilogue.
One more Eren and Mikasa interaction
one more Marcel-getting-eaten flashback, for old times sake
Onyakopon
Peace, I guess? Armin and Annie handholding? Pieks dump truck one last time e
Please answer the questions
please dear god let levi survive
Please heal my heart 🥺
PLEASE JUST MAKE CONNIE AND JEAN LIVE
Please why grisha gave eren his titans if he knew what eren will be doing ??
Please, I just need to Jean and Connie alive even though I don't want Reiner to die. Pls let Reiner die
PLSSSS I JUST WANT idk im a mess
Point a view of Eren, his internal battle
Queen Rico Brenzka Obviously
Read everything again, talk about how great this journey was and enjoy every little moment before and after this magnificent work of art comes to an unavoidable ending. I won't complain and regret no matter what. Just want to see materialised Isayama's last chapter.
Real hope. Not manga love or hope like in shonen where all can be resolve with the power of love, but real hope about our real world
Really hope we get to see one scene where they laugh. just one that’s all I want
Reibert seccs
Reiner and The Other alive
Reiner at peace.
Reiner being Helos and staying alive along with Falco.
Reiner Bertholdt paths reunion but idk if there would be place for it given theres only 45 pages left
reiner character resolution, the baby panel, current situation in paradis, the world's resolution after rumbling, how did the attack titan got lost at the first place, the titan resolution (maybe og ymir erases titan power and the curse) . dammit there are so many things I want to know but there's only 1 chapter left
Reiner death
Reiner die, the guy needs to rest
Reiner doing something cool, some explanation about Eren because his character makes zero sense right now.
reiner lives, eren pays for his sins in the afterlife somehow, mikasa and armin talk/ growing old as homies
Reiner meeting Historia would be cool. Also interested to see what Mikasa and Levi will do after it's over.
Reiner motherfcking helos achieving something once in his life and finding peace one way or another. Also bert and freckled ymir once more isayama i beg you
Reiner not dead (all the titanised people would be nice too)
Resolution. If this has an open ending, I'm probably gonna lose my shit.
Rest of the world getting rumbled and paradis being free
retcon of last couple chapters
reunion of Reiner and Historia pls
Rico
Rico Brzenska <3
RICO GIVE ME RICO RICO RICO
rico pls
Rico. (In all seriousness, I wanna see Yams go all out with a 19th century style German Romantic illustration with the entire cast.)
Riko :(
sasha, hange, and erwin's afterlife omj
Satisfaction, whatever it takes i need an epic end
Satisfactory conclusion. Explanation on Historia and the aftermath/time skip if possible
Satisfying conclusion.
Satisfying conclusion. I trust you Yams, you haven’t disappointed me yet.
Satisfying ending for the heroes.
Scientific explanation
Secret of Earth devil, great titan war, Which thing's eren saw in his attack titan Future vision, Who is the father of Historia baby? What happened to zeke beast titan since he not passed down his titan
see a lil smile I swear aot made my mental health wack as hell
See all titans revert back to humans and see the rest of the main cast live happily ever after
Solution to the curse of the titans. Historia. I don't care if it's a cheap but the titianised people to come back. A shaky peace in the world. And of course a bittersweet ending. Seeing the final panel gave me that feeling so I hope the final chapter invokes those feelings.
Solving the mystery "Try to stab your sword at their ass, it's their second weakness" - Reiner Braun
Some Eren POV. A final goodbye between EMA. The curse being lifted. And hopefully at least 1 major death for some emotional impact.
some explaination from eren, ymir, world scenario etc
Some fucking answers
Some fucking closure at least. The final arc is so bad I honestly just want it to end. Maybe turn the titans back to humans, fucking unnecessary conflict at the two last chapters because you can’t end a series. The exact same thing happened in Demon Slayer btw.
Some general feeling of hope that they did manage to break the cycle & things might go a little bit better from now on
Some goddman explanations as to what the fuck Ymir plans is.Some kind of dialogue from Eren, it's been so fucking long man.
Some kind of epilouge about how our remaining characters remaining lives were ( yes i believe the others are gonna get de-titanized i refuse to accept anything else) I just need to know that they finally get the hapiness they deserve. Also some explanation on some of those shards 👀👀👀👀
Some kind of reunion between the main characters
Some kind of statement on ending the cycle of violence.
something about the scene where Hange dies does not sit right with me, I feel like it was more important then just a way to show everyone who died for the same cause.
Something Ackerman-related (Ackertalk, Ackerlore, Ackerepilogue etc)
something amazing and hopefully not too sad
Something bitter sweet.
THE AU THEORY BEING CONFIRMED TRUE BABY
The author adimiting SNK is trash and remaking everything
The baby
the baby ,eren in paths, and him talking to his father
The baby & a happy ending
the baby, reiner being depressed as usual
the end of my restless agony
The end of titans, Reiner finally dying, Connie reuniting with his mother, more clarity about Ymir’s motives, possible Eren POV in Paths
The End, You Are Free, or maybe End of the Path
The ending
the fake review will be continued and still be connected
The far future after all this titan stuff and everyone's lives
the fate of the shifters/those mindlessly transformed
The fate of the titanized Eldians, confirmation on whether the power of the tians is ended for good, a final conclusion to Historia's character, and some final thoughts from Eren.
The father of Historia’s baby revealed. Eren’s POV. Armin and Annie getting a happy ending + Curse of Ymir lifted. Reiner getting the death he wants. Jean and Connie living somehow. Halle-Chan finally being destroyed
The final chapter is the only thing i'm waiting forr
The final panel
The forgotten moment when Grisha gets eaten by Eren
The fucking baby daddy who the fuck is it.
The full context of the "You are free"  shit.
The history of the Ackerman clan, the life of Ymir, the afterlife, the real reason why Eren Rumbling, Armin's parents and other unsolved mysteries
The last panel is a cliffhanger to Eren restarting the rumbling with the baby
The living living happily ever after
The loop with Eren waking up in chap 1
The main crew reunite through paths or something.
The memory when Eren ate Grisha, what Eren teased to Zeke
The Mikasa vs. Annie fight that got teased in season 2
The mindless titans on Paradis turning back into humans and an explanation for that Dina memory shard!!
The motives behind the actions of eren
The new timeline and the explaination between the relationship of eren and mikasas time switch abilitys if you rewatch lost girls from mikasa its right before your eyes
The new world that exists after the rumbling
The path
The people in paths coming back to life
The power of the Titans being erased, and historia revealing Eren is the father
THE PROBLEM IS ALL SOLVED
THE RUMBLING CONTINUE LMFAO.
THE RUMBLING MUST BE STOPPED AND I WANT EVERYONE IS ALIVE!!!!
The scouts being happy and together is all i want honestly...
The scouts being reverted back into humans
The shifter curse broken. Let precious bean Falco live beyond 13 years!
The situation in Paradis Island
The surviving characters getting their peace
The survivors being happy & at peace for once.
The titan curse disappearing.
The true nature of the "See you later" dream
THE TRUTH
the ultimate fate of the Eldians. whether they will get wiped out or cured
The vets ... 👀 (however few there may be) getting special medals of honor or statues or sumthn. Idk. Lemme dream. Levi and his tea shop. Blends named/themed after his fallen comrades.
The walls being rebuilt
the warriors getting the spotlight tbh. sick of Mikasa's drama
the world after the rumbling, eren POV please, historia’s baby, armin and mikasa living their life away from that. a
the world change its opinions about the Eldians and thinks that they also the same human beings. however, that wouldn't change the fact about the horrifying history, but I hope they live in the present, not in the past.
The world Hange entered when she died, I wonder if it’s part of the paths
THEIR SMILES!!! PEACE!!! LEVI RESTING!!!
THEM ALL TO BE HAPPY but we all know that ain’t happening bc umm .. it’s isayama :|
them being happy
Thematic resolution
There is too much to fit in only 1 chapter
These mfs deserve a happy ending 😫
they cover every mystery that is unsolved up till now, so many things need to be cleared out but only 45 pages which is stressing me out
To leave me a broken wreck in the most perfect way possible. Enough answers to cover all questions even if they're hidden or hard to spot. Reiner not dying would be good.
To Me, 2000 Years From Now
Too many things like what made grisha give eren his titan why bertholdt tried to eat reiner then helped annie 2 chapters later why eren never used his full power to stop the alliance AND HOW IN THE HELL DID THEY JUST COME BACK TO LIFE TO HELP THE ALLIANCE WHY THE FUCK IS KRUGER HELPING THEM WTF???
Too many things to fit into one 45 page chapter, so really I have no hope.
True happiness
Tying loose ends 😐😐 and might be unrealistic, but something that’s a LITTLE HAPPY
uh, i just want to be well written, i m ok with all of the cast dying, i ll be sad  but i m the one who started reading in the first place
Understanding the true purpose of Ymir (and her connection with Eren because I think there is more about it). But at this stage I just want those characters having their deserved conclusion after their depressing and exhausting journey
Very much to be honest. The thing is that one chapter imo isn't enough to even scratch the surface of all supposed plotholes... If isayama somehow wrap it up to be beliveable and solid ending i will take back all my harsh words about series lasy arc. But its wishful thinking ;/.
Want the Rumbling to succeed and Eren to kill all his bitchass fake friends
war. death.
We need 45 pages of Eren and Ymir building castles and making sandangels in paths.
We need if they are going to break the 13 years curse so Armin can live longer
We need to see Eren, Historias baby, and see what happens to the rest of the characters.
Well I feel like we’ll definitely see Eren again and it isn’t over for him yet.
what the afterlife looks like
What the fuck is that vial labeled “braun”
What the remaining alive characters will do now that the rumbling is over but the world is no more
What was Eren's plan after the rumbling because I'm sure even he knew it won't solve everything.
What were Eren's true intentions with the rumbling. And the paths being destroyed.
what will happen with paradis
What will the characters do after the rumbling
Whatever Eren showed Grisha that influenced him into passing on his Titans to him.
Whatever Isayama has prepared.  I don't think he'll let us down.
whatever yams has planned

Where the eldians from Marley will go
WHERE THE FUCK IS RICO BRZENSKA

  WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING PLATFORMS DO YOU USE TO DISCUSS THE SERIES? 3,723 responses
Tumblr media
Reddit and Twitter's neck-and-neck battle continues with Reddit again taking the lead after a shameful defeat last month. This time Reddit leads with not just a plurality but an actual majority of all votes on discussion location—over half of respondents discuss the series on Reddit, whether or not it’s their primary discussion location. Twitter takes a close second, and “In real life” a distant third. In order behind that is Discord, followed by YouTube, Instagram, Tiktok, Tumblr, Facebook, “I don’t”, the Wiki, s.. s, Snapchat.., 4chan, Twitch, and Steam. Having had considerable time to ponder the fact that the team has made this question multi-select, I’ve concluded that it must have been an inside job designed to outsize the influence of Snapchat. I’ll note that as recently as Chapter 129, all of three people voted for Snapchat. The last chapter for which this question was formatted as “Where do you primarily discuss the series” as opposed to “Which of the following platforms do you use to discuss the series”, was Chapter 136, which saw fifty-nine “primary snapchatters”. Now that could be the respondents playing a(n) (un)funny practical joke on me. Yes, this could be the case, but we’ll notice that in seven months, the number of Snapchat users grew by nearly 20 times, and one month after, the question became multi-select, bumping Snapchat up to 86 votes in Chapter 137, and 152 votes by the time of this poll. This can’t be a coincidence, it’s calculated… coordinated…..

nothing huehue this poll is making me cry
Jean’s titan-form was creepy af. Like one of the vampires from ”30 days of night”. Karina’s was very reminiscent of the smiling titan.
I would love for Reiner to get closure about Bert’s death. Sure, I say that as a Reibert-shipper, but also because it deserves to be addressed properly.
I don’t want Ymir’s curse to be completely undone, though that seems very likely to happen. I’d like for Annie or Armin to feed themselves to Connie’s mom, in case the curse remains.
I didn’t really think about the warriors losing their families as being ”payback” tbh. It just looks like another cruel twist of fate to me.
I'm just feeling intimidated coz I feel like a lousy fan now that did not remember most of the unsolved subplots and haven't analysed the happenings seriously.
I know that in snk characters don't always get the ending they deserve (be it good or bad) but that's where the framing is supposed to come in to recontextualise it??? and here the narrative just fucked up. now 90% of the fans see Eren as a poor victim of circumstances, crushed by his duty and his guilt, and eremika as this tragic beautiful romance LMAO i have to laugh. meanwhile Erwin, Bertholdt, Willy and even Ymir (sHe abANdoNed hiSToriA) who were infinitely better people than Eren was, are still demonised by the fandom. love this chapter for validating and woobifying Eren :) i don't care if that wasn't isayama's intention, he tends to rely a lot on ambiguous storytelling and it's not a good thing.
aot is just fanfiction for aot junior high
did eren ever dream of aaron yogurt?
F*ck the stupid worm, tentacle, hallucigenia etc. (the things it did this chapter were really funny -_-) !hahan't! - I just don't feel it "real" and serious for the story. I hope many things will be explained.
I thought Eren turning into a Colossal Titan was an Asspull. How did he do that exactly?
I thought Eren's Colossal Titan form was perfect. He became the thing that ruined his life initially, and didn't go out like a loser.
This is what I've wanted for Mikasa all along. I always thought the rumbling would only end with Eren dying and I wanted Mikasa to be the one to kill him. I'm so glad Yams vindicated me.
Jean and Connie went out perfectly but damn it cut
mikasa kissing the sad uwu genocidal boy was absolutely disgusting and the fact that this was the focus of the chapter (and not EREN'S DEATH), the fact that we're giving such a warm send off to the guy who put the entire world through hell because he was a whiny entitled bitch - i'm speechless lmao. eren single-handedly made everyone - and i mean EVERYONE - miserable. it's ironic, because when he cried about how he should never have been born in uprising we were supposed to disagree with him, turns out he was actually right and that's the one thing i can compliment isayama for bc he's good at stuff like that lol.
Literally the worst chapter of this manga. I want the past seven years of my life back now.
Lmao no offense but I'm really disappointed that until the end, Mikasa's whole personality is still just "simp"
Lmao tell me Jean’s pure Titan don’t actually look like a horse.
LMAOOOOOOOOOO JEANS TITAN IS UGLY ASFFFFF 💀💀💀💀
“Oh the writing is so good, the character arcs blah blah blah” bullshit. Character arcs were thrown out the window as soon as the rumbling started. This whole last arc has been bs after bs, and the only good chapters were the dream scape ones. And even that had Eren give a speech to Ymir. It’s bad, but most people saying have faith in Isayama haven’t read a book in years. Stephen King may kill characters like how he counts on his fingers, but he knows the right time to. He sometimes can’t land endings, but he knows how to wrap up conflict before the last chapters. Dark story my ass, Berserk does this shit better but fucking hell the poor mangaka can’t have a steady release date for his life. He literally spends more time drawing naked children than anything else, but that’s another story. Just because a story is dark does not mean pacing should be off the charts. If we complained that the alliance was surviving against literal titan gods that took multiple armies to take out, why do you think we would be happy for unnecessary titan shifting. If the Hallucigenia, Ymir, or Eren were smart enough they would make more titan shifters. Oh wait, you can’t use two powers after one times in this manga. Like separating consciousness, literally any of the warhammer abilities apparently, infinite fucking titan shifters, or if Eren wanted to win he could become the 240m skeleton he was. Or Eren could just stop wasting time and heal from his head, he only had a couple of days to do it. The pacing and quality of writing dropped after it was apparent Gabi was supposed to be the counter to Eren, it was clear as fucking day honestly. The Mikasa dream thing was cool though, but was saved towards the end after all the bullshit was before it.
#freeonyankopon
~i wish I COULD BE WITH HER 'til my last day~ CALL YOUR NAME WAS FROM EREN'S PERSPECTIVE ALL ALONG MY LIFE IS A LIE
A lot of people are salty because they thought they were getting a shonen ending but I choose to follow what isayama is telling instead. A very AOT-esque ending and I could not ask for anything better so far
A lot of unexpected Twists. Can't wait for the final chapter.
A very good chapter
Aaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaa
Aaron Yogurt best boy. Levi better not die. And Hange needs to be revived.
Aaron Yogurt best househusband
aaron yogurt got an undercut, personally i think it's hawt
Aaron Yogurt is a great name.
aaron yogurt lame
Aaron Yogurt must burn
About Mikasa's dream: I don't know wether or not it's an alternative reality, but this chapter felt very similar to the Lost Girls manga. From Grisha telling Mikasa that he thought Eren could change if he spent more time with her surrounded by the nature, to even the inevitable conclusion: Eren carried death within himself and no matter how much Mikasa tried, she couldn't prevent him from dying.
Made me unable to speak
MAKE A INCREDIBLE ENDING
make brain think
Man. that colossal clash was fucking pog
FUCKING SAD DUDE I AM SO SAD BRING THEM BACK PLEASSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
FULL OF PAIN
Gave me depression
All my interest in the story vanished when Ymir was revealed as an EreMika shipper. No more theorising is now left. My mind is blank because I just don't care. The stupidity is too underwhelming for me to handle.
alright
Although I was at first really pissed we didn't get a strict Eren POV (although we still could next chapter, but I doubt it), I kinda realized I was ok with it. Eren didn't have a grand plan, he was never a Light or Lelouch, he just wanted to rumble for freedom and his friends. He kept going with it, even if he had to become a colossus himself to finish it. That was Eren all along and what I always liked about him. While I wished we had seen more from his perspective, I wonder if some big brain plan of his might've discredited his character a bit. Even if he didn't fully succeed, he wanted to rumble, and he did until his death. That's what I loved, that he was unrelenting until death, even if he was dreaming/asleep. His death was beautiful.
Although the warriors "redeemed" themselves by stopping the rumbling, it still doesn't excuse what they had done back in Paradis. So their loss is justified.
Am gonna be mad if final chapter starts with time skip but am calling it
Back when I was in college I took a writing class where I was given some advice that really stuck with me - Kill Your Darlings, or take out those cool little ideas that ultimately don't fit with your story or will interfere with the parts that are really important. When I think about some of the more bizarre inclusions that arguably contradict previous lore or about how the meta details like wanting to end at 139 and apparently having an Armin-Mikasa-Eren structure for the last chapters have screwed up the pacing of the final arc, I really feel that Isayama had a few more darlings he probably should have killed.
Best chapter since 131. Gut-wrenchingly tragic and painful in the best possible way. Titanizing everyone was cruel, but doing so just before Annie and her dad could actually hug was especially cruel. And Mikasa finally got the development she needed and deserved.
Best chapter story wise, emotionally, it’s the worst, i’ve never been so hurt.
Chapter was rushed. Isayama miscalculated the amount of chapters he needed to properly end the series. I’m also very worried he might not go with his original/darker ending in favor of a more shounen one. EREN NEEDS TO WIN
Clumsy writing, too much of the story is being rushed at the very end. Too many things are happening that do absolutely nothing to advance the plot, such as having the characters transform into titans, or having Eren appear as a colossal titan. The writer is just making up new abilities and rules on the spot. This final battle should have been started a lot sooner, with 3 or 4 chapters left at the end to serve as an epilogue that would have tied up all the loose plot threads.
Colossal Eren was seriously the Devil himself! Colossal 1v1 was Hype AF. With Connie and Jean we lost 2 real ones... R.I.P. at least they gave everything to save the World I really thought IF they die they could die like heroes not like Helpless civillians. I really wanna know what the Spine Creature is! It hurts to see Marleyans and Eldians stick together and rhe the Marleyans nightmares became real....
Confusing, gonna need some more closing elements to have a opinion.
connie and jean deserved better
Connie and Jeans send off hit me like a punch to the face. I was expecting a lighter chapter as the story winded down, and this was not that. Also the parallels with Mikasa's imaginary world and the first chapter of Attack on Titan was really well done.
Disappointed that the whole Fort Slava cliffhanger ended with literally the most predictable outcome ever. At the very least, I hope the Titanized people stay that way since otherwise half of this chapter would've been a waste on that front to generate cheap drama.
Disappointed, but maybe next chapter makes up for it!
Eldians transforming into titans was mega cringe and felt like a total asspull. The kiss was unbelievably cringe.
em canon and im crying
EM doesn’t deserve Armin if they would’ve really leave him behind like that smh ... my boy
Eren still alive
Eren the GOAT. Mikasa the GOAT. Armin the GOAT. That showdown between him and Eren was ICONIC.
Eren's death which was bound to happen btw, was unnecessarily long. I would have liked to see more of what happens after Eren dies so would have preferred if he died two chapters ago ideally. But whatever I guess. Also, why did Jean have to turn into a titan?😞 Also, I thought the whole Mikasa kissing Eren's decapitated head was just a meme edit or something. But its real. Don't know what I feel about that.
FUCK THIS SHIT SERIES AND THIS SHIT AUTHOR
FUCK YOU ISAYAMA FOR TURNING JEAN AND CONNIE INTO TITANS! FUCK. YOU.
Fuck you Isayama you amazing guy you
Full of hopes for the remaining characters
gabi should be turned back into human
gave more questions than answers (as usual). the twists and turns that happened in this chapter was a lot to take in. like a LOT. it definitely got me more hyped to see 139 because if this is just the penultimate setup i can barely imagine what kind of bombshell isayama would drop on us for the last chapter?? also i want to imagine that the last chapter would have a peaceful ending but with the way 138 setup everything.... [looks at the camera]
GAWD DAMNIT YAMS
Generally fantastic, I still hate 137 but this one worked wonders for me
Give em some slack Isayama lol
Give me more pain pls. Thx luv♥🙇 this may be not related to the question but for the people reading this, Thank you for the hard work, stay safe, be safe, ignore the hate. And for Isayama, Thank you for making such beautiful Manga, ignore the hate, take a rest, and thank you for making my view in life change, for you and your family be safe and have a nice day, I love you, your family, friends, and people you love, this also goes for the workers, and people who helped you with the show, anime, and manga, for Attack on Titan! Shinzou Wo Sasageyo!! Dedicate your Heart! I love you all and thank you all! (As a fan, supporter and a friend.)♥
Give me yumikuri or give me death (I think I know my fate by now)
Glad Mikasa stopped being an idiot
Glad the chadren fantasy came crashing down and he was slain by the other Superior characters lmao. Keep crying incels. Malewife eren>>> genocidal clownren
Glad to have another of my ships end with one person killing the other, I have an Impeccable Taste™ and an infinite love for tragedies, I'M SO HAPPY. I would be strongly disappointed if any other person than Mikasa dealt the killing blow. It needed to be her. I'm so happy, I love Mikasa so much right now, I love her character development. She started as my first aot fave, then I got interested in other characters and sidelined her for a long time and now she definitely came back to my top 4, just by the grace of this one chapter. God, I love this so fucking much, it was truly a dream came true, it was everything I wanted, it was cruel and beautiful, it was so fucking good!!!
A lot of other things happen in the chapter I know but I don't think I've been able to process all of it yet, my thoughts are still a jumbled mess lol.
head empty, just pain
Head empty. Only Pain. And Fear.
HOLY FUCK I CAN'T
Honestly didn't expect the titanization of Jean and co, but boy was it painful. Even in the end Isayama finds new ways to hurt and surprise us.
Honestly didn’t expect this at all but I definitely felt this is was a great introspective on the two characters that really started us on this journey.
Honestly it raised more questions than answers and I hope Isayama answers some of the remaining questions.
honestly not the worst but not a fan of the chapter
Honestly sad, Idk how they can wrap it up.
honestly so far what a amazing chapter
Honestly think that stopping the Rumbling was a really dumb move. Basically Paradise is the only one with nukes and the world is going to be super paranoid now that they've actually used them. So everyone is going to team up and kill every last Eldian to make something like this isn't possible at all. The Rumbling was an all or nothing and since they stopped it half-way Paradise/Eldians are going to be absolutely fucked. There's absolutely no way this is going to end the hate between them, like people don't bond against evil really.
Honestly, It's painful for me. Especially, Connie and Jean being titanized because their mothers are still waiting for them in Paradis, Falco's dream about marrying Gabi was shattered, Annie and her father's reunion after how many years of waiting for her is very painful however, it was all temporary because he became a titan, mikasa is having a headache because I think, Eren's trying to manipulate her memory and everything was painful tho, I never expected it.
Honestly, part of me hopes that the ending of the whole story will have characters finally having peace and living their lives and having a break, but I feel like that isn't completely possible because yams is the type of person to pull something off last second and change a lot, but I mainly want a few things from 138 explained and just the future for the last few characters alive. This chapter to me will be the most mentally and emotionally draining because of everything that happened but its still a rlly rlly rlly good chapter.
honestly. it was just about everything i'd hoped for, despite i wasnt even sure exactly what it was i wanted to see. i had no expectations except that i just wanted it all to be tragic and heartbreaking- and holy hell it sure was, i havent gotten this heartbroken over a chapter in many months. i might just say this is one of my favorite chapters bc of the emotional wreck it made me lmfaooooo
i admit its a lil rush but its good and EMOTIONAL AS FUCK SO ISAYAMA BETTER PAY FOR MY THERAPY SESSION
I adore the final panel
i always get so amazed at how everything is perfectly placed and written like no one knows what's gonna happen even with all the clues that isayama left us and still no one knows what the last chapter is gonna look like and woah i don't think i'll ever enjoy something as much as aot it's truly a masterpiece
I am happy and sad with the way things are going. I want the story to end the way it has almost described itself "Cruel but beautiful".
I am hurt by this chapter and the fact its gonna end next month :(
I can see Isayama continue releasing AOT material which would become OVAs in the future solving some potential plot holes or the future of the characters we love
I can't believe the chapter 137 meltdown got beaten so swiftly by Evangelion 3+1
I can't handle anymore pain. Isa please bring us a bit of good
I can't sleep in peace because of this chapter. Kinda mind-blowing
I can’t believe next month is the last!
I can’t wait to see this animated.
I cannot fathom how anyone can think this chapter was okay. Absolutely butchered the entire story.
I cannot wait for it to be animated
I Cried
I cried a lot
i cried for three hours straight and if i think about it enough i can cry again
I cried so hard I got a headache. Isayama really has a talent to break our hearts and hope into pieces. I'm somehow glad that Eren is dead - after everything he did, he wouldn't be able to stay alive without any remorse or everybody hating him. The only thing I'm hoping for is that the transformed people will be turned back into Humans. Jean and Connie deserved so much better
I cried when I saw Mikasa kill then kiss Eren. Next chapter is the final chapter Isayama is just torturing us.
I don't think Eren's dead and Ymir smiling means so many things
I don't want it to end
I don't want Reiner and Falco to die 😭
I don’t know how to feel about mikasa killing eren
I don’t know i wanna know the reason or if there is a deeper meaning in mikasa and erens au
i don’t know what i feel at this point of time, i an numb with all that has happened
I don’t know what to think of Mikasa’s and Eren’s relationship after this chapter. I don’t feel that Eren feels romantic love towards Mikasa, but it is a great love that the EMA trio feels towards each other. Also I just want Levi to survive this, I get that people want him to rest and all that, but I keep thinking about the speech Erwin gave in the Return to Shinganshina about the one who live will be the ones to keep their memories and achievements alive. And with Levi hopefully surviving all of this, will be the only one amongst the veterans who’ll actually keep their memories truthfully and share them accurately. But if he does die, then it is a well deserved final rest for him and we all would be sad, but happy for him nonetheless.
I don’t like living without Jean and connie
I don’t think “Aaron Yogurt” does a disservice to Eren’s character at all. Whether it’s a dream or an alternate reality, I think it shows that Eren could never be free if he chose another path.
I enjoyed seeing mikasa and eren finally together
I feel like a forehead kiss would have been MUCH less creepy, and also left some ambiguity wrt to EreMika imo.
I feel like a lot of people misunderstood the chapter and jumped to conclusions. I thought it was beautifully tragic and thought it was a solid ending for Mikasa's character arc and development.
I feel like I lost 6 years of my life in this series, unfortunately it's the same feeling I had with the end of Game of Thrones. I analyze the story and when that story circumvents its own rules for the convenience of the author, it disappoints me. Also, why we have so much discussion about the First King and his family and, in the end, none of them appeared?
I feel like we need 139 before we can truly judge this chapter. Could be a set up. Idk man. Yams made me have trust issues. But I still believe in him
I feel so emotionally exhausted but also satisfied in a way? If this is how it ends and final chapter is just showing them rebuilding the world I'm okay with it.
I'm still holding out hope that they can save Jean and Connie, I can't believe they're gone :(.  Every major character death so far has been so meaningful and has had so much impact, I feel like Isayama did them dirty.
I JUST WANT ARUANI :(((
I JUST WANT JEAN, CONNIE AND GABI TO BE REVERTED BACK😭
I JUST WANT SOME CLOSURE
I just want to know what Eren saw in the future that made him choose genocide over ANY other option
i loved it. idk. but it was just absolutely painful 😺 also i realized that connie and jean won’t be seeing sasha in the after life bc they’re titans now 😭😭 (i mean unless ymir breaks the curse)
I loved it. On one hand, it would be interesting/different to see Eren win in the end, but in reality Eren wouldn't be free. Isayama finally set the boy who sought freedom, free.
I mean its not what I want its not where I would've taken the story but its ok I guess.
I miss monke.
I need Eren's plan resolution.
I need the full picture to critize
I really didn’t have any emotions towards this chapter, when everyone turned I didn’t feel anything unfortunately. The chapter honestly felt off to me at first and it took a while for me to understand why, but I think I understand now and that’s because of mikasa’s perception of Eren. In her dream it was like eren had been stripped of all the quality’s that had made him my favourite character. I feel as if his true self coming into that dream was represented by the titan marks and that made me feel better about the whole situation.
I think Isayama is going too far with Jean and reiner. HE NEEDS TO GIVE THEM REST.
I think it was a great twist and the way events from the last get connected to now is amazing. It leaves so many questions that I hope get answered in the final chapter.
I think it was really cruel but beautiful
I think it was so cool, so much happened THE PLOT TWISTS DJNSIASJIS it was overall one of the best chapters in the entire AOT franchise I’d say
I think it's a lot better than previous chapters. but it's not 10/10 perfection. it's a fine chapter. I didn't care for the first half of the chapter. But I did find Mikasa's thing quite interesting mainly cuz it wasn't just another generic love moment, but rather more interesting conclusion of a relationship that would've never work. It was depressing, disturbing and selfish. Quite fitting than it was based around obsession.
I think maybe this chapter was too much. I feel like the ending starts to lose meaning with almost all the characters dead.
I think that it was very upsetting to titanize Jean & Gabi this late in the story. Both of them have amazing development & deserved happiness in the end. If they remain titans I’ll be upset but not surprised. I honestly feel like Levi should have died/should die & meet his fallen comrades in the afterlife. It seems like the happiest ending for him considering he has barely any friends left. I feel like Mikasa’s role & development is perfect. I’ve always wanted her to be the one to stop Eren. I think it was cruel to titanize the warrior’s families but hey it’s AoT whatcha gonna do abt it 🤷‍♂️
I think there has to be some kind of timeline shenanigans and that's the real source of Mikasa's headaches. I think Eren must have known he wouldn't complete the rumbling and would die, but felt he had to do it because it was the only future path where the Eldians got to survive.
i think this chapter was really well done, since the manga was created to have a tragic ending in the first place. all i really want is for all of them to be happy again but realistically we all know we won’t get the happy ending they all really deserve. there are so many things that may be clarified in the next/last chapter, and i’m genuinely terrified LMAO.
No thoughts just Levi’s sacrifice and his loss. Pain!!!
no thoughts only cry about it
No thoughts, only saltyness. Eren yeager>>>>>>aaron yogurt. Eren wouldn't abandon his fight for freedom to run away and let his friends suffer
Once again I am flabbergasted for this chapter,but I just hope that Isayama could make one more chapter Still convinced that Eren isn’t the father btw.
Stop asking for fks sake
Stop praising the complexities of Eren's character if you think Aaron Yogurt is not a part of it
Straight up don't know how things will be resolved in 45-50 pages, so I'm hoping against hope for an XL finale.
Super tragic, goes to show that Yams should never be doubted and that the ending won’t be “happy” or “sad” just like he said... it’ll be satisfying and open to interpretation in regards to how tragic/optimistic it is
Surprisingly painful, not a lot more to say. Jean was my favourite so I'm mad :-)
Tatakae
Thank god it's ending next month I'm so fed up. Anyways, Mikasa's dream is really confusing. It seems to be her fantasizing but obviously Eren was aware of the dream as we saw in chapter 1, which might mean he was the one sending her the dream? Who fucking knows. Reiner vs Worm-kun was kino. If someone eats Reiner it better be Gabi or I'm gonna lose it.
Thanks for shutting EH shippers down. They have ruined the fandom and Titanfolk with their trash theories and rabid hatred towards Mikasa.
That felt like in a horror movie where things are fine, but then SURPRISE the monster is still alive and kills one more person, THEN it dies, all for this sake of 'lol one more twist'.
That kiss was disturbing people who romanticize it are sick in the head.
Paradis will survive since the the rest of the world will perish I believe the rumbling will continue.
The curse of Ymir will definitely end by Eren and Ymir which will happen next chapter.
This chapter confirms to me that we will get Anr ending or something similar to it.
The warriors deserves that karma especially Annie since she's been receiving the princess treatment for a long time.
The conflict between the Eldians & Marleyans plus the world can't be solved that easily, the possibility of getting a peace ending is very low since it requires more chapters.
Mikasa arc was more ridiculous than I thought but all the hints were there from the beginning so it's no secret that she turns out like this, a yandere. She couldn't accept reality so she decides to dream about her ideal dream of being with Aaron which is not the real Eren who keeps moving forward. And she decides not to let go of him which would be her downfall and she will die next chapter.
They will all die
Think the whole Muller thing was lame, they had already stated that they were working to resolve their differences, the confrontation just wasted like 4 pages.
This cemented Attack on Titan as my top two favorite series ever. It’s a masterpiece. As a longtime Mikasa fan, I loved her character progression and the message behind her choice, even if it’s morbidly beautiful.
This chapter broke me
This chapter broke me to pieces and I'm still recovering.
This chapter makes me excited for the conclusion to the story, it's been a long ride.
Transforming all eldians into titans was truly unnecessary, but it showed how clever the glowing thing is.
Twisted plot just for drama and killing everyone. That's not original, Isayama, that's dissapointing af. After all this years, you keep this characters alive, the eldians surviving the rumbling, families getting finally reunited... just to kill them all as titans??? I want to throw hands at him.
U_U
UGGGHHH I wish Levi got to talk to Eren directly during this whole mess
Un bruh momento
Underwhelming for the penultimate chapter of a grand series
Wait, there's only one chapter left? I feel like there should be a whole volume to wrap this up.
Wait...Aaron Yogurt? KEKW
WTF, that was only the second kiss in the entire manga? Also Aaron Yogurt is fucking hilariousYet another chapter of pain. Losing Jean and Connie was much more devastating than I thought it would be.
Ymir do us all a favor and reset the timeline into a world without titans
Ymir real goals
Ymir sus
yo i just realized what happened to levi ?
yo this  poll is so long
The conundrum between whether its a dream or an AU is nerve racking,Erens character motives seem completely blank now, mikasa's arc ending was expected but still amazing.
The journey was amazing...but I'm sad now
the kiss that mikasa gave to eren wasn’t exactly necrophilia, I understand that it was a goodbye kiss but it was very morbid. ew
There is a quote of William Faulkner that George R. R. Martin uses to speak about his work, and I think it also can be used to summarize Attack on Titan, and specially this chapter: “The only thing worth writing about is the human heart in conflict with itself”.
There's a lot I haven't liked about the journey narratively but I guess this end destination isn't bad. I think Ymir's got something big up her sleeve...I wonder if she'll communicate with Eren via PATHS and they'll make some kind of deal because of the whole "deal with the devil" myth thing that Ymir had going on.
Zeke is best monke.
The culmination of a tragic destiny for one of the most tragic and doomed MC I've ever seen. He wasn't free, only the death was freedom.
Is this a dream? Why Eren keep on crying in every OVA
ISAYAMA BETTER PAY FOR MY THERAPIST
This chapter raised lots of questions that I would like to see answered on the final one or on a second Guidebook. I don't think this is over for Eren or any of the others yet. I am even more convinced that the manga will end with major hints to a loop that will never stop until the right path is taken. But I would be satisfied with every ending Isayama decides to give his story. I will also miss these polls a lot too, I can't believe AoT is really ending.
This chapter really hit us hard, emotionally so kudos to Isayama. He can now establish that spa he wanted to build.
Jean didn't get his last omelette:(
See you all in the last poll! It's been a wild ride :)
