Finally a character I can say I hate in this show: King Fritz.

[trickyagent]

I do like the 9 petal white flower, with a single petal soaked in blood (Ymirs blood might I add). I like to imagine that's a metaphor for the Attack Titan, as well, it fits pretty nicely imagery wise

[atlasprime]

I once thought that “To you, 2, 000 Years From Now” was meant to say that AOT takes place 2, 000 years from our timeline, and that the world reverted back to Medieval setting after the apocalypse from the Titan.

[philipripper]

I have a slightly different take.

In episode 1 humanity received a message from Ymir, specifically from Ymir 2, 000 years ago. Not only the visions to Eren which were from him gaining his Titan Memories (all the way back to 2, 000 years ago), but the Titans breaching the wall was also her legacy/message. It was a sad way of saying what happens now is because of something that happened 2, 000 years ago, and it's evocative of oppression. And in episode 80, it is Eren who sends a message to Ymir - that she is free. And this is called a message to 2, 000 years ago because it is a reply to what happened that day 2, 000 years ago -- to the girl who in a way is still living in that day. Message to Eren from Ymir. Message to Ymir from Eren. It's not the same message, but two different messages.

The 80 episodes between have been Eren working up the power and fighting to be able to reply to her.

[KoeSeer]

the opening scene in manga is even more cryptic than the anime.
In the manga, chapter 1, it was opened by Mikasa saying "see you later, Eren". In chapter 138, it was closed by Mikasa saying "see you later, Eren"

[ecpz]

So you guys know how ymir have to build a titan out of sand everytime they transform but in her much slower time universe, does that mean the moment eren successfully persuade ymir to do the rumbling with him ymir just started building the giant eren titan while zeke is begging her to stop? Lmao

[DeadlyLazer]

Ymir was always revered like a living god. The first titan. The one who brought Eldia global dominance. Then you realize she isn't a god. She's a victim. A victim of a cruel world. She's still that scared little girl running in the woods.

[ChrisReactz]

I like the symbolism of the “Alpha and Omega, beginning and end.” Ymir being the Alpha(the beginning) and Eren being the Omega(the end).

[kapsyvoneisenberg]

We can also say that because Ymir was the first Attack titan, she saw what Eren will do to her ("free her"), and that's why she chose him. And while we are at it, she saw Eren's desire for freedom (when he had the nightmare he already wanted to become a member of the survey corp) so she was like: I give you your freedom, to you, 2000 years later (Ymir's perspective) so I can get me my freedom, from you, 2000 years ago (again, her time).

[JustJulyo]

This show went from us vs them to everyone is right in the wrong way. Nothing is black and white but grey is an understatement for this given situation

[Hollowwsstory]

The "hallucegenia" bears resemblance to a very early earth organism that really lived. I think it's such an alien and lovecraftian touch that the thing that gave ymir the power of titans was some kind of evolved eldritch god from the dawn of life on earth.

[percivalsolana]

AOT ended before it started. Hajime Isayama played us ✨

[kirisokami]

i don’t think what Ymir is suffering from is Stockholm syndrome, she doesn’t empathize, identify or retains any of feelings of trust or affection towards her captor

i believe she acts the way she does because she has the idea of being slave drilled into her head, she doesn’t act as a slave because she believes in what her captor is doing but because she genuinely believes she doesn’t have a choice, as if there’s no other way to live

[andough]

Isayama doing full 1-80s like nobody's business.

[zons]

The 13 hands that symbolizes the 13 years after her getting the founding titan that she dies ( Curse Of Ymir)

[Maxisamo]

Another note some may not have noticed, Ymir's eyes represent her enslavement.

Eyes are a huge part in identifying people, so by keeping them shadowed and lacking detail, we cannot see her as a person, as she views herself as a slave.

But when she is finally set free, we see Ymir in full.

[josh]

flaco saw memories of the past ( or maybe future ) before he got the jaw titan in the first episode of season 4, he said weren't we just flying around fighting titans with swords?

[Kobe]

Can we all agree that, even though this anime gets a lot of attention, it is still heavily underrated? Like for the story and planning of this masterpiece

[blackcubes]

Ymir could also be described as a co-dependency relationship to the king which is dysfunctional, and sadly, occurs in real life from relationships to parents

[Floridamangaming]

Honestly i think the anime so far has done a fantastic job with the adaptation. it actually makes it easier to understand compared to the manga. Because they really emphasize the significance of it all with the cinematography and such. it gives me good bumps its so good. AoT feels like neon genesis evangelion but all the questions are answered and there's a actual pay off. thats the biggest issue i had with evangelion. There was no explanation or pay off for all the sci-fi and mystery. Its like narrative blue balls.
