Love how Eren manipulated Eren to make sure that he manipulates Eren.

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

My mind can't comprehend this isayama is truely a genius

Headcannon: Eren lives in the paths at the end of the series. He is connected to every eldian for generations to come (if they even exist at the end of the story). True freedom achieved.

Not exactly. Yes, AT holders can see memories of future AT holders, but the mechanism is that future AT holders can send back memories to previous AT holders, not vice versa. The distinction is important!

Grisha can see Eren's memories because Eren sends those back. However, it's future Eren who controls what he sends back because Grisha asks whether Carla is alive or not and why Eren won't show him more of the future.

I would have also just re-emphasized that Eren cannot see the future in all its detail. He saw bits of the future via what his future self sent back to Grisha. He doesn't know exactly how everything will play out (common misconception). Eren knows he's going to start the Rumbling but not how events play out for it to happen which is why he questions it all and why we also see him get caught off guard multiple times.

There's this brilliant predestination effect. Eren sees himself commit this mass genocide which depresses him which causes him to isolate himself from his friends. His initial attempts to try to prevent that future are perhaps what cause the events to unfold in a way to guarantee that future. Time is a flat circle.

On a side note - keep up the amazing content!

Sad fact: Grisha was telling Zeke to stop Eren but he still gives Eren the attack titan and there’s a reason for it, when giving Eren the titan serum, he tells Eren to avenge Carla, when he saw Zeke he did not yet know Carla was killed, his pain outweighed the fear he had for Erens plans and actually seems to have understood what he must’ve thoughts Erens reason for all of it was

Alternative title: eren bullying other shifters

[marquistf]

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

Everytume I rewatch an episode, it hits another nerve. This thing is a masterpiece

[snowlion]

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

Me pretending like i understand something this complex lol

[SeniorSmurf]

It is ironic that knowing the future robbed him of his freedom. No matter what he did, the outcome could never change. He was trapped - a bird in a cage.

[PabloHernandez-glij]

Brilliantly explained man thanks and no I'm not being sarcastic I sincerely mean that. 🙂👍

[UnknownGamer-bwkz]

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

[jeanmortie]

oh i see. This explanation is great and makes sense. Thank you!

[blxckleppxrd]

basically the story unfolded and eren was at the end of it and due to that, every previous attack titan was influenced and history was "re-written" to give a favorable end to eren.
definitely not what everyone thinks that eren is just "bad" and a mass murderer like nah, y'all pushed him to do it☠️

[ХлебушексКолбаской-вт]

Yumir's pain was so strong that she distributed her power, and only gave one titan the power to see the future. So that this titan becomes her revenge and Eren responds ❤😢

[ctag]

Eren casually changing the timeline so that it fits what he wants to happen

[andrettax]

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

This is why I personally think the attack titan is the second strongest of the nine titans
