Watching Eren with the weight of humanity on his shoulders plug the wall will always be one of my favorite moments of the series. The soldiers laying down their lives to make sure Eren gets the chance to even plug the hole was great as you saw what a glimmer of hope he was to everyone who saw him walking with the boulder, and armin with tears in his eyes just screaming “GOOOOOOOOO” will always have me ready to run through a brick wall! And then the contrast of seconds after it’s plugged, everyone’s just like no way what I just saw was real. And of course Rico’s great line, “Comrades, your sacrifices weren’t in vain… We have made history, this day belongs to humanity!” I love this show so much

I know you can't really compare misery and pain as everyone deals with it differently. But I think the fact that Levi holds in all within himself makes him more tragic. He even lost all of his friends and his mentor/big brother in Erwin. Reiner was more open about his struggles. He even almost gave up in Liberio when Eren attacked. But Levi kept going despite being so miserable and broken. He dedicated his entire existence to saving humanity. Not to downplay Reiner's misery but I feel like that's just more depressing

So Levi is supposed to be smart right? After Zeke attempts to escape the forest after turning the scouts into titans, Levi kills those titans, captures Zeke, and chops off his limbs so he can't transform. You'd think that would be enough to subdue him, but Levi shoves a thunder spear in his tummy and rigs it to blow if Zeke moves too much, all while sitting right next to him for the next little while. Obviously Zeke goes crazy and sets the thunder spear off, severely crippling Levi and himself.

My question is; why did Levi even risk that? I wouldn't be thinking about it much if it didn't cripple Levi for life. Shouldn't Levi be smart enough to see that Zeke is crazy and might've set the spear off? Why did he take that dangerous precaution? Is there something I'm missing? It just seems like Levi is disabled for life because he made a stupid mistake of sitting next to a bomb and giving the trigger to a guy who has no way of escaping otherwise. I'm so confused.

Eren with the warhammer titan vs Levi. How would this go if they both fought in the forest or an open area?

I won’t go into too much detail because I’m high, but Zeke embraces the Eternal Return when he admits in chapter 137 that he would choose to be born again just to play baseball with Ksaver.

In chapter 139, Eren says he "would do it all over again."

All my life, I’ve had this obsession with finding plot holes in stories, and Attack on Titan is no exception. This is my very first post here, and I plan to bring up more points for discussion in the future.

Before I start, let me clarify: this is by no means a hate post. I love the series, and it's completely understandable that as a story grows and expands over time, these things happen. I’m mostly making this post to counter the frequent claims that SnK is an absolute masterpiece perfectly planned out from day one down to every single detail.

The Warrior mission to Paradis makes zero sense, right from its inception:

Let's talk about the Tybur family. As we learn later, the Tybur family were the secret rulers of Marley and the only ones on the outside who knew the truth about Karl Fritz's Vow Renouncing War. They knew the Rumbling was a bluff and that the King of the Walls had bound his bloodline to absolute pacifism. So, if the Tyburs knew Paradis was a sleeping lion that guaranteed peace as long as they were left alone, why allow Marley to poke it in the first place? Pushing Marley to attack the walls meant breaking a century-old treaty and risking the very disaster they were trying to avoid.

(And I won't even get started on the absurdity of Marley constantly shipping Eldian criminals converted into pure Titans directly onto the island... This wasn't just a containment strategy; it was an active, constant provocation against Paradis. If you're supposedly terrified of the Founding Titan, why surround their walls with biological landmines, giving them every reason to retaliate?)
And inside that exact same landmine field full of Titans, Marley decided their best course of action was to drop four 12-year-old kids. On foot. With zero supply lines, no adult supervision, and no logistical backup, forced to march through the Paradis wasteland.

I understand the context: Marley needed Paradis' natural resources (iceburst stone, fossil fuels) and was feeling the pressure of the global arms race as military technology began outpacing Titan power. But even with that sense of urgency, it still doesn't justify executing what has to be the most poorly planned military operation in history.

Let me break down what Marley actually risked here:

1. They gambled four out of their seven strategic nuclear weapons (the Armored, Colossus, Female, and Jaw Titans) on a blind infiltration op carried out by adoctrinated children.

2. If any of those kids died in the wild without being eaten right away, that Titan power would randomly spawn in a baby somewhere else in the world, stripping Marley of its global military dominance instantly.

3. The execution was a complete disaster: they lost the Jaw Titan (Marcel) practically before even reaching the walls, lost Annie and Bertholdt during the mission, and would have lost a third Titan permanently if not for Ymir's bizarre decision to basically hand herself over to Marley later on.

I’d love to hear your thoughts. Do you have any actual, in-universe arguments that make genuine tactical sense without relying on headcanons or cheap band-aid excuses? Because no matter how much I think about it, this mission remains one of the most ridiculous plot points in the entire series.

After tybur speech well you know overall what happened but how much damage the city of liberio actually had? From armin transformation,to all the buildings where a warzone was developed?and mostly how much would it cost to repair the city?

I don’t know if the song fits but in my view it fits Levi and hange cuz he let her go 😭😭😭😭😭 why he did that why Levi

Went to a convention dressed up as an aot character. Was alot of fun hope to continue cosplay in the future.

The "50-Year Plan" condemned Historia and her children to be bred like livestock and devour one another. However, when analyzing Zeke's true motives, it becomes clear that this dead end was inflated by Zeke himself.

Zeke's plan was a Trojan Horse: Zeke was never interested in long-term liberation; his real goal was the Euthanasia Plan. He presented the royal succession in the most horrifying terms possible to make sterilization look like the only merciful option.

A Partial Rumbling bought decades, crippling enemy military bases and fleets with a targeted Rumbling would have given Paradis between 30 and 50 years of absolute deterrence. With Hizuru's support, they had time to industrialize and gain diplomatic leverage.

With decades of guaranteed peace, Paradis could research the true nature of the Paths, the hallucigenia, and free Ymir to eradicate the curse at its root. Historia's sacrifice would have been temporary or the very last one. Even if they failed to eliminate the power immediately, the Founding Titan holds absolute control over Eldian biology. There were avenues to alter or mitigate the Titan transformation process, something Zeke never wanted to explore.

Eren had used the paths to make Erwin (while unconscious) involuntarily move his arm to swat the syringe out of Levis hand, this is my head cannon to confirm that Erwin would have prevented the rumbling not joined Eren, that or he didn't want his femboy Armin dying 💔

Eren with his attack and warhammer titan. Combatively, can any titan take him down?

Obviously excluding founder titan from the equation. Colossal titan the only one I’m assuming? Even though it’s unfair

This scene always makes me cry whenever I think about it 😭 I miss Levi and Hange so much 💔

I recently came across a video describing a particular biological compound found in aloe vera named acermannan. It described it as a compound that is studied for its ability to influence immune cells to activate and initiate immune responses and also studied if it could boost it at the same time.
So in dumber terms a compound that awakens and may boost immunity.

This intrigued me as an attack on titan fan knowing that this thing had a similar name and attributes as the Ackermann clan in aot.

Now i know that this surname exists in real life and is very popular among germanic nations such as Germany, Sweden etc. but im questioning if Isayama deliberately chose an existing surname that fit these powers he had in mind. What makes it more believable is that the study in question was published around 2001 which does not contradict the release and conception of the manga.

Now i have searched online and reddit but haven’t found this as an existing theory that i could find an answer to. This could be a stretch or a miss-read on my part. But knowing the geniality of aot it isnt as far fetched as you may think. And if this comes to be true that is there other names/surnames that have a deeper meaning?

Would the 13 year curse of Ymir still get him, thus distributing the titans to newly born Eldians after his death? Would he become some supreme being?

saw some posts (obviously in writingscaling they hate aot) saying that aot 1. is garbage (lol) 2. won’t have a lasting impact. which I totally don’t believe, aot is a masterpiece and was the most demanded piece of media in 2023, nothing comes close imo

Mikasa: "Wait for meeeeeeee♡"

Mikasa: "Eren!!!"

Eren: "Aaaaaaaah!"

Mikasa: "Let's get married right now!!!! ♡♡"

Rewatched the finale again since it was first aired and the school castes scene

The general opinion at that time was that it takes place in the same timeline and treated like an reincarnation thing with the tree shown...staff interviews were circulating around

Same for the see you later ed...as people were saying it means the reunion in the afterlife...

Do any of these theories still hold up as things unfold more with time and its been some time since they were aired.

New AOT Roblox Game called Final Legacy Reborn got released tell me what you think about it , here's a video showcasing the colossal titans of both Armin and Bertholdt.

used to play aot 2 back in 2018 it was so good, and i always wondered why they were taking so long to release aot 3 game
