Eren is the victim, the hero, the villain and the writer of the story all at the same time

That moment when you realize Eren got grisha to spare rod reiss so historia can defeat him and become the queen so everyone in the Walls is united,so Eren later can kiss her hand and see in the future , that's crazy just crazy

My guy said, "This generation don't deserve this show. This should be released in the year 4000." Bruh, we're in the 2000s right now. The first chapter of this entire series is called "To You, 2000 Years From Now." This show literally IS for the year 4000! 😂🤣

Guys, do you see now why Krueger, the Owl, was able to remember Mikasa and Armin, when it should be impossible? He was seeing Grisha and Eren's memories of the future. Hence "whose memories are those?"

The reason Eren looked so scared when he kissed Historia's hand was because not only did he see his dad kill the family, but he saw HIS FUTURE SELF TELLING HIS DAD to kill them, which is why he was extremely shocked.

The author, Hajime Isayama, is truly a legend Love your guys appreciation for Zeke, especially in this episode

The writers name is Hajime Isayama and he once said when AOT is over his dream is to open a spa with the tears and sweat from his readers 😂😂😂😂… he’s the GOAT fr

-The creator is called "Hayime Isayama" - We didn't go back in time, just back in Grisha's memories through the paths - for a better and simpler explanation, eren was basically just livestreaming his memories of that exact moment to grisha. Really REALLY good reaction as usual from you guys

This, imo, is the greatest plot twist in TV history. How Isayama wrote and executed this to such perfection, I'll never know. It really is a once in a generation show. I look forward to your reaction to the next episode 👀

You guys missed this detail “When grisha was leaving the house and pulled out the key, he says I will tell to what’s in the basement to the future eren and he was looking straight at him”

It's crazy how many reactors miss the sarcasm in Eren's statement to Sieg that "Grisha was an asshole who would toss his family in a ditch to restore Eldia", and that "he's no longer brainwashed". Eren was like "yeah, whatever, can we just end this farce now?", but I guess few would expect such sarcasm from Eren.

Grisha's interaction with Zeke still gets me teary eyed lol

And that's why Eren in season 3 ep 6 ( when he chained in the cave) he said huh I've seen this place before ( but he can't exactly remember, Eren had the memory of the future all along)

The creator (mangaka) of this show is one person who is Hajime Isayama he’s a Japanese , he wrote this story in 2009 when he was 19 yrs only!! So yup he’s a genius

8:38 「ここで誰も続く人がいなかったら今までに死んだ人達の命が無駄になる」幼少期のエレンが言ったこの言葉はグリシャにとって何よりも重い。

Hajime Isayama. The genius. He got chronic backpain and devoted his 20s to mid 30s just for this story. I'm thankful AOT is done cause that man needs a long vacation.😂

Zeke : I am gonna save you little brother from our cruel father . Grisha : Zeke , please stop your demon baby brother .

Remember when Eren was still being kept imprisoned underground and had his freakout in front of Hanji, there was a scene where he was alone, looking into the mirror, staring straight into his own eyes and repeatedly chanting “fight”? Attack Titan inheritors see future memories from the perspective of their fellow inheritors/predecessors. By looking into the mirror at himself, he was most likely sending himself/Kruger/Grisha memories of an image of his reflection in the mirror, staring right at them and demanding that they remember to keep fighting with that incredibly grim, almost threatening expression on his face.

When you realise that neither Zeke nor Grisha were the ones who did the whole thing but it was all Eren from first to last😂 that's really really crazyy. At that time I was like " Eren fire man"😅

something u might not have noticed, Zeke called Grisha "father" for the first time after Grisha told him that he loved him

"This generation does not deserve this show, we dont!" will from now on be my favorite quote ever, thank you, totaly agree! Also, "the creators" is just one man, no, not a man.... Kami Da!

In the first chapter of the manga. When Grisha was leaving the house, he was looking shocked while holding the key. WIT Studio removed that panel from the first episode, but after watching this episode, you realize how clever Isayama is.

Remember Levi in Season 1 talking about Eren: "He is a real Monster, and im not talking about his titan abilities. No matter how hard he’s restrained, no matter what cage he’s put inside. He will never submit." Eren has always been the way he is since birt

8:05 you missed the BIG detail of Eren staring into Grisha's eyes at that moment.

this episode is quite possibly the greatest episode ever released

there is only one writer. his name is Hajime Isayama. please remember this for the future.

It’s not the show this generation deserves, but it’s the show that this generation needs, especially with all this conflict going on in the world

Something nobody gets on the first watch when Grisha notices Zeke in the basement is that was Eren. He was testing his ability with the attack titan. He sent his vision back to his dad of that moment, so when Grisha sat up asking if that was really Zeke infront of him, he was seeing that moment from Erens eyes. Prime example of the attack titans ability to send future memories (Erens) to a previous user (Grisha).

I always thought it was weird that the Owl told Grisha to find a partner and love someone inside the walls, like why would he care about that? Now after this episode came out my mind was blown because Eren made sure he was born and set many things in motion to secure his future. That is one of the wildest things I've ever seen.

"Some of the writers"... Yeah, I wouldn't believe this show is the work of one man, either (even if he had editors to refine it). It is, indeed, peak fiction.

The writer is one, the one who wrote the manga came up with this story. It's not multiple people but it's just Hajime Isayama and he is a genius! 😊😆

The crazy thing is that AOT was written by just one person,Hajime Isayama,and what's even crazier is that it was his first story.

The author of the original manga for this amazing anime is Hajime Isayama. He was a Japanese man, the son of an ordinary farmer. Additionally, what's hard to believe is the fact that Attack on Titan is his first debut!!!😱 He was 19 years old when he first brought the original idea for this story to a publisher. He grew up in a very small rural town surrounded by mountains. When he was young, he vaguely wondered what was beyond that mountain. He also wanted to get out of this small town. That was one of his important inspirations. Grisha's voice actor is great.

Attack on Titan is the highest order of excellence ever put into a watchable format.

Hajime Isayama wrote AOT. This is one of my best anime, when k saw Eren manipulating Grisha last year l had to go and rewatch everything 😂. The show is insane. I can't wait to see y'all's reaction to episode 21

I can’t explain how much i love your understanding for the show ! It keeps getting more complicated but you keep getting it all !

you know it is a goat episode when in the end of the episode, instead of discussing the story, we start to questioning the mind of the writers 😂

Grisha didn't so much hear future Eren, but remembered that he was there in that moment. The attack titan can send memories back to its previous holders (and be selective about it too), which means from their perspective, they can "remember" something from the future. And because Zeke put Eren into this memory, Eren was able to show Grisha this memory of Eren being there, coercing him into doing what he did. Basically, Grisha had memories of seeing through Eren's eyes. That's why he saw Zeke, because Eren was looking at him, for example in the basement. Or when Grisha pulled the key out he saw himself through Eren who was standing right in front of him. That's why he looked so disturbed at 9:12. This whole episode basically reveals that it was all Eren, all the way back to episode 1, if not even further. Remember the Owl knew about Mikasa & Armin, because that's Eren's memory. So how far did Eren manipulate not just his past self but also previous attack titan holders throughout history to lead everyone onto this path? This episode is when you learn that the whole previous part of the show is basically the villains tragic backstory. You should definitely re-watch this after you're done. Because now you can pay extra attention to the warriors and Eren and what they do and say, because there is a lot of foreshadowing and little easy to miss details that will blow your mind.

Hajime Isayama is a genius. I have heard that he drew the near-finished outline of AOT when he was a teenager.

AoT. S+++ tier anime. None of our normal brains deserve such greatness. This episode blew my mind at how DEEEP the story goes. SO MANY things we thought were just in the background become some of the most meaningful plot elements. Also, Grisha's VA was off the charts. AoT continues to hurt our brains... in a good way

“Our father manipulated you Eren.” “🎶 It might seem crazy what i’m boutta say. 🎶”

The reason why Grisha appeared to be able to touch both Eren and Zeke is because by way of the Attack Titan's power, Grisha can peek into the memories of future inheritors, and the experience of seeing himself and Zeke from Eren's POV is so surreal that to them, they exist in the same time and space and are thus able to interact with each other as if physically together. That's also why Grisha only sees Zeke from Eren's POV, and never explicitly reacted to Eren's presence, he's essentially staring at an estimation of where Eren's at when he's "looking" at him, when he's actually seeing himself from his POV.

I say it all the time, I'm so happy I am alive today to have witnessed this story come to an end. I have friends who didn't live long enough to see this show end the way that it did and ik they'd have lost their damn minds. It was a masterpiece. Isayama is a genius and so ahead of his time.

Seeing you two lost at words during the show and focusing on reading the subtitle was amusingly entertaining, especially Jeff couldn't look at the screen for sometime!! This show really twist up our emotion and with 10 episodes left this show still had many stories to hurt you emotionally. Just be ready! After I finish watch the show I wish I can lose my memory of AOT so I can watch it again without knowing anything hahahah

A few things- 1. we’ve seen paths before in s2 with Ymir when she “woke up from a long dream” 2. everything you’re going to see in the next episode is already in the s2 outro that Isayama asked to storyboard, 7 years ahead of even writing it in the manga. 3. Zeke could see Grisha because Eren was behind him, sending the memories through paths, allowing Grisha to see Zeke, so they didn’t really touch. 4. When Eren stood in-front of Grisha when he left home, Grisha was seeing himself in 3rd pov through Eren’s memories, terrifying. You can see this hinted in chapter 1 of the manga 5. this means Eren allowed Zeke to have the one thing he’s always longed for: a fathers love. 6. It’s not time travel, and there is no paradox. Eren can do this because of 3 reasons, the founders power, the Attack power and the contact with royal blood that allows him to use the founder freely whereas a founder with royal blood would be bound to the vow.

8:32 Man, these characters have came a long way! This series is amazing! 🙏🏽💪

I love this episode one of my favorites Hajima isayama is a genius the more you see the more everything make sense. Btw shout out to the voices actors its incredible the feelings make you feel in every scene.

the attack titan can see the future , through the memories of future attack titans . that's how The Owl ( Eren Kruger) was able to have memories of Mikasa and Armin when they weren't even born yet . that's how the Owl probably figured out Grisha would be his successor from the first time he saw him ( when he and his little sister got caught ) because he probably saw Grishas memories in advance

eren is a man of dignity. Bro saw all the spoilers and didnt spoil us

Best aot episode of all time. Mind blowing

You guys are smart bro, my brain wasn’t functioning in this episode 😂

Best episode of the entire show. And one of if not the vest episode of any show in general, of all time.

There's so Many subtle details to talk about in this episode ( aot in general, I suggest you guys watch the ova and rewatch aot in your free time with the info you have now you'll notice so many new things you didn't see in your first watch )

I agree-everyone should watch this show. It’s my first real anime, and I wasn’t sure I wanted to watch it at all, but now it’s my favorite show PERIOD. Of all shows. You’re at the point of it now that you’re seeing the genius of it and how it’s a masterpiece of writing. It’s such a crazy show, right? Love you guys for the frequent drops!

When Grisha said to Zeke, 'I love you', I cried, with a surprised look on my face. I had never experienced anything like this before

I'm a non anime fan here, in my opinion this show is special. Isayama is a damn genius

The only memory eren stopped to look at for a while was when he gave mikasa the scarf🥹

This show write only one writer and his name is Hajime Isayama, not writers

There is only one writer and his name is Hajime THE GOAT Isayama ❤

I feel so lucky to be born in this generation because of AOT

The voice acting in this anime is excellent. Ever since I was a little girl, I thought I could not enjoy real entertainment because English was not my first language. But thanks to AoT now I feel very lucky to be Japanese.

*There's only one writer. He's the creator of Attack On Titan and his name is Hajime Isayama. He's had the end of the story in mind since the very first episode.*

Isayama wrote this masterpiece

This might be a little out of topic but since you're about to finish AoT, i hope you can watch Haikyuu next!!! It's a sports anime and I know 100% you'll enjoy it and you'll love the stories and the characters... 🤗 Pretty please??! 🙏

YOU'RE RIGHT BRO, WE DONT DESERVE THIS SHOW

I have a crazy theory and suggestion for Isayama. What if he writes a spinoff about the first ever attack titan holder after Ymir's death. Then show the reach of Eren's manipulation. That would be crazy! But would love to have some more contents and story out of AOT. Long as Isayama is on the pen, I would love to digest it.

ISAYAMA THE GOAT! Eren is the only main character I know that was nominated for Best Antagonist and Best Protagonist at the same time.

Overall i thonk AoT handles flashbacks very well. Like 10 seconds into it you forget its a flashback and are like * WAIT WHAT?!?.

I'm finally getting my fiancée to watch AoT, and we're just getting into season 2. She hasn't watched any other anime besides bits of One Piece which i promised her I'll try if she gave AoT a chance. She was hooked with the season 1 cliffhangers and talks about her theories and I'm just like "yeah that's a great thought" because of how unexpected things actually turn out. I honestly can't wait until she sees the end of season 3 onwards. I think her brain will actually break as to why out of all the shows we've ever watched together, I kept telling her this one anime is special.

The Owl’s name is Eren 😂. You would think y’all would remember that.

gaslighting your own dad is another level.

When Grisha hugs Zeke It was like he was hugging the wind. Grisha watching through Eren's eyesball in the path.

We did see a hint to the Attack Titan's ability, which was the Owl mentioning saving Mikasa and Armin to Grisha.

The parallel between Attack Titan and Founding Titan is mind-blowing, Founding Titan's power is defined by it's predecessors but the Attack Titan's power is ultimately controlled by it's successors.

There are alot of foreshadowing moments in AOT… I suggest watching AOT foreshadowing tiktoks after finishing the series

Remember earlier in this season when Eren was repeating “fight” in the mirror locked in his cell right before he threatened Hange? That was him sending memories to Grisha so all of this can take place. That’s also how Grisha is seeing Zeke: through Eren’s eyes, Eren’s memories.

I agree with you and thats why I think the writter is indeed a genius. I will say another thing: This is his DEBUT, his FIRST story, can you imagine this guy in10 or 15 years with all the experience he will get?

Grisha's voice actor >>>>>>>>>>

From episode 4x23 onwards you can watch the opening

TEAM EREN HERE, FOREVER! ❤

The crazy thing is- there's only one writer. His name is Isayama and he surely is insane but so fn good xD Take a look at his soft pure face after you ended aot And it's so crazy that I almost forget Zeke slaughtered my man Erwin PLAYFULLY with joy after we've got all these Zeke episodes. Like I almost forgot him. Yes I surely feel bad for him but he wasn't even sorry that he killed all my scouts and the commander we needed for s4

Yess yeaaas!! i love ur posting quickly these days 😍😍😍😍😍😍

Finally you are in this episode. This episode shows the real story. But again, every episode we say that and the next one proves us we missed something

“This shit should be out in like 4000” I’m fkn dead 💀

my all time favorite episode

Its only one writer.

Is crazy to think about but the way grisha is able to see zeke is that eren is willingly at that time using the attack titan power to send memories of what he is looking at right now to his dad, so his dad was looking at zeke from eren’s pov, is like he was looking at himself talking to zeke. Mind blowing

from literally season 1 ep 1 with the dream!!!!!! like that nigga is literally jesus homelander thanos!!!! amazing writing

ISAYAMA 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

every generation deserves this show

goated show, goated reaction

Explanation: Grisha and all other attack titans before him have the power to see the MEMORIES of the future attack titans. But this is not as simple as that. In case of Eren he can sent his selected memories of his life to his past inheritors of attack titan (That is why Grisha didn't know fully about the future whether if Carla is safe and all.. But he still entrusted Eren the power of attack titan because of something Eren showed him about the future to keep moving forward). Coming back to the question how is Eren able to talk to Grisha? Literally speaking.. He is not or he cant. But Zeke brought him to the memories of Grisha destroying Royal family and Grisha is only seeing the memories (due to attack titans power) of Eren being in the memory then and there. This explains why Grisha is able to see Zeke as well. Grisha is not seeing zeke, instead he just sees Eren's Memories of Eren looking at Zeke then and there at that moment (Grisha just hugged air basically and not zeke). In Grisha's head all these memories are playing like a nightmare. He dose not see anything... its just lots of memories flowing in into his brain about the future of what Eren is showing him. NOW THE QUESTION COMES HOW DID EREN NEW ABOUT ALL THIS? (Because current attack titans can only see future attack titans memories). This is were the moment of Eren kissing Historia's hand comes in to place. Eren saw glimpses of everything...not it Full Detail..but... But he saw glimpse of everything that is going to happen in the future. He saw the memories of Zeke taking himself TO Grishas memories. Thats when he snapped. Remember Eren being cold since then? At this point Eren is just playing along. He knows whats coming... whether zeker dosnt like it or anyone else goes against him, it dosent matter. Because eren knows what going to happen. Grisha is not able to see the full details of the future. That is why he is asking Zeke to stop eren.

You guys looks defeated at the end of this episode lol, the mind blowing is too much to handle

Of course, while there may have been cooperation from the publisher’s representatives or others, the basic story of ‘Attack on Titan’ was created by Isayama alone.”

you should watch videos explaining this cuz its quite deep and mind blowing

jeff buzzed on the show monologuing this vid lol🙄

watching again season1-ep1

omg yall bout to release 21 too?

AOT is the most complex and beautifully written show ever. You guys said 'developed for your normal brain' i felt the same so you guys will have to pay extra mind to the end Finale episode, but once you understand the real meaning....you'll be awestruck. Real meaning is kinda hard in the last finale cuz of the fast pace. Even i got everything when i rewatched

Do you remember when Eren kissed Historia's hand? In that moment he saw the future. Because she have royal blood and he have the Attack Titan
