That face... when they finally showed her eyes... 2000 years of pain and sufferings summarized in one expression.... That gave me chills ngl.

Abt the "why don't they just erase the Titan powers thing", even if they could it would be very bad for them. Remember one of the main reasons why Marley attacked them is because they wanted the fossil fuels available on the island, without Titans to protect them they would be annihilated because they just don't have enough ppl plus their military is atleast a 100 years behind in terms of technology

People's reaction to "As a reward, I shall give you with my seed" are always the best LOL The body language is just *chef kiss*

Ymir having her eyes shaded over can be interpreted in many ways and you even touched on some of those in your discussion. One of my personal favorite interpretations is that Isayama gave her minimal facial features because we, the audience, always thought of Ymir and her powers as pretty much just a plot device to be in service of the characters' powers, a god or something beyond understanding. But after revealing her story you finally get to see her for what she is, just a person.

its crazy to think about how long ymir has been in paths. Every time a titan transforms she has to build it, which is like hours or even days happening in seconds. If its been 2000 years in reality, then imagine how many years it felt like to ymir

Episode 1: To You, in 2000 Years Season 4 Episode 21:From You, 2,000 Years Ago Every single thing in this series was set into motion the moment Ymir Fritz got the power of the Titans. Everything has come full circle, all leading up to Ymir and Eren unleashing the Rumbling together. What a ride.

The fact that Eren immediately transformed into his founding titan form without attaching his head to his body first truly shows the man's priorities. He never fails to amaze me.

Imagine you think you're a Marleyan and you hear the speech.

When Eren was standing at the shore in the final episode of Season 3, what did he say? Now keep that in mind when you see what he does here. It's been blatantly obvious what he was going to do, it's just so horrific that none of us really wanted to wrap our heads around it. But this is Eren being consistent to his motivations since episode 1. It's masterful storytelling.

Grisha's line "If only I had spent more time with you." Kinda has a double meaning. If he spent more time with Zeke and treated him like his son, he would've never been sent to Paradis. The events set in motion would mean that Eren may have never been born and none of this horror would come to pass. Like, damn.

When that scene came up in the manga my friend had the theory that when she was alive Ymir could only turn into titan when Fritz was asking something or pointing a goal, like the power couldn't work without Fritz, which is why she couldn't escape him despite that power. He based this theory on Eren training from Season 1. In order to turn into a titan Eren needed to bleed and to have a clear purpose before turning, like catching a spoon, Killing the titans inside the wall or Killing Annie. But Ymir had no goal of her own she lived for other and was a slave unlike Eren she couldn't turn by herself because she couldn't have clear purpose before and what happened after didn't help.

Yep it was Ymir this whole time, she was the one who guided and lead Eren there. Waiting for him for 2000 years. Ever since the first episode and manga chapter of attack on titan when Eren woke up from his dream/nightmare sleeping by the tree with mikasa waking him up. Ever since that episode, when Ymir said to Eren ”to you in 2000 years” This is what it lead up to. Just holy shit Isayama!

Zeke wanted to flip on the peaceful genocide switch but Eren chose violence

The whole sequence from Ymir's death to the end of Eren's speech might just be the best 10 minutes of TV I've ever seen. It's up there with Ozymandias, just really amazing television.

Keep in mind that Eldians eventually fought with each other after taking over the world, the families that had the 9 Titan powers fought over the powers. It is in human's nature to have conflict with one another and even if Eren wiped out humanity the people on Paradis would still just fight each other.

In the end, Eren was talking to every single Eldian in the world

Gabi must also have the worst Day. Everything went wrong for her and just as she thinks she has killed the enemy of Mankind, a second later the end of the worlds starts.

Funny thing is after this episode you would have been safe to watch the opening next episode lol

Fun fact, in one of the earlier intermission info panels in the show there is a long story about a miner who tried to dig under the walls. he wrote that the walls continued 10 meters under ground, mening the titans are trenched 10m into the ground, if you add that to the 10m height gap bertholts titan had on the 50m walls, they end up the same height so their models are the same. i guess the collosal power's big tool is the nuke transformation

Sadly Ymir wasnt only doing this for 2000years, it was 2000 years real time, and everytime someone used titan powers she had to manually and singlehandedly build that titan out of sand.... so you can probably easily assume she is doing that for billions of years considering that even rods reiss's 100meter titan appeared in an instant, but had to be build manually by ymir.

ALL ELDIANS (regardless of wherever they are in the world) heard Eren's Founding Titan PA Message. That's what makes it all the more terrifying. Imagine having fear of Eren Jaeger, after Tybur's speech, about the possible RUMBLING. And suddenly, a few weeks later, you'll hear a guy you've never seen before, tell you that your country, and everyone on it, will be trampled on soon, by thousands of colossal titans.

people don't listen the lyrics they just saw the img, the lyrics of the intro are so great

This is one of those pieces of media that you will never forget how to felt to watch the first time (like "That Day" from S3". When the credits rolled I just sat there in silence trying to cope with everything washing over me.

14:49 for a titan shifter to be able to regenerate, it needs to have a will to live, Ymir wanted to die indeed so she probably didn't regenerate because of that, good catch 👍

29:24 no, they're the same height but the Colossals in the walls were buried in the ground up to their lower part of the leg they were part of the wall which had a foundation that went into the ground, that foundation was their feet

The worst part about the rumbling is that it's pretty much exactly what King Fritz wanted. The rest of the world isn't to blame for any of Ymir's suffering, the Eldian Empire is. Especially since the Tybur family were in control of Marley the entire time after the rebellion that formed Paradis... so the empire never actually died. Isayama really is a master of irony.

Just to Clarify. Eren addressed absolutely every single subject of Ymir. That means every living Eldian. The bald guy you saw was Keith Shadis not Pyxis btw. Also Eren pretty much knows that the only way to truly save his people is to wipe out everyone else. The fear of titans will eventually burn into other people. The eldians will always be persecuted regardless of diplomatic solutions. Humans are shady and Eren ain't taking any chances

Just realised everyone was sent to the paths without outside objects besides their cloths but eren took the time to make a chair for historia to sit in lol

According to Ido, Marley treated Eldians the kindest, supposidly other places treat them even worse

17:04 For her it has been apotheosized that from her point of view it has been between 1 million to 16 trillion years. There have been several theories with ppl doing calculations and coming up with different data. Either way... for her, it for sure seems more than 2,000 years.

Eren's genocidal Rumbling is very much in line with the development of his character. In season one he literally said "I will destroy the world". Levi described him as a monster who can't be controlled. He brutally killed two people as a child without a second thought or a hint of remorse (yes in self-defense but that isn't mentally healthy behavior for a kid to display). And of course there's the season 3 finale where after seeing his future and realizing that what will happen was always going to happen, he entertains the idea of destroying the world because he knows he already has Remember he told Reiner back in season 4 part 1 that "we are the same". By that he meant both he and Reiner are traumatized and oppressed individuals who, for selfish reasons, are willing to kill thousands of innocent people to achieve their goals. Reiner wanted to be a hero and Eren wanted to wipe the world clean, making it resemble the world he had seen in Armin's books as a child - because Eren has a childish notion of freedom. Like yes he is also protecting Paradis and his friends but those are secondary motivations for the genocide he's about to try commit.

It literally said all subjects of Ymir, plus Annie’s dad was shown so that’s proof

Also, y'all might want to check back on the Season 2 Ending, after this episode. The visuals might hit different. The craziest part is that this Ending aired _before_ the content of this episode was even released in the manga. Isayama hiding manga spoilers in the anime.

Willy Tybur had the support of a worldwide coalition, with their representatives gathered on Liberio, when he declared war on Paradis Island. So to Eren, the entire world is an enemy, the same as Marley. And if he only took out the soldiers, but left the civilians alone, many would want to take revenge. The soldiers aren't isolated, faceless persons, they have families and friends outside the military. Not saying Eren is right or justified, just explaining the likely rationale for his declaration.

Their lives will go on even after i'm dead. I just want them, to live long and happy lives

This is my favourite episode from the season and possibly even the whole show.... The writing is just brilliant

Pixes wasn’t there you all confusing him for good old shadis

“i’m glad we waited till now *giggles*” “THE FIRST EPISODE WAS NAMED SOMETHING SIMILAR” lmfao sam is so cute mannnn 😭 love y’all’s reactions to this show istg

Pixis was not there when Eren addressed every Eldian using the founder's power🤣

Sam is the best at predicting at what comes next, I think she has the Attack Titan future timeline blood :P

Crazy how full circle this show has come. Legendary writing.

15:15 ymir's daughters eating her body was foreshadowed in the ending song of s2. Also the rumbling was foreshadowed in S2 ending when it hadn't even happened in the manga yet and many other things were foreshadowed in that ending

The people you guys seen wit the arm bands was the Eldians on Marley all eldians even the ones in marley are able to hear that they don’t just have to be around Eren

Paradis War Arc top 3 anime arcs of all time

Eren witnessed the Eldian sympathisers in Marley shun and demonise his people on Paradis when they didn't even know them, he saw the holocaust conditions the Marley forced Eldians to live in, Eren then finally saw Willy and Marley declare war on the island on behalf of the world without even considering negotiating. Paradis tried to reach out for peace at the start of season 4 but it was rejected. It's almost like the world wanted them to be the demons they believed they were, to have something to united against. In Eren's mind he did what he felt was right, that he and his people will never truly be free if the island isn't safe and if wiping out the world ensures that then so be it. Eren has reached the alpha chad level of being done with it, start over. If I was in Erens position I would have done the same, fuck everyone else, they had numerous chances. I'd turn the world into a scorching cinder if it meant my family and loved ones were safe.

Those with the Power of the Titans can heal themselves, but only if they have the will to live. Ymir apparently didn't.

27:37 actually nuclear weapons is the only way to prevent world war 3. No one is crazy enough to start a major war because they know that they would get destroyed themselves. So what Parker says is very true tbh.

21:48 lol that wasn't pyxis...it was commander keith shadis

Imagine how Armin must have felt when he realizes the world he spoke about to eren is what caused this whole mess in the first place. It would be like Hitler's childhood friend telling him he didn't like his drawing.

Just to clear up that wasn't Pyxis yall saw. It was Sadies and it was all subjects of Ymir in the coordinate including those in Marley.

it's reach every living eldians all over the world bc Eren said "hear me subject of ymir" that's mean if you have eldians blood you can hear him bc all eldians somehow connected to the coordinat

I think what a lot of people don’t touch on or realize is that the Eldians are only partially descended from eldia, Ymir herself was just part of a small village that was conquered by king Fritz and wasn’t eldian at all

please react to the lyrics of the opening and ending after you've finished the season please!!

I want to hear what you five would do in Eren's position you should talk about it in the next episode

Eren is not good guy or a bad guy he is A force of Nature Marley really f** up by repeatedly Attacking Paradise even after kings warning.

Also its been said ALL countries not just Marley have internment zones for Eldians

Marley wants to their iceburst stone. removing the titan ability will only leave Paradis undefended.

#teamEren

OMG.so that's why eren said stop to Zeke scream and why he told him again that this is pointless yet it all happened no matter how he tried to change the narrative

Bruh why does everyone thing Shadis is Pyxis lol

20:05 i dunno why people just mistaken Pixis and Shadis, dudes, Pixis has a moustache, not Shadis tho

Shouldn’t really think of the 9 titans as their own individual powers so much as they are all characteristics of the founding titan, Ymir’s titan was colossal, it was armored, it had a female shape, it could manipulate hardening. After she was eaten those powers were split by 3 and again later down the generational line until we ended up with the 9

I love watching people stumble over what alternatives Eren should have done because they never can come up with one lol

Native Americans, Ecuadorians, Filipinos

It's SO good 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾 LOVE this show so much!

Ymir didn't spend just 2000 years in the path realm building titans. For the people in real world, it is 2000 years but in the path realm it would be more than millions of years. Someone actually calculated it but i dont remember the exact number. But it is absurdly long, above millions for sure

Ymir has one episode of air time and she became my favorite character

some rabdom thoughts about the 2000 years it was 2000 years in "real life", a split second was enough to wander through memories "for years". Ymir didnt really just spend 2000 years there. if all that memory stuff happened in 1 second then ymir has been in there for what feels like 630800000000000 years (thats about a thousand times the age of the universe)

poor Sam she's right, it was Sadies not Pixis haha

Eren spoke to all subjects of ymir even those not on the island.

10:56 *SNIFFS MY COMPUTER SCREEN* *gets crushed and dies*

I just realized To you 2000 years from now Ep 1 s1 Eren recieved the memories(by Ymir?) On his dream And this episide From you 2000 years from now Eren understood that Ymir has been calling for someone

at 5:55 , this will now become a gif

single pig started the whole aot series.

crazy how Ymir actually dies at 23 so that means she got her titan powers at 10, same as Eren

Watch the scene again, Eren said he was talking to ALL subjects of Ymir using the paths.

Technically yes she has been there for 2,000 years building every single Titan Shifters body every time someone turns into a Titan she has to make it out of sand for time Untold

Nice Reaction as always! Are you guys a Florida KZfaq channel ? From one channel to another keep killing it non the less!

That was Shaddis not Pyxis. Eren wasn't speaking to anyone already transformed into a titan. Just went back to confirm.

That's correct Nicole, "No more circle of revenge!".

Eren wasn't talking with pixis (however you write it), it was shadis (I also don't know how its written XD, sorry)

Eren addressed every Eldian all over the world

Why on earth people said to them to watch the opening that spoils the rumbling before the rumbling happens? And also the Ymir alien thing and the new Eren's titan form appears in the opening and they didn't see it yet. The rumbling happens out of nowhere and even though we tend to think it will happen anyway, we don't know it happens so early.

so for 2000 years shes been doing that... BUT you also have to multiply the amount of time because in the paths the time is like... INSANELY warped. for example, the amount of time eren and Zeke were in there was a few years... but it was only a second in the real world. So.... how many seconds are in a year? that number times 2000, thats how many years.

Now we've finally seen the true history. It was a mix of both Eldian and Marleyan truth. Ymir did build stuff, but she also destroyed and crushed a lot of things and people too. And her descendants then did the same as well. Time to play devil's advocate for a bit. A lot of people always seem to think the Marleyan-Eldian conflict happened 2000 years ago. While yes, that is correct that it began 2000 years ago, it only ended recently, about a hundred years ago. Meaning the Eldians basically subjugated and destroyed the world for 1900 years. The Marleyans who currently are alive probably had Grandparents or Great-Grandparents who were subject to the Eldian Empire. And the stories of fear and hatred were passed down. Which is why the world hates Eldians. In war, things usually end with both parties coming to an agreement to not cause further destruction. But Karl Fritz didn't do that. He decided he didn't want to be that guy and his response to his people causing 1900 years of suffering was basically, "Sorry about all that. Promise we won't do it again." But he also threatened them with the Rumbling, pushing that same fear and rage onto future generations, running from the conflict and wiping people's memories. Some people like to sit on a moral high horse, but if someone tormented your family, friends, and everyone you knew for 2000 years throughout multiple generations, and their only response was saying sorry, you probably wouldn't be like, "Oh. They were just in a silly goofy mood". That doesn't mean treating Eldia like how they were treated is right. And doing what happened to them to the rest of the world also isn't right. But the show brings up a few interesting themes. And one of those is becoming like your enemy. Hange noticed that she and the Government were becoming exactly like the same people they fought so hard to take down 4 years ago. People mistreat Marleyans and treat them like servants on the Island. Pixis notices that Yelena and the Jaegerists are putting armbands on people and isolating them like Marley did. And Marley became what Eldia once was. So the question arises. If you're so determined to defeat your enemy that you lose yourself and become exactly like them, do you still consider that to be a victory?

Been rocking with eren since season 1 ain’t switching up now

21:24 he was talking to all the people of the eldien race

In one second, you had a whole life In the coordinate , imagine that over 2000 years she has been there for an eternity

2000 years in real life. The time in the Paths is relative. Centuries can pass and it's only a second in real world. Zeke said it himself: "every time Subjects of Ymir seek titan power she spends untold years building titans" Fritz was a jerk. Subjects of Ymir don't deserve being called "Eldians" 1) not every Subject of Ymir is an Eldian (Ymir herself most likely wasn't Eldian at all) 2) it's Ymir's power. Eldia just stole it

21:47 That's not Pixis. The Bald guy is Keith Sadies.

皆さんのリアクションを楽しみに待ってました！！

Bruh my mans said "he's turned into a hippo". Had me in tears for a minute, ngl

The Canadian joke was hilarious

- Why didn't Eren choose peace??? - Only Ymir knows...

Dont forget that the entire world declared war against Paraid... THE ENTIRE WORLD DECLARED WAR, dont forget that.

Eren not like the naive protagonis that people can understand each other and live together. Eren solution to break the cicle just to take half of the circle

How enormous is Eren + Zeke combo? 360m

20:04 that's Commandant Shadis, not Pyxis

29:27 actually, their feets are buried in the ground, so they got the same height (just some nerdy talk, nvmd)

Eren has the founder power so he can do everything with the ymirs people he can take from them the power of be a titan and he can erase their memories and others things
