Eren: You don´t seem to understand. Ramzi is not yours to kill

"What would Mom think" hit me harder than expected. The whole show Eren keeps his thoughts of revenge based on his Mom. Her death was a robbery of the few forms of kindness and love he had. She died, meaning her gentleness was never corrupted in his mind and ours. He realizes the atrocities he's about to commit. And also realizes his kind Mom would be appalled at the thought her child would become so cruel.

Damn, a young man came up to me a week ago on the street, crying and it looked like he was apologizing for something..

after watching those children die I just remembered the lyrics from S4 part 1 opening: "Children cling to their coins squeezing out their wisdom"

It was really surreal when ramzi and Halil died. There was no plot armor. No intervention. No one coming to help. No power of friendship or anything just conveniently stopping the titans right before ramzi dies. They died. And nothing can change that. Theyre gone. Most shows or movies at least fluff it up enough to where the most dreadful crescendo isnt realized. But thats not the case here. Just a cruel cruel world.

Best Eren scene in the whole series. After seeing how ruthless he is leading up to the rumbling, here's Eren some months or years prior having seen the future, knowing he can do nothing to stop it, and he's horrified of himself. Pretty similarly by how his dad was compelled to do things he was horrified of. This is actually probably the best character moment in the series, and it is so thoroughly earned. Impeccable.

Eren: Crying and explaining his plans Ramzi: Tf are you crying and saying I don’t speak Eldian/Marleyan

Wow. Eren was actually losing his mind man. I don’t even know how he got a minute of sleep.

Love this scene to bits! The way they made Halil drop his money after establishing their dreams earlier and then making Ramzi watch Halil's still warm dead body, to the contorting features of his teeth and nose as he gets crushed slowly and his wide, innocent eyes screaming "what's going on??? Why am I dying like this???" It's so unfair and soul shattering. Truly a beautiful scene ❤

really wish ramzi had some secret plot armor, he was just a kid, a poor poor kid.

Normal series: Hero rescues kid Rare series: Hero lets kid get beaten up and later regrets it. AoT: Hero murders the kid and says he is sorry 😂

He beat up three grown men without even messing up his suit or his hair.

Imagine meeting the people you swore you would kill face to face and realizing not all of them were evil. That hatred and revenge can only blind you for so long before you can't lie to yourself anymore, that you aren’t the avenger anymore, but someone else's monster, someone else's colossal titan, someone else's Attack titan.

Not gonna lie, after watching this scene the first time, I went to go give my little brother a hug. I have read the manga but seeing it animated hit even harder.

The rumbling is literally unstoppable. In any way apart from the other remaining intelligent titans. If you somehow manage to dodge the feet of the 500,000 colossal titans the heat generated will turn you to ash. Escape by air and you’ll be shot down through his control of the beast. You would think the only way is very very deep bunkers. Even then the weight of the thousands of colossal titans would collapse them, or the entrances to make it impossible to get out of, thus eventually starving you or suffocating you. So frightening

You know what's more worse about the whole ramzi's death scene? Is that the last thing he saw was his brother destroyed head

(Edit)manga spoilers in the replies: I wish people would remember this scene when they think Eren is doing this just to save the island.

I like to think that when Ramzi initially heard Eren speaking while sobbing, it sounded like gibberish (because of the language barrier) but during his final moments while Eren is speaking throughout the events of his death here, his words echoed in his head again and finally understood what he was saying through some unexplained freaky deaky Eldia powers (since he saw Ymir while dying)

Scenes that still keep me awake and haunt me.

"When I learned that humanity lived outside the walls I was...so disappointed" Idc what anyone says, Eren is my favorite Anti Villian of all time and this line makes him stand out from 99% of protagonist in media, it has SO MUCH depth that it's insane

So eren just killed all the kids, newborns, babies and all the refugees suffering under Marley who actually never cared about Paradis or Marley and were actually victims of both eldian warrior unit and Marley colonisers.

Get rumbled stay humbled

4:20 Even you can see Ramzi's teeth being crush. Scary and horrifying sight😮😮😮

This could have all been avoided if Ramzi used duolingo

I'm gonna be real. I headcanon that the second half of the flashback (Eren explaining everything and apologising) was Ramzi remembering it. And what makes it sad is that he doesn't even know why he's even remembering that of all time (Sorta like back in season 2 when Sasha was saving Kaya and she had a flashback with Historia and Ymir and she had no idea why she remembered that of all times) why, as he's about to get crushed, did he remembered that man who saved him months ago only to cry and he can't even understand what he's saying? Why did that memory popped up instead of a happy memory? And he dies not knowing why that was the last memory he remembered. The reality is that man who saved him would end up killing him.

When I watch it in the anime I say "meh can't be that scary". Then I walk outside and find a 6+ meter tall building towering over me and say "imagine the height of this building times 2.2 being a titan" and say "uh oh". Then I go to a bigger city, find a 50 meter building and say "oh crap..."

God watching his face squish and his teeth pop out is horrifying, this is truly one of the most awful ways to go. Poor kids

Yuki Kaji's voice acting and the sadness/guilt he conveys in this clip is unbelievable.

I can't help but view a part of AoT's story as the doomsday clock. The rumbling reminds me an awful lot of WMD like nuclear warheads. At that point in history everyone was afraid of it, though they didn't believe they'd actually be used. Eventually, they poked the hornet's nest and got what was coming to them.

This scene is all I need to know Eren is wrong

most of the fanbase supports Eren for what he did, and even seem to glorify the rumbling. Ramzi and Halil offered perspectives on 99% of the people Eren killed. the lives of men, women, children, plants, animals, etc. were all wiped out, but it’s easier to not care since we watched through Eren’s eyes. you can never justify those actions, and saying that he didn’t have a choice isn’t true. we all have a choice when it comes to difficult situations, and we often have to choose under the worst circumstances. but Eren selfishly decimated the world for the people he loved, but deeply hurt those people. Ramzi couldn’t understand what Eren was saying, and most of the world couldn’t understand what was happening. i’m glad the show created a real sense of terror, horror, gruesomeness, despair, and a sense of urgency to take Eren down. it’s so important for people to understand that “choosing a side,” even if it’s Eren’s, is what ultimately creates problems like this. before Eren, the Eldians killed the world population 3x over for 2000 years, and the rest of the world was free for 100 years, but with the looming threat of doom. you cant blame them for wanting to prevent that. i personally think the euthanization plan was the best option for everyone.

This is the reason why paradis Island gets bombarded in the future. Who in the world would forget this horror? Many who weren't involved with the beef ended up dying.

4:14 Ymir suddenly appearing in his vision gave me serious Alma (F.E.A.R.) vibes 💀

Eren is one of the most compelling and relateable characters i have ever seen, i lost my mother at a young age as well so i know what its like to be thrust and thrown into an unforgiving world full of cruelty and indifference, i have felt trapped in my own life since i was child, some days i feel like those Walls and Marley are a representation of the many people and obstacles who have trapped me in my own emotions and life, it wasent until i was older that i truly knew what is was like to be free, And just like Eren ive tried my entire life to negotiate peace and understanding, but what ive gotten are the same results, you spend most of your days trying to be kind and respectful towards people but all you get in return is hate and disdain, and eventually it inverts your mind and you cant bear the weight anymore, that being said i dont agree with The Rumbling because it was horrific and cruel, however Erens trauma and imprisonment within the walls caused his disappointment with the world around him, in my own opinion it all could have been avoided if Eldia and Marley had not acted in the way that they did

Damn this scene really hit hard

I'd like to tell you Ramzi and his brother escaped with the money they stashed away over the years and made their way to an isolated island far away where they were taken in by a kind couple that owned a farm where they lived out the rest of their lives.... *But this isn't that kind of story >:)*

Its so heavy to watch

The fact that Eren relates to Reiner is so satisfying

This is when I truly started believing Eren is the antagonist. Despite him being the "protagonist" This scene never fails to sincerely piss me off and make me cry

There were definitely other options besides killing all humanity. The one he took would give the highest probability that his friends would survive. That whole cycle of hatred/revenge thing was always more of a Naruto thing. What AOT is known for is people becoming monsters to achieve a good goal. Reiner, Bertholth, Annie, Zeke, Erwin and now Eren.

This is extraordinarily fucked up. Don't let yourself become desensitized to the plain truth that this is extraordinarily fucked up.

Eren was going through a canon event this whole time

It puzzles me how some people see Eren showing regret, apologizing, and disgust towards himself, watch global genocide of innocent people, and say that Eren is “morally correct.” Even Eren knows what he’s doing is horrifying and wrong. He just doesn’t have a choice.

Did Ramzi being able to see Ymir indicate that he was a subject of Ymir too?

No one can convince me that the rumbling was justified no one

These scenes probably hit the hardest of the series. It was a horror of a sight in the manga and then the anime was soul crushing. Even the other scenes where people were running and the gate to symbolize how futile it was.

Some of these giants, like time stamp 02:17... they have an expression of horror. And the one on the right, a stare of resignation. Are their minds are self-aware but trapped in these bodies? So they are aware of the destruction they are causing but they simply cannot stop because they have no control what so ever. If so, that is outright monstrous!

3:44 the music mannnn so damn epiccccc!!!

4:30 has the similar scenes when the butterfly got trampled by a herd of horses

It's so heartbreaking that the fate is sealed seeing these two kids

Eren truly became a monster. His death was earned. Even those who loved him had to put him down.

I just know that Eren didn’t turn to Titan just to beat those guys. He didn’t have a ODM gear either. He probably puck/kick them to death. Elite Growth💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

4:19 the most realistic and gory animation I've seen

I'd normally say something like "move around their feet..." but they also exude such heat that you'd burst into flame

I think its insane that people see this scene and think to themselves Eren did nothing wrong, he deadass admits that doing nothing is the right choice but he doesnt want to make it

How could the world be at peace with Eldia & Eldia be at peace with the world?? To be honest the only way is forgiveness but neither side is strong enough to do so. This is the result of two parties not coming into forgiveness; one side would eventually fear the other and said fear would lead to them thinking the only option is us or them. Both sides are not innocent; I really think Erwin would’ve been more impactful in a situation like this. Once he died the structure just went downhill.

UNFORGETTABLE. ONE OF THE MOST GRIEFIEST THING EVER SEEN.

The 3rd guy in the back looks a striking amount like Reiner's Marleyan father from Season 4 Episode 3. Racist deadbeat looks to have gotten fat and bald, and bashing kids is real classy too. I imagine if he had stuck around to parent Reiner he would have been physically abusive to him too.

This is where i cant forgive these actions. He literally could have created a path fir certain people to be safe at least. I've been neglected and abused. I wouldn't do the same yo someone like that. I always thought highly of him but after this video, hes no better than them. Even worse because he has self awareness of it all

Children cling to their coin...

when i rewatched this scene for the first time and saw how eren's shadow didn't have a head that was craazy

Damn that was disturbing. And I read the manga over a year ago. I knew this was coming. It didn’t change how awful it was to watch.

That scene gave me the chills!!!

Eren is the reason why his mom died in the first, it was all his doing, using the attack titans power to descend into the past and pulling all the strings from the future, setting all things in place.

You know the anime is serious when they kill off a kid in such brutal way

It's weird even tho they're collasal titans just them walking doesn't seem terrifying yet it is.

This scene is fucking amazing. It was amazing in the manga, too. I was really looking forward to finally seeing it in the anime. This is the scene that reminds us all that Eren, while committing absolutely horrendous actions, still has a conscience and feels extreme remorse and self-loathing similar to Reiner. And yet, he goes through with it anyway. It's all so beautifully tragic. I don't usually gush over anime like this y'all, but holy shit.

For me Eren was always destined to be a genocide, he fulfilled his threat to exterminate all his enemies on earth. Obviously he knew there would be innocents, but in Ramzi's case he is a bit of both, he is a child who needs to steal in order to live. But he doesn't stop being bad, he reminds me of Aladdin that no matter how much he does it for survival, he hurts others for his own purposes. I'm not saying that he deserves what happened to him because no one ever deserves a genocide of that magnitude. As Sasha's dad said, one death causes more deaths, the death of Eren's mom caused all this, I largely understand Eren to carry out his threat because the ones who threw the first stone were the Marleyans. But a thousand times I am against a worldwide genocide, they will say that Zeke's plan was better, but it was a crime and with a more painful death. the best option was to remove the powers of the titans and cut the connection with Ymir so they could be normal people.

after the end aired... seeing this hits even harder.

Attack on titan really draws a lot of inspiration from turkish culture its actually really interesting to see

Even if you regret it keep moving forward

Poor Ramzi didn’t deserve this fate. Eren forgot to have realized that what he’s doing is going too far.

Marley deserved the rumbling,but Ramzi and Halil didn't deserve to die,if only they were born in a better world...

Did eren really beat 4 guys? Damn boy

Only the refugees of the Mid-East deserved my tears. The Marleyans, however, had the Rumbling coming for being hateful racists instead of trying to be better. Also, the Marley Mid-East War was a wasted opportunity. Paradis could have join the Allies and turn the tide of the war in the Allies' favor and defeat Marley together.

Poor baby, rip ramzi

Attack on Titan, jujutsu kaisen, berserk, and goblin slayer just says "IDC about your innocent characters"

It's honestly amazing that you can get goosebumps, cry, make your jaw drop, and irritation from this specific anime, definitely the best anime ever, The OST, Story, Plot Twist And Lore, EVERYTHING! But it's quite dissapointing that it wasn't in the top 3 best anime of all time.

A common misunderstanding in AOT, thinking that eren activated the rumbling to protect his loved ones. While it is one of the reasons, it just isn’t the primary! This scene explores a side of eren’s character that was there from episode 1, only we the audience chose to ignore because he is our protagonist. Eren activated the rumbling because “he was very disappointed that humans outside the wall existed, that the world outside isn’t what he imagined it would be”, eren says that he is just like reiner, even worse! In the attack on marley arc, he asked reiner in the basement why did he attack paradis and caused the death of his mother, to which reiner admits that although marcel died and things did NOT go as planned and him realizing that there are a lot of innocent people inside the walls, he still chose to continue to attack paradis and caused causalities Because he wanted to! he wanted to be a hero, he wanted people’s respect! Not because he cared about “saving the world”. And so eren is the same and even worse, he activated the rumbling because he wanted to see the world just like in armin’s book! A world that’s free of other humans! While that’s childish, it is the same eren who promised to kill and wipe every titan outside the walls, he was ruthless from the beginning, he just channeled it into titans which is why it was hard to catch this side in early seasons. In his perspective the mere “existence” of people outside whether they are good or evil makes him feel that he’s not free. So he wanted to feel “freedom” be wiping everyone outside the wall

Everyone in this comment defending Eren until they’re faced with certain death themselves because their governments decided to declare war

The true horrors of omniscience. Once you've seen the future, with absolute certainty, it isn’t possible to change it. Your first reaction becomes written in stone, and determinism refuses to relent. No matter how badly you want to change it, from the moment you open that Schrodinger's Box, the cat is either dead or alive, and nothing can change it. Ironically, the "great emancipator" became nothing more than a slave to Fate itself. As to why Eren couldn’t relent, even knowing he'd be stopped? Why was eradication of Eldians not an option? Well, Marley proved that any culture that thinks it "conquered" its oppressors inevitably becomes a mirror reflection of them. History gets written by the victors, and hatred is passed down to those who don't even experience that trauma, and yet crave disproportionate retribution. Thus, the only true method for world peace... is a war with no victors at all. Everyone must lose. That is the only way to turn a war from a feud into a tragedy none wish to repeat.

Masterpiece.

I busted out laughing the way those men were beating Mario coins out of Ramzi 😂😂😂😂 had that boy seeing stars

i known he committed worldwide genocide but guys its for content

Smh. I get why he did it. I just really wish there was another way smh. His priority was to protect the people he loves. And the people he loves are deemed "enemy #1" In the world, no matter how you place it. His method was extreme...but really what other way was there. The ending sorta proved that with him failing, the island of paradis ended up be wiped away in time anyway. Atleast his loved ones did end up being safe and experienced freedom. Idk

Eren apologizes to ramzi before he could unleashed something so terrifying. He knows he can do nothing to stop the rumbling and kill countless innocents people. Including this kid.

ラムジとハリルが死んだ時は本当に悲しい

Oh no that boys are going be crushed by Titan for getting about the money 💰 your life is more important than money

This scene is scary and depressing 😢

A lesson to world governments. "Don't write a check your ass can't cash."

"Escolhas difíceis requerem determinação forte" - Thanos.

Basically there are two characters like this..after thought, see, experience how corrupted people, rules, world they live in..a just, kind, honest man can become..one is dr manhattan, sadly he has the power to obliviate all rotted things, but he didnt, just because silly argumen..and eren, though not has the power like dr manhattan, but he did try to obliviate/give lesson to the rotted..it didnt matter one know nothing at all (e.g child or baby), because eren previously has in that kind of condition too, so he knew best..humanity has given up from a long time ago..better just get rid of the rotted..because whether they live, only just bring chaos and useless to any good deeds

"İt appears the future doesnt change" he did nothing to change it for Remzi while he was beated by Marleyans, same as he didnt try to find a alternative way to save Eldia instead of Rumbling. There is no sure rule in AOT universe that future can be changed or fate can be overcome. But eren must tried it instead of blindly accept it.

Seeing those titans walking over mountains miles away would be horrifying. Just the existential dread alone of seeing such a massive threat that's not even close to you... but you know it will be soon enough. Those people must have been running for hours before the titans eventually caught up. Imagine the adrenaline and absolute terror you'd feel the entire time.

4:30 even the dog is sad

"Eren did the right thing" yall get outta here with that 😂

And not just the men, but the women... and the children, too.

未来の記憶っていう最高に矛盾ワード好き

To be fair, being beaten to death would probably hurt a whole lot more than being crushed in an instant. Sure, the latter would be terrifying too, but at least it would be over a lot sooner.

I love how the one person who knows Eren’s real plan, is some random kid he saved who he knows won’t understand him and will eventually kill. Eren isn’t doing this because he wants too. He’s doing this because it’s the only option left that will save his friends.
