This is a question that many people are asking themselves since a few chapters, and it was also mentioned by Armin and Zeke in chapter 137.
The fact is that I actually have a theory about it which confirms that Eren is the father of Historiaâs child.
Letâs start the analysis and theory building:
Firstly, we have this panel: Ymir looks at a couple, and Zeke says that the reason she stayed in the path is because she was still attached to this world. However, the kanji he uses in japanese means that she is attached to something she couldnât have had in her life. So why is she waiting ? She is not attached to her past life but to a life she desires. So, in my opinion, Ymir was waiting for her savior, Eren JĂ€ger, the one that would make her reborn again as a « person » and not as a slave, goddess or monster.
(By the way donât you think the couple looks like a walmart version of Eren and Historia ?)
Itâs perfectly logical: if Eren gives a second chance to the person that is the origin of the hate cycle, then he will totally break lt. It would also make a total sense for Historia and Eren to name their child Ymir, both for two different reasons, and for Eren to tell the baby: « you are free ».
I am sure that Eren is not dead, this is not even questionable for me. The most popular theory is that he is on paradise waiting to touch his royal blood baby who inherited the Beast Titan in order to reactivate the Rumbling. I disagree guys: Eren would definitely not use his child to comit an act of wrath, this action totally goes againts his ideas. To force such a destiny on a new born child is exactly what the Reiss/Fritz cycle was. A cycle that the ennemies of humanity, Eren and Historia, broke and wonât let happen again. So what is the man doing ?
I however think that Eren is indeed using War Hammerâs abilities, and that he purposely let his friends smash to pieces his titan body. But for what ?
Thatâs where the big part of my theory comes: to destroy the parasite and free Ymir from the path.
I noticed that the parasite has been bring quite often those last chapters by Isayama. It canât be a coincidence. Remember Zekeâs words about life and the parasite being scared and refusing death: the parasite created titans by associating itself with Ymir. And now she is nor dead, nor alive, in a world that she canât escape off. Plus, she let the alliance do their thing without interfering, itâs very strange.
It gave me the idea that the parasite, since it canât survive alone, used Ymir for 2000 years as a sort of « anchor », or, if you prefer, as a string, a link to other Eldians. It is spreading through Ymir like a virus, and the path is her prison. It would also explain why titans of royal blood have fuller abilities since they descent from Ymir, which means the parasite has a greater affinity to them because of its first vessel. Ymir maybe is a non consistent being used as a tool by the parasite. Knowing that SNK was kinda inspired by a game, if I remember well, about aliens, it would not be shocking if Hajime Isayama gives a big role to this strange creature. Another thing is the path itself the sort of tree which is the center of it indeed looks like the parasite itself (btw just search for « path animation » on youtube, a man made a wonderful work hollywood-level, I was speechless)
If Eren is not in the founding titan, then the parasite is separated from his body, and it can be destroyed without killing him. Thatâs why he let his friends do their thing, maybe he is also waiting for them to come back to Paradise thinking they won to start the Rumbling again so that he wonât have to kill them. Thatâs also probably why the shifters helped, they may have been sort of summoned by Ymir herself. Since she is nor alive, nor dead, since she is out of time, it doesnât matter for her if the parasite is dead or not in the current timeline, she still can give her power to Eren in order to finish the rumbling. I think that if I am right, the path will however start to destroy itself: the amount of time will be limited. Once it will have fall to pieces, she will go out of the path, putting an end to the Titan Curse, and will be reborned.
The panel of chapter 121 will be even more beautiful if Eren is the father. Itâs not just Eren running after Ymir in order to stop his brotherâs euthanization plan, itâs a future father saving his babyâs life by offering to a child the possibility to live. Eren fights for life. He IS life, he multiplies and conserves. That makes him the complete nemesis of Zeke.
I hope you liked it, even if people may call me mad or say itâs ridiculous I donât think Isayama is less mad than me đ
