Last time ever talking about this, because if yaâll canât tell, I hated the assassination of Erenâs character and all the plot holes that Isayama I guess purposely left out. He really said letâs end them all, and he meant us the fans.
In truth, to my last post about possible endings, I got one thing right. We been knowing that young Grisha was the one in the last panel holding baby Eren, with the words âYou Are Freeâ. Though if anything, these wasted pages managed to ruin eleven years of astounding storytelling with many contradictions mostly taken and done by Erenâs words and I suppose explanations of his actions the last 20 chapters we have been stupidly reading.
First of all, how he retells Armin about how Ymir wasnât a slave, and suffered greatly under/serving King FritzâŚbecause she loved him? What? Excuse se mua? Slave child r*ped and killed, but all is fine and dandy because she was the one there? That was when I though âFuck off Isayamaâ. Letâs not even begin where the hell she is right now or what she thinks or what will become of her. Sheâs has been left out, in the trash, in the dust.
Secondly, I still canât quite process how Eren reacted to Armin about Mikasa in the most creepy of ways of âI canât see her with another manâ (and the fact that it came out of nowhere?) Together with the fact that Eren committed the Rumbling because of her answer back in chapter 123? SoâŚnot because of Eldia, and his need to have his people freed? He backtracked eleven years of work and dedication of a character that wanted to change the ways of his peopleâŚto a friendzoned little crybaby wannbe Lelouch Zero Arc? Embarassing.
Though we got Eremin peace and almost their love being proven. If honest, I cried and loved their hug and last goodbye. That shouldâve been endgame couple. They were the real love story, fuck. They made more sense in my thinking.
Thirdly, I am grieving Mikasa too. We can see her leaving with Erenâs severed head to bury him and spend the rest of her live alone by âtheirâ supposedly tree. Wow. Quite something else, and you bet I was horrified. For Isayama to tie Mikasaâs character entirely to Eren and end her story with such crude awful end. In chapter 138 I believed Mikasa had become a new way of âstrong shounen girlâ but I see I was wrong. It was about giving in to fanservice, and not make the crowd go wild about their apparently true love. She is the heroine no? To yet again grab a women protagonist and tie her all to the male protagonist, because all her Arc is romance and blah blah. She couldnât even stay or do anything during the three years after The Uprising Arc? I donât know, but she deserved way better than become a widow that mourns till death about her sibling-lover.
Isayama really kept his promise when he said he was out to betray his fans.
Lastly, Historia being sidelinedâŚthatâs it. Her entire arc was her being pregnant, but given no goddarn reason. She gave birth during the Rumbling, becauseâŚbecause. And only being given two last panels of her, becauseâŚbecause. We never got her side of the story, or how she was involved in the plan of the Rumbling with Floch and Eren, not even her reaction to his death. The girl that saved him. Though, I take it back, I am super glad she is alive and stayed alive and living happily with her daughter and even, with a husband who I assume she loves? Good for her. Unwanted, but needed indeed.Â
The only silver lining besides getting to see Aruani ending, and Levi seeing his comrades and Hanji, together with Gabi and Falco. Also seeing Sasha smile, and Jean and Connie living and being them? Thanks for the crumbs Hajime.
Alright yall, signing off this damn fucking fandom. Gonna watch euphoria and cry, to try and forget this entire shitshow. Waiting for Shadow and Bone show to drop, and hopefully receiving more good news later on.
Itsâ been a pleasure (not really) but anyone elseâ opinions are welcomed. See ya.
