#fez-kun

This is going to be on the poll because there are so many ways of looking at it. The poll team is still working on the wording, but I’ll give you a preview of the rough draft.... 

This chapter showed us Fez-kun in another setting, finding himself in trouble again. What do you think is the meaning behind his hidden story?

Eren let him in on a secret plan that nobody else knows about

It demonstrates Eren’s hypocrisy in showing compassion for someone who will die by his actions

Witnessing Fez-kun being attacked reinforced Eren’s belief about the hatred in the world.

There is plot significance but I don’t know what it is

I’m probably going to pick the last option. I do think there’s plot significance here, or at least more to the story, but I don’t know how Eren could have warned him or communicated with him since they don’t speak the same language. I think option 2 is good as well but I’d use the word guilt instead of hypocrisy.

They are the same child. Eren had a vision of Ramzi at some point before he traveled to Marley. Kissing Historia’s hand may have caused a memory shatter similar to those we’ve now seen and Ramzi was among those.

I dropped this in a  askdiscord chat to see if anyone had any thoughts and my friend Angrian came through. He shared this panel from 123.

While Levi was saving Ramzi, Eren was off to the side, not paying attention. Since Mikasa seems to notice Eren staring, it may be that Eren got a look at Ramzi as he was running away. 

It’s possible that Eren went to look for the child after the scene in 123. It’s also possible he ran across Ramzi later on after leaving the meeting with the Eldian sympathizer. I think the latter makes sense since he carried Ramzi back to the tents where Mikasa later found him. 

Those are the two that stood out to me as well since they are both new information. 

The Historia panel confirms that Eren visited her and that they had the conversation that left her in tears. Yelena may still have visited her at some point, but it’s far more likely now that Eren was the cloaked figure.

OOOF I FORGOT ABOUT HIM! And that’s only been, what... two chapters ago, maybe?? Geez. Time in PATHS does feel like forever!
