Is Eren working with the villain? Potentially becoming the villain himself
So what's up guys Foxen here! Hot topic here today let's talk about the Jaeger
brothers. I trust you're up-to-date with everything going on in attack on Titan
manga. There's been a lot of speculation about whether Eren and Zeke have been
teaming up working together in the background. No surprise of course this
theory has people with mixed feelings on it. So is the beast Titan and the attack
Titan getting ready for some hot action? I think so so let's break it down. As
you've seen in the past there's been several foreshadowing of events
currently happening now. This is no exception. The first hint of the Jaeger
brothers teaming up goes back to the beast Titan arc. This was in the beast
Titan the colossal Titan and the armored Titan were fighting against the Survey
Corps. It was back then where he saw Zeke first
seeing Eren and mentioning how he wanted to save his brother. At that time
he mentioned about how Eren had been a victim of his father. So right here
even though this happened like 20 chapters ago we're now seeing Isayama's
foreshadowing come into action. Reason number two the Jaeger brothers
are working together the letter. At the end of the chapter were never sent that
letter everyone was wondering where this was going. A few chapters later Eren
mentioned that he was sending this to his family. To be totally fair this could
mean a lot of things. Eren could have been referring as family to Mikasa
or the scouts back on Paradise Island but even with this possibility I do
think that Eren meant literal family. The third hint for the two Jaeger
brothers working together the baseball glove.
You saw this back in the hospital Eren just happened to have this baseball
baseball glove why? It just seems out of place. Of course
IsayamaI put that in there for a reason. You know that Zeke is known for
his great aim and especially throwing as Beast Titan. Around the same chapter he
also saw Zeke practicing his throw hmm coincidence
I think not. Hint number four in the most recent chapters you got Zeke being
led away from Pieck and Porko. Of course the one leading him away was one
of the scouts. I think this by itself should almost
confirm it. The funny part about this is that the last he saw of Zeke he was
super far away from the festival. Perhaps Zeke was going after that Asian clan
lady hmm think about it! And then the final hint
would be Eren scratching his face. I know I know this
I sound dumb but hear me out. When Eren was talking to Reiner you could see
Eren scratching his face in a particular way. Who's the only guy you
seen in the series do this so far? Think back to it that's right
Zeke and do notice how this was also 20 chapters ago. I don't think it's too
crazy to think that Eren could have picked up this habit from spending some
time with his brother. Alright so for anyone that did have any doubts I think
this should settle it. Now let's move on to the meat of the matter. Why would Zeke
and Eren be teaming up? I think you'd agree that Zeke undoubtably has his own
secret agenda. Whatever he's planning is unknown but one thing's for sure is that
it involves a founding Titan. At the same time he previously did mention
wanting to save Eren. Go ahead and look at it this way if Zeke does team up with
Eren right now he could achieve both of his goals . Of course there is this risk
of Eren backstabbing him but the risk of Zeke backstabbing Eren is also there
if anything the risk for Eren should be much greater. Both of these guys better
not fall asleep around each other. On the other hand why would Eren be working
with Zeke? I think for this one is much clearer. Teaming up with Zeke would help
him so much. As you know Zeke is this high ranking military leader in Marley a
very trusting one at that. Let's not forget that Zeke has been around Marley
for his entire life he knows this place inside and out.
On top of this I could only imagine that Zeke also has some type of contact with
important military or political leaders. These could be allies or enemies of
Marley. Either or they could really help Eren. If you just look at these three
key advantages this would be extremely helpful but do you recall something else
about Zeke? Even bigger is as Zeke is a Titan shifter complete with royal
blood. Remember Eren has two Titan powers recall back to Eren's theory at
that time he doesn't say it out loud but Eren did believe that just by touching
a Titan born from royal blood he could temporarily get access to the founding
Titan powers. Now look back at Zeke his half-brother makes it very possible.
After just some brotherly love Eren could command of army of a million-plus
colossal titans. Anyway let me stop here mention a side note. I didn't mention
about Eren having to touch a Titan born of royal
blood. I know there's a good portion of people out there confused about this. Let
me explain why. When the original chapter came out you might have recall Eren
saying something about having to eat someone of royal blood. If you recall
reading this this is actually wrong. There was his typo in the chapter when
it came out. I'm talking about the official release the author Isayma
did write eat but he quickly corrected himself to mean touch. Since then all of
the official translations have been corrected but I still see a bunch of
people online confused about this. There are so many people just saying eat
Historia, eat Reiner. I don't know about that last one but anyway let me also
mention this. The whole thing about touching a Royal Blood Titan was Eren's
theory back in the day four years back. I do really believe there's a lot more to
this Eren might need some other condition to make this happen and I also
think that this isn't the only way for Eren to use these powers. Just keep
that in mind but back to Eren and Zeke teaming up as you just heard my
breakdown these guys do have a very good reason to team up but should they? I have
seen a good amount of people voice against Eren and Zeke teaming up the major
reason has been this Zeke as a beast Titan has been responsible for
countless deaths of the survey Corps. This includes the commander Erwin. Hell
even Armin got barbecued. This is also not even talking about the quarter million
of people lost by wall Maria coming down. In comparison looking back to Zeke's
Warriors the only loss Bert and maybe Annie but that's debatable. By losing Bert
this does include losing the Colossal Titan it but perhaps that's hardly
comparable. This whole Tallying of deaths from both sides has people against the
Yeager brothers teaming you up. And let's not forget the Eren from four years ago
would definitely be against it however I do see this more mature Eren being
open to the idea especially when you have the whole world against you. You
might also be thinking don't forget Levi. Levi did promise Erwin that'd take
the beast Titan down. Likewise Levi has always been the guy to
keep this cool .I still do think Levi's gonna keep his blade close at hand but
since that is Levi I think he is gonna put Paradise Island ahead of himself. So
why would Levi and Zeke join forces? Ultimately it comes down to Paradise
Island not being in a convenient position to be too picky about allies.
Assume for a moment that Eren and the Survey Corps hadn't come over or at the very
least some things hadn't gone as planned. Willy and his little speech in the
recent chapter basically turned the whole world against them and I know
technically this still is a case was Eren launching the attack the
difference here is that the Paradise Island managed to make their move first
and hopefully it does pay off. The way I see it without the help of
Zeke Eren and the scouts would have had a much harder time it may have even been
impossible. It seems that Willy was already aware of some movement before
the grant speech. You could bet that the chances that Eren and some of the
scouts would have been caught was gonna be super high if it wasn't for Zeke. And
even if everything did go fine for them up to Willy's speech you could at least
thank Zeke for removing two of his Titan partner buddies. Just imagine that
that wasn't the case Eren would have been up against a
warhammer Titan jaws and the cart Titan. I don't care who you have Mikasa with you
it would have been mission impossible. This is why you're about to see the
Donkey Kong and attack Titan teaming up really soon. Of course this is all gonna
play into Zeke's master plan. What is that master plan? That's a theory for
next time but anyway I want to hear from you!
Question of the day do you want the Jaeger brothers teaming up? Do you think
is possible or are you totally against idea? Or you might be thinking that Levi
would just turn him into barbecue meat again. Definitely let me know what you
think especially if you disagree! By the way don't forget to get us a Colossal thumbs
up and subscribe! More attack on Titan Theory videos are coming every week. I do
also have an idea for a new video series centered around all the different Titans
this would be something on top of the attack on Titan theories. Let me know
down below if you'd be interested and I'll see you guys later
