- [Foxen] Could the latest Attack on Titan Chapter, 119,
have been all a dream?
So what's up guys, Foxen here.
Oh yes, I'm talking about
the ultimate dream for the female Eren.
Watch, you're suddenly gonna see Gabi wake up next chapter.
But seriously, could Eren have been pulling an Aizen?
"Oh, I just died, game over.
"Physc just kidding, made ya look."
So ever since Eren supposedly dying, there's been theories
popping up about what actually happened.
Part of this does stem from some of the inconsistent things
happening in the last chapter.
So far there's two very popular ideas floating around,
the first being that Eren already activated
the Founding Titan,
and Eren is creating some illusion
or fake memories from people around this chapter.
Or the popular theory number two.
But this is the possible future that Eren has seen happen.
Oh yes, Eren the Broken is seeing into the future.
Or would that be Eren the Raven?
For this to actually be true, the question that becomes is
how did Eren activate the Founding Titan powers?
Eren has touched his beloved oni-chan,
in the kinky way, or otherwise.
So, go ahead and leave a thumbs up and subscribe.
Hit that bell so YouTube actually sends you my videos.
So let's go ahead and go down the list
of supposed inconsistencies.
Just how much of this chapter could have been Isayama?
Having a little bit too much to drink, in other words,
Isayama making mistakes?
What if there aren't any mistakes?
So let's go ahead and go down the list then,
I'll give you my thoughts
and my own theories surrounding this.
First off, let's talk about Commander Pyxis.
Or should I say the mindless bald titan Pyxis?
So, just before we had the beast out and screaming,
you saw Pyxis drinking some whisky right out of the bottle.
You go, old dude.
But hold up a minute.
Just a minute ago, Pyxis was seen riding a horse.
Then, suddenly in this next shot
Pyxis is no longer riding the horse, but behind this wall.
So, hey, maybe that's where Gabi got the horse.
And yes, we're gonna get to Gabi.
So a lot of people are wondering,
where did Pyxis get the fricking bottle?
Kinda random.
How did Pyxis know to prepare that just before his death?
But the more important part is,
why is this guy no longer riding a horse?
Honestly, for all the events here,
I don't see anything that weird.
These guys were circling around,
perhaps more soldiers were on their way,
so now they're stuck behind this wall.
The bottle is a little weird,
but perhaps Pyxis thought he would die, so he grabbed that
before he left the building.
The actual weird part here, is that, moments ago,
Pyxis was seen wearing that red armband on the horse.
Suddenly you switch over to this side,
and now that thing is gone.
So, was this just a mistake my Isayama,
or could this have been a false memory?
For now, I'm gonna go with mistake.
But let's see if this actually holds up.
Next up, let's talk about the Cart Titan's.
Two issues here.
In the previous chapter,
they mentioned Pieck having only one shot left.
So what was up with this chapter of her shooting Eren again
in the head?
So, let's actually go back and look at the chapter.
That one shot line thing,
that's not exactly what Pieck actually meant.
Perhaps his English translation wasn't too clear,
but Pieck really meant that they only had one more chance
at a surprise attack.
Not that they were only limited
to only having one shot left.
So this part is fine.
Then you get in to the second Pieck issue.
In the second chapter, Pieck got outside of her titan,
but then all of a sudden in this chapter,
Pieck is back in titan form.
That part I really don't think is an issue,
I mean the Cart Titan should be able
to use multiple titan transformations, no problem.
See is not one titan that can stay in titan form
for a long-ass time.
The real issue here is that you don't see any steam
or visual remains of the leftover titan.
I mean, you had a whole titan skeleton left over there,
that does take a little bit of time to go away.
But okay, let's just go ahead and assume Pieck went into
titan mode and then with the titan lightning or light-show,
perhaps that could've destroyed
or blown away the titan remains.
I'll go ahead and give Isayama this part; there is a worse
inconsistent part that I noticed,
which is the Cart Titan still having
those bands around his legs, and also mid-section.
I'm wondering whether this could've been a mistake.
If you recall a little bit before,
Pieck naturally had them when she went in to titan mode,
and actually took the time to put on the cannon saddle.
But then you have her going into titan mode the second time,
I mean, unless those things take a few seconds to put on,
none of those should be there.
In fact, you actually see Pieck as a car titan a couple of
times this chapter without those leg and body straps.
But then, in a few chapters later, they're suddenly back on.
So, could this have been part of that supposed illusion,
or just a mistake by Isayama?
I'm gonna wanna lean more towards the mistake, for now.
Next up, let's talk about your favorite Attack on Titan
female character, Gabi.
All right, so there's so many issues surrounding this girl.
First off, you have Gabi randomly coming with a horse.
As some of you guys have pointed out,
actually back in the farm chapter,
Gabi had this almost throw-away
line about not being able to ride a horse,
that this proves that this whole thing is an illusion,
since Gabi shouldn't be able to ride a horse.
So, quick disclaimer here, I've never tried to ride a horse.
I would actually imagine it's a little bit easier
if the horse actually has a saddle,
like the one that Gabi was riding in.
If you actually go back to Chapter 109,
it wasn't exactly that much of a throw-away line.
It was of her question,
why was Gabi not trying to run away despite them being
surrounded by fricken horses?
Right here, Gabi admitted to not trying to escape on a
horse and she never practiced riding one.
And yes, somehow I'm being overly fair to Gabi.
I don't think it's impossible that she could have actually
learned a little bit on her time on the farm.
That's not too much of a stretch.
So yes, I still that that the whole horse-Gabi thing is
a little weird, but for now,
let's go ahead and give it a pass.
Let's get to the bigger issue,
which is really Gabi shooting an anti-titan rifle.
And getting the hit kill on Eren.
First off, some of you guys have a problem about where Gabi
actually got this rifle,
which I don't think it the issue here.
Gabi having this weapon actually isn't a problem at all.
Gabi really just swiped it
from the super-crispy guy that remained.
Then, for a moment let's just forget about
whether or not Gabi could have actually made the shot.
Let's not forget that Gabi is a small, tiny,
twelveish year old girl,
who should be like 80 to 90 pounds, maybe less.
How much does a loli weigh?
But seriously, do you think Gabi actually lifting this
30 to 40 pound anti-titan rifle?
In other words, something that could have been potentially
half her weight, if not more?
And yes, you do actually see Gabi lifting
the gun up when taking the
shot at the very end of the chapter.
On top of this, like I mentioned I am no gun expert,
but even I could see that Gabi should have suffered some
recoil on her body.
I'll be really, really surprised if next chapter,
she didn't break an arm
or broke some sort of bone, or bones.
As for Gabi actually pulling the shot,
first off she would've had a gun and the weapon.
She would've had to been able to lift it and carry it,
a little bit.
She was already crying so, keep her mental state in mind.
And then actually getting the shot in?
The warriors do actually have some rifle experience,
but then the aftermath, the recoil damage on her body.
This actually brings up a different issue,
let's go back to the whole cool gun thing.
Just a few moments ago you had Falco transforming,
after that you say the gun underneath the Colt body remains.
But take a look at the gun.
How did this thing not melt?
How did this thing not get damaged one bit?
You actually get a few shots of the actual gun,
this thing looks perfectly new.
Let's just go ahead and assume this thing survived somehow
by some miracle without any damage.
How did Gabi carry it?
And I'm not talking about the weight here.
This thing at the very least should have been super hot.
At least warm.
So how did Gabi not get burnt?
Overall, I really think there's one Gabi scene
that makes the least sense.
So keep this in mind.
Next up, let's talk about Eren.
For this chapter you only saw Eren eject out of his titan.
But what the hell?
How is Eren still fully clothed now
despite the jaws titan biting his legs off?
Just a few chapters ago, the jaws titan gave him shorts.
Titans do not regenerate clothing.
Oh yes, and I should also mention,
Eren is technically also missing the jacket.
About the jacket though,
it has been known that you could lose clothing a few times
when going into the titan mode.
Eren could've also just left it inside the titan when he
ejected after getting his titan super hard.
Eren having the titan pants here is a major issue.
I can see Isayama making this mistake once, maybe twice,
but you see this multiple times.
This really goes back to fuelling
the whole illusion-slash-fake-titan memory theory.
Next up, let's talk about Eren's face here, his eyes.
Supposedly this was a huge hint
at Eren using the Founding Titan powers.
For starters, in this chapter, Eren actually started
showing emotion again, which for me wasn't really
an issue, makes it more seem like Eren didn't have a reason
to hide his true intentions, since beforehand they could've
been given away via his expression.
I mean, Eren was inside of his fricken titan.
The second thing regarding Eren's eyes,
is that this was supposed to be a point showing that
Eren actually already activated the Founding Titan powers.
That Eren's eyes here actually look like the founding
titan's eyes in a couple of shots this chapter.
First off, for this you do have a more unique design
for the eyes in the anatomy.
They look all shiny.
But previously the Founding Titan eyes did have a more dark
look to the Founding Titan user using this.
This was when that person was
influenced, slash restricted, slash possessed,
by the elden kings ideology.
This eye shading color would've been very hard to miss
if Eren's eyes did actually indicate
the Founding Titan being used.
Looking back at Eren's eyes in this chapter,
it clearly doesn't match.
And actually, if you look back at the manga, or at least
the past thirty chapters, you'll notice that Isayama likes
to use this particular eye design often for Eren.
After all, Isayama only really has black,
white and grays for the manga.
So he has to make do with what he's got.
So, going back to the original topic,
are all these inconsistencies being done on purpose,
or is Isayama flat-out making mistakes?
Keep in mind Isayama has been known to forget some details,
and correct them later.
Another example is him forget the elden armbands,
and a couple Eldians and then ter-min his illness.
This stuff usually gets fixed just in time
for the volume release.
And let's not forget about the time that he said Eren
should eat Historia instead of touch Historia.
Big mistake right there.
I do also recall at one point Isayama
forgetting which arm that Irwin lost.
So, to help answer this, let me show you this.
In the actually magazine that Attack on Titan got released,
at the very end, this was included, some words for Isayama.
That two days before the deadline,
Isayama still had 21 pages to do.
That is so surprising.
Keep in mind that's basically half the chapter.
We do know that Isayama has been extremely busy
this past two months.
The Attack on Titan final exhibition just launched
a few weeks ago, which I do have a video on, by the way.
As someone that visit it, I could definitely guarantee
that someone like Isayama would have been working on that
and double checking this stuff constantly.
This also doesn't even factor all the time that Isayama
has been involved with.
With helping the Wit Studio for the Attack on Titan Season
Part Two Anime, and potentially Season Four,
since they have to storyboard that.
So this is just a really long way of saying that Isayama has
been extremely busy.
Mistakes could have been made this chapter.
As a counterpoint to this, let me also bring up that Isayama
does have an editor, I would also be surprised if more
people didn't check the chapter.
So what, Isayama, his editor, and a couple of other people
are too busy to double or triple-check this chapter,
possibly, I'm still like 50-50 on this.
Anyway, let's get in to my thoughts
and theories around this.
First off, regarding Eren using the Founding Titan power.
Keep in mind, Eren, as the Founding Titan cannot affect
certain groups of people.
That would be people like the Volunteers,
the Yelena and Onyankopon.
But also don't forget about
the mauling soldiers currently fighting.
The Founding Titan power should also
not affect current titan shifters.
This would include Reiner, Pieck, Porco, the beast titan,
and also don't forget about Armin fighting in the distance.
Another person that should definitely not be affected
would be Mikasa, fighting nearby.
That would be the real test.
What is Mikasa's reaction next chapter?
Is Mikasa about to go full Ackerman on Gabi's little ass?
It'll be Mikasa turning into a sushi chef.
Then again, on the flip-side,
let me put out this disclaimer.
In Attack on Titan Season Two's finale you saw that
Eren was not able to command titan shifters.
It is very likely that these guys are immune.
However, are these titan shifters also immune to the
Founding Titan potentially altering their memories?
I would also think that they would be immune to this,
but Isayama could make it so they're affected,
if he wanted to.
Next up, let me bring up Zeke, which is another issue.
Why would Eren be trying to touch Zeke right now?
This guy is not in titan form.
Could it be that Eren only needs to touch his royal blood,
rather titan shifter, not necessarily a royal blood person
in titan form.
That would be a little bit more convenient.
As for my theory on this,
Isayama does seem to be mixing truth with lies,
which is really what Pyxis mentions in the recent chapter.
Potentially in the past two to three chapters,
could of been made up of truth and lies.
For now, let me just focus on this chapter, I'll get in
to where exactly the lies start for this chapter.
Before getting into this, let me also mention this involving
the Founding Titan abilities.
This titan has always been thought of
being the most powerful, however, the full extension of
the Founding Titan powers has not been discussed in depth.
You've been told that this Founding Titan can alter memories
of Eldian subject of the Ymir people.
Although recently, only a few chapters ago,
Tom hinted at the Founding Titan being able to change
the body structure of Eldians.
So, is this really just an additional, extra ability?
Or really the true ability of the Founding Titan?
In other words, is mind-wiping power only being a subset
of this more divine ability.
It really just means there's a lot about the finding titan
we don't know yet, especially behind its powers.
Powers that perhaps Eren was able to find out more about.
So, getting into where the potential lies and the supposed
illusion could have started, this was right when the armored
titan punched Eren in the mouth.
Wasn't it really weird that Eren got his titan
super hard here?
I mean, why?
It's not like Eren was necessarily in trouble anyway.
If you look at the scene a moment later,
it was useless either way.
Reiner broke it immediately.
So why did Eren eject?
It feels like this could've been Eren's back up plan,
that Eren wanted the beast titan up on the wall.
Could Eren himself be a link to his own hard titan show
that he created years earlier?
Recall that Eren and Zeke
had to meet under a certain meeting point,
no doubt the potentially troubled would arise.
So, they had a backup plan just in case.
Could in prison Eren still have a connection
to his titan crystal?
Perhaps to do with the titan paths?
But when I started thinking about this more,
keep in mind this titan crystal is connected to the titan
crystal from the walk halls of titans.
Could this really just mean that Eren was already connected
to Zeke in the first place?
In other words, all he ever really need to do was just touch
the wall or his titan shell.
That's assuming that his shell didn't already have a
connection to himself.
Next step, getting to my second possible theory on this,
don't forget about the war titan ability.
When Eren was dealing with Reiner,
perhaps this guy connected from below,
it'd be similar to when that warhammer titan did that
tree-structure thing on the attack on mollyarc.
In other words, Eren already pulled a diglet and has
already been connected to Zeke.
There actually has been precedence for ever doing this.
Recall that Eren originally used
the warhammer titan,ability to escape out of jail.
There's even a decent chance
that Eren did this in human form.
Then from the crime pattern, moments ago, you saw Eren use
the spikes from his back and the ground.
All these spikes were titan crystal.
Eren pinned down on the ground was super close
to the beast titan body anyway,
in other words Eren really could've connected
to Zeke's titan, that was already faceplanted on the ground.
This whole thing could've been similar to when Armin
and Eren tricked the colossal titan
in Attack on Titan Season Three Part Two.
Maybe that wasn't the original plan, but if the monkey
happened to fall on the ground,
Eren could take advantage of that.
This really does blow down to Eren then having activated
the Founding Titan power to quickly create this false
scene or memory for those Eldians close by.
This would be for Gabi, Reiner, and perhaps even Zeke.
It would be funny if that was also why Falco
and his titan turned on Porco instead.
In other words, it was Eren commanding his titan.
"Hey, Falco, let's go ahead
"and let Reiner suffer a little more."
This would help explain Eren's past situation.
But more importantly, the whole Gabi anti-titan shot.
Unfortunately this would mean that everyone else
still went into titan mode,
since only the close people got affected.
So those are my two theories on this,
although I should mention the other two possibilities
of everyone either seeing this future vision of events
to come, or set events already happened,
and then like I mentioned in my chapter review,
Eren's really just gonna send his memories back in time.
It'll be like a live-die repeat event, Steinsgate,
or even that recent Code Geass movie.
The problem with this is that it doesn't fix in 'cause
of the parts with the whole Gabi scene, or Eren's past.
And hey, if nothing else,
Eren's just gonna pull a Reiner cockroach move.
But seriously, I'm even sure how people actually
think that Eren died.
At the very end, the Attack on Titan final audio confirms
Eren is alive, or at least not dead yet.
So overall, I would actually prefer my
first two theories about this.
Otherwise, you start getting into the issue of,
if you could actually reset the stuff,
where is the risk or consequences?
Isayama would have to lay out there being some hard
restrictions or cost involved, which is really why I'm
sticking with the first options.
Next chapter, could we see the rumbling starting.
But let me know down below,
what is your theory about the events?
How does Eren walk away from this?
Did Eren really die?
Will Gabi become the main character now?
By the way, just really quickly,
I just saw the Weathering With You,
which is Shinkai's follow-up movie to Kimi no Na wa.
Review is coming tomorrow, so definitely look forward to it.
Anyway, go ahead and post
your thoughts and theories down below,
the Attack on Titan Chapter 19 discussion
is coming soon too.
Go ahead and check out my video
on the final Attack on Titan exhibition, and final audio.
Did Isayama spoil the ending?
And, I'll see you guys later.
