Is the Beast Titan really betraying Marley? So what's up guys Foxen here!
juicy topic here today. Is Zeke about to backstab Marley and not just Marley also
the Warriors? More specifically what are all the clues have been leading up to
this. Before getting started I do ask that you guys keep an open mind about
this. There have been a lot of shady clues from Zeke but it does not mean
that 100% he's ultimately gonna turn. In fact when I was looking into this there
seems to be so much stuff here that is starting to feel too obvious. Anyway
let's go ahead and delve into this. First important thing that I must bring up is
Zeke's intelligence and yes to some of you may sound weird. Officially Zeke's
intelligence has been classified as an 11 out of 10. Yeah that's beyond the
limit and this is Isayama proclaiming that the Warchief is one of
the smartest characters in the series only tied with a certain someone else. In
other words by Isayama's own claim if you put Zeke at the head of the
Titan research group he's gonna end up inventing the Titan form X mm hmm but
seriously as a comparison another character that has been given an 11 in a
different category is Levi. Unsurprisingly Levi got an 11 for combat. I
don't think I needed to go into detail and how overpowered Levi seems to be.
Just ask Zeke he still has that sushi PTSD from him but anyway the point here is as
Zeke is what Levi is for compatibility except it's all in Zeke's big head. Next
key item Zeke's secret. This is something I see from Zeke that people seem to have
forgotten about. Part of the reason may have been due to a questionable fan
translation. Back all the way in the start the Marley Arc Zeke mentioned about
having his own secret from Marley. Zeke tells Colt he'll he'll find out about
his secret once he inherits his memories. Let's see if that actually happens. The
point here is that already back then Zeke was keeping his own things from
Marley. Perhaps this could have been in Zeke's true own goal however in the same
scene you also got confirmed that Zeke has not told anyone about his royal
blood. No one is aware about this not Marley and not even as possible
successor Colt. Could the secret that Zeke is keeping from Marley be about his
royal blood? Possibly but I doubt that is only about that. Most likely is about
Zeke's objective about why he chose to turn
into his parents years back. You might also see this relating back to the
beast titans memories that were passed down.
Next up Zeke literally looking suspicious. The next one is one of the
more interesting ones that I feel and it's just about how Zeke looks
throughout the Marley Arc. Specifically the way that Zeke is drawn, the way he's
shown, the position of his body and the times you can or cannot see the
expressions on his eyes. I gotta hand it to Isayama for giving this guy
glasses. It really helps a lot with hiding what this guy is thinking. What is
important to notice is how Zeke changes from the start of the Marley arc to
where you are now. Zeke starting of having about similar screen time and
dialogue as Reiner. As you know Reiner went on to have a more of his story fleshed
out. Yet for Zeke it seemed like almost a complete opposite happened. You start
seeing less and less of him up to the point where you have shots of Zeke
without any speech at all. I don't think this necessarily screams out suspicious
but it should scream out mysterious. I also mentioned about the way that Zeke
is drawn this actually started from the beginning of the Marley Arc. Often you
rarely get to see Zeke's eyes.Yyou could pass this off since there is a guy with
glasses. Perhaps Isayama is just lazy hmm and
that would be a mistake to think on its own but anyway do notice the position of
Zeke's body throughout the Marley Arc you see Zeke turned away from people. This happens
on multiple occasions. It doesn't matter whether Zeke's with a group of Marley
soldiers, Marley government officials or even the warrior group. I mean just look
at the freaking cover of the Marley Arc. It even has Zeke like this. Zeke is
literally seen turning his back on the Warriors aka Marley. I'm starting to
think that this seems way too obvious that Zeke would turn. Come on Isayama! Can you
be a little subtle about it but really has anyone else noticed this
shady-looking Zeke throughout the whole Marley Arc? Next up you have Zeke telling
the Warriors that Marley is listening in. Continuing with the start of the Marley
Arc you got the scene where you have Zeke telling the other warriors about
the Tybur plan to attack Paradise Island.
Mr. jaws and a lot of people seem to miss the subtle hint. That comment
about Marley not being in this room, so Zeke let them know that they were being
spied on by Marley. I'm sure he was told to keep this to himself
that if they even told him about it. This
whole situation honestly is not enough to make you think that Zeke would turn
on Marley but clearly Zeke has his own thoughts about Marley as a whole. It
doesn't seem like he trusts them 100%. Next up that shot of Zeke talking on the
phone to someone. Just a little before the festival you have this single shot
of Zeke on the phone no text at all if anything no context either. So who was he
talking to was he talking? To Eren? The scouts? Willy? Was Zeke ordering a pizza?
Perhaps Zeke instead was the one that received a phone call. To be honest
originally I didn't think this was too suspicious but looking at everything
that's happening now and then back to this this must have been Zeke up to
something. And I really do think as someone calling him since he could be
sure there's a high chance that someone would be listening in. As for what I
originally thought about this it was right after the panel that Willy got
introduced so I really just suspected that Zeke was chatting with the Tybur
family but what do you think? Who was Zeke talking to? Maybe it was Levi! Next
up that frickin baseball glove. You randomly see Eren with this baseball
glove at the hospital. He even tells Falco that he got it from his family.
Keep in mind that just before this Zeke was shown twice playing with the
baseball glove so really there's gonna be more to this! Just think who else was
at this hospital? Oh yes Zeke and Eren's grandfather. This
would have made a perfect excuse for him to visit the hospital and then meet up
with Eren. Eren did say that was from his family. There are some people that
think this is just random. I mean hey there are so many baseball gloves in the
world. Isayama could just be putting that to throw you off and really I'm not
discarding that possibility either. Perhaps Eren got this from someone else.
If we're talking about the scouts that would have been a random-ass gift. So to
be fair Isayama could be trolling you although so far there's only been
one character that has close ties to baseball. I guess the other possibility
could have been Colt. Perhaps that guy is either working with the Zeke or wants
to backstab him. Next up Eren's itchy face and yes I know and this is a dumb
one. Totally admit this one looks like a stretch however small details like this
aren't just randomly throwing in without meaning especially when you consider
that this is from Isayama. This is either a small hint or is meant
to throw you off. But anyway what does this even mean? In
the past Zeke has been seen doing this several times at this point is pretty
much a defining characteristic. It actually started all the way back with
this introduction at the start of season two. Unfortunately Mike got a first-hand
experience at it so why is Eren now just randomly doing something similar
that is key to another character? Coincidence perhaps? You often pick up
habits unknowingly from people you come in contact with. I wouldn't be surprised
if Eren picked this up from a possible meeting with Zeke. Both of these two
could have met a couple of times at that hospital. They could have had a quick
meeting in the bathroom. Next up Zeke telling / encouraging Reiner to go with
Falco before the festival. Tight before the festival Falco disappeared then came
back to try to get Reiner to follow him. Zeke had no problem at all. Sure we have
time. Just look at that mysterious face. Zeke's like yeah, your turn to spend some
time with the other Jaeger but seriously does this go back to Falco sending
letters. Eren had been sending multiple letters over a month period. There's
still some debate from people about who exactly Eren was contacting. To Falco
Eren claimed that it was his family so was it Mikasa and the survey Corps or
could it happen his half-brother Zeke? I personally say why not both? Perhaps
Eren was in contact with Zeke and the survey Corps. He definitely had time to
do both. This eventually could have gotten Zeke or someone working with Zeke
to come meet up with Eren at the hospital. Next up this is a big one
Zeke following that soldier. Before the start of this Zeke look like he was expecting
someone. In this just known as his face and hand position here is Zeke doesn't
even look towards a soldier when he arrives.
Was he just waiting until the time came? Another important thing you should note
is is that even though Magath has requested the soldiers why was Zeke not
even trying to say something about Reiner?
I mean Reiner's a warrior too and Zeke is the one that let him go. Magath
realistically would have wanted all the soldiers which includes Reiner.
Afterwards you know what happened. The soldier trapped Peick and the Jaws. Before
this that soldier just told Zeke to keep on going with its own thing. If this
doesn't scream out suspicious I don't know what does.
Besides Zeke didn't even question the order so where did Zeke go after this? Did
he meet up with the Scout? Did he go chat was Levi and Hange before the plan?
Perhaps Zeke did have time to change his clothes. I mean later on when you see him
he's already in beast Titan mode. All of the suspicious behavior from Zeke leads
us to the latest chapter. I already went point by point in my follow-up
discussion to that chapter so check that out if you want every detail. The main
point here is a supposed death of the beast. There's no question about it
Levi sure is powerful but for the Beast to go down like that you don't even have
a reaction shot from Zeke. I mean if you were watching this in the
anime you could have blinked and missed it completely. This is all then followed
up by that weird slice done by Levi. That is not how you kill a Titan especially a
Titan shifter. Finally to end it you then have Levi blowing him the hell up.
This really could have been a cover to trick Marley and other Titan shifters
that Zeke had died. Some people even think that it looked like Zeke ejected
himself right before Levi sliced him. This also brings up the fact that you
only sees Zeke's face and only that in this whole battle. Meanwhile for the
other Titan shifters like Pieck and Jaws you can actually see what they're
wearing. Did Zeke just go follow that soldier and then get a 3d maneuver gear
and a black suit? Think about it. Remember he did take that 3d maneuver gear from
Mike at the start of season 2. Which by the way did he ever tell Pieck or Marley
about it? I got a go feeling that Zeke just happened to keep it to himself but
anyway if all this is true this brings up more questions. Why would the scouts
or specifically Levi work with Zeke and also why would Zeke even turn on
them? For Levi's working with Zeke people always bring up the fact that he made
that promise to kill him to Erwin. For this you guys have always seen how
rational Levi is. Right now a Paradise Island is at stake this just means that
Levi is not gonna stick to that promise just for the sake of it. If you know Levi
at all he would definitely consider everything first. As to why is Zeke would turn
I do want to fully expand on Zeke's master plan and his motives in a full video but
let me touch on him here. You once saw Zeke being fully against the Devils on
Paradise Island. He killed so many including the commander
badass himself Erwin. How I see it was that Zeke had been against the Eldians
on that island up until that battle. After that whole
conflict something changed with Zeke. You even saw Zeke telling Eren that he
would save him one day. So far has been four years since it. I see Zeke having a
lot of time to reflect on this and perhaps changing his thoughts on those
so-called Devils. Ultimately this just means Zeke would be open to working with
Eren and the Survey Corps or potentially a third party. Likewise
Levi and the older Eren would have been open to this idea. I'm pretty sure both
of the sides would have had their own personal issues although not enough to
prevent working together temporarily. As for Zeke turning on Marley and which
side he's truly on right now Zeke could be working with a Scouts, an Asian country
or another one of Marley's enemies and to be perfectly honest I kind of hope
we're wrong about this. Looking back at this stuff and piecing it together it
almost seems like it's too obvious especially with that cover. Right here
Zeke is just screaming that is up to something.
Whenever this gets made into the anime I'm sure it'll be way easier to spot
so hopefully Zeke is working with a third party or it could turn out that he's
at least playing both Marley and the scout's side. Ultimately it'll be for Zeke's
own secret plan but hey that's an attack on Titan theory! More important let me
hear from you! Question of the day, do you think the
Beast Titan really died last chapter? Or do you see this all being part of Zeke's
plan? Which side is Zeke really on? And what does Zeke's ultimate goal? Tell me
your own theory is down below. Anyway definitely gives this a Colossal thumbs up
and subscribe! More attack on Titan breakdowns are coming including what is
Zeke's master plan. By the way have you ever thought about Levi Ackerman turning
into a Titan shifter? If you said no you definitely need to check out my recent
video discussion sonnets and I'll see you guys later
