Is attack on titan about a pull off a code geass? This has been a very hot
topic lately! So what's up guys Foxen here. Today
let's go ahead and delve into this. The latest attack on Titan chapter 100 has
everyone talking about Code Geass and Attack on Titan. Is Eren about a
sacrifice himself to bring an end to all Titans and bring world peace? But before
that why is Code Geass being brought up? What is Eren's zero Requiem plan? So spoiler
warning for a 10 year plus old anime. The ending of Code Geass had Lelouch
basically becoming this dictator for the entire world. Lelouch hoped to get every
person nation every single thing on earth to hate his guts. After that
happened he had his friend Suzaku take the mantel of zero and then kill him. The
plan was ultimately to Center the hate around himself thereby bringing the
world together in their hatred. By having everyone hate him in one single moment
all of the evil on earth would disappear, just like that peace on earth achieved.
Sounds like a perfect plan doesn't it? Yeah I know you're thinking it, there's
issues about this especially when you really start breaking it down and we may
get into that but here's a question. Is about whether Eren is trying to pull
off something similar. Will Eren sacrifice himself for the world? Is
Eren gonna be resurrected in a sequel series ten years later?
oh wait not that part of Code Geass. Definitely sure your own thoughts about
this while we look into this. First things first
the ultimate Shingeki no kyojin requiem. For now let's assume that Eren is gonna
do this. How in the world is he gonna pull this off? As it stands right now you
can't exactly map the plan one-to-one with what happened in Code Geass. There's
a lot of ways Eren could pull this off. Let me just give you one version. Right
now in Chapter 100 we just had Eren pull off this surprise attack
tenderizing Willy. The popular theory right now is that Eren's gonna Massacre
and perhaps capture some of the world leaders that are here right now. As you
know there's so many world leaders and representatives at this festival but you
might be wondering wasn't killing Willy enough? I mean Willie was supposed to be
this beloved person by everyone. I think that's true but I also think you have to
be a lot more extreme. This plan to actually work you really
have to get everyone to really hate Errand the scouts. It has to be
absolutely clear that they're the true Devils the true enemies that it's them
not the innocent people on Paradise Island. This way the devil is living on
Paradise Island would be spared. That has to be the key otherwise there's no point
for this plan. So with that said you could cross off the world wanting to
hate you off your checklist. Next up how do you sacrifice himself? This is a
bigger issue. In code geass it was much much easier to do since the whole world
was watching this live. In attack on Titan you can't really do that. This is
where Hange and other Scouts come in. They already have experience using the
media from the uprising arc to spread their message. Now they just have to do
it again. The challenge with beginning the message
road why from the Marley nation or Paradise Island wherever they're at. As
for the actual sacrifice part for Eren this actually goes back to a very
popular theory for attack on Titan I've even touched about this in a previous
video. Eren will ultimately collect every single tiny shifter power which
includes Armin and Annie's Titan and then become the supreme Titan
whatchamacallit similar to Ymir. I'm sure you got
some ideas about how you could go about killing himself but I want to keep this
simple. Eren will do the whole crystal type of idea
similar to Annie this time it would be to a much more extreme level. Before that
crystal part Eren wood encase himself using the ten million plus of
colossal Titans. Somewhere in the center of all that Titan ass is gonna be Eren.
That's when he's gonna turn himself into crystal so good luck getting through
that. That's one idea and it could really be whatever as long as no one is able to
access the Titan powers for a long long time let's say 2,000 years. This would
then be the great ultimate sacrifice but unfortunately unlike Lelouch I
really don't see Eren coming back from this one. Mikasa it's gonna be super sad
on that day. A very key important thing to this is what the scouts to afterwards.
They have to use a media to spread their message worldwide now. I could hear a lot
of people screaming about this. I think that even if you're for this idea you
can agree that there's a lot of obvious issues with this so-called plan. Let's be
perfectly honest there were issues with the original zero Requiem plan. The next
question is whether Eren is trying to do this. Before getting into this I do
have to mention something because I seen a lot of people confused about this,
Eren just launches plan at the end of chapter 100 but this is important keep
this in mind this is not going to be Eren's solo plan.
Sure it could be but I highly doubt it. this is a plan that everyone is
executing that been in the works for the last four or something years. Hange
has been involved Levi, Armin, maybe even Annie . I is definitely not Eren
going solo. With that being said and out of the way is the attack on Titan
Requiem plan happening? Honestly I highly doubt it for a couple
of reasons. One, it has already been done. There's a good reason why people are
comparing this to Code Geass. We all know that Eren's gonna be dying at the end. If
he does sacrifice himself in some way the comparisons to Code Geass will never
stop and keep this in mind about Code Geass, just as a reference if you look at
My anime list Code geass is in the top 10 anime in terms of popularity, in
terms of how many people know about it. I do think more casual fans are aware of
attack on Titan but I would argue that more anime fans are aware of Code Geass or
at least are at the same level. This means that you already have a lot of
people aware of Code Geass, they know about the complete story and its conclusion or
so-called conclusion. Reason number two because it's already been done I could
guarantee that Isayama is aware about this. There's a lot of parallels in
Attack on Titan to real life history in our world. Isayama as an author is
very aware of what's going on especially about what his fans are talking about.
When I first read the attack on Titan manga the whole nine ten and shifters do
seem very similar to the beasts in Naruto. I'm sure that Isayama is very aware
about this and he's gonna make the end-result differ al lot. I'm already
seeing a lot of differences. Now with the latest chapter you got this Code Geass
comparison and even if you forget the Code Geass popularity the Code Geass r3
sequel is still coming. The sequel is definitely gonna be a hot topic next
year and the year after that. How much really all depends on whether they
go for movies or an actual 50 episodes series. And three the really most
important thing, Eren doing some sort of zero Requiem plan really goes
against the theme of the series. I would argue that Code Geass has very clear
sides. You had Zero fighting against the villains. At times he played the villain.
Attack on Titan isn't that black and white. This series has been in a really
great area and it's getting even more gray as you move on. This is a type of
story that Isayama wants Attack on Titan to be. You've already seen it with the
Marley arc since it started. And according to him they're gonna continue
showing the scouts and in Paradise island as not being so innocent.
This is why I don't see this type of ending happening for attack on Geass.
With that being said suppose he actually goes this direction would it really be
that bad of a thing? I think most people would say that on paper it would sound
like a terrible idea but I was saying wait up. You have to be
fair and see how it's actually executed. Execution here is a key. I mean just look
at the beginning of Attack on Titan for example the whole apocalyptic zombie
like premise is not new at all. Attack on Titan took the premise and
made something unique out of it. And then even after attack on Titan came out
there's been several anime that started off pretty similar.
Anyone remember Kabaneri of the Iron fortress? You had a village of people
living behind closed gates. Outside you had a bunch of zombies that wanted
everyone inside dead. One day the wall comes down and hell breaks loose. These
zombies start eating everyone in site. At the same time the people inside
retreat to another more protected area. The protagonist of the story are part
zombie Kabaneri themselves which gives them powers that allow them to fight these
creatures, sound familiar? I think you'll agree that on paper it's
super similar to attack on Titan which itself was very similar to other things
that came before it. Kabaneri of course went on to become
miss owning and sure I could hear some people screaming that this series sucks.
It had issues but that's a whole other video discussion. But anyway back
to the main topic what does this all mean? Personally I highly doubt that
attack on Titan will take the Zero Requiem route. It's already been done
plus you still have over two years of story left.
However I wouldn't be surprised that people keep comparing the two series.
Even if Attack on Titan ends with Eren sacrificing himself how Isayama
goes about doing it is the key. Isayama has done an excellent job
building attack on titan so far so you gotta have faith in Him. You gotta hope
that he doesn't stumble just before the finish line but anyway those were my
thoughts I want to hear from you now! Do you think attack on Titan will pull off
a Code Geass? Will Eren sacrificed himself to bring everlasting peace? Is
Levi going to be the Suzaku of this story or do you think this plan doesn't
make any sense at all in the attack on Titan world? I'm sure you definitely got
your own theories about this about how all of this will end. Definitely share
them down below! Also definitely like and subscribe if
