The new attack on titan ending. Did it ruin the series for you? I guess a little bit of a spoiler
i am not too happy with this. Ket's actually talk about this. Keep in mind i'm not even scripting
this this is a quick video reaction whatever i was actually supposed to be busy working on
this week's friday video coming up so anyway colossal smash that like just like you say you
must smash this series maybe seriously like this they are probably gonna take this down but i mean
who cares at this point so i guess a few things i should mention right on the day that the Attack on
titan final chapter got released the attackers had an editor went on this live stream on youtube
and he did confirm there were new panels new pages coming out since then i saw some rumors some fake
leaks supposedly saying that Isayama went online that he didn't like the fans reactions and that he
was adding more pages or perhaps even changing the ending so you could make those people happy
in the latest interview that just came out what like last week two weeks ago none of this stuff
about they say am i feeling bad about the ending worried about fan reaction was actually in the
interview so just clearing that off right away in that interview Isayama actually did mention the
eight pages coming out one interesting nugget is they say i'm mentioning that he actually thought
he could please everyone with the ending. One of my frustrations about this about the leaks goes back
to Isayama's editor in case you don't follow him on twitter the guy has been spamming that they've
been cracking down super hard on piracy. They've been going on about this for the past few i wanna
say months but now today three weeks before the volume comes out the pages are out so good job
bro and keep in mind beforehand i wasn't surprised about the monthly manga leaks getting out early
since i've been in japan personally i've seen some of these magazines out what four or five days
early some of my japanese buddies have been told me they've seen it out up to a week early let me
also add some additional context this in regards to my last two attack on titan videos especially
the last one which i felt some people took the wrong way the main points for those videos got
finished at the end of April that's when it got done after the final attack on titan chapter
was over i spent like three days at this internet cafe going over every possible issue or plot hole
that you sent in my dummies thought i was going to be able to fit all of that into one video the
actual content from the notes i had would be maybe an hour's worth of video content anyway all that
was supposed to go into various different videos the first one dove into my major issue with the
series the point being it was too vague it was too open to interpretation which some of you said it
was too negative the second one that just came out actually covered your issues that were actually
touched on in story that video was supposed to come out much sooner but got pushed back the third
video or issues after that would have covered problems i had with Ymir Mikasa and by extension
indirectly Eren mostly related to the rumbling arc i do mention that now since it's probably not
happening now cut out from the previous video due to time is something i think we could all agree on
either the Attack on Titan final chapter or the rumbling arc needed to be longer needed to
be over explained explain more keep this in mind this is going to be important for our discussion
with the new pages first off is this actual mikasa holding Eren's head and the Ymir scene
one of the first things i instantly noticed is that this is actually older Ymir not the kid
Ymir this is her when she died so as a positive i'm actually liking Mikasa actually talking here
or expressing some dots hell you know how much i voiced the finale needed much more of this from
her i do think this helps to clarify the love part a bit instead of simply Ymir simping being in
love with that awful king a large part of it or an important part seems to have included her actual
kids her people the actual Mikasa Ymir video is probably not happening now anymore but i do need
to hammer down that i do think this whole love situation was something that Isayama desperately
needed to dive into you just can't leave something that horrible so vague if anything it almost feels
irresponsible to do so in those three days that i did lock myself in the internet cafe i did feel i
was doing mental gymnastics trying to find a way that this fit into the story which to be fair i
do think something was lost in translation but that doesn't cover everything just like you say
i'm actually spent a good amount of time with gabby showing her perspective something similar
should have been done for Ymir right here you do see this panel of what would have happened
it looks like Ymir's imagination what she's picturing if she had not saved the king almost if
saying if she only had done something similar to what mikasa did to Eren unfortunately it did not
happen getting into one of the new pages so you see what looks like a future Mikasa with her kid
and a husband so apparently Mikasa got together with Jean the stallion and i'm already seeing
people piss the hell off about this i will say it feels like a middle finger to Eren and mikasa
fans i've already done a whole video on the whole love situation with Attack on titan unfortunately
it feels like there's a lot of tackling fans that are only watching Attack on titan and for me
there's a ton of other anime that already filled that role for me if i do want to see some romance
on the flip side god damn i do almost feel worse for Eren i do hope he actually spent some time in
that titan realm road memory whatever hopefully he hit that at least mentally forever in the mikasa
shippers i really don't blame you if you're not happy seeing this development at the very least
as a positive at least you could see Mikasa moving on she wasn't just stuck there visiting the rock
every single day but something does tell me Mikasa did scream out Eren at least one time that they
got feisty in the forest shot you can see the nation developing looks like elder was able to
expand greatly interesting to see that this tree thing where everyone was buried is so open to the
public i could imagine a good chunk of the world not being too happy that this monument exists. Next
up looks like one final flower from Mikasa you can see the bandage there probably when Mikasa is like
super extremely old i do wonder if the Ackerman lived longer and then right next to it you can
actually see Mikasa passing away she still has a scarf oh my god so does this kind of go against me
constantly moving away from Eren anyway getting to the very controversial scene you see the island
being decimated so right now this seems to be the biggest shock the biggest takeaway the biggest
dislike the biggest middle finger to the fans that he say emma just doesn't care about this series in
case anyone wasn't a fan with the attack attack and ended me forehand i know this is going to get
you pissed off even more especially anyone that said aaron did not accomplish anything all right
so looking at the final page it looks like hey it's that tree that Ymir found what was it like
2 000 years ago maybe two thousand a hundred so hey mikasa never had the guts to freaking
destroy Eren's head one obvious takeaway from this is that the titan powers are still around
which technically we didn't get a confirmation that they were eradicated look at the size of the
tree how many years does it take for the tree to get that huge this magical titan wee tree was it a
hundred years 200 years more than that are there any good titan experts out there i would say at
least 100 to 200 years have passed sensing so what did aaron accomplish at the very least peace and
lifetime for his fans this does prove that Armin and his friends were successful perhaps not 100
200 years after that which goes back to the yelena quote about a nation's future not being guaranteed
at the same time it does kind of verify anyone that wanted the whole world to be destroyed so
anyone that thought the original ending was a happy ending or wasn't dark enough here you go
you got a grim darker ending part of what i like about this is that at least it is now very or at
least different enough from the code Geass Ending i cut this out from the previous video i thought
i was going to talk about it later for me the ending was much too similar so if for nothing else
i kind of like that this happened partly the issue that i have with this actual ending is
what exactly happened it goes back to my issue with the rumbling arc did eldea develop those
icebergs nukes did they become Marley which had already taken a page out of the old Eldia
come on isaiah give us some context i do see there being a cultural difference with japan being more
open to these type of stories compared to the rest of the world that wanted concrete answers
of course it's not being the only issue with what we got here i do feel like it was not
needed for me part of it feels like it's among wanting to have his titan cake and eat it too
this ending technically confirms Mikasa and Armin succeeded in bringing peace temporary
peace to the island so we'll win at the same time for anyone that disliked the ending you did get a
loss with Eldia being wiped out at the same time pretty heavily implying the titan powers are still
there which again i do wonder what the state of the world is are you gonna find the titan critter
inside there when i was locked up in that internet cafe one of the things i was thinking about is
what exactly confirms that the titan powers are no more i do think one of the takeaways he said my
does want us to have from the story is something now that he heavily implied with this ending
that just because the titan powers were wiped out from aaron's side that there isn't anything
preventing this other kid this other person from acquiring this massive potential power that could
be used to oppress a different group of people at the same time i do feel these extra pages add
even more questions that we really should have gotten some sort of answer to say the attacking
titan world is in the year 2050 2100 what exactly is the state of the world would titan powers not
even matter at this point how about this time we do it right and everyone's just an ackerman
from the beginning which by the way i wouldn't be surprised if Mikasa got buried next to Eren.
For those of you asking whether this is really setting up some sequel for attack on titan
i gotta say i doubt it for one i really do think Isayama is ready to move on which
is not to say that he could impose something like borrow two and have someone else do some other
side project or spin-off for anyone asking whether there's going to be a change for the anime i do
see these new pages being incorporated into that again i do hope the anime actually fully fleshes
out some of the ideas Isayama wasn't able to. So my final thoughts on this from the last video
i saw some people claiming that i thought this was a masterpiece that Attack on Titan is amazing
when i've never said that. After the chapter came out i was in the middle. There were some things i
liked some things i disliked. After spending three days in that net cafe the things i disliked i felt
worse and worse about that stuff. Overall now i feel like i'm no longer in the middle i'm leaning
towards the dislike territory. The rumbling arc was by far the weakest point of the story post time
skip and it didn't need to be i don't know if his email was rushed or whether he was rushing himself
fixated on that chapter 139 number because this final stretch needed to be much longer i do think
the new panel has left the bad taste of my mouth i do feel like attack on titan is not in my top 10
anymore but i'm still open to see how the anime handles this stuff and if you're asking whether
this ending ruined Attack on Titan for me be honest not really it really just added more to
the powers of issues i had regarding mikasa ymir and by extension Eren involved with him i think
i would have been more open to this finale this darker doomsday scenario if the actual magazine
what two months ago happens the Attack on Titan editor mentioned a 52 page limit but screw that
this is literally the magazine's biggest series by far he could afford to double the page number
that said despite how terrible i do think the rumbling arc was handled i could see a decent
amount of changes made to the event so they play off better in the anime at least to give you some
some credit you now guaranteed people will be talking about attack on titan for decades to come
so what did Eren accomplish at least going by the new chapter temporarily removing the titan
powers since it's heavily implied the titan cycle will repeat eren did want his friends to live long
lives which technically did happen Eldia just got destroyed 100 plus 200 plus years into the
future who knows with the new kid becoming the founding titan maybe someone's not going to be
taking advantage of him like they did for ymir again you're free to interpret there is another
huge Isayama interview next month plus the attacker titan guidebook that should be i think like 200
pages let me know if you want to see that for my upcoming return to exams attack titan hometown
visit unfortunately it's just been under my control tokyo isn't locked down until the end
of the month i'm kind of considering canceling that trip now i don't know should i still go
but anyway let me know your thoughts about the new pages did it ruin the series for you do you
think people are overreacting did you previously like the ending and now hate it because of this
i imagine things are going to get heated but post below don't forget to like and subscribe
