🔅 THREAD 1 🔅
🔸Ymir's Curse plot and why it was always meant to be about Mikasa🔸
🔅
• Full connection of the dots from ch. 1 to chapter 139.
• Why this ending is planned since the beginning.
• Isayma knows what he is doing.
🔅 Major plot point 1 : The day Mikasa's name was pronounced for the first time, Kruger's words about the curse and Eren's goals.
• The birds scene in the beginning were a forshadowing.
• Kruger talks to Grisha about the curse and the paths functions, also about the curse.
• He mentions Mikasa and Armin's name in the first time in the manga, " If you want to save Mikasa and Armin and everybody else" and the " breaking the cycle" we should have known that time that Mikasa and Armin where the most important persons in the story .
🔸At the same time, we have Eren and Mikasa talking about the curse, a huge forshadowing of Eren's death, and its impact on Mikasa.
🔅 Major plot point 2 : Grisha knows Mikasa is important, so he takes Eren to meet her and insists that they become friends, Eren saves her, the most important bond in the story is created at scarf wrapping moment
🔅 Major plot point 3 : Eren's dream .
Chapter 1's name is : " To you, 2000 years from now".
• ch 139 said that Ymir led Eren to paths to drag Mikasa, so Ymir sent Mikasa's dream to Eren , 2000 years from now, to lead him.
° We can see the parallelism after Eren wakes up.
• On the tree, we can see a cross, it forshadowed the end of thee curse and its connection to tge dream, just like that scene that we have in Season's 2 ending.
🔸Major forshadowing : There was an additional mysterious number for years, in the end of the page "13" was for the titanshiffters lifespan, and also, Mikasa's scene under the tree was exactly 13 years after the first scene under the tree in the manga.
🔸 The cross was also the place of Eren's tomb.
🔅 Major plot point 4 : Eren's death in Trost, a forshadowing of Mikasa moving on , accepting his death but refusing to forget about him.
🔸 Heavy Forshadowing : Mikasa's ova , a forshadowing of Eren's death, that hee is a slave to his fate, can't escape it, and that Mikasa will
Kill him.
• We also need to pay attention to Grisha's convo here with Mikasa, that forshadowed chap 139 in a veeeeeeeery heavy way. This conversation , is Litteraly the summary of Eren's Character, and how his obsession with Freedom drives him to commit the biggest crimes.
• Mikasa couldn't save Eren nor protect him from his rage and his wife thirst of Freedom, Because, simply , he will never give up on it, no matter how precious she was for him. Eren , in any world, would die in his quest searching for a Freedom he will never have
🔆 Major plot point 5 : Chapter 50, Mikasa talks openly about her feelings for the first time , gives determination to Eren ( Who does not understand the nature of her feelings yet) to fight, and he does the scarf promise.
The thing is this adds nothing to the plot, except heavy
Forshadowing.
🔸 moving to a little summary of the evolution of Eren's goals and Character , because it's necessary to make you understand the rest of the thread.
Eren's goals changes once his dreams of the outside world are crushed after the basement reveal, he wants-
The humanity outside the wall wipped out to the finally get his Freedom. He still cared about his friends too because he didn't now yet that they will kill him.
🔸 Major plot point : Eren kissing Historia's hand made him see parts of the future but it was all incoherent-
Eren didn't know yet that this was his future 100%, saw terrible things without being able to Explain it. In that moment, I understood that Eren became a slave to his destiny, a Destiny that Ymir fritz drew for him to free her. But he still didn't realize it yet.
🔸 Chapter 123 Eren breaks down and apologize to Ramzi, he still doesn't know he will be stopped nor that Ymir Fritz needs to be freed , nor that the titan curse needs to end. He just wants Freedom and he made it crystal clear.
🔆 major plot point 6 : Eren and mikasA's convo
In Chapter 123, her answer DOENS'T have anything to do with Eren's plan it wouldn't have changed one single f. Thing. The conversation was just, a Heavy Forshadowing of Eren's feelings and desapear.
🔸 next morning, Eren decides to leave his friends, infiltrate in Marley to find-
Zeke, reach the paths and execute, his plan of the rumbling.
When Eren in was in Marley, you can understand that he thought about his memories and connected the dots , he already understood his friends will stop him but didn't know who.
🔆 Major plot point 7 : Eren's conversation with Zeke to understand the nature of Mikasa's feelings has nothing to do with the curse plot too, it was ratter, a forshadowed about Eren's feelings , that he really cares about Mikasa . That's all, he stikl DOENS'T know about Ymir's-
Goal
🔆 Major plot point 8 : the most important one!!!! ‼️‼️‼️
Eren enters paths in Chapter 119, thanks to Zeke, discovers Ymir and tries to understand her.
We get the scene of the scarf wrapping in ch 121 which forshadows the importance of their bond.
🔆 Major plot point 9 : ⚠️ MUST READ⚠️ how did Eren understand Ymir's goal ?! How did he understand that she lead him here?! How did he convince her?
The explanation: He saw her backstory.
🔸 Chapter 122 title is " From you, 2000 years from now" starts with a parallel to
Eren and Mikasa's kiss in Chapter 138 and eventually Eren's dream in chapter 1.
I reached tweers limits so I will eventually add tweets to this thread
Ymir fritz got the illness of the stockholm syndrom, and "loved" Karl Fritz, was even feeling Jealous when she sees him with his concubines, Isayma even made sure to make them have the same hairstyles in chapter 139.
Stuck in this illness, fake love, Ymir kept obeying in paths, created connections between Eldians but deep down wanted to be free, wanted to witness pure love and an act of love , so she chose Mikasa, because 1. Her love is pure. 2. Her lover needs to have the founder
🔆 Major plot point 10 : After getting her backstory, Eren understands that she wants to break the curse by whistnessing something, he just guessed thank to his dream , that she wanted something from Mikasa. Hee didn't know exactly. He didn't even know Mikasa will kill him.
🔸 An interesting point, Eren tried harf at first ti convince her but she didn't give him anything, what happened is , when Eren mentioned that he was led here by here, that she waited all theese years for someone, Ymir understood, that the moment finally arrived to be free
🔆 Major plot point 11 : Zeke and Armin's conversation in Chapter 137 made Zeke understand that Eren understood what Ymir wants so she went with him, he also guessed that she was attached to the world she left behind. We even see a panel of the couple kissing.
🔆 Major plot point 12 : Mikasa talks With Eren in paths, she doesn't even know why, but she gets the message that he loves her and that he wants her to forget about him. She refuses his wish, behades him and gives him a goodbye kiss, showing an act of love to Ymir
Without even knowing.
So Ymir breaks the curse
🔆 Major and final plot point : Chapter 139, Mikasa understands when Armin tells her that her CHOICE ( It wasn't Eren's orders) , and her sacrifice that broke the curse, achieving one of Eren's goals, ending the era of the titans.
🔆 All of this was forshadowed in Season 2's ending. Ymir's deal with the devil that activates the curse, and how it is broken. We have Mikasa's scarf on every side of the pic, which means that the curse had something to do with Eren and Mikasa's bond
