MAJOR ATTACK ON TITAN ANIME + MANGA SPOILERS

freedom:

in light of the last chapter of attack on titan coming on april 9th, i wanted to talk about the constant reoccurring theme of the story.

due to the vast amount of people, perspectives and interpretations vary. freedom is something everyone wants but have differing definitions of. when you first think of that word you may think of eren’s true love, the opportunity to express yourself, to become whatever you want to be, and etc. attack on titan displays the various ideas of freedom.

admittedly, i could be wrong because my interpretation of these characters may be different from others.

eren yeager. FREEDOM !!! YEAAA !! but to him, what is freedom? at the start of the story, freedom is living with nothing holding you back, not living in fear of titans. but the existence of titans means never going beyond the walls, lions constantly peering over mice. but his idea of freedom changes after the kiss of true love.

a new understanding is gained. he is blinded by revenge. but is it his revenge or is it someone else’s? ymir, the slave to the king and now a slave to her own misfortune. driven by anger and vengeance of the world. why did she have to be ostracized? why did it have to be her? revenge is freedom in her mind.

carla yeager, a woman who believes that people are born special and not made special. she finds that freedom is being who you are. she doesn’t seek something to make her special. when grisha and sadis talk about the “special” people in the scout regiment, carla scoffs. she portrays a mundane view of freedom.

erwin smith, a man who seeks the truth. what is freedom to him? avenging his father? atoning to the deaths he lead many to? no. it’s to find out the realities of the world that was stripped from the people of the island. although he never fulfills his idea of freedom, he was able to rest. even if he had all of this need to understand, he accepts what he knows. is that freedom? is acceptance freedom? i don’t know myself.

throughout the time when eren had the founding titan, ymir sees eren. ymir understands eren. i believe this story is to depict empathy, not mere sympathy. whether you agree with how eren or ymir or carla or any other character’s viewpoint on freedom, isayama wants you to understand. omg count how many times i’ve used that word.

each character experiences different things, each character responds to things differently, and each character can be seen as human. the variations of people are depicted throughout characters of attack on titan.

the supposedly “last panel” in the first picture above, is a man holding a child saying “you are free”. there are lots of theories on who these people are, but the most interesting aspect, to me, is how that child is free.

in the end, what is freedom? what is it to you?

MAJOR JUJUTSU KAISEN CHAPTER 145 SPOILERS

since the new jujutsu kaisen chapter was an information dump, there are lots of loose theories that is possible but do not have enough evidence to be plausible.

but something that stuck out to me is the fact that gojou is responsible for getting rid of the only two things that could get him out of the prison realm.

i don't think gojou had foreseen him getting captured by the prison realm, but tengen mention "destinies" and i was wondering if that is an important aspect of the story in the future.

is it possible that gojou intended to stay there because it always bothered me that gojou was so relaxed after being captured? even though he possesses six eyes, shouldn't he still be a little concerned for the well-being of those who he is protecting, and if not, concerned for his students?

also, the angel, kurusu hana. i wonder how she is going to be relevant to further the plot of the story.

i saw some theories that tengen is working with kenjaku because of his power and their similarities, but i don't think that would work because what would it add to the story?

oh hey tengen the powerful guy. oh ahahah no! plot twist! he's actually working with kenjaku! and now you're all fucked!

how would that theory progress the plot? but i acknowledge that these are empty theories that could end up being true because we don't have enough information about it.

anyway, how do you feel about this chapter and how do you think it'll progress?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!!!

i am well aware that many people dislike her because they lack critical thinking skills, analytical skills, and common sense

buttttttt i genuinely love her. someone who was able to break free from the cycle of hate. she came to understand multiple perspectives and interpretations, something she disregarded prior to her arriving at the island.

gabi is a character with a great character arc.

(people who constantly shit on her, anti-gabis, seriously need to put themselves in her point-of-view and understand the purpose of her character)

anyway, happy birthday gabi! ♡

MAJOR JJK MANGA SPOILERS !!!

mahito:

hatred is instinctive the moment you think of a character like mahito. someone who murders recklessly, including a loved and an incongruous character like junpei. but what if there’s more?

mahito is a special grade cursed spirit that was born from human transgression. hatred towards one another and yet is immature and frankly, new. dispute between humans has been going on for centuries and only now is he alive. unlike him, jogou, hanami, dagon, and etc are all, seemingly, mature. they seem to have been in existence for a while now. representing the fear of nature, they are powerful due to many dreading those aspects of the world.

so why did mahito only recently come into existence? i don’t think that’ll ever be concluded because he's dead. AHAHAH ! but that leads me to question humanity.

do we fear expressing our hate towards others so much that we repress it, ultimately leading to the representation of our resentment, mahito, to be nebulous? nebulous of how to express this hatred causing sadistic death?

I didn't edit this soooooooo it might not really 100% make sense butttttt you get what i mean... right?!

MAJOR ATTACK ON TITAN ANIME + MANGA SPOILERS

floch:

hatred, disgust, maybe even abhorrence are most of the reactions to floch forster’s character. and that is understandable. people hate floch because he wanted erwin to live, described erwin as a devil, and dissed armin. people hate floch because he didn’t understand what the scouts went through prior to him joining them. people hate floch because he is a yeagerist. people hate floch because he was the cause of hange’s death. and there is much more.

something i believe people don’t realize is that floch is a representation of the audience/reader.

rationally speaking, saving erwin is the obvious choice (at first), but throughout the series, armin’s character had been developed in front of our eyes. erwin is an established character, hence why people are more attached to armin.

after witnessing all of the deaths derived from erwin’s lead, floch grew to despise him, but he understands that erwin is the only person capable to lead.

bias. that is what a lot of attack on titan fans are. and what angers me is that they don’t notice that they are biased.

many proudly claimed that they are yeagerists and are for eren. they say that after three seasons of supporting eren, how are they supposed to hate him now? dude they’re literally floch kinnies.

from that reaction alone, floch embodies the general audience. at first they agree that erwin should be the one to live, then they are in support of eren despite him continuing the cycle of hate. honestly, people are so stupid.

floch provides an opposing view. and i admire him because he strongly believes that it serves a good purpose. he truly believes that working with eren and following his ideals will benefit the world. maybe he is right. but either way, i don’t agree.

even so, i think floch’s position in the story is highly important. without him, we wouldn’t be able to understand the opposing side, whether we agree with them or not.

floch’s character offers a different perspective. people are in support of the main characters because the story is following them. like gabi. people quickly hated on her but disregard the propaganda that has been shoved in her face since she is a child. we’re told that brushing our teeth twice a day is healthy, but then all of a sudden it is not. wouldn’t that confuse you because you’ve been told that brushing your teeth twice a day is healthy?

being open-minded will always be better than being stubborn. trying to understand floch’s point of view is understanding why the majority of the attack on titan fandom his terrible comprehension skills.

so why do people who agree with floch, hate him? they see a reflection of themselves and disapprove of it, but they don’t want to admit it to themselves that they are just as blind as floch forster.

sorry for dissing the fandom. AHAHA ! i just get really annoyed with like 75% of the fandom because they don’t understand the significance of a character, scene, or other aspects of the series. there is always a purpose for each character and moment.

i don’t love floch but i don't hate him. although i do think his character is vital to the story.
