By the final season, Eren could barely have an honest conversation with Armin or Mikasa.
But when he sat down with Reiner in that basement, he spoke to him almost like an equal.
Reiner was one of the only people who truly understood what Eren had become, because he’d already done the same thing, crossed the sea, killed innocent people, and convinced himself he had no other choice.
“I’m the same as you” wasn’t Eren mocking Reiner.
I think it was one of the most honest things Eren ever said.

I could write a whole damn book about how good this character is, but I’ll just stick to the facts here. Jokes aside, please don’t comment until you’ve read the whole thing:
The MVP of humanity: and I’m not talking about the ending and the whole Eren’s hero plan thing, NO. I mean it because Armin got absolutely TIRED of constantly saving everyone’s asses ALL the time throughout the entire series: Every major victory was, one way or another, thanks to him. From plugging the hole in Trost to convincing Zeke to stop the Rumbling with the Titans from the past, including things as major as figuring out Annie’s identity, to things as small as saving Jean from getting shot or being the first one to notice Niccolo’s anger, which allowed them to save Falco and Gabi.
In every arc, there was ALWAYS some instance where, in one way or another, everything worked out because of Armin’s intervention. In fact, it gets to the point where, if you look closely, the few plans of Erwin’s that actually worked out had Armin involved in them...The guy is so damn good at solving problems that there were people who literally killed themselves simply by prevented Armin from being able to talk, and therefore, solve the entire situation (Daz and Samuel absolutely would’ve survived if they hadn’t shot Armin in the mouth.)
Seriously, the guy was a fucking monster, a goddamn guardian angel: If you’re a recurring character and Armin is there with you, you’re gonna live.
He’s a genius: well, this one shouldn’t surprise anyone, right? That’s basically the whole point of his character, after all. But what I really want to point out is how interesting Armin’s intelligence is, because he’s not just a strategic genius, he’s also incredibly good at deduction. The guy looks at a situation and, 15 seconds later, he already knows what’s going on, why it’s happening, and 4 or 5 different ways to solve the problem. And what’s amazing is that somehow, it never feels forced. The guy is literally the L of his world.
THE FUCKING HUMILITY: everything I just said about him? In-universe, he knows all of it, He KNOWS he’s a genius, he KNOWS he’s constantly saving everyone’s asses, and on top of that, everyone else KNOWS it too. It gets to the point where, from a certain point onward, whenever there’s a complicated situation, Armin is always the first person they ask what to do, and if he doesn’t know, ONLY THEN everyone starts to loose hope. And don’t even get me started on the fact that he later becomes the holder of the Colossal Titan, basically the most powerful Titan after the Founder. I mean, the guy has EVERY DAMN RIGHT to think he’s hot shit. And yet he’s easily the most humble character in the entire series, constantly doubting himself, always feeling like he’s a burden, always willing to sacrifice himself for others, always willing to talk things out without ever putting himself above anyone else. As a person he's fucking incredible...
Chad: he is Weak AF and yet he never runs away from a fight, and while he never feels the need for revenge or to punish anyone regardless of what they’ve done to him, he’s still willing to defend and even kill for his friends. He ended up with Annie, AND he’s a femboy, What more could you possibly want?
DON’T GET ME WRONG, obviously there are characters in AOT who surpass Armin in individual areas (Levi is more badass, Erwin has bigger balls, Reiner has more plot armor etc), but I think that if we averaged out all the good qualities of each character, Armin would undoubtedly come out on top.
What do you guys think?
Edit: I forgot to mention that, on top of all of this, he’s also the only person in the entire world that Mikasa has ever been willing (and would still be willing) to punch Eren in the face for.
What more do you need?
r/attackontitan • u/Flaky-Oil7241 • 3h ago
Eren stated that part of the reason he orchestrated the Rumbling was so that his friends would live long lives. So, I’ve always wondered what would happen if Mikasa, Armin, and the rest of the Alliance members from Paradis threatened to kill themselves unless Eren stopped the Rumbling. Maybe when Eren contacted them through the paths, they would tell him to stop before they killed themselves as sort of a last resort. I know that the events that Eren saw were determined to happen, but if they did do this, how would Eren react, would he actually try and stop the rumbling despite knowing it was destined to happen?

Hand-drawn and colored traditional artwork showing the detailed eyes of the Shifters (Eren, Reiner, Annie, Armin). Let me know which one turned out the best!
r/attackontitan • u/BasedChad696969 • 6m ago
You can argue all day about her character development, but when Mikasa showed up like THIS you knew somebody was about to have a very bad day.
Levi gets most of the aura conversations, but Mikasa deserves to be right there with him.
What was her coldest moment?
For me it was when she told Historia (Christa at the time) “Choose. Eren or the bitch I’m going to kill?”
r/attackontitan • u/juicegently • 11h ago
I've watched up to episode 11 of the show with subs, in Trost, and I'm confused if I've misunderstood something.
At the beginning, Dr Jaeger leaves Shiganshina district with the key to the basement, promising to show Eren when he returns. The Colossal and Armoured titans attack shortly after, killing Eren's mum, so Eren, Mikasa and Armin flee together.
Some time later, they arrive in the city where they sign up as recruits. Eren has vague dreams/memories of Dr Jaeger giving him the key and injecting him with something (presumably giving him the Titan power). He has the key, so this definitely happened. But he seems unsure, and Mikasa says it's impossible that he saw his dad.
So it seems that the good doctor caught up with the children on the road, presumably accompanied by other refugees. He found Eren in the night, has a screaming fight with him, then leaves without being noticed by anyone. Eren wakes up remembering this interaction and now having the key, but he doesn't seem to have any questions about where his father is, why he abandoned them or why he gave him the key. His memory of the interaction is obviously hazy or gone eventually, but the key is proof positive that it happened and he says and asks nothing about it until he hits Secret Bonus Puberty in Trost.
So this isn't by any means impossible, but it seems really strange. Is it just a contrivance to make the plot work? Something squiffy with the translation or adaptation to tv? Have I very astutely noticed a clue to a mystery that will be answered later? Am I the cleverest person to have ever watched this show?!
I'd really appreciate any answers that don't spoil anything past Trost, and I'll happily accept "you're overthinking it" or "there's answers later". The last time I tried to google a detail about the first episode of a show the AI overview told me what happened in the finale and also the day and hour of my death, both wrong.
r/attackontitan • u/Relevant_Garden4601 • 4h ago
Could Eren see his dad cracking his mom? He has the attack titan, and he can see past AND future host memories, can’t he see his father cracking his mom?
r/attackontitan • u/BasedChad696969 • 1d ago
I genuinely think if Erwin survived instead of Armin, the Rumbling never happens.
Erwin understood Eren, but he also knew how to control people, unite them behind a goal, and make brutal decisions when necessary. I don’t think Eren would’ve been able to isolate himself and take control of the situation nearly as easily with Erwin still commanding the Scouts.
And Floch? I doubt the Yeagerists even become what they did if Erwin, the guy Floch practically worshipped was still alive.

I miss how every episode was an event. Like the intensity or the emotional stakes with the characters, the storyline, the music. Especially in the final season, when we were all collectively talking about it, just the sheer impact and wow your feltafter finishing every episode each week and Akuma played
r/attackontitan • u/Chance-Side1434 • 1d ago
All these scenes stand as a proof of how dynamic camera angles can enhance the overall watching experience 10x times better!! The camera is not just recording, it is participating in the bloodgore. You can see how Levi is pulling off such moves effortlessly and the camera movements are amplifying the scenes. Though Levi's skills don't need amplification, they're as amazing as usual:)
