A lot of what Eren sees is written in his fathers books.

2020-02-02 22:11:24 +0000 UTCIt truly is insane, takes it up to other levels the same way each previous season exponentially expanded the action and the craziness. Season 4 will cement this show as the best of all time, but we still have to see the climax, the end, the resolution, the aftermath. I very painfully had to stop the manga because I wanted to see it all animated and the perfect voice acting and the score and the editing and everything. It's gonna be the most painful waiting of my life.

2020-02-02 10:11:53 +0000 UTCAJ my brother reads the manga, he says season 4 will easily top season 3, I don't even know how that's possible, but everyone's so hyped about it.

2020-02-02 00:22:47 +0000 UTCI've been saving this comment for a *LOOONG* time (No spoilers, I promise!), so here's hoping it doesn't get caught in Patreon's spam filter... So... now for a mindfuckery analysis of the significance of the number 13 (the time someone has left to live after inheriting the power of the 9): * From the narrations in season 1 and the history books shown, around 100 years ago (specifically, 107 years from chapter 2 of the manga), the first ruler of the Walls, King Fritz the 145th created the walls to protect humanity. * When a someone gains a titan power, their remaining lifespan is set to 13 years due to "Ymir's Curse". Same number of years between the royal family's succesion ritual. * "145th king" means there have been 145 wielders of the Founding Titan at that time. 145 x 13 = 1885. So 107 years ago, it has been 1885 years from Ymir Fritz. * At present time (1885 + 107) it would be 1992 years since Ymir Fritz. * Eren got his titan power at age 10, he's supposed to die when he's 23. Currently, Eren is 15 and has around 8 years left to live. * 1992 + 8 = 2000... What was the title of the first episode again? Oh yeah, "To you, in 2000 years." No biggie, nothing to see here. Also, the only time they put a page number on the SnK Tankobon (the Shingeki no Kyojin manga volume, like the book you showed in your S3 Episode 1 reaction) is on page 13 (https://imgur.com/a/T6aWioG) of volume 1 (chapter 1 “To you, 2000 years from now”. You can do some math magic mentioned above) where Eren wakes up from his dream (PATHS?). (The dream is in the beginning of season 1, episode 1 when Eren and Mikasa are collecting firewood, by the way, if you want to rewatch that.) But there’s also another thing: Leap year. In the lunisolar Hebrew calendar, a 13th lunar month is added when applicable. Why is that special? Well in Japanese Kanji, this 13th month is written as 閏月 (leap year is written as 閏年). The significance of this character 閏 is that it’s written by joining two characters 門 and 王. 門 in Japanese means “gate” and 王 means “king”. Together, it’s written as a “king residing within the gate”. Sounds like our favorite 145th King, Fritz. More random thoughts. In addition to today’s Curse of Ymir, the number “13”, usually associated as a rather unfortunate/deathly number, is prominent in AoT/SnK. Makes sense when there’s tons of deaths in the show. * Eren and co are from 104th training corps (divisible by 13) * Year 845 is divisible by 13 * Year 850 is 8+5+0=13 (super stretched I know) * Erwin is the 13th commander of the Survey Corps (lots and lots of deaths there) * Levi is begged by Isabel and Farlan (in the OVA “No Regrets”) to join the expedition on their 13th night together in the Survey Corps. He trusts them and reluctantly agrees. Both of them die tragically. Another random info. One of Linked Horizon’s recent track is called “13 no Fuyu” which roughly translates to “13 winters”. It’s sung by none other than Yui Ishikawa, the VA of Mikasa. “Winter” is kind of important because Mikasa meets Eren for the first time in the winter. Hence the scarf.

2020-02-01 20:39:40 +0000 UTCAj if you missed it in the text, as eren explains kruger's memories to armin he says that the founding titan is linked through time and space, meaning anyone who inherits the attack titan in the future(eren), you can see their memories in the future if that makes sense lol. Basically your able to view the memories of those to come after you.

2020-02-01 20:29:18 +0000 UTCFinally, after nearly three seasons, we get a title drop: Shingeki no Kyojin! (It was the author's choice to name the manga and show Attack on Titan for the English translations.)
