[@ryanneese7094]

If you notice when he sings more softly it’s in the perspective of Erens’ true feelings and the screaming is what he’s is presenting to everyone else

[@luceafarul5740]

I would argue for the opposite. Well, not exact the oppsite but something else. You can take the clean vocals as what he tells himself so he can keep going. The "i swear" scream is to solidify the statement. For example: "all i ever wanted to do was do right things, i never wanted to be the king". We know that this is not true, he stated many times that he will do anything to achieve his freedom, he's never been someone to consider the betterment of humanity as a priority. "all i ever wanted to do was save your life, i never wanted to grab the knife". This is also not true. He doesn't want to have a peaceful life. When he was a kid he said that he wants something to happen. He says that he wants to join the survey corps etc. He never shied away from getting violent. You might even say that he's desire is to fight for his freedom, not to achieve it

@@luceafarul5740 I don't think so! Eren wanted to live a peaceful life with Mikasa and his friends. He deeply cares about them. But deep inside he knows he must keep moving forward. That's why he never actually broke the cycle he just moved down it

[@mug281]

@@luceafarul5740 you would’ve been right, if we didn’t find out that erens existence was planned from the very beginning. Our introduction to Eren shows him having a vision of the future. His life has been guided already. Without the visions, Eren would probably be a much sweeter person. But how would he have saved Mikasa if he was a sweet kid? Idk if we’ve seen his true self until the very end.

[@kyle_hill_864]

I think the most impressive thing about this song is the detail in the storytelling. The lyrics can be taken without the knowledge of the Attack Titan’s ability, and be seen simply as Eren looking at his past, and the choices he was forced to make, as well as his feelings now towards himself in what he’s doing and is going to do. But it can also be seen as him looking at what he literally forced himself to do by using the Attack Titan’s power, giving his past self glimpses of the future to give him ‘to grab a knife.’ And saying he can’t afford to die on his mission for freedom, ‘live to die another day. But that can also be taken as him knowing he may well die as a result of causing The Rumbling, but that’s the fate he’s chosen. I think it’s very clever as it can be understood without the latter context, but is just enhanced more with it

[@KnoxHill]

Well thought out. Love this insight 👏👏👏

[@wrestling1013]

It can also be taken when he said “I never wanted to be the king.” As everyone looking on him to make the decision to save paradis. It’s crazy like you said the storytelling in every word in this song plays into the story of Attack on Titan.

[@evangelionl0vr857]

@@wrestling1013 yeah, I have analyzed the manga a lot and I think Erens decision to start the rumbling was because of ho selfish desire for freedom and disdain that the outside world wasn’t what he imagined it to be, so he pushes his friends away because he knows that they would never agree with the path he’s chosen.

[@KaneyoriHK]

Eren is a reactive character, as much as he tried to be the active character, as much as he tried to be better, the world forced him to put aside everything, forcing his hand to make more and more difficult decisions, but once he has the power, the ability to be active, the one that forces the world to react, it's far too late, he's gone too far, he can no longer make a choice, other than the choice to die. He's no longer able to be who he wanted to be. He became his own wall, of which time had no control over, he was doomed from the start.

[@maxpash6133]

I see it more of Eren trying to justify himself. If we really look deep into his character, we know he wanted to start the Rumbling because of wanting to obtain his ideal view of freedom. The song is from his perspective, and when he says "I swear" it's like him trying to ignore that overall it's what he wanted to do.

[@802Garage]

The fact you know the series and also understand how to analyze the story elements and symbolism makes this one of the best reaction series. Great work!

10:00 is such an underrated line. I saw someone saying this could be Hajime Isayama speaking. Him making a new ending(which he replaced with ending he was planning for about a decade) just for the audience and then the audience not liking it. Alternatively this could also be eren just voicing his own thoughts/doubts which is in contrast to the ending of the final season part 2 where he says it doesn't matter whether he's correct or not, he'll keep believing in what he's doing. SiM did an amazing job at this ending from all perspectives.

[@user-sn1hi7my7x]

Never noticed that. Good Catch! Side Note: I heard he had to rewrite his ending multiple times thanks to his editor constantly making changes in the earlier chapters seeing as how Isayama wrote his story backwards to try and avoid any holes in the story. Most famous edit being the Sasha's Death.

[@dubhbubonem6561]

This is a common misconception. Isayama did not make a new ending. The ending he had planned he has said was the one that had Eren, Mikasa and Armin's arcs in mind. He had that planned since Day One. What he did do however, was consider a Mist type ending. Which he ultimately decided against. That's not to say you HAVE to like what hw writes. I just think implying he didn't write what he wanted, even though he has said this is the case, is a little shitty.

To me, the constant shift from aggressive tones to calm tones is a direct reference to Eren's mental state throught the fourth season, because if you pay attention he only demonstrate two emtional expressions, them being Rage and Despair. The aggressive tones represent the fog of rage that he feels most of the time, and the calm tones represent the despair the he feels when that fog clears and he's hit with the weigth of what he feels he has to do.

The violin melodies originally come from the series it self the first half of the violin melodies is the opening of the 1st theme ‘guren no yumiya’ and the second half of the melody is from the opening of the 2nd theme ‘jiyuu no taubasa’, so yeah it’s a clever mix of the first two opening melodies

[@LordOmnipraetor]

05:00 Eren takes action to protect his friends. While others have morality keeping them from going "too far", Eren ensures that their enemies go down so that his friends are never threatened again. Him stabbing those pedo-human traffickers was him going Punisher style on their asses and handing out ultimate judgement so they never can escape prison and get to Mikasa again. Same goes for the Rumbling. He knew that the outside world would always see Paradis as devils and plan attacks against them in the future. So he chose the ultimate action to prevent that from happening and gain freedom.

[@manahajian]

I wrote it as a cm and then saw your cm so i put it here since i was talking to fans who have the same pov as you 😅 Sorry it's too long , it's fine if you don't want to bother reading it 🙏 The lyric is clearly from Eren's POV and we all know it BUT those lines " doing the right thing , never wanting to be the king , never wanting to grab a knife , it was only to save your life " are LITERALLY just Eren's excuses in his conscious trying to justify his actions by denying what he actually wanted from the beginning and his motives for doing so :) He NEVER wanted a peaceful life where he didn't had to grab a knife ! Remember the first episode , the scene he was laying down under a tree looking at peaceful sky ( life ) he had and he was thinking by himself sth like " this is boring , i wish sth huge would happen ! " Him looking for sth that considered " Exciting " in his POV was why he wanted to join the Erwin's squad or military forces in the first place , to run from that boring peaceful life so the titans and saving ppl were only mere excuses ! When he got mad at Hanse ? Well most of us used to think he was actually frustrated by seeing soldiers not being ready for protecting the civilians but if you just go deeper a little bit at the details you can notice he was only mad that nothing was happening and they could chill ... Also the scene when he attacks Misaka's kidnappers you can't say " he had no other choice and it was to protect Mikasa " since he did have other choices like waiting for his dad ( They weren't running away like in a few mins ) Ok even if we put that aside and say it was his only option for saving Mikasa , we can't deny the fact how excited and powerful he felt after taking down those guys by having that look on his face as if he couldn't enjoy it more ! Even blind ppl could see his hunger for power even before the main incident So ... even if the titans didn't break through the walls or Mikasa's incident didn't take place , it's quiet obvious that he would have still grabbed the knife ( it's a metaphor ) by finding another excuse to do so ... Just my POV tho 💙🍀

[@desireable_pro8780]

One “foreshadowing” I love about AOT and revealing the Attack Titan’s true power is that Eren revealed he can “go into the past” or memories and have an impact on previous Attack Titan wielders. But we’ve never seen anyone go back to Eren and try to change what happened, meaning either it was a foreshadowing of what will happen to Eren, or for people who don’t know, the clear cut answer would be that the future Attack Titan wielders agree with what Eren did. I mean, if he did succeed completely, then it would be going to someone on Paradis, someone Eren saved. If that’s how they view it then there’d be no point in going back. There’s a way to take this power into two different reasonable contexts and it leaves a lot of space for theories on which way the story would end - will Eren die, or succeed completely? Ofc we know how it ends, but prior to the end, or if you don’t know the end, then you’ll definitely enjoy this

[@frazy4487]

i mean i’d put this genre as metalcore tbh, so i’d say this gives me ADTR vibes, like down to the screams, you should check them out

[@SERGEANTTOMATO]

Earliest I've ever been. Looking forward to Knox singing along.

[@foolininlove]

bro this is the best fckin detail reaction i've ever watch.keep it up broo

[@chalupacabra69_420]

You need to react to the outro video/song from this season. The lyrics with the visuals are absolutely beautiful and destroying if you know how everything ends.

[@soobeanie04]

omg i’m so glad he’s reacting to this yay

[@amiiboacid4785]

You should listen to opening 6 "My War" full version, expecially a version with lyrics since it's in part Japanese

[@aspy130]

First person I’ve heard actually mention the knife reference. Thank you lmao

7:19 Grieg-In the hall of the Mountain King

[@strayexk7157]

i’ve never watched this guy and i love the song his reaction to it and his explanation on his thoughts of the lyrics made me think about it more and i love it AND his content :)

[@shrezii843]

The screaming metal fits so well in aot with the rage the characters feel and the rage we feel. It truly encapsulates the hopelessness of their situation but it also shows how instead of just accepting their fate they’d rather scream out in defiance. I really like this song and it fits with the series so well!

[@akanetachibana649]

ever since the full version released, ive been listening to it like 5 hrs a day? without interval between u-u

[@omer7895]

In many ways, Eren hasn’t changed much at all. He seemed to easily vilify people who got in the way of his goals. Like for the kidnappers, he says that they are monsters disguised as humans. If we take his original goal of liberating the island and consider that everyone on the outside world is in the way of it, it’s really the same story, isn’t it? Those people are just monsters disguised as humans to Eren, or basically glorified titans. Whether or not you think Eren is the villain is related to your belief about the ends justifying the means

[@divyaprakashjain3688]

This song is now on #1 at billboard hard rock chart❤❤

[@goldenqueen836]

In my personal opinion Eren is an anti-hero he has proven time and time again that he is willing to do whatever it takes to keep his family safe. His mom's death messed him up, his father's hurt, seeing his friends die hurt, as well as seeing the reiss family die hurt. I think what really solidified my opinion on Eren is when Ymir herself basically said kill them all. You have to remember all the pain and suffering she went through. Many people within Marley and the island could have stopped the bloodshed, but they didn't. In result these kids including Eren is a product of their environment. If the Founding Titan Ymir herself decides to kill 80% of humanity you know there is a problem. Ymir was used and abused for so long and no one helped her until Eren came along. 2,000 plus years of suffering for her came to an end when Eren came and granted her freedom. I don't condone violence whatsoever, but I can see why he did it. Also the entire world was against this tiny island full of people who thought they were the last humans alive.

Also eren never attacked marley before the declaration of war in the previous part of the last season

[@kurasakikenji]

SiM also did another anime opening song for Shingeki no Bahamuth (Rage of Bahamuth)

[@brynlyn1243]

i don’t see anybody saying this but even the subtitles on the video was really beautiful to look at

[@tinesess3521]

Loving all the anime reactions... I love this song! Also....patiently waiting for the conclusion of the Dema trilogy ❤

[@VoletteVonWalund]

"All I ever wanted to do was save your life I never wanted to grab a knife" this can be a reference not just to the cene were Eren saves Mikasa, but to Grisha killin' the royal family as well. 'Cause Eren did not hesitate to kill, while his father did.
