Attack on Titan has begun setting the stage for Eren Yeager‘s true goal with the newest episode of the series! The first half of the anime’s fourth and final season revealed an Eren who had changed dramatically since the end of the third season, and revealed even more dramatic changes as he began to work with Zeke on a plan meant to use the Founding Titan power to make sure that the Eldians could no longer have children. But these changes had fans questioning whether or not Eren was truly aiming for such a vicious and inhumane goal for the future.
The newest episode saw Eren and Zeke reuniting for the first time since all of the chaos started breaking out between Eldia, Marley, and the Yeagerist forces, and through their connection both of them end up within the Paths of the Founding Titan’s power. Things take a turn for the more surprising as Zeke tries to unite with Eren and get him to use the power for their plan, but Eren surprisingly refuses to do so and teases that he has something different and potentially bigger or better in mind for that power instead.
Episode 78 of Attack on Titan sees Eren and Zeke reunite in the Paths, and Eren sees Zeke wrapped in chains. It’s here that Eren believes that Zeke is being tied down due to the vow against war and violence the Founding Titan power seemed to be under, and with that confidence Eren reveals that he has no intention of following through on Zeke’s euthanization plan. He even goes as far as saying there’s no way in hell he’d do something like that, and was just using Zeke as a way to get to the paths.
Eren then tries to use the Founding Titan’s power for himself, but before he gets to do so and reveal what his true plan is, Zeke then reveals he had tricked Eren and that he wasn’t bound by the founder’s power anymore. The chains disappear and through his long time in the paths he was able to remove all the limits on violence that were there before. He was only testing Eren’s resolve, and it seems now it’s his mission to get Eren to agree to their plan.
But what do you think? Curious to see what Eren really wants to do with the Founding Titan’s power? How are you liking the final season so far? What are you hoping to see before it comes to an end?
