crack ending theory number #654 that will defanitely happen

SpoilerManga Spoilers

Allright hello everybody today I will state the ending of attack on titan. Daddy Isayama will prove me wrong regardless but might as well post this to get a possible 'I told you so' after next chapter. This theory clears up every single plot hole basically so here goes.

Every single thing that has happened has been a part of Eren and Ymir's joint plan. This whole plan is essentially in order to do one very specific thing at the perfect moment in time in order to successfuly end the entire conflict in one go. Let me explain.

Eren and Ymir want to not only end the titan curse, but to also rumble the world a fair amount. Doing these two things together effectively ends the hatred that eldians experience. If you end the titan power and all eldians remove any other identification methods to display the fact that they are an eldian (like how the Annie's dad squad removed their armbands), there is effectively no way to differentitate between eldians and everyone else (apart from a blood test but the factor that differentiates between eldian blood and other blood could be explained as dissapearing with the power of the titans). Rumbling a large amount of the rest of the world will induce hopefully enough fear and self-reflection within people to see the errors of their ways (like that one dude who made the big speech in chapter 134). With eldians effectively becoming the same as everyone else and the scare of the rumbling, eldians should hopefully blend into society with only a little bit of bloodshed.

Now how does the power of titans get removed? Well it's basically what a lot of people have allready said. Ymir is effectively 'awake' now. Her eyes were litteraly and metaphorically opened by Eren. Paths has proven to be able to just fuckin teleport people into the real world like Zeke in 137, so it should be fair game for Ymir to finally ditch the Path amd teleport herself back into the real world as Historia's child. I'm not gonna pretend I know exactly how the story is going to end, but lets just say that Historia's child (a.k.a Ymir) inheriting the beast titan is somehow required in order to end the titan curse. Maybe Ymir being a titan shifter allows her to enter the Path one last time and turn it off. Historia's child ending up being the beast titan would be pretty ironic as the idea of Historia passing down the beast titan to her children was heavily talked about in the War for Paradis arc. This + Zeke saying in 137 about being re-born again makes this the idea more plausible.

Therefore, if this is Eren and Ymir's plan all along, the most disliked chapters for me personally can be explained pretty damn well. You may have though like me, that the battle in 135, 136 and 137 sucked balls. Atleast 135 and 136 felt like they didn't even need to happen, that they were just stalling. But what if that is litteraly it? The whole battle in 135 and 136 was just one massive stalling match by Eren and Ymir.

As foreshadowed in 133 I believe, Reiner brings up the idea that Eren actually wants to die, he wants to be killed. This same idea was also stated by Reiner in 117. Now you can easily say that this is just Reiner projecting, but it could easily be a hell of a lot more than that. Eren needs to rumble a lot of the world for the points explained above, but not all of it. If the curse of the titans is removed, he doesn't need to destroy the whole rest of the world. He's allready burnt all of his bridges with his friends, so he might as well just die after he has rumbled a fair bit. Therefore, all Eren and Ymir have to do is stall long enough until the conditions are created in which Zeke's death perfectly alligns with Historia's child's birth (or technically any shifters death but Zeke's death makes the most sense because Eren likes his friends more (and I guess Pieck more as well I guess lol)).

This explains Zeke teleporting into the real world and the rumbling stopping after Zeke dies, because as far as Eren and Ymir are concerned, the cat's allready in the bag; Historia's child now has the beast titan, therefore they might as well just stop the rumbling (like I said - Eren doesn't have to rumble everything). 135 and 136 only really being a stalling match perfectly explains the massive plot armour of the alliance - the purpose is to stall the alliance in order to get a shifter (Zeke) to die when Historia's child is born, not to kill them - they are Eren's friends after all. This also explains why the cart titan was held in the air by the warhammer titan for a whole chapter. Every single thing that happens in 135, 136 and 137 can be explained as creating the perfect conditions to kill Zeke at just the right time. (We can assume it all works out nice and well because Ymir can see the future or something probably).

Right thats the theory.
