Defending Eren
Thoughts after chapter 126
The thing that has been bugging me since chapter 100 hasn’t gone away since, and is still bugging me. It still makes no sense to me for Eren to accept the role of the the devil and take the blame for everything going wrong in the world, unless he has a reason to do so. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think, despite not being given Eren’s POV in years, Isayama did leave us hints to what is driving him:
Tumblr media
He’s seen something in the future that’s all worth it.
However, no matter what he’s planning, this leaves us with the role of the other characters we’re so fond of: The Survey Corps, the Warriors. I feel like chapter 126 is finally giving us a hint of where the story might be going. 
I have been struggling with a couple of fragmented theories in my mind since months, and was unable to connect them or provide enough evidence to make them sound credible, until someone on Reddit came up with this brilliant theory, which provided me with the glue to combine those shards of theories.
It’s still not coherent and might be incomplete since I feel there’s a whole lot of development ahead of us (instead of closure, as would be expected in a story that’s about to end within a year).
Let me start with summing up my incomplete theories:
         Eren does not intend to destroy the entire world.
I say this because everything we’ve seen in this story so far, has told us how Eren is learning that people are basically the same. It’s their history, wars and propaganda that makes them feel different. But his talk with Reiner in chapter 99
Tumblr media
or his meeting with the Middle Eastern people in chapter 123
Tumblr media
showed us he’s very aware that there’s no true difference between Eldians and other races. They’re all people.
All of them were born into this world. 
Tumblr media
 And we all know that means a lot to Eren.
Another thing speaking in favour of this theory is his depressed speech during the ocean scene:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
 Although it’s a rhetorical question, many readers seemed to have interpreted this as one where the answer should be “Yes!” and thus evidence for Eren to want to destroy the entire world.
However, what if the answer is that Eren at this point in the story realises that killing everyone else has no use, and will not set them free? He realises something else has to be done, and by touching Historia and receiving some unexpected memories, he’s been shown what to do and why only he can do it.
While in chapter 123 we are being shown his Eldian Broadcast… 
Tumblr media
…we have to go back to chapter 122 to see what he’s really up to. He doesn’t tell Ymir he wants to destroy THE world, he tells her he wants to destroy THIS world and that, to me, makes all the difference. 
Tumblr media
He means to end this world, where people’s freedom is taken away by wars, racism, greed, and such, either by Eldians (during their 1700-year reign) or Marleyans (currently). He wants to END THIS and that’s why I simply don’t believe he’s going to commit genocide, and let his colossals trample over the entire world, leaving it flattened with only the Paradisians alive.
          Eren will not be stopped  
It simply makes no sense for Eren to be stopped.
First of all; what’s the entire value of this Chekhov’s Gun, basically starting at the Stohess events, when we’re showed the walls are made of colossal titans? What’s the value of the entire timeskip-Eren storyline, if he’s going to be stopped anyway?
Why go through all this trouble to collect Zeke from Liberio, narratively speaking, when the results of all this are to be stopped anyway?
And how, most of all, is stopping Eren going to solve anything? The colossal titans might either stop or keep walking, with no one to control them. There is no reason for world peace to suddenly occur when Eren is stopped. (Indeed, I’m no fan of the Lelouch ending).
Just imagine Eren being stopped. Someone (preferably Mikasa, Reiner or Levi, according to general consensus) kills him. Then what? All those colossals still flattening the earth. Eldians still able to turn into titans. The Attack, Founding and Warhammer titan likely to be reborn in random children among Eldians all over the world. And the rest of the world suddenly praising Paradisians for killing the monster that threatened them all, and leaving the island alone? Will the Eldians suddenly be seen as normal people and no longer discriminated? More importantly: will the cycle of hate end with Eren killed?
While I won’t be surprised (just utterly sad) if Eren doesn’t survive the end of the story, I don’t see any advantages of him dying at this point of the story. “He cannot be stopped” doesn’t necessarily mean “But wait, the other characters in the story will figure something out to stop him anyway”, because it’s useless to stop him – at this point in the story, anyway.
I’ve had these theories in my mind for a while but hesitated to share them here because they were too random, too little backed up with valid arguments, and too generic.
Then, last week, briefly after chapter 126 came out, I read that sharp observation about Hanji on Reddit, and I figured we’re finally shown what the course of the rest of the story might be.
I think – and this is all still very generic, lacks detail and might be busted within a chapter or two – that the goal of chapter 126 was creating the alliance between Marley and Paradis, because Eren has asked these people (or, more specifically, the Survey Corps) to cooperate with him, in order to fulfil his plan. 
Tumblr media
Hanji seems to have received a message from Eren during the night, Levi woke up directly after,
Tumblr media
Jean came to his opinion about what to do during the night,
Tumblr media
 we saw Mikasa suddenly startled awake during the night.
Tumblr media
(Why else did she suddenly want her scarf back? If not from sudden regained trust in Eren again?)
The man behind the window
Tumblr media
is most likely Keith Shadis (what’s in a name), who is also informed of the plan, he’s is likely to have had contact with Jean overnight (look at the shadow on the ground and in the window behind Jean on the image above).
Unless it’s a continuity mistake from Isayama, it’s plausible that Eren sent the members of the Survey Corps a different message.
 Why then send the rest of the Eldians the other message, about destroying the world? The scene with Mr. Leonhard in chapter 125 showed us why: rebellion among the ghettoed Eldians.
He needs chaos in order to fulfil his plan.
What that plan exactly is, is still unclear but I feel I sort of know where it’s going. A huge threat to the world (the colossals), Eldians rising up everywhere, and Marley left with no choice but to take the Eldians (including Paradisians) serious as people. This display of power, of course, is far from the best way to achieve world peace, though, and this is where I think Armin comes in. Armin, who, according to Eren  is going to be the one who saves the world.
Tumblr media
Armin, our pacifist, who keeps insisting “negotiating” is the best way to achieve peace.
I think Eren is currently placing the pieces on the chessboard so, that Armin can negotiate his way to peace.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And why shouldn’t he succeed? It’s happened before, this miracle.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Only after achieving peace (I believe the threat of the colossal should remain until Armin has achieved this goal) I expect Eren/the Founding Titan to change the structure of the bodies of the subjects of Ymir, so that they cannot become titans anymore (and maybe even turn all the existing titans back into humans) finally putting an end to 2000 years of Titan rule. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He might die in the process, since he seems to be fused with his dinosaur, but this is mere speculation.
Tumblr media
I don’t expect Eren to live to the end of the story, but I do think the baby we see on the final panel, is the Paths-girl Ymir reborn in a free world.

So with Mikasa being pulled into the Paths dimension, that confirms the Ackerman clan is indeed of Eldian descent. Which means Levi will probably be pulled into the paths dimension too and have his injuries healed by Ymir.
