ben0119 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Mikasa and Armin? Surely that was part of Eren's recollection of this coming into the flashback? That happens sometime in stories.

I'm hoping that was just Eren accidentally intruding into the flashback story as sometimes happens with flashbacks in fiction. If not, it's some sort of timeless memories that can see into the past or future and hopefully not actual time travel. Last thing we need is making all the struggles pointless or undoing them. Still, how much more do we want to introduce this story though?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternate universe WW1 style German Society? Ok it's been done but not bad. Magic leader guy erased everyone's memories with magic? Ok.... getting a little bit silly. Anyone who inherits the Founding Titan inherits the original's lack of will to fight? LOL WHAT? Now Time travel? It's a bit too much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, something other than "super powered teenager single handedly saving humanity" would've been nice. A little more futility, some actual overcoming of odds, rather than resorting to magic.

Daos Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Just named after. "Many decades ago, a nameless, homeless, Eldian girl lived in the streets of Marley as a beggar. Eventually, she was found by a man who gave her the name "Ymir," after the ancient Ymir Fritz and brought her into a cult dedicated to the worship of Ymir. She was worshiped by many Eldians in the cult. Ymir chose to abide by her new role in order to bring happiness to those around her, despite she knew that she did not descend from royalty." 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gina Szanboti Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I don't think it's so much time travel per se, but that all Eldians that ever lived are linked, like in the graphic showing all the rivers of being flowing back to Ymir, or like the Force, and that shared link is usually only active when asleep or when touching. When Eren first woke up the first thing he said was, "Who am I?" because he wasn't dreaming of a past history, he was experiencing it first hand on the astral. So when the Owl mentioned Mikasa and Armin, he was experiencing Eren's thoughts for a moment. This is also why Ymir wrote her letter in blood, so that when Historia touched it, they'd be connected, and why Eren touching Grisha's Titan wife had the same effect. Just my take on it. Fun fact: In Norse mythology, Ymir was the first Jötunn (who were not frost giants (that's a Marvel thing), though most of them were definitely giants). He slept all his life until Odin and his brothers came and killed him and used the pieces of his body to build the earth. Not entirely unlike the Titans in the walls... I kinda feel like the connection among all the Eldians sort of harks back to Yggdrasil, the World Tree that connects the Nine Worlds (or the Nine Titans?). Jotuns for beginners. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there's the whole "to you... in 2000 years" thing. I suspect one of the Titans powers will be the ability to send messages back in time. Why 2000 years? Guess we'll find out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think you are pretty spot on here. Lots of great stuff to think about in this post. My other thought that since it was a dream, the current character having the flashback/dream had their current thoughts come into the flashback for a moment. We've seen this before in other movies, shows, etc. Especially when transitioning back to the current time. I want to say this happened in the Ted Danson Gulliver's Travels? And maybe the original book, too, not sure. But in this case it may be more than that and actually be something fantastical like you described. And yep, Titan Force lol.
