Aurelioking said: As a side note, now that the series revelead the attack's titan power to see future memories what does that say about the universe of the series?

I mean if every attack titan inheritor sees the same future does that mean that the serie's universe is deterministic, meaning that only that future is possible and that actually the entire series events were unavoidable because no one ever truly had the "freedom" to choose?

That would make a great contrast to Eren's desire for freedom (possibly the attack titan's desire for freedom, i think owl described it as always searching for freedom in a flashback). Click to expand... Click to shrink...

Well yes but the key thing here is that Even believes himself to be the final attack titan. He's the one who has been sending carefully selected memories back in time throughout history to influence events. And even then he only has selected influence over the inheretors of the attack titan as opposed to anyone else.So Eren believes himself to be free, as he infers in the last issue.The point is more that no matter what "big picture" justification you have, it is inhuman to use it as a justification to cause harm on anyone. It's about how massive amounts of human suffering and miserey are caused by baseless, impersonal hostility that not even those fighting for it truly believe.It's to showcase how no matter how heroic the sacrifices are, the actual moment of sacrifice is equivilent to horrific nightmare fuel and all of it has been for nothing anyway because the conflict itself was always unecessary.As an example; Looking at Reiner because a poster above seems to interpret it as trying to redeem a "naziboy", the actual point of his character is to hilight how awful and pointless is it to commit to murdering people he loves and feels emotionally attached towards for a cause he doesn't really believe, just because it's what he's been told. He's not going through PTSD and becoming suicidal to make him likable, it's show that it's what doing what he did would do to a person.and how no one should do it.
