Is Eren Yeager Still Alive? Part of His Plan? Attack on Titan |2025|

Anime!

By MORZATPublished about a year ago 3 min read

Alright, let's get into it. If you are anything like me, then the ending of Attack on Titan raised more questions than it had answers. Among them: Is Eren Yeager really dead, or could he still be alive, orchestrating everything from the shadows? And while we're at it, what's all this talk about a new season in 2025? Let's break it all down.

Is Eren Really Dead?

Here's the thing-on the surface, it seems like Eren's death is the last page in his story. Mikasa delivers the final blow, and we see her carrying his head while mourning deeply. It's emotional, raw, and feels like a definitive end. But Attack on Titan has never been about straightforward answers, has it?

Eren is not just some normal character; he holds in himself the power of the Founding Titan, a power that surpasses time and space. Connected by the paths to all the Eldians who have ever lived, his influence spans the past, present, and even future. With a power so cosmic, does his death work the same?

Think about it: Eren’s goal was to create a world where his friends could be free. What if his “death” was just another calculated move to make that happen? He could’ve allowed things to play out in a way that ensured his plan’s success while removing himself from the equation. It’s a theory, sure, but isn’t it the kind of twist we’ve come to expect from this series?

The Kid and the Tree-A Clue?

Well, let's discuss that creepy final scene with the kid and the tree. Can't really escape the symbolism: the tree is the exact replica of the one where Ymir first found the origin of the Titan powers; to me, it's screaming "cycle".

What if Eren is not actually gone but has become one with the paths or even the tree itself? That would mean he is still connected with the world, subtly guiding events from beyond. The kid walking toward the tree could represent the start of a new era, one where Eren's influence is still felt, even if he's not physically present.

It's the kind of ambiguous ending that keeps us guessing-and honestly, isn't that what makes Attack on Titan so compelling?

Is There a New Season in 2025?

Now, onto the big question: Is Attack on Titan returning in 2025? As of now, there's no official word on a new season or sequel. The anime adaptation has faithfully covered the manga, and for all intents and purposes, the story is complete.

But let's not forget how huge this series is. The fanbase is massive, and the demand for more content is real. Whether it's a sequel, a spin-off, or even a prequel diving deeper into Ymir's story, there's plenty of material to explore. And with the way the finale ended, it feels like Isayama left the door open—just a crack—for future possibilities.

Would I love to see more? Absolutely. But at the same time, a part of me thinks the beauty of the story is in its ambiguity. It leaves us to interpret the ending in our own way, which is pretty fitting for a series that's always challenged us to think critically about freedom, sacrifice, and morality.

What Does This All Mean?

At its core, Eren's story is a tale of choices and the consequences that follow. He is alive, yet he has managed to change the world of Attack on Titan irrevocably. He is one of those characters who would go to unimaginable lengths for what he believes in, even if that means becoming the villain of everyone else's story.

If Eren is still alive, it wouldn’t just be a plot twist—it would be a testament to his relentless dedication to his vision. And if he’s truly gone, his legacy will continue to resonate, both in the story and in the hearts of fans.

Final Thoughts

So, is Eren Yeager still alive? Perhaps. Part of some sort of plan? Maybe. And will we see more Attack on Titan in 2025? Only time will tell. What I do know is that this series has left a mark on all of us, and the debates, theories, and speculation are all part of the experience.

What do you think? Might Eren still be out there, pulling the strings? And would you want the story to continue, or is it perfect as it is? For me, I'm just glad we got to be part of this epic journey.
