The One Who Died—Was It Really Eren Yeager? Starting a New Plan - Attack on Titan 2025

All right, let's get into this because the Attack on Titan finale still has me questioning everything. If you've watched it-and I know you have-you're probably wondering, too: Was the person who died at the end really Eren Yeager? Or could it all be part of some bigger plan? And what's this talk about a new season in 2025? Let's break it all down, piece by piece.

Did Eren Really Die?

Okay, here's what we know-or at least what we think we know. Mikasa dealt the final blow to Eren in one of the most heartbreaking scenes of the series, raw and emotional, with it really looking pretty final. If there is one thing learned from Attack on Titan, that would be to expect the unexpected.

Eren's entire journey has been one of defying expectation. He is the Founding Titan, which connects him to the paths-a space that transcends time and reality itself. That kind of power does not just disappear; it lingers. And with Eren at the center, is it really that farfetched to think he might have planned this?

Think about it: Eren has always been one step ahead. What if his "death" was part of the grand strategy all along? By removing himself from the equation, he can have the world progress as he wants it to, never being in the position of blame or conflict.

The One Who Died-A Red Herring?

Now, let’s talk about a wild possibility: What if the person who died wasn’t actually Eren? We’ve seen shape-shifting Titans before, and Eren himself has used clever tricks to manipulate situations. Could he have swapped himself out, or created a scenario where his apparent death was just a smokescreen?

While this does sound a little out there, it works well with how Attack on Titan constantly challenges us. Assuming Eren is still alive and operating from the back, the entire perspective of the story changes.

The Kid and the Tree: A New Beginning?

That last scene, with the kid walking up toward the tree? Its implications can't go without notice. The tree looks similar to the one where Ymir found the source of the power of the Titans in the first place. It feels like a hint-a clue that this whole Titan legacy might not actually be over after all.

What if Eren's essence, his influence, or even his consciousness has become part of the tree? Perhaps he is not "alive" in the traditional sense, yet he is still out there, connected to the world in a way only he could be. The kid approaching the tree represents perhaps the start of a new chapter, one that Eren might have had a hand in creating.

Is There a New Season in 2025?

Now, for the elephant in the room: Is Attack on Titan returning in 2025? At this point, no new season or sequel has been announced. The anime fully covered the story of the manga, and the ending seemed like a conclusion, although full of ambiguity.

But here is the thing: The fanbase is large, and the demand for more is quite real. Be it a direct sequel, a spin-off, or even a prequel to tell Ymir's origins, there is plenty that could be done with it in the future. Let's not forget how the series actually ended-with just enough questions unanswered to keep us talking.

Should a new season or spin-off ever see the light of day, it could be about what's next for the world after Eren's supposed death-or show whether he's really gone, for that matter.

Why We Can't Let Go of Eren

Eren Yeager is the most complex character in anime history. Love him or hate him, you can't deny his impact. He's a person who took up unimaginable burdens, making choices that blur the line between hero and villain.

So in the event of Eren really being gone, well, his legacy lives on. But if he were alive, it would only be a twist, an absolute testament to how he had outwitted everybody, including us readers.

Closing Thoughts: So, was it really Eren who died? Or is all this part of his plan? Will there be more Attack on Titan in 2025? Honestly, we don't have a conclusive answer, and it is in that direction-the reason this series is very impressive.

What do you think? Can Eren still be alive? And would you want the story to continue, or is it perfect as it is? Whichever way it goes, one thing is for sure: Attack on Titan has left behind a legacy that will be talked about for years to come.
