You're not a slave, you're not a god either, you're just a person, crazy how Eren was the first and only human to ever give Ymir a choice

I admire Eren's voice actor so much, every time I watch that scene of Eren ripping his hands apart to catch up to Ymir gives me the chills

Peak after peak , 3 episodes of pure perfection, eren voice actor as always did a magnificent job, everything about this episode was perfect

Just want to point out Ymir had been slaving for two millennia Earth time. But in the paths.... Jesus that must have been several eternities.

Frieda: "you should live a life that everyone love you" Ymir (season 2): "you should live a life that you can proud of"

"Once Ymir has begun to move, No power in this world can stop her..."

A couple of things to note 1. 13 people pointed at Ymir and the camera shifts to look like a tree (13 years to live) 2. There were 9 petals on the flower Ymir fell in front of before falling in the hole (9 titans) 3. The feathers for the arrows that Ymir were shot with, are the same as the “wings of freedom” on the scouts backs 4. The creature is a hallucigenia, which is one of the first multi cell organisms that came out of something called the basin of life. 5. Ymir was born 2000 years ago, making her a version of our Jesus. 1920 years later the great titan war happens and Marley takes control, 80 years after that episode 1 begins, 2000 years after ymir. EDIT: corrected 1&2

Every Titan that has ever come to existence, every nick and scratch ever healed by a Titan shifter, were all results of Ymir quietly forming everything from sand as she wandered inside the coordinate. Time in the coordinate is both instant and infinite. For Ymir who’s been slaving away for 2,000 years, it must have felt like an eternity. Remember that the walls were composed of MILLIONS of colossal titans and Ymir was forced to build every single one of them with her own two hands. Ymir didn’t just die from the spear because she technically could have healed herself as a Titan shifter. But like Falcon once mentioned, the ability Titan shifters have is only possible if they themselves still have the will to live. Ymir chose to let herself go out of despair and misery having realized that no matter what she does, Fritz would never see her as anything more than a slave. Stockholm syndrome is exactly what it was. A couple more callbacks in this episode: 5:24 - another Ymir once experienced this exact sort of betrayal. Every finger unfairly pointing at her, turning her into a scapegoat. And just like this Ymir, she willingly took the unfair blame in the hopes of receiving love/purpose in return for her ‘kindness’. 5:38 - remember what Major Gross said when he kicked Grice off the wall to use him as bait? “Very well. You are free.”

The King Fritz in this episode and the King Fritz who made the vow renouncing war are not the same guy -- almost 1900 years separate them. "Fritz" is a name passed down from generation to generation (maybe it was the family surname, or maybe just a popular first name in the family), until the royal family in the walls and decided to hide by changing their name to Reiss and putting a fake Fritz on the throne. The first Fritz was obviously a bloodthirsty conqueror, but the Fritz of 1900 years later ("The King of the Walls") was ashamed of this history, made the vow to renounce war, and retreated to the island to await their eventual doom.

The soundtrack is so underrated on this episode, its makes so much for it.

Not just the collossals but every titan including each shifters form everytime they transform, she built them all.

It's important to remember that Ymir, had her tongue cut out. Eren, gave Ymir, a voice.

When they show Ymir getting betrayed and her disbelief in the circle gets me everytime, because you know that shit actually happened at some point

Also something cool- if you look at the coordinate pillar when Yimir died - it branches out into the sky in threes to represent her daughters- the first decendants. As Yimir continues to live on in the coordinate zone, more branches are added representing a continuation of decentants, and how much time had passed. She's been stuck there making titans for a LONG TIME.

I loved this episode. I believe it’s arguably the best of the entire series due the fact that neither Marlyan or Eldian history was entirely correct. It goes to show that when a long time passes, like a game of telephone, reality/history becomes twisted through agenda and belief. I could go on and on but I think Isayama nailed this point in such a beautiful and gruesome way.

Notice the title of this episode and that of the first episode of the Anime. "To You, in 2000 Years" and "From You, 2000 Years Ago" The foreshadowing in this show is crazy!

This episode is MASTERPIECE 10/10 imdb deserved

Most anime when the main character gets a new power: *upbeat and cheerful music* AOT:

That ost that kicks in when Eren transforms into the founding and starts the rumbling is pure epic perfection. Footsteps of Doom being the name of the track.

Lol, this entire reaction gave me goosebumps. Loving the 😮s. Fantastic reaction guys!

Ymir couldve lived longer but Ymir chose to die. She no longer had the will to live. Thus resulting in the “titan curse”. 13 years once you become one if the 9 titans.

The look on your guys faces. Mind blown. 🔥🔥❤️ I love your guys reaction.

I really like the contrast between Eren telling Ymir that she is free and Zeke ordering her to obey him as a royal blood. Sadly many people overlook Eren's good points and motivations because of what he is about to do. Does the way justify the means?

I've been so excited for this episode for a while and your reaction did not disappoint. Loved the hype for Ymir's backstory and Eren's transofrmation

this is copied from another video (: I've been preparing this comment for quite some time to explain what happened here. Trust me, this is worth reading and ofc, without spoilers (also, there will not be any other explanation in the following episodes up until the end so...). Two thousand years ago, the titans were born from the powers of Ymir and in the previous episode, Zeke told us that she is a slave of the royal family for unknown reasons (at least for now). In this episode, Grisha tells us that the attack titan was created to fight the king's self-righteousness and that Frieda (the royal family) was unaware of it. In other words, Ymir would have created the attack titan behind the back of the royal family. We know that each primordial can see the memories of its predecessors (Porco seeing Marcel's memories or Armin with Bertholdt). But, in this episode, we learned that the attack titan has the power to read the memories of its future holders. This power, only Eren discovered it... When? How?. The response is simple: by mistake. When Eren kissed Historia's hand, he saw his father killing the royal family but he also saw his father chatting with Zeke and his future self. The power of the attack titan is not to see the future directly but simply to observe the memories of the next holder if this one accepts it. For example, at the end of the episode, Grisha does not see Zeke, he sees himself, facing Zeke, from Eren's point of view. You can see Eren as a camera where he can choose, whenever he wants, to share his current vision to his predecessors. Then, to "know" the future, he has to share his vision to the predecessors and then see in Grisha's memories what's going to happen. There can only be one future (obviously). So when Eren decided to share his memories, he writes history, and the future cannot change anymore, otherwise his memories could not be transmitted to others and history would change. It's fate. When Eren shows his memories, he transmits them to all his predecessors simultaneously. Now you know why Eren was saying "TATAKAE" in front of the mirror: he was actually sharing his memories and using the mirror so that his predecessors can see him. Try to imagine: the first person gets the attack titan two thousand years ago and sees Eren telling him "fight, if you don't fight, you can't win". Apart from this person, all those who inherited this titan thought they were seeing the memories of the first owner, when in fact, they were seeing the memories of the last owner of this titan. Exactly, Eren must be the last attack titan, because if there is a new one, he could share is memories to change history and that is not possible. To be precise, Grisha was also aware of the impact of the future on his time. When Eren shared his memories, by "mistake", he revealed the presence of Zeke. From this moment, Grisha start understanding the power of the attack titan. Another thing: Now, we know why Eren Kruger said "To save Mikasa, Armin, and everyone else, you must see it through.". In fact, everyone who had the attack titan knew they had to save Mikasa and Armin, but they didn't know it was future memories. -------> To be clear: the moment the attack titan was created by Ymir, the whole story was written and could not be changed. To understand how the story is written, you have to admit that the story is written from the end. Okay, so Eren wants freedom for him and his friends. When he thinks he got that freedom, he shares his memories and the past can't change. In fact: two thousand years of history has been written at that exact moment. Inevitably, we are going to the future that Eren saw, and no one can change a thing. If for example, Eren wanted to be a pizza maker (yeah...), the attack titan goal would not be to fight the king's self-righteousness, but to make pizza and the history would have been different. That's because Eren wants freedom that every holder of the attack titan wanted freedom as well. Eren Kruger told us on the wall that Grisha was "chosen" to have the attack titan. In fact, this titan is transmitted each time to someone revolutionary. Indeed, if someone revolutionary has the attack titan, he will want to bequeath it to someone who shares his revolutionary ideas and that's how the titan has travelled through history to "fight" the royal line. It's funny to see that Zeke thought that Eren was being manipulated by his father, when we learn that Eren was manipulating two thousand years of history ^^. The story is actually a loop: Grisha steals the founding titan -> Grisha gives both titans to Eren -> Eren can attack Marley -> The can "kidnap" Zeke -> they can "touch" each other -> they can travel in Grisha's memory -> Eren can "contact" Grisha through memories and tell him to steal the founding titan -> ... (loop) This is the ultimate paradox of Attack on Titan. You can't find a beginning to the story except from the end. Another paradox: Eren ordered Grisha to spare Rod Reiss -> So he's going to look for his daughter (Historia) -> he will get killed by her -> She will become the new Queen of Eldia -> Eren will kiss her hand for the presentation of survey corps medals -> So he can look at his father's memories and see himself ordering to Grisha to spare Rod Reiss -> ... (loop) Here is my last point: When Zeke wanted to use his scream, Eren said "Wait!". At first sight, we can think that Eren hesitates and does not want to lose the people dear to him (Pixis for example). It's not that at all. Eren tells him to wait a second, so that Falco, his brother (Colt) and Gabi can arrive and do their dialogue. Once Zeke uses his scream, he orders Falco to "defend" Eren. That's what allows Eren's run. Also, without that little second, Gabi wouldn't be there and couldn't shoot Eren. Since Eren kissed Historia's hand, there are many details like that and I encourage you all to watch SNK again to find out more. Thanks you for reading this, it is always with great pleasure that I like to discuss this masterpiece that is SNK.

Remember the present Ymir's backstory? WHen her cult was caught by Marley they all blamed it to her too. It resembels the original Ymirs past alot.

Rumbling! Rumbling! It's coming!... Keep in mind. She was waiting 2,000 yrs in the real world time. Everything that happened the past two episodes happened in an instant in the real world. So if time moves that slow in the paths, and she was there for 2,000 yrs....

When Eren spoke to everyone in the paths we saw the Survey Corps, the Yeagerists, Reiner, Pieck, and Falco. But we also saw Eldians from outside the walls, so now every single Eldian in the world outside of Paradis knows that the Rumbling is coming for them. This is not what Armin thought Eren would do. So, do we live with that guilt now, knowing that Eren wiped out the world for us? Or do we sacrifice ourselves for a world that hates us trying to stop him...

still blows my mind that this whole story happens because a pig got out his pen.

Episodes 19, 20 & 21 are massive for this season and to the whole story... from now on, everything is going to be... well, you'll see

Ymir didn't just create the Wall Titans, she created ALL the titans that you can think off from sand then she slowly sends them to the Coordinate to make them come to life in the 'real world' in an instant.

Ymir, the Founder, not Only built the 10's of millions Colossal Titan's inside the walls, but directly and indirectly (Her descendants/ Marley/foreign influence) created Every Single Titan throughout the 2 millenniums. She was always a Slave until Eren humanized her, which makes the title of the 1st ep & this one.. 😱🤯

I love attack on Titan!! Getting chills all over again.

15:13 Eren didnt incite the war on Marley btw. Eren launched the attack literally the second Marley declared war on Paradis

Picture everything from Gabbie's view - she shot Eren's head off and soon as Zeke caught his head, the walls broke, The Rumbling started, and Eren transformed w/ Zeke.

Now go back and watch the Season 2 and Season 3 Part 1 Ending Theme Songs. You might recognize some things that didnt make a lot of sense at the time but make a LOT of sense now.

Uh ohhhhh, can’t wait to see you guys react to the special chapters and watch the finale with us in the fal

it’s very important to note the detail about how Grisha only sees the memories Eren CHOOSES to show him. so he can mislead him into the what the future actually holds and manipulate him into stealing the founder. And Eren also doesn’t wanna do this, when his future memories were opened up to him he found out this was what was destined to happen, time exists in a straight line in aot, the past present and future all coexisting with each other. Basically meaning every point in time is already layed out and unable to be altered

Notice the first episode's title in season 1 guys. Mindblowing.

Eren didn't incite the war with Marley, though. Marley was already killing and attacking Paradis from episode 1. They killed a quarter million in the first 2 episodes alone. Before Eren attacked, Willy was declaring war on Paradise and the other nations were joining because they were excited to hear about Willy's basically final solution to the entire Eldian race. His plan was a global coalition to exterminate Paradis and take the Founding Titan, gaining full mental and genetic control of that entire race of people. All before Eren did anything. I want you to think about what would have happened if Grisha hadn't left those journals. They wouldn't know there was an outside world. They wouldn't know the threat of Marley, its attitude towards them, or the world's attitude towards them. I want you to think about how much damage those airships did in a rough, poorly planned, sneak attack by what's left of Marley's military. Just raining bullets from the sky. What if they had come in full force, navy shelling from the sea, airships raining fire down, Titans running amok. But with Shinganshina rebuilt AND reinhabited. It's only empty because they knew in advance. An unsuspecting Paradis, looking for Titan enemies? They would've been slaughtered. If only Grisha's notebooks hadn't existed. What's the proper response when you catch a bunch of countries while they're planning a genocidal attack on you?

-Fun fact: when the people pointed at Ymir, they showed exactly 13 arms pointing, indicating that she has 13 years to live, otherwise known as the "curse of Ymir" -Also, Ymir's founding titan is estimately 80 meters tall, Whereas Eren's titan is 4 times her height, so (estimately) 320 meters tall. -And, while Willy Tybur said there were dozens of millions of "wall" titans, that was only an exaggerated number from king *Karl Fritz* to scare the outside world, and keep them away from the island, as the island wouldn't fit such big number, I'm not sure of the exact number, but I once saw a video suggesting there's about 600,000

ymir shinzou sasageyo gave her heart for the king -- this is where the eldian salute comes from

after all that time, of people just using her for their lust for power, someone humanised her

Ymir was not only crafting all of those titans in a mere 2000 years in the real world 2000 years went by. In that realm where she is million or even billion of years to her have passed. Fucking imagine that.

Y’all weren’t ready for that ending.

Just imagine, every time a titan shifter transform, Ymir had to build their titan BY HAND with sand. FOR 2000 YEARS (it in "normal time", in the coordinate time, it's maybe 10x more years)

Here's some kinda fun facts. When Ymir gained the power of the Titans she was 12. By the time she was 17, she had 3 kids. Time works differently in the place Ymir is in. What was 2000 years for everybody in the real world, was probably more like hundreds of thousands of years for her. Ymirs Founding Titan was HUGE. We don't know exactly numbers, but estimates put her at 250 or so meters tall. That's about as tall standing up as the Rod Riess Titan was long lying down. The time from when Eren gets his head blown off to now, was about half a second in the real world

I will forever remember this episode one of the best I watch till this day 3 year after

Loved both your faces at the end lmao 😂❤

It's so sad that Eren was the first person to acknowledge Ymir as a person😪.

There are so many Easter eggs in this episode. 13 fingers pointed at ymir- 13 year life cycle. 9 petal flower for 9 titans.

“Wipe out every single life outside our shores.” Welp. Everywhere besides Paradis will literally be a wasteland. No fauna, no flora. No humans.

"You are free" was said before they released Ymir to be hunted and at the end of season 3 before they threw one of Grisha's co-conspirators off the wall to be eaten by the newly made titans.

I came here not to rewatch this episode, but to see how would you react to it, and you guys never fails. I get excited when Shruti asked what will be the name of Ymir's baby, coz obviously, they won't see it coming😅😂 And then. . . Dre: Information available for public disclosure👉🏻👉🏻 Shruti: 😨😨😨 It really feels good to see these kinds of reaction, coz you know you reacted the same way back then😂

The music in this one is amazing,

13:10 That moment when your brain can’t even process life 🤣🤣🤣 This is one of my favorite reactions. Lol

13:13 tuve esa cara durante 30 min cuando vi ese episodio jajajaja!

I love how nerdy Isayama (the author) is... hallucigenia was a real organism back in prehistoric times - look it up!!

i been waiting for this episode.......... for 2000 years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

「呆然」、、、 そうなりますよね、、 いいリアクションでした。 ユミルは可哀想ですね、マーレや人間を恨む気持ちもわかります。

I felt so bad for Ymir. not the Ymir we know that was apart of the scouts. the fact that King, he is such a disgusting, horrible man.. using Ymir and to have children with her when she was so young. I hate king fritz, he is a bastard. seriously. because of him he started this ritual of eating the spine to pass down the power. it was him that didn't love ymir, used her and then when she needed his love the most he couldnt give it to her. ugh. I cry each time because I know that feeling of being unloved. of just laying down and wanting to die

Do you remember the first EP title "To You, 2,000 Years From Now"? The creature that parasitized Ymir is said to be modeled after Hallucigenia.

So. In case you're still confused about King Fritz. King Fritz who erected the walls. Those sand. And Uri Reiss. The first King Fritz was this King who were some kind of chief of a clan. He got lucky with Ymir. Somehow the slave he wanted to kill spearheaded his military and helped build infrastructure. So now, his tribe become a kingdom/nation/empire. Conquering a nation called Marley. Kinda like the Romans being invaded by non- Romans. The 145th King of Eldia (surname still Fritz) dislike how things were at his time. So, he gathered some of his subjects, asked Ymir to build so many colossal titans to form a wall. He brainwashed his entire subject inside the walls, whilst negotiating with Ymir somehow so that his descendants will be "pacifist". E.g Uri Reiss, Frieda Reiss, Rod and Uri's father. He changed the name of Fritz to Reiss and installed a fake king named Fritz, and went into hiding. The colossal titan walls serve as a threat to the outside world. While in reality, the king just wanted peace for some times. If you really count it, the time checks out. To you in 2000 years. From you in 2000 years. 145th king Frits. 100ish years since the "humanity outside the walls perished" Now about the sands. She can really form anything. That includes flesh and bones. That's how she patched up Zeke. She worked much harder than just build those colossal titans. Everytime someone summoned the power of titans, she built them all by hand. Time in paths in infinite and instant in real world. All the flesh, all the bones, all the hardening, all the walls. Why obey people with titan shifter power? Well, that's a proxy of the last command of the first King Fritz. Breed and multiply. Eat to inherit the power. Eldia shall rule the world with its monstrosity. All the titans behaviour, etc, is a proxy of the command of the first king Fritz. Somewhere along those 2000 years, the kings at those time might experiment. So we have the 9 titan shifter. We have the Ackerman. We have some additional rules, as long it doesn't go against the first king command. Until the 145th king Fritz -- the first king of the wall

This ep was everything 🥶🥶

エンディングの「悪魔の子」は歌詞を翻訳して視聴してみて下さい。心が震えます。

And you were happy when Eren betrayed Zeke. Now Zeke's plan and Marley's attacks on the island don't seem so terrible LOL

Can’t wait for the next part

😂Eren really hit the send to all button

and now back to season 2 ending song you will see the scene that three kids eating something weird

I said you weren't ready! One of the best plot twists in Anime history! Isayama is GOATed!

Eren had this all planned from the beginning. End of season 1 he said I’ll destroy the whole world

What makes it even worse is that time in the paths is infinite and instant. If she was waiting for 2000 years, then in the paths, she could’ve been waiting for millions of years.

Willy Tybur brought all of the worlds military to unite them to go destroy paradise and retain the titans they lost. So regardless if eren went to Marley or not , they were coming to paradise. Eren could see the future too ,so he already saw that they weren’t going to stop coming to fight them , even after Willy told the whole world the truth. so Eren technically didnt start it he just gotta do what he gotta do 🤷🏾‍♂️

Eren didn't incite a war. He waited to attack until Willy Tybur made a formal declaration of war at his speech. Marley incited the war, but he made the first move to get the upper hand. The moment you declare war on someone, you can't play the victim just because you didn't get to make the first move (and that's only to say they didn't make the first move in the war itself, because they'd ALREADY made a move years ago prior).

He went full Voldemort on the eldians

The beginning.... Of the end

awesome reaction ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

Live long enough to see Eren become the villain.

AoT is 10/10

imagine that pig never escaped

Grisha couldn't see anybody, at least not with his own eyes (Eren's)

3×11 "Bystander" reaction "I wonder if Lady Yamir story is over with" -Dre Me: 🫣

THIS THE ONE!!!

4:21 if you peep at this transition where they show Ymir looking as if she's offering an apple to a Titan, it shows you how we read certain religious or historical books they tell us one thing, but in real time, real life things could've went totally different.

Get rumbled stay humbled 🗣️🔥🔥💯

Fun Fact: 13 Hands pointed to ymir, 13 accused her of the crime, which is why titan shifters get 13 years of "penance" so to speak. End of this episode everyone be like " Are we the badies?"

FYI, in the japanese mythology, gods live in trees. Also, the "unknown" creature was actually an existing creature, millions years ago "Hallucigenia".

GET RUMBLED STAY HUMBLE 🗣

In the end.....all Marley and the world had to do was to leave Paradis alone......it's all they had to do.....

First ep of AOT « To you 2000 years ago »Eren and Ymir two slaves of destiny will Break free by wiping out all the things who put them to that situation so basically, all this « cruel world »! TATAKAE !

let's goooo eren

And this kids is why breeding hate is a bad idea, you keep bullying someone or a group of individuals and all it takes for one of them to snap at the worst time and turn your entire world upside down

Incredibly

I watched a Titan size comparison video and apparently Ymirs titan is larger than the colossal titan but smaller than Erens founding titan form. Idk how true it is but if so, I would not be calling Ymir a slave if i was the King.

When Eren acknowledged he was the same as Reiner, it wasn’t because they would both do terrible things, but because they both had no choice. They both had to do it to save their world. Plus, Willy declared war and Eren just pulled the quickest counter ever.

looks like Eren became the bad guy

Yup that's right. Stockholm syndrome.

oh no i missed this

Eren (4x20) : “Rather than letting someone steal my freedom, I'll steal theirs first.” 🔥 And this amazing..!! Attack on Titan OST - Footsteps of Doom (by KOHTA YAMAMOTO)
