Predictions Predictions on how AoT will end

[Syncrinity]

Hey everyone!

So after I caught up to chapter 90, I began to think about how the series will come to an end. I have no idea how close my predictions are, but this is my theory:

The Eldians of the walls have 2 titans they control, and Annie. We don't know what Annie will do when she's released from her crystal. The walls also have the wall titans, which can be used with the founding titan.

The Marlians have at least 3 known shifters, that we know of. That being Reiner, Zeke and Ymir. It's fair to assume they have at least 2 more, if not the last 3 needed to make all 9. Marley, I would assume has a much stronger military force, and that their technology is more advanced than the wall folk.

So, my theory is that Annie will be ultimately sacrificed to transfer her powers to Mikasa. I have this weird feeling that Eren, Armin and Mikasa will all end up fighting together as titans. Now, after the failure during the last arc, I believe Reiner will be killed and have his powers moved to another host.

I feel like this will result in a second "great titan war". This battle will have Levi ultimately defeat Zeke, possibly gaining the titan power. Though I'd much rather him remain the badass "human".

The war will come down to Eren, somehow using the coordinate to control the wall titans and win the battle.

At the very end, I have a feeling everyone from the walls will come to see how cruel the world really is. How greedy humans are and how war driven they are. So, the coordinate will be used to return the wall titans back to their land and create the walls once again. The series will conclude with the 3 main characters having their titans transferred to the next generation, as peace is restored.

What do you guys think?

Actually, wall people have 4 titan powers; Eren got 2, attack titan and the coordinate, Armin got colossal titan, and Annie in custody.
- Sorry but Mikasa wont ever become titan because her family didnt have any eldian blood line, they r ackerman and asia.
- Although Annie giving up her power is not impossible (astronomically low chance), i personally think that's not the case. Annie switching side after see things change during 6 years after they left the marley land (probably have something to do with her father too) is making more sense to me.
- Levi defeats Zeke and complete the promise he gave to Erwin sure is a great idea but Eren too, has unfinished business with his bro.
- I dont think Zeke, as a strongest titan, would be so careless to be defeated sololy(Is this word exist? it sounds weird to me (not native english user)) by Levi twice but Levi+Mikasa+Eren, sure they can beat Zeke.
- Reiner will probably dies but i dont think wall people got more serum to use to steal the power to their side unless they infiltrate the marley land and took some titan serum into their arsenal.
- Eren use coordinate is surely gonna happen but win? I think we probably not gonna have a clear cut where we define win or lose. At war people lose, everyone lose, the degree depend on circumstances.
- Maybe the eldian win by a little margin. For example, not even 10 people of the entire race survive against extincted marley which essentially mean Eldian too is extincting soon (not likely, unless marley invade the wall).
- I still have no idea about how AoT will end because we still have no idea about how the last arc will shape up but i have a feeling that it's not gonna be happy ending (not necessary mean sad/bad ending)

Well, mikasa is only half asian. It is plausible she has eldian blood, at least on one side of her family.

If they ever get annie out of the crystal I would think it is entirely possible that she gets eaten. Why would the scouting legion let her live? Even the information she has becomes accesible if her titan powers are passed on.

Personally, I think the manga's next step is paradise people looking for allies beyond the walls. Marleen is not the only nation out there, at it seems they have several other enemies. In other words, their best chance here is to see if any of those enemies would be willing to side with them. Getting recognition as a proper country with sovereignty should be immensely important.

Another important thing they should do is get their people. As in, get eldians to side with them. A best case scenario for them is to get eldians at marley to straight up riot and then gradually recover them. right now paradise doesn't have merely the walls, they have gained most of the outside of the walls as well. In other words, plenty of lands to populate. Considering 250k people died thanks to berholt and reyner, the wall folk should even be short of people altogether.

 

[COBALT]

Um, I don't think Mikasa can become a titan. She's half asian and half Ackerman. There's no Eldian blood in her at all. The Ackermans aren't Eldians as they are immune to the mindwipe of the coordinate.

 

[Catzzz123456]

If Mikasa become shifter that would be a killing machine. That's can't be in this manga. But I wooder what will be if not eldian use serum.

 

[DrFabulous0]

Honestly, unless the Ackermans have been inbreeding for generations then clearly Mikasa has Eldian blood. But she still won't become a shifter because it's Historia who needs to become a titan. That way there is no need to get the Eldians in the ghetto to riot, they can just be turned into titans using the coordinate.

Well, we saw mikasa back when she was a little girl, that must have been 10 years ago. Which means at the time the people would have been within the wall about 90 years. MIkasa's parents appeared to be in their 30s.... Which means they were born when the wall was 60 years old. If we assume her grandparents had kids at normal ages then that means they would have been born some 25 years before, when the wall was about 35 years old. In any case, her grandparents were likely born inside the walls. There is a fair bit of speculation to go on with but mikasa has 4 grandparents and 8 great grandparents. It would be weird if at least someone there wasn't eldian. Of course, we can't rule out her blood being too diluted for her to titanize. Levi's dad is a random client her mom had which means it is likely that he has eldian blood as well. I guess that means that unless you aren't a sufficiently pure eldian you cannot be affected by the memory wipe considering it is unlikely even kenny didn't have at least some eldian blood.

 

[downright]

i say Kenny and Levi have the Eld blood, Mikasa no, but she can become Ymir's subject. It's just a hunch so am still processing this. I predicted being an invisible "path" between the Elds long before mentioned just by watching behaviors so i'll trust myself again, Their behaviors make me think this. As for snk ending.. everyone gets an ending of their own.There will be more endings, it won't be linear.

 

[kkck]

I have been thinking and my conclusion regarding how this ends is the following: The manga has to end with the disappearance of titans somehow. Realistically speaking, and perhaps reasonably, titans are a distabilizing force in the world. Whoever controls them have had control over the world. With that in mind the ideal ending would be to get rid of titans. Eldians got titans 2000 years ago apparently, they can conceivably lose them.

I guess that will result in exploring the actual origin of titans which considering how the marley thing has played out they might as well be freaking aliens.

Actually aliens kinda works, if you prefer a psuedoscientific explanation to a magical one, bearing in mind that any technology sufficiently advanced as to be beyond one's understanding is indistinguishable from magic.

The original Ymir came into contact with 'the source of all organic matter on this world.' That could be a starship which arrived millenia ago carrying genetic material to terraform the planet. In this train of thought the difference in Eldians' blood would most likely be the presence of nanotechnology, allowing access to the 'pathways.' With this level of high technology it isn't too much of a stretch to imagine technologies such as teleportation, transmutation of matter and trans-temporal communications which can account for the titans' abilities.

I was absolutely serious when I said aliens might explain all. I just phrased it like that because the development would be so awful it would retroactively ruin every single frame of every single chapter in the manga. It would be a magnitude of times worst than the reveal of naruto's heritage. Wait, I take that back. It wouldn't be that bad but it would still be bad enough that it would actually look the plot was stolen from an assortment of terrible history channel "documentaries".

 

[DrFabulous0]

Yeah I agree it would be kinda lame at those point, but magic doesn't sit any better with me, hoping for something a little more original to be honest.

Well, the manga so far has more or less suggested that stuff tends to work via physical processes which can be measured and understood. Hence why the studying of titans as carried out by the wall folk has advanced in the way we have seen. With that in mind, straight up magic would be unusual. However if not magic what is left to us is.... aliens. I guess there could have been another race of non human folk that gave humanity the titans... which would be better than aliens though in many ways not too different. I guess the best case scenario is isayama not screwing over titans via developing them and simply leave the mystery there.

 

[DrFabulous0]

Hmm, perhaps we will meet the entity which gave Ymir the titans power without its true nature ever being revealed. That would be cruel but beautiful and we couldn't say he didn't foreshadow it.

hehehehehehe

Concerning about the magic thing. I heard Isayama never at first planned for them to use the 3d maneuvering gear. They were supposed to be jumping on titan to kill them, beats me how would that work. This gear invention distanced Snk from being a fantasy/magic story: Gear and currently disclosable information on how it works, made me think the author is approching to us with logic. Maybe if there were never the gears we woudn't be surprised to Krueger use the word magic. But nevermind this i think we are going to get bio/logical explanations such as titans anatomy and what are the paths in the real world.

 

[Arjuna]

I think this Manga will have a bitter sweet ending.


This is from the Wiki,"Originally, Isayama planned to give the series a tragic conclusion similar to that of the film adaptation of Stephen King's The Mist, where every character dies. However, positive response to the manga and anime has caused the author to contemplate changing the ending due to the impact it could have on fans."

The original interview as you can see is here.

 

[downright]

That scene left such an impact on me that i even listen to Host of Seraphim till this day.

 

[DavidHernandez]

It's probably going to end with the recreation of Ymir(Original Titan) my bet is in Armin will eat all the other titan shifters(Eren too) to put an end to the story. If we consider Armin as the narrator of the story( a story about Eren) then he may be the only one alive by the end of the serie.

 

[Quick6r]

I only see one way this story could possibly end. The most powerful weapon in their world is the coordinate power which is obviously possessed by Eren. That power will inevitably be passed on to a new shifter who can only be Historia. She's the last person that we know of who has royal blood and could utilize the full power of the coordinate. If Historia doesn't end up with the coordinate someone else within the wall will because I doubt they would want to loose it. So yea, I think the Marley will come to Paradis and battle the Eldians, during the battle the Eldians will be beaten severely and take heavy casualties. As a last resort, Historia will consume Eren taking the Attack titan(which was coincidentally used to kill her half sister Freida) + Coordinate and use said power to defeat the Marley. I also think that at some point, the Eldians will reach out to the Eldians living under the Marley and convince them to defect, and the Eldians will continue to live in seclusion on the island after the war is done. Some people had an interesting thought, which is the story has to end with the titans being wiped out. I just don't think that's possible especially considering how long titans have been around(thousands of years). Also, how would it happen? all Eldians would have to die, otherwise the shifter abilities would continue to manifest in random people. You could certainly eliminate all the mindless titans though..

I also think that..
- Armin and Mikasa will be the only survivors from the main cast.
- Hanji and Levi will die in the ensuing battles( Levi will die in a stalemate facing Zeke )

The fact that Historia has royal blood means that she can't use the Coordinate, so it would be pointless and wasteful to give it to her.

The Titans were all born in the first place because of a "deal" that was made.

If all powers are brought together/unified or something, it might be possible to interact with the "entity" (Devil?) and make a new deal that would remove the Eldian curse forever.
