Will there be a new Eren Yeager? I have been an AOT fan over the years, and I have just loved how they portrayed the character of Eren Yeager. But the ending of the last season wasn’t as perfect as I imagined. It was like they made us believe that everything could be undone and then just did the absolutely necessary portion of the story. Even though the ending was nice, it wasn’t as satisfying as it could have been. But that isn’t what I wanted to talk about today. What I want to say today is how I think that a new Eren was on the rise according to the ending of AOT. If you look at the story of Attack on Titan, then you will understand that Eren, who always wanted nothing but freedom not only for himself but also for all humankind, was never actually free himself. Though he chose his family and friends over the rest of the world, he actually never saved them all. He had to sacrifice so many of them that it all just seemed so hopeless. And I think that is where Eren can have a new comeback.
The story of AOT never actually shows where the Founder’s capabilities end. Can it not bring back people from death? Well, the answer might be NO because if it could, it would have brought the king to life again. We also know it can’t make someone love someone else, but it can play with your thoughts, which can change your perspective of someone. The Founder, having power that can change everything around it, still can’t be used fully because it never had that control over it until Eren freed her. But even then, she couldn’t have used its full power because Eren wasn’t fully committed to her. Then maybe Eren thought of the whole thing, and Eren’s never-giving-up attitude and always fighting an unwinnable battle did change the fate of the world, and he found a loophole, a new way to bring all of his friends and family together in a peaceful time.
In the end of AOT, we see that even though the Titan power is no more, the ending credits show that people find a new way to fight and keep on fighting each other for other reasons. What if Eren did know all of this and thought of letting people fight not because of Titans or Eldians and Marleyans? Then, when everyone kills each other and everything starts anew, he can reincarnate everyone because according to Season 3, Final Part 2, we can see all the memories of previous Titan power holders were brought back to life. That means it might not be able to bring someone to life again, but it can reincarnate them. If Eren takes control of such power, he can bring everyone to life, including his mom. He can be finally free. He can get all the things he ever wanted, and I think that is a better ending for a protagonist like Eren. He has always been fighting, and he should be able to get what he always wanted.
Here is how he can do this:
The Coordinate is the central point of the Paths, and it is where all Eldian souls converge. As the holder of the Founding Titan, Eren has control over the Coordinate. Having this, Eren can easily make sure that everyone is reincarnated at the same time when they can have their old life back. He can bring everyone with a reincarnation to the peaceful era when Paradis Island was in peace with other countries. This is before other fights began. This will be the best option because this will be the time when the whole world is trying to rebuild and everyone is helping each other, trying to make a better living than before. Everyone will try to make the future different than before, where they don’t discriminate against others because of their race or other factors. They can enjoy Paradis Island as before and also see their old town as the beautiful place it was. This way, Eren might even get to have the life of freedom where every truth about Titans and everything is out and people are truly free.
Also, to ensure that the lessons of their past lives are not entirely lost, Eren could embed core memories or feelings within the reborn individuals. This would allow them to retain a sense of connection and wisdom from their previous lives, guiding them towards a better future.
