The Sun King's Evidence

Just today, Attack on Titan ended.

After I finished watching the ending, I always felt like there was something stuck in my throat. I really couldn’t express it and couldn’t find a place to talk about it, so I decided to post it here. If you are not interested or don’t know, you can skip it. No. Affect anything.

(The following is the emperor's personal opinion. If you don't like it, don't criticize it. If you disagree, you are right.)

Attack on Titan is over, and episode 139 "To the Tree on the Hill" is officially over.

After watching the ending, I kept wanting to say something, but I couldn't.

That is to say, you can feel that Hajime Isayama really wanted to say something in the ending, but everything from the storyboards to the details to the character dialogue and the introduction of the background are actually extremely blurred.

After the earthquake and 80% of the population perished, everything seemed to be over. The giants disappeared and the world ushered in a brief period of peace.

But is it over?

No, the author tells us very clearly that the cycle of hatred has not ended.

The giant is gone, but both sides are preparing for war, preparing to kill the other side, and are falling into extreme war fever.

The Survey Corps is dead and crippled.

Countless mortals died in this disaster.

But the group of "war criminals" who committed the biggest crimes lived well.

Although peaceful on the surface, we can know from the dialogue during the voyage in the plot that the world is still undercurrent. In the end, Mikasa reached out and pressed Eren's head, telling him that he could see everyone, and then used a bird to pull the scarf and Spread your wings and end.

Do you feel unfinished and inexplicable?

Yes, I feel that way too.

I can feel that as the author, Isayama Sou is trying to express and satirize something through this ending, but due to the extreme obscurity and cover-up, on the one hand, everything comes to an abrupt end, and on the other hand, there are endless aftertaste and unfinished meanings.

Let me put forward some of my personal opinions.

First of all, what I want to say is, don’t just look at a bunch of analysis and firm judgments. Let’s first confirm that Hajime Isayama himself is a “far-right” and “anti-war loser.” You have to know what is true and false on the Internet. It’s true, there are too many self-media, public accounts and big Vs who know how to incite the emotions of netizens. They know that it is very easy to get subconscious recognition, traffic and a lot of likes as soon as this judgment and answer is posted, so They must say this, and they must answer this.

In fact, I personally think that the irony of this ending is very profound, but it does not necessarily mean anything, because from a certain perspective, it makes sense anyway.

First of all, this ending can be understood as Isayama Hajime is satirizing the superstructure of the current book. I have done some research on the superstructure of the book. It can be said that more than a thousand years ago, the senior management of the book began to take turns in power during the Regents era until now. , the political structure of the book has not changed, eternal aristocracy and taking turns in power.

As we all know, many of them have committed numerous crimes. During the Tokyo Trial, the International Court of Justice gave justice to many of them. However, there are still many who slipped through the net and have not been liquidated (or were partially acquitted or even released after the fact), and As Murayama's conversation gradually faded into obscurity and the arrival of the new century, Benzi gradually forgot the facts and the crimes he had committed.

As said in the ending, there is no regret, only fanaticism, no apology, only Tata drive! Tata is on!

Secondly, of course, the ending of "Giant" can also be understood as an anti-defeat, which seems to be no problem. You can feel through the conversation between Eren and Armin that Eren, who activated the earthquake, is deeply sorry?

No, and the memory has been modified and sealed.

The Yeager faction successfully came to power, controlled the Eldians, continued to incite, continued to be fanatical, and continued to drive!

We have not failed, we will rebuild the glory of the island!

This can be regarded as the author's unwillingness to the status quo and some long-simmering venting.

This person really cannot understand the current situation, there is no doubt about it.

Due to some well-known reasons, it is not convenient to elaborate on this point (laughing), everyone understands it.

Finally, there is an understanding.

The author sees so clearly that he is laughing.

What are you laughing at?

Ridicule, nothing has changed, he has seen through everything, the cycle of human history.

Is there any difference whether the ground chirping is activated or not?

Is there any difference between a world with giants and a world without giants?

Has the chain of hatred been interrupted?

No, none.

Keep fighting until one side is dead!

A world where only Eren and Mikasa are injured is achieved!

Then everything comes back to square one.

So many people died in the entire Survey Corps, and the captain was partially disabled. In exchange for the heroic souls who gave countless hearts to save the world, one of the Ai tribe was exterminated, and in exchange for a murderer, his family was reunited, and the victim looked at them and smiled. ending?

Your heart is dedicated to the dog, right?

A group of war criminals are reunited and in harmony with each other. The innocent people who really died will love them to death, right?

I personally think that the intentions of these three endings can be understood no matter how you interpret it, because the author probably left the blank space intentionally. On the one hand, he wanted to avoid criticism for his straightforward views (or maybe because of the pressure from the publisher). On the other hand, he probably didn’t want to Certain death.

So, to sum up, does Attack on Titan suck?

Personally, I think it's absolutely crappy.

In addition to a lot of foreshadowing and many plots that are not extended or explained clearly, the last and most important thing is that the main themes of the entire comic, "freedom" and "breaking the cycle of hatred", are completely ruined in the ending. The author will tell you directly. .

Honey, I don’t know either!

What is the freedom that Allen really wants?

He is free when he dies, yesyes!

What does it mean to truly break the cycle of hatred?

Just kill them all on one side, diedie!

Then the interlocking themes of freedom and hatred that you spent the last 138 chapters trying to discuss and sublimate are bullshit, and the things you have been struggling with and thinking about before are bullshit?

Wouldn't it be over if I said this so early?

It's like a master chef who has talked about countless theories and arranged countless ingredients, and done many steps to prepare it for the table. When you are hungry, Blue Knight delivers food outside and comes in with a cheap takeaway and says this is yours. dinner.

Is it disgusting, is it uncomfortable?

Anyway, I feel very uncomfortable. I like giants very much, and I wrote many of my thoughts on the plot into the book. For example, when Malcador and Ryan talked about freedom, I just put my understanding of giants (including many on the Internet) Human analysis) was brought in.

Then according to Isayama Hajime's arrangement, in the end Malcador's answer was Chaos diedie, and the Emperor said yes, and that was it, right?

grass! ! !

I really missed Sun Yifeng.

If I follow this idea, then I will write the ending like this.

In the 40th millennium after the end of the earthquake, there are no more Eldians or Marais. Everyone has forgotten what hatred drives them to kill indiscriminately, but humans just want to kill indiscriminately. In order to kill violently, even if one faction wins, new factions will soon split and continue to kill indiscriminately, until there is only one person left in the world to eat chicken.

Eternal hatred and anger, eternal hostility and indiscriminate killing.

What, you don’t want to kill indiscriminately? Who are you? You must not be human, right? Or did you receive money from a big country across the sea?

Just kill indiscriminately!

Yoxi, we are going to kill indiscriminately today!

Kill me!

.........I am the dividing line between random killings......

When the rants are over, just laugh.
