Hmm, I'm no expert on this, so maybe there's another explanation:
But what I'd like to believe is that her heritage doesn't convert her into a mindless puppet that can't do anything else than obey and protect him, but that it just leads to her first instinct being to do so.
So she can resist that urge, but if it's a split second decision (like armin attacking Eren in the episode) or she has no real reason not to do (like she had when Armin reasoned with her) she'll probably just do it🤔

There is no way to change the world for eldians lol, you see how shitty they’re treated by everyone in the world. It’s either you destroy every single person in the world except eldians or the euthanization plan and make sure eldians die out.

So if Mikasa “has to” defend Eren why did she let Levi beat him in court? Armin dissuaded her from doing so back then but it’s not like he could stop her... she just chose to heed his advice?! Feel free to explain any context I might be missing.

I wanted to say all sorts of stuff about the humanity or lack thereof that I see in comparing Zeke and Eren. But all I can really articulate after 5 different comments I've thrown out is: I am shook.

Here’s the thing, Eren’s personality drastically changed from the events he has gone through all these years and the memories he saw from the titans. But his nature never changed, he longs for freedom and I don’t think his personality is being overtaken by previous shifters.
Armin on the other hand, completely changed his personality just from inheriting a Titan from Bertholt. He’s growing attachment for Annie, became a wishy washy who’s unable to make the cruel and correct decisions. Which is why I think it makes sense to say he’s the one who’s been manipulated.

Welp, now we at least know why Zeke had no qualms about eradicating the scouts:
"He was saving them from live and they're children from beeing born."🙃😲

Yeah, to me it too felt like he was not really meaning it and probably trying to get them away from him...
My take on it though is more along the lines of:
"You're gona hate my anyways for what I'm planing, so I might as well start to dissappoint you right now than dissapoint you even more later on."
Or maybe:
"If this goes down badly for me, I don't wan't you to have to go down with me."
Diego Zenhäusern
2021-03-22 23:56:14 +0000 UTC
To be honest I actually expected him to say something like:
"No one's decisions are ever truly their own, I'm not beeing mor controlled by others than you are."
Because telling Armin he's beeing controlled by the one titan he's got but pretending the three he's got himself have no influence over him is just hypocritical!

Can I just say, that the moment Levi told him what was going to happen, when he moved to much I was just:
"Ok, and whats preventing him from just moving to take you with him? xD"

I could be wrong but other than telling Mikasa about the Ackermans I feel that Eren is purposely being harsh and somewhat cutting ties with Mikasa and Armin. So that they won't be on his conscious when carrying out his plan. I feel like he's doing what Itachi did to Sasuke or rather what Sasuke was trying to do with Naruto lol idk its just hard to believe he's being a complete dick now all of a sudden

We still don't know if Eren is on board with Zeke's plan or if he has got a plan of his own but one thing is certain after these two episodes: Grisha tried to brainwash and manipulate Zeke and Zeke sympathises with Eren, believing Grisha did the same to him. That's why he cares about Eren and wants Eren to come to same conclusion he did on his own. That's why when Eren said he was on board with Zeke's plan he teared up. So long story short: Zeke has not brainwashed Eren. And since taking away the freedom to reproduce would be out of Eren's character as you pointed out, there is a big chance Eren has his own plan and uses Zeke for it.

Zeke is definitely top 3 for me. I was up to this point in the manga as well but I was still amazed by the music and the voice acting in this episode. I didn't appreciate them cutting certain important dialogue though. Animation wise..oh well it's a passing grade

On 4x15: Some of my favorite chapters and the anime still went beyond my expectations. Zeke is probably top 3 for me.

Or maybe, it references a decision those said brothers are going to make, and their entire plan seems to be based on, and understand they are a product of their entire lives. But I dunno, broken homeies making the big boy calls I guess.

I really don't like how they cut out an important dialogue from Eren in the manga. Eren won't listen to Armin and claims he's the one who's manipulated based on Armin's change of personality.
Other than his attachment to Annie, Eren thinks Armin used to be a natural-born leader whose decisiveness and logical reasoning leads everyone to the best outcome, Armin was the one who used to say without sacrifice, nothing can be achieved. But nowadays Armin became a wishy-washy who only wants to talk things out with the enemy, in the end, he can't do anything.
I do think Eren went too far but I also think he has a point, I do feel like Armin inherited Bertholt's indecisiveness and it's evident on how it is getting in the way of him making the best decisions
Swan
2021-03-22 06:29:52 +0000 UTC
Sure! I'm impressed you have so much faith in Eren after all that we've seen. I personally don't think he would ever agree to Zeke's plan myself, salvation = not being born at all goes against everything that man stands for. After all, he's all about living free, everyone being special and matters to somebody because they are already born into this world

Slight misunderstanding you have over here, while it was obvious that Mikasa's host is Eren, it's safe to say Levi's host was Commander Erwin and not Eren, he has been following every order given by Erwin and fought for him for years. While Kenny's one was King Uri Reiss, Historia's uncle.

We’ve been justifying Eren’s motives since the beginning, and the fact that only now is when we kind of become skeptical, it only means that this is product of good story and character development. I love where this is going. It’s interesting~!

I think Eren sounded pretty sincere like he is fully aware and not control by anyone he is just truly turning evil. The jeagarist are directly answering to Eren so he is okay with the way they are doing things otherwise he would put them in their place so I don't think Eren is faking it to push his friends away his new government his doing exactly what he did beating their own people the same way he beat up Armin. I doubt he is even thinking about self-sacrifice. I think he just doesn't want anyone standing in the way of what he has planned.

hard to say if they're even an influence on him tho.. if u re watch Season 1 he's literally had this whole freedom attitude since the begining. If were being honest Eren been a fucked up character since the start we just turned a blind eye to it

Its mighty rich coming from eren that someone is being manipulated by the previous shifter since eren got 3 titan power inside him. 2 of which are his enemy. Note that warhammer titan lady had a ponytail. And guess what, Eren had pony tail too. Guess eren is too self absord in the whole freedom deal that he didnt realise this lol
Edit: My second comment gone to oblivion for what ever reason so imma just post it inside here.
Regarding on why Eren push his friend away. I do agree that he did this to protect them and yeah Eren sacrificing himself does make sense. But come on. This is attack on titan we dealing here. Self sacrificing is not enough. Like erwin said. if you not willing to sacrifice everything. You not gonna change anything. So since Eren is not willing to sacrificing Historia and his action led to sasha death. One might wonder what what else he is willing to sacrifice to save his homeland. His humanity? To become a bigger monster and do something beyond redemption? We are nearing the climax. Lets prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
