attack on titan chapter 122 review

Did you guys still remember the day when I uploaded the post about manga Attack On Titan chapter 121 fan theories? Now, the chapter 122 has been released, the truth is now officially open for public. The real history of how the first Titan ever made contact with the source power, and the earth devil does not exist, it is pure myth. Totally mind blown, right? But, now I'm just getting more and more confuse, I will tell you why later in the end of the post, why everything is so confusing. Oh my head.

First off, I wanna review what happened in chapter 122. And it was super tragic, in a way that nobody, literally no one would have had thought. Everything started sort of coincidental. Ymir is a girl, yes. But she was no ordinary girl. She was a slave, since the beginning, probably since birth. And that continued up to her death, she was continously suffering and being a slave even after her death. Wait, what? Okay, I'll break it down more for you. There was no Titan in the past, the Eldian tribe was the scariest tribe with big physical apperance, or even can be calle huge. They liked to conquer other land and made those people to be their slave. Yes, one of them is Ymir, the first titan.

One bad day, a random pig has been lost, the head of the tribe at the moment planed to took one eyeball out from each of the slave if nobody wanted to came out and admit the fault. Ymir was being victimised, yes scapegoated. Then, she was punished, tortured by the craziest way possible, they let her ran into the woods and chased her to death. She was bleeding, and one of her eyes was suspectedly already been taken out, I know, that is very very barbaric method of punishment. Yes or yes?

She then found a tree with a hole. She entered it, then fell down into the water, and had contact with unidentify strange entity. It looked like human spine, it attached with her. Then, she was instantly transforming into the first titan, the founder titan. She was huge like the colosal titan, or even bigger, had long hair like the female titan, and the exposed human rib out of the body. She may actually fleed herself from the slavery with such power, right? Wrong! She remained to be the slave and made that tribe bigger and became a kingdom. The king then rewarded her by married her off and got three daughters, but she was still a slave after all, keep listening to her master.

Then, in one accasion, somebody planed to kill the king, Ymir covered the king and she got stabed right into the left chest, and died. Okay, now that is weird. She was a titan power holder, she would have been survived easily like so many titan shifter character we've been read or watched in AOT universe. But, nope. And this special rare phenomenon was already explained by the so many youtubers stated that probably the revived power or the healing ability from wounds actually related to the will of that person wanted to live or die, referring to the fan theories.

And something scarier is not done yet, after she died, the body was choped off into several pieces and eaten by her children. That way, the king can make sure that the power would be stayed in their possession. Ymir traped in the titan dimension, continue becoming a slave, creating titan everytime, someone as the titan shifters turned into Titan. And we also got the picture of how Ymir created the ten millions titans in the walls. And yes, those millions titans in the wall exist for real.

In the previous chapter, we have been told that our super hero has now turned into super villain. But from this new chapter, I think Eren is still the same, he is still the hero we watched growing up through the series of manga and anime. Even if he plans to literally destroying the whole world, I mean, yeah that is probably not any super hero would have been wanted to do, but our situation here is kinda different, you know.

This is about freeing from the slavery, it is about Ymir that sends message from 2000 years ago to anyone in the 2000 in the future to come and help her out. Isayama, the creator, already got the whole story right from the very beginning. We can tell by how connected the chapter 1 and the chapter 122 actually are, right?

But, now things are really confusing as near the end. Does the story really have one straight timeline? So, what about the time travel in the previous chapter when Eren and Zeke visited the memory that turns out to be the past and talk to their father about many things, how Eren was the cause why father slaughtering the whole remaining royal family that time in the past. And I just don’t get it how by destroying the whole world with millions of titan can actually end the story of Ymir's suffering.

As we read on the manga, Eren is alive and turning into the titan mode one more time, but it seems different and bigger and maybe he has the power of founding titan already? Walls are falling down and millions colossal titans are standing everywhere. Next chapter is going to be epic. Hopefully the ending, I don’t know, we deserve so much explanations about everything. About what is actually going on with the story.
