After 11 years and 7 months of publication with only one forced halt to the Covid-19 pandemic in Japan, The Attack of the Giants ended in chapter 139, completing the story of Eren Jaeger and all the other Eldians.
Only Eren Jaeger is a tragic figure in the story who was forced to a death from which he could not break free. The Chapter 139 of The Attack of the Giants brings to light some events that were still unclear about the character and his motivationsWhen he revealed that he could see both past and present and future in reality, but couldn’t change, he had no choice but to go with the flow to get to the finale.
An already predetermined ending, which after the kiss with Historia Reiss almost at the end of the first part of the manga, he couldn’t help but follow and surrender to each and every aspect. The conflict Eren wages in his quest for freedom will persist until the end of the discussion with Armin, where he admits he had no choice. Although he knows the fate that awaited him in large parts, he still does not have the opportunity to change things. One example is having to send the giant Dina to her mother and not to Bertholdt to determine the beginning of the story.
Eren therefore remains a character trapped by his knowledge and desire for freedom. The ending of The Giants’ Attack was divisive, but Hajime Isayama’s work remains among the manga’s masterpieces.
