If a literal nuke couldn't kill it, I don't see how Falco can.

Anyway, Mikasa will be fine. That's the reason she kept the scarf, because its the last thing she has to remember the Eren she knew.

Yeah any attempt to kill Not-Nidhogg will be completely unrealistic when the thing literally defied the laws of physics to transcend even death itself.

It sure is fun going back to You Tube videos of the anime opening and ending animations to see the comments pointing out all the foreshadowing.

@Omega and Yakuza It could just be impervious to heat. It seems way too distressed to be invincible.

Plus Pieck is biting into it and making it bleed.

Leads me to think think that eating it might be the only way to actually kill it or at least ripping it up with your teeth.

Makes me wonder if there are any side effects of digesting it?

You probably become the new founder if you eat it? That might make it so the Eldians that got turned into Titans can be saved?

I don't really have high hopes for that though. Gabi, Connie, and Jean might be gone at this point. I am assuming Mr. Leonhardt is also gone too considering Reiner's mom is also a titan as well.

I have pretty high hopes for Gabi just because Reiner or Falco would feed themselves to her without hesitation.

I don’t see Connie becoming a Titan Shifter.

And I low-key want Jean to eat Pieck so he can become the Horse Cart Titan and it would make all Fingerstein memes even better in a dark way. But he is currently biting through Reiner’s nape so....yeah.

Pieck feeds herself to Jean, Annie to Gabi, and Reiner to Connie? Although Pieck doesn't have much reason to do that.

That OVA of Mikasa, Jean, Connie and Historia turning into Titans in a vision sure got a lot more twisted in retrospect now.

I'm currently leaning on the idea that every one will lose their titan powers/revert back to normal after the bug thing dies or Ymir moves on from her Paths purgatory. So no more deaths or titan transfers are needed.

Yeah any attempt to kill Not-Nidhogg will be completely unrealistic when the thing literally defied the laws of physics to transcend even death itself.
That bug thing could be like a Tardigrades, an animal that can survive extreme environments but still gets eaten alive by other animals. If the Cart titan can take a bite out of that thing then Falco, who is still the jaw titan, should definitely be able to destroy it.

I mean the PATHS literally involve transcending death itself is even stated. And that’s because of it reacting to Ymir.

Killing it wouldn’t end it, just like death didn’t kill Ymir and she lived on in the Paths it created. It would be the one thing for sure I can’t believe because this entity stopped being normal when it created Titans to begin with.

Anyways This animated version of Jujutsu Kaisens first ending but with the Titans is great.

So here's an interesting tidbit

Had Mikasa confessed and ran away with Eren, he would have made the same decision that Grisha did; losing his resolve and living his life in relative peace until his time was up.

Now whether that would have been the "correct" decision is up to the reader. But it does support that Eren would have definitely preferred to run away with Mikasa, even if that would have meant dooming his friends and country.

Reminds me of that scene in Berserk where Griffith imagines what his life would be like he settled down with Casca.

Of course the second option also has the woman getting gruesomely killed in the end and the spouse with a shorter lifespan outliving them.

So I can already see where it is going even in that fantasy.

I mean there’s a reason why it’s reminiscent of Casca:

Isayama: There are some parts of Mikasa that are unrefined, yet on the other hand, she has a brave personality. I think these are influenced from the heroine of Berserk, Casca. At that time while drawing, I didn’t realize it - but after a while, I realized that Mikasa resembles Casca.

So is Eren some twisted combination of Guts and Griffith?

Griffith also had a No-Homo desire for Guts and it was both leaving him that sent him over the edge.

Griffith is also Moonbrat aka Guts and Casca's kid. Which applied to Eren and Mikasa, if Eren is a combo of Guts and Casca oh dear god I don't want to even pretend to try and sort this godless mess out.

He did a terrible first impression and not ever once acted to improve it.

He should had switches placed with Marlo in that charge.

Floch is fan-fucking-tastic for meme purposes, but as a character this threads attitude towards him has pretty much always been the opposite of Titanfolk's I think.

[up]That's an interesting question actually, how would things have gone down if Eren didn't have Floch as his own personal ass kisser to ignite Paradisian fascism? Would there be any meaningful difference beyond a potentially larger Alliance against the Rumbling? How would the world respond if they saw all of Paradis itself rally to stop the Rumbling and make Eren and Hallucigenia-kun take a dirtnap?

Living garbage. The one good thing I can say is that it’s honestly amusing seeing him become a fascist radical solely because his need to justify being the only survivor of a charge meant to kill them all that he NE Ed S to serve the most monstrous individual because they clearly have a Plan(tm).

Floch is a pretty interesting example of how radicalism can be taken too far.
