Attack on Titan: 4x29

The Rumbling

The Rumbling continues, with the Wall Titans killing countless people on the continent of Marley, including Ramzi and his brother and Grisha’s parents. Some time ago, during their Liberio visit, Eren walked around, knowing that in the future he would kill all the people around him in the city, since he sensed he’d been predestined to do so. He figures they will never find a peaceful resolution to ensure the survival of Paradise. Despite having this knowledge, he still saves Ramzi from getting beat up by a group of merchants for stealing. Although the boy is grateful to him, Eren tearfully apologizes, telling Ramzi that the outside world he discovered is different from what he imagined it would be and that he made a wish to wipe it all away as a result. Back in the present, the Rumbling continues to march towards other civilizations all across the world. Eren begins to feel a sense of freedom and reaches out to Armin through Paths to ask if he agrees. Before having the chance to respond, Armin snaps back into reality on the ship that’s traveling towards Odiha to prepare the flying boat. After sitting down next to Annie, she thanks Armin for his kindness in coming to visit her while she was trapped in the crystal and refers to him as a good person, as she believes being alone all that time would have made her go mad otherwise. Armin admits his feelings for her, but refutes her generosity in claiming he’s a good person and reminds her that he is also guilty in regards to killing many innocent people now. Armin thinks about the outside world he and Eren imagined as children and how different it actually is in reality. Despite that, Armin hopes there is something out there in the world they still do not know about.
