Why people? Calm down. There's no strong evidence saying Eren's the father. The translation is a bit confusing but I don't think there's any insinuation that he's 'the' father. That will be like Isayama shitting on us after developing Eren and Mikasa's relationship. And I don't think Eren want to make the same mistake his father did...
umm.... do u still need a panel where Eren says that he is the father? cuz for me even though i am against Eren with Historia but little by little their interactions are convincing enough for me to think that Eren is the father, it might be Frieda's influence that made Eren protect Historia. Also one thing Isayama mentioned that he doesnt like having the main protagonist dating his/her childhood friend. If you re-read the chapter (i cant remember what chapter) where Eren met with Armin and Mikasa and straight up told Mikasa that he hates her. Now i'll admit that broke my heart and i was pissed at that time, nevertheless Kruger was not talking to Grisha when they met for the first time, Kruger was talking to Eren Jeager to "build" a family in order to "protect" Mikasa and Armin. If you take your time in re-reading the latest chapter and the chapters where Eren and Historia are interacting with one another maybe u wont be confused
Which panel. Show it to me. I've been going through it a few times and couldn't interpret it as him implying such.
And that scene you mentioned is to trigger Mikasa's development. To question her attachment. He didn't hate Mikasa, he hated that she was blindly following her instinct to protect the host just like a person with no freewill. He hated that. But Zeke reaffirmed to him that Mikasa's feeling toward him is real. Probably he just needs to know for sure if Mikasa's attachment is real or not. A source where Isayama said so would be good to have.
Well I don't hate Historia, her development is among my favorites. But I don't know about him being with Eren.
So... have u ever re-read the season 4 chapters? u can start at chap 90 and take a deep observation at the interactions between Eren and Historia you'll notice Eren's behavior around her, don't u think its a little odd seeing Eren calm and collected and also reacting differently when her name is being mentioned, that alone is enough to think that Eren deeply cares for Historia. It maybe due to the influence of Frieda (Historia's Older half sister) maybe that sparked Eren to protect Historia, also lets back track a little bit, remember when Grisha was standing up for Dina? that is also what happened with Eren and Historia, after that both Grisha and Dina got married soon after, hinting that Eren will do the same with Historia. That is enough for me to think that Eren is the father, not the farmer boy.
As for Mikasa's development, before that let me ask u a question, what would you do that your friend u knew since childhood has disappeared out of nowhere. what would you do?
scenario's like that could trigger something within us, especially someone we hold dearly in our hearts. Just like what happened to Mikasa she has been denying herself that she doesn't see Eren as a lover she see's her as her family, in the season 2 last ep we see a side of Mikasa where she confessed to Eren we saw how that turned up, the reason for this confession was that she thought they have lost hope and she cant fight at that time as she sustained an injury in her ribs, so as Eren his hands have not fully healed and he doesn't have ODM gear to fight the Titan Dina, that made Mikasa show a side where we can only see through fanfiction or doujinshi's. In a chapter where Eren and Everyone infiltrated Marley we get to see Eren asking Mikasa what he is to her, she is then forced to utter an answer but her response was *a Family* (its not word for word but it was something along those lines) she is again denying her feelings that she doesn't see him as a potential lover but her family. In one chapter that made alot of fans enrage(or so i thought) was part where Eren told Mikasa that he has always hated her, we can see Mikasa's face and and was utterly devastated, that alone is enough to trigger something within Mikasa, its her development as a character in the story(although its a little late but we can see a small change when a few chapters have been released.
I've read several theories about Eren being the dad but most of it are speculations and no concrete evidence. Yours as well. You know Eren has no intention of passing down the titan power to anyone he knows, and obviously not to his own child. He wouldn't want to burden his own child like his father did to him. So why would he do that?? A lot things didn't sit right with this theory.
Well, people can interpret things differently. But knowing Isayama, anything can happen. So I'll keep an open mind. But whatever may happen, Mikasa deserve some justice after putting her life on the line several times to save Eren's ass. Those blood and tears, those are real and out of love.
I think Eren is trying to break Mikasa free from the curse and that is why Eren told her that he hated her hoping to set her free from the Ackerman instincts. About the Eren being the Father, yes it is also a speculation from us readers but the same goes for the Farmer guy, he was speculated to be the father but the drunk Military Police also speculated him but it is too good to be true, In fact the Military Police Officer said that "She was pregnant at an odd time". I think the farmer was just a cover up or a stand-in because not everyone knew the relationship between Historia and Eren, Eren took a step forward and brainwashed a farmer tricking him to believing that he is the father of Historia's baby ultimately leaving behind Historia safe while Eren is in the frontlines. If you could just take your time and listen to Historia's theme song in the second part you can get some hints on whats going on between Eren and Historia.
For the sake of plot, explain to me what does impregnatimg Historia does? Eren isn't interested in creating offspring and passing down his titan power. It's also odd as why would he ask Historia to get pregnant since he hated the idea of slavery and using baby to serve his forefathers' purposes. This action is inconsistent with his belief.
Eren is currently keen on annihilating people outside paradis and probably later choose to die in his friends' hands, and even if they refused to kill him he will still die in a few years. Is this a good time to father a child? I don't understand the unnecessary tragedy, and he's obviously not in love with Historia nor do Historia. And aren't Eren supposed to be aware of the lesbo energy between Historia and Ymir? Them sleeping together for... what exactly? Btw using whatever you hear in Historia's theme as evidence is not a sound argument.
But sure, anything can happen. If there's logical reason behind it and not simply because you want it to happen.
Isn't the story is dragging quite too much? Each chapter has become more and more anti-climactic. The author could've wrapped this up quickly since they already realize their own feelings. My bet is that she doesn't exactly know how to end this, or maybe she's dragging it to make some more money. Love triangle sells well after all.
