Who Is the Father of Lady Edith's Baby?
Information technology wouldn't be an understatement to say that the latest episode of Assail on Titan bore (literally!) a shocking reveal. The petite Queen Historia nestling in a wooden rocking chair sporting a discernible bump on her belly – was definitely not the reunion that fans would have fathomed. And the matter-of-fact manner in which the reveal unfolded was enough to elicit a double take.
The flashbacks of a happy Historia felt haunting in the presence of the stoic Queen. The mysterious events of the fourth dimension-gap persist in these staggering reveals. Such a jarring revelation would inevitably overflowing the Internet with questions: Who got Historia pregnant? Was it Eren? And who was that man with her?
These questions continue to elude manga readers besides. However, there are ii contesting theories within the community that I can acquaint you lot with and they're definitely worth the read!
SPOILERS Alee! This page contains spoilers from Attack on Titan.
Brusque Respond
Every bit established, only Historia's childhood friend, the farmer, is confirmed to be the father of Historia'due south child. However, many people believe it to be a ruddy herring because of the elusiveness of the events leading up to her pregnancy. Eren seems to be the other viable candidate because there are as convincing arguments that he may be the father.
1. Who got Historia meaning?
With the manga gearing towards its finale, the mystery behind Historia's pregnancy continues to be an enigma. The 10th episode of flavor 4 establishes Historia'south childhood friend, the farmer, as the father of her baby. And this meagre amount of information is all we accept about the identity of the father, officially – even till Chapter 137.
However, the incredulity of a random character being the child's father, has not sat well with many fans. And why would it? ii capacity away from the ending and nosotros don't even know his name. Was this the conclusion of the Ymir and Historia arc that we had envisioned? Certainly not.
And so, many continue to dig deep inside the dialogues, scouring panels, and placing themselves within the elusive mind of the creator, Hajime Isayama, to find an reply. Several interesting elements have popped up equally a result, which I will exist addressing.
The contend regarding Historia's pregnancy has created 2 factions within the fandom, ones that keep to believe the farmer is the father and the ones that believe Eren is the male parent. Both the factions take as compelling arguments to brand. And, both these answers don't sit down well with me, for reasons I volition land once I get into the meat of the arguments.
One of the main questions I continue ask is – how relevant is Historia'due south pregnancy? Is it of import who the father is? Isayama has created an surround where it'southward well-nigh impossible to cull between yeah and no. Historia's presence in the concluding arc is quite obscure, much similar Levi'due south function. These two characters seem to have, majorly, taken a backseat in the final arc – despite the immense popularity they garner amongst fans. Historia appears in a few flashbacks and the just recent console of hers is where she'due south finally giving birth.
The lack of her presence in the last arc could be suggestive of her relevance to this main arc. Only the result is, is it? There isn't an implication that she is an unimportant character, rather information technology's an implication that her role to the story is now at its completion. A difficult pill to digest, just Isayama isn't one to do any favours. Just a major counterargument to this is that Isayama is biding his time to disembalm a major detail regarding the male parent's identity, i.e, through the final panel of the manga.
It is undeniable that the symbolic relevance of Eren holding his baby at the end of the manga would exist iconic. All the same, the possibility of Eren being the father has its own troubles. But a simple acceptance of farmer-kun (the customs-bestowed name) as the father also feels incomplete because of the style Isayama continues to tease the readers. It can either be ruled as trolling or as a build-up to some major reveal (which wouldn't exist and so major anymore).
So this brings us dorsum to the question: Is the begetter even relevant? In Chapter 130, Isayama finally breaks the water ice on the conversation that leads up to her pregnancy. However, him being sly, we were given cleverly placed panels and choppy conversations that threw us off. It is revealed that Historia is aware of Eren's programme and she cautions him against information technology, much like anyone else would. Zeke's presence on the island was bound to put Historia at risk.
Eren serves as the whistle-blower and asks Historia to run abroad or fight the armed services police to protect herself. Eren's refusal to allow the bicycle of "children eating parents" seemed to bring Historia on his side, reluctantly of course. She is, after all, "the worst girl in the world" as Eren says.
The console and then shifts to a conversation between Zeke and Eren regarding Mikasa'south feelings towards him, and when questioned on how he would respond, Eren replies with how he has simply four years left to live. Right subsequently this panel, is the curiously placed panel of Historia asking what he thinks of her having a baby (as a fashion to evade beingness fed to Zeke). This strangely placed panel is what throws fans off in an array of defoliation.
Moreover, what causes further defoliation is Mikasa's love for Eren is in the limelight in this arc. Eren and Mikasa's interaction in Chapter 123 and his curiosity of her feelings in Chapter 130 seems to gear up a heavy romantic undertone in their human relationship. This makes the whole Historia-Eren state of affairs quite complex to understand.
Many believe that the father isn't relevant every bit the reasoning behind Historia's pregnancy is revealed: information technology was survival. It may be anti-climactic to some, merely that reason holds very great significance. Historia used to be a person that considered herself unworthy of living, often finding crafty ways to die as the expert daughter persona, "Krista Lenz".
Notwithstanding, Ymir'due south intervention and presence in her life seemed to propel her towards survival. And the act of choosing to live her life in her ain terms was in itself a big footstep. Simply that deliberately placed console continues to derange me.
Historia'due south stoic and unhappy expression has also sparked a reaction from fans regarding her mental country and her decision to take a infant. Although, I do believe that Historia's sadness doesn't stem from the baby but from knowing Eren's plan. This is because it's she, who suggests having the baby and she doesn't seem also distraught by the thought of it. The notion that the father isn't relevant isn't a far-fetched thought. But now, let's explore the two battling theories of who the begetter could possibly be, notwithstanding his relevancy or lack thereof.
2. Who Was the Man With Historia?
The likelihood of the farmer being the father is high. This is because, firstly, it's already been confirmed that he is the father. Unless it is a cerise herring, that seems to be the terminal discussion on this case. If he is the father, then that surely means that the identity of the father was never relevant after all. This would bring as dorsum to the significance of the conclusion which is to protect Historia and to allow her to live.
Inheritance of the Beast Titan would entail her lifespan existence cutting down to xiii years. Her decision to go against her prior stand is virtually symbolic of her want to live on. And even though the farmer is a 'nameless' character. It has been established that Historia has a history with him, albeit ane that wasn't explicitly shown to us. But it is a connection, yet.
A babyhood swell that redeemed himself is a decent enough background to the story. However, the lack of emphasis on his proper noun is slightly concerning. In Chapter 108, we're shown panels of Historia approaching the farmer with Eren witnessing the whole scene. Judging by their clothes, it can exist inferred that this happened correct afterward Eren and Historia'due south chat that we run into in Chapter 130.
Information technology seems unlikely that Isayama is showing us 'fake' panels to throw us off. Isn't it highly possible that the farmer remembers the human activity? Information technology is dubious that Paradis Island had become so scientifically avant-garde that it could do bogus insemination.
Now, people can argue that Eren manipulated his memories, however, given the timeline, Eren did non take access to such a powerful ability of the Founding Titan withal. He himself tells Historia that he'south willing to wipe her memories but that she'll have to "stay repose till so".
This shows that Eren had no hold on memory manipulation then. And while it is true that the Founding Titan can dispense memories, I'm not entirely certain most it creating them. There is no evidence till at present suggesting the cosmos of memories by Founding Titan holders. And then, it'south condom to say that the panels shown did happen.
This would also explain why Historia lives with the farmer and why he's praying exterior the room while she's giving birth in Chapter 134. Additionally, information technology is very clear where Eren stands regarding having a infant. He's expressed his distaste for creating babies for the sole purpose of preserving royal blood and the Titan legacy. It seems about, out of character, for him to then become and impregnate Historia.
While I admit the importance of honey and family is nowadays in the story, it seems rather shoddy to make Eren's secret romantic rendezvous such a big highlight, specially during the end of the story. Besides, keeping in heed, the accent on his relationship with Mikasa. Eren'southward reply to Zeke when asked about whether he'd respond to Mikasa's feelings was that he only had a few years left. By that logic, having a baby should be out of question.
Eren has witnessed the effect of fathers on children, via Grisha. He has suffered under the burden of responsibility through his father, yet he wasn't traumatized in the similar latitude as Zeke. Eren has witnessed Zeke's trauma of having an absentee father that never actually noticed him. This again seems uncharacteristic of Eren, to overlook these aspects he's witnessed and to repeat the same bicycle once again.
Moreover, from the little glimpses of Eren's monologue we get and his state of listen, it'south evident that the people on his priority list are Armin and Mikasa, afterwards, the 104th Cadet Corps. Eren Kruger'south statement to Grisha, "to save Mikasa and Armin" seems to be a statement intended for Eren. So, information technology would be strange that of a sudden, Eren changes his motive and wants to destroy the world to protect Historia and the babe.
Eren's incredibly inexpressive when it comes to affection, but he is a kind man to his friends, so saving Historia would come up inside that ambit. An argument against the farmer would be the timing of the pregnancy. Chapter 134 establishes the fact that Historia lied nearly her pregnancy. Levi mentions in Chapter 112, that Historia would give nascency in a few months.
Nonetheless, Chapter 134 reveals that it'southward a lie when Historia goes into labour. Pregnancies in Japan is usually calculated to be ten months. It can exist argued that the prevarication was a ruse to throw the Military Police off from the making preparations after her birth, to feed her to Zeke.
Finally, the panel of Mikasa and Eren is a major contention to the possibility of Eren existence the begetter. Some believe that the romantic undertone of the scene is misconstrued. Yet, Isayama revisits that scene in Mikasa'south monologue. As if, Mikasa's respond to Eren's question, "What am I to you lot?" had a great significance on how things would play out. This accent and Eren's persistent preoccupation with Mikasa'south feelings and her scarf definitely has a romantic subtext. This is then, at odds, with the possibility of Eren beingness the father.
iii. Is Eren the Father?
At that place is an incredibly greater force bankroll the possibility of Eren being the father. The reasoning behind this is Isayama's constant tease regarding Historia's pregnancy, which commonly takes a backseat but when brought up is never fully disclosed. And some other mysterious factor is the prevarication regarding the timing of the pregnancy.
People theorize that Eren is the true male parent of Historia'southward child and due to political reasons, information technology would be less 'messy' to have the farmer act as the begetter of Historia's child. Information technology is evident that there is no romantic liaison between Historia and the farmer – which is why she hasn't married the farmer.
Now, if you ask me why would the farmer even cooperate? The reply to that lies in the episode. The farmer wasn't a childhood friend, but a childhood neat. In an endeavour to get Historia's attention, he would throw rocks at her. To embark on a path of redemption, it'south quite plausible that he would agree to human activity every bit a beard.
The initial inclinations towards Eren arise from the chemistry between Historia and Eren that people have caught onto. They share incredible similarities – they've both had moments where they felt unworthy of life, burdened by their fate, and assumed themselves to exist "the enemy of humanity". They both have older siblings that they share a bond with yet differ in terms of values. Eren and Historia seem to exist confidantes – beingness able to empathise their vulnerabilities. This explains why it'south Historia, out of the 104th, that he confides in regarding his plan.
At present coming dorsum to Historia'due south pregnancy – what seems off is the timing. Yelena talks consistently most how the plan began 10 months ago. Floch likewise states that Eren told him his plan x months ago. This is the exact time Historia gets meaning. Yelena even states that over the grade of 10 months, Eren had hugger-mugger meetings with Zeke. Eren didn't disappear until the Survey Corps' infiltrate Marley, every bit shown in Chapter 123. This gives him enough of time to meet Historia – the emphasis on "10 months agone" in the story comes off slightly odd.
Only then what would Eren being the father build toward? Isayama isn't one to emphasize platitude storylines or romance, for that affair. Then, if Eren does turn out to exist the father, it would have a narrative significance. Is it tied to the concluding console? Maybe. The terminal panel shows a man holding a baby and stating, "You are free". This could be an ode to a babe built-in in a gratuitous globe that Eren manages to bring along. Eren is able to achieve what his male parent, Grisha, failed to achieve.
Another argument brought forth is Eren's unwillingness to sacrifice Historia to Zeke. A major chunk of these arguments rest on Eren and Historia'due south bond – which many believe is romantic. There have been parallels drawn between Eren and Historia and Grisha and Dina'due south bail every bit well.
Isayama's handling of Historia'south pregnancy is what feeds the doubt. The strategic placement of Historia's console right afterwards Zeke and Eren'southward conversation nigh Mikasa'due south feelings is odd, to say the to the lowest degree. It does suggest something amiss from the pregnancy story. Eren being the father would then propose, the relevance of Historia'south pregnancy, maybe beyond just her determination to live a long life.
The occasional emphasis on Historia during the final arc does reveal the state of mind Isayama is in. With the final arc final, we run across Historia giving nascency. These occasional pullbacks from the master fight to the flashbacks, Historia's pregnancy, Eren, Mikasa and Armin's monologues serve a certain significance. Now what kind of significance is the question. It is certain that at that place is something 'off' nearly Historia'south pregnancy and what it symbolizes.
4. Decision
There is something off in both these possibilities – not in the sense that they're not likely. But in its intention or its underlying significance. If the farmer is the father, and so why tease the pregnancy similar this? But if Eren is the father, information technology begs the question, why would someone who wishes to detach himself from everyone exit a baby backside? It seems very uncharacteristic of Eren to practice so. Granted, this judgement arises from my own perception of his graphic symbol.
But my inclinations do lie more towards the farmer. For me, Historia'south decision to live life in her own terms is a meaning determination to her arc – with a slight twist of course. Just significant, nonetheless. We underestimate the influence of Ymir on Historia'southward life. To assume that Historia'southward beginning instinct is to take a baby with Eren is besides a gross misperception of her graphic symbol. Historia is not actively seeking a romantic endeavour with Eren nor should her character be reduced to that. Historia'south grapheme arc, while beingness influenced by Ymir and Eren, is her own.
Much of the arguments for Eren existence the father stems from the ambiguity of the outcome and his chemical science with Historia. I practice agree there is a general ambivalence to the consequence notwithstanding I differ on the notion that Eren and Historia's bond is romantic. They both human activity like confidantes; however, it does not seem to accept a romantic underpinning to me. Eren admires Historia much like he admired Reiner and Annie.
Eren's headstrong personality really overshadows his kind and caring traits. He's the kind of person who'd walk in and murder kidnappers for a girl he but met, he'd jump into a titan's mouth and pull out his best friend, he'll show kindness to an broken-hearted frenemy (Jean), he'll hesitate to fight a traitor (for lack of a improve word), he rages when his friends are hurt – Thomas, the Levi Squad, Marco, and more. That'south but the kind of person he is. To not want to cede Historia would come naturally to him.
But the difference in his relationship with her and his relationship with Mikasa and Armin is what I'd like to highlight. Eren usually loses his sanity and his ideals when Mikasa and Armin are threatened. He'd never give a 2nd thought to sacrificing them for the sake of humanity.
Keep annotation of his contemplation of sacrificing Historia in Chapter ninety – conflicted notwithstanding composed. And so contrast that with his reaction to the extermination of Eldians, which includes Mikasa and Armin, in Chapter 131 – the desperation and rage show on his face up. It is undeniable that Eren'south mission is to "save Mikasa and Armin" – while I'chiliad not suggesting the 104th don't have a special hold on his centre. The contempo episode attests to their importance. But Mikasa and Armin'south position in his life is so paramount that information technology overrides any of his individual desires and altruistic desires for humanity.
And if Historia and Eren are a parallel to Dina and Grisha, then Mikasa and Eren are a parallel to Carla and Grisha. Carla loves Grisha not as a revolutionary man but equally a man who just saved her life. Sound familiar? Carla loved Grisha and Eren as ordinary as they were, at the moment. Much like Mikasa, who loves Eren for the very same reason. This is why she advises him to drop the thought of joining the war machine. She cares for him regardless of who he becomes. Carla's overprotectiveness mirrors to Mikasa's – Eren's reaction to them gives it away.
While these reasons are enough to see them as family, recent interactions and monologues suggest a romantic underpinning to their relationship. The lingering wait at the scarf scene, the question 'What am I to you?', the lash out against her in Chapter 123 are not reactions that stalk from platonic feelings considering it stems from a passionate i.
The purpose of reinstating their bond was not to start a ship state of war, but to recontextualized the priority these characters take in Eren'due south life. It is evident that Eren's motivations, if specific at all, are rooted in Mikasa and Armin, and subsequently the 104thursday. Historia and Eren share a great relationship, no doubt, merely it would be a stretch to merits information technology'due south only romantic.
Moreover, the farmer condign the father would mean that it is Eren and Grisha in the concluding console. This ties upward with the cyclical narrative of Attack on Titan. For now, my inclinations prevarication with the farmer, driven by the notion of "choose the bottom evil" only evil here is inconsistency. Eren being the father wouldn't be shocking, merely I'll certainly exist curious to the thought process underlying the decision. Maybe a few rereads of Assail on Titan tin can only tell.
The question 'Who got Historia pregnant?' Is a Pandora's box inside this customs, ultimately, leading to ship wars. Is it relevant or not? Only the dawn of a new globe Eren is bringing forth could clear this ambiguity along with the cycle of hatred.
