lenok993:

I think many people have found parallel with these panels. 

Well it

looks more and more like a

damn temporal loop

with numerous deaths

.

I don’t want to talk about plot of next chapters, I’m not a fortune-teller. There’s some suggestion about eventual

loop and my personal projections hope if this crack theory checks out. I‘ll try to be brief. 

It is worth noting that anime Attack on Titan: Junior High has many parallels with original anime and hints about future/past occasions in manga. I recommend to watch Episode 8

Remember scene when Bert and Reiner

went upstairs and…..

The

Penrose stairs

have appeared! 

Bert: We’ve been going up for a long time, haven’t we?

Reiner: You’re imagining things.

In this scene we can see familiar Droste-effect (Recursion). You can read about Recursion phenomenon at these links: Ouroborus and Mise en abyme

Plus Mikasa says something interesting thing in this episode.

Mikasa: We’re done for. We’re cursed.

And secondly, from old interview we know that Isayama was inspired by Muv-Luv Alternative. The plot of this saga nudged me to think about this theory.

Isayama: I just watch the news and listen to the film critic Tomohiro Machiyama’s commentary, but yes, that’s the idea. My earliest inspiration was the adult game Muv-Luv Alternative, in which aliens invade and humankind is on the brink of annihilation, and yet people are still at each other’s throats. It came with a thick commentary booklet. The game’s universe also had Japan emerge victorious from World War II and retain its imperial system, and then there’s the Eurasian continent already occupied by the aliens, making Japan the front line for the war of resistance.

Full interview with him you can read at this link.

Now, returning to manga….

Do you remember Zeke’s speech? And his promise to save Eren (how many times has he made this promise huh?) 

It’s at this point that I should mention Mikasa’s headaches, I suspect in these moments she sees traumatic returning memories, but they contain plot details and spoilers for us readers..

So we can only imagine

what kind of world the Girl Saw

till this is over. Is thiiis a hint of Butterfly Effect?

Most notably, these special and important moments often have fwooo or whoooosh effects hmm..

Oh some scenes with Levi are somewhat similar to the Déjà vu experiences    

He’s intuitive, by the way. One and the same WHOOOSH 

If this theory will come true it’s horrible….really horrible

Indeed, we have seen BAD ending once before. Someone didn’t even pay attention to this panel..

As has often been said, those who ignore the lessons of history are doomed to repeat it. But even though this world doomed to perish, there are reasons to remain hope 

If there’s a chance that this nightmare will turn out to be the longest dream for the main and other characters

Just because someone special won’t admit a mistake of the past and will break out of the cycle of repetition.
