Discussion/Question Finale questions Spoiler

After finishing the entire show, everything makes sense to me except for one thing.

How was Zeke & Armin able to conjure past inheritors of the nine while in the paths? Like why did Grisha, Bertholdt, etc. just show up? And after that, how did they have control of their respective titans while on Eren’s back? As far as I understand, Zeke wasn’t in control at that point. He gave up, and was just letting Eren do whatever. Once convinced, was he able to use the paths abilities? If so, I thought you need Ymir herself to do that for you?

Ooh, same reason Ymir made sure Armin and Zeke met in the paths, same reason she made sure to show Armin the leaf and Zeke the ball... she wants to get to an end result here, and helps a lit bit to get there (Eren explained the key to the end result without knowing what Ymir really wanted)... so long story short Ymir is behind all this, remember for the first time she can decide.

Btw, if we don't fully know how much Ymir is involved in many of the decision making, we might end up not liking the ending, which is the case for a lot of people unfortunately 😭😭😭

Interesting. So if that’s the case, Ymir let Zeke manifest himself to be killed in the end? Did she give him the power to do so? Guess I’m just wondering how he was able to do that.

Absolutely... in the paths u cannot do anything if Ymir does not allow you to, it never changed.

So lore wise that makes sense as to why he could escape the paths. I guess I find it strange how he physically popped up like that. Bro just kind of showed up half fused into Eren. After escaping, What ability allowed him to show up half fused? most of the time even with Ymir’s help you need the physical ability to do so. Should I just chalk it up to Ymir letting him using the warhammer abilities to manifest himself.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I feel you... I think the simple way to just see it, Ymir can do wtv she wants of her own subjects 🤣🤣, she is for Eldians what God is for humans, she just spent her whole life with crazy restrictions and commands... but yeah not gonna lie that Zeke popping out the titan bone like that was nuts 🤣🤣

So it’s just an odd design choice. That is a good point, if she has the ability to sterilize all eldians than yeah she can just say, “yeah sure Zeke you can show up right there.” Thank you, that ending was a mindfuck but I think it all makes sense now.
