Listed on an X/Twitter thread of anime characters receiving their just desserts is Eren’s death. This selection sparks controversy, as numerous individuals sympathize with his actions.

“Several replies firmly stated that Eren did nothing wrong, emphasizing that he was only trying to protect his island and people. Another person added that he did not deserve the consequences he faced.”

According to another individual, Eren’s decision to unleash The Rumbling was the correct one. This means that Paradis will now have the upper hand in terms of scientific progress, rather than constantly being behind in terms of technological development.

It’s clear that their words have a logical basis. Marley utilized Paradis as a means to experiment and produce Titans, while also deceiving them into believing they were the only remaining hope for humanity due to the indifference of the mainland.

After discovering this, Eren’s obsession with burning everything down grew, even to the disappointment of his closest friends Mikasa and Armin. Creator Hajime Isayama does not shy away from exploring the intricate emotions surrounding this situation.

The Attack on Titan manga concluded in 2021 and the anime ended in 2023. If you are looking for something to fill the void, Dandadan, Lazarus, and Terminator Zero all offer a similar horror aesthetic that you may find enjoyable.
