The long-awaited giant finally came to an end today. From the first day of the first year to the freshman year, the giant has been with me for 7 years.
For the ending, many people are brushing the end, but I don't think so.
Here is the dividing line —————————————————————
Most of the controversy still lies with Allen. In fact, Allen's purpose has been fully achieved. 1. Whether it is to use your own death to make your companions heroes, let them live. 2. And use Di Ming to weaken the military power of all countries in the world, so that they have no way to launch an attack on Pa Island immediately after the end of the Di Ming, successfully giving Pa Island time for military preparations to respond to the enemy, although the price is very cruel, and the world loses % 80 population. 3. Finally, let the power of giants disappear completely, fulfill the oath as a child, and expel the giants from the world, leaving no one behind. After achieving the first 3 ultimate goals, the rest is not particularly important, such as Reiner, Ani's survival (I still don't think Alan regards them as his companions), his own life. From this point of view, Alan did not fail, nor was he a clown. It's just that the price of this road is too cruel, not only the sacrifice of himself and most people in the world, but even Sasha, one of his most diagnosed companions, was not spared, so Allen would be so sad when he learned of Sasha's death. Strange reaction, I knew the ending earlier, but I had to sacrifice Sasha for more companions. The same is true for Alan's mother, which seems to be more cruel, even close to Alan's own hands. Some people say that if Dana eats Bertolt and changes back into human form to find Grisha, the ending seems to be better, But this also cannot achieve Alan's purpose of expelling the giants, and letting Grisha take power will only allow the power of the giants to continue and allow the Eldia Empire to dominate the world. Although it is consistent with the first two purposes, the inheritance of the giants is still the same. will continue.
Allen also gave the Salvation Squad a choice. If the Salvation Squad did not choose to stop Allen, then Allen would level the world, which also answered why Allen did not destroy the entire world but only left 20% of the population. Leaving the bane of future wars.
Allen paid an extremely painful price, lost many companions, and was treated as a demon by the world and killed by his companions at the same time.
But that's the choice made by those who, as he said, pushed themselves to hell step by step.
Regarding the choice, Ymir chose Mikasa, although she did not know the reason, she chose to let Mikasa be the chooser. Mikasa has 3 choices in this work. The first choice is to choose to survive in the face of the giant and continue to recall Alan after learning that Alan is dead (this corresponds to the ending), and the second choice is that in Alan When asked her what kind of existence he thought of Mikasa, Mikasa in the main line chose the option of family, while the if line chose to go away with Alan. This is also the memory Allen showed Mikasa. The third option is to kill Allen. What did Ymir get from Mikasa's choice? Ymir was born without love. For King Fritz's order, she mistakenly thought it was love, and she stayed on the road, but in the last words, 2,000 years are waiting for one person - Mikasa, Ellen let Yumi Er follows Mikasa's choice, freeing Mikasa (from having only Ellen in her head, to blending in with the world), while allowing Ymir to be free from Mikasa's choice (getting rid of the false belief in King Fritz that bound her). , the love that is needed, and understand the true love) That's why Mikasa showed a sincere smile when he killed Ellen. And all of this is Mikasa's choice without regret, including guarding Ellen under the big tree. Of course, the above points of Ymir and Mikasa are all my own opinions. The real explanation depends on the readers themselves. After all, Brother Chuang's writing on this point is not particularly clear. The giant is now over, although the ending cannot satisfy everyone (for me, this kind of smooth ending is enough), but the excellent plot ahead of it and the excellent characters he has portrayed have left readers with a deep impression. Impression, I personally think that whether a work is good or not depends on its ending, not to mention that the ending is actually not bad. It just feels a little thunderous at the beginning. After the storm passes, maybe after the audience thinks about it, the wind comment of the ending may become better. Maybe. The above is purely personal opinion, if you don't like it, don't spray it.
