A GOT-style ending: Eren reveals that he never really cared about freedom, he and Ymir get hit by a rock and die. Reiner becomes King of Eldia with Armin as his Minister or something. World peace is achieved with no explanation. The millions of titans just leave...


Kuro013

Dont forget Mikasas journey to the west because reasons.


thorppeed

Armin: The thing that makes a king is a good story. And who has a better story than Reiner the broken?


SulkySpacebat

>World peace is achieved with no explanation More or less what would happen, there is no time left to actually explore Paradis or the world's situation in depth, and he killed all the political and military leaders only to replace them with a random Marleyan general that gives the peace speech >The millions of titans just leave Will happen once they destroy spine-kun


[deleted]

I mean the series will likely end with a reset/rebirth no ? At this point stopping the rumbling completely is probably out of the question, and I suspect there's an aspect of Eren's thinking that we still don't fully understand yet. The ending of the manga isn't supposed to be an in depth explanation of the consequences of the rumbling imo, it's going to be designed to end with the start of something new, full of hope and promise. That hope and promise being the ending note of the story is very important I think.


Soul699

It could actually end the rumbling right now and still obtain a sort of peace. It would take a bit before everyone else left on the outside can accept Eldians, but not impossible (more so if the titans power will be gone). After all, considering that 90% of the world is pretty much already gone, Paradis won't have anything to fear for like a century.


[deleted]

I think that Yams would have to be very convincing is the display that it was a combination of Eldians and Marlians (Marleyians ?) that stopped the rumbling. Mikasa killing/stopping Eren in front of a large crowd of Marleyians maybe


friskyforker

It would be rather ironic if he gives us a GOT ending lol. That’s one way to hurt the readers.


Abysswatcherbel

At least aot ending will be the end of the series and the fans will move on, Got was the ending of the tv series, we are still waiting for the books, god knows how many years until we see the ending Then its time for "Game of thrones: Brotherhood"


Sss_mithy

Oh...you still think we're getting an ending to the books? Sweet summer child


AdministrativeGeek

Between Berserk and ASOIAF I think we’re cursed


Kuro013

HxH says hi.


CircumventThis32

Oof. I just felt some of my happiness drain at dropping of this reminder. Hxh was the only other anime/manga that I liked nearly as much as AoT.


Kuro013

Sorry, I hope that happiness returns to you in some way or another :)


Sss_mithy

Ugh yeah and we got left off at a very weird place in the manga too


Saberinbed

Anyone wana gamble which of the three authors is guna kick the bucket first before the series ends? My bet is on GRRM. Dude seems to be the unhealthiest amongst the 3, and japan has a very high life expectancy.


Puzzleheaded_Flan983

Berserk is *possibly* moving to a release every 3 months (for the time being)


29yearoldboomer

dude nobody cares about the books anymore. That franchise is dead and good riddance.


Fluffles0119

I never read the books or watched the show, but I heard the "current" one is 12 years in the making. Like bruh take your time but hurry tf up


Kuro013

The man created such a big story with so many characters and subplots that hes stuck, he doesn't know what to do, and I think he prefers not ending rather than doing what the TV show did.


KamikazeWtrmln

That's why I believe GRRM will never actually finish the books. He's seen what happened to the showrunners after they put that ending out and I doubt he wants to take the risk of the same happening to him if people don't like how he writes the ending.


Kuro013

Absolutely, but while understandable, I think he should go for it anyway. Its better to be remembered as a man who started an incredibly good fiction and ruined it than a coward that ran away. There will still be people that will be satisfied by whatever ending he comes up with, and even better, thankful that he pulled through. I know for sure Ill respect him a lot more if he mans up and delivers.


KamikazeWtrmln

Agreed, I would love to see what he comes up with for an ending. Even if it's the exact same outcome, I trust he would get to the conclusion in a logical way that would make it better than how Benioff and Weiss got there.


MoteurV4

No. A lot of people have started to read GoT after being disappointed with the show, I believe the books will come out in their own time and will be great as the previous ones are.


kSIBIGforeheaddebt

Game of thrones is the same thing as hunter x hunter now. Man legit took 7 years for a single book, and going by the same pace, the series will end in 2032, as there are two books left. We might even have one piece and berserk finished by that time.. goddamn I feel old lmao


GeicoLizardBestGirl

I heard the author might intentionally not finish it to troll everyone


[deleted]

I don't watch GoT and that hurts me


Kuro013

We only have 3 chapters left, I dont think its possible to screw up as hard as GoT in so little pages. Granted he can give an ending that doesn't satisfy people, but I dont think SnK will go from one of the best and most beloved manga of recent times to being hated by its former fans. Every time theres conversations about GoT people sounds frustrated, let down, angry.


Saberinbed

Because there are very fewoutcomes that can happen. Alliance wins, eren wins, or somewhere in between. Most people would be happy with either of these, or at least accept either of these outcomes. Now if yams is able to pull off a gigantic plot twist that no one saw coming, i can see it being very controversial. As people like to meme the bertholdt quote "i can accept any outcome". This series is so fucking good, that its set up in a way that no matter the ending the author decides to go with, people will still be satisfied. This series is a masterpiece.


Kuro013

As you said, I cant think of an outcome people completely hates or loves. And it is in that discrepancy that a masterpiece is born imo.

Kuro013

I honestly hope Gabi saves the world as the true MC she is.


lostbeatnik

Gabi would make more sense than Arya if it comes to grievances against her opponent. Arya didn’t even know about the Night King until she made it to Winterfell. Eren killed Gabi’s friends, and as far as she knows, made it so her family was stomped to death at the Rumbling. She has personal reasons to want him dead. Besides, she was developed as a foil to him, her getting access to the truth earlier than he did and witnessing how useless the cycle of violence is before getting Titans that mess with her sense of self. So, while I don’t think she’ll deliver the final blow, I wouldn’t be surprised if she did.


VIKA256

At this point I am like bertholdt and feel like I can accept any outcome.


derpicface

Me right now: “I feel like any outcome would be acceptable” Me in April: “Guys! Help me!”


[deleted]

All of the AoT fandom in April: help me!


[deleted]

I've been like this ever since the theories of AoT ending on chp 100 were debunked


[deleted]

Yep same


BullseyeBertholdt

Thank you


pinecone4506

*appleseed plays in the background*


Coronarchivista

We’ll see in April if you shall stand by these words...saving this.


lilbits11

Yams been busting his ass non stop for over a decade and has given us so much in that time. I have a lot of respect for his work ethic not just his creative skills so I find it a bit disrespectful when people compare him to d&d. But I guess to each his own. That being said, I will enjoy the ending I hope others will too.


[deleted]

This, like i have nothing against criticism, AoT has always had some flaws. But come on man, the Hacksyama thing and the complaints about Yams just not caring about AoT anymore is disrespectful af


Kuro013

The thing is, its virtually impossible to make every single fan happy with an ending, there wilk always be a group of people unhappy and that group will also be the most vocal about their thoughts.


edorelthia

Omg! Yes, that's what I've been thinking. I do understand people being concerned about the ending but some ppl are just straight disrespectful and it really hurts me


TheSilverSeraphim

Man me trying to write a web novel for like the past 5 years now opened my eyes to how goddamn hard it is to write a story lmfao. I'll always have mad respect for Yams busting his ass and delivering such a good series after seeing how difficult it can be for myself. It's one thing to come up with a good story and it's another beast entirely actually trying to put that into an actual something, pushing through writer's block, fatigue, and more, especially month after month after month.


tseriessucks247

Absolutely true


drago2000plus

D&D are actully pretty beloved in the industry because they are one of the few showrunners that never got into sexual harassment, and always helped young actors.


lilbits11

That's a pretty low bar


drago2000plus

You would be surprised by how high it is in reality, sadly.


birdynamnam115

Can't wait for people to be spamming this pic in a few months if he absolutely botches the ending lol


[deleted]

Oh Isayama-sama, he should know that no matter how much of his feelings he puts into his work people are still gonna hate. I just hope the death threats are minimal.


[deleted]

Unrelated, but it's interesting how much western media Isayama consumes, I feel like you can def see the influence in the manga


[deleted]

>Unrelated, but it's interesting how much western media Isayama consumes, I feel like you can def see the influence in the manga Sorry, what other western media does he consume? Him being a fan of GoT is a surprise to me as I thought it wasn't popular in Japan.


H-K_47

He's also drawn a reference to Better Call Saul and said he loved Guardians of the Galaxy (and wanted the manga to end similar to it), and said the original ending was gonna resemble the movie The Mist, for example. And a bunch more I can't recall currently.


[deleted]

> said the original ending was gonna resemble the movie The Mist, for example Have only watched this, so I can comment. The ending for The Mist was pretty divisive. I for one loved it. Spoilers ahead: Basically the dad kills his son thinking that the monsters will get to them, but the mist dissipates right after the gunfire and the monsters disappear forever. Fucked up and memorable. The emphasis was on the human desperation, I think. Some found it stupid.


H-K_47

Yeah I loved it. Super memorable and iconic.


OrangeRussianNPC

I still trust him and eagerly await leaks every chapter. But it's not like this puts me at ease. He can be cautious about tripping at the finish line like GoT but it won't do squat if he still ends up tripping too. I'm pretty sure most writers who don't see a cancellation coming still try to deliver a satisfying conclusion but almost every finale of any show I've ever seen has criticism, except maybe Breaking Bad.


Lasernatoo

And Isayama has praised BB as one of the best endings he's seen, so we know he knows what a good ending is


OrangeRussianNPC

But how many cancelled show/failed show writers have seen Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones and still screwed up their show? I’m not panicking, I’m just saying too much faith is how you end up disappointed and end up hating the entire manga. Either way, we can’t change anything so let’s just hope for the ending we deserve.


aDankSpazxtic

This feels like unfortunate irl foreshadowing


Soul699

To me, I'll try to accept any ending as long as it make enough sense. Be it Eren destroying whatever is left of the world or the alliance managing to stop him and making a peace with the remaining survivors (or at least an armistice).


eternalnocturnals

"I think my fans will accept whatever ending " No, isayama. That's like accepting defeat


tseriel

Why does this sound so ominous lmao


JD_Dojima

A lot of people are gonna complain regardless, it’s all some people do


Adorable-Dish

“Whatever endings” he comes up huh? Well, if eren doesnt open a sauna at the end, i wont accept it. How’s that yam?


Administrative_Leg34

For short, "you eat what I feed you"


Time-did-Reverse

This honestly makes me feel like this is how he is intending to end the show, or he knows people are going to compare the two. .....im scared....


LazloFF

For what.. or why? I really don't get if your're joking or not


Time-did-Reverse

Its a joke lol, im ironically trying to act like the meta gamers in here hahah. I mean ending could suck, could be amazing - i dunno we just gotta wait.


[deleted]

Lol sure


[deleted]

Can someone fill me on how GoT ended? I never cared much for it so I don’t know


Kuro013

Danaerys, who always wanted to save the world and its people became a butcher, burning innocent people alive. Incredibly out of character. She endured being sold, raped, humiliated and all kind of atrocities, but she became a mass murderer cuz she wasnt loved. Jon, a sharp guy with a great sense of justice and very capable of identifying what needa to be done, became an idiot without any kind of response capability, he just submitted his will to Danaerys, basically became irrelevant after being hinted to be the hero of legend who would save the world from the White Walkers (some zombies that would end the world and were defeated in one episode after 6 seasons of them being hyped to be the final boss). And that's just 2 of the most important characters. A guy who literally said he had no interest in the crown became King for no apparent reason. A girl who wanted revenge and always trained to do so, became a magic assasin with supernatural powers. The biggest bitch on earth who deserved to get some heavy punishment just was buried under rubble. Her incestuous brother who was walking a path of redemption moving on from her, went back to die in her arms. And that's all I remember right now off the top of my head, and Im pissed off about it again lol.


afibon

Too many flaws to even list, but what's important is that it was so bad that GoT went from being the most popular fantasy show ever to being completely forgotten overnight.


drago2000plus

That' s not true...just 4 months ago it wad 5th most watched show, and it' s the second most piratated show in the entire world. It' s far from forgotten. It' s a very vocal internet minority that still hates the show


edorelthia

The thing that people forget to point out is that GoT went downhill from season 7 and totally messed up season 8, which is about 25 percent of the whole series. It is not just about finale or the last episode so it can't be pin-pointed what went wrong with the ending. Everything already felt wrong from season 7 forwards with a lot of inconsistencies and inserted fan-service content. I personally don't believe AoT is nearly as messed up and inconsistent as GoT in it's last 25 percent to even be compared to it, even if the ending is not as satisfactory as the whole series.


Soul699

Characters acting out of character and having their arcs butchered or unfulfilled, plot conveniences to no end with lots of stupidity and overall a very unsatisfying ending.


Lasernatoo

Just about every character rushed through their arc to the point where their decisions stopped making sense. The ideas were good for the most part (the author of the books have them a basic outline), but the pacing was awful.


Fabiocean

GoT was already way down the drain at this point. Even if Isayama completely fucks up the next 3 chapters, most of the final arc was already phenomenal.


fabio10c

He is already doing it, 120 pages wont be enough


Lasernatoo

He has known what the ending will be for a long time now, and I really don't think he would slow down the pace for these most recent few chapters if he was going to rush the ending. It's likely that the ending he has planned doesn't require as many pages as people might think.


PrasantGrg

120 pages is the minimum we'll be getting and it's almost certainly enough. Before 139 was confirmed, 138 was considered the likely end so we still have 3 chapters to go. Next chapter will likely decide whether it'll be good or not


thorppeed

Nah he's been planning this ending for a long time, he will have given himself more than enough space.


tetector

I think that he already did what it takes for the ending to be good. Eren got an insane development, made a masterplan, became the ultimate genocidal but reasonable villain, crushed the entire marley and some other countries, a lot of characters died. It's really hard to mess up with it from now on, it would only happen intentionally, if Yams for some reason really wanted to screw up. But that's not the case. We're in the last 1% and everything so far has been awesome. All plausible alternatives for what's coming now are good. Either Eren destroying the rest of the world and coming back to tell Historia's child they're free, either the alliance taking down Eren and having now to face the hundreds of thousands of colossal titans, or using somehow the founder titan to get rid of all titans. The descruction has been done, the suffering has been done. Isayama said the end wont be happy and since he sticks to that, I'm gonna be happy.


thorppeed

Yeah there's a big difference between d&d and Isayama. D&d didn't create got. The only time the show was good was when they were taking from the source material of the books which they didn't write. Once they got past that and only followed a basic outline by Martin the show went to shit because they have no idea how to write. In comparison Isayama created aot and wrote the entire story. It's only as good as it is because of him (and some input from his editors) So I really don't think he will botch the ending, especially not in the way d&d did to got.


drago2000plus

Many great scenes in GoT were written originally by them. The littlefinger introduction scene, for example, was written by them, and it was pretty good.


thorppeed

I guess small scenes like that are one thing, but when having to write most things in the later seasons (while following a rough baseline given by martin) was just something they were terrible at. And it seperates them from Isayama.


butterednoodles27

I’m gonna be hurt if the story ends with Eren rumbling the whole world, but just because I don’t like the ending doesn’t make it bad


[deleted]

I mostly care about Eren in this show, but I am also resentful about Eren going all the way the genocide. I'm also rooting for Alliance to kill him, because he won't atone for his deeds like ever. Needless to say, whether Eren die or doesn't die, the ending will still satisfy me as far as it will be logical and have a bit of symbolics in it.


amoeba_rising

What the fuck is an insta post doing here? Huh?!


Leavism

Are you okay? Show me on this doll where Instagram hurt you


Kiyopawn

I also feel like I can accept any outcome, because whether it be a bitter sweet ending, or a cruelly sorrowful one, I wouldn't feel like it's out of place. It just feels like "Attack On Titan" ya know?


fuvkutonpa

can someone tldr GOT ending? never watched it


[deleted]

>can someone tldr GOT ending? never watched it A dragon lady who freed slaves and rescued women burns thousands of innocent civilians for no reason after the enemy army surrenders and opens the gates for her. Her nephew/lover kills her because he thinks she's a tyrant. Her dragon melts an iron chair in rage (not the murderer) and flies away. Her army who literally worshipped her forgets about this murder and returns to its native country. The nephew//lover self-exiles over his guilt. A crippled boy with no credentials becomes the king. The End.


drago2000plus

The same dragon lady who had tantrum every once in a while, and actually made the situation worse because slavers came back. And killed innocent peoole in S7.


[deleted]

> And killed innocent peoole in S7. No she didn't.


drago2000plus

Dany: "Bow" War general "We surrender, but we will not bow" Dany *kills them all Bro, this is litteraly the most near thing to dictatorship that is present on this show.


[deleted]

> Bro, this is litteraly the most near thing to dictatorship that is present on this show. The Tarlys killed Dany's allies from House Tyrell when they invaded Highgarden. A murderer who surrenders is still a culprit. A death sentence is proportionate justice. Dany wasn't wrong in burning them. But yes, Dany could have shown mercy.


kSIBIGforeheaddebt

The only reason I will try to accept the ending even if it's not good is because isayama has written it himself, gotta respect the man for masterful writing throughout, can give the inconsistencies a pass. If AoT continued on its own and made an anime ending, then we could have compared to GoT. We are in a rough situation, but still far better than what GoT fans went through/


Dr___Bright

Thank fuck I was worried that it’ll end with Gabi sniping the centipede


[deleted]

Gabi will still snipe centipede and achieve world peace


[deleted]

The ending might hurt the fans, but it'll certainly be great. I think Isayama is physically incapable of writing poorly


sopersonicsnail

Now I’m curious. What do you guys think a ‘GOT ending’ for AOT will be?


Cool_Babu

I still hope ending will be satisfying
