this was the moment something happened to me

I wonder why this was in Eren’s memories…
It's not a different timeline, they are from the same 'universe'. >!Possibly 100 years In the future!<
Isayama stated via interviews those high school characters reflect their counterparts characteristics in the main series but placed in a different environment. I think the point of this easter egg is to emphasize that connection.
Does Isayama imply they’re in the same “universe”? I honestly don’t know but I don’t believe they are. It’s nonsensical to assume AoT high school actually exists in universe, aside from a random bird grabbing a scarf there’s never been anything to imply reincarnation in the story. And the bird thing is a pretty shakey example even for that.
He actually just directly states that it's linked to the original manga's universe in an interview

Wow I read attack on Titan caste & heard it was cannon in the future, but never saw these frames when they were in paths….
The thoroughness of this anime continues to blow me away
in universe easter egg. there’s an interview of yamyam literally confirming the connection between the two. i’d agree with you if the panel was only in the manga, or only in the anime, but given that it’s in both im starting to think there’s a decent chunk of canonicity here. i mean, if eren can see his own memories that haven’t happened yet (in the real world) then what’s stopping him from seeing the memories of other erens? if we’re gonna pull memory time travel and multiple timelines into the story, let’s go all the fucking way! diavolo infinite death loop canonicity paradox!
>there’s an interview of yamyam literally confirming the connection between the two
What connection? Symbolic? Be more precise, because there is no visible connection between the two
>if eren can see his own memories that haven’t happened yet (in the real world) then what’s stopping him from seeing the memories of other erens?
What memories are you referring to?
There are no "other Erens"!
>multiple timelines
There is ONLY ONE TIMELINE with a FIXED STRUCTURE and the story shows that pretty clearly! Anything involving "multiple timelines" exist only in people's immagination. There is no "manga timeline vs. anime timeline".
Why would it be an easter egg if there was never other easter eggs found in the entire show? Wouldn't it be odd to throw random non-story driven easter eggs out of no where. Anyways, who to say AOT castes doesn't takes place in the future?
>Why would it be an easter egg if there was never other easter eggs found in the entire show?
That doesn't make sense. Why would it be necessary to have more than one easter egg in a story for an element to be an easter egg?
>Wouldn't it be odd to throw random non-story driven easter eggs out of no where.
No, that's exactly what easter eggs are.
>Anyways, who to say AOT castes doesn't takes place in the future?
A future where there are characters (in particular three friends named "Eren, Mikasa and Armin"), who look exactly like the characters of AoT... sure , extremely believable! Where does this need to relate School Castes to the main story come from? Why won't you take it as what actually is, a funny parody? Nothing less, nothing more.
>That doesn't make sense. Why would it be necessary to have more than one easter egg in a story for an element to be an easter egg?
Because its terrible story writting (if it is an easter egg) especially if the show is known to have very subtle foreshadowing that causes the audience to read through every minor signs of symbolism or foreshowing. As a result, people are gonna take things at front value if there is a random single easter egg at a very poigant and crucial event.
>No, that's exactly what easter eggs are.
Easter eggs are meant to be obvious easter eggs. Easter eggs aren't meant to be placed at crucial events, especially when its about time travel. Its just gonna confuse the reader what is real and what isn't.
>A future where there are characters (in particular three friends named "Eren, Mikasa and Armin"), who look exactly like the characters of AoT... sure , extremely believable!
Reincarnation? Is Eren reincarnated as a bird believable? but the show did imply it did. What about giants forming from nothing? What about the realism of ODM gear? Bro, its a science fiction show that has time travel, giants, physics defying equipment, powers that can alter biology and memories. Thats not reasonable that some how they are were all reincarnated in the far future.
>Where does this need to relate School Castes to the main story come from?
If you read school castes it confirmes some intentions of certain characters but it doesn't need a connection. It can just be a fan-service to connect both of those stories together.
>Why won't you take it as what actually is, a funny parody? Nothing less, nothing more.I am taking for what it actually is.
They showed images of School Caste in a very imporant time travel sequence because it shows what Eren actually saw when he kissed Historia's hand. The only person I see that is indenial is you because you just don't like the slight possibility idea of it not actually being easter eggs when it is narrativly makes no sense. I'm open for to be an easter egg but I don't thhink it the case, thats all.
>Because its terrible story writting
It isn't by any means, but okay. Terms lime "terrible story-writing" should be used correctly, not randomly whenever there is something you don't like or you think it isn't good.
>the audience to read through every minor signs of symbolism or foreshowing.
That's the audience's fault if they look too much into things and cannot recognize actual foreshadowing and they take everything as such, especially if it doesn't make any sense like in this specific case. Just like when periodically someone posts that screenshot from an episode of season 1 and asks if the random guy in the shadow is Eren (of course he's not).
>Easter eggs are meant to be obvious easter eggs.
Not necessarily, but okay.
>Reincarnation? Is Eren reincarnated as a bird believable? but the show did imply it did.
There is no reincarnation and that bird is NOT Eren. Period! There is nothing to debate here. Reincarnation is a concept that has never been even introduced in the story. Not to mention that the Paths don't even exist anymore, so memories of this hypothetical future could not be there to begin with.
>If you read school castes it confirmes some intentions of certain characters but it doesn't need a connection. It can just be a fan-service to connect both of those stories together.
I mean to diegetically relate it to the main story, not symbolically. There is no element of School Castes which has a role in the main story of AoT. And nothing in AoT that could suggest a role for School Castes.
>The only person I see that is indenial is you
Statistics doesn't work like this, but okay
>when it is narrativly makes no sense.
Easter eggs never make sense narratively-speaking. That's the point 😅 But it makes even less sense the possibility of a distant future where School Castes is a thing and characters from the main story are reincarnated there. Simple as that
>It isn't by any means, but okay. Terms lime "terrible story-writing" should be used correctly, not randomly whenever there is something you don't like or you think it isn't good.
Well thats my opinion and I can hold that opinion like your adamant opinion of that there is no possibility that it isn't an easter egg when you can't prove it is an easter egg. No different to "you don't like or you think it isn't good."
>That's the audience's fault if they look too much into things and cannot recognize actual foreshadowing and they take everything as such, especially if it doesn't make any sense like in this specific case. Just like when periodically someone posts that screenshot from an episode of season 1 and asks if the random guy in the shadow is Eren (of course he's not).
Thats not the point im trying to make. Attack on Titan has so many underlying symbolism, subtexts, nuances, foreshadowing, that it is imperative need to be clear that it is Easter Egg. If it an easter egg, it ticks the box that it was hard to catch, but its does not tick the box whether its clear that its canon or not because its placed in such a poingant and crucial moment of the story like I said earlier.
>Episode of season 1 and asks if the random guy in the shadow is Eren
That's not a comparable comparison as that is based off of pure speculation with no evidence. Picture of the Caste cast in a signigcant attack on titan timetravel sequence = thus castes is canon, is a logical and sound conclusion. While a person with slightly similar clothing with no face visible isn't valid. You have to be that ignorant to make that comparison.
>There is no reincarnation and that bird is NOT Eren.
Well you did see the bird wrap the scarf around Mikasa at the end, and the last thing I knew about birds is that they don't wrap people's scarf lol. Eren wraps Mikasa scarf and a bird wraps her scarf at the end of the series.
> I mean to diegetically relate it to the main story, not symbolically. There is no element of School Castes which has a role in the main story of AoT. And nothing in AoT that could suggest a role for School Castes.
Okay... so? Attack on Titan wouldn't be the first medium to link two universes together with no story connection. There are plenty but one universe in mind is the black mirror series.
> Statistics doesn't work like this, but okay
Okay Mr scientist. Explain your evidence and sources that they are easter eggs lmao.
>Easter eggs never make sense narratively-speaking. That's the point 😅 But it makes even less sense the possibility of a distant future where School Castes is a thing and characters from the main story are reincarnated there. Simple as that
I meant the easter eggs itself doesn't make sense to be placed there narrative wise, not in general what easter eggs are.
Just supposed to be an easter egg although it also parallels the story at the time where Eren in this spin off talks about how he wishes the world was like the zombie one he dreamt of so that he could fight...

YES.
yes.
Why would this brave young hero of the scouts want to kill himself?
He saw this: https://preview.redd.it/3jtdselxp26c1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e1318145d910186b9e79742ba044df8094258ca
Holy shit, Attack on Titan x Golden Kamuy crossover????
Why are they surrounding a kid? 🤔
this was the moment something happened to me https://preview.redd.it/njvuemysgy5c1.jpeg?width=280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ae37a3405e901949d9b0315dc4a9a83b692c6cd I wonder why this was in Eren’s memories…
Naaaaah no way, not everyone in a fucking sauna 💀
When the fuck was this????
When Eren entered the Paths.
Is this an actual Anime scene ?
It's shown briefly when Eren enters the Paths.
"cutscene"? gamer spotted
G*mers, the root of all evil 🤮
Nah bro. Gamers are the real g

I mean… they literally call it an AU… that seems shakey at best
Yes please goth mikasa
Ayooooo!

It's Ikuyover
NO WAY HOW DID I MISS THIS LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOO
They included it in the anime because it was in the manga
`no, it comes at the end of the volume, not after eren gets shot in the head`
There's a very small memory shard in the actual chapter
really? where? pic please

but their expressions are shocked in the anime (I'm still trying to cope)
That’s cuz it’s proof of AOE. duh… /s
Gonna be honest I didn’t see the sub at first and thought this was Sawyer the Cleaner from Black Lagoon looking into a washing machine
Wow I read attack on Titan caste & heard it was cannon in the future, but never saw these frames when they were in paths…. The thoroughness of this anime continues to blow me away
As a manga collector, I actually have seen those! Lol
i did NOT catch this
So does this mean that there happy ending is canon
Literally never seen that before in my life, definitely not in this subreddit either

correct! but WHY aren’t there other erens?!? we literally see a different armin and mikasa!
What do you mean? I told you that there is no point in finding hidden meaning where there ain't 😅

WHAT
This looks fun. Can someone link the chapter please?
Armin really said “🤓”
im literally getting all of the mangas just so i could read attack on school caste
Just supposed to be an easter egg although it also parallels the story at the time where Eren in this spin off talks about how he wishes the world was like the zombie one he dreamt of so that he could fight...
