A colossal series in the world of anime brilliance, the Hajime-Isayama-created Attack on Titan lasted for 94 enthralling episodes. Through all the chaos, the anime spectacularly blurred the lines between humanity and monstrosity. However, in its long-standing quest towards the elusive freedom, the series may have lost grip on the audience’s fragile expectations. Those who were left disappointed by what is being called a dreadful end to the series may just find some respite in this alternate ending for it. 

After all, it features none other than the legendary artist: Kanye West who is a known fan of the genre. 

Did Kanye West always relate to Eren Jaeger? 

After the series finale majorly deviated from the manga’s version of events, an X user pointed out how despite Eren’s death, it seemed to be reflecting the themes of Ye’s life. Well, the post included some serious evidence to back up these claims. In his verse in the ‘City of Gods’ track, West spoke about feeling misunderstood in a world that keeps spinning like the cycles of the anime’s time loop.  

Not to forget some of the 46-year-old’s former tweets about time travel that alluded to the same. Well, his song: ‘Stronger’ was made in the themes of one of his favorite animes: Akira, which is believed to have inspired certain elements in Attack on Titan too. Another one of his ‘Graduation’ album tracks: ‘Can’t Tell Me Nothing’ told the tale of a rebel getting arrested like The Rogue Titan did in Season 4.

The strongest connections of all between Ye and Eren are the relationships they both waded through. 

The family factors that connect Ye to Attack on Titan

When it came to love, the Usurper: Eren did not have much luck. Well, Kanye West has said plenty regarding that arena of his life too. In his track ‘I Love It’, the father of four accused somebody of starting a family after betraying him. This could be compared to how Mikasa eventually gave up on her love for Eren and got married to somebody else in the manga.

Additionally, the user also pointed to how the artist’s lyrics in ‘Vulture’ regarding a pregnancy in which the father was unknown relate to Historia’s situation. Earlier, viewers had debated plenty on whether she was carrying The Farmer’s child or Eren’s. Well, with all these parallels drawn between Ye and Mr. Kruger, the X user made a good case for how the rapper could have influenced the series’ ending. 

What do you think about the web of theories about Eren and Ye spun by the X user? Or do you reckon these concepts are too far-fetched? Share your thoughts in the comments.
