We’ve witnessed the rise and fall of colossal titans, the rumbling that shook Paradis to its core, and now we’re left pondering the time skip that takes us into the unknown.
How far into the future is this really, and what’s up with those skyscrapers and realistic weaponry? Let’s break it down with a dash of humor and a sprinkle of conspiracy!
First off, the rumbling did more than just kick up dust – it flattened 80% of the planet.
That’s like resetting a video game, only this time you lose your high scores and favorite characters.
So, imagine starting over with the same number of people both inside and outside the walls.
Now, let’s talk weaponry.
Sure, those SAM Turrets might seem like a blast from the past, but who’s to say they won’t be all the rage 200 years from now?
I mean, they’re the Gundam Wing of ground artillery – timeless classics, am I right?
But wait, why the realistic weaponry in a world with sci-fi skyscrapers?
Well, it’s probably just an artistic choice. Or maybe there’s a secret weapon we don’t know about – the Tactical Tinfoil Cannon, protecting against plot holes since 2023.
Now, let’s play the numbers game. If we look at the tree’s growth during Mikasa’s post-credits scenes, we’re talking thousands of years.
Quick math lesson: Mikasa’s age difference times the tree’s growth equals a mind-boggling 3000 years.
That’s one ancient tree, folks.
“But what about the rate of technological progress?” you may ask.
Well, history has its share of technological standstills. We rocked the horse and cart for almost 4000 years before cars rolled onto the scene.
So, maybe Paradis took its sweet time before unveiling those sleek Titan-killing rides.
And here’s the grand revelation – the name of one of the new songs is “to you 2000…or…20000 years from now.“
Isayama, you sneaky genius, implying that the ending boy scene is a cool 20,000 years post-Eren’s demise.
That war we witnessed? Probably still going strong, or maybe they’ve just swapped popcorn for Titan-shaped snacks.
Now, for the conspiracy theorists out there – did Isayama tweak the future in the anime to throw off the haters?
The skyscrapers look like everyday city life, right? Maybe it’s a subtle nod to those who claimed “Floch was right” about Paradis getting the short end of the stick.
In the end, whether it’s 200 or 20,000 years from now, remember: time travel might be complicated, but theorizing about it is a blast!
