***Major Spoiler Warning For Those Who Didn't Finish The Last Part**
Centuries ago, mankind was slaughtered to near extinction by monstrous humanoid creatures called titans, forcing humans to hide in fear behind enormous concentric walls. What makes these giants truly terrifying is that their taste for human flesh is not born out of hunger but what appears to be out of pleasure. To ensure their survival, the remnants of humanity began living within defensive barriers, resulting in one hundred years without a single titan encounter. However, that fragile calm is soon shattered when a colossal titan manages to breach the supposedly impregnable outer wall, reigniting the fight for survival against the man-eating abominations.After witnessing a horrific personal loss at the hands of the invading creatures, Eren Yeager dedicates his life to their eradication by enlisting into the Survey Corps, an elite military unit that combats the merciless humanoids outside the protection of the walls. Based on Hajime Isayama's award-winning manga, Shingeki no Kyojin follows Eren, along with his adopted sister Mikasa Ackerman and his childhood friend Armin Arlert, as they join the brutal war against the titans and race to discover a way of defeating them before the last walls are breached
Eren Yaeger, first introduced as a citizen of the Shiganshina District, has spent the majority of his story hating the demonized race of Titans that has been devouring the human population. After taking up arms in The Scout Regiment, his mission has always been to eradicate the race. That is, until he slowly began to see humans as the enemy.
Now, "Dawn For Humanity" has confirmed the inevitable through Eren's memories. While readers suspected Eren may be teetering towards the side of villainy, he has been written past the point of redemption. Despite his nefarious actions (and the vastly different perspective his peers now have of him), a lot of Eren fans have felt this forced hero-to-villain storyline has come out of nowhere. Conversely, his entire storyline has been leading up to this moment. Similar to a next door neighbor who loves craft beer (and can't wait to tell you about it), Eren has allowed his hatred for the titans to become his defining characteristic. He takes pride in being a protector... however, this is dependent on the existence of something humanity must be protected from. This was torn from him when the origins of the Titans was revealed. This left the hero without a target for the hatred he had been harboring for the Titans.
In this chapter, Eren relives the day when he watched a Titan consume his mother. This is when he declares that he will destroy the race, and is undoubtably the turning point in his adolescent life. End flashback, and fans are left with present-day Eren: one with a pronounced disgust for the evil he sees throughout all races. From the beginning, Eren was only driven by rage and vengeance, as he is in "Dawn For Humanity". Can one ever be considered a hero when their intentions are driven by these feelings?
Afterall, Eren was the game changer here, a protagonist directly to a villian. Eren's Titan controlling power from Ymir and going back to the past was only to destroy the humanity and to save his district Shingishina. Here it has some similarities like other anime like Death Note,Tokyo Ghoul where heros act like villainous behavior.
Will Mikasa-Armin be able to stop Eren?
