At the end of Attack on Titan, we see that war still goes on, and that’s why many fans wondering what would happen to the world after Eren Yeager’s death. Does the Titan story continue after Eren dies? The short answer is no. When Eren died, all the Titans disappeared. But, in the end, we saw a young boy at the place where Ymir first turned into a Titan. Who is that boy, and is he going to start a new Titan story? I know it’s confusing, but I’ll explain everything.
With Eren’s death, all of the Titan’s power vanished from the world, which means the main Titan story doesn’t continue after Eren’s death. Even the Ackermans’ power was gone.
Eren’s actions, especially the Rumbling, caused immense destruction across the world. The survivors, both on Paradis Island and in other countries, must now rebuild their homes and lives.
But things aren’t perfect. There’s still tension between the Eldians (Eren’s people) and the rest of the world. The story suggests that old problems don’t just disappear, even after such significant events. In the final panels, we see that war is still ongoing, indicating that in this world, conflict never truly ends. Even without Titans, the war continues.
The Mysterious Boy
In the final chapter, a boy discovers a tree resembling the one Ymir fell into, which originally granted her the power of the Titans. This scene is more symbolic than a direct continuation of the story. It suggests the possibility of something new, perhaps even a new cycle of power, but it’s left deliberately vague. The fact that the boy is exploring with a dog and not under any immediate threat, unlike Ymir, implies that whatever he might find could be different from Titan’s powers. This could symbolize a new beginning or a different kind of power, but it’s left up to the reader’s imagination. And the boy’s identity wasn’t mentioned.
Conclusion
So while the Titan story itself ends, the final scene introduces the idea that there could be other stories or powers in the world, though they are not directly explored in the manga. Hajime Isayama the author of Attack on Titan intentionally did this for readers and viewers to imagine their own conclusion.
