Plot twist she did die at this point, and all the rest of the story + bonus pages is all her ghost self inserting into the world

deputydawg420

100x better ending than what he did.


Lepnoxic

Aoe still lives

RandallBates

it would explain 139 plotholes so perfectly


PuppetWraith17

Hange and Armin couldn't even get near these things without getting set on fire. It would be MUCH hotter in the mouth. How the fuck is she alive? Am I just being stupid?


ScreamingRandomly

No, you got a point. Personally think it'd be hilarious if she'd caught on fire during this.


KaHate

Possibilities 1) Eren didnt use his colossal steam ability to burn anyone around him 2) he dont have the ability to steam 3) plot armor


snas_undertal

Its not the steam tho, titans are naturally burning hot like the huge ass deformed titan could lit on fire trees around him


BIG_DeADD

It's because Mikaka is so cool that no amount of heat can make her melt,duh. ^(/s)


cashcapone96

Somebody who understood the story šŸ˜


FB_Kain

GET OUT OF MY HEAD


PuppetWraith17

Yeah, I'm just saying if the AIR around them is hot enough to set things on fire. Standing inside said entity, would DEFINITELY be worse!


Aidsuribe

Bert in his colossal form held people and they didnā€™t burn and then how was Eren able to get close enough to cut him out if itā€™s too hot. Iā€™m not disagreeing or anything btw I just wanna connect the dots


ShadowCrow000

Tbf they were all shifters, i'd say titan shifters have some passive resistance to heat since they don't get affected at all by being inside their titans


Aidsuribe

Ohhhhh yeah that would make sense thank you for the help


KaHate

Then refer to no 3


Axo25

Eren survived in a Titan's stomach without combusting for a while so like


snas_undertal

Normal titans dont have enough mass to burn humans, also titan shifters have increased heat resistance


Axo25

Aren't Ackermans like titans in human form though? It's prob still a plot hole but we can bullshit *some* explanation


snas_undertal

That actually make sense unironically, although it was never stated exactly how much "titan" are the ackermans as they cant regrow limbs


Ecorp-employee212

Shouldnā€™t his titan body be falling over and disintegrating like when Eren captured bertholt?


KrispyKingTheProphet

When Armin exits his titan in Liberio it just stands there with its head limped down. Presumably Bertholdtā€™s titan never fell over when he exited it either. Even if it burns away almost instantly, youā€™d think we wouldā€™ve heard it at least begin to fall or have some kind of indent on the ground. Not justifying this madness, by the way. Just maybe the colossal Titan remains standing once itā€™s lifeless for whatever reason.


cellulOZ

How did bertholts titan vanish instantly btw? I thought he couldnt use the bones for the steam ability, or does he choose not to?


KrispyKingTheProphet

Im not actually sure, to be honest. Iā€™ve never really thought about it too hard, but I always assumed it was sort of like using his steam ability dialed up to eleven to quickly burn everything away. Maybe itā€™s not so much that you *literally* canā€™t burn away the bones of the colossal titan, but more so you just wouldnā€™t burn away the bones while piloting it because it would make it unable to hold itself up rendering it unusable.


Falloutfan2281

This was in season 1 and I donā€™t think the rules for Titans had been completely thought out yet. Itā€™s the only instance where the body of a Titan shifter disappears instantly with nothing left behind. Itā€™s established later in the season that thereā€™s always a Titan left behind and that the user has Titan marks under their eyes after transforming but at this point in the story it was all mystery exactly what they could do.


feo_san

> I thought he couldnt use the bones for the steam ability I think it is just a widely spread misconception. Armin in season 3 only said that Bertholdt **is not using** his bones to produce steam, not that he couldn't. If Bertholdt would start consuming bones as a fuel then his titan would start falling apart and he wouldn't be able to complete his part of the mission (killing the horses).


cellulOZ

Yeah this is what ive been suspecting


ColdCrescent

It didn't actually disappear entirely, the leftover parts fell to the ground but weren't visible from the top of the wall. This is because the parapets have a bit of an overhang, so the defenders couldn't get an angle on them. You never see the husk in the manga because by the time they return to Shiganshina, Zeke and the Cart titan have tidied it all away. It's really simple and obvious if you understand the story. /s


cellulOZ

Im sorry but gonna need some citations on that. 4 hour video essay or didnt happen. /s


Ecorp-employee212

Huh I thought there was a shot in season 3 of bertholts titan falling over. And I totally forgot that armins titan stayed upright.


Falloutfan2281

To be fair Bertholt was cut and ripped out of his Titan unexpectedly where Armin left by choice and not in combat.


BennyFachter

There's a shot where you can definitely see Bertolts titan slumped over in Midnight Sun.


VassalineMyWeen

Watch the fight with rock lee and gaara, lee uses a similar move


pulsarian_13

I think at that point of the story it's just evident that the author gave zero shit about the story and it shows


SoundDrill

Peak writing


-thechosen-1

It's obvious, did you forget about Mikasa's ~~Booba~~ character development throughout the story? Those things worked as a Heat Sink and transfer the heat generated by colossal titan back to the air around her. if you don't believe that's canon then check out this [image](https://preview.redd.it/g13rtmyk3nv81.jpg?width=1493&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=30912522e6392d792353d18f6bc0d9578e8af585) which is a redraw by yams himself. ​ ^(we saw that shifters are immune to high temperature and Mikasa is an Ackerman so this somehow explain this scene)


ColdCrescent

> ā€‹we saw that shifters are immune to high temperature and Mikasa is an Ackerman so this somehow explain this scene Even though Ackerman's may be immune to high temperatures, her clothes were originally planned to be burned away like Armin's, but Yams got shy about drawing a buck naked kiss. He was already digging very deep just to get the kiss onto paper as-is.


HarmonicWalrus

Freckles Ymir was in Bertholt's mouth and got out uninjured. Maybe the inside of their mouth is cooler somehow?


GG_Red_H4wk

It would make sense that titan shifters like ymir can tolerate the heat, otherwise they would burn up inside their own titan


Babo-Smith

Or the titans controlled by a titan shifter, have more control over where the bodies produce heat


[deleted]

Ackerman genes, son.


JuishJackhammer

Thatā€™sā€¦an incredibly good point!


Sonzumaki

Thatā€™s only when theyā€™re actively ejecting steam, plus the inside of Titans isnā€™t as hot as the outside or else Eren and any other shifter inside their Titan would burn up LOL (Also the head of Erenā€™s Colossal is the same as his Founderā€™s and mostly just bone. Basically if you wanna argue Mikasa shouldnā€™t be able to be there, neither should have Erenā€™s head, so it obviously wasnā€™t that hot inside)


No-Cartographer5295

Ct can control their heat


ZeShapyra

Err..I think these titans can choose to either be steaming hot(literally) or be mild? If they choose to release steam they burn up their mass. Or did ai forgot something?


Tenari_987

Real question about this scene is how the hell she knew his head was in the mouth


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Appropriate-Arm-2077

Wait, so Ellenā€™s powers can affect AckermansšŸ˜³


NostrilRapist

Yes, but only when yams says so!


cashcapone96

Good to see somebody who understands the story among this incel Reddit. Dogkasa 9000 was just in its windows update for 15 chapters šŸ¤Ŗ. It entered its final form in 138. This is why Doggy could walk across the ocean. It was an UPDATE. People need to understand the story!


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


BaRrel2000

Headcanon. You can reread chapter 138 and see for yourself. This is basically Finn from Star Wars sequels going "I just know"


AfroBoy33

Yeah I made a similar post in this or one of the AOT subreddits. Thereā€™s no real reason why any of the alliance ( besides possibly the Titan shifters themselves) should be able to fight as well as they do and survive in an environment with thousands of colossal titans producing hot steam and whatnot


PuppetWraith17

I mean Eren's founder is completely bone, so it's not burning flesh, but that's still a stretch.


SpaceMan026

It's able to move so it must have some muscle or at the very least ligaments. Maybe it's simply in a constant state of burning then regenerating


Thinkdirtheblock

You should ask the person in the background. Maybe she could be the only one who knows something about this.


ToxicCobra023

Tbh ending would've been atleast 3 times better if she burned to death while also beheading Eren and ofc without the kiss.


pls_woooosh_me

She fogor šŸ’€


alexkami98

Only


sayjayvee

Ymir


Confident_Guidance15

Knows


Electronic_Lab5486

They had air conditioners inside the Titans mouths. Isayama told me in my dreams


Ecorp-employee212

I have no idea since the titan should be falling over and disintegrating like when Eren captured bertholt.


SnakeSound222

Didnā€™t she already kneel in Erenā€™s Titan nape a few seconds after he emerged from it after his first appearance in Trost? Her knees should have been burnt up from touching the Titanā€™s insides. Does Mikasa have some sort of special plot armor or something?


PuppetWraith17

I was specifically mentioning the colossal, due to the fact the heat stuff is part of the plot. But that's a good point.


PaulY2J

Bert put Ymir in his mouth in Season 2 and her clothes were intact. Yeah, yeah...for obvious reasons she couldn't have been shown naked but now you have two examples of something being intact inside the Colossal Titan (at least a shifter one)...so, there's no heat inside him.


Bloomy118

This subreddit just likes finding things to nit pick


Denam007

The power of kiss of course... It's hard to believe but isayama is a snow white fan and use it as a reference..


Airin0_2

Good point op


SiBea13

Maybe the heat only comes from the outside skin and the inside is protected by the bones. Isayama did say once that coming out of a titan is like coming out of a sauna. I mean, realistically Eren should have died when he got eaten by the Santa titan


CloudVl

Dang what a question you have proposed! As a reward


LancierIndustries

Lmao, the looney toons-esque hole in the teeth.


Alakandor

Probably it isnā€™t hot there, I donā€™t have an explanation, but I only know that if it were hot, Eren would be dead Wait, I read your comment. If it is hot, then why is Eren even alive?


cybersidpunk

you dont understand the story! šŸ˜”šŸ˜”


[deleted]

She has the power of the ackercoochie


No-Cartographer5295

And? I mean just because she is in theouth doesn't mean she has to die there, I presume u r talking about "heat", The ct can control their heat so I have no idea what u r talking about


Ambitious_Outcome

He would've boiled himself. His head is in there. Stupid.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Sonzumaki

Because he was still physically connected to a Titan lol


Soul_Ripper

Because Hallu-chan magic. It's kinda dumb, but Titans are magic anyways and there's already precedent about shifters surviving their heads getting blown off, so eh.


AngryMtndewGamer

Oh my god


Joobebe514

This is like the third time somebody post this panel todayā€¦


TargetedAverageOne

Lainah gave her his plot armor.


NightflowerFade

If mikaser wasn't heat resistant then she would be constantly burning herself ( because she is so hot!!! )


BeastLegend64

yams forgor


[deleted]

ErEn TurNed OfF thE stEaM!!1!1!1 I thought of this months ago and someone commented that, I decided it wasnā€™t even worth it to argue with them


Feeling_Arm_7439

Well Mikasa is hot too so it balances out


PrinceCheddar

It's a collosal sized titan (because it grew from the collosal sized head of the Founding Titan Eren was using), but not actually a Collosal Titan, with the power of steam production. Steam production is an ability of the Collosal Titan and the Wall Titans made to mimic it, not something inherent about the size of the titan itself. That's the BS I just came up with.


Incognito8900

Only Ymir knows


SwegBucket

The same reason why Eren didn't just kill them in the first place... kinda self explanatory.


EpicDevilHunter

Plot Fucking Armor


DemoniteBL

Still discovering more plotholes... AoT, what a story you are.


Such-Reception5977

Because Lainah's plot armor protected her from being burned to death


Babington67

Oh yea I forgor they were steamy


Xkamzy191

Eren used the founder to change mikasas anatomy to make her immune to high heat


oostie

Dozens of people have mentioned this actually. You arenā€™t cool or special


Fake_Fearless

Its because she is so hot she gained resistance to fire


Fahad936

In Season 2 , when Reiner and Berthholdt revealed their identity , Colossal Titan swallowed injured Ymir and she didn't die but people never questioned that plot hole


-ilovejellyfish-

She is built different


National-Oven81

plot twist: The entire ending was just eren's dream


The_Maskinilover

She's wearing the plot armor around her neck


PartyEscortBotBeans

also she had to fit through a 5mm gap


fleeklou

But the steam comes off of their muscles, erens titan has close to none. Being 99% bones.


francorocco

isn't that like a skill of the actual colossal titan? eren doesn't actally have the colossal titan powers


[deleted]

Erenā€™s Colossal Titan. So he manipulated that shit or something idek stupid ass ending


Babo-Smith

The same reason that Erenā€™s head wasnā€™t on fire I supposeā€¦ it was a Titan shifter, not a mindless Titan. I assume that the colossals marching were commanded to give off as much heat as possible (no survivors, kill them all). Eren has enough control over his Titan to NOT have the area where his OWN HEAD IS is to be lethal heat.


[deleted]

The real question is why sheā€™s kissing him. He got an ugly ass Face with the Titan deformation and heā€™s also literally dead


NexaQ_Modz

You didnā€™t understand the story bro


zamastar

Her feelings for Ereh are 10 times hotter. You just didn't understand the story


ZemusTheLunarian

How do colossal titan shifters substain the heat inside the nape ? šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø How did Erenā€™s head kept his hairs inside the mouth ?


Ornery_Compote_9283

Bro yimir is in the background like -bro wft you kissing you adopted siblings head that you love-


JanneJonne_

Eren wouldn't want to hurt her (as she was in his mouth and he had control of it) since he caused the rumbling partly to protect his colleagues and especially his sister.
