Someone step in and tell me what is going on here, in a way someone who's never heard of AoT might understand too. Well Zeke's conterpart is probably Kruger so he doesn't factor into this equation but what me and Side01 have been saying is that Dina and Historia share a lot of similarities both in their physical attributes, their roles in the story (both produce heirs that are supposed to be Eldia's salvation and if Historia's fate is set she will become a titan just like Dina and even more ironically inherit the same titan as Dina's son), and of course there relationships to Grisha/Eren parallel each other in certain scenes. It's kinda difficult to explain without the proper subtext as Dina pops up in 2 - 3 chapters max and many of the story parallels have presented themselves very recently but the parallels are fun to talk about as AOT clearly loves it's parallels in characters (Ymir and Porco are oddly similar in personality and mannerisms, Magath is Erwin if his goals were selfless, Gabi is Eren's shadow etc.) and situations (Sasha's original death was saving a litttle girl than later she dies because she spared a little girls life, Grim Reminder 2.0 with Eren instead of Bert etc.). Like it's not required reading or anything it's just fun to speculate.
