Something else I feel is worth pointing out is that back in Chapter 83, Zeke said that someday, he will save Eren. That could be some kind of foreshadowing. Maybe there will turn out to be a way for the curse to be broken for good if the shifters just lose their powers altogether, and that might even save the current shifters from that fate. I'm betting it has something to do with the Coordinate. The warriors' mission is to retrieve the Coordinate and end this cursed history afterall.

Maybe Ymir Fritz could have ended the curse by getting rid of the titan shifter powers all along while she was still alive with her powers, but she just chose to keep them around even if it meant not stopping the curse and even if it meant they would continue for many years to come, because she didn't want to let go for whatever reason.

Of course, Isayama has a heart of stone, so I know better than to expect much. Maybe the curse will stop as the titan shifter powers will no longer be able to reach any more would be holders because the "paths" will be cut off, but the current holders will still be stuck with them and die later anyways. Who knows what Zeke means by that. Seems a little late to make that offer when you've murdered hundreds of your half brother's innocent comrades.
