''That's an explicit statement that Eren's titan itself transcends time. It would be illogical if it couldn't be able to affect the past and is only bound to the present, otherwise it would be a completely redundant statement. ''

No, that's still an interpretation of Zeke. That's how he understood it. And considering his POV, that makes sense to intepret it as time travel, while really it isn't. I'd say that Zeke considered Eren changed the past, because he never knew Grisha has always received these memories. From Zeke POV, he saw Eren talking to Grisha, and Grisha acted based on this. But he doesn't know Grisha received memories of Eren and was "seeing from Eren POV", that he heard what Eren said because he received his memories.

And, on the contrary, that'd be illogical if he could affect the past. And no, that's not redundant : because it still happened because of this power. It has always happened. Grisha has always killed the Reiss because he received future memories of Eren talking to him while watching Grisha's memories. Eren didn't change that. He only made it happen by way of the future memories being received by his father. This is similar to this is a fixed timeline... Just like Harry Potter. With the difference that HP used time travel, SnK didn't. I won't talk about Avengers because I hate superheroes and I never watched these.

"Again, you're making the wrong assumption that you constantly recieve future memories. You needed royal blood every time you wanted to use this power. Grisha never got in touch with one after getting his powers, only Eren did. "

Why Grisha received "continuous" memories ? Let's remember that Eren received numerous loooooong memories from his father. And he wasn't able to use the Founding Titan that time, and he wasn't touching a royal blood person.

''Also the fact that Grisha HANGS his arm around Zeke's shoulder should be enough evidence that these aren't just memories, or that the PR isn't actually a physical place. There's more evidence in the newest chapter, but I'm not allowed to say specifically what it is, but just pay extra attention to details when you read it.''

Where did I say that Paths Realm was a physical place? Nowhere. And I'm perfectly aware that this isn't a physical place. And, by the way, I think that either from my POV or yours, Grisha's hanging Zeke is something weird : it's only Eren and Zeke's souls (or astral bodies?) that are in the Path realm. Not their physical bodies, which are still in Shiganshina. I understand that two souls can touch each other, but a physical body (Grisha) and a soul?

And.. EVEN IF all of that weren't just memories but was also time travel, when really it isn't... That doesn't change at all the fixed timeline stuff. That's fixed, whatever Eren does, that just make stuff that has already happened happen. Like the Reiss massacre.

This picture explains the memories stuff. The fixed timeline stuff. They call it "time travel" at the begining because the comparison is easy to make, since we've got two different dates interacting.
