Also to clarify, it was never stated the Attack Titan is only able to see future memories, that was literally debunked twice when Eren saw his dad AND Ymir’s memories. And the point of Zeke stating that it’s “just a memory” before it’s shown that it’s not is called basic storytelling: divert the reader’s attention away from making a conclusion until the implication is made. It would be bad writing to say “hey Zeke, these aren’t just memories, I’ll demonstrate it in a bit,” because it doesn’t build awe.
