I am predicting that the story will feature some form of reincarnation which transcends time. Hear me out on this one. Think back to the part where Eren Krueger is talking to Grisha and he suddenly mentions Mikasa and Armin, despite them not yet being born. I think the most reasonable conclusion from this is that Eren Krueger had somehow inherited Eren Yeager's memories, despite Eren Yeager existing at a later time.Also, in Norse mythology, it was believed that a dead person would be reincarnated as a a person who is namd after them. Well, as we know, the legendary progenitor of all the Titans was named Ymir. I think it is unlikely that the character Ymir would have been given that name for no reason.

Some fan theories have suggested that at some point in the story, there will be a "timeline reset" of some sort. I have only briefly read about this, but it struck me immediately. Remember the words of Eren Krueger to Grisha: "Love everybody within the walls. If you can't do that, everything will happen again. The same story. With the same mistakes. Again and again."

So yeah, I am going to put my money on this not being the end for Ymir.

I don't think there'll be a timeline reset though because for a show like this it seems too far fetched. There could very easily be reincarnations of people the same way Kruger was reborn as Yeager. I do somewhat agree with the theory that mikasa will try to find the source of all organic material in order to stop the curse of Ymir only

And our Ymir was specifically named Ymir because she was seen as the reincarnation of Ymir Fritz and/or an idol of Ymir to be worshipped. It'd be like a little girl being seen as the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary and being called Mary as a result. Ymir was essentially an actor for the group to worship and play with the same way you'd treat a celebrity impersonator like the real thing.
