The chapter itself was good, but it really worries me about the upcoming chapters.

There are lots of theories about some timeloop, or time travel (like Eren being the Devil that gave Ymir her powers, making an infinite timeloop), that would be something that I hate. And when I see how many people dislike this kind of stuff in a story (except if the story has always been about that), I'm wondering why so many theories about time travel and time loops are still there.

This reminds me GoT, after Hold the door, dozens of theories about time travel and time loops emerged, and I'm glad it didn't happen. Same situation here, I see lot of theories, and I guess that with these chapters, there will be even more, but I hope it won't go further than Eren influencing Grisha into killing the Reiss family. Technically speaking, that wasn't time travel at all, but it's very similar in its representation/interpretation. But whatever this is, I really hope Isayama won't end with "Eren being the Devil that gave Ymir her power" or something like that. That would be too cliche, and I guess that many would hate such a thing. Stories that have been destroyed because they introduced time travel and time loops is litterally a cliché of "how to ruin your story". Seeing Gaby killing Levi, Armin, Mikasa, Hansi, Connie and Jean would still be a better thing than all this "time travel/time-loop" stuff.

About the chapter itself, I have questions about how Grisha managed to touch Zeke. That he saw Eren and Zeke is a thing, but having a physical contact? How?

Also, Eren destroying his hands to get out of his chains is pretty brutal. I like it. I guess that in the anime it'll be more suggested than seen, as they always do (tho I don't really understand their censorship, it seems contradictory sometimes). It's interesting to see that in the Path world, they can be injured, but will it have an effect on their real world bodies? I don't think so.

Also, I'm glad to see that we didn't get some memory that would make Zeke renounce his purpose. I'm glad that it wasn't even Eren's will, he knew that he wouldn't convinced his brother. I like the "back to the Path worlds" with Eren being like "Oh wait bro, you didn't see me eating dad!".

I like Eren re-using words of Kruger ("This is the story that you started") to force his father to kill the Reiss family.

About the Attack Titan's power,the ability to "foresee the future", it's probably what happened with Kruger when he talked about Armin and Mikasa. Tho, he didn't really understood what he saw, and I guess this is what happens every time: they just randomly receive memories they can't understand, and nothing more. When Eren kissed Historia's hand, he received the memories from himself watching past events... Isayama did well in hiding this until now. This explains a lot about Eren new personnality, and who knows what else he might have seen?

PS: Will the paper version will cost more than usual XD? Because with this chapter and the previous one, lots of ink will be used to print them, more than usual chapters XD
