Volume 32 has not even been finished right now. If the next chapter is the final chapter of this volume, which i assume it will be, then during it's release you can expect Isayama to make an announcement of the sorts "The next AoT volume will be the last". That is how mangaka usually reveal when their story ends. Going by the fact that he wants to and aims to end the manga (this year), which he has not yet retracted, i assume that the final chaoter will be either 134 or 135.

Anyway, what was you take abot Eren's development again? Was it that he was good and that he's trying to unite the world? Or was that someone else. I literally can't remember. Well I do agree about revealing an exact date/chapter is too early at this point, but that announcement of the final volume (if the next one is the last) would've been appropiate in that interview. The interviewer didn't specify that his answer has to be an estimate. He just wanted some answer from Isayama, and Isayama could've chose to not even give the answer he gave. But most are noting that 1) His 5-6% answer WASN"T an exact figure 2) He didn't seem to have worked out the math and just gave a number off the top of his head

Also, you should know that just cuz he didn't retract his ASPIRATION doesn't mean it will definitely happen like that. You know what else he didn't retract or update? His initial announcement that the story was "60% done" back in 2015, when chp 66 released. So he initially led on, with more solid wording than he did in this case, that the story was going to end at chp 110. So between that turning out to be a lie, along with both Isayama and his editor admitting that these things take much longer than they initially plan, suffice it to say that many aren't taking his recent announcement too literally, which they weren't anyway given how it was emphasived to be a mere prediction anyway.

Yeah, I was atleast one of the people around here who think there's a positive twist coming with Eren. He has shown too much maturity in chps 98-100 to just revert to the rumbling now. You know, you didn't believe me, but I told you I referenced my logic behind my argument which is based on those chps (among other aspects) to people who, like you, thought I was in denial about Eren, and I ending up winning them over more or less, or at the very least, they realized I wasn't leaping anymore.

Not trying to stop you from theorizing your own theory, it's your right to do so. I just have my reasons to think it will turn out differently lol but either way, hopefully we see Eren finally within the next couple chps
