Your whole response highlights something I hope people catch onto: all those flashbacks took place before the attack on Marley. I'm not sure how I did that when I highlighted the dialogue that says "The Military Police Brigade is moving forward with a plan to turn you into a Titan and feed Zeke to you now that he's here on the island." (Bolding mine.) That could only have been said after the attack on Marley.

Visually it looks like the conversation has to take place before the attack, since Eren's hair is too short to be put in a bun, but the dialogue does not match. So either Isayama made a mistake in the artwork, there's a mistake in the dialogue, or Eren has a different post-attack on Marley conversation with Historia that is being overlaid on top of the pre-attack visuals (which would be incredibly confusing because it would mean we're not getting the conversation that is being visually depicted). Well you kinda did zero in on how this sounds like it took place before that attack. For the most part, it felt like this took place before the Marley events, even if that one sentence sounds like it suggests otherwise. I doubt its an art mistake as Isayama wouldn't fumble that hugely lol but maybe, and this is something I theorized about, Zeke was on the island before and after the attack on Liberio. If Yelena was, surely he was as well. How could Eren have that convo with Historia after the attack anyway? Eren immediately went to jail, and while he was still imprisoned in chp 107, we find out Historia is pregnant. I guess Isayama left a bread crumb to show how there is more to Zeke or something, or maybe there was a mistake with the dialogue, but I doubt Isayama would make that kind of mistake.
