I think it can be interpreted as both Fritz I and Eren, or even that thing that gave Ymir her power, all of them "fit the bill", but I think it's most relevant as a foreshadow of Eren. At the time, we would never have imagined that Eren would one day make a deal with Ymir to gain power and destroy the world.

The wikia calls them the same but I (and others) consider Volume 27 - 30 the War for Paradis arc and Volumes 31 onwards the rumbling arc. To me they are different enough to be called their own arcs since the battle on Paradis is over and the Rumbling is beyond just Paraids but I don't know if the Wikia staff will separate them or not

Isayama revealed back in 2018 that the arc that started post chapter 106, is the final arc of the series. He doesn't view these as separate arcs.

The final arc was announced right after chp 111 officially released in November 2018. Chps 107-111 are considered more of a transition arc than part of the Marley arc, even tho all the chps there more or less tie back to Marley arc stuff lol but everything from chp 112 onwards is the final arc

Ah, here we go again. The final arc starts from chapter 107 in volume 27. That's it. The interview took place in November, great, that doesn't mean that the last arc started then. If you want proof, you can see that in the opening pages (character intruduction) of volumes 23-26, it says "MARLEY ARC". This doesn't happen with volume 27 and onwards.

That interview talked about the final arc STARTING, so yeah it started at chp 112. I also didn't say chps 107-111 were part of the Marley arc. I DID say they were a transition arc. You disproved nothing I said lol and please stop acting like you're dealing with an idiot whenever you talk with me lol

Lol? That's what it feels like when i'm talking to you, because time and again you try to fit official statements into your own headcannon. Too bad that this only makes sense to you, which is why the wiki lists chapter 107 as the first of the final arc and not part of a "transition arc", since separating chapters 107-111 from the rest of what follows makes 0 sense from a narrative point of view. "Considered transition arc". By whom exactly? You? When did Isayama state that? Your argument rests on the fact that chapter 111's released date was Novermber 2018 and then you assume because that interview's release date was the same, well surely the entirety of volume 27 and the first chapter from volume 28 belong to a different arc. Well, volume 27, containing chapters 107-110 released a month after said interview took place. Surely, going by that logic that means that i'm correct, right?

I only mentioned what an admin told me here, so I'm not going by my "headcannon" here lol but yeah, its not hard to imagine that documentary being flimed shortly before its aired, like most do. Besides, it wouldn't make any sense for them to announce that we're entering the final arc if we were already in it. I hope I gave you a good laugh here, cuz you gave me one, thinking everything I say is "headcannon" while you act like your take on the story is superior, when it isn't anymore than mine is, and quite frankly, as I pointed out, some aspects of your take on this whole story fall under "headcannon" as well. I base my perception of the story on the details as well, so if my theory is "headcannon", then so is yours lol
But you don't have proof that documentary was months back anyway, and no, you're not proven correct about volume 27 being part of the final arc just cuz it released after the interview, as by the time the interview released, so have those chapters already in their respective magazine issues. I must really be an idiot, cuz I don't know why you brought that up honestly lmfao
But just so we're clear, it doesn't pay for us to talk like this, as you keep it up in the same manner as you been, admins and moderators will take notice, and may just block one of us. And no, I don't plan on telling them anything. I don't have an issue with you talking to me like this. In fact, I humor it. But you keep it up like that, and a staff member will take notice and that might not end well based on what I've seen happen on this wikia.

"Honestly, after thinking about it, even if Isayama didn't give chps 107-111 an arc name written down in them, it might still be safe to say they are still part of the Marley arc, which he himself probably considers them to be a part of after writtinf down the name a few times so he prob felt it was redundant"
You wrote this, didn't you? Where exactly is it that an admin told you that 107-111 are considered either part of Marley arc or a separate arc? Perhaps nowhere, because it did not happen?
You know, if it was anyone else, i would have bothered explaining to him/her why both of the above positions make no sense whatsoever, but you are willing to lie in order to defend a baseless position which renders you a dishonest person in my eyes. Have fun replying as much as you want, i am not going to continue this. Its a waste of time. Have a nice day.

lol check my message wall for a message from an admin named "Manuel de la Fuente" and tell me how "dishonest" I was. If anything is a waste of your time, its you reacting to me in ways I don't deserve. All I did here was retract a statment I made prior, and shifted my stance on a particular topic. If that really makes me "baseless and dishonest" to the point where I'm not credible to talk about this, that's on you bro. I'm good either way, so I'm already having a nice day lol hope you do as well. Hope you "have fun replying as much as you want" as well lol
