In order to understand a work, we must first understand the following three points: (emphasis added!!)

1. It is the protagonist who represents the three views of a work.

2. When creators want to use something that is extremely sensitive, they often use something less sensitive to cover it up.

3. What kind of work does the author want to create?

The three most "powerful" problems that lead to the so-called bad ending are:

1. The ending of the giant is not correct

, 2. Allen's behavior is incomprehensible

, 3. The sacrifice of Erwin and other soldiers has become meaningless, and "why doesn't Jabi die".

If you bring in the character Alan, of course it's not right, and it's extremely perverted. But as I said earlier, it is the protagonist who represents the three views of a work. Who is the protagonist in the first middle section?

Undoubtedly, Alan Yeager. But what about the final chapter? The final chapter is a group drama. If Allen is the main character, then who is the villain? And the ending song of the final chapter of the anime already hints that the protagonist of this season should be Falco. Isn't Falco's three views correct? Of course he is, and he is also the "conscience" of the Marais Eldians, represented by Jabi. Therefore, it is Eren Yeager, that is, the ultimate villain in the traditional sense, who is not right, not the work "Attack on Titan".

Is Alan's behavior incomprehensible? It's so fucking incomprehensible. But this character is not meant for you to understand. Is it easy to understand that he dared to stab people with a knife when he was a child? Is it easy to understand when he screams at every turn? Is it easy to understand when he opens his mouth and closes his mouth to kill and kill? To analyze a character, we must first understand his prototype. Let's sort out the labels on Alan's body first: motherless, furious, infectious, born in a defeated country, possessed powerful weapons of war, has many fanatical supporters, and longs for battle and freedom............ Searching for historical figures with these tags, I think most people's first instinct is that sinner. And most people have the protagonists of the royal road shonen manga that he automatically brought in, including Mikasa and Armin. Mikasa insisted that Eren stabbed someone because he was very kind to save her, but is that really the case?

But is it really the case? Eren is not a sake, but Satan. Allen's final incomprehensible behavior is not deliberate, but the character of Alan Yeager. We are recalling the setting of Eldia Island, like black, red and yellow after the defeat in World War I, and then recalling the style of Eldia's military uniform. Who Allen is based on, I think it's obvious. At this time, someone will say, "You are talking nonsense! Shouldn't Allen's prototype be Kita Kazuki?" But as I said earlier, when creators want to use something that is extremely sensitive, they often use something that is not so sensitive to cover it up.

Has the sacrifice of the soldiers represented by the regimental commander become meaningless? Yes, but not exactly. I think we need to guess what kind of work we want to create. He had said before that he was going to paint a big for his bad taste, and now it seems that he has succeeded. But I think it's more like giving up on yourself for a difficult purpose than a bad taste. So what is his purpose? What he wants to accomplish is not a true work of God that is sung for people, but a fake history that can be used as a false one. I think this is also the reason why Giant is a manga with a high degree of authenticity and rigor throughout.

But I think when it came to the end, Tron did his best. The self-intense contradictions of the character of Allen completely explode and completely become his own prototype, the great filial son becomes a mother killer, and the sacrifices of many of the previous main characters become meaningless. This is the most ridiculous ending, and the best ending. Looking back at history, whether it was World War I, World War II, or even the Ming God of War in our country, how many soldiers' sacrifices were meaningful in the face of dictatorship? Why did I just say but not completely? The heroic sacrifice of the soldiers such as Inwen is the most powerful mockery of Allen in the end: what the soldiers are looking for is true freedom, and Allen is moving towards false freedom.

"Why doesn't Jabi die?!" because she can't die. As the Giants enter the final chapter, it is clear that they classify various characters, such as Falco as a Malay with a conscience, Malai as a stubborn Malay, and Yagger as a radical Eldian...... Jia Bi represents a growing Malai person, from obsessive to suddenly enlightened, with the image of a child to see the world, with real experience to see the real situation. To be honest, I hated Jabi before, but I knew that I realized the importance of this character until the end of the final chapter, and the conflict and resolution between her and Sasha's relatives was the right answer to end this farce. It's just that it wasn't chosen, because revenge is what the big characters in the story like to do. Jabi's enlightenment and the kindness of Sasha's family, that is, the enlightenment and kindness of the little people, contrast with the paranoia and ugliness of the big people. This character can't die.

The story comes to an end, and this grand farce doesn't seem to have achieved much effective results. It's absurdly like a real history of war. But I think it's still a good story, at least from beginning to end, each character does his or her own role, creates their life, and the whole story has a strict logic. But the reason why the ending feels uncomfortable is that it forgets to establish a necessary social role. In layman's terms

, what Eldia really needed was never a euthanasia plan,

it was pseudo-hedonism.
