AOTNR has angered a lot of fans, but some find it amazing.
Back in 2021, when the official Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin) manga ending was released, the initial response was much less tolerant than the one the anime adaptation finale got.
Fan theory in a manga format
Before the manga finale was out, there were various theories about where the story was going, and a lot of readers placed their bets on Eren annihilating the entire world outside of Paradis and completing the Rumbling, while defeating the alliance and his friends. Although the actual ending proved this theory wrong, there were still quite a lot of fans that would prefer to see this more sinister outcome, and this is how Attack on Titan no Requiem was created.
AOTNR is a fan created manga that offers another take on the last chapters of the Attack on Titan manga. It starts with Eren having the path conversation with Armin, and unlike the original manga, AOTNR shows Eren determination in advancing the Rumbling.
Requiem is updated in parts, and now there are three of them available online. The art style looks very similar to the work of Isayama, so readers can feel how much care and precision was put into the project.
Eren is the father of Historia’s child
The fan manga addresses some of the ambiguities in the original source. For example, we don’t know for sure why Historia never told anyone about Eren’s true plan. Requiem explores their relationship more, and the girl agrees with Eren that the Rumbling is the only option there is of stopping the cycle of violence. She promises to stay silent in exchange for Eren coming out of the entire thing alive. Moreover, AOTNR reveals that Eren is the father of Historia’s child.
Requiem further divided the Attack on Titan fandom. Those who hated the official manga ending, found comfort in the fan manga. And those who preferred the original work were furious. Eremika shippers were especially angered by the implied romance of Eren and Historia, and called the Historia’s child plot twist laughable.
In the end of the day, Attack on Titan no Requiem is nothing else but masterfully done fanfiction. And no matter how much a number of fans wanted this ending to be animated instead of the original one, the chances for that have always been pretty low. It’s a good escape strategy for those who dislike the official manga ending, though, so if you’re still struggling with the finale, you might want to give it a try.
