Woman with Mind Erasing powers

[Bhil]

I was on Tumblr and I was reading a couple of theories on SnK and prior to reading it I came upon this theory by

.

There are a shit ton of these already, but yeah, I feel like I should post mine up because I was talking to a friend of mine about it.
So, first off; in Episode One of SnK, Eren has that dream. They’re quick flashes and I managed to grab ahold of some of them a short while ago, and I saved them for future drawing purposes, but I’m probably never going to get around to that.
I was looking at them, and I noticed how…familiar the scenes seemed. It kind-of hit me why.

These soldiers here.They look like ordinary soldiers who have just died on a mission, but a few things hit me. One; that looks similar to the place where the Squad died, no? Two; count them. Four; plus one. Five. They look to be similar to the way the Squad died, but there’s one little thing; there’s five, not four people. This means Levi could’ve died here, right?
What am I getting onto? I’m thinking this; Eren’s in a time-loop. This has all happened before, but worse and in various ways, but either way, the outcome is the same; people die.
Why do I think this?

This was in the dream. Is this familiar? Good, because that’s exactly how Eren’s mother died.

And this is the Titan whom killed his mother, again, in the dream. Coincidence? It can’t be. I honestly don’t think that it’s Eren predicting the future, I honestly think it’s a time-loop.
It probably resets when he dies(for real, not when he discovers his power). You might be a little curious as to how I came about this, but yup, another screencap from the dream hit me.

This is Eren’s eye. Eren is dead. I know this because a) the blood and b) you’d blink if a wasp was on your eye, and they probably wouldn’t get to your eye if you were alive anyway. This is a dead Eren’s eye, despite it looking alive(the light in his eye), I really think it might just be the animator’s way of keeping away from spoilers(like the Squad’s death and the soldiers previously mentioned).

This also hit me fairly hard. This..would've been the fall of Wall Maria, when Titans invaded. The previous scene was the same but a little lighter and without Titans, then it quickly went to this, and..boom. Which means, essentially, all of this may have happened before.

All in all, as I’ve mentioned, I think he’s in this time-loop, and I don’t think he can get out of it without completing the mission he’s meant to do(I don’t know what it is; it could be defeating the Titans, or it could just be getting the Traitors killed, who knows?)
Another thing to back this up would be that, when he wakes up, he asks Mikasa if her hair’s gotten longer. Then, when they’re starting training, Eren tells her to cut it, and she does(and she keeps it cut). It would be perfectly logical, if you saw your sister with shorter hair in your dream(or a flashback to recount what’s happened) if her hair had grown.

There’s also the fact he was crying. I’m rather sure that you’d cry too if you just recounted your friends(and mother) dying, but he didn’t notice and he didn’t know why, and he doesn’t remember what’s in his dream(from what I can remember).
I think it’s happening in the manga as well; we’re getting these strange flashbacks at random points from Eren, and they don’t seem to make sense at all.

I also think that, if he dies in the time-loop he’s in, it all loops back to his childhood, where he’s sleeping by that tree, and Mikasa waking him up. He doesn’t remember a thing, and everything happens in a slightly different way(for example, the soldiers mentioned before, four die instead of five).

I’ve had a fair amount of time to think about this, and I don’t think it’s completely impossible. It would be fairly interesting, I think, if this was a time-loop. Maybe this is the successful time-loop? Who knows.

It's an excellent theory the time-loop thing could be plausible but what if Eren is actually been shown whats going to happen or told what going to happen. And those flashbacks that he had in the 1st episode are actually what his mind made out of what was told and he started to remember some of those details. But who could have shown/told Eren about his future?

This same woman who met Christa/Historia was the one who could have possibly shown Eren's future but then erased them.

It's been shown that they only remember little details in dreams, like Christa just did in this chapter. I think the woman taught and told them both some stuff about what's really going on in the world but for whatever reason made them forget her and what she taught them ''until they meet again''. If certain people can shift into the things they're trying so hard to kill, and others can control titans, it wouldn't be too far fetched to think someone else can alter humans minds just like the coordinate can alter titan minds. Not saying the woman can control humans actions, just that her memory wiping and Erens coordinate power both deal with the mind.

But why Christa/Historia and Eren?

Historia represents the brain or knowledge and Eren represents the brawn or physical power. This makes me think that she doesn't have any powers besides for the immense knowledge she knows on titans or she will know once it gets untapped from some psychological voodoo magic.

This is merely an incomplete theory and I wanted some more feedback on this so I could possibly develop it more. .-.

My theory was always that Eren could predict the future without him knowing as one of the side effects of his fathers experiments , but with this women makes me believe that she was the one who predicted all this events maybe ? & like you said somehow met Hirstoria & Eren when they were kids , but anyways , really interesting theory man , thanks for sharing .

Well, its interesting to say they least

No problem. ;D

I like the theory but remember that those images only appear in the anime so they might not be canon.

Saw this theory on tumblr too. It's very interesting. To me, the time-loop theory is more precise and exact than yours. Why? Because it shows hints throughout the whole series. Also, Mikasa saying "Did you have that weird dream again?" is also a hint that this has happened before. Anyways, both theories are good, but i preffer the time-loop one.

Exactly, I do prefer that theory over mine since it has more evidence to back itself up but with that woman that was shown in the new chapter I thought my theory would be more plausible. Too many questions left unanswered. ~_~

Indeed, everything is covered in mistery..but that makes it more and more interesting.

good theory but eren saw differnt images in the manga he saw the fall of wall maria and a titan that looks like the one from before the fall, you can also see erwin with both arms

however on the next page mikasa says bye to eren but in the next few panels she's telling him to wake up the title of this chapter also says to you 2000 years from now. is there a connection? right now i can't tell but it looks like its just the author drawing it random fight with a titan

edit:
acually going back i don't think its mikasa

she has shorter hair then mikasa and says good bye, i think its that women. eren can't remeber anything from dream just like historia that women saying goodbye is the mind eraser women.

Don't go stealing them and posting it on other forums. I'm watching you...

Awesome theory!​

How potently beautiful.. And horrific. Wouldn't that be interesting if that surfaced to truth?
God I hope Eren doesn't die in such a brutal way(That picture looks so brutal)..
