If we kill all our enemies... over there... will we finally... be free?

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

The ocean fulfils one dream while revealing how much Eren’s idea of freedom has changed. What delights his friends has become another boundary filled with enemies.

Spoilers for Attack on TitanShow the scene

When the Scouts finally reach the ocean, most of them celebrate a place they knew only from books. Eren instead points across it and asks whether killing their enemies will bring freedom. Chapter 90 becomes episode 59; the subtitle pauses are retained here, while some translations use “destroy” instead of “kill.”
