Chapter 65By the end of the series I can definitely see her becoming the queen. Now her becoming the queen was already foreshadowed in Volume 14, chapters 55 & 56 when they brought it up. That's the only thing that worries me when it comes to Historia because this could be where she dies, but we'll just have to see. I mean with how Isayama structures out the story it's usually 4 chapters equal 1 Volume. 4 Volumes equal 1 arc. so basically it's like this:
The Transformation Arc lasted from Volumes 1-4.
The Female Titan Arc lasted from Volumes 5-8
The Clash of The Titans Arc lasted from Volume 9-12 (ending at Chapter 50).
The Uprising Arc (current arc) started at Chapter 51 (1st in Volume 13). Now remember what I said 4 chapters equal 1 Volume, and 4 volumes equal 1 arc. So if you do the math 4 volumes would equal 16 chapters which means this arc will (should) end at Chapter 66. Which is after this month's chapter and that means next month not only will it end Volume 16 (The current volume), but also this current arc as well. So considering that that the next chapter should be the last chapter to this arc holds a lot of wait, and that's also why I'm worried about the next chapter too.
AoTThat could happen, but remember the interview linked you too a while back, I remember that in that interview it was stated that there wouldn't be any new mysteries to come across with this arc. It's a good theory, but I'm not sure if that's what is going to happen. You know Despite what Historia did in this chapter does it reduce her character at first I was gonna say yeah, but then I thought about and looked at it again.
When you look at it again Eren's the one who told her you should do this he didn't say don't do it, he said you should do it. Plus loking at Historia's face their was legit tears coming out of her eyes like she's going to regret doing this. Plus throughout this arc they were starting to become friend and for her especially after Ymir left so would hurt her on the inside for doing it.
See had Eren told her no I'm sure she would've thought something else, yeah her father would force to, but I feel like she'd inject the serum into him instead of herself. So yeah Rod told her to become to inject the serum, but Eren's the one who motivated her to do so. Plus that line she said to Eren "I was happy when you called me a normal person." and like I said there were tears coming out when she said it.
I guess what I'm trying to say is Historia's action in this chapter didn't kill all of her character development I'd say half of it is gone. Although we'll just have to wait and see what happens in next chapter which if my theory is correct when it comes to Isayama's structure for the manga, Chapter 66 (next one) should be the final chapter to this current arc. So whatever happens next chapter will decide everything on where this series will go for not just Historia, but also for Eren, Levi, Mikasa, Kenny, and the others.
Lol, you don't need to defend Historia. I myself could see that the tears in her eyes were legit and that she is suffering a lot right now. This chapter didn't really change my overall impression of her in a negative way- it actually made me feel even more pity for her. She even resembles me in some things tbh.
I just think that she has a long way ahead of her.
What kind of serum is this?! Like, where does this rotten king get it?
