The best twist arenβt the most shocking, but those that makes one see the story in an entire different way, that, in a way, recroactively Β« rewrite Β» it. Thus Erenβs twist blows everything else out of the water.
Thereβs not a single of the earliest scenes that is not recontextualized by it.
Even in term of execution is near perfect: it establishes that something is way way off with Eren since his re-introduction after the TS but never addresses clearly what, creating thus anticipation through ambiguity, and when this Β« what Β» is explicitated, the revelation is tragic and spectacular, surpassing in magnitude and intensity even the Readerβs expectations. In my opinion the path chapters are the absolute peak of AoT.
