Is Eren the Father of Historia’s Child in Attack on Titan? – Epicstream

It has been quite a while since we last saw Historia in the final season of Attack on Titan. After all, she is one of the most beloved and popular characters, apart from Eren. She took the back seat this time and allowed the others to take the limelight.

The last time we saw Historia, she was sitting in a rocking chair and looked very pregnant. Also, right in front of her, a young man in farmer's clothes told her that she needed to take better care of her body.

Hmm, lets stop at this point. How fast does time fly? How did Historia become pregnant? Who was the baby daddy? Is she even married?

Obviously, many questions arise from Historias pregnancy situation. Fans divided themselves into two factions. The Eren Yeager is the baby's daddy, while the others assume that the farmer in front of Historia (Latin American fans coined the term Farmer-kun) is the father.

To support their claim, the Eren is the Father fans presented some arguments that really made a lot of sense. However, there are also counterarguments to invalidate this claim, most notably from the Mikasa X Eren fanbase and the existence of Farmer-kun. In your opinion, who do you think is the father?

At this point, we are very well aware that Historia developed a close relationship with Eren in the uprising arc of the anime. As a matter of fact, Eren reacted violently when the higher-ups of Paradis Island suggested that Historia should devour Zeke Yeager in order to gain the powers of the Beast Titan.

Eren did not want to see Historia as an incubator for future inheritors of the Founding Titan. This made us realize that Eren truly cares for her.

Meanwhile, they both share a lot of similarities and experiences in life. They both killed one of their parents, Eren, by eating Grisha, while Historia landed the last blow on Rod Reiss' abnormal titan. They also have older siblings with different ideologies from them. These are some of the reasons why they both relate to each other so much. One time, Eren even told Historia that she saved him from his nihilism.

There were also a few moments in the anime where we witnessed how Eren behaved in front of Historia. Just like Reiner, he would often blush and smile as he watched Historia do some maternal things. Who wouldnt? She is indeed, a beautiful sight. Mikasa even had a rage face in one of the episodes wherein she interfered in the middle of Eren and Historia.

Parallel to the manga, there were some events wherein Eren told Historia that she is a wonderful person, making Historia blush as well.

To support the claims and theories of the fans, they made quite a few assumptions, especially in the events of the Attack on Titan manga. Counter-arguments also resurfaced because of the main narrative of the story, especially Hajime Isayamas built-up on the relationship between Mikasa and Eren.

The first major assumption tackles the timeline between Historias pregnancy and Erens mission to Marley. Historia got pregnant right before Eren left for his mission. 10 months later, she gave birth in the middle of Erens rumbling. Historia even lied about her due date, which added to the speculations of the fans. Yelena even mentioned Historias pregnancy as a blessing. It's quite good timing, right? In Japan, pregnancy counts for 10 months instead of the normal 9 months.

In the manga, Historia tells Eren about her wanting to have a baby. Fans assumed she was hinting at Eren being her accomplice to do the deed. However, counter-arguments resurface, claiming that Historia only told Eren about it in order for her to escape and delay inheriting the Beast Titan powers.

On the other hand, the second major assumption involves Historias knowledge of the real plan of Eren. Take note that there are only two people who knew about Erens plan, Historia and Floch. This assumption indicates the level of trust between Eren and Historia. He even offered to alter Historias memories in order to deal with her sadness.

Lastly, the symbolism of a man holding a baby up in the air after the rumbling was done. Fans assumed that it symbolizes how poetic Eren is to bring a child into the world he always wanted. In 2018, Hajime Isayama even made a sketch of the supposed to be the last manga panel in Attack on Titan wherein he draws a medium-haired man holding a baby in his hand. The man said You are free. Fans speculated that this was Eren.

Fans also know how Isayama loves duality and foreshadowing in the series. They speculated that Eren is the same as his father, Grisha. Both of them loved someone of royal blood and loved a normal girl just like Carla Yeager. On the other hand, Eren has Historia as the royal blooded girl, a parallel to Dina Fritz, while Mikasa is the equivalent of Carla.

The existence of the young man in farmer's clothing has a lot of plot holes here and there. Isayama failed to reveal the name of this local, not to mention the details of Historias pregnancy. Whether it was irrelevant or unnecessary, we really cant say.

Anyway, this young man is depicted as the official partner of Historia in both the anime and the manga. He was some sort of childhood friend that bullied Historia a lot. He wanted to make amends by providing service to the orphanage managed by Historia. There, we assumed that they grew closer together and formed a partnership.

However, based on the expressions from Historia, fans still speculated a lot. She was very stoic and unhappy, the opposite of the Historia we remembered before. This is not the face of someone in love at all.

Others theorized that Historia only used the guy as a scapegoat to delay her devouring of the Beast Titan. The official ship between Farmer-kun and Historia is FarmHisu.

Officially, Hajime Isayama did not reveal any more details about Historias pregnancy. It is safe to assume that Farmer-kun is the lucky guy that knocked our Goddess. So much for being a bully!

A lot of people recognize this as a fact as well. If we are basing our story on the narrative built by Isayama about Eren and Mikasa, most especially in the last chapter of the Attack on Titan manga, then there is no way that Eren is the father at all.

Whether it is Eren, Farmer-kun, or even Reiner for the heck of it. It is up to you to decide. The bottom line is, we will always support our Cattle Farming Goddess until the end.
