Many anime viewers agree that Eren is a compelling character, and some even go so far as to call him one of the best-written lead in the genre. In comparison, some label him as an antagonist as well.
However, as the story's protagonist (primarily), it's only fair for Eren to have his fair and big share of dialogues. And Isyama did a great job in providing him with some solid ones.
Let's look at the top 15 best Eren Yeager quotes that have impacted our lives forever!
15. "I'll Wrap It Around You Again... As Many Times As You Want. Now And Forever. That's A Promise!"
He punched Dina Fritz's Titan, which accidentally triggered the coordinate and prevented certain death for everyone. In this scene, Mikasa told Eren she was happy to share her memories with him. And this is when he says this to Mikasa and resolves to battle the Titans no matter what.
The show's remarkable climax proved the enigma of Attack on Titan was far from solved.
14. "You Were Ignorant Children. And All Of That Was Beaten Into You By Ignorant Adults... What Could You Have Done To Fight Back Against That?"
Propaganda is an effective instrument capable of turning even the kindest of people into passionate supporters of a nefarious cause. Like this, Marley teaches its residents that Eldians are the lowest of the low.
This statement proves that Eren realizes how all of this is Marley's fault. However, he has come too far to give up his cause now.
13. "I Don't Have Time To Worry If It's Right Or Wrong, You Can't Hope For A Horror Story With A Happy Ending."
Eren's only intent was to wipe out the Titans.
He had already immersed himself so deeply in the conflict that he knew retreat was impossible. This powerful dialogue by Eren shows how deep he had dipped himself in the titan-extermination business.
12. "We're Born Free. All Of Us. Free. Some Don't Believe It, Some Try To Take It Away. To Hell With Them."
AoT delves thoroughly into the concept of freedom. Eldians behind the fortifications are deprived of their individuality and treated like livestock. However, Eren could not accept it and would do anything, including risk his own life, to alter the situation.
This dialogue shows his determination to change his and the fate of his fellows once and for all.
11. "I Knew You Were More Of A Hero Than Anyone Else."
Eren's last words to Armin - ugh, so heart-touching!
Indeed, it was incredibly heartbreaking for Eren to see his closest comrade fall in battle beside him. It's rather painful. These words appeared when Armin's body was reduced to ash by the massive Titan.
10. "I Won't Hesitate To Take Theirs."
To put it simply, Eren's perception of his opponents is now fairly binary. Eren is unmoved by their mistreatment of him and has decided that revenge is the best course of action.
Eren has never shied away from standing up for himself in the face of oppression. With this statement, he further clears the fans with his brutal approach. He will rip his enemies off of everything.
9. "I Never Needed To Happen."
A realization like that isn't really reassuring.
The circumstances that led to Eren's transformation into a titan were revealed to him and Historia after they were abducted by her father, Rod. Grisha's mother was Historia's sister Frieda, and Grisha took the Founding Titan from her before murdering other members of the Reiss family.
Grisha injected Eren with the serum that would eventually convert him into a titan. Then he let his son devour him. When Eren first learned this, he blamed himself for the deaths of many troops who had idolized him because of his perceived uniqueness.
Before Historia revealed to him everything Grisha did was to preserve humanity, Eren was willing to die to return the Founding Titan to the Reiss family.
8. "I'm Not Planning On Handing It Down To Any Of You."
Eren and his comrades discussed who should take over as Attack Titan and Founding Titan after his death, as inheritors of the Nine Titans only lived for thirteen years.
All of his close friends offered to take his place, but he refused to allow any of them to eat him since he loved them too much to see them all go so soon. Even though he turned into their enemy, Eren cared for them and would do anything to set them free.
7. "I Want To See And Understand The World Outside. I Don't Want To Die Inside These Walls Without Knowing What's Out There!"
Suppose you were forced to spend your life behind walls because huge, man-eating giants were always on the prowl. Well, that's a bit insane now.
However, the Eldians had no choice but to take shelter behind the fortifications to ensure their people's survival. Once assured of a life beyond these restricted walls, Eren spoke these lines and promised to reclaim their freedom.
6. "I Believe My Squad Will Be Victorious! Fight Well!"
After Eren's talents were found, he joined Levi Squad and gained invaluable training from them. They grew close as a team and eventually won his confidence.
Levi's Squad, in their combat against the Female Titan, did not care for the lives of their fellow warriors and would not pause to save the wounded. Eren trusted them even though he was new to the team, and his statement shows this.
5. "You're Not Soldiers. You're Not Warriors. You're Just Murderers."
Eren battled against the men he previously looked up to after learning that Bertholdt and Reiner were the Colossal Titan and the Armored Titan. But they were victorious and took him and Ymir hostage.
Reiner and Bertholdt took a break in the woods and discussed with their victims in-depth.
Because the two were referring to themselves as "warriors" rather than "soldiers," Eren blasted the latter term at them.
4. "I'm Gonna Destroy Them! Every Last One Of Those Animals That's On This Earth!"
Eren's lifelong dream had been to venture beyond the city's defenses and battle with the giants. After the death of his mother, though, he prioritized this objective above all else.
Following the death of his family and the destruction of his home at the hands of the giants, Eren vowed vengeance.
He and the others eventually discovered that the titans weren't the real threat but that other countries had been using the huge cannibals to eliminate them.
3. "Ever Since I Was A Kid... Mikasa. I've Always Hated You."
OK, not going to lie, but we all audibly heard our hearts breaking on this dialogue.
This one is hard to top among the most disturbing statements Eren made during the whole series. And nobody can deny Eren and Mikasa's long history, so this statement bummed everyone.
This sentence established without a reasonable doubt that Eren was the antagonist and that he had severed all links to his past.
2. "You'll Never Know. If You're Not The One Who's Continuing To Take That Path... Unless You Keep Moving Forward."
At the beginning of season 4, Eren recently gave a lecture in which he emphasized the need to take a stand for one's beliefs, even if it meant enduring hardship. This is a fantastic sentence that rings true in many walks of life.
1. "I'm The Same As You. I Didn't Have Any Other Choice."
Eren loathed the guy he had always considered his elder brother once he discovered Reiner was the Armored Titan. Eren had no idea why Reiner, Bertholdt, and Annie had to destroy Shiganshina and Wall Maria until the Survey Corps discovered the truth about Paradis and Marley.
To prevent his opponents from discovering his whereabouts, Eren traveled to Marley while disguised.
Using his manipulative skills, Eren convinced Falco to bring Reiner to him. He informed his old buddy that they had more in common than they had realized. And this is where he informs Reiner of how far Eren has come in this battle.e., exactly to his level.
