Attack on Titanhas been wondering for a long time whether the Curse of Ymir is just a headcanon or should be taken at face value. There have been several pieces of evidence that supported the theory, making fans hesitant to disregard the theory. In the manga, Eren states he only has four more years to survive. Even Eren Kruger and Tom Ksaver become incredibly ill in their final years of life as Titans.
If the Curse of Ymir actually existed, the fans have always pondered upon this one simple question: has the curse been lifted after Ymir’s release?
Ymir was offered freedom in exchange for her supreme power by Eren. Sue accepted the offer, which brought fans to question whether Ymir was actually free. And if she was free, then it implied that the curse was lifted as well.
Since theAttack on Titanmanga is already concluded, and we saw Eren’s fate getting sealed, fans will never be able to know whether he was able to live past the 13-year limit or not.
