Who Is The Father Of Historia's Baby

Okay, picture this: you're at a party, right? And everyone's buzzing about some juicy gossip. Except, instead of whose dating who, it's...whose baby that is. Intense, right? That's basically been the Attack on Titan fandom ever since Historia got pregnant.

Seriously, the internet nearly broke trying to figure out who knocked up our queen. And let's be honest, it's a bit of a weird situation.

So, who is the father of Historia's baby? Buckle up, because this isn't your average paternity case.

The Obvious Answer: Farmer-kun

The "official" answer, the one the manga gives us, is...a nameless, faceless farmer from Historia's orphanage. Remember him? He was the kind kid who used to bully Historia when they were younger but later apologized and helped her run her orphanage.

Yeah, that guy. The one Isayama seemingly pulled out of thin air.

(Side note: Did anyone else feel a little cheated by this reveal? Just me? Okay.)

Look, on the surface, it makes sense. Historia needed a way to protect herself and Paradis from Zeke's plan. Getting pregnant was a strategic move (albeit a risky one, gotta give it to her). And choosing someone outside of the military elite minimized the risk of political complications.

Plus, she seemed to have a somewhat friendly relationship with him. So, plot-wise, it kinda works.

But...Is It Really That Simple?

Here's where the theories start swirling like Titan smoke. A significant portion of the fandom has a hard time believing Farmer-kun is the whole story. Why? Because his character feels so underdeveloped and...well, convenient.

He essentially exists solely to be the baby daddy. Convenient, huh?

Many fans argue that there's a deeper, more complex narrative at play here. Isayama is known for his twists and turns, after all. Why would he suddenly opt for such a straightforward, almost boring resolution?

The Eren Jaeger Theory: The Spicy Option

This is the theory that keeps people up at night. The idea that Eren Jaeger, our conflicted protagonist, might be the father. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Eren? But...why?"

Think about it: Eren had a powerful drive to protect Historia and Paradis. He also had access to the Founding Titan's powers, including the ability to alter memories. Could he have used his power to ensure Historia's pregnancy and subsequent protection? And could he have used it to subtly influence her choice of partner, or even her memories?

The theory also highlights the complex and intimate bond between Eren and Historia. Remember their conversation on the farm? There was a certain...intensity there.

(Okay, let's be real, they had chemistry.)

Furthermore, some interpretations of the ending suggest Eren's actions were driven by a desire to create a future where his friends, including Historia and her child, could live in peace, even if it meant sacrificing himself.

Why It's Likely Not Eren (But Still Interesting)

While the Eren theory is compelling, there are also strong arguments against it. For one, it adds another layer of moral ambiguity to Eren's character, which some argue is already stretched thin. Also, Isayama has stated that his intention was to show how Historia was trying to live her own life separate from Eren, which this theory undermines.

Most importantly, the manga itself never explicitly states that Eren is the father. In fact, it leans heavily in the opposite direction.

So, while the Eren theory makes for great fanfiction, it's probably not canon.

Ultimately...We Don't Know For Sure

The truth is, the ambiguity surrounding the father of Historia's baby is likely intentional. Isayama wanted to leave room for interpretation and to explore the complexities of Historia's character and her choices.

Whether you believe Farmer-kun is the actual father or subscribe to a more elaborate theory, one thing is certain: the mystery adds another layer of intrigue to the already fascinating world of Attack on Titan. And honestly, the discussions and debates are half the fun!
