In my opinion, this is kind of like "If a cow is raised tethered to a tree stump, it will get used to it even when it is strong enough to break free " that sort of thing. Ymir was born and raised in a slave society and she is meek by nature. Aggression in human nature has been neutered(This is much like the exhortation of women in East Asian societies). Ymir has always been a slave, she has no self, so in life, so in death. And I did notice that the author paints a different side of Ymir — she once stopped her work to stare at a couple getting married. She has desires, the wedding is the only place where everyone laughs and congratulates the couple on stage, and the yellow sand of the battlefield is replaced by flying petals in this cruel world. when she was hunted down, she wept at the white petals of the flowers stained with blood, it symbolizes her disillusionment with a bright future. All titans are from Ymir, including the attack titan. The attack titan represents Ymir's deep desire for freedom, and its mission to give Ymir a chance to awaken. The first step in awakening is to acquire a sense and expression of resistance and not to defer to the royal family.

I think although it's not directly explained why Ymir was still acting as a slave to the King, we can understand if we consider some facts. Ever since a child, like maybe 7-8 years old, Ymir has always been a slave. She never understood what freedom is. Let's even take a simpler example, she had her tongue cut off and after acquiring the founding titans power, she could've healed her tongue anytime she wanted but she CHOSE not to cause in her mind, the king ordered it to be cut off and she can't defy him. It's kind of like Stockholm syndrome. She never had freedom so didn't even realize she was a slave to the king. For 2000 years in the coordinate/paths, where every sec is like an eternity. All until Eren, who showed her, she's neither a god nor slave, just a person and she can choose what to do. I think we see events like this in real life, like Feral children who grew up isolated from society in remote forests, they show behaviors more like to animals and the nature around them. And as essentially as Attack on Titan focuses a lot on Nature vs Nurture (i.e. Eren vs Zeke, Mikasa vs Ackerman blood, Armin vs Berthold's memory, Reiner as a soldier vs Reiner as a warrior), Ymir's behavior is a very interesting layer to the story and adds a lot of depth.

So now when you know what each brother had planned, if you two were on Paradis and could either help destroying the world that wants to murder all of your people, or help Zeke to... well... also do a genocide, but one where you won't be killed but loose the ability to reproduce. Which would you choose? Personally I'm with Zeke here. I think that's the lesser of two evils.

In the year 2022,connection we have with slavery is lost,slave psychology is unthinkable for most of us.We can only speculate about slave mentality.Also,one of the most important line runs in the background when Zeke screaming for Ymir to obey royal blood,"do you want to stay here forever...or you want me to end it?" is what Eren is telling her.It was now or never for Ymir.And she already lived enough for couple of "never"

I think this mentality is still present in my country, where people worship politicians like Gods or a higher being than them even if it is so obvious that they are only using them.

I hope you guys see this comment because i like this explanation so much. Yeah this episode was a lot! Something that i always heard growing up that the eyes are the mirror and u can see the soles of a person through them. Ymirs sole was pretty much lifeless, thats why we couldn't see them through the episode. the guys here explained her psychology very well and why she returned back to king fritz. So basically Eren was the only one who brought life to her sole by giving her a choice... he was the first one in a long time that didn't treat her like a slave and that brought life back to her sole and we were able to see her eyes and all the anger that have been trapped in her sole. if u noticed the first thing Eren said once he saw her and Zeke was introducing her "she was here all alone for this long?" .. he felt sorry for her and eventually gave her the choice to rebel against the whole world and basically destroy it. I really hope we get more informations about her later on because those informations are so crucial to the main story. Dont gete wrong, i adore this show, as told u guys before in YT, i feel so passionate about it that everyday must contain AoT in some way, BUT we must learn more about Ymir and get more explanations. Great reaction guys! Peace ✌️

You know what's kind of crazy about her backstory? the Founder Ymir and OUR Ymir are almost parallels. Abducted, indoctrinated, used, betrayed, then punished. I think that had a lot to do with why Founder Ymir returned to Eldia after inheriting the Power of the Titans. She had no identity outside of being Fritz' slave since she was a child. She didn't ever think for a second to use her Power to seek revenge. Instead, she felt suddenly useful, and if she was useful, she could give so many of her people joy and prosperity. And she believed she was finally good. Thought she was content. Respected even. - "To be honest... it wasn't all that bad. My food wasn't cold anymore... And neither was my bed off the ground.. But more than all... was the feeling of being needed by someone. I served a purpose in someone's life for the first time ever. To me, that was more precious than anything else. But then, one day... I was cruelly reminded that everything in my life... was a lie." I'm wondering if that's what happened right there at the end when she took that spear to the chest for the king. "I know you won't die from a mere spear, my *slave*, Ymir." Which, should be true. I'm not sure, but I think the implication at the end there is at that point, she chose *not* to heal her wounds and actually let herself die, remembering the blood-stained flower at the tree. Remembering what she was to these people /before/ they worshipped and revered and feared her Power. They tried to kill her after they blamed her for something she never did. "That's when I knew... This was my punishment. for convincing myself to believe... to feel needed by someone. It's what I deserved for continuing to lie to myself. This was my punishment." - “Christa... I felt the same. That it would be better if I had never been born. I was hated by the world just for existing. I… to give countless people joy, I gave up my life. But from that time, there was a wish I held in my heart. If someday, I was given a second chance at life… this time… I would live for no one but myself” Cut to Eren convincing her to help him erase the planet lol

I'd say so far here at this point of the story, it's not just that everything is horrible and the world is cruel and then again hammer on the point that cruelty begets cruelty and that humans are cruel. and admittedly the show does an incredible and realistic job of depicting that cruelty. It's telling us very very very relevant points and observations of our world today, things going on right now and for the past decade and for the past century and for the whole of human civilization- our enemies are humans too, they don't deserve to suffer, and it's incredibly hard to open up and understand one another, which is the solution instead of killing each other. But too many people are incapable of understanding. The show in its way is saying don't be a xenophobic racist, don't be mean to people, don't be an asshole. Be kind or your own actions will create the demon that will destroy you. How can a mere cartoon give us the answers to the real life themes it is posing to us if the real life world can't handle its own themes? In the end though, all those sentiments are just a wish, and people will end up fighting, so in this show I am just here for the glorious acting, animation, and entertainment.
