Many people do not have a good understanding of the role of Magath, here is an analysis, Magat as the warrior instructor of the Malay camp, trained generation after generation of giant warriors to invade. He was deeply aware of the evils of this kind of behavior, sympathized with the soldiers under his command, and did not approve of the practice of high-level militarism, but he had always firmly carried out this evil deed, because he thought it was worth sacrificing for the sake of the pot rack, for the sake of righteousness. Even in the face of the launching of the earth sound, he never lowered his head, stubbornly insisted on declaring the legitimacy of his actions, attacked the Island of Pa with the impropriety of annihilation, used history, hatred, and righteousness to whitewash his ugliness, and continued to uphold his past insistence on implementing the plan to stop the earth sound.
But after witnessing Reiner's confession and Jabi's apology, he could no longer insist on the set of words used to whitewash himself, and really faced his heart, only to find that he was just unwilling to face his own sins, using legitimate reasons to defend himself, he actually cared about the children who were sent out by himself, and also cared about the civilians who died because of himself. Jia Bi, who has always been strong, can face up to his mistakes and bow his head to apologize to the enemy, so why can't he do it? Magat could no longer restrain himself and held out his hand, but did not know what to say.
Then let's talk about the rest of the content, which may involve spoilers, so we should read it carefully. The next day, Magat put aside his reticence and apologized to Koh Pa, realizing how ugly it was to kidnap others with history and hatred, and realizing that the righteousness he insisted on was nothing more than an excuse, and he famously said: "It is not right to make you bear your sins just because you are the same people, but it is our duty to faithfully pass on this bloody and ignorant history to future generations."
After the Battle of the Harbor, Magat decided to give up his life to blow up the ship in order to stop the pursuing soldiers, and at the last moment of his life he was praised as a hero by Coach Chatis, but he could not be proud, because he realized that he actually hoped that the children who had lost their lives because of the so-called righteousness could live a normal life, and the mistakes he had made could not be repaired. Coach Shadys finally told him that at least the children would be proud of you, and Magat finally accepted himself and disappeared with an explosion.
In fact, this is the case from beginning to end in giants, the author emphasizes the importance of remembering history, and does not think that people can really understand each other, and the contradictions between people are also objective and will not be simply eliminated, so history will continue to repeat, and this repetition is an inevitability, Isayama obviously agrees with this sentence "The only lesson people get from history is that people will never learn from history."
However, although it is said above that "the only lesson that people learn from history is that people do not learn any lesson from history", Isayama's view of this is actually as stated in the 22nd episode of the giant's final season: "It is precisely because everyone thinks like this, and everyone has such a demon in their hearts, that the world will become like this" "So, what should we do in such a world?" "Try to get out of this forest, and even if we don't end up going out, we should never give up on our efforts."
There will be wars when there are contradictions, the Eldian Empire is not willing to allow other countries to be equal to themselves, the Malays firmly stand in the position of victims to enslave and abuse the descendants of Eldia, the Paraty Islanders remember that the hatred of modern times is to be extinguished, and the world coalition forces will fight back in order to protect themselves. If people can't empathize with others and don't learn to empathize, war will always exist and tragedies will keep happening. However, mercenary politicians have intensified their efforts to provoke the people of the world to prevent integration, and the people of the world are also secretly selfish and are more willing to put themselves in a favorable position. Perhaps another martial emperor who unified the world was needed.
