The latest Attack on Titan episodeshocked everyone with its twist at the end. In the entire episode, we saw Eren and Zeke looking at Grisha’s memories. However, there were several moments when Grisha was able to see Zeke. So, it’s no wonder that many fans want to know how exactly is that possible.
Episode 4 of Attack on Titan Season 4 Part 2 was definitely one of the most remarkable episodes of the entire series. The episode was especially surprising for fans who didn’t read the manga. The fact that Eren influenced Grisha to kill Frieda and the rest of King’s family was genuinely shocking.
Of course, Attack Titan’s ability to take a glimpse into the future changes everything we know so far. And several fans are still scratching their brains, wondering who exactly is the story’s true villain. But apart from that, the community is also debating on how Grisha managed to see Zeke when his son wasn’t available there physically.

Here’s How Grisha Could See Zeke in Attack on Titan
Theory 1: Grisha Saw Zeke Through Eren’s Memories
The first theory is pretty obvious. Grisha clearly stated that inheriting Attack Titan gives him the ability to see future Inheritor’s memories, in this case, Eren. Every time Grisha saw Zeke, Eren was standing behind his Father. So, it’s possible that Grisha was looking at himself and Zeke through Eren’s perspective/memories. Meaning, in reality, Grisha wasn’t hugging anyone, but when seen through Eren’s memories, it seems like he is physically interacting with Zeke.
Theory 2: Grisha Briefly Entered The Paths
It’s possible that after eating the Founding Titan, Grisha briefly entered the Paths. At the same time, Eren and Zeke were also at the paths. And because Eren has the Coordinate and Zeke has the Royal blood, a physical connection is formed between the Father and the sons. Even before eating the Founding Titan, Grisha was aware of Eren and Zeke’s presence, which might be because he tapped into Eren’s future memories. But Grisha saw Zeke physically standing in front of him only after eating the Founding Titan.
