Hajime Isayama's "Attack on Titan" manga recently released chapter 85, and the installment hints at shocking revelations and unlikely relationships. Some of the latest spoilers are now claiming that Dr. Grisha Yeager's three books are hinting that Zeke and Eren might be related in some way.

According to Mobile & Apps, a lot of fans are trying to predict what will happen in chapter 86. It seems that most of them agree that the child featured in the photograph they found in Dr. Yeager's basement is Zeke, who is otherwise known as the Beast Titan.

After all, as most fans can remember, the two seemed to have some sort of a history, with the latter mentioning the former when conversing with Eren. Regardless of whatever prior relationship the two had, Zeke seems to scorn Dr. Yeager. The former seems to believe that and Eren are both victims of the doctor.

Furthermore, there are also theories that Eren and Zeke could be closely related: so close that it could be possible that they are even half-brothers, at the very least. It can be seen that the two have striking resemblances, which first piqued the interest of the fans when Zeke was first introduced in the series.

Ecumenical News reports that it is possible for the three books to hold information about the Titans' origins, the history of the world, and finally the Coordinate, which can help Eren and will eventually disclose his true identity. Regardless, the first two books are also indicative that the human race is not on the verge of extinction after all and that there are still other human settlements throughout the land.

In any case, the truth will be revealed once the 86th chapter of the "Attack on Titan" manga is released in the Oct. 8 issue of Shueisha Shonen Jump Weekly.
