In **Season 3 Episode 9** we see that

According to **Season 3 Episode 6** and **Chapter 89** ,

Historia, however,

Is there an explanation for this?

Why did Historia see her father's memories?


As far as I know, it was never discussed as of the release of the most recent
chapter. That specific scene in **Chapter 68** was mostly what happened in the
anime. It could be explained in a future chapter. Looking closely at **Episode
9** ,

> father's memories.

In the manga, this was not exactly what happened.

> as her father's memories were shown. From my interpretation, it could be
> that she was just surprised at what she had done.
