I don't know why, but while I'm reading fanfiction and other things I notice
that people sometimes quote how no one wants Eren to die because he's "the key
to humanity". I've always thought he was immortal so that confused me.

Because of Eren's Titan skills, he heals fast, which seems kind of immortal.

Does Eren have a weak spot that will kill him?

Also note that Levi said in an episode that there is no way for Eren to die
(at least as of that point, given that no one has found a way to do so), but
there is a way to permanently injure him. So does that make him immortal? And
why do people say he's not immortal like he will die or something?

question
attack-on-titan
Is Eren immortal?


Lets compile what we know.

Eren up until now has show none of the signs of an immortal ability but only
high regenerative abilities. He has been capable of replacing/regenerating
lost limbs and recover his formal facial features. Eren hasn't been hit with
any critical injury that would cause any normal human dead.

Eren is only a _die hard_ character due his regenerative abilities but it's
safe to assume that if his head is blown off or his heart is screwed over he
_could_ die.

It has yet to be determined, however information for Season 2 assuming they
follow the manga suggest that Titan Shifters may be considerably long lived or
age differently after reaching maturity. Eren at present has only demonstrated
the ability to regenerate and Annie showed some signs of fearing death, so its
unlikely that Titan Shifters are outright Immortal. Plus the Colossal Titan
chose to shift and escape suggesting Eren could have killed him.

**No** , Eren is not immortal and can be killed. **Eren isn't different from
other Titan Shifter**. If anything he is actually weaker than most of the
Titan Shifter we have seen, yet some have died. Out of the seven introduced
Titan Shifter, two were killed so far, so it is safe to say that Eren has the
same weakness as they had and that he can be killed.

**Eren is a Titan** and will always be a Titan. Titans can all regenerate
quickly, but the only weaknesses known so far is **destroying their necks**
beyond repair. We know that not only regular Titans have this weakness, but
Titan Shifter also have this weakness as we can see Annie protect her neck by
all means.

If anything, I'd say **the Armored Titan might be immortal** as we haven't
seen a way to pierce the armored skin so far. He can be killed in human form,
but if he can transform fast enough for it to happen, we have yet to find a
way to stop him.

Eren is not immortal. In Chapter 65: Dreams and Curses, Krista Lenz's
(Historia Reiss') father tells her

> to turn into Titan and eat Eren.

And below is the part of manga from Chapter 66: Wish:

I think this will explain that Eren is not immortal and can be killed.

No, he is not.

> 13 years after becoming a shifter. This is called The Curse of Ymir.
