Is Eren Yeager Dead?
Well, the truth be told, both in the manga and the anime adaptation,Eren Yeager meets the same fate as a few of his mates, which is his ultimate demise.Bound by his deep motivation to bring peace to Paradis Island by wiping out the world outside the walls, Eren pursued Rumbling. On the other hand, his friends and the other soldiers can’t bear to see this happening in real, and they take the bold step to confront Eren and fight a battle to the death.
As the battle progresses, Armin is on the verge of being defeated, and the same goes for Reiner and Annie.

Later, she appears on the battlefield with Eren’s severed head and kisses him, a really emotional moment for the fans while Armin mourns the death of his beloved friend. As the episode ends, we also see Mikasa sitting beside Eren’s grave, missing him.
Why Did Eren Yeager Sacrifice His Life?
In a world infested with Titans, Eren’s only dream was to experience what Freedom felt like. However, with the power of the Titans bestowed upon him, Eren realized that true freedom for his friends and the world was only possible if a world without the Titans was somehow created, and that thing demanded Eren’s sacrifice.
Without thinking of his own life, Eren plotted the whole Rumbling and created a scenario where his friends were left with no choice but to kill him while also freeing Ymir from her obsession with King Fritz, motivating her to give up her Titan powers. Eren’s sacrifice made his friends a hero of humanity, and while the battles and wars still took place in the world, a far better life was bestowed upon them with the extension of the Titans.
