He did this specifically to ask him if he had any regrets about his family. He knows that his grandfather is interested in baseball, and so those items were used to lure him over. It’s no coincidence that he has a baseball and glove. Keep in mind, Eren has his father’s memories, so he knows who his grandfather is.īut what was shown in the anime are the items Eren has with him. In the manga, he seems to recognize who Dr. This wasn’t really depicted that well in the anime, but Eren’s run-in with his grandfather wasn’t entirely random.
