Why this theme belongs to Armin
(well, imo anyway? Lemme obsess okay it's all I've listened to for 3 months straight)
Alright, so this theme hasn't been used in Season 4 so far. Not in Part 1, 2 or even 3 (I have gone through P3 again and again but didn't seem to hear this anywhere, but if anybody knows better, please tell).
Which means it will be used in P4. For what scene we can only speculate. Some say it will be used when Falco makes his entrance with Annie and Gabi.
The theme immediately before this one is Guilty Hero, which was used when Zeke sold out his parents to Marley. Now, Guilty Hero is sad, tragic, hopeless, filled with regrets - you get the feeling of 'I know I made the wrong choices but I was only trying to be a Hero'. The Successor, coming immediately afterwards, is loud, grand, majestic, motivational and full of hope.
To me, this theme screams Armin in its entirety. The reason I say that is because Armin is an extremely well written representation of "Hope amongst Despair". What he stands for in SnK is humanity - the trait.
Humans collectively have several different facets. Greed, selfishness, hatred, obsession and so on. For each, there is at least one character in SnK representing them and I'm not gonna get into that for now. But what does Armin represent? Humanity, as in compassion, kindness and understanding. While appearing outwardly weak in terms of physical prowess and being vulnerable to things like self-hatred, self-doubt and low self-esteem, he is strong in his convictions and beliefs in not engaging in bloodshed unless left with no other choice. Strong in his willingness to understand, above all else, before drawing his blades. In SnK's brutally cruel world (that mirrors our own real world in several ways), it is sheer strength and courage to consider your swords and bullets as only a last resort. And if you know how SnK ends, you know what his idea of freedom is. The little beautiful moments that permeate our larger sense of life as a whole.
Armin is a majestic character, and this is, imo, a fact I hope everyone can slowly grow to appreciate over time.
So when I listen to The Successor, I think nothing could suit him better. It starts out in soft grandeur and gently grows in splendour... Optimism, hope, faith and strength swell to the brim and when the horns hit at the 2:08 mark, it overflows. Armin is in a way, really, the "successor" to the story once it ends. The future of the world post rumbling is in what he can make of it, from what his visions entail. So I really think it fits him.
I'm reminded of how in S3, Armin's heroic and brave sacrifice before Bertholdt was amplified by the track SymphonicSuite Part 2-2nd: Shingekinokyojin and my god, was that a MAJESTIC theme!!! So I'm really hoping The Successor is used for Armin in S4 Part4 in some way at least. Regardless, even if I'm wrong, in my heart, this one belongs to Armin Arlert, 15th Commander of the Survey Corps.

from being the boy who wanted nothing more than to be the Military police and live a quiet life to becoming the man that would die proud as a member of the scout regiment, he grew up (and so did we)

I'm actually really happy they extended Armin and Eren's final conversation in the anime and think it flows infinitely better than it did in the manga, but I also liked how it highlighted a very important aspect of Eren's character that alot of people in the fandom forget.
Above all else, Eren is a slave to his own childish nature and selfishness that stems from his need to be free. Regardless of how much freedom he will take away from others.
As much as he want's to believe that he committed such atrocities for the sake of his loved ones, it doesn't change the fact that he still put them all in danger, and people he cared about still died in the process. In the end everything that happened was because he was a slave to his own nature. His own selfishness to be "free" no matter who he had to hurt.
And that's the tragedy of his character, the moment he realizes this, it absolutely destroys him.

I also love how Armin's way of comforting Eren is way better than in the manga. He doesn't try to make him feel better over his actions or make him find some comfort from the results of those action, but instead he tells him that even if he'll find eternal damnation after he dies, he won't be alone. Armin will share that burden with him and follow him into hell after he is gone. His own sins are intertwined with his best friends, and he'll make sure that even in hell they will always be connected.

Saw people on twitter talking about the boy with the stick and his dog representing “The Fool” in tarot cards and I can’t stop thinking about it.

Meaning: The Fool represents new beginnings, having faith in the future, being inexperienced, not knowing what to expect, having beginner's luck, improvisation and believing in the universe.
Reversed: Chaos, Folly, Lack of direction, Naivety, Poor judgement, Stupidity
Upright card: Beginnings, Innocence, Leap of faith, Originality, Spontaneity
