Board 8 > Very Quick and brief spoilery question about Attack on Titan *spoilers*

(+) Yeah! (+)

The plot twist is gonna be both Erwin and armin die because they're taking so damn long

---

And it went to armin.

Rest easy, commander

---

So when I saw the new recruit, the redhead guy with the anime hair, obviously he was going to stick around because of his design. But God damn, I was hoping Marlo would be the one sticking around

---

So Humanity does exist, and they are around 1920's era of advanced

---

This info dump is harder to keep up with than the ending of Chrono cross. We're bringing up ymir again?

9 titans?


---

Yeeeaah it gets real heavy real fast lol

---

You know that look on grishas face, then on zekes, when they get told the truth?

Dat me

---

They....made it to the ocean

Can't believe you watched the whole thing that quickly.

seriously who the fuck are they working for then

I know theres a beast titan but I can't see there being a council of titans gathering together and putting a plan together involving mole humans

If you flip titans and humans in that sentence, this was actually pretty close.

So There were a race of people who could transform into titans. The Followers of Ymir. The Eldians. There were 9 specific titans. One is the Attack Titan, currently Eren.

Eventually their king abandoned them and fucked off to some nearby continent and built the wall. The wall is made of Titans reinforcing themselves, so he used his own people for that.

The rest of the Eldians or whatever they're called, were captured and lived in confinement, such as Eren's dad. The other people somehow gained the ability to bring forth this titan ability in the Eldians but in a bad way, they use it as punishment and sort of used the King's island to drop bad titans off.

The King wants nothing to do with anything anymore so that's where all of the conspiracies and shit about keeping the outside world hidden come from.

The other race of people, Starts with an M, have control of 7 of the titans. The founding Titan is apparently the best one of all and belongs to the King's bloodline. I guess the idea is to have Historia receive it again. But Eren has other things in mind, apparently he can tap into the power of all of the other titans.

So its kinda weird, even though they didn't agree with the ideals and methods, humanity in the walls are now taking up the King's fight.

So Ymir is probably not actually THE Ymir, but a false prophet a church made up to gain power. it was by some cruel twist of fate she DID end up with titan powers by eating Reiner's friend. But its heavily implied Ymir is dead now.

Oh, and you die after 13 years. That sucks.

---

Life was so much simpler when it was humanity vs. Titans

---

The Saiyans!

---

I guess I should've seen Zeke being from a different place ahead of time

He knew how to baseball pitch and he seems to be wearing like, army pants

---

Thinking about it, the owl said Armin and Mikasa

Would it be crazy if someone can implant memories across every titan user across time and thus change history?

---

Now your somehow further along in the show than I am. I need to catch up.

The owl?

The owl?

that was the code name for the spy who helped Eren's father and their resistance

---

Oh yeah. I was thinking of an actual owl like... I don't remember that lol

you don't remember kaepora gaebora's iconic cameo?

Would you like to hear the history of Eldia and Marley again, Grisha?
>Yes
No

---

I would specify some things, but I think you still have an episode left?
---

he's watched the last ep:

They....made it to the ocean

^ this is the final scene of season 3

---

One thing I definitely noticed is that they acknowledged the fanbase alot

They brought back that creepy face Jean made in Season 1

They called him a horse face again

they got Levi in that cleaning outfit again

They brought back Potato Girl's nickname

The Kawaii titan

and so on

---

I liberated the radio station and apparently disbanded Team Rocket again. Considering they were ready to come back and we're even calling for their leader, they broke apart really easily. I was pissed off because I thought the director of the radio station was going to give me rock climb something. I'm a little annoyed. Also I've finally been running into different Johto Pokemon. If I ran into Houndour or natu earlier in the game, I would have totally rocked them on my team

Wrong punnytopic

But Eren has other things in mind, apparently he can tap into the power of all of the other titans.

This is where you're a bit off. It's not that Eren can do things that any other Titan Shifters can't just because of plot convenience. It's because he is the Attack Titan AND the Founding Titan.

When Wall Maria initially fell, Grisha went to the the royal family and pleads for Frieda Reiss (Historia's half-sister and Founding Titan at the time) to get off her ass and actually do something. She refuses to do anything as all the royals who get the Founding Titan seem to be inclined to do after becoming the Founding Titan due to the old king's will or whatever, so he ate her and gained the Founding Titan (and killed most of the Reiss family in the process). So when Grisha had Eren eat him, Eren also became both. This is why Rod Reiss tried to have Historia become a Titan and eat Eren. (I'm still not clear why he knew he himself shouldn't become a Titan.)

Not having royal blood, Eren can't typically actually use the Founding Titan's ability to control pure Titans. The one exception to this, which he realizes during the meeting when he suddenly yells out, is when he came into contact with the Smiling Titan, aka Zeke's mom, who was a Titan of royal blood. He keeps quiet not because he has his own plan but because he realizes the only way they can make use of that information is if the military leaders decide to be complete bastards and turn Historia into a Titan.

---

I honestly forgot Eren has the Founding Titan powers

---

That's fair! You find out about the Founding Titan well after Eren uses those powers.
---

So does that mean if he ate the other 7 titans he could gain their powers and become the ultimate titan or something?

---

We can only hope!

I am confused at this point, however, as to why Eren survived being eaten in the Battle of Trost instead of the Titan who ate him becoming human again. I have no idea if they ever explain the specifics of that.
---

I figured maybe the person has to be digested for the power transfer to occur and Eren broke out before that happened.

---

I guess that makes sense. Berthold wouldn't have been able to transform again when he got eaten, nor would anyone else who had just been ripped out of their Titan form.

Of course I guess the guy Ymir ate just sucked?

---

Haha wow, I never thought about that, what a plot hole

---

Imagine if the fate of humanity was left up to RANDOM OLD MAN

---

you have to bite down on their spinal cord, this is explained in season 3.

Eren was swallowed whole. his spinal cord was not bitten.

he transformed and broke free before his spine was digested in stomach acid.


---

Yeah, the power is in the spinal fluid. That's why the injection needle has the same effect.

So these are the reasons why I made this topic

They did explain what happened to Marco. Poor Guy

BUT they never showed Annie out of the crystal

well there we go

---

Well there you go

---

manga readers waited for like 20 years to find out what was going on with Annie (that's hyperbole obviously)

I'll leave it at that

if you want a little more info, that isn't too spoilery

Annie has only been out of the Crystal for about ONE chapter as of right now. so yeah. prepare to wait a while.

---

So when's the next season

---

2020

---

Fall 2020 to be precise

---

this year? Isn't ...it the last season?

And the manga is apparently still going?

---

Manga appears to be ending soon.
Anime will likely cover it all. It's a little dense from where the season left off but it should be doable with 24 episodes.

---

I have a feeling season 4 is gonna be split into two parts like season 3 was

so it'll probably be fall 2020 and XX 2021

there's absolutely no way they cover the entire rest of the manga without splitting... unless it ends up super rushed, which I would be really disappointed with.


---

Yeah, I expect them to do two cours like they did with season 3.

---

I had one more thought but I kept forgetting to post it, glad this topic is still here

So the only thing I don't get now is the wall titans

They did explain the old King was behind it, but I thought Titans died after 13 years.

Are those the same titans from the ol days? How come they're not dying?

If not, do they rotate them out from dedicated people of the Church every 13 years?

Does that mean they have a big supply of Titan juice somewhere? Why didn't the military discover it?

I know that big underground crystal bunker was destroyed but it seemed like a cavern for rituals and shit, not an actual base


---

I think it was only that the nine transforming titans died in 13 years.

Correct, like how Ymir wandered around for 80 years or whatever and didn't even age until she became a shifter.
