Attack on Titan Inconsistencies

Just a short video looking over some small inconsistencies in the manga/anime of attack on titan that I found interesting.

Firstly , aot is not some dumb shonen manga with powerscaling as the main focus , it tells an amazing story . Secondly , are you saying that titans being around in a show called "Attack on titan " is a bad thing ? And lastly , aot well deserved the attention it gets and I would go as far to say it's quite underrated .

2:44 that's not really an inconsistency, In S2 episode 7 armin armin explained that in colossals last appearance he disappeared immediately but in episode 7 he maintained his form, acted as a furnace and slowly disappeared. The explanation for this is very simple, the reason most titans slowly deteriorate is because they can't contol the steam they emit, which is basically the flesh and bones turning into steam but colossal titan has complete control over his steam so he can release all of it instantly and make the body disappear quicker. In s1 colossal titan released a huge cloud of steam to get away quickly. The reason we never saw this again was because it was not needed at any other point in the story.

Either way, all that smoke coming out at once was supposed to have caused a good burn on Eren, as we saw it causing to other characters later.

Isayama started AOT when he was only 19, with little experience in drawing… That’s why the earlier chapters have a lot of inconsistencies regarding the art, but no one can deny that the art improved throughout every arc.

[@guslarz]

damn, now i feel like a loser drawing like x200 times worse than him

[@jasonone8726]

I'm honestly surprised he even got a job as a mangaka, and the series blew up before the anime. You have to have great art along with a great story to get that job and gain interest. It felt like only the only redeeming parts of his early art were how he drew the Titans. He improved tremendously at everything else, at least, but those early chapters were almost unreadable.

[@raww7603]

[@Mechjeb661]

The colossal titan disappearing immediately is just one of its powers.

[@Lumigle]

I think he only did this once, and it's the example he has shown

[@xandex69]

Where is it explained its a power of his. and why does he have such a convenient power that has never ever been used anytime else

[@Just_Paulo]

My head canon is that because the Collosal Titan can emit steam at the cost of muscle fiber, it uses all of the muscle fibers at once. So nothing remains Shit but that doesn't explain why there are no bones. K nevermind

[@Lumigle]

@@Just_Paulo If he can do that everytime it would be completely broken xD

[@rafaelcante5731]

It was shown he can’t steam the bones n the shinganshina arc unless it’s killed

[@cheivan_]

Not really an inconsistency but in the first episode the anime didn't include the part of the manga in Eren's dream where Mikasa said "see you later" and also didn't include Eren asking why her hair grew longer... both which you know... foreshadow the entire ending? It's pretty much the only issue I have with the anime.

[@Pharien]

another inconsistency is that armin had hair when he came back as the colossal titan. titan shifters can cut their hair without it growing back like a lost limb or something. it doesn’t regenerate like the rest of them, it’ll just grow normally. so armin shouldve stayed bald when he came back to life, and his hair should’ve grown back naturally

[@RikoDiko]

Damn I messed up we gotta go bald

[@someperson9998]

I think it was so minor that keeping it perfectly consistent would've only hurt the story (bald Armin would not look right.) The only explanation I can think of is that Ymir had to recreate Armin's body manually and decided to keep his hair as it was his main form.

[@nullx2368]

Collosal disappearing in episode 5 is probably my biggest annoyance with the show. It was too fast and doesnt make sense. It kinda makes you think they can literally teleport which is ofc false. The other stuff is likely drawing errors or story easnt fleshed out as you said, but they are kinda "who cares". The collosal one feels like a big mistake tho

[@churchyll_]

Or, the Colossal has the ability to control how much it disappears just like how it controls how much it exploded when it appears? Ever though about that?

[@Crampinmystyle]

the colossal titan is the only titan in the show that was never shown to have a corps. Its entirely possible that the ability to turn its body into steam can be done so quick that it looks like he disappeared.

But instead Eren doesn't even get blown back, when he first got up the wall yeah he got blown back a little, but he was still able to fly through it, and he didn't get burned at all. (Unless the Colossal doesn't need to emit steam in order to dissapear)

[@jeremycolfer6829]

I found it strange how in the second appearance of the colossal titan, when he appears behind eren he just sort of comes out of thin air and there's no giant explosion like in future transformations

[@dariusporter358]

They can choose to make the explosion. If not then most of the time it’s just a big burst of steam which is what happened. Another time when it wasn’t a big explosion was literally his first appearance and the Reiner and Bert reveal.

[@user-lq7nq1dg8u]

Bertholdt and other colossal titan holders can control it. It's not a plot hole

[@hatefulgaming1800]

Yeah and if it’s something he can control than why didn’t he do it to try and destroy the wall.

[@dariusporter358]

@@hatefulgaming1800 Plus, blowing up the wall also would have released some of the Colossal Titans in it so that is another reason.

[@salmonbond2926]

When Bertholdt used the explosion he was a lot skinnier and we’ve seen that emitting steam takes from the colossal’s muscle so how it works is probably emitting a giant steam explosion as he is transforming He didn’t use it when he broke the wall because it would have released the wall titans

[@loganshalloe5927]

2:29 I think it can be assumed that the colossal has the ability to turn its bones into steam (if it wants to) not just its muscle. I know that in S3 against Armin, Bert only used his muscle to make steam, but that's because he needed his skeleton to remain standing in the titan form. In 2x7 he somehow snaps his own ribs so he falls down on top of Reiner and Eren. He could have decided to dissipate his ribs there so they break. Also the explosion ehen he hits the ground is made of steam, and we don't see any bones or remains of the colossal. He just seems to completely turn into steam (again).

[@RikoDiko]

Ahh interesting I didn't think of that but it could make sense. The only problem I see is during the fight with the colossal Armin attaches his ODM gear to the bones because it doesn't evaporate when the colossal emits steam. I guess it's possible that Bert would burn through the muscles first, then the bones, and because he was still fighting decided to only burn through the muscles. Which would explain it. Thank you.

[@loganshalloe5927]

@@RikoDiko yep I think that is the explanation

[@officialshinky]

[@djco8919]

⁠@@RikoDikoProbably the reason Armin was not blown back was because Bert did not know where the hook was attached. He is just used to removing his muscles which people tend to aim for anyway.

[@FaQueue]

I’m going by memory, but I’m pretty sure in the anime, all (besides two) Titan transformations are accompanied with a strike of lightning and an explosion, vaporizing and destroying everything that’s adjacent or nearby. However, Eren’s first and second transformations (mainly his first) don’t do that. It should have vaporized the Santa Titan and everyone in that town would’ve seen the transformation. Not that I care, but I always thought that was an interesting little inconsistency. It made for a good plot twist though.

[@CSharpRenan]

There is an explanation to Eren's Attack Titan being smaller in some scenes. Hange found out through experimentation that if Eren had been shifting too many times in a short span, his titan form would become smaller with each transformation - kinda like a shifting fatigue.

[@zinnr]

this should go as an example of how to analyse stuff, keep it up brother

[@RikoDiko]

Much appreciated 🫰

[@user-ff6ok4os2l]

To clear up two points: The size scaling may be Isayama's drawing, but it will also be to exaggerate sizes. For example, in the anime when Eren pushes Bertholdt, he's made purposefully look smaller to exaggerate the Colossal Titan's size for the tension/intensity. For the reason as to the Colossal vanishing, the Colossal can emit steam, by using up its bodily material. We know that the rate at which it is done can be controlled. In S2x6, Bertholdt slowly emitted steam to keep the Scouts off him for as long as possible. At the fall of Wall Maria, Bertholdt will have immediately expended all his bodily material to "vanish" as the Warrior operation was to smoke out the Founder by breaking the walls, and so combat was unnecessary.

[@fabioaya6320]

I read somewhere that this is considered to be “artistic preferences” to further accentuate certain feelings. For example, 3:34 this shot was a moment away from Berthold kicking Eren like a football. Eren was so insignificant compared to the sheer size of a colossal titan, which is why Isayama drew Eren that small to really make the viewers feel that insignificance.

[@VONisHope]

I think titans naturally emit steam but its just not illustrated/animated properly or commonly. If you watch episode 5 season 1 they show an illustration of a titan walking emitting steam and its explained due their bodies having high temps. Also, somehow Paradis knows the names of the Armored, colossal, and female titan?

[@officialshinky]

maybe its because the one titan is armored, one is colossal and one is female

[@erzamoksha5279]

I'm one hundred percent sure that Isayama came up with the idea that there are titans in the walls before the first chapter was even published. So it's more like a design mistake exactly. Obviously the flattened feet of the colossal titan, is a foreshadowing of the titans in the walls, who need those feet to fit into the walls. I actually like Wit's solution better, where they made the colossal's feet regular. Because the same flattened footings of the colossal as the wall titans seem to me to break the internal logic. Obviously, the colossal titan came long before the wall titans, like the other 7 titans (I don't count the founder titan, because he was the very first and everyone descended from him), and he didn't need such flattened feet. Whereas the wall titans were created specifically for the wall where there was a need for such feet. It's a shame, really, that Mappa in the most recent movie forgot about this one, and made Colossal Eren and Armin's feet flattened. Although in the first part of season four, when Armin destroys Marley's port, the feet were like Wit's. The instant disappearance of the colossal is probably the most controversial moment in the AOT plot. Nothing else but another feature of the colossal titan is hard to explain. Apparently it's all about the fact that many people think this ability is the same as burning one's flesh to emit steam. But if you consider instant vaporization as a separate ability, it gets easier. You could certainly say it's more of a plot hole, since this ability isn't mentioned or used anywhere else. But Isayama repeatedly introduced some titan ability for the sake of one spectacular scene, and didn't use it anywhere else. Remember, for example, Rainer's miraculous rescue when he transferred his consciousness into his body so he wouldn't die at Levi's hands.

[@bluedirewolf4492]

I'd be fine with instant vaporization of its muscles, especially as a midpoint between its explosion and its steam, but that still doesn't explain what happened to its bones. If Berthold had any control over making his bones disappear, he would've done it against Armin, especially since he was supposed to have mastered the Colassal.

[@erzamoksha5279]

@@bluedirewolf4492 Of course, I was referring to the instant vaporization along with the bones. Because there's no other way to explain this disappearance. That's why I say it's easier to treat it as a separate ability, since it was discussed that slow vaporization only affects muscles, not bones.

[@mixel8]

[@mixel8]

That's the best explanation I can find

[@benjaminsilva5594]

I'd say, height is indeed very inconsistent throughout the whole show. I see that as an artistic mistake and very rarely that mistake helps the narrative. I will agree the language is a mistake that is easily forgotten by the voice actors, since they all speak the same language in the anime, we don't actually think about it. About the first scene of the colossal titan, the only thing I can think of is that Bert created some extra steam, and Eren wasn't that smart at the time to try to investigate. One thing that always bothered me is that the first episode explosion doesn't seem to be as strong as the one in the Shiganshina war, the only explanation I would have for that is that the titan user can somehow hold back on the explosion (which it would make sense to not damage the wall).

[@Ellik8101]

One more major size inconsistency is the size of the 15m titans vs the walls. Specifically, The Armoured Titan should be 15m tall, i.e. 1/3rd the height of the walls. However, in the Return To Shiganshina arc, when Reiner is climbing up to where Erwin is standing, Reiners titan is seen as dramatically smaller than the walls. Annie even seems slightly larger when she's trying to climb out at the end of Season 1

[@misternov195]

Armin actually mentions that they have to be careful about their accent in chapter 107. So their accent is different.

[@gandalfwisdom]

Another one is how the size of the walls is insanely huge and wouldn't even fit inside of Madagascar (the real world paradise island). Even when isayama is giving exact numbers he still doesn't get scale. Attack on Titan is still gas tho and I love it.

[@aotgoat3267]

Pretty sure the aot world is bigger. No proof for that but my reason is for titans to exist it has to have strong gravity

[@gandalfwisdom]

@aotgoat3267 that'd create huuuge problems with physics and isn't really feasible. The show explains that titans are less dense and that's why they are lighter than they should be. It's more realistic to assume the size of the walls is just smaller than the entire world is bigger

[@MigWith]

​​@@gandalfwisdom not really. the world is definitely different than ours, as... well.. paradis has a completely different geography than Madagascar despite the same shape. it snows there, paradis has a temperate climate. summing everything up, paradis is probably way bigger than Madagascar and sits closer to the pole than our real one. the world is definitely not bigger, but the continents are definitely scaled up, offset(closer to the their north pole) and flipped.

I'd like to think the land is bigger than irl

[@WaltuhBlanc]

2:34 It's because of Karl Fritz that the writing is different. He wiped their memory and changed the alphabet.

[@calebshockency2083]

Gabi does observe that the Dauper accent sounds a lot like Southern Marleyan, so the fact that Sasha was teased for her accent at all may be itself evidence of a significant vowel shift in Paradis. Armin also cites accent differences as a point of concern when the Survey Corps was planning their expedition to Marley.

[@ancestrall794]

Also there is the tatoo on the wrist that Mikasa was supposed to have since she was a kid, yet i'm sure we can see images of her without the tatoo before the reveal

[@Kaldrin]

The size inconcistencies between titans is the one I noticed even in the anime, not that it bothered me but I was confused sometimes.

[@alaakalash1980]

The walls are almost never drawn to he 50 meters, they feel like 200. I personally dont mind size inconsistencies but this one feels weird since they're just always super tall so just give them a bigger cannon height

[@Christian-gq5tw]

Great video! Another scaling inconsistency I noticed was at the end of chapter 117 where the Beast Titan is smaller than he should be compared to the wall. He's basically a blob on the page. Compare this to chapter 82 where Eren's titan is clearly visible on top of the wall even though he's smaller than the Beast Titan, you can even see Armin lol so I'm pretty sure it's a scaling issue.

[@MD-kv9zo]

All inconsistencies can just be linked to the founding titan. Although I suppose that’s sort of lame

It's a testament to the storytelling that there are a ton of scaling problems in the art in a story ABOUT scale. And the story's just that good that we dgaf.

[@CryXizz3l]

Conveniently left out all the ending inconsistencies, thats a shame

[@arminkir9389]

I feel like the only explanation for the colossal disappearance one is that bertolt emitted so much steam the body evaporated faster or I feel like that both of the times we see the colossal Titan not nuke its body disappears faster so maybe if the colossal doesn’t nuke the Titan disappearance goes away faster

[@canicalr]

I just assumed the Colossal being able to vanish into thin air was due to Berthold's expertise on his titan, there are couple scenes of Reiner and the Marleyan military praising him for that and we've seen evidence of him having much better control than Armin on their transformations, for instance, Berthold can not only generate partial transformations but also decide wether he explodes as shown during Eren's kidnapping, while Armin wasn't capable of that as implied during the flying boat heist; I think Berthold's skills and the Colossal's ability to burn itself up made that possible

[@YauDerAllerEchte]

Really intersting. Its increfible how few they are until chapter 135. Just genius writing I always was thinking that the biggest mistake until that was Armin survived after being grilled, aright, could be but on top after falling 40m down as well? I think he should just have made a shot, where we see Armin after that slowly hanging down with his gear still attached to Berholdt's teeth and the with Bertholdt collapsing somehow gently landing on the building. Just in the backround of the shot were Bertholdt's Titan collapses, not to obvious but still as a detail to come back. And then I wonder why you did ignore everything from chapter 135 onward. It's a load of plotholes and especially inconsistencies with the story. Wait, I will get a list of stuff I immediately noticed after watching the last 1h episode. So this not even every inconsistency and still the list is long

[@YauDerAllerEchte]

•Why does the war hammer just stay still for at least 10 minutes in series time instead of killing Pieck? •The Titans should have reached the airship platform long ago in such a long fight. Do you know how high their pace is. •It was established that Zeke's copy, like the War Hammer Titan with Lara, is connected to Eren through a cable and when Zeke's copy is separated from it, it is dead. Later, all those Titan shifter copies are completely loose. •Why can Armin just go into the Path World without unlocking the Founding Titan powers? Before it was such a big thing. Eren could only reach that place with unlocking the Founding Titan's Powers. There Armin just makes Focus and Believe no Jutsu •How the hell can Zeke and Armin turn the spirits of the dead Titan shifters into Titans? •Zeke was able to get out of there the whole time, so Eren's plan is absolutely stupid? •Why can Eren just get up again and turn into a gay colossal Erentan? He would need Founder Powers for that, but considering the rumbling just stopped before when he lost connectiom to Zeke by Zeke dying Eren lost the Founder Powers that moment. Either way, the Rumbling should have been not stopped at that very moment or Eren should have lost the other Founder Powers that moment too. You can't just rob him some Founder Powers and let others stay to bend the plot. Other shows do somethinh like this all the time. But from AoT we expect better. •Why do you need gas to turn the NPCs into eating Titans like Zeke, even though Eren and the beast have the Founding Titan power and can influence and change Eldia as they please anyway (they don't actually have the Founding Titan power anymore because Zeke is dead, but they always have because of the plot holes before) •Why can Eren erase Mikasa's memories, she is an Ackermann? That's the whole point of the Ackermans. There memories can't be altered. •Why does Mikasa know where Eren is in the Titan just by intuition (that's so quality of normal anime, but not AoT)? •Why aren't Jean Connie and the others naked after they were turned back into humans by the eating Titans and have their 3D Maneuvers •If all the memories, that Eren created in Armin and co in the Path World with the Founder Powers, return because the memory erasure by the Founder Titan Powers was erased from the world when the Titan Powers disappeared, the memory that Eren created in them with the Founder Titan Powers also had to be erased too. But through Plitconvinience that Magic still stayed in the world. •How the hell did Mikasa get Eren's head to the tree And that are just objective Plotholes. There are so many indirect Plotholes or at least bad character writing that you can't call objectively wrong, but considering everything highly unlikely and stupid and lazy writing. Best example here is Zeke after wondering for thousands of years in the paths there, what the meaning of life is, becoming so nihilistic, but not a single time did came up with "maybe its the small things". And then Armin just completely making the character shift by that, that is so unbelievably unconvincing. If it was good writing thers, Zeke (I mean we are talking about Zeke, a very very intelligent person) would have went through that idea of the small things, that have no meaning reproducing, could be meaning of life, a thousand times already, but then also started to doudt this, also does take into account that probably in a long way seen those things probably even also only have an evelotionary backround as well (which one could argue, thinking in many directions). And then, the moment Armin came up with this, Zeke's answer could have been something like "Yeah I did think so too, but in the end, I can't tell. I really can't tell anymore ..." That would be in character Instead we got, hey old depressive nihilistic man what about the small things, into completely big anime now I understand face from Zeke into you're right, that completely touched me and turned my character's decision 180. That, sorry, but no one can tell me, that that is not such a classic shonen monent and I don't mean that in a possitive way

The scene at Fort Salta where Eren destroyed the air fleet, the Colossal titans were as tall as Eren Founding Titan's Feet. But right after that, literally 5 seconds later, The Colossal Titans would almost have the same height as his knee. Kinda hard to describe but you could check it out.

I feel the colossal disappearance could’ve been fixed if he steamed all of his body in those seconds only leaving the bones since it was showed they don’t evaporate like the muscles u less it’s killed but even if he steamed all his muscles it would’ve burnt eren but in the other hand it doesn’t affect the story in a crazy way and the other one is armin surviving a 50 meter fall when he sacrificed himself

[@rainerscirmanis4772]

One thing i noticed atleast in the anime was when zeke appeared in shiganshina in s4 to meet up with eren, he was on top of the outer city gate, but considering he was on his way there from the forest of giant trees which was on the inside of wall maria, he should be appearing at the inner gate instead. Cant really think of a reason why he would waste time going all the way around the city to the far side when time is of the essence.

[@ReDoDone]

It was explained. When the collosal holder shifts they can control how fast the, transform and powerful the explosion is. The reason the collosal never nuked in S1 is because Marley knows about the wall titans, so an allout explosion near the walls is a stupid decision. Also, thats the reason Berthold only broke the gate and didnt just put a hole in a random spot in Wall Maria. Now i shall put down my Yappachino. ☕️

The Collosall Titan vanished as it fell from the wall onto the Armored Titan and Eren. If I'm not mistaken.

[@egemenerturk]

What about the ultimatum? The king declared that he would flatten the world if the paradis was attacked and retreated to the walls. With the destruction of the world at stake and even though Marley knew it, the Warriors attacked the walls and waited for the king to appear. The only explanation here must be that the Tyburs, having agreed with the King 100 years ago, informed the Marleyan military that there would be no reaction from the paradis, but we do not know. Even if that happened, why did they send 4 kids when they could seize underdeveloped walls with zeppelins, paratroopers and rest of their army?

[@someperson9998]

Well, the canonical answer is that Marley is just incompetent. That's it. The series points it out many times post-timeskip. Yeah, it's lazy, but I guess Isayama didn't want to add a reason to justify one of the main draws of the series. 🤷‍♂

Read the manga, it is soo good and clears up many small inconsistencies like that one. And Mikasa's character is much better in the manga compared to the first half of the anime

[@someperson9998]

In our world, tattooing has existed for thousands of years in many forms. Paradis isn't even ancient, so it can be reasonably assumed that they do have tattoos but aren't shown.

Eren killed his own mother, yet on that day he didn't have the founding titan nor was in contact with royal blood

[@sulzh]

he controlled the past from the future

[@schneidyisbored521]

Using the founding's power, future eren commanded the dina titan from the past to go to his mom, like he said, the past, present, and future all exist collectively in the founding titan wielder

[@vector_747]

His younger self didn't have any founding titan but his future self did possess founding titan. Future Eren simply commanded smiling titan to kill his mother (if he didn't, young Eren wouldn't have raged and got the motivation to kill the titans. Yeah young Eren was oblivious to that fact and he realized it when he kissed Historia's hand)

Where did Rod get the spina fluid if the technology to do that didn't exist on Paradis? Maybe that can be handwaved by the "hidden technologies" line, but that doesn't explain why he had three different vials.

[@RikoDiko]

Just the whole origin of the injections in general was something I was curious about too, since it's never explicitly stated what's in them or where they came from. If it is just spinal fluid how did they even figure out that it would turn subjects of Ymir?

[@BertzTriscut]

@RikoDiko Something to do with the cannibalism back in the Ymir days. No idea how they narrowed it down so specifically, but given thousands of hears of Eldian history, it's probably possible that they'd get it eventually.

[@RikoDiko]

That's true, it's clear Marley ain't worried about any ethics when it comes to testing on Eldians

[@churchyll_]

Just because the general public don’t know how about the technology needed yo extract the Titan spinal fluid doesn’t mean it didn’t exist in Paradis. As season 3 showcased, the higher ups are lying POS

[@StarFounde7]

i was expecting you to mention the huge explosion that occurs when the colassal titan comes out at first. seems like it wasnt a staple ability for the titan until around the end of season 3.

[@someperson9998]

The colossal doesn't have to cause an explosion when it transforms. The only reason we don't see them transform normally after it was revealed is because there was never a time in the story where it'd serve any purpose.

[@ayaan9646]

For me the two biggest plot holes are: 1.) Eldians from S1-S3 were able to guess the names of the enemy titans perfectly well, as those titans had the same names in Marley too. 2.) Mikasa was an Ackerman and so Eren wouldn’t have been able to play with her memories

[@shirouyasha69]

mikasa is an ackerman but she also has eldian blood in her. Her dad was ackerman but her mom was eldian.

[@ayaan9646]

@@shirouyasha69 it don’t matter, nowhere is it said that an ackermann has to be pure blood to have ackermann traits. Otherwise Mikasa wouldn’t be such a great fighter.

[@someperson9998]

1 isn't a plot hole. Paradis didn't know the names of the titans; they just attributed their core features to a name that described them. While it is a bit questionable, it's not that unreasonable to assume both parties simply came up with the same name as these were indeed their defining features. It's not an inconsistency, it's just lazy writing to make the story easier to digest.

[@shirouyasha69]

@@ayaan9646 i know. Thats why im saying mikasa is not pure ackerman. So her being eldian and in the paths is perfectly reasonable.

[@ayaan9646]

@@someperson9998 lazy writing is more accurate yes. You can’t look at the beast titan and think “yeah that’s the beast titan and not the monkey/ape titan.”

[@kta_0187]

Also the inconsintency of the 3 warriors goal inside the wall. Marley just knows that the King has the founding Titan. What if they realized that the King inside Wall Sina was a fake and has no foundingTitan abilities. The story just goes that they wanted to capture Eren suddenly. It is so weird. 😂

[@arminarlelt7471]

It's more like "We didn't find anything yet about the Founding titan, but Eren is actually a titan so that might be our best shot to find the Founding titan" In season 2 they learn he's the coordinate, and their objective becomes clear.

[@baseplate7566]

bro how they suppose to know that the king was a fake blud

[@jeph117]

Eren said he could use the powers of the founding only if he is in contact with a royal blooded titan but his head fell on Zeke's hand,not his titan's hand

[@loganshalloe5927]

Silly semantics. Whether transformed or not, he is a person with royal blood and a titan power.

[@usurper3497]

Bro was tryna add to the conversation

[@jeph117]

@loganshalloe5927 yeah but I mean why going through all that trouble if he could've just touched Historia

[@arminarlelt7471]

Because the royal blood person needs to have titan power too. If Historia had a titan, then yes Eren could just touch her and they would be in the paths. I don't know why Armin didn't think of giving his titan to Historia. I know Eren and Mikasa would say "no we'll find another way" but considering how Armin is overwhelmed by guilt and responsibilities of living instead of Erwin and how he dislikes himself, it's weird he didn't at least think about it.

[@Guntherson220]

Then there's also the bit where Armin transforms into the Colossal Titan in Marley's port and not only dose the body stick around after Armin exits the nape long enough for him to engage his ODM gear it's standing upright that whole time.

[@CombativePlays]

Armin never used the colossal’s steam emission to disappear or to burn enemies, so the body stayed behind for a while after he exited it. Considering the Titan body of shifters decay slowly after they exit it, it makes sense as to why it’s still there. The standing up part is weird but we have seen it happen to other Titan bodies, like Eren’s Attack Titan which got decapitated by the Warhammer Titan but it still remained standing, even after he exited the body. It only fell over after the Warhammer shot it down.

[@Titan-1104]

How could eren have killed his mom in the past, he can't actually affect anyone in the past that way, they way he affected grisha was by sending memories of himself talking to grisha in the memories to past grisha, so how did he control dina fritz in the past to kill Carla, the only explanation I can think of is eren lieing about leading dina to Carla and ymir leading the smiling titan(dina) to Carla, eren actually blaming himself for dina going for carla because he feels responsible for her death or something

[@RikoDiko]

I think it's possible Eren is mistaken, since the time travel abilities are never fully explored aswell as his connection with Ymir. I think a good example is when Eren says Ymir loved king Fritz, I don't really believed she loved him, but she loved the idea of him wanting/needing her, and him giving her children that she loved.

[@Titan-1104]

@@RikoDiko sounds interesting as well, so you think eren could be mistaken about being the one who killed his mom? Yea that is very possible judging how miserable he looked and how his head was a mess, maybe he willed for dina fritz to not go for bertholdt because he knew he had to for the story to play out and when he saw it happen he thought it was he who did it and not ymir even though it was likely not him
