Talking Titan (780-849)

[@LaArtist322]

77174 likes (and 3,661,408 views), damn. While also most or nearly all commenters commenting the Talking Titan as a "He", despite it's a "She". Since did you have look from the beginning of the video (0:15 to 0:47) when that woman's facial before turned into a Titan? Hell, in often, have ANY of you seen women or OTHER female characters with very short hair? And simply as "what's this episode where the Titan kill--", boi (and gal), it is a OVA, first OVA, as you whatever may have not heard before from all that years. Or something...I don't know right now. But speaking of, I am still impressed over this damn video getting some mora liking and...Yeah.

Just thinking about what the royals did on the island... Damn it's just horrific. Deceiving and just straight up manipulating your people only to "save" them because of their beliefs.

Damn the titan seemed to hate that whole process I wonder if it’s like that for all Titans do they feel immense guilt for eating humans but just can’t help themselves

[@iliadnetfear2586]

If I'm not mistaken, it's their nature to want to be human again, and eat every human they come across in hopes of finding a shifter to consume so they can return to being human. Ymir said that her time as a mindless titan was like a never-ending hell, so I imagine the drive to escape that will supersedes their compassion. That, and maybe it's like they're still somewhat sentient inside, but the body of a titan moves on its own, almost like their eyes are just windows and the body is in auto-pilot.

We got a shot from the Rodd Reiss titans vision as it was approaching the town and from his pov the human life inside of it glowed like he was an insect being drawn to a light source.

[@LucasDiaz-tr3sg]

the titans actually may have some consciousness in themselves. it was said before that they eat humans to try and find a titan shifter so they can become human again. this one seems to have devoted themselves to finding ymir, when it realized it hadnt it did its best to convince itself it had, i think thats why it tried to not eat the girl. it thought it was ymir but the titan in it wanted to eat her. like how zeke can talk its possible thats a trait of the royal blood, that could mean she had royal blood. it would explain why she was looking for ymir, its exactly like zekes mom went to look for grisha

[@iliadnetfear2586]

@@LucasDiaz-tr3sg I actually saw a video theorizing the speech. I don't think it has anything to do with royal blood, as the Tyber's War Hammer could speak, Connie's Mom titan could speak, and Ymir could kinda speak in her Jaw titan. The video I saw suggested that, kinda like how Rod's titan had all those organs, but without a reason for them, many titan bodies are built different. Like when Eren went to pick up the spoon or when Uri grabbed Kenny, both instances only had an arm manifest because that was all that was needed for that task. The theory suggest most titans don't form vocal cords or lungs, as there is no need for them, but some titans probably do manifest the organs for speech just as part of their construction. Only Ymir Fritz knows why, she gathers the sand and constructs the titans, so only she knows why she gives certain one's speech. Oh yeah, every titan body ever manifested was created from sand by Ymir Fritz in that spirit world she inhabits.

[@LucasDiaz-tr3sg]

@@iliadnetfear2586 true. i forgot that ymir had made all the titans with the sand, the theory is actually quite possible. i just cant see why ymir(jaw titan), zeke, or war hammer. none of those really seem like ymir would have a reason to. if ymir does purposely give them these type of organs of course. it would make more sense for zekes mom to have some too. but you could just say ymir did it just for fun, considering shes like a little girl in her spirit world

Only the 9 intelligent titans have a pilot and tendons that connect them to the titan-suit. The rest are just humans that have literally morphed into titans-- if you would cut their nape, you wouldn't find any pilot inside. It's an interesting theory though Edit/I was not fully accurate. According to chp 50 of the manga, only the spine of a human remains intact inside a pure titan, in constrast to the whole body being intact inside the nine titans.

This titan worshiped Ymir... and that gave it back a spec of her humanity. When she met Ilse, she remembered her past life as a human, remembered Ymir, and it gave her the first words she probably spoke in 60 years. And she tried so hard not to hurt her, getting into a bow, clawing at her face, even when she had her in her mouth, she hesitated, did her best to restrain herself until she just... couldn't. So she put Ilse in a tree, and worshiped her. Never leaving her side again. Made sure her corpse was preserved and respected.

This talking titan wanted to serve Ymir, the smiling titan (Dina) wanted to find Grisha and/or his kids. Not sure about Rod Reiss's titan but it might've been trying to get to the city wall, "blocking" it off from the outside world, because Rod wanted to continue the legacy of the first king's peace by preventing people from leaving the island.

Ymir in AoT actually said: "Being a mindless titan is like, you can see whats happening but you have no control." I think they said that but this is what I have to say. Titans are morphed hugely, that's probably why they aren't in the nape like titan shifters, they have a natural instinct to kill humans, like we have an natural instinct to eat food sometimes, but titans always have the need to eat humans, and like their body tells them not to eat anything else, like us, if you were hungry would you eat metal or your clothes? The follower of Ymir talked because it had a special connection with Ymir, like Conny's mom, when he saw the titan of her she said "Welcome Home", but it didn't try to get up (probably because she knows she will fall), so maybe it was resisting? But anyway the titan was ripping it's face because it was trying to distract itself with pain so it would resist trying to eat Ymir. TLDR; Titans can resist and talk to humans if they have a strong bond.

@@stretchygeneral3433 I know, that's the point. The pure titans are no longer humans, they have no human body to return to, and they are doomed to follow the natural instincts of eating people witlessly, subconsciously hoping to eat a shifter to become human. But there was another theory about pure titans, especially abnormal ones, as to how and why they behave differently. I forgot the original post, but theoretically, before a person is turned into a titan, their final thoughts stay imprinted into the titan's mind, like a goal of some kind: The Smiling titan/ dina Fritz, only went after eren and anyone related to him, unless provoked, as dina stated "no matter what form I take, I will find you", which was her final words and thoughts to Grisha. This talking titan used to be a member of ymir worshippers cult in marley, before being transformed into a titan, and when it saw the scout, it mistook the resemblance for the 'lady ymir' it once knew, and seemingly tried to restrain itself from eating her. Other titans possessed minor thoughts resembling their human counterparts. Connie springer's mother was likely hoping to see her son again, and thinking about how she's going to greet him, before being turned into a titan, where her titan recognised him and said "welcome home..." In the second season in the first 5 episodes (I think), there are two abnormal titans who wrestle with each other, play fighting, likely because they were once children who were thinking about playing before being turned into titans. One of the titans summoned by Zeke's Beast titan, in season 3 part 2, is running with its fingers in the shape of a gun, pointing ahead of itself, likely because it may of been a child playing a game, or perhaps someone who was thinking about shooting at something. Thing is, the point I was making wasn't that the titans have their actual human bodies trying to get out of the titans, but that the last fragments of their humanity before being turned into titans, still lingers around in their minds as though they're still in there, somewhere. We know from eren's experiments, that titan shifters need a goal in order to transform, so what if in a way, the same applies to pure titans? But rather than that they need a goal to transform, they instead have a goal set in their minds that influences the behaviour of their titans as they transform anyway (to a degree), so like, if an eldian is injected with spinal fluid, then they're going to transform in a matter of minutes anyway, but their final thoughts are bedded into the mind of the pure titan?

3:18 Base on latest episode, I just noticed that these flowers means a lot to the real Ymir. Nice touch here, Isayama has a lot of control to the adaptation securing it's consistency and success. I hope that next generation of anime adaptations not just SNK, always consult for author artistic storyboard/storyline opinion first, so that future scenes that's not yet published will be always consistent.

I know many of you guys might already know but the blondie screaming in this clip 0:48 is the titan that was speaking in this clip 1:10 . The blondie already knew Ymir before they were turned into a titan. So once it found that girl in the forest it was convinced that was Ymir. And the titan was also still convinced she had to royal blood which I’m sure she did so they were showing their respect for her and the royal blood. But I’m pretty sure it started raging because Ymir was the reason they turned into a titan. Because of Ymir lying she had the royal blood. CORRECT ME IF WRONG IM JUST SAYING WHAT I UNDERSTAND IN THIS CLIP LOL

[@koencarree4678]

Dont think she started raging because Ymir was the reason she turned into a titan. But because she simply is a titan. The last bit of human ( worshipping Ymir ) was fighting her true titan form ( wanting to eat humans ) In the end she lost her last bit of humanity and ate her

I think the talking titan was already "aware" before she met Ilse. Because she was sort of "looking" for Ymir. Remember what Ymir said, that being trapped as a pure titan felt like a nightmare that lasts for eternity ? Maybe for the talking titan's case, due to her royal blood, her "consciousness" was like almost there, but not yet. And when she met Ilse, she was moaning and was in agony because it must have triggered something within her. She was convinced it was Ymir, and her "consciousness" was trying to fight the nightmare.

[@shawnkurtz4424]

Well we know from ymir that being a Titan is a never ending hell and we know the only way they can become human again is to eat a shifter. So the "hunger" the Titans feel is an instinct to eat everything in hopes of finding a shifter. That's why they are drawn to people and more specifically the people of Paradis. In this Titans case, you could see it trying to resist the urge to eat a human probably because at a basic level there's that human instinct to not devour another human. You see it rip at its face like a form of self punishment but in the end the urge to devour was still to strong. Then afterwards felt guilty and made a shrine/ grave for Ilse.

[@vnm_neon1201]

The reason Titans eat humans is because they hope that they’ll eat a Titan shifter and turn back into a human.

⚠️Since I used a translator, maybe there are some unnatural points. In this video, the lines of Talking Titan is translated as "Ymir-sama...

"Youkoso" = "welcome" "Yokuzo" = well done, good, etc. The meaning in this scene is "I'm glad you were safe.
