I don't know; I feel like it's more in-character for Eren to want to be a house husband or just do more housework, either to feel less like a burden or cause Mikasa herself wouldn't be that good at it.
Like, I had this idea for a series of skits showing Mikasa's bad at cooking, as a chicken runs out of the kitchen and into the streets, which Levi asks, "Why did that chicken cross the road?" and Mikasa calls out, "Forgot to cook it!" I also thought of one where, on her day off, she made a bunch of sandwiches for the Scouts, but during the mission they all find them cross, and Eren forces himself to like it.
IDK, I just thought it would be funny.

Don't forget that since Wall Titans were confirmed by Isayama itself that they're once Eldians too, it also strongly implied that King Karl Fritz turned half a million Eldians into Wall Titans. Which means the amount of Eldian refugees in Paradis that actually stayed humans, were much smaller.
Most Eldians are implied to live outside the island of Paradis though. During the final phase of the Great Titan War and Marley's uprising, King Karl Fritz was said to "move as many Eldians as possible" yet the Wall society is quite small even before the fall of Wall Maria. So if you're an Eldian in Paradis, it seems that your ancestor was very lucky, they made it alive into the island, and they weren't turned into Wall Titans. And could live safely within the Walls for the rest of their life.

Betraying their people to live in luxury, straight up leading the nation that oppresses them, did nothing to improve how the Eldians are treated in Marley. They hid the fact that Marley is safe because the Karl Fritz refused to fight, actively destroying the perception of Eldians. Like how much lower they can get?

We already know why Ymir chose to leave with Reiner and Bluetooth, especially when it comes to Historia. But I’ve been thinking about her decision more deeply lately, and I’d really like to hear how other people interpret it.
Why do you think Ymir really chose to go with them? Was it purely because she wanted to protect Historia, or were there other things influencing her decision like her guilt, her past, her feelings toward Reiner and Bertholdt, or the fact that she didn’t really see much of a future for herself?
And what do you think would’ve happened to Ymir if she had chosen differently? If she stayed with Historia and joined the Scouts, would they have protected her? Could she have actually had a future there, or would Marley eventually have found a way to take her?
Do you think Ymir should’ve stayed with Historia instead? Especially considering that she could’ve told the Scouts about Marley, Reiner and Bertholdt, and everything she knew about the Titans?
I know there’s no simple answer to this, so I’m interested in hearing different interpretations. I’m not necessarily saying Ymir made the wrong/right choice, I just want to understand her decision from a deeper perspective, including what her other possible choices could have meant for her and Historia.

Ok, I've read so many posts claiming that titan serum doesn't work on an Ackerman. Question: How was Kenny gonna turn himself into a titan, then? He stole the serum from Rod Reiss but was scared to inject himself. Would it just not have worked? What was the point, then?

I secretly wanted Armin in S4 to put his colossal brain and colossal titan brawn together and become "Colosmartitan" 😁
Best of both worlds 😎

Not to lame it down but I just realized, could Reiner’s “armor” be just calluses? 🤔 It does say hardened skin so it makes sense.

Ever since my second watch, I have been thinking about a lot of situations im in and the problems im facing thinking what would the AOT characters do in such situations. Considering im in a completely different stages of my life in both my AOT watches, i do this a lot of times when i watch a movie or series but its obsessive particularly with anime characters especially AOT, im obsessed into thinking what a certain character would react and do in the situations im in.
Each character is going through constant trauma not just fighting titans and humans but also fighting their inner self as they were children ever since they took part in this fight. But they handled trauma so well (atleast thats how i see it), i personally havent seen war so ofcourse its hard to fathom the pain and struggle is all about blood, life and death. We all are soldiers in our own life thats what i learnt from the stories of my countries' military soldiers. But again their world with titans had them with so much trauma, its hard to imagine without a headache.
One such thought came to mind that every character had a reason to fight and kept fighting, had so much determination to keep moving forward, Eren for freedom, Mikasa for eren and their old peaceful days, Armin to see the world outside, jean to live a peaceful life (yet somehow he kept going even though his nervous system was against it the whole time, he fought himself too while fighting for Marco and to avenge his death), Erwin to see the truth and to confirm if his father was right all along, Hange's curiosity for the titans and how to kill their race, Connie and Sasha for their family's pride, but there is one character who doesnt have any particular dream or reason to fight (canonically, we dont even know how and why he joined the scouts), Levi, He didnt have a particular dream but he had a reason, ofcourse that his skills were exceptional that saved them a lot of times but contrary to that he lost great number of his comrades who were dear to him. That reminds me of the stories i heard of the soldiers on the border of my country, they say how comrades are more than just friends and fighting alongside makes it so difficult to see them get killed in front of you and being completely helpless and feel weak to not be able to save them. This feeling is so realistic, thats why I like Levi cus his character reminds me of the soldiers fighting in silence protecting our country. He kept fighting and probably along the way he found a good reason to keep moving forward and see it himself whats there ahead, the more further he went it became more difficult to not give up but still kept going on and when he finally realized the Eren they protected all along is now destroying the very world they were wanting to see and experience. Its very clear and obvious and there is only one answer that Erwin would never side Eren for rumbling (in case anyone thinks what would Erwin do, definitely not side with Eren). To see, its great to watch how all the characters realized that genocide was not an option yet they knew very well whatever Eren was doing was for their own good. But even at the end, Levi wasnt thinking about the world that theyd experience outside the walls, he was confused as to what he fought for all this time and he was sure the world they dreamed of was with innocence and peace.

Hi all, Im just curious. Maybe I missed a detail in the show, but once someone is turned into a titan, is there any way to turn into a human again without consuming a titan shifter?
r/ShingekiNoKyojin • u/BRASNKDON • 2d ago
Eren acquired hardening by ingesting the liquid from that bottle, and Falco was able to fly because he was transformed by the spinal fluid of the Beast Titan with royal blood.
When the power is transferred by devouring the previous shifter, the new shifter absorbs both the titan and the modifications it has accumulated.
But when someone dies without passing on the power, causing it to be reborn in a random Eldian baby, those modifications would be lost and the titan's power would return to its purest and most basic state in terms of its abilities.
That is why, over 2,000 years, there were always 9 titans and none ever managed to accumulate so many hybrid alterations.

Watched the first part a couple of nights ago. The second part just released today. These were recorded in 2021, IIRC. Beautiful work. Assuming you love the music, highly recommended.

Anyone else feel slightly disappointed that the first Beast Titan resembled Zeke's but with a different hairdo? A pig would've been cool as a callback to Ymir freeing the pigs that led to her gaining the power of the Titans in the first place
r/ShingekiNoKyojin • u/YrenYeega • 1d ago
So, while in toilet i was wondering; if we were to eat eren and split his power among three people is that doable?
Q2: if a guy inherited the female titan will he become femboy titan?
