** Indeed. Not sure if this is ever directly stated, but it seems that that the sole reason why pure titans have the urge to eat humans is [[spoiler: out of an instinctual desire to become a titan shifter, which is only possible by eating a shifter while they are in human form. So they mindlessly eat any human they can.]]

[[spoiler: Because their primary mission was actually to locate the Founding Titann, which had not yet shown himself and if Eren turned out to not be the "Coordinate", still having some of them undercover would help their search efforts.]]

* The symbol on the [[spoiler:Eldian armbands]] may seem arbitrary, but it bears a very strong resemblance to the flash of light from a lightning strike. In other words, a Titan's transformation.

* Why is the Attack Titan titled the way it is? Two possible reasons; [[spoiler: one, because all the past wielders are inheritors of Eren's will, ensuring they will act out a purpose to set up future events, it's an '''attack''' which comes from a place no-one else can know about; the future. And two, the purpose of the Attack Titan was to initiate the Rumbling by claiming the Founding Titan for itself; in other words, it was setting up a massive '''attack''' on the rest of the world.]]

*** [[spoiler:It's probably worse than that. Grisha stated before attacking the Reiss family, he already knows what's going to happen. A moment later, he confesses that he doesn't want to kill them... but then he does it anyway. If he ''really'' didn't want to kill them, couldn't he have insisted on not doing so? The answer lies in the Attack Titan's ability: it does not glimpse into the future, but into ''memories'' of the future. [[YouCantFightFate What they see has already happened, so they have no choice but to be a slave to fate.]] Eren is no different from Grisha in that regard. Those who inherit the Attack Titan may fight for freedom, but they give up their own free will in the process.]]
* [[spoiler:If those who inherit the Attack Titan must continue moving forward even ''after'' death as is suggested, that would imply an entirely more horrifying fate than merely being eaten.]]

** When this fable is combined with knowledge of real world history, it has some interesting implications, bordering on GeniusBonus. Ymir lived so many generations before the time of the main story, she would logically be the ancestor of not only every Eldian, but every person of nearby nations, including Marley. Especially if Marleyans were forced to have half Eldian children. Whether they know it or not, Marleyans share the same ancestry they use as an excuse to persecute Eldians.

* [[spoiler:How the Rumbling works is a stark twist on the theme of being trapped in a birdcage. If the Rumbling was made to completion, then the last remnants of humanity would face their demise by being crushed by the birdcage on all sides. For Paradis, the walls never went away, they simply expanded. And for Eren, the boy who sought freedom, he is bringing the walls with him. In other words, Eren never truly achieved his dream of seeing the walls torn down.]]
