** The manga shows what appears to be King Fritz on his death bed speaking to his daughter, which would seem to throw a wrench in this theory.
** Alternatively, the daughters survived survived and it was the grandchildren themselves who made the decision.

Jossed: Annie was adopted by her father, so there was never a mother to begin with.

** This troper always interpreted Alma and her parents ' dislike of Historia as fear of reprisal if it were discovered she were a bastard child of House Reiss, given their secretive nature. Considering what happened to Alma, it's not a far stretch.





to:

\n** The lead trafficker is shown reprimanding his subordinate for killing Mrs. Ackerman because they could have gotten more money for selling a pure Asian. If he was in on the conspiracy, he clearly meant for her to live.




** Maybe, maybe not.The Co-ordinate can only be passed onto ''one'' person. It may be that the First King had a daughter who married into the Reiss family, and the Co-ordinate ability went with her. Hence, the daughter's bloondline had the Co-ordinate ability, which meant they were behind-the-scenes rulers due to the memory manipulation powers and the other child was the figurehead.

You heard right. Whoever created the Angels eventually decided to create the Titans. This is assuming the events of Episodes 25 and 26 of ''Evangelion'' are the canon episodes in this series and not ''End of Evangelion''. The Titans were created as much more aggressive beings than the Angels, and gave them a taste for human flesh. The original Colossal Titan (before the DNA was forcibly injected into Bertolt) defeated the Eva units, killed yet another Rei clone, and forced Shinji and Asuka into hiding while Gendo hunted them down for their failure. This led to the two of them to send another Rei clone into an alternate dimension, a clone who adopted a new yet similar look and the alias [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Yuki Nagato]]. This clone was meant to lead the last of humanity to a new home, but was sidetracked by Haruhi. Meanwhile, the world fell into ruin, and efforts by NERV and SEELE to stop the Titans were in vain. 800 years later, the Titans are now the dominant species, and this led to the events of ''Attack on Titan''.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


The characters of the movie are similar to those in the anime. Levi is Kirby (NO NOT THAT ONE), Jean is Radio, Eren is Toaster, and Keith Shadis is definitely the Air Conditioner! Also, the scene where Hannes runs into the SlasherSmile Titan is almost exactly the same as Toaster's nightmare sequence. Also, "Worthless" gets [[UpToEleven even more dark and depressing]] when you replace the cars with severely injured soldiers, and the crusher with a Titan!

We are told in the story that she is the last person with Oriental blood in the world. Her name is clearly Japanese. Her mother, in the brief time we knew her, told Mikasa that her family has skills that have been passed down for generations. Conclusion: Mikasa is a {{Ninja}} descendent. Therefore, she is the last ninja in the world, and thus, she is THE walking, talking incarnation of ConservationOfNinjutsu [[UpToEleven to the extreme.]]

The reason why they kick so much ass is that they're the last Asians on Earth who have inherited the Ninja gene. Therefore, they are THE walking, talking incarnations of ConservationOfNinjutsu [[UpToEleven to the extreme.]] They also have a striking resemblance, maybe it's just TheStoic demeanour, and the narrowed eyes characteristic on Asians are more apparent in him.

\n- ''Dog Soldiers'' (2002)

The catch here is that ''Attack On Titan'' is set in the future and through different twists/turns, the series ends in this timeline with Mikasa and Historia (now as a couple) together looking out over the ocean as the sun sets where Historia asks ''Mikasa, what was Eren for you?'' and Mikasa answers ''My ending and my beginning''.

Dewicking Not So Different per TRS as it is now a disambig.


Something is just bugging me about this. When Reiner and Bertholdt were talking with Ymir, they pretty much spelled everything out. They talked about the Coordinate, their village, how their mission was to wipe all of Humanity out and how Eren's existence could change that mission. Not once did they ever bring up the Wall Cult or the Military Police. Even Annie, who was part of them, seemed unaware of what her superiors were up to. I mean, if she had known that the Wall Cult was gunning for Eren, wouldn't she had told Reiner and Bertholdt right away? And wouldn't the two of them saying that it wasn't safe for Eren inside the Walls BECAUSE of the Wall Cult be an excellent argument for why he should've gone with them? Just like how the Wall Cult is keeping the Survey Corps in the dark about the Titans in the Wall and so many other things, [[NotSoDifferent Annie, Reiner and Bertholdt's village could be keeping them in the dark about what's going on inside the Wall.]]

[[WMG: The original King Fritz is the reason there are specifically nine titan shifters.]]
Because of the curse of Ymir, he outlived many of his descendants. His daughters each had three children, and when they all died suddenly at the same time, he forced his grandchildren to eat their mothers just as he'd forced Maria, Rose and Sheena to eat Ymir thirteen years ago.

However, upon seeing the third generation of shifters, he forbade the powers to be split anymore, as it was now clear the titans were becoming smaller and less powerful each time. He then began the practice of having shifters either be eaten alive, or killed seperately and consumed by individual humans, depending on whether or not pure titans existed yet at this time. If anyone in the future tried to split a titan power again, it wouldn't work because of Ymir's continuing loyalty to Fritz.

Naturally, as a prince he must've had people with him, servants and the like. It wouldn't make sense for there to still be Asian people inside the walls after so much time, if they were all descended from only one man.

[[WMG: The Beast Titan was inherited by Historia's child]]
But since the power of the titans was destroyed so soon after, no one ever knew. Had that not been the case, the child would probably have been the most powerful beast titan in history.

[[WMG: The female titan was not only inherited by men, but was ''primarily'' inherited by men before Annie.]]

Each of the nine titans is named after their most iconic feature, but feminine titan forms- while rare- certainly aren't unheard of. A woman turning into a titan with a female appearance wouldn't really be significant enough to consider it a defining feature, while if the shifter was a man, it certainly would be. It makes sense that this titan's female appearance would be known to be a dominant trait through men consistantly exhibiting it.

[[WMG: Attack on Titan ends as an inversion of a crapsaccharine world, as some humans gain tyrannical control of Titans (and are forced to run everything themselves like overworked deliverymen)]]
[[spoiler:With Eren and Ymir dealt with for good]], the power to control Titans becomes fractured and is randomly distributed across multiple (Eldian? Non-Eldian?) humans. At first, this is as horrible as it seems, with power-hungry/traumatized humans taking control of the very beings that destroyed civilization across the world, and the remaining humans are forced to scamper into mountains and caverns to survive... except said tyrants need to eat. And they need to keep the fields fresh and the supplies flowing. After a few decades, humankind is now split between the isolated communities that process resources for their titan-controlling overlords, and the titan-pilots who harvest and distribute resources while being cursed for doing their jobs. Individual control over Titans becomes a major boon in the post-apocalypse world, with mercenary towns built on the backs of Titans, plowing acres of land in a single scrape and transferring millions of tons of cargo across vast distances at speeds that would make a space shuttle blush. Unfortunately, everyone is still in constant stress and despair; the shelter humans are constantly in dread that one psychotic Titan-tyrant could crush their entire home on a whim, ignoring the sheer wealth and luxury (and immigrants) that they receive every month; the Titan-controllers are constantly shunned for doing their miserable, isolated duties, ignoring the sheer power and privilege they get from piloting a fifty-foot god.
Paradise is finally in the hands of humanity... and they're too scared of themselves and each other to savor it.

[[WMG: Falco will obtain the Attack Titan.]]

In Season 4, Episode 1 of the anime, [[spoiler: Falco is introduced suffering a concussion and mild memory loss. He mumbles, "Wasn't I flying around with a sword just now?" which seems like a good description of 3DM gear.]] Since he didn't have a titan during this time, him having a glimpse of memories like that implies that he was able to see memories from the past, like Eren was able to have dreams of the future prior to having Titan powers.


Note that this wasn't in the manga, and we all know Isayama tends to add or edit things in the anime that makes sense further down the line.
