* ImAHumanitarian: When Ymir dies, King Fritz has her daughters resort to cannibalism; eating their mother's corpse to gain her Titan power. He then orders them to eventually feed themselves to their children and so on to continue Eldian conquest, even after his death. This ultimately explains why Titans throughout the series have a habit of eating people, whether or not the victims are Titan Shifters.
