Marco's death was an anomaly in that he wasn't eaten.

There is absolutely no way Annie would've titaned

Annie could've just choked him to death or stabbed him. I don't think they would bother to do forensics examinations after a titan battle.

Not really. He had pretty similar injuries to the guy who made that really unfortunate marriage promise, just on a different bit of his body. Seemed to fall in the standard 'death by titan' spectrum.
Ok you're right I mis-remembered. He had a pretty big chunk eaten out of him. Annie and conspirators could've just honestly picked up any gear off the battlefield without having to hurt anyone.

So all the Eldians who break the rules are sent to Paradise island to wander mindlessly and eternally to beseige the walls. Most titans are men because it's mostly soldiers sent to heaven, and I guess the tiny titans are actually children and teenagers. I think it was less hosed up when they were just deformed giants who liked to eat people.
and it's zeke's titan that sends them to heaven

I was wrong with my own pet theory slightly inspired by Nausicaa of being our world's future where at some point biological weapons ie. Titans started being used in ww3 and then ran amok creating a post-apoc scifi setting.
this is actually still possible with society resetting many generations after an apocalyptic event and the titan power being carried on from before the apocalypse

Yeah wow there is, guess I missed that. So assuming mule man is actually a shifter, that leaves one shifter not directly accounted for since it's pretty likely that Owl and Eren are the same titan.

Also I feel sorry for the dude that drew the short straw in shifter school and got stuck with being the mule. Not much to brag about on the playground when that's your power.
mule titan is secretly gonna be the most powerful titan under royal titan

Killing any titan short of the colossal titan would be trivial with artillery (as we see in this chapter, where they needed to kill that one train before being able to release the Jaw titan), and even the colossal would probably fall to concentrated artillery fire it's such a slow, big target that it would be easy to knock out its legs and then pound its neck area into dust).
I think it was more that the Jaw titan could probably easily win due to agility, but the potential small risk of losing him wasn't worth committing him. They only wanted to commit him when it was basically a 100% chance of success.

I am sure by now the marleyans have found a new medical way to transfer a titan compassionately between consenting Eldians

I always found it weird that they were so suspicious of bernholdt and reiner but let eren get so close to them. Eren being in the area makes sense since they are there to plug a hole, but still they shouldn't let him get physically so close to those two. Maybe they figured if they were titans they weren't going to try something with everyone present? I guess they let their guard down because titans showed up after they were quarantined already.

Also the anime episode was really good (except the gross cgi colossal but everything else makes up for it).

Those scenes of suspecting reiner and bernholdt were in the manga in the same place.

Have there been any details on Annie attacking the survey corps before she tried to kidnap Eren other than they probably were massacred by her before?

comedyblissoption
Mar 15, 2006

It seems kind of weird that they came up with a very elaborate operation to bait out and capture a titan shifter while also spreading misinformation about Eren's position. I was speculating that they had encountered a shifter out there before and that's why they were able to prepare for it the next time. There was also that scene where Irwin asked Eren if he knew anything when they were being drafted for the survey corps.

I guess I might've misinterpreted Levi's dialogue that somehow the survey corps had encountered her before.

Yeah this makes the most sense. Eren being a titan lets them make a lot of speculation about the colossal titan and the possibility of being infiltrated.

Do you think bertholdt was partly chosen as the colossal titan because your own physical features determine the power of the transformation and he was tall? If so, armin is gonna be a tiny colossal titan.

Eren may have figured out how to use the Coordinate after 4 years, so Marley having more titan shifters may not matter at all.

He doesn't even necessarily have to have the power to control titan shifters. He could just control Chekov's wall titans.

A boat smacks into a weird boulder. The boulder grows bigger and reveals itself to be the head of the colossal titan. Everyone in the boat panics. Further off in the distance, there's dozens more weird boulders.

This is amazing and excellent.

Better her backstory here than after she's been killed offscreen, and the syringe had already made its appearance early in the series.

Also finally explained how she managed to sneak up on Reiner's group for everyone goons who kept bitching about it.
