  Speaker 1: Attack on Titan is one of my all time favorite
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: anime and manga series. It's a masterpiece of a series
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: that somehow draws me in despite how dark it is.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: And trust me, I rarely like overly dark series, but
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: then again, I love Evangelian. Perhaps I just have a
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: soft spot for Mecca anime or semi Mecca, I suppose,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: given Attack on Titans more biological nature regardless, the titular
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: creatures were one of the biggest mysteries of the entire series,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: and there are so many nuggets of information to know
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: about them. So today, in this little video, I would
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: like to go over the Titans with you, their origin,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: their nature, and why they are the way that they are.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: So sit right back and prepare for a history lesson
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: that even Hanji would blush at. Let's get to it.

  Speaker 1: one hundred thousand followers and all of our accounts by
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: the end of the year History. The Titans were not
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: something that always existed, but the power of them was
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: always present. The creature known as the Source of all
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: living matter, who some believe to be a god and
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: others to be a devil, was a creature seemingly similar to,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: if not the same, as, the hallucigenia, an extinct type
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: of worm that don't exist anymore, and if they do,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be sure to have one surgically implanted
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: into my spine. Just pretend you didn't hear that bit.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: This creature seems to have complete control over its form,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and given the differences in appearances that it has throughout
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the series, it's very possible that it's not actually a
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: hallucingena at all. And merely took that form. It laid
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: dormant under a large tree that stood taller than the rest.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: It seems this creature affects any living creature, as it
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: seems to modify even trees. This also would be a
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: reference to Iigdrasil, the tree in Norse mythology from which
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: everything in the universe is created. And yes, before you
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: say it, I know titans are a Greek mythological thing,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: but the Japanese use the term kogen, which means giant,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: so it's closer to the Norse giants than the Greek Titans.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: The English translators just wanted to give it a more
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: kick ass name. In this mirrored and inverted world, War
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: still exists and the Marlians were enslaved by the slowly
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: rising Eldean Empire. Yimir. Technically a Marlian was one of
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: those who served King Fritz as a slave. When she
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: accidentally let out a pig that then perished, she was
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: punished by being freed I said that in air quotes
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and used as the fox in a game of horseback hunting.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Struck multiple times by arrows, she ran through the forest,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: happening upon a massive tree that she attempted to hide in. However,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: unbeknownst to her, there was a hidden aquifer in the
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: base of the tree, which she fell into. Within that water,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: she came into contact with this creature that felt how
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: truly desperate she was scared of being attacked. The general
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: law of nature that bigger means better came into play
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and she was transformed into the first Titan, what would
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: later be known as the founding Titan. With her incredible power,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: she escaped and survived. So now she was free, but
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: poor Emir didn't know what to do with it. She
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: had spent so much time serving others that she didn't
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: have a purpose, and she had a master to serve,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: which drove her back to the king. In return for
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: serving him, he would accept her back as his slave.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: In his name, she built roads, worked the land, and
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: fought wars. The power of the Titans became a treasured
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: resource of the elde and Empire, and due to how
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: well she served them, he decided to bestow a gift
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: upon her, a forced marriage, because nothing is better than
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: marrying the guy who tried to have you killed over
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: a pig and now wishes to marry you because he
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: wants his babies to replace you when you inevitably die,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: but uh Mir has no problem with it. As it
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: turns out, I'm actually pretty sure that she loved King Fritz,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: so it was like a dream come true, except with
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: all the killing. She bore him. Three daughters, Maria, Rose,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and Sina sound familiar, well it should. Eventually, poor Amir's
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: conscience gets the better of her, as does her slave mentality.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: During an assassination attempt on King Fritz's life, she jumps
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: in the way and takes the spear. Now, of course,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Samir could have healed herself up just fine, as even
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: King Fritz says as she's bleeding out at his feet. However,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: she refuses this, likely because her conscience is catching up
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: with her, and she dies out of fear that he
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: might lose the power of the Titans. King Fritz, well,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: let's just say that maybe he fed his daughters some
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: special tacos made out of long pork. Because of this,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: the daughters, who are likely forever warped from cannibalism, gained
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: the power of the Titans. It's from this action that
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the founding Titan gives birth to the other eight, and
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: from here the Titans were passed down from generation to generation.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: But just because you are a descendant of Amir that
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: never had one of the Nine Titans doesn't mean that
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: you can't turn into a Titan anyway. Nineteen hundred years
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: after the Founding Titan was created, the ld And Empire
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: had all but bred the power of the Titans through them,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and had forced the nations they conquered to give birth
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: to more subjects of Amr, which in turn allowed the
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: king to use the Founding Titan to start miniature rumblings
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: that he would use to destroy his enemies and expand
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: his empire to the farthest corners of the earth. However,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: circa year seven forty three, the Founding Titan fell into
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: the hands of the benevolent Carl Fritz, who had come
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: to witness the atrocities of his people and decided to
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: fake a civil war within the Eldean Empire, which would
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: lead to his own exile from the Marlian continent, where
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: he would set up his own kingdom on the island
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: of Paradise. He would bring with him as many Eldians
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: as possible and leave the Tiber clan in marl to
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: help restore autonomy in the nation and rebuild Carl Fritz
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: would then use the Founding Titan to turn countless numbers
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: of his people into colossal Titans similar to one of
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the Nine, and would cause them to harden and become
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the walls around his kingdom. He would set smaller Tutans
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: outside the wall as guards to protect their kingdom from
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the outside. Carl declared that should his people ever be
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: attacked on the island of Paradise, he would release the
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Titans in the walls and would cause a rumbling that
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: would destroy the entire world. This, however, was an empty promise,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: as the king renounced war and instead set a limit
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: upon the Founding Titan that it could no longer be
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: used for war, resulting in the inability to command Titans
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: any further. The Founder continued to be passed down from
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: generation to generation until it was stolen from free to
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Reese by Grisha Yeager and eventually given to his son
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Aaron Yeager, who proceeds to do ungodly things with it.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: The Titans. The Titans have many quirks about them that
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: make them quite monstrous. But why do this for a
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: creature designed to give you whatever you desire in this world,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Why do the Titans created from the Founder turn into
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: mindless monsters? Well plenty, if not all of the Titans
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: we see are actually pre programmed, even if accidentally. The
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: first thing to realize about this is that Emir Fritz
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: is a slave. This means that both the Founding Titan,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the Nine Titans, and any Titans themselves, including the subjects
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: of Emir, are faded to be slaves for their entire lives.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: When Emir gained the Founding Titan, she was free to
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: do whatever she wanted with it. She was truly free,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: but lacking a purpose, she returned to Elda and proceeded
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: to indenture herself once more, sentencing herself as well as
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: her children to a life of slavery. Despite marrying the
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: king and being counted as a queen, she remained a
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: slave for at least a slave in her mentality. Anything
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: asked of her was done quickly and precisely, and she's
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: still like this as well, as proven when she met
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: with Zeke in the Paths. While there, Zeke spoke with
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: the Founder and actually managed to rescind all restrictions that
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Carl Fritz had put on the Founder through his vow
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: renouncing war. Yeah, Zeke undid that the moment he and
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Aaron touched for the first time. Zeke technically could have
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: just eaten Erin and used the Founder all on his own.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: But Zeke is a pure boy, ah puerish boy, all right.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: He kills people, but not Aaron. He loves little brother.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: But anyway, when Amir died, two things happened, the beginning
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: of the rules that were written to determine how Titans
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: would act after obtaining the power of the Titans. Emir
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Fritz lasted thirteen years as a slave until she eventually
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: cited enough was enough and let herself die. This is
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: what came to be known as the Curse of Amir,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: in which a holder of one of the nine Titans
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: can only live for thirteen years before perishing. After Amir's passing, though,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: King Fritz wished that the power of the Titans be
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: passed down to his children, so he forced his daughters
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: to eat their mother. This caused the Founder to recognize
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Emir's daughters as the next holders of the power of
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the Titans. Their decision to eat their mother is what
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: caused the Founder to register the method of transference to
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: pass the power on one must eat the previous holder.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: We know that it was this act that did so,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: as we witness a mir into Paths after her body
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: is devoured by her daughters. Three branches on the illuminescent
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: tree in the center of the dimension are spawned. Normally,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: a new subject of Amir is born and is automatically
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: a branch in the tree, but this tree only grew
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: a new branch when the Founder was devoured, which set
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: two rules at once, the first rule being the Founder
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: and all other Titan powers can only be claimed if devoured.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: The second rule was that King Fritz wanted the powers
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: to remain even after the death of Emir, and so
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: any child born with EMUs genetics could automatically be a
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: part of the Paths, and should one of the Titans
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: die without being devoured, the Titan itself would automatically transfer
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: to a random ld and to keep the powers alive.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: This simple brutal act is what gave the command for
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: the most adaptable creature in the world to only transfer
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: itself in one of two ways. Due to this, any
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: person could turn into a Titan so long as they
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: ingested the proper fluids. That is what created the pure Titans.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: While not as powerful as the Founder or as noble
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: as the Nine, they still possess that power. However, given
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: the pre established rules that what is most important to
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: the King is the Titan and not the person, the
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: person within the pure Titan finds themselves unable to escape
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: their Titan and must forever live within going mad. Now,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: the second question you may ask is why can Titans
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: only be killed by slicing their nape. The answer to
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: that has to do with the spine. The spine is
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: home to the central nervous system. The reason why, however,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: has to do with where a Titan shifter goes when
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: they transform. When a person transforms into a Titan, be
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: it a pure Titan or one of the Nine, their
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: body goes into the nape. Because when Emir became the
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: founding Titan, the glowing worm attached to her spine. It's
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: because of this that the Titan shifters go where the
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: spine of the Titan is. By slicing the nape, you
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: not only sever these shifter's connection to their Titan, but
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: also kill the shifter too. However, it's unexplained how this
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: is done, but according to and displayed by Rhiner Braun.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: A shifter whose nape is about to receive critical damage
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: can survive destruction if they pull their consciousness from their
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: own brain and place it in the brain of their titan.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: In that way, a Titan shifter may survive, though their
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: body will be crippled. However, if they have not exerted
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: themselves too much, they may regenerate their body. How this
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: happens is unclear, as Reiner never explained where the ability
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: came from. I theorize that it may have something to
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: do with the nines connect to each other the paths,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: as well as the Warhammer Titan, whose second ability is
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: that its shifter can be anywhere within or without the body,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: so long as it is attached. The next question you
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: may have is why do titans smile? Well, the obvious
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: reason is so they come across creepy as hell. I mean,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: who wouldn't find it creepy to have a massive nude
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Nicholas Cage smiling at you from a hole in the wall.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Fun fact Isiyama also drew many of his pure Titans
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: to look like his friends, family, and various actors he liked.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: So when I say there's a Nicholas Cage Titan, I'm
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: serious from in universe. However, the reason why a Titan
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: smiles is explained because they're in terrible anguish. Emir not Fritz,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: the one in the Cadet corpse who ate Marcel. She
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: said that being a peer Titan was living hell, and
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: that it was also like a waking nightmare. We're even
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: treated to a nice time lapse of amirs depressed Titan
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: taking a dirt nap for the next fifty years until
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Marcel sets up camp on top of her. But the
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: reason they smile isn't just because they've lost their sanity.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: They also display happy movements, particularly when the walls are
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: torn down, in which they rush toward their enemies in
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: a silly, if not dancing way. This is because they're
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: happy that they have the chance to possibly eat a
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: shifter and return to human form. This is also why
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: few of the abariant Titans also don't smile, and instead
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: display a face of pure focus and determination. This is
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: also your answer for why Titans always throw up. The
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: reason for that is while they do have digestive systems,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: those systems don't actually function, and thus they can't digest anything.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: They eat. They merely eat humans hoping to get lucky,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: as if they eat a shifter they will transform back
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: into a human, which is likely a euphemism for how
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Emir felt that the Titans made her a slave in
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: a different way and sought to be free. If a
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Titan eats a shifter, regardless of whether they can digest them,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: it counts. So why did Erin get eaten and Santa
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Titan didn't turn human again? The answer to this is
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: that Erin wasn't actually dead, nor was his spine comp
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: In other words, if Santa Titan was careful to actually
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: chew instead of just swallowing him, he would have turned
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: back into a human and survived the day. Why can
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Zeke control Titans? This answer actually has very little to
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: do with the Beast Titan, as it was stated that
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: no other Beast Titan in the past could do it,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: but instead only Zeke, who was basically like a second
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: founding Titan. The reason was purely because he was a
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: royal with the power of the Titans, which essentially made
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: him a founding Titan by default. If Astoria Reese had
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: eaten Zeke, as was the plan, she too could have
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: commanded Titans just like him. It's even a personal theory
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: of mind that had there been any other Titans near
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: rod Reese's pure Titan form, he could have commanded them too.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: So long as someone with royal blood had access to
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: the power of the Titans, they can tap into the
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: founding Titan's power with or without actually being the Founder.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: What the heck's up with the Akerman clan? Well, the
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Akkerman clan is a unique clan in that they possess
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: the power of the Titans, but can't actually turn into
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Titans themselves, which is part of the reason why Levi's
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: so bad ass and considered a human Titan despite not
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: actually being one. The secret is that Carl Fritz wanted
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: a clan to protect him, so he took the Akerman
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: clan and made them immune to the Founder's influence. Due
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: to this, they cannot actually transform into Titans even if
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: injected with Titan serum. Had Kenny decided to try and
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: become a Titan after being burned, nothing would have happened
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: and they would have lost the last of the Titan
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: fluid and Arman would have died. But the secret about
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: the Ackerman plan is that while unable to turn into Titans,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: they still can use its power. They gain incredible strength
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: from trauma, similar to the concept of hysterical strength, and
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: they can further gain incredible knowledge of how to fight
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: due to the same power that allows Titan shifters to
• 15:44
