Holy fuck. Eren you magnificent bastard. Damn, so much is now riding on Eren's shoulders. He's the key to humanity's salvation, but one wrong move with this power and shit could go out of hand pretty quickly. At least this puts an end to that Fire Titan business. This is much, much better... |

O__________O all those foreshadowing....Holy shit LOL How did i not realized this before!!!! DX I should have known it was weird that all the titans were attracted to ERen during the trost battle! IT all makes sense! HOLY mother! Hannes dying was sad :( I saw it coming but still.. ;~; For the first time since ages, Eren finally takes the lead and protect Mikasa and even carried her <3 Awwwhh...That scarf scene ;_; Erwin looks pretty worn out, omg...what's going to happen now he lost an arm! :S Jean is hurt </3 |

looks like this was the end of this arc. So Eren can control mindless titans, that actually makes sense during Trost, when you go back and re-read. makes me wonder if Eren knew about the titans in the wall, could he unintentionally order them all to wake up and order them to kill all titans. Might that be why RBA is desperate to capture him. They might fear, he'll unleash hell on their home village. But that could also leave humans unguarded, and serve them on a plate. can't wait to get the translated version 5/5 |

Yahoo! Wow, lots of things happened in just one chapter! I didn't want Hannes to die, but, along the "good-bye" Mikasa gave to Eren, finally we have a new character development for Eren! Kind of pleased that he didn't Jabberwock-ed for the shit and giggles! ... Man, and a lot of shipping goes back on track! (Mikasa x Eren and vice versa, should be happy from now on :} )! Erwin survives for now, as Armin and Jean (well, ... I'll leave this to the imagination of shippers, too). I hope the Scouting Legion returns safely behind the Walls. So, the coordinator is the substance that Grisha injected into Eren and R/B/A/ and perhaps Ymir need it back. Still early to say on what ground, and, sorry, as I said before - I don't accept powerful creatures to cause unnecessary deaths of innocent humans. I am sick of looking at such tragedies as a some sort of an abstract statistic. I am saying it again, because I will consider it a minus, if justified. Need a coherent translation for the whole chapter, thanks to all fans, who helped with quick translations! Good work, Hajime! * kya* |

Or maybe it's just a bad translation |

I have a few theories here, and I made an account just to share~ Ok, so the Ape Titan was shown exhibiting not one, but two abilities. The ability to command titans, and the ability to create them. Connie's village was shown with the buildings destroyed, not a drop of blood or human remains at all, all of the horses in the stables, and a titan resembling Connie's mother saying "Welcome home" to him. These all point to the Ape Titan turning all of the members of Connie's village into titans. Now, remember what happened to Eren when he lost control. He was dreaming, or asleep both times. The titans attacked at night, which means that the village all became titans at night when everyone was asleep. Everyone, except for Connie's mother, who was probably awake during the transformation. The Ape Titan, fearing that she'd be able to assume control over her titan form, halted the transformation mid-way, leaving her with unusable arms and legs on top of her house. With that out of the way, this brings me to our titan shifters. Eren was given a mysterious injection by his father after his mom died, saying "Master this ability to protect Mikasa and Armin". Obviously that injection was the Titan Shifter syrum, but there's no insight on how people can get their hands on this stuff. It definitely involves getting something from a titan and making it into an injection, I can assume that much. Now, the Warrior Trio, Bertholdt, Reiner and Annie, all demonstrate odd abilities unlike that of any normal titan, abilities unique to the individual. Annie can harden her skin, Reiner has armor, and Bert has his immense size. These abilities are not random, remember, these three are Warriors, they were hand-picked to destroy the walls and doom humanity for reasons yet unknown. Abilities that bolster their physical capabilities are perfect for this role, it makes them impervious to human weapons and it gives their bodies the durability to break through the hard stone of the walls. However, Eren is not a Warrior, Eren was given this ability to protect people close to him, or perhaps even all of humanity, by his father, not an organization bent on destroying humanity. The power given to him wouldn't be something like the Warrior Trio, it would be something far more powerful and fearsome. The ability to command titans to attack a specific target, or to leave something alone, a power only one other titan has demonstrated. The Ape Titan. Eren's abilities are derived from the Ape Titan, meaning Grisha knows more about the titans than anyone else. Ymir, however, is a whole other story. Ymir stole her power, Ymir, who lives only for herself, would pick something powerful to steal. She probably had access to this ability, but seeing how it was 60 years ago, the ability was either weaker, incomplete, or simply the same. Ymir didn't have someone to administer the syrum to her, she did it herself, so she didn't have anyone to instruct her of it's side-effects, she lost control when she became a titan and lived among them for 60 years, the "Titan control" ability perhaps unconsciously protecting her from being eaten as a shifter, or even giving her titan form dominance over the others by way of fear compliance, thus explaining "Ymir-sama". The tl;dr version, titan shifter abilities are based on the kind of syrum they're given, Bert, Reiner and Annie were given physically-bolstering syrums to destroy the wall, Eren was given a titan-controlling syrum to protect humanity, Ymir possibly stole this same syrum because that's how she is, but it backfired on her for 60 years. |

"From now on, we'll be together forever." Now you have your own epic quote, Eren. xD Also.... It's kinda fishy, why would Ymir go back to Reiner and Bert? Who was narrating that last page part? Eren or Historia? What did Titan Ymir say to Historia? Go on? Why didn't Reiner and Bert come back after that? They presumably got killed? ... No it's too soon for them to get killed, their "superiors" must have found them and brought them back. So Reiner's set to be one of those main rival antagonist for Eren who comes back after his ass's kicked the first time for a rematch? Kinda cool I guess. |

And someone here posted that the titans with skin and have elf ears (Eren, Monkey Type and Ymir) all may have this power.oh shit. RAW's out. I'm not sure what to think of the controlling titans bit. It seems out of nowhere, yet makes sense why they want to capture him. Also, why didn't Eren just transform? Eren can't transform cause most of his power already went to his regeneration, but you can see some of his titan power manifested with steams coming out of his hand while he controls the titans. I don't believe that's the same power. Annie was just announcing that she was there and the regular titans were drawn to that. She didn't command them. Regular titans are naturally drawn to titan shifters. Which is why Erwin was able to get them to latch onto Reiner, and why Reiner and Bert were so concerned about the strength they had and the distances they had to travel and why titans were gathering around them in the forest. The scarf scene may mean two different things to Eren and Mikasa. I do believe given recent reveals in the manga, that Mikasa loves Eren romantically, however Eren gave Mikasa that scarf in response her saying "I need to go home," and the entire context of that scarf for Eren is about 'home' and him and his parents adopting her into their home. He hasn't had the developments/emotional reveals Mikasa has had and it may be a platonic response on his part. Also, while Mikasa is speaking to Eren, he looks at Armin at least twice, and stares rather blankly at Mikasa, which is not something someone would do when faced with a romantic situation... |

Ymir might have simply concluded that she had better chances in following Reiner and Bert - humanity is not all that forgiving. But, most likely, she thinks Historia could now return and be safe behind the Walls. Maaattee. If Eren can command titans, is only the mindless ones or he has control over human-titans as well? |
Oct 5, 2013 6:16 AM

Ymir, Bert and Reiner all felt Eren's power, so I think that it might extend to the shifters, too, or at least the shifters might be able to tell when the power is being used. |

The panels showing Reiner, Yamir and Bert closeups looks to me like, they received the same order, to kill that titan. But the order probably ain't strong enough to affect them, since they are in control of their titan form. Their human side probably kept their titan side from following the order. or something like that |

tyreal42a said: And Ymir seems to have switched sides. Again. Whatever her reasons, it's getting a little annoying. She may still be convinced that humanity is going to lose. She mentioned that they have a chance because of Eren, not that they're going to win now. raoufe16 said: Ymir , eren and the ape titan, they can control titans , and they have all those elf eares :3 interesting Yes this is definitely significant. Mentioned this on the first two pages. I would also say that Eren's ability is at least as strong as both the Ape's and Ymir's. The Ape was disobeyed at one point, but Eren was practically moving the titans with his mind. And skinless titans like RBA can only command a self-destruct. OnePieceQ8 said: Erwin was deseperate.. his injury was serious.. and he's a human after all Pshh of course Erwin is human. Silly theorists. Darklight0303 said: What if the power Grisha spoke of was in fact the power to control Titans and not turning into a Titan since Eren could have been a Titan from the start? That's very interesting. I think this stands a good chance of being right. Kind of like in FMAB; Eren's titan is the truth, but his power of command is the truth behind the truth. Jotaro_Kujo said: At least this puts an end to that Fire Titan business. This is much, much better Dude, yes. I was afraid that Isayama was going to canon that...He did end up canon-ing Mikaren but this power beats fire by a long shot and puts Eren even more in control. Kamoe_desu said: However, Eren is not a Warrior, Eren was given this ability to protect people close to him, or perhaps even all of humanity, by his father, not an organization bent on destroying humanity. The power given to him wouldn't be something like the Warrior Trio, it would be something far more powerful and fearsome. The ability to command titans to attack a specific target, or to leave something alone, a power only one other titan has demonstrated. The Ape Titan. Eren's abilities are derived from the Ape Titan, meaning Grisha knows more about the titans than anyone else. This theory seems sound. I've always thought that there were parallels between Shingeki and FMA, and Grisha is Hoenheim. The dad who mysteriously disappears at the beginning of the story, but is a closet badass who knows everything. Going with that theme, Grisha probably knows the origin story. But why wouldn't he reveal it to everyone? Maybe because, like the Wallists believe, the secret would have explosive implications. Anyway. The one issue with this is that if Eren masters this power too quickly, it will become OP and all the desperation and terror associated with this manga will dissipate. Isayama's obviously going to find another way to obstruct Eren's path to mastery, or at least give him a stronger opponent worthy of the power (like the Ape). What if 2 commanding titans fought each other? Who would overwhelm the other? And what's to stop Eren from heading straight to the basement? With that being said... zellami said: I hope the Scouting Legion returns safely behind the Walls. I think this may not happen. The Ape may appear. If the Ape doesn't show, maybe the Warriors will appear to reinforce RBY. |

At least it is implied so. |

When Eren objected to Mikasa treating him like a brother, what he said was he didn't want Mikasa treating him like a little brother. That is, given the context, he didn't want her babying him and acting overprotective. Some translations put his words at, "I'll always put the scarf on you, forever." And given what the scarf means to him, that could very well mean, "I'll always be here... as a family member... for you." |

That was a great chapter. Finally some answers. Eren had to be truly important in some way to Bert, Reiner and Annie - this certainly seems a strong enough reason to go after him/break up their original plans. So this makes sense and there was always this alluding to the coordinate. There's also the Monkey Titan's ability tospeak/control Titans and the roars Annie and Reiner did. So it's not out of left field, even if it at first might seem to be. Also, Eren didn't transform into a Titan because his arms weren't completely healed yet, you could see them still healing in some panels. |

Remember how Bert said that he envies Eren for having a will of his own (during the Training chapters). Geh, hit the post button ... I wanted to say, that summoning and controlling can be two different abilities. The titans didn't attack the beast titan, but always attack the human-titans, even without summoning. |

And given what the scarf means to him, that could very well mean, "I'll always be here... as a family member... for you." He would be her little brother though, he is younger and lighter than she is at the same height. Actually, now that I think about it, in Japanese there is no neutral term for 'brother'. It's either older brother or younger brother and it does not have the same connotations/nuances English does. However, I could not find this scene in the manga. Do you know where it is? edit: nvm I got it. chap. 11. He says "I'm not your little brother or your kid." Despite Japanese perhaps not having the same condescending connotations as English when it comes to the term 'little brother' (idk really, idk Japanese), the inclusion of 'your kid' suggests that he is merely protesting her overprotective treatment of him. Even if he doesn't view her as a family member, the phrase can still be platonic. Because 100% when he placed that scarf around her the first time, it was a platonic gesture meant to symbolize that he was welcoming her into a home, either as a sister or a friend. Translations of what he said range from 'In the future, I'll still help you put it on!' to 'In the coming days, I will continue to be with you' and they're translated from Chinese, not Japanese, so things are sketchy. Also, Eren kept on looking at Armin which works against a romantic context for his response. In any case, bonds of friendship can also be ~forever~. |

I would've laughed my ass off if Eren was like 'Fuck this, I can control Titans, let's all head to the basement NAOW!' and two panels later they're in the basement. |

If the Ape doesn't show, maybe the Warriors will appear to reinforce RBY. Well, given the last page, I think it's pretty same to assume that they returned to the walls safely. At least it is implied so. Yeah, they guys badly need rest and time to regroup. If I have ever felt having a beach episode, the time is now :] |

Did Eren x Mikasa just became canon? OH, no more chance for EreAnnie i guess :( But i admit the EreMika moment was lovely. I actually thought they would kiss O///O Eren finally the one carrying Mikasa. >w< Hannes-saaaan TT^TT Eren's got new powaaah? whoah~!!! But Reiner was like "The person that absolutely shouldn't posses it in this world is you, ERen." Omfg, just what does that mean???? |

^ He probably means that such an ability ended up in a hot-head person like Eren. |

Wow. I'm not sure what to think of this chapter. It's a mind-boggling twist to be sure. It has been suggested that the reason the titan shifters wanted to capture Eren so badly was precisely this ability, but from the scanlation, it seemed that Reiner was surprised that Eren had the ability. Or maybe he knew about it all along, and was just surprised to see it activated so unexpectedly "in the worst possible location". "We absolutely need to get it back." He spoke of the power as if it was some magical amulet that can be passed around. Annie failed. Reiner failed. With Eren's new power, doubt they are much of a threat anymore. So will the Ape titan and whoever is responsible for him be the new (and real) enemy? Will the next arc of SnK turn into Warcraft, with Eren and Ape titan sitting behind fortresses commanding titan fodder? Lastly, what's going to stop Eren from going to the basement now? Oh well, it's only going to be a month of waiting for clarifications. :) |

Just imagine someone like Eren who hasn't completely mastered such power yet subconsciously ordering colossal titans inside Walls to move? Maa ne. Eren rushes to things head on. Now that he found he can command his enemies, and he doesn't know what and who exactly he will be able to command, ... I guess, is reasonable to be distrustful, but maybe that's one of the reasons Ymir aided Reiner and Bert instead. Liked the moment when Mikasa threw herself to protect Eren; Ymir and Christa also had many tender moments! Feels, action, and mysteries. More? ^_^ |

Think so too, but it only happens this time when Eren's really, really determined to protect someone (Mikasa). But think about it, Eren could build more walls by himself if he manages to find some Collosal Titans..... damn. And I agree with them dudes who differentiated Titan Shifters into 2 groups:

Give the ability to control titans to the one who wants them Exterminated the most = BAD ideas for titans and titan shifters. as simple as that |

Re: Xin ^ Yeah, we call them "Collosals" because their heads are on the higher level of a 50 m wall and look like skinless Bert. But they are obviously around 40 m and their response to sunlight is damn fast. In all honesty, they can be a class of their own. Set the skinned to 4-25 m, if you'd like. |
