"LIVE YOUR LIFE WITH YOUR HEAD HELD HIGHT" she dies with her head dow. OK ISAYAMA. A character who did so much to Historia, to Sasha, even she saved Reiner and Berthold and u kill her like if it was just a character that appeared once. And now you put Reiner like a nice guy "woah you seemed like a guy everyone deppended on" woah reiner such a nice guy, now you can marry Historia and make a beautiful heterosexual ship, you totally deserve to live more, you that has killed thousand of innocents lives, you deserve to live more than Ymir, at the end she is just a poor girl with a name too big for her right? Yeah, dropped. I agree that Ymir's fate doesn't make sense here if you look at her life's philosophy (live for yourself!) but maybe she had no choice (too weak to escape?). So we can see it as a "she did once a really really stupid choice when backing Rainer and Berthold and she paid the price of her stupidity" ? To be honest I'm quite speechless they didn't even show her trying to escape this shit fate. Maybe ISAYAMA will explain it later in a flashback (once again) but really Ymir dying without a fight? Isn't that a bit lazy? Nice that they explain now in the manga how the village uprising in the anime was possible. Honestly I'm wondering if it'll turn out that Ymir made a deal with the Marley to keep Historia safe in exchange for voluntarily giving up her Titan powers to one of their Warriors But : _ she can't trust the marleyan people, even less when she's already dead. _ The marleyans didn't have the means to get Historia at that time. _ Historia would have become a slave. _ Ymir could have contributed herself to keep Historia safe if she had been on Eren's side. _ She could have been next to Historia for the rest of her short life. I really see this as a flaw in writing but this flaw goes back to chapter 50, which ironically might be the ending of the 2nd season for the anime. At that time, nobody reacted because it wasn't clear that Ymir chose death instead of Historia ... which doesn't make sense AT ALL. I reread the half-assed explanation of Ymir for her irrational choice, she chosed Rainer and Bethold and a certain death over Historia : LOL! It's the pure negation of Ymir's essence, the way the character has been written so far. But waiting few years to kill her off, clever move, he couldn't have done it right after chapter 51. The flaw would have been too obvious. |

Interesting chapter. Does Zeke not know of his mother's royal blood? Ymir is dead and her power passed on to Gilliard. The entire world is still populated and at war. Marley's enemies have advanced their military to greater heights thereby rendering the Titans obsolete. Eren and Armin have been destroying Marley navy for three years, meaning they've most likely captured and interrogated some soldiers, and acquired technology from the mainland. Where is this all leading to? I can't imagine all these plot points will be resolved by the end of this manga but I suspect the Eldians will reside on Paradis with all nine Titan powers by its conclusion. This manga sure changed from its original premise. Not that I mind much but anime fans certainly won't be happy. A lot of them don't appreciate rich story as much as they do bombastic action and gore. They're already complaining about Season 2. Also, my theory of the Ackermans stemming from Titan experiments came true... Although I hypothesized that the Titans were the botched experiments while the Ackermans were the success, and this may be the other way around. Why were they experimented on though? And why were the Ackermans exterminated on command of Reiss? Maybe the Ackermans are Marleyian. Maybe the Marleyian in an attempt to match the power of the Eldian Titan shifters experimented on their own kind, an Ackerman, to give him Titan powers but it failed and instead gave him and his progeny superhuman abilities. This may also explain why the Ackermans were hunted down on Paradis. They're Marleyians by blood which the Reiss would hate, which would also mean Mikasa and Levi can't become Titans. Also meaning there would be two ironic sides of the same prejudice. Marleyian who ostracize and force the Eldians into slave labor on the mainland and the Eldians (Reiss) who exterminated the Marleyians (Ackerman) on Paradis. badwolf45f said: Im so done with this manga, the only thing i didnt want to happen to Ymir, dying off screen its what happens...really Isayama?

A lot of people (including me) are wondering about the difference between Ymir and Galliard as a titan. What if the marley people gave galliard some sort of vial that gave him armor on his face? Just like when Eren found the hardening vial which enabled him to harden. (fill the walls) |

MoonStar9 said: So it doesn't have anything to do with you being a yuri shipper? ;) I feel like that's the only reason people were so obsessed with Ymir. It's interesting how Isayama gets criticized by the fans for plot armor and supposedly being afraid to kill popular characters. Then every time he kills one the same fandom has a meltdown. |

Idk about you, guys, but this chapter got me really emotional. I didn't expect Ymir's death off-screen, I grew to love her and it saddens me that she's gone now. She was a great character: Ymir was fundamental for Christa, she helped her to become Historia and accept herself and her real identity. And, c'mon, they were (correct me if i'm wrong here) practically canon. It's sad that they were torn apart from each other. At least, Ymir got to say goodbye to Historia with her letter. But it's just sad. Now, Reiner. I used to hate Reiner. He was mean and I didn't like him, especially the things he did after kidnapping Eren (and now I get to see it again because second season, yaaaay!). But he is just so f*cked up. I don't know if what he provokes in me is pity, but I don't hate him as much as before. He has PTSD, split personality, and tons of guilt. He got to see both sides of this war, he already lost so much. And I think he stopped being that cocky dude who used to think he was better than anyone else because he was the goddam Armored Titan. After Marcel saving his life and being devoured by Ymir, Annie being captured and with her destiny unknown, and Berthold killed in action, well, it's only natural that he's constantly haunted by their ghosts. But he now understands the horrible path a shifter has to walk, and he also now values life. That's why he makes Falco understand that if he wants to save Gabi, he has to obtain the Armored Titan's power for himself. Oh, and I love that he's so terrified of Levi and Mikasa that he has nightmares about them! I'm dying to see what's going to happen to Reiner's mind when he gets to see his former 104 companions. They were practically brothers and sisters for years, and he was somewhat free there. It's going to be interesting. Also, I' m hoping for an Historia/Gilliard encounter, that would be rather /interesting/. |

I'm not buying Ymir having had the Jaw shifter. It's one thing to have differences in looks between shifters of the same power, it's another to even lack what's characteristic of that specific Titan. Plus, how did she "give it back" while retaining shifter abilities? Interesting chapter, overall. |

What a shit chapter. He literally off-screen killed Ymir. What the fuck? I really hope there's a copout and she's in someway still alive, because regardless, this is just shit writing especially if he's planning on explaining it in a flashback, which we've had enough of already. If you're going to kill her off, at least make it meaningful. |

Remember Marco? he died offscreen too but after several chapters, we knew what happened to him. This is the same case as Ymir, i'm pretty sure Isayama will give us a flashback about what happened with Galliard. |

Its noticiable that most of people here are liking the direction the manga is going right now. Honestly for me, I personally couldn't give a single fuck about the marleans and their personal stories. After years of seeing the people behind the walls and their pain,suffering,destruction inflicted by the marleans, there isn't absoulutely NOTHING that could justify these atrocities or change my look about them. I don't feel bad for any of them, they could die in the worst way possible, for all I care.I really hope the girl dies in the most pathetic way. Really, its just that I can't stand seeing Reiner actually feeling remorse for sending those kids to war, after killing thousands of people or Zeke having some gentle side. For me, its completely disgusting. |

keragamming said: THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- woooo this chapter came out of nowhere, was not expecting it. I have to say this chapter was pretty good it allowed us to see the perspective of the marley and eldian side of things, and it was interesting. A bit disappointed that we still haven't return to our main group, but this chapter made up for it, and it seems Annie might be out of the crystal and is now helping Eren and company. I just can't wait to see how they look and what they have accomplished in these past 3 years. Also rip Ymir ;( You were one of my favorite female characters. Its also interesting that Zeke has two sons. I wonder if Eren has any by now? lol 5/5 No. Zeke has no sons; it's a wrong translation. Vigliucci said: There I was, with the feels after watching episode 5 of the second season and now we find out Ymir is dead. Well, I guess it makes sense for Marley to pass the power to a trained solider like Gaillard, who was also Marcels brother. Now that we know more about the shifters, i think this is the lineup: 1.Founding Titan: Eren (Paradis Team); 2.Attacking Titan: Eren (Paradis Team); 3.Colossal Titan: Armin (Paradis Team); 4.Female Titan: Annie (still encased or joined Paradis Team); 5.Armored Titan: Reiner, soon to pass on (Marley Team); 6.Beast Titan: Zeke, soon to pass on (Marley Team); 7.Jaws Titan: Galliard (formerly Ymir) (Marley Team); 8.Mule Titan: Piek/Pikku (Marley Team); So the 9th titan is still unidentified but it could either be on Marleys side or it could have tourned rogue and doesnt belong to any faction. And what about that Paradis panel with the Attacking and the Colossal? I guess that means Armin really turns into a Colossal sized titan. Can't wait for the next release. I love the theory that the Ackermans are the 9th titans. They're this type of titan that didn't fully developed, instead they became superhumans or something. DanRosenberg said: I don't understand this manga anymore. Re-read, I guess? Hahaha. :p Reading fan's interpretations on Reddit will help you. :) EXCUSE ME Y'ALL, but I wasn't expecting the mule/cart titan to be so gorgeous. Ugh. Pieck looks like an Ackerman. Oh shiz! |

They're supposed to get married oh my god, but Ymir is dead now. I guess, we'll no longer see them two wearing their wedding gown or suit. ;-; This manga chapter broke me. I kinda see that Zeke and Reiner will betray the Marley, will side with the Eldians, but it's not going to be easy if they're planning to go back to the Paradis and ask the Survey Corps to help them defeat the Marley seeing that they killed A LOT of the people inside the walls. Freaking Zeke killed Erwin. Ugh. I can't wait for the next chapter.

There's a four year time skip, so definitely Hajime-senpai will show what happened during those years, and we'll see what exactly happened to Ymir. |

When I saw the panel with Ymir on the 'altar' my heart sank, although I wanted her to live, its not her death that has me disappointed... it was the way she died-OFF FUCKING SCREENED and in such a pitiful way too, chained up and eaten. Not fucking cool. It's sad seeing her die like that after all the suffering she went through. I know her dying is crucial for the plot but, I would rather have her have died fighting ''living for herself'' (and Historia) as she proclaimed earlier at the tower. If I could have it my way, she would live on to see Historia again, dying only when her life force is up. (or not even due to some deus ex maxhina shenanigans) Ymir is hands down one of my favorite AOT characters, she will be missed. PS.I hope Isayama will showcase some flashbacks explaining what really went down, in Ymirs perspective. also there's the anime hopefully that'll expand more on the matter. |

The early release translation was really bad. The version release by MS is much more accurate. One more mystery Titan has not been revealed. I have seen a lot readers totally got lost with chapter 91-93.....reason being is that these are not serious reader. If the reader has been paying attention especially with the memories/history of Eren father, then the whole perspective of whats happening in Marley is essential to the final battle between Paradis and Marley. |

Great chapter, we got more insight into the ranks of the Marley soldiers. Also remarkable that this chapter did a good job at summarizing everything what's going on, that's helpful especially for readers who are lost and didn't get the content. |

Some people here are way over their heads. About the whole "Annie probably joined forces with the Paradi Eldians!"thing, nobody has any way of saying that. Zeke theorized that, in order to be able to have destroyed so many ships, they probably had gotten the Female Titan on their side. That could mean a LOT of things, since we don't know what the people in Eldia are doing at all. Maybe Annie joined them. Maybe they got more serum and someby ate her. Maybe she isn't helping them at all and they just developed some strong weapons somehow. Who knows? About Ymir. People here are WAY overestimating her influence in the overall story. She NEVER was a major character, ever! She was completely secondary until the Clash of the Titans arc. Then she was revealed as a Titan Shifter, got kidnapped, and pratically disappeared again. Again: she is NOT a major character, at all. Plotwise, she got into the story by accidentaly eating a shifter, then we learned she was a human token goddess and that's it. She is far removed from the main storyline. The reason I think people are overestimating her influence is because of the second season of the anime, in which she is so present some people are falling under the influence of a cognitive bias which is preventing them from realising that Ymir is but a secondary character. I really enjoyed this chapter, I already read it twice and am now expecting to read the official translation on Crunchyroll! :) |

I don't think anyone would mistake her for a major character, they just wanted a happy ending for her and Historia. It's been pretty obvious that wasn't going to happen though. |

Ahhhh man, this manga just gets sadder and sadder! I was really confused when the first perspective shift but everything makes sense now. I really hope in the end a somehow happy ending is managed--all our good Eldian friends dying fighting each other for some corrupt Marley is too awful :'C Also, my theory of the Ackermans stemming from Titan experiments came true... Although I hypothesized that the Titans were the botched experiments while the Ackermans were the success, and this may be the other way around. Why were they experimented on though? And why were the Ackermans exterminated on command of Reiss? Maybe the Ackermans are Marleyian. Maybe the Marleyian in an attempt to match the power of the Eldian Titan shifters experimented on their own kind, an Ackerman, to give him Titan powers but it failed and instead gave him and his progeny superhuman abilities. This may also explain why the Ackermans were hunted down on Paradis. They're Marleyians by blood which the Reiss would hate, which would also mean Mikasa and Levi can't become Titans. Also meaning there would be two ironic sides of the same prejudice. Marleyian who ostracize and force the Eldians into slave labor on the mainland and the Eldians (Reiss) who exterminated the Marleyians (Ackerman) on Paradis. I like you theory about Reiss' reasons for attacking the Ackermans! Also your titan theory actually makes a lot of sense, if only it weren't for the way it was stated like the titans definitely came first. I really hope a solid explanation for the titans origins is revealed at some point; this series has been going really strongly in the science over magic direction, with a lot of what seemed crazy at the start of the series now explained, so if they just leave that hanging it would be weird. I'm guessing it's something horribly tragic, as usual. <___> Its noticiable that most of people here are liking the direction the manga is going right now. Honestly for me, I personally couldn't give a single fuck about the marleans and their personal stories.

Really, its just that I can't stand seeing Reiner actually feeling remorse for sending those kids to war, after killing thousands of people or Zeke having some gentle side. For me, its completely disgusting. I'm 100% for team Paradis, but I don't think most of those characters deserve the loathing you're giving them. Yes, the Eldians have done horrible things to other Eldians--but it was largely done by the puppet strings of the Marley government, who really have not been put in any sort of positive spin at all. Hate them more than anyone else, haha. I still think the Marley serving Eldians are pretty dumb (it's clearer and clearer with every progression that the Marley are NEVER going to give them human status, no matter what they do), but I hate Marley even more for their corruption. And on the other side of things, it's worth it to remember that a good deal of suffering also came from the Reiss family being buttheads and never bothering to protect the people within the walls from all the mindless titans that they could've just controlled and told to shove off. There are a lot of loathsome folks around but I'd put Reiner and Zeke on the lower end of the spectrum--and I don't think the kid Eldians deserve to be there at all. |

I think Zeke has his own agenda of sorts. He's not telling anybody he has royal blood, and still wants to attack Paradis. Reiner is doing the same; he wishes to end the Eldian cycle of becoming a shifter and dying judging by his words to Falco. Hmmm... Interesting chapter. |

Still a bit apprehensive about the time skip. For one seems like we missed a lot, but maybe we will get flashbacks, spin offs, etc. Ymir dying off scene was kinda meh...I mean for as bloody as this series was the core characters I felt were pretty locked. Ymir deserved a little better I think. It's like if when we get back to the main group oh sorry potato girl died, yea... I am starting to get pretty confused to all this. Watching the anime might be some of it. Like did it ever go into detail as to Ymir's plans if they would have succeed in taking Eren and Historia back with them? Since it looked as if Ymir had a hard time if it why would see want to take Historia there. With her royal blood she would have been used for breeding right? Why would Ymir want that. I mean maybe she didn't know exactly who she was, but still. And that's one of the simpler things that confuse me. That time skip though...I just can't decide on one hand a AOT WWI could be awesome or we could lose what made it great. Heck the titans have all but become obsolete literally in the blink of an eye. Still undecided it just feels a little weird to me. But still a decent chapter with some character development albeit characters I have no real attachment to. |

Now that we know more about the shifters, i think this is the lineup: 1.Founding Titan: Eren (Paradis Team); 2.Attacking Titan: Eren (Paradis Team); 3.Colossal Titan: Armin (Paradis Team); 4.Female Titan: Annie (still encased or joined Paradis Team); 5.Armored Titan: Reiner, soon to pass on (Marley Team); 6.Beast Titan: Zeke, soon to pass on (Marley Team); 7.Jaws Titan: Galliard (formerly Ymir) (Marley Team); 8.Mule Titan: Piek/Pikku (Marley Team); So the 9th titan is still unidentified but it could either be on Marleys side or it could have tourned rogue and doesnt belong to any faction. And what about that Paradis panel with the Attacking and the Colossal? I guess that means Armin really turns into a Colossal sized titan. Can't wait for the next release. Why does Ymir's titan form look different from that of Galliard? I thought that the general appearance of the titan form remains the same regardless of the shifter! So im guessing that the form of a titan shifter is a mix between his mindless titan form and the characteristics of the shifting titan he ate. Gaillard's titan is different from Ymir's titan in looks, but it is small (im guessing 10-13 meters) and extremely quick and agile. For a more specific answer we have to wait until we see new people with the titans we already know (Beast, Armored) and how Armin's form incorporates characteristics of the Colossal. Ah! I see! If that's the case we might get to see a blond Colossal titan soon! Plus something about Galliard getting his brother's Jaw from Ymir...what ever that even mean... |

For those saying the outcry about Ymir is only from shippers. I am not and the biggest problem I have with her death is the big contrast between the speech she gave in the last episodes of the anime (2nd season) and the fate she chose, which are complete opposites. The timing manga - anime is this regard is almost hilarious at how bad the writing is, just on this (secondary) matter. MantaBaby said: So Levi and Mikasa are somewhat related? So is Mikasa a foster child from the beginning or was she a superhuman made by scientists and given to a set of parents? Levi and Mikasa are distant cousins if I'm not mistaken (Levi through his mother and Mikasa through her father). All the Ackerman are supposed to be stronger, have more reflexes and their memory can't be erased by the king/coordinate titan's power. We don't know much as to why this bloodline is "superior". In this chapter it's hinted it's related to Titan's "technology". We'll learn more later probably. |

So the Jaw titan was Ymir's titan all along? So we have only know 8 titans, and there's another one somewhere? Either the story is confusing, or the translations are crappy so far. Honestly I do not like the story so far. I was okay with introducing the continent until Owl's death, but afterwards it seems too much. I don't really care about Marley people and their perspective, especially about those kids' life and such. I prefer to see only a bit of the story of the opposing side as well, but so far it looks so dull for me. |

It makes no sense to me how you can label something as bad writting in this context. Just wait and see what happens before you jump to such judgement. |

It makes no sense to me how you can label something as bad writting in this context. Just wait and see what happens before you jump to such judgement. The "logic" behind her decision was reveled in the 50.5 chapter 3 years ago already. It's not like he can rewrite it. https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1140369 When you think that Berthold and Rainer never came to save Ymir, it was just pure luck and an accident that she got the shifting power, so there was no reason to give it back and then when you think that giving Marley the dancing titan's power back is also something that endangered even more her beloved Historia on the long term, not speaking about simply the possibility of living longer (quite the strange concept, I know) it is really laughable "logic". But sure, I'll wait to see how, from Ymir point of view, it was the best thing to do in order to save Historia, maybe Marleyan are good people who just want to save the latter. My guess : Isayama just didn't want to put a second titan on Eren's side yet, he's the MC after all, it's better if he is the only one who can shift, and having a lovey-dovey yuri couple would have not fit well with the tone of the manga. Getting rid of Ymir made sense, however the way he did it wasn't good writing IMO, ... so far. Actually one way to save this would be the theory that Zeke wants the coordinates to restore Eldians supremacy (or save all eldians) and put Historia on the throne or himself or at least has no intention to arm her. If Ymir could have known that, then maybe, it could make sense. |

Am I the only one confused by the response to Ymir's death on this thread? (Sorry if someone's already posted all or some of what I've said in the time it's taken me to write this hahaha.) I mean, I'll start off by saying that obviously this isn't the death anyone wanted for her and it would've been better to have her go out in a blaze of glory in the name of love but I feel, personally, like this is what was in the cards at the very least in chapter 89 when Historia reads "Soon I'll be dead," in the letter. And here's why I think so, monster essay post incoming: Chapter 46: Page 46 Reiner says they can do something about Christa/Historia's life or Ymir's, giving Ymir something to think about 50:39,44-47 Ymir clues in that Eren's got the coordinate power which may well be enough for them to defeat Marley but (PERSONAL OPINION ALERT) if Marley WERE to win then Historia has no chance and this is the one moment that she has to ensure that if Paradis loses, then Reiner and Bertolt would, at the very least, give their lives to protect Historia. I feel like this idea is somewhat supported by the (translated) quote from page 47: "We didn't understand the meaning of the course of action Ymir undertook, but..." 50:46-49 Bonus pages in the 12th volume Ymir says that she knows Reiner and Bertolt can't go home empty handed so she hands herself over to them and when they tell her to run now or never she states that she's too tired to run. When Bertolt asks why she saved him, she says to return a favour because if they had never come over the wall, she never would've regained her humanity by eating Marcel. This shows that not only is she handing herself over to protect Historia but also that she feels awful that she ate their friend right in front of them in order to regain her humanity; it shows that she feels some need to repent by giving her life to save theirs to thank them for stopping 60+ years of mindlessness and letting her meet and fall for Historia. 77:29 Reiner says "I made a promise to Ymir. We're going to save her no matter what." To which Bertolt replies "Yeah...No matter what." Really setting in stone that Ymir gave herself over to ensure that Historia would be protected. With Ymir not being there and having joined them, one could assume she's at the very least imprisoned or by the wording 'no matter what' that she is no longer around to protect Historia. 89:7-16 The whole letter. Giving her backstory; saying "Soon I'l be dead."; saying "I cannot marry you yet." Which is much nicer than "I'm going to be eaten now." 93:25 Galliard saying that she wanted to bring his brother's Jaw back, again showing remorse for having done that and giving it back was her way to apologize to Galliard for eating her brother alive. Which leads me to three side points 1) A lot of people might take this as "giving up her life to the bad guys" but this is war; just like in real life, there may be one side that has a better reason for fighting or is more moral but both sides have also shown to be evil and cruel. There is no real "evil nation" in this story; certainly evil governments but once overthrown, like in Paradis, you can go "Oh, now they're the good guys." Without their oppressive government, Marley is likely the same, and having originally been from outside the wall, Ymir most likely doesn't see them as a black and white enemy, so has real feelings of regret over her uncontrollable actions and I could see her being at peace with giving back what she stole from that family. 2) Ymir is what, 70+ years old? With at least 60 of those years being roaming the wilderness potentially eating plenty of humans along the way, I completely accept when she tells Reiner and Bertolt that she's tired, who wouldn't be after that? So for her to finally be able to be at peace by ensuring Historia's protection and by doing penance for her actions by giving Reiner and Bertolt a prize to bring back home, potentially saving their lives, and giving her life to repay Marcel's brother for the life she took, I think, completely fits in with her character given her history of being a cult goddess and her saying "It's not so bad being a Goddess," or however the translation went from the bonus pages from the 12th volume. She says that because (and this is a stretch) she's essentially being a Goddess by giving life to Reiner and Bertolt and giving her everlasting protection to Historia, regardless of the end of this war. 3) Comparing Ymir's teeth as a regular titan to her teeth post-eating Marcel definitely show a change to those needle-like teeth that Galliard also has, so I'm not sure the issue people have with those two sharing the 'Jaw(s)' Titan. I would say that since Galliard is from Marley, and has had the power for ~4 years, he's had more time to practice the body armouring ability that seemingly all Titans have (like Eren and Annie have both shown) but it is clearly not on the level of the Armoured Titan, so Galliard just shows armour over his face and claws (as seen in 91:40 and 92:31 respectively.) May have missed something but okay, I'm done now and I hope people may be less angry at Isayama for Ymir's death as I feel like it was pretty clearly spelled out that this would be the way that she dies and there is definitely the evidence in the books that she was getting tired of this whole war and death thing and took her chance to give her life to protect the one she loved. And maybe it'll turn out that Reiner, or Hange, or someone else removed pages from the letter, or that Ymir left a hidden message that shows that I'm wayyyyyyyy off; it's all just my opinion based on what I picked up on. |

Also, I don't think Ymir's death was meant to be thrown in there as an afterthought of an off-screen death; I think Isayama just didn't want to have a drawn out, half to full chapter, of a character that was resigned to her death in order to protect the one she loved being devoured alive. The one-page, essentially one panel acknowledgement of the character and role she played in the story was respectful, unlike a completely off-panel death, and also didn't have to flip through pages of completely unneeded imagery of Ymir being chained up and at peace with her death having her body ripped apart by the teeth of Titan-form Galliard. So...I'm kind of glad that it was done the way it was done. |

nobody199 said: I feel ya. Anime season 2 made me read the whole manga and after that big reveal I felt so fucking disappointed. The story, for me, just became shit after that :/Its noticiable that most of people here are liking the direction the manga is going right now. Honestly for me, I personally couldn't give a single fuck about the marleans and their personal stories. After years of seeing the people behind the walls and their pain,suffering,destruction inflicted by the marleans, there isn't absoulutely NOTHING that could justify these atrocities or change my look about them. I don't feel bad for any of them, they could die in the worst way possible, for all I care.I really hope the girl dies in the most pathetic way. Really, its just that I can't stand seeing Reiner actually feeling remorse for sending those kids to war, after killing thousands of people or Zeke having some gentle side. For me, its completely disgusting. |

j0x said: The Jaws Titan was Ymirs titanoh damn Ymir is now dead huh because they said they saw the memories of Ymir already, so Ymir is one of the 9 titan shifters after all, i wonder whats the name of her small weak titan and this chapter also revealed how the Beast titan can make titans by injecting his spinal fluid into eldians, so RIP Connies mom and town people, the titans made from the Beast titan can be controlled by him and can move at night so that explains what the second season of the anime is showing and wow so the Ackerman are like super genetically enhanced humans base from Titan science eh, so Mikasa and Levi really are like family then |

Vigliucci said: There I was, with the feels after watching episode 5 of the second season and now we find out Ymir is dead. Well, I guess it makes sense for Marley to pass the power to a trained solider like Gaillard, who was also Marcels brother. Now that we know more about the shifters, i think this is the lineup: 1.Founding Titan: Eren (Paradis Team); 2.Attacking Titan: Eren (Paradis Team); 3.Colossal Titan: Armin (Paradis Team); 4.Female Titan: Annie (still encased or joined Paradis Team); 5.Armored Titan: Reiner, soon to pass on (Marley Team); 6.Beast Titan: Zeke, soon to pass on (Marley Team); 7.Jaws Titan: Galliard (formerly Ymir) (Marley Team); 8.Mule Titan: Piek/Pikku (Marley Team); So the 9th titan is still unidentified but it could either be on Marleys side or it could have tourned rogue and doesnt belong to any faction. And what about that Paradis panel with the Attacking and the Colossal? I guess that means Armin really turns into a Colossal sized titan. Can't wait for the next release. As i see it all titans are exposed... Galliard ate Ymir no doubt but i think he has 2 titans like Eren (it's kinda stupid if Marley did this) simply because if you see past titans like Eren his father or the other dude the attack titan is really similar between them same with the Collosal. Take the example of Ymir's titan and Galliard's they're not even remotely close looking. That's why i think all 9 are known Ups, I read it again and they mention another titan so I just can't explain why both titans look so different, my bad XD We'll just have to wait and see |

I don't understand who's on the Marley side and who's on the Eldian side anymore, and I'm also really confused about what Eren and his group have to do with all the new characters. Was there a time skip into the future that I somehow missed? There was a time skip of 4 years after chapter 90 |

So Ymir stole the Jaws titan from Galliard's brother, and now Galliard has it. I'm confused. Ymir's titan looked nothing like Galliard's. Her titan looked exactly the same before and after eating Galliard's brother, the only change was that she gained consciousness and her human form back. The only reason I'm confused by this is because what if, for example, Ymir ate Bertholdt instead. Would her titan stay the same, or would it become huge because she just ate the Colossal Titan. Or would she be the same small titan that can just emit steam from her tiny colossal titan body? lol. Eating a titan user should give you their abilities, so why was Ymir's unchanged after eating Marcel? Would her titan stay unchanged if she were to eat Reiner's or Bertholdt's? It's coming off as inconsistent so maybe I'm missing something. Somebody please help and explain this |

Or you can say that Ymir did not change much after eating Galliard's Brother and his Titan shift power. |
