So, the Asians are part of a minority bloodline and possibly the Ackermans? It’s a bit confusing because his Grandfather first says the Asians are different from “us” but then say that “memories of people from these minority bloodlines, including ours, were not affected by the King.” Lastly, there’s the conversation Kenny had with his Grandfather about the Ackerman clan: If Mikasa’s parents lived secluded in the mountains, how did they have a connection with Grisha who lived in Shiganshina with everyone else? From this time I realized that there might be much more significance to the killing of Mikasa’s parents than the story was letting on. I think with everything we know about the Ackermans and her Asian bloodline, should we really believe Mikasa’s family was randomly targeted by those human traffickers? If they live secluded in the mountains, why would traffickers go all the way there when they could probably easily go to the slums where Levi lived? Let’s talk about Mikasa’s parents for a moment.

There’s a chances that maybe this is the symbol for her mother’s clan and not the Ackerman clan, but this must have some plot relevance other than to explain why Mikasa always wears a band around her wrist. Let’s not forget, we still have not learned the significance of Mikasa’s family crest that is carved onto her wrist in chapter 5. Mikasa doesn’t even say that confidently herself. “This Again?” What Is she referring to? It doesn’t seem like she just hit her head. Or what about this conversation Mikasa and Levi had in chapter 63? It was almost if she went through a special transformation after she said “FIGHT” and her entire body was reenergized in a new way that allowed her to propel from the floor with such strength that she broke through the wood. Let’s not forgot the power up moment we witnessed episode 6 when Mikasa stabbed those “burglars” to protect Eren. Has no one else wondered why Mikasa and Levi are so strong? If Reiner, Bertolt, Annie, and Eren, are titan shifters, how did Mikasa beat all 4 of them and rank #1 in the 104th Training Squad? Why is Levi’s strength and ability considerably higher than one one else in the either story, except Mikasa? I’m am so convinced that it is the Ackermans at this point like I’ve been suspecting all along. So, which family is the other Titan house that might be within the walls? Have we even been introduced to them yet?

But I think we can confirm that the Reiss family is in fact the true royal family because 1) they are able to access the full abilities of the Progenitor Titan and 2) Zeke himself referred to the king as King Reiss. This gets confusing though because in Grisha’s records they’re describing him as King Fritz and within the walls the king was known as King Fritz. We know the Progenitor Titan belonged to the Reiss Family and that the Reiss Family is the true royal family within the walls. This isn’t explicitly stated, but heavily implied.

After the Great Titan War, 7 of the 9 titans were under the control of the Marleyan government, so maybe we can assume that the other 2 Titans escaped to Paradis. Or a combination of both, who knows at this point. Balance was kept through the Progenitor Titan, but this changed when the 145th Titan decided to split and move the capital to a remote island OR when the Marleyans plotted an uprising and began a civil war. If we put the two together, prior to the formation of Paradis the houses that split the other 8 titans were constantly warring for generations. We have this view of the outcome of the Great Titan War told by Grisha’s Father:Īnd then we have this telling of the Great Titan War from Dina: However, we are presented with two different perspectives of the war. In chapter 86, we learn of the Great Titan War that occurred 80 years prior to the death of Grisha’s sister. If you haven’t checked out my breakdown of chapter 86 you can do so here! I wasn’t sure how, but I think we’re finally getting to the main clues and information to figure everything out. I’ve been saying this for nearly two years now since I really started to delve into the crazy ass world of Shingeki no Kyojin, but I’ve always thought the Ackermans were going to be revealed as Titan shifters.
