So, How DO They Make Those Titans? (An Unpopular Opinion)
Let's talk about Titans. Giant, naked, and hungry! Where do they even COME from in Attack on Titan?
The show gives us a few clues. But honestly? Some of it feels a little...complicated. We're going to simplify things. Prepare for some potentially controversial ideas.
The Obvious (But Still Kinda Weird) Answer
Eren's dad, Grisha Yeager, held the key. He had the Titan Shifter power. He then passed it on to Eren.
Titan Shifters can transform at will. Seems pretty straightforward, right? But where did GRISHA get it?!
The Marleyan Conspiracy (Maybe?)
Marley used to turn Eldians into Titans. They inject them with Titan spinal fluid. Boom! Instant (mindless) Titan.
Think of it like a really messed-up science experiment. Inject and unleash. Not exactly ethical, but hey, war is messy.
My Unpopular Opinion: It's All About the Dirt
Here's where I go off the rails. What if...it's the *dirt*?
Hear me out! There's a LOT of emphasis on the land. Ymir Fritz, the Founding Titan, got her power from some weird tree/ground connection. Maybe the soil itself is infused with Titan-y goodness!
Evidence? I Have... Some.
Think about it: Where do Titans appear from? Often, it's from out of nowhere, almost like they pop up from the earth!
Okay, okay, so maybe they just *walk* out from behind trees. But still! It's suspicious!
Also, consider this: the ability to control the titans is tied to the Founding Titan, who is also tied to the land. Coincidence? I think not!
The Royal Blood Thing (Complicates Everything)
Then there's the whole Royal Blood thing. Only those with royal blood can fully use the Founding Titan's power. More complications.
Maybe the royal blood acts as a "fertilizer." Enabling the Titan DNA in the dirt to activate. I know, I know, it's a stretch.
Maybe They're Grown in a Giant Lab?
Another theory: a hidden underground laboratory is used to grow Titans from scratch. Maybe they have pools filled with a Titan-growing solution.
It's a wild thought, but it could be true. I can picture scientists in white coats growing Titans in a controlled environment.
The Real Answer? Probably More Boring
Deep down, I suspect the real answer is a combination of genetics, spinal fluid, and some ancient magic. But where's the fun in that?
So, next time you see a Titan, just remember: it might have sprouted from the ground. Or maybe it was grown in a lab! Don't say I didn't warn you.
"Shinzou wo sasageyo!"
Let's face it, the inner workings of how Titans are created is bizarre. At the very least, it creates a great plot and an epic show.
Who knows? Maybe I'm completely wrong. Attack on Titan always keeps us guessing. That's why we love it! And maybe, just maybe, I'm onto something.
