They have a built-in steamed dumpling factory that secretly feeds them internally; making you believe they don't need to eat.

well since Eren can transform into Titan and that Titans have no reproductive organs, all the Titans are probably once human and fail the transformation like some kind of virus in Resident Evil where most people turn into monster while chosen one gain super power?

anyway also scene with Mikasa at the end XD

also i buged me quite a few time but wtf is there a titan with sparkly old-school shoujo manga eye? it is creepy as hell.

Flolan · 2013-05-27, 16:39

So i have been wondering... but how do the titans locate the humans hiding inside houses? In episode 8 there were a lot of titans crawling around the supply tower even though the humans there kept inside. Its like humans draw in titans like bees to honey. It makes me wonder if titans have some kind of superior sense of smell... or perhaps hearing.

And it's in poor form assume to he's immortal because of it, especially in a episode you where had just seen him take tremendous damage.

No I am not mistaking plausibility for something I don't like. How many days passed since Eren got torn apart and devoured to when he reconstructed himself and "became" that Titan? They better come up with one clever reason aside from daddy gave him some injection to turn him into a magical unicorn that punches and punts baby titans.

? it is the same day within a few hour at most and also he only got arms and leg bitten off and swallow whole, so it is not far fetch he stay inside the stomach for some time before turning into titan, also they have no reproductive system and no need for food so probably they have no digestive system either.

oh i wonder how they sense human as well, some kind of sixth sense? smell? and they should build a full plate Armour for titan Eren or at least some weapon and he would be unstoppable

I don't know why you think that Eren was completely consumed, he was just swallowed, we didn't see what happened next.

Anyway we have already seen that all the Titans can regenerate whole parts of their bodies from seemingly thin air, and Eren is a Titan now.

Mairsile · 2013-05-27, 17:52

I realize and accept that Eren's limbs were severed from his body and he was merely swallowed. But the writers are going to have a difficult time convincing me of all of the following:

A)Eren can regenerate like the Titans.
B)Eren somehow was inside a Titan, controlling it with his subconscious.
C)That the back of the neck is their weak spot, which houses humans, but Eren was the only living human found with the remains.

I am fine with A, but how they will make A, B and C make sense without being ridiculous is beyond me.

This is what I expect the explanation to be to make sense:

Spoiler for The truth about Eren and the Titans:

Iron Maw · 2013-05-27, 18:40

I'm really not sure why you are finding the fact that Eren can turn into a Titan due to some unknown substance forcibly injected into him years ago by his father (who we know is implied to be a researcher working on something related to the Titans) hard to believe. Whether he was about to die or not is irrelevant. Eren would have found out one way or another and it's not like this is a new concept in fiction here.

The fact of the matter is that didn't come from nowhere, and it further hints at what the Titans (or at least some of them) actually are.

germanturkey · 2013-05-27, 18:42

sweet episode. loved the action, love the emotion from Mikasa.

That was in the manga too, the manga chapter and the anime episode are titled the same thing which wouldn't make sense unless she did.

Wait, otherwise the Attack of The Gigantic Penis-less Stupid Naked People(tm) running around without the need of food or nourishment, and turning into vapor as they die is perfectly acceptable?

Being inside a Titan makes you high or something I guess so you're tripping the whole time unless you have very strong fortitude!

This.

Texas guy is in the wrong medium if he is looking for things to make sense from our reality's standpoint.

A lot of them DO look really, really happy to be there.

Anh_Minh · 2013-05-28, 02:00

*looks at Titans' crotches* Not that happy.

(And really, if you accept the creation of mass (which is what regeneration is), the rest is small banana.)

Huh. I was going to post the scene of Eren's "death" to prove that the Titan chewed on him, but looking at that clip again, it's clear I was wrong. The Titan makes one chewing motion with his mouth, but he doesn't do more than that.

Does anyone else think the requirement for eren to turn titan is to get super mad just like Bruce Banner go HULK??

Oh yeah! Hardly anyone of us here seems to notice that Eren could transform into a titan by being "angry" and get injured at the same time. Which means he have to behave like Hulk, but getting a physical injury is an additional requirement. Now I know it...

"Armin: Eren, now might be a good time to get angry.
Eren: That’s my secret. And you know what? I’m always angry..."

* transforms into "Titan-Hulk" *

articuzwolf · 2013-05-28, 05:53

I personally think Eren always mad all the time

He got his powers the sameway too, through a serum injection.

This is what I expect the explanation to be to make sense: Spoiler for The truth about Eren and the Titans: Eren comes from a line of alchemists who, somehow, have the capability to regenerate to a certain extent - a trait shared by the Titans. The Titans are more or less golems, or simulacrums, created by cabalists/alchemists and are usually controlled by some medium placed in the back of the neck. By attacking this spot, the medium controlling the Titan is destroyed. However, Eren (due to his rare lineage) has the ability to replace this medium and control the simulacrum with his subconscious. __________________ "You're a gentleman; However, being only that is useless."
