![]() ![]() However, this act of bravery allows Armin to immobilize Eren’s Colossus Titan, Levi to blast a hole through its teeth, and Mikasa to end the genocide by beheading the love of her life. The Armored, Cart, and Female Titans battle the Centipede and its new Titan army, nearly losing their lives in the process. Reiner grapples it to the ground while Armin transforms into the Colossus Titan, destroying the Founding Titan but leaving the creature intact.Ĭentipede-kun, now considerably chunkier than before, fumigates the area with a cloud of mystical smoke, turning hundreds of nearby humans into Pure Titans. In 137, Zeke Yeager interprets it as a form of life that has survived for eons “because it was in its nature to multiply.” Jean Kirstein later activates the dynamite on the cervical vertebrae extending from Eren’s Founding Titan, releasing the Shining Centipede for the last time. Gabi Braun refers to it as a Shining Centipede in Chapter 136 of the manga, indicating that it could be the Founding Titan itself. Although both Erens (Kruger & Yeager) have the same socio-political epiphany, they fail to comprehend the exact nature of the Power of the Titans. This belief in her ordinariness is reiterated by Eren Yeager in “From You, 2,000 Years Ago”, in his bid to emancipate Ymir from her multi-millennial slavery. He suggested that Ymir the Founder was neither divine nor demonic, but an ordinary person who accidentally came across the “Yūkibutsu no Kigen” - the Source of All Organic Matter. The first clue to the creature’s existence is dropped by Eren Kruger in season 3. What We Know About The Source Of All Organic Matter ![]() The translucent spine-worm reappears at the end of the episode, popping out of Eren’s neck and reassembling his recently decapitated body. Ymir’s daughters, Maria, Rose, and Sheena are forced to consume “every last scrap” of her dissected corpse, eventually giving rise to the Nine Titans. Thirteen years later, Ymir is killed by an assassin’s spear aimed at the king, but the latter ensures her powers are transferred to her descendants. The rest of the episode goes on to explain how the Eldian King Fritz exploits Ymir’s Titan to inflict his martial authority on the surrounding nations, particularly Marley. She doesn’t drown - a luminous creepy-crawly swims up, tacks its tendrils to her spinal cord, and the first Titan emerges from a pillar of burning light. In “From You, 2,000 Years Ago”, Ymir ventures into the cavernous hollow at the base of a supermassive tree, loses her footing, and plunges into a body of subterranean liquid. The previous episode of Attack on Titan reveals this enigmatic organism to be the origin point of all Titankind, subverting the previously held belief that Ymir had made a deal with The Devil of All Earth. The Shining Centipede, or Centipede-kun as it’s affectionately known to fans, is the insectoid entity that grants Ymir Fritz the Power of the Titans. Titans are ghastly, peculiar, and thoroughly disturbing, but they’re not half as supernatural as the anomaly that brought them into existence. Even the laws of thermodynamics that anchor the real universe in place are nothing more than a set of vague guidelines where they’re concerned. They look like people, if by people you mean eerily distorted caricatures made by deranged five year olds. Titans are weird, even by anime monster standards. ![]() This article contains major spoilers for the Attack on Titan manga. ![]()
