The titan @ Connie's village actually hints at the creation of titans, basically, every titan was once a human. Or at least some of them. That titan was probably Connie's mother or sister once

This was definitely my takeaway.Originally Posted by KrayZ33
Leaving this thread. Some people here are 100% confirmed manga prophets.
Well it's a viable assumption because the wall titans apparently produce the same crystal as Annie so could definitely see how it seems all Titans, or at least all human controlled Titans, are capable of using that ability.
Also went back and rewatched some of it. Reiner and Annie always seemed to be on the same page and he's always got his eye on her during the Trost and training sections. They also made comments about the Eren Titan being useful as an ally when it first appeared by the Trost HQ. If those are intentional indicators, pretty safe to say they are either in league together, or from different factions but Reiner almost definitely knew Annie was capable of transforming...
Just to make it once more clear, in case this is about my posting: I never read the AoT manga. I dislike reading manga in general, the only manga I follow are Detective Conan, Berserk and HXH (yeah, fml). When I write that I was convinced that it was obvious that Rainer and Bertrham were the other special titans, that comes from me remembering some discussion inside this very thread.
I have no manga knowledge, so whatever I write cannot be a spoiler.

He isn't talking about you.
Peace.
I assume he's talking about me, even though I don't read the manga, and that one thing I posted I only knew because it was announced across the ENTIRE internet in a "Guts is finally off the goddamn boat!" way.
What boat.
Peace.
I'll PM ya. I don't want to start a Berserk discussion here.

episode 16 is out
--------------------
First of all: I call bullshit. Titan-transformation out of nowhere. Ok. So truly anybody could be a titan now. Makes everything kinda shitty :/
Also, I really don´t know what to think of Rainer anymore. I was 100% convinced that he was the Armored Titan from episode 2/3. Now he looked like he really didn´t have any Titan-abilities. ALTHOUGH carrying that titan must have been at least close to superhuman strength. Hm ...
I said it before, I´ll say it again: I want some answers. And I want them a couple of episodes before the finale, so that something can come from those answers.

I'm not sure what you mean by "out of nowhere". She clearly already knew she was a titan. She and Christa seem to be from...somewhere else. That has a completely different language. Most importantly, the titan Ymir turns into looks exactly like the one in Rainer's flashback. She's not very cool looking though...
I did think it was funny that during that scene, they were talking about herring. Like referencing "red herring". Maybe Rainer's normal after all.
I don't like these new tiny titans. Being able to get away through small spaces was one of the few advantages people had. These smaller ones that can just go in through doors seem like dicks.
Come on, you know what I mean with "out of nowhere". Basically, the series has put itself in a situation where EVERY character could suddenly reveal a special ability/past. That´s not good story telling.

I guess. But like I said last week with my BSG reference, that's been the case since the instant they revealed Annie was the female titan, it's not really a new development.
Predictable characters would be even worse though. I don't have any problems with this.
After all, Annie Titan arc was the best arc in the series.
A group of humans that have been shown as human for years staying human is not what I´d book under "predictable". A story can be unpredictable without pulling stuff out of its own ass.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
I don't think so... I don't even see this as an ass pull.
Most of all, I don't understand why you'd consider it so. After all, you say Bertholdt and Reiner are Titans too. Their story is "normal" too and they came from some random ass hometown just like everyone else. That's what they say at least.
The very fact that Eren was able to transform into a Titan made it a possibility. So, shall we complain about that then? He was shown living as a human for years too.
It's not even like people don't suspect titans among them, the scouts took away their gear for a reason, remember?

Don´t be so disingenuous. Reiner and Bertholt were suspected to be titans from episode 2/3 on. Eren was eaten by titan and got a chemical injection from his scientist dad.
Sure, we COULD assume that every character has some special background ... but that´s what makes it bad story-telling imo.

Reiner and Bertholdt were never suspected to be titans in episode 2 or 3... thats complete BS.
And what's bad story telling about there being a possibility that some characters have a special background story? I don't get it.
Is Bourne identity a bad story because people could be double agents or agents in the first place?
It's just part of the mystery that involves the titans and the "titan-walkers". It was relatively clear that Annie didn't work alone and it became even clearer now, with the appearance of the beast titan that there is more than just a mindless horde of titans that want to eat humanity.

As soon as both Rainer and the armored titan had been shown, people were speculating about it being him.
When "some" turns into "almost everybody", then it becomes bad.
