The Nine Giants

In contrast to the Unintelligent Titans, the “Intelligent Titans” have a different “method of becoming a Titan” and also have unique abilities.
When a human who has become an Innocent Titan “preys on a human who possesses the power of the Nine Titans,” their abilities are inherited, and they can become Titans when they injure themselves in their human state. Since Yumir Fritz died 13 years after receiving the power of the Titans, the life span of the inheritor is “13 years remaining” from the time he inherited the ability (= Yumir’s curse).
From here on, I will explain the characteristics and abilities of the Nine Titans, as well as the successive inheritors that have been revealed in the work.

The Founder’s Giants

Ability: Power of coordinates, inheritance of the world’s memories
Inheritor: Yumir Fritz
→Kings of the past
→145th generation Carl Fritz
→Wraith Royal Family (Uri Frida)
→Grisha Jaeger
→Eren Jaeger

The “Founder Titan”, as its name suggests, is the founder of all Titans and is said to have the power to control and manipulate all Titans. He is said to have the power to control and manipulate all Titans. He is also capable of manipulating and falsifying the memories of humans as well as Titans, and the royal family used this power to rule humanity within the walls.
All Titans are connected by an invisible path, and the Founder Titan is the point where they intersect as one, or the “coordinates.

Attack on Titan

Ability: Future Vision
Inheritor:Eren Krueger
→Grisha Jaeger
→Eren Jaeger

A Titan that escaped Mare’s clutches and was owned by Eren Kruger, a spy for the Eldar Restoration Faction. Kruger later passed his power to Grisha, who in turn passed it on to his son Eren. For a long time, his unique abilities were not revealed, but it was revealed that he can see the future.

Super Giant

Ability: Giant body, hot air
Inheritor: Bertolt Hoover
→Armin Arlelt

While other Titans are only about 15 meters tall, the Colossal Titan is 60 meters tall, and is characterized by its overwhelming destructive power. It can even protect itself from approaching humans by burning parts of its body and blowing out high-heat wind. However, due to their massive size, they are not suitable for long-term battles as they consume a lot of energy.

Giants in Armor

Ability: Hardening
Inheritor: Rainer Brown

A Titan who attacked Michigan City with the Colossal Titan. It is characterized by an armor-like body that is impervious to blades and cannonballs, and can be partially hardened in addition to its entire body. Rainer, the heir to the Titan, went into hiding on Paradis Island for his mission, but later returned to Male. As his term of office (life expectancy) is nearing its end, he is awaiting the decision of the next heir.

Female-formed Giant

Ability: General purpose combat ability, small scale shouting power
Inheritor: Annie Leonhart

Characterized by her female-like physique, she is a Titan with all-around strength with excellent mobility and durability. She can also use the power of the Scream (the power to subdue innocent Titans), which was originally only available to “heirs with royal bloodlines,” although its effective range is limited. It was captured by the Scout Regiment in the battle of Stohess District, though it boasted extremely high fighting ability because it reflected the fighting skills of its heir, Annie.

Beast Giants

Ability: Throwing
Heir:Tom Xaver
→Zeke Jaeger

An ape-like giant with long arms and an entire body covered in hair. He excels at using his long arms to eliminate a wide range of enemies with his throwing attacks. In addition to being able to understand and speak human languages, he can use the Power of Scream to transform innocent Titans and make them obey him, but it is believed that this is an ability unique to Zeke, the heir.

Jaw Giant

Ability: Mobility, strong jaws and claws
Inheritor: Marcel Galliard
→Yumir
→Porco Galliard

It is a small Titan with a height of about 5 meters among the Intelligent Titans, and is therefore highly mobile and suited for assaulting in confused battlefields. It has strong jaws that can bite through crystals and claws that can pierce even hardened parts. At one point, Ymir was the heir to it, but after the mission to retake Eren, it was passed on to Porco by Ymir’s will.

Giants of Vehicle Power

Ability: Persistence, Combat Support
Inheritor: Peak

A quadrupedal Titan capable of sustaining its ability to transform into a Titan for long periods of time. As the heir, Peek is sometimes able to stay in Titan form for as long as several months while on a mission. It can be equipped with a variety of external armaments, such as supplies and machine gun units, and is capable of a wide range of activities from scouting to logistical support. There was even a scene where he saved his comrades’ lives with his quadrupedal mobility.

Giant of War Hammer

Ability: Create and manipulate giant bodies (weapons)
Inheritor: Villy Tyber’s sister
→Eren Jaeger

She is the last of the Nine Titans to appear, having been handed down from generation to generation by the Tyber family, who are Eldarians and have gained support within Male. The heir himself hides himself in a crystal body under the ground, and fights by manipulating the body of a Titan created in a remote location. They can be partially created and hardened, and use weapons such as hammers, bow guns, and spears that pop out of the ground. He has a very different fighting style from the other nine Titans. In the story, it was secretly owned by the sister of the head of the Tieber family, but it was given to Eren during the attack on the detention center.

Summary

This is a summary of the Titans that appear in “Attack on Titan”. At the beginning of the story, the Titans were portrayed as a major threat to humanity, but as the mysteries were revealed, it became clear that they are closely related to human history. I can’t wait to see what kind of history the Titans and humanity will create in the future!
