Also, when they fled, Eren was only focused on Reiner and didn't seem to mind much about leaving Galliard behind; contrary to what it would be expected if he had failed his mission and was leaving the War Hammer with him as well.

There might still be a small chance that Galliard inherited the powers instead (and it would be an interesting plot twist); but it seems this option hasn't been considered to be probable enough to raise doubts. 🤔 Do you suppose it’s possible that Eren is trying something that his father started unintentionally, which is gathering all Nine Titans, and seeking a means to break the curse? If so, will he simply bite Armin for his Titan instead of kill him? I think that Eren did not manage to eat Ms. Tybur because he did not open Galliard’s mouth to eat her that is why Eren tried to eat Galliard in order to possess the War Hammer Titan.
