Well, the world is about to come to an end. It looks like Ymir Fritz's origins have finally been revealed, and my god, they were even sadder than I thought. That king is the true villain of the entire Attack on Titan franchise that put the entire series into motion, and he really is a despicable monster, forcing his daughters to consume their mother. However, something that isn't explained very well is one: how did Ymir die? Was it because the king chose to kill her and have his daughters feast on her flesh? Was 13 years already the time limit, and her body couldn't hold that power anymore? Could it be some sort of sickness that Titan powers can't heal? Or was she so grievously injured from another incident that her regeneration couldn't make up for it?

Now, something else that wasn't properly explained in this chapter is how Ymir's soul was split into nine titans. Like why did this happen? I think it's cool that Ymir's daughters are the names of the three walls, but does that mean each of them gained a different titan shifter ability? Did Ymir's soul just randomly go out to 8 other people, and if eating their mother's flesh did anything, which of the daughters got the Founding Titan?

Regarding the source of Ymir's power, I find it somewhat odd that this tree is what gave birth to Titans, although it could be interpreted as the "roots" that spread and correlates to the concept of paths the Founding Titan controls. I hope that this tree is brought up again, or it's still alive perhaps.

And for the final scene that the entire show has been hinging on once it was realized that titans made up the walls, my god! What is going to happen? Is Eren going to do what the Marleyan Empire feared and squash the entire world? I can't wait to find out!
