I dunno when he'll transform next, but the next transformation will answer a lot of questions about how Titan shifting works. I personally believe when he transforms for the first time his Titan form wouldn't be bigger than Eren's. Tune in next year to find out, lol.

I still don't understand why so many people thinks that Armin will get another appearance after eating Bertolt, and I contend that Ymir is a very good example that Shifters don't take the appearance of the Shifters they eat:

Also quoting Rod in chapter 64:

"Historia! Don't worry, this shot will let you become a powerful Titan. I chose the Titan that was most suited to battle."

Meaning "you'll take the Titan form given by this serum I chose for you, not whatever form Eren has".

It seems that idea started after we knew that Eren's original Titan form was different than the current one, but again, I still think it was just the result of aging or something like that. It's easy to see the relation, isn't it?



Regardless of whether the change was caused due to aging or eating another Shifter, his lips (or lack of), shape of the jaw and elongated ears clearly show that it was the same form and that it just "grew up". I believe it's adaptation that causes the Titan Shifter's new form to look the way it does once it's revealed. The mindless Titan adjusts to the power taken from the Shifter and assumes the appropriate form once the human reasserts their awareness.

Also, the Titan Shifter page says that their powers get transferred upon being devoured.
