His left arm.

It looks damaged or something. Not to mention, his right arm is the last one to leave his titan body (it shows this in the page before), so then it couldn't have to do with his arm simply regenerating or cooling off if ther left arm had more time to do that. Was it injured somewhere? In fact, titan shifters heal their bodies remarkably fast from what we've seen with Eren, so this must be something serious. Maybe he was injured when he was a kid & i think titan shifters were born as humans not titans & then acquired the ability to change into titans.

correct me if i'm wrong Yeah, but most likely they were regular Titans who ate a Titan shifter (like Ymir; it's also implied that Reiner and Bertholt were as well) Basically to become a Titan shifter you need to inject yourself with a Titan serum, become a mindless Titan, and eat a shifter to regain human form. But I wonder how Titan shifters started out. We're they Titans who were experimented on and able to acquire methods or something diff altogether?
