Why did he have to inject Eren to make him a. . . Normal Titan? . . . to then consume him [Grisha--Ed.] to become a Shifter with the Coordinate? Why not do it himself?

--J.D. Two possible explanations that are not inherently mutually exclusive...

1: Grisha was suicidal.

2: Maybe Grisha, being a homelander, wouldn't be able to use the coordinate the way the child of a wall person and homelander could.
