I really like this chapter. I won't extend myself on the reasons, that have been evocated before.

After reading the chapter, I was like "God thanks you Isayama, you just destroyed the theory I hated the most (aka Eren being the Demon of All Earth/The Demon of All Earth being an actual demon).". So, about this source of all living matter (this is only a name given by the Research Society and Kruger, so we don't know if that thing deserves this name or not), I've seen lots of people saying it looks like hallucigenia, a Cambrian worm. I don't know if it's voluntary by Isayama or if it's only supposed to look like a spine (which was my first impression when I saw it). Also, we've got the answer about why the spine is so important for the Titans-related stuff, I wasn't expecting an answer to this, so it's pretty cool. Also, it was really cool to see the first shifters. And, how big is Ymir's Titan??

Also, it seems that Ymir wasn't born as a member of the Eldian tribe. How ironic that would be if she was born in a Marleyan village! Ymir, a demon to the eyes of the Marleyans, was a Marleyan, Ymir, a goddess to the eyes of the Eldians, was a Marleyan! Yes we don't have any confirmation about this, but how beautiful that would be.

However, this chapter raises a few questions. How were the pure Titans created for the first time? How the subjects of Ymir happened to be suddenly linked to the Coordinate? Because it's still a bit confusing. If they were all Ymir's descendants (I mean blood-related here), then they would all be "royal"-blooded? Before this chapter, I thought that when Ymir gained her powers, all of her people were suddenly linked to the Coordinate, making them subjects of Ymir. But now... And how were the 9 shifters created? Is it as someone said before, Maria Rose and Sina were eaten by 3 persons, making 3x3=9 Titans, or is it as the ending of season 2 says: six other people eating Ymir's body (and the three daughters of course). Because we saw people behind the King in chapter 122 when he told them to eat Ymir, but hard to tell if they were eating too.
