Still not sure how to react on this chapter. Mindblowing, for sure. When I read it for the first time (very quickly due to lack of time) I was a bit disappointed with the explanation of how the titan powers first appeared - a person made a deal with a devil. Seriously?!That's sooo old-school. I was really hoping for some sci-fi here.

When I accepted the fact that humanity (or maybe better to say nation?) acquired the titan powers with the help of devil and started to oppress Mare people, one quite logical question appeared.

Why did Ymir Fritz needed the power in first place? There should be a serious reason why you make a deal with a devil (or is it only me? :D ) What I want to say is, even if Mare people say that Elodians/Ymir people are descedants of devil, pretty much possible that Mare folks were oppressing Elodians long before. So Elodians obtained the power, took their revenge and established an Elodian empire where Elodians could live in peace. (that's just my theory though. maybe this part won't be even explained by Isayama).
