Just few notes about your theories :-)

1. Quad Titan theory. The theory about Quad Titan being Shifter was (obviously) confirmed from the moment he had shown his speaking abilities. That is an undisputed evidence of being a skilled Shifter itself. Also, the bearded Quad Titan you mentioned isn't looking like a boss of the clan, since he's just carrying rocks (also, due to his expression, he doesn't seem to be very happy with his role of a mule). The huge one with hammer and stone is a better candidate for being a warchief :-)

2. The horse may be just Isayama's recurring gag, related to Jean's nickname.

3. Eating all 9 titan shifters theory. No way, this is not going to be happen. Even in a theoretical way of talking about it, it seems quite week (since Grisha doesn't gained any increase of abilities after he ate Frieda, he just gained her Coordinate power). Due to this theory, Eren should be a SupaShifter, since he ate a Shifter who already had eaten another Shifter. The only thing that seems to be the same, is the previously mentioned Coordinate power, since Annie (Shifter of the 1st class) was clearly far more skilled than Eren's Rogue Titan (Shifter of the 2nd class). The abilities of the Shifters raise after a hard training, not thanks to the devouring. It doesn't make much sense to eat all of the Shifters, if you would still could use just regular Titan Shifter power. Also, Ymir Fritz as the original Titan Shifter doesn't have to return, since her current reincarnation (Ymir) is already a part of the story.

4. RBA. Well, this statement of yours is quite inaccurate. First, there weren't Jewish Nazis, there were just Jews, who agreed to work for Nazi officers. These Jews never really adopted the Hitler's ideology (and Hitler itself would never agree to accept someone with Jew heritage to be a part of the new-formated Arian Nation), they were cooperating just for the benefits they will reach thanks to their work (as for these topis, check out Hungarian film Saul's Son, current holder of the Academy Award for the Best Foreign Language Picture). And this is also the story of the RBA. Yes, they are traitors, but only due to the current perspective of the story. As for their point of view, they are just soldiers, who are cooperating with Marleyan Gov to reach a benefit (of being a Marleyan citizen) for themselves and (!) for their families. Actually, their motives are quite understandable. They weren't brainwashed, they (or their relatives) just accepted the destiny they were offered of by Marlean Gov.

5. The Titan Serum theory is actually quite good. The serum can consist of the incomplete genetic code of the Shifter, so that's why the Serum itself creates only these deformated or incomplete Titans. Thanks to the devouring of a Shifter, Titan gaines the rest of the genetic code, so he/she can be finally turned to a 100 percent Shifter. Also it needs to be said that Serum have to consist of some acceleration liquid, which allows the metamorphosis to be done correctly.

6. The choosing of Eldian children is quite obvious. The theory about Titans being maximalized copy of the Shifter is half-way true. Yes, there is clearly some physical resemblence between these two forms, but the amount of resemblance isn't always the same (Annie and Reiner being very similar to their Titan forms, on the other hand, Ymir being very different to her Titan form)

7. This statement has to be proven by next chapters, as for the current condition, we have to work with both Elodian and Marleyan theory

8. The origins of Ackermans and Asians are still mysterious. They shouldn't be Marleyans, since they are living on Paradis (if they were Marleyan, they would simply live in the mainland), but on the other hand, we can't deny these fact. Maybe their origins are far away from being Marleyans or Elodians and they are descendents of a completely different ethnicity. Once again, only time (and Isayama) will tell.
