Talk:Titans

Titan Categories:
The Wall titans and the Colossal Tians should be categorized together and adding a new class of category of Titans for "Beast Titans".

The Colossal Titan and the Wall titans should be merged into category that is called Colossal titans as they were directly referred to as being Colossal type titans in the manga by Armin not to mention the obvious similarties in there appearence the wall titans are simply a smaller version of Bertholdt's version but they are Colossal titans none the less.

Secondly we should add a new category for the Beast Titans as we now have an offical classicfication for the Ape titan which is Beast Titans ands the Ape Titan belongs under that category.24.79.202.74 05:14, June 15, 2013 (UTC)

Titan Origins:
At least 1 Titan recognized Connie when he returned to his home villiage (vol 38); notably a Titan who could not have moved itself there greeted him saying "welcome home". All other villiagers were missing and yet the horses were left behind. Are we then to assume that his villiagers also became Titans?Rkbrumbelow (talk) 18:07, July 19, 2013 (UTC)

Until it's proven directly in the manga, we cannot put it into an article as it would be a speculation. 19:08, July 19, 2013 (UTC)

I wasn't planning on it, just keeping a discussion on the talk page. Connie did say the Titan looked like his Mother. Rkbrumbelow (talk) 19:30, July 19, 2013 (UTC)

It seems pretty clear at this point that Titans are all in fact Shifted humans (though of course it's not confirmed). My personal theory is that the digestive fluids turn humans into Titans, and what Eren's father did to him didn't give him the ability to turn into a Titan -- it just let him keep his mind intact in the process. The reason Titans don't normally show up within the walls is that the spitwads are normally cleaned up before they can 'hatch'. Either that or...wait. The Titan that ate Eren had a beard. Maybe beards are an indicator of turning-people-into-Titans ability? I mean you can't get any beardier than the Ape. Kestrellius (talk) 04:03, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

I agree that maybe the villagers turned into Titans because there was no breach in the wall yet Titans appeared, however if all Titans are Shifted humans, then wouldn't there be human bodies in the napes of the neck? But we have not witnessed any bodies inside the necks of normal Titans. Shouldn't we see the human bodies at one point? Another thing I want to point out is that the villagers couldn't have all been eaten and spit out then turned into Titans because there shouldn't have been an original Titan inside. So I believe that humans turn into Titans when a specific factor comes into effect, but not when eaten and spit out. Another part of my theories is that in the past, humans wanted to turn themselves into a higher state of a being, so scientists experimented and found that "specific factor" that turns humans into Titans, but weren't careful so that "specific factor" went out of hand. That way Titans were formed. I also have another theory that maybe the "specific factor" wasn't created or sought out by the humans, rather it formed naturally because of global warming/ pollution. Then the "specific factor" was formed in the south/north depending on where the Titans breached the wall. (I can't remember, sorry.) Anyways, those were just some of my thoughts on how Titans existed. 76.182.207.137 18:50, August 20, 2013 (UTC)

I have been thinking that it may be the fault of the Ape Titan. Maybe he climbed up the wall, leaving no evidence that titans have breached it and probably transformed the humans into titans. He's really intelligent and I wouldn't be the slightest surprised if he could do that. I also have a theory that the Ape was the "first" titan ever created, probably an "original" titan, know what I'm saying? While all the other ones were humans. Even though they were humans once, they aren't shifters. They passed through some kind of modifications and they turned into a titan. I just can't see any other way as the titans don't show another form of reproducing themselves and aren't interested in animals to "feed". I sort of agree with Kestrellius about their digestive fluids turning people into titans, but maybe not ALL of them turn, only some, like the Aberrants. I'm also guessing that the titan shifters were part of a project made to specifically kill all the other giants and hunt down the source of them (the Ape), but some crap happened inside the walls and now they're all crazy. Damn, I'm really getting impacient. Each chapter reveals little to nothing! 177.97.216.136 11:03, September 14, 2013 (UTC)

I think you (who posted on 11:03, September 14, 2013 (UTC)) are 100% correct - the Ape Titan is a non-human titan, possibly part of the same race that inflicted Titan-itis on the human race173.162.224.137 19:59, October 30, 2013 (UTC)Writeshop

From Ymir's experience, I think that the Titans are trying to eat humans because they want to regain their humanity. and sometimes, it works. Ymir became human again after eating Berwick  (one of the infiltrators), and it looks like the smiling titan also regained its humanity after eatin Hannes, because when Eren commands the other titans to attack it, they then procead to eat it, like they would a human173.162.224.137 19:56, October 30, 2013 (UTC)Writeshop

Argh, I don't know. We're blundering around in the dark here. I have a feeling we may be dealing with some sort of really wierd, complicated reproductive system. But then again, where did the Titans come from to begin with? I don't buy the conventional wisdom that humanity created them. Sure, they may have been involved to some extent, but the Titans are just too...alien...to be simply part of a conspiracy. Remember how everyone constantly emphasizes that they're humanity's natural enemy, and that they're simply superior, stronger? And then we have the Ape. Bluh. And yeah I agree -- there's no way Sasquatch is human. He's ancient and alien; you can just tell from his attitude. Kestrellius (talk) 20:56, October 31, 2013 (UTC)

Hai guise, article talk pages are for discussing changes to the article not speculations about the series. Make blogs for that 22:16, October 31, 2013 (UTC)

Element types?
I got a single question. Couldn't there be element type of titans as in Ice, Fire etc.

It sounds a bit strange for there to be type but it just came to my head. Cause I remember seeing when a titan regenerates it has fire all over it if that's what it is. --Masken (talk) 01:25, April 4, 2014 (UTC)Maskenerous
 * No. Eren's "fire Titan mode" is anime-only and not canon, so no.  h fc 2 X  01:56, April 4, 2014 (UTC)
