Board Thread:Theories/@comment-33229263-20180629171833

While this isn't exactly a theory that affects the story/plot or the way we percieve a character, I just randomly thought of this and decided to share it.

So as the titles implies this is about the Attack Titan originally going to be the Founding Titan.

1st Piece of Evidence: (And this is probably the weakest point in the "theory", if you can even call it that), is the Attack Titan's name, it's LITERALLY named after the series which is kinda lazy in my opinion, specially when we've seen time and time again that Eren destroys his fists each time he punches a stronger Titan so the name doesn't even make sense. Why is this the weakest point? Because some anime series are named after the protagonist or some important in the story (in this case Eren being a Shifter), so you easily brush this one off. Speaking of names, isn't it also weird how the Founding TItan was just called "The Coordinate" when it was first introduced? It's like Isayama wanted to avoid naming Eren's Titan.

2nd Piece of Evidence: We know NOTHING about the Attack Titan besides it's name and that it's one of the 9 Titans. Notice how almost all of the other Titans' names were anounced shortly after they first appeared or when they appeared, except for the Attack Titan which could be because at that point Isayama didn't know what he wanted to do with the Titan yet, I mean it is the protagonist's Titan after all.

3rd Piece Of Evidence: The Attack Titan and Founding Titan are extremely similar in terms of appearence. It could be that Isayama wanted the Founding Titan to be the most Human-like but because he decided the Attack Titan was going to be.. well the Attack Titan he decided to make them both Human because he could no longer go back on his decision.

4th (and last) Piece Of Evidence: Isn't it odd that Eren is the only Shifter that holds more than one Titan at the start of the series? To me, that came off as extremely random and convenient and it would make more sense if that wasn't originally the case.

"But why would he change it?" I hear you asking. Simple: Because Eren would be too OP. It wouldn't make sense that he'd be able to turn into a Titan and not be able to use his other abilities, so Isayama added the Royal Blood thing and seperated them.
