Hi everyone,

I am sorry to inform all of you that Ymir is in fact, dead. It is absolutely certain (I'll explain why later). First of all, here is Ymir's wiki page.

If you have been keeping up with the manga, then you must be aware that Ymir has been missing from the Walls ever since the Return to Shiganshina Arc . Furthermore, in chapter 89, Ymir writes a letter to Krista / Historia telling her about her past, and also telling that she will die soon. Why? Later, in chapter 91, in the fight against Fort Slava, suddenly there is a titan named Galliard, who is in the possesion of the Jaws titan. If you read through this wiki page, or if you happen to know enough about Ymir, you know that the name of her titan was "Jaws". This can only mean that Galliard has eaten her to gain her power. The screenshot of the manga I uploaded is enough evidence, furthermore, he also gained her memories. Also, something I found out about Galliard while reading the manga, and through his page, is that he is actually the brother of Marcel, who was Ymir's predecessor of the Jaws titan. He was the boy that she devoured when she was a mindless titan, who turned into a Titan Shifter. Ironic, isn't it? Ymir devoures someone, and turns back into a human, just to become eventually eaten by his brother.

I symphatise with all the people who loved Ymir; I am one of you. It's a shame that she died, yes, but something I noticed while reading the manga is that Isayama is writing more of a realistic horror manga. Afterall, it is common for many people to die in a war. I find it interesting that he showed us different perspectives of characters who would eventually die. For example, I believed Mike was a lovable character, and could become well developed. The information he learned about the Beast Titan in his last moments could've been extremely useful for the Survery Corps. But, unfortunately, he died in the manga, and now, in the anime as well, the second episode or so of season 2. Isayama doesn't hate us, he's just trying to show us the effect war has. All your relationships never last forever, because you never know who will die next. He is only being a realist.

I hope this helps you, and sorry if you're disapointed.
