1) Eren's dream at the very beginning of the series.

2) Ymir being the only one able to read that "strange writing" on the herring can.

3) The "Invisible Paths" connecting every Subject of Ymir through time and space.

4) Just how Eren Kruger gained the "Attack Titan" in the first place in complete secrecy while undercover in Marley.

5) Eren Kruger telling Grisha to carry out his mission if he wants to save Mikasa, Armin, and everyone else.

6) The Smiling Titan ignoring Bertolt and headed straight for the Yeager household seemingly with purpose. 2 isn't a mystery, Reiner was just pretending he could not read it to remain undercover (bit of a flimsy explanation, I'll admit, but it's the one that most fans go with), 4 isn't meant to be answered, we are just supposed to accept that Kruger came into possession of the Attack Titan at some point, and 6 happened because Dina was an abnormal Titan, and it is common for abnormals to target specific people and ignore others. 2) I don't buy that as an explanation. Those same herring cans appear for a split-second during Season 2's Closing Theme (at the 0:22 mark to be exact) which was essentially an abridged version of Ymir Fritz's legacy. That would imply, at the very least, the "strange writing" is connected to Ymir Fritz and the first of her Subjects, probably their original language that was lost to time or deliberately forgotten through the combined efforts of Karl Fritz using the "Coordinate" and Marley's censorship. Ymir (104th one) was taken in by devout followers of Ymir Fritz, who probably were also privy to her "lost language" and taught Ymir how to read it.

4) Something that extreme happened offscreen with no explanation and I'm just supposed to accept it? That doesn't do it for me. How the "Attack Titan" holders remained undetected in Marley for several decades before ending up in Kruger's possession is very intriguing. It should be addressed as such and not be a wasted opportunity.

6) Okay, I'll bite. Dina promised Grisha she would find him no matter what happened to her before being Titanized which made her Titan an abnormal as a result. Fair enough. So how exactly could Dina possibly know where Grisha's home was in Shiganshina? She just knew? Through the "Paths" perhaps? Her Royal Blood may have played a role in this somehow...
