The Lord of Silence wrote: After the Coordinate is activated it does seem to last for short period of time without further contact, since Eren was able to "order" a bunch of mindless titans to go after Reiner and Bertolt even though he was no longer touching the Smiling Titan. I wonder how long it lasts, and what its range is? Could you in theory control a titan on the other side of the world with it?

As for whether or not guy is Eren, while that would be pretty cool, I have serious doubts over it. Strategically it would be a bad, bad idea to send the Coordinate (y'know, the thing Marely is after) to infiltrate Marely. Paradis currently has very few defences against a full scale invasion besides their two titan shifters. Until they can figure out how to build accurate heavy artillery (I mean, they may have already but as far as we know they haven't), aircraft, tanks or something like that, their only defence is Eren, Armin and to a lesser extent Levi. Bear in mind the navy forces that Eren and Armin have destroyed so far weren't actual invasion fleets, but rather expeditionary fleets. An Empire the size of Marley should be able to muster a HUGE force to attack Paradis, though they will naturally be limited by the need to keep forces back to defend themselves.

Plus, the fact that the arm-band is round the wrong way actually seems to me to be evidence AGAINST it being Eren. When you are infilitrating a foreign power, you put huge emphasis on getting things like that right, it's more likely a slip up on Isayama's part, and one that'd be pretty easy to make really.

As for the Female Titan (or whatever its actual name is) if the Paradisians manage to break her out, they will kill her (probably after torturing her for info). Annie is war criminal bear in mind, and has shown pretty much no evidence to suggest she might switch sides. They might keep her alive to avoid the power being inherited by an Eldian in Marley (in which case its safer to just leave her in her crystal), but if they can find a way to make titan serum and feed her to someone to make a third shifter, it'd probs be someone like Hange or Jean (as Levi and Mikasa are Ackermans and can't become shifters). It would NEVER be Historia, because sending your monarch onto the battle field is a really bad idea in this type of warfare.

I think people may be giving the Marley Warriors too much credit as well; I have my doubts that any of them will switch sides. Zeke saying he will "resuce Eren" probably just refers to bringing over to Marley, or possibly to "rescuing" his two Titans. Reiner has every reason to hate Paradis: as far as he knows they've killed two of his friends (though just one as far as we know). The others are admitedly wild cards for the time being, but I sincierly doubt any of them will be turncoats.

Just my (very long winded) two cents. Dame you went all out. Let’s say it is Eren then yes, its stupid for him to be there even with everyone else as they wouldn’t stand a chance against the shifters let along external forces. But if it was a good way to leave a slight hint or speculation would be the armband being the wrong way although it is also stupid if he was trying to sneak in so it’s also unlikely.

It could well be a mistake but the other characters have the bands the right way and with this person who ever they may be is more detailed and in shot so I would have thought when drawing the armband would have been more noticeable as more efforts been put into it.

With the relationships between Eren, Zeke and Reiner Zeke may have said he will save Eren but it depends on what his version of saving involves e.g. he may kill him to save him by putting him out of his misery or he may save him by turning on everyone else and joining him it depends on what his version of saving is in this situation.

Reiner has two ways around this. He will flip defo and he probs knows Bertholt dead I would have thought anyway so he most likely wants revenge but I see a possible way he may calm down is by either joining Zeke and helping Eren if that’s Zekes intentions or and what I want to happen he sees Annie with them and decides to surrender or join them so he can be with his last childhood friend.

Zeke also seems to know a lot more than others I think so I image he has a plan.

If they were to pass on the female titan they would need the serum stuff which I think they don’t have any nor the technology to extract it. That being said the female titan power hasn’t been returned yet as they would have found it by now so I’m assuming Annie’s still alive. If they were to give it to someone Hange would make the most sense to me.

With the coordinate compare it to Eren getting his hardening ability. At first he could use it out of shear will power similar to the coordinate once he met the necessary requirements and afterwards with his hardening ability it took him time to be able to fully use it and master it in a sense. So, with Eren using the coordinate for the first time he too will need to master it over time with him getting better I think he will be able to affect a wider area and have better control over the titans. He can practice using Histroia after all.

I think the power works differently though with the first time Eren controlling titans then the second I think when he touched Histroia he had flash backs or something so I’m assuming similar to transforming a goal needs to be in mind.

Hope that all made sense like.
