On the last chapter we were already made aware what really is hidden (well not really hidden) beyond the wall. I have the following questions in my mind with my theoretical answers:

1) Who built the wall? -In the latest chapter we were made aware that there are people beyond the wall and are far more advance from "mankind". For starters we were already aware that the material used to build the wall is the same material generated by the titans when using the hardening ability. This made me think, what if the wall was not created to protect "mankind" from the titans but rather keep "mankind" inside.

2) Why did the wall monarchs stopped the progress of technology? -One simple answer is, they do not want to let the people know what is beyond the wall. Why? Because the wall monarchs know the things happening beyond the wall. Just how do you think Rod Reiss got the serum to shift humans to titans? Hanji already mentioned that the serum was far more advance than what they know.

3) In relation to question #2. If the wall monarchs were in bed with the people beyond the wall, how come they still stay inside the wall? - I have 2 theories here. #1 They were ordered to do so by the people beyond the wall. #2 One of them stole something from the people outside the wall. Yes that is right, i think the first king stole something and fled to the wall to protect himself. As you may recall, abilities can be obtain by eating a certain serum in a bottle just like Eren did with the armor serum. That is the reason why everytime the Will of the first king is passed on to one of the Reiss' Family they abbandon the thought of helping protect the wall because number 1 it would expose the one who has the ability and number 2 they would end up loosing the only leverage they have against the people beyond the wall.

4) Why does the titan shifters want Eren so badly? - Remember when Zeke confronted Eren in the battlefield he said the word "SAVE". Then i realized upon finishing the last chapter, Eren is not from the wall. He has a bloodline outside of the wall. My theory is, having the warrior titan shifters in the same training corp as Eren was not a mere coincidence. They were already eyeing Eren from the very start. Sure their objective is to obliterate mandkind but i think the primary objective was to retreive Eren.

I have more theories on mind like why the people beyond the wall created the titans? Why do they want people inside the wall dead and some other things. Right now ill just leave you with this. Please if you have any other theory please feel free to react. :D

PS: Just a quick observation. I think the warrior titan shifters (Annie, Reiner, and Berthot) were test subjects of the titan transfotmation and were sent to the mission just because they want to. That explains Annie's background where his father is crying and Reiner and Berthot wanting to go back to their hometown once they get Eren.
