Also is the total of Titan shifters must be 9? If it doesn't have to be 9 then now there're 8 Titan shifters. What if the ending is that someone ate all other shifters so that there's only 1 Titan shifter  left, and then somehow destroy himself/herself to void so there's no more Titan shifter? Damn. Titan powers are 9 in total but there are 8 shifters since Eren possess 2 Titan powers now. One shifter eating all other shifters then ending themselves wouldn't work because the Titan powers will be reborn inside random Subject of Ymir newborn babies. Actually, I've been thinking about the implications of this for awhile now. Does Eren possess 2 Titan powers? I'm inclined to think that he doesn't...I think there is a child out there with Freida's shifting ability. There isn't really any evidence to support this, other than the Highlander-esque, "There must always be 9" theme that Krueger introduced us to. Krueger never said what happens when a shifter eats another shifter and the rules could be totally different.

MAYBE Eren does have two...and MAYBE he will gather up all 9 powers, which might let him do something (like send himself back in time to his younger self so he can try and change the way things turned out). Which I imagine he would want to do...considering consuming all 9 powers puts Armin in the crosshairs.

I think it's more likely that the 9th power is now in-the-wind. Which would be a huge game changer if the Corp could gain a third shifter. The progenitor titan, which has always been associated with the coordinate, no longer has the coordinate...Eren does. Who knows...

Althought, One thing I cant really figure out - if an infant gets a power...do they suddenly drop dead at 13? would they even know that they have the power before they die? Does that mean that the government could locate a five year old child that is having these really weird nightmares about Titans (which are acutally memories from Frieda)? If they find the kid who has it, could they teach them how to use it...or would the get someone to eat the kid and gain that 9th power? That would be a really interesting story arc.

Either way, I don't think we are done with the revelations. You have to imagine that Grisha was experimenting on himself down there in the basement, especially given what Krueger said to him about doctors being really good hosts for the power. I imagine we are going to learn more from him, Armin (through Bertholt's memories), and Eren once he begins to unlock more of the coordinate. There might be some sort of uber end game involving the 9 powers.

Who knows?
