Aggression25What about what Reiss said about just biting into the spine and letting the fluid seep out?

I do not know. I am not sure the author knows about, or cares about, basic physiology. It that was true in Titan World [Tm.--Ed.] then one would just have to do a spinal tap. Perhaps they do to create abilities. Still does not explain why they have to chain-up Getting Old Head of the Family so he can get devoured if they could do that.

Incidentally, there is nothing "special" about CSF [Cerebrospinal Fluid.--Ed.] from the spine. It is the same "stuff" that surrounds the brain--and fills the "spaces" in the brain.

IF you mean bitting into a Titan--Shifter/Abnormal/Normal--then it appears that the "dude/dudette" who is controling in the case of Shifters or providing the life-force in the case of Normal Titans resides in that region. Since seeing the Eren Transformation, I have wondered why Hanje and the rest have not inspected what is in the cervical spine of Normal Titans. Perhaps they are completely incorporated so that the only way then can "de-incorporate" is to eat a Shifter like Ymir did.
