What if Marley had never gained control of any of the Titan powers and the Eldians of Paradise were in possession of all 9 Titan powers? They could be used in Survey Corp expeditions, if they were used in expeditions who would be the best candidates to inherit each Titan? (Excluding the current holders, you can only choose character who are in the Survey Corps)
Here are my thoughts:
Founding Titan
Krista Lenz/ Historia Reiss is the best suited to inherit the founder due to her having royal blood and the founder can only be used to its full potential by those with Royal Blood.
Colossal Titan
Hange Zoë would be best suited for the Colossal Titan. The colossal Titan is more of a tactical unit than combat, due to its size and limited speed it’s not much use in combat but can destroy large areas with its explosion quickly and effectively, Hange is quick witted and the most intelligent soldier in the Corps so she could think up tactics and plans to utilise its size and explosion.
Warhammer Titan
Sasha Blouse is a good candidate for the Warhammer, the Warhammer is able to conjure weapons using hardening, a Warhammer Titan was seen to have conjured a bow and arrow, Sasha was raised as a hunter and is very skilful in Archery and no doubt other hunting tools, so Sasha’s advanced skill in Archery would make good use of the Warhammer Titan’s ability to conjure a bow and arrow.
Jaws Titan
Levi Ackerman would be the best suited candidate to inherit Jaws Titan, the jaws strength, speed, agility and versatility compare to Levi. The Jaws Titan is an all combat unit which is why Levi is the best candidate due to his unmatched skill and experience in combat, his Ackerman blood would make him more powerful than the average Jaws Titan holder.
Attack Titan
Erwin Smith is a good candidate for the Attack Titan, his goal to free humanity from the tyranny of the Titans can be compared to the Attack Titans drive to move forward towards freedom, it’s also an efficient Titan in terms of hand to hand combat and Erwin had a high combat rating.
Beast Titan
Mike Zacharias I think is a good candidate to inherit the Beast, we haven’t seen the Beast Titan fight another Titan yet but we know it can beat the Armored which is an offence and defence unit, the Beast Titan is most likely a combat unit and can be used tactically, Mike is quick witted, smart and has a high combat rating being humanity’s second best soldier so he is the best candidate I can think off. Mike is the tallest character in the show which can be compared to how the beast is relatively larger than other Titans. Mike also has a heightened sense of smell and has a habit of sniffing people when he meets them which can be compared to an animal, some animals have heightened sense of smell and like to smell things when they first see them, and the Beast Titan shows animalistic traits, so if Mike held the Beast Titan his Titan form could show bear or elephant like traits due to his heightened sense of smell as elephants and bears are amongst some of the animals with the best senses of smell in the world.
Female Titan
Mikasa Ackerman is the only candidate for the Female Titan, she’s the most badass female character in the show, not to mention her combat experience, strength, speed, agility and versatility are comparable to the female Titan and her Ackerman blood would make her more powerful than the average female Titan holder.
Armored Titan
Jean Kerschtein is a suitable candidate for the Armored Titan, he got a high combat rating and the Armored Titan is a combat as well as a defence unit, the Armored can deliver devastating blows by punching or charging into objects or Titans which goes well with Jean’s combat effectiveness, Jean also scored 10 in awareness, this awareness could be used along with the Armour on the Armored Titans body to block attacks to protect himself and his allies.
Cart Titan
Connie Springer is the best suited for the Cart Titan, he has been noted as one of the fastest soldiers and is average skill in terms of combat, he has yet to be seen killing a Titan, the Cart Titan is more of a tactical and recon character, is the fastest out of all the Titan powers but is the worst Titan for combat unless equipped with weaponry and armour, so Connie’s speed and lack of engagement in combat earns him the cart Titan.
Anyway what you think? Do you agree with me or do you think there are other soldier better equipped for these Titans? Remember I’m only using characters from Paradise that are in the Survey Corps ignoring the fact wether they’re dead or alive and I’m excluding any of the current and past Titan holders (Eren & Armin) and Ymir, Reiner, Berthold and Annie are all from Marley not Paradise so they don’t count.
