Shingeki no Kyojin Theory, Entire plot explained. (2024)

+9

After rereading some of the chapters, I have finally came up with a fullproof theory that explains all the characters motives, including the Shifters.

The Main Villain is the King of Wall Sina.

Yes you heard me right. Hanji mentions that "The Monarchy was the authority that gave the Wall Cult complete control regarding matters over the Wall". Isn't it strange that the Monarchy would give complete control over to a religious cult instead of it's military?

Also note that it has been mentioned in the brief explanations of background information in the manga and anime that "Wall Sina is located on an abundance of natural resources and that all rivers flow towards it". The King of the Walls is obviously hording the depleting resources away from the rest of mankind

Distribution of Technology

The closer you get to the inner palace, the more high tech the world seems to get. This does not happen normally. Also note that in the background information its mention that "mankind had lost decades of technological advancement due to the Titans". Not only is the Kind hoarding resources, but he is also hoarding the technology

Final proof is the feat of 3DMG Gear, the blades are the only known material able to cut through Titan flesh. Also it's describe as IMPOSSIBLY LIGHT, JUST LIKE THE TITANS. Not to mention the fact that the crystal diamond annie made is exactly the same material as the WALL.

Titans are Artificially created by the Monarchy as a form of power control.

The fact that Titans are aritifical creatures should not come as a suprise to anyone. Eren's dad was a doctor and a scientiest, and was hinted at being quite a famous person. Therefore, he most likely used to work for The Monarchy as a Titan Creator but had a change of heart. This most likely refers to the action that Hannes feels indebted to him for. He might have saved Hannes from a terrible fate of becoming a Titan, even though Hannes probably just though he saved his life from the Titans/imprisonment. To repent for his mistakes, he gave Eren his titan power to redeem Mankind and to fight the Monarchy.

Other Facts are that Titans are not natural creatures. They do not eat normally, yet they devour humans. No creatures evolve to do useless things like that. They were definitely created by mankind.

Titan Shifter Motivations

The Titan Shifters are family members and government agents that went rogue to combat the Monarchy. Some of them recently like Eren's dad, and the others much older like Ymir and the rest.
This explains why the Titans are trying to invade the Walled Humans. Because they are trying to stop the King. The Shifters do not like killing humans. None of them seem to enjoy it, yet they still seem to resent the military. Like how Annie ruthlessly killed the scouting legion but looked grief stroken when she accidentally killed civilians.

Further proof is stated when bertholt says, "they are doing what they must" and Reiner says "Eren is the worst person to have the power to control Titans". That is because the regular Titans are just the victims, turned into Monsters by the King and his Monarhcy. Eren and Reiner hate each other now, but that isn't a statement to take lightly. He said he's "literally the worst person to have that power". The only possible explanation is because Eren wants to Massacre the Titans. Reiner and Bertolt most likely want to capture Eren so he can use his power to help the titan's control their urges to eat humans and help defeat the King.

Ymir is respected because she was able to reverse her process of becoming a "Insane Titan". Most likely once a human completely integrates with a Titan body, there usually is no going back. Yet she was able to accomplish this even after losing her mind. This is most likely why The speak Titan was praising Ymir's name when it mistook Ilse Langner as Ymir since they looked similar. This also explains the Ape Titan. Most likely he is a Titan that was able to retain it's humanity despite becoming integrated with it's form. The reason why Reiner and Bertholt were staring in awe at it; because they are both all to familiar with the madness being a titan most likely causes.

Furthermore, this theory explains the "grave sin" Annie's father committed, and why he gave her a hard upbringing. If he continued being a lapdog of the King, Annie would have grown up as a pretty girl just worrying about what dress to wear on Sunday. However since he decided on fighting back, he knew he condemned his beloved daughter to a life of Strife and Conflict. And the only realistic way to fightback would be to give his daughter the power of the Titans.

That's right no plot holes, all motivations explained. You are all Welcome. The catbox is revealed.

I think you're missing the part on "How does a human become a titan?"

I also thought that the sudden appearance of the Titans are just a conspiracy by the monarchy because it became to obvious on the "Defending of Trost" arc. Back when Irvin said to Eren that "Who do you think is the real enemy?", i gave it a really deep thought. The possibility is really high that the cause of the Titan outbreak was caused by the Government itself.

However a part of me is kinda disappointed. If this theory is really true, I would not watch or read it again cause its plain boring. Because the story would be like "Oppressors VS the Oppressed." If that's the case, I'll just read Akame ga Kiru. BTW, I recommend that to anyone who likes Action, Thrill, Fantasy and Oppressors VS the Oppressed kind of story. If your wondering why I think Akame ga Kiru is better? Just read it. You won't be disappointed. ;D

No offence but I think you've got this theory from a forumer in MAL. Copyright Infringement!!

Anyway, I heard that Isayama's thinking about of changing the ending of the story. If that is true, then this theory will be no longer valid.

The reading dealt pain right in my arse but endured because the subject caught my attention.

So the rumors were true haha. SnK is becoming an eff up.

but I doubt it. The anime overall was real good sh*t. I wanted give the manga a read but I didn't last long since the anime had no errors showing off every detail the manga had (please do correct me. it helps) and that I want to enjoy it on animation.

I sure still do believe SnK has a few tricks up on their sleeves. (sleeves. yep plural. because they never run out of real entertainment. boom.)

To add: Do you have sources for this or you just made them all up?

UP!

I was actually thinking of this... where titans came from? it's like they're appearing anywhere beyond the wall... that's the big question...

But this theories are convincing, it would bring realizations for the viewers especially the SNK fans :)

hmm.. it's still a big mystery until today. I can't even get a thinking for it except for:
1. if titans' were made for power, then its means of killing people is to show proof to others how scary they were, and for the mankind to bow down before them, or to those using them.
2. if the technology is really depleted on that point, then the higher-ups were looking for a monopoly
3. if eren would realize what's with the titan shifter's reason of fighting, hope he'll realize why his father gave him the same ability.
4. it could be possible that the wall was made to discard the titans that the humans were created, and to proof the monopoly of technology. the very center is the highest amongst all, and the lowest will be the first to fall.

okay, that's just what I thought. though I haven't read the manga yet.

anyway, if the theories were like that, then they're really looking for a revolution. suits much of it's topic.
