Was Ymir a Titan before she ate Marcel?

Ymir was able to transform herself into the Jaw Titan (顎の巨人 Agito no Kyojin?), a 5-meter Titan. She gained this ability after she ate Marcel Galliard, a Warrior from Marley, in the year 845.

How did Ymir become a Titan before eating Marcel?

As we saw in Ymir flashbacks/past, she was injected as a punishment for pretending to be the queen. After wandering around outside the walls, as a jaw titan for so long, she then ate Marcel (Reiner and Bertolt’s childhood friend) and gained the power of the Jaw titan.

Why did Ymir let herself be eaten?

It has two major reasons : She felt indebted to Reiner and Berthold for saving her and till some extent felt guilty for consuming Marcel.

Why is Ymir’s Titan so weird?

That’s why Ymir’s titan form is different from Marcel or Porco. Ymir was an ordinary girl who didn’t train in the military like Reiner or Annie. Galliard was probably injected with hardening ability, similar way Eren was injected with his hardening ability. And like Pablo mentioned, Ymir was very “Raw” titan.

Why is Porco’s Titan different from Ymir?

Within seconds its jaws pulverize the crystal, shattering it into hundreds of shards. Porco’s Jaw Titan also has a more muscular form that evidently gives it an increase in physical power. All of this amounts to a stronger Titan than Ymir’s version.

Why didnt Marcel transform when YMIR ate him?

When Marcel was attacked by a Titan who wanted to eat him, he could have turned into a Titan to avoid it or at least try to fight back. But he didn’t do it. Also Reiner, Annie, and Bertholdt just ran away instead of transforming and fighting.

Who ate YMIR Jaw Titan?

A few years later Ymir was consumed by Porco Galliard – Marcel’s brother and a fellow Marley warrior – who gained not only the power of the Jaw Titan but also inherited Ymir’s memories.

Who ate Reiner’s friend?

When Ymir ate Reiner’s and Berthold’s friend (who was also a titan shifter), she gained his titan shifting abilities, and was able to return to human form.

Why didn’t Marcel turn in to a Titan?

The only reason he didnt turn in to a titan, just for my opinion. His titan powers are out, his time for being a titan is over, his destiny was to get eaten by Ymir. Marcel knew it had to happen.

How did Ymir get the Jaw Titan?

So Ymir, by eating Marcel, inherited the Jaw titan. Now the thing about the Jaw titan is that it doesn’t really look that much different from a regular small titan. Only real differences are the sharp teeth and nails/claws.

Why did Ymir eat Reiner?

A horrific death in order to pass on the power of the Armoured titan. It’s possible that in pushing Reiner out of the way, and being eaten by Ymir, he was trying to atone for what he had done, so rather than not having time to change into the Jaw titan, he simply let himself be eaten. Plot, I think.

What happened to Ymir?

Ymir died just 13 years after she received her Titan power, which subsequently explains the life-shortening “curse” that every Titan shifter since then has to bear.
