Is Annie now confirmed dead in Attack on Titan?
So what's up guys Foxen here!
Today's hot topic come from the latest Attack on Titan chapter 102.
Has this confirmed Annie's death?
And I don't think it's too hard to see why this is coming up again.
In this chapter so far you've seen most of the Survey Corps with their updated look,
except Levi.
He's like a vampire.
There's a couple people missing including Annie, so Annie dead since she's not with
them?
A good part of the reason why this is being brought has to do with the War Hammer Titan.
Specifically Willy's Tybur Sister was able to control the WarHammer while being crystalized
herself.
The fact that the Tybur Sister's crystal resembles Annie's crystal situation really makes it
no surprise that everyone again is wondering about Annie.
So let's delve into it!
Attack on Titan theory time.
The way I see it there's a few parts to this.
The first quick question, is Annie confirmed dead?
or more specifically, has Eren eaten Annie?
I've also seen some people hope for Hange or the potato girl Sasha to get it.
Maybe that's something you want!
And chapter 102 of AoT does have evidence for this.
First off you should notice the WarHammer Titan, there's a couple important parts about
thing.
For this video let's set aside the fact that she was controlling her titan outside of the
WarHammer.
That's likely something unique only to it.
The part to notice here is that a different titan shifter was able to go into a crystalized
form so this should confirm that it's not something unique to Annie.
In fact I wouldn't be surprise if every Titan shifter was able to do something similar.
Perhaps it just requires enough training.
Perhaps every titan is capable of getting hard even Eren.
Another important part about this was how Willy's sister was still conscious inside
of this thing.
I have mentioned before how Annie could have made it so the crystal would have gone away
after X amount of time.
At the time this happened at the end of season 1 this whole crystal move seemed like a last
ditch effort way for Annie to protect herself.
The idea being here that after certain days, weeks, maybe years, Annie's crystal would
break on it's own and free her.
Of course thing bring ups alot of possible issues.
Part of the problem for Annie's plan might have been the fact that they put her crystal
underground.
So far you've seen a strong connection between Titans and sunlight but that's a different
topic.
Let me touch on this on a separate theory video.
A third key take away from the War Hammer crystal was just it confirms how the crystal
and titan shifter inside of it are still in this titan mode.
The crystal it part of the titan itself.
There was this question about whether Annie killed herself by going inside of the crystal.
The idea behind this being that a titan shifter had this counter measure in case they were
caught.
In would prevent the enemy from getting any info out of them and also possibly preventing
the titan shifter powers from being stolen.
But anyway most of this point towards Annie being very much alive, but there is one scene
that changes all of this.
And I'm talking about the scene where Eren was trying to eat the Warhammer.
Eren didn't hesitate at all to try to eat that thing.
If Eren did this then she'd get her powers so 3 titans inside of him.
The important part here is that Eren already knew that he was able to eat the crystalized
Tybur sister without any problems.
In other words perhaps Eren already had experience doing this.
You see where I'm going with this, has Eren had practice eating Annie before?
This is where all the speculation comes from that Eren has eat Annie and being the sexiest
titan around.
To add to this some people think Eren does have the female Titan's power of hardening
unique locations on her body.
The scene that people point towards is where Mr. Jaws was trying to bite Eren's neck.
I did think this too when I first read it until I saw Levi.
I really do think it comes down to Levi cutting its jaw.
Eren didn't get hard at all!
At least that's how I see it.
A different fact for Annie being dead is the lack of Hange in this chapter.
Why is Hange missing?
Could it be that next time you see Hange her eye is all healed up?
That's right!
A popular idea going around is that Hange ate the female titan.
I'm sure you could think of alot of reasons why this would be a bad idea.
And personally I think Hange would jump at the idea to become a Titan herself, if only
it didn't come with that nasty death penalty.
That's no good.
A point in favor of this being true is that who knows how many of the scouts and people
on Paradise island will even be alive after whole war is over.
I really wouldn't put it past it for Hange to sacrifice herself for the cause.
And I'm sure you've seen it already.
As of the latest chapter these guys need all the help they could get, but let me know what
you think.
Do you buy this specific idea?
In Hange the new female Titan?
Anyway, when I first read this latest AoT chapter I did get some hints towards what
happened to Annie but I did it in a very different way.
I don't think it's out of the question that Eren has tried to eat Annie out of her crystal
in the past.
In fact I could image all the experiments Hange has been up to with Annie in her dungeon.
Recall back when Hange had Eren do all of those Titan experiments?
Biting the crystal and trying to smash it after getting hard are two things Hange should
have at least tried.
And who knows perhaps she also got the Colossal Armin to step on it.
The possible here is that Eren was trying to swallow the war Hammer crystal without
actually breaking it.
As far as you know about transferring the shifter powers Eren would have actually had
to get taste of her body otherwise it wouldn't have worked.
And just a quick side note, what would have happened if the jaws titan didn't show up?
I see 2 possibilities.
Either Eren would have swallowed her like a pill and tried to escape.
The war hammer crystal would have stayed inside of his stomach.
Or the worse option for Eren is that he would have exploded the war hammer shifted a second
time.
It would have been very similar to when Eren himself turned into a Titan the 1st time.
Yeah like the poor Santa Claus Titan.
But back to Annie I see the war hammer titan able to shift while in crystal as another
hint.
You saw how the Tybur sister did have her eyes closed at the beginning.
Then she opened them before becoming the war hammer again.
I think this heavily suggests Annie being able to do the same.
I mentioned before how Annie could have set it so the crystal broke own its own weeks
or months later.
A different possibility could have been Annie still technically being in this Titan state.
This means that Annie was still very much conscious.
Annie would have then been waiting for the right moment when Hange or the scouts stepped
out and tried to made her escape.
Whether Annie succeeded in escaping or managed to come up with some type of truce with them
is a different question.
That's a topic for next time!
But hey that's an AoT theory.
More important is what you think!
Question of the day: Do you think all of this confirms Annie being
dead?
Did Eren eat Annie and become the sexy Titan?
Or does this strong suggest that Annie is alive?
Has the sleeping beauty woken up yet?
