Attack on Titan shows you an Apocalyptic history that once devastated humanity. One day Titans
suddenly appeared over 100 years ago. They devoured everyone in their path and
brought the humanity to near extinction. However there's
far more to this Titan history than you realized from the anime.
This is just one version of events but there’s actually 5 different versions.
If you’re anime-only you’ve only seen one.
Let's pulls back the curtain and unveils the harsh truth.
The Marley version of Titan History. 1820 Years Ago a women named Ymir Fritz existed. Ms Fritz was an ancestor to the people living
inside the Walls. Ymir was the one who made a contact with the
Devil of Earth to gain a special power This was the power of the Titans.
As you can see here this been shown as Ymir in her Titan form.
Later Ymir’s life came to an end after 13 years.
With her death her soul was split into 9 Titans.
These Titans were then used to build the Empire of Eldia.
This new Eldian Empire destroyed Marley Nation that existed and came to rule the
continent. This is the Titan history as told by the Marley
history Books. The Eldian Empire took advantage of the Titan powers to Rule the World. With the Eldian Empire
under control this then lead into the Dark Ages for the world. The humans who gained the power to turn into
titans were known as the subjects of Ymir. They determined all other people and races
were inferior, so naturally they began to heavily oppress them.
The Eldians stole their land and their valuables. They even wiped out cultures, history and in alot of cases
wiped out a huge number of races completely. These Eldians forced these other groups to
have their children to further increase the subjects of Ymir.
This whole ethnic cleansing lasted for 1700 years.
Research showed that the Eldians killed were at least 3x the current world population over
that time period. Once the Eldians ran out of enemies they
turned on another another and began to killed themselves.
Unknown to the Eldians this infighting was going all according to plan.
80 years before Grisha’s time the abused Marley Nation took this opportunity to make
a come back. They plotted against the Eldian Empire from
within and were able to incite a civil war. Marley’s efforts eventually sparked the
Great Titan War The Eldians families who held the 8 Titans,
fought each other in an endless cycle of conspiracy and betrayal.
This caused weakened Eldia empire to suffer heavily and ultimately fall
apart. According to Zeke
the Tybur family who was controlled the WarHammer Titan, was the
first Eldian family to oppose and fight the Eldian King in this war.
Marley’s plan proved to be a huge victory for them.
They came out of the Great Titan War with 7 of the 9 Titans under their control.
For this massive win Marley had to thank one great hero from their nation.
This hero was known as Helos. He was a champion who was a normal human that fought
the titans and helped saved the world.
Helos was responsible for spreading false information within the Eldian
empire. It was what eventually lead to the cause of them killing
each other. Helos was then honored in Marley’s history
and also the World history. There’s even a statue of him within Marley
to celebrate his work. Ultimately the union between Marley, Helos and Tybur Family was
what successfully beat the 145th Eldian King, King
Fritz. As you can might tell from the name, King Fritz,
was ancestor of Ymir Fritz. The defeat in the Great Titan War caused him retreated to
Paradis Island with his Eldian people.
He then built 3 colossal Walls to protect his people.
This are the Walls and people you know from Attack on Titan Season 1.
Unfortunately not all Eldians were able to make it over to the island.
Eldians who remained were abandoned on the continent.
They were pretty much left to suffer to the mercy of the vicarious Marley
Nation. And possibly worse, the whole world thought of
the Eldian people as descants of Devil..
How exactly would the people that once suffered under Eldians treat them back?
Perhaps Marley was mercifully by not immediately killing all of them.
The remaining Eldians were forced into internment zones across the nation.
Here they were required to wear an armband to identify
them as being from the devil race. Sound familiar?
So far all of what you've heard has been Marley version of history. This has
been drilled into every Eldian living in these interment zones. It's pretty much Marley propaganda.
Current Eldians have been told that their ancestors were criminals who engaged in eugenics
and committed mass ethnic cleansing, that the Devil’s blood runs through all
of them. Every single of them. Eldians in these interment zones live in constant
fear of the Marley Nation. Punishment for them means getting throw into
Paradise Island to forever live as a mindless Titan.
On the flip side, the Marley nation has kept themselves as a world power by taking advantage
the Titans they do control. This includes using & abusing the mindless Titans
in wars against other nations. Thanks to this the situation of the current
Eldians has only worsened worldwide. The fear of the Titans used in warfare has
only helped to increase the hatred for them.
The Grisha version of Titan History.
You know Grisha, Eren's father.
Grisha was part of a group known as the Eldian Restorationists with Marley.
An agent undercover within the Marley government helped their group.
Grisha and his group were given access to historical documents that Eldians no longer knew about
in present day, their true history. This is what those documents revealed
Unsurprisingly Marley had been feeding them lies.
Their ancestor Ymir had awakened the power of the Titans.
With her new abilities Ymir used this power to better humanity.
The Titan powers helped cultivate wastelands, build roads & bridges,
and so on. In other words the great Fritz had brought
vast wealth to humanity. In reality she had helped people so much and
even helped to develop the continent. With this new found knowledge Grisha and
his group believed themselves to be Children of God.
Grisha has a done an excellent job translating these documents, except for one problem.
Grisha really hadn’t been translating anything at all.
He didn’t know this ancient language and according to his own words,
“he barely was able to decipher any of it”. What Grisha did was basically look at the pictures
and pretty much made up his own story on the spot. For whatever reason the rest of the group took his word for it and didn't question it.
To further add to this version of Titan History comes an account from Dina Fritz.
Dina was part of the Royal Family branch that stayed on the continent
after the King fled to Paradise island. According to Dina The Great Titan war had
begun when the 145th King inherited the Founding Titan
Until then the Eldian houses that held the other 8 titans were in constant conflict for
generation. The balance was kept in check through the
Royal Family’s Founding Titan but this new 145th king was a pacifist.
He instead chose to abandoned those duties and moved to his people to the remote Island.
According to the intel from the undercover agent within Marley, The King Fritz left this
message to the world “If anyone tries to bother them on that
island, the Tens of millions of Titans within the walls would destroy the world”.
Both the Marly Nation and world believed this message to be true.
The Kruger version of Titan History.
The undercover agent feeding info to the Eldian restorationists was known of as the Owl.
He claims his real name was Eren Kruger. Eren Kruger brings a slightly different version
of Ymir’s History. Their Eldian ancestor Ymir was a girl who
came in contact with the source of all organic matter.
Kruger goes on to question both the Marley version of History and the
version that Grisha made up. This brings us to 3 different versions of
this Ymir ancestor. Did she make a deal with the Devil, a pact
with a God, or simply find some magical Titan Weed?
Perhaps a combination all of them. The Marley propaganda also claimed there was 1700
years of ethnic cleansing. Kruger questioned the validity of this.
If this were true there wouldn’t be a trace of Marley around anywhere. This would also be
true for all the other nations as well. On the flip side Grisha believed that Ymir had brought alot of wealth
to humanity with the power of Titans. Kruger questions this reality as well.
It didn’t sound like any human he ever heard of.
Notably Kruger does double down on one part of the Marley Eldian history. The previous
great Eldia Empire had used mindless titans in the past as
cheap weapons of mass destruction. He also mentioned the fact that the 145th
King made a vow to renounce all War.
This King used the power of the
Founding Titan to manipulate the memories from every
Eldian within the walls.
His people were made to believe that humanity outside the walls had been exterminated.
This walled of nation on Paradise Island represented Utopia for the King.
The Tybur version of Titan History. The final version of Titan history comes from
Willy Tybur, a fairly new player. Willy is currently the head of Tybur family
and also the holder of the WarHammer Titan.
This family is the same family that fight against the King and sparked the Great Titan War.
After the Great Titan War, the Tybur family received a special status within Marley as
Honorable Marleyian. Unlike the other Eldians that were rounded
up in interment zones the Tybur family enjoyed living in large mansions and estates within
Marley.
Until recently they’ve followed a policy of not interfering in politics and war.
In present day, the world knows the Marley Nation as this powerhouse but Willy revealed the truth.
In reality Marley has been under control by the Tybur Family this whole time.
In other words Marley who was once abused by the Eldia Empire, is still
secretly control by another Eldian group, the Tybur Family.
Contrast that to the lie the world sees, with how Marley
is a great power, while the remaining Eldians are inside internment camps. Willy went ahead and talked about how
his family watched as the Eldians caged themselves up on that island.
TheTybur family allowed Marley the freedom to do as they wanted.
This resulted in Marley becoming a military state.
You know about the Great Titan War history as told by Marley to the rest of
the world. Willy proclaimed to everyone that some facts
from this history are actually false.
This is all according to his memories inherited from the WarHammer
Titan. The Great Titan War ended neither by Helos
or the Tybur Family. In reality the man who saved everyone was
King Fritz. The Eldian King was the one who put at end
to the Great Titan War. Before the 145th King inherited the founding titan he deeply regretted
the Eldian Empire’s brutal history.
He was tired of the fighting and ugly wars between families. And most of all his
heart ached for the Marley nation that was under
constant tyranny. After he become King and inherited the founding
Titan he came up with a plan together with the Tybur Family.
He wanted to sacrificed himself and his people to bring an end to the
Eldian Empire. To accomplish this they invented the idea
of a Marleyan savior, Helos. While the Eldian families were busy fighting and killing one
another, the King moved as many people over to Paradise
island and built 3 Colossal walls.
The King threaded that if anyone disturbed their peace he would crush
the world with his millions of Colossal Titans. But really this was not true at all, he
never meant it. The King made a vow to renounce all war.
This was promise was tied to the founding titan and his royal blood.
Any Royal blood succorer would inherit the founding titan, the almighty power to control
all titans, and his vow of peace. The king's ideology kept on being passed down through
generations, which is why Titans weren’t used to fight back against warriors that brought
down Wall Maria. His ultimate goal was peace.
It was so much to the extent that, the king was fine with the Marley nation attacking the
Royal family and taking the founding titan for themselves if they
wanted. In his mind, Eldians and Titan should never
haven’t existed in the first place.
As of the most recent chapter 99, Willy used this newly revealed info to show King Fritz as
a hero of the world, but at the same time declared Eren as the real enemies of the world. After all,
Eren is now in possession of the founding titan, but is not a member of the Royal Family.
