The Ultimate Titan: What Happens When One Titan Devours All Others?

The question of what happens when one Titan consumes all the other Titans is a complex one, steeped in the lore of Attack on Titan. Directly put, if a single Titan were to consume all the Nine Titan Shifters, it would, theoretically, become the embodiment of all Titan powers. This ultimate Titan would inherit the abilities, strengths, and unique characteristics of each of the Nine, resulting in an entity with immense, potentially limitless power. However, this theoretical outcome raises numerous questions about the nature of Titan powers, their limits, and the very fabric of the world within the series.

This hypothetical Titan would not simply possess a collection of abilities. It would potentially achieve a state closer to the original Titan God, Ymir, who, according to the mythology, held all Titan powers before they were divided. The resulting Titan could theoretically manipulate the Coordinate to its fullest potential, control all Pure Titans, and access the memories of all past Titan Shifters, gaining a complete understanding of the world’s history. Such a being would not just be powerful; it would be the ultimate force in the Attack on Titan universe, raising existential questions about the fate of the world and the place of humanity within it.

Understanding Titan Shifter Consumption

Before delving further into the hypothetical scenario, it’s crucial to understand the mechanisms of Titan Shifter consumption and the subsequent power transfer. As seen throughout the manga and anime, when a Pure Titan consumes a Titan Shifter, the Titan Shifter’s spinal fluid is ingested. This action leads to the pure Titan transforming back into human form, and in the process, acquiring the eaten Titan’s ability and the memories associated with the previous holder of that power. This established process suggests that the power transfer is biological and inheritable.

The Potential Implications of Complete Titan Consumption

With this understanding, we can consider the potential implications of a Titan devouring all nine Titan Shifters:

• Ultimate Power Amplification: The most immediate and apparent consequence would be a significant increase in power. This Titan would combine the Attack Titan’s relentless fighting spirit, the Founding Titan’s control over other Titans, the Colossal Titan’s destructive power, the Armored Titan’s defense, the Female Titan’s adaptable skills, the Beast Titan’s long-range attacks, the Jaw Titan’s agility, the Cart Titan’s endurance, and the War Hammer Titan’s ability to create structures.
• Memory Overload: The potential for memory overload is another significant aspect. The Titan would have access to the memories of all previous holders of the Nine Titans. This could lead to an overwhelming deluge of information, potentially altering the Titan’s personality and state of mind. The sheer amount of memories could be confusing or even debilitating for a single consciousness to process.
• Evolution or Degradation?: Such a combination of powers could bring about an evolution of the Titan form or possibly a degradation. It’s not clear whether the combined power would create a single ultimate form or result in a monstrous, unstable entity. Would the Titan maintain a single physical form, or would it be capable of changing forms at will?
• Control and Sanity: Considering the potential for memory overload and the complexity of integrating all nine powers, it raises serious concerns regarding control. Could the Titan even manage to harness the full potential of its powers, or would the overwhelming force prove too much for its mind and body to handle? Would such an individual even be considered the same entity anymore?
• The Potential End of Eldia: If the combined power is utilized effectively, such a being could possibly destroy the world. Such power could end the war with a single stroke but at what cost? What would be the ethical implication of holding such power?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Here are some frequently asked questions related to the concept of Titans and their powers, which further illuminate the complexities involved in such a theoretical situation:

1. Is the Jaw Titan the Weakest?

The Jaw Titan is generally considered one of the physically weakest of the Nine Titans. Its strength lies in its agility and speed, rather than brute power. It is indeed the smallest of the nine and goes through the most significant transformations based on who inhabits the power.

2. How Many Titans Has Eren Eaten?

Eren has consumed three Titan powers throughout the series: the Attack Titan, the Founding Titan, and the War Hammer Titan.

3. Who Is the Strongest Titan?

The Founding Titan is considered the strongest due to its ability to control other Titans. When wielded by someone of Royal Bloodline, the Founding Titan possesses immense and potentially limitless power, making it the most potent Titan.

4. Why Do Titans Eat Humans?

Titans eat humans in the hope of regaining their humanity. They are driven by an instinctive urge to consume Titan Shifter spinal fluid which, if successful, would allow them to revert back to human form.

5. What Happens if a Pure Titan Eats a Human?

If a Pure Titan eats a human, nothing happens in terms of power transfer. Pure titans eat humans in the hopes of eating a titan shifter and regaining their humanity. However, they only succeed in devouring a human being.

6. What if a Male Titan Ate the Female Titan?

If a formerly-male Titan shifter were to consume a female Titan Shifter, he would become a Female Titan Shifter, inheriting all her characteristics. The base form remains unchanged apart from unique traits from the new shifter like hair or facial features.

7. How Do Titans Reproduce?

Titans do not reproduce through biological means. They are created by a mysterious force through injections of Titan spinal fluid to human subjects.

8. What Happens if Eren Eats Zeke?

If Eren were to consume Zeke, a carrier of the Beast Titan with royal blood, Eren would gain control of the Coordinate and be able to use the Founding Titan’s full power, as well as inheriting the Beast Titan’s capabilities.

9. What Happens if Two Titans Eat a Titan Shifter?

If two Titans were to consume a Titan Shifter, the power would likely be divided between them. The ability and traits of the Titan Shifter would be divided as well.

10. What Is a Pure Titan?

Pure Titans are mindless, man-eating beings created by injecting humans with Titan spinal fluid. They range from 2 to 15 meters and are driven by instinct. They are typically controlled by the Founding Titan.

11. What Happens if a Pure Titan Eats a Shifter?

If a Pure Titan eats a Titan Shifter, the power and memories of the Shifter transfer to the Pure Titan. They then transform back into human form and become the new user of that Titan’s power.

12. Why Did Eren Turn Evil?

Eren’s shift to “evil” was a result of witnessing traumatic events, including the death of his mother and numerous allies. His experiences fueled a sense of overwhelming despair and a desperate need for freedom, leading him to more ruthless actions.

13. Why Do the Titans Want Eren?

Titans are driven to find and consume Eren because he possesses the Coordinate, which grants him the authority over other Titans and is integral to the control of the titans themselves.

14. Who Is Stronger, Levi or Eren?

Levi Ackerman is stronger than Eren in terms of pure combat skill, experience, and overall fighting ability. Without his titan form, Eren is no match for Levi’s advanced maneuverability and combat prowess.

15. What Happens if Someone Gets All 9 Titans?

The user of all 9 titans would possess all of the abilities and memories associated with each of the Nine Titans. The user would be able to regenerate from any injuries, and gain access to all memories of previous holders. A pure titan would revert to human form if it somehow obtained all 9 of the powers.

Conclusion

The idea of a single Titan consuming all Nine Titan Shifters presents a fascinating yet terrifying prospect. This hypothetical scenario highlights the immense power and complex nature of Titan abilities, questioning the limits of such power and what it would mean for the universe of Attack on Titan. While we may never see such a being fully realized in the narrative, exploring the potential consequences allows us to delve deeper into the core themes of the story, reminding us of the fine line between power and destruction. The ultimate question is not merely could it happen, but what would it truly mean for everything?
