*from another forum*

Here's the thing, I've got a theory for a while now. I find it VERY hard that I am wrong about this. Spoilers follow, naturally.

About the humans inside the wall? Remember that Eren kept saying at the beginning that they're cattle? I think that's what they are. Cattle.

They are encased in the walls to reproduce. Why? To make giants. My guess is that there is someone out there wanting an army of titans. And to that end they've put community of humans, so that they can grow in numbers and then someone can come and turn then into giants. The Ape Giant is the one doing the "giantification". That is the reason people in Connie's village were turned into giants. It is also the reason why the walls are made of Them. It is ALL an experiment.

And now, let's get some things out of the way:

Eren's father: My guess is that he is a supervisor for the project OR that he's a scientist turned rogue. Reason: Apparently he suddenly appeared in Eren's town:

Ymir: I THINK Ymir was a high-ranked person in the society that is turning people into giants(which is also the reason she can read in another language). She, however, did not approve of the experiments. So she was cast out and was turned into a giant "for the happiness of a great many people". THAT is the reason she wanted to meet Christa/Historia. They are, in a way very similar.

Reiner and Bertholdt: Here's my guess. They are from another community of humans that got turned into giants and they, one day "woke up" and managed to control their giant powers. They want to end these experiments by killing all the humans before they get turned into giants. Hence, the reason why they broke Wall Maria. Proof? There are two. Small ones.

And, finally, the most relevant proof:JUST AFTER it was discovered that there is no breach, Reiner and Bertholdt are saying that there is no need to break the walls anymore? Why is that? I'll tell you why, my friends. Because things already went to hell. People already started turning into giants and there is nothing they can do about it. The only thing they want is to Eren to follow then and to help them break other walls in other places(and maybe help them get their home town back from the giants). I think they think that Eren is also from the outside world like them(because he's a giantshifter too), but I'm not sure.

Annie: I have no idea. My guess is that she's also from the outside world and someday she bumped into Reiner and joined his cause.

The Giantification: Ok, the biggest thing here is motive. Why turn humans into giants? I have no idea, to be honest. I DO think, however, that the people turning humans into giants ARE humans. Here are my guesses:
#1: They want an army because they are in war with another country that also uses giants(which is why giants eat humans).
#2: They want an army to defeat another type of enemy that is hugely powerful.

Yeah, those were my guesses. Another reason for giants to eat humans are to keep them inside the walls, btw.

And what's the reason for Titans being less active at night? The Titan inside the wall was immediately covered up since he was being exposed to sunlight and the preacher warned them that he might not continue being dormant (I think)

So, what do you guys think?

I have a different interpretation. Nice theory regardless.

Your theory is really great, I'm getting a feeling that the titan were humans, probably humans themselves created titans but who knows :rolleyes: ......spoiler if u remember when connie when to his village there was a titan lying on top of a house who said "ohh ur back" and connie said that the titan herself reminded herself of her mother.....hmm I wonder what happed to her :p, it sucks that I have to wait a month for a new chapter, next chapter pretty much raps up the story behind reineer and berthold

The ape Titan is the wildcard imo. He can speak English, but he didn't know about the 3d gear which seems weird. More than sure he's the one going around, turning folks into titans.
