History of Founding Titan

Ymir was the first owner of the Founding Titan, long before Eren. He got it when he accidentally slipped and fell into an underground water source.

At that time, she touched a mysterious creature that had a spine-like shape. The mysterious creature then attached itself to Ymir's back and triggered the first Titan transformation.

After gaining new powers, Ymir, who previously lived in the forest, returned to build villages, bridges, and serve King Fritz.

Also on Fritz's orders, Ymir managed to destroy Eldia's rival, Marley. As a reward, Fritz made her his concubine and they had three children, Maria, Rose, and Sheena.

After serving for 13 years, Ymir died while trying to thwart a plot to assassinate the king. To prevent the Titan legacy from disappearing, Fritz ordered his son to eat Ymir's body.

As time went by, the 145th heir to the throne, Karl Fritz, moved the capital to Paradis Island. There, he transformed many of the inhabitants with the power of the Founding Titan into the Colossus Titan and planted them on the walls.

Without the Founding Titan, the Great Titan War continued. This resulted in Eldia losing all of its territory to Marley and forcing them to live within the walls.

King Fritz then used the Founding Titan to erase almost all of the population's memories and make them believe that the Eldian nation was the only one left.

Afterwards, King Fritz then passed on this power to his successors from generation to generation, who are now known as the Reiss family.

Eren's Founding Titan Power

The Founding Titan can activate its power by shouting. However, this shout does not always have to be loud as Frieda Reiss (one of the inheritors) can use the memory manipulation ability just by talking normally.

What other powers does the Founding Titan have? Let's take a look at the list of powers and a brief explanation below.

Making Titan

The Founding Titan can create other Titans by transforming humans who have previously been marked as Subjects of Ymir. Not only the regular size, its owner can also create new Titans as big as the Colossus Titans embedded in the walls.

Zeke Yeager's Beast Titan can also transform Ymir's Subjects into Titans by injecting them with its spinal fluid. To activate its effect, Zeke just need to shout.

Controlling Titan

In addition to creating, the Founding Titan has the ability to control other Titans at will. This is seen when Eren accidentally gives the Pure Titan the command to attack the Armored Titan.

In ancient times, Eldia used this ability to command the Titan troops in war and made them a very deadly weapon.

It is not yet known how powerful its influence is, but Rod Reiss once claimed that this power could destroy all Titans if it reached full power.

Memory Manipulation

Eren's next Founding Titan power is to manipulate the minds and memories of Subjects of Ymir, even the entire human population at one time.

Karl Fritz once used this memory manipulation ability to change the memories of his people before the three walls were built.

Besides Karl Fritz, another heiress, Frieda Reiss, also used this power to erase Historia's memories every time she visited her.

Manipulating Body Anatomy

In addition to manipulating a person's memories, the Founding Titan also has the ability to change the body composition or anatomy of all Ymir Subjects.

An Eldian king from 600 years ago once used this ability to make test subjects immune to an epidemic.

In addition, the Founding Titan's height is 13 meters. However, its size later changed when Eren managed to use the power of the Founding Titan to its full potential.

Communication Through Telepathy

The Founding Titan can connect with all Subjects of Ymir through telepathic powers. Eren uses it to communicate with all Subjects of Ymir when announcing the Rumbling plan.

Connected to the Past and the Future

Similar to the Attack Titan's abilities, the Founding Titan can receive future memories from future inheritors.

In addition to receiving memories, the Founding Titan can also directly influence things that happened in the past and see the past, present, and future simultaneously.

The downside to this ability is that the user is forced to follow the flow of memories they have seen. Even if the user does not want to do so.

Eren once talked about this to Armin, where he saw himself influencing Dina Fritz's Pure Titan to ignore Bertolt and head to Shiganshina. Indirectly, this led to the death of Eren's mother.
