1. What’s in Eren Jaeger’s cellar?
One of the main driving forces behind the series was the mystery surrounding the contents of Eren Jaeger’s cellar. In the first episode, Eren’s father promises to show him what’s in the basement, but the Titans attack before Grisha can do so. Later, this location becomes an important target for the Exploration Battalion on their expeditions to reclaim the outer wall.
The third season ended with the revelation of what Grisha had been hiding in the basement. What he had hidden there were three books and a photograph of Grisha’s old family. These items revealed that the world of “Attack of the Titans” was not as it seemed, including that there was a functioning human civilization beyond the wall.
2. What are Titans?
Many of the mysteries in “Attack of the Titans” are linked to the true nature of the Titans. This includes the question of their origin and their motivation for feeding on humans. In seasons two and three of the series, all these questions were answered. The answer depicts the Titans as far more tragic creatures than they first seemed.
The Titans are actually the human descendants of the first Primordial Titan, Ymir, who had been transformed into a Titan thanks to a mysterious serum. The main distinction between a Primordial Titan and an ordinary (or “pure”) Titan lies in the fact that Primordial Titans can retain their conscious mind during their transformation. Pure Titans therefore feed on humans in the hope of devouring a Primordial Titan in order to recover their conscious mind.
3. What lies beyond the outer wall
One of the series’ central questions concerns the nature of the world beyond the wall. Many characters, such as Erwin and Armin, even consider the answer to this question their main motivation for joining the Exploration Battalion. Although the series gave many clues to the nature of the world beyond, its true reality was not revealed until the third season.
If Ymir’s flashback in the second season revealed the existence of a functioning civilization beyond the wall, the truth about the outside world was later revealed in Grisha’s journals. Grisha’s writings reveal that the entire series actually takes place on a small island isolated from the rest of the world. The rest of the world is home to fully functioning civilizations, more technologically advanced than those seen inside the wall.
4. How does one become a Primordial Titan?
The biggest plot twist of the first season of “Attack of the Titans” lies in Eren’s ability to transform into a Titan while retaining control of himself. This turn of events drives the main plot of Season 1, as the Exploration Battalion seeks to use Eren’s power to retake the Outer Wall from the Titans. It also sparks a mystery as to the origin of this power.
Although new Primordial Titans were introduced in the second season, the origin of this power was not revealed until the third season. It turns out that each Primordial is a Titan-turned-human who has managed to devour a Primordial Titan’s predecessor, thereby inheriting its memories and powers. In Eren’s case, he acquires his power after devouring Grisha.
The nature of walls
The final mystery of the series answered by the third season of “Attack of the Titans” concerns the nature of the walls that protect humanity from the Titans. The teaser at the end of the first season reveals the presence of an entity similar to the Titan Colossal concealed within these walls. This mystery is then revealed in the second season, when it is discovered that the special brigade has been eliminating people investigating the walls.
The truth about the walls is that they’re actually made of giant Titans capable of solidifying, forming three immense walls. It turns out that these walls were not erected to protect humanity from the Titans, but to keep the inhabitants of Paradise safe from humans seeking to seize the power of the Coordinate.
