So in the new episode, we see Eren's real Titan form. He was a small titan so
I was just curious if there's any correlation between the age and the size of
the Titan someone would turn into?

Is a Titan's size based on age?


Colossal Titan is much much bigger than the Armored Titan, yet both of them
are of the same or at least similar age.

As another comparison, Jaw Titan is of the same if not older age than Eren yet
much much smaller.

So there is no relationship between their age and their size.

Another example Connie's mother. Despite being old, she didn't turn into a
huge titan. In fact she only became a small titan.

In episode 38, released on July 23, 2018 we are shown Eren to be transforming,
not very successfully, into a titan as experiments directed by Hange. I do not
recall if in the anime this was said, as this part was truncated from how it
appeared in the manga, but what happened is that Hange told him to transform
many times in succession, and as he got more and more tired from transforming,
the titan he produced became smaller and less fully formed. Therefore, I think
the explanation for the child titan is that as a child, he does not have the
stamina of an adult, and not able to produce his full adult titan form, and
not that titans somehow grow with age.

Indeed, as others have mentioned, there seems to be no other correlation of
size and age, given that Bernholdt, Reiner, Annie, and Eren are all relatively
close in age, and their titans tend to be of various sizes, whereas Connie's
mother is significantly older than they, and she became a relatively small and
unformed titan.
