Subjects of Ymir are all descendants of Ymir. What differs the so called royal
bloodline from the rest?

In Attack on Titan, what differs royal blooded people from Subjects of Ymir?


That's actually a really good question. I suppose you are talking about how
only the royal bloodline can use the full potential of the Founding Titan. My
theories as a somewhat mediocre fan to solve this apparent plot hole are as
follows:

  1. > It actually doesn't matter from what we have seen in the manga. Eren was able to seize control of the Founding Titan by convincing Ymir, the First Titan, to make her own choice as she was a slave to the will of the royal bloodline since the days of the founding king, Fritz. Hence the royal bloodline wasn't really special. They just had the advantage of manipulating a nigh-omnipotent girl to do their bidding.

  2. The first theory can be shot down when you consider the fact that Zeke's spinal fluid can be used to turn Eldians into pure Titans. Thus perhaps the royal bloodline is special. I'm no geneticist, just a hyperactive high schooler, so what I'm about to propose may be scientifically preposterous. I think because since the royal family is directly descended from Maria, Rose, and Sina, the first humans to eat Titan blood _raw_ I might add, it's possible that there's a higher concentration of the original power in the royal bloodline hence their abilities. How you might ask? They may have taken a page from the Targaryens.

I hope this answer is ok. If I'm wrong somewhere, please correct me.

Plain and Simple,

What we know is that in the Beginning there were Many tribes and Eldia was the
dominant one and it was lead by Master Fritz (A power hungry man). So, one day
he hunted one of his Servants Ymir, for letting of a pig, who ran to the
forest and receives the Titan powers from a Spine like Creature. Seeing that
Ymir would be useful, Fritz made her do all the work of his nation, like
creating Bridges and fighting wars and made her his Concubine and had three
Children. They were Rose, Maria, and Shina (Whose names are the Three walls),
So when Ymir was killed, sacrificing herself for Fritz. Fritz made his three
children eat Ymir dead remains, and kept the Power of Ymir's Titans.
Eventually Eldia Multiplied and prospered with the Help of their Titans and
captured many other countries like Marley, bringing hate on them in the
Future.

So in one sentence the Royal Bloodline are the Children of Ymir and Fritz and
the normal eldians are the ones that were Kings Fritz' subjects and Servants
and other children.

If you think there is something Wrong or if you have other Theories and aswers
please correct me.

Thanks

We don't have an answer for that so far, even with the ending of the manga, it
was never explicit why there is the difference in the royal blood, but I saw a
theory that I think it makes sense (it isn't cannon, merely theory).

Basically, we know that Ymir got eaten by her children after her death, and
the theory supports that 1 of those 3 children, ate the neck part (the most
important human's body part when it comes to titans), and with that, she
gained the original power, getting the power of The Founder Titan.

Once again, it's not confirmed but for me, it gives a reasonable explanation
about it!
