In _Attack on Titan_ , Rod Reiss becomes a disgusting abnormal.

By some research, I found out that the reason for his large form was that he
took the serum in the wrong way, i.e., he licked it. Later in the episode, we
see that Eren also takes the Armor Serum by breaking the vial by his teeth and
taking the serum via his mouth - which is again the wrong way.

Then why didn't Eren become abnormal like Rod Reiss?

Why didn't Eren become an abnormal titan while taking the Armor serum?


My guess is that the Serum only allows improvement of a titan's abilities,
just as how Grisha was able to have 2 Titan powers without turning to an
abnormal titan and still keep his original titan form.

It's unlikely the reason his titan was so big was because of the wrongful
injection of the serum. The serum is called "Strongest Titan" so it's likely
that's the reason why its so big.

First of all, Eren was a titan shifter, so he cant go abnormal after being
shifter (i believe).

Second of all, we dont know exactly if the power injection Eren uses are
turning people into titans.

And third, Rod Reiss mentioned he cannot enherit Founding titan, that's why he
was forcing Historia into doing it - we can assume he knew he will become
abnormal after injection. So there's something special about reiss that makes
him abnormal, diferent from other people like Eren or Historia.

But how did he know that? Why he became abnormal? We can't tell right now.
Well, there's a lot of mystery around Abnormal titans and it's not yet
explained. We only know some titans are more intelligent or behave in
different ways or are looking very different.

There's wiki article stating that titan shifters are abnormal too. So its
possible that abnormals cant become titan shifters (cant become "double
abnormals"). So Rod knew somehow he will turn abnormal and won't be able to
enherit titan power.
