At the beginning of episode 7 of season 2 (episode 32 on Crunchyroll), around
1:48, the colossal titan eats Ymir and one other person.

[![Two people being eaten by a

You can't see their face in any part of the episode.

Given who the colossal titan is, it seems strange to me that he would have
eaten someone without a purpose, but only Ymir is seen later.

Eventually, they run off on the armoured titans back and the second person is
not with them.

Surely they could not have been digested in the short time the colossal titan
was present, and they were swallowed whole.

Later on, when we see them in human form in the giant forest, no one besides
Eren and Ymir are with them. Do we know who this person was?

Who was the other person the colossal titan ate?


This was an unnamed, unlucky poor individual who was at the wrong place at the
wrong time. If you watch [this Youtube](https://youtu.be/go3KVXM-fgg?t=19)
video, they aren't entirely sure who the Colossal Titan ate either.

Also, while reading [this
reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/attackontitan/comments/6gwxm6/does_anyone_know_who_the_second_person_the/)
post, people say the Colossal Titan ate him to steal his ODM Gear

This is confirmed by seeing the Colossal Titan wearing the ODM gear in it's
human form in the [scene](https://youtu.be/kZGBY8v-GGU?t=29) when they were
camping out in the forest

The other soldier that Bertoldt ate along with Ymir was killed and used by
Bertholdt for the soldier's 3DMG to help Reiner and Bertoldt escape with Eren
and Ymir in tow.

Here is Armin explaining it to Mikasa in chapter 45 of the manga: [Attack on
Titan chapter 45 page 24](https://i.stack.imgur.com/zSUHk.jpg)

(Note: While I have seen the Attack on Titan anime, I prefer the manga version
of the series so my answer is based on the manga version of the events as
opposed to the anime. But it doesn't really make a difference here because
season 2 of the series did a a fantastic job of keeping most things exactly
like they happened in the manga.)!

I suppose since Ymir is

> the jaw titan

he wouldn't eat her, which is why she is seen later. Supposedly he put them in
his mouth for safe-keeping. Maybe that other soldier was grabbed by accident.

I think the other person that the Colossal Titan ate was ( **spoiler alert**
for season 2's ending)
