I remember someone saying (not sure which episode, though probably the same)
that Eren lost his 3D Maneuver Gear after exiting his Titan form. I also
remember seeing that myself, after exiting his titan form every time except
the 2nd time he does (He had no gear on him, then, to begin with). So how was
the girl inside the Female Titan able to have 3D Maneuver Gear on her, as well
as a Survey Corps coat?

Note: I have finished watching the anime, but I have not read the manga.
Please don't post any spoilers for me. Thank you :)

attack-on-titan
In episode 20 of Attack on Titan, how does the Female Titan have 3D Maneuver Gear after regaining human form?


I think it was also stated somewhere that after shifting a few times, it is
possible to control damage done to your clothing. That being said, the Female
Titan has had to shift a few times, so she could take precautions when doing
so.

As [mirroroftruth](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/23553/in-
episode-20-of-attack-on-titan-how-does-the-female-titan-have-3d-gear-after-
re#comment33819_23553) has already kindly linked, it is speculated by Erwin
that someone who is talented with their titan ability may be able to regain
their human form with minimal exhaustion. This means that, with appropriate
planning or fortuitous circumstances at transformation, the controller
(pilot?) could quickly change clothes or equipment using the transformation
itself as cover. This is possibly shown by the Colossal Titan in earlier
episodes:

or by the female titan herself during the carnage of her body being eaten. So
she may not come out of the titan already wearing the 3D-gear, but instead may
have picked up a nearby set.

To be clear, the female titan (Annie) and other titan shifters are not capable
of shifting and not damaging the maneuver gear. In other words, she had the
whole place ready with maneuver gears and was already wearing the coat\jacket
before she shifted. It was also obvious that she managed to sneak in the
Survey Corps because she was already wearing the coat\jacket.
