Hange cut the neck of one titan to explore inside. Why couldn't she find out
the main human body inside???

Maybe the main body was hidden quite deep so it was difficult to see. But if
it was hidden quite deep, then how can Levi and other soldiers cut down the
neck and kill the titan.

Is this a logical flaw in AOT?

Why the Survey Corps doesn't find a human body inside normal titan?


It is not a flaw and explained in later chapters. I will give a spoilered
explanation, exhibiting SOME of the information. A full disclosure would take
much of the fun out of AOT in my opinion.

There are 2 types of Titan. "Generic Titan" (including abnormal types) and
shapeshifter Titan (humans who can transform into Titan.

The ones with humans inside are the Titan shifters, like Eren.

The ones without humans inside are the generic Titans.

The titans you are talking about are generic titans, which are different from
Shape-shifting titans. Generic titans transformed permanently into titans.
Their human bodies no longer exist. They can't transform back into humans. If
you cut their nape, they are dead, once and for all.

This is different than titan shifters such Eren, because when they transform,
they build a titan body around their human body. The human body acts as a
center of control for the titan body. They can _power down_ , whenever they
want. They have inherited the Titan shifting power. That's why, if you cut the
nape of a shifter, you'll find the human sitting there. And until you
hurt/kill that human, they can transform again.
