We all know by now that Eren

How does he not remember everything until much later on?

How did Eren lose his memories?


It's because his father made him forget (with the shot).

Historically, the memory inheritance power of Coordinate would only work for
the bloodline of the Reiss royal family.

One of the characteristics of the Coordinate is that its effects are linked to
bloodlines.

The memory manipulation didn't work on several bloodlines that were not among
the common people in the walls,

So by not being a Reiss by birth, the coordinate is more or less dormant on
Eren.

The powers of the Coordinate can be fully awoken by a member of the royal
bloodline (the Reiss family).

Eren is not part of that bloodline. Plus in the anime he is still new to all
this and thus not used to the titan power.

Explained in the Manga, the members of the Reiss family who were passed on the
Coordinate power immediately knew "all the answers" and all the history before
the walls.

Interestingly enough however, after someone obtained this "God ability",
he/she always refused to discuss it. The reason still remains unknown, but I
believe it to be one of the most dramatic points of the series.

Yes. Even though he is not of royal blood and doesn't remember about the
coordinate, but shouldn't he still remember memories from his father as the
attack titan at the very least?

For example, Ymir ― even though she was still a teenager at the time and might
not (or might, I might be wrong on this) have sufficient knowledge on the
actual happenings of Marley and Eldian affairs and plus being a mindless titan
for 60 years ― seems very aware of the current situation and Reiner and
Bertholt's mission after eating Marcel. So, it's still not clear why Eren
doesn't remember anything.
