Above anon, about Ape Titan and MP.

Aaah, I didn't really explain that one, did I. Also upon rereading it does look less like Titan healing and more like he just wasn't hurt at all. It also doesn't make a lot of sense for him to be a Titan if he was around when Levi was little(r) and he's supposed to have given his surname not only to Levi but also to Mikasa's parents. The connection there is so mysterious. So now I'm beginning to think Kanye-man is just a pawn.

The connection I made was that the Ape Titan took Mike's 3dmg with the obvious intention of studying it, and some chapters later the MP appears with a version of 3dmg especially studied to be used against humans. It might be a coincidence, but it might also not be.

My current operative theory: the Titan shifters have a huge plan that has been in the works for probably the entire time humans lived within the Walls, but was set in motion only recently. A Titan shifter was sent to live within the Walls, probably very early on, possibly at the exact same time the humans settled within it, to make sure that when the plan was set in motion nobody with power within the Walls would be in the way. They formed a series of very solid connections, to the point that by now they probably have enough power to move the MP like a bunch of puppets. I'm not sure any of the higher ups actually knows this person is a Titan shifter and an enemy, and if they knew this person might be promising stuff like protection and help. This person isn't our friend Kanye nor the King himself, but it might turn out to be somebody we've already met.

I also sort of have a bigger theory about what this Titan shifters's plan might be but I have ranted enough.
