The latest chapter of Attack on Titan / Shingeki no Kyojin revealed information about the nature of the titan power and its limitations. In the upcoming issue, it is expected that Kruger will provide more details about the nine titans and probably their respective name and abilities. The attack continues in chapter 89 of Attack on Titan.
Warning: Potential Spoilers - 4 Questions Leading up to Chapter 89
What's the name of the titan passed down by Kruger / Owl to Grisha and then Eren?
In the last page of Chapter 88: Shingeki no Kyojin, Kruger was about to tell Grisha the name of his titan. He says the titan seeks freedom no matter what the age of its host.
Grisha until the point of his death exhibits that drive when he acquired the progenitor titan's power from the Reiss despite the perils of infiltrating the Royal Family's domain. Same could be said to Eren, who always wants to go beyond the wall and experience life outside the cage. It's one of the nine titan powers which will be further explained in the preceding chapters.
What and Where are the nine titan powers?
So far, six of the nine titan powers have been introduced in the story. We have the Rogue Titan (whose original name will be revealed by Kruger soon), the Colossal Titan (Bertholt and now Armin), the Armored Titan (Reiner), the Female Titan (Annie), the Dancing Titan (Ymir), and the Monkey/ Ape Titan (Zeke).
It's still not confirmed if Frieda Reiss' titan and the quadrupedal titan belongs to the nine titan powers passed down by Ymir Fritz, so let's leave the number to six for now. Taking all that into account, there should be at least three more titans yet to be revealed.
The 9 Eldian Clans and the Great East Sea Clan?
I'm never going to get tired asking what kind of people are those coming from the Great East Sea clan? Are these Asians, the origin of Mikasa Ackerman's oriental ancestors? Moreover, how big of an impact they are going to have in future battles to come, particularly the never-ending battle of attrition between Eldia and Marley.
Another mind-boggling question that needs to be answered soon is the identity of the nine Eldian clans. Chapter 88 revealed a shifter can only harness the full power of his titan if he's compatible with it. It's unknown if the Marleys are aware of this compatibility nature of the titan power.
When Chapter 89 will be released?
Chapter 89 of Shingeki no Kyojin / Attack on Titan will be released in the February issue of Bessatsu Monthly Shonen Magazine (Kodansha) on January 9.
