This video explains every Attack Titan in the Attack on Titan anime and manga. The Attack Titan is one of 9 titan shifters in AOT and there have been several iterations of it throughout the series. In the AOT manga we have currently seen more Attack titans than in the anime, which has had 3 Attack Titans so far (Eren Kruger, Grisha Yeager, Eren Yeager). The manga displays Attack Titans of the past, some of which have interesting designs. This video will explain the backstory of all Attack Titans (that we know of) and also commentate on the designs of the ancient titans.

The Attack has a unique history when compared to the other shifters.

Attack titan vs founding titan

In this video I’m gonna explain every Attack Titan in the history of attack on titan, ranging from nearly 2000 years ago all the way up till the present day of the series. The Attack Titan has a unique history. Not only is it possessed by Eren Yeager who is the main character, but this titan has historically been held by people seeking freedom. The original Japanese title for Attack on Titan is shingeki no kiyojin, which is also the name of the Attack titan. This means the series is named after this titan shifter specifically.

The first attack titan on this list is Eren Kruger. Eren Krugers father decided to join the eldian restorationists but Eren himself just being a regular eldian child who was born in Marley. After Eren Kruger's family was killed by Marley, Kruger swore that one day he would get revenge and restore Eldian empire. The first step in his plan would begin years later, when he met a doctor living in Marley, who was secretly an eldian. They helped Kruger to falsify his medical records and in the process Eren was then able to pretend to be a Marlyean. Kruger used his new Marlyean status to join the Marlyean public security authority. In the year 817, Grisha and Faye Yaeger left the Liberio internment zone to try and see an airship but Krueger noticed them and asked for their exit permits. Two years after that incident, Eren Krueger would inherit the attack titan. Using an alias known as the owl, he founded a new underground restorationist movement, with eldians being recruited all across Liberio. Given that Krueger worked with the Marlyean authorities, he had secret info that he would filter down to the new eldian restorationists. On one occasion he sent Grice to recruit Grisha to the organisation. Kruger had a high ranking position within Marley by his adulthood and planned to use his authority to pull some strings and ensure Zeke became a warrior, however the kid betrayed the restorationists and had Grisha sent to Paradis (along with the others). The Owl revealed his identity and passed the attack titan to grisha.

The next ATTACK TITAN is Grisha Yaeger. Grisha had always suspected that Faye’s Yeager’s death was suspicious and because Eren Kruger was colleagues with the guy that killed her, he had always known the truth. When Grisha found out what really happened to his sister he vowed to destroy Marley and restore eldia. When Dina Fritz joined the group, it was Grisha that suggested the plan to take the founding titan from paradis island and return it to the true royal family. After they had Zeke, Grisha made the terrible mistake of treating the boy as a tool rather than a son and he was so focused on his goal of restoring eldia, that he never made time to be a real father. By indoctrinating Zeke to become the saviour of Eldia, he inadvertently made the same mistake that his own father did and paid the price by being sent to Paradis. Having then received the power of the attack titan from Kruger, he was able to run towards the walls and was eventually picked by Keith Shadis, who at the time was a young member of the survey corps. Despite his mission to retake the founding titan, Grisha made sure not to repeat the same mistakes he made with Zeke and he spent quality time with Eren whenever he got the chance, allowing the child to just be himself. On one occasion Grisha stole a map that lead to the address of the Reiss chapel.

The attack titan has a special ability, which is future memory inheritance. Grisha Yeager described it as the ability to know the future and we first saw this power on display during season 3.
