Attack on Titan is currently updated to Episode 80, and the plot of this episode is also very important, revealing to us the source of the giant's power, all related to bugs! Do you remember the title of the first episode of the first season of Attack on Titan? "You since two thousand years later", and the title of this episode corresponds to "You since two thousand years ago".
Since you two thousand years ago
"Since two thousand years ago, you" refers to the archaeopteryx giant Yumir, who reveals her situation, two thousand years ago, Yumir was once an ordinary girl in the village, because the village was attacked, causing her to be taken away as a slave, when they became slaves, they would be cut off their tongues and unable to speak, and Yumir seemed to have no name at that time, and later this name was given to her by King Fritz.
One day a pig was lost in the tribe, king Fritz asked who let it go, if you don't say it, you will goug out one of the eyes of all the slaves, this is the moment to show human nature, all the slaves blamed Yumir, making her a pot man, it seems that Yumir is usually bullied in the tribe, and everyone does not pity her!
And Yumir saw the stenchy faces of this group of people, plus his tongue had long been cut, there was no way to justify, he could only kneel in front of King Fritz to "confess his guilt", and then King Fritz let Yumir go, saying that he was free for Yumir, in fact, he was hunting alive, that is, chasing and shooting Yumir as a prey!
Yumir escapes in the forest, King Fritz chases her after her on horseback and archery, the fun of the nobles is so foul-smelling, like to take people's lives, and Yumir can get the power of giants, which is also caused by this escape!
Archaeopteryx Yumir
When Yumir was seriously injured, he saw a towering tree, and there was a tree hole under the tree, when Yumir went straight in, there was a huge pit in the tree hole, and below it was a deep pool, Yumir accidentally fell down, the whole person was immersed in the water, and then found a glowing bug in the water!
This is a soft worm like a polypod, we call it a grotesque worm, the grotesque worm when it sees Yumir, runs to her, treats Yumir as a parasite, and lives directly in Yumir's bone marrow.
After fusing with the grotesque worm, Yumir gained the power of the giant and directly transformed into the Archaeopteryx, which is the origin of the Archaeopteryx giant Yumir, all related to this glowing bug!
After Yumir transformed into the Archaeopteryx, King Fritz saw her strength, so he gave her the name of Yumir and married Yumir as his wife, but for King Fritz, Yumir was always his slave and a tool for his conquest of the world, and from then on King Fritz used Yumir and began to ravage Marais.
As for the subsequent nine giants, they are all extended from the archaeopteryx giant Yumir, when someone assassinated King Fritz, Yumir took a bento in order to protect him, and then King Fritz let his children eat Yumir, so that the heirs gained the power of giants, that is, the nine giants that everyone saw.
The above is the source of the giant power introduced in episode 80, everything is related to the grotesque worm, this worm is not as simple as you think, the follow-up plot it will come out to do evil, specifically wait for the follow-up broadcast to be there to talk about!
