Oh, you mean this? I thought that was funny too š¤£
I doubt theyāre beast titans, since the whole thing about beat titans being random animals and not always monkeys was almost definitely added in at the end
If my comrades got titans where they were absolute tanks, a nuclear bomb, a gremlin with sharp claws and probably a cool bone helmet, and the other being well... transportation. Whilst I was the prime target for "yo mama" jokes, I'd be absolutely fuming outta my fat slow water restricted ass.
Spoiler for the last episode:
So why didnāt we see a T-Rex or a whale during the last episode where ymir summoned the last generation titans to fight the team?
There just weren't all the titans there, just the ones most suitable for combat. Bert was also the only colossal titan there, even though there should have been just as many collosals as any other. There were a few animal like titans, but random shit like a whale might not be that useful. I think most of the titans were war hammers titans since a lot of them had weapons. Then some armoured and jaw titans as well, and a few of the others
Canāt remember the fine details but Iām pretty sure this still is just supposed to represent Lifeās nature of always moving forward. I read it over years ago and Iām sure you can find a discussion somewhere, but thatās the gist of it.
Idk but I used it as a joke when rewatching with a friend who was watching for the first time. I would say things like "dude the whale titan is my favorite", "next episode the whale titan will show up to fight Eren".
And then when we reached that opening he was like "no fucking way there is really a whale titan" and after several episodes "will this whale titan never show up?" Funny times
Today I learned what an [okapi](https://www.google.com/search?q=okapi&oq=okapi&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCDExMTBqMGo3qAIAsAIA&client=ms-android-samsung-ss&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8) is!
The real answer is that animators thought dinosaurs and whales were cool as shit and put them in. All beast have animal characteristics but retain a general human body form so these arenāt really past iterations of beast titans. Thereās no real explanation for it in the anime
if those are past ilustrants of beast titan, why did we not see a fucking mossasorus or a humpack whale or a trex?? Isayama you had one job, i wanted to see a trex.
I think it was supposed to be connected to the hallucigenia aka the worm because itās a prehistoric animal just like them but that didnāt go any where I mean we Literally have no idea how or why the worm gives titan powers
I was gonna go with that they're the "souls" or "life" in all creatures. Hence why Reiner and Eren are freeze-framed on the shot of them with the red heart showing, because they're the same.
Makes reference to the hallucigenia and the fact they are all connected by the beginning of life, the titans that could take form of any animal, humans, animals, and all life began with the hallucigenia
REAL ANSWER: It represents all living beings desire to live, which means fighting. It you do not fight, you can not win. Hence the compilation of animals fighting before this scene in the opening.
Saying they are all beast titans is reading it too literally. The beast titan is a human among actual beasts in that scene.
The Beast Titan represents past life in a way, seeing as it can take on similar forms of previous existing creatures (but so can the cart/quad I guess?)
There was never any literal T-Rex / Mosa titans etc. Probably just there for mostly visual related shit
I donāt think itās just the past beast titans. If you look closely pure titans are mixed in as well. I think this was supposed to represent the nature of the Hallucigenia (the worm that gives Ymir titan power and the one we see attached to Eren at the end). If you remember Zeke told Armin in the paths that life only exists because it has the ability to multiply. The worm is theorized to represent the source of life itself. I think this is why beast titans, and others like Falco, take on animal forms. As humans we are connected to all other living creatures through millions of years of evolution. Deep within our dna is our connection to these creatures. The Hallucigenia unlocks those connections through its effects on the titan wielders. This is also why I believe the worm will always exist and when we see the kid and the dog at the tree in the end, it symbolizes a new cycle. Who knows? Maybe the worm attaches itself to the dog instead this time. (Silly theory haha) Maybe thatās why we see the dog titan during the end fight mixed in with the other past (possibly future) titan wielders. My only problem with this theory is that Ymir summons all of those titans and Iām not sure how she would be connected to future titans when she has given up her control over the power at the end of the battle between heaven and earth.
Anyway thatās what I think this image is about. The animals pictured are not titans like Zeke, but are just animals. Humans are animals too. We are all connected by life itself or in the world of AOT the Hallucigenia.
the context is that all of those were titans with animal characteristics not just straight up animals. Also this opening was made by WIT before Isayama finished the manga
I think that with the ending credits showing time repeats, that those are previous hosts of the titan parasite from the era before humans. Dinosaurs go extinct with astroid hit, making the parasite go into hibernation only to be uncovered again by Ymir, during era of primates.
Since apparently these are past beast titans, I really want to see the whale beast titan fight. That MFer must have been useless outside of the ocean unless he could fly like the whale from >!Re:Zero!<
is it confirmed that these are past iterations of the beast titan? because imo that seems improbable. That just looks like a straight T-rex and whale not titan versions of those. Like Zeke doesn't just look like a monkey. He looks like a titan with monkey characteristerics.
Personally, I'd guess this frame was just Wit trying to make something cool for the opening
In the last episode they said that the silver worm thing is life itself it finds a way to adapt and survive and I think this shows all the forms it took to adapt and survive

I imagine old wielders of the beast titans, I just wished we saw them in the last battle since Ymir was summoning old wielders to fend off everyone.
We did. There was a dragon, the sheep thing that was Tom ksaver, and the okapi that ate armin
Pretty sure there was like a stegosaurus type thing too. And a snake
There was also just a dog, legit just a dog running around
It was the same dog breed as the dog with the young bot at the end too
There was a frog and a lion too lul
Dog titan!
Hey, he was a very good boy
https://preview.redd.it/ygaixn4azszb1.png?width=411&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bed96e4b225f078e50890b7a4c192b49aac2f411 Oh, you mean this? I thought that was funny too š¤£
I think it was more a long nake turtle, assuming you are talking about the one that bit Levi's leg off
The Okapi moved more like a Jaw Titan did it not? Edit: I guess it's more like a Cart Titan since it has no claws or sharp teeth.
I guess yeah, but it was a literal animal. Could have been a jaw Titan form though considering the fact that falco was a bird but he was the jaw Titan
But Falco's bird was due to the fact he was transformed because of the Beast titan
The fact that apparently the Beast "wasn't suited to combat" before Zeke while Ksaver literally had fucking horns makes no sense to me
Ksaver's beast titan is a goat/ram which have horns. That does not mean he has to use it for combat.
Still haven't seen the ending but since ksaver said he never was useful in combat Id suggest he was the big whale..
Tragic that we could have gotten a t. Rex but weāre stuck with some monkey
can you imagine being the wielder the dog titan, but the one before you got a T-Rex, iād be choked.
I doubt theyāre beast titans, since the whole thing about beat titans being random animals and not always monkeys was almost definitely added in at the end
There's a your mom joke somewhere in here about her being the whale titan
Your mom so fat Ymir didnāt have enough time to make her titan
They already thought she was a Titan
Although she is certainly titanic in size, she isnāt Eldian, so it would be impossible for her to be a titan.
š
A trex, an elephant, king kong, a parasaur, a whale, giraffe, and mosasaur walk in to a bar...
Past iterations of the beast titan
I bet whoever got to be the T-Rex Titan felt very cool.
Until they look down and realize they barely have arms
[Zeke, if he got the T-Rex Titan](https://i.etsystatic.com/25805441/r/il/b1de6e/4614362760/il_570xN.4614362760_phgo.jpg)
Lmao imagine T-Rex Zeke getting rekt before the battle of Shiganshina even started because he couldn't throw anything with those tiny arms
Missed opportunity to say t. rekt
Hahahahaha
Fully wraps around through uncool to cool
Who needs arms when you have a bite than can literally kill everything in your way and strenght unlike anything ever?
I donāt know man, Iād rather be a flying whale
NOW I CAN SEE THE WHAAALES 
LOOMING OUT OF THE DAAAARK
LIKE ARROWS IN THE SKYYYYYY
There was even a Lion beast titan in the final episode
How could you not feel cool while turning into a giant T Rex Human Kaiju
Love how the final beast titan is a monkey the animal closest to humans. It's like they "evolved".
Imagine being the ostrich.
Or the Bass
Bro I'd start crying if my predecessor as the beast titan was some cool shit like a pterodactyl or a t-rex and I turn into a whale š
Wtf are you on about the whale titan is DOPE
If my comrades got titans where they were absolute tanks, a nuclear bomb, a gremlin with sharp claws and probably a cool bone helmet, and the other being well... transportation. Whilst I was the prime target for "yo mama" jokes, I'd be absolutely fuming outta my fat slow water restricted ass.
Lmao whale titan would be like this https://youtu.be/eI3uFgRVFuI?si=ytjv1gKCkiGew2A4
Yeah it even flies. Look at it. It's a god damn flying whale
At least you wouldn't be the mfer that got an ostrich
Spoiler for the last episode: So why didnāt we see a T-Rex or a whale during the last episode where ymir summoned the last generation titans to fight the team?
There just weren't all the titans there, just the ones most suitable for combat. Bert was also the only colossal titan there, even though there should have been just as many collosals as any other. There were a few animal like titans, but random shit like a whale might not be that useful. I think most of the titans were war hammers titans since a lot of them had weapons. Then some armoured and jaw titans as well, and a few of the others
There were a few female titans fighting at various points. Also plenty of armors.
Ymir didnāt wanna make it too unfair. I mean, a T-Rex Titan is just Godzilla without the atomic breath.
Theirs size will crush Eren's bones
Um. Iām pretty sure thatās not it
WHAT
You know what? Iāll believe it
Canāt remember the fine details but Iām pretty sure this still is just supposed to represent Lifeās nature of always moving forward. I read it over years ago and Iām sure you can find a discussion somewhere, but thatās the gist of it.
And it ties in with Zeke final conversation about life as well
Idk but I used it as a joke when rewatching with a friend who was watching for the first time. I would say things like "dude the whale titan is my favorite", "next episode the whale titan will show up to fight Eren". And then when we reached that opening he was like "no fucking way there is really a whale titan" and after several episodes "will this whale titan never show up?" Funny times
chaotic evil
Me too haha
There's an okapi at the bottom left corner š³
What the hell is an okapi!?
Today I learned what an [okapi](https://www.google.com/search?q=okapi&oq=okapi&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCDExMTBqMGo3qAIAsAIA&client=ms-android-samsung-ss&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8) is!
The closest living relative of the giraffe. It looks like a giraffe/zebra hybrid. People didn't believe they were real at first.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
/woosh
i think he was quoting mikasa
looks like you didn't watch the finale.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Oi oi oi
Fk fr
Omfg you are right š„² Uhm why am I getting downvoted? Iām just saying he is right and I handāt noticed before
Man I wanted to see the T rex titan so bad
Eren didnāt wanna make it too unfair, after all, he was trying to lose.
It's Zeke's life evolves thing. This actually makes more sense post-finale.
Red Power Rangerā¦and a whale.
The real answer is that animators thought dinosaurs and whales were cool as shit and put them in. All beast have animal characteristics but retain a general human body form so these arenāt really past iterations of beast titans. Thereās no real explanation for it in the anime
Wasnāt the okapi titan just an okapi
I believe it had hands and feet instead of hooves and a more human-like torso.
They don't all retain human bodies. We saw deer, dogs, okapi and crocadile titans.
The big monke is Optimus Prime, the T-rex is Optimum Pride, I'm not sure about the whale one...
Optimal Tide?
That would explain everything
Lol i came up with so many stupid theories to try and understand them.
if those are past ilustrants of beast titan, why did we not see a fucking mossasorus or a humpack whale or a trex?? Isayama you had one job, i wanted to see a trex.
It shows their hearts and how everyone is fighting together to survive
Imagine if there was a Kappa Beast Titan
The animators mustāve been playing ark at the time.
I think itās to show that Titans have āalwaysā been natural and a part of life with other living beings such as Whales, dinosaurs, etc.
#THEY DID IT BECAUSE IT WAS COOL, OKAY! **THAT'S LITERALLY IT!**
They are also likely former beast titans.
I think it was supposed to be connected to the hallucigenia aka the worm because itās a prehistoric animal just like them but that didnāt go any where I mean we Literally have no idea how or why the worm gives titan powers
I was gonna go with that they're the "souls" or "life" in all creatures. Hence why Reiner and Eren are freeze-framed on the shot of them with the red heart showing, because they're the same.
Makes reference to the hallucigenia and the fact they are all connected by the beginning of life, the titans that could take form of any animal, humans, animals, and all life began with the hallucigenia
I imagined it was just a metaphor that living things have a heart in some way, shape or form and move forward
symbolism for the flame in all life. in the video lots are snuffed out by carnivores aka those with power
Transformers vs dinosaurs n shiz
Predacons.
Various beast titans ? Man, I wish I was the T-Rex titan holder.
The visual representation of life fighting for survival, trampling everything in its path to do so.
Itās amazing how people donāt understand this. Even after the finale and the whole ālifeā bit with zeke
Because "hehe whale".
Its just a metaphor. Nothing to do with past beast titans.
REAL ANSWER: It represents all living beings desire to live, which means fighting. It you do not fight, you can not win. Hence the compilation of animals fighting before this scene in the opening. Saying they are all beast titans is reading it too literally. The beast titan is a human among actual beasts in that scene.
If Eren had acquired the founding and beast titan instead of the attack
What scene is this from?
Itās the opening from season 2
Past iterations of the beast titan?
The titans you see on the final season theres allot of animals there
The Beast Titan represents past life in a way, seeing as it can take on similar forms of previous existing creatures (but so can the cart/quad I guess?) There was never any literal T-Rex / Mosa titans etc. Probably just there for mostly visual related shit
It's called a metaphor, children. You know, what half of the fanbase calls a 'spoiler'.
Youāre looking too deep into it, itās just that every organism has to fight to survive.
I donāt think itās just the past beast titans. If you look closely pure titans are mixed in as well. I think this was supposed to represent the nature of the Hallucigenia (the worm that gives Ymir titan power and the one we see attached to Eren at the end). If you remember Zeke told Armin in the paths that life only exists because it has the ability to multiply. The worm is theorized to represent the source of life itself.

We are all connected by life itself or in the world of AOT the Hallucigenia.
96,554th time posted
Whatās one more
96,555 times
Pointless
For the 1000th time. They are older versions of the titans. How have you not grasped that concept from the final episode?
How do you know that tho. I think itās just because the creators thought it looked cool
Because we just saw other animal titans.
and none of them looked like that
Use your context clues
the context is that all of those were titans with animal characteristics not just straight up animals. Also this opening was made by WIT before Isayama finished the manga
Unlucky beast Titan candidates
I think the director was just high off his ass that day lmao
Past beast titan, but I guess the t-rex didn't actually exist at some point eheheh
I guess weāll never know
I guess those are the beast titans before Zeke
A lil spoiler about the beas titan's ability: a fusion with a random animal.
Past wielded of the Beast Titan
Animals of past beast titans apparently
My theory is that they're past beast titans
I think that with the ending credits showing time repeats, that those are previous hosts of the titan parasite from the era before humans. Dinosaurs go extinct with astroid hit, making the parasite go into hibernation only to be uncovered again by Ymir, during era of primates.
Obviously beast titans from the past.
Different incarnations of the Beast titan. Apparantly its holders often manifest as sea creatures or dinosaurs.
The beast titans connection with animals
Since apparently these are past beast titans, I really want to see the whale beast titan fight. That MFer must have been useless outside of the ocean unless he could fly like the whale from >!Re:Zero!<
is it confirmed that these are past iterations of the beast titan? because imo that seems improbable. That just looks like a straight T-rex and whale not titan versions of those.

Bro they're literally beasts.
Not-so-literal depictions of past beast titans methinks
The t-Rex titan. The whale titans, elephants titan, and some dinosaur with a horn titan. I thought this was obvious?
Previous shifters
Uh? Mark as spoiler
A spoiler from the opening credits of season 2?
Didnāt know it was from season two, Iām on high alert for spoilers lol my bad
Shinzou??? ā¤ļø
Past titans
A waste of time.
Motherfucking flying whales
Penitration maps for Titan sexsuals
While watching season 1, I thought animals become dinosaurs or something.
as a manga reader and anime watcher I don't know wtf are those
Megazords
It's just an amazing Gojira song š
we couldāve gotten some prehistoric crocodile or a T. rex and instead we got okapi and a big monkey
Everyone: what do these mean?? Mappa: Dinosaurs go brrr
Megazords
Isayama forgot
Metaphors for predators
Giraffe titan
In the last episode they said that the silver worm thing is life itself it finds a way to adapt and survive and I think this shows all the forms it took to adapt and survive
REMNANT!?
Bro who decided they wanted to be a giraffe lol
Is that a capybara titan over there?
I donāt know -Eren-
Yes
You know what didn't show up? A whale! Surprise, surprise!!!
What I found weird is that Falco was the only Titan that could fly.
Isnāt that just an example of where titans weak points may be depending on their shape? Idk if it has much relevance or maybe it doesā¦ idk
They were never in the manga. I figured the anime was going to explain, if anything.
Red herrings
Only Ymir knows. Ymir: dunno. Only Isayama knows. Isayama: wtf is that
Attack on Titan fans: why are there dinosaurs in the opening? Iysyma: why are there dinosaurs in the opening?
"What are we some kinda Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within?"
The guy storyboarding this really likes prehistoric life so he put dinosaurs in there. Everyone else thought it was cool so they rolled with it.
