So readers the time has final come for Part:3, the final post for this series that explains a theory. There will be a Part:4, but the part will contain the summing up of all the parts and I will explain the most likely theory for the creation of Titans and why I believe that it is the most likely reason. Anyways, in Part:1 I theorized the creation of Titans through Evolution, and in Part:2 I theorized the creation of Titans through Creationism (Science and Higher Beings); and now in Part:3 I shall explain the creation of Titans through Natural Ability! You will probably think that I am crazy since, it contains next to no science and only observations, and because it throws a lot of logic out the window. But the Creation of Titans through Natural Ability seems more likely than you think!
A slightly unrelated question kept on pestering me throughout the previous two parts: If this theory is true, how were Human-Titans created? Which after some thought the most likely answer was that they were originally humans, I know that this theory has been probed a lot on the internet but I believe I can give a little depth and shine some light on the theory. We all know that Eren, Annie, and others (will not be mentioned due to spoilers) have the ability to become a Titan; so far the post popular theory on the topic is that they were given a drug that turned them into Human-Titans, but what if they already had the power to become a Human-Titan. If they all inherited the ability to become a Human-Titan than one or both of their parents are also Human-Titans. When Eren first turned into a Human-Titan he was on the brink of death and the first few times he turned he was unable to control himself and acted like a regular Titan. So in theory Titans are people who have the ability to become a Titan and lost control, making them unable to turn back; and acting on instinct instead of thought. I don't exactly know if the limitations of Human-Titans in Titan form in terms of survival, but we can also assume that they do not age, nor need food and water.
I am sorry for going off topic on this Part but I believe that I should explain the entire theory and branches to make sure I don't accidently make the theory too confusing. Anyways, in an early episode of the anime it was explained that Titans suddenly appeared and humanity lost almost all knowledge of the outside world when they entered the walls, so Human-Titans and Humans could have been living side-by-side until some sort of incident occurred that forced a large amount of Human-Titans to turn into Titans. I am not sure what the incident may have been, but my best guess is an attempted genocide to kill all Human-Titans, but what ever the reason, the result was a extremely large portion of Human-Titans turning into Titans and losing control. With hundred of thousands maybe even hundreds of millions of Human-Titans losing control and killing every human they see, the human populace had to leave everything behind and run to safety. In all the confusion it would be safe to say that a few Human-Titans secretly disguised themselves and migrated behind the walls with the other refugees. And as a result they would be forced to hide their true identities in fear of the deaths of themselves and their families, which would result in Eren and others living behind the walls.
I hope you enjoyed part 3 of the series, I know that this part was a bit shorter and moved off topic, but I believe that The Creation of Titans Through Natural Ability was a very important theory to discuss even though it went off topic. I will be making a post on this theory and how (if its true) could of shaped the storyline and lore of the anime, also the post will not be considered a part of this theory incase your wondering. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed Part:3 of the series and the next part, Part:4, will be the summing up of the series and my thoughts on what is the most likely theory on the Creation of Titans. But until then this is only AVirginTheory!

The Creation of Titans Part:2 (Attack on Titan)
Greetings readers do I have a surprise for you! Just so you know part two isn't actually the surprise, as you know in the last part I talked about Evolution, and how it could of been the cause of Titan creation. Well Part 2: Creationism is actually the part that I was looking forward to the most, surprised? I don't want to bash on either Creationism or Evolution, but when I said creationism, I meant both through God(s) and Science. The creation of Titans through science is the one idea that can continuously be branched, with unlimited possibilities!
But First I should talk about the creation of Titans through creation of God(s), and then I will move on to Titan creation through Science. In the Anime religion plays a huge role in politics with both the government and the military, but surprisingly their is only one religion, The Wall Cult. Or at least that seems to be it's name on the internet, it's not surprising that there is only one religion due to the fact that there is only around 1 million (estimate) people within the walls. But the religion/cult gives no explanation for why their are Titans only the wall, which is said to protect mankind. Anyways for the theory lets say that there is a god, and the god decided to create Titans through whatever method, and released them on the earth. Which in the anime it did say that Titans suddenly appeared out of no where without any warning what so ever, and the Titans killed most of the human population. And since the Titans only targeted humans and not anything else we can say that they were created to exterminate humans. So taking the facts that Titans only kill humans and that they suddenly appeared, we can pretty much assume that this would be a pretty reasonable theory for the creation of Titans.
Now on to my favorite part! What if the Titans were created through science? Well if that is the case then , who created them? Not the government, Never (sarcasm)! If Titans were created by the government within the walls than they were suffering from insanity and were not very bright, the Titans literally annulated the human race and confined the survivors within the walls, there was literally nothing to gain from the act. Which if the government did create Titans than they must have also created human-titans as well, which did destroy three portions of the walls, wait was their plan to exterminate the human race? If they created Titans why didn't they also release them inside the walls as well, or at least left the gate open when they released the Titans? Probably because they are not the cause of Titan creation, which leaves us to the "other kingdom", which would have the same story. Exterminate the human race, confine us within a group of walls which the hybrids that we have also created can destroy, celebrate our success in destroying humanity. This sounds just as likely as the first, not very likely, its also the same story for every country. And it probably wasn't the work of a secret society... or at least a sane secret society, since their goals would probably be control the world or exterminate the human race... maybe it was a secret society.
So under the impression that it was a secret society they would have to be wealthy, powerful, and smart; which they could than successfully research, create and release Titans from various locations around the world in a controlled manor. This would also explain Dr. Jaeger's incredible insight about the movements of Titans; but again moving on. If it wasn't a government nor a secret society, than maybe an alien civilization, and when I say alien I mean both foreign or "alien" civilization. But they would have to live off world, so the possibilities are endless and also very likely, since they could both monitor and protect themselves from Titans. Which the Titans would be able to transported to earth through pretty much any logical method, so if Titans were not originally from earth than there are an unlimited amount of possibilities for how they got their.
Thank you for reading Part: 2 of this three(four?) part series of The Creation of Titans, I know that the final part of this post was a bit rushed but, it isn't really about how Titans were created. The funny thing is that Titans migrating to earth/where the anime takes place was supposed to be its own part but another possible theory on the Creations of Titans accord to me while writing Part: 3. So my next Part (Part: 3) will be about Titans through Natural Ability! Yes it sounds confusing but I am not sure what would be the best way to describe it, but I promise you it will be an Amazing Part THAT WILL ROCK YOUR WORLD! Also if you would like to tell me your own thoughts please feel free to say them in the comments below, it really pains me to say this but I would really appreciate it if you would write a comment since it really helps out my blog. As a little incentive, if 10 people comment on my blog I will release a post about the meaning behind my name, so until then this is only AVirginTheory!

The Creation of Titans Part:1 (Attack on Titan)
Welcome readers to my first post on my theories on The Creation of Titans! If you read part 0 of this series (Is that what its called?) than you will know that I am trying to find out how Titans were created, if not now you know. I am also making a quick note stating that These Theories Apply to the Anime Not The Manga so if you want to comment on the post than please do not mention spoilers, I would really appreciate it! But back to the topic on hand! This post will be focused on the likelihood of Titan Evolution, and the next post will be about the likelihood of Creationism (through science or not). Yes I am bring up the age old argument of Evolution vs. Creationism, now before you pick sides first read Part:1 and Part:2 (which will be out next week), I would really appreciate it. Also A Quick Warning: I will be using terms and explanations that may be foreign to you, but I will try my best use them as little as possible, also if you are confused about anything feel free to ask!
Now that I have finished the introduction I can start talking about my theories on Titan Evolution, but what is Evolution? Well readers the theory of evolution was made famous by Charles Darwin and expresses that life evolved through natural selection (picking a mate to reproduce with based on traits). How does this apply to Titans? Well if you ever thought about what gave Titans their physical traits, than you come to believe that Titans inherited those traits overtime. If one of mankind's ancestors created a separate branch of hominids that had carnivore traits and a "conscience" than the hominid specie would eventually evolve through natural selection, picking physical traits like size, and strength; which would give Titans the strength and size you see in the Anime. The show explained that the Titans do not need to eat, drink, or have bowel movements, these traits would also come from another part of natural selection.
If the hominid Titans (that's what I'm going to call them for now) were living in a unfriendly environment for life, than they would need these select traits. Natural Selection strikes again! Naturally the hominid Titans would be mating with those who could preserve food and water in their bodies, and those who's bodies could use it efficiently, which would give them the natural ability to go long periods of time without food or water. With hominid Titans with negative traits dying off the ones with positive traits live on (The strong survive and the weak die), Titans as a species become genetically stronger and pass on these traits to the next generations. The show expressed that the Titans do not reproduce, but Titans may not reproduce through traditional methods, it is highly possible that they are asexual (reproduce without a partner) since there is only one gender of Titans (which is Titan).
To sum up what we have so far (which is a fair bit), Titans originally a branch of hominid that developed their physical traits through natural selection and also developed their lack of need for food and water through natural selection due to their environment, which it is also highly likely that Titans are also asexual. What we have not explained yet is their ability to regenerate, this really stumped me, since I don't believe it is from rapid cell generation. Rapid cell reproduction is when your cells reproduce extremely fast, this is usually due to a cellular mutation, which is very similar to cancer. Sounds like it could be the answer, but it isn't. With rapid cellular reproduction it could quickly heal any wound, but your cells shouldn't stop reproducing, they should continue to reproduce without end and would quickly lead to the deformity of Titans followed by death. Which is the part that stumps me, but we can probably assume that Titans have something similar to rapid cell reproduction.
So overall Titans came to be due to evolution, mainly due to natural selection due to their environment, and their regenerative ability is similar to rapid cellular generation. I hope you liked the post and also Part:1 on the Creation of Titans, this part explored the possibility of evolution and next week I will be exploring the possibility of Creationism (through scientific creation and spiritual). Also I would really like to hear some of your theories on the creation of titans but please do not add any spoilers from the manga, Thank You! I hope you will stock around for part: 2 which is coming out next week, and remember this is only a Virgin Theory!

The Creation of Titans Part:0 (Attack on Titan)
Greetings readers, the VirginTheory is back! But instead of another theory I will present to you my theories on THE CREATION OF TITANS! Unlike my other posts this will be a three (maybe four?) post series on the development of my theories on the creation of Titans, like always each part will contain one MAJOR theory, with the side of a few minor theories. Unlike my other posts (minus The Human-Titans Part: 2.1) I will actually apply some real life science to the development of my theories, and will make base my theories on my findings. Which means: unlike my other theories where my theories were mainly based off of observations, these theories will be based off of both observations and scientific knowledge. Since this is only an introductory post, Part:1 will be posted Monday at 7:00AM (EST), with the latest Part being posted every week at 7:00AM (EST). I hope you read my posts and remember these will only be VirginTheories!
