The Human-Titans Part 2.3 (Attack on Titan)

The Armored Titan Theory    

      Since the first and only appearance of the Armored Titan there has been an imprint on our minds, who is the Armored Titan? Is his special ability the ability to harden himself and be immune to injury like Annie? These are both questions that everyone have been asking themselves , but without answers (unless you have read the manga or accidental stumbled upon a spoiler). Since pretty much anyone could be the Armored Titan I'm going to skip over that question in this post and go into the potential special abilities of the Armored Titan instead.

      In episode 1 when the Armored Titan charged towards the gate, it was hit by a cannon shot in the middle of its run, but kept on running without breaking pace. Many people believe that the Armored Titan can harden his skin like Annie, but there were no marks of the Titan hardening its skin, also there was a "Bing" or "ting" sound when the cannon ball hit the Titan's shoulder. This sound is actually normal for the cannon ball to make when it hits a hard surface on an angle, I am assuming that the cannon ball hit the Armored Titan's shoulder on an angle due to the fact that it hit the Titan's shoulder which was constantly moving. This is not the most interesting fact of the Armored Titan, when the Armored Titan smashed through the gate it came to a stop shortly after, not only did it come to a stop but it also released a jet of flames from its mouth. This is the most important fact of the entire encounter, due to newton's three laws of motion (which was miss used in part 1 and will be fixed) it was possible for the Armored Titan to not waver from being hit with a cannon ball and be able to smash through the gate, but there is little exclamation behind why the Titan released a jet of flames.

      My best guess (which is the theory that I currently believe) is that the Armored Titan was able to super charge itself to gain the speed and energy to smash through the gate, all Human-Titans are able to run and the Armored Titan was actually in a running starting position before he started his run to be able to accelerate faster. If the Armored Titan was not able to build up energy/momentum before it started running than the only exclamation for how it can smash through the wall is that Sasha is actually the Armored Titan, which is extremely unlikely since Human-Titans seem to have very similar physical traits as the person in human form. In conclusion as I have stated before the Armor Titan must be able to build up energy/power which means that it must use its mouth as an exhaust pipe to release the remaining energy, this would mean that the Armored Titan's special ability is the ability to store and expel great amounts of energy. I hope that you agree with this theory and also feel free to disagree, comment on the Theory, or expand on it in the comment section below; also feel free to express your own theories on the blog, its not just my blog its yours as well.
