What is in the walls? Everyone has been asking themselves this question, in a previous post from months ago I gave my two cents worth, and now I think its time to ask myself this question again. All we know is that there is a Titan's face inside Wall Sina, there are many different opinions about what is in the wall, from Human-Titans to Gods (My original theory). I will be discussing my new theory/opinion but first we need to look at a couple of facts: first is that there are Human-Titans with an unknown objective, second there are regular Titans who are pretty much mindless zombies, third the face was pointing towards the center of humanity's territory not away. This final fact spawned my new theory, but first lets dissect these three facts.
In the anime we have seen four Human-Titans, and they seem to have their own secret objective that may not be in the best interest of humanity (Eren not included), this gives me the feeling that they know something that no one else knows. This may be related to why the Walls were created and what is inside the walls, also the Human-Titans never actually attempted to damage the walls and tried to keep them undamaged (besides the gate). The fact that Titans pretty much act like normal zombies is probably the most important fact for most theories about the wall, unless the Titan is an abnormal they do not run after a certain object/person and only go after the closest human, many people believe that the walls were created with Titans as supports. When you construct a wall you always dig a trench for where the wall will be placed and deep holes in the trench for where the supports are to be placed, if the builders of the wall were attacked by the titans than the titans would more than likely fall in the trenches and holes without a way of escape. The workers would than probably be two scared to remove the Titans and would build the wall with them inside, thus adding Titans to the base of the wall and the fact that they are facing inside could only be a coincidence. This is not my theory but it is something that is very likely, but the third fact is that the face is pointing inside, if a couple of gods decided to seal themselves inside a tomb than they would probably be facing towards the center of the tomb, also since the faces are pointing towards the inside it is more than likely not accidental, thus spawning my new theory/opinion.
Keeping with my theme of imprisonment the walls may also be a prison for Human-Titans, when building a prison you want to keep the prisoners in the prison and stop them from escaping, so you generally want to have the prisoners in the center of the prison and towards the center of the prison to decrease the risk of escape and also stop outsiders from successfully freeing prisoners. This falls in line with the third fact that I pointed out, also the faces may not be connected to a body, if the Titan had it's head chopped off below the nape of the neck than the Human inside the Titan would not be injured and would remain in Titan form. This would make it easy for whom ever is sealing the Human-Titans to transport the Human-Titan in their Titan form, another unrelated theory that I have is that Human-Titans can not regenerate if they do not have the space, the show never tested this theory but my guess is that Titan generation works similar to the way sodium polyacrylate rapidly expands in water, if it does not have the space to expand than it cannot expand, so if a Titan does not have the space to regenerate than the Titan will not regenerate. Anyways back on the subject the first fact that I pointed out is that the Human-Titans are not trying to damage the walls but instead are only destroying the gates, if the fact that there are Human-Titan prisoners within the walls than if you are trying to free them you would try not to injure them. If the Human-Titans (minus Eren) are trying to free the captured Human-Titans than their objective is probably to convince them to join there cause (what ever it is), freeing the captured Human-Titan would defiantly gain their support.
With the three facts that I pointed out I was able to come up with this new theory, I have an equal amount of confidence in this theory as I do with my original theory about the gods sealing themselves in the walls. I hope that you have read through my theory and feel free to tell me your opinion, the only thing that I ask is that you do not give away spoilers from the manga since some people (myself included) have not actually read it and are waiting for the second season/volume to come out.
