Appearance
Human form
Eren as a Titan
Eren's appearance changes quite drastically when he transforms into the Attack Titan. His height
increases to 15 m, his hair grows long enough to graze his shoulders, and his tongue and ears
become elongated. His facial features also undergo a transformation; he develops a prominent,
hooked nose, his eyes become deeply sunken within their sockets, and his mouth takes on an
unusual, jagged shape that is unsuited for intelligible speech. Despite this, he is capable of howling
and roaring in order to express his exhaustion and anger. In addition, he also lacks lips and flesh on
his cheeks, so his teeth are exposed.
Similarly to past Attack Titan holders, Eren's Titan form is well-proportioned and physically fit,
sporting a well-defined, lean, and muscular appearance in lieu of the more common pot-bellied or
emaciated appearances of regular Titans.[44]
Founding Titan form
Eren's Founding Titan is drastically different than Ymir Fritz's Founding Titan, or any other Titan for
that matter. Initially, much of the Titan is shrouded by the steam from the Wall Titans, but its sheer
size is immediately noted, towering over the horde of Wall Titans. What appears to be the torso is
devoid of flesh, resembling an enormous ribcage. The knobs of the backbone and ribs are grossly
lengthened; the ribs reaching the ground while the arch of the spine extends far into the sky. The
pelvis and legs are greatly undersized however, seemingly useless. Despite this, they are still taller
than any Wall Titan. [45]
The upper body seems proportional with the legs, meaning that they are dwarfed by the "ribcage"
(although it is revealed that the "ribcage" arose from the lower back). The head is the only part of the
body with much flesh, although it is significantly deformed: both the ears and hair are greatly
elongated; the cheeks are missing, exposing the molars; and the bottom jaw is nearly bare, only the
lips and chin being present. Like a puppet, the upper body is suspended by sinew, supported by the
vertebral knobs like a suspension bridge. Inside the Titan, Eren's head is disconnected from his
torso; having been decapitated and rejoined by Ymir's power, it is connected by additional vertebrae
to what presumably is his body. Some sinew supports his scalp.
The Titan walks with its "ribcage", undulating the ribs like a millipede's legs. It is fast enough to keep
within view of the Rumbling.[46]
Pure Titan form
Eren's Pure Titan form was much shorter than his current Titan form. It was 4 m[11] tall with short,
rugged hair and a jagged, lipless mouth that exposed his teeth. His Pure Titan form also had a big
head, elongated ears, and an overall stocky build.
Personality
It is later revealed that Eren knew the future via the Attack Titan's ability and has been spiraling
down a state of depression, knowing what the inevitable outcome of the present will be. While he
does wish for a peaceful solution, he understands the impossibility of it better than all around him,
even Armin.
History
As Eren untied her in the aftermath, he was caught off-guard by a third robber, who proceeded to
strangle him. Eren urged Mikasa, who was frozen in fear, to fight back, warning her that they would
both be killed if she did nothing. As Eren began to lose consciousness, Mikasa finally lost all
inhibition and lunged at their attacker, stabbing him through the heart and killing him.
During hand-to-hand combat training, Eren admits to Reiner that he finds it unnecessary, claiming
that it would be much wiser to run away when attacked by another human than to engage them.
Reiner reprimands him for his attitude and points Eren to Annie, who is also slacking off. Egged on
by Reiner, Eren tries to attack Annie with his mock knife to punish her for slacking off and is quickly
disarmed by her unconventional fighting style. She makes short work of Reiner and Eren, enthralled
by Annie's proficiency, asks to know who trained her. He is taken aback when she begins to lecture
him on the military's flaws, pointing out that it awards its most talented trainees with positions far
away from the Titans, where their skills would be most useful.
Annie's words continue to bother Eren, who becomes annoyed at the idea of trainees trying to
improve their skills just to stay away from the Titans. Eren confronts Jean for possessing such a
mentality, which leads to a physical altercation between the two. Eren easily ends the fight by
replicating Annie's moves and proceeds to lecture Jean for slacking off during his training.[88]
After resupplying at the headquarters, Eren and Armin are assigned to a squad together as part of
Trost's middle guard. Mikasa is unhappy to be assigned to a different squad, but she assents when
Eren berates her for not obeying orders.
Despite their nerves, Eren's squad enters the battle in high spirits, viewing the upcoming battle as an
opportunity to prove their mettle as soldiers before they enter the Survey Corps. However, things
immediately take a turn for the worst when Thomas Wagner is devoured. Enraged, Eren tries to kill
the Titan, only to be incapacitated by a second Titan biting off his leg. Eren regains consciousness
just in time to save Armin from being eaten, being swallowed himself in the process.[92]
In the stomach of the Titan, Eren comes across the dead or dying soldiers who were devoured by
the Titan. As he remembers his goal to kill every last Titan alive, his anguish triggers his first
transformation into his Attack Titan form. Bursting out of the Titan that devoured him, he proceeds to
wreak havoc on all the Titans he finds. In the process, he unknowingly saves Mikasa’s life from
another Titan and is baited by Armin, Connie, and Mikasa to help fend off a procession of Titans
from a storage headquarters for the compressed gas used to power their maneuvering gear.
Hange removes Eren from his Titan and notices his disfigured face
Approximately one week later, he and the new Squad Levi move into a secluded cabin. Levi begins
a meeting with his and Hange's squads, announcing their plan to use Eren's hardening to seal Wall
Maria.[137] At Levi's request Hange begins testing Eren's hardening abilities, but little success is
had.[138] Eren fails to show any signs of hardening and the longer he tries, the more malformed his
Titan body becomes.[139] Eren is discouraged by the results, but Hange and Levi manage to cheer
him up by reminding him that they learned a lot about his abilities and limitations.[140]
After receiving word from Erwin, Eren moves out along with the rest of Levi's squad and heads to
their rendezvous point in Trost District.[141] However, he does not accompany them inside. Instead,
he waits with Historia in an undisclosed location. The two of them bond over dreams they cannot
remember and expectations they cannot meet. Historia notes that the others must be disappointed
by how empty her true self is compared to her Krista persona, and Eren tells her that he likes her
new personality more than her old one.[142]
Eren, Mikasa, Levi and Hange discover the truth in the basement
When Armin wakes up, Eren explains what has transpired to him, including Bertolt's death.[187] He,
Hange, Levi, and Mikasa make their way to his basement. However, they discover that the key
Grisha had given him does not fit the lock. Levi kicks down the door and they enter an office. It
seems to be nondescript until Mikasa finds a keyhole in Grisha's desk. Eren tries the key on it and it
opens to reveal a drawer that appears to be empty. They find a false bottom in the drawer and
underneath it are preserved books. Eren, with Mikasa, opens one of them and finds a picture of a
family. On the back of it is a message of Grisha that the picture is called a "photograph" and that
humanity has not perished.[188]
Eren and Armin discuss and verify the memories
Upon returning victorious to the Walls, Eren and Mikasa are placed in detention for disobeying
orders from Levi and Hange. While serving his sentence, he helps Armin verify the contents of
Grisha's books regarding the outside world and the true nature of the Titans by comparing them with
his memories that Grisha passed down to him. During one of his nightmares, he is startled awake
with the realization that Dina, Grisha's first wife, was the Smiling Titan who had devoured his
mother.[189]
Hange and Levi release Eren and Mikasa from detention ten days early, informing them that their
punishment was only to set an example to the public and that their help is needed to chart a new
course for the Survey Corps in light of the new revelations about the outside world.[190]
Eren solemnly stands in the ocean, pointing towards his enemies in Marley
In roughly a year the Titan Guillotine vanquishes all Titans within Wall Maria, Shiganshina District is
repopulated, and the Survey Corps hold their first expedition beyond the Walls in six years. The
Survey Corps encounters a deformed Titan, who had been crawling towards the Wall, and Eren
identifies the Titan as a former compatriot. The Survey Corps follows the deformed Titan's trail until
they reach the edge of Paradis Island.[196]
The Survey Corps go down to the beach front, dismounting their horses and taking off their boots.
Armin is overjoyed by the ocean, but Eren solemnly notes that the other side of the ocean does not
hold freedom as he used to believe. Enemies exist on the other side of the ocean and Eren wonders
if killing everybody across the ocean will bring the people of the Walls freedom.[197]
Marley arc
Abilities
Martial arts
Originally, Eren's only noteworthy trait was his natural physical strength, which stemmed from having
to defend his friend Armin from bullies who were bigger and stronger. As he grew and joined the
104th squad, he trained extensively in hand-to-hand combat. After additional training with Reiner
and Annie, Eren's prowess and skill set diversified, including the use of punches, throws, grappling
and submission locks.[278] He had the best scores for hand-to-hand combat of the entire 104th
graduate squad. While hand-to-hand fighting would appear useless due to the massive physical
differences between humans and Titans, these skills gave Eren a powerful edge when fighting other
Titans in his own Titan form.
Vertical maneuvering equipment
Though having little talent, through intense training and effort he managed to gain a considerable
amount of skill with the equipment. Even so, Eren was not completely lacking in natural aptitude.
While using the damaged equipment, he had managed to stay upright for a short amount of time,
which the instructor, Keith Shadis, said was an incredible feat, and balanced with ease when using
proper gear.[279] The fact he graduated as the 5th best of the 104th graduate squad, even before
Jean Kirstein, who was top of the class in mobility with the gear, implied that he had considerable
combat skill with the maneuvering equipment.
Though Eren was not shown using the equipment as often as other members of the Survey Corps,
he was able to hold his own against the Colossus Titan until the Titan disappeared, almost reaching
the nape twice. He was even capable of killing a Titan on his own not too long after joining the
Survey Corps. His most significant use of maneuvering equipment was shown during the Battle of
Shiganshina, where he was able to use it to cut Bertolt Hoover out of the Colossus Titan's nape
while he was distracted by his hardened Titan form, despite being exhausted.

Power of the Titans
Attack Titan
After the fall of Wall Maria, Grisha found Eren in a refugee camp and brought him into a nearby
forest. After giving him the key to the basement, Grisha injected a struggling Eren with a serum,
which transformed him into a 4 meter Pure Titan with short rugged hair and a skinny body. This Titan
ate Grisha, giving Eren the powers of the Founding Titan and Attack Titan. Years later, during the
first Battle of Trost, Eren was eaten alive by a Titan, and inside the stomach-like cavity saw other
fellow recruits lying dead/dying, one wanting her mother before sinking in stomach acid. The sight
combined with intense feelings of desperation and his drive to exterminate all Titans awoke his
ability to transform into his Titan form for the first time.[281]
In this form, Eren is a 15 meter tall Titan, with shoulder-length black hair, pointed ears, a long nose,
and a gaping, skeleton-like maw lacking lips. Unlike most other Titans, his Titan form is considerably
more muscular and defined; making him much stronger than even similar-sized Titans while his
intelligence and military training, allow him to out-maneuver and dispatch entire groups of Titans with
ease. A transformation takes a heavy toll on Eren’s body and requires large amounts of stamina. As
a result, he has displayed several symptoms when he over-exerts himself such as a nosebleed, pale
skin, and labored breathing. In some cases, Eren is rendered unconscious for a short period of time
after a Titan transformation.
Initially, Eren has no control over his actions when he first transforms into a Titan and is unable to
remember any actions that occurred during the first Battle of Trost. He is in a “dream-like state” and
fails to remember how to transform in the first place. However, Eren recalls fragmented memories of
his father by seeing the key to the basement of his old home and is able to successfully transform to
protect Armin and Mikasa from certain death. It has been shown that with more transformations,
Eren retains more of his intelligence, being able to form rational thoughts. At the beginning, during
the second Battle of Trost, Eren in his Titan form attacks Mikasa but ultimately plugs the hole in
Trost's gate after Armin forces him to wake up. His Titan form, combined with his growing
experience and his hand-to-hand combat skills, allowed him to kill over 20 Titans in his first
transformation and later manage to overpower and nearly kill the Armored Titan.[282]
Eren, like all others with the power of the Titans, must physically harm himself (or suffer some kind
of injury) in order to transform into his Titan form. However, lack of a determined goal and resolution
for it inhibit his ability to transform as shown when he cannot transform at first to confront Annie
Leonhart. Within Titan transformations, he has displayed the ability to partially transform, as shown
when he protected Mikasa and Armin from a cannonball by forming the upper torso skeleton,
complete with arms and a skull with some muscle tissue.
Enhanced Strength: As a result of Eren’s Titan form being much more muscular than other
Titans, he is much stronger in terms of physical strength. During his first transformation, Eren
was able to decapitate a 15m Titan with a single punch and kill a 7m Titan with little effort.
With both arms lost, he was also strong enough to bite into the neck of a large, abnormal Titan
that ate Thomas and lift it up above his head. With enough force, Eren was able to throw the
abnormal into another Titan hard enough to knock them both into a building.[283] Against the
Female Titan in the Titan Forest, Eren’s Titan form had enough physical force to leave large
craters in the ground, as well as lift the Female Titan into the air with a punch. Ultimately,
Eren’s greatest display of strength was when he lifted a giant boulder, albeit with difficulty,
carry it across a large distance, and slam it down to seal the hole in Trost's gate, producing a
large shock wave.
Enhanced Endurance: Perhaps Eren's most notable trait of all is his ability to maintain levels
of activity for an extended period of time. His first transformation carried on long enough to
incapacitate 20 Titans in total. In battle, even after receiving massive amounts of damage from
the Female Titan, Eren can carry on fighting, despite the handicaps that he suffers. He was
also able to fight against the Armored Titan for a period of time and gain the upper hand.
Eren’s endurance in his Titan form was enough to allow him to sustain the effort of hoisting a
huge rock on his back, carry it over a large distance, and seal the hole in Trost's gate shortly
before collapsing. In Marley, Eren displayed exceptional improvement in his durability. He
could transform into a Titan three times in one battle, surprising Galliard.
