Episode 27 of Attack on Titan’s final season debuted Falco’s Jaw Titan, the latest and possibly greatest of the Nine Titans.
WARNING: The following contains disclosures for Attack on Titan Season 4, episode 27“Retrospective”
Jaw Titan is Attack on Titan’s newest titan as his lifeless Titan form that looks like a derpy has now transformed into one of the most beautifully designed Titans in the series. Things went from terrible to worse during the battle at the port as Reiner and Annie’s Titans struggled to fend off the Jaegeists’ Thunder Spear attack. Despite the risk, Falco jumped into action and transformed into the Jaw Titan for the first time, completely turning the tide of battle – despite losing control of his Titan’s powers.
When a Ymir Subject is transformed into a Heartless Titan, their new Titan’s body is often disproportionate and ugly. However, obtaining one of the Nine will change that Titan’s form into a killing machine. In most cases, Titan’s body is very similar to their human appearance. However, for Falco, Falco’s Titan Jaw body seems to have been inspired by his subconscious.
Falco’s new Jaw Titan has a bird-like appearance, which seems appropriate; His introduction in Attack on Titan comes as he is lying on his back, staring at a bird and mumbling passionately about a dream he had flown in. The fact that Falco had acquired a bird-shaped Titan – even as the group was struggling with time to prepare for Azumabito’s flying boat – felt like an omen.
In a nostalgic turn of events, Falco completely lost control of his Jaw Titan the moment he transformed. Pieck Finger warns him that the first transformation never goes smoothly, as the Scouts in the group are well aware of Eren’s first transformations into the Attacking Titan that Eren was so mad about. Bertholdt Hoover is the only Titan Shifter in the series to be credited with piloting his Titan during his first transformation. Luckily, the Jaegerist outnumbered the main party trying to stop Eren, so they had room for Falco’s wrath.
As for the power of Falco’s Jaw Titan, Porco Galliard increasingly looks like the worst Titan Shifter of all time. The former heir to the Jaw Titan, Porco spent most of his time being blown up with Thunder Spears or attacked by Eren to the point of near death. Porco’s Jaw Titan has never achieved anything of note in any of his time on the battlefield, but Falco’s Jaw Titan may have both saved the world by preventing the party from being overwhelmed by the Jaegerists. If an inexperienced Falco can become the machine that destroys a Titan in battle, the new Jaw Titan will be a force to be reckoned with once the highly trained Warrior Candidate gains control. it.
Although Falco’s Titan nearly overwhelmed Pieck’s Titan, the crisis was quickly averted when Theo Magath seized the opportunity to cut Falco off the back of the Jaw Titan. Aside from Rumble’s world-ending potential, it’s more obvious than ever that Titan’s dominance is coming to an end.
The group hopes to prevent Eren from possessing five of the nine Titans, and each Titan Shifter must be helped or brought on board to varying degrees of unconsciousness following their confrontation with the Jaegerist. Falco inherited his Titan Jaws at the worst possible time, seemingly never becoming a more dangerous Titan Transporter thanks to the advent of advanced weapons like the Thunder Spears.
Falco is currently resting well after saving a day with his Jaw Titan and hopefully, he’ll have better control over it next time he needs to. After all, stopping Eren from genocide on humanity inevitably requires another war. Only next time, Falco might not have the time to learn control. There’s only one episode left in The Final Season of AoT: Season Two, but the story is clearly not that close to its end. It may be a while before fans get to see Falco’s remarkable Jaw Titan in action again.
