Attack On Titan: Titan Shifters Ranked By Age, From Oldest To ...

Anyone can inherit a Titan at seemingly any age, as some characters have inherited Titans in their childhood. Attack on Titan isn't a perfect narrative by any means, but the Titan shifters are still intriguing plot devices that add a distinct element of existential, cosmic horror to the series.

9 Zeke Jaeger, The Beast Titan Shifter, Is Currently 29

The cool and calculated master of the Beast Titan form is none other than Eren Jaeger's half-brother, Zeke Jaeger. In his most recent appearance in the anime, he's been thoroughly beaten by Levi Ackerman, and his current status is unknown, although it's unlikely he'll survive. Zeke's apathetic, tactical nature makes him especially formidable as an opponent, and he's quite inventive with his Titan form. Utilizing the Beast Titan's long, powerful arms and his own pitching skill from his youth, Zeke can throw objects and Pure Titans as projectiles over long distances.

8 Lara Tybur, The War Hammer Titan Shifter, Was Approximately 25

While her age hasn't been officially revealed, it can be inferred that Lara Tybur is likely aged around the mid-20s before Eren defeats her in battle and inherits her Titan form. Lara's status as the War Hammer Titan was a closely guarded secret that kept her entire character shrouded in mystery until late in the series. The War Hammer Titan is one of the more impressive of the Nine Titans. Not only is it able to create a variety of structures from hardened Titan flesh, but it can also be operated remotely.

7 Reiner Braun, The Armored Titan Shifter, Is Currently 21

Representing the Armored Titan is Reiner Braun, a principled youth who believes he's doing what's best for his people. Reiner is currently 21 in the Attack on Titan anime and working with the Marleyans to retaliate against Paradis.

As a member of the Marleyan Warriors, he was essentially brainwashed as a child to bring glory to the Marleyans despite his partial Eldian bloodline. From the Marleyan perspective, Reiner is the protagonist of this story, and they're expecting him to succeed in bringing back the Founding Titan to save the world.

6 Pieck Finger, The Cart Titan Shifter, Is Approximately 21

Based on the fact that Pieck Finger is around the same age as Reiner Braun when he's sent on the mission to infiltrate Paradis Island, it's likely that she's also around 21 years old. As a character who appears late in the series, there hasn't been any official information released about her age. Pieck controls one of the handiest Titans, the Cart Titan. The Cart Titan's claim to fame is its impressive utility and endurance. It's able to travel long distances at a steady speed while carrying supplies on its back.

5 Annie Leonhart, The Female Titan Shifter, Is Currently 20

Another young candidate of the Marleyan Warriors and commander of the Female Titan, Annie Leonhart is currently 20 years old in the anime. Annie's ability to remain calm and collected in any given circumstance makes her an excellent warrior and quite capable in her Titan form. The Female Titan is agile and has high endurance, meaning it can be used in a variety of ways. Annie was able to run as the Female Titan for a long distance without becoming fatigued, and she was able to nimbly fight against Eren's Attack Titan.

4 Porco Galliard, The Jaw Titan Shifter, Is Approximately 19

Another character whose age hasn't been officially stated, Porco Galliard is the newest inheritor of the Jaw Titan. Considering his older brother, Marcel Galliard, was about 12 years old when he died at Ymir's hands, Porco could be estimated to be about 19 years old during the events of the anime. Although he was introduced late, Porco has enough personality to last him during his short screentime. He's a rude yet friendly guy who cares about his fellow Warriors and holds a bit of a grudge against Reiner. Porco was also a candidate for the Armored Titan, but Reiner was given the power instead.

3 Eren Jaeger, The Attack Titan Shifter, Is Currently 19

Although Eren technically has more than one Titan power at this stage in the anime, his original Titan form is the Attack Titan. The Attack Titan is one of the most versatile of the Nine Titans, and Eren's fiery nature nicely matches the Attack Titan's explosive power.

Eren himself has changed a lot as a character. His once fiery passion has turned into cold determination, and his skill with the Attack Titan is as deadly as ever. He also has command over the War Hammer Titan and Founding Titan at this point in the anime.

2 Armin Arlert, The Colossal Titan Shifter, Is Currently 19

Once commanded by Bertholdt Hoover, the Colossal Titan was inherited by Armin Arlert after Bertholdt's death. Although it's only been recently inherited, Armin was able to use the Colossal Titan's destructive power to cause massive damage to the Marleyan forces during Eren's infiltration mission. The Colossal Titan is too big to be used often, but its incredible size and destructive capabilities make it a great option as a last resort. Just the mere explosive power of the Colossal Titan's transformation would be enough to deal disastrous levels of damage to the enemy.

1 Frieda Reiss, The Previous Founding Titan Shifter, Died At 18

Eren is the holder of the Founding Titan now, but it's previously under the control of Frieda Reiss. It's been revealed that Eren's father, Grisha Jaeger, appealed to the Reiss family for assistance before the events of Attack on Titan. Frieda refused to help due to the First King's Will, which pushed Grisha to shift into the Attack Titan and fight Frieda with the intent of stealing the Founding Titan's form. Frieda wasn't very skilled with the Founding Titan, and Grisha defeated her easily before murdering her other family members. She died at only 18 years old.
