And these giants were of pure soul. Every generation they’d become slightly more and more corrupted and as they got more and more corrupted, they’d get smaller and smaller in size.
And then the world would end, and the whole cycle would start over again.
It was mentioned in Joseph Campbell’s book Hero with a Thousand Faces. But I can’t find it :(
EDIT: FOUND! It’s Jainism! It’s in The Universal Round chapter of Hero of a Thousand Faces. Thank you all.
Tell us about Giants in the Trees
As Zeke Yeager stated in chapter 107, the Titan Forest is "a unique place in this world". The trees are on average about 80 meters, slightly bigger but in the range of collosal titans who can be 60 meters tall.
Here is what we know
- There is no other known place in the world with trees this big
- the trees are about the size of collosal titans
- Isayama has put this unique place in his world and has provided no explanation for why it is this way, and the man never does stuff like this without an explanation.
- in the latest chapter, the tree ymir fell in looks very well like it's made of two giant people
- titans become weak without sunlight, like trees who need sunlight to photosynthesize it into energy
I read Ursula Le Guin's short story "Island of the Immortals" where diamonds found all over the island were later to be revealed to be thousands of years old carbonized bodies of people who became immortal. They continue to live but their bodies decayed, so the natives buried them, though they suffered, they would eventually "die" from becoming diamonds, ending their curse.
I feel like Isayama may be doing something like this, where the Titan Forest is actually made up of Titans, and there will be a chapter explaining how the forest came to be, and that Eren might turn all titans into trees and this will be the scenery he talks about.
Maybe the Titan will become an incredible forest of trees that will forever will seperate Eldians and Marleyans? I'm not sure...what do you all think?

Hey guys so i’ve been trying to grow a giant spruce tree for a while now with no luck, I’ve probably used well over 2 stacks of bonemeal with no success. Is there a certain mechanic i might not know about? I even made it work in creative but sadly in survival it is not happening. Any tips would be great i think they’d look great in my village!
