I've always thought Eren and Mikasa were pretty violent for kids. They've killed 3 guys...

There's something off about Eren.

I would've killed slavetraders if they were trying to enslave me. In the dire situation that humanity is in, I don't really see these conflicts as being unusually violent.

Yea, maybe after the fact/hindsight if you knew how things would turn out. Reminds me of that thread where op was mugged in China when he was brought into a room and do nothing but comply with letting his muggers siphon off his credit card, some posters said op was a coward and others said they would've fought back. If one was put in a similar situation? Yea maybe, if one was armed with a gun.

Besides, Eren was not being enslaved or in a dire situation until he put himself in one by confronting the slave traders.

I don't think the average 9-year-old would have as much insight or bloodthirst to piece together everything on the spot and carry out his execution plan, especially if he never killed someone before or had training, unless said 9-year-old had a death wish (which Eren's father was angry about). Eren even used his age as an advantage to throw off the slave traders. If put on the spot, I'd think a normal child would be more inclined to listen to his father and wait for the authorities, or be paralyzed with fear in the presence of known murderers. Instead, Eren decides to carry out his own brand of vigilante justice by actively seeking out the slave traders and flat out murders them. If he was always capable of this much insight, planning, and brutality, he probably wouldn't be losing to local bullies and have Mikasa intervening with judo throws.

Those aren't your average 9-year-old's eyes. Something snapped or was triggered.

Just read the chapter for the 3rd time. Pretty amazing chapter, especially love the moment between Mikasa and Eren... Poor Hannes tries his best to avenge his guilt, and humanity's hope shows itself.

there are others on the "enemy" side that can use it, as the long armed monkey can (who also seems stronger and larger than eren anyway). what would happen if they both tried to use it?

I dont like the power up at all. Now its going to be I cant control the power and he needs a desprate moment to activate it again. Its like the easy way to grant the main character a power up. The power its just in my option to mighty.

At the very least if Eren figures out how to use this power then he can make sure that Titans won't bother humans. That's the most important part. This struggle just became political and I'm very interested in hearing why the two titan-guys (their names are too hard to remember and spell) think that Eren shouldn't have this power. At very least, I'm thinking they were hoping that Eren would join their cause or something. I don't see them as particularly bad people, on the contrary, it's a good thing that two huge and powerful titans can be, at very least, reasoned with.
