As Eren fights against Bertolt's steam and comes in for the killing blow, the Colossus Titan evaporates instantaneously. Eren attempts to strike at the Colossus Titan's nape, but Bertolt makes use of his steam emission control and prevents Eren from getting close. Before he can escape, his Colossus Titan is confronted by Eren Yeager seeking vengeance. The next day, Bertolt transforms into the Colossus Titan outside the south gate of Trost District, breaching the Wall as he did five years before. Bertolt joined his fellow surviving Warriors in entering the walled territory during the chaos.įive years after the fall of Wall Maria, Bertolt and his allies graduate from the 104th Training Corps. Using his immense size, Bertolt's Colossus Titan breached Wall Maria in one kick, allowing for the many Titans awaiting outside to enter into Eldia's territory. The Colossus Titan appears over Shiganshinaīertolt transformed into the Colossus Titan outside the southern gate of Shiganshina District, the southernmost territory of Eldia. In the year 845, the nation of Marley sent out Bertolt, Reiner Braun, Annie Leonhart, and Marcel Galliard across the ocean to Paradis Island as the start of the Paradis Island Operation. He would later make use of his Titan form in a war between Marley and an enemy nation, using his Colossus Titan to destroy a city containing enemy troops in a sneak attack after the Cart Titan placed him in position. Īround the year 843, Bertolt Hoover was chosen to inherit the power of the Colossus Titan. After these seventeen centuries when Karl Fritz, the 145th King of the Fritz family, abandoned the conflicts of Eldia and relocated to Paradis Island, the Colossus Titan was taken by the nation of Marley during the Great Titan War. In the 1,700 years following her death, the Colossus Titan was held in the possession of one or several of the warring Eldian houses subservient to the Founding Titan. The Colossus Titan, like all the Nine Titans, was brought into the world after the death of Ymir Fritz. However, this disadvantage could be alleviated if the user was wearing vertical maneuvering equipment. This did put the user in a position of great vulnerability, with no way of preventing a fall from a great height where the Titan form once was. In some cases when it was necessary, the Colossus Titan was capable of evaporating its entire body at once, disappearing instantly. Prolonged use of this ability also took a toll on the Titan, decreasing its muscle mass gradually until only the skeletal structure remains. However, usage of this ability rendered the Titan's muscles immobile. And if they were fixed to him, they would be constantly roasted by the heat, at the Titan's mercy. By emitting great amounts of steam at once, the pressure and force of the steam would burn and repel any individuals in close proximity to the Colossus Titan that were not fixed in place. This power could be used for a variety of purposes.
However, the Colossus Titan was capable of emitting great amounts of steam at will. In normal circumstances, Titans emitted steam from wounds while regenerating, and their bodies would evaporate completely into steam after receiving a killing blow. The unique ability possessed by the Colossus Titan appears to have been significant control over the amounts of steam emitted by its Titan body. Armin also used the Colossus Titan's immense strength and size to ensure the destruction of the Marleyan ships and naval port by stepping on them after his transformation.
It also possessed incredible physical strength, able to destroy the outer gate of Wall Maria with a single kick, launch entire houses in the air, and send Eren's Attack Titan flying from the ground to the top of Wall Maria. Like it's name suggests, the Colossus Titan was infamous for its incredible size, standing at a previously unseen 60 meters and being tall enough to peer over the top of the Walls. Armin Arlert also used this ability to wipe out most of, if not all of the Marleyan naval fleet present at the Raid on Liberio in a tremendous explosion sending a massive wave of energy inland. However, during the Battle of Shiganshina District, Bertolt released a much larger explosion, creating a mushroom cloud of dust and rubble, ravaging part of the city, and killing a great number of Survey Corps soldiers. For instance, when Bertolt attacked Trost District his transformation only causes a wind blast that knocked some trainees over the Wall. Its users could control the energy produced during their transformation to create various effects. Bertolt transforms in Shiganshina DistrictĪlthough all Titans generated enormous amounts of heat and energy when transforming, the Colossus Titan took this to the next level.
