titan is the founding titan, who is able to see all memories from past and future holders, and the attack titan, who is able to travel through time Eren is currently in possession of both of these, as well as the jaw titan, making him the most powerful titan also known as the king of titans, as Kronos is king of titans

Similarities can also be seen between norse giant Ymir and titan Ymir Nordic Ymir, also known as Aurgelmir, was a frost giant and the first being created when ice from melted and those few drops of water from Niflheim met with the heat of Muspelheim. Ymir is often seen as evil according to current morals, however the concept of good and evil is not very prominent in Norse mythology so he would likely not have been seen as a villain to the Vikings, however most people nowadays would call his actions wrong Isayama’s Ymir was the first titan and the original founding titan, she became a titan by accident when she fell into a pool of liquid, there a spine like creature fused with her and she became this first titan. Ymir was not evil towards the beginning of her being a titan, however as she went on, she got too overwhelmed with her power and began turning evil Their similarities are them both being the first of their kind, AOT Ymir being the first titan and Norse mythology

Ymir being the overall first being They also were both evil, by current standards Another resemblance between them is, they were both murdered, the giant by Odin, Villi and Ve, Norse gods while the titan was killed by a man called Porto Galliard

In summary, I have discussed the similarities between GraecoRoman and Norse mythologies versus Attack On Titan We do not know whether Isayama meant these references or whether they were simply coincidences, however since there are lots, it seems intensional
