“Ymir was capable of identifying the BT on sight, and she also had fairly clear notions of the coordinate, in that she recognized it when she saw it and appreciated its importance."
I didn't get the feeling she knew who the BT was. Just knew he was important by the look on Reiner and Bert's faces. And I always assumed that she felt the coordinate "order" when it was activated but knew nothing about it beforehand. But I could be wrong. I mean it is a bit weird that she didn't inherit ANY memories. If she knew RBA were spies, why wasn't she more on guard? I understand not saying anything about it (not really within character for her) but she was pretty laid back in her interactions with them (e.g. herring can incident) Sorry if I made a mess on the post, I have no idea how to use the comments function.
Yeah, I’m exactly in the same space as you, in that I’m unsure! Prior to the recent chapters, I had assumed that memories weren’t passed down among non-Coordinate shifters, so it didn’t even occur to me that Ymir might remember anything. I just assumed she knew things by other means, like the ones you describe. But now we are told that ALL shifters have the capability to maybe possibly get some memories (but maybe also not?? it seems random??), I’m questioning everything I thought I knew, lol.
And no worries, your comments came through perfectly fine!
