In the year 845, the nation of Marley sent out Bertholdt, Reiner Braun, Annie Leonhart, and Marcel Galliard across the sea 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 Colossal Titan to destroy a city containing enemy troops in a sneak attack after the Cart Titan placed him in position. On the year 843, Bertholdt Hoover was chosen to inherit the power of the Colossal 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 Colossal Titan was taken by the nation of Marley during the Great Titan War. In the 1,700 years following her death, the Colossal Titan was held in the possession of one or several of the warring Eldian houses subservient to the Founding Titan. The Colossal Titan, like all the Nine Titans, was brought into the world after the death of Ymir Fritz. This was seen after the Colossal Titan appeared in Trost and in order to prevent Eren Jaeger from reaching its nape, a large quantity of steam was released, which allowed Bertholdt to climb down the wall using the 3D maneuvering gear. However, this disadvantage can be alleviated if the user is wearing ODM gear. This puts 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 is necessary, the Colossal Titan is capable of evaporating its entire body at once, disappearing instantly. However, if used frequently, it takes a toll on the Titan by gradually decreasing its muscle mass until only the skeletal structure remains. And if they are fixed to him, they will be constantly scorched by the incredible heat, at the Titan's mercy. By emitting immense amounts of steam at once, the pressure and force of the steam will burn and repel any individuals in proximity to the Colossal Titan that are not fixed in place. This power can be used for a variety of purposes.

The Colossal Titan is capable of emitting great amounts of steam at will in order to prevent anybody from reaching its nape. In normal circumstances, Titans emit steam from wounds, and their bodies evaporate completely into steam after receiving a killing blow.

The unique ability possessed by the Colossal Titan appears to be significant control over the amounts of steam emitted by the Titan form. The Colossal Titan's heavy steam emission Armin also uses the Colossal Titan's massive strength and size to ensure the destruction of the Marleyan ships and naval port by stepping on them after his transformation. It is to be noted that the arms are massively disproportionate in size to the rest of the body, likely resulting in less strength than the legs.

It is strong enough 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.

Its body mass gives it overwhelming physical strength but to compensate this, its immense size makes its movements very slow. Immense SizeĪs its name suggests, the Colossal Titan is infamous for its incredible size, standing at a previously unseen 60 meters, high enough to peer over the top of the Walls. Īrmin Arlelt also uses this ability to wipe out most of, if not all of the Marleyan naval fleet present at the Raid on Liberio in a devastating explosion, sending a tremendous wave of energy inland and destroying the port entirely. In addition, the explosive energy released from the transformation created a massive mushroom cloud of dust and rubble. However, during the Battle of Shiganshina District, Bertholdt released an amount of energy akin to a small nuclear device, which ravaged part of the district and set the surrounding area on fire, along with killing a great number of Scout Regiment soldiers. For instance, when Bertholdt Hoover attacked Trost, his transformation only caused a wind blast which knocked some cadets over the Wall. Its holder can control the energy produced during their transformation to create various effects. The Colossal Titan's explosive transformationĪlthough all Titans generate enormous amounts of heat and energy when transforming, the Colossal Titan takes this to the next level.
