"Attack on Titan" is undeniably one of the more popular mangas around, spawning not only a television anime show but also a two-parter live action film. The saga continues, though, as fans look forward to Chapter 75. 

"Attack on Titan" Chapter 75 seems to be headed toward exploring more of the Beast Titan's powers. Little is known about his powers at the moment. Sure, everyone knows by now that he can speak, that he can control Titans, and that he is more powerful than the Armored Titan (Reiner Braun) and the Colossal Titan (Bertolt Hoover), but he continues to surprise readers still.

In Chapter 74, "Mission Objectives," the Beast Titan showed off another power that has hitherto remained a mystery. He came out of a smoke, joined by an army of mindless Titans. This led some readers to think that he just might have the power to turn these Titans into humans and vice-versa. How else could the smoke be explained, they said. 

In a community page for manga readers, a certain DrFabulous0 posted another reason why the theory is a viable one. He says that a power to change humans and Titans into either explains why the Survey Corps was unable to find any human at the Shiganshina District. 

With this, fans have been speculating that the particular power of the Beast Titan will finally be unveiled in Chapter 75. If that is the case, then readers might also be in for a treat, seeing him battling the Titan Shifter (Eren Yeager) as the latter would surely try and control more mindless Titans to counter an attack. 

Others, however, think that Chapter 75 might be too early to have Eren and the Beast Titan clash. Some pose Chapter 75 as a battle between Eren and Reiner first, which will eventually make Eren readier to face the Beast Titan. 

Still, others question if Bertolt will finally be back in the upcoming chapter. His absence from Chapter 74 had people wondering about his planned trap. Will Chapter 75 have Erwin Smith ready to counter any attack from Bertolt? 

These are all good questions and exciting predictions, but things should still be taken with a grain of salt. Most are picked from the minds of fans and have no basis at the moment. Stay tuned for more news on "Attack on Titan" Chapter 75's release.
