Warning! Major spoilers for Attack on Titan lie below!

If you caught up with Attack on Titan this weekend, then you watched as another major player revealed themselves to be a Titan Shifter. Eren Yeager and Annie Leonhart may have been the first soldiers to publicly share their gifts, but Ymir dropped a bomb on her comrades when she shared her secret. With death at hand for soldiers like Connie and Krista, Ymir transformed into a bloodthirsty Titan to clear a path for her friends to survive a Titan ambush. But, during the harrowing encounter, netizens noticed a sign which hints that another Titan Shifter may be hiding in their midst.

So, you've been warned!

In "Historia," fans watched as Ymir fought against a hoard of Titans which threatened to eat more of her comrades. Despite being outnumbered, the shifter fought valiantly until several Titans got their hands on her. During the bloody ordeal, Krista and others such as Bertolt and Reiner were forced to watch as Ymir was brutalized by the mindless Titans. And, during one particular jolt, fans caught a screenshot which shows Bertold doing something familiar.

Before Ymir could topple Utgard Castle in an effort to defeat the Titans, the camera panned over Bertolt and Krista on the building's roof. It was there that the latter solider was seen rallying behind Ymir, but Bertolt looked as if he was caught doing something bad. With a fist raised to his face, Bertolt looked like he was about to bite down on his hand to draw blood. And, for Attack on Titan fans, that pose means one thing.

It means someone's about to shift into a Titan.

In the anime so far, Eren has become known for shifting into a Titan by drawing blood with his teeth. The transformation can only occur when a Titan Shifter has been cut, and it seems like Bertholt was ready to display his own hidden powers to ensure everyone's survival.

If you are a fan of the manga, then you know exactly which Titan is Bertolt. In the 'Clash of the Titans' arc, readers learn that Bertolt is none other than the Colossal Titan. The boy is a secret agent from Marley who infiltrated the Survey Corps with Annie and Reiner to find the whereabouts of the Coordinate. And, in a few episodes, it seems like the Attack on Titan anime will finally make that stunning reveal for itself.

The synopsis for Attack on Titan's new season can be read here:

Eren Jaeger swore to wipe out every last Titan, but in a battle for his life he wound up becoming the thing he hates most. With his new powers, he fights for humanity's freedom facing the monsters that threaten his home. After a bittersweet victory against the Female Titan, Eren finds no time to rest—a horde of Titans is approaching Wall Rose and the battle for humanity continues!

If you are not familiar with Attack on Titan, then you should know the popular anime is renowned for its intense action and gritty storylines. The anime follows a boy named Eren Yeager in an alternate world overrun by massive creatures known as Titans.

These mindless beasts have all but wiped out humanity, and mankind is left to cower in fear behind massive walls. When their sanctum is infiltrated by a slew of Titans, Eren and his friends Armin and Mikasa join the military to help eradicate the blood-thirty monsters. But, as they grow older, they learn that the beasts are not what they appear as long-held government conspiracies make themselves known.
