Confused

Can someone explain to me how Zeke's royal blood works? From my understanding, eldians that ingest his spinal fluids becomes titans under his control. So when Zeke tells Falco to specifically kill Reiner, why does Falco go for jaws when he was so close to accomplishing Zeke's orders? All he had to do was put a little more bite to it. More like plot armor titan... (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

    zeke can control the titans thanks to his spinal fluids but that doesn't mean that he has absolute control over them, remember the time when zeke tells one of the titans not to eat a soldier (from levi squad) but the titan doesn't obey so seke has to kill him. The power that zeke has over the titan is limited and more so when he is in his human form and wounded, titans are beast and they follow their instinct, in this case would be to eat, and the jaw titan was already out of the titan while reinder was still inside

    omg! I had to find that chapter again to re-read and it was such an insignificant scene at the time, you have amazing memory. I guess I'm just getting frustrated that Reiner keeps surviving, but just barely. With all of Reiner's character growth, I would have been satisfied if he'd finally die. Whereas I'd have loved to see jaw's reaction when reiner dies and have an existential crisis that being a chosen warrior sucks and by being the next jaws he basically spat all over his brother's sacrifice, this whole cycle of hate is dumb, and his rivalry that he had with reiner in the larger scale means nothing.
