1:24The story of Attack on Titan begins with a young girl named Ymir. One day,
1:30Ymir would watch helplessly as her village was raided and pillaged by the tribe known
1:35as Eldia. Head of this tribe was King Fritz, a man whose ambition was equal only to his
1:41cruelty. Without hesitation, King Fritz laid claim to the village and all of its contents,
1:47including Ymir, who, once free, became nothing more than a helpless slave.
1:53During her servitude, Ymir would stumble upon a pig pen. Looking inside the pen, she realized
1:59that, like her, the animal was trapped-destined to live its life and eventually die in service to its
2:06masters. Wishing a better life for it than she had herself, she released the pig from captivity. When
2:13King Fritz learned that Ymir was responsible for its escape, he made an example of her by releasing
2:19her into the woods where his men were ordered to hunt her down. As Ymir ran from her inevitable
2:25death, she would quickly stumble upon an ancient, towering tree. Seeking sanctity and drawn by her
2:31curiosity, she walked into the tree’s massive opening. As she entered, the uneven terrain caused
2:36her to fall uncontrollably until she landed in a body of water. Sinking to the depths,
2:43she conceded to what she thought were her last moments. That is, until she came into contact
2:49with an anomalous entity-elusive in origin and name-that would grant her it's incredible power.
2:56In doing so, she became the first ever Titan and the Foundation for all that would follow her.
3:29Despite her tremendous power, Ymir would remain a slave of King Fritz,
3:34vowing to use her abilities in any way he saw fit. Twisted as it may be,
3:39this was the result of her undying love for him-one that she likely hoped he might share
3:45if only she fulfilled his every desire. So began the age of the Eldian Empire, which,
3:51like King Fritz himself, would be defined by its limitless ambition and unending cruelty.
3:58After years of service to Eldia, King Fritz would “reward” Ymir for her acts by allowing
4:04her to bear his children. With time, she gave birth to a total of three daughters named Maria,
4:11Rose, and Sina, all the while continuing to assist Eldia expand its influence and
4:17conquer its rivals. While everything seemed to be going well, King Fritz,
4:22in his push to expand his empire, had neglected to watch his back.
4:27While attending a ceremony in celebration of Eldia’s victory against their rival civilization
4:32of Marley, King Fritz would watch as a man from the crowd launched a spear at his chest. Without
4:38hesitation, Ymir jumped in the path of the spear. Having given everything for King Fritz,
4:44including her own life at this point, Ymir decided to give herself peace in
4:49death. Having only been 13 years since she was given her Titan abilities,
4:54this death would curse all that would eventually inherit her abilities to die after only 13 years.
5:01Upon Ymir’s death, her consciousness ascended to another plane of existence. A realm where,
5:07as was her will, the memories and consciousness of all her descendants would converge in hopes
5:13that one day she might find true connection with another person. This domain, known as the Paths,
5:20existed beyond the physical world, where space and time were both infinite and instantaneous.
5:26Bound to this ethereal plane, Ymir, driven by her desire for connection
5:31and unwavering love for King Fritz, remained trapped-forever a slave to
5:37the will of any Founding Titan bearing the royal blood of the Fritz lineage.
5:42After Ymir had died, King Fritz, in a desperate attempt to retain her power,
5:47forced their three daughters Maria, Rose, and Sina to eat the remains of their mother. In doing so,
5:55her Titan power was fragmented amongst her children. Years later, Maria, Rose, and Sina,
6:01likely at the command of King Fritz, bore children of their own-giving rise to a new
6:07branch of humanity-all of which were connected to each other, through Ymir in Paths. Thus,
6:13they were dubbed the Subjects of Ymir-supreme beings in the eyes of Eldians, devils to all else.
6:21Though the specifics are unclear, it's likely that nearly 13 years after usurping their
6:26mothers power, Maria, Rose, and Sina were observed growing frail due to the Curse of Ymir. Assuming
6:33the worst, the ritual of succession was repeated, once more fragmenting Ymir’s power into a total
6:40of Nine Titans. The Colossal Titan, while far from precise, offered its users unprecedented
6:46raw physical power. The primary source of which stemmed from its large size as well as its ability
6:52to release stored heat either over a long period of time or instantaneously. The Female Titan,
6:59known for its feminine physique, excelled in adaptability, allowing its user to replicate
7:04attributes of the other Nine Titans with relative ease. The Beast Titan allowed its users to take
7:10on the physical attributes of almost any animal, giving it varying capabilities depending on the
7:16inheritor. The Armored Titan, with its highly durable hardened armor, was well suited as the
7:22primary bulwark of the Nine-providing cover and defensive capabilities. Opposed to the Armored,
7:28the Jaw Titan was purely offensive in nature, with unrivaled speed as well as claws and jaws
7:34sharp enough to cut through practically anything. Similar, yet distinct to the Jaw, was the Cart
7:39Titan. Its primary ability stemmed from its heightened endurance which allowed the user
7:44to stay in Titan form for months at a time as well as shift into a Titan in quick succession hundreds
7:50of times over. The War Hammer Titan was able to materialize constructs-likely limited only by the
7:56imagination and endurance of its user. The Attack Titan served as the catalyst of chaos amidst
8:02order-destined to buck the authority of those who sought to control it. To accomplish this goal,
8:08the Attack gave its user the unique ability to see the memories of those yet to inherit it. This gave
8:15the Attack an extremely influential advantage rivaled only by the incredible power of the
8:20last of the Nine Titans. The Founding Titan, if used to its fullest ability, was by far the most
8:26powerful of the Nine-having the ability to wield the power of the Founder Ymir herself to command,
8:33modify, and manipulate every last Subject of Ymir. Due to this, and the fact that those
8:39without royal blood couldn’t use these abilities directly, the Founding Titan remained within the
8:44control of the Fritz family while the others were given to the eight subservient Eldian families.
8:50Over the next several centuries, the Eldian Empire maintained its supremacy, using the overwhelming
8:55power of the Titans to crush any opposition. During this time, countless civilizations and
9:01cultures were eradicated-their histories erased and replaced by Eldia's narrative of dominance.
9:07Marley in particular struggled immensely during this period, barely holding on in the face of
9:13Eldia’s might. With their monopoly over the power of the Nine and unmatched military strength,
9:19the Eldian Empire reshaped the world in its image, leaving a legacy of bloodshed and
9:24fear that ensured its reign remained uncontested. Amid this relentless expansion, the Eldian Empire
9:31sought to perfect its hold on power by bridging the gap between Titans and humanity. The ultimate
9:37result was the Ackerman clan, a bloodline of humans deliberately engineered to possess abnormal
9:43strength, speed, and reflexes, activated by their survival instincts. These extraordinary abilities
9:49made the Ackermans uniquely suited for both combat and protection. As such, they were designated the
9:56"sword and shield" of the Royal Family. Tasked with guarding the King and enforcing his decrees,
10:01the Ackermanns became a vital yet tightly reigned force within Eldian society.
10:15After nearly two millennia of dominance, the Eldian Empire had grown so vast and powerful
10:21that they found themselves without enemies. Left unchallenged, though ambitious as ever, its ruling
10:27families found that the only ones left to conquer were one another. Thus, they began to look inward,
10:33vying for supremacy amongst themselves. Around the year 740, the 145th King of Eldia, Karl
10:41Fritz, deeply ashamed of his nation’s pathetic state as well as their long history of conquest
10:46and atrocities, devised a plan to bring his nation to its knees. To achieve this, he secretly allied
10:53with the influential Tyber family, the owners of the War Hammer Titan who shared in Fritz’ shame.
10:59Together, they fabricated a legend of a Marleyan hero named "Helos," who had exacerbated the Eldian
11:05in-fighting, opening an opportunity for the rest of the world to cripple the empire for good.
11:10As the legend of Helos spread and his empire began to collapse, Karl Fritz,
11:15knowing he could never atone for the sins of his ancestors, fled Eldia with the remnants of
11:20the Fritz Royal Family, along with some of those belonging to the Ackermann and Azumabito clans,
11:26to an isolated piece of Eldian territory known as Paradis Island. This retreat left
11:31the empire’s eight other noble houses to fend for themselves. In the ensuing power vacuum,
11:37civil war erupted across the empire, resulting in widespread devastation and weakening Eldia's
11:43control over its territories. With the tale of Helos widespread, Marley,
11:48inspired by their great hero, allied with the Tyber family to launch a large-scale revolution
11:54to overthrow their former oppressors. This marked the climactic turning-point
11:59in what would become known as the Great Titan War. During the Great Titan War, Marley would
12:05systematically gain control of seven of the Nine Titans, including the Colossal, Armored, Beast,
12:12Female, Jaw, Cart, and Attack Titans. With each new Titan, they solidified their growing
12:17supremacy, allowing them to finally put an end to Eldia’s two thousand year reign. By this point,
12:24Marley had miraculously transformed itself from an oppressed nation into the dominant global
12:30superpower. Yet, much like Eldia, once Marley got a taste of power they began implementing
12:36the very tactics Eldia imposed on them to keep themselves dominant. To justify this conquest,
12:42Marley propagated the tale that Ymir Fritz, the first Titan, had attained her powers by making
12:48a pact with the so-called "Devil of All Earth." According to their narrative, Helos had vanquished
12:54the devil during the Great Titan War, framing Marley as the saviors of humanity who had not
12:59just won a war-they had slain the devil itself. Meanwhile, on Paradis Island, Karl Fritz used
13:06the power of the Founding Titan to summon tens of millions of Colossal Titans, encasing them
13:11in three concentric walls named Maria, Rose, and Sina, in honor of Ymir Fritz's three daughters. To
13:18protect his people from the horrors of the outside world and to shield them from Eldia’s past sins,
13:24Karl used the Founder's power to erase the memories of all the Subjects of Ymir within
13:28the walls. This created a society ignorant of their true history, living under the illusion
13:34that Titans had mysteriously appeared and destroyed most of humanity. Much like the
13:39story of Helos for the Marleyans, this fabricated history became the bedrock of their culture,
13:44passed down as undisputed truth over the coming generations. However, not all were affected by the
13:50memory erasure. The Ackerman and Azumabito clans, resistant and/or immune to the Founder's power,
13:57retained their memories which made them targets of relentless persecution for nearly a century.
14:03Following Marley’s victory over Eldia, Karl Fritz, fearing immediate retaliation, issued a
14:09grim warning to the world: if Paradis Island were provoked in any way, the millions of Titans within
14:15the walls would be unleashed, flattening the Earth and everyone on it. In reality, Fritz had no
14:22intention of releasing the Wall Titans or engaging in warfare of any form. He simply wanted to give
14:28those within the walls a time of short-lived peace. To ensure that this ideology was upheld,
14:33Fritz used the Founder's power to bind his successors with a vow renouncing war. This
14:39vow ensured that as long as the Founding Titan remained with a Eldian of royal blood, it could
14:44not be used to wage war or retaliate in any way. Karl confided this secret to the Tyber family,
14:51entrusting them to share the truth if the time ever came to reconcile with the outside world.
14:57The threat of this so-called “Rumbling” proved effective, and the Great Titan War came to a
15:02definitive end, leaving Marley in control of the larger continent and Eldia confined to Paradis.
15:08Though the war was over, Marley’s thirst for vengeance remained unsatisfied. Having endured
15:14nearly 2,000 years of Eldian domination, they could not simply forgive their former
15:19oppressors. However, they also could not eliminate the Subjects of Ymir entirely, as their existence
15:25was essential for maintaining the power of the Titans. Faced with this dilemma, Marley
15:29enslaved the remaining Eldians, branding them as descendants of the devil itself and burdening them
15:35with collective guilt for Eldia’s past atrocities. Within a single generation, Marley successfully
15:42reshaped Eldians into second-class citizens, forced to live in designated internment zones
15:47and serve the Marleyan state however it saw fit. Destined to live out their existence in
15:52servitude and shame, ensuring they would never again rise to challenge Marley’s supremacy.
15:58Nearly 13 years after inheriting the power of the Founder, Karl Fritz, in an effort to conceal the
16:04identity of the true royal bloodline, adopted the surname Reiss and installed a puppet royal family
16:10to rule Paradis publicly. This veil allowed the Reiss family to operate from the shadows,
16:16ensuring the Founder's power remained with them in the event of a civil uprising. Afterwards,
16:21Karl Fritz, likely just before succumbing to the Curse of Ymir, used the Founder's abilities
16:27to construct a hidden underground chamber, designed specifically for the Titan succession
16:32ritual. This ritual ensured that the Founding Titan, along with Karl’s vow renouncing war,
16:37would be passed down through the generations, preserving his perfect vision of peace.
16:42Around the year 780, nearly three decades after the Great Titan War,
16:47a young peasant girl was selected by a group of cultists to serve as the representative
16:52of their deity, the Founder Ymir. As such, they renamed this young girl Ymir. For years,
16:59she lived under this false divinity, until they were caught by the authorities. When confronted,
17:04Ymir, having fully embraced the lie she had been told, proclaimed that the blood of Ymir
17:09Fritz flowed through her veins. As punishment for their heresy, she and the cultists were exiled to
17:16Paradis, where they were forced to live out their lives as Pure Titans. Stripped of her identity and
17:21humanity, Ymir was destined to wander the island as a mindless Titan for the next six decades.
17:35In 817, a young Eldian boy named Grisha Jaeger took his sister, Faye, beyond the Liberio
17:41internment zone to watch an airship take-off. In doing so, they were caught by a Public
17:46Security Officer named Krueger, who offered the two of them their choice of punishment:
17:51hard labor or a quick beating. To shield Faye from being reprimanded for what had ultimately been his
17:57actions, Grisha accepted both he and his sister’s punishments. While Grisha endured his beating,
18:03Krueger’s partner, Gross, claimed he would escort Faye home. Instead, he took her to a
18:08remote riverbank where she was fed to a pack of dogs. Gross viewed this act with twisted
18:14curiosity because to him, Eldians were little more than vermin, who, if given the chance,
18:19would do the exact same to him, if not, worse. The next morning, Faye’s mutilated body was
18:26discovered along the riverbank. Public Security launched an investigation into the matter,
18:31however this was nothing more than a token gesture given her Eldian heritage. Afterwards,
18:36Gross himself delivered the inconclusive results to the Jaegers, claiming she must
18:41have gotten lost on her way home. Though Grisha couldn’t prove it, he knew in his heart that
18:46this was yet another lie fed to them by Marley. Throughout the next seven years, Grisha, following
18:52in his fathers footsteps, would practice medicine. Once he became a practicing doctor, Grisha would
18:57be sought out by Grice, a member of the Eldian Restorationists. As soon as they met, Grice
19:03confirmed Grisha’s long-held suspicion: Faye’s death had been no accident but a calculated act
19:09of cruelty by Gross. Fueled by anger and newfound purpose, Grisha joined the Restorationists, vowing
19:16to liberate his people as a true Patriot of Eldia. Over the coming months, the Eldian Restorationists
19:22unearthed documents they believed vindicated Eldia’s past as a prosperous nation opposed to
19:28a tyrannical empire. That same night, the group's anonymous informant, “the Owl,” introduced them
19:34to Dina Fritz, the last remaining descendant of Eldian royalty within Marley. Wasting no time,
19:41Dina informed them of a few vital truths, including the location of the Founding Titan
19:46and Karl Fritz’s vow renouncing war. Using this knowledge, the Restorationists hatched a plan
19:52to reclaim the Founding Titan and restore Eldia to power. Amid their shared struggle and cooperation,
19:59Grisha and Dina fell in love. A year later, they welcomed their son, Zeke,
20:03who they saw as the embodiment of Eldia’s future. Around this time, a young boy named Erwin Smith
20:11began questioning the history taught in his school. When he shared his doubts with his
20:15teacher, who was also his father, he was met with evasive answers. However, when they went home,
20:21Erwin’s father revealed the truth-that the government issued history books they were
20:25given were full of contradictions and unsolved mysteries. This, in turn, led him to conclude
20:30that the history they were taught was being purposefully obscured. He concluded their lecture
20:35with a theory, one that he had no way of proving but that all the evidence pointed towards-that
20:41the first King of the Walls, Karl Reiss, somehow altered the memories of those inside the Walls.
20:48Fascinated, Erwin shared this revelation to his fellow classmates, most of whom dismissed him
20:53entirely. Soon enough, the theory attracted the attention of the First Interior Police who quickly
20:59learned that Erwin’s father was the source of his information. Later that night, Erwin’s father was
21:05found dead-killed by a “freak accident”, or so Erwin was told. Though Erwin couldn’t prove it,
21:11he knew that the government killed his father which proved to him more than anything else that
21:16he was on the verge of uncovering the truth. To honor his father and satiate his own curiosity,
21:22Erwin would dedicate his life to learning the truth and proving his father correct.
21:27A few years later, Kenny Ackermann, a notorious criminal from the Underground, was given a tip
21:33that the Reiss family was the true royal family and therefore responsible for the persecution of
21:38the Ackermanns. Fueled by rage, Kenny tracked down, and attempted to assassinate Uri Reiss,
21:44but his plans fell apart when Uri transformed into the Founding Titan. To Kenny’s astonishment, Uri,
21:50compelled by the empathetic will of Karl Fritz, apologized for the suffering inflicted upon the
21:56Ackermanns and released Kenny unharmed. Stunned by this act of grace, Kenny pledged loyalty
22:02to the Reiss family, earning a place in the elite ranks of the First Interior Squad and,
22:07at least in-part, restoring the Ackermann position as the protector of the king.
22:12It was likely around this time that Kenny’s sister, Kuchel, began working in a brothel
22:17in the Underground. It was through this work that she became pregnant and eventually gave
22:22birth to a boy, who was named Levi. Years later, Kenny used his position in the Interior to track
22:28down his long-lost sister, only to discover that she had already passed away. Though he had never
22:34known Levi, Kenny decided to take the malnourished boy in, teaching him survival skills in the harsh
22:40conditions of the Underground. Under Kenny’s tutelage, Levi, despite his stunted growth,
22:45became a formidable fighter and eventually learned to rely on himself. Yet, when Kenny
22:48realized that Levi no longer needed a mentor but a father, he chose to walk away, believing
22:53himself incapable of fulfilling that role. Around the time Kenny joined the First Interior
22:59Squad, Marley, wary of becoming obsolete in the face of technological and military advancements,
23:04began preparing for the Paradis Island Operation. This mission aimed to deploy a select few of
23:10the Nine Titans to infiltrate Paradis, seize the Founding Titan, and exploit the island’s untapped
23:16resources. Success, however, hinged on recruiting the most skilled and capable warriors. To achieve
23:22this, Marley established the Warrior Program, a rigorous regimen to train Subjects of Ymir
23:28from a young age to inherit the power of the Titans. When the Owl informed Grisha of this
23:33development, the Restorationists’ hopes of securing the Founding Titan grew even dimmer,
23:39as they had to compete against Marley’s vast resources. Desperate, Grisha and Dina saw only
23:44one path forward: they pressured their son, Zeke, to join the Warrior Program. But simply
23:50joining wasn’t enough. For Eldia’s future to survive, Zeke had to excel. He had to be faster,
23:57stronger, and more capable than any of his peers. It's no surprise that a burden as
24:03heavy as the future of an entire nation would crush someone as young and unprepared as Zeke.
24:09During his Warrior training, Zeke, weighed down by the expectations placed upon him by
24:14both Marley and his parents, grew increasingly disillusioned with purpose behind his efforts.
24:20It wasn’t until he met Tom Ksaver, the inheritor of the Beast Titan, that he found
24:25both relief and purpose. Unlike others who sought to manipulate or mold him to serve their agendas,
24:31Ksaver took a genuine interest in Zeke himself, seeking to understand the boy behind the Warrior
24:37facade. Over the following weeks, Zeke began meeting with Ksaver regularly, bonding over
24:42games of catch and deep conversations. Ksaver, who was not built for the battlefield himself,
24:47confided in Zeke that his true passion lay in uncovering the mysteries of the Titans-their
24:53origins, their powers, and the hidden potential of their abilities. For the first time in his life,
24:59Zeke had finally considered a future beyond living solely for others' expectations-that
25:04he could find his own path forward. Following this revelation, Zeke overheard
25:09a group of Marleyan officers discussing their progress hunting down the Eldian Restorationists.
25:14Terrified for his parents’ safety, Zeke pleaded for his parents to abandon their mission, scared
25:19that if they continued, they would all be sent to Paradis. Grisha, enraged, berated Zeke for failing
25:25to understand the importance of their cause and the sacrifices required to achieve it. Seeking
25:31guidance, Zeke turned to the one person he trusted to look after him, Ksaver. Calmly, Ksaver advised
25:37Zeke that if his parents’ arrest was inevitable, he could at least save himself by turning them in.
25:43With a heavy heart, Zeke reported his parents and the other Restorationists to Marleyan authorities.
25:49They were then subsequently convicted of treason, possession of forbidden Eldian texts, and
25:54conspiracy to overthrow the Marleyan government. Like most Subjects of Ymir, their punishment was
26:00exile to Paradis, where they were to live out the rest of their lives as mindless Titans.
26:05On Paradis, Grisha discovered his executioners were none other than Krueger and Gross, the same
26:11men who had caught him and his sister outside of Liberio 15 years earlier. After forcing the Eldian
26:17Restorationists to transform into mindless Titans, they brought Dina forward to suffer the same grim
26:23fate, turning her into what became known as the Smiling Titan. As Grisha watched in despair as
26:30his wife was practically killed in front of him, Gross turned his sadistic attention toward him,
26:35taunting and toying with him before his execution. However, before Gross could act,
26:40Krueger intervened, shoving Gross to his death. Finally revealing himself as the Owl, Krueger
26:46transformed into the Attack Titan, unleashing its immense power to annihilate the Marleyan
26:51soldiers and free Grisha. When he emerged from his Titan form, Krueger revealed his full name
26:57was Eren Krueger, and that he had shaped Grisha’s life from a young age for one pivotal purpose:
27:04to inherit the Attack Titan and use it to secure the Founding Titan from Paradis. This,
27:09Krueger insisted, was the only way to end Paradis’s ignorance and restore Eldia to its
27:15former glory. With no choice but to accept the immense responsibility thrust upon him, Grisha
27:21allowed Krueger to inject him with Titan serum. As a Pure Titan, Grisha devoured Krueger, usurping
27:27the power and responsibility of the Attack Titan. Though his memories were hazy, Grisha managed
27:32to wander to the edge of Wall Maria, near the Shiganshina District. There, he was discovered
27:37by a Scout named Keith Shadis, who, unaware of Grisha’s true identity or origin, took him under
27:43his wing. Over time, Keith introduced Grisha to life inside the Walls, allowing him to live as
27:49an ordinary man while his memories gradually returned. When they did, he followed Kruger’s
27:55advice and once more began practicing medicine. As he did so, an epidemic swept across Shiganshina.
28:01Using his advanced medical knowledge, Grisha practically single-handedly cured the district.
28:07It was during this time that he met Carla, a compassionate and resilient woman who Grisha
28:13fell deeply in love with. Following Kruger’s guidance once more, Grisha embraced his new life,
28:19leading him to eventually marry Carla and start a family. About a year later, Grisha and Carla
28:25brought a son into the world. Seeing this child as the symbol of his new beginning, Grisha named him
28:30after the man who gave him this second chance. Though he dedicated himself to being a partner
28:38and father, Grisha never stopped searching for the Founding Titan, forging relationships with
28:43high-ranking officials to uncover its location. A year or two after Eren was born, Grisha would find
28:49the Reiss Family Chapel. Instead of immediately securing the Founder, however, Grisha decided
28:55that he would not repeat the mistakes he made in the past-that he would put his family before
28:59his mission and wait until the absolute last moment before he would do what was necessary.
29:05About half a decade later, in 842, Uri Reiss, close to succumbing to the Curse of Ymir, would
29:11look to pass the power of the Founder to another in his family. Given that his brother, Rod Reiss,
29:17was unwilling to take the power, the Founding Titan was passed to Rod’s daughter, Freida Reiss.
29:22By this point, the Warrior Program had narrowed its search to seven primary candidates. These
29:28candidates were: Zeke Jaeger, Reiner Braun, Bertholdt Hoover, Annie Leonhart,
29:33Marcel Galliard, his younger brother Porco, and Pieck Finger. Of these seven candidates,
29:39only six would be chosen to inherit a Titan. In doing so, they would be given the status
29:44of honorary Marleyan. This fact in particular was of note to a young Reiner, whose Marleyan father
29:50was absent in his life. Though irrational, he felt that if he could become an Marleyan
29:55in status that his father might finally want to join his family. With that, he held himself to the
30:01highest standard, hoping that it would give him the strength necessary to become a true Warrior.
30:06While playing a game of catch, Ksaver confided in Zeke that the Founding Titan
30:11possessed the ability to alter the biology of the Subjects of Ymir. Inspired by this revelation,
30:16Zeke devised a plan to use the Founder's power to render all Eldians incapable of bearing children,
30:22believing this so-called “euthanization” would bring a peaceful end to the cycle of suffering
30:28they and their ancestors had inflicted upon the world. Ksaver, weary of the endless bloodshed
30:33wrought by their people, saw Zeke’s proposal as a noble solution to an otherwise intractable
30:39problem. With renewed purpose, Zeke devoted himself to inheriting Ksaver’s Beast Titan,
30:44determined to carry out their shared vision. As Ksaver approached the end of his term as
30:48the Beast Titan, he entrusted Zeke with his power, Zeke, in turn,
30:52vowed to honor his mentor’s legacy by dedicating his life to ending millennia of needless war.
30:59Around this same time, a young boy named Armin Arlert read a book that detailed the environment
31:04of the outside world. Fascinated by its contents, he showed it to his best friend, Eren. Out of
31:10everything in the book, one thing stood out to the both of them-something called the sea. From
31:15what the book said, it seemed to be a body of salt-water that spanned as far as the eye could
31:20see. Upon learning of this, Eren and Armin would make a pact. No matter how dangerous it was or how
31:26long it would take, one day they would reach the sea together. From the moment they made that pact,
31:32Eren’s world was forever changed. From then on, he would feel the need to escape the confines of
31:38Walls-to take back the freedom that he felt had been stolen from them. Soon afterwards,
31:44Armin’s parents attempted to leave the bounds of the Walls using a hot air balloon. In the
31:48midst of their great escape, they were killed by the First Interior Squad who staged their deaths
31:53to look like an accident. With his parents gone, Armin was taken in by his grandfather.
31:58During this same period, a young girl named Historia, the illegitimate child of Rod Reiss,
32:04was secluded to a farm alongside her mother, Alma. Hoping to avoid her responsibilities,
32:09Alma would distance herself from her daughter, which would have destined Historia to a life
32:14of inadequacy and struggle if not for Freida, Historia’s half-sister. Despite
32:19her responsibilities as the true Queen, Freida would regularly find time to visit Historia,
32:25giving her the life she deserved. Yet, every time she left, Historia’s memories of Freida
32:30would be wiped from her mind using the Founder’s abilities. When Freida would inevitably return,
32:36the memories of her sister would be restored, allowing her to gradually
32:40grow into the caring and intelligent girl Freida knew Historia could become.
32:44With the Paradis Island Operation soon to commence, Marley began their final crucial
32:49rounds of Warrior training. Reiner, aware that he was lagging behind, worked even harder than
32:55before, all towards the goal of rebuilding his family. Meanwhile, Annie Leonhart,
33:00his fellow Warrior candidate, would train at the behest of her adopted father, becoming highly
33:05proficient in the martial arts of his homeland. Like many of the Warrior candidate’s parents,
33:10he did this not for her own protection but because he saw her as his sole ticket to a better life.
33:16After rigorous training, Bartender Hoover, Annie Leonhart, Marcel Galliard, Pieck Finger,
33:23and Reiner Braun were selected as Marley’s elite Warriors. Marcel’s quick thinking earned
33:29him the Jaw Titan, Pieck’s endurance made her a natural fit for the Cart,
33:33Annie’s sharp adaptability secured her the Female, Burger King, tame enough to handle such unwieldy
33:38power, was chosen as the Colossal. Reiner’s seemingly unwavering resolve won him the Armor.
33:45The following year, a woman from the Underground named Isabel Magnolia, in an act of compassion,
33:51attempted to escape the Underground to free a trapped bird. Pursued by authorities,
33:56she eventually stumbled upon Levi and his friend, Furlon Church, who shielded her from
34:00capture and welcomed her into their group. Over time, Levi and Furlan taught Isabel
34:05to wield one of their stolen sets of ODM Gear, turning her into a skilled and dependable ally.
34:11Eventually, they attracted the attention of Counselor Nicholas Lovof, who approached them
34:16with an opportunity. In exchange for a life on the surface, he asked for their hand in stealing
34:21a document from Erwin Smith that Lovof knew could incriminate him for his corrupt dealings
34:26with the Military Police. When the job was complete they were ordered to assassinate
34:30Erwin in any way they saw fit. After revealing the proposal, Lovof warned that the Scouts were
34:36already closing in on them. Using this as an opportunity, he suggested they demonstrate their
34:41skills to the Scouts knowing that Erwin would likely try to recruit them. Not long after,
34:46Erwin led a group of Scouts into the Underground, apprehending Levi, Furlan, and Isabel. Recognizing
34:52their exceptional ODM skills, Erwin offered them a place in the Scout Regiment. Semi-reluctantly, the
34:58trio agreed and began training with the Scouts. While the recruits trained, Erwin finalized his
35:04revolutionary Scouting formation, designed to evade Titans rather than confront them directly
35:10during expeditions beyond Wall Maria. Putting this to the test, the formation was to be used during
35:15the 23rd Recon Mission, which Levi, Furlon, and Isabel would partake in. During the expedition,
35:21a storm threw the formation into chaos, leading to the deaths of Furlan and Isabel. When the
35:27storm cleared, Levi, devastated by the loss of his friends, confronted Erwin, revealing his original
35:33mission to kill him. Erwin, who had suspected this all along, once again offered Levi a choice:
35:40fulfill his contract and kill him, or honor the sacrifices of Furlan and Isabel by continuing to
35:46fight with the Scouts and eradicate the Titan threat. Struck by Erwin’s nobility and vision,
35:52Levi vowed to dedicate his heart to Erwin’s cause. That same year, while awaiting the arrival of
35:58their doctor, Grisha Jaeger, the Ackermann household was invaded by a trio of criminals.
36:04Their plan was to abduct the young girl, Mikasa, and her mother due to their Eastern heritage as
36:09direct descendants of the Azumabito clan. When Mikasa’s mother fought fiercely to
36:14protect her daughter, she was killed in the struggle. Mikasa, left as the only survivor,
36:19was then taken to a secluded cabin. Soon after, Grisha and Eren discovered the aftermath of the
36:24home invasion. While Grisha rushed to get help, Eren, filled with anger and determination,
36:30decided to search for Mikasa on his own. Tracking her to the nearby cabin, he managed to ambush and
36:36stab two of the criminals to death before being overpowered by the third. Desperate for help,
36:41Eren called out to Mikasa, urging her to fight for her life. In that critical moment, Mikasa’s
36:47latent Ackerman instincts awakened, granting her the incredible strength needed to kill the
36:53last attacker and save them both. Later that day, Grisha found the two of them outside the cabin.
36:58Though grateful for their safety, Grisha scolded Eren for his reckless behavior. Afterwards, Eren,
37:04wanting to comfort his new friend, gave Mikasa his scarf, which she silently vowed to keep with
37:09her at all times. Grisha, realizing Mikasa had no home to return to, decided to take her in,
37:16welcoming her to join their family in the heart of the Shiganshina District.
37:33In 845, shortly before the Paradis Island Operation officially commenced,
37:38Annie’s father would confess to her that in their years training together he had grown to
37:42see her as a true daughter, apologizing for his cruel actions and asking her to promise
37:47she would return. This moment forever changed Annie, giving her a reason to return to Marley
37:53after their mission was accomplished. Afterwards, the Marleyan Military celebrated their benchmark
37:59success by parading the Warriors through the street. It was during this celebration that Reiner
38:04spotted his father. As an honorary Marleyan, he attempted to earn his father’s attention,
38:09only to be rejected despite his accomplishments. Soon after, Reiner, Annie, Burrito, and Marcel
38:16were shipped off to Paradis. As their ship left port, Reiner, wounds of rejection still fresh,
38:23reasoned that if becoming a Warrior wasn’t enough then he would have to go one step
38:28further. He would go to Paradis and do what he was chosen to do-cleanse the island of devils.
38:36Just days after arriving on Paradis, and the day before they were to attack Wall Maria, the
38:41Warriors began discussing the repercussions for what they were planning to do. Marcel, unclear of
38:47what the future held for them, revealed to Reiner that the only reason he was chosen over Porco was
38:53because he had recommended Reiner to save his brother. This shattered Reiner’s world-wiping
38:59away what little confidence he had left. The next morning, as the Warriors prepared to leave
39:04their camp, Ymir, who had been on Paradis for six decades at this point, emerged from the ground and
39:11ate Marcel. In doing so, she inherited the power of the Jaw Titan, turning her back to normal.
39:18When the other Warriors reached safety, Annie and Battlepass decided that with their leader,
39:22Marcel, gone, the best course of action was to go back to Marley. Reiner,
39:27knowing that his Armor would be stripped from him if he returned, reasoned that they couldn’t
39:32go back empty handed or they would all be seen as failures–stripping them of their Titans and
39:37their families of what little comfort they earned them. Still thinking their best course of action
39:42was retreat, Annie attempted to leave. Just then, Reiner grabbed her, stating that if they
39:48were abandoning the mission because they didn’t have Marcel then he was going to have to fill
39:53his shoes. He would once more push himself further than ever before to become the leader they needed.
39:59Assuming his position immediately, his first order was to continue the mission and breach Wall Maria.
40:06Meanwhile, the Scout Regiment conducted yet another Recon Mission. When the
40:10mission went sideways, as was unfortunately common,
40:13the Scouts were forced to retreat back to Wall Maria. During this same time,
40:17Eren and Mikasa were tasked with collecting firewood around Shiganshina. As they did so,
40:22Eren would take a nap at the tree he, Mikasa, and Armin would frequent. While in his innocent nap,
40:28Eren was implanted with visions of what was to come by his future self. When he awoke, however,
40:34the memories instantly slipped away, becoming nothing more than a hazy, forgotten dream.
40:40When the scouts returned from their expedition, Eren, driven to become a Scout himself,
40:45rushed to witness their arrival. Despite the overwhelming show of devastation, Eren remained
40:50determined to become a Scout in order to free them from the solitude of the Walls. In contrast, this
40:56devastating loss was the final straw for Commander Keith Shadis who solemnly elected to step down
41:02from his position, allowing Erwin to take his place as the 13th Commander of the Scout Regiment.
41:08When Eren and Mikasa returned home, Mikasa revealed Erens desire to join the Scouts to
41:13his mother. Both Grisha and Carla were opposed to this, yet, Grisha, on his way to secure the
41:19Founding Titan and aware of what was about to happen thanks to the memories given to him by
41:24Future Eren via the Attack Titan’s powers, assured Carla that she need not worry. He then showed Eren
41:30the key to the cellar, noting that when he got back he would show him what he was working on.
41:36While Grisha left to secure the Founder, Eren and Mikasa rescued
41:39Armin from a group of bullies. Meanwhile, on the other side of Wall Maria, Billboard,
41:44following through with Reiner’s plan, transformed into the Colossal Titan.
42:04After breaching Wall Maria, Butterfly would leave his Titan form only to be confronted
42:09by the Smiling Titan. Frozen by fear, Bowling ball accepted his fate. Unbeknownst to him,
42:15Future Eren, wielding the power of the Founding Titan, would use his power to
42:20command the Smiling Titan, his half-mother, away from Batman and toward his own mother,
42:26kickstarting the very events that had shaped him into the monster he was.
42:31Amidst the chaos, Armin would travel to safety while Eren and Mikasa went home where they
42:36found Carla trapped in rubble. Willing to sacrifice herself to save her children,
42:40she pleaded for her children to leave her behind. Unable to save her, Hannes, a family friend and a
42:46soldier of the Garrison, grabbed the kids and ran to safety-leaving Carla to be eaten by the Smiling
42:52Titan. While Eren and Mikasa were transported to safety, Reiner would use the power of the Armored
42:57Titan to break through the interior of Wall Maria, exposing millions more to the threat
43:02of the Titans in an effort to flush out the Founder. In response this, the Central
43:06Government declared the outlier districts a lost cause and ordered a full retreat to Wall Rose.
43:13Later that day, Grisha confronted the Royal Family beneath the Reiss Family Chapel. In
43:18this confrontation, he begged Freida to use her power to stop the attack on Wall Maria. However,
43:24Grisha knew that this was a meaningless attempt at resolution for he had seen glimpses of Eren’s
43:30memories of the future. A future that called upon him to end the Reiss Family in order to
43:36save Eldia. But as Grisha raised his scalpel to fulfill his ultimate duty,
43:41he found he could not bring himself, a reformed man of peace, to murder innocent children in the
43:47name of salvation. As Grisha cowered in fear, he suddenly felt the presence of a man who resembled
43:54his son. But this was not the innocent child he had raised, he was the avatar of his sins,
44:00a monster who called upon him to carry out his will. To kill all but Rod Reiss and secure the
44:08power of the Founding Titan. Eren’s will surging through his veins, Grisha plunged the scalpel
44:15into his hand, transforming into the Attack Titan. Using this power, he ate Freida Reiss,
44:21finally stripping the former Fritz family of the Founding Titan after 150 generations.
44:27When Grisha, devastated by his actions, stumbled his way out of the chapel,
44:32he once again felt the presence of his son. But this time it was not Eren.
44:38After Eren arrived in Trost, Grisha, driven by Eren’s memories of the future,
44:43took his son into the woods where he injected him with Titan serum. As a Pure Titan,
44:48Eren ate his own father-unknowingly securing the powers of both the
44:52Attack and Founding Titans. In the wake of this, Shadis found Eren’s unconscious body
44:57and returned him to Trost. The next day, Eren, completely unaware of recent events,
45:03woke up inside a refugee camp in Trost with the cellar key hanging around his neck.
45:08A few days later, most of the refugees from Wall Maria were forced to plow fields in an
45:13unsuccessful attempt to grow more food for the starving population. Around this same time,
45:19Historia’s mother was killed by the First Interior Squad. After her death,
45:23Rod Reiss proposed they change Historia’s name to Krista Lenz and ship her off to the Cadet Corp.
45:30The following year, with the famine worse than ever, the Central Government had no choice but to
45:35send refugees-of-age to retake Wall Maria-knowing full well that they would all die. 20% of the
45:42total survivors (or about 250,000 refugees), including Armin’s grandfather, were sent. By
45:48the end of the culling, only about 200 people survived, yet, the Central Government considered
45:54the mission a success as it lessened the strain on the scarce food supply. In the wake of this
45:59devastating loss, Eren decided to join the Cadet Corp in an effort to eventually become a Scout.
46:05With no other options, Armin and Mikasa decided to join him. Similarly, the Warriors decided that the
46:11best way to infiltrate the government and find the Founder was to join the upcoming Cadet Corp
46:16training. Meanwhile, Ymir would overhear that Rod Reiss had a bastard child named Krista Lenz who
46:22was shipped off to become a Cadet. Seeing herself in Krista, Ymir made it her goal to keep her safe.
46:28The following year, in 847, Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Reiner, Bertrand, Annie, Jean, Ymir,
46:36Krista, Connie, Sasha, Marco, Flock, and many others officially enlisted into the Cadet Corp.
46:43Their training began with Shadis breaking the Cadets down so they could be molded into
46:47effective soldiers. Afterwards, they began the ODM training with simple balance drills. Shadis,
46:53wanting to protect Carla’s only son, purposefully broke Eren’s training belt hoping to save him
46:59from himself. Despite the intervention, Eren managed to overcome the faulty gear,
47:04proving to Shadis that he was more than capable of handling himself.
47:09In 848, while partaking in the Wasteland Excursion Training, the 104th Cadet Corp
47:14were held at gunpoint by a group of criminals. While captive, the Cadets watched as the criminals
47:19kidnapped Krista and took their ODM Gear. With no easy way to save Krista or reclaim their gear,
47:24the 104th were forced to either go after the criminals themselves or find help and risk the
47:29criminals getting away. They soon chose the former, trusting in each other and their own
47:34abilities. Their plan eventually worked, resulting in them reclaiming their gear and saving Krista.
47:39During his time living and fighting alongside the devils he had sworn to destroy, Reiner
47:44found the only way to endure the weight of his actions was to think of himself as two separate
47:50people. While this was similar to the incident with Marcel, it was different in the sense that
47:55he couldn’t fully discard his old self. If he did he would have to abandon his mission which meant
48:01he would never be able to return to his home. His subconscious solution-bury his old life,
48:07compartmentalize his identity into the Warrior of Marley and the Soldier of Paradis. By hiding
48:13one part of himself away, he could once more continue to do what needed to be done,
48:18unaware that for every action he took from that moment on his mind would
48:23grow increasingly unstable-inevitably resulting in its eventual collapse.
48:28While training with the 104th, Daz, Krista, and Ymir became stranded on a mountain. To
48:34save Krista from sacrificing herself to help Daz, Ymir pushed Krista to the ground before
48:39transforming into the Jaw Titan to deliver Daz to safety. Without Daz weighing her down,
48:45Krista was able to make it back to the Cadet’s camp herself where she
48:48confronted Ymir about how such a feat was even possible. Unable to reveal her Titan abilities
48:53without explaining everything surrounding it, Ymir simply told Krista that when the
48:58time came to show her the truth, Krista would return the favor by sharing her true name.
49:03The next year, during the return of the 34th Recon Mission, the Scouts were attacked by a
49:08horde of Titans, forcing a young Scout named Ilse Longnar to abandon her gear and retreat
49:14into the wilderness. Equipped with nothing but a notebook, Ilse logged her journey back to safety.
49:19Days later, while traveling through a meadow, Ilse was cornered by a Titan who mistook her for Ymir.
49:25Mustering what little they retained from their previous life, the Titan spoke-muttering words
49:30like “Subjects of Ymir” and “Lady Ymir”. More confused than ever, Ilse tried to communicate
49:36with the Titan only to be met with frustrating silence. Overwhelmed, the Titan began clawing
49:42at their face prompting Ilse to run away in fear. Instincts kicking in, the Titan chased
49:48after her and bit her head off before placing her remains into the tree that centered the meadow.
49:53One year after the event, during the 49th Recon Mission, Squad Leader Hange Zoe would stumble
49:59upon Ilse’s body while trying to capture a Titan. After reading through her journal,
50:04Hange became even more curious about the Titans, requesting to Erwin that the Scouts focus at least
50:10some of their resources to capturing a Titan. Erwin accepted this proposal, prompting Hange
50:16to develop a new method of capturing Titans which allowed her to study them more than ever before.
50:21While training with the 104th, Reiner, Annie, and Ballerina continued to do all
50:26they could to find the identity of the Founding Titan. With each of them growing increasingly
50:31exhausted after repeatedly hitting dead-ends, Reiner decided that the best course of action
50:37was to repeat what they did five years prior and breach Wall Rose-reasoning that,
50:42if successful, they would finally smoke out the Founder, if unsuccessful,
50:46they would at least manage to kill more “devils” and drive the island further into desperation.
51:06After three years of training, the Cadets in the 104th Training
51:10Class finally graduated. The top 10 trainees by score being: Krista Lenz,
51:15Sasha Brause, Connie Springer, Marco Bott, Jean Kirstein, Eren Jaeger,
51:22Annie Leonhart, (I forgot Banana Vacuum), Reiner Braun, and, top of the class, Mikasa Ackermann.
51:27Following the graduation, while the other Cadets were cleaning the cannons atop Wall Rose,
51:32Butterfinger would follow through with their plan to breach the Wall. As dozens of Titans
51:36flooded into Trost, Build-a-bear would shroud himself in steam-seemingly vanishing just as
51:42quickly as he had appeared. As the chaos was unfolding,
51:46Garrison Commander Pyxis was given news about the situation in Trost. Awaiting Pyxis’ arrival,
51:52the Garrison and Cadets were arranged into three teams with the rookies on the front lines
51:56while the elite soldiers, including Mikasa, were stationed furthest from the action. Eren,
52:02ready to avenge his mother, immediately rushed to kill as many Titans as he could, resulting in
52:07his leg being unceremoniously chopped off by a Titan. Armin, frozen at the sight of this,
52:13was then easily picked up and placed in the mouth of a Titan. Just before he could be eaten,
52:18however, Eren jumped into the Titan’s mouth, sacrificing himself to save his best friend.
52:24Meanwhile, on the other side of the Trost, Mikasa saved a group of refugees from a Titan. Included
52:30in these refugees was a man named Dimo Reeves, the head of the influential Reeves company,
52:36as well as a young girl named Louise who, inspired by Mikasa’s bravery, would go on to become a Scout
52:42herself. Simultaneously, in the stomach of the Titan, Eren instinctively triggered his dormant
52:47Titan power. Driven by his vengeance, he began attacking any Titan (say that again) he came
52:52across, saving Mikasa in the process. After killing dozens of Titans, Eren, exhausted
52:58in battle, emerged from his Titan’s body. When Eren regained consciousness, he, Mikasa,
53:07and Armin were backed into a corner, surrounded by the Garrison. Confused about his abilities,
53:12Captain Woerman questioned Eren’s allegiance to humanity. Unconvinced by their pleas, he ordered
53:17the Garrison to execute Eren. To save his friends, Eren once again instinctively used his power,
53:24proving without a doubt to everyone that he was somehow both human and Titan. While the Garrison
53:30reloaded their cannons, Armin convinced Commander Pyxis, who had recently arrived,
53:34that Eren could be a valuable asset to the military. Agreeing with Armin,
53:38Pyxis proposed Eren use his abilities to seal the hole in Wall Rose using a massive boulder.
53:44With the entire Garrison at his back, Eren shifted into a Titan. As was common
53:49with the first few transformations, Eren’s subconscious took control of his movements,
53:54attacking any and everything in sight. Unsure as to why this was the case, the Garrison quickly
53:59subdued Eren. When Armin eventually arrived, he attempted to inspire his best friend to
54:05finish what they had started-so that one day they might finally reach the sea. When Eren
54:10finally gained control over his own movements, he hoisted the boulder and sealed the hole in
54:15Wall Rose. Witnessing this very act, Reiner and Bunkbed accidentally revealed their identities to
54:20Marco. To keep him from getting away, they stole his ODM Gear and left him to be eaten by a Titan.
54:26After Wall Rose was sealed, Eren was imprisoned for both his and the public's safety. Meanwhile,
54:32the Scouts and Garrison joined forces to kill the remaining Titans in Trost. The
54:37only exceptions being two Titans that Hange would later name Sonny and Bean which she
54:42would use to study Titan physiology. After Trost was cleaned up, Erwin and
54:47Levi visited Eren to question his origins and intentions, judging whether or not they would
54:52allow him to join their ranks if everything went Erwin’s way. Afterward, Eren was summoned before
54:57a tribunal to decide whether or not his abilities were of service to, or detrimental to the people
55:03within the Walls. In the end, Levi agreed to take responsibility for Eren’s actions-stating
55:09that if he ever fell out of line he would kill Eren himself. Premier Dhalis Zachary, the head
55:14of the military itself, agreed to this proposal, formally assigning Eren to the Scout Regiment.
55:20Days later, Eren joined Levi’s Special Operations Squad at the former Scout Headquarters to study
55:26his Titan abilities in seclusion. Meanwhile, Erwin made preparations for the upcoming 57th Recon
55:32Mission. While publicly the Mission’s goal was that of a simple test to see if they could reach
55:37Grisha’s cellar the following year, Erwin secretly planned to use it to flush out any other so-called
55:43“Intelligent Titans”. That same night, while Hange was lecturing Eren, Annie, using Marco’s ODM Gear,
55:50killed Sonny and Bean. While the Scouts launched a full investigation into the matter, no clear
55:55culprits were found. Later that day, the top ten cadets of the 104th, excluding Eren, were given
56:01the opportunity to choose their preferred military regiments. Annie opted for the Military Police,
56:07while the rest, swayed by Eren’s resolve, chose to join the Scouts. While the timing is unclear,
56:13it's likely that around this same time, Marley, unaware of the status of their Warriors,
56:18deployed the Beast and Carr Titans to Paradis to check on their progress.
56:23In Stohess, Annie, in preparation for the 57th Recon Mission, asked her fellow MP, Hitch,
56:30to cover her next day’s patrol, offering to cover one of her missing person cases in return. Hitch
56:36ultimately accepted, handing her the case file for a woman named Carly Stratman. Seeking leads,
56:42Annie spoke with Carly’s father, learning nothing of immediate value. After tracking down multiple
56:47leads, Annie was directed to Carly’s boyfriend’s apartment where she found illegal drugs and
56:53his lifeless body. Unable to report the crime without jeopardizing her plans, Annie planned
56:58to find Carly before nightfall. Eventually, Annie confronted Carly at her apartment,
57:03learning she had manufactured the drugs herself to support her father’s business. Respecting her
57:09resourcefulness, and buying her silence, Annie gave Carly a permit to enter Wall Rose where she
57:15would start a new life. Afterwards, she confronted Carly’s father about Carly’s boyfriend’s murder,
57:21confirming her suspicion that he was responsible for it. However instead of turning him in,
57:27Annie decided to aid him in disposing of the body so as to not leave any loose ends.
57:32The next day, the Scouts began the 57th Recon Mission. As was part of Erwin’s plan,
57:37they spread misinformation about Eren’s position within the formation as well as brought weapons to
57:41catch an Intelligent Titan. Tailing the formation, Annie eventually shifted into the Female Titan,
57:47Armin, Reiner, and Jean were among the first to spot her in the formation’s right
57:51flank. While chasing after her, Armin told Reiner that Eren was likely in the center
57:56rank, the safest spot of the formation. When they finally caught up to the Female Titan,
58:01Reiner purposefully got himself caught by Annie, directing her to Eren’s position.
58:05When Erwin’s suspicions of an Intelligent Titan were confirmed, he guided the formation into a
58:10dense forest, providing them cover for their ambush as well as verticality for their ODM
58:15Gear. When the Female Titan eventually caught up to Levi’s Squad, where Eren had been positioned,
58:20they used a volley of harpoons to subdue her. As Eren and the Levi Squad continued forward,
58:26Erwin and Levi himself stayed back to capture the Female Titan. After multiple failed attempts at
58:32revealing her identity, Annie, left with no other options, called for the surrounding Pure Titans
58:37to converge on her location. When they arrived, they ate through her Titan form, allowing her
58:43to escape and equip herself with ODM Gear. Using this, Annie caught up to-and killed
58:48the Levi Squad. Eren, left alone and vengeful as ever, shifted into the Attack Titan to stop Annie.
58:55Hearing this, Mikasa and Levi made their way toward Eren. When Annie eventually bested Eren,
59:00she stowed him in her mouth before making her escape. With both Mikasa and Levi’s combined
59:05skills, they managed to cripple the Female Titan and rescue Eren. Given all of this information,
59:11Armin, who had found the Female Titan’s actions familiar since she first appeared,
59:16concluded that its true identity was likely Annie. Hours later, the remaining Scouts returned to Wall
59:22Rose, where the Central Government revoked the Scout’s custody of Eren. Having to act fast,
59:27Erwin devised a plan to confirm Armin’s suspicions about Annie. The plan involved
59:32tricking Annie into thinking she was keeping Eren from being executed, but in reality,
59:37they planned to lure her underground where, if she was the Female Titan, she couldn’t transform.
59:43Meanwhile, in Ragako Village, Zeke used a gas derived from his spinal fluid to turn the village
59:49into Titans. Minutes later, a collection of the Scouts including: Reiner, Boznia, Sasha,
59:55Connie, Jean, Ymir, and Krista witnessed as the Titans from Ragako village stormed their outpost.
1:00:01Assuming Wall Rose had been breached, Connie traveled to his home village of Ragako while
1:00:06Sasha went to check on her hometown of Dauper. Soon after, Armin confronted Annie with the
1:00:11possibility that the government might kill Eren, prompting her to help Armin and Mikasa smuggle him
1:00:17to safety. However, they quickly hit a dead end when Annie refused to go underground—confirming
1:00:23their suspicions that she was the Female Titan. With nothing left to hide, Annie unleashed her
1:00:29power. As Annie rampaged through Stohess, Eren found himself trapped beneath rubble,
1:00:34his mind refusing to accept the reality of the betrayal. As her rampage continued, Eren
1:00:40concluded that he had sworn an oath to himself that he would kill every last Titan-and that,
1:00:45friend or not, Annie was no different. As Eren chased Annie throughout Stohess,
1:00:51Erwin was arrested by the Military Police for his hand in the ensuing chaos. As Annie made her
1:00:56way toward the Wall, she managed to overwhelm Eren before he went berserk. In this state,
1:01:02Eren relentlessly pursued Annie even as she began climbing the Wall. Helping Eren, Mikasa
1:01:08cut off Annie’s fingers, sending her plummeting to the ground. Still enraged, Eren attempted to
1:01:14eat Annie, forcing her to create a crystal shell to keep her from being consumed. As she did so,
1:01:20Eren’s body began to fuse with her Titan body, prompting Levi to pull Eren from his Titan.
1:01:26When the Attack on Stohess concluded, Erwin made his case to the Central Government for the Scout
1:01:31Regiment to keep custody of Eren. He argued that while the battle devastated the district,
1:01:36the alternate outcome of yet another breach in the Wall would have been beyond devastating. While it
1:01:42was far from unanimous, the Central Government ultimately agreed with Erwin’s proposal,
1:01:47allowing the Scouts to continue to study and use Eren for the betterment of humanity.
1:01:52By the following morning, Hange, as well as some Scouts and MP’s discovered that, in her escape,
1:01:59Annie had broken a piece of the wall, revealing one of the Wall Titans. Confused about its
1:02:04origin and purpose, Hange attempted to interrogate Pastor Nick, a pastor for the Church of the Walls.
1:02:10Learning nothing, she kept him at her side while she tested some theories of her own by comparing
1:02:15a piece of the Female Titan’s hardening with the Wall itself. Soon enough, she came to understand
1:02:21that this entire time the very thing that shielded them from annihilation at the hands of the Titans,
1:02:27were themselves made of Titans. When Sasha eventually arrived in Dauper,
1:02:44she found a single survivor—a young girl named Kaya who, paralyzed by fear, had watched as her
1:02:50mother was eaten by a Titan. Sasha grabbed the girl, running as far as she could until
1:02:56she had to face the Titan herself. Using only a bow, she shot both of its eyes, allowing
1:03:01her to slip away undetected. Simultaneously, Connie found Ragako in ruins due to the mass
1:03:08transformation. Holding out hope, he traveled to his home where he found it had been destroyed by
1:03:13an immobile Titan. As he rationalized how such a thing could even happen, he couldn’t shake the
1:03:19thought that the Titan somehow resembled his own mother. Just then, Reiner stole his attention,
1:03:25suggesting they carry on with the rest of their group and search Wall Rose for signs of damage.
1:03:30After scouring the entirety of the south-west section of Wall Rose, the Scouts concluded that,
1:03:35despite the Titan’s sudden appearance, there was no breach in Wall Rose. Meanwhile, Eren, Mikasa,
1:03:42Armin, Levi, and Hange discussed their theories about the Wall Titan in the presence of Pastor
1:03:47Nick. Hange, drawing from her experiments with the Female Titan’s hardening, stated her belief
1:03:52that the Walls were somehow made of Titans that had been encased in a hardened material. Seeing
1:03:58as they would likely uncover the truth anyway, Pastor Nick eventually revealed to them that,
1:04:03while he was sworn to secrecy, Krista indirectly held the answers they were looking for. Later
1:04:09that same night, Hange’s background report for Annie was finally fulfilled, revealing that she
1:04:14reportedly came from the same town as Reiner and Buried. Using this as a jumping-off point, Eren
1:04:20and Armin began revealing Reiner and Bluey’s other suspicious behavior, such as their actions during
1:04:26the 57th Recon Mission and their interactions with Annie during Cadet training. With that,
1:04:31Eren, Mikasa, Armin, and Hange traveled to Utgard Castle, which was their best
1:04:36approximation for where the Scouts took refuge. At the Castle, Ymir stumbled upon cans of herring
1:04:42marked with a foreign language. When she handed one to Reiner, he was shocked to learn that it
1:04:47was not a language those within the Walls could read—meaning, like himself, she was not from
1:04:54Paradis. Before he could probe further, however, Titans began to assault the castle. While the
1:04:59veteran Scouts dealt with the ambush, the others barricaded the interior. After dealing with a
1:05:04Titan that attacked Reiner, the Scouts moved to the roof where, stranded, Ymir decided the only
1:05:10course of action was to transform into the Jaw Titan. In doing so, Reiner realized that she was
1:05:17the one who killed Marcel. After slaughtering a portion of the Titans, Ymir, overwhelmed,
1:05:23began being torn apart herself. Just then, Mikasa and the other Scouts arrived to save them. After
1:05:28Ymir was pulled from her Titan, Krista, fulfilling the promise she made to Ymir on the mountain years
1:05:34ago, revealed that her real name was Historia. Hours later, as the Scouts stood atop Wall Rose,
1:05:42Reiner’s fractured mind finally began to unravel. The chaos of recent events—the
1:05:47sighting of the Zeke, his near death encounter, and the realization that Ymir had been the one to
1:05:52kill Marcel—eroded the fragile divide between the Warrior and the Soldier. Unable to cope with the
1:05:59mounting pressure within, Reiner made a reckless decision. One that he couldn’t stop himself from
1:06:05making despite knowing it would change everything. In this moment of desperation, he revealed to Eren
1:06:12the truth of his and Baltimore’s Titan identities, as if exposing the secret might somehow make him
1:06:18whole again. Eren, caught between disbelief and denial, couldn’t accept the admission despite
1:06:24the clear evidence. Clinging to the hope that Reiner’s words were simply delusions. But Reiner,
1:06:30committed to his admission, decided it was time to finish their mission once and for all. Mikasa,
1:06:37eavesdropping on their conversation, moved to cut them down before they could act. Faced with the
1:06:42inevitability of a confrontation, Reiner and Beans had no choice but to reveal their true identities.
1:07:12Finally revealed as the Warriors they were, Reiner moved to secure Eren while Bumblebee
1:07:17grabbed Ymir. Witnessing the truth with his own eyes, Eren transformed into the Attack Titan and,
1:07:23utilizing Annie’s martial arts techniques, ripped off Reiner’s arm. Afterwards,
1:07:28he and Reiner continued to fight with Eren eventually pinning him to the ground. Locked
1:07:33in this position, Reiner signaled for Buffalo Wild Wings to fall on top of them, allowing the
1:07:37both of them to escape with Eren and Ymir. Five hours later, Mikasa, who had fallen
1:07:43unconscious during the battle, finally awoke, instantly ready to save Eren. Armin informed
1:07:48her that for the time being they didn’t have the capability to rescue him. Sometime later,
1:07:53Scout reinforcements, including Erwin and Hannes, arrived with fresh equipment. Pursuit on the
1:07:59table, Hange shared her approximation of where Reiner took Eren before they moved after him.
1:08:04Hours later, Eren awoke in the forest, finding he and Ymir’s limbs were severed to keep them from
1:08:10escaping. As they began to talk, Reiner’s mind, confused at this point more than ever, once again
1:08:16reverted back to the Soldier he was inside the Walls. To snap him out of it, bbno$ had to remind
1:08:23him that they were Warriors, and that they came here to accomplish a mission. With a clearer mind,
1:08:29Reiner tried to convince Ymir to join their side, hoping it would bring resolution without the need
1:08:35for more conflict. Just then, the Scouts began to close in on their location, forcing Reiner and
1:08:41Balloon boy to use their ODM Gear to escape with Eren and Ymir. While doing so, Ymir threatened
1:08:46to turn into a Titan and take Eren if they didn’t grab Historia. With no other options,
1:08:52they allowed Ymir to turn into a Titan and obtain Historia before making a run to the sea.
1:08:58When the Scouts caught up to them, they spoke to Baskin Robbins who told them that their time
1:09:02together wasn’t an act–that, despite the lies and betrayal, they were still friends. Just then,
1:09:08Erwin drew the attention of a horde of Titans, using them to flank the Warriors. Swarmed by
1:09:14Titans, Reiner was forced to expose Blues Clues and Eren. In the midst of the chaos,
1:09:19Erwin’s arm was bit off by a Titan. Afterward, Armin, knowing Bowser and Reiner were unaware
1:09:24of Annie’s situation, told Banjo that Annie was being tortured by the military,
1:09:30which caused him to lose focus-presenting an opportunity for Erwin to cut Eren free.
1:09:35While Mikasa and Eren made their escape, Reiner began throwing Titans at them hoping that he
1:09:40might get lucky and one of them would eat Eren. After the attack, when Eren regained clarity,
1:09:45he was once more confronted by the Smiling Titan. Acting with the courage that was devoid during
1:09:50the fall of Wall Maria, Hannes saved Eren just before he was grabbed by Eren’s mother’s killer.
1:09:56Witnessing the carnage that surrounded him, Eren tried to transform into a Titan; however,
1:10:01due to his emotional distress, he was unable to do so-resulting in Hannes suffering the same fate
1:10:07as his mother. Assuming they were going to die, Mikasa thanked Eren for all that he had done for
1:10:13her. Eren reciprocated these feelings by promising that he would always wrap his scarf around her,
1:10:18symbolizing his willingness to sacrifice his own comfort, and even his own life, for her.
1:10:24As the Smiling Titan reached for Eren, he let out a scream as his fist came into contact with it.
1:10:31In this moment of contact, Eren had unknowingly discovered a loophole present in the Founding
1:10:36Titan’s abilities. While it was true that the power of the Founder could only be wielded by
1:10:41those possessing royal blood, there was a way for those without it to access at least
1:10:46a fraction of her power. This could only be done when an inheritor of the Founding Titan
1:10:51came into contact with someone of royal lineage who was either a Pure Titan or wielded one of
1:10:58the Nine. Given that the Smiling Titan was Dina Fritz, Eren had, for a single fleeting moment,
1:11:04accessed a fraction of the Founding Titan’s power dormant within him–subconsciously
1:11:10allowing him to command the surrounding Pure Titans to attack his mother’s killer as well
1:11:14as Reiner and Ben & Jerry’s. In the midst of this chaos, Ymir, finally embracing the truth,
1:11:20decided to save Reiner and Blunderbuss (i'm starting to run out of ideas) from
1:11:22the Titan onslaught so that they could reclaim the power she took from Marcel.
1:11:26Just under a week after Wall Rose was reported as compromised, the Central Government was faced
1:11:32with the decision to either starve their citizens or trust the Scout Regiment’s observations that
1:11:37Wall Rose was undamaged. To avoid the never before seen civil unrest that would result
1:11:42from mass starvation, they concluded that the area within Wall Rose was completely secure. Meanwhile,
1:11:50Hange and Connie, left with unanswered questions, met with Erwin, Pyxis, and Levi
1:11:55to propose a theory. That Titans were, in actuality, people–and that the Titans within
1:12:01Wall Rose were, somehow, the citizens of Ragako. Following their failed attempt to capture Eren,
1:12:08Reiner and (Dark) Bramble regrouped with Zeke–revealing that the Founding Titan was
1:12:12in possession of a kid named Eren Jaeger. Upon hearing this, it dawned on Zeke that Grisha,
1:12:18his estranged father, had somehow survived his execution and continued his restorationist
1:12:24crusade from within the Walls. From this moment, Zeke, while determined to capture the Founder to
1:12:30accomplish his euthanization plan, also resolved to become for Eren what Ksaver
1:12:34had been for him—a guiding light that would save him from the shadow of their father's influence.
1:12:44To keep a closer eye on Historia and Eren, Erwin, rightfully paranoid, assigned the
1:12:49noteworthy Scouts of the 104th Training class to the Levi Squad. Under their watch,
1:12:55Eren would continue to push the boundaries of his Titan abilities in hopes that they could use him
1:12:59to seal Wall Maria. During this period, Pastor Nick was murdered by the First Interior Squad in
1:13:05his apartment in Trost. When Hange found out, she was told it was a simple break-in. Seeing through
1:13:11the lie, and sensing deep rooted corruption, she shared news of his murder with the Levi Squad.
1:13:17Shortly afterwards, their paranoia was vindicated when the Central Government froze
1:13:21all Scout activity, and ordered the surrender of Historia and Eren. When Erwin refused to do so,
1:13:28Rod Reiss himself obtained the assistance of Kenny Ackermann’s Anti Personnel Control Squad to abduct
1:13:33Eren and Historia. When the Levi Squad learned of their imminent arrest, they decided to move
1:13:38to Trost. In Trost, Kenney’s team ambushed Levi as well as his squad, capturing Historia and Eren
1:13:45in the process. To learn the truth behind why and where Eren and Historia had been abducted,
1:13:49Hange and Levi tortured Sannes–learning that the Reiss Family were the true Royal bloodline–meaning
1:13:55Historia was the rightful heir to the throne. Meanwhile, the First Interior Squad framed the
1:14:01Scouts for the murder of Dimo Reeves, claiming they had hired him to abduct Eren for their own
1:14:07purposes. Unbeknownst to them, Dimo’s son, Flegel Reeves, witnessed the murder and fled for his own
1:14:13safety. In the wake of Dimo’s death, the Central Government issued warrants for the arrest of all
1:14:19Scouts. During these events, Erwin confided in Pyxis, revealing his past as well as his plan
1:14:25to overthrow the government by installing Historia as the rightful queen. Shortly after,
1:14:30Erwin was arrested by the Military Police. While hiding in the woods, Levi’s squad captured
1:14:36Marlo and Hitch, who ultimately joined their cause upon learning the truth about the events
1:14:40in Stohess. Meanwhile, Hange rescued Flegel Reeves from the Interior Police and, with his assistance,
1:14:47orchestrated a plan that exposed the government’s corruption to the public. During this same time,
1:14:52Levi interrogated one of Kenny’s men, learning that Ackermann was Kenny’s surname.
1:14:57Following his arrest, Erwin was taken to the capital to face trial, where Aurille, speaking
1:15:03on behalf of the false King Fritz, declared him guilty of violating Clause 6 of the Charter of
1:15:08Humanity: prioritizing one's gain over the safety and longevity of humanity. The sentencing was
1:15:15interrupted when they were given a false report that Wall Rose had fallen to the Colossal and
1:15:20Armored Titans. Pyxis immediately ordered the Garrison to evacuate refugees into Wall Sina,
1:15:25but Aurille opposed the move, insisting the gates remain closed to avoid the inevitable
1:15:31famine and rebellion. At that moment, Premier Zachary entered the room, revealing the report
1:15:36to be a fabrication. Pyxis then declared the monarchy guilty of the same crime they
1:15:41had accused Erwin of committing. With that, the military had motive to finalize their coup d'etat.
1:15:47After the coup, Premier Zachary was positioned as interim monarch while the Scouts focused on
1:15:52locating Historia. As part of this effort, all charges against the Scouts were dropped.
1:15:57Meanwhile, Eren awoke beneath the chapel, where he encountered Historia and her father. When Rod
1:16:03prompted Historia to touch Eren, she unlocked a fraction of Grisha’s memories within Eren. As this
1:16:09transpired, Kenny’s Anti-Personnel Squad prepared an ambush for the Scouts. Upon their arrival, the
1:16:15Scouts launched their infiltration—using barrels of gunpowder and oil to shroud their movements.
1:16:20While the Scouts battled Kenny’s squad, Rod explained the Founding Titan succession ritual
1:16:25to Historia and presented her with the Titan serum. Kenny overheard Rod’s explanation and,
1:16:31acting on his own motives, freed Eren to give him a chance to fight for his power. Eren, however,
1:16:36refused to resist–declaring to Historia that if inheriting the Founding Titan would truly
1:16:42bring an end to the Titans and grant freedom to his friends, he would gladly give up his life.
1:16:48This declaration made Historia question why the Royal Family had not liberated humanity
1:16:53before if they had the power to do so. Rod then revealed that the first King’s will forced those
1:16:59with royal blood to adopt his pacifist ideology, perpetuating the Titans' existence. Hearing this,
1:17:06Historia rejected her father’s offer, destroyed the Titan serum, knocked Rod down, and freed
1:17:12Eren. In desperation, Rod consumed the spilled serum, transforming into a massive Abnormal Titan.
1:17:20As the cavern collapsed, the Scouts seized their chance to rescue Eren. Freed from his chains,
1:17:25Eren drank a blood vial labeled “Armor”, unlocking the ability to harden his skin and create crude
1:17:31hardened constructs. Using this newfound power, he shielded his friends from the collapsing
1:17:36cavern while Rod Reiss’ Titan mindlessly advanced toward Orvud District. By morning,
1:17:41the garrison launched a massive barrage of cannon fire to halt the Titan’s progress. However,
1:17:46when Rod’s Titan reached Wall Rose, Eren hurled an explosive payload into its throat. Once detonated,
1:17:52the massive Titan erupted, scattering chunks of his head into the sky. Among the falling flesh
1:17:58was the fully in-tact nape, which Historia struck down in full view of the citizens.
1:18:04After the battle, Levi discovered a fatally wounded Kenny among the rubble of the chapel.
1:18:09Eyeing the Titan serum, Kenny revealed his desire to experience the power of a Titan
1:18:13after witnessing it among the Reiss family for so long. However, instead of using it for himself,
1:18:19Kenny entrusted the serum to Levi, revealing in his final moments that he was Levi’s uncle,
1:18:25thereby confirming their shared lineage as Ackermanns. Following the events in Orvud,
1:18:30Historia, beloved for her actions, was crowned as the true queen, inspiring newfound hope
1:18:36within the Walls. Meanwhile, in Shiganshina, Zeke and Reiner battled to decide their next
1:18:41move. Zeke emerged victorious, prioritizing the ambush of the Scouts over rescuing Annie.
1:18:48Over the next two months, Historia used her newfound status to uplift and support those
1:18:53in need. First and foremost were the orphans who she provided with boarding and meals regardless of
1:18:59the cost. To this end, she collaborated with Levi to uplift those living in the Underground who she
1:19:05knew had it worse than anyone else. Meanwhile, the Scouts helped Eren master his Titan endurance
1:19:10and hardening abilities until he was skilled enough to plug Wall Maria without breaking
1:19:15a sweat. In doing so, the Scouts developed a new trap for the Titans that Hange dubbed the
1:19:20“Executioner from Hell.” This trap allowed them to passively kill Titans by luring them to the Wall
1:19:27and smashing their nape with a log. In addition to this invention, the Corps of Engineers took
1:19:32inspiration from hidden Interior technology to develop the ’Thunder Spears’, giving the Scouts
1:19:37the edge they needed to effectively battle Reiner. With these advancements, preparations to retake
1:19:43Wall Maria were finally complete. To mark the occasion, the Scouts were treated to a celebratory
1:19:49feast. The following day, just moments before their departure, the citizens of Trost gathered
1:19:54to give them a rousing send-off, the likes of which the Scouts had never received.
1:20:00Over the cover of night, the Scouts made their exodus to Shiganshina, strategically timing their
1:20:05expedition to align with the new moon. Pieck kept watch during their travels and, when they neared
1:20:12their destination, reported their arrival to the other Warriors. At dawn, when the Scouts were just
1:20:18minutes from Shiganshina, they switched to ODM Gear, using it to immediately travel to the outer
1:20:23gate of Shiganshina, where Eren didn’t hesitate to plug Wall Maria. Thanks to his extensive training
1:20:29over the past two months, this didn’t even phase him, and they moved to plug up the inner wall as
1:20:34well. Meanwhile, Armin discovered the remnants of the Warriors’ camp. He reported this to Erwin who,
1:20:40trusting Armin’s judgment, gave him temporary command over the Scouts. Soon enough,
1:20:46Armin deduced that Reiner and (try finger) But (hole) were unaware that they knew the walls were
1:20:50not solid. Using this, Armin gambled that they might be hiding in the walls themselves—waiting
1:20:56for Eren to seal the inner gate and block their exit. Armin’s gambit quickly paid off when a
1:21:02Scout uncovered Reiner’s hiding spot. When Reiner emerged from the Wall, Levi plunged his blade into
1:21:07Reiner’s neck, which would have killed him if not for Reiner’s ability to temporarily transfer his
1:21:12consciousness to the rest of his body, giving him just enough time to summon the Armor.
1:21:17Directly afterward, Zeke shifted into the Beast Titan and let out a scream—transforming the dozens
1:21:23of Subjects of Ymir he had hidden underground into Titans. To keep the Scouts from escaping,
1:21:28Zeke threw a boulder at the inner gate, blocking the Scouts from reaching their horses. Faced
1:21:33with danger from both sides, the Scouts awaited Erwin’s command. Erwin, deducing Zeke’s strategy,
1:21:39ordered half of the Scouts to protect the horses while the rest were to take down Reiner. The
1:21:44only one who was singled out was Levi, who Erwin tasked with killing the Beast Titan.
1:21:49To distract Reiner from killing the horses, Eren transformed right in front of him. The plan
1:21:54worked, and Reiner went after Eren. While they fought, the rest of the Levi and Hange squad used
1:21:59Thunder Spears to first stun—then incapacitate Reiner. Just before he was incapacitated,
1:22:05Reiner transferred his consciousness once more to his nervous system before screaming-signaling
1:22:10for Zeke to throw Bamboozle. In the air, Beast Titan spotted Reiner’s limp body. Knowing if he
1:22:16transformed then it would kill Reiner, he first used his ODM Gear to check on his friend. Armin
1:22:22took this opportunity to confront Benny (from the hit game Fallout New Vegas), learning that,
1:22:25unlike before, he was determined to finish their goal of abducting Eren and killing those within
1:22:31the walls. To this end, he ascended into the sky and unleashed the power of the Colossal.
1:23:06Assuming themselves the lone survivors of the explosion, the Levi Squad planned to end
1:23:10Banshee-44 once and for all. Meanwhile, within Wall Maria, Levi watched helplessly as the Beast
1:23:16Titan launched devastating volleys of debris at the Scouts. Pinned down by the bombardment,
1:23:21Erwin declared that their only chance of survival was a desperate charge into certain death. A final
1:23:27act of bravery to distract the Beast Titan long enough for Levi to flank and kill him. Leading
1:23:33the charge himself, Erwin was struck down by a piece of debris, yet the distraction worked-Levi
1:23:40executed his part flawlessly, ripping Zeke from his Titan. With his blade to Zeke’s throat, Levi
1:23:46planned to save Erwin by injecting him with the Titan serum and letting him eat Zeke. But before
1:23:52he could act, Pieck intervened, whisking Zeke to safety. Determined to fulfill Erwin’s orders,
1:23:57Levi bolted after the Cart Titan. On the battlefield, Floch, the lone standing Scout,
1:24:03began his search for survivors—quickly discovering Erwin’s body on the brink of death.
1:24:09Inside Shiganshina, Armin noticed the Colossal Titan growing thinner as it emitted steam.
1:24:14Utilizing this observation, he devised a plan that involved him and Eren taking down the Colossal
1:24:19while the others kept Reiner busy. After Armin informed Eren of his plan, Eren feigned weakness
1:24:25to draw Berzerk’s attention to Armin. Armin then faced Butt, tricking him into releasing
1:24:30as much steam as possible which allowed Eren to rip Bedrock from his Titan. Meanwhile, Mikasa,
1:24:37Jean, Sasha, Connie, and eventually Hange, who was the only survivor of her squad, took down
1:24:43Reiner. When he was incapacitated, they planned to take his power using Levi’s syringe. However,
1:24:49shortly after Mikasa left to get the syringe, Zeke and the Cart Titan swooped in to rescue
1:24:54Reiner. Immediately after, Zeke went to secure Bear (down for midterms), however
1:24:59he decided against doing so after seeing Levi. Before retreating, Zeke,
1:25:04wanting to save Eren from what he assumed was Grisha’s restorationist brainwashing,
1:25:09cryptically told Eren he would save him “from all of this.” When Levi reached Eren, he quickly
1:25:15demanded his ODM gear so he could pursue Zeke. Just then, Armin let out a faint gasp.
1:25:22Seeing an opportunity to both save Armin and secure the Colossal, Eren pressured Levi to inject
1:25:29Armin with the syringe. However, just as Levi was about to do so, Floch arrived with Erwin’s wounded
1:25:36body. The Scouts were then faced with a single, uncompromising decision. One that had them choose
1:25:43whether or not they would stick with what they were comfortable with—with what they had been—or
1:25:48trust in the future of the Scouts—in what they all knew they could be. Give the shot to Erwin,
1:25:54the greatest Scout Regiment Commander, or Armin, who Erwin himself saw as the embodiment
1:26:00of the best of the Scouts ideals. After several critical heartbreaking minutes, the decision was
1:26:06finally made, not by Eren or Levi, but by Erwin himself who rejected the syringe. In doing so,
1:26:14he rejected the opportunity to fulfill his lifelong dream of learning the truth about
1:26:19humanity. Trusting Erwin’s judgment, Levi injected Armin with the serum. Armin, taking the form of a
1:26:26Pure Titan, ate Bloodborne, inheriting the incredible power of the Colossal Titan.
1:26:42Hours later, Eren, Mikasa, Hange, and Levi proceeded to Eren’s childhood home. In the
1:26:48cellar, they uncovered hidden books in Grisha’s desk. These books revealed a shocking truth:
1:26:54humanity was alive beyond the walls. Yet, they viewed the Eldians of Paradis as not
1:27:00just a threat but a stain to be cleansed from the world. At last, Eren understood the identity
1:27:06of their true enemy. Not the Titans nor the Warriors. Their true enemy was the entire world.
1:27:14Upon returning to Trost, Eren and Mikasa were imprisoned for insubordination. Days later,
1:27:20they were released and brought to the capital to present Grisha’s revelations to the Monarchy.
1:27:25During the deliberation, Eren finally realized the truth behind the identity of the Smiling
1:27:31Titan. That it was his “half-mother”, Dina Fritz, and that her royal blood must have
1:27:35had something to do with why he was able to control the Titans for a split second a few
1:27:40months prior. Keeping this revelation to himself, Eren sat quietly while Historia declared that,
1:27:47no matter how world-shattering it may be, she had a duty to share the truth to her people.
1:27:53Following a memorial for their fallen soldiers, the Scouts who had survived were given medals
1:27:56for not only retaking Wall Maria but lifting Paradis out of ignorance. During this ceremony,
1:28:03when Historia touched Eren, his father’s memories of his own future were revealed to
1:28:08him. In these memories of the future, he saw his inescapable march toward freedom that he
1:28:13had no choice but to pursue. From that moment onward, Eren knew that he was to become the
1:28:20very thing he had feared—not a murderer or a warmonger, but a slave to his own destiny.
1:28:51Following their failure on Paradis, the Warriors returned to Marley, where
1:28:54Ymir’s Jaw Titan was passed to Porco Galliard, Marcel’s younger brother. In the wake of this,
1:29:00Marley’s loss of both the Female and Colossal Titans became public knowledge. Observing this
1:29:06lapse in dominance, the Mid-East Allied Forces, a coalition of rival nations,
1:29:11declared war on Marley. Faced with the looming threat of yet another prolonged war, Marley put
1:29:17the Paradis Island Operation on indefinite hold. Before being sent to fight in Marley’s new war,
1:29:23Zeke secretly met with Kiyomi Azumabito, a representative of the Azumobito clan from
1:29:29Hizuru. In this meeting, Zeke presented her with his plan to help Paradis restore Eldia
1:29:35to its former glory. According to this plan, Paradis would unleash a fraction of the Wall
1:29:40Titans to devastate the world’s major powers, buying them the time necessary to modernize
1:29:45their military and establish alliances with smaller nations. He proposed that
1:29:49Hizuru aid in their development in exchange for access to Iceburst Stone, an exceptionally
1:29:55rare resource that fueled the Scouts’ ODM gear. By the winter of 850, nearly every Titan within
1:30:01Wall Maria had been eradicated using Hange’s “Executioner from Hell”. In the spring of 851,
1:30:07roughly a year after the Battle of Trost, the military formally announced that citizens of
1:30:12Paradis could safely return to Wall Maria. For the first time in six long years, the Scouts finally
1:30:19resumed their mission of exploring the world beyond the Walls, finally free from the threat
1:30:24of Titans. After days, or possibly even weeks of travel, the Scouts made it to the sea. But where
1:30:31everyone else saw a vast expanse of water, Eren saw a path toward freedom—a way to liberate his
1:30:38friends from the enemy that lay beyond the sea Soon after, Marley sent a survey fleet to assess
1:30:44the situation on Paradis. The Scouts intercepted the fleet, capturing a soldier and chef named
1:30:50Nicolo alongside crates of Marleyan wine that, unknown to them, were infused with Zeke’s spinal
1:30:55fluid. When the second ship arrived, it too was intercepted. However, this time,
1:31:00two soldiers aboard–Yelena and Onyankopon—staged a mutiny under the direct order of Zeke Jaeger
1:31:07Following this confrontation, the two soldiers met with Scout Commander Hange as well as Levi. In
1:31:13this meeting, they revealed detailed knowledge of Marley’s military capabilities, weaponry,
1:31:18and ongoing war with the Mid-East Allied Forces. The meeting concluded with Yelena
1:31:24finally revealing her allegiance with Zeke and delivering a letter that proposed a plan to
1:31:28resolve the conflict between Paradis and Marley, however, for this plan to work, it required both
1:31:34the Founding Titan and a Titan of royal blood. As their relationship with the Marleyan refugees
1:31:40strengthened, the Scouts, and subsequently Paradis, began to learn more about the culture,
1:31:45politics, religion, and technology of the greater world. In learning this,
1:31:50their ignorance transformed into hope that one day they might stand side by
1:31:54side with the rest of the world. To do so, they launched a full-scale modernization effort. In
1:32:00accordance with this plan, the people of Paradis rebranded themselves as the nation of Eldia.
1:32:06The next year, Eldia welcomed its first official visitors from Hizuru, led by Kiyomi Azumabito.
1:32:12Upon her arrival, Kiyomi sought out any remaining direct descendants of the Azumabito clan,
1:32:17quickly identifying Mikasa as the last of their lineage. Afterwards, Kiyomi met with
1:32:23the monarchy to discuss Zeke’s proposal to start a small-scale Rumbling. This drastic measure,
1:32:28she argued, would buy Paradis the time needed to modernize its military and stabilize its
1:32:33position in the global arena. In exchange, Hizuru would gain access to Paradis’s natural resources,
1:32:40especially the highly sought after Iceburst Stone. After Paradis agreed to her proposal,
1:32:45Kiyomi returned to Hizuru to secure their cooperation. However, Hizuru, realizing its
1:32:50monopoly over Paradis’ valuable resources, chose to exploit this advantage rather than
1:32:56assist in fostering international relationships or modernizing Paradis’ infrastructure. When
1:33:01Hange received word of Hizuru's refusal, she concluded that if the world would not help Eldia
1:33:06reshape their image, they would do it themselves. The following year, Yelena secretly met with Eren
1:33:13to discuss Zeke’s euthanization plan, urging him to take decisive action to pressure the
1:33:18military into compliance. Floch overheard the conversation and was later confronted by Eren,
1:33:24who assured him that while he claimed to agree with Zeke, he had his own vision to save Eldia.
1:33:30When he was to eventually come into contact with his brother, he would enact the full power of
1:33:35the Rumbling, leaving the Eldians of Paradis as the world's last remaining inhabitants.
1:33:41Later that year, the veteran Scouts ventured into Marley to find ways to foster alliances
1:33:46and reshape the world’s perception of the Eldians of Paradis. Soon after their arrival,
1:33:51they met with Kiyomi, who warned them that their search for allies would likely be far more
1:33:56difficult than they first assumed. Meanwhile, Eren saved a boy named Ramzi from being beaten by a
1:34:01group of Marleyans for pickpocketing. This act of kindness conflicted deeply with the inevitability
1:34:07of his future actions. Why save a child from harm, or do any good deed for that matter,
1:34:13when he knew that in less than a year they were all destined to perish at his hand? Unaware of
1:34:18the internal conflict ailing Eren, Ramzi led Eren to a cliff overlooking his home.
1:34:24When Mikasa eventually found him, he asked her a simple yet profound question “What am I to
1:34:30you?” She family-zoned his ass so he decided to destroy the planet <3. Immediately following this,
1:34:39the Scouts were invited by the refugees to join them in a night of celebration. Unknown to the
1:34:45Scouts, this would be the last fleeting moment of joy before their world was thrust into war.
1:34:51The next day, the Scouts attended a public forum where they learned that while global perception
1:34:56of Eldians was improving, this progress stemmed from the world’s shared hatred of the Eldians of
1:35:02Paradis. This revelation cemented Eren’s belief that a peaceful resolution was not just unlikely,
1:35:09it was impossible—made clear to the Scouts as they watched Eren leave the meeting. Unknown to them,
1:35:15this would be the last they saw of Eren for months as directly after this moment
1:35:20he would ally with Zeke who formulated a plan for Eren to infiltrate Marley. By doing so,
1:35:26he would be holding himself hostage in enemy territory to force Eldia to invade Marley.
1:35:31In 854, the war between Marley and the Mid-East Allied Forces came to a head at
1:35:36Fort Slava. Marley’s objective was to neutralize the Allied fleet stationed in the harbor near the
1:35:42fort. Lacking naval superiority, their strategy hinged on capturing the fort and using its own
1:35:48artillery to obliterate the fleet. The assault was led by 800 Eldian soldiers,
1:35:53along with the last remaining Titans in Marley’s possession, those being the: Jaw, Cart, Armor,
1:35:58and Beast Titans. Last but not least were the next generation of Warrior candidates:
1:36:03Gabi Braun, Falco Grice, Udo, and Zofia, all of which fought diligently to secure their place
1:36:10as the next in line to inherit Reiner’s armor. As the Battle of Fort Slava raged, the Marleyan
1:36:15military became overwhelmed by the Allied Forces’ advanced weaponry, the crown jewel
1:36:20of which were their armored trains equipped with state-of-the-art anti-Titan artillery.
1:36:25To overcome this obstacle without risking one of the Nine Titans or more Eldian infantry,
1:36:31Gabi disguised herself as a civilian before using a bundle of grenades to derail one of the armored
1:36:36trains, creating an opportunity for Reiner and Zeke to launch a coordinated attack. In
1:36:42the midst of the chaos, Eren infiltrated the Marleyan army, going so far as to sever his
1:36:47own leg and stab his eye to mask his identity. Above the battlefield, Zeke transformed dozens
1:36:54of spinal-fluid infused Eldians into Titans. Dropped from an airship, the Titans rained
1:36:59chaos upon the Allied forces. As Reiner joined the assault, he single handedly dismantled much
1:37:05of the fort’s artillery, sustaining significant injuries in the process. When the fort was clear,
1:37:10Zeke launched a volley of artillery at the Allied Fleet, ensuring Marley’s ultimate victory.
1:37:15After the battle, the Mid-East Allied Forces were forced to surrender, finally ending the
1:37:20war on Marley’s terms. While this victory may have reminded the world of Marley’s current dominance,
1:37:26Commander Theo Magath warned the Marleyan military’s leadership that their state of
1:37:31superiority was no doubt fleeting. While Marley had relied on Titans to maintain supremacy, their
1:37:37adversaries, forced to innovate in other ways, had quickly advanced technologically. And with
1:37:43the world on the cusp of aerial warfare, Marley’s capabilities were soon to be eclipsed entirely.
1:37:49In response to this, Zeke proposed they resurrect the Paradis Island Operation. By committing all
1:37:55available resources, Marley could reclaim not only the island’s resources and Founding Titan
1:38:01but potentially all Nine Titans, cementing their dominance and avenging their prior failures.
1:38:06Later that night, Eldian soldiers returning from the war celebrated their victory aboard
1:38:11a train bound for Liberio. Amidst the revelry, Falco sought confidence in
1:38:16Reiner about his fears for Gabi–that her ambition would earn her the Armored Titan,
1:38:21condemning the girl he liked to a life of warfare and an early grave. Taking the advice of Reiner,
1:38:27Falco vowed to train harder than ever before and claim the Armored Titan for himself to save Gabi.
1:38:33Sometime after arriving in Liberio, Zeke gathered with the other Warriors as well as Colt Grice,
1:38:39his successor and Falco’s older brother. During the meeting, Zeke shared his strategy for
1:38:44convincing Marley to prioritize the Paradis Island Operation. His plan focused on enlisting the
1:38:50prestigious Tybur family who, in the past century, had fostered relationships the world-over. By
1:38:56leveraging this status, Zeke hoped the Operation would not only gain Marley’s full support but
1:39:01also the backing of other nations, setting the stage for a global conflict against Paradis.
1:39:08Sometime afterward, Zeke met with Eren in secret, making sure they were still on the
1:39:12same page about enacting his euthanization plan. Eren, playing into Zeke’s nihilistic outlook,
1:39:18stated that the world would be better off if he had not been born and that he would gladly
1:39:23go along with his plan. Zeke, who had been looking forward to this moment since he first
1:39:28learned of Eren’s existence, shared how proud he was of Eren, however, internally, he still
1:39:33reserved his full trust until the time was right. While roaming around Liberio, Falco stumbled upon
1:39:40Kruger, the identity Eren had adopted after defecting to Marley. Following a
1:39:45quick conversation about the effects of war, Eren asked Falco to do him a simple favor.
1:39:50Seeing as all letters from inside the Internment Zone were checked by Security, he asked if Falco
1:39:55would use his Warrior candidate status to deliver his letter from outside the Interment Zone. Falco
1:40:01eagerly accepted the request, running as fast as he could to help someone he barely even knew.
1:40:08Unknown to Falco, this letter was addressed to the Scouts, telling them when and where to strike
1:40:13if they wanted to rescue both him and Zeke. When the Tyber family eventually arrived at
1:40:18Liberio, they immediately began planning the festivities. Willy Tyber, the current face of
1:40:24the Tyber family, headed these festivities, the goal being to share the truth about the Great
1:40:29Titan War to every major nation. In doing so, he would bestow upon the world a new hero as well
1:40:36as a common enemy. The following day, while the Warriors helped plan the initial stages of the
1:40:41renewed Paradis Island Operation, Willy Tyber pulled a few strings in order to gather nearly
1:40:47every world leader for the festival in Liberio. The next day, Magath met with Willy to discuss
1:40:53the possibility of an attack by Paradis during his speech. Despite the danger,
1:40:58Willy decided that he would lay down his own life if it meant that the world might rally
1:41:03around his cause. Later that day, just a few minutes before Tyber took the stage,
1:41:08Falco would be coerced by Eren to invite Reiner to meet with him in a cellar under the stage.
1:41:14When the theatrics began, Willy revealed a shocking truth to the world—that Helos was
1:41:20a false savior, and Karl Fritz was the true hero behind the Great Titan War. As he shared
1:41:27this information, Yelena, posing as a Marleyan officer, led Porco and Pieck into a trap. When
1:41:33Willy’s theatrics ended, he invited the world to join together to stop the true enemy, not Eldians
1:41:40nor the people of Paradis, but the true devil at hand named Eren Jaeger.
1:42:03With Eren revealed, the Scouts began their infiltration, with most of the veteran Scouts
1:42:08using the improved anti-personnel ODM Gear to take out as many Marleyan forces as they
1:42:13could. In the ensuing chaos, Zofia was crushed by a boulder. Udo, in a failed attempt to rescue her,
1:42:20was trampled to death by the crowd of escaping civilians. As Colt and Gabi
1:42:24took Udo’s body to a hospital, Porco and Pieck were rescued by Pieck’s Panzer Unit.
1:42:29Simultaneously, Willy’s sister, Lara Tyber, transformed into the War Hammer to avenge her
1:42:35brother. When Eren was subdued, Mikasa arrived just in time to save him. As she did so, Eren
1:42:41spotted the location where Lara was controlling her Titan from. Using Mikasa as a distraction,
1:42:47Eren grabbed the crystal that encased Lara’s body. Just then, Porco latched onto Eren’s
1:42:53neck. Acting fast, Levi sliced his jaw muscles, leaving Porco unable to bite down further.
1:42:59As the Warrior unit regrouped to assess the situation, Zeke shifted into the Beast Titan,
1:43:05putting up just enough of a fight to make it look like he was captured against his will. With Marley
1:43:12reinforcements soon to arrive, Armin used the power of the Colossal to decimate the port.
1:43:19Left as Marley’s best hope, Pieck attempted to take out as many Scouts as she could while Porco
1:43:24fought Eren. The Scouts quickly bested Pieck, forcing her to withdraw. In Porco and Eren’s
1:43:30fight, Eren discovered that the true power of the Jaw was that it was the direct counter to Titan
1:43:35hardening. Using this to his advantage, he ripped off Porco’s limbs, using his jaws to crush Lara’s
1:43:42crystal, usurping the power of yet another Titan. With the Beast, Cart, Jaw, and War Hammer out of
1:43:49commission, Gabi and Falco screamed for Reiner’s help. Reiner, lethargic from the years of war,
1:43:55wanted nothing more than to ignore their screams–to die in peace after suffering
1:44:00so much loss. Yet, he could not forgive himself if his inaction led to their deaths. With that,
1:44:08he decided he would continue to fight, knowing that he would either be victorious or finally
1:44:15die–either way, he would get what he wanted. Despite his lack of energy, Reiner managed
1:44:20to save Porco from being eaten by Eren. Knowing they had secured victory, Eren
1:44:25and Mikasa regrouped with the rest of the Scouts in the airship. As the Scouts made their exit,
1:44:30Gabi shot and killed the former Garrison Commander Lobov. Using his ODM gear, with Falco choosing to
1:44:37follow, they boarded aboard the airship where Gabi put a single bullet in Sasha’s chest.
1:45:01Upon their return to Paradis, Eren, Gabi, and Falco were imprisoned while Zeke was
1:45:06put under the surveillance of Levi, who took him out into the forest to keep him isolated
1:45:11from Eren. Taking extra precaution, Levi brought with him a group of Scouts who insisted that they
1:45:17brought along a crate of rare Marleyan wine. Meanwhile, on the other side of the sea,
1:45:22the rest of the world’s nations joined forces to put an end to the threat of Paradis once and
1:45:27for all. The first step in this plan was sending Pieck and Porco to infiltrate the Eldian Military.
1:45:34About a month later, Gabi and Falco escaped their imprisonment, where they were found by Kaya,
1:45:39the girl Sasha had saved five years prior. Despite knowing they were from Marley,
1:45:44Kaya took them to the Brause estate, where they were given food and shelter.
1:45:48By this point, Flock had recruited three other Scout recruits to his and Eren’s crusade.
1:45:53These Scouts were: Holger, Wim, and Louise, the girl Mikasa saved back during the Battle
1:45:59of Trost. Guided by Eren’s extremist ideology, these four would become the first ever Jaegerists,
1:46:06a group that would be defined for their brazen imperialist values. While collecting intelligence,
1:46:11the group learned that the Military Police were planning to strip Eren of the Founding Titan.
1:46:17Fully aware that the public viewed Eren as a war hero, they leaked his imprisonment to the public.
1:46:22This information drove a wedge within both the public and the military, splitting the island into
1:46:28two distinct factions: those who were loyal to the government and those who were loyal to Eren.
1:46:35Soon after, Flock, Holger, Wim, and Louise were arrested for leaking confidential information.
1:46:42Afterwards, the government began investigating Eren’s actions prior to his trip to Marley. In
1:46:47retaliation, the Jagerists, who at this point were a noticeable minority within the military,
1:46:53assassinated Premier Zachary. Using the ensuing chaos as a smoke screen, the Jeagerists broke
1:46:59Eren out of prison, allowing them to continue toward their ultimate goal of reuniting Eren
1:47:04and Zeke. In the wake of this, Pixis, fully aware that the Jeagerists had infiltrated their ranks,
1:47:11opted to surrender in order to learn the goals of the Jaegersits and negotiate for peace.
1:47:17The following day, the Brause family was invited to Niccolo’s restaurant in honor of Sasha.
1:47:23During this dinner, Gabi and Falco met with Niccolo, revealing that they were Warrior
1:47:27candidates who had gotten there by sneaking aboard an airship. Niccolo instantly deduced that this
1:47:33meant Gabi shot Sasha, who he had come to love despite her Eldian heritage. In a fit of rage,
1:47:39he attempted to strike Gabi with a bottle of wine. Acting fast, Falco pushed Gabi
1:47:45out of the way, absorbing the strike himself. While unconscious on the ground, Falco ingested
1:47:50a bit of the wine before Niccolo dragged both of them in front of the Brause family, revealing to
1:47:56everyone that they were the ones who killed Sasha. The Scouts, who had recently arrived,
1:48:02overheard this and attempted to de-escalate the situation. Mr. Brause, Sasha’s father,
1:48:08successfully did so by relieving Niccolo of his knife, stating that the adults needed to
1:48:13shoulder the burden of forgiveness to finally stop the cycle of vengeance that had ravaged
1:48:19their children. Witnessing this act of grace, Gabi finally realized that there were never any devils
1:48:25on the island–that they were all just people. With the situation de-escalated, Armin and Mikasa
1:48:33took Gabi to another room. Meanwhile, Niccolo revealed to Hange that the wine Falco consumed
1:48:39likely contained Zeke’s spinal fluid, and that he had been ordered by Yelena to serve it to as
1:48:45many high-ranking Eldian Officers as he could. Just then, Jaegerists entered the restaurant,
1:48:51taking the Scouts as prisoners while Eren ambushed Armin and Mikasa. In this confrontation,
1:48:56Eren told them that everything he was doing was of his own accord–that he wasn’t being tricked
1:49:02or blackmailed to help Zeke. Additionally, he sowed seeds of doubt in their minds,
1:49:08telling Armin that his love for Annie was because of Blasphemous Blade’s memories and that Mikasa’s
1:49:13proclivity to protect Eren was the result of her Ackermann DNA-both of which were blatant
1:49:19lies. This was a strategic choice made by Eren, a carefully procured selection of lies that were
1:49:26targeted toward their deepest vulnerabilities. But his goal was not to break them as people. No,
1:49:33he only wanted to break their friendship. Destroy their seemingly unbreakable bond so that when the
1:49:38time came, they would be able to do what was necessary to put an end to his terror. But
1:49:44as the meeting went on, Eren knew that words alone weren’t enough. He took action to show
1:49:51them how truly far-gone he had become. When he was done demonstrating his heartlessness,
1:49:57he took them as hostages to Shiganshina where he and Zeke were planning to meet.
1:50:02When Levi was told about the Jaegerist coup within the Military, he planned to put an end
1:50:06to Eren’s schemes by transferring the Beast Titan to someone else. However, before he could do so,
1:50:12Zeke let out a scream, turning everyone in Levi’s detail who had consumed the wine into
1:50:18Titans. Left with no other choice, Levi killed every last one of his comrades-turned-Titans
1:50:24before going after Zeke. Simultaneously, Flock and the Jaegerists interrupted Shadis’ Cadet
1:50:30training to recruit additional forces, all of which were taken to Shiganshina
1:50:35alongside the rest of the Eldian military. Hours later, to keep Zeke from escaping,
1:50:41Levi impaled him with a Thunder Spear, attaching its pin to Zeke’s neck to restrict his movement.
1:50:47Willing to risk anything to meet up with Eren, Zeke purposefully detonated the Thunder Spear,
1:50:52blowing himself in two and fatally wounding Levi. Enroute to Shiganshina, Flock, Hange,
1:50:58and the others in their group heard the explosion. When they arrived at its source,
1:51:03they found Levi on the brink of death. Just as Flock was about to finish him off, a nearby
1:51:08Titan that Zeke had used to shield himself began releasing steam. Using this as a distraction,
1:51:14Hange grabbed Levi’s body and leaped into the river. Focusing on their primary mission,
1:51:19Flock and the others escorted Zeke to Shiganshina while Hange took Levi to a secluded spot in the
1:51:24wilderness where she tended to his wounds. In Shiganshina, Yelena met with Armin, Mikasa,
1:51:30Connie, and Jean to explain Zeke’s euthanization plan. Meanwhile, Eren met with Gabi, ordering her
1:51:37to use a radio to contact any possible Marleyan spies within the Walls. Just then, Pieck held
1:51:43Eren at gunpoint, attempting to take him hostage. Eren quickly called her bluff, stating that she
1:51:48had no power over him because she was likely given direct orders to not kill him. Pieck then lied,
1:51:55telling Eren that she would reveal the true enemy to him if he could guarantee freedom for Eldians.
1:52:01On the roof, she fulfilled her promise by showing Eren who the true enemy was. This signaled to
1:52:07Porco to break the floor beneath Eren’s feet in an attempt to consume him. He failed to do so
1:52:13however, giving Eren an opportunity to transform. With the Founder flushed out into the open, Marley
1:52:19began their air assault on Paradis. Eren was told by Yelena to leave his Titan form and find safety;
1:52:27however, when Eren saw Reiner descend upon his old home, he couldn’t resist the confrontation.
1:52:34As Eren battled Reiner, Onyankopon released Armin, Mikasa, Connie, and Jean from imprisonment,
1:52:40where they decided to protect Eren–trusting that he was using Zeke to start a small-scale Rumbling.
1:52:46To help them accomplish this, they gathered both Eldian soldiers and Jaegerist forces,
1:52:51both of which could at least agree that protecting Eren was their best option.
1:52:55Outside, Eren was overwhelmed by the Marleyan assault until Zeke made his grand appearance.
1:53:01However, after destroying the Marleyan airships, Zeke was shot down from atop the wall. Eren,
1:53:07still overwhelmed by the other Titans, attempted to push toward Zeke. Meanwhile, Falco was returned
1:53:13to Colt and Gabi, who planned to try and convince Zeke not to use his scream. When Zeke regained
1:53:19clarity, he prepared to follow through with the mass transformation. Just before he did so, Colt
1:53:25pleaded for Zeke to wait just long enough to get Falco out of range. Zeke, faced with risking his
1:53:32life’s purpose if he were to fail, apologized to Colt before letting out a blood curdling scream.
1:54:16Following the mass transformation, Zeke commanded Falco’s Pure Titan to attack Reiner. Fighting two
1:54:22Titans at once, Reiner had to decide whether to kill Falco or let Eren go. However, as Falco
1:54:29began biting Reiner’s nape, Reiner was presented with a third option: to let Falco eat himself,
1:54:36saving Falco’s life and ending his own torment. Just then, Porco emerged from his crippled Titan
1:54:43body prompting Falco to eat him instead. Flush with anger, Reiner punched Eren in the face for
1:54:49letting yet another one of his friends die. Using this against him, Eren hardened his body,
1:54:55freezing Reiner in place as he leaped out of his Titan body and made a run for Zeke. As he did so,
1:55:01Gabi grabbed hold of Colt’s Anti-Titan Rifle, aiming directly at Eren’s head.
1:55:46The instant Eren made contact with Zeke, Zeke’s consciousness ascended to the Paths,
1:55:52where he remained for what felt like years before Eren arrived. In this time,
1:55:57he found a way to nullify the vow renouncing war, which gave him full control over the Founding
1:56:02Titan’s abilities. Despite this, he would not use this power to enact his euthanization plan,
1:56:08instead, he wanted to confirm his suspicions about Eren’s true intentions to see if he was
1:56:14truly free from their father’s influence. When Eren finally ascended to the Paths,
1:56:19he found Zeke chained to the ground. Zeke explained that these chains were a
1:56:23representation of Karl Fritz’ vow renouncing war, however, this was a lie he used in order to learn
1:56:30what Eren would do when he thought he had control of the Founder. Playing right into Zeke’s hand,
1:56:36Eren revealed that he would never go along with the euthanization plan. Heartbroken,
1:56:41Zeke broke free of his bondage, revealing what he had done in the time before Eren arrived. He then
1:56:47stated that it was not Eren’s fault that his mind was hell-bent on seeking war–that it was
1:56:52their father’s corruption which had driven him into thinking the way he did. But like Ksaver
1:56:58did to him, he would show Eren the truth. Using the power of the Founder, Zeke guided
1:57:04Eren through the memories of their father. While Zeke’s intention was to prove to Eren that his
1:57:09interpretation of Grisha’s actions was correct, he was instead faced with reality–that his father
1:57:16was simply a man who made more mistakes than he could count. As they roamed through years
1:57:23of Grisha’s memories, Zeke learned that his father didn’t indoctrinate Eren like he had done
1:57:28to him. That he had learned from his mistakes, and though Eren was to eventually inherit the
1:57:33Attack and Founding Titans, Grisha allowed him to remain an innocent child for as long as he could.
1:57:40When Grisha’s memories eventually lead them to that fateful day, Eren, a witness to his own
1:57:46future, knew what he was destined to do. As he saw Grisha get crushed under the weight of destiny,
1:57:52Eren knelt down beside his broken father, reminding him of all the things that led him
1:57:58to this very moment. The terror and violence that shaped him into the avatar of Eldia’s vengeance.
1:58:05That within him lied motive; all he had to do was simply act upon it. When the deed was done,
1:58:13Zeke was faced with his father, who apologized for turning him into a soldier of Eldia instead
1:58:19of seeing him as his son. He then pleaded to Zeke that stopping Eren was imperative,
1:58:25for if he did not, Eren would end the world. When they returned to the Paths, Zeke realized
1:58:31the weight of what Grisha told him–that Eren had used him to manipulate the past itself to
1:58:38accomplish his goal. To stop him from doing so, Zeke ordered Ymir to take the ability to reproduce
1:58:44from all of her Subjects. Determined to stop his brother, Eren sprinted toward Ymir to convince her
1:58:51that she wasn’t a slave or a god–she was a person who didn’t have to obey anyone,
1:58:57including himself. When Zeke caught up to them, Ymir, acting on her own will,
1:59:04entrusted Eren with her immense power. Without hesitation, Eren’s first act was to undo all Titan
1:59:12hardening. In doing this, the Titans within the Walls of Paradis were free to trample the world.
1:59:44Immediately following the start of the Rumbling, Annie was released from her crystalline prison
1:59:49where she was quickly confronted by Hitch who assisted her in escaping the Interior. Meanwhile,
1:59:54Connie and Jean, who had witnessed Falco eat Porco, captured him to secure the power of the
2:00:00Jaw Titan. As Eren and the Wall Titans began their march toward civilization,
2:00:04he contacted all Subjects of Ymir, informing them that the Rumbling had begun and that he intended
2:00:11to continue until the people of Paradis were the last that remained of humanity.
2:00:16With Eren’s intentions clear to all, Mikasa, Armin, Jean,
2:00:19and Connie discussed the repercussions of Eren’s choice. Armin, in particular, was adamant that
2:00:25genocide was not the answer to their problems. However, with no clear way to stop Eren, the
2:00:30focus instead shifted to Falco. Connie insisted that they feed him to his mother, while Armin
2:00:36offered to return him to Reiner and finally end the cycle of revenge. Connie, likely aware that
2:00:42Armin could convince him if given enough time, took Falco hostage and made his way to Ragako.
2:00:48In the midst of the chaos, as the Brause family was fleeing from danger,
2:00:52Kaya was once again face to face with a Titan. Like Sasha had before her, Gabi saved Kaya from
2:00:58the Titan, prompting the both of them to abandon their hatred. Soon after, with the
2:01:03combined efforts of the Scouts, Shiganshina was cleared of Titans. No longer in immediate danger,
2:01:09Armin and Mikasa met with Gabi, who Armin hoped would help them form an alliance between them
2:01:14and the Warriors. To demonstrate his good will, he agreed to help Gabi rescue Falco from Connie.
2:01:20Meanwhile, in Liberio, the Subjects of Ymir pleaded for the Marleyan officers to inform
2:01:25the government of the impending Rumbling. When the officers refused to listen, Annie’s father
2:01:30incited a revolt, allowing them to hijack a train and travel south to escape the Rumbling.
2:01:36On Paradis, Flock and a group of Jaegerists gathered the Marley volunteers, forcing them to
2:01:41submit to their newly established Eldian Empire or face self-appointed judgment. Jean, though
2:01:48horrified by the actions of Flock, was presented with two options: live a life of ignorance and
2:01:54luxury with the Jaegerists or fight for what he knew was the right thing to do. During this same
2:01:59period, Hange and Levi met with Magath and Pieck to propose an alliance in order to stop Eren. Soon
2:02:06after, Mikasa joined Hange’s group before meeting with Jean later that night. Despite his desire
2:02:12to live a life of peace, Jean made the difficult decision to join Hange and the others, sacrificing
2:02:18his comfort for the betterment of humanity. The next day, Connie and Falco arrived in
2:02:23Ragako. Just as Connie was about to trick Falco into being eaten by his mother, Armin and Gabi
2:02:29arrived to rescue him. Connie immediately grabbed hold of Falco, dragging him up where he could
2:02:33drop him. Just then, Armin, prepared to sacrifice his own life to do what was right,
2:02:41jumped into the Titan’s mouth. Acting fast, Connie grabbed Armin before he was eaten.
2:02:46After making amends with Falco, Connie traveled with the others to Trost where they met with
2:02:51Annie. Sometime after, Armin, Annie, Connie, Falco, Gabi, Mikasa, Jean, Magath, Hange, and
2:02:58Levi agreed to work together to stop Eren after rescuing Yelena and Onyonkopon. Later that day,
2:03:05Flock, Jean, and the Jaegerists gathered in Shiganshina to execute the Marleyan
2:03:10volunteers. Jean, following Armin’s plan, fired four shots into the ground, signaling for Pieck
2:03:16to make her move. Using this as a distraction, Armin and the others gathered supplies and
2:03:21made their way out of Trost to regroup with Magath and Reiner. Shadis, witnessing this
2:03:26selfless alliance, decided to follow the group. Predicting their next move, Flock gathered the
2:03:32Jaegerists to take the port before anyone else could. When the Scouts, Warriors, and Volunteers
2:03:38regrouped, they set up camp for a final night of rest before they left the island. As the sun set,
2:03:44the group aired out their grievances, bringing resolution to their contentious
2:03:48pasts before they moved forward as one. The next morning, the group traveled to the port
2:03:54to secure the Azumobito's flying boat, immediately learning that the Jaegerists had taken the port
2:03:59for themselves. Acting fast, Armin devised a plan that involved him and Connie telling Flock
2:04:05that the Marleyans were acting alone in trying to kill Eren and that they needed to get the
2:04:09Azumobito engineers to fix the flying boat as soon as possible so they could stop them. Upon hearing
2:04:16this, Flock, sensing something was off, decided against helping Armin. Just then, Kyomi pinned
2:04:22Flock to the ground, opening an opportunity for Mikasa, Reiner, and Annie to spring into action.
2:04:28As the battle raged, the Scouts and the Jaegerists each suffered devastating losses,
2:04:33including those of the Jaegerist reinforcements, which Shadis took out single-handedly. Alongside
2:04:39this, Falco, trying to tip the scales in their favor, transformed into the Jaw Titan for the
2:04:44first time. While this did give the Scouts the edge they needed, his inexperience with
2:04:49his Titan form forced Magath to cut him free to stop his rampage. As the Scouts neared victory,
2:04:55Flock attempted to sacrifice himself to prevent their escape. While the Scouts assumed he had
2:05:01died, he managed to cling onto the flying boat hoping to stop them at their next destination.
2:05:07When the battle was practically over, the Scouts boarded a tugboat, planning to travel to Odiha,
2:05:12Marley, where they could service the flying boat with the proper equipment. The only
2:05:16exception was Magath, who, alongside Shadis, decided to stay behind to sink a
2:05:21Marleyan cruiser. Inside the cruiser, Magath and Shadis made amends with their past mistakes,
2:05:27finding solace in the fact that they had both somehow molded mere children into the heroes that
2:05:31were going to save the world. As Magath readied his rifle to blow the ship, they shared their
2:05:36names with one another before he fired a single shot, engulfing the ship in an massive explosion.
2:05:54On the other side of the sea, the nations of the world assembled an impenetrable fleet of warships
2:05:59off the coast of Karifa, Marley, with the goal of stopping the Rumbling before it made landfall.
2:06:06Despite the fleet’s incredibly destructive capability, the show of force didn’t even
2:06:11slow Eren’s march which quickly made landfall in Marley. As it did so, the millions of Wall Titans
2:06:17began indiscriminately trampling countless men, women, and children—leaving behind a barren world
2:06:24populated only by evidence of Eren’s wraith. As his Titans trampled the world, Eren, with
2:06:54unfettered access to Ymir’s power, found himself caught in the chaotic web of time, existing in
2:07:00the past, present, and future simultaneously. Though overwhelmed and shrouded in confusion,
2:07:07one thing remained clear. That all of this–the death, the destruction, the pain–was his fault.
2:07:15No matter how much he tried to shift the blame or deceive himself, he couldn’t escape the glaring
2:07:20reality that his shortsightedness had set this catastrophic chain of events into motion. Had
2:07:27someone else inherited this power, perhaps the world wouldn’t have needed to end for his friends
2:07:32to find peace. This very flaw, his inability to imagine another path forward, was the shackle that
2:07:39bound him to his role. It wasn’t destiny that kept him trapped in this loop–it was himself,
2:07:46his limits, and his desire to trample his enemies. Faced with this unbreakable cycle, Eren had no
2:07:53other option than to finish what he had started. Using Ymir’s power, Eren set his story in motion
2:08:00by guiding the Smiling Titan to devour his own mother during the Fall of Wall Maria. Alongside
2:08:06this act, he used the Paths to reach out to his friends, sifting through their memories
2:08:11and offering them a moment of closure. In quiet, heart-wrenching conversations,
2:08:16he gave them the words they needed to hear not to redeem himself but to help them better understand
2:08:21his actions. Yet, once these moments were over, he erased them from their memories, only to be
2:08:27unveiled upon his death, when his horrific actions could be seen in their full context.
2:08:33For Mikasa, however, Eren’s love )and her Ackermann DNA) demanded something different.
2:08:37(Because he couldn’t alter her memories directly), Eren created an alternate path in time in which
2:08:40she confessed her love for him on that cliffside in Marley. In this world, they spent the remainder
2:08:46of his short life together before he succumbed to the Curse of Ymir. It was during this fragile,
2:08:51fleeting dream, that they could finally live lives of peace and solitude that both of them would
2:08:57forever cherish. While he did hide these memories from Mikasa, Eren intended to share them with her
2:09:02not upon his death but when the time was right, offering her the bittersweet truth of what might
2:09:08have been to push her to fulfill her own destiny. When the Scouts arrived in Odiha, they found it
2:09:14had already been evacuated due to the Rumbling. For the next few hours, the Azumobito engineers
2:09:19serviced the flying boat. During this period, Annie told Mikasa that while their goal was noble,
2:09:25she was going to stay behind with Gabi, Falco, and the Azumobito. Meanwhile, Yelena informed
2:09:30the other Scouts that Eren was likely headed toward Fort Salta, an airfield in the southern
2:09:36mountains of Marley. Afterwards, Flock revealed his position before using the last of his strength
2:09:41to empty his gun’s clip. Three of the bullets went wide, striking the aircraft’s fuel tank,
2:09:47which delayed their departure until they could patch it. Escalating tensions further,
2:09:51the Rumbling had arrived faster than expected. Despite all he had done, Hange and Jean remained
2:09:57with Flock before his death, understanding that beneath his facade of arrogance was a man who
2:10:03simply wanted what was best for his people. As the Wall Titans approached the hangar,
2:10:08Hange volunteered to do what she could to delay the Rumbling, allowing the others to escape. Fully
2:10:13aware this was a suicide mission, she assigned Armin as the 15th Commander of the Scout Regiment.
2:10:19Before she left, she and Levi shared a final moment where Levi, for the first time ever,
2:10:25gave Hange the Scout salute, prompting her to “dedicate her heart.” Hange, inspired by her
2:10:31friends, used every last bit of her strength and willpower to do whatever she could to slow
2:10:36the Rumbling. In the end, she died exactly how she wanted to—in a spectacular blaze of glory.
2:10:47As they traveled to Fort Salta, Armin and the others questioned why Eren was allowing them to
2:10:52act in opposition to him. After all, with the power of the Founding Titan he had complete
2:10:58control of all Subjects of Ymir, meaning he could stop them any time he wanted. As they speculated
2:11:04further, Eren pulled them into the Paths to inform them that he would not take away their freedom but
2:11:10that if they wanted to stop him, they would have to strip him of his freedom by ending his life.
2:11:15Meanwhile, aboard the Azumobito ship, Falco began to manifest dreams related to the Beast Titan,
2:11:21the direct result of his consumption of Zeke’s spinal fluid which had turned him into a Titan
2:11:25in the first place. In the most vivid of these dreams, Falco found himself flying high above
2:11:31the clouds. When he eventually shared this with Gabi and Annie, they reasoned that this
2:11:35was no coincidence and likely had to do with his unique Titan abilities. Kiyomi, still ashamed of
2:11:41her selfishness when it came to helping the people of Paradis, decided to put herself and the other
2:11:47Azumobito at risk, by allowing Falco to transform into a Titan to help their friends save the world.
2:11:53When the Liberio refugees arrived at Fort Salta, they found the Marleyan army using
2:11:58the last of their airships to fight against the Rumbling instead of running away. As the airships
2:12:04approached their target, Eren used the power of the War Hammer to summon a husk of Zeke’s Beast
2:12:09Titan. Using this, he destroyed the airships as they rained their explosive payloads atop
2:12:14his massive body. When the last of the airships were gone, the soldiers and civilians within Fort
2:12:19Salta accepted that the end was inevitable. Just then, an aircraft unlike any they had
2:12:25ever seen descended upon the Attack Titan’s body. Leaping from it were the Warriors of
2:12:31Marley and Scouts of Paradis, working side by side to put an end to the Rumbling.
2:12:37Following their initial assault, Armin, faced with the dire reality of the situation,
2:12:42decided that he would use the Colossal to destroy Eren’s body in one minute. Before that time came,
2:12:49Ymir used the free will instilled into her by Eren to summon hundreds of Nine Titans from
2:12:55various points in time. One of these, resembling an okapi, took Armin captive to keep him from
2:13:00using his power. Upon losing consciousness, Armin was transported to the Paths. Meanwhile,
2:13:06the others, faced with hundreds of Titan husks, found themselves on the brink of failure. Pieck,
2:13:12in an attempt to blow up Eren’s nape, was impaled by a War Hammer Titan. Most of the
2:13:17others found themselves suspended under Eren’s body. In this position, Jean and Reiner made
2:13:22their final amends as Mikasa and Levi tried to protect them. Just then, Falco, Gabi, and Annie
2:13:28arrived to save them atop Falco’s flying Titan. As the Warriors and Scouts continued their fight,
2:13:34Armin conversed with Zeke in the Paths. In their conversation, they exchanged their worldviews,
2:13:40with Zeke sharing his nihilistic outlook that had defined his actions since he was just a
2:13:45child. Armin, on the other hand, told Zeke that life wasn’t as meaningless as he made
2:13:49it out to be, that there wasn’t a grand purpose to everything–that life was what you made of it,
2:13:55whether that be big or small; it was about the things you cherished that gave it meaning. For
2:14:01Armin, those things were as seemingly mundane as racing Eren and Mikasa to the tree on the hill
2:14:06in Shiganshina. Suddenly, Zeke realized that he too cherished mundane things like playing
2:14:12catch with Ksaver, but he had never allowed himself to stay in that moment; he always had
2:14:17to look forward toward a grand purpose, never basking in the joy of the simpler things.
2:14:24As Zeke reached this revelation, both he and Armin were confronted by the souls of Bungie,
2:14:29Porco, Grisha, Ksaver, Kruger, (forgot Ymir), and Marcel. Armin and Zeke,
2:14:34two people who were always unlikely to even share the same space, bound together under the greatest
2:14:40unifying force in the world: their humanity. Be it the relationships with the ones they carried
2:14:45closest to their hearts or the passions and dreams that guided their lives, they found common ground
2:14:51within the shared human experience. Though it’s unknown how, this instilled within Bruh, Porco,
2:14:57Grisha, Ksaver, Kruger, and Marcel a new sense of agency, allowing them to join the others in their
2:15:04battle against Eren—opening an opportunity for Mikasa to cut Armin free. Meanwhile, Zeke revealed
2:15:11himself to Levi. While staring out at the vast landscape, Zeke took the opportunity to bask in
2:15:17that singular moment, noting how truly beautiful the world was when he stopped to look at it.
2:15:23Seeing his opening, Levi fulfilled his promise to Erwin by once and for all by ending Zeke’s life.
2:15:29With Eren’s connection to Zeke severed, the Rumbling was immediately halted. Taking this as
2:15:34his cue, Jean grabbed the detonator hanging around Eren’s neck and blew his head off, releasing the
2:15:40Anomaly, which sought to reconnect with Eren. As Reiner held the Anomaly in place, Armin, accepting
2:15:46that his best friend needed to be killed, used the power of the Colossal to destroy Eren.
2:15:55With the battle seemingly won, the Warriors were reunited with their families at Fort Salta. Just
2:16:01then, Eren transformed into a Titan. Colossal in size, Eren made his way toward Armin. Meanwhile,
2:16:07the other Warriors and Scouts decided to finish the job and fight back against Eren. As
2:16:13they began to do so, the Anomaly began to release a gas similar to the one Zeke used in Ragako,
2:16:18which forced Falco, Levi, Mikasa, and Pieck, all of whom were unaffected by the gas, to leave their
2:16:24friends and family behind at Fort Salta. As the inevitability of their deaths was cemented, Connie
2:16:30and Jean decided to do what they had always done and trust in their friends to finish the mission.
2:16:35As Armin and Eren’s colossal Titan’s clashed, Mikasa saw an opportunity to end everything by
2:16:40killing Eren. However, she couldn’t bring herself to do it. It's in that moment that Eren revealed
2:16:46a piece of their alternate life of peace to Mikasa, giving her enough motivation to do
2:16:51what was necessary. As she tied Eren’s scarf around her neck, she called upon her friends
2:16:55to help her reach Eren. When she did so, she didn’t hesitate to slice Eren’s head off,
2:17:01severing him from his cycle torment. In that instant, all of the memories that had been hidden
2:17:07from his friends were revealed, instilling them with a sense of closure just as the battle reached
2:17:12its climactic end. In addition to this, the act of Mikasa killing Eren showed Ymir that
2:17:18even though she loved King Fritz, she didn’t have to obey him. With that, she had finally found the
2:17:24connection she was looking for since her initial death. The very reason she willed the Paths into
2:17:30existence to begin with. Inspired by Mikasa’s love, Ymir gave up her quest to service King
2:17:36Fritz and subsiquently the power of the Titans. With the power of the Titan’s cleansed from the
2:17:42world, every Titan, including: Jean, Connie, Connie's mother, and even the Wall Titans
2:17:48themselves were transformed back into humans. In the wake of this, Mikasa informed Armin
2:17:53that she was going to take Eren’s head back to Shiganshina to give him a proper burial,
2:17:58something the Marleyans wouldn’t allow her to do. Agreeing with her assessment, he provided
2:18:02the Marleyans with a compelling cover story, stating that he was the one who killed Eren,
2:18:07and that without the power of the Titans, they were just as human as Marleyans. At this same
2:18:12time, Mikasa was confronted by the spirit of Ymir who, unbound by the will of King Fritz, made it
2:18:18clear to Mikasa that while she had condemned their world to two thousand years of war, she had also
2:18:23given them the opportunity to fight back against injustice. Ymir, finding solace in this fact,
2:18:29finally relieved herself from the world. Just as Eren had planned, his death had
2:18:41successfully positioned the defected Scouts as the saviors of humanity who
2:18:46had turned against their fellow Eldians to save the world. Similar to the Tyber family,
2:18:51this provided them with worldwide prestige, allowing them to garner peace between the
2:18:56remaining nations of the world. While her friends began to fulfil their role as peacekeepers,
2:19:02Mikasa returned to Paradis where she buried Eren at the base of the tree in Shiganshina.
2:19:07Three years later, the world had just begun to heal the wounds the Rumbling had inflicted
2:19:13upon it. With around 80% of the world’s former population gone, about half of those
2:19:18remaining were left as refugees–their homes destroyed and families torn apart. Meanwhile,
2:19:23the New Eldian Empire, who at this point were under undisputed Jaegerist rule,
2:19:28began building a robust military before the world could retaliate against them. Tensions rising,
2:19:35Armin and the others found themselves returning to their old home, not out of nostalgia but to
2:19:40fulfil their roles as ambassadors of peace on behalf of the Allied Forces, the coalition of
2:19:45nations that survived the Rumbling. Welcoming them with open arms was Queen Historia who
2:19:51feared that her nation could not be redeemed–that the only hope they had left was to put down their
2:19:57weapons and put an end to the cycle of war. Over the next few decades, Mikasa would
2:20:03create a life independent of Eren. With time, she eventually got married, had children, and, after a
2:20:10long life, joined Eren in death. As time pressed onward, the world continued its relentless cycle
2:20:17of growth and decay. Shiganshina, flourishing in peace and withering in war. Yet through it all,
2:20:24the tree remained, a living witness to the absolutes of existence. The peril that
2:20:30anchored people to conflict and the unyielding persistence that inspired them to reach for
2:20:36peace. This eternal push and pull—the destruction that forged renewal, the suffering that spurred
2:20:43progress—mirrored the essence of evolution itself. Like evolution, humanity's journey was without
2:20:50end, a cyclical path that would repeat as long as humans endured. More than just a witness, the tree
2:20:57was a symbol of this evolution, of what survived beyond the transient. Carried within its towering
2:21:04mass remained a lesson. That even amidst chaos and change, some things are destined to endure.
