Attack on Titan Chapter 122

Image
Frieda Reiss tells her sister Historia that she should be like the girl in her storybook, because she is kind and always thinking of others. However, the girl lives in a harsh time when her people are enslaved by the Eldian tribe. When one of the slaves lets a pig escape, Fritz, the tribal leader calls for his slaves to identify the culprit or he will gouge out an eye from each of them. The other slaves point to a single girl, Ymir. She is surprised, but bows her head and takes the blame. As a result, she is set loose in a forest and chased by hunters on horseback with dogs and arrows. Blood runs from one of her eyes and she is struck multiple times, but she still runs until she finds a gigantic tree with a crevice at the base of its trunk. Ymir walks inside and stumbles into a chasm, where she falls headfirst and lands in water. A spindly substance is beneath her, lined up with her spine, and tendrils of it reach up to her back as she drifts down. The forest erupts ...

Still inside Grisha Yeager's memories, Zeke is surprised that Eren was raised without the same indoctrination he received. Given Eren's freedom to choose, Zeke is puzzled that Eren would betray him and carry out his father's plans when he received the Attack Titan without being told a thing. However, Eren replies that he has always been this way. The two of them arrive at the memory where Eren killed two of the three robbers who had kidnapped Mikasa Ackerman while they were children, and Zeke is as surprised as Grisha by the bodies. As Grisha scolds Eren as a child, the present day Eren explains that Zeke expected the two of them to be similarly scarred, but Eren fights because that is who he is, and not what his father made him. He is different from Zeke, who Eren sees as a man who can only define himself by his willingness to deny a father who died years ago. Zeke chooses to express gratitude instead, because Grisha opened his eyes to the dangers of Eldia. ...

Attack on Titan Season 3 Episode 22

The military discusses the facts revealed in Grisha Jaeger's journals and the Military Police Regiment is largely against sharing their contents with the general population of the Walls. However, Dot Pyxis points out that doing so would make them the same as the previous Kings, ensuring that the population stays docile and ignorant. Historia Reiss suggests that they announce the truth, because they would simply be returning the memories that King Reiss had taken from them. All of the people of the Walls will share the same fate, so she wants them to unite. As the news goes out, Hange Zoë and Levi Ackermann meet with Roy and Peaure, who are trying to digest the truth that the rest of the population is now learning. Peaure is concerned that they will be invaded in the near future by an enemy that wants to obtain their land and resources, and that their attack actually started five years ago with the arrival of the Colossal Titan. Roy is more concerned about the credibi...

Attack on Titan Season 3 Episode 21

The Owl's Titan kills off the remainder of the soldiers from Marley Public Security in front of a shocked Grisha Jaeger. After they are all dead, he leaves his Titan and climbs back on the wall where he cuts Grisha free of his bonds. He introduces himself as Eren Kruger and explains that he possesses one of the Nine Titans. Like Grisha, he is a Subject of Ymir. He pretended to be a Marleyan and infiltrated Public Security, passing the blood tests with help from a doctor. Kruger says that Grisha had done well, though Grice was right to lament his results. Grisha admits that he has been a poor husband and father, and wonders how it is that he is the only one of the prisoners still standing as a human. He grabs Kruger with the mangled stumps of his hands hard enough that the wounds begin to bleed through his bandages. Grisha demands to know why Kruger did not save his wife Dina since she was of royal blood. If Kruger had gone on his rampage sooner none of the Restorationists...

Attack on Titan Season 3 Episode 20

Grisha and Fay Jaeger find themselves in a larger part of the city beyond the security gate of their neighborhood. They bump into a man who curses them as "devil-bloods" and comments on Eldians going where they please. Fay is uneasy, but Grisha distracts her by showing her the way to where the airship would land. They climb a short set of steps to see a river stretched out before them with a hanger on the other side. As Fay admires the airship, one of two men from Marley Public Security ask if the kids have come to see the airship and whether they have their exit permits. Grisha panics, knowing they do not and have entered the city without permission. Faced with the choice of doing labor or receiving a beating, he chooses a beating, to avoid getting his parents in trouble. He also offers to take on Fay's punishment since he forced her to come with him. The officer's partner tells Kruger to go easy on Grisha and informs Fay that he will escort her home. ...

Attack on Titan Chapter 120

In the middle of the battle in Shiganshina District, Eren Yeager's decapitated head lands in the outstretched hand of his brother, Zeke. This causes Eren to wake up in the desert realm accessible via the paths, where he sees a pillar of light that branches out across the heavens. There he meets an older version of Zeke who sits chained on the sandy ground. Zeke calls this the coordinate where all paths converge. He believes that this realm is where members of the royal family came whenever they used the Founding Titan's power. Zeke is uncertain how long he has been waiting for Eren to awaken, but feels as though it has been years. Though Gabi Braun succeeded in blowing Eren's head off, Zeke was able to make contact with him in the real world before Eren's life ended, allowing the two of them to succeed in gaining the Founder's power. A girl in a ragged dress approaches them and Zeke calls her Ymir, the Founder, because he does not believe anyone else ...

Attack on Titan Chapter 119

As the members of the Marleyan army continue their attack, Reiner recovers and spots Eren approaching the prone Beast Titan. Galliard lunges and halts the Attack Titan by grabbing and biting into its leg. This prompts the Attack Titan to ruthlessly beat down on the Jaw Titan, striking the nape several times and critically wounding Galliard. Eren is then shot once more by Magath atop the Cart Titan; before he can fire again, the Yeagerists come from behind and begin to strike the Cart Titan. Noticing the Cart Titan's position, Armin and Mikasa are pinned down by gunfire from several soldiers; Connie launches a Thunder Spear and orders they take out the Marley soldiers before going to the Cart Titan. Commander Pixis and Nile Dok of the Military Police lead the assault while Yelena silently gazes out from above. Inside the nape of the Beast Titan, Zeke's entire back has been destroyed from the rounds fired from the Cart Titan. He notices he is now on the ground and b...

Attack on Titan Chapter 118

Zeke begins throwing a barrage of boulders, striking the various Marleyan airships and causing them to crash. At the edge of the rooftop, Yelena is overwhelmed with joy at the sight of their destruction. The Beast Titan then proceeds to throw several projectiles towards Pieck, causing her to dive over the side of the Wall. She advises against fighting the Beast Titan at the moment but General Magath refuses, declaring that he will personally pass judgement on Zeke for his betrayal. Just then, Floch and a group of Yeagerists arrive and split into two groups in order to flank them. Galliard lays among the ruins of several buildings and notes that the blow he suffered from the Attack Titan was more severe than anticipated. Nearby, Reiner lays defeated within the mangled remains of the Armored Titan and Eren continues to approach Zeke up on the Wall. Colt and Gabi witness this and Colt orders Gabi to retreat to the evacuation airship; Gabi refuses, wishing to help Colt break Falc...

Attack on Titan Chapter 117

Inside the prison where the Survey Corps and other military prisoners are being held, the walls begin to rattle and Armin Arlert remarks that the Titans have started to move. Above Shiganshina District, Marleyan soldiers parachute down from their airships along with their equipment. Pieck calls out to Porco Galliard to break the chain holding her to Gabi Braun and he complies by severing her wrist from her arm before turning his attention back to Eren Yeager. No longer shackled to Gabi, Pieck throws herself off the roof to give herself the room she needs to transform. As Eren and Galliard fight, Pieck carries Gabi away inside the mouth of the Cart Titan. Eren is caught off guard by the Marleyan surprise attack and Yelena yells for him to leave his Titan so he can hide indoors and use the War Hammer Titan's power to escape underground. However, realizing that this attack has to be the work of Reiner Braun, he ignores Yelena and jumps over the side of the building to wa...

Attack on Titan Chapter 116

As Pieck aims her pistol at Eren Yeager, she orders Gabi Braun to take the dead soldier's rifle and to point it at Eren. She then tells Eren to take his hands out of his pockets or she will shoot him. Eren calls her out, saying that if she truly wanted to, she would have already done so, but Pieck's mission is to capture the Founding Titan, which means that she cannot kill him without eating him. Violating her mission would doom not just her, but her entire family. Pieck makes a show of raising her gun and giving up but says that she had another reason she could not fire. If Eren has the Founding Titan, he might be able to defeat Marley. Meanwhile, several members of the Survey Corps have tea inside their prison cell along with Niccolo and the Blouse family. Connie Springer asks Armin Arlert if he can use his Colossus Titan to get out, but Armin replies that he could, but if he did so he would blast the entire town and that his Titan is not very precise. Jean Kirstein...

As Floch Forster and the other Yeagerists escort Hange Zoë, they hear an explosion off in the distance. As they ponder what it could be, Hange recognizes it as an explosion caused by a Thunder Spear. Zeke Yeager has been gravely injured to the point that only his head and part of an arm remains attached to his torso. He notices that the area around him is quiet and he realizes he is losing not only his hearing, but his vision as well. As he lays dying, Zeke remembers his conversation with his friend and mentor, Tom Xaver, regarding how to get around Karl Fritz's vow to renounce war. If a Titan of royal blood comes into contact with the individual who possesses the Founding Titan, they will be able to draw out its power. However, Zeke would not be able to use the power himself. The decision would remain with the individual who possesses the Founder. Xaver tells Zeke to think of himself as a key and to find an individual he would trust with the Founding Titan. Some time...
