The royal government chooses to make public the facts contained in Grisha Jaeger’s diaries, causing considerable confusion as people attempt to digest the news.

The Scout Regiment is allowed to conduct an excursion past Wall Maria to investigate the country outside a year after the assault on Trost District and six years well after the collapse of Wall Maria.

As Kruger’s health deteriorated, he indicated that he wants Grisha to carry out his plan. When Grisha questioned why Kruger did not execute it himself, Kruger replied that owing to the “Curse of Ymir,” all inheritors of the Nine Titans die in 13 years, and his time had passed.

Floch Forster, Hange Zo, and a group of Jaegerists are on their way to a Forest of Giant Trees when they hear an explosion caused by Zeke Jaeger activating a Thunder Spear. As Zeke’s wounds heal, a Titan creeps up to him and rips open its gut, putting his body within.
Meanwhile, Yelena has gathered Dot Pyxis and other military dissidents in Shiganshina District. Eren Jaeger travels to meet with the incarcerated Gabi Braun to have her put out a distress signal to Marley in return for Falco Grice’s release. A camouflaged Pieck, on the other hand, confronts Eren and pretends she wants to help him eliminate Marley.

Pieck is quickly overrun by the Scouts and is on the verge of being murdered until Falco Grice intervenes.
16. Reply: Season 3 – Episode 5
Erwin Smith argues the Scout Regiment’s necessity before the King and assembled nobility. Without the Scouts to battle the Titans, mankind may suffer civil war if the Walls were broken again, because there would be insufficient food to support both Wall Sina and Wall Rose. His arguments, however, fail, and the nobility demands his execution.
Anka Rheinberger reveals that Wall Rose has been broken, forcing the nobility to confront the situation Erwin just described. Despite Dot Pyxis’ order to evacuate the citizens in Wall Rose, the nobles overrule him and insist that the gates to Wall Sina be locked.

Tired of numerous fights in Liberio, Eren Jaeger defeats Reiner Braun before escaping with Mikasa Ackermann to the Scout Regiment’s airship. Gabi Braun pursues the Scouts as they flee, with Falco Grice attempting to stop her.
Once onboard, she proceeds to assassinate Sasha Braus before being overrun by the Scouts. Jean Kirstein takes the two into another chamber where Zeke is recuperating from the fake combat he had with Levi Ackermann.
Everything had gone according to plan, except a few miscalculations, namely the two children. Hange Zo, on the other hand, is angry with Eren for forcing the Scouts to come to his assistance, and when Sasha dies from her injuries, Jean blames Eren for her death.

Armin Arlelt discovers evidence of hostile activity and leads a party of soldiers in pursuit of the enemy’s hiding location. Reiner Braun is discovered lurking within the Wall, but Levi Ackermann seems unable to eliminate him before Reiner changes into the Armored Titan.
The Beast Titan emerges outside the district, accompanied by a small force of Titans. It throws a boulder through the hole in the inner gate of the Wall, shutting off the district’s only available escape and isolating the Scout Regiment’s horses on the Titan side of the Wall. This closes the Scout Regiment’s sole escape route, forcing them to confront the Titans.
7. Declaration of War: Season 4 – Episode 5
Willy Tybur performs a theatrical presentation of the Eldian past as it is remembered to the rest of the world, only to reveal that the actual conclusion of the Great Titan War was carried on by King Karl Fritz himself, who collaborated with the Tybur family to fabricate the myth of Helos.
The King secluded himself and his people on Paradis Island and made a pledge to forego battle that would be enforced on his descendants, which would have kept the world free from Titans, seeing as how the Founding Titan has now passed to Eren, who is not bound by the same limitations as the royal lineage. Willy calls on the entire globe to join him in declaring war on Paradis.
6. Scream: Season 2 – Episode 12
After Hannes is devoured by the Titan that murdered Eren’s mother, Eren suddenly releases an immense power on the Titan, prompting the other Titans to swarm and rip it apart before pursuing Reiner and Bertholdt away. Ymir abandons the Scouts and joins the Warriors for personal reasons.
The Scouts eventually determine that the Titans that stormed Wall Rose were, in reality, Ragako’s human residents. As Eren commits himself to learning how to harness his newfound power, a recuperating Erwin believes that the world’s secrets will be revealed shortly.

Eren and Mikasa, newly introduced characters, try everything they can to help the boy’s mother, who is buried beneath the rubble of their collapsed house, but they are forced to abandon her when a frightening Titan emerges. Eren watches as the Titan lifts her and eats her right in front of his eyes.
4. Thunder Spears Season 3 – Episode 14
The Scouts at the gate struggle against the Titans owing to previous casualties, but Eren offers a chance for the Scouts to utilize their new Thunder Spear guns against the Armored Titan inside Shiganshina. Hange Squad and Levi Squad are successful in blinding and damaging the Armored Titan’s nape.
3. Hero: Season 3 – Episode 17
Zeke kills the remaining Scout Regiment recruits and bemoans the waste of their lives. He is shocked, however, by Levi Ackermann, whose entrance was concealed by the Scouts’ deflective attack. Levi easily destroys Zeke’s Beast Titan, but just before he can use a Titan injection to feed Zeke to a survivor Scout, the Cart Titan assaults Levi and flees with Zeke.
Zeke dispatches his surviving Titans to kill Levi off. Levi nearly kills his opponent, but they both live to fight another day.
2. That Day: Season 3 – Episode 20
“That Day” briefly returns to the current timeline to show that Eren isn’t simply daydreaming about his father’s history, but is exchanging memories with him. It’s as if he’s been transported back in time to his father’s awareness.
It hints at yet another intriguing progression in how Titans may function across generations, but this episode is complicated enough already without Titan father-son relationship drama being added into the mix.
1. Perfect Game: Season 3 – Episode 16
The Beast Titan’s rock bombardment destroys the Scouts, leaving Erwin Smith, Levi Ackermann, and the recruits as the sole survivors. Erwin bets everything on a final operation, knowing that they would almost certainly die regardless of what occurs. He leads all of the recruits in a fake suicide charge toward the Beast Titan, allowing Levi to approach and kill it unnoticed. This is without a doubt one of the most dramatic moments and episodes in the whole series.
