"For the past century, what's left of mankind has hidden in a giant, three-walled city, trapped in fear of the bizarre, giant humanoids known as the Titans.

Eren's arrival helps the 104th claim victory at Wall Rose, and the identity of the two Titans destroying the walls is revealed.

Eren is rescued, and he discovers he possesses another power he doesn't understand. While Eren, Krista, and the Survey Corps face new enemies, Ymir faces her fate as the Titans' prize.

"Hange's interrogation of a Military Police squad has revealed that Krista (a.k.a. Historia Reiss) is the true heir to the throne.
