Attack on Titan (Japanese: 進撃の巨人 Hepburn: Shingeki no Kyojin, lit. "Attacking/Charging Giant") is a Japanese manga series both written and illustrated by Hajime Isayama. It is set in a fantasy world where humanity lives within territories surrounded by three enormous walls that protect them from gigantic man-eating humanoids referred to as Titans.
The series first began in Kodansha's Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine on September 9, 2009, and it has been collected into 28 tankōbon volumes as of April 2019. Attack on Titan has become a critical and commercial success. As of April 2019, the manga has 90 million tankōbon copies in print worldwide (80 million in Japan and 10 million outside of Japan), making it one of the best-selling manga series.[6][7][8] It has won several awards, including the Kodansha Manga Award,[9] Micheluzzi Awards,[10] and Harvey Award.[11]
The anime television adaptation, produced by Wit Studio, has also been well received by critics with the first three seasons being met with critical acclaim with praise for its story, animation, music and voice acting, and has proved to be extremely successful in both Japan and the U.S., thus boosting the series' popularity. Although it also gained fame in neighboring Asian countries, political interpretations of the series caused controversies in China and South Korea.
Synopsis
Setting
In an alternate reality, a human named Ymir Fritz became a humanoid giant called a Titan (巨人 Kyojin) 1,800 years ago after making a contract with the "Devil of All Earth". Though she died 13 years later as side-effect of her new power, it was divided and passed on through her daughters before being divided into nine individuals who established the Eldian Empire. The Founding Titan remained with the Fritz family as they conquered the Marley nation and ruled over it for 1,700 years. But a century before the events of the main storyline, the Eldian king Karl Fritz was disillusioned by his family legacy and orchestrated his nation's downfall with Marley making the Eldians that remained into second class citizens while threatening to exile them to Paradis as mindless Pure Titans.
Karl took the remainder to the island of Paradis and used countless Colossal Titan bodies to construct a walled city with three enormous curtain walls: the outermost being Wall Maria (ウォール・マリア Wōru Maria); the middle wall is Wall Rose (ウォール・ローゼ Wōru Rōze, sometimes pronounced like rosé) and the innermost is Wall Sheena (ウォール・シーナ Wōru Shīna, alt. "Wall Sina").
Karl then used the Founding Titan's power to erase the memories of most of the Eldians with those unaffected either bribed into nobility or made into outcasts like the Ackerman family who served the Fritz family. Due to the Founding Titan's power, Karl influenced his direct descendants into continuing his work of ruling the Eldians within the walls through promoting fear of attack by Titans, who are Eldians that the Marleyians transformed and exiled on Paradis to terrorize the island's residents.
Due to Karl influencing his direct descendants via the Founding Titan power into continuing the deception, the Eldians on Paradis island believe that they are the only remaining humans and assumed the Titans were responsible. Unlike those who possess the Titan power, the Pure Titans are barely conscious as they instinctively attack and eat any human on sight. Their skin is tough and difficult to penetrate, and they regenerate quickly from injuries, except for a weak spot at the nape of their neck. The Paradis Eldians developed their own military branches to combat the Titans, the foremost being Survey Corps (調査兵団 Chōsa Heidan) who attempt to reclaim territory taken by the Titans and are heavily derided in society because of their apparently senseless high casualty rate and little sense of progress. The second and largest branch is the Garrison Regiment (駐屯兵団 Chūton Heidan), who guard the walls and the civilian populace. The third branch is the Military Police Brigade (憲兵団 Kenpeidan), who guard the royal family and live relatively relaxed lives in the innermost wall, although this eventually results in fraud, corruption, and political subterfuge. The soldiers use a grappling, tethering system called Vertical Maneuvering Equipment (立体機動装置 Rittai Kidō Sōchi) that allow them to jump onto (and swing from) walls, trees, or nearby buildings to attack Titans with dual swords, using gas canisters to propel themselves. However, despite it being the soldiers' primary line of both offense and defense against the Titans, it is useless in open and flat terrain like fields.
Inside the walls, the Paradis Eldians lived in uneasy peace for one hundred years with many people growing up without ever having seen a Titan. But this all changes when a group of Marley Eldians known as the Warriors were dispatched to Paradis to acquire the Founding Titan from Karl Fritz's descendants, the Reiss family. Through the action of the holders of the Colossal Titan and Armored Titan destroying Walls Maria and Rose, they ensured they and their comrades would be able to mingle among the survivors of the resulting massacre, the remaining Paradis Eldians living there being forced into the inner districts with the sudden population influx causing turmoil and famine.
Plot
Eren Jaeger lives with his foster sister Mikasa Ackerman and best friend Armin Arlert in the town of Shiganshina adjacent to Wall Maria, outermost of three circular walls protecting humanity from man-eating Titans that are said to have killed all other humans one hundred years prior. When Shiganshina and Wall Maria are breached by the Colossal and Armored Titans, invading Titans force humanity to retreat behind Wall Rose with Eren's mother among the casualties. Following the disappearance of his father Grisha, having only hazy memories and a key to their home's cellar, a vengeful Eren enlists in the military along with Mikasa and Armin, swearing to eradicate every last Titan.
Five years later, the three cadet graduates are positioned in the Trost district adjacent to Wall Rose when the Colossal Titan breaches the city gate. During the subsequent Titan invasion, Eren is eaten but survives after creating and controlling a Titan's body which he uses to seal Trost's breach. Following a military tribunal over his abilities, Eren is assigned to the Survey Corps squad under Captain Levi, Mikasa, Armin, and many of their fellow cadets following suit. Previously unaware of his abilities, Eren suspects his father's basement holds answers as the Scouts attempt an expedition to Shiganshina. But it fails due to a Female Titan attempting to abduct Eren, Armin deducing the Titan as their fellow cadet classmate Annie Leonhart who possesses abilities akin to Eren's. After a violent battle with Eren in Stohess that ends in Eren's victory, Annie encases herself in crystal to avoid capture. The collateral damage from the fight reveals massive titans within the walls.
Following the appearance of the Beast Titan behind Wall Rose, Eren is kidnapped by his fellow cadets Reiner Braun and Bertolt Hoover, who reveal themselves as the Titans who compromised Wall Maria. The two Warriors explain that they and Annie were sent to retrieve the titan-controlling "Coordinate" power that Eren possesses. Eren manifests this power during an encounter with the Titan who killed his mother, allowing him and his friends to escape while the rogue Titan Shifter Ymir remains behind. The Scouts are then targeted by a conspiracy led by Rod Reiss and learn their fellow cadet Krista Lenz is Rod's illegitimate daughter Historia Reiss. After Eren and Historia were captured by Kenny Ackerman, Rod reveals how his family maintained the order the King established in the walls until Grisha stole the Founding Titan during Wall Maria's fall. Grisha is revealed to be a Titan Shifter who passed his power to Eren, turning his son into a Titan to devour him. Rod intended Historia to reclaim the Founding Titan from Eren, but she refuses to continue the status quo and chooses to save Eren instead. After Rod transforms himself into a gigantic mindless Titan in desperation, Historia kills her father in the ensuing battle, declaring herself as the new queen and using her new status to give the military authority over government affairs. The events also gave Levi a vial of Titan serum and Eren the ability to harden his Titan form, which the Survey Corps decide to implement in sealing Wall Maria's breach along with their new Thunder Spear weapons.
But the Scouts are ambushed by the Warriors and their superior Zeke, the Beast Titan, in a battle that ended with most of their members dead, Armin and Commander Erwin Smith fatally wounded, and Bertolt subdued. Placed in a difficult situation, Levi ultimately decides to use the Titan serum to save Armin instead of Erwin. After Armin acquires the Colossal Titan by devouring Bertolt, the survivors recover Grisha's memoirs from the Yeagers' basement and learn the truth of being descendants of the Eldians who fled to Paradis while those who remained on the main land became second-class citizens in the nation of Marley. Grisha's memoir reveals how he and his wife Dina Fritz, a descendant of the King's bloodline, were restorationists exiled to Paradis when their son Zeke exposed their activities. While Dina turned into the Titan that killed Eren's mother, Grisha was saved by his movement's informant Eren Kruger, before he is given the Attack Titan power and the task to retrieve the Founding Titan. While Eren learns he can use the "Coordinate" through physical contact with anyone of the Fritz bloodline, he also learns the those with the Titan Power have their lifespan shortened.
During the four-year period after the Battle of Shiganshina, Marley engaging a combined offense as conventional anti-Titan weapons are developed, Zeke secretly has his emissary Yelena arrive to Paradis with an envoy from the Hizuru nation who Mikasa's mother is descended from. Zeke proposed passing his Titan power to Historia to help Eren deter foreign invasion until Hizuru modernizes Paradis, the arrangement requiring Historia to sire children to availability of the Founding Titan's power. Eren disapproves of this arrangement and decides to lead an unauthorized infiltration into Marley to extract Zeke. The Warriors fear the military obsolescence may lead to their people's genocide as they work with the influential Willy Tybur, whose family possess the War Hammer Titan, to gain global support for a resumed offensive on Paradis. Tybur holds a rally in the Eldian ghetto of Liberio with foreign dignitaries in attendance, revealing how the Eldian Empire fell was caused by its 145th King and that Eren's actions threaten world peace. Eren confronts Reiner before assassinating Tybur as he openly declares war on Paradis. With the aid of the Survey Corps in the ensuing battle, Eren defeats the War Hammer Titan, steals its power, and extracts Zeke. But on route to Paradis, Eren's friend Sasha Blouse is killed by Gabi Braun, Warrior candidate and Reiner's cousin who stowed away along with her friend Falco Grice.
Eren is detained for insubordination and his friends express doubt in his loyalties to them and Paradis over Zeke, citing Eren killing innocents and being indirectly responsible for Sasha's death. It is revealed that Historia is pregnant, preventing the Corps from immediately passing the Beast Titan to her and forcing them to place Zeke under Levi's watch. Suspected of arranging Historia's pregnancy to prolong Zeke's life, Yelena and her followers are arrested. The military's leaders distrust Eren and plan to relinquish his power following the discovery of his secret correspondence with Zeke and Yelena, prompting nationalist rebels loyal to Eren to assassinate the commander-in-chief. Eren escapes his cell and seeks out Zeke alongside his Yeagerist supporters. Meanwhile, the Warriors infiltrate Paradis in advance of a multinational counterattack against the island. Zeke tries to escape from Levi but is defeated and captured, remaining his past as a Warrior trainee under the mentorship of Tom Xaver, an Eldian scientist and the previous holder of the Beast Titan. Levi transports him to somewhere, during which a Thunder Spear blast unexpectedly leaving both of them mortally wounded. But Zeke is saved by a mysterious titan and found by Floch and the Yeagerists, while Hange escapes with Levi's motionless body by jumping into a river. It also revealed that wine imported from Marley to Paradis contains Zeke's spinal fluid, turning those drank the tainted wine into Titans that act on Zeke's command. Realizing they are at the mercy of Zeke and the Yeagerists, Pixis orders his troops to stand down.
At the same time, Gabi and Falco escape their holding area and unknowingly reached Sasha's home. There, they meet a girl, Kaya, whom Sasha had saved from a Titan four years ago; the girl was then adopted by Sasha's family. They go to a restaurant run by Nicolo, a Marylean soldier who was captured a year after the Shiganshina battle. Nicolo became a chef and made food which was enjoyed by Sasha and the others. Nicolo realizes Gabi ended Sasha's life, and he furiously attacks her with a wine bottle. However, Falco jumps in the way and saves Gabi, with him taking the full force of the bottle. Falco falls unconscious, while Gabi is taken to the Braus family, where they are informed of her role in Sasha's death. Sasha's father forgives Gabi, stating that Sasha was raised as a hunter, and that the world was one big forest full of wild animals, meaning that Sasha knew the consequences of war. As Kaya is restrained from attacking Gabi in anger, Nicolo informs Hange to wash Falco's mouth, because the wine bottle that injured him contained Zeke's spinal fluid.
Eren makes his way to the restaurant and meets with Gabi, Mikasa and Armin. He explains that he knows of the Ackerman clan and how they can manifest Titan powers even though they cannot transform. He states that the Ackermans need a host, or a subject to protect. He states that that Ackermans can experience severe headaches, a sign that their 'real self' is resisting their genetic need to protect their host, something Mikasa has experienced before. Eren states that the real Mikasa disappeared the day he saved her from human traffickers. He derisively calls Mikasa a slave, stating that he always hated her. Enraged, Armin attacks Eren, only to be stopped and slammed onto the table by a surprised Mikasa, proving Eren's point. Eren effortlessly beats up Armin, and then orders him, Mikasa, and Gabi to be taken to Shiganshina and imprisoned. Armin says Eren is the real slave, following Zeke seemingly without question. Jean and Connie had also been imprisoned on the orders of Floch, who has left Survey Corps soldier and is now loyal to the Yeagerists. Floch reveals that he knew of the tainted wine all along. However, when Eren enters Gabi's cell to ask her to help make contact with Marley, he is suddenly ambushed and held at gunpoint by Pieck, the Cart Titan. Eren calls her bluff, however, and in their subsequent conversation, Pieck claims to switch sides, and that she will help him find the other Warriors who have infiltrated Paradis. However, she leads Eren into a trap, and he is attacked by Porco Galliard, the Jaw Titan. As Eren transforms and fights off the attack, Marleyan airships arrive with parachute regiments, and he realizes that Reiner is leading the attack. While Eren fights Porco, Yelena and the Yeagerists manage to make contact with him. Eren ignores her and keeps fighting. Reiner joins the battle and starts to gain the upper hand, with Eren being shot by an anti-Titan weapon. However, Eren is saved by Zeke, who transforms into the Beast Titan.
