Mankind is still confined behind the two surviving walls, threatened by the "Titans" who steal them of their freedom. Efforts to exterminate these creatures continue, but dangers emerge not just from the Titans outside the walls, but also from the humanity within them. Eren Yaeger commits himself to developing his Titan form after being rescued by the Colossal and Armored Titans. Krista Lenz mourns her friend's death, Captain Levi selects Eren and his buddies to create his new personal team, and Commander Erwin Smith heals from his injuries. Everything appears to be going well for the troops until the government requests Eren and Krista's custody. The Survey Corps' recent accomplishments have attracted notice, and a familiar face from Levi's past has appeared.
