Full Plot Summary

spoilers

Erwin justifies his decision; evacuation wouldn't matter because Rod's Titan is large enough to knock down all the Walls to get to them, which would destroy humanity. They decide to lure Rod into a trap. The Garrison Corp's cannon barrages have little effect, and Rod reaches the Wall, face and chest eroded from crawling for miles on the ground. The Scouts implement their plan. They ram the Titan's hands with gunpowder-loaded carts, destroying them with the explosion. After the Titan slumps over the Wall, Eren assumes his Titan form and plunges sacks of gunpowder barrels into its mouth. The Titan explodes from within and the Scouts slice through the airborne fragments. Historia is the one who succeeds in destroying the flesh of the nape, killing her father. In doing so, she sees his memories. Back at the Reiss estate, Kenny, mortally wounded from the cavern collapse, recalls his past, including with Levi when the boy was a child, before being found by Levi himself.
