Full Plot Summary

At a Marleyan military meeting, Zeke proposes to use his last year of life to attack Paradis Island and retake the Founding Titan. However, as none of Marley's scout ships sent to Paradis have returned for the past three years, it is clear that Paradis controls at least two of the Nine Titans. On a train back home, Reiner encourages Falco to become the Armored Titan in place of Gabi to save her from the 13-year life limit. The Eldian soldiers and Warriors arrive home in Liberio, the Eldian internment zone, and reunite with their families. At dinner, Reiner puzzles Gabi when he describes the supposed devil island of Paradis as having "all sorts of people". Zeke informs the Warriors of his plan to use the Tybur noble family and their War Hammer Titan to declare war against Paradis so Marley can retake the Founding Titan and continue colonizing nations.
