Spoiler-Safe Summary

safe read

Attack on Titan is set in a world where humanity lives within three enormous walls, fearing giant creatures called Titans that hunt and devour people. Eren Yeager watches his hometown fall and his mother die when the Titans breach Wall Maria. He joins the military with his childhood friends Mikasa and Armin and discovers he can transform into a Titan. The story follows their battles against Titans, gradually revealing that the Titans were once human, and uncovering dark truths about the walls, the Marleyan nation, and the history of the Eldian people.

Full Plot Summary

spoilers

Attack on Titan begins in the year 845 when the Colossal Titan and Armored Titan breach Wall Maria, killing Eren's mother. Eren enlists in the military with Mikasa and Armin, and during the Battle of Trost, Eren discovers he can transform into a Titan. He is taken in by the Survey Corps under Commander Erwin. The Female Titan arc reveals Annie Leonhart as a traitor. The Clash of the Titans arc exposes Reiner and Bertholt as the Armored and Colossal Titans. The Return to Shiganshina arc sees Eren and others retake Wall Maria, discovering Grisha Yeager's basement, which contains the truth about Zeke and the Royal Family. The Marley arc shifts perspective to the warrior nation Marley, where Eldian warrior candidates Gabi and Falco are being trained. The War for Paradis arc shows the survey corps launching an attack on Marley, culminating in the Rumbling — Eren's plan to flatten the world with the power of the Founding Titan. The series ends with Eren's death by Mikasa's hand, and Paradis's future left uncertain.
