text: Wonder Woman (TV series)

text: Production history[edit]

text: Wonder Woman refers to both a 1974 television film and a 1975-1979 television series based on the DC Comics character of the same name. The 1974 television film called Wonder Woman directed by Vincent McEveety and starring Cathy Lee Crosby, was a pilot for an intended television series being considered by ABC. Ratings were described as "respectable but not exactly wondrous," and ABC did not pick up the pilot.[3] Instead, Warner Bros. and ABC developed the 1975 television series, Wonder Woman, that fit the more traditional presentation of the character as created by William Moulton Marston, turning away from the 1968–72 era that had influenced the pilot. Wonder Woman, which premiered in 1975, starred Lynda Carter and eventually led to the full series. Crosby would later claim that she was offered the chance to reprise the role in that series.[4]

text: Plot[edit]

text: Pilot[edit]

text: Despite the muted ratings of the earlier Cathy Lee Crosby television pilot, ABC still felt a Wonder Woman series had potential, and within a year another pilot was in production. Keen to make a distinction from the last pilot, producers gave the pilot the rather paradoxical title The New Original Wonder Woman. Scripting duties were given to Stanley Ralph Ross, who was instructed to be more faithful to the comic book and to create a subtle "high comedy." Ross set the pilot in World War II, the era in which the original comic book began.

text: After an intensive talent search, Lynda Carter, who had had a handful of minor acting roles and had been the 1972 Miss World USA and a Bob Hope USO cast member, was chosen for the lead role. For the role of Steve Trevor, the producers chose Lyle Waggoner, despite his dark brown, almost-black, hair not matching the comic's blond Trevor, who at the time was better known as a comedic actor after several years co-starring in The Carol Burnett Show. He was also known to Ross as having been one of the leading candidates to play Batman a decade earlier, but instead Adam West was signed. Waggoner was also considered a pin-up hunk, having done a semi-nude pictorial in the first issue of Playgirl.[5]

text: Although the pilot followed the original comic book closely, in particular the aspect of Wonder Woman joining the military under the name Diana Prince, a number of elements were dropped. It mainly omitted Diana's origin, including her birth on Paradise Island. The comic book Diana obtains the credentials of a look-alike nurse. Although the pilot shows Diana briefly as a nurse at one point, Diana takes on the identity of a Navy Yeoman Petty Officer First Class.

text: One change, which was later to become synonymous with the show, was the transformation of Diana Prince into Wonder Woman by spinning. During the filming of the pilot, producers were trying to figure out a way to show how Diana Prince became Wonder Woman, when Carter suggested that she do a spin.[6]

text: Unlike the earlier pilot, the comic-book origins of the character were emphasized by the retention of the character's traditional uniform (the design of which was interpreted and executed by Donald Lee Feld, credited as "Donfeld") with the original setting and through the use of comic book elements. The series's title sequence was animated in the form of a series of comic book panels featuring Wonder Woman performing a variety of heroic feats. Within the show, location and exposition were handled through comic book-style text panels. Transitions between scenes and commercial breaks were marked by animated starburst sequences.

text: Synopsis[edit]

text: In early 1942, during the Second World War, American pilot Major Steve Trevor (Waggoner) bails out during an air battle over the Bermuda Triangle, location of Paradise Island.[7] The island is home to the Amazons: beautiful, ageless women with great strength, agility, and intelligence. Amazon princess Diana (Carter) rescues the handsome unconscious Trevor and helps nurse him back to health. Her mother, the Amazon queen (Cloris Leachman; succeeded by Carolyn Jones and Beatrice Straight in later episodes), decrees that Olympic-style games shall be held to select one Amazon to return Trevor back to America. But she forbids her own daughter Diana, the princess, to participate. Diana states that since she is not allowed to participate, she does not want to be present for the games and will take a retreat to the other side of the island. The games are held with participants wearing masks and numbers, shown as Roman numerals in triangles on white sleeveless short tunic-dresses. Among the contestants is a blonde Amazon. During the events, the blonde Amazon shows exceptional skills and she ties for first with another Amazon. To break the deadlock, the "bullets and bracelets" event is decided as the tiebreaker, wherein each of the women takes turns shooting at the other; the one being shot at must deflect the bullets with her bulletproof bracelets. The blond woman wins the event, superficially injuring her opponent's arm. When she is pronounced the winner, she removes her mask and wig and reveals that she is Diana. Her mother, though initially shocked, relents and allows her to go to America.

text: Diana's uniform as Wonder Woman, designed by Queen Hippolyta, features emblems of America, the land to which she will be returning Steve Trevor. A golden belt will be the source of her strength and power while away from Paradise Island. She has her bullet-deflecting bracelets and also receives a golden lasso which is unbreakable and forces people to obey and tell the truth when bound with it. As shown later in flashback, Hippolyta also teaches Diana how to transform her clothes magically into the uniform.

text: Diana, as Wonder Woman, flies to Washington, D.C. in an invisible plane. After dropping Trevor off at a hospital, the heroine stumbles upon a bank robbery, which she stops. A theatrical agent who sees her in action offers to help make her bullets and bracelets act a stage attraction. Diana is hesitant, but needing money in this new society, she agrees.

text: Meanwhile, Trevor's civilian secretary Marcia (Stella Stevens) is a double agent for the Nazi Fifth Columnists. She seeks to aid top spies in killing Trevor and opposing this new threat, Wonder Woman. Her first attempt is arranging for an accomplice to fire a machine gun at Wonder Woman during her stage act. Later, as spy activities increase, Trevor leaves the hospital but gets in a fight and is captured, prompting his "nurse" Diana to come to his rescue. Wonder Woman defeats Marcia in an extended fight sequence in the War Department. Having defeated Marcia, Wonder Woman thwarts a Nazi pilot who had plans to bomb the Brooklyn Navy Yard by using her invisible plane, and she rescues Trevor. With Marcia and the spy ring defeated, the film closes as Trevor and Brigadier General Blankenship talk about Trevor's new secretary whom Blankenship selected not only for her outstanding clerical test scores, but her decidedly plain appearance in contrast to Marcia: the bespectacled Yeoman First Class Diana Prince USNR(WR), Wonder Woman in disguise.

text: Season 1[edit]

text: The pilot film aired on November 7, 1975, was a ratings success, and ABC quickly authorized the production of two one-hour specials which aired in April 1976. These three productions would later be considered part of the show's first season. The episodes scored strong ratings, and ABC ordered an additional 11 episodes for the new 1976–77 TV season. The network began airing the episodes every few weeks apart at the beginning of the TV season in September 1976. After mid-December 1976, episodes aired on a weekly basis until mid-February 1977.

text: A few cast changes were made between the specials and the series. Former Happy Days recurring actress Beatrice Colen joined the cast as Corporal Etta Candy WAAC, General Blankenship's secretary, thereby providing YN1 Prince with a subordinate. Three episodes featured Debra Winger as Diana's younger sister, Drusilla, a.k.a. Wonder Girl, in one of her earliest acting roles.

text: One of the most memorable aspects of the show that was developed during the first season was the transformation sequence that changed Diana Prince into her superheroine alter ego. The sequence in the original specials employed a slow fade between two synchronized shots, both filmed with an overcranked camera to create a slow motion effect. A twirling Diana Prince's hair would fall loose as the shot transitioned to a twirling Wonder Woman holding her Diana clothes, which she would stow nearby in a closet or locker. (How she changes back to Diana is never shown, although presumably she must return to the location to retrieve her clothes.) To ensure both segments transitioned smoothly the camera was locked off (secured in place) while Carter's clothing, make-up, and hair was altered between identities, a process Carter said on a DVD commentary typically took about 45 minutes. The spinning transformation was later incorporated into the comics and into animated appearances such as Justice League Unlimited. (Prior to the series in which Carter starred, the transformation was depicted in the comics by way of Diana spinning her magic lasso around her body, with the lasso changing her clothes, or by simply changing at super-human speed.)

text: The iconic explosion overlay most associated with the TV show was introduced after the third episode to mask the cut point between the Diana and Wonder Woman clips, meaning they no longer needed to be perfectly aligned. This allowed them to be shot without a locked off camera at more convenient points in the production schedule, when Carter was already in the appropriate costume. The slow motion aspect of the sequence was dropped, and Wonder Woman was no longer left holding her Diana Prince clothes. A thunderclap sound effect accompanied the explosion effect; both the explosion flash and its sound are apparently non-diegetic (only heard by the audience, not within the narrative world), as demonstrated by Diana changing unnoticed in a dormitory of sleeping women, in adjoining office spaces, etc. Generally the audience never sees Wonder Woman change back to Diana Prince, although there is one occasion when it is almost shown: Wonder Woman reveals her secret identity to her little sister Drusilla by slowly turning on the spot, but the actual moment of transformation is masked by a cut-away reaction shot of Drusilla (no thunderclap was heard).

text: During season one, Wonder Woman has the ability to impersonate anyone's voice, which came in handy over the telephone. She did not use this ability during seasons two and three.

text: The series began at a time when violence on television was under intense scrutiny. As a result, Wonder Woman was less frequently seen punching or kicking people the way she did in the early episodes. She would usually be shown pushing and throwing enemies or using creativity to get them to somehow knock themselves out (such as jumping high into the air to cause pursuers to collide). Despite the wartime setting, she almost never resorted to deadly force. The only exception occurs in the pilot episode when she sinks a German U-boat by crashing an airplane into it, presumably killing everyone aboard. Wonder Woman herself was occasionally overpowered by chloroform and poison gas, but she always came back in the second half of the show to save the day. In some episodes, her enemies learn the secret of her superhuman strength – her magic belt – and temporarily steal it, leaving her with average human strength. Her indestructible lasso and bracelets were stolen or taken away in one episode (leaving her defenseless against gunfire), but Wonder Woman recovered them by the end of the episode. (In the comics, Wonder Woman's bracelets were welded onto her forearms, and she would lose most of her strength if men were to join them forcibly with metal.)

text: Season 2 establishes that Wonder Woman remained active from 1942 to 1945 and was honored by Franklin D. Roosevelt for her work against Axis attacks.[8]

text: Season 2[edit]

text: Despite good ratings for the series, ABC stalled on picking up the show for a second season. This was because Wonder Woman was a period piece, being set in the 1940s, which made the set, clothing, automobiles, etc. more expensive to produce. While ABC had not yet committed, the show's production company Warner Bros. listened to an offer from rival network CBS. While ABC continued to make up its mind, CBS agreed to pick up the series on condition that the setting be changed from World War II (the 1940s) to the modern day (the 1970s). Changing the title to The New Adventures of Wonder Woman, the series was moved away from international intrigue to a more conventional police/detective action-type show that was more common in the 1970s.

text: Princess Diana, aging slowly because of her Amazon nature, returns from Paradise Island after a 35-year absence (looking virtually the same) to become an agent with the Inter-Agency Defense Command (IADC), a CIA / FBI-type organization fighting crime, espionage, and the occasional alien invasion.

text: Strictly speaking, Lynda Carter was the only cast member whose character continued into the second and third seasons (aside from a brief cameo appearance of Major Trevor (Lyle Waggoner) in Diana's flashback when she first encountered his son and a framed photograph of him seen on the younger Trevor's office credenza in season 3). The original Steve Trevor was revealed to have risen to the rank of major general and died in the 35-year interim between the first and second seasons, although Lyle Waggoner remained with the series, portraying Trevor's son, Steve Jr.

text: As a child, Steve Jr. had heard his late father's stories of adventures with Wonder Woman during World War II.[8] It is essentially confirmed in the second season première that his father never introduced him to Wonder Woman and that he had never even seen her photographed. It is similarly implied that he and YN1 Diana Prince were unaware of each other. Diana is taken aback by the younger Steve's existence, implying that his father had never spoken of the boy to either Wonder Woman or YN1 Prince. This was particularly striking when she spoke to Steve Jr. about knowing his father well, from the j-shaped burn scar on his right shoulder, to the 20mm shell casing that he used as a paperweight.

text: Despite (or perhaps because of) the fact that Wonder Woman had fallen in love with the first Steve Trevor, the producers chose to drop any suggestion that Steve Jr. and Wonder Woman were anything more than good friends. Indeed, when an impostor posing as Steve Jr. attempted to seduce Diana, she made it quite clear that she had no sexual interest in him. Executive producer Douglas S. Cramer noted the difficulties in maintaining long-term romantic tension between leads, because the resolution of that romantic tension often results in the cancellation of the series.[9]

text: Since Waggoner returned in a technically new role, Diana's mother Hippolyta was the only other first season character to be seen or mentioned, though she was played by a new actress, Beatrice Straight, succeeding Carolyn Jones and Cloris Leachman in the role. The post-war fates of General Phil Blankenship, Etta Candy, and Drusilla / Wonder Girl were never revealed.

text: Diana, Steve and Joe Atkinson (Norman Burton), a weathered IADC agent, received their orders from a "Charlie's Angels-like" character who is heard but never seen. Diana and Steve would go out and work the field while Joe assisted from the office. The Atkinson character was dropped after the ninth episode of this season, and Steve was given a promotion, becoming IADC Director, and Diana's boss, in the process. This promotion for Steve Trevor meant that Lyle Waggoner was seen less in subsequent episodes for the remainder of the series' run. In this season, the computer IRAC (Information Retrieval Associative Computer), more informally known as "Ira," was introduced: its first appearance is in season 2, episode 1, where Diana introduces her Diana Prince identity into its records, over IRAC's protests. Ira was the IADC's super-intelligent computer, who deduces that Diana Prince is really Wonder Woman, although he never shares this information with anyone, except Diana herself. Saundra Sharp joined the cast as Eve, Steve's assistant (the job held by Diana at the start of the season). Towards the end of the season, in the episode "IRAC is Missing," a small mobile robot called Rover was added for comic relief. An offshoot of IRAC who performs duties such as delivering coffee and sorting mail, Rover speaks with a high-pitched voice, occasionally makes "Beep Beep" sounds and, like IRAC, is aware that Wonder Woman's secret identity is Diana Prince.

text: The theme song was re-written to remove references to the Axis, reflecting the series' new present-day setting, and the action depicted in the opening's animated comic book panels was similarly updated. Beginning with the episode "The Man Who Made Volcanoes," the opening title sequence was changed again to an instrumental and more traditional "action scenes" opening. The animated stars used before and after commercial breaks were dropped.

text: The producers of Wonder Woman generally maintained her no-kill policy, although there were exceptions: In the episode "Anschluss '77" she is forced to destroy a clone of Adolf Hitler. Another episode made reference to a villain who was believed drowned following a previous unseen encounter with Diana/Wonder Woman.

text: Unlike in the first season, Wonder Woman's sources of power (magic belt, bracelets, golden lasso) were never removed from her and stolen by villains during the two years the series was set in the 1970s.

text: Other changes in season two included a slight redesign (again by Donald Lee Feld, still credited as "Donfeld") of Wonder Woman's uniform. The bustier was more flexible, featured less gold metal in the eagle wings in favor of red cloth background, and was cut lower to highlight Carter's décolletage and cleavage. The star-spangled bottoms were cut higher in the thighs, with the number of stars reduced, stopping below her hips, and rearranged in a more symmetrical starburst pattern. The bracelets changed from dull silver-grey to bright gold, and were noticeably smaller and thinner. Her tiara, appearing unchanged when on Wonder Woman's head, would flatten to become a boomerang, and its ruby star functioned as a communications link to Paradise Island and her mother the queen.

text: Feld also introduced multiple new variants on Wonder Woman's uniform beginning in season two. She still wore the red-white-and-blue cape for special events or appearances from the first season, but without the skirt. (This variant could be described as Wonder Woman's "full-dress uniform.") A diving uniform was introduced—this consisted of a navy-blue lycra body suit with matching gloves, gold bracelets, flat boots, and a flexible tiara; this was featured whenever aquatic activity was required. The same uniform, with low-heeled boots and a gold helmet, was used to ride motorcycles. At first, Wonder Woman would switch to these newer uniforms by performing an extended spin in which she first changed from her Diana Prince clothes to Wonder Woman's standard uniform, then continued to spin until a second light explosion occurred and she would appear in one of the newer variants. However, this extended spin device was dropped for expediency and Diana was then able to change into any of Wonder Woman's uniforms in a single change.

text: Wonder Woman's invisible plane appeared a couple of times in season two, and not at all in season three. The plane's shape was updated with the change in temporal setting, losing the rounded fuselage and modestly curved wings evocative of a World War II-era pursuit-fighter, in favor of a dart-like, delta winged jet.

text: Season 3[edit]

text: With the beginning of the third season, further changes were made to target the show at a teenage audience. The title theme was re-recorded again to give it a disco beat, the use of the robot 'Rover' was increased for comic effect, and episodes began to revolve around topical subjects like skateboarding, roller coasters and the environment. (Feld also gave Wonder Woman a "skate-boarder's" uniform, which was also capable of use for training in any "extreme sport" in which she participated.) Teenagers or young adults were commonly used as main characters in the plot lines. Eve disappeared from the cast although she is mentioned once or twice. Episodes during this season showed Diana on assignments by herself far more often (particularly outside of Washington DC), and Steve Trevor had become Diana's boss and was seen less.

text: Wonder Woman was also allowed to become a bit more physical in the third season and could now be seen throwing the occasional punch or kicking. The writers also came up with several unusual ways for Diana to execute her spinning transformation, the most notable instances occurring in the episode "Stolen Faces" in which Diana makes the change while falling off a tall building, and the season two episode "The Pied Piper" in which she changes while strapped into a spinning chair.

text: Diana also exhibited other powers, particularly in the episode "The Deadly Dolphin," in which she is shown communicating telepathically with animals (reminiscent of the "mental radio" from the comics, which was never shown on the series) and generating bursts of an unknown form of energy to scare away a killer shark.

text: In the final episode produced, the writers attempted a "relaunch" of sorts by having Diana reassigned to the Los Angeles bureau of IADC with a new supporting cast. Though done in anticipation of a fourth season, the revamp was seen for only a single episode ("The Man Who Could Not Die"), which set up an assortment of new supporting characters. These included Dale Hawthorn, Diana's new IADC boss, Bret Cassiday (Bob Seagren), a genetically enhanced man who was indestructible (the titular character of the episode), as well as a streetwise youngster named T. Burton Phipps III who inexplicably is allowed to hang out at the IADC. Also added to the cast was a chimpanzee who, like Bret, is also indestructible. This episode was actually the last to be produced and should have ended the third season, but was shown out of sequence with the two-parter "The Phantom of the Roller Coaster." These final three episodes aired by themselves in August–September 1979, months after the broadcast of the rest of season three, creating a mini-season, though they remain grouped as part of season three as opposed to being considered an abbreviated fourth season.

text: CBS ultimately decided to move The Incredible Hulk up to the Friday 8:00 hour from 9:00 to introduce the new series The Dukes of Hazzard, but no further episodes of Wonder Woman were produced due to the lack of new cast members for a fourth season and low ratings. After her first musical television special, Carter gave up the role to focus more on her musical career.[citation needed]

text: Wonder Woman '77 Comic[edit]

text: In October 2014, DC announced an ongoing comic book series set in the Lynda Carter TV series continuity. The comic was written by Marc Andreyko.[10] It was first published as digital chapters on DC Comics' website. Wonder Woman '77 Special #1 was published in May 2015. A second Wonder Woman '77 Special collecting further digital first chapters was published in September 2015.[needs update]. A third special was published in April 2016. Wonder Woman teams up with Jaime Sommers in the crossover title Wonder Woman ’77 Meets the Bionic Woman.[11][12] Wonder Woman teams up with Batman in the crossover team up Batman' 66 Meets Wonder Woman '77 writing by both Andreyko and Jeff Parker.[13]

text: Legacy[edit]

text: This portrayal of the character strongly influenced the Wonder Woman comics. Most notably, the ballerina-style spinning transformation was incorporated into the comics. The spin has also been used in the animated television programs Super Friends and Justice League Unlimited.[14]

For over a century, humans have been living in settlements surrounded by three gigantic walls, which prevent the Titans, giant humanoid creatures who eat humans, from entering. Young Eren Yeager, of the town of Shiganshina, wishes to see the outside world by joining the Survey Corps, as he likens living in the cities to livestock. Despite this, his adopted sister Mikasa Ackerman and their mother Carla Yeager are against him joining the Scouts. Even after seeing the Scouts return home with large casualties, Eren expresses his interest to join which impresses his father Grisha Yeager. After Eren and Mikasa rescue their friend Armin Arlert from a group of delinquents due to his views that the walls will not protect them forever, a Titan much taller than the walls (later named the Colossal Titan) suddenly appears and knocks down the gate to Shiganshina, which lies in the outer edge of Wall Maria), allowing smaller Titans to enter. As the town erupts into mass panic, Eren and Mikasa rush to their home to find their mother pinned under their collapsed house. Carla begs them to flee, but they refuse until the city guard Hannes arrives and takes them away. Eren watches in horror as the Smiling Titan eats Carla.

Hannes apologizes to Eren for not saving his mother, admitting he was afraid of the Titan and that both Eren and Mikasa are still weak children. Some of the Shiganshina townsfolk escape to the inner Wall Maria while the soldiers try to hold off the Titans. The soldiers try to close the gate, but one of the Titans (later named the Armored Titan) rams the gate, breaching inner Wall Maria, and causing those inside to retreat even further inside Wall Rose. Some time later, Eren has a strange dream in which his grieving father forcefully gives him an injection and his key before being woken up by Mikasa. Eren grows disgusted with the people of Wall Rose as the latter do not like sharing their food or homes with the refugees. During the next year, as a food shortage becomes apparent, the government orders the refugees to either work on the farms or fight to reclaim Wall Maria. About 250,000 people, 20% of the populace choose to fight but they are wiped out by the Titans. Eren vows revenge and joins the army along with Mikasa and Armin.

The drill instructor Keith Shardis inspects the new recruits and provides a barrage of verbal insults. When he comes across Sasha Braus, who is eating a potato, he punishes her by having her run around the camp until sunset and not giving her any food or drink. Eren develops a rivalry with Jean Kirschtein, who desires a safe and easy position in the Military Police within the inner city walls. The recruits train on an Omni-directional Mobility Gear[1] apparatus, where they have to balance themselves while suspended on cables. After Eren has trouble balancing, he asks Reiner Braun and Bertolt Hoover for help and discover they too are among the few who have personally encountered Titans.

Five years since Wall Maria fell, Keith evaluates the recruits for their strengths and weaknesses. After training in hand-to-hand combat with Reiner and Annie Leonhart, Eren learns later that night that Jean and several other recruits hope to join the Military Police to avoid having to fight Titans. On graduation day, Eren and Mikasa rank among the top ten of their class. They are eligible to join the Military Police, but Eren declines and announces that he is joining the Survey Corps on the front lines, leading Armin and Mikasa to join him. They are assigned to the Trost District, one of the cities which is at the outer edge of Wall Rose, where they discover other classmates have joined. The Colossal Titan appears and breaches the gate. Once Eren regains his composure, he takes command and orders a counterattack.

As Eren attacks the Colossal Titan, it destroys the wall's cannons, revealing itself to be intelligent. As Eren prepares to attack its weak point, it inexplicably vanishes in a burst of steam. The Military Police scrambles to evacuate the people of the Trost District and set up defenses before the Titans enter the city. Eren calms Armin and Jean, who both start having nervous breakdowns due to the approaching Titans. Assigned by Commander Kitts Woerman of the Garrison to different squads, Mikasa helps with the evacuation while Eren and Armin provide backup at the front lines. Despite Mikasa's protest of wanting to stay and protect Eren, he convinces her to do her duty after promising her he will not die. With the Titans now in the city, Eren recalls his lessons that in order to kill a Titan, they must strike the nape of its neck. As Eren and Armin's squad attack, one by one their comrades are killed or eaten by the Titans, with Eren himself losing his left leg. Armin, paralyzed with fear upon seeing his comrades' fates, is picked up by a bearded Titan and almost swallowed. As Eren recalls his past, where he and Armin wished to see the world outside the walls, he manages to drag and toss Armin out of the Bearded Titan's mouth at the last moment. Eren reaches for Armin with his left arm out of the Bearded Titan's mouth, but the bearded Titan closes its jaws, severing Eren's arm and swallowing him.

Armin awakens to find himself surrounded by Connie Springer, Krista Lenz and Ymir. When Armin breaks down in tears after Connie asks what happened to his squad, Ymir correctly deduces that they are all dead. As Armin heads back to the rear guard, he blames himself for being weak and not saving Eren. Meanwhile, a greedy merchant tries to force his cargo into the city's exit gate and refuses to allow the refugees to go first. As the crowd grows impatient, an Abnormal Titan suddenly approaches but is killed by Mikasa right before it can reach the crowd. When she realizes the merchant is the cause of the holdup at the gate, she threatens him into moving his cargo for the refugees. As she is thanked by a mother and daughter, Mikasa has a flashback. In the year 844, a year before the fall of Wall Maria, Mikasa is targeted by slave traders, who murder her parents in a struggle. After Grisha and Eren discover the dead bodies while making a visit, Grisha orders Eren to return home. Instead, Eren tracks down the slave traders to a nearby hut and kills two of them in an attempt to save Mikasa. However, the third slave trader appears and begins strangling Eren, who tells Mikasa to kill the man if she wants to live, which she does after overcoming her fear and gaining resolve. Eventually, the children are found by the Military Police. As Mikasa cries that she has no home to go back to, she is invited to live with Grisha and Eren, who gives her a red scarf to wear. Back in the present, Mikasa slays more Titans and goes to help the other squads evacuate.

The surviving squads, unable to reach the inner walls due to their Omni-directional Mobility Gears being low on gas, lose their fighting spirit as the nearby supply depot is overrun by Titans. Mikasa learns from Armin that his entire squad perished, including Eren. Seemingly unfazed, Mikasa rallies the others to reclaim the supply depot, and they are inspired to join her in the attack. Mikasa ends up running out of gas mid-air and falls into an alleyway, leading Jean to assume command. However, he loses his nerve when he sees some of his comrades being eaten by Titans. As a blonde Titan approaches Mikasa, she at first accepts her fate but instinctively starts fighting back after remembering Eren's words of perseverance. As she prepares to attack with her only remaining broken blade, another Titan appears behind her and brutally kills the blonde Titan, much to her confusion. Armin and Connie show up, and they are all shocked to see the Rogue Titan not only fighting other Titans, but also showing knowledge of their weak point and using hand-to-hand combat techniques, while completely ignoring the humans. Armin gives Mikasa his gas tanks and blades so that she can support the others at the supply depot. Mikasa, however, refuses to leave him behind and ponders on the Rogue Titan's strange behavior.

With the supply depot area swarming with Titans, Armin has the idea of using the Rogue Titan to defeat them. Mikasa and Connie agree with his plan and defeat the Titans attacking it, before rushing to the depot. Meanwhile, Jean and the others reach the supply depot despite suffering more casualties on the way, with Armin, Mikasa and Connie arriving soon after. Armin's plan works, but while the Rogue Titan is able to attract the enemies outside, seven smaller Titans remain in the fuel storage area. With their equipment out of fuel, Armin devises another plan. The survivors draw the Titans' attention to an elevator and shoot them in the eyes to blind them, while seven of them jump from the ceiling to finish them off. Sasha and Connie fail to kill their targets but are saved by Mikasa and Annie. Having successfully replenished their fuel, the soldiers prepare to retreat, but they see the Rogue Titan defeating all of the other Titans before collapsing, and much to their shock, watch Eren emerge from its body. Mikasa reaches Eren and cries upon confirming that he is alive, while Armin notices that his severed leg and arm have somehow regenerated as well.

Captain Levi of the Survey Corps and his squad successfully retake a town from the Titans until they are called to an emergency at the Trost District as the Titans have invaded the city. It is revealed that when Eren was eaten and swallowed by the bearded Titan, he found himself in its stomach along with the bodies of its victims, one of whom was still alive. His rage at the Titans caused him to burst out of the bearded Titan's stomach by transforming into a Titan himself and going on a rampage against them. To Eren's confusion when regaining consciousness, Kitts's men aim their weapons at him. Although Eren's comrades saw him emerge from the Rogue Titan, they all agreed to keep it a secret and bring him back inside Wall Rose. However, Kitts also witnessed this and has his men corner Eren, but Armin and Mikasa defend him. Kitts accuses Eren of actually being a Titan in disguise, but Eren has no memories of becoming a Titan or how his limbs grew back. Even though Eren claims he is human, Kitts fearfully orders the cannons to fire on the three of them. As they try to escape, Eren recalls hazy memories of his father giving him an injection, telling him to reclaim Wall Maria and go to their home's basement with his key. In order to protect Mikasa and Armin from the cannons, Eren partially transforms himself into the Rogue Titan, sheltering them inside his ribs.

After partially transforming himself to protect Mikasa and Armin, Eren climbs out of the Titan to talk with the two regarding the basement in his former house and how he believes that it holds the secret to mankind's preservation and the key to destroying the Titans. Kitts is still afraid and once again orders the cannon to be loaded. Eren comes up with two plans of escape. The first is for him to transform into a Titan and run away on his own, forever criminalizing himself in the eyes of humanity. The second is to have Armin convince Kitts that Eren is an asset, not a danger. Armin has several flashbacks and comes to the realization that even though he is physically weak and cowardly, he can still defend his friends, and decides to try and talk their way out of being executed. Armin tentatively convinces Kitts, only to have him be overcome by fear and give the order to fire once more. The order is halted when Commander Dot Pyxis and his men intervene, sparing their lives. In return, Pyxis asks Eren if he will transform himself to block the gap in Wall Rose to prevent more Titans from getting in. Eren agrees, regardless of whether or not he will be able to control his Titan form.

As Armin helps Pyxis's subordinates coordinate a plan, morale among the troops begin to drop, as some want to desert and be with their families. Pyxis silences everyone by reminding them that if they abandon this chance to finally win against the Titans, they will be subjecting their families to their terror, which convinces the troops to stay. Claiming that Eren is the result of a secret project to turn humans into Titans, Pyxis plans to have most of the troops gather at a far corner of the Trost District to lure most of the Titans away while Eren in Titan form carries the giant boulder to seal the hole. Along with Mikasa, Eren will be guarded during the mission by three of the best elites of the Garrison: Ian Dietrich, Rico Brzenska and Mitabi Jarnach. As they approach the giant boulder, Rico, who is doubtful of the mission's success and does not completely trust Eren, reminds him that many lives are at stake. Finally reaching the boulder, Eren transforms himself into a Titan, only to suddenly attack Mikasa.

Mikasa tries to reason with Eren in Titan form, but to no avail. Eren continues his attack and accidentally incapacitates himself, slumping to the ground. The squad protecting Eren sends up a red flare to signal that the plan has failed, much to the dismay of the troops observing from the wall. As Armin heads toward Eren to investigate, the elite squadron argues and eventually agrees to protect Eren instead of abandoning him, still recognizing him as a valuable military asset. During the operation, Jean is separated from Connie and Annie after his Omni-directional Mobility Gear malfunctions, forcing him to hide from two Titans in a building. Armin reaches the unconscious Eren, but Mikasa calls to him, warning that he is in a dangerous state. Armin plunges his sword into the side of Eren's neck, which briefly awakens him. As Armin speaks to him of the outside world and reminds him of his promise to kill all the Titans, Eren leaves his dreamlike state and regains control.

Jean manages to acquire another set of Omni-directional Mobility Gear from a dead soldier and escapes, thanks to Annie, Connie and Marco Bott distracting the Titans. With Eren in Titan form now fully awake and carrying the boulder towards the gate as planned, Ian orders everyone to protect Eren from the Titans at all costs, with many of them sacrificing their lives in the process. Eren finally blocks the open gate with the boulder, and a tearful Rico, the only remaining member of the elite squad, fires a yellow flare to signal that the operation was a success. As Armin tries to pull Eren from his Titan body, they are cornered by two Titans but are then saved by the timely arrival of Levi. With the gate finally sealed, the army eliminates all of the Titans remaining in the Trost District except two, which are captured for research. As the army counts their casualties, a shocked Jean finds Marco's dead and half-eaten body, Sasha's group is horrified to find a pile of corpses regurgitated from a Titan, and Annie mourns one of her dead comrades. Meanwhile, Eren is chained in a cell guarded by the Military Police, where he is visited by Levi and Commander Erwin Smith of the Survey Corps. After listening to his story and reasons for wanting the Titans dead, Levi allows Eren to join his squad under his command, though Eren is warned that Levi would personally kill him if he ever betrays the squad or loses control again.

When word spreads about a Titan siding with humankind, the populace is divided over whether Eren is their savior or their end. Eren is brought to a military tribunal to be judged by Commander-in-Chief Darius Zackly, who will decide whether Eren should be given to the Military Police or the Survey Corps, both of whom have their own reasons for wanting him. The Military Police wants Eren killed as he is seen by them as a menace, while the Survey Corps wants to use him to retake Wall Maria. As both sides get into heated arguments over Eren's Titan powers, one of the merchants siding with the Military Police accuses Mikasa of being a Titan as well, much to Eren's anger. When Eren calls out the Military Police and their supporters for their cowardice, one of them prepares to shoot him, only for Levi to beat Eren down. Despite being brutally beaten, he does not transform into a Titan, which Levi uses to show to the court that the Survey Corps can control Eren, and proposes that he is to be made part of his squad. In the end, Zackly gives Eren to the Survey Corps where Erwin and Hange Zoë welcome him. As Eren is getting treatment for his wounds, they discover that he grew back a tooth knocked out during Levi's beating.

Levi and his Special Operations Squad, composed of Petra Ral, Oluo Bozado, Eld Jinn and Gunther Schultz, who are all elites chosen by him, bring Eren to the old Survey Corps headquarters where Eren will learn to control his Titan's power under their watch. As Levi orders the castle to be cleaned, Petra assures Eren that despite his rude and harsh demeanor, Levi does care about the people under his command. Meanwhile, Erwin and Mike Zacharias discuss the new recruits joining the Survey Corps and how they must prove Eren's usefulness to Military Command within a month. While discussing his powers with Levi's squad, Hange arrives and asks Eren to help her in her experiments with the two Titans they have captured, which she named Sawney and Beane. Hange is revealed to have an obsession with Titans where she treats them like people despite the many times she puts herself in danger. During her all night talks with Eren, she reveals that the Titans need sunlight to survive and their bodies are disproportionately light despite their size. But the next day, the Survey Corps discover Sawney and Beane have been killed. As Hange mourns for them, the Survey Corps deduce that the culprit is a soldier who escaped using their Omni-directional Mobility Gear, which makes Eren wonder who their true enemy is.

As the recruits are investigated over Sawney and Beane's deaths, Annie, who will be joining the Military Police later, gives advice to Armin and Connie that it is their choice to decide on which branch of the military they join. The recruits from the 104th are later greeted by Commander Erwin at the 'Decision Ceremony', where he tells them that the goal of the Survey Corps's expedition the following month is to reclaim Shiganshina and find the secret hidden in Eren's home basement. After telling the recruits of the Survey Corps's high mortality rate during each expedition, Erwin tells the recruits that they may stay and join them or leave to join the other branches. Most recruits leave, but Jean joins the Survey Corps in honor of Marco with others joining him as well including Mikasa, Armin, Reiner, Bertolt, Connie, Sasha, Krista and Ymir, despite their fears. As the Survey Corps prepare themselves for the expedition, Eren is reunited with his friends and learns what happened to the others. Jean questions whether Eren can truly control his Titan powers as they are risking their lives for him. With everything ready, the Survey Corps begin their 57th Expedition beyond the walls.

As the expedition gets underway, the Survey Corps assemble into their 'Long-Range Scouting Formation' wherein the Scouts spread out around the main wagon train and report by flare gun if a Titan is nearby so the group can steer to avoid them and avoid conflict if possible. After Armin's squad manages to kill an Abnormal Titan, a Titan with a feminine body suddenly appears from the right flank at high speed. Much to Armin's shock, the Female Titan's body can withstand their blades and is intelligent enough to kill his seniors easily. The Female Titan captures Armin but after removing his hood and seeing his face, she leaves him alive and continues running. Armin is picked up by Reiner and Jean, who reveals that their right flank was wiped out by the Titans, which makes Armin realize it was the Female Titan's work and she is possibly another Titan Shifter like Eren. When the three of them give conflicting sources on where Eren is in the formation, they realize the Female Titan's target is Eren and they must stop her. Despite their failed attempts to attack, she leaves them and heads towards the centre.

Armin, Reiner and Jean are left stranded after their encounter with the Female Titan leaves them with only one horse, but they are soon saved by Krista, who arrives with extra horses. They wait for the order to withdraw, but to their surprise, they discover their operation is continuing albeit heading in a different direction. Meanwhile, news reaches the center group about their right flank being annihilated by the Female Titan as the latter continues to wreak havoc within the formation. Soon, the whole formation reaches the Forest of Giant Trees with only the center row entering it while the rest defend the forest from Titans. Eren realizes something is wrong when his squad has no idea what Erwin's orders are and what Levi is doing. As the Female Titan chases them at their heels, the squad desperately await Levi's command to attack, but Levi instead tells his squad to cover their ears as he fires his flare gun.

Levi fires a noise round and tells the squad to keep moving forward. With more of the rearguard getting killed by the Female Titan, Eren begs his squad to let him fight, but they tell him to trust Levi's decision. As he considers turning himself into his Titan form, Levi tells him to choose to either rely on his own strength or believe in his squad mates. Eren starts remembering when Hange, Levi and his squad had him try to transform into a Titan for experimental purposes but was unable to. During a break when he tried to pick up a teaspoon, Eren suddenly partially transformed, much to the squad's shock. They almost attacked him but Levi ordered them to stand down. Hange deduced that Eren is able to transform into a Titan not by solely injuring himself but also due to his desire to fulfill his goals. The squad apologized to Eren and told him they should trust each other. Remembering this, Eren decides to trust his squad's plan. It is then revealed that Levi's squad is bait to lure the Female Titan into an ambush where Erwin and his men fire hundreds of grappling hooks at the Female Titan, trapping her. Levi leaves his squad to meet up with Erwin to find out the identity of the Female Titan.

With the Female Titan restrained, Erwin and Levi try to figure out its identity with no success as it is able to crystallize its skin to prevent them from cutting out the human inside. Armin, Jean and the rest of Levi's squad realize it was Erwin's plan to use Eren as bait to draw out the mole within the army who joined them after the Walls fell and only told his real plan to those who were part of the Survey Corps before the fall. Meanwhile, the others wonder about what is happening inside the forest, and Levi taunts the Female Titan, prompting her to give a loud scream that draws all Titans in the vicinity to her. Despite the Survey Corps's attempt to stop them, the Titans ignore the humans and eat the Female Titan's body in a frenzy, which makes Erwin call off the expedition. However, knowing that there is no confirmation that the mole has also been eaten by the Titans, Erwin orders Levi to regroup with his squad, while the mole, disguised as a cloaked Survey Corps member, attacks Levi's squad and kills Günther.

Erwin tells Hange that it was a mistake to think all humans who can transform into Titans are like Eren since the Female Titan has unique abilities far beyond that of a novice, while elsewhere the mole transforms into the Female Titan and chases after Levi's squad. Armin theorizes the mole is someone who had seen Eren transform during the invasion of the Trost District. Eren wants to transform into his Titan form, but the squad tells him to trust in their skills and keep moving forward. Petra, Oluo and Eld manage to blind the Female Titan and attempt to cut off her arms and kill her. However, the Female Titan manages to quickly regenerate her right eye and kills the three. Seeing his comrades dead, a grieving Eren transforms into his Titan form, which gets Mikasa and Levi's attention. Believing his comrades and squad's death could have been avoided if he had transformed in the first place, Eren fights the Female Titan in a long battle. The Female Titan finally defeats Eren by taking off his head and swallowing his human body. Mikasa attempts to stop the Female Titan, but to no avail. She is later joined by Levi, who tells her to keep their distance, as the Female Titan is getting tired.

Levi, who orders Mikasa to distract the Female Titan in order to get Eren back, successfully debilitates the Female Titan at high speeds, but he injures his leg in the process when saving Mikasa from the Female Titan after leaving herself vulnerable when attempting to finish off. Mikasa then goes with Levi, who retrieves Eren from inside the mouth of the Female Titan, leaving it badly wounded and slumped against a tree. The Survey Corps mournfully retrieve the corpses of their fallen comrades, with Erwin ordering that the lost corpses be reported missing in action. However, a Scout named Dieter retrieves the corpse of his friend Ivan against this direct order, which draws the attention of two Titans to the retreating Survey Corps. Mikasa kills one of the Titans to save Dieter, who loses both Ivan's corpse and his friend Jurgen. In order to outrun the remaining Titan, Levi reluctantly orders some of the corpses, including Petra's, be disposed of in order to lighten the wagon's load. Later, Eren wakes up from a dream of his past to find himself and the Survey Corps back at town, safely behind Wall Sina. He becomes angry upon hearing the townspeople berate the Survey Corps's ineptitude, until he sees a boy who admires their bravery, which sends him into tears. All the while, a shocked Levi is questioned by Petra's father over his daughter's whereabouts, who reveals that Petra planned on devoting her life to Levi. The townspeople also become enraged and upset at Erwin over the failure of the mission and the casualties that were sustained. As a result of the failed expedition, Erwin and his subordinates are summoned to the capital, where the final decision of Eren's custody will be made.

Annie has a dream of being trained by her father before waking up. In the Stohess District of Wall Sina, the Military Police are ordered to escort the Survey Corps convoy once they enter the capital. The Military Police are shown to be lazy and corrupt; one of Annie's colleagues, Hitch Dreyse, reveals that she joined the police for that reason. Another colleague named Marlowe Freudenberg is disgusted, revealing he joined the Military Police so he could reform it to become a better organization, which Annie respects since he reminds her of Eren. After the convoy has entered the Stohess District, Annie is secretly called by Armin in the alleyways. Armin asks for her help, as he is helping Eren escape the capital, and the one riding in the convoy is actually Jean in disguise. Although refusing at first, she finally agrees after Armin begs again, believing she is a good person. Armin leads Eren, Mikasa and Annie to an underground tunnel. However, Annie refuses to enter as she has noticed Armin behaving strangely and hidden Scouts watching her. Armin finally reveals his suspicion that Annie is the Female Titan, noting that she used Marco's Omni-directional Mobility Gear to kill Sawney and Beane and that the Female Titan did not kill him during the last expedition. Eren and Armin beg Annie to prove them wrong by following them, but knowing her identity is exposed, Annie laughs sadly and tries to transform. Despite the Scouts' attempts to bind and gag her, she succeeds in transforming using the spike in her ring.

Back in the present, Eren, Mikasa and Armin manage to escape a tunnel collapse while being hunted by Annie in Titan form. Eren tries to transform but is unable to, and Mikasa suspects that his feelings for Annie are preventing him to do so. When Eren is trapped in another tunnel collapse, Mikasa and Armin distract Annie away from Eren. Meanwhile, Commander Nile Dok of the Military Police demands an explanation from Erwin on what is happening as his men hold him at gunpoint. Mikasa and the rest of the Survey Corps distract and try to capture Annie, while Armin and Jean attempt to free Eren from the rubble. Armin tells Eren that he has to fight Annie as anyone who refuses to sacrifice can never change anything. As Eren thinks about what Armin said, he remembers his hatred for the Smiling Titan who killed his mother. Eren finally transforms into the Rogue Titan and charges at Annie in a rage, smashing into a cathedral.

Inside the cathedral, a group of worshipers are crushed to their deaths, leaving the surviving priest awestruck. Eren and Annie fight each other in their Titan forms throughout the Stohess District, causing destruction and civilian deaths while Hange orders her men to stand by before they capture Annie. Meanwhile, Erwin tells Nile that he will accept responsibility for the damage his plan has caused, for which Nile has Erwin arrested and orders the Military Police to help evacuate the civilians. After exchanging several blows, a berserk Eren completely overpowers Annie, who attempts to escape by climbing up Wall Sina. However, Mikasa cuts off Annie's fingers, sending her falling. As Annie falls, she remembers her father asking for forgiveness, telling her to hate the world and asking her to promise him she will come back home. When it appears Eren is about to eat Annie, he stops once he sees her crying, and her body starts encasing itself in crystal. As Eren recuperates, he admits to Mikasa, Armin and Jean that he allowed Annie to get herself encased. As Armin and Jean wonder if sacrificing their humanity to defeat the Titans is worth the price, Erwin attends a government inquiry, where he reveals that he kept his plans secret to prevent leaks. He further explains that despite the deaths and casualties of his plan and how they cannot get any information from Annie now that she is encased, she is proof there are humans that can turn into Titans living within the walls and he plans to find and use them to launch a counterattack against the Titans. In the end, Erwin's name is cleared, Eren stays with the Survey Corps, Annie is put under the Survey Corps's custody and the rest of the 104th Top Trainees go on their different missions. In the epilogue, a piece of Wall Sina crumbles, revealing the face of a Titan within the wall.

As the encased Annie is taken into custody, Hange and her team discover the Titan sealed inside the walls. Pastor Nick of the Wall Cult appears, urging them to cover it from sunlight. After the Titan is covered with sheets, Nick refuses to tell Hange why it is there, even after she threatens to kill him. She suspects that more titans are hidden within the walls. Meanwhile, Erwin is informed that Wall Rose was breached and Titans are roaming inside. 12 hours earlier, the rest of the 104th Trainees are stationed at an outpost when Titans are seen advancing from the south. Mike Zacharias orders the soldiers and trainees to spread out and inform the nearby villages and the capital about the Titans while he stays behind to delay them. In Stohess, Eren wakes up with Mikasa at his bedside and Armin tells them the Titans have breached Wall Rose. Back at the outpost, Mike buys enough time and prepares to escape, but is captured by a mysterious ape-like Titan covered in fur that is capable of speaking. The Beast Titan inquires about his three-dimensional maneuvering equipment (立体機動装置, Rittai kidō sōchi), but Mike does not answer, so the Titan strips Mike of his gear and leaves him to be eaten by the other Titans.

Hange and Armin deduce that the Titans encased within the walls provide its strength. The Survey Corps depart from Stohess to deal with the Titans that appeared inside Wall Rose, and Hange takes Pastor Nick along intending to gain more information from him. Meanwhile, Sasha rushes to warn her father and her village. She arrives to find the entire village deserted except for a woman being eaten by a Titan, and her daughter nearby in a state of shock. Sasha takes the girl and flees but they are chased by the Titan. Sasha decides to stay and fight while urging the girl to run away. Sasha succeeds in blinding the Titan with her arrows just as a group of villagers, including her father and the girl, return to pick her up. Meanwhile, Connie arrives at his village, only to find that it had already been attacked by Titans. Upon reaching his house, Connie discovers a Titan on its back trapped inside. He and the others wonder how it got so far from the walls when its short, thin legs seem too weak to support its body.

Connie grieves for the death of his family while his senior Lynn tries to assure him they might be still be alive since no bodies nor blood was found despite Gelgar's suspicions since the village horses are still at their stables. As Connie rejoins his group to find the breach in the wall, the Titan in his house speaks to him, saying "Welcome Back." Elsewhere, Ymir asks her seniors Nanaba and Henning to allow her and Krista to leave their group since they don't have their gear which the latter tells Ymir not to worry about her. Eventually, both groups meet up but are surprised to discover there were no breaches at the Walls and rest up at Castle Utgard. Meanwhile, Hange explains to Eren that she discovered the hardened crystallized skin that Annie created from her Titan form is the same material that the Walls are made of which might help them seal the breach at Shiganshina if Eren can learn to do the same thing. After witnessing the flight of the people of Wall Rose due to the Titans, Pastor Nick relents and tells Hange that a 104th Trainee can help her find the answers she seeks; this is none other than Krista. Following this, an out-of-breath Sasha arrives and hands Hange a report. Shortly thereafter Hange and her group head to Castle Utgard. In the meantime, Titans, led by the Beast Titan, attack Castle Utgard despite it being night time, forcing Gelgar, Lynn, Nanaba and Henning to defend the 104th Trainees.

Two hours before the attack by the Titans at Castle Utgard, the 104th Trainees rest as their seniors keep watch. Connie mentions the Titan he encountered at his village resembled his mother, but Ymir plays it off. Reiner becomes suspicious when Ymir is able to read the unknown language on a food can. The Titans soon appear, and Nanaba and the Senior Scouts hold them off from the outside while Connie, Reiner, Bertoldt, Ymir and Krista defend themselves against smaller Titans that have breached the castle. In the process, Reiner has his arm badly injured after it is bitten by a Titan. After clearing the area of Titans, the Beast Titan throws chunks of Wall Rose at the castle, killing the group's horses. A second wave of Titans subsequently attack the castle, and the senior soldiers are soon overwhelmed and killed. As the Titans surround the tower the unarmed Trainees are on, Ymir, in order to save Krista's life and honor the promise they made, jumps off the tower, and transforms into a Titan.

During their winter training in the mountains as cadets, Krista and Ymir become lost while saving fellow cadet Daz during a blizzard. Ymir accuses of Krista of having a death wish rather than saving Daz for selfless reasons. She also reveals she knows that Krista is an unwanted illegitimate child of a nobleman's mistress who was forced by the Wall Cult to change her name and join the army. Telling Krista that they were both given a second chance in life, Ymir makes Krista promise that should she ever reveal her true name, she should live her own life. Back in the present, Titan Ymir fights off the other Titans as Reiner and Bertholdt recognize Ymir as the Titan who ate their childhood friend in the past. Realizing Ymir is trying to help them, Krista tells Ymir to destroy the tower instead in order to crush the Titans. As the tower begins to collapse, Ymir orders Krista and the others to grab on to her. Despite this effort, the Titans overwhelm Ymir; only the timely arrival of Hange and the other Scouts saves them. With the battle over, Krista attends a gravely injured Ymir as the rest of the 104th Trainees learn Ymir is a Titan Shifter. Just before Ymir loses consciousness, Krista reveals that her real name is Historia.

After the battle, the Scouts climb the wall nearest to Castle Utgard and prepare to take the comatose Ymir to Trost for medical attention. They are surprised that there are no titans in the area, especially when a patrol led by Hannes reports that the walls were never breached. As the Scouts prepare to set off for Trost, Reiner takes Eren aside and casually reveals that he is the Armored Titan, Bertholdt is the Colossal Titan, and that their mission to destroy all of humanity can be avoided if Eren would simply come with them. The episode flashes back to 12 hours earlier in Ehrmich District where Hange explains that the scroll she received earlier from Sasha contained a background report on Annie which suggests a connection with Reiner and Bertholdt, as all three are from the same area but otherwise have little background information available. After reaching into their memories of Reiner and Bertholdt, they begin to suspect that they may have helped Annie find Eren's location within the formation during the 57th Expedition. Hange therefore orders everyone to keep an eye on Reiner and Bertholdt without raising undue suspicion. Back in the present, Reiner and Bertholdt both shift into their respective Titan forms despite a quick intervention by Mikasa. The Armored Titan grabs Eren and heads down the wall as the Colossal Titan grabs Ymir. Feeling betrayed, an angry Eren shifts into his Titan form and begins to fight the Armored Titan.

As the Armored Titan and Eren's Titan Form engage in battle, Mikasa regrets not having succeeded at killing Bertholdt and Reiner before they shifted into Titans. Hange orders the Scouts to attack the slow-moving Colossal Titan after it "eats" Ymir and another Scout, but it releases an enormous amount of steam, wounding several Scouts and preventing further attacks. Meanwhile, the Armored Titan gains the upper hand in his fight against Eren, and despite the best efforts of Mikasa to help, the situation seems desperate. Fortunately, Eren remembers the hand-to-hand techniques taught to him by Annie during their training and he begins to seriously damage the Armored Titan. Armin implores Eren to fall back to the wall for his own safety, and much to everyone's surprise, he obliges. Hannes' patrol returns, and Hannes is shocked to see the Colossal Titan, not to mention Eren's Titan Form as well as the Armored Titan. The latter charges at Eren once more, who again utilizes grapple techniques to overcome his strength disadvantage and regain the upper hand. With the encouragement of his comrades, he is nearly successful at beheading the Armored Titan and extracting Reiner from within, only to be foiled when the Armored Titan roars for assistance. To the Scout's horror, the Colossal Titan begins to deteriorate and plummets towards Eren and the Armored Titan.

The Colossal Titan's falling body hits the ground, releasing a massive amount of heat and steam and enabling the Armored Titan to free itself from Eren's grasp and extract Eren from his Titan form. Bertholdt, carrying the still unconscious Ymir, uses stolen 3DMG to leave with the Armored Titan. The blast seriously injures many of the Scouts, including Mikasa and Hange. Several hours later in Trost District, Commander Pyxis, Erwin, Jean, and the other military forces are informed about the battle with the Colossal and Armored Titans as well as the capture of Eren and Ymir. Back at the walls, Armin watches over the unconscious Mikasa. While unconscious, Mikasa has a dream about the past, wherein she rescued Eren from the neighborhood bullies. She wakes, and is distraught to find that Eren is gone. There is nothing they can do about it in their current state, but Hannes gives a rousing speech reminding them of Eren's steadfast resolve, and vows to help them rescue Eren. Erwin soon arrives with reinforcements. Hange, now awake, posits that Reiner and Bertholdt may seek the relative safety of a nearby Forest of Giant Trees to rest until nightfall, assuming their goal is to relocate outside of Wall Maria. Eren and Ymir are shown waking in the forest as their bodies begin to regenerate their missing and damaged limbs while Reiner and Bertholdt watch over them. The episode ends with the soldiers departing from Wall Rose to mount a rescue operation.

As Erwin leads the expedition away from Wall Rose, the badly injured Hange demands a horse to ride to Connie's town to see the captured Titan who was unable to walk. Her assistant Moblit refuses and goes in her stead. Meanwhile, in the Forest of Giant Trees, Eren realizes that he has no arms, but his attempts to Titan Shift are stopped by Ymir. She points out that they are they deep within Titan territory, surrounded by Titans, weakened from their earlier battle, and only Reiner and Bertholdt possess 3DMG. When questioned, Reiner says that they are taking them to their hometown, and are waiting until nightfall, when the surrounding Titans cannot move. Eren remains unconvinced, but Ymir reminds him that they are not in a position to fight until they regenerate. Reiner begins to ramble about his duty as a soldier and warrior, which Ymir figures indicates confusion between his undercover and real personas. This infuriates Eren, who confronts Reiner and Bertholdt about the death and destruction they have caused as Titans. Ymir however, is more concerned about the ape-like Titan that caused the recent Titan invasion and who may be their real enemy. Reiner then uses Ymir's concern for Christa's safety as leverage to drive a wedge between Ymir and Eren. The discussion is interrupted by the sound of flare guns, signalling the arrival of the Scouts, which angers Reiner and Bertholdt.

At Connie's village, Moblit assumes the Titans destroyed it without killing any humans. However, when he is handed a portrait of Connie's parents, it appears that the disabled Titan is Connie's mother. At the Forest of Giant Trees, Reiner continues to press Ymir to join them, but she'll only help if they agree to take Christa with them. In a flashback to Ymir's childhood, she is taken in and worshiped by a cult, who insist she has royal blood. She lives this lie until the cult is apprehended by soldiers, who punish the cultists and Ymir by injecting them with something and throwing them off a wall, resulting in them Titan Shifting. Ymir then spends the next 60 years as a Titan, only to happen upon Reiner, Bertholdt, Annie, and their friend Marcel. Marcel saves Reiner, but is eaten by Ymir, allowing her to return to human form. She realizes the freedom she felt in accepting who she was instead of living a lie was why she developed such empathy with Christa. Returning to the present, Ymir convinces Reiner and Bertholdt to allow her to Titan Shift and take Christa with them. When the 104th Trainees enter the forest, Titan Ymir singles out Christa and envelops her in her mouth before rejoining Reiner and Bertholdt. At the edge of the forest, Reiner shifts into the Armored Titan, and with Bertholdt, Eren and Titan Ymir on his shoulders, he flees, with the Scouts in hot pursuit.

As the Armored Titan flees, Ymir removes Christa from her mouth and exits her Titan Form in order to explain her actions to Christa. She claims she is doing this only to save herself, as she believes that by handing Christa over to those outside the Walls she will be granted amnesty, though in secret is trying to save her. Their conversation is interrupted by attacks from the Scouts, who have caught up to the Armored Titan. Christa convinces Ymir not to intervene as Mikasa desperately throws herself at Bertholdt to save Eren, only to be foiled when the Armored Titan surrounds the two with his hands. The rest of the 104th Trainees catch up with Mikasa and attempt to reason with Bertholdt to give up Eren but he refuses, distraughtly professing he and Reiner have done too much harm to let their mission be a failure. Hannes then orders them to scatter when he sees them charging straight towards a group of Titans baited by Erwin. As the Armored Titan is attacked by the arriving Titans, Erwin orders a charge but is carried away in the mouth of a Titan. Reiner, realizing he has no choice but to use his arms to defend himself, releases Eren and Bertholdt, but Mikasa is severely wounded by a Titan while trying to save Eren. Desperate, Armin distracts Bertholdt by infuriating him with the revelation that Annie was captured, allowing an opening for Erwin - now missing an arm - to cut Eren free of Bertholdt, allowing the injured Mikasa to finally rescue him. As the Scouts retreat, Connie and Sasha retrieve Christa and explain that Ymir is lying as she would never harm her. The retreat is hampered by the Armored Titan, who begins to throw Titans at the group, successfully knocking Eren and Mikasa off their horse. Helpless, they hear an approaching Titan and turn to face it, coming face-to-face with the same Titan that ate Eren's mother.

With the Scouts in a losing battle as more Titans thrown by the Armored Titan surround their position, Eren tries but fails to transform and is forced to watch Hannes get killed protecting Mikasa and him from the Smiling Titan. Despairing, Mikasa comforts Eren and thanks him for always being there for her. Rekindling his spirit by vowing to protect Mikasa, Eren throws a punch at the Smiling Titan, activating an unknown power within him that suddenly causes the non-sentient Titans to attack and kill it, avenging both his mother and Hannes. Ymir realizes Reiner and Bertholdt want Eren because he possesses the "Coordinate", the ability to control other Titans. The survivors escape after Eren causes the Titans to stop the Armored Titan. Feeling guilty for them, Ymir decides to leave Historia, believing she will be safe within the Walls, and saves Reiner and Bertholdt, letting them take her back to their hometown so they won't come back empty-handed. A week after the Wall Rose incident, Hange gives her report to Levi, Erwin and Pyxis, revealing the Titans that appeared within Wall Rose were in fact the people of Connie's village, shocked by her theory that all Titans were once human. Remembering how many died to rescue him, Eren vows to use his new power to help humanity, while Erwin is determined to learn more of the truth behind the Titans. Elsewhere, the Beast Titan looks out from atop Wall Maria as a mysterious blonde man with glasses emerges from its back uttering the words, "not just yet".

December 9, 2013 (2013-12-09)

In the year 850, whilst Eren and the others are in training, the Recon Corps go on a mission, with Hange deciding to pursue a Titan spotted in the forest in the hopes she can capture it. Curiously, as Hange gets the Titan to chase after her, it suddenly retreats to the forest. Hange follows it to the center of the forest, where she finds it banging its head against a certain tree. The Titan turns hostile when Hange gets close to it, but Levi and the others arrive and kill it, much to Hange's dismay. Upon inspecting the scene, they discover the decapitated body of Ilse Langnar, a soldier from the 34th Recon Corps division, resting inside of the tree, and find a notebook belonging to her lying on the ground. The notebook details Ilse's records, as she escaped on foot after her squad was killed by Titans. She eventually became cornered by a Titan, but instead of killing her right away, it started to speak to her in the human language, calling her "Ymir". Ilse attempted to communicate with the Titan, but it inevitably became hostile again and bit off her head, curiously choosing not to devour her body but instead rest it inside the tree. Having read through all of Ilse's notes, Hange uses the notebook as leverage to convince Erwin to approve of operations to capture Titans alive and study them, before returning Ilse's belongings to her grief-stricken family.

After Jean gets into a dispute with Sasha following a training exercise, Commander Pyxis suggests they settle things in a cooking contest. With Armin and Annie joining Jean's team and Connie and Reiner teaming up with Sasha, the two groups head into the forest in search of a notorious giant boar to use as meat. Sasha's group come across the boar first and engage it in battle, with Sasha managing to kill it and claim it for her group. Later, after Jean is visited by his mother, shouting at her when he feels she is embarrassing him, he concocts a plan to steal some quality beef from the office so he can beat Sasha, but Armin and Annie refuse to help him. After inevitably giving up on his plan, Jean opens a lunchbox his mother left him containing an omelette, remembering all the times his mother stood by him. The cooking contest soon takes place, with Sasha presenting a prime boar steak whilst Jean presents a humble omelette. Although wowed by the taste of the steak, Pyxis declares Jean the winner as he showed more skill in cooking. Content with his victory, Jean considers paying a visit to his mother.
