Synopsis
● "That day, the human race remembered the terror of being dominated by them, and the
shame of being held captive in a birdcage..." — Over 100 years ago, a natural predator
of humanity appeared: the Titans, giant humanoid but mindless monsters whose sole
purpose of existence seemed to be to devour humans. There was an insurmountable
gap in power between them and mankind, and as a result, humanity was rapidly
exterminated to the brink of extinction. The survivors responded by constructing three
concentric walls: Wall Maria, Wall Rose and Wall Sina, which graced them with a
century of peace.
● However, one day a Colossal Titan far larger than any other seen before breached the
outer wall, allowing the smaller Titans to invade the human territory and forcing the
survivors to retreat to the inner walls. Eren Jaeger, a boy whose mother was eaten
during the invasion, vowed to wipe every last Titan off the face of the Earth, and joined
the military determined to exact his revenge.
