Chapter Summaries

Whitebeard and the World Government’s artillery slowed the Rumbling at the Star Gate, while the High Command learned that the Colossal Titan’s steam-explosion transformation could be used only once a day. The commanders planned a counterattack into World No. 3, but Zephyr questioned whether they had accounted for their enemies’ Future Sight.

• Whitebeard shattered the first rows of Wall Titans, but more continued pouring through the Star Gate.
• The World Government’s howitzers and Flying Warships fired Jet Bullets that tore through the advancing Titans and held them near the gate.
• Kong, Steel Bone, Sengoku, Raymond, Zephyr, and Tsuru debated sending in the Giant Unit and worried about another nuclear-like attack.
• Nusjuro told Kong that the steam explosion came from a Colossal Titan inheritor who could transform only once a day, and that World No. 3 lacked ways to harm most Logia users.
• Sengoku proposed sending Garp, Whitebeard, Bullet, and Crocodile with the Giant Unit while Akainu, Kizaru, Aokiji, and Aramaki invaded from the air; Kaido and Big Mom would strike the enemy rear if the inheritor used the explosion.
• Zephyr asked whether they had overlooked the enemy’s Future Sight ability.

Minister Kong and the other commanders received Imu’s intelligence on World No. 3 and orders to conquer its regimes, capture Eren Yeager alive, and publicly execute him. On the Red Line, Whitebeard and Garp held back the Rumbling as King Harald led Elbaf’s Giants into battle against the Wall Titans.

• Minister Kong told Sengoku, Zephyr, and Tsuru that the Five Elders had obtained key intelligence on World No. 3, and Tsuru wondered whether Kagaya Ubuyashiki had provided it.
• A document arrived detailing Marley, the Nine Titans, the Rumbling, Eldians, Ackermans, Paradis Island, and Eren Yeager’s abilities; it also ordered the World Government to eliminate participating regimes, spare Eldians and Ackermans for capture, and take Eren alive for a public execution.
• Zephyr, Raymond, Tsuru, and Sengoku discussed Titan powers and Eren’s ability to see and transmit memories across time.
• Whitebeard used Murakumogiri’s Tremor-Tremor Fruit power to destroy armored Titans and push back the Rumbling while Garp smashed Wall Titans with his punches.
• King Harald led 2,132 Elbaf Giants in a charge against the Wall Titans, and Morgans recorded the clash for viewers across three worlds.

Sakazuki, Borsalino, and Kuzan entered the enemy world to stop the Rumbling’s forces from passing through the Star Gate. Borsalino destroyed a large artillery position, while the allied generals wondered where Eren, Mikasa, Levi, and Willy Tybur had gone.

• Arakawa delivered High Command’s order for the officers to enter the enemy world and halt the Rumbling’s follow-up forces.
• The Flying Warship passed through the Star Gate, and Borsalino and the others saw countless Wall Titans marching toward the coast.
• A barrage of ten thousand high-explosive shells targeted the warship as Borsalino launched Yasakani no Magatama against them.
• Borsalino’s light beams cleared the shells and destroyed nearly three thousand heavy howitzers.
• Calvi, Theo Magath, and the allied generals realized that Eren, Mikasa, Levi, and Willy Tybur were absent from the command room.

Borsalino intercepted the Allied forces’ attacks while the High Command ordered a full counterattack through the Star Gate. In the Giant World, Sakazuki began devastating the Rumbling with Meteor Volcano, turning the battlefield into a lake of magma.

• Borsalino blocked the shells fired by the Allied forces, and Sengoku concluded that Eren had withheld the Colossal Titan because its Steam Explosion would be ineffective against Sakazuki and the others.
• Steel Bone Kong ordered a full counterattack, sending Kaido and Big Mom’s Flying Warships through the Star Gate as the ground forces prepared to advance.
• Sakazuki assigned Kuzan to clear the sea and ordered Aramaki to capture the Allied artillery intact.
• Sakazuki recalled Borsalino’s explanation of the difference between military conquest and piracy, reaffirmed his absolute justice, and unleashed Meteor Volcano on the Wall Titans.
• Sakazuki’s magma shells swallowed row after row of Titans and transformed the peninsula behind the Medium Star Gate into a lake of magma.

Kuzan froze the bay to halt one route of the Rumbling, but learned that Eren had sent Wall Titans toward other approaches. As Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, and their forces advanced through the Star Gate, Imu saw Eren’s rocket attack and wondered why he resisted the World Government so fiercely.

• Kuzan flew over the bay and used Ice Age to freeze the sea, the seabed, and nearby Allied warships, stopping Wall Titans from emerging there.
• Fleet Admiral Sengoku told Kuzan that more Wall Titans were approaching from the peninsula’s northwest and southeast, and Kuzan realized Eren had anticipated his attack.
• Nineteen Flying Warships left the Star Gate with Kaido and Charlotte Linlin aboard the lead ship, followed by Marco, King, Prometheus, and Zeus.
• Thousands of rocket-propelled shells flew toward the Flying Warships, and Imu recognized them as rocket launchers aimed using Eren’s Future Sight.
• Imu deduced that Eren had lured Kizaru and Kuzan away before targeting Sakazuki, Kaido, and Charlotte Linlin, then questioned why Eren fought the World Government instead of accepting its supposed benefits for Eldians.

Charlotte Linlin, Kaido, and their allies advanced toward the World Allied Forces, whose Thunder Spears and anti-aircraft guns met them with heavy fire. Kaido left with King to circle behind the enemy, while Marco and King’s forces shielded the flying fleet from the barrage.

• Charlotte Linlin sent Zeus to intercept more than a thousand Thunder Spears with a massive thunderstorm.
• Kaido proposed blocking the World Allied Forces’ retreat, and Linlin agreed to attack from the opposite side.
• Kaido and King took ten Flying Warships onward while Linlin and Marco stayed with nine ships above the enemy position.
• Marshal Calvi ordered 4,367 heavy Anti-Aircraft Guns and Thunder Spear vehicles to fire on both fleets.
• Marco used a Blue Flame shield and King created a flaming tornado to protect the Flying Warships from the incoming barrage.
• Kaido thrilled by the battle, praised it as the great war he had wanted.

The World Government’s main combat forces arrived through the Star Gate in the Giant World, where the Rumbling still threatened the peninsula and the gate. Garp and Whitebeard charged toward the Titans, leaving Bullet and Crocodile to defend the Star Gate.

• Kaido watched King lead over two hundred Air Force officers in battle against the position’s anti-aircraft guns and Thunder Spear vehicles while the flying warship moved through the bombardment.
• Garp and Edward Newgate emerged through the Star Gate, followed by Crocodile, Bullet, the Army Lieutenant Generals, King Harald’s Giant Unit, and Steve Guts’s Kabaneri Unit.
• The World Government’s main combat forces gathered as the Rumbling surrounded the Star Gate, while the lack of a map and the Titans’ seemingly endless numbers complicated their plans.
• Garp told Edward Newgate that someone needed to guard the Star Gate, but Newgate charged toward the Titans to attack Eren.
• Garp ordered Bullet and Crocodile to build a defensive line and stop Titans from reaching the Star Gate, then rushed after Newgate.

At the second defensive line, soldiers Blake and Arnold argued as the World Allied Forces prepared for an attack by the Otherworld invaders. After Marco’s flying warships bombarded the minefield, Giants warriors emerged from the smoke, leaving the defenders terrified.

• Arnold asked Blake whether the Army could defeat the invaders, and Blake said he expected them both to die.
• Blake admitted that he had slept with Melissa before going to war, and Arnold angrily confronted him.
• The Otherworld’s flying warships bombarded the minefield after landmines had killed soldiers at the first defensive line.
• After the bombardment stopped, Giants warriors emerged through the smoke, terrifying Arnold and the soldiers in the trenches.

The World Government’s Giant Units and Kabaneri warriors overwhelmed the World Allied Forces’ second defensive line, slaughtering soldiers despite their desperate resistance. Shiryu killed Blake and survived Arnold’s grenade, leaving the two friends dead and dismissing the weapon as harmless.

• The Kabaneri warriors blasted gaps in the Allied defenses while Giant Units charged through the trenches and massacred soldiers.
• The Allied soldiers fixed bayonets and launched suicidal attacks to protect their families and keep their weapons firing.
• Shiryu cut down charging soldiers and complained that the people of this world were too weak to make killing interesting.
• Blake confronted Shiryu and demanded to know why the invaders were killing people and refusing to leave.
• Shiryu decapitated Blake, and Arnold rushed in with a smoking grenade to avenge his friend.
• The grenade exploded around Shiryu, but he emerged unharmed and mocked it as a toy.

The World Government forces devastated the World Allied Forces’ defenses while High Command debated how to stop the seemingly endless Rumbling. The chapter left the commanders considering a search for Eren, despite having little information about him or how to find him.

• The Army advanced through the Star Gate as Edward Newgate and Garp broke into the third defensive line, while Charlotte Linlin, Kaido, and King struck the enemy from above.
• Kaido ordered the Air Force officers to intercept an approaching fleet of biplanes and combat airships.
• Combat airships began exploding in suicide attacks, killing Air Force officers who tried to approach them.
• Minister Tsuru and Minister Kong warned that the Rumbling could continue indefinitely while Ymir shaped Titans and Eren kept it activated.
• Marshal Sengoku asked how long Eren had to live, and Zephyr argued that they needed to find him despite lacking identifying information and facing communication barriers.

Imu considered how to stop Eren’s Rumbling and concluded that locating him required information about the Giant World and a way to overcome its language barrier. After finding the Glint-Glint Fruit unavailable for Viola, he chose to pursue Patrick Redfield as a potential user and ordered the Five Elders to locate him.

• Imu reasoned that Eren could restart the Rumbling as long as he remained alive, making it essential to find and capture him.
• Imu searched the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia and the Holy Land Treasury records for abilities that could translate the Giant World’s languages, but found no Language-Language, Text-Text, or Listen-Listen Fruit in the treasury.
• Imu identified the Glint-Glint Fruit as useful for finding Eren because it could reveal thoughts and see across a range of four thousand kilometers.
• Stussy brought Imu information showing that five-year-old Viola did not have the Glint-Glint Fruit, but that the fruit was in King Riku’s royal treasury.
• Imu decided Patrick Redfield might be a suitable candidate and ordered Stussy to tell the Five Elders to find his whereabouts.

Eren confessed that the World Government would conquer and enslave his world, then left with Mikasa to keep the Rumbling going while they escaped to South America. As the war continued, the Five Elders sent Patrick Redfield to capture Eren.

• Eren admitted to Levi and the others that he had lied about the Otherworld forces and that their defeat was unavoidable.
• Eren explained that he wanted Eldians to survive rather than fight, and told Levi to take Queen Historia into hiding.
• Mikasa chose to accompany Eren, who planned to live in the sky and keep the Rumbling active until his death.
• Eren and Mikasa departed for South America after refueling at the exchange port.
• Minister Kong informed the Sea Star Headquarters commanders that Patrick Redfield was coming to capture Eren.

Imu chose a combat-capable technical specialist to receive the Glint-Glint Fruit and found a different Devil Fruit for Redfield. Redfield and Muzan Kibutsuji then joined Laskey at the Demon Slayer World Star Gate base to begin the operation to hunt Eren Yeager.

• Redfield rejected the Glint-Glint Fruit and asked to join the World Government only as an honorary general.
• Imu decided the fruit would suit a technically skilled, combat-capable person and recalled a candidate who was cowardly but hard to kill.
• Imu considered another Devil Fruit for Redfield that could help him hunt Eren Yeager.
• Two days later, Redfield and Muzan Kibutsuji followed Laskey into the heavily fortified Star Gate base for Demon Slayer World No. 0002.
• Laskey explained that the team would enter Eren’s world, locate Paradis Island, and use Redfield’s memory-reading ability to identify Eren before pursuing him.

Redfield and his companions searched for information about the World Allied Forces and learned that a captured Marley officer knew the location of the capital. By reading the officer’s memories, Redfield found maps marking Paradis Island, and the plane turned north.

• Redfield asked Captain Laskey whether he had located the enemy headquarters, and Muzan Kibutsuji suggested going to a capital to question influential people.
• Redfield praised Muzan Kibutsuji’s intelligence, revealed that he could read minds, and warned him not to use Mind Sight against him.
• Redfield ordered Captain Laskey to capture an officer, and Laskey returned to the plane with a frightened Marley squad captain.
• Redfield read the captain’s memories and found a world map and a map of Marley marked with Paradis Island.
• Redfield had the captain thrown out of the cabin, wiped his fingers, and turned the plane north.

The New Eldian Empire welcomed Redfield, Laskey, and Muzan Kibutsuji after their plane arrived at Wall Sina. Redfield read Historia’s memories, learned where Eren was headed, and left without speaking, leaving the Eldian leaders confused.

• Imu weighed the World Government’s options for stopping Eren and ordered Redfield and the others to capture him alive.
• Historia refused Levi’s suggestion that she hide, and ordered the New Eldian Empire to follow Eren’s plan and welcome the visitors.
• A monoplane flew over Paradis Island and landed before Wall Sina, where Historia, Erwin, Levi, Hange, and officials waited.
• Redfield sensed Historia’s unusual aura and read her memories to identify Eren and learn what he had told Levi.
• Redfield smiled and departed with Laskey and Muzan Kibutsuji, leaving Historia and the others wondering why he had come.

The World Allied Forces surrendered after their defenses and weapons were destroyed, but a far larger Rumbling advanced from inland as the exhausted defenders prepared for a new battle. Sakazuki planned to stop the Titans with erupting volcanoes, and Garp offered to break the volcanoes apart afterward so Kuzan could extinguish the fires.

• Calvi, Dio Magath, and Monte Negro walked out with a white flag to surrender to Garp, Newgate, and the others.
• Shiryu, Crocodile, and Bullet argued over who would claim the military merit for killing the surrendering leaders until Sakazuki ordered the three imprisoned and everyone else executed.
• A vast Rumbling appeared from inland, with a sea of Wall Titans far larger than the previous advance.
• Sakazuki proposed creating several eternally erupting volcanoes to hold back the seemingly endless Titans.
• Garp accepted Sakazuki's plan and said he would smash the volcanoes apart afterward so Kuzan could put out the fires.

The Otherworld Strategy Committee struggled with the language barrier and the lengthy pursuit of Eren Yeager. Kongming proposed sending Admiral Kizaru to help catch him, and the committee considered the plan.

• CIPHER POL agents surveyed the Giant World and sent intelligence to the command hall while linguists began studying Marleyan.
• Gabriel reported that Redfield and his companions were still far behind Eren, and Marlen Winfred and Hobson Samuel discussed the difficulty of catching up.
• Fernandez noticed Kongming thinking and asked whether he had a solution.
• Kongming proposed recruiting Admiral Kizaru to use repeated light-speed movements to reach Eren's aircraft, guided by Redfield and Muzan Kibutsuji.
• Kongming argued that Eren's Titans could not harm Kizaru's Logia body, making the pursuit feasible.

Imu approved Kongming's plan to use Kizaru, Redfield, and Muzan Kibutsuji to deal with Eren Yeager, then traveled to the Boin Archipelago. There, he met the Ubuyashiki Sisters, who were beginning their work as his maids.

• Kongming's proposal was reported to Imu, who approved the plan and considered how to capture Eren Yeager without losing his Titan powers.
• Stussy told Imu that Noah would soon reach the Boin Archipelago and that the Navy escort carrying Agricultural College botanists and Tontatta Tribe members would arrive in about two weeks.
• Stussy reported that Shyarly and Lady Mijit had settled at Ubuyashiki Estate, where Kagaya Ubuyashiki had sensed a familiar aura from Shyarly.
• Imu ordered the Ubuyashiki Sisters to accompany him around the Boin Archipelago and arrived there aboard Noah.
• Imu met Hina Ubuyashiki, Hinaki Ubuyashiki, Kanata Ubuyashiki, and Kuina Ubuyashiki as they introduced themselves.

Redfield, Laskey, and Muzan reached the Hizuru Kingdom while pursuing Eren Yeager, and Redfield subdued the airfield’s defenders with Conqueror’s Haki. After reading two officers’ memories, they discovered they could understand the locals and learned that Ivan, Mikasa, and the others had passed through the kingdom; Laskey prepared to report the breakthrough while Redfield searched for useful memories.

• The pilot spotted the Hizuru Kingdom, and Redfield directed the monoplane toward its harbor and airfield to refuel and gather supplies.
• Redfield leaped from the plane and knocked out the airfield’s soldiers and officers with a controlled burst of Conqueror’s Haki.
• Muzan and the pilot searched for fuel and supplies while Laskey brought two officers to Redfield for questioning.
• Redfield read the officers’ memories, learned about the Hizuru Kingdom and saw that Ivan, Mikasa, and the others had changed planes there.
• Laskey celebrated that they could understand the locals and took out a Den Den Mushi to contact the homeland.
• Redfield began searching the airfield and harbor, while the officers Laskey had thrown onto the lawn struck rocks and died.

Eren and Mikasa reached a snow-covered mountain, where Eren explained that the Divine Realm would capture him soon and revealed his plan to die before they could claim the power of the Nine Titans. He left Mikasa with a bomb detonator and told her to fly away on the morning of the fourth day.

• Eren and Mikasa landed on the sacred snow mountain, and Eren enjoyed the scenery before revealing they had only three days before their pursuers caught up.
• Eren told Mikasa that his captors would execute him and have an Eldian inherit his Titan powers, leaving Eldians vulnerable to a worse future.
• Eren explained that he had gathered the Nine Titans to make the Otherworld experience their power and delay its acquisition for more than a decade.
• Eren said he would demonstrate the powers of the remaining Titans on the mountain and then kill himself before he could be captured.
• Eren gave Mikasa the remote detonator for the bomb beside his heart and asked her to use it if necessary and escape by plane on the morning of the fourth day.
