Memory Scenes Advance

Zeke went to Paradis Island to assist Reiner and the others, and together with the Marley biological warfare unit, he cruelly turned the villagers into Pure Titans, killing Survey Corps squad leader Sanko Zacharias and members of the Mick Squad.

Zeke and Reiner became entangled in the question of whether to rescue Annie Leonard before seizing the Founding Titan. As a result, Zeke transformed into the Beast Titan and defeated the Armored Titan, forcing Reiner and Bertholdt Hoover to prioritize seizing the Founding Titan, Annie issue was temporarily put on hold.

During the operation to retake Wall Maria, Zeke transformed into the Beast Titan, unleashing terrifying slingshot skills that reduced the Survey Corps to only nine members, nearly killing Commander Erwin Smith. However, he was caught off guard and defeated by the enraged Levi Ackerman, who sliced off the Beast Titan's nape and briefly captured him. Fortunately, the Cart Titan rescued Zeke Cart Titan to Eren's location, intending to rescue Bertrand Hoover but failing. He briefly negotiated with Eren, and after the negotiations failed, he and the Cart Titan rescued Reiner, evacuated Paradis Island, and returned to Marley.

854

The Marley were fighting a Mid-East Allied Forces. Zeke dropped bombs and destroyed a group of Middle Eastern Allied Forces. He was rescued by Reiner during a counterattack by enemy naval guns, and then dropped bombs again to destroy the group.

After the war Zeke met with military commanders from Marley on the battlefield and proposed restarting the Paradis Island strategy.

Zeke secretly spoke with Reiner and his comrades, recounting the Eldians crisis.

Zeke spoke privately with Eren, who had illegally crossed into Marley, and they exchanged ideas.

Zeke feigned defeat in the Liberio incident, was captured by Levi, and taken away on an airship. This was because Zeke had already conspired with the Eldia government to betray Marley and join Eldia.

Because of the distrust from the island's higher-ups, Zeke was taken to the Giant Tree Forest by Levi and his troops and kept under guard for several days.

Zeke devised a plan to transform the soldiers guarding the Giant Tree Forest into Pure Titans in order to delay Levi and allow him to escape. However, Levi fought desperately and successfully broke through the encirclement. Zeke transformed into the Beast Titan to fight back, but was defeated and pulled away by Levi's Thunder Spear. Levi captured him and tied him to the Thunder Spear. In a dazed state, Zeke recalled his past with the previous host of the Beast Titan and fought desperately to break the Thunder Spear's fuse. As a result, Zeke was killed by the Thunder Spear, and Levi was also seriously injured by the aftershock. However, Zeke was resurrected by Ymir, the Founding Mother, in the "Path" and left with the Yeagerists who came to greet him.

Zeke arrived at Shiganshina and joined the battle, relieving Eren from his predicament. He used precise slingshot techniques to suppress the Armored Titan and Jaw Titan, but was later tricked by the Cart Titan's feigned death and was shot down from the wall.

After Eren was shot in the head by Gabi Braun, Zeke, who emerged from the Beast Titan, Eren Eren's head, and the Zeke entered the "Path" together.

Inside the "Road," Zeke tricked Eren into revealing his true intentions and seized control of the Coordinate. He attempted to persuade Eren through a memory replay, but ultimately failed. During the memory replay Nakayoshi also forgave his father. Zeke ordered the Founding Father Ymir, to implement the "Subjects of Ymir's Euthanasia Plan," which would deprive all of Subjects of Ymir of their reproductive abilities, but Eren stopped him.

Eren transformed into the Colossus in front of Zeke and unleashed the Rumbling, leaving Zeke's fate unknown.

Zeke appears in the "Special Space" and speaks with Armin. In the "Road," he is persuaded by Armin to return to the real world and voluntarily beheaded by Levi, thus stopping the Rumbling.

Hidden timeline from 845 to 854 (exact time unknown)

He rescued Yelena during a mission and together Yelena formed Anti-Marleyan Volunteers (Zeke was responsible for the overall planning and covert support, while Yelena was responsible for propaganda and management during military operations). They planned the Eldian Restoration Plan and dispatched Anti-Marleyan Volunteers to provide assistance for the construction of Paradis Island. They negotiated with the leaders of the Hizuru, using Paradis Island's resources to exchange for scientific and technological support and military aid.

Reiner Brown, male, voiced by Yoshimasa Hosoya, Junya Enoki, and others in the anime. His name comes from Old German and means "decisive warrior".

Reiner Braun is the current "Vice Commander" of the Marley Army's Warrior Unit, second only to Warrior Commander Zeke. His superior is Marley Army General Dio Magath. A mature-beyond-his-years recruit, he is tall and imposing. He claims to be from his "hometown" (Marley's Liberio concentration camp), but his true identity is that of an Eldian Titan warrior sent by Marley, a key member of the Paradis Island operation. He infiltrated the walls for five years as an undercover agent, carrying out the "Founding Titan Retrieval Plan" (also known as the "Coordinate power"), in order to bring Eren back to Marley.

Based on chapter 93, it is inferred that Reiner inherited the Armored Titan at the age of 10. The reason for the Armored Titan form is unknown. His body is covered with hardened tissue in many places, just like a Titan wearing armor. His main attack modes are melee and charging, and he has the explosive power to smash through city gates.

Unlike the Female Titan, Armored Titan is normally covered in armor, but he is not bulky. His 3D Omni-Directional Mobility Gear and artillery fire are almost useless. Combined with Reiner's own fighting skills, he forms a very formidable fighting force. When he dashes or grapples, the Armored Titan on the back of his knees will fall off, allowing him to unleash amazing speed and destructive power. However, the lack of protection on the back of his knees is also his weakness.

The Armored Titan's Armored Titan is not indestructible. In chapter 70, the Beast Titan damaged the Armored Titan's face and shoulder Armored Titan. In chapter 93, a single shot from a battleship of the Middle Eastern Alliance could destroy the Armored Titan. At the end of chapter 72, "The Eve of the Recapture Operation," Reiner and Bertholdt appear on the walls of Wall Maria and are shown to have lived there for some time. At the end of chapter 76, "Thunder Spear," Reiner is struck in the back of the neck by Thunder Spear while in his transformed state, and his fate is unknown. In chapter 77... Reiner's head was blasted away by Thunder Spear, losing 90% of its length, but he was still able to roar in his Titan form. In chapter 78, he seems to have shifted his nerves downwards, avoiding death. In chapters 79 and 80, his head regenerates, and he stands up again. In chapter 82, he is pierced by Mikasa's Thunder Spear, detached from his Titan body, and is in a near-death state. In chapter 83, his limbs are severed, but they are taken away by the Beast Titan and the Cart Titan. In chapter 89, he is mentioned in a letter Ymir wrote to Historia Reiss, where Ymir says, "No girl would ever like him."

In chapter 91, 21-year-old Reiner reappears, currently serving in the Marley Empire's airship unit. In chapter 92 Reiner bravely protects the Beast Titan, but is defeated by the Middle East Alliance's (Mid-East Allied Forces) naval guns. In chapter 93, Falco mentions that Reiner has only two years left to live. In chapter 98, he encounters Eren disguised as a wounded Marley soldier. In chapter 99, he has a painful conversation with Eren and confesses his sins to Eren. In chapter 103, he sacrifices himself underground to transform and protect Falco. In chapter 104, Reiner sheds his protective Armored Titan, fighting Eren in an incomplete form, rescuing the Jaw Titan, Porco Jarriad, but is severely injured by Eren in the process.

In chapter 119, Reiner, facing Falco who had become the Pure Titans, had his neck Hardening and decided to sacrifice himself for Falco. At the last moment, Porco Jarriad, who had lost his fighting ability, saved Reiner and was consumed by Falco in his place. In chapter 124, due to the Founding Titan's Hardening, his Armored Titan peeled off, and he obtained the new Titan, the "Hell Titan," deciding to live a peaceful life and sleep. In chapter 125, he was awakened by Annie and joined the Avengers Alliance to save the world. In chapter 126, he was brutally beaten by Jean for admitting to indirectly killing Marco Bott.
