The conversation on the deck. That night, after arriving at the hangar, Annie sat alone outside. When Mikasa asked her to practice the new Mikasa Omni-Directional Mobility Gear with Reiner, Annie reiterated her intention to leave the Alliance. Annie expressed that she didn't understand the concept of saving humanity and felt sorry for the Alliance who had risked everything to save her homeland. She only hoped to spend her final days peacefully. While speaking, Annie unconsciously glanced at Armin, who was working inside the hangar. The perceptive Mikasa immediately noticed, and Annie, realizing she had been caught, shyly lowered her head.

Seeing this, Mikasa was speechless with surprise and asked Annie, "Since when?" Annie countered, "What?" Mikasa replied, "Nothing, I know." Hearing this, Annie became even more embarrassed and impatient, asking, "Know what?" But Mikasa continued, "You don't need to add to your painful memories, but Armin will be coming with us on the airship to find Eren."

Annie's expression turned sour upon hearing this, and she asked Mikasa, "And then? What are you planning to do? Kill Eren for the sake of humanity?" Mikasa replied, "I won't do that. I just want to bring Eren back." Annie also noticed that Mikasa wasn't wearing her scarf, so she asked about it. Mikasa said, "I'm wearing it, but I'm not wearing it right now."

The day after Mikasa discovered Armin's feelings for Armin, Annie bid farewell to Reiner and Pieck outside the hangar. Annie felt guilty for being the only deserter, but Pieck comforted her, saying that Annie had never truly been loyal to Marley and shouldn't worry about it. Reiner also apologized to Annie for forcing Annie and Bertolt to destroy the wall years ago. Annie confessed that she had thought of killing Reiner countless times, to which Reiner replied with a wry smile, "And you've endured it for so long."

The two shared an awkward hug. Reiner asked Annie to take care of Gabi and Falco. Afterward, Annie left the hangar and boarded a ship. As she left, Annie waved goodbye to Armin and the rest of the Survey Corps. Soon after, the Rumbling arrived at the hangar. Before the Rumbling could destroy the hangar, Annie, Kiyomi, Gabi, Falco, and the others escaped by ship.

On their journey back to the battlefield by ship to Hizuru, Annie spoke with Kiyomi Azumabito on the deck. When Kiyomi Azumabito said, "Why didn't I realize it before I lost it? Instead of calculating gains and losses, I simply respected other people's thoughts..." Annie was lost in memories, recalling her father, the Warrior Unit, the 104th class, and the scene of Armin waving goodbye to her. She said painfully, "But it's too late."

Just as Annie was feeling melancholy, Gabi and Falco told her that Falco had dreamt of flying through the air, and that Falco believed he could do it because he had inherited the Jaw Titan's power after drinking Zeke's spinal fluid. They said they were going to the battlefield. Annie found this unbelievable and excitedly said, "If Falco's transformation here causes the ship to sink, everyone will die! What's lost can't be regained; it's too late!" Kiyomi Azumabito, standing nearby, said that even if the ship sank, it wouldn't matter, "Rather than adding to the regret." Annie fell silent after hearing this...

Recalling the past, their hearts were filled with pain. At this moment, Mikasa, Connie, Jean, Levi, Reiner, and Pieck were engaged in a fierce battle with the Nine Titans summoned by the Founding Titan Ymir. Soon, the Alliance was in grave danger. Just when they were in dire straits, Annie and Gabi flew to the battlefield in Falco's Titan and rescued them. Everyone was very excited to see Annie arrive. Annie said calmly, "I didn't expect Titans could really fly, but since they can fly, I had no choice but to come... But thankfully, I came."

Upon arriving at the battlefield, Annie inquired about Armin's whereabouts. Mikasa told her that Armin had been devoured by a Titan and was on the verge of death, then asked Annie for help. Annie retorted, "How come your childhood friend is trapped... Of course, we'll go and rescue him." The group then discussed their strategy, Levi suggested splitting into two groups: one to rescue Armin, and the other to blow off Eren's Founding Titan's neck.

Annie then returned to the battlefield of the Founding Titan to rescue Armin along with Mikasa and Connie. After identifying the Titan that had swallowed Armin from among a group of Titans, Annie decided to corner the Titan against the Founding Titan's tailbone. Annie shouted, "Get Armin back!" and jumped from the sky, transforming into the Female Titan.

While Annie was battling the Titans, the Titan that had swallowed Armin seized the opportunity to escape from Annie side. Annie realized it was heading towards the skull, so she, Mikasa, and Connie gave chase. However, the Colossal Titan summoned by the Founding Titan and countless Nine Titans then blocked their path...

Along with Mikasa and Connie, Annie rescues Armin. After a long battle with a large number of Titans, Annie is accidentally thrown to the ground by one of them, and then Titans from all around rush towards Annie. Just as Annie is in danger, the Colossal Titan (Bertolt) hanging on the skeleton of the Founding Titan suddenly waves his hand and disperses the Titans surrounding Annie is very surprised by this.

Meanwhile, Mikasa and Connie were chasing the Titan that had swallowed Armin. Gabi shot the Titan with her rifle in mid-air, Mikasa seized the opportunity to slash at the Titan with her sword, forcing it to spit out Armin. However, the Titan still wouldn't give up, sticking out its tongue and piercing Armin's thigh. After regaining consciousness, Armin immediately turned around and killed the Titan with his Thunder Spear. Connie also quickly cut off the Titan's tongue. Annie, Annie caught Armin falling from the sky with her (Female Titan's) hand. Grisha, Owl, and Tom Ksaver's Titans destroyed the surrounding Titans.

Annie and the others then watched from Falco's back Armin used the explosion generated by his transformation into the Colossal Titan to attack the Founding Titan. They watched the Colossal Titan's explosion from the air.

Annie and the others landed on the fortress aboard Falco's Titan. Falco, Gabi, and Pieck were reunited with their families. Annie looked in astonishment at the Eldians in the containment area. Reiner's mother told Annie that her father had led them there and urged Annie to find him immediately. A moment later, Annie found her father. The father and daughter, who hadn't seen each other for many years, stared at each other in disbelief. But before they could exchange a word, her father, who had inhaled the gas released by the Hallucigenia, and the other Eldians were transformed into Titans... Before Annie could recover from her grief, she and Pieck transformed again to help Reiner prevent the Hallucigenia from making contact with Eren. Annie, Pieck, and Reiner were surrounded and devoured by a large number of Pure Titans, finding themselves in an extremely dangerous situation.

The father and daughter were briefly reunited when Mikasa beheaded Eren. The Hallucigenia died, and the Pure Titans and Intelligent Titans reverted to human form. The power of the Titans vanished. Eren simultaneously lifted the lifespan limit of the Intelligent Titans. Annie awoke and embraced her recovered father. The Marley commander, wary of the Eldians, led his soldiers to block Annie and her father's path. Annie's father explained to the Marley commander that the power of the Titans had disappeared, but the Marley commander, filled with fear of the Titans, demanded that they immediately "prove" whether they were human or Titans.

Just then, Armin removed his equipment and stepped forward to confront the Marleyans. Armin said, "If we still possessed the power of the Titans, we would undoubtedly use it to fight back. Yet now, with guns pointed at us, we remain powerless mortals. This is irrefutable proof that we are indeed human." The Marley commander asked in astonishment, "Who are you?" Armin replied, "I am Armin Arlard of Paradis Island, the one who killed the 'Attack Titan,' Eren Yeager."...

Three years after Annie awoke and embraced her father, on the way back to Paradis Island as United Nations envoys with Armin, Connie, Jean, Reiner, and Pieck, to conduct peace negotiations, Annie expressed her concerns to Armin about the negotiations' success. "Armin, do you really think everything will go smoothly? We, who destroyed the walls, betrayed the island, and killed Eldia's idol, Eren, are actually serving as United Nations ambassadors for peace negotiations..."

Pieck quipped, "I don't think it would be too surprising if the ship sank here." Connie urged everyone to trust Historia, the queen who had first protected Jean's family and his mother. Annie listened quietly and said, "Protecting us, so fragile, right?" At this moment, Armin said to Annie, "Annie... the fighting won't stop, but once you see us standing together like this, you should want to know. You should want to know our story—why people who have killed each other countless times have come to Paradis Island to seek peace? Tell everyone the stories we've seen along the way, tell them everything that has happened." (The End)

Three years later: 23-year-old Annie and her friends learn on deck that their hometown is beyond saving. After nearly collapsing, Annie encounters Armin on deck. Sitting down, Annie asks Armin about his injuries and invites him to sit beside her. Annie thanks Armin for his companionship over the years and Armin, "But why are you talking to a completely unresponsive rock? Shouldn't there be a more cheerful and outgoing girl?" Armin replies, "Because I want to see you, to see Annie."

Upon hearing the answer, Annie buried her face in her arms and asked Armin why. Armin said anxiously, "You really don't know? Hitch even mocked me like that." Annie looked up, blushing, and said, "I don't know..." After a moment of silence, Annie told Armin that it was because Armin was a good person that he talked to the "Female Titan (monster)" who could wake up at any time, all to avoid fighting.

Armin didn't say anything after hearing this. Annie got up, somewhat disappointed, to leave, but Armin grabbed Annie wrist and asked her to sit down, saying, "I said before, I don't like people saying I'm a good person."

"I've killed so many people, even civilians who aren't soldiers and children... And now I've chosen to betray everyone on the island where I grew up, and I've even killed my comrades. I've been a monster for a long time." After Annie sat down, Armin recounted the promise he and Eren made as children to travel to the unknown world. Annie said, "The unknown world isn't actually that wonderful, is it?" Armin replied, "Yeah, it's not the world we dreamed of. But I still want to believe that there's something on the other side of the walls that we don't know about."

Porco Galliard Galliad, a Marley Warrior Unit and former host of the Jaw Titan, is the younger brother of Marcel Beli Galliad, the former host of the Jaw Titan. He has a slicked-back yellow hairstyle, deep-set features, and a strong physique.

He always complains about Reiner, but he actually cares about Reiner a lot.

Porco Galliard's Jaw Titan resembled his brother's Jaw Titan in appearance, with blond hair and beard, an astonishing bite force, sharp claws and teeth, and great jumping ability.

He absorbed the power of the Jaw Titan, one of the Nine Titans, from Ymir who voluntarily returned to Marley. He was the younger brother of Marcel Beli. During the siege of Slava Fortress, he single-handedly destroyed the field artillery on the fortress wall, saving Reiner Braun, the Armored Titan, from destruction.

Born in the Liberio Internment Zone of Marley. He was a fellow warrior candidate with Zeke, Reiner, and others, but failed to be selected as the Titan successor in 842-843. He was at odds with Reiner Braun because he was very dissatisfied with Reiner becoming the Armored Titan, believing that Reiner had used some underhanded means to indirectly cause the death of his brother, Marcel Beli Galliad. The truth is that Marcel deliberately belittled Porco Galliard in the military to prevent him from being selected in order to protect his brother.

During Willy Tybal's speech, he and Pieck were taken away by Yelena, a spy from Paradis Island, and fell into a trap that imprisoned Eldian warriors. They were later rescued by the Pancha Squad. When Eren Yeager was about to eat the War Hammer Titan, he ambushed him from behind, attempting to bite Eren off the back of the Attack Titan's neck. However, Levi Ackerman cut his jaw muscles to stop him. While trying to escape, he was wounded by Mikasa Ackerman's Thunder Spear and fell to the ground. Just as he was about to be killed by the Survey Corps, he was rescued by Pieck and the Pancha Squad, and a standoff ensued with the Survey Corps. In the ensuing battle, Eren severed the limbs of the Porco Galliard Titan and used its sharp jaws to shatter the War Hammer Titan Lala Tybal's crystal, successfully taking possession of the War Hammer Titan. Just as Porco Galliard was about to eat Eren, Reiner stepped forward and saved Porco Galliard.

He later joined the Marley army in the operation against the Shiganshina District of Paradis Island, fighting alongside Eren against Reiner but being at a disadvantage. He was then severely injured by Eren's Hardening Iron Fist. At this time, through contact with Eren, who possessed the power of the Founding Titan, he saw his brother's memories through the "Road" and learned the true reason why he failed to inherit the Armored Titan. He then chose to reconcile with Reiner and was devoured by the Falco Grice Titan in order to save Reiner from Falco Grice Glaice, who had been transformed into the Pure Titans by Zeke Yeager, and died.

One of the Eldian Titan warriors of Marley. He is the wielder of the Cart Titan.

Pieck Finger

Pieck is calm, resourceful, and possesses a strong ability to read the battlefield, which complements the support and coordination functions of the Cart Titan, making him the strategist in the warrior squad.

A warrior of Marley, currently the Cart Titan, who came to the walls with Zeke to support Reiner and others. He usually acts with Zeke and can maintain his Titan form for up to two months.

Edit

Pieck Finger

Initially considered an oddball by the Survey Corps, she was later confirmed to be an intelligent Titan. Her true identity is a woman younger than Zeke but older Reiner's generation of warriors. Due to her long period of Titan transformation, she is not used to walking on two legs. She calls Galiad "Poco". She has only one family member, her father, whom she volunteered to become a Marley warrior so that he could receive proper medical care.

During Willy Tybal's speech, he was led away by Yelena. Sensing something amiss, he secretly notified the Tank Squad, only to fall into a trap that imprisoned Eldian warriors. He was later rescued by the Tank Squad. In the battle, the Tank Squad was annihilated under the Survey Corps' attack, and the Cart Titan was severely injured and fell from a building. Just before being finished off by the Thunder Spear, Falco Grice withstand the attack with his bare body. The Thunder Spear Cart Titan also used its own steam to change the trajectory of the Thunder Spear, preventing it from hitting. The Cart Titan was then rescued by the Marleyan military. Chapter 110 of the manga shows Pieck infiltrating Paradis Island.

Disguised as a new recruit in the Survey Corps, she infiltrated the Corps headquarters and successfully reached Gabi's side just as Eren was about to interrogate Gabi. She then pretended to surrender to Eren and went to the building's rooftop to help point out the location of her comrades. However, this was all a trap set by Pieck. Marley's motorboat unit and the Jaw Titan suddenly appeared, and Eren engaged them in battle. She had already reunited with Gabi and Captain Magath, and transformed into the Cart Titan, donning the equipment of the Cart Titan unit to assist the Armored Titan, Jaw Titan, and Eren in their battle against the Titans.

In 850, he arrived at the walls of Paradis Island with the Beast Titan Zeke Jaeger to support the Armored Titan Reiner Braun and others. He usually acted with Zeke and could maintain his Titan form for up to two months. During the operation to retake Wall Maria, he served as a scout and assisted the Beast Titan in his attacks, rescuing the severely wounded Zeke and Reiner.

In 854, he participated in Marley's war against the Mid-East Allied Forces and the Survey Corps' battle against the Liberio Internment Zone. After the war, he went to Paradis Island to lie low and wait for an opportunity to seize Eren Yeager's Titan power. When Marley launched a major attack on Shiganshina District, he rescued Gabi Braun, who had been captured earlier, and reunited with Marley Field Fleet Admiral Dio Magath.

The original manga manuscript displayed at the "Attack Titan Final Manga" exhibition mentions her full name as Zofia Reich.

The name is based on Hanna Leitch, a famous female Luftwaffe pilot in Nazi Germany.

Armored Titan candidate for the Eldian Warrior unit of the Marleyan Imperial Military.

A candidate for the younger generation of Eldian warriors in Marley. In stark contrast to Kaya, she presents a calm and mature image, though sometimes her remarks are astonishing. She was a quiet and reserved girl who was crushed to death by a boulder during Eren and the Survey Corps' attack on the Liberio Internment Zone.

The silver-haired beauty with her hair tied in a ponytail, a fellow warrior candidate with Falco, Kaya, and Udo, had the best overall assessment results among the four.

In the animated version, she has khaki hair and blue eyes.

She lives with her mother in the Liberio Internment Zone, and the two have a good relationship. She is calm, brave, and taciturn, more mature than the other three candidates. She does not react to any situation and remains calm in the face of adversity. However, she sometimes makes statements that leave people dumbfounded and often criticizes others.

Although seemingly aloof, she is very concerned about her comrades. During the Mid-East Allied Forces war, she helped bandage the wounded Falco Grice and encouraged him after Gabi Falco Grice a long-distance race. She first appeared in the war between Marley and the Mid-East Allied Forces.

Later, at a banquet on the eve of Willy Tybur's speech, he served as a waiter and speculated on the reason after Kiyomi Azumabito covered for Udo to avoid punishment.

The following day, he attended the festival with Falco Grice, Gabi, and Udo, and in the evening listened to Willy Tybur's speech, learning about the history from a hundred years ago.

When Eren transformed into a Titan, Zofia was struck by flying rocks and died instantly. Udo tried to pull his body out, but it was trampled to death by the crowd who were trying to escape.

The shock of her death also intensified Gabi's hatred for the people on the island.

He appears in chapter 91 of the manga and episode 60 of the anime. He was a candidate for the Armored Titan in the Eldian Warrior unit of the Marleyan Imperial Military. Wearing glasses, he appeared intellectual at first glance, but contrary to this, he was easily agitated and prone to violence. He had experience living in an internment camp outside of Marley and could understand other languages. After Eren's Titan form appeared, he tried to help Sofia, who had been killed by falling rocks, but was instead knocked down by fleeing festival spectators and trampled to death.

He once lived in Eldians internment area in a certain country, but his family moved to Marley due to political factors. He settled in the Liberio Internment Zone. He once told Gabi and others that other countries discriminated against Eldians more severely than Marley.

After arriving in Marley, he joined the Eldian Warrior unit of the Marleyan Imperial Military as a warrior candidate. He participated in the battle to capture the Slava Fortress during the war between Marley and the Mid-East Allied Forces, and returned home after the war.

Later, at a banquet on the eve of Willy Deba's speech, he served as a waiter. During the banquet, he became agitated after hearing the words of various political figures criticizing the Eldians, and accidentally spilled red wine on the ambassador of the Hizuru Kiyomi Azumabito. He escaped punishment because Kiyomi Azumabito helped him cover it up.

The next day, he attended the festival with Falco Grice, Gabi, Sofia, and Reiner, and listened to Willy's speech in the evening, learning about the history from a hundred years ago.

When Eren Yeager transformed into a Titan, killing and devouring Willy, he was knocked down by flying debris and lost his glasses. Despite his impaired vision, he still tried to pull Sofia, who had been crushed to death by a boulder, out of the way, but was trampled and severely injured by the fleeing crowd. Although Colt Grice and Gabi immediately took him to a doctor, the doctor determined he was dead after a triage, and Colt Grice eventually placed his body on the grass outside the hospital to await burial.

A candidate for the next generation of Eldian warriors in Marley. During the Battle of Slava Fortress, he single-handedly destroyed a Middle Eastern United Nations armored train equipped with "Anti-Titan Cannons." He was subsequently regarded as a hero among the Marleyan Eldians. He received Marleyan education from a young age and was highly motivated, hoping to be chosen to inherit Reiner's "Armored Titan." He was exceptionally strong among his peers and possessed extremely high marksmanship.

As Operation Liberio drew to a close, he seized the opportunity to board the Survey Corps' evacuation airship and shot Sasha Braus with a Marley standard-issue rifle. He then fled to Paradis Island via airship, escaped from prison, and, accompanied by his companion Falco, engaged in a series of unexpected encounters with the Braus family. He used the anti-Titan rifle to blow Eren Yeager's head off, indirectly accelerating the activation of the Coordinate power, which then began the Rumbling.

As of chapter 132 of the manga, he belongs to the Saviors Squad and, along with Falco, was entrusted to Annie Leonard for care.

In chapter 138, he inhaled the poisonous gas released by the Hallucigenia, the source of the Titans' power, and transformed into Pure Titans.

In chapter 139, he reverts to being human again after his Titan powers disappear.
