In a Vast and Boundless World
In this vast and boundless world, giants reign supreme, trampling upon the fragile lives of humanity. Faced with such a terrifying threat, humans, destined to become food for the giants, were forced to take extreme measures—expending countless efforts and resources to build a towering, 50-meter-high wall. This magnificent barrier, while offering humanity a brief respite, also meant that they had to relinquish their precious freedom, cowering within the wall to defend against the onslaught of the ferocious giants outside.
Ten-year-old Eren Yeager harbored a burning passion within him, yearning to break through the high walls that bound him to freedom and witness the mysterious, unknown world beyond. However, those around him were complacent, content with their fleeting and fragile peace, having long forgotten the vast world beyond the walls, even fearing to step outside. Eren felt he couldn't fit in with these cowardly, self-imposed prisons, and ruthlessly dismissed them as "livestock." Similarly, those basking in their comfortable lives viewed Eren as an anomaly, finding his ideas absurd and heretical.
In this delicate and contradictory atmosphere, a sudden upheaval completely shattered the original balance. A Colossal Titan, capable of easily crossing the walls, appeared out of nowhere, its massive, mountain-like body ruthlessly destroying the defenses upon which humanity depended for survival. In an instant, Eren's "dream" and the "peace" that everyone had painstakingly maintained shattered like Illusion beneath the Colossal Titan's feet.
This is a world ruled by giants. Humans, who became food for the giants, built a massive wall 50 meters high, sacrificing their freedom to prevent the giants from invading from outside.
Ten-year-old Eren Yeager dreams of seeing the unknown world beyond the walls. Eren feels out of place with those who are content with temporary peace and give up going out. Eren calls them "livestock." They consider Eren an "outsider."
However, with the appearance of the Colossal Titan, which can cross walls, Eren's "dream" and people's "peace" crumbled instantly.
Ever since the day humanity's peace and dreams were shattered by the Colossal Titan, Eren Yeager has been engaged in an endless battle every day.
Having witnessed his helpless mother being devoured by a Titan, Eren vowed to drive every single Titan out of the world.
However, in the fierce battle, Eren himself was transformed into a Titan.
For the sake of humanity's freedom, Eren unleashed the power of the Titans and engaged in a fierce battle with the Female Titan in the Stohess District of Wall Shina. In this battle between Titans, Eren ultimately emerged victorious.
Even so, Eren and humanity's time to rest will not come. The next round of battle has already begun. How will humanity face the massive horde of Titans approaching Wall Rose?
A wall that has stood for centuries, separating humanity from the outside world. It is said that on the other side of that wall lies a world never before seen. Water of fire, land of ice, snowfields of sand... The book is filled with words that inspire the curiosity of young people.
As time passed, the walls were now destroyed by the giants, and humanity Shoichi approaching the truth of the world.
What is the true identity of the Titans? Why are Titans buried in the walls? What is the "Coordinate" power possessed by Eren Yeager in his Titan form? And what exactly does Historia Reiss know about this world?
With the addition of Eren and other 104th Generation soldiers, the new Levi Squad was formed. Upon commencing operations, they faced their strongest and most formidable enemy.
The great secret that humanity has long hidden within the walls is--
Although the Survey Corps got one step closer to the truth, they were branded as rebels due to the Royal Government at the time.
However, humans are not merely domesticated animals.
Erwin Smith's unwavering pursuit of the truth moved the Military Police Brigade, ultimately leading to a coup against the existing system.
The false king who had been deceiving the people was deposed, and Historia Reiss, who inherited the true royal bloodline, ascended the throne. Under the leadership of the brave queen who personally fought against the giants, humanity ushered in a new era.
Eren Yeager gained the ability to Hardening and, as a result, created new anti-Titan weapons.
Humanity, having steadily and smoothly prepared for the rebellion, resolutely launched an operation to reclaim Wall Maria in pursuit of its long-cherished wish.
This is the ultimate battle where humanity and the Titans stake their survival. Before that, what will Eren and humanity ultimately gain?
"This giant, regardless of the era, will relentlessly advance in pursuit of freedom, fighting for freedom. Its name is— Attack Titan."
Finally, the truth about what lies beyond the wall and the true face of the giants were revealed. Humanity has paid a heavy price so far. Nevertheless, they must continue forward, for they have yet to see the sea beyond the wall, the symbol of freedom.
Time flies, and six years have passed since the first attack by the Colossal Titan. The Survey Corps resolutely launched an investigation outside Wall Maria. "On the other side of the wall is the sea, and on the other side of the sea is freedom. I have always believed that..." For the first time, the humans inside the wall reached the sea.
At the end of the infinitely extending horizon lies freedom, or...? Eren Yeager's story is about to enter a new phase.
Throughout history, we have been constantly striving for freedom and fighting for it.
In episode 25 of the anime, Eren transforms into the Attack Titan and fights the Female Titan. After being defeated by the Female Titan, he transforms into a mysterious form.
According to chapter 88 of the manga, the Attack Titan is described as. "A Titan that constantly strives for freedom in any era, fighting for freedom." Since the existence of the Nine Titans, the Attack Titan has been fighting for freedom. During the Great Titan War more than a hundred years ago, the Attack Titan mysteriously disappeared and its whereabouts were unknown until it reappeared in the public eye in 850.
According to chapter 121 of the manga, the Attack Titan's special ability is to observe the memories of each past and future host, allowing it to indirectly observe the future through the memories inherited by its successor. The Attack Titan can not only see the memories of its predecessors but also directly influence their decisions and actions, and can use this to interfere with the past to change the present. How much of the future it can see and when it can see it depends on the will of the future host. Therefore, it is not controlled by the Founding Titan is influenced by it. This is why the Attack Titan is called "Towards Freedom."
Influenced by Eren's memories, "Owl" instructed Grisha Yeager to rebuild his family inside the walls when he injected the Giant Drug into him. Grisha Yeager, in turn, was influenced by Eren and rose up to kill all of Reiss's family members except for Road Reiss. However, he also told Zeke Yeager to stop Eren by observing his memories of the future.
It has a long-standing hostile relationship with the Eldia, especially with its territory on the Paradis Island.
Marley's historical records state that Marley was once a powerful nation. However, approximately 1820 years ago, it was destroyed by Eldia, who possessed the power of the Titans. One hundred years ago, it successfully re-established itself, seizing Eldia's Titan power and establishing Titan colonies over other countries, occupying vast territories. However, Marley's leadership's over-reliance on the Titan power caused its technology to gradually lag behind other nations. Furthermore, the excessive use of Titan power led to serious animosity with other countries. The name Marley is derived from the word 'ocean,' as the Latin word for Marley symbolizes the sea.
Marley is a powerful militaristic superpower in the world of Attack Titan, and also an ancient nation with a long history. Before the Great Titan War, it was invaded and destroyed by the Eldian Empire, and the people of Marley endured approximately 1700 years of war. After this, the 145th Eldian King, Caius Fritz, grew weary of the war and forcibly ended the Great Titan War by activating the Rose Fritz Rumbling. He then led a portion of Subjects of Ymir to Paradis Island, where he established a "Paradise" and transformed some of Subjects of Ymir into Colossal Titan, building three high walls. These three walls were named after the three daughters of the first King Fritz: Maria, Rose, and Sina. He also signed a Shina -aggression pact with the Founding Titan and used its Founding Titan to steal the memories of all Ymir's people, isolating Paradis Island from the world. Meanwhile, Marley, led by the Tybur Family, brought the other seven Titans under its control.
Over the next century, Marley, led by the Tybur Family, brought the other seven Titans under its control and, in turn, used their power to pursue a policy of continuous expansion, putting them at odds with most of the world's nations. Domestically, they rewrote textbooks and history, indoctrinating Marley and Eldians with the idea that "Eldians are descendants of demons, offspring of sinners." They also implemented a policy of oppression against the Eldians they viewed as weapons, concentrating Eldians in the Liberio Internment Zone for enslavement and sending "guilty" Eldians to the battlefield, arbitrarily transforming Eldians into Pure Titans for use against enemies. Those Eldians committed crimes were taken to Paradis Island, injected with drugs to transform them into Pure Titans, and exiled.
Due to its over-reliance on the power of the Titans and its rampant invasions of various countries, Marley's technological development lagged behind other nations. Upon discovering the potential and trend of the future petrochemical fuel "Iceburst Stone," Marley dispatched four children—each inheriting one of the Colossal Titan, Armored Titan, Female Titan, and Jaw Titan —to Paradis Island to seize the Founding Titan. They were defeated in the Battle of Wall Maria, losing the Colossal Titan and Female Titan on Paradis Island. During this period, Marley waged a four-year war against the Middle Eastern Allied Forces, with whom it had always been at odds (the war would have been shorter had the Colossal Titan and Female Titan remained in the ranks). Although Marley won this battle, it made the world realize that the Age of Titans had passed. At the same time, Marley's position in the world was already precarious.
In Marley, Eldians were considered "descendants of demons," living like slaves within the government-mandated Liberio Internment Zone, unable to leave freely (effectively, to leave the walls, which required official government documentation). As Eldians, they were required to wear an armband on their left arm within Marley to distinguish themselves from Eldians Marleyans. Ironically, the hero Helos, who defeated the Founding Titan with a human body, is fictional; it was the Eldians within the Liberio Internment Zone and the walls of Paradis Island who truly killed the Marley Titan Warrior Unit with human bodies.
The Marleyan Empire is largely composed of Marley and Eldians from minority groups (Anti-Marleyan Volunteers). Its army comprises 50 divisions with a standing force of one million men. The navy has a main fleet of 21 warships, forming three main fleets. Air power is a key area of development for Marley, with several military airships. They possess extensive Titan science and utilize it on a large scale, making the Marleyan Imperial Military virtually invincible for the past century thanks to the power of the Titans. The Eldian Warrior unit are the main force behind Marley's expansion, but most Marleyans within the army remain hostile to the Eldians.
Before 1840
It was destroyed by the Eldian Empire during the Great Battle of Titans.
About 100 years ago, they used a counter-espionage plot to trigger the Eldian Civil War and seized seven of the Nine Titans. However, the Founding Titan, the most powerful of the Titans, remained in the hands of the King Fritz of the Eldian Empire. Marley successfully annexed the continent during the Second Titan War.
