Having recovered Eren and discovering he has the power to control Titans, the Scouts find that they have run afoul of the government. The king wants Eren delivered up to him. In fact, while bringing Eren back in secret, a new band of elite warriors - armed with gear designed to fight humans rather than titans - ambushes the Scouts. Rather than fight the external threat of titans, a power struggle between human factions risks the survival of humanity. What do the elites know about titans that the Scouts clearly don't know. Why is Kenny the Ripper, a notorious murderer, leading the elite band of warriors for the nobility and why does Levi know so much about him?
The series provides lots of backstories for many of the characters and offers many explanations for past events. Secrets are revealed about the royal family, Eren's father and mother, Mikasa's bloodline, Levi's childhood, Historia's ancestry, and Commander Erwin Smith's background. The politics of the world take center stage rather than the ongoing battle against the titan threat.
This series keeps expanding its scope and getting more interesting. Eager to see what comes next.
