The story resumes in Marley, the most powerful country in the world and the source of the titans that have been terrorizing our heroes for the last 3 seasons. Let's delve into the outside world and see the reasons for their actions. The narrative begins by following Gabby and Falco, a pair of young Eldians who are being trained to inherit certain titans. Though both are members of a hated minority - eerily treated like Jews in 1930s Germany, they are given citizenship thanks to their unique position. Only Eldians can transform into Titans, making them both a boon to the army and yet a feared outsider. They view the Eldian colony of the first 3 seasons as a source of dread that should be purged lest the Eldian Empire that terrorized the world for millennia should arise again. Of course, Eren hasn't been idle. He bursts on the scene in Marley to get some payback for the long years of Titan attacks on his homeland. Through this attack, Eren has justified the fears of the Marleyans and assured a clash. Returning home with Gabby and Falco as captives as well as securing more Titans, Eren and his allies consider how to prevent or win the coming war. Of course, Eren already has plans that he has kept from even his closest allies: Mikasa and Armin.
A strong conclusion for the series, it is far from a happy ending. The Apocalypse - called the Rumbling - sweeps the world and sacrifices - lots of sacrifices - must be made in order to save humanity from extinction. Not quite the satisfying conclusion one might have expected.
