The Truth of the World, Royal Blood, and the Basement Revelation
29. The Uprising Begins: The Enemy Is the Government
After the chaos caused by Annie, Reiner, and Bertholdt, the Scouts realize something horrifying:
The government has known far more than it admits.
Evidence:
- Wall Titans are hidden
- The royal family suppresses information
- The Military Police silence whistleblowers
- Records of history are missing
Commander Erwin concludes:
“The enemy isn’t just outside the walls… it’s inside.”
30. Kidnapping Eren and Historia: Royal Blood Matters
Eren and Historia are suddenly targeted.
Why Historia?
- She is the true heir to the royal family
- Her existence was hidden
- She was raised under a false identity
Why Eren?
- He possesses the Founding Titan
- A power linked to controlling all Titans
This confirms: ➡️ Royal blood + Founding Titan = absolute power
31. The Fake King and the Real Rulers
The king on the throne is revealed to be a puppet.
The true rulers:
- The Reiss family, descendants of the original king
- They hide behind the throne
- They erase memories using Titan powers
This explains why:
- Citizens forgot the outside world
- Humanity accepted life inside the walls
- No one questioned the walls’ origin
Memory manipulation is the ultimate form of control.
32. Erwin’s Gamble: Overthrowing the Government
Erwin launches a coup.
He risks everything:
- His career
- His soldiers’ lives
- His own reputation
The Scouts expose government corruption publicly.
When the truth comes out:
- The fake king is removed
- The real royal family is exposed
- The people side with the Scouts
This is humanity’s first real victory — not against Titans, but against lies.
33. Historia Reiss: From Background Character to Queen
Historia’s arc is one of the most powerful in the series.
She rejects:
- being a puppet
- sacrificing herself
- repeating the cycle of lies
She declares:
“I’m humanity’s enemy.”
By choosing to become queen:
- She breaks the Reiss family’s curse
- She ends memory manipulation
- She rules honestly
Historia represents choice over destiny.
34. The Truth of the Founding Titan
The Founding Titan has godlike abilities:
- control Titans
- alter memories
- reshape bodies
- command the walls
But there’s a catch: ➡️ Only those with royal blood can fully use it.
Eren has the power — but not the blood.
This creates a terrifying dilemma:
- Should Historia be turned into a Titan?
- Should Eren be sacrificed?
The Scouts refuse to repeat old sins.
35. Grisha Yeager’s Basement: The Truth Awaits
At last, the Scouts launch a mission to:
➡️ Reclaim Wall Maria
➡️ Reach the basement
But Marley’s warriors return.
36. The Battle of Shiganshina: Humanity’s Most Brutal Fight
This battle is one of anime’s greatest war arcs.
Enemies:
- Armored Titan (Reiner)
- Colossal Titan (Bertholdt)
- Beast Titan (Zeke Yeager)
The Scouts face near-total annihilation.
37. Erwin Smith’s Final Charge
Facing impossible odds, Erwin makes his last decision.
He sacrifices:
- himself
- nearly every Scout
Their charge distracts the Beast Titan.
Erwin dies smiling — still chasing truth.
This moment defines Attack on Titan:
Victory is built on corpses.
38. Levi vs the Beast Titan
Levi unleashes hell.
In one of the most iconic fights:
- He dismantles Zeke effortlessly
- Demonstrates why he is humanity’s strongest
But victory slips away.
39. The Colossal Titan Falls
Armin sacrifices himself:
- Burns alive
- Clings to Bertholdt
- Allows Eren to land the killing blow
Armin dies… or so it seems.
40. The Choice: Armin or Erwin
Only one life can be saved with the Titan serum.
This choice splits the group:
- Erwin: the leader
- Armin: the dreamer
Levi chooses Armin.
This decision changes the future of the world.
41. The Basement Is Opened
At last, the basement is reached.
Inside are:
- books
- photographs
- scientific knowledge
The truth is revealed:
Humanity was never wiped out.
The world outside the walls exists.
42. The Truth of the World: Marley and Eldia
The people inside the walls are: ➡️ Eldians
They are hated by the world.
Titans are: ➡️ A weapon created using Eldian bodies.
The outside world:
- Feared Eldians
- Enslaved them
- Used Titans in war
This revelation redefines everything.
43. Grisha Yeager’s Past
Grisha was:
- a revolutionary
- part of the Eldian Restorationists
- manipulated by his own son (future Eren)
He stole the Founding Titan to save Eldia.
Eren inherits:
- the Attack Titan
- the Founding Titan
- the burden of history
44. The Sea: Freedom or Another Cage?
The Scouts reach the ocean.
Everyone is happy… except Eren.
Eren asks:
“If we kill everyone across the sea… will we be free?”
This line foreshadows the end.
45. Themes Deepened in Part 3
Attack on Titan now explores:
- nationalism
- inherited hatred
- cycles of violence
- moral responsibility
- freedom through destruction
Heroes and villains blur completely.
46. The Marley Arc: The World Outside the Walls
For the first time, the story shifts perspective.
We see Marley, the global superpower that:
- defeated Eldia
- uses Titans as weapons
- controls the world through fear
Eldians in Marley are:
- forced to live in ghettos
- wear armbands
- treated as devils
- turned into Titans as punishment
This mirrors real-world oppression and genocide.
47. Warrior Children: Victims Turned Weapons
Marley trains Eldian children to become Warriors.
Reiner, Annie, Bertholdt, Pieck, and Zeke were:
- brainwashed
- promised honor
- used as disposable soldiers
They were sent to Paradis to: ➡️ Steal the Founding Titan.
This reframes earlier villains as victims of propaganda.
48. Eren’s Infiltration of Marley
Eren secretly enters Marley.
He:
- amputates his own leg
- blinds himself
- lives among enemy soldiers
He listens to their stories.
And realizes:
“They are the same as us.”
But instead of stopping…
he moves forward anyway.
49. Declaration of War
At a global festival, Willy Tybur reveals:
- the truth of Eldia
- the danger of Eren
Eren responds by:
➡️ Transforming into a Titan
➡️ Killing civilians
➡️ Killing Willy
Eren becomes the world’s enemy.
50. Eren Yeager Becomes the Villain
From this point:
- Eren manipulates allies
- Lies to friends
- Abandons Mikasa and Armin
- Embraces hatred
But his goal is not conquest.
His goal is: ➡️ Absolute freedom for Paradis
No matter the cost.
51. The Truth of the Attack Titan
The Attack Titan’s true power is revealed: ➡️ It can see memories from the future.
Eren:
- influences his father
- manipulates history
- ensures his own birth and choices
Time in Attack on Titan is a closed loop.
Eren was always moving toward this outcome.
52. Zeke’s Plan vs Eren’s Plan
Zeke believes:
- Eldians should peacefully go extinct
Eren believes:
- the world will never stop hating Eldians
So Eren chooses: ➡️ The Rumbling.
53. The Rumbling Begins
Using the Founding Titan, Eren:
- unleashes millions of Colossal Titans
- destroys cities
- wipes out 80% of humanity
This is genocide.
Eren knows it.
He does it anyway.
54. The Alliance Forms
Former enemies unite:
- Mikasa
- Armin
- Reiner
- Annie
- Pieck
- Levi
Their goal: ➡️ Stop Eren.
Not to save the world —
but to save what remains of humanity.
55. Mikasa and Eren: Love vs Freedom
Eren’s final test is personal.
Mikasa must:
- choose humanity over love
- kill the person she loves most
This mirrors Ymir’s ancient tragedy.
56. The Death of Eren Yeager
Mikasa kills Eren.
His death:
- ends the Titans
- frees Ymir
- breaks the curse
The world is saved… partially.
57. The Ending Explained: Was Eren Right or Wrong?
Eren:
- became a monster
- so his friends could live as heroes
But the cycle of hatred does not end.
War continues.
Freedom has a cost.
58. Final Themes of Attack on Titan
The story ultimately asks:
- Is freedom worth genocide?
- Can hatred ever truly end?
- Are humans trapped by history?
There are no clean answers.
59. Final Conclusion: What Attack on Titan Is Truly About
Attack on Titan is a tragedy about:
- freedom
- fear
- inherited hatred
- the lies we tell to survive
- and the terrible cost of choice
Eren Yeager was not a hero.
He was not a villain.
He was a human who chose freedom —
and paid for it with everything.
