However, it has been noted that all the ships sent to Paradis Island over the past four years have gone missing, preventing them from proceeding further . Meanwhile, a dispute has erupted among the young soldiers about who will inherit the Armored Titan power, with Gabi Braun and Falco Grice at the forefront of the dispute .

One of the Tyburs, Willy, now secretly controls the Marleyan government . Reiner recalls his past as a Warrior and the events that occurred during his mission in Paradis Island . He had been the worst - performing of the candidates and was considered unlikely to inherit a Titan, but to his surprise was selected as the Armored Titan . Upon arriving on Paradis Island, however, he discovered that one of his fellow candidates, Marcel Galliard, had sabotaged the selection so that his brother Porco would not be chosen, and thus Reiner was sent instead . The Warriors considered retreating after Marcel was eaten by a mindless Titan (which then became Ymir, who has since been eaten by Porco, granting him the power of the Jaw Titan), but Reiner forced them to continue out of fear, insisting that he would take on Marcel's role as leader . They destroyed Wall Maria and infiltrated the military, leading to the events of the four years prior . Overcome by these memories, Reiner prepares to commit suicide but stops at the last moment . Willy Tybur organizes a festival to be held in the Eldian ghetto where he plans to rally the support of other world leaders in declaring war upon Paradis Island, all the while knowing he may be assassinated and intending to thereby become a martyr for this cause .

The rest of the Paradis Island soldiers berate Eren over Sasha's death, revealing that this attack was forced to occur due to Eren acting independently of their plans, but Zeke points out that Eren has successfully achieved their common goal of uniting the Founding Titan and a Titan of royal blood .
