Centuries ago, humanity was driven nearly to extinction by colossal, humanoid monsters known as Titans, forcing the survivors to cower behind enormous concentric walls. The true horror of these giants lies in their consumption of human flesh, which seems motivated not by hunger but by pleasure. To ensure their survival, the remnants of humanity lived within these defensive barriers, enjoying a hundred years without a single Titan encounter. But that fragile peace is shattered when a Colossal Titan breaches the supposedly impregnable outer wall, reigniting the desperate fight for survival against the man-eating abominations. After suffering a devastating personal loss at the hands of the invading creatures, Eren Yeager dedicates his life to their eradication by joining the Survey Corps, an elite military unit that battles the merciless humanoids beyond the walls. Alongside his adopted sister Mikasa Ackerman and childhood friend Armin Arlert, Eren enters the brutal war against the Titans, racing to find a way to defeat them before the last walls fall.

For many generations, humanity has been pursued by enormous, enigmatic predators called the Titans. Three massive walls—Wall Maria, Rose, and Sheena—offered safety and tranquility for over a century. That calm was broken when the Colossal Titan and Armored Titan appeared and demolished the outermost wall, Wall Maria. Forced to withdraw behind Wall Rose, humanity waited anxiously for the Titans to strike again and ruin their final refuge. In Shingeki no Kyojin Season 2, Eren Yeager and his comrades from the 104th Training Corps have only recently started serving as full members of the Survey Corps. As they prepare to confront the Titans once more, their plans are interrupted by an invasion of Wall Rose—yet nothing is as straightforward as it appears, and additional enigmas come to light. While the Survey Corps races to protect the wall, they learn more about the attacking Titans and the hidden truths concerning their own ranks.

Humanity remains trapped behind the two surviving walls, still endangered by the Titans that steal their freedom. The fight to eliminate these monsters continues, but dangers come not only from the Titans outside the walls but also from the people inside them. Following his rescue from the Colossal Titan and Armored Titan, Eren Yaeger focuses on mastering his Titan shifting ability. Krista Lenz deals with the pain of losing a comrade, Captain Levi selects Eren along with his friends to be part of his new personal squad, and Commander Erwin Smith recovers from wounds he received. For a time, the soldiers seem to be doing well—until the government suddenly demands that Eren and Krista be handed over. The Survey Corps' recent victories have attracted unwanted notice, and a figure from Levi's past is dispatched to retrieve the two wanted individuals. Hunted by the authorities, Levi and his squad must avoid their enemies to protect Eren and Krista. Eren and his comrades fight not only for survival against the fearsome Titans but also against the menace of a far more cunning adversary: other humans.

In an effort to restore the fading hope of humanity, the Survey Corps launch an operation to reclaim Wall Maria, where the fight against the ruthless Titans resumes. Returning to the ruined Shiganshina District, once his childhood home, Eren Yeager and his comrades find the area strangely devoid of Titans. Even after sealing the outer gate, they face no opposition. The mission proceeds smoothly until Armin Arlert, deeply suspicious of the enemy's absence, notices troubling hints of a hidden trap.

Alongside him, the Survey Corps push forward—through countless sacrifices—to carve a path to victory and unlock the secrets hidden in the Yeager family basement.
