The 57th Exterior Scouting Mission arc
As veteran soldiers of the Scout Regiment since before the fall of Wall Maria, several members of the Fourth Section partake in Commander Erwin Smith's plan to capture the Female Titan in the Forest of Giant Trees during the 57th Exterior Scouting Mission. When the Female is captured, Captain Levi and Section Commander Miche Zacharius are unsuccessful in their attempts to sever its limbs. Keiji is summoned by Commander Erwin, the latter orders for explosives to be brought out to dismember the Female Titan's hands. Before they can make further attempts, the Female Titan calls all nearby Titans towards her. Abel prepares to combat the Titans as they approach, only to find that the Titans are ignoring them in favor of reaching the Female. At Erwin's command, the veterans attack the Titans devouring the Female Titan until Erwin orders for their forces to retreat to Calaneth District.

Some days later, Fourth Section participate in the Assault on Stohess to capture Annie Leonhart. When the initial capture plan fails and the Female Titan transforms in the city, it is led to another trap set by Section Commander Hange Zoë and Moblit, who fire the special target restraining weapon and trap it again. Hange then threatens the Titan, right before it breaks free and the pursuit continues. The pursuit is cut short when the Female Titan runs into an open area where they cannot maneuver in their equipment. As the Female Titan overpowers Eren's Titan, they advance in an attempt to cut off the Female's escape, though it outpaces them and begins to climb Wall Sina.
