On the 104th Trainees Squad's last night together as trainees, a fight between Eren Yeager and Jean Kirstein breaks out. As the fight picks up, Mikasa Ackerman stops it by carrying Eren out of the mess hall. Franz also blocks Jean's path, nervously convincing him that the fight was over. Later that night, Eren passes out while trying to remember his father. Franz, with Armin Arlert and Bertolt Hoover's help, carry Eren back to his bed. He is visually worried after Eren awakes from a terrible nightmare.

The next day, Franz is walking through Trost District with Hannah and Eren. He and Hannah begin chatting, optimistic that things are looking up for humanity. Angered, Eren begins yelling at them, calling them a couple, which they both embarrassingly deny.
