The others attempt to help, however, Reiner continues throwing Titans at the soldiers while Ymir is unsure on which side to take. Meanwhile, Erwin finds himself on his knees, with the soldiers around him dying as the Armored Titan finally reaches them.

At the same time, Eren and Mikasa witness Hannes being devoured by his foe. Eren despairs, still finding himself to be useless as in his mother's case, but Mikasa claims otherwise, thanking him for teaching her how to live and giving her the red scarf. Eren gets up in order to defend her with his bare fists, but suddenly, all of the other Titans charge at the Smiling Titan, devouring it. This worries Reiner and his companions, however, Eren warns them not to come close, just as the Titans attack the Armored Titan. The soldiers begin their retreat, but Ymir decides to help Reiner and Bertolt, much to everyone's surprise. As they return to the walls, Eren, Mikasa and Armin recall their time with Hannes.

Summary
As the Smiling Titan approaches Eren and Mikasa, he remembers the time when his mother was yelling at him because he always got himself into trouble and Mikasa always had to save him. Eren then remembers when the Smiling Titan cruelly devoured his mother. Mikasa tries to protect Eren as the Smiling Titan attempts to reach them. They suddenly realize that Hannes has come to the rescue, and he's eager to fight the Titan. Mikasa wants to help Hannes defeating the Smiling Titan but then Eren says that she can't fight with her injuries and asks her to untie his hands.

Meanwhile, Armin and Jean are heading to help them, but are suddenly stopped by the Titans being thrown at them by the Armored Titan. Ymir is hesitating to cooperate with the Survey Corps while saving Erwin from the attacking Titans, seeing that Reiner's power is far beyond humanity's. Seeing Ymir confused, Historia jumps to Ymir's head. Historia then asks Ymir about her reason she gave of wanting to save herself, she then asks again if she's being protected again by her. Historia then asks Ymir to stop living for other people's sake and start to live for the sake of themselves. As Erwin is laying on the ground, they realize that the Armored Titan has again started charging towards them, and throwing another Titan, he knocks Jean off his horse.

Eren and Mikasa witness in horror how Hannes is being devoured by the Smiling Titan, which causes them both to break down: Eren cries out of frustration seeing that he's being useless, but Mikasa thanks him for giving her the will to live and for giving her his scarf. Eren realizes his hands have completely healed and stands up, trying to fight the Titan with his bare fists. His rage suddenly awakens a new ability and nearby Titans come to rescue him and attack the Smiling Titan, devouring it. This allows Eren to escape while carrying Mikasa on his back.

As Reiner sees that Eren gets 'The Coordinate', he tries to go after him to catch him once again, thinking that the worst possible person to have 'The Coordinate' is Eren, but Eren yells at him not to come close or he'll kill him, which orders all Titans to attack him. As the Armored Titan is surrounded, Erwin orders everyone to seize the opportunity and escape. Ymir suddenly stops and bids Historia farewell, before rejoining with Reiner and Bertolt. As they return to the safety of the Walls, Eren, Mikasa and Armin remember times of their childhood they spent with Hannes.

That night, Reiner, Bertolt and Ymir arrive at Shiganshina and rest on top of the Wall. Reiner asks Ymir why did she decide to help them in the last battle, wasting her opportunity to escape with the Survey Corps and avoid punishment when they take her to their home village. She, however, claims she's too tired to escape now and mentions Reiner and Bertolt that they cannot return home empty-handed. As Bertolt thanks her for saving him, Ymir notes that "it's not bad to play goddess".
