Story
Royal Government arc
During the feast before the expedition to Shiganshina District, Gordon accompanies Floch Forster as he rhetorically asks Jean Kirstein if 104th recruits and former Garrison members such as himself and his friends are that unreliable.[2]
Return to Shiganshina arc
Gordon is seen cowering with Floch and Sandra after learning that all of the Survey Corps' veterans have been killed. He and his fellow recruits are brought to attention by Erwin, who announces his plan to lead a suicide charge against the Beast Titan. Despite Gordon's horror at the idea, he accompanies his fellow soldiers in the attack.[3] He, alongside many of his fellow soldiers, is killed during the charge by the Beast Titan's projectiles.[4]
