Colt informs Magath that the soldiers will not have the power to destroy the fort's rail tracks, and that if they do not move soon, they will be wiped out by artillery fire. When Magath asks if he has an idea, Colt suggests releasing their two Warriors [[Porco Galliard]] and [[Pieck]], the [[Jaw Titan]] and [[Cart Titan]] respectively. Magath rejects the idea, not willing to risk using two Warriors yet. As the two are discussing, [[Koslow|another soldier]] informs them that the fort is bringing out the Mid-East Allied Forces's new weapon mounted on an armored train: the [[anti-Titan artillery]], a 100mm-shell cannon that can kill any Titan, including one of the nine original Titans, with one shot. Colt argues that Galliard and Pieck's Titans are fast enough to evade any shots. Magath, unwilling to risk losing more Titans after the loss of the [[Colossus Titan|Colossus]] and the [[Female Titan|Female]], orders the soldiers to prepare to fight. Colt tries to protest, but Magath stops him, reminding him that he will need to change his attitude if he hopes to inherit the [[Beast Titan]].

As the armored train begins to move closer to their position, Gabi asks Magath to allow her to destroy the artillery herself. Although Magath is reluctant, Gabi convinces him to allow her to try her plan, if it will prevent the loss of hundreds of troops.

Overview

Four years after the battle of Shiganshina District, the Warriors of Marley besiege Fort Slava of the Mid-East Allied Forces. Falco, a Warrior candidate, is saved by his brother Colt who returns him to the trenches nearby. As his comrades patch Falco up and remind him of their goal in the battle, Colt reports the situation to Marleyan Commander Magath. He suggests sending their Titans Porco Galliard and Pieck to attack, but the presence of the anti-Titan artillery prevents this strategy.

Candidate Gabi offers to destroy the armored train carrying the artillery, and the commander reluctantly agrees. Gabi approaches the bunker in plainclothes while secretly carrying a bundle of grenades. When the train approaches, she collapses to the ground and throws the bombs on the tracks, putting the weapon out of commission. As she returns to the trenches, Galliard transforms into his Titan and shields the Warrior candidates from machine gun fire before charging the bunkers and wiping out the Allies' defenses.

Summary

Trivia

Isayama's initial sketch of Gabi

Isayama's initial sketch of Gabi

  • This is the first chapter to contain no dialogue from any previously established characters.
  • Gabi's design and name were revealed by Isayama a few days before the release of this chapter when he posted a sketch he drew while watching UFC to his blog.[1]
  • This chapter contains an inconsistency in which Eldians sometimes have a badge with the Eldian star on it on their shirt collar and sometimes do not. There is also an inconsistency in which Magath is drawn wearing a black clip in place of the Eldian badge in some panels, and is wearing the Eldian badge in others. No comment has been made about this mix up yet.
