Attack on Titan Season 4 Part 1

Kruger, the wounded Eldian soldier, asks Falco to post letters for him from outside the internment zone. Willy Tybur, the head of the Tybur family who possess the War Hammer Titan, meets with Commander Theo Magath. They form an alliance to stop the warmongering and restore the balance between Eldia and Marley. Back at the hospital, the patient Mr. Jaeger, Grisha's father, approaches Kruger and asks him to avoid using Falco for his schemes and to return to his family. Willy invites the dignitaries present to a theatrical play to be performed after the festival in Liberio. Both Warriors and Candidates enjoy the festival the day it arrives. Later that day, they all head towards the plaza for Willy's play. In a post-credits scene, right before the presentation begins, Falco takes Reiner to a basement below the stage where he meets Kruger. Much to his shock, Reiner immediately recognizes him as Eren Jaeger, who greets Reiner, stating that four years have passed s

Reiner thinks about his past and a conversation he had with his mother on the curse of being an Eldian. He entered the military training program where selected candidates were chosen to become Titans. Porco was devastated when Reiner was chosen to be the Armored Titan. Commander Magath then sent Annie Leonhart, Bertholdt Hoover, Reiner, and Marcel Galliard on a mission to reclaim the Founding Titan on Paradis, but Marcel, saving Reiner, is devoured by Ymir's Pure Titan. Following the assault on Wall Maria, they sneaked into Wall Rose and joined the Training Corps on Paradis two years later. Emerging from recollections of his past, Reiner attempts suicide, but stops after hearing Falco outside. He then tells himself that he needs to live because of his role as a mentor to Falco and the other Warrior Candidates. Falco stops by the hospital and has a conversation with an Eldian soldier who admits to faking his trauma-induced amnesia to avoid being sent back home.

At a Marleyan military meeting, Zeke proposes to use his last year of life to attack Paradis Island and retake the Founding Titan. However, as none of Marley's ships have returned for the past three years, it's clear to Zeke that Paradis controls at least two of the Nine Titans. On a train back to their homes, the surviving Eldian soldiers praise Gabi for her courage, while Reiner secretly encourages Falco to become the Armored Titan in place of Gabi. The Eldian soldiers and Warriors arrive at Liberio and reunite with their families. At dinner, Gabi recounts the victory at Fort Slava while Reiner is prompted to give an account of his time on Paradis. The next day, Zeke informs the other Warriors of his plan to use the Tybur noble family and their War Hammer Titan to announce an offensive against Paradis. Zeke proposes that the Tyburs publicly reveal their involvement and their plan during a festival in Liberio.

Due to the Warrior Unit's defeat on Paradis Island four years ago, the Mid-East Allied Forces had declared war against Marley. The operation to reclaim the Founding Titan was put on hold. Marley sends Eldian soldiers to take Fort Slava, including Warrior Candidates (candidates to inherit the Power of the Nine Titans) Falco Grice, his older brother Colt, Gabi Braun, Udo and Zofia. Colt proposes to Commander Theo Magath that they use the power of the Warrior Titans, but he refuses due to the Allied Forces' armored train possessing a deadly anti-Titan cannon. Gabi manages to approach the train and disable it with hand grenades. This allows Pieck's Cart Titan and Galliard's Jaw Titan to attack the fort. From an airship above Fort Slava, Eldians are transformed into Pure Titans by Zeke and are dropped onto it, destroying much of its structure. Reiner's Armored Titan, aided by the Jaw Titan, successfully pulverizes the fort's def
