Episode 5 - Declaration of War (Sensen Fukoku)

-





Willy begins his theatrical presentation to the audience while Eren and a terrified Reiner listen in the basement below the stage with Falco. Willy tells the well-known story of Marley's hero Helos, who formed an alliance with the Tybur family to defeat the Eldian King Fritz. However, he reveals Fritz and the Tybur family fabricated the myth themselves since Fritz longed for peace. His ideology was passed through his bloodline, which kept his successors bound to his desire, while vowing to release the Wall Titans if the peace is shattered by Marley. Meanwhile, Pieck and Porco are sent down a trap door by a Marleyan soldier, which drops them into a small, stone-walled cellar, preventing them from transforming into Titans. On stage, Willy announces that an uprising has occurred on Paradis, and that the Founding Titan has been stolen by a man called Eren Jaeger. Willy explains that Eren is a threat to world peace as he is not bound by Fritz's vow to renounce war. In the basement, Eren apologizes to a horrified Falco, and explains that since his arrival in Marley, he has realized that both Paradis and Marley are alike in that both sides are just people. He tells Reiner that the two of them are alike, but with contrasting beliefs due to their different upbringings. Reiner, devastated by the thought of everything that happened on Paradis four years prior, including the death of Eren's mother, is his fault, begs Eren to kill him. Just as Willy declares war on Paradis, Eren transforms into the Attack Titan, bursts out of the basement and crushes the stage along with Willy, throwing his mangled body into the air.

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

Hange and Floch's group hear the explosion of the Thunder Spear and decide to investigate. Meanwhile, a female Pure Titan approaches the dying Zeke, tears open her abdomen and places him inside. Yelena and the Volunteers hold the Paradis government hostage with the threat of them being turned into Titans as most of them have drunk the wine that was spiked with Zeke's spinal fluid. She then explains Zeke and Eren's euthanasia plan to the imprisoned Survey Corps members: a widespread Eldian sterilization to prevent the births of any more Subjects of Ymir until the death of Historia's child, after which humanity will be free from the threat of Titans. In the meantime, they will use the threat of the Rumbling to prevent interference on Paradis from other nations. Eren meets with Gabi, ordering her to cooperate with him, but is interrupted by Pieck who surprisingly offers to join the Jaegerists. She states that the Marleyans must be punished for their poor tr
