Episode 10 - A Sound Argument (Seiron)






Two years ago on Zeke's advice, a special envoy of Hizuru, Kiyomi Azumabito, landed on the newly-completed docks of Paradis Island for negotiations. A tattoo on Mikasa's arm revealed that she is the descendant of Hizuru's ruling shogun. Lady Azumabito believed that Hizuru could help Paradis achieve Zeke's plan using the Rumbling for Paradis' protection, in return for acquisition of the valuable Iceburst Stone - the mysterious Paradis substance which powered ODM gear. She listed Zeke's propositions: to enact a test of the Rumbling, strengthen and modernize the Paradis military, and for the Beast Titan to be passed down to someone of royal blood who would bear children to pass on the titan every 13 years. Historia agreed to inherit the Beast Titan, but Eren vehemently rejected Lady Azumabito's proposal. However, Hizuru's help rooted in greed, and a year later, they would not help Paradis negotiate trade with other nations, hoping to keep any profit from Paradis' resources for themselves. While working on the island's railway, the Survey Corps struggled to decide their strategy against Marley and who should inherit Eren's Titan when his term runs out. In the present, Hange interrogates Eren for acting on his own against the military, resulting in Eren grabbing Hange and asking her if she has any alternative plans. Historia is shown to be pregnant and living with a local farmer she knew from her childhood. Jean and Connie believe Eren has lost all sympathy for his friends. Armin plans to speak with Eren together with Mikasa, all while proposing that the military could have Eren be eaten by someone more trustworthy to them.
