Episode 9 - Brave Volunteers (Giyūhei)






Three years prior to the attack on Marley, Eren's Attack Titan destroyed the first Marleyan scout ship and its crew were captured. Yelena and other Marleyan conscripted deserters who call themselves the "Anti-Marleyan Volunteers", offered help to the Eldians, backing Zeke Jaeger's plan to carry out the Rumbling in order to support them against Marley. Yelena and Onyankopon provided them with schematics of Marleyan guns and advanced weaponry. Using Yelena to lure in more scout ships while Armin's Colossal Titan takes some of them down, the Survey Corps recruited Marleyan soldiers as labor to build docks for the island. In the present, a Marleyan chef named Nicolo, who befriended the now deceased Sasha, grieves for her death and encounters the Braus family, inviting them to his restaurant. Meanwhile, Levi shows Zeke the Forest of Giant Trees where they will be staying, and Commander Pyxis has the Volunteers detained in order to keep Zeke on a short leash. Armin reflects to the still-crystallized Annie on how whether helping Eren in the raid against Marley was the right decision. Eren is in his cell, where he finished tidying up his appearance, and tells himself that the only way to win is to fight.
