Episode 15 -Sole Salvation (Yuiitsu no Sukui)

-





The badly wounded Zeke Jaeger remembers his life. As a child, Zeke was treated harshly by his parents Grisha Jaeger and Dina Fritz, especially when he fell behind in his Warrior training. In addition, he also experienced the Marleyans' attitudes towards Eldians. They saw him as a tool in their plans to restore Eldian society and overthrow Marley. One day, Zeke encountered Tom Ksaver who was the current owner of the Beast Titan and over the years, they developed a father-son relationship while playing catch and sharing information. When Zeke learned that his parents were Restorationists, he turned them over to the police at the urging of Ksaver and to save himself from being turned into a Pure Titan on Paradis. Later, Ksaver told Zeke that his Titan research revealed that the Founding Titan is able to manipulate the body structure of Eldians, the Subjects of Ymir. Together, Zeke and Ksaver resolved to "save" the Eldian people from further persecution by sterilizing them through the power of the Founding Titan. Later on, Ksaver revealed how to get around Karl Fritz's vow of renouncing war using a Titan of royal blood and an individual who possesses the Founder, but warned Zeke that he would not be able to use its power for himself. He told Zeke to think of himself as a key, and to find someone he would trust with the Founder. As Ksaver neared the end of his life, Zeke inherited the Beast Titan from him. Reuniting with Reiner and Bertholdt on Paradis before the battle to retake Wall Maria, he learned from them that Eren Jaeger possessed the Founder. He deduced that Grisha Jaeger had managed to avoid getting turned into a Titan, and that his father had done the same thing to Eren that he had done to him, so Zeke made a promise to rescue Eren from the influence of Grisha's will and memories. While Eren was in the hospital in Liberio, Zeke convinced him to cooperate with his plan for mass Eldian euthanasia. As Zeke finishes remembering his past, his mumbling is heard by Levi who turns his attention to Zeke. Preparing to cut his legs once again, Zeke ignites the Thunder Spear impaled in his body, setting off an explosion in which Levi is thrown clear.

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
