InAttack on Titan: The Final Season Part 2, we saw the war between Paradis Island and the Marley army from its inception to its conclusion. Eren Yeager initially agreed with his half-brother Zeke’s plan to sterilize all Eldians, but eventually revealed his master plan. Zeke grabs Eren’s head after Gabi blows it up with a rife, instantly awakening the power of the Founding Titan as it comes in contact with his royal blood. Then Eren reveals his true intention of decimating the world instead of surrendering to Marley. With thepowers of the Founding Titan, he begins the Rumbling with all the Colossal Titans hidden within the walls of Paradis Island. Armin, Mikasa, Hange, Levi, and a few Marleyans, on the other hand, are attempting to stop Eren from committing mass genocide.
