25. The War Hammer Titan: Season 4 – Episode 6

Willy Tybur and Theo Magath learn that their enemies plan to attack the festivities in Liberio, intending to exploit the situation. Currently, Eren Jaeger’s Titan is seen consuming Willy and indiscriminately attacking the crowd at the celebration.

Lara Tybur morphs into the War Hammer Titan to take him on, while Pieck and Porco Galliard of the Scout Regiment look on as they appear. The War Hammer Titan overpowers Eren, demanding his last words, but he’s given a reprieve by Mikasa Ackerman who unexpectedly disables the Titan with a powerful strike.

24. Wall: Assault on Stohess, Part 3: Season 1 – Episode 25

In the heart-pounding scenes of Stohess, I, a movie buff, found myself engrossed as Eren and Annie clashed, each transforming into colossal Titans, leaving destruction and tragic casualties in their wake. The command came from Hange, urging her troops to remain vigilant until Annie could be apprehended. However, it was Mikasa who took matters into her own hands; she swiftly amputated Annie’s Titan fingers, sending the Titan crashing to the ground in defeat.

As Annie tumbles down, memories flood back of her father imploring for forgiveness, urging her to detest the world, and asking her to swear to come home again. In that critical moment, as Eren seemed poised to devour Annie, he paused when she started sobbing, and her body encased itself in a crystalline form instead.

23. First Battle: The Struggle for Trost, Part 1: Season 1 – Episode 5

Eren’s fight against the Colossal Titan concludes when the beast disappears without any sign of it being there. As the cadets assume responsibility for defending the city, worry and despair spread among them. Mikasa worries about Eren’s well-being. The invading Titans swiftly wipe out Eren’s squad as the fighting starts. In the heat of battle, Eren rescues Armin from imminent doom, but ends up being consumed himself instead.

As a captivated student within the 104th Cadet Corps, I found myself engrossed in a riveting lecture about Titans – creatures that had long been shrouded in mystery. The enigmatic nature of these beings was further accentuated as our educator delved into their unique characteristics: they could regenerate from even the smallest fragments, required no sustenance, and reproduced in a manner that remained elusive to us all. These revelations sparked an electrifying surge of curiosity within me, igniting a burning desire to uncover the secrets behind these seemingly invincible creatures.

22. Charge: Season 2 – Episode 11

After learning Ymir’s reasons, Historia consents to remain by her side. The enemies advance towards the Armored Titan, trapping Bertholdt, who stubbornly refuses to surrender Eren. Erwin initiates a fierce counterattack against the Warriors, getting wounded in the process, but Eren manages to escape. Mikasa swears that she won’t hesitate to eliminate anyone obstructing her mission to rescue Eren.

All of a sudden, a colossal Titan swooped down before them, leaving the Scouts in shock. Meanwhile, Reiner unleashed Titans in a desperate attack from afar, causing chaos among the soldiers. The tumultuous scene knocked Eren and Mikasa off their mounts. Amidst the dust clouds at a distance, Eren recognized that Titan as the one who had slain his mother five years prior.

21. The Other Side of the Wall: Season 3 – Episode 22

The ruling authority decides to disclose the information found in Grisha Jaeger’s personal diaries, leading to significant perplexity as people struggle to comprehend this revelation. Yet, efforts to eliminate Titans with the Devil’s Hammer persist until only a small number are left. Once that happens, those who survive are allowed to rebuild their lives within Wall Maria.

A year following the attack on Trost District, and six years since the fall of Wall Maria, it’s permissible for the Scout Regiment to embark on an expedition beyond Wall Maria for exploration of the land outside.

Most Scouts eagerly look forward to swimming in the sea, but Eren Jaeger, aware that this sight – which he had long dreamed of and romanticized as a symbol of liberty – in truth offers no freedom at all, and that their real enemies lie beyond the sea.

20. I Can Hear His Heartbeat: The Struggle for Trost, Part 4: Season 1 – Episode 8

I, along with Mikasa, Armin, and Conny, guide the enigmatic Titan towards Trost HQ, while Jean takes charge of the cadets en route. Outside, the Titan clashes with others, while the cadets brainstorm a strategy to eradicate Titans from the supply room. Some of us notice the mysterious Titan faltering due to exhaustion after defeating other Titans, only to recover following replenishment. Miraculously, Eren Jaeger awakens unscathed and restored from within the Titan’s jaws.

19. The Attack Titan: Season 3 – Episode 21

After “The Owl” (Titan) killed Marleyan soldiers and scattered their remains into the sea, he left the Titan behind and climbed the Wall to reach Grisha. The Owl introduced himself formally to Grisha as Eren Kruger, an Eldian and a successor of one of the Nine Titans.

As Kruger’s condition worsened, he requested that Grisha follow through with his scheme. When Grisha inquired as to why Kruger hadn’t done it himself, Kruger explained that due to the “Curse of Ymir,” those who inherit the Nine Titans only live for 13 years, and his time had run out.

18. Above and Below: Season 4 – Episode 16

Floch Forster, Hange Zo, and a band of Jaegerists were journeying towards the Forest of Giant Trees when suddenly, they heard an explosion. The source was Zeke Jaeger igniting his Thunder Spear. As Zeke recovered from his injuries, a Titan approached him, tearing open its stomach to encase Zeke’s body within.

In the meantime, Yelena assembles Dot Pyxis and other dissenting soldiers from Shiganshina District. Simultaneously, Eren Jaeger goes to talk with Gabi Braun who is imprisoned, asking her to send a distress signal to Marley in exchange for Falco Grice’s freedom. However, Pieck, disguised, challenges Eren, feigning interest in helping him annihilate Marley instead.

17. Assault: Season 4 – Episode 7

In the heat of battle, the Scout Regiment and their opponents face each other, with the Beast Titan joining the fray. At first, Pieck feels assured about Marley’s chances, but when Armin Arlelt’s Colossal Titan emerges in Liberio’s port, obliterating any military reinforcements, the tide of war dramatically shifts. Porco Galliard separates from the group to attack Eren Jaeger, creating an opportunity for Levi Ackermann to seize control of the Beast Titan. As the Scouts close in on Pieck, ready to strike, she is moments away from death until Falco Grice steps in to save her.

16. Reply: Season 3 – Episode 5

Erwin Smith presents his case for the importance of the Scout Regiment to the King and the gathering nobles. If Titans breached the Walls once more, humanity could potentially face civil war due to a lack of food resources to sustain both Sina Wall and Rose Wall. However, his reasoning falls flat, and the nobility orders his execution instead.

Anka Rheinberger discloses that Wall Rose is shattered, compelling the aristocracy to deal with the predicament Erwin had explained. However, Dot Pyxis’ command to relocate the residents in Wall Rose is overruled by the nobles, who decide instead to secure Wall Sina by locking its gates.

15. Midnight Sun: Season 3 – Episode 18

After their defeat against Reiner Braun transformed into the Cart Titan, Hange Zo and the members of Levi Squad enter to find Eren and Mikasa Ackermann in a heated confrontation with Levi – this could be through words or actions. In the end, Hange manages to calm down Mikasa, and Levi instructs everyone to leave so he can administer the injection to Erwin.

When Erwin begins sharing an old memory, Levi thinks it’s wiser to give him some space. Then, Armin is injected, devours Bertholdt, and transforms into his Pure Titan form with his friends surrounding him.

14. Warrior: Season 2 – Episode 6

The Scouts intend to regroup at Trost, having descended from Wall Rose’s summit. Hange expresses her desire to collaborate with Ymir in the future, while Hannes discloses that they found no breach in the Wall. Reiner then privately informs Eren of their true identities as the Armored and Colossal Titans, and proposes that he join them.

Eren refutes the charges, attempting to clear his name of doubt; however, Reiner chooses to believe by healing his injury. Mikasa assaults them both, but they transform into Titans, overpowering her and capturing Eren and Ymir. Overwhelmed, Eren then transforms into a Titan himself.

13. Assassin’s Bullet: Season 4 – Episode 8

As a movie buff, I’d rephrase it like this: Fed up with endless brawls in Liberio, I – Eren Jaeger – manage to take down Reiner Braun before making a swift exit alongside Mikasa Ackermann towards the Scout Regiment’s airship. Gabi Braun, relentless as ever, gives chase while Falco Grice valiantly tries to halt her pursuit.

After boarding, she moves to eliminate Sasha Braus; however, she’s subsequently surrounded by the Scouts. Later, Jean Kirstein leads them both into a different room where Zeke is recovering from his staged fight against Levi Ackermann.

Everything unfolded as anticipated, except for a few discrepancies, particularly the presence of the two kids. However, Hange Zo is upset with Eren for compelling the Scouts to aid him, and when Sasha succumbs to her wounds, Jean holds Eren responsible for her demise.

12. Savagery: Season 4 – Episode 14

In a quiet gathering, Eren Jaeger, Mikasa Ackermann, and Armin Arlelt discuss matters intensely as Gabi Braun squirms uneasily. Armin challenges Eren over his assault on Liberio, to which Eren defends, asserting it was his independent decision. However, Mikasa suspects he’s acting under someone else’s influence. This accusation infuriates Eren, who lashes out at them both; criticizing Armin for being manipulated by Bertholdt Hoover’s memories and Mikasa for her Ackermann lineage. In a cold tone, Eren reveals his long-held resentment towards Mikasa. A heated argument ensues between Armin and Eren, ending in a physical altercation. But the confrontation quickly ends with Armin suffering a defeat.

11. Sole Salvation: Season 4 – Episode 15

Zeke Jaeger reminisces about his past and how he felt forced to join his parents’ plan to free Eldia from Marley. He develops a friendship with Tom Xaver, who is part of the Titan research team. His goal is to eventually take over the Beast Titan from him. Furthermore, he expresses that he will ensure the mission to recapture the Founding Titan is successful. Later, after recovering his memories, Zeke triggers the Thunder Spear, surprising Levi Ackermann.

10. Forest of Giant Trees: The 57th Exterior Scouting Mission, Part 2: Season 1 – Episode 18

In its chase after Eren, the Female Titan ravages the Scout Regiment, leaving no surviving soldier in its wake. Simultaneously, Commander Erwin alters their strategic movement towards the Woodland of colossal trees.

As Squad Levi enters the forest, they swiftly encounter the Female Titan. This leaves the squad in a fluster and they turn to Captain Levi for guidance, despite him maintaining a composed demeanor in the midst of this emergency.

9. Close Combat: Season 2 – Episode 7

In their respective Titan forms, Eren squares off against the Armored Titan, while the Scout Regiment attempts to engage the Colossal Titan. However, Bertholdt’s Titan produces a steam whirlwind that hinders their progress. Struggling against the Armored Titan, Eren remembers a fighting strategy he once learned from Annie years ago. Using this technique, Eren gains an advantage, but the Colossal Titan intervenes forcefully, effectively ending the fight.

8. The Town Where Everything Began: Season 3 – Episode 13

Armin Arlelt uncovers signs of hostile actions and takes a group of soldiers to track down where the enemy is hiding. Meanwhile, Reiner Braun is found hidden behind the Wall, but Levi Ackermann struggles to defeat him before Reiner transforms into the Titan with Armor.

Outside the district, the colossal Beast Titan appears along with a group of smaller Titans. It hurls a massive rock through the gap in the inner gate of the Wall, effectively sealing off the district’s single exit and trapping the Scout Regiment’s horses on the Titan side of the barrier. This blockade leaves the Scout Regiment with no choice but to engage the Titans head-on.

7. Declaration of War: Season 4 – Episode 5

Willy Tybur delivers a dramatic portrayal of the Eldian past as it’s commonly known, but unveils that the true ending of the Great Titan War was secretly orchestrated by King Karl Fritz himself. He worked alongside the Tybur family to create the myth of Helos.

The monarch isolated himself and his subjects onto a place called Paradise Island, swearing off any future conflicts that would be inherited by his heirs, thus potentially preventing Titan invasions since the ruling Titan has been transferred to Eren, who isn’t subjected to the same constraints as the royal bloodline. Willy urges everyone around the world to unite with him in declaring war against Paradise.

6. Scream: Season 2 – Episode 12

Following the Titan that killed Eren’s mother consuming Hannes, Eren unleashes an enormous power on the beast, causing other Titans to attack and dismantle it before chasing Reiner and Bertholdt off. Meanwhile, Ymir decides to leave the Scouts and align herself with the Warriors for personal motivations.

As I delve deeper into the mystery, it becomes clear that the colossal titans rampaging Wall Rose were actually citizens of Ragako, in disguise all along. Meanwhile, my comrade Erwin lies injured, but he remains hopeful that the truth about the world will soon be uncovered as Eren dedicates himself to mastering his newfound abilities.

5. To You, in 2000 Years: The Fall of Shiganshina, Part 1: Season 1 – Episode 1

A century following the emergence of the Titans, humanity encounters a chilling reaffirmation of their destructive power. Amidst the belief that safety lay within the Walls, an enormous Titan suddenly appears and successfully breaks through, shattering our illusion of protection.

In a heart-wrenching turn of events, Eren and Mikasa, fresh characters on the scene, exhaust all their efforts to rescue the mother trapped under the wreckage of their fallen home. Yet, they are compelled to flee when a terrifying Titan arises. Horrified, Eren witnesses the Titan lift her up and consume her before his very eyes.

4. Thunder Spears Season 3 – Episode 14

At the gate, the Scouts face off against the Titans due to past losses, but Eren presents an opportunity for the Scouts to employ their newly acquired Thunder Spear weapons against the Armored Titan within Shiganshina. Hange Squad and Levi Squad manage to obstruct and injure the Armored Titan’s neck region.

3. Hero: Season 3 – Episode 17

Zeke slaughters the surviving Scout Regiment trainees, lamenting the loss of their lives. Yet, he is taken aback when Levi Ackermann appears, hidden by the Scouts’ defensive maneuvers. Despite being outnumbered, Levi swiftly dismantles Zeke’s Beast Titan. However, before he could administer a Titan serum to feed Zeke to a surviving Scout, the Cart Titan attacks Levi and carries both Zeke and itself away.

Zeke orders the remaining Titans under his command to eliminate Levi. In a close fight, Levi comes very close to killing his adversary, but neither of them emerges victorious, leaving room for a future confrontation.

2. That Day: Season 3 – Episode 20

In a quick flashback to the present, it’s shown that Eren isn’t just fantasizing about his father’s past, but actually swapping memories with him. It feels like he’s been teleported into his father’s consciousness.

This episode suggests a fascinating evolution in the dynamics of Titans through successive generations, but it’s complex enough as it is without introducing the complications of a paternal relationship between Titans.

1. Perfect Game: Season 3 – Episode 16

In this rephrased version: The Beast Titan’s bombardment with rocks wipes out the Scouts, except for Erwin Smith, Levi Ackermann, and the trainees who were there. Faced with near-certain death no matter what transpired, Erwin gambles everything on a last-ditch operation. He orchestrates a feigned mass suicide charge by the recruits toward the Beast Titan, creating an opportunity for Levi to sneak up and eliminate it unobserved. This moment is undeniably one of the most intense and memorable scenes in the entire series.
