What Happened so far in Attack on Titan
After Eren successfully infiltrated the Marleyan territory as a wounded soldier and met up with Zeke. Both of them came up with the plan of eradicating the Eldians through the Euthanization plan. However, Eren had different plans when he decided to attack the Warhammer Titan head on.
After the successful attack on Marleyan Island, and almost reaching back home unscathed Levi and Hange decide to keep a distance between the two brothers. The best way to do that was keeping Zeke in the eyes of Levi and trapping Eren in an underground Cell.
And while a rebellion grows in Paradise by Eren’s followers, capturing anyone who opposes Eren’s true plan. Well, all while making sure that Eren can meet up with Zeke to initiate his plan.
And when the Marleyan forces finally strike, they do their utmost to stop Eren and Zeke to meet. However, their plans fail and Eren shatters the walls, waking up thousands of colossal titans.
He has set his eyes on the world beyond the walls. He will not stop until every obstacle in his path is eradicated.
