Are Eren and his friends prepared to face the true monsters that lie within the walls?
Attack on Titan Season 3 recap
This is the third season. The government turns on the Survey Corps after they learn the walls' royal family is a fake. Levi's squad goes into hiding, hunted by the military police unit led by Kenny Ackerman, who raised Levi. Historia learns she is the illegitimate daughter of Rod Reiss, head of the true royal family, and that her family has passed down the Founding Titan, which can alter the memories of everyone in the walls. Rod plans to have Historia turn into a Titan and eat Eren to reclaim it. Eren learns his father Grisha took the Founding Titan from the Reisses, killing them, and passed it to Eren. Historia refuses, Rod turns into a huge Titan, Historia kills him, and she becomes queen. In the second part, the Survey Corps returns to Shiganshina to retake the wall and reach Grisha's basement, and fights Reiner, Bertholdt and the Beast Titan, Zeke.
