Shingeki no Kyojin

Wall Sina, the innermost of Paradis Island’s three concentric walls, protects the elite and royal capital, Mitras. Built by King Karl Fritz using Colossal Titans, it houses the wealthiest Eldians, nobility, and the Royal Government. Its fortified structure ensures safety from Titan threats, maintaining a luxurious, isolated society. During the Uprising Arc, it becomes a battleground for the Survey Corps’ coup against the monarchy, exposing hidden truths about the Reiss family and the Coordinate.

Wall Rose, the second of the three concentric walls on Paradis Island, serves as the intermediate barrier protecting Eldians from Titans. Built by Karl Fritz using Colossal Titans, it encloses key districts like Trost and Utopia. After Wall Maria’s fall in 845, it becomes the primary refuge for survivors, housing displaced populations and military bases. Breached briefly in Trost by the Colossal Titan, it holds firm through Garrison and Survey Corps efforts, remaining central to Eldian survival until the Rumbling.

Wall Maria, the outermost of the three concentric walls on Paradis Island, stands as the first line of defense against Titans. Constructed over a century ago by the 145th King Karl Fritz using Colossal Titans, it encircles a vast territory, including fertile lands and key districts like Shiganshina. Breached in 845 by the Colossal Titan, its fall displaced thousands, forcing survivors into Wall Rose. Its reclamation in 850 marks a pivotal victory for the Survey Corps, restoring Eldian control.

Trost District, a key southern settlement within Wall Rose on Paradis Island, serves as a major military and civilian hub. Built after the fall of Wall Maria, its robust walls and strategic location make it vital for trade and defense. Home to a prominent Garrison base, Trost houses cannons and military supplies. Its proximity to Shiganshina amplifies its role in Titan defense operations, with its gate being a focal point for invasions and counterattacks.
Notable events: Battle of Trost District (845, Colossal Titan breaches gate, Eren seals wall with boulder). Garrison defense led by Dot Pixis. Eren’s first Titan transformation revealed. Civilian evacuations and heavy casualties.
Typical Role in Attack on Titan: Trost District is a crucible for survival and military strategy, central to early conflicts. Its breach tests the resolve of the 104th Cadet Corps and reveals Titan-shifting powers, shaping the Eldian fight against Titans. The district’s markets and streets provide a vivid backdrop for civilian life and desperate battles.

Stohess District, nestled within Wall Sina’s eastern sector, is a prosperous urban hub known for its wealth and political significance. As a key administrative center, it houses elite residences and Military Police headquarters. Its cobblestone streets and ornate buildings reflect affluence, but its proximity to the capital makes it a hotspot for covert operations. In 850, Stohess becomes the stage for a catastrophic battle when Eren Jaeger’s Attack Titan clashes with Annie Leonhart’s Female Titan, exposing hidden truths about the Walls.
Notable events: Battle of Stohess (850, Eren vs. Annie, Female Titan’s capture attempt). Revelation of Wall Titans within Wall Sina’s structure.
Typical Role in Attack on Titan: Stohess District is a critical setting for political intrigue and pivotal confrontations. Its role in the Female Titan’s unmasking underscores its importance in unraveling Marleyan infiltration and Eldian secrets, making it a focal point for strategic maneuvers and societal tensions within the Walls.

Shiganshina District, a southern outpost of Wall Maria, is a bustling settlement on Paradis Island, vital for its strategic position. Built by the Eldian Empire, it thrives on trade and agriculture until its fall in 845 when the Colossal Titan breaches its gate, allowing Titans to devastate the district. The ensuing chaos kills many, including Carla Jaeger. Its reclamation in 850 by the Survey Corps uncovers Grisha’s basement, revealing truths about Marley and the Eldian-Marleyan conflict.
Notable events: Fall of Shiganshina (845, Colossal Titan breach, Carla’s death). Battle of Shiganshina (850, Survey Corps retakes district, basement revelation). Eren’s Coordinate activation (850, partial wall destruction).
Key Figures/Affiliations/Sub-Groups: Eren Jaeger, Mikasa Ackerman, Armin Arlert, Survey Corps, Reiner Braun, Bertholdt Hoover, Grisha Jaeger.
Typical Role in Attack on Titan: Shiganshina is a narrative cornerstone, symbolizing loss and resilience. Its fall sparks Eren’s journey, while its reclamation unveils the world’s truth. The district hosts pivotal battles, shaping the Eldian fight for survival and freedom against Titans and Marley.

The story of Attack on Titan centers on a civilization inside three circular walls. According to the knowledge propagated locally, it is the last surviving vestige of human civilization. Its inhabitants, known as Eldians, have been led to believe that over one hundred years ago, humanity was driven to the brink of extinction after the emergence of humanoid giants called Titans, who attack and eat humans on sight. The last remnants of humanity retreated behind three concentric walls and enjoyed roughly a century of peace. Within the walls, the thought of venturing outside is strongly frowned upon and discouraged. To combat Titans, the country's military employs Vertical Maneuvering Equipment (VME), also called Omni-Directional Maneuvering Gear (ODM Gear): a set of waist-mounted grappling hooks and gas-powered propulsion enabling mobility in three dimensions. Swords made of ultrahard steel are used in conjunction with the gear, and eventually rocket launcher–like weapons called Thunder Spears are developed.
In Attack on Titan, daily life within Paradis’s Walls revolves around survival under constant Titan threat. Society is rigidly stratified: Wall Sina houses elites, Wall Rose the middle class, and Wall Maria the poorest, with the Survey Corps risking lives to explore beyond. Fear of Titans enforces strict military rule, while suppressed histories hide Eldian-Marleyan conflicts. Beyond the Walls, Marley’s internment zones oppress Eldians, treating them as tools for war. Post-Rumbling, global societies face rebuilding amidst lingering ethnic tensions, offering perilous freedom or subjugation.
Setting: Pre-845 to 854, Paradis Island, Marley, global territories

There are different types of Titans. Pure Titans are the weakest and most generic, whose behavior is easy to predict, making them easy to kill. Abnormal Titans are Pure Titans whose behavior is more difficult to predict, making them far more dangerous. The Nine Titans, also known as Titan Shifters (Attack, Colossal, Armored, Female, Beast, Jaw, Cart, War Hammer, and Founding), are the strongest Titans; each is able to shift back and forth between human and Titan form to access their Titan's abilities. Many Titan Shifters possess the ability to harden certain parts of their bodies at will, typically in order to make them virtually impenetrable, or to strengthen their blows during combat.

For over a century, humans have been living in settlements surrounded by three 50m gigantic walls, Wall Maria, Wall Rose and Wall Sina, which prevent the Titans, giant humanoid creatures who eat humans, from entering. Eren Jaeger, of the town called the Shiganshina District, wishes to see the outside world by joining the Scout Regiment, as he likens living in the cities to livestock. Despite this, his friend Mikasa Ackermann and their mother Carla Jaeger are against him joining the Scouts. Even after seeing the Scouts return home with large casualties, Eren expresses his interest to join, which impresses his father Grisha Jaeger, who promises to show him what lies in their basement once he returns. After Eren and Mikasa rescue their friend Armin Arlert from a group of delinquents, the Colossal Titan, a 60m Titan, suddenly appears and knocks down the gate to the Shiganshina District, which lies in the outer edge of Wall Maria, allowing smaller Titans to enter. As the town erupts into mass panic, Eren and Mikasa rush back to their house, only to see Carla pinned under their collapsed house. As a Smiling Titan approaches them, Carla begs them to flee, but they refuse until city guard Hannes arrives and assures them that he will defend them. However, as he charges towards the Titan, he is overcome with fear and takes Eren and Mikasa away. Eren watches in horror as a Smiling Titan eats Carla.

Hannes apologizes to Eren for not saving his mother, admitting he was afraid of the Smiling Titan and that both Eren and Mikasa are still weak children. Some of townsfolk of the Shiganshina District escape to the inner Wall Maria, while the soldiers try to hold off the Titans. The soldiers try to close the gate, but the Armored Titan rams the gate, breaching the inner Wall Maria, and causing those inside to retreat even further inside Wall Rose. Some time later, Eren has a strange dream in which his grieving father forcefully gives him an injection and his key before being woken up by Mikasa. Eren grows disgusted with the people of Wall Rose as the latter do not like sharing their food or homes with the refugees. During the next year, as a food shortage becomes apparent, the government orders the refugees to either work on the farms or fight to reclaim Wall Maria. About 250,000 people, 20% of the populace, choose to fight, only to be wiped out by the Titans. Eren vows revenge and joins the army along with Mikasa and Armin.

The drill instructor Keith Sadies inspects the new recruits of the 104th Cadet Corps and provides a barrage of verbal insults. When he comes across Sasha Braus, who is eating a potato, he punishes her by having her run around the camp until sunset and not giving her any food or drink. Eren develops a rivalry with Jean Kirschtein, who desires a safe and easy position in the Military Police Regiment within the inner city walls. The recruits train on an omni-directional mobility gear[10] apparatus, where they have to balance themselves while suspended on cables. After Eren has trouble balancing, he asks Reiner Braun and Bertholdt Hoover for help and discover they too are among the few who have personally encountered Titans. The next day, Eren balances on the apparatus but falls, but Keith discovers that Eren's apparatus was defective and passes him after a retry with different equipment.
