We pick up with Eren, Mikasa and Armin under the protection of Commander Pyxis, who seems to be one of the only ones able to see the potential in Eren's new Titan powers. With faith in Armin’s quick-thinking, Pyxis puts the new plan into action - and we immediately see Armin starting to refine and adapt the idea like a true tactician!
It looks briefly like Mikasa will be assigned elsewhere and separated from Eren at this crucial moment, but naturally she finds a way to stick by his side, happier than anyone to be on the elite squad assigned to protect him. They know the risks, but they also know that Eren is humanity's best chance to seal the breach at Wall Rose.
Meanwhile, tension runs high throughout the rest of the city. Fear and suspicion run rampant among the soldiers and civilians alike, many of whom have lost faith in the plan before it even begins. Facing the terrifying possibility that these could be their final hours, many simply choose to spend them alongside their loved ones.
The build-up is full of emotion, anxiety, and desperate hope - exactly what makes Attack on Titan so compelling!
