Zeke tries to understand what happened inside Grisha’s memories. He realizes that Eren manipulated his father by showing him only the memories he saw fit. Thanks to Attack Titan’s powers, Eren knows the future as well, and that scares Zeke. So, Zeke orders Ymir to take away the ability of Eldians to have children. After that, Ymir starts walking towards the Coordinate, and Eren gets out of chains to stop Ymir.

Zeke thinks that Eren’s efforts are worthless because once Ymir starts walking, it’s impossible to stop her. And as soon as Eren touches Ymir, we see the origin story of Ymir. 2000 years ago, Ymir was born witnessing the horror of wars.

After burning her hometown, Fritz, the king of Eldia, enslaves Ymir. And soon enough, Ymir finds herself running for her life from Fritz’s men. To escape her death, Ymir gets inside a tree and falls inside a well, where a Titan’s spine attaches itself to Ymir, transforming her into a Titan.

Despite getting this immense power, Ymir doesn’t stop following Fritz, who uses Ymir’s Titan form to expand his empire.

Fritz also produces three children with Ymir, who were named Maria, Rose, and Sina. Everything goes well for the king until a man makes an attempt on his life. Ymir saves Fritz from the spear but gets herself killed in the process. After dying, Ymir finds herself in a strange world (Paths). Fritz then asks his children to eat Ymir’s body to inherit their mother’s powers, thus creating the coordinate.

Even after leaving the world, Ymir created Titans for 2000 years. Cut back to the present, Eren holds Ymir, stopping her from moving forwards. Eren asks Ymir to give him the Founding Titan’s powers and end this cycle. He tells Ymir that she is neither an enslaved person nor a God. Eren states that she can stay here for eternity or end her torment by lending her powers to Eren. Interestingly, Eren thinks that Ymir led him to the paths and that she was waiting for someone to free her from the endless cycle. Finally, we see Ymir breaking down emotionally and giving her powers to Eren.

Eren Starts The Rumbling To End All Life Outside of Paradis Island

After getting the powers from Ymir, Eren transforms into the Founding Titan in the real world. Shockingly, Eren’s transformation immediately starts the rumbling. At first, Armin thinks they’ve won, and Eren has started the Rumbling to defeat Marley. However, he feels that using these many Titans and giving away all the walls is too much to bring down Marley’s alliance.

At this point, Eren uses the Founding Titan’s powers to communicate with all Ymir’s subjects. Eren reveals that he wants to protect his people, but the outside world won’t stop until every single one of Ymir’s subjects is dead. So, he wants the Colossal Titans to march every inch of the world until everyone outside Paradis Island is dead.
