Too stubborn for his own good, he has little restraint when it comes to keeping out of fights, guided by his own sense of justice. If the violent deaths are enough to dissuade most from wanting to wander off outside of the walls, the promise of freedom and knowledge are what motivates the young Eren Jaeger to want to join the Survey Corps one day, the walls more suffocating than protective, making him feel like cattle with humanity too relaxed and comfortable, growing blind to the possible threat of an attack. Although highly skilled soldiers and considered the hope of Humanity, cadets in training still think twice before joining the Survey Corps due to the low mission success rate and shockingly high death counts. Keeping the peace inside the walls are the Military Police (horsehead insignia) and the Garrison Regimen (rose insignia), while the Survey Corps (wings of freedom insignia) patrol beyond the walls in attempts to reclaim land, often having to face Titans in direct combat. The wall in the middle of Maria and Sina is Wall Rose with all three walls circling around and towering over the remnants of humanity, yet also managing to create a divide in between each class. A set of three walls are raised in order to keep the peace, splitting the city into three realms: the poor live inside the outer wall called Wall Maria while the more wealthy reside in the innermost wall named Wall Sina home to the upper-class citizenry and the King himself at its centre (Mitras).
Life behind the walls is not entirely cushy, most of the land unsuitable for farming making for a somewhat rudimentary lifestyle but at the very least humanity is kept safe behind the hardened walls, strong enough to keep the Titans at bay.
Their only weak point, located flesh deep in the nape of their necks makes them almost impossible to kill, endangering the entire human species and forcing survivors to retreat and barricade themselves in a fortress of sky high walls behind which they have now been living for an entire century. The series begins one hundred years after the mysterious appearance of humanity’s newest and most deadly enemy: Titans, a race of animalistic humanoid giants who prey exclusively on humans, savagely devouring them by the handful. This said, for those late to the party who have yet to experience a single episode of Attack on Titan but wish to jump straight in at the same time as everybody else with season three, this guide will help paint a basic picture of what the anime is about with need-to-know events and key characters, mapping out the fundamentals of the series. With heavily anticipated Season 3 of Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin) coming out this month, it might be time for a refresher on events that transpired in the two previous seasons, season one having aired almost five years ago.
