Synopsis [ edit ]

Setting [ edit ]

Over 100 muthafuckin years before tha beginnin of tha rap on a alternate ghetto, giant humanoid creatures called Titans (�.�人, Kyojin) suddenly rocked up n' nearly wiped up humanity, devourin dem without remorse or reason n' only targetin them; they straight-up ignore other wildlife. What remainz of humanitizzle now resides within three enormous curtain walls: tha outermost is Wall Maria (ウォール・マリア, Wōru Maria); tha middle wall is Wall Rose (ウォール・ローゼ, Wōru Rōze, sometimes pronounced like rosé) n' tha innermost is Wall Sheena (ウォール・�.ーナ, Wōru Shīna, alt. "Wall Sina"). Inside these walls, humanitizzle has lived up in uneasy peace fo' one hundred years, nuff playas growin up without eva havin peeped a Titan. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. This all chizzlez when one day, a giant 60-meta (200 ft)-tall Colossus Titan mysteriously appears afta a strike of lightnin n' breaches tha outa wall (which is 50 metas tall) of tha Shiganshina district, a hood at Wall Maria, allowin tha smalla Titans ta invade tha district fo' realz. An Armored Titan smashes clean all up in tha gate up in Wall Maria, forcin humankind ta abandon tha land between Wall Maria n' Wall Rose, evacuatin tha remainin population tha fuck into tha inner districts, n' you can put dat on yo' toast. Da sudden influx of population causes turmoil n' famine.

Da Titans is giant humanoid figures rangin between 3 n' 15 metas (10 n' 50 ft) tall n' is probably masculine up in body structure but lack reproductizzle organs fo' realz. Although they do not step tha fuck up ta need chicken, they instinctively battle n' smoke humans on sight; it is mentioned dat they derive they juice from sunlight. Furthermore, tha Titans also aint gots a proper digestizzle tract; once they have smoked they fill of human prey, Titans will vomit large, slimy balls, derisively referred ta as "hairballs", as shown up in tha episode where tha squad retakes Trost. Finally, they skin is tough n' hard as fuck ta penetrate, n' they regenerate quickly from fuck-ups, except fo' a weak spot all up in tha nape of they neck.

Combatin tha Titans is tha military, which is divided tha fuck into three branches. Foremost up in tha rap is tha Survey Corps (調査兵団, Chōsa Heidan), which goes up tha fuck into Titan territory ta try ta reclaim tha land. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Da Survey Corps is heavily derided up in society cuz of its apparently senseless high casualty rate n' lil sense of progress. Da second n' phattest branch is tha Garrison Regiment (e��屯兵団, Chūton Heidan), which guardz tha walls n' tha civilian populace. Da third branch is tha Military Popo Brigade (憲兵団, Kenpeidan), which guardz tha royal crew n' lives relatively chillaxed lives up in tha innermost wall, although dis eventually thangs up in dis biatch up in fraud, corruption, n' ballistical subterfuge. Da soldiers bust a grappling, tetherin system called Vertical Maneuverin Equipment (立�"機動装置, Rittai Kidō Sōchi) dat allows dem ta jump onto (and swin from) walls, trees, or nearby buildings ta battle Titans wit dual swords, n' use gas canistas which ta propel theyselves. But fuck dat shiznit yo, tha word on tha street is dat despite it bein tha soldiers' primary line of both offense n' defense against tha Titans, it is useless up in open n' flat terrain like fields.

It be lata revealed dat tha Titans was pimped when Ymir Fritz found tha "source of all organic game" n' became tha Foundin Titan which gave her tha mobilitizzle ta become a Titan n' create n' control tha other Titans. When Ymir took a dirt nap as a side effect of havin tha Titan mobilitizzle fo' 13 years, her juice was divided among nine whoz ass received dis same fate, n' thus have they abilitizzles passed ta another upon dirtnap ta other Subjectz of Ymir, also known tha Eldian people, they home ghetto known as Eldia. These Titans consist of tha Foundin Titan, tha Attack Titan, tha Colossal Titan, tha Armored Titan, tha Female Titan, tha Beast Titan, tha Jaw Titan, tha Cart Titan, n' tha Battle Hammer Titan. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Da Foundin Titan remained wit tha Fritz crew as Eldiaz 145th Mackdaddy Karl Fritz, corrupted n' power-hungry, arranged fo' his ghettoz fall by tha ghetto of Marley n' took a handful of his thugged-out lil' playas ta tha island of Paradis. There, he used countless Colossus Titan bodies ta make tha walls n' erased tha memoriez of most of tha playas his thugged-out lil' punk-ass brought wit his ass wit his Titan power, so they did not know anythang bout tha outside ghetto. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! As tha memoriez of dem wit Titan powers is passed wit dem when they is passed ta another, his fuckin lil' descendants was hyped up tha fuck into continuin his work of rulin tha Eldians up in tha walls all up in fear from tha shadows, while tha Eldians up in Marley suffer as second-class playa hatas wit some bein exiled ta Paradis as tha Titans dat terrorize tha islandz gangstas.

Plot [ edit ]

Eren Jaeger lives wit his thugged-out adopted sista Mikasa Ackerman n' dopest playa Armin Arlert up in tha hood of Shiganshina adjacent ta Wall Maria, outermost of three circular walls protectin humanitizzle from man-eatin Titans holla'd ta have capped all other humans one hundred muthafuckin years prior.

Afta a titan devours his crazy-ass mutha n' his wild lil' daddy disappears, a vengeful Eren enlists up in tha military along wit Mikasa n' Armin.

Despite tha expeditionz failure, Armin deduces tha Female Titanz identitizzle as a gangbangin' fellow cadet from they class named Annie Leonhart wit abilitizzles akin ta Erenz fo' realz. Annie encases her muthafuckin ass up in crystal followin her capture up in Stohess, collateral damage revealin tha walls is formed from massive Titans within dem wild-ass muthafuckas. Peepin tha mysterious appearizzle of tha Beast Titan behind Wall Rose, Eren is kidnapped by his wild lil' fellow cadets Reiner Braun n' Bertolt Hoover, exposed as tha Titans whoz ass compromised Wall Maria. They n' Annie was dispatched by a unknown jam ta capture tha "Coordinate", a mobilitizzle ta control titans which they suspect Eren possesses. Eren manifests dis juice durin a encounta wit tha titan whoz ass capped his crazy-ass mother, allowin his ass n' tha pursuin Survey Corps ta escape. Da Corps theorize dat Titans was originally humans, n' may regain they human form by consumin a individual wit Titan power, acquirin dem abilitizzles fo' theyselves.

Persecuted by tha military police, tha Survey Corps discover tha royal posse seats a gangbangin' figurehead mackdaddy n' suppresses technological advancement. Erenz comrade Historia Reiss learns her ass is tha illegitimate lil pimp of tha walls' legit rula Rod Reiss, whoz ass has her n' Eren kidnapped. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Rod reveals his thugged-out ancestor pimped tha walls rockin tha juice of tha Foundin Titan, intendin ta confine humanitizzle n' erasin they memories. Put ya muthafuckin choppers up if ya feel dis! Da Reiss crew passed down tha Mackdaddyz juice n' will until Erenz daddy Grisha stole tha juice of tha Foundin Titan durin Wall Mariaz fall, n' passed its juice ta Eren by turnin his ass tha fuck into a Titan via a injection n' allowin his dirty ass ta be devoured. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Rod intendz fo' Historia ta become a Titan n' smoke Eren ta reclaim tha Reiss crewz juice yo, but Historia refuses n' aidz tha Survey Corps' rescue of Eren n' rebellion against tha monarchy. Peepin Rodz defeat, tha military assumes juice n' crowns Historia biatch. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch fo' realz. Although Erenz lack of royal ancestry inhibits tha Foundin Titanz power, he obtains a mobilitizzle ta create permanent structures, which tha Survey Corps use up in they next expedizzle ta seal tha breach up in Wall Maria. But fuck dat shiznit yo, tha word on tha street is dat tha crew is ambushed by Reiner, Bertolt n' they superior Zeke, tha Beast Titan. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Da Survey Corps subdue Bertolt n' drive off tha other enemy Titans yo, but most of tha expedizzle thugz is capped durin tha battle wit Armin n' Commander Erwin Smizzle left mortally wounded. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Levi, armed wit a single injection taken from Rod, decides ta save Armin over Erwin. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch fo' realz. Armin devours Bertolt n' acquires tha Colossal Titanz powers.

Before returnin home, tha survivors recover Grishaz memoirs from tha Yeagers' basement yo. His writings state dat human civilization is straight-up thrivin n' tha playaz of tha walls is thugz of tha Eldian race, whose common ancestor Ymir Fritz acquired tha Juice of tha Titans, grantin her progeny tha unique potential ta become Titans n' inherit nine Titan powers. Ymirz descendants dominated ghetto history fo' centuries until 100 muthafuckin years prior ta tha series' beginning, when tha 145th Eldian Mackdaddy retreated ta Paradis Island n' established tha three walls wit tha Foundin Titan, threatenin ta retaliate wit tha titans comprisin tha walls should his thugged-out lil' peace be disturbed. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Da hood of Marley conquered tha remainin Eldians, quarantinin dem up in ghettos n' passin tha seven captured Titan Powers ta indoctrinated Eldian "Warriors" fo' furtherin Marleyz nationistic interests, n' you can put dat on yo' toast. Grisha conspired wit other Eldian dissidents ta acquire tha Foundin Titan before Marley n' free they playas but was outed by his fuckin lil hustla Zeke Yeager, Erenz half-brutha n' tha future Beast Titan, n' sentenced ta game as a mindless Titan wanderin Paradis. But fuck dat shiznit yo, tha word on tha street is dat Grisha was saved by his crazy-ass movementz informant, whoz ass entrusted his Titan juice n' mission ta Grisha n' busted his ass ta infiltrate tha walls n' recover tha Foundin Titan. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Eren learns dat despite his fuckin lack of royal ancestry, he may be able ta use tha Foundin Titanz full "Coordinate" juice all up in physical contact wit a titan of royal blood.

Four muthafuckin years afta tha Battle of Shiganshina, a cold-ass lil conflict between Marley n' a cold-ass lil combined bitch ass sees tha emergence of conventionizzle weapons capable of defeatin Titans. Fearin tha military obsolescence of Eldians will lead ta they genocide, tha Warriors work wit tha influential Tybur crew, retainerz of tha Battle Hammer Titan, ta recruit global support fo' a resumed bitch ass on Paradis. Da crewz patriarch, Willy Tybur, holdz a rally up in tha Eldian ghetto of Liberio wit foreign dignitaries up in attendizzle n' reveals dat tha 145th Mackdaddy lamented tha Eldians' history, arranged tha fall of tha Eldian Empire n' would have allowed fo' his thugged-out lil' peoplez genocizzle had his will n' juice not been jacked. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Eren, havin infiltrated Marley on his own, confronts Reiner before assassinatin Willy Tybur as he labels Eren a threat ta ghetto peace n' declares war on Paradis. With tha aid of tha Survey Corps up in tha ensuin battle, Eren steals tha Battle Hammer Titanz juice n' Zeke defects ta Paradis. Eren n' tha Survey Corps return ta Paradis wit Zeke via airshizzle yo, but Erenz playa Sasha is capped by Gabi Braun, Warrior muthafucka n' Reinerz cousin whoz ass stowed away along wit her playa Falco Grice.

Flashbacks depict tha precedin four muthafuckin years on Paradis, durin which Zekez followers arrived n' introduced Paradis ta modern technologizzle n' tha thugged-out hood of Hizuru fo'sho. Through his wild lil' fuckin emissary Yelena, Zeke proposed passin his Titan juice ta Historia, which would enable Eren ta use tha Foundin Titanz full juice ta deta foreign invasion until Hizuru modernizes Paradis. Because playaz of Titan juice take a thugged-out dirtnap thirteen muthafuckin years afta they acquisition, tha proposizzle demanded dat Historia produce heirs ta ensure tha availabilitizzle of tha Foundin Titanz juice n' shit. Eren disapproved of dis arrangement n' instead infiltrated Marley ridin' solo n' without authorization, coercin tha Survey Corpss assistance.

In tha present, Eren is detained fo' insubordination n' his wild lil' playaz express doubt up in his fuckin loyaltizzles ta dem n' Paradis over Zeke, citin Erenz role up in Sashaz dirtnap. Well shiiiit, it is revealed dat Historia is pregnant, preventin tha Corps from immediately passin tha Beast Titan ta her n' forcin dem ta place Zeke under Leviz watch. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Suspected of arrangin Historiaz pregnancy ta prolong Zekez game, Yelena n' her followers is arrested. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! This type'a shiznit happens all tha time. Da militaryz leadaz distrust Eren n' plan ta relinquish his thugged-out lil' juice followin tha discovery of his secret correspondence wit Zeke n' Yelena, promptin nationalist rebels loyal ta Eren ta assassinizzle tha commander-in-chizzle. Eren escapes his cell n' seeks up Zeke alongside his supporters, now called tha Yeagerists, n' you can put dat on yo' toast. Meanwhile, tha Warriors infiltrate Paradis up in advizzle of a multinationistic counterbattle against tha island.

Da Survey Corps discover Cristal tainted wit Zekez spinal fluid has been served all up in tha military, enablin Zeke ta turn tha suckas tha fuck into titans wit his shout. Falco, whoz ass had escaped custody alongside Gabi, is inadvertently poisoned by tha dat schmoooooove alcatronic shit. Eren n' tha Yeagerists capture tha Corps along wit Falco n' Gabi n' travel ta Shiganshina. Zeke attempts escape by turnin his wild lil' freakadelic guardz tha fuck into titans, only ta be thwarted by Levi, whoz ass restrains Zeke wit a explosive weapon. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch fo' realz. A flashback reveals Zekez ulterior goal: brangin his dirty ass n' Eren together ta sterilize all Eldians rockin tha Foundin titanz power, peacefully endin tha Eldians' suffering. Desperate ta free his dirty ass before his thugged-out lil' juice is taken, Zeke willingly detonates his bangin restraint, severely woundin his dirty ass n' Levi.

Put ya muthafuckin choppers up if ya feel dis! But fuck dat shiznit yo, tha word on tha street is dat positizzle response ta tha manga n' anime has caused tha lyricist ta contemplate changin tha endin cuz of tha impact it could have on fans.[18][19]

On November 16, 2018, Isayama reported sayin dat tha final chapta is now up in pimpment n' did a thugged-out documentary bout dat shit.

Rebecky Silverman holla'd it "is both pimpin' n' appallin up in its visuals", n' "an pimpin mix of what tha fuck 18th century Gothic novelist Ann Radcliffe defined as horror versus terror: tha one is physical, makin you wanna look away, n' tha other is intellectual, makin you wanna know whatz goin ta happen next."[188] Carlo Santos noted dat "few [apocalyptic action shows] git as close ta perfection as Attack on Titan do". Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Santos busted lyrics bout it as "a masterpiece of dirtnap n' destruction" afta watchin only tha straight-up original gangsta episode.[189] Theron Martin of Anime Shit Network praised tha musical score n' tha "intense, impactful first episode" despite his wild lil' feelin dat it has "limited animation".

Because nuff of tha threats freestyled up in Japanese had grammatical errors, it is believed dat they was freestyled by playas outside of Japan.[195]
