In the Liberio internment zone, Eldian prodigy Roger Eikam—once the front-runner to inherit the Jaw Titan—has his future destroyed when Porco rams him off a cliff during training, leaving him crippled and disqualified by Marley’s ruthless standards. Roger clings to one hope: saving his cancer-stricken grandmother with the privileges that come with Titan power. When she’s “disposed of” by Marleyan soldiers under a plague pretext, his grief hardens into vengeance.

The current Jaw Titan inheritor, Anderson (disillusioned with Marley), quietly offers Roger a forbidden path: attend the official inheritance ceremony with a syringe of Titan spinal fluid and seize the Jaw Titan amid the chaos. Meanwhile, officer Magath—who recognizes Roger’s terrifying talent—locks down the site, and candidate Marcel reveals a devastating twist: Anderson allegedly pre-exposed Roger’s plan to the military. Torn by betrayal and rage, Roger pushes past despair with unexpected help from a loyal, naïve Reiner, who literally carries him to the outskirts to witness the ceremony.

Cornered at the handover ground—where the six chosen heirs (Bertholdt, Annie, Marcel, Reiner, Pieck, Zeke) await—Roger injects the fluid. The transformation detonates like a blast: an unprecedented giant rises, dwarfing tents and shaking the earth. Even Zeke and Ksaver are stunned, recognizing the size as something beyond a normal Colossal Titan. As Anderson submits to his fate and urges Roger to “carry my will,” the ceremony explodes into pandemonium, and Roger’s vow crystallizes: if Marley still stands in ten years, it means he’s already dead—because he will make them all feel the pain they inflicted.
