Allies and enemies

Spoilers for seasons 3 and 4

The Warriors among the cadets: Reiner, Bertholdt and Annie spend years infiltrating the army of Paradis. Marcel Galliard, Porco’s brother, belonged to that group as well but never reached the Walls.

The alliance: in the final part Mikasa, Armin, Jean, Connie, Levi, Hange, Reiner, Annie, Pieck, Falco, Gabi, Onyankopon and Yelena fight side by side — every one of them someone who once wanted the others dead.

The rift: Floch and the Yeagerists bend Paradis to Eren’s will; Historia remains queen but is pushed aside.
