Marleyan Raid on Paradis (Battle of Shiganshina 854)
Marley launches a surprise air attack on Shiganshina to capture Eren. Eren and Zeke try to reach each other to make contact, while Reiner, Pieck and Porco attack him. Zeke's scream turns those who drank his spinal fluid into Titans, including Falco.
