Episode 46: Erwin justifies his decision not to evacuate Orvud District as a ploy to draw the abnormal Rod Reiss Titan into a trap. However, as the Titan approaches, the first defensive line of cannon fire has little effect.
Meanwhile, Eren punishes himself for being too weak, just being influenced by events around him. The Titan eventually reaches the wall, its face and chest worn off from crawling across the ground. The Scouts then implement their own plan; Eren changes into his Titan form and plunges barrels of gunpowder into the Titan's gaping mouth to weaken it, then the Scouts attack and Historia manages to destroy the weak spot at the nape of its neck. The Titan is stopped, and in the ensuing explosion Historia is thrown into the city. When she recovers, she declares that she is Historia Reiss, the true ruler of the walls. Back at the Reiss estate, a dying Kenny recalls his past including his meeting with Levi. He is later found by Levi who notices that Kenny has a syringe of Titan serum by his side.
Episode 47: As he lays dying, Kenny Ackerman recalls his capture years earlier by Uri Reiss in his Titan form; how he then pledged loyalty to the family after Uri begged his forgiveness for persecuting the Ackerman family; how he brought up his dead sister Kuchel's son Levi, teaching him the ways of a killer; becoming leader of the clandestine Anti-Personnel Control Squad; wondering what it would be like to possess the power of a Titan.
Kenny then explains to Levi why he has not injected himself with the Titan serum and Levi presses Kenny to reveal what he knows about Titans and his own family. With his dying words, Kenny reveals that he is Kuchel's brother before handing the package containing the serum to Levi. In the capital, Historia Reiss is crowned queen and Levi is there to congratulate her and thank the Scouts for their effort in killing the Rod Reiss Titan. Meanwhile, the Beast Titan, defeats Bertholt and Reiner and tells them to regain the Coordinate power.
