what are the giants in attack on titan
Attack on Titan Over 100 years before the beginning of the story on an alternate world, giant human-shaped creatures called Titans (巨人, Kyojin) suddenly appeared and nearly wiped out humanity, devouring them without remorse or reason. What remains of humanity now resides within three enormous curtain walls: the outermost is Wall Maria (ウォール・マリア, Wōru Maria); the middle wall is Wall Rose (ウォール・ローゼ, Wōru Rōze, sometimes pronounced like rosé) and the innermost is Wall Sheena (ウォール・シーナ, Wōru Shīna, alt. "Wall Sina"). Inside these walls, humanity has lived in uneasy peace for one hundred years; many people growing up without ever having seen a Titan. This all changes when one day, a giant 60-meter (200 ft)-tall Colossus Titan mysteriously appears after a strike of lightning and breaches the outer wall of the Shiganshina district, a town at Wall Maria, allowing the smaller Titans to invade the district. An Armored Titan smashes clean through the gate in Wall Maria, forcing humankind to abandon the land between Wall Maria and Wall Rose, evacuating the remaining population into the inner districts. The sudden influx of population causes turmoil and famine.
Attack on Titan Armin ruminates with the still encased Annie. Historia is pregnant with her first child. Meanwhile, Falco and Gabi manage to break free from prison after disabling one of their jailers, and escape into the forest. Yelena and her followers are taken captive by the military government, and Levi escorts Zeke to a campsite in the forest. After Sasha's burial, the squad begins to question Eren's sanity and loyalty to them over the government and Zeke, despite Mikasa's insistence of him acting in their best interests. Armin suggests that he and Mikasa meet with Eren to prove his loyalty to Paradis island before the military finds someone trustworthy to consume him in the event that he is not.
