The world of Attack on Titan is cruel and merciless, with more traitors to humanity than soldiers to defend it. No betrayal was more shocking to the fandom than Reiner and Bertholdt, who revealed themselves to be part of the race of titians filled with a singular goal to destroy the last remnants of humanity.

Reiner and Bertholdt were close friends with the main character Eren Jagger and were fan-favorite soldiers in the fight against the extinction of humanity.

Reiner was a super-strong warrior able to fend off armies of monstrous titans, and Bertholdt was a quiet but likeable nerd who even helped teach Eren how to use his ODM gear to move seamlessly through the battlefields.

Then out of the blue Reiner reveals that he and Bertholdt were the Armored and Colossal Titans, the very ones who destroyed the first wall surrounding humanity from the hordes of titians. An event that killed well over a quarter of the entire population living inside the walls, as well as Eren's mother.
