"Attack on Titan" continues to reveal the past with its latest chapter. As it provides additional insight on what happened in Paradis Island outside the walls, how these details were learned are also revealed.

"Attack on Titan" is already on chapter 87 and the manga is already available online via Manga Stream. The chapter chronicles Grisha's regret on treating Zeke as someone that he can use instead of treating him like a son. Grisha sees his betrayal to his family is akin to his experience in the past as he also rebelled to his father's ideals after knowing their past.

Because of Zeke's betrayal, Grisha was tortured relentlessly to reveal the spy called "Owl." Because he has no information of the spy, he could not provide any information. Grisha was blindfolded and boarded on a boat to Paradis Island.

Grisha meets the officer who killed his sister, Gross at Paradis Island. He revealed his despise to the Eldians as they were pushed into the island after being injected with titan serum. One person was pushed to the island without being injected and he was immediately devoured by the wandering titans.

Grisha's wife Dina was also injected with the serum. It was then revealed that Zeke dreamed of these events where he later realized that the smiling titan who ate his mother was his father's first wife, Dina.

Gross chose not to transform Grisha into a titan but selected him as one to fight an Eldian with only ¾ of the serum. But before Gross could push Grisha down the island, another officer steps in to push Gross instead. The person who pushed Gross (who was eventually devoured by a titan) is named Kruger and he reveals himself as the Owl.

The chapter ends with Kruger showing Grisha the true power of the titans as he destroys the Marleyan ships docked in Paradis Island.

The Reddit comments on the latest chapter of "Attack on Titan" reveals the importance of the latest chapter. Everything has come full circle now that the events of the past explained their previous encounters. Among them is the source of Eren's power from Dina and Owl's influence on Grisha on how to use the real power of the titan.
