Overview
Marley arc, rendered Māre-hen in Japanese, is the anime's tenth story arc and covers episodes 60 through 68, nine in total. It follows Return to Shiganshina arc and leads into War for Paradis arc, adapting the manga arc that shares its name. The setting departs Paradis Island for the nation of Marley across the sea.
Summary
With its Titans deployed as weapons, Marley finishes off the Mid-East Allied Forces, but the win exposes more than it settles. Conventional arms are closing the gap, and the Marleyan military understands that Titan power alone can no longer secure its position in a modernizing world. Only the Founding Titan can preserve the nation's grip, and that power rests with Eren Jaeger and the last Eldians on Paradis Island, the people Marley condemns as devils. For Reiner Braun, this means steeling himself to face them once more.
The arc runs from The Other Side of the Sea through Brave Volunteers, with episodes including Declaration of War, The War Hammer Titan, and Assassin's Bullet along the way.
Aftermath
War for Paradis arc comes next in the anime's continuity, escalating the conflict between Marley and Paradis Island.
