Villain Overview

If we'd never been born in the first place...we never would have had to suffer.
~ Zeke's suicidal outlook on life.
How sad... they haven't learned a thing from the mistakes of their past; it's a tragedy that King Reiss took the memories of the world away from them. Because of that, they make the same mistakes over and over again. I'm sure that by the end, they'll be sending every person inside those walls off on a suicide charge, from their elders to their children; they'll go on saying that if they're going to die anyway, they might as well die a proud death. It only proves how unimaginative and set in their ways they are... the little fools. Oops. I crushed it into dust, heh, what am I doing? What're you getting so worked up for? You're not like your father, remember? You need to find joy in every little thing. Now let's turn those soldiers into proud little chunks of meat.
~ Zeke as he is suicide charged by the Survey Corps.
What a beautiful day it is. I wish I had seen it earlier. I suppose...after all the killing I've done...that's too much to ask.
~ Zeke's final words before being killed by Levi.

Zeke Yeager, otherwise known as the Beast Titan or just The Beast, is the main antagonist of the Attack on Titan franchise.

He is the son of Grisha Yeager and Dina Fritz, who had him join the Marleyan military for their own agenda. He is the War Chief of the Warriors of Marley until his eventual betrayal, and the symbolic leader of the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers.

His Vice Chief Reiner Braun considered him to be the strongest Warrior and Yelena views him as a god and savior. Zeke is also the older half-brother of Eren Yeager, the nephew of Faye Yeager, a member of the Fritz royal family through his mother, and Levi Ackerman's arch-nemesis.

In Japanese, he is voiced by Takehito Koyasu, who also voiced Shinya Aiba in Tekkaman Blade, Dio Brando in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Nobuyuki Sugou in Sword Art Online, and Doji in Beyblade: Metal Saga, while as a kid, he is voiced by Daiki Yamashita. In English, he is voiced by Jason Liebrecht, who also voices Dabi in My Hero Academia.

Appearance[]

Beast Titan

Beast Titan

Zeke in Titan form is 17 meters in stature, larger than the common 15-meter Titan. While all other Titans seen in the story thus far have been distinctly human in appearance, Zeke's Titan form possesses more animal-like features, as the power of the Beast Titan is to assume the form of any different animal per holder. Zeke's form has ape-like features, and most of its body except for the face and torso is covered in fur.

In his normal human form, he has well-toned body, has wavy blonde hair along with a beard and mustache. He also wears the glasses of his mentor, predecessor and father-figure, Tom Ksaver. During his first stay on Paradis Island, Zeke grew his hair and facial hair out, but after returning to Marley, he sports a more clean-cut look with shorter hair and a thinner beard.

Personality[]

On the exterior, Zeke presents himself as a cheerful, mild-mannered individual who rarely loses his calm; however, he also hides his calculating Machiavellian tendencies, which he fully displays in battle. Highly intelligent and inquisitive, Zeke is a strategist able to plan and orchestrate long-term events, and is willing to ruthlessly cut down anything in the way of his ultimate goal. When it comes to warfare and politics, he prefers to gather enough information and assess a given context before acting. While he makes sure to formulate strategies and plans in advance, he leaves his enemies open-ended enough to be able to adjust them and adapt to unforeseen circumstances should they emerge. These traits make him an excellent tactician who has the deductive genius and the ruthlessness to carry out his ambitions.

He is also known to be very strong, efficient and ruthless. On the battlefield, he is commanding and very militaristic to the lower-ranking Warriors and has no qualms threatening them with death for disobedience or even abandoning them, as seen when he leaves Bertolt to die just to cut his losses, giving him only a respectful quick farewell. At home in Liberio, outside the war environment, Zeke's personality changes into his polite and warmer self, and is very pleasant, affable, patient, and humorous, with a sort of quiet charisma that made even the younger Warrior candidates like and trust him. Zeke is very humble as a person, and is respectful to his Marleyan superiors and never argues with them, unlike Colt Grice who often tends to voice his opinions and argue against orders.

Zeke tends to be callous and militant in battle, commanding his subordinates with an iron fist, as seen when he rejected Reiner's demands to rescue Annie by defeating him in a sparring match. He is a decent leader who does not tolerate insubordination; he crushes a Titan's head for ignoring him and threatens Reiner to have him fed to another Warrior if he keeps defying orders and loses another fight against him. Using his good deduction and thinking tactically instead of being sentimental, Zeke explained to Reiner and Bertolt that it was impossible that Annie was being tortured by the Military Police, because any wound would give her a chance to transform into a Titan, and correctly deduced that Armin was bluffing.

He also has a habit of cracking morbid, sarcastic jokes to emotionally detach himself from the cruel deeds that he commits, such as amusingly teasing Mike Zacharias as he fed the latter to a group of Titans and comparing his slaughtering of the Survey Corps at Shiganshina District as a perfect game of baseball. However, despite his savage actions, he is not explicitly sadistic as so much as he is simply indifferent to the damage that he causes.

Zeke is highly respected and liked by his comrades of the Eldian Unit, and even the Marleyan officers and executives show him a bit more respect. Despite not trusting Eldians and holding them in contempt, General Calvi valued Zeke's advice enough to follow it. However, Zeke is viewed as an enigmatic individual even by his own friends; despite being close to him, his successor Colt admitted he could never understand Zeke as a person, his Commander Theo Magath told him that he was still a complete mystery after knowing him for more than 20 years, and Pieck noticed how secretive he was and always felt that he was mostly telling lie after lie when he talked to his comrades.

Zeke is also a capable diplomat and cunning manipulator, capable of striking deals with enemy nations and dealing with politics, as shown by his ability to use the needs and desires of both governments of Paradis Island and Hizuru, forcing the former to rely on him to defend themselves from Marley's survey ships, and promising to the latter a monopoly of the island's resources in exchange of a collaboration with the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers and the Eldians. Zeke pointed out to Hizuru's envoy, Kiyomi Azumabito, that the Eldians do not even know about the true value of the resources as fuel anyway, giving Hizuru a chance to make Paradis give up their reserves for free in exchange of having Hizuru's government acting as intermediaries for peace with the world, turning the island into a colony for them.

Zeke does not seem to have much concerns for the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers, pawns from the military organized on his orders, and mostly uses Yelena as an equally disposable pawn, despite her adoring him, being fascinated with him, and taking pride for being a Marleyan who idolizes a Subject of Ymir. However, it is possible that Zeke might have respect and admiration for Yelena, as he trusted her to the point of sharing his euthanization plan with her, something he only does with people he knows he can emotionally connect with and trust, and Yelena is a Marleyan soldier. Overall, Zeke's opinion of Yelena is unknown, as he never openly expresses it, and it is only known that he gave her full authority to act on his behalf while leading the Volunteers and acting as his intermediary with Paradis Island's government. The only people Zeke ever genuinely loved were Tom Ksaver, his paternal grandparents, and his half-brother Eren Yeager whom he tried to establish a strong connection with. He openly and deeply hated his father Grisha, referring to him as a vile monster, and himself as his "former" son. While he is mostly emotionally detached from his neglectful mother Dina, Zeke was still quite saddened about her fate and blames Grisha for it, as he appears to paint his mother in a more forgiving light.

One of Zeke's more prominent traits is his over-reliance on his logical and utilitarian thought process. Zeke prefers to evaluate everything from a purely cerebral viewpoint to the point of actively distancing himself from his emotions and showing distrust towards sentiments such as love and honor. Though he cares for his grandparents and enjoys the company of his fellow Warriors, he is careful to not become too invested in his friends' well-being and is willing to betray and sacrifice them for his own goals, even the child cadets. His philosophy is made apparent when he pitifully scorns the Scouts' suicide charge in Shiganshina, criticizing what he believes to be their sentimental attachment to honor.

He finds the struggle of the citizens within the Walls pitiful, as they had all their memories of the world erased by Karl Reiss, which led them to be completely ignorant about the cruel reality and their real place in human society. Though Zeke's logical mind is part of what makes him a great strategist, it is also one of his weaknesses: his inability to empathize with the emotional aspects of the human psyche prevents him from being able to comprehend or factor them into his plans and manipulations. For example, his failure to gauge Levi's will and his overestimation of Levi's closeness to his comrades was what ultimately led to his second defeat in Chapter 113.

Following his betrayal on Marley for his greater good, Zeke still views his former comrades as friends and is sympathetic to their reasons for still fighting for their nation. Zeke feels he cannot confide his true intentions to neither Marleyan and Eldian Subjects of Ymir because he feels that both parties could never understand him, and would all still persist with hopes for a better future for themselves, rather than choose Zeke's solution. Zeke feels bad for having to fight his former comrades and shows some genuine care for them, as shown when he tries to have Gabi and Falco released from their prison cell when he asks Levi if he can bring them along in a forest of giant trees south of Wall Maria, as well as showing sadness when he thinks Pieck has been killed in battle. Zeke had a mentor and protégé relationship with Colt, always bringing him along in important meetings and even playing catch with him like he used to do with Ksaver. However, despite being fond of Colt, Zeke does not stop from activating his scream to transform all the Eldians affected by his spinal fluid, including Falco, although he feels remorseful for it and has a somber look in his eyes, and lowers his head in shame as he commands the Titanized Falco to attack Reiner, unable to look at the monster he made out of Falco and Colt's burned body.

Despite his dedication to rational thought, Zeke is not fully rational as he thinks and he is too influenced by his personal feelings. He is very negative and pessimistic and absolutely expects nothing good in life for Eldians in society, feeling they are doomed to suffer forever or be exterminated eventually. He has a nihilistic and antinatalist ideology, which was crafted from his life experiences, his own family, his life environment and his country's military, Marley's education and indoctrination, and from the world's system and history regarding the Subjects of Ymir and the role of their existence's in humanity.

Zeke's childhood was the main contributor of his development. As a very young child, he was enlisted by his parents into the military to become a child soldier and join the Warrior program to inherit one of the Nine Titans and cut his own future and life short for a political agenda. He was lonely and repeatedly mistreated and humiliated by his own father Grisha and by his then-chief overseer Magath, neglected by his mother Dina, mocked and singled out by his classmates for being weak, and hated and discriminated against by non-Eldian citizens for his blood. The only ones that showed him love and were close to him were his grandparents and the Warrior scientist Tom Ksaver. Despite having sold out his father and mother to the Public Security Authorities, Zeke as a child still sympathized with their goal to free the Eldian people, and therefore he continued to carry on his infiltration of the Warrior program to continue his parents' cause to secure the Eldians' freedom, although he could not see the point of it.

Due to repeated childhood trauma and stress under his demanding parents, who only wished to send him to war, and hostility that Marley and the rest of the world harbored towards him for his Eldian status, Zeke as a teenager started to develop an extremely nihilistic, suicidal outlook on life that caused him to believe that he would have been better off if he had not been born at all. Also the tragic fate of his own aunt Faye, mauled alive by dogs at the age of 8 for being an Eldian, as well as seeing how Eldian parents such as his own send children to be nothing but war machines whose innocence is taken, in hopes for better lives or ideals of a better future for Eldia, are likely contributing factors that led to Zeke's negative outlook on life. By the time of his late teens, Zeke believed that all his people would have been better off not existing, not just himself, and that the world would also be better without them. Furthermore, he started not seeing any reason to give value to life in general and ended up not seeing death as a big deal, wondering why is it so bad to die earlier, when eventually everyone will die anyway, making all the struggles of life worthless in his eyes, since the end result is all the same. However, he can still feel sorry for victims of war, including his own, and is capable of empathy.

Zeke found his life purpose with his mentor and father figure Tom Ksaver, a Titan researcher and a Warrior, as well as Zeke's predecessor Beast Titan. Due to his exploitation of his own power in his blood, Ksaver was able to discover much about Titans, the Subjects of Ymir, and even the Ackermans, more than Marley's other scientists ever did. However, he held secrets about the Coordinate's specifics from Marley as well, as he did not approve of their war games, and shared them only with Zeke. Ksaver sympathized with Zeke's views and encouraged them, as he suffered from guilt regarding his own family and had suicidal tendencies. Both Zeke and Ksaver viewed the Subjects of Ymir as a doomed and cursed race that is suffering from its evil past and corruption from the power of the Titans, which made them determined to fight for the benefit of most of humanity. The two made a plan to use the Coordinate from the Founding Titan to alter the biology of all the Subjects of Ymir in the world, and render them sterile so that they will be unable to give birth and will slowly die out in a century, finally ridding the world of the existence of the Titans. Like Ksaver did, Zeke views his mission as "saving humanity" and putting all the Eldians in the world out of their misery, which they called a mass "euthanization".

Zeke became the only person to know about his mentor's detailed discovery to awake the Coordinate's power. He expanded his ideology to encompass Subjects of Ymir in general, believing that all of their children are destined to suffer like he did and that it is his obligation to "save" them from existence. Thus, he feels no remorse for killing and Titanizing Eldians, because to him, he is saving their children from hatred and discrimination. Zeke holds a very pessimistic view on the prospects of Eldian redemption and rejects the idea of Eldian restoration, arguing that Eldia is still a threat to humanity and that "euthanasia" for its descendants is the only hope of salvation for his kind and humanity. Due to basing his whole life off of the belief that he must "free" all Subjects of Ymir from suffering, Zeke has developed a God/Messiah complex that he fails to be aware of. Yelena personally named him, however, the God savior of mankind and is ruthless to all who oppose him.

Zeke feels righteous and convinced himself to fight for the sake of the whole world and mankind, despite not actually being concerned with human beings as a whole and being indifferent with life in general, not just life for Eldians, and having no trouble involving non-Eldian civilians in war, including children, for his greater good. Influenced by the history they learned at school, Zeke and Yelena blame human weakness to power for the abuse of Titans and see their cause as the only answer and right thing to do to put the world at peace. They are concerned with Marley's "addiction" with the power of the Titans, and thus they made their dream to save mankind from becoming "cursed" like the Eldian Empire. This in their eyes will save both Marley and Eldia from a worse future; Eldia from either being reborn as a cruel self-destructing empire or being brutally exterminated, and Marley from meeting up a similar fate as Eldia. Zeke's self-proclaimed and ultimate goal is to save the world from the threat of Eldia, which can be achieved by erasing the Titans from existence, which in turn is only possible with the genocide of the Subjects of Ymir.

He often repeats this to rationalize his dream, although his and Ksaver's actual priority is to finally end the sufferings of the Eldians and their cruel lives in the internment zones, while Yelena is mostly concerned with marking her name in history. Zeke and Yelena are sympathetic to much of Karl Fritz's ideology, Zeke himself approving upon hearing Frieda Reiss stating that the only ones who need to die in the whole Titan conflict are the people of Eldia for being heavy sinners who made the world's 2,000 years dark history, and so they should embrace their doom and accept that they need to leave the world. Zeke disapproves of the actions Karl Fritz chose to take to deal with the Eldian problem and his neutrality instead of saving the world from the power of the Titans.

Ironically, for all of his insistence for rationality, Zeke's plan of Eldian euthanization to save humanity and Subjects of Ymir from each other stems from an irrational need to project his own self-loathing, and despite his demeanor as a calculating, collected mastermind, his true self is a broken man who is unable to move past the trauma and hurt that he received as a child. However, as extreme as it is, it remains a solution for humanity, in which the needs and wishes of the majority are satisfied over those of the minority. Because of this Hange Zoe, who values mankind and the world as a whole and not just her group, admits her feelings that objectively with all the options that Eldia could find, Zeke and Ksaver's euthanization plan was the best solution to help humanity, as the majority of the world was going to benefit for it, compared to Eren's option. Hange preferred Zeke's plan over Eren's decision to wipe out humanity outside the Walls with the Rumbling for the benefit of his small group of loved ones, which outraged her.

Zeke has also shown to be hypocritical, as he harshly criticized his father Grisha for putting his own family both in Marley and in Paradis at great risk over his own ideology and Restorationist mission, yet Zeke also does that himself by choosing to carry on his plans on Paradis Island after he discovered Eren's existence, putting his grandparents's lives on the line for conspiracy and high treason. After Zeke's betrayal of Marley is discovered by Magath, the government ended up seeing the entire Yeager family as guilty, due to Grisha, Zeke, and Eren's actions. Zeke's grandparents fell under suspicion from the government and were arrested by the Marley Public Security. Zeke, however, believes that his own cause is the objective greater good, as it rids the world of the existence of the Titans and ends the suffering of the Subjects of Ymir, whilst Grisha's original mission to restore the infamous Eldia was just reactionary evil and nothing but selfish nationalism, in Zeke's eyes. Because of Zeke's betrayal and failure to stop Eren, his grandparents could not get away from their jail cell in Liberio during the Rumbling, resulting with their deaths.

Zeke believes that both him and Eren are tragic victims of their father, and his brainwashing with his Eldian Restorationist ideology, nationalism and support of the brutal Eldian Empire. Because of this, as soon as he found out about Eren, Zeke made it a personal mission of his to "save him". Zeke's affection for Eren fades towards the latest chapters, after learning how Eren manipulated their father (and even Eren Kruger) to carry out the Restorationist mission by sending a few selected memories to the Attack Titan through the Coordinate, memories that were still future events for Eren's predecessors, causing the Attack Titan to have glimpses of the future. Zeke became disgusted at how Eren influenced their father into murdering the Reiss family, as well as manipulating him into following the path for Eldia's salvation, when it was only going to lead to the doom of Grisha and Zeke's own fellow people of their hometown Liberio. Upon finally receiving an emotional, regretful and desperate apology from Grisha, as well as receiving love and affection from him, Zeke finally manages to forgive his father after so many years of grudge, and abandons his attempt to make Eren join his cause. From that moment, Zeke views Eren as an enemy and Grisha himself begs him to stop him from initiating the Rumbling.

Zeke's character takes a turn after having been devoured by Ymir. Upon encountering Armin Arlert in the Paths, the two of them have a conversation, with Zeke explaining the origins of life and its purpose to multiply. When Armin asks Zeke to find a way to escape, he asks why bother continue fighting, musing that people would all have to die eventually and that in a person's death, they could achieve true freedom. After Armin replies and explains his past and the moments where he took the most joy, this makes Zeke remember the fun he had with Tom Ksaver simply playing catch.

It is here that Zeke comes to regain value in life, and while he still thinks that the euthanasia plan was the correct one, he would now choose to live again if it meant playing catch with Tom again. When his deceased former comrades and family arrive in the Paths, Zeke calls on them for help to stop the Rumbling, and decides to call to Levi to kill him in order to stop the Rumbling.

In his final moments, Zeke stares at the sky and gazes at his beauty, wishing that he'd realized it sooner, but then laments to himself that something that simple would be too much after all the people he killed, finally showing remorse for all the atrocities he committed and being able to move past the trauma of his youth, redeeming himself in the process.

Powers and Abilities[]

Powers of the Nine Titans[]

Zeke is a holder of one of the Nine Titans, and this results in him possessing the special powers of a Titan. The forms of the Beast Titan always vary through each person, always taking the appearance of an animal giant (like a bighorn sheep for Ksaver, avian features for Falco's hybrid Titan, and another okapi form). In Zeke's case, his form is a huge ape-like creature. However, because he is a member of the Fritz royal family, there are certain unique abilities that are exclusive only to him, and that none of the other non-royal Intelligent Titans have.

  • Superhuman Strength: As the Beast Titan, Zeke possesses great physical strength, sufficient enough to pick up a horse or even break off large chunks from Wall Rose and hurl them at a great distance away. When he got angry, he crushed the chunks of a large rock to dust with his bare hand.
  • Superhuman Speed: While Zeke's version of the Beast Titan may be slower than most of the Nine Titans, it is no pushover either. While he lost against Levi Ackerman in terms of speed, Zeke was fighting an incredibly experienced Ackerman and not an ordinary soldier, thus, had he reacted the same way he reacted with Levi but with an ordinary soldier in the latter's place, the Beast Titan's hand would have swiftly crushed the soldier. By Zeke's own admission, he was skeptical about the strength of Ackermans, whose deeds were only documented in legends told by the Eldian Empire.
  • Superhuman Endurance: As an Intelligent Titan, Zeke's durability is highly enhanced, but not on par with the likes of the Armored or War Hammer Titans, although the latter's power consumes too much energy and causes quick exhaustion.
  • Regenerative Healing Factor: Like the rest of the Titans, Zeke is able to regenerate almost all kind of wounds very quickly. In one occasion, he escaped his death when a Pure Titan created by himself showed up and put his nearly destroyed body in its stomach, successfully regenerating Zeke.
  • Hardening: Like most of the Nine Titans, Zeke is able to harden his Titan body at will to protect himself from attacks. However, this ability needs some time to prepare; during his brief battle with Levi, Zeke tries to harden the nape of his neck but was unable to due to Levi's increased speed and attacking before Zeke had enough time could harden himself. While offering ample protection, the amount of hardening used by Zeke during his second confrontation with Levi could be damaged and destroyed with the use of Thunder Spears, unlike the hardened shell made by Lara Tybur in battle, while modern anti-Titan artillery from the other nations beyond Paradis is capable of destroying all types of hardening.
  • Speech: Unlike most other Intelligent Titans, whose jaw bones and lips are either not properly shaped for talking, he is able to fluently speak without issue in his Titan form, casually questioning a terrified Mike for information of the 3D Maneuvering Gear. Other than Zeke's Titan, other Titan forms shown being capable of speaking are those of Pieck, Lara, and Ymir, though Ymir struggled to do it.
  • Long Arms: The Beast Titan's overly long arms greatly benefit Zeke as he combines them with his excellent throwing abilities, making his Beast Titan the ideal artillery unit.
  • Abnormal Titan Creation (Royal blood ability): As a member of the Fritz royal family, Zeke can make a number of Subjects of Ymir consume his spinal fluid and later turn those Subjects of Ymir into unique Abnormal Pure Titans (who can move at night with moonlight and perform unusal agile movements) with a scream. However, these Subjects of Ymir must be in his screaming radius to be successfully turned into Titans, otherwise, they would only feel an electrical surge but the transformation would not take place.
  • Abnormal Titan Control (Royal blood ability): All Subjects of Ymir who are turned into Titans with Zeke's scream fall under his control, linked to his Titan's royal blood via Paths, and all his orders are sent directly from the Founder's Coordinate. However, his control over his Titans is not always absolute, as the Titan that was biting Mike continued to do so after Zeke ordered it not to.

Regular Abilities[]

  • Genius-Level Intelligence: While his Titan abilities certainly make him a formidable foe, Zeke's true power is his exceptional intelligence, which his official stats rank as being 11/10. He demonstrated his skills many times, such as when he is able to accurately deduce that the Survey Corps were not actually torturing Annie and that Reiner and Bertolt should focus on their mission to retrieve the Coordinate. He also has been manipulating both Paradis and Marley into trusting him for years, despite not truly serving either nation. Despite this, however, Zeke is not without weaknesses: in the process of executing his plan he tends to be carried away by emotion and underestimate his foes, leading him to defeat on more than a few occasion. His continual misjudgement of Levi Ackerman had almost killed him at least twice. Additionally, due to having grown up without love of family he is seen desperately craving it, in contrast to his seemingly ice-cold demeanor. This is especially true as he is determined to 'save' his half-brother Eren from Grisha's 'brainwashing' and rally him to his 'cause', even when it became clear that (in chapter 120) Eren has absolutely no intention of wishing to be saved of this supposed "brainwashing" by openly denouncing Zeke's goal as ridiculous and declaring in Zeke's face that he was the one who had been taking advantage of Zeke through crafty manipulation.
  • Various Military Skills: As the best Warrior of the newest incarnation of the Warrior Unit, Zeke possesses great analytical and tactical military insight. His skill is such that he is even allowed to participate in meetings with the Marleyan military high command and when he voices his opinion about the matter of Paradis Island, his opinion is taken into consideration by General Calvi despite Zeke being an Eldian.
  • Great Fighting Ability: Zeke seems to be a very formidable fighter, since he was able to defeat the Armored Titan and inflict him considerable damage without sustaining any visible injury. He is also mentioned as "the strongest Warrior" by Reiner.
  • Throwing Ability: His throwing ability is second to none, being a direct result of his pitching skills and baseball and catch hobby he used to play with Tom Xaver, who is the former Beast Titan and claimed that Zeke always had a natural talent for throwing. Used as the Beast Titan, such ability becomes devastating to humans, hardened Titans, and even all kinds of sea and aerial ships. In Titan form, he can throw projectiles to great distances, creating a visible sonic boom when he throws boulders or explosive shells, effectively throwing them faster than over 700 feet per second. He is capable of destroying even entire naval fleets throwing explosive shells, or destroy airship fleets with boulders. He also seems to possess dexterous hands, as he managed to retrieve Mike's vertical maneuvering equipment, while in Titan form, without damaging him or the equipment.
