Warrior Candidates

Chosen children destined to become monsters to save their dying nation.

The Warrior Candidates were a select group of Eldian children raised within the internment zones of Marley, a nation on the mainland which declared war on Paradis. Their purpose was to inherit one of the Nine Titans, serving as living weapons for Marley's military. Selected from the internment zones, these youths underwent brutal physical and psychological conditioning to prepare them for the life-or-death struggle that awaited them upon inheriting a Titan power.
