Who is Azumabito in Attack on Titan?

Attack on Titan recently dropped the much-awaited Episode 10 of Season 4 Part 2. And after watching the episode, fans wonder how the Azumabito is important for the group trying to stop Eren. Well, here’s everything you need to know about it.

The latest episode of Attack on Titan finally featured some action as Armin, Mikasa, and everyone else fought against the Yeagerists. At first, Annie and Reiner suggested that they should fight the Yeagerists straight on without worrying about the casualties. After that, they can easily take the boat, and Onyakopon can pilot the ship alone.

However, Pieck suggested that even with Onyakopon, it would be impossible to fly the boat. For that, they need the Azumabito alive.

The Azumabito in Attack on Titan Explained

In Attack on Titan, the Azumabito is an influential family that branched from the Shogun Clan. Interestingly, Shogun Clan was a close ally to the Eldian Empire when the walls were built. A member of the Shogun Clan was a close friend to King Fritz.

However, after the King erased memories of the Eldians, that member and his bloodline were thrown out of the walls. The bloodline that stayed within the walls was hunted down, including Mikasa’s clan. Well, the clan that settled outside the walls later became the Azumabito clan.

Interestingly, the same Azumabito family is responsible for the technology behind the flying boat. Like it was suggested in the episode, Onyakopon can easily fly the boat. However, it would be impossible to get the ship ready without the Azumabito mechanics, who were trapped with Kiyomi by the Yeagerists.

So, Mikasa and others decide to save Kiyomi so that the Azumabito mechanics would help them to prepare the boat.
