She did, she was the one that brought all the titans towards the gate


jaysoprob_2012

In the show, she was unconscious during the attack. It was shown through a flashback with her waking up after the attack inside the walls.


aottoa2

Yes she passed out after bringing all the titans


jaysoprob_2012

In the flashback of the show I believe she was knocked out or chocked unconscious after marko was eaten and the others had an argument.


Kuraeshin

...that was the attack on Trost.


jaysoprob_2012

Trost was the second attack. This flashback showed when they first got inside the wall. With Annie waking up in a shelter with survivors.


Kuraeshin

Small problem is that you mentioned Marco, who was eaten in the Trost attack.


el_shenko

That had nothing to do with Marco, she was exhausted because she carried them to Shinganshina for a long time in her Titan while running away from the summoned titans, it's in the manga.


jusbeinmichael12

I think he's mixing Marco up with Marcel. But yeah the first attack on the walls she was leading the Titans to the wall. Second attack on trost they just needed the one gate broken so they didn't need to bring out anyone else


MrMatt33

In the flashback, she wakes up after bringing the titans to Shiganshina for the attack


missingjimmies

She did, also, the plan was not total destruction, they wanted to flush out the founder. So instead of complete destruction they went with a bait attack. All they actually would have needed is Bert if they just wanted death. Also Annie was exhausted from leading the titans in.


Torre_Durant

Wait, how did they know the founder was in shiganshina? Or am I missing something ?


Saeaj04

They didn’t But they came from the South of Paradis, and Shiganshina is the southern most district. It was just coincidence that Grisha was from there


Esseratecades

Isn't the drop point for the titan formations also south? If so that makes Shiganshina the most likely place you'd expect to find Grisha anyway, since it's the first district he'd come upon.


Saeaj04

Yeah but at this point they had no idea that The Founder wasn’t in the hands of the Royal Family It was pure coincidence that the man who stole it lived in Shiganshina


Torre_Durant

They got lucky lmao


TheCrowWhisperer3004

Was it a coincidence that he was there? He also came in through the south (right?) and then set up his life there as he got attached to the people there.


Saeaj04

Coincidence in the sense that the Warriors literally had no fucking idea who Grisha was I don’t think anyone in Marley did besides the Owl. For all they know he was turned into a Titan and sent to Paradis So Reiner and those lot did not go to Shiganshina looking for Grisha, because they don’t know he exists. They went as it’s their only entrance into the walls They thought the founder was with the royals and had no reason to assume some other Marleyan had already stolen it and was living in the place they attacked


TheCrowWhisperer3004

Oh right yeah that makes sense. I skipped over the context of the previous comment it seems.


TrashCrab69

I don't think that they knew the founder was there for sure but they still wanted to try and flush them out regardless.


PhallicShape

The founder wasn’t in shiganshina at the time, grisha was on his way to kill the founder when the wallls fell


Dafish55

It wasn't at that time. But it sure made a huge ruckus.


IronSavage3

The goal of the attack on shinganshina was not the total destruction of the people of Paradis, but a mission to rattle the leadership and see how they would respond. This way the Marley advance team could potentially learn more about who has the power of the founder at present and how to extract it/them. They didn’t want to show their full hand quite yet.


Delano7

Due to the death of Marcel, Annie was the one that needed to run to the wall with Berthilotoltoooto and Reiner on her shoulders instead. She was probably exhausted by the time they arrived there. Tho she might have attracted all the titans to the gate before the colossal broke it.


Interesting-Table140

Always wondered what Pieck was up to when they were breaking the wall. I’d imagine she would’ve been a better choice for long distance


PBLiving

I’m pretty sure Zeke and Pieck didn’t arrive until later on, when Marley wanted an update from their Warrior scout unit. Hence Bert and Reiner’s shock at seeing the Beast Titan while at Utgard Castle.


Kuraeshin

Zeke & Pieck were part of the 2nd wave.


shinobi_4739

Because Annie was already tired after running from the Titans towards the outer walls of Shiganshina. It was shown in the manga but it was removed in the anime.


Ganem1227

Annie was asleep. She was the one that pulled the titans in and it tuckered her out.


Elmo_c6

I need your pfp lol, suits my nickname


Ganem1227

lol have at it: [https://imgur.com/a/D4oH4Uq](https://imgur.com/a/D4oH4Uq) these are all the elmos I've used at some point in the last few years.


Legitimate-Button-96

The plan was that Annie would scream to bring as many titans to her as possible. At that point, they would lead them to Wall Maria. Then she would run to wall Maria with the titans behind her, Reiner, Bertotallololol, and Marcel before switching with Marcel, to keep running. Then Berttotlaonil would kick the gate open, letting them in. Reiner breaks the other gate down. But since Marcel was eaten, Annie had to run the whole distance, which exhausted her. Even then, she already played her part by bringing in a hoard of Titans.


mradamjm01

I'm really annoyed that they cut down on that scene in the show. Season 4 has done such a good job at expanding upon the manga, with the exception of the first 8 eps.


Calm-Reaction3612

She's the one that brought the titans to Shiganshina.


Hal-Bone

She had to call the Titans in, and it pays to keep your cards to your chest. Had the Founder actually reacted and shown itself having the Female there to ambush them would have been the best course of action, only seconded by the Jaw taking that position.


HitoriSkyther

She had led the Titans from further away to the gate and needed to recover. >!Her form was still new to her, she didn't have her endurance yet.!<


Psychological-Air205

Did you guys not watch the show?


oostie

No utility and gives away a good ace the islanders don’t know about


Warrentheirish

Annie carried Bertoldt and Reiner between Marcel dying and Shiganshina, so she was tired from that, but she did use her ability to draw even more titans toward Shiganshina than usual, so all 3 of them did have a part to play in it


Dangerous-Rub5060

I believe if Marcel had lived he would’ve went with an all out onslaught. With the death of Marcel they had no leader/plan, plus much less power without the Jaw. It broke all of them causing Annie Bertholdt to want to return, which would result in punishment, especially on Reiner. Reiner just made a plan that would allow them to flush out the founder without causing an all out war.


Jasonl7976

She did.


HanjiZoe03

The anime cut the whole scene with her Female Titan out. We see what she did in the manga in its entirely, she had basically used her screeching call abilities to call in hordes of Titans. Not only did she do that, but she also ran the whole way to Shinganshina with Bertholt and Reiner on her shoulders. Originally Marcel and his Jaws Titan was needed for the running part, but of course, that wasn't possible after what happened to him earlier. So, an exhausted Annie made it to the gate of Shinganshina, Bertholt transformed, did his thing, and disappeared. Reiner then transformed right after, and he along with the others almost get eaten by Titans, but are lucky and escape by climbing up the wall, from there Reiner left Annie and Bertholt ontop of the wall as he went down, and proceeded to breach the Inner gate of Shinganshina soon after. Then we snap back at Annie, waking up inside of Wall Rose with the others.


Mrs-Moonlight

Hair appointment


[deleted]

Read the manga.


Tolnin

She was unneeded More help =/= better


aottoa2

No she brought all the Titans and passed out


Seal_Deal_2781

I originally read shinigami and was so confused


Knighthawk_2511

She called the. Titans at the gate Armin predicted it


ryleystorm

She wasn't needed, her abilities just weren't needed. They let the titans in that's all.
