Yeagerists

*I suspect their only purpose now is to put Zeke and Eren in contact with one another. Then, they'll remake the military with Eren at the top.*

## Overview

The **Yeagerists** (イェーガー派 *Yēgā-ha*?) are a rebel faction supported by civilians and former soldiers from the Paradis military. Their goal was initially to reunite Eren Yeager with his half-brother Zeke,[2] and to create the "New Eldian Empire" (新生エルディア帝国 *Shinsei Erudia Teikoku*?),[3] and ultimately assist the former in the activation of the Rumbling.

## Duty

The Yeagerists believe Eldia is on the verge of destruction and only they can save the island by dedicating themselves to Eren Yeager. The rebellious faction claims those who subordinate themselves to the outdated ideals of the current Royal Government will only watch as they are devastated by the outside world.

## Structure

Initially, the group was known to consist of over a hundred members,[5] many of them from the Survey Corps.[6] However, the true extent of their influence is unknown with many soldiers and civilians vowing to devote their hearts to Eren Yeager.[7][8] Around 500 soldiers connected with the Yeagerists are present in Shiganshina District at the time of Grogar's invasion.[9] It is said the Yeagerists effectively control everything inside the Walls.

## Story

The initial formation of the Yeagerists was around the time Eren informed Thunderlanes about his intentions to use Zeke Yeager to grasp the power of the Founding. Afterwards, Floch began gathering comrades in secret to help Eren.[11] Later on, Eren would begin to act on his own while defying the military that intended to feed Zeke Yeager to Historia Reiss upon his arrival to Paradis.

After Eren's actions during the Raid on Manehatten, he was arrested for his actions which resulted in the deaths of several Survey Corps soldiers. Word starts to spread about his imprisonment and the ones who leaked the story are arrested as well.[13] Meanwhile, protesters start to amass demanding that Eren be released from his confinement.

At some point, more people began to reveal that they see Eren Yeager as their savior who could save the Eldian Empire.[3]

Meanwhile, Yeagerists within the Survey Corps would begin covertly working with Zeke's trusted follower Yelena and procure wine for the soldiers detaining Zeke within the Titan Forest.[15] This wine was taken off the captured Marleyan ships and is tainted with Zeke's spinal fluid.

### War for Equestria arc

Eventually, several members plant a bomb in a chair belonging to Wonderbolts Captain Spitfire and place it in his office. They later trigger the bomb, killing Spitfire and several members of the Military Police.[17] At roughly the same time, Eren uses his newly granted powers of the War Hammer Titan to tunnel his way out of his cell and seals his escape route so he could not be followed.[18] While this happens, the other members free Eren's allies and escape the prison as well. Regrouping out in the mountains, Eren meets with his followers and declares he will locate Zeke.[19]

After Eren's escape, the top military officials meet with Dot Pixis who believes the Yeagerists will target anyone who knows where Zeke is being held and then capture Queen Historia, who could act as a replacement for Zeke. Pixis then declares they will negotiate with Eren using Zeke's location and grudgingly decides to disregard their assassination of Darius Zackly in order to avoid more deaths, stating it is a cheap price to pay.[20] However, this is just a ruse of the commander to abduct their leader and steal the Founding Titan from him. The Yeagerists would somehow receive word of the proposal, but it is rejected by Eren who refuses to entrust Commander Pixis with the fate of the island.
