Squad Mike is an elite branch in the Survey Corps, appearing in the manga and anime Attack on Titan. They are led by the Squad Leader Mike Zacharias and are considered one the oldest and strongest division in the Survey Corps.

Duty[]

Just like all other squads in the Survey Corps, Squad Mike innately focused on investigating the world beyond the Walls, trying to expand the knowledge of the outside world while also fighting and eliminating Titans.

After the Fall of Wall Maria in the Year 845, Squad Mike changed their objective to now reclaiming all of the lost land, acting as an elite fighting force in the Survey Corps quest to seal the breached gate in Shiganshina.

Qualities[]

Squad Mike were considered to be one of the most elite soldiers among the Survey Corps, with their combat prowess making it easy for them to quickly kill numerous Titans, even when they are fighting in a limited space for the ODM Gear.

The exact number of soldiers in Squad Mike is unknown, but it’s assumed to have at best one Team Leader and Superior Officer, with several Squad Members working under them. At least two members in Squad Mike, Nanaba and Mike himself, are soldiers who fought for the Survey Corps even before the Fall of Wall Maria, making the Squad a very experienced and senior branch. Squad Leader Mike was also considered to be humanity’s strongest soldier next to Captain Levi Ackerman, meaning that Squad Mike was for an unknown amount of time humanity’s strongest fighting force.

Story[]

Background[]

It is unknown when Squad Mike was originally formed, but it was started when Mike Zacharius assumably swiftly rose through the ranks thanks to his superiority in the ODM Gear, became a Squad Leader and had enough soldiers under his command.

Squad Mike would participate in numerous dangerous expeditions outside the Walls, but thanks to the strong fighting prowess possessed by its members, many young recruits would survive and gain experience to become more elite fighters. With Nanaba being one of those soldiers.

Fall of Wall Maria arc[]

After the gates of Shiganshina District were breached by the Colossal Titan. All of the land inside Wall Maria was lost, causing humanity to be hit with not only huge casualties but also food and financial issues. The main objective of Squad Mike along with the rest of the Survey Corps would change into taking back Wall Maria, and Squad Mike would participate in all expeditions to make this objective successful.

Ilse’s Notebook[]

Two Years after the fall of Wall Maria during the 49th expedition outside the Walls, Squad Mike and the rest of the Survey Corps’ soldiers reside in a small, abandoned village inside Wall Maria. Mike is seen calmly sitting on the rooftops until he senses a peculiar smell, he concludes that a Titan is somewhere in the woods and shoots off a signal flare. Everyone is alerted but only Hange Zoe and the Special Operation Squad go after the Titan. After the Titan is killed and remarkable information is gathered from the deceased soldier Ilse Langnar, Squad Mike would eventually safely travel back to Wall Rose.

The Female Titan arc[]

After it was revealed that Eren Yeager had the ability to turn into a Titan, commander Erwin Smith developed a secret plan surrounding the idea that they could possibly be attacked by a Titan shifter during the upcoming expedition in Wall Maria. The plan would be to trick a Titan Shifter into following Eren to go inside of the forest of the giant trees and then trap the Titan by using the Special target restraining weapon. Erwin would, however, only tell this plan to the soldiers who have been a part of the Survey Corps for over 5 years, as Erwin considers them to be the most trustworthy. Mike Zacharius and Nanaba who are the most important members of Squad Mike, would be one of the few people who have been told of Erwin’s plan and agree do assist with it, while keeping it a secret from the rest of their comrades.

The Survey Corps depart from Karanes District into Wall Maria. It is unknown in what part Squad Mike would be placed in the long-range scouting formation, but it is assumed to be on the front lines in the left flank.

The Female Titan would eventually be successfully captured with Mike being one of the soldiers present during the apprehension. His comrade Nanaba would be put together with all the other oblivious soldiers, standing on the branches in the edge of forest. She was seen briefly talking to Historia Reiss, claiming that they have to stay put for a little while longer. Mike and Levi try to slash open the Female Titan’s hands who are covering the nape of her, but the hardening power of the Titan made their blades break instantly.

Once the Female Titan suddenly screams. Mike smells arriving Titans coming from every direction. Erwin orders for all the incoming Titans to be killed, if more members of Mike’s Squad were present, they would all assist in the slaying of the Titans together with their Squad Leader. The holder of the Female Titan would eventually escape in the ensuing chaos as the Titans devour her Titan’s flesh, causing Commander Erwin to give the direction for a retreat back to Karanes District.

It can be assumed that Squad Mike lost many soldiers during the expedition, as the Female Titan was capable of killing many Survey Corps soldiers before they trapped her.

Clash of the Titans arc[]

A day after the expedition, Commander Erwin orders all Survey Corps recruits from the 104th Trainee Corps to be put in secluded base where they are put on watch with Squad Mike supervising them. As Erwin assumes that anyone of them can be an accomplice to Annie Leonhart.

They are stationed in a sheltered Survey Corps headquarters in Wall Rose, where they stay for the coming day watch over the recruits, while Erwin approves of using three of said recruits, Eren Yeager, Mikasa Ackerman and Armin Arlert to try and capture Annie Leonhart, where a fight breaks out in Stohess District between Eren and Annie.

During the same day as the fight in Stohess, Mike Zacharias suddenly senses multiple Titans coming from south of their base. He quickly orders Thomas to give a report to Erwin Smith, stating that there can’t be anymore Titans within the 104th recruits, as Wall Rose has been breached with all of them still under their watch. Nanaba goes to the recruits and tells about the situation, she commands them to get on their horses so they can help Squad Mike to alert the nearby villages. Nanaba then goes to Mike and tries to theorize how a breach was possible. Believing that if a District got invaded it would surely been reported to them, causing her to conclude that they must have broken apart a whole in the Wall and then invaded. While Nanaba appears hopeless towards the position humanity is in, Mike makes sure that humanity has only lost once they stop fighting.

When everyone in the headquarters is ready to go, they ride away from the base, and Mike decides to split into 4 teams, one going to the south, one west, one north and one east, so they can efficiently evacuate all the citizens. Mike also decides to let Sasha Braus go towards the North and Connie Springer go to the east, as they were raised around these regions. Mike orders for his men to split up with Squad Mike and the recruits beginning to make the formation, but as the Titans reach their headquarters, they suddenly start running after the soldiers, confusing everyone. Mike decides to use himself as bait, so the Titans go after him instead, while leaving Gelgar in charge of the southern team. The soldiers of his squad aren’t font of his action, but Gelgar reassures them that his power is only second after Captain Levi, so they should have faith in him.

Mike would lead the Titans to go back to the headquarters and kill 5 of the 9 Titans before he decides to go back to the southern team, calling for his horse to come pick him up while he stands on the rooftop of the base. As his horse gallops back to him, Mike looks at a strange Beast-like Titan the walks near him but doesn’t appear to want to come close. Mike’s horse reaches the Headquarters but is suddenly picked up by the Beast-like Titan and is thrown at high speed towards Mike, knocking him from the roof and he is grabbed by a small Titan who begins biting in Mike’s legs. The Titan is ordered by the Beast Titan to stop, however. The Beast Titan tries to question Mike, but he’s left speechless by the fact that he’s hearing a Titan talk. The Beast Titan steals Mike’s maneuvering gear and leaves. Mike while being terrified, memorizes his encouraging words to Nanaba, Mike toughens himself and lets out a powerful yell, claiming to never stop fighting. But the Beast Titan simply tells the remaining 3 Pure Titans that they can do whatever they want with him. The Titans all launch towards Mike as he can only helplessly scream as he’s devoured alive. Permanently ending the leader of Squad Mike.

The soldiers of Squad Mike and the recruits would carry on with their mission in spreading the word throughout Wall Rose. 3 hours after the Titan were spotted, Sasha and a lone member of Squad Mike, part of the northern squad, alert any villages in the region. The Squad Mike soldier would eventually alert the citizens of the hunting village Dauper, where they would help the Survey Corps by giving people in the area horses as a means to escape.

Around 5 hours after the Titans were spotted, Tomas reaches Ehrmich District, the southern District of Wall Sina. He claims that everyone should start evacuating immediately, and that where the breach occurred is unknown. He quickly leaves, stating that he needs to report Commander Erwin about the situation.

Near this same time, Nanaba and the rest of the western team including, Henning, Ymir and Krista, are done with alerting all villages around their area and decide to go back south. Ymir protests this, stating that because she and Krista have no gear on them, that they have no way of fighting back if they were attacked. Nanaba reasons that they have to be present to possibly give a report if Henning and herself would be killed, and that they still need to figure out where the breach took place.

Around the same time, the southern squad led by Gelgar reach Connie Springer’s hometown of Ragako. The village is completely abandoned with most of the houses having been destroyed. Connie Springer does however find a lone Titan laying on top of his former home.
