3. Hanji Arranged the First Titan-Capture Expedition

Given Hanji’s extreme obsession with Titans, this isn’t that surprising. When Hanji was carrying out a recon mission in the OVA that follows Ilse Langnar, Erwin Smith gave Hanji permission to carry out the first Titan-capture expedition, with the purpose of conducting research.

Hanji and the others expected to capture a particular Titan that has been seen roaming around the woods outside of the Walls. Hanji and the squad didn’t manage to capture the Titan, yet they found a notebook written by a dead soldier named Ilse Langnar, which contains important info about the Titans.

4. They Knew the Human-Titan Connection Long Before Knowing Eren

In Season 3 of Shingeki no Kyojin, Eren Yeager has learned a secret that all Titans were originally humans. As it turns out, Hanji Zoe actually knew about it, long before Eren. Hanji found out about this from reading Ilse Langnar’s notebook, in Shingeki no Kyojin’s OVA.

During their expedition in the OVA, Hanji stumbles upon a notebook left by a dead soldier. The notebook mentions a Titan who can speak. The Titan said, “People of Ymir” before biting off Ilse’s head and placed her body inside a tree hollow.

Hanji had little to no knowledge about the Titans’ background before they came across the notebook. But soon after that, they found out that Titans were once humans.
