He met Zeke while playing catch alone against a wall, and they became close, with him treating Zeke warmly.

He then passed on the "Beast Titan" to Zeke, completed his term, and ended his life. To Zeke, who had not received affection from his biological parents, he was like a father figure, and Zeke called him "Dad" when inheriting the "Beast Titan." From then on, Zeke wore his glasses as a memento. In Grisha's memoirs, he is seen calling out to a young Grisha who bumped into him on the street. In the final battle, he appeared as one of the past nine Titans resurrected by the Founding Titan, in the form of the "Beast Titan." Initially, he was a puppet of Eren and opposed Armin and the others, but he responded to Zeke's feelings after Armin reached the coordinate and cooperated in the defeat of the Founding Titan. This was also the first time his Titan form was revealed. His appearance model is Tomohiro Machiyama, who was responsible for the screenplay of the live-action film version. His birthday is also set to July 5th, the same as Machiyama's.
