What is The Rumbling in Attack on Titan?
The Rumbling was a weapon of last resort designed by Karl Fritz whereby someone would use the power of the Founding Titan would unleash the hundreds, if not thousands, of Colossal Titans, used to build the walls on Paradis Island.
These Titans would then walk across the world, crushing the entire world, quite literally, beneath their rather large feet. The Rumbling was never intended to be used, as Karl knew that using it would result in the genocide of the human race. Still, it served as a useful deterrent, similar to nuclear weapons, and stopped the people of Marley from attacking Paradis Island.
Unfortunately, Fritz never bet on Eren Yeager gaining the power of the Founding Titan, and so great was his hatred for the people of Marley that he, with some help from his brother, instigated The Rumbling, bringing death and disaster to the people of the world.
