The storyline features a "oddly garbed woman named Ada" who charges the characters with traveling into the Crystal Cave—a key location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her friend from a hidden cult. The mission centers on "strange trials and a fearsome enemy" and is open to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character.
