Many characters have died over the journey of Attack on Titan, which can be hard to remember each death where the latest episode of the series proves  we should be looking at each one twice which turns out that one of the early character deaths in the series has a dark secret behind is Marco Bott's death during the first season was chalked up as one of the many victim of that first horrifying battle with the Titans. 

In Episode 52 of the series, which unveil that Marco overhears a conversation between Reiner and Bertholdt about how to attack humanity When Eren’s Titan form was going to be used to plug a hole in Wall Maria, Reiner and Bertholdt were wondering whether or not to influence but Marco tried to laugh this off as a joke. He overhears them talking about their Titan powers, that quickly pieces together that Reiner and Bertholdt must be transforming into Titans like Eren was able to.

Their secret discovered, Reiner, Bertholdt and Annie pin Marco down and take away his maneuver gear which rather than kill him themselves, the three of them watch as Marco is slowly killed by a Titan. Each of them is stunned by what they just had to do to someone they have bonded with over the last few weeks which its hint at the kind of feelings each of them had when they turn out to be traitors later in the series.

Marco actually figured out one of the series' biggest twists before that was officially unveiled, and thus killed for it. While his death came and went in the series initially, this latest episode proves that Reiner and Bertholdt's plan goes far beyond the initial attack on Wall Maria that we here witnessed at the start of the series.
