Original subtitles

Over 100 years ago, natural predators of humanity appeared.

There was an insurmountable gap in power between them and mankind,

and as a result, the humans soon faced utter annihilation.

The survivors responded by constructing three walls—Wall Maria, Wall Rose, and Wall Sina—

which graced them with 100 years of peace.

However...

They're the prey, and we're the hunters.

They're the prey, and we're the hunters.

"Until that time a wretched soul and parted/ From God was I, and wholly avaricious;

Now, as thou seest, I here am punished for it.

What avarice doth is here made manifest

In the purgation of these souls converted,

And no more bitter pain the Mountain hath."

Stop it!

Let me go!

"What more, O Avarice, canst thou do to us,

Since thou my blood so to thyself hast drawn,

It careth not for its own proper flesh?"

"What more, O Avarice, canst thou do to—"

Eren, what're you—

We were so close to saving Mom...

Don't think we're gonna thank you for this!

We were so close—

Get a hold of yourself!

Eren!

Eren,

you weren't able to save your mother because...

you lacked the power to do so.

But I...

I couldn't face the Titan because...

I lacked the courage to fight!

Forgive me.

Ah, it's happening again.

Hurry! Get to the inner gate!

We have boats anchored here!

We're evacuating Shiganshina!

Hurry up, or you're gonna get devoured!

Protruding districts like Shiganshina that are located at key points along the wall

act as a lure to attract Titans

in order to keep the costs for defense down as well as preserve military resources.

Accordingly, the inhabitants of Shiganshina became the Titans' targets

and were left with nothing but a single escape route.

We're saved, right?

Yeah.

All of you, abandon your possessions!

We'll get as many people as we can onboard!

Armin, sit down.

But Eren and Mikasa still aren't...

They're here!

Eren...

Leave them be for now.

The poor things. From the looks of it, they must've been...

What's taking so long?! Pick up the pace!

Where are the shells?!

H-Hurry up! They're right behind us already!

You're kidding me.

This is just...

My lord. My lord. My lord. My lord.

Hey!

Wait!

Hey, what are you doing?!

There's no more room!

It's departing!

No way! Please, let us on! At least my child!

Sorry, I can't.

Depart!

Please!

Let us on!

You retard, are you even aiming?!

B-But these aren't accurate enough to be reliable!

Forget about that right now!

Load another shell on the double!

We can't!

The gate's closing.

We're retreating...

We'll be left behind!

Hey!

Don't close it yet! Just wait a bit more!

There are still a lot of people on the other side!

If this gate is breached, we'll have a lot more to worry about than one town getting overrun!

Our territory will be reduced all the way down to the next wall!

Even so, it's no reason for us to leave the people in front of us to die!

Shut it quickly!

The Titans are coming!

Seal the gate, pronto!

Stop—

Hey!

What... is that?

Fire!

Not even a scratch...

It's coming! Retreat!

A Titan's coming!

It's gonna get through!

Quickly, shut the gate!

The gate was...

A few hours after the fall of Shiganshina, south of Wall Maria,

news spread to every single town in mankind's territory like wildfire.

Is it true?!

That Titans invaded Shiganshina...

Unbelievable.

Why now, when the wall has held for the past 100 years?

Whether you believe it or not,

the fact of the matter is, the people there have evacuated by ferry.

According to the report, there seems to be around 500 people onboard.

The real question is whether Shiganshina is the only district that fell.

But they couldn't have broken inside Wall Maria, could they?

At any rate, we'll contact Central for orders.

We should not be the only ones addressing such a precarious situation!

P-Pardon me!

We've just received some news!

It appears Wall Maria has been breached and the Titans have invaded!

It's over.

The end is near.

We'll be consumed by the Titans again.

The end...

We'll never be able to return to that house again.

Why... does that worthless fight have to be my last memory of it?

Mom's not around now.

She's gone for good!

Why?!

You lacked the power to do so.

Because I... Because humans are weak...

Do weak people have no choice but to just cry?

Those bastards... from this world...

Eren?

What's wrong, Eren?

Eren?

I'll exterminate them!

From this world... Not sparing a single one...

Eren?

That year, the central government handed down the decision

to reduce mankind's territory to Wall Rose.

During this time, the people devoured numbered around 10,000.

Eren... Carla... Mikasa...

Please be safe.

Eren! Eren! Eren! Eren!

Dad! Stop it, Dad!

What are you trying to do?!

Shut up and show me your arm!

No!

You lost your mind ever since Mom died!

Eren!

Let me go, Dad!

It's for your own good!

What are you saying?!

Listen, don't lose the key!

You absolutely must make it there!

Someday!

Until then...!

Eren?

Are you all right?

Did you have a nightmare?

I get the feeling I saw Dad.

Impossible. It must've been a dream.

You think?

Let's go.

I heard they're distributing food.

They said this is a warehouse for food.

Everyone who came on the ferries is gathered here.

Hey, line up like everyone else!

Shut up!

I haven't eaten anything since last night!

We're not in the clear just yet.

Eren! Mikasa!

Armin.

Here, this is for you two.

Grandpa got extra rations when he told them he had children to feed.

Thanks.

What's his problem?

It's only natural.

There probably aren't enough rations for everyone.

Not even a day's worth.

There are too many refugees.

There was already a food shortage to begin with.

You're aware that people who lived within the outer walls aren't treated well, right?

Why do we have to give our food to outsiders?

Having already broken past the wall, shouldn't they have snacked on more people?

Eren!

At this rate, the food shortage issue is only going to get worse.

What's your problem, you brat?!

You don't understand...

You haven't seen it with your own eyes!

The way Titans eat people...

Sh-Shut up!

We're sorry!

His hunger's causing him to become irritable.

That's why he's being so rude to an adult.

We're really sorry!

Jeez.

It's thanks to us that you're not dying of starvation!

Even kids should at least be appreciative of that!

Yes!

Damn it.

Like hell I'm gonna be indebted to people like him.

I'm going back... to Wall Maria,

and I'll slaughter any damn Titan that gets in my way.

Eren, you're just joking, right?

I'm not!

I'm different from those posers who cower behind the walls!

I don't need this!

Eren, you'll starve to death!

Don't you find it frustrating?!

Because we constantly depend on the pity of others, we're unable to defeat the Titans!

It's impossible. We don't have a snowball's chance in hell!

We have no choice but to live within the walls.

If you act rashly, you'll die, just like my mom and dad!

Is that why you suck up to those guys?!

Don't you have any pride?!

Right now... Right now, we have no choice!

That's just an excuse!

If that's how you feel, keep living like cattle for the rest of your life, you coward!

Mikasa?

If Armin's a coward, we're no different.

Whether it was escaping the Titans or leaving the city, neither was by our own strength.

We've even been provided with food for the day.

People who are as powerless as that stand no chance against even a single Titan.

Survival should be our main goal, just like Aunt said.

Mikasa?

Eat. Do it to survive.

I won't let you starve to death.

A few days later, many refugees were made to cultivate wasteland to boost food production.

However, as food shortages were still an issue,

during the following year of 846, under the pretext of a plan to recapture Wall Maria,

the central government enlisted many refugees.

They numbered 250,000.

It was proportionate to a fifth of the population, but only around a hundred people survived.

Those sacrifices improved the food shortage, if only a little, for those who survived.

It's all because of the Titans.

If we were to defeat them,

we could take back our rightful place in the world.

Armin, I'm going to apply for the Training Corps next year.

I'll build the strength necessary to fight the Titans.

Me too.

Armin?

Me too!

I'll join too.

Mikasa? You don't have to!

You said survival should be our main goal, remember?

Yes, so I'll be joining to keep you from dying.

All right, we'll all join.

We shall now begin the enlistment ceremony for the 104th Training Corps!

Unfortunately for you, I, Keith Shardis, have been assigned to be your instructor.

I have not the slightest intention to welcome you!

As you are now, you're all mere cattle who exist to fatten up the Titans!

You're nothing more than that!

We'll take you useless degenerates

and make something out of you over the next three years!

We'll drill the methods of fighting the Titans into you!

In three years, when you find yourself before a Titan,

will you still be mere prey?!

Or will you be an honorable wall that protects its king?!

Or perhaps a glorious soldier of mankind that exterminates the Titans?!

Decide for yourselves!

Yeah, I'll change.

I'll exterminate every last one of them.

Your dream is where my heart belongs.

Swearing vengeance against the titans, Eren joined the Training Corps.

But failing basic training, the reality that was thrust upon him was anything but sweet.
