Original subtitles

Go for it, Eren!

Year 850:

For the first time in history,

mankind recaptured its territory from the Titans,

but at a great cost.

Now then, I accept all of you that remain as new Survey Corps soldiers!

This will be a true salute!

Offer your lives!

Sir!

You've all done well to suppress your fear.

Every one of you is a brave soldier.

You have my deepest respect.

A month later,

the Survey Corps departed from Karanese District

under Erwin Smith's command

in an attempt to find a route to Shiganshina District,

where the Titans' secrets are thought to be held.

We now begin the 57th expedition!

Advance!

A 10-meter-class approaching from ahead, on the left!

While I'm quite interested in the contents of its stomach,

I'll leave this to the support squad!

Damn.

Too shallow.

Defend the ranks!

Don't falter!

Leave it to the support squad and advance!

Forward! Forward!

The support squad will only escort us to the old town area.

Beyond that is all Titan territory.

All we can count on is the long-distance scouting formation Commander Erwin devised.

This is where we of the special-ops squad will be.

Oluo, can they...

Can my comrades beat the Titans?

Huh?

What the hell have you been doing this past month?

Listen, you damn brat.

During an expedition,

the point is to avoid the Titans if possi—

Assume the long-distance scouting formation!

Later, Armin.

Don't wet yourself even if you run into a Titan!

Right.

Same to you.

The vanguard will form a semicircle.

Although we're spread out,

stay within eyesight of someone on all sides,

in fixed distances from one another.

Extend survey and relay range as far as possible.

We'll be fine.

Calm down.

The vanguard scout squad encounters the Titans most often.

Upon sighting a Titan, they'll fire a red smoke signal.

Soldiers that see it should relay it by firing one of the same color.

After observing the signals to determine the Titan's position,

the Commander will fire a green smoke signal

that will indicate the formation's new course.

Thus, the entire formation can advance to its destination while avoiding the Titans.

However, terrain or obstacles can delay a sighting,

which may allow Titans to breach the formation.

Red... Red smoke signal...

Blouse! This way!

Damn!

Looks like we missed one.

Let's draw it toward us.

Blouse! Come this way!

I'll handle it.

Withdraw!

Sir!

Squad Leader...

Get back in position!

He's out of gas.

Something's strange...

It's been a while since the red smoke signal was fired,

but we've yet to regroup.

Don't tell me...

Note that the methods I've discussed are

only for use against easily predictable, normal Titans.

A black smoke signal?

Is one ignoring nearby people and heading straight for the formation's center?

There's no doubt about it.

It's...

an Abnormal!

Combat is only necessary against Abnormals, which are unpredictable.

Damn, guess we have no other choice.

Sys, you get its nape!

I'll stop it in its tracks!

Roger!

Fighting with the device on level ground is clearly unfavorable.

The chance of success is extremely low,

but I can't risk having the formation torn apart.

Arlert should be over there.

I don't want to let a new recruit run into one of these.

We'll kill it here!

Now, Sys!

Squad Leader Ness did it!

We got it, huh?

You came for me?

That's why you're my favorite.

I love you, Shallot!

Again?

What's the right flank scout squad doing?

If it ignored them and came this way,

then it must be an Abnormal too.

Here we go again.

Sys, let's do it once more.

Sir.

But really, to think we have to do this twice in a row...

And it looks like it's a 14-meter-class at least.

This one will be tough.

What's that?

It's so fast!

Don't let it get to Arlert!

Sys!

Sir!

No, wait a minute.

That's not an Abnormal.

It has intelligence!

Like the Armored Titan, Colossus Titan, and Eren...

It's a human controlling the body of a Titan!

Wh-Who is she?!

Why?!

This is bad. What do I do?

I'll die too.

I'll be killed!

Go! Run away!

What is she...

No, what are they...

aiming for?

Someone tell them...

The right flank survey squad has been all but wiped out.

A female Titan brought a large army of Titans.

Is anyone here?

She's not going to kill me?

What just happened?

She took off my hood...

and looked...

at my face?

Armin!

Reiner!

Hey, can you stand?

Well, for starters, you're dead meat if you don't have a horse outside the walls.

Hurry!

Right!

I saw a smoke signal for Abnormals...

Was it for that one with the nice ass?

She's not an Abnormal.

She's a human controlling a Titan's body!

What?!

Wait a second.

I should fire a smoke signal first.

Q-Quickly...

I have to let them know...

with a smoke signal...

Wait.

Looks like Jean fired one.

From the right flank?

Does that mean we got hit so bad we can't continue?

It seems we lost part of the right flank scout squad.

Hordes of Titans came.

And I don't know why,

but a lot of them are extremely agile.

They're somehow being held back for now,

but the formation can't function.

Many have died already,

and if we're not careful, all of us will!

That's the same direction she came from.

No way...

Was she leading the Titans here?

"She"?

Why is a Titan over there?

Is it an Abnormal?

No, that's wrong.

She's a human controlling a Titan's body.

Someone with the same power as Eren.

What?

Armin, what makes you think that?

Titans merely prey on people.

People die as a result,

but the act of killing isn't their intention.

But in her case, the moment her vitals were targeted,

she flung Sys to the ground, crushing him.

She didn't kill to consume, but for the sake of killing.

In that regard, her very nature is unique.

When the Colossus Titan and Armored Titan destroyed the walls,

she must've been the one that brought all the Titans.

Their goal has always been to attack mankind!

Wait, maybe not.

I get the feeling she's looking for someone.

Assuming that's true, she must be searching for...

Could it be Eren?

Eren?

But the Levi Squad, which Eren's in,

should've been in charge of the right flank that she passed through.

The right flank?

The plans I got had them around the rear of the left flank.

But mine had them around the front of the right flank.

Well, there's no way they would've been put so far ahead.

Then where are they?

Most likely in the safest spot of this formation.

So I guess they're somewhere in the center rear.

Armin!

We don't have time to think right now.

It's impossible for us to signal how dangerous it is with smoke signals!

Before long, even the command squad will be destroyed.

If that happens, the formation will fall apart and everyone will die.

What are you getting at?

In other words,

at this distance, we might still be able to draw her attention.

We can buy time until everyone has withdrawn.

At least... I hope we can.

She really is intelligent.

To her, we're literally nothing more than insects.

We'd be crushed by even the slightest blow.

Seriously?

That's pretty scary.

Are you really Jean?

The Jean I know is someone who only thinks about himself.

It hurts to hear that.

It's just that I don't want to disappoint those...

indiscernible, scorched bones.

I-I...

I know what needs to be done now!

Not to mention, this is the job we chose!

Lend me a hand!

Pull up your hood. All the way.

That way, she can't see your face.

She shouldn't mindlessly kill us until she knows who we are!

I see.

So you think she won't kill people who might be Eren?

I'm relieved to hear that.

And while we're at it, let's hope she has bad eyesight!

Armin, you always stuck to Eren like glue, so I thought you were a creep,

but I knew you were a capable guy.

Huh?

Oh, thanks.

But "creep" is a bit mean.

She's slowed down a lot from when I first saw her.

Is she tired?

If she starts running at full speed again, we won't make it.

Now's our chance.

Otherwise...

All right, guys... Just like we planned.

Draw her attention for as long as possible

so that the formation can withdraw.

Even if it's only for a second longer.

If we cut a leg tendon, that'd be more than enough.

Don't push your luck though. Killing her isn't necessary!

She's aware that her nape is a vital.

She's completely different from average Titans.

It's probably impossible to kill her.

At least not according to the limits defined by human knowledge.

But... if it's those two, then maybe...

Armin!

Why you...

Her movements are on a completely different level!

Damn.

We...

We underestimated her!

She covered her nape.

Jean!

Damn, I can't get away!

I'm going to die!

Once she grabs my wire, I'm finished!

Jean!

Avenge that reckless idiot!

Armin?

She stopped moving?

That's the one!

That's the one that killed him!

He really ended up dying on the right flank!

Avenge that reckless idiot!

What happened?

Did he hit his head and go insane?

This really isn't the time for that!

Reiner?

It crushed my best friend with one stomp!

I saw his body stuck under its foot!

He's going straight for the nape?

Wait, that might work!

Now that she's distracted by Armin!

H-Hey...

H-Hey...

Reiner, you...

Reiner did it!

Mikasa's so strong, I almost forgot.

He's an exceptionally capable guy you can count on.

We bought enough time, right?!

Let's get away from her already!

If she doesn't eat people, she shouldn't follow us!

Look.

The giant bitch got scared and is running home now!

What... Why?

That's toward the center rear.

Could she be...

heading toward Eren?

If we were to assume that I'm not me,
