I realize that you probably wouldn't know

what to say to this, but I want you to hear it.

I guess I should start three years ago.

Back when we still could've changed something.

Captain! No word from the advance party.

It's been two hours.

Hmm. Then have teams two and three

prepare to land as well.

Yes, sir!

These damned island devils managed to

defeat our Warrior unit.

We need to find out what they're doing now

and relay it back to Marley.

Grab onto something!

It's... It's a devil!

Hello, ladies and gentlemen of Marley!

Welcome to Paradis Island!

Nice to meet'cha. I'm Hange!

And it's an honor to welcome guests who've sailed from

oh... so... far across the sea to come here!

The trip must've left you exhausted,

so why not join us for some tea?

Oh! I almost forgot.

If you were curious about this guest of ours,

he arrived just before you

and we're already getting along splendidly!

Isn't that right? Tell them, Nicolo!

Please, Captain!

Forget about me and gun these devils down while you can!

Huh? What are you saying?

Captain!

He's saying that he doesn't wanna be

part of your shitty skit.

Nicolo.

Know this, you wretched devils!

Marley doesn't negotiate with filthy... bloods like you!

And we're certainly not gonna sit down with you

and drink the pig piss you call tea!

Huh?! Aw. Ya sure about that?

Maybe you should be more polite.

Unless you wanna piss off the Titan looming behind you.

Marley will never bend to the power of devils!

This is all she has to say to you!

Huh?

Put your hands up, Yelena!

Lay down your weapons.

What are you...?

Do as she says.

Hange. I'd like to accept your invitation.

Let's have some tea.

How I've longed to meet you, Eren.

That big lady shot and killed her captain

without a second thought.

What do you think she's hoping to do?

Can't say, but even if she's on our side,

we obviously can't trust her.

No napping, Sasha.

Yeah, but this is still an incredible chance

for us to gather information.

We're really lucky we found them.

You're right. We've been lucky.

We managed to intercept that ship by pure chance.

If Marley comes to this island in force, we're finished.

We've gotta do something.

Ohh? Ohh!

Oh, I see now!

So that's why your guns can shoot so many bullets!

Back in Marley, those weapons are standard... issue.

The Marleyan army is comprised of 50 divisions,

each made up of 20,000 troops.

That comes out to a million soldiers in total.

Then there's the Marleyan navy.

It's divided into three fleets, with 21 battleships each.

Marley's been developing new weapons, too.

They're making strides in the field of aerial warfare.

Aerial?

Tch. Keep it together or they'll think we're weak.

I know that!

In other words, they're making flying ships,

which can circumvent walls by attacking from the sky.

Huh?! They'll attack from the sky?!

Hange.

If Marley truly has the kind of military capabilities

you just described to us,

why haven't they sent an invasion force in the past year?

Tell me.

There are two primary reasons.

The first is the Pure Titans Marley released here.

They pose a serious threat to a landing force,

even if that force is armed with the latest weaponry.

They were originally taken here to keep you Eldians

confined within your walls, but in more recent times,

they've served as Eldia's first line of defense.

You don't say. Well, isn't that funny?

But it'll be morning shortly,

and day is when Titans become active.

Which tells me that if we're still here,

sipping tea in the wilderness beyond the walls,

you must have killed all the Pure Titans

that were roaming around.

Is my assessment correct?

And what if it is?

You gonna take that intel back to Marley?

Never. It's amazing.

I am in awe.

So what's the second reason?

Marley is occupied.

It's at war with an alliance of several nations.

It can't be bothered to deal with Paradis now.

You defeated the Warrior unit: the pride of Marley.

And in doing so, you stripped Marley of

two of its best weapons: the Colossal and Female Titans.

Marley is a nation with many enemies.

Once they saw that you'd left it in a weakened state,

they quickly joined as one and declared war.

I'm guessing that your group infiltrated the Marleyan Army

because you have some sort of grudge against it.

Are you undercover agents from some of the nations

that Marley's conquered?

Oh? So I'm right!

If you're willing to go up against Marley,

then you must be working with some seriously powerful backers.

Sorry to disappoint,

but we're not agents or anything of the sort.

We were utterly powerless.

Marley took our homes and conscripted us into its army.

The hope that we could eventually strike back

faded more every day.

That is, until we met him.

People feared that Titan the world over.

They called him a devil.

But to me, he looked like something else entirely.

A god.

One that gave hope to the powerless.

Our mutiny was carried out

at the express command of Zeke Jaeger.

We're the Anti... Marleyan Volunteers.

And our goal is to free the Eldian people.

So, that concludes Zeke Jaeger's requests.

He claims that he can save the Eldian people,

who's existence is currently under th...

Absurd! We shouldn't even be listening to this!

We're talking about the Beast Titan here!

He turned the people of Ragako into Titans

and spread terror within the walls!

He hunted the Scouts to near... extinction!

Now he has the gall to come to us with requests?

Zeke Jaeger's one and only goal is to

steal the Founding Titan from this island.

He failed to by force, so now he's trying to

obtain it through diplomatic means.

Yes, he should know that we'll assume that.

Regardless, I would still like to hear what else he has to say.

Zeke Jaeger claims to have an actionable plan

that can solve all our people's problems at once.

And to carry this plan out, we would need two key assets:

The Founding Titan, and a Titan possessing royal blood.

He says that with both, the world can be saved.

However, he will only reveal the details of his plan

after his conditions have been met.

He's full of shit!

What kind of feckless idiots does he take us for?

Eren?

Zeke is telling the truth. I remember.

The Founder's power has always been

completely impossible for me to use.

The only exception was when I touched

a Titan with royal blood.

I recognize that Titan from a picture.

It had to be my dad's first wife. Dina Fritz.

Zeke is Dina's son.

He must have figured it out, too.

How to get around the king's vow renouncing war.

How to activate the only hope

that still remains to us Eldians.

He knows how to wake the millions of Titans

sleeping in the walls.

How to start The Rumbling, and crush the world.

Hey. Why did you keep quiet about this for so long?

'Cause I was concerned for Historia's safety.

At the time, I wasn't sure, and I couldn't let her

get turned into a Titan based on some hunch of mine.

It wasn't a well... thought... out decision, I see that.

We'll talk about it later.

However, if everything that you're saying is true,

then Zeke's secret plan holds up.

You trust them? Have you lost your mind, Hange?

The fact is, we can't risk letting these

Marleyan soldiers roam the island freely.

If we were smart, we'd hang them!

No. That's not an option.

If we want to protect Paradis from Marley's survey ships,

we need the volunteer's help.

They have something called a "radio."

This is Survey Ship One. Requesting immediate aid.

This is Survey Ship One! Please respond!

We read you. What's your situation?

Thank goodness! Our ship ran aground!

We've been waiting so long for help.

We're coming! In the cove, huh?

Our numbers? Don't worry!

We're sending two survey ships your way.

Hey! You all right?

We're coming to pick you up!

It's the Colossal Titan!

How?!

Hey! It's the enemy!

Hurry! Jump off!

Swim for the coast!

Abandon ship!

Welcome to our defiled island of filth... blooded devils.

You're gonna love it here.

Long as you like drinking pig piss.

Feel free to turn us down,

but if you don't wanna come ashore,

you'll need to swim back home.

It was fun back then.

We knew that as Eldians,

we were feared and hated by the rest of the world.

By people on the other side of the sea

whose faces we had never even seen.

But not everyone across the sea was an enemy.

That fact gave us comfort.

And we finally got to learn about the outside world

in all its complexities and mysteries.

Oh, by the way.

Why is your skin so dark, Onyonkopon?

Because our creator thought that things would be more interesting

if the world were occupied by many kinds of people.

I'd say that applies to you Subjects of Ymir as well.

We exist because we were wanted.

Wait, we were created? By who?

By the one who gave power to your Founder Ymir.

It was God.

Well, that's what some people believe.

We're all free to think as we like, right?

What the hell is this food?

Is it even edible?

Smells pretty fishy.

Have you never had seafood before?

Nicolo's a master when it comes to Marleyan cuisine.

Dumb jerks. If you don't like how it looks, then don't eat it.

Like I care what Eldians think...

It's so good!

Slow down!

No fair, Sasha!

You're a genius.

This is the best food I've ever eaten!

Hey. Stop eating like some kind of pig!

I've never tasted anything like this!

There's plenty, so take your time.

We should be finished building the port soon.

Progress has been fast

since those Marleyan engineers decided to help out.

I'm kind of surprised they agreed to.

It took time.

At first, we were too suspicious to cooperate at anything.

But as we gradually set aside the labels

we have for one another,

and work to see each other as people,

we can reach an understanding.

Armin. Have you seen any of Bertholdt's memories?

Uh... yeah, but I didn't notice anything that seemed helpful.

We're short on time.

Zeke has less than three years to live.

Yeah, but about that.

Do you really think it's okay for us

to just go along with Yelena's plan?

What's the problem?

I just wonder if we really have to

threaten the world with the Rumbling

to protect the Eldian people.

We'd be forcing everyone to live in fear of us.

Acting like the devils they think we are.

Before it comes to that, why don't we just talk to them?

If we fix the world's misconceptions about us,

threats won't be needed.

Come again? What misconceptions do they have?

You know. How they think we're scary monsters.

They think that because we can transform

into man... eating Titans.

That's no "misconception."

But still. There are some Marleyans who like us.

How many?

Most of the Marleyans we caught are still glaring at us

from their prison cells.

That's true for now, but given enough time.

Yeah. We just need time.

That's right, and to buy ourselves that time,

we need to show the world our strength.

I still don't know

that we made the right choice back then.

I can't help but wonder if there was

some other path we could've taken, if we'd just seen it.

I used to think

that I understood Eren better than anyone.

Even Mikasa.

But... I don't know anymore.

Hey! Aren't you a Marleyan?

What the hell are you doing?

This graveyard is full of people your kind killed!

You have no right...

Hey, stop!

Let us take care of this guy!

I'm sorry, but please.

Marleyans can go to hell.

Hey, Nicolo!

You okay?

No. Why, damn it?

Is it true that Sasha was killed?

So it is. Then why?

What the hell were you guys doing?

Shot by a kid who snuck onto the airship?

It's too ridiculous to be true.

It wasn't an ordinary kid. The girl had been trained.

Sounds like a Warrior candidate.

Should've kept my guard up. I'm sorry.

Why apologize to me?

All I did was cook her a meal or two.

Thank you.

Thank you for every tasty meal you made for her, Nicolo.

How are you taking it, Conny?

Sasha and I were like twins.

So it feels like half of me is just gone.

It's her family.

Y'all were friends with my daughter, Sasha?

Uh. Pardon.

I'm just a captive Marleyan,

but I have permission to work as a chef.

Your daughter loved my cooking

more than anyone else ever will, I think.

So um, if you ever want to,

please come and let me cook you something.

This would be on the house, right?

Yeah.

How interesting. They're calling it a victory?

Ignorance is scary, but delusion's even worse.

I'm going to kill you and ship your corpse back to Marley,

with a note about your little plot.

Should spell the end for your grandparents.

That said, if this secret plan of yours isn't bullshit,

I can wait and chop you up once it's finished.

I don't care much either way.

Well, I appreciate your willingness to accommodate.

But hey. I do get to meet Eren soon, don't I?

There's no need to rush.

We've prepared a nice little place for you to stay here.

A beautiful hotel that you can relax at.

So, could I ask you to stop glaring?

This is all the Titan transformation serum

we were able to steal from Marley.

Sorry, but it's hard to reproduce.

It's fine. For our purposes, this should be plenty.

I just wish that we were in a position

to return your kindness.

We owe you so much already.

You turned our ignorance into hope and got nothing in return.

For us to doubt the people who saved us,

we truly are no better than devils.

It is my opinion that we've proven ourselves

to be your loyal friends over these past three years.

This is a shame.

The weapons that we offered you as gifts

were intended to bring freedom to the Eldian people.

I know that this is a selfish request,

but would you please overlook our weakness for a time?

We're going to great lengths to keep Zeke on a tight leash.

It's fine, Commander. I understand.

The day will soon come when we

sit at the same table once again.

This is my hotel?

What better lodging could there be?

It's a giant forest.

Difficult to move through and devoid of boulders.

Looks like a fun spot for using ODM gear, too.

Hey. Quick question.

This natural wonder.

Would you mind letting me show it to Gabi and Falco?

Tch. Whether they get to see the sights or not depends on you.

I'll kill you, Eren Jaeger.

Eren was ready to do it alone.

Whether we helped him or abandoned him.

The outcome would've been awful either way.

But now, we've killed a huge number of people.

Sailors. Soldiers. Civilians.

The devastation we spread was indiscriminate.

Still, if we had left that port intact,

then Marley would've launched an immediate counterattack

against our island.

We've abandoned all hope for peace,

but we didn't have a choice.

Any more than the three of you did.

Right, Annie?

Say something. Please.

Kill or be killed.

Fight for your life.

The only way to live is to fight.

So fight. Just fight.

♪ Ending Song

Without any allies on the outside,

they must kill their enemies in order to live.

But is that the right choice to make?

There isn't a soul who knows.
