Original subtitles

On that day, mankind remembered...

The fear of oppression under them,

and the humiliation of being caged like birds.

All hands, prepare for battle!

The target is alone!

Eliminate it at all costs, and make this mankind's first base on the outside!

Approaching target!

Split up into five groups, just like in training!

My group will act as the decoys!

Assault squads, switch to three-dimensional maneuvers!

We'll attack simultaneously from every direction!

Behold the power of mankind!

Sie sind das Essen und wir sind die Jäger

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

Ignorant of the trampled flower's name,

Even if you pray, nothing will be changed.

But that which can alter the present is the resolution to fight.

Beyond the ramparts, we're hunters that slaughter our prey.

As these surging urges burn away our bodies,

we ignite the dusk with a crimson bow and arrow.

To You, 2000 Years Later

————— The Fall of Shiganshina Part —————

①

Huh? Mikasa?

Let's start heading back.

Why am I here?

You were sleeping that soundly?

No, it just feels like I was having a really long dream.

What was it again?

I don't remember a thing.

Eren? Why are you crying?

Year 845 Shiganshina District

Listen up!

The walls were made with the wisdom of God!

The walls are the works of God!

No matter the person, none may desecrate the walls!

Don't tell anyone.

About me crying.

I won't.

But for you to start crying for no reason...

Why not ask Uncle to take a look at you?

Don't be stupid! As if I could tell Dad.

What're you crying over, Eren?

Hannes-san.

Did you get scolded by Mikasa?

Huh? What makes you think I'd cry?

You reek of booze!

Come on, it's cool.

You're drinking again?

Why don't you two join us?

Well, uh...

What about work?

Ah, we're wall guards today.

Having been here all day, hunger and thirst were bound to catch up to us.

The fact that alcohol happened to be in our drinks is but a trivial matter.

But will you be able to fight when you need to?

And when would that be?

Isn't that obvious?! When they break down the wall and storm the city!

Oh, damn.

Hey, Eren, don't start yelling so suddenly.

You're real lively, doctor's son.

If they ever manage to do that, you bet we'll get the job done.

Then again, it's been nothing but peace and quiet these past 100 years.

Even so, my dad said it's the most dangerous when everyone lets their guard down like that!

Dr. Jaeger, huh?

Come to think of it, Doc was the one who saved this town from an epidemic,

and we're all greatly indebted to him.

However, they're an entirely different matter.

If you're a soldier, there'll be times when you see them

wandering outside while reinforcing the wall.

Still, I can't imagine them being able to do anything about this fifty-meter-tall wall.

W-Wait... So you're saying you don't even have the resolve to fight them to begin with?

Pretty much.

Seriously?!

Quit calling yourselves the "Stationed Army Corps",

and go by "Wall Construction Corps" instead!

That doesn't sound half bad.

But you know, Eren, to see soldiers working wouldn't bode well for us all.

It's when we're criticized by people who call us useless freeloaders that everyone's living in peace.

Even if we're confined within these walls, we can keep on living, just eating and sleeping.

But... That would be as if...

As if we're just cattle.

What a valiant little brat!

Even though he can't do anything himself, right, Hannes?

Huh? Y-Yeah.

Hey, Eren!

What a queer kid.

Don't tell me...

Does he want to join the Survey Corps?

Eren, you should give up on joining the Survey Corps.

What? You're gonna look down on them too?

It doesn't have anything to do with how I see them—

The Survey Corps is back!

The front gate is gonna open!

Let's go, Mikasa! It's the triumphant return of the heroes!

Shoot, I can't see.

Only this many of them made it back?

They must've all been eaten.

This is what happens when you go outside the walls.

Moses? Moses!

Excuse me, I don't see my son, Moses...

Where can I find him?

It's Moses's mother.

Bring it over.

That's all we were able to recover.

But... my son... carried out his duty, right?

Although it may not have been anything significant,

he contributed to mankind's retaliation somehow, didn't he?!

Of course!

No...

Through this mission, we...

No, through all of our missions...

We've failed to achieve anything!

Because of my incompetence,

I've gotten soldiers killed for nothing,

and failed to learn the slightest thing about them!

What a real mess.

Tell me about it.

All this shows is that our taxes are being spent fattening them up for nothing.

What's your problem, you damn brat?!

H-Hey! What're you doing, Mikasa?!

Hey, get your ass back here!

Mikasa! This is far enough, isn't it?!

What was that for?

The wood's all over the place now!

Eren, did that change your mind about joining the Survey Corps?

Help me pick them up.

There isn't much to begin with.

Currently Disclosable Information

About the Walls Part

①

Mankind lives enclosed within three walls.

The outermost wall is Wall Maria, the middle wall is Wall Rose, and the final, innermost wall is Wall Sina.

Currently Disclosable Information

About the Walls Part

②

The area between the walls are approximately equal.

There's about 100km between Maria and Rose, about 130km

between Rose and Sina, and about 250km between Sina and the center.

We're back.

Welcome home.

My, Eren, I see you've worked harder than usual.

Y-Yeah.

What?

Your ears are warm.

I can tell you're lying.

Mikasa helped you out, didn't she?

Oh, are you heading out, Dad?

Work?

Yes. Medical examinations within the inner walls.

It should take around two to three days.

Oh.

Eren says he wants to join the Survey Corps.

M-Mikasa, I told you that's a secret!

Eren! What are you thinking?

Do you know how many people have died outside the walls?

I do!

Then why—

Eren.

Why do you wish to venture outside?

I want to know... what's become of the outside world.

I don't want to simply live out my life within the walls like this!

Besides, if nobody follows in their footsteps...

the sacrifice of all those who lost their lives would be in vain!

I see.

The ferry will depart soon.

I'll be off now.

Wait, dear!

Say something to Eren!

Carla, a human's spirit of inquiry isn't something that can be talked down.

Eren.

When I return, I'll show you the basement that I've always kept a secret.

Really?!

Have a safe trip!

I'm still against it.

Only fools would consider joining the Survey Corps.

What? Fools?!

To me, people that are content with living like cattle seem way more stupid!

Eren!

Mikasa, that boy has a habit of getting into trouble,

so when something happens, be there for each other.

Okay.

What's wrong, heretic?

If you don't like it, why don't you fight back?

As if I'd ever do that.

The last thing I'd do is stoop to your level.

What was that?!

You're only resorting to physical abuse because you can't prove that I'm wrong.

Doesn't that mean you admit I'm right?!

Shut your trap, you rambling nitwit!

Stop right there!

It's Eren!

What an idiot. He came back for more.

Itching for a beating, huh?

We'll make you our sandbag!

Mi-Mikasa's right behind him!

W-We're screwed! Run!

Hey, they took off after seeing me!

No, they probably ran because of Mikasa.

O-Ow.

Hey, you okay, Armin?

I can stand up on my own.

Oh, all right.

So, when I said mankind would eventually need to go outside, they hit me, saying I was a heretic.

Damn it.

Why does simply wanting to go outside turn everyone against us?

Well, it's because it's been peaceful within the walls for the past 100 years.

In order to prevent inviting them in through a reckless attempt to go outside,

the king's government created policy that made holding interest in the outside world taboo.

We're risking our own lives.

It's our choice to make.

I won't let you.

You can't.

Oh yeah, I can't believe you ratted me out!

I don't remember saying I'd help.

Wh-What'd they say?

Well, they weren't happy about it.

I figured.

True, I think those who believe the walls will forever provide a life of peace need to face reality.

Just because the wall has done its job for the past 100 years,

it doesn't guarantee that it won't be destroyed today...

Not in the slightest.

Wh-What the...?

An explosion?

It came from there!

Seems like something fell.

I have no idea.

Hey, Armin!

What's wrong?

Just what are you staring at?

No way...

That wall is fifty meters tall!

It's them.

A Titan.

Th-They blew a h-hole into the wall.

They're coming inside!

The Titans are coming!

We need to—

Eren!

Our house is...

Mom is...

Mikasa!

It's all over.

This town is...

going to be overrun by Titans!

There's no way our house got hit.

Once I turn that corner, our house will... like always...

Mom!

Mom!

Eren.

Mikasa, hold that side!

We'll lift the pillar!

Hurry, Mikasa!

I'm trying!

The Titans have come inside, haven't they?

Eren, take Mikasa and run away.

Hurry!

I want to run away! Get up already!

My legs are crushed by the rubble.

Even if I get out of here, I can't run.

You understand, right?

I'll run away carrying you!

Why don't you ever listen to what I tell you?!

At least listen to my final request!

Mikasa!

No...

No!

At this rate, the three of us will...

Hannes!

Take the children and run!

I can't have you thinking I'm that small a man, Carla.

I'll butcher the Titan and make sure to save all three of you!

Wait! Don't fight it!

She's right. If it's just the two of them, we can get away.

But this is the time for me to make good on my debt!

Hey, Hannes!

What're you doing?!

Thank you.

Mom is...

She's still...

Eren, Mikasa! You two need to live on!

Don't go.

Stop!

On that day, mankind remembered...

The fear of oppression under them,

and the humiliation of being caged like birds.

sono yume wa kokoro no ibasho

Your dream is where my heart belongs.

inochi yori kowareyasuki mono

It's more fragile than a life.

nandodemo sutete wa mitsuke

Constantly abandoned, and constantly found.

yasuraka ni saa nemure

Now, sleep in peace.

myakuutsu shoudou ni

My pulsing urges

negai wa okasare

trample upon my wishes.

wasureteshimau hodo

As often as I sadly forget,

mata omoidasu yo

I remember once again.

mata omoidasu yo

I remember once again.

kono utsukushiki zankoku na sekai de wa

In this cruel yet beautiful world,

mada ikiteiru koto naze to tou bakari de

I endlessly question the reason for my survival.

ah bokutachi wa kono tsuyosa yowasa de

Ah, with this strength and weakness,

nani wo mamoru no darou

I wonder what it is we'll protect,

mou risei nado nai naraba

when a reason ceases to exist.

The fall of Shiganshina.

The only things remaining for mankind were prayer, screams, and death.

In the midst of it all, Eren alone swears vengeance upon his small chest.

On That Day
