Original subtitles

We were abandoned.

Abandoned by the devils

whose blood runs through our veins.

That's why we're forced to live in this walled ghetto.

And it's why your father isn't here.

Your father is Marleyan.

So it's against the rules for him to be with us.

If only we were Marleyan...

Oh, yeah. Back then...

I strove to be a Warrior so Mom and I

could become Marleyans.

Who said you could walk?

Faster! Run, you filthy seed of swine!

Don't you wanna become Honorary Marleyans?

Did you guys hear?

In just a few years, we'll be sent to attack Paradis Island.

It's almost time for us to inherit our Titans.

Out of us seven, six'll be made Warriors at once.

No way! I'll finally become Marleyan!

Huh? What're you excited for?

If anyone's getting left behind, it's you.

What?

What do you got that the rest of us don't?

Huh?

Are you real strong? Real smart?

A crack shot? Good in a fight maybe?

No. You only made it this far by constantly

going on about your love for Marley.

"Yes, sir, I'll slaughter those island devils

just as soon as I've licked your boots cle... "Hey!

Are you seriously insulting our mission?

How dare you!

You almost sound like a stray Restorationist.

Huh?!

You traitor. I knew it!

I'll report you to the commander for this!

Report this... you little shit!

Well? Want more?

He's had enough, Porco!

Anyone can whine about how much they hate the island.

That's why you'll be doing it here for the next 13 years.

Porco!

Come on, Pieck, let's go.

Hurry after us as soon as you're done crying.

I'll catch another beating if you're late.

Reiner. I'm sorry.

Get up, Reiner. Here.

I have to become a Marleyan,

so I can live with my mom and dad.

I can't wait 13 years.

But, it's like he said,

I... I'm weak.

It isn't gonna be Porco's decision to make.

And well, loyalty's more important than he might think.

Right? Annie?

Huh? Dunno. I was distracted.

So this goal.

Are you sure it's what you want?

Huh?

You get 13 years, and that's it.

But I'll be a hero for every one of them.

If I can defeat the devils on Paradis,

I'll have saved the whole world.

And after that, my parents'll be proud to call me son.

I wish something would happen.

Eren! I finally found you!

Incredible.

They're even stronger than expected.

The Female Titan.

Its greatest strength is its versatility.

Not only does it boast a combination of

high mobility and endurance,

its hardened strikes are incredibly destructive.

It's also able to summon Pure Titans.

Though its range is limited. Leonhart is perfect.

The Armored Titan naturally

specializes in defense.

But if it charges at full speed,

it can break through gates and walls alike.

As Marley's shield, it needs to stand tall

where the fighting is thickest.

It suits Braun's tenacious spirit.

The Jaw Titan is an assault weapon.

It's as speedy as it is small,

with powerful claws and teeth that can crush almost anything.

Marcel's sharp enough to keep up with it.

The Beast Titan is more potent than ever.

It's large and strong, but more importantly,

it can outperform an artillery unit

with nothing but a fistful of rock.

What's more,

its greatest power lies in its blood.

The Cart Titan's outstanding endurance

makes it well-suited for lengthy missions on the field.

Because it can hold its form for days on end,

we've enhanced it with specialized equipment.

Pieck's superior judgment will serve well here.

Finally, there's the Colossal Titan.

It is a god of destruction.

We trust that Hoover can handle it.

I feel bad for those island devils.

That monster will appear from thin air

and start killing them someday.

We've been training the members of this Warrior Unit

since they were practically infants,

and it's clear that they're stronger for it.

But why send these children to take the Founding Titan?

Frankly, I think it's a bit insane.

You think so? I'm not so sure.

We did just watch these children bring a nation to its knees.

It makes no sense!

You're obviously at the bottom of the group.

So why would they pick you?

Heh. Haven't you figured it out? You're at the bottom. "Pock."

You little...!

Porco, stop! Calm down.

You don't want to defy the brass.

Reiner. I'm sorry.

Dad!

It's you, right?

My mom used to work at this barracks

a good while before I was born.

You would've met her here.

Her name's Karina Braun!

Look at my armband!

Mom has one, too.

We're Honorary Marleyans. Now we can all live toge...

The hell's wrong with you?

What, did that woman send you here?

Guess she wants revenge on me. Shit!

She forced you to become a Warrior just for that?

If they find out where you're from, my family's screwed.

So you're trying to get me hanged, is that it?

Well I'm running away as fast as I can.

Away from you and your damned Eldian mother!

Reiner! Reiner!

I'll be waiting for you, sweetie!

That's right. Even if I don't have a dad,

I was chosen to wield the Armored Titan.

I'll save everyone from the island devils

and become a hero to the world.

It's tough to cover much ground, moving at night.

Yeah, especially when it's this cloudy.

We're sure the king won't use the Founding Titan?

I don't get it.

If we blatantly attack his walls, then...

What's the point in asking now?

Just put your faith in Marley's research.

That's right. There's no turning back.

When we reach the wall tomorrow, we'll have to...

Huh? What's wrong?

Don't tell me you're feeling hesitant to kill these devils.

They're a threat to our entire world!

But the greatest nation in the world chose us to save it.

To punish these devils for their crimes!

I'm sorry.

Huh?

Listen, Reiner. The truth of it is,

you were never supposed to be chosen.

I influenced the army's decision

by making my little brother look bad,

and putting you up on a pedestal.

Sorry. I only did it so that he would... be safe...

I'm sorry... Reiner...

Why?

Why are you apologizing?

Bertholdt! Annie!

Marcel...

They're gone. They were all eaten because of me.

And I'll be next.

I... I'm gonna die here.

Not bad. You just beat me

in a long-distance race.

You've never done that before.

If we had transformed and defended ourselves,

we wouldn't have lost the Jaw Titan.

Ugh. Well. Shit.

He's gone for good now.

There weren't supposed to be any Titans

this far from the walls, though.

We need to go back.

Let's track down Jaws and leave.

The Titan that ate Marcel should be human again.

C'mon. Without Marcel to lead us, this mission's doomed.

Wait. We can't. We can't!

We can't go!

We gotta continue the mission as planned.

Oh, yeah. If you go back now, you'll be stripped of the Armor.

The next Warrior will eat you.

Though that isn't really a problem for me.

You think it'd just be me?

Huh?

You and Bertholdt ran away, too,

so why would I take all of the blame?

What makes you so confident that you two

won't get eaten right along with me?

Going after Jaws isn't a good idea, anyway.

If they use its power to run, that's it.

Our Titans are way too slow to catch up to it.

But how could someone learn to use it that quickly?

You mastered the Colossal on your first try, so you tell me!

Anyway, if we go to the dock as failures, we're doomed!

We need the Founding Titan.

There's no going home without it!

You know. If you had been even a fraction this composed

when that Titan came at us,

we wouldn't have had to lose the Jaw Titan or Marcel.

So, you think the two of us'll be blamed

for running after you, huh?

Well, then why don't you come clean to Magath?

It's your fault this happened, so own up to it!

We're not heroes, dumbass.

The Marleyans just see us as weapons.

Understand? They lied!

Marleyan or Eldian, they're all just in it for themselves!

And guess what?

I'm the same: I've gotta get home alive!

If you feel guilty about Marcel, then die!

Take all of the blame and die!

Reiner is dead.

If we need Marcel, then he's who I'll be.

Stop. Let her go.

If we wanna make it back, this is our only hope.

Once our mission is done, we can go home.

I wanted to become a Warrior,

because I thought it would make my mom's wish

to live with me and my father come true.

But, my father never wanted any part of us.

Mom lived for a dream that she knew was hopeless.

I should've never been chosen.

I should have died today.

Why apologize? And why save someone like me?

This can't end with me doing nothing.

Knowing nothing.

Before I die, I need to change something!

Where are we?

In Wall Rose. We're safe.

Annie. Bertholdt. I'm sorry.

I'll be the Warrior I should've been... for Marcel.

Oxface! Just what in the hell did you come here to do?

I'm here to save humanity.

My village was in the southeast mountains of Wall Maria.

For us, it happened at dawn.

The animals were all makin' a racket.

On top of that, I heard a strange rumbling.

I realized it was footsteps and opened the window to look.

What happened next is a blur,

but I got away on my horse. Alone.

Leaving behind three kids right about your age.

Hello there, missy.

You must be a girl of refined taste

to take such an interest in this old geezer.

I was born at the inn my mom worked at.

She only met my father once,

but she described him to me in detail,

so that I'd know you when I saw you.

Well, ain't that a touchin' story.

If ya wanna give your daddy a hug, then put your hands up.

How can you be so sure that it isn't true?

I made my sister a promise,

so this tale of yours is a joke, and a shit one at that.

You're so mean. Daddy!

Well, damn. Seems you've hit your rebellious phase.

Come back!

Huh. That's a new one.

His legs are saying it'll snow today, right?

Yeah, but his torso's saying clear skies.

Call it hail and get moving

or you'll be late for muster.

Bertholdt! Wake up!

While you two slept like babies

after playing with your "friends,"

I was crawling around the capital's sewers.

But I hit my limit. Almost got caught.

Your limit, huh?

Let's cut our losses and take what we know back to Marley.

At this point, I bet they'll be happy to hear anything.

No. After five years, they'll be expecting a lot more

than a few scraps of information.

All right, asshole. Do you have a plan?

Yeah. We breach Wall Rose.

It's the best chance we have of smoking out the Founding Titan.

It also means killing a lot of your friends.

I keep telling you, Annie.

The cadets aren't our friends. They're devils.

But it can't hurt to gain their trust, so I wish you'd act

a little less standoff-ish. Let them think you're one...

I'm gonna puke.

Could you please move your face away from mine?

You're exhausted.

I'm sorry for laying so many burdens on you, Annie.

Let's call it a night.

I, uh... I keep having this dream.

Where I see that guy from the mountains who hung himself.

He must've been planning to do it.

So why did he tell us his story first?

Eren. Don't kill yourself.

Take a break.

Shit! Hey, Reiner.

How'd you get so strong?

What do I need to do to be like you or Mikasa?

I've gotta change,

or I'll die without accomplishing a damn thing.

Just do what you have to.

Keep moving forward.

That's all we can do.

Right. Thanks for the advice.

You're gonna butcher all the Titans, right?

I'm sure you can do it.

Damn it. If nothing changes, then...

That's right. I still have... them.

The hospital.

Hey!

So, you're able to talk now, huh?

Guess that means you're recovering.

Eh. This place is for treating psychological wounds,

but mine are fake.

Huh?

I said that I forgot where I came from due to amnesia,

but I just don't wanna go back.

I'm not quite ready to face my family yet.

Will you report me?

No, I wouldn't do that.

You're all beat up.

Guess that's from your Warrior training?

Yeah, but honestly, it's pointless.

There's another candidate who's way better than me.

So there's no way that I'll be chosen.

I'm glad to hear it.

Huh?

You're a good person.

I hope you'll get to live a long life.

Thing is, I don't want this other candidate to be picked.

Why not?

Is this rival of yours a girl by chance?

She's famous around here.

She did incredible things in the war.

Ask anyone, and they'll tell you

that she should be the next Armor.

It doesn't matter what I want.

'Cause I can't do a damn thing about it.

Every day I've spent here, I've wondered.

How did all these people let it come to this?

Minds and bodies ruined.

Dreams of freedom erased.

Personalities burned away.

No one would want to go to war

if they knew what it would do to them.

But it's not like we all leapt into that hell knowingly.

Most of us were pushed.

Some of us were pushed by other people.

And some of us were pushed by the environments we grew up in.

So, the few who do choose to leap into hell

see it differently than the rest.

And they're also able to see something beyond the hell.

Maybe that something is hope.

Or maybe it's just another hell.

Fact is, you can only find out by moving forward.

Magath joins hands with the Tybur family

and readies the army for a fateful speech.

As the festival enlivens the city,

Reiner is surprised by a face from his past.
