Original subtitles

In the year 845,

the Colossal Titan and the Armored Titan appeared out of thin air,

reducing our ordinary lives, along with the wall, to rubble.

Stop!

Wall Maria was abandoned.

With a fifth of its population and a third of its land lost,

mankind was forced to retreat behind Wall Rose.

However, not all of mankind has given in to the Titans.

The Garrison continues to work on strengthening the walls...

...and young recruits continue to be trained in the art of killing Titans.

It was at this time that...

Year 850

In Trost District,

the Survey Corps' forces were preparing to set foot in the Titans' territory once more.

Thirty seconds until the gate opens!

All troops, prepare to move out!

Oh man, I'm so excited...

Hey, Levi.

Not a chance.

I haven't even said anything yet.

You want me to help you capture a Titan.

That'd be a major pain in the ass for me.

What about you, Mike? Are you in?

As always, dull answers from dull men.

We will now begin the 49th expedition outside the walls!

Move out!

Woohoo!

Hange!

Hey, Titans!

I'm coming to meet you!

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

Ilse's Notebook

————— Memoirs of a Survey Corps Member —————

Just wait a minute, Erwin!

I get that building a military logistics base is our top priority this time out,

but uncovering the Titans' true nature is the Survey Corps' primary objective!

You know that as well as I do!

Excuse me, Captain...

Maybe you shouldn't be raising your voice at the commander...

Shut it!

To achieve our goals, we absolutely must capture a Titan!

I understand that I'm being unrealistic.

The last time we caught one was over fifteen years ago,

and we lost more than twenty men in the process.

But if the fear of losing men paralyzes us, we'll never obtain any information!

Move more soldiers to the rear.

Yes, sir.

I've already told you...

We don't have the manpower to capture a titan.

We've already lost more than ten soldiers just getting here.

I know that, but—

Hange.

The answer is no.

H-Hey...

Wait, Erwin!

He was never going to agree to it, Hange.

It's already hard enough to kill those monsters.

If we're gonna try capturing one, we'll have to become immortal first.

Hypothetically...

Let's say that, hypothetically, Levi's trying to kill you.

Kill you dead!

What would you do?

Could you fight and beat him?

No way.

That'd be impossible.

Also, you're choking me!

Let me tell you how to win.

You do the research.

You figure out where he goes, the food he dislikes,

the girls he likes, and how often he goes to the bathroom each day.

You figure out everything about him.

Then, you find something you can exploit.

If you don't fight that way, you'll definitely...

be killed.

Hange!

Captain, you're overdoing it!

Oops, sorry.

But that's what I'm getting at.

Captain!

Shit, I almost died there.

She's one crazy bitch.

Clinically insane.

You realize...

you're a member of the Survey Corps, so at least try not sounding like a wimp, okay?

What?

Who are you to tell me that?!

Petra, are you done with the resupply?

Y-Yes sir, Eld!

Almost done, sir!

The forest!

They're here!

Stay alert, men!

Captain, it's dangerous to go out alone!

Erwin, I'm going!

Wait, Hange!

Levi!

God, what an idiot.

Found one!

Hey, nice weather today, isn't it?

Good boy.

Hey, want to join me for a stroll inside the walls?

What do you say?

That was close!

Oh, dear...

You okay?

Follow me!

All right, good boy.

This way, moron.

H-Hey, don't interfere!

Good boy.

Keep coming this way.

Huh?

What?

Hey!

Hey, wait up!

Hey!

Where are you going?

What the hell's that dumbass doing?

Going back home?

It's acting strange, even for an Abnormal.

Yeah, its behavior is unlike anything we've seen so far.

No, acting strange is what makes it Abnormal.

Who cares?

We're killing it.

Hey, wait up!

Is it headed to some specific place?

It might be Abnormal, but is it even possible for a Titan to do such a thing?

What?

What's wrong?

What are you doing?

Is this where...

you wanted to go?

That was close!

What?

What's wrong?

I'm listening.

I've got him!

Oluo, wait!

Huh?

Damn.

You alive?

Captain...

I'll serve you for the rest of my life!

It would've been...

such a valuable specimen.

If we had just captured it, humanity might have taken a step forward!

Shut your stupid mouth, four-eyes!

If you want to become Titan shit, then be my guest.

But leave the rest of us out of it!

Titans don't have bowel movements...

they don't have a digestive system.

Um...

Captain?

What?

Did the... T-Titan do that?

But there's... no way...

What are you babbling about?

The 34th expedition's emblem.

The body's been in here for a year.

A name's coming to me...

Ilse... Langnar?

Unbelievable.

To think a Titan would do this...

Levi?

What's that?

This is...

Ilse Langnar's legacy.

Currently\h\hDisclosable\h\hInformation

The Biology of Titans ① No historical documents contain any information regarding the Titans' origin, making the subject a near-total mystery.

Currently\h\hDisclosable\h\hInformation

The Biology of Titans ② The Titans are driven by one thing: their desire to eat humans. However, the data suggests that they don't eat for sustenance, but simply in order to kill.

My name is Ilse Langnar.

I was involved in the 34th expedition outside the walls,

in charge of the 2nd Brigade's leftmost wing.

On our way back, we encountered Titans.

I lost both my horse and my fellow soldiers.

I also discarded my broken 3D Maneuver Gear.

I'm running north.

I lost my horse in the world outside the walls.

I can't escape from the Titans on foot.

I've lost all of my comrades.

Forget getting home...

even survival seems impossible.

However, I may be able to reach the wall.

I have a plan.

The key is to not give in to fear.

I was prepared for this the moment I volunteered for the Survey Corps.

I bear the wings of freedom, which do not fear death.

I am a Survey Corps soldier.

Even if I'm as good as dead, I'll fight to the bitter end.

I don't have any weapons, but I can fight!

I'll record every moment in this notebook,

and do everything I can.

I will not give up.

I will not...

give up!

I...

I will not...

give up.

I've encountered a Titan.

A 7— No, more like a 6-meter class.

It hasn't eaten me yet.

Is it an Abnormal?

I now stare death in the face.

This is the end for me.

I lived only for myself.

I haven't done anything for my parents yet.

I feel sick.

I'm a goner.

Subjects... of... Ymir.

It...

spoke?

The Titan spoke.

Impossible.

Lady Ymir.

It's an honor.

Its words make sense.

"Subject of Ymir."

"Lady Ymir."

"It's an honor."

I'm certain of it.

This Titan's expression has changed.

It's paying its respects to me.

Unbelievable.

Probably for the first time in history, a human is communicating with a Titan.

Wh-What are you?

I ask for the reason for their existence.

It moans.

No reply.

Where are you from?

I ask about their origin.

No response.

Why do you eat us?

I ask for their objective.

Why do you eat us?!

You don't need to eat to live!

So why?!

You're just a giant useless lump of flesh!

Vanish from this world!

What?

What?

What's...

No!

I'm caught! I'm done. Big mouth. It smells.

Many teeth. Not sharp.

Breath is warm. Waiting alone is—

Dear Erwin Smith,

This is a proposal to resume the Survey Corps' operation to capture Titans.

As a perusal of the enclosed copy of the notebook should make clear,

it seems to suggest one thing:

we still know almost nothing about the Titans.

The Titan Ilse Langnar met spoke meaningful words...

and acted respectfully toward her.

Furthermore, it didn't completely devour Ilse,

but instead, stored her corpse in the hollow of a tree.

That appears to be the course of events.

This is the first time in history that mankind has observed this phenomenon.

Ilse used every last ounce of her life to obtain this information,

and we have a responsibility to make something of it.

We must follow her example and never halt our efforts to uncover more about the Titans.

We must carry on her will.

No matter how little information we may obtain,

it will never be for naught.

It will definitely...

prove useful when humanity strikes back.

I believe that wholeheartedly.

Second Squadron Commander, Hange Zoë.

Um...

Hange...

Are you stalking me?

Well, it's good to have a hobby.

About the other day, um...

I'm sorry.

If I hadn't messed up, we could've captured that Titan.

If we'd done that, we would've obtained valuable information.

In the grand scheme of things, my life isn't worth any—

No, I should be the one apologizing.

I almost got you killed.

I'm sorry.

But don't ever say that your life isn't worth anything.

Okay?

Huh?

A-Are you okay?!

Oluo!

Get a hold of yourself!

By the way,

Erwin's approved the operation.

He has?

Yahoo!

Twenty days later...

Captain Hange Zoë succeeded in the first capture of a Titan since the fall of Wall Maria,

with the help of Captain Levi's Special Ops Squad.

The operation used a new trapping method proposed by Hange,

and not a single casualty was taken.

Your dream is where my heart belongs.
