Original subtitles

When did you last replace your shaft

After the mop-up sir, that was six days ago

Right, she's clear

Okay you're good who's next

I'm with squad 42, Krista Lenz sir

Well let's take a look

So now we can actually get in trouble for killing Titans?

Yeah it's crazy but, they were valuable test subjects.

I know that, what I don't understand is why they're trying to find the killer among the cadets?

Right, we're worn out enough as it is from cleaning up the battlefield.

Who would have the energy?

Guess someone hated looking at those Titans even more than I did.

The sad thing is they may have actually helped the Titans more than anything

All that knowledge are lost and for what someone's personal revenge

It just doesn't make any sense.

Well it might sound dumb but I'm glad they did it

Before I had actually seen a Titan, I was convinced I wanted to be a scout and take them all on

Now I never want to lay eyes on one again

And today, we have to pick which regiment to join

Jean, are you really gonna do it?

I guess regrets the order of the day right about now

We're all wondering why the hell we ever put on this uniform

Standing here watching our friends burn

How could we possibly think anything else

Sorry Marco,

I don't even know which of these bones are yours any more

If I hadn't become a soldier I would have never had to worry about who's next

[Eren]: So you're telling me it's better to just cut our losses, is that it?

Let all the death and destruction be meaningless?

We have to fight I know that's the right thing to do,

But, I also know I'm not asuicidal maniac like he is

[Marco]: promise me you're not gonna take this the wrong way

but, I don't think you're a good leader because you're strong

I think it's because you know what it is to be weak

You're one of us, you're scared out of your mind, just like we all are

It makes you alert sympathetic

So, what am I going to do now?

Hey guys, question for you

So have you decided yet which regiment you're gonna join?

I've made my choice

It'll be rough, but...damn it!

I'm gonna join the scouts

Ah Hell,

Hey Annie, you think Jean meant it?

You think he's serious about signing up with the Scouts?

[Armin]: Wait Jean said that

[Annie]: Who cares

[Connie]: So you're sticking with the MPs, huh? I'm really starting to think I might go that way to

[Annie]: Tell me something, if someone ordered you to die would you do it?

[Connie]: What? of course not

[Annie]: Well, then my advice is do what's best for you

And what about you Armin?

[Armin]: Oh I think I might.

If the situation truly come for it

And I knew that my sacrifice might save others

Not that I'd want to

So you've decided then

I've planned to join the scouts from the start

Come on, not you too, Armin

[Annie]: I'm impressed for a mouse you've got guts I'll give you that

Thanks, I guess

You know, I'm beginning to suspect you care more than you let on

[Annie]: Huh

It's just the way you're trying to discourage us from the scouts

You're looking out for us

Is that why you're joining the MPs I bet you think you can do some good there too huh

No not really

I just want to live

The only person I'm looking out for is myself

After that whole inspection they didn't turn up one person who used their ODM gear without permission

So who could have done it

Beats me

And right now I'm more concerned with the recruitment drive tonight

How many cadets are crazy enough to join the regiment with the highest casualties

Hey Eren

You know if anyone in your class is thinking about joining us?

yeah there are a few

Or at least there were

I'm really not so sure now

Fall in

[Levi]: Make ready people

We're going on patrol

Yes sir!

[Eren]: Good morning captain reporting for duty

Eren, you will stay within 10 meters of me at all times

The only reason that you're out of your cell is because I'm keeping an eye on you understood

Yes sir

let's ride

Jean...you're really set on the scouts?

Yeah

[Sasha]: Whoa are you serious? I mean

Aren't you terrified?

Huh...of course I'm scared I'm not an idiot here.

[Connie]: Then why are you-

Because I am scared of the Titans, and I want to do something about it

But listen...

I understand that joining the scouts isn't for everybody

I won't guilt trip you

Unlike a certain suicidal maniac

Eren...huh?

Guess he's already been a scout for a while now, hasn't he?

Cadets

Fall in

Head over to the platform time to make your choice

Move it

At the end of the day

There's nothing that anyone could say to persuade you into risking your life

Same goes for me

Believe me when I say this decision is all mine

[Erwin]: good evening, I am Erwin Smith

Commander of the survey corps also known as the Scout regiment

Today you will choose your regiment

Let's cut to the chase here, the scouts need you

We need all the warm bodies we can get

After the recent Titan attack, you now know firsthand the horrors of which they are capable

As well as the limits of your own skill

However!

This battles aftermath, gave humanity a new chance for victory

I refer to Eren Yeager

After selflessly risking life and limb

He has proven beyond a doubt his unwavering loyalty to our cause

Hope lives in him

Eren didn't just help to deter the Titan invasion

He's offered as a means to discern the truth of their origin

Intel suggests that the seller of Yeager's home in Shiganshina holds a vital secret regarding our enemy

We will form an expedition to find this secret

Find it, and use it to break free from the Titans tyrannical hundred year reign once and for all

A seller Huh?

[ Things Have progressed this far? ]

If we can figure out what makes him tick we can hit him where it hurts

I know the scouts desperately need recruits, but going public with this, is out of line

Maybe it's a ploy, a coverage strategy?

Question is if he's baited the hook...

Who does he intend to catch?

Before we can reach the aforementioned seller in Shiganshina

Another problem must be dealt with

We must first retake wall Maria, of course this is much easier said than done

Now that the gate at Trost has been rendered inaccessible

We'll be forced to stage future operations from the Karanes district further east

Thus the battalion route we've spent the last four years establishing is now completely useless to us

Over the course of those four years we've incurred losses in excess of 60%

60% in four years, that's a horrifying figure

One month from now we will conduct a recon mission outside the walls

Recruits from among your ranks will be expected to take part

I estimate third of them will die

After four years most will be dead

But those who endure will be amongst the most capable soldiers alive

Now having heard this dismal state of affairs

Whoever still wishes to put their life on the line and join us...

Remain here

But first ask yourself...

Can you give your heart?

Can you give everything for Humanity?

That is all.

Those wanting to join other regiments are dismissed.

Commander, I think that you may have overly intimidated the cadet, Sir!

None of them are going to stick around.

Attention!

I'm section commander Ness

And this girl is my horse Charette

Fair warning charrette is rather partial to pulling hair

So I'd watch out if you don't want to go bald we're glad to meet you

Oh, hey stop that you freak can I get a hand here you guys?

Our training began in earnest the next day

However, the lessons were rarely combat-oriented

With an emphasis on memorizing commander Erwin's long range scouting formation

Despite being such a precisely detailed meticulously calculated formation

Eren Yeager's position was somewhat less than clear

You rookies will be here

Between the wagon defense squad and the Scout support squad

You will run spare horses, as well as relay signals

Our special ops squad will be positioned here on standby behind the Senate rank

So we'll be pretty far back then

It's the safest position in the formation

The supply wagons don't even get such fine treatment

Our goal this time around is to simply leave then come back

Today's expedition will serve as a sort of test run

To see if we got a shot at getting you all the way to Shiganshina

Understood

Either way I still don't really know how to use my ability, or if I can even control it

Eren do you understand what the commander was asking you about back then

[Who do you think the real enemy is here]

What did he mean by that? what do you guys think?

Not a clue

Well if I told you that I knew what he meant I'd be lying to you

That said-

It's entirely feasible that this operation has an alternate goal

And yet the commander has decided it's best it withhold it from the rank-and-file

If that's the case, leaving and coming back is all we need concern ourselves with.

Have faith in the commander

I will

Today's training is concluded

Return to base

I don't believe it

Oluo, may I be excused to talk to my friends for a minute

[Oluo]: Fine just don't take too long

Hey Mikasa, Armin

Eren

Man! I'm glad to see you guys

Eren, have they mistreated you in any way?

Like subjecting you to any cruel experiments or some sort of mental anguish

No, not at all

That pipsqueak took things way too far

I will make him pay for it one day

Hold on, you mean captain Levi?

Hey Eren

Long time no see

Oh hey guys

You're all here

Whoa wait if all of you are here then does that mean

You're saying that you guys all join the scouts?

Well yeah, why else would we be here

Of course

So then Jean, Annie and Marco went to the military police then?

Wait a second, you joined too?

Marco is dead

He what? wait, what are you saying?

Marco's not dead, you're just kidding around right?

I wish I could tell you he died nobly or heroically

Truth is I don't even know how he went out

He died alone, there was no one there to see it happen

Marco is dead

All right rookies form up

Your uniforms are here

So then you guys are really

Yes, we will be in the upcoming operation as well

Hey Eren I heard that while you were in your Titan form, you intentionally tried to crush Mikasa

You mind telling us what that's all about

You're wrong he thought he was just swatting a fly nothing-

I wasn't asking you

Oh by the way that cut on your cheek looks pretty deep

Just how did you get that again?

Apparently it's all true

When I was a Titan I...I tried to kill Mikasa-

Apparently? as an you don't remember whether you did or not?

So basically you can transform into a 14 meter tall monster at will

But when you do, you don't actually have full control over it

Not yet, but that's right

Do you hear that everyone? what a fine situation this is

Our lives and the fate of all mankind rest on his shoulders.

I'm guessing we'll probably all end up like Marco

Dead well before Eren even knows it

Stop it what's the point in chastising Eren now, just give it a rest

Listen Mikasa

Unlike you

Most of the rest of us

Aren't willing to just throw our lives away for him on a whim

We need a reason

The truth, we want to know what we're laying our lives down for

Otherwise he might hesitate when the time is at hand

What we want is a guarantee from Eren

Show us what you're worth

Prove it to us, we're asking you to make us believe that you're worth dying for

You think you couldn't do that?

If you can, then we're with you all the way

Right

Commander, the time approaches

Titans in the vicinity have been lured away

Gate opens in 30 seconds

Awesome it's the scouts

See that symbol?

They call it the Wings of Freedom

So cool!

This is it

The day has come for Humanity to take another step forward

Now let's show those Titans exactly what we're made of!

Open the gate

Forward

[Erwin]: It's officially begun, the 57 recon mission

Scouts move out!

The scout regiment takes up its long-range scouting formation and begins to make progress beyond the wall

Their efforts however come to an abrupt halt a new foe presents itself

An enigmatic Titan displaying intelligence
