Original subtitles

In the year 845, the Colossal Titan and the Armored Titan suddenly appeared

and destroyed one of humanity's walls, and everyday life with it.

Stop!

Humanity abandoned Wall Maria,

lost 20% of its population and one-third of its territory,

and was forced to retreat behind Wall Rose.

However, this didn't mean all of humanity yielded to the Titans.

The Garrison Regiment strove to reinforce the wall,

and young cadets were acquiring the skills and knowledge to defeat Titans.

During that time,

Year 850

Year 850

in the Trost District, Scout Regiment elites

were once again about to set foot in Titan territory.

Thirty seconds to the gate opening!

All hands, prepare to depart!

Oh, I can't stand the waiting.

Hey, Levi!

The answer's no.

I haven't said anything yet.

You want me to help you capture a Titan, right?

I don't care to go to that kind of trouble.

What about you, Miche? You want in?

As always, boring men with their boring responses.

We now begin the 49th Exterior Scouting Mission!

Advance!

Ilse's Notebook

Ilse's Notebook

————— Memoirs of a Scout Regiment Member —————

————— Memoirs of a Scout Regiment Member —————

Hold on a minute, Erwin!

I get that setting up a supply base is a top priority,

but I thought figuring out what the Titans really are

is the Scout Regiment's primary goal!

You realize that, too, don't you?!

Um, Section Commander... Is that any way to speak to the commander?

Shut up!

For that, we absolutely need to capture a Titan!

I am of course aware of how unrealistic it is.

The last time one was captured successfully was over 15 years ago.

And over 20 people were lost in the process.

But if we're afraid of loss, we can't acquire information!

All right, make yeast a priority.

Understood, sir.

How many times must I say it?

I don't have soldiers to spare for a capture operation.

More than ten were already lost just reaching this place today.

I'm aware of that, but—

Hange.

Request denied.

H-Hey!

Hold on, Erwin!

I reckoned t'were doomed to fail, Hange.

You gotta put yer life on the line just killin' a Titan.

If the day come when we capture one alive, no amount of lives'll be enough.

Picture this, Oruo.

Let's say Levi is trying to kill you. For real!

What do you do? Can you fight him and win?

I'd stand no chance!

And yer chokin' me!

Want me to tell you how you can win?

Through thorough investigation.

Based on his behavior, you find out what food he dislikes, his taste in women,

how often he goes to the bathroom, that sort of thing!

That way, you'll find a weak spot you can exploit.

Unless you fight him on those terms... you're sure to be killed!

Hange!

Section Commander! This goes too far!

Sorry, sorry. But hey, that's the way it is.

Section Commander!

Shit. Nearly died f'real. That one's insane. Talk about nuts.

Look, you're technically also a member of the Scout Regiment.

Isn't it time you stopped talking like a bumpkin?

Huh? How's it any a' yer business?

Petra! Have you finished your gas refill?

Y-Yes sir, Eld! Almost!

There's one in the forest!

Everyone, on alert!

Section Commander! Going alone is dangerous!

I'll go help myself, Erwin!

Wait, Hange!

Levi!

That fool...

Found you!

Hello! Nice weather today!

That's the way.

Hey, listen. Since you're talking a walk, why not come with me inside the wall?

How about it?

That was close!

Oh, man. Are you okay?

Come this way!

That's right, good boy!

This way, stupid.

Hey! Don't interfere!

Good, good! That's the way!

Huh?

Uh, hey! Wait a minute!

Hey! Where're you going?!

What's that big dumbass doin', runnin' on home?!

Even if it's an Abnormal, there's something strange about it!

Yeah, it doesn't match any pattern that's been reported thus far!

Well, doesn't the fact that it diverges from every pattern make it an Abnormal?

It doesn't matter.

We'll kill it here.

Come on! Wait, already!

Is it headed to some specific place?

Would even an Abnormal Titan do such a thing?

What?

What's the matter?

What're you doing?

Is this the place you were trying to reach?

Close call!

What is it? What's wrong?

I'm listening.

Got 'em!

Oruo, wait!

Pardon?

You okay?

Captain...

I'll follow you for life!

But this little one was my precious test subject...

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

Quiet, you damn four-eyes!

If you want to become Titan shit, I won't stop you.

But don't expose subordinates to danger!

Titans don't defecate. They don't have digestive organs.

Um... Captain?

What is it?

Do you... s-suppose the Titan did that?

No, I mean, how could it?

What is it, already?

A 34th Exterior Scouting Mission armband...

This solder died a year ago. Name of...

...Ilse... Langnar...

It's hard to believe a Titan would do such a...

Levi? What's that?

This is...

Ilse Langnar's legacy.

Currently Disclosable Information

The Biology of Titans ①

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

Currently Disclosable Information

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 took part in the 34th Exterior Scouting Mission.

In charge of the second brigade's leftmost wing.

On our way back, we encountered Titans.

I lost my squadmates, and my horse, and I abandoned my broken ODM gear.

Now I run, to the north.

Outside the walls, where the Titans rule, I'm now horseless.

Human legs can't outrun a Titan.

And I have nobody to depend on.

Getting back to the city alive seems hopeless.

But it's conceivable I can reach the wall without encountering Titans.

Yes, now is not the time for me to cringe in fear.

I've been prepared for this situation

since the day I volunteered for the Scout Regiment.

I'm one of the Scouts, the wings of humanity who fear not death.

Even if I end up losing my life, I'll fight to the very end.

I have no weapons, but I can fight!

I'll record all this on paper, and do all that's within my power!

I will not give up.

I will...

not give up!

I...

I will...

not give up.

Titan encountered. Seven... No, six meters tall.

It's not eating me right away. Must be an Abnormal.

And now, I face the end.

This is it!

I've been so selfish!

I haven't given anything back to my parents! It makes me sick!

It's over!

Subjects...

...of... Ymir...

It...

spoke?

The Titan spoke.

Impossible.

Lady... Ymir...

Welcome.

It uttered words that have meaning.

"Subjects of Ymir." "Lady Ymir." "Welcome."

I'm sure of it. The look on this Titan's face changed.

It adopted a pose that indicates respect for me.

Unbelievable. For probably the first time in human history,

a connection has been made with a Titan!

Wh-What... are you guys?

I ask the Titan about its existence.

It moans unintelligibly.

Where did you come from?

I ask about its origins.

No response.

Why do you... eat us?

I ask about its purpose.

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!

Caught over big mouth stink many teeth but not sharp, breath hot and moist...

Commander Erwin Smith.

This is a proposal to resume the Scout Regiment's attempts to capture Titans.

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

it seems to suggest one thing in particular:

We are still ignorant where Titans are concerned.

The Titan Ilse Langnar encountered "uttered words that have meaning."

It "adopted a pose that indicates respect."

Moreover, it did not fully eat Ilse, but deposited her remains in a tree hollow.

For safekeeping, by all appearances.

As will someday be understood, it's the first such documented case in history.

Ilse gave her life down to the last drop to obtain this information,

and I think we have a responsibility to put it to further use.

The efforts she demonstrated toward ascertaining the true nature of the Titans

must not go to waste.

It must be continued, no matter what.

No matter how little information is thusly acquired, it will never be in vain.

Someday, it's sure to prove useful for when humanity strikes back.

I believe that.

2nd Squad's Section Commander, Hange Zoë.

Um, Hange...

So, you guys are into following people around?

About what happened... I'm sorry!

We could've caught that one. if I hadn't screwed up.

Guess that would've been useful for humanity.

My life'd be a cheap thing to lose, for that—

No, I'm the one who should apologize.

I nearly got you killed.

I'm sorry.

But never say your life is cheap again.

Got it?

Oh... A-Are you okay?

Oruo! Get a hold of yourself!

By the way, Erwin gave the go-ahead.

Oh.

Yahoo!

Twenty days later, Section Commander Hange Zoë received help

from Captain Levi's Special Operations Squad,

and succeeded in capturing the first Titans since the fall of Wall Maria.

At that time, a new capture process devised by Hange was used,

and not a single life was lost.

Your dream is where my heart belongs.
