What choice do we have?
The world is a cruel place.
I'll... exterminate.
No...
I'll kill!
On that day, mankind remembered...
the fear of oppression under them
and the humiliation of being caged like birds.
Eren!
Eren...
Wohlan, Freund!
Well, friend!
Jetzt hier ist ein Sieg.
Victory stands before us.
Dies ist die erste Glorie.
Our legend begins now.
O, mein Freund!
O, my friend!
Feiern wir diesen Sieg für den nächsten Kampf!
This victory shall guide us to our next battle!
muimi na shi de atta to iwasenai
I won't let you say, "My death is meaningless."
saigo no hitori ni naru made
Not until but a single arrow remains.
Der feind ist grausam... Wir bringen.
The enemy is cruel... But we'll prevail.
Der feind ist riesig... Wir springen.
The enemy is titanic... So we'll jump.
ryoute ni wa Gloria utau no wa Sieg
Bearing steel blades of glory, we sing an anthem of victory.
senaka ni wa Flügel der Freiheit
On our backs are the Wings of Liberty.
nigirishimeta ketsui wo hidarimune ni
On our chests are our fists, tightly clenched with determination.
kirisaku no wa Ringen der Torheit
The screw of folly rips through.
soukyuu wo mau Flügel der Freiheit
Wings of Liberty dance in the blue sky.
The Wall
————— Raid on Stohess District Part —————
③
Let us pray.
For Maria, Rose, and Sina—
the three goddesses—and their well-being.
For peace amongst man.
The sacred walls mustn't be doubted.
The walls of light given form by God's hand
are the supports of our piety
and will continue to strengthen us.
A pure heart that has faith in God is what shall protect us from the Titans
and is the sole power that can keep them at bay—
A Titan?
Why here?
No...
Don't approach the wall.
The wall...
It looks like he has better control this time.
True.
However...
Eren has yet to win even once against the Female Titan.
Seeing how he's transformed, he must be committed to taking her down though.
He won't go do—
A battle isn't something that's decided by spirit.
You should know that already.
To defeat Annie, we need something more...
It's level ground!
The Female Titan is approaching level ground.
We can't use our gear there!
Split into two groups and go around!
Yes, sir!
Hurry! Hurry!
Hurry!
This is ridiculous.
Why's a Titan—
Annie...
You always had this expression that seemed to say "Everyone around me is an idiot."
You always looked disinterested.
But there are moments when even you look lively.
And that's when you demonstrate your hand-to-hand techniques.
You told me they were pointless,
but I found it really hard to believe that.
You... seemed like a terrible liar. That's what I thought.
Hey, Annie.
What in the world are you fighting for?
What great cause justifies killing people?
This is...
Squad Leader, even if we manage to capture the Female Titan here,
wouldn't this leave the town in ruins?
Even so, we're doing it.
That was Erwin's decision.
Prepare for capture.
Sir.
Eren...
I didn't hear about this.
Why are there Titans fighting here?
What in the world...
There are Titans fighting each other, you say?
Yes. The damage to the town is unimaginable.
A great number of civilian and military casualties have been confirmed.
Erwin!
Is all of this your doing?!
That's right.
Everything was set in motion solely at my command.
I do not intend to make any excuses.
You should've been well aware of the consequences of carrying out such a plan here!
How...
How could you do such a thing?!
It's all for the sake of mankind's victory.
Don't screw with me!
You're a traitor!
Even if I were to execute you now, I doubt the top brass would disapprove!
I wouldn't mind.
However...
I'd be leaving everything in your hands.
Don't let the Female Titan escape, no matter what.
Paehl's in charge of troop deployment.
Vyler's in charge of supplies.
Cooperate with them
and corner the Female Titan at the east wall.
Wait, wait!
You...
Do you... really...
believe this is for mankind's sake?
I'm convinced it's a step in the right direction.
All of you, lower your guns.
Handcuff him.
Sir!
Assemble all troops here
and evacuate citizens—
rescue operations take top priority!
Sir!
Erwin, I'll let your execution be decided by due process of law.
Once this is all over, gladly.
Levi, you stay put.
You dislike meaningless death, don't you?
Yeah, that's right.
Whether it's mine or others'.
People who are unable to abandon anything
will fail to bring about any change.
If it's required to overcome monsters,
one must toss aside their humanity.
I'm sure Annie is capable of that!
Annie...
Annie!
Annie...
At least know that Dad will be on your side.
I'll kill the Titans,
not sparing a single one.
Eren!
That's...
Eren!
Stop!
We don't know if Eren can recognize you now.
Hey... What...
What, the wall...
She's climbing it?!
This is bad!
She'll get away at this rate!
Oh no you don't!
Annie...
fall.
Annie.
I was wrong.
I won't ask you to forgive me now.
But... I just have one favor to ask.
Turn the entire world against you if you have to.
I...
will destroy everything in the world!
Even if everyone in the world comes to hate you...
At least know that Dad will be on your side.
Oh, no! He'll eat her real body too!
Eren, stop!
Eren!
I'm...
free.
So promise me...
that you'll come back.
What happened?
What the...
They're fusing?
Eren!
Don't eat our valuable witness.
You idiot!

Wall Part ①
Year 784. On the night of a seethingly hot day, a lone miner tried to dig a passage below
Wall Sina to enter the land within. A few days ago, the miner was swinging his small shovel in the coal mines when an idea suddenly popped into his head: a comfortable life might be waiting for him within Wall Sina. It was an epiphany. After that, the miner spent days searching for a suitable excavation site until he found a densely growing forest along the wall. Nobody would pass by there, and the foliage above would likely shield his operation from view of the soldiers standing guard atop the wall. With these thoughts in mind, he decided that the next night would be the time to act. The miner dug into the earth with his familiar broad shovel. The work progressed well. Before long, the hole was deeper than he was tall. To remove the dirt he dug up, he had to dump it into a cloth bag, climb up a ladder, and empty the bag outside. When he wasn't loosening his stiff muscles, he immersed himself with the digging, breaking occasionally to drink water. The miner had absolute confidence about the dig. He had been digging holes for twenty years without rest. He had learned to dig deeper, faster, and more efficiently than others. Tunnels that others could not open were cleared easily by this miner. But things were a little different that day. Hours passed, but there was no end in sight. He tested the hole's sides but to no avail. The wall's foundations were deeper yet. Even so, the miner never gave up. It wasn't because he was desperate to enter Wall Sina and find a better life. No, the miner only felt an ambition to overcome the wall. "I swear on my twenty years of digging holes—I shall conquer this wall." Such did the miner declare as he wiped away an endless stream of sweat. But after digging farther than four times his height, the miner's shovel struck solid bedrock. "Bedrock?" thought the miner. It appeared to be of the same composition as the wall's own foundations. The miner struck it with all his strength. But the shovel broke without leaving a single scratch. At last, the miner heaved a sigh that was deeper and greater than any hole he'd ever dug.

Wall Part ②
"Wall?" the miner's friend asked with a somewhat puzzled expression. "Strange, isn't it?" said the miner, who then took a sip of alcohol. "To think the wall extends so deep under the earth..." The two faced each other, sitting at a table near the back of a tavern on the outskirts of town. After work, the miner usually drank there with him, his sole friend. That day —the one after the fateful dig—both friends came after work to the tavern. As usual, neither needed to invite the other. The miner revealed the happenings of the night before. He believed his friend wouldn't tell anyone. "It could be that we're surrounded by walls both above and below ground," said the miner. "Say, to begin with, what exactly are the walls..." His friend cleared his throat and cut the miner off before taking a glance around the tavern. The other patrons seemed to be too busy drinking, making passes at the tavern maid, and chatting loudly to be looking their way. Even so, the miner didn't speak any more about the walls. If someone were to overhear, the Military Police would be quick to appear. "Well, what of it?" said his friend, regaining his composure. "Nothing's changed. I'll keep on digging holes. In the end, that's what suits me best, right?" However, the next day, the miner didn't show up for work. Same for the next and the one after that. The miner's friend went to visit him at home several times, but the miner was never around. The miner didn't have any family, a wife, or anyone else he was close to, so there wasn't a soul to be found that had an idea of where he could be. The miner's friend was at a loss for what to do. But eventually, he told the Garrison everything, including his friend's aspiration to overcome the wall. The next day, the Garrison and the Military Police Brigade together launched a large-scale search. Though the miner was a criminal that tried to pass under the wall, the search seemed excessive for just one man. The miner's friend never understood why the miner was so desperate. Just like the hole that was supposedly dug, the miner himself was never found. Afterwards, so too did his friend disappear, leaving their whereabouts a mystery to this day.
Eren.
Mikasa,
how's Annie?
Damn it!
What the hell?!
We get this far for nothing?!
Annie!
Get out of there!
Get out and own up to your actions!
Hey, that's no fair!
Annie! Annie!
Stop.
It's pointless.
Make a net out of wires!
We'll tie it up and carry it underground!
Yes, sir.
If we're unable to get any information out of Annie like this,
what'd be left?
We've suffered many casualties, but despite the lives lost, we've gained no answers.
What would that...
Mission accomplished... wouldn't be appropriate, huh?
No.
The Survey Corps can keep its head with this.
Though our chances are likely hanging by a thread.
I hope you're right.
Erwin, we have quite a few concerns about the plan this time around.
If you had a target confirmed, why didn't you seek the Military Police Brigade's assistance?
District Chief, there was a need to carry out the plan with only those who could prove
that they're not one of the Female Titan's allies, who are known to be lurking about.
Then what are your thoughts on the damage Stohess District has suffered as a result?
Our abilities were simply lacking.
I sincerely apologize.
Do you think we want apologies?!
If we had left her be,
the walls would've been destroyed, and the damage would likely have been far greater.
I see.
So, do you have some sort of proof that you prevented
mankind's demise through this extremely costly plan?
I don't believe you can get anything out of Annie Leonhart as she is now.
Indeed.
I agree.
So in other words,
this was all for nothing?
Eren.
Are you feeling okay?
Yeah...
Okay enough to feel sick.
Annie's still sealed away, I hear.
Yeah.
Damn it.
We pull off such a large-scale operation and gain nothing?
She went that far to withhold information.
Annie, I mean.
Yeah, she gave us the slip.
But Eren helped her with that.
Isn't that right, Eren?
If not for that one moment...
Yeah.
Armin's right.
I failed at the end.
When I saw Annie, I couldn't move anymore.
Armin Arlert,
Jean Kirstein,
I'm here to question you.
Okay.
Us first, huh?
Well, see you later.
Yeah.
Back then, I thought it felt great.
It was as if I felt refreshed to have my body torn apart.
Enough for me to think I might as well die then.
Eren.
I'm not thinking that anymore.
I'm glad you... came back.
Personally, I can't understand.
If it's to overcome monsters,
one must toss aside their humanity.
Otherwise, you can't win, huh?
It's one possible way for mankind to defeat the Titans—
something I think Eren can do.
Say, does exterminating them by turning into a monster
really make it our victory?
Eat.
It's not as easy as it sounds, though.
However,
I believe I've grasped a great potential with which to save mankind.
Compared to the time when we couldn't even fathom humans transforming into Titans,
we've come a long way by restraining one of our enemies.
Yes.
They're definitely out there.
Let us bring all of them to their knees—
all of the Titans within the walls.
Now it's our turn to advance upon them!
The Survey Corps and Eren Jaeger's summons to the capital were put on hold,
tatoeba ore ga ore janai toshite
If we were to assume that I'm not me,
and custody of Annie Leonhart, who is being held deep underground,
omae wa omae da to iikireru no ka
then could you be sure that you are you?
was given to the Survey Corps.
suna no utsuwa wo kowashite koboreta
I shattered a vessel of sand, spilling its contents.
However...
for mankind to realize what they're being caged by,
kokoro wo hirotte atsumerareru ka
Could you retrieve your heart and gather it all?
dareka no yobu koe ga
The sound of others calling my name
more time and sacrifices were still needed.
miminari ni kawatta
is now all but noise to me.
toki ga tomatta mitai da
It's as if time is standing still.
saa me wo samase
Now, open your eyes.
fukai yami wo ore wa nukedashita
I slipped out of the vast darkness,
hayate mitai ni nigedashita
and fled from it as swiftly as a gale.
ikita shikabane mitai datta
It's as if I was a living corpse.
oretachi wa kabe no soto e
We now head beyond the walls.
mata aouze chizu ni nai basho de
Let us meet again in those uncharted lands.
