Over 100 years ago, natural predators of humanity appeared.
There was an insurmountable gap in power between them and mankind,
and as a result, the humans soon faced utter annihilation.
The survivors responded by constructing three walls. Wall Maria, Wall Rose, and Wall Sina...
which graced them with 100 years of peace.
However...
Year 845.
The Colossus Titan that suddenly appeared along with the Armored Titan
destroyed everything as easily as it did the wall.
Wall Maria was abandoned.
And with a fifth of its population and a third of its land lost,
mankind had its territory reduced to Wall Rose.
Year 850.
The Colossus Titan reappeared and destroyed the wall,
which allowed the Titans to invade.
Eren, hur...
Two hours later, the evacuation of all the citizens was complete.
None were devoured by the Titans,
except for those soldiers who carried out their duty by intercepting them.
Eren, if you're here, I can do anything.
A Small Blade Battle for Trost District - Part 3
Please wait, Captain!
We supply soldiers won't be able to repel the Titans alone if they attack here!
We beg of you. Please stay with us!
Out of the way.
I have to go organize the reinforcement unit.
Within the safety of the inner walls?
What the hell are you implying?
I am moving in accordance to regulations.
I will obey the rules placed for me. It's the duty of a soldier to do so!
But if this place were to fall...
Oh, shut up!
Say any more and I'll consider you a rebel and have to punish you accordingly!
The bell signaling retreat has already been rung...
so why aren't they climbing the wall?
We're... screwed.
There's no way out.
Done.
And just what will that do?
Hey, Jean, what are we gonna do?!
There's nothing we can do.
To think when the retreat signal is finally rung,
we can't climb the wall because we're out of gas.
Now we're all probably going to die.
All because of those spineless bastards.
You mean the supply squads?
What's up with them anyway? Did they get wiped out?
Apparently they lost their fighting spirit.
I can sympathize with that, but...
how could they abandon their supply mission and confine themselves at HQ?
Unsurprisingly, the Titans swarmed, making resupplying impossible.
Then we got no choice but to risk everything on taking out those Titans, right?!
It'd be better than sitting around here doing nothing!
The Titans are bound to come here too!
Even if we keep running from them, all that'll do is waste what little gas we have left.
Once we lose our mobility it'll really be over!
Seems you thought things through for once, Connie.
But do you think that's possible with these forces?
The seniors who fought on the front lines are mostly dead.
Who among us recruits could take command of a suicide mission like that?
Well, even if one of us could, we wouldn't be able to beat those Titans.
I bet a ton of 3 and 4-meter-class Titans are inside the gas supply room.
Naturally, working in there would be impossible.
So it's hopeless?
What a pointless life it's been.
I would've told her if I knew this would happen.
Let's do it, everyone!
Now, stand up. If we all work together,
I'm sure we'll succeed!
I'll spearhead it, so...
Armin, help me convin...
Reiner, what now?
Wait. We need everyone's help to pull it off.
It's hopeless.
No matter what we do, we'll all be wiped out, unable to leave this town.
It's not as if I wasn't prepared to die.
But... what in the world am I dying for?
Mikasa, weren't you supposed to be with the rear guard?
Annie!
I have the gist of the situation.
And I apologize for possibly sounding selfish, but have you seen Eren's squad?
I haven't seen them.
Nobody climbed the wall either.
Oh yeah, Armin's over there.
Armin!
Mikasa!
Oh god, how am I supposed to face her?
There's no reason for me to have survived.
I should've just died together with him back then!
Armin, are you hurt?
You okay?
Where's Eren?
Armin?
Those...
of the 34th Training Corps Squad...
Thomas Wagner, Nac Tias, Mylius Zeramuski, Mina Carolina, and Eren Jaeger
all accomplished their duties and were heroically killed in action!
No way.
So the 34th Squad was all but annihilated, huh.
The same will happen to us if we try to fight the Titans too.
I'm sorry, Mikasa.
Eren died in my stead...
I... couldn't do anything...
I'm sorry.
Armin.
Calm down.
This isn't the time to be getting sentimental.
Here, stand up.
Marco, if we eliminate the Titans swarming HQ,
we can refill our gas tanks and climb the wall, right?
Yeah, that's right.
But even if it's you, there are too many...
I can do it.
I'm... strong.
Stronger than all of you.
Far stronger.
And so, I can kick around those Titans.
Even alone.
Forget lacking talent,
you're all nothing but cowards.
It's a real shame.
Feel free to sit back and watch.
That's all you have to do.
Hey, Mikasa, what the hell are you saying?!
You're gonna take on that many Titans by yourself?!
There's no way that's...
If I can't, I'll just die.
But if I win, I'll live.
If I don't fight, I can't win.
Hey!
The real shame is your way with words.
Expecting that to rile us up...
It's your damn fault, Eren.
Hey! I don't recall being taught to leave our comrades to fight alone!
You're all gonna become real cowards!
Can't let that happen.
Hey, cowards, weaklings, idiots!
Those guys...
Damn, I'll show you.
Hurry!
Follow Mikasa!
This will be a swift, decisive battle!
Charge to HQ before you run out of gas!
Really, Mikasa's amazing.
Just how does she move that fast?
Wait, she's expending too much gas.
She'll run out in no time at that rate!
No matter how skilled you are, without mobility, you're as good as dead!
She isn't calm like usual.
She's trying to keep her emotions in check through action.
At this rate, she's going to...
Mikasa!
Damn.
Jean, take the lead for everyone!
I'll stick with Armin!
- No, me too! - What are you saying?!
There are still more Titans left!
We need your skills!
Again.
It's happened again.
I lost my family again.
Do I have to recall this pain, and start over again?
It's no good.
We can't even get close to HQ.
Without making sacrifices at least...
Damn! He's out of gas!
Stay away!
- Tom, I'm coming! - Stop! It's too late!
Stop!
Why couldn't I stop him?
Why didn't I?
Even if it was through force...
I could've...
Do I have the right?
The right to be in a position of responsibility?
No!
No, I don't want to die!
This world is cruel and...
astonishingly beautiful.
It's been a nice life.
Huh?
Why?
I thought I gave up.
So why am I standing up?
Why struggle?
For what?
Even though I have no more reason to live...
Why am I...
Fight!
Fight! Fight!
Eren.
Fight!
Fight! Fight!
I'm sorry, Eren.
I won't give up anymore.
Never, ever again.
Because if I die, I won't even be able to remember you anymore.
That's why...
I'll win no matter what!
I'll live no matter what!
What just...
A Titan is...
killing...
a Titan.
Please, Mikasa.
Be safe.
Mikasa!
Mikasa, are you hurt?!
You two okay?
Yeah.
Anyway, let's move!
Shoot, two 15-meter-class Titans!
No, one of them is...
It landed a finishing blow?!
Did it knowingly attack its weak spot?
Let's just get moving.
Before it comes this way.
No, it's completely ignoring us.
Otherwise, it would've attacked us by now.
It seemed to have a general understanding of hand-to-hand combat too.
Just what is it...?
What else, but an Abnormal?
What we know is less than what we don't.
Anyway, let's hurry to HQ.
Wait, Mikasa's out of gas.
Huh?! What, seriously?!
What are we gonna do without you?!
There's only one thing to do.
I don't have much left either, but hurry up and swap with me.
Armin!
We have no choice!
I'd just be wasting it.
But...
make sure to use it properly this time...
in order to save everyone.
I was...
leading everyone without the resolve to take responsibility for their lives.
Ignorant of that responsibility, I even abandoned my life at one point.
For selfish reasons, at that.
I...
All right, the operating device still works.
I put in all my blades too.
But just... leave me this one, if possible.
I want to at least avoid being devoured alive.
Why...
Armin.
I won't leave you here.
Back there...
I was filled with nothing but awe.
A Titan killing a Titan...
It's unheard of.
But it was faintly uplifting.
Because that scene.
Seemed to embody the rage of humanity.
A Titan-killing Titan.
Stupefied in the presence of such a being,
the 104th Trainee Squad was left speechless.
What appeared before them soon after was...
