"Year 845." "The Colossal Titan and the Armored Titan appeared out of nowhere." "along with the illusory peace of everyday life." "Mankind abandoned Wall Maria. as human activity was pushed back to Wall Rose." "Then in year 850." "Mankind's counterattack begins now!" "The target's right in front of us!" "It's the Colossal Titan!" "This is our chance!" "Don't let it slip away!" "Hello there." "It's been 5 years." "It aimed for the batteries!" "So it wasn't just a coincidence that he targeted the gate!" "He's actually... intelligent!" "this is our chance." "This is the only one that can destroy the gates." "If I can just stop him!" "There!" "You're mine!" "It burns!" "Go!" "Did I miss?" "No..." "The Colossal Titan vanished..." "Eren!" "Did you get it?" "No!" "It's the same as five years ago!" "just as suddenly as he appeared." "I'm sorry." "I let him get away." "What are you apologizing for?" "We couldn't even move—" "There's no time for chatting!" "The wall's been breached!" "the Titans will get in again!" "What are you waiting for?" "!" "The strategy for handling a Colossal Titan's appearance is already in motion!" "Return to HQ immediately!" "report every detail!" "Yessir!" "I pray for your success!" "Bring only your most critical possessions!" "Please remain calm and evacuate! the hellishness of five years ago will be repeated!" "We must stop the Titans here!" "Aimed and ready!" "Fire!" "Attack!" "You recruits have completed training and graduated into proper soldiers!" "I expect you to actively participate in this operation too!" "Hannah." "I swear I'll protect you." "Franz..." "Armin?" "!" "I'm fine!" "I'll pull it together." "But we're still in trouble!" "and no way to fix it quickly!" "We couldn't even dig out that giant rock near Zemo!" "this city will be abandoned!" "Then it's only a matter of time until they break through Wall Rose!" "they could annihilate mankind at any time!" "Armin!" "Calm down!" "This time it's different." "Mankind won't lose to the Titans!" "S-Sorry." "I'm fine... are you even taking this seriously?" "See?" "I win again." "Pixis." "Lord Balto." "Lord Balto." "You're the commander in charge of the Southern District!" "How do you expect to win against the Titans with those skills and smarts?" "Commander Pixis!" "We just got word!" "What's the meaning of this outra—" "The Colossal Titan just attacked Trost!" "The gate has been breached!" "This booze is truly top-shelf." "I humbly accept it." "Pixis!" "Pixis!" "I said wait!" "You can't just leave!" "Gather your men and focus on defending my property!" "isn't it?" "! right now soldiers are putting their lives on the line in Trost." "I'll ready your horse. even at this moment while we speak." "Who cares about their lives?" "Just let them die!" "you can't even win on the board!" "Going there yourself would change nothing!" "Your Grace." "the Commander has no need to hold back." "Quiet now." "Lord Balto." "just enjoy your peaceful day in luxurious delight as always." "Hey!" "Pixis!" "Pixis!" "Pixis!" "split up into your individual squads." "You will be under Garrison command." "and sweeping up the Titans!" "The first line of defense will be the frontline unit of the Garrison!" "The second line will be the cadet squads under our command!" "The rearguard will be the Garrison's elite units!" "We've already recieved word that the vanguard has been annihilated!" "and Titans have encroached upon the city!" "This means that the Armored Titan might show up any moment to breach the inner gate!" "That's..." "No way..." "If even Rose falls..." "Silence!" "The frontline guards are already in combat!" "There is but one goal in this defensive operation:" "Defend Wall Rose until every civilian has evacuated!" "let me remind you that desertion is a capital offense!" "Vow on your hearts to devote your lives!" "Dismissed!" "Why does it have to be today?" "I'm supposed to go to the interior tomorrow!" "Are you okay?" "No!" "No!" "No!" "Fuck off!" "Jean!" "What's with you?" "you suicidal asshole!" "You wanted to join the Recon Corps!" "You were prepared to feed yourself to the Titans already!" "goddammit!" "Calm down!" "Just chill out and accept my death?" "!" "No!" "Remember our three years of training!" "We've been on the verge of death many times during those three years." "Some actually died." "and some were sent away." "But we survived!" "Didn't we?" "!" "We're gonna survive today too!" "and you're bloody well going to interior tomorrow!" "Dammit!" "Daz!" "You can't cower there forever!" "come find me." "Huh?" "We're in totally different squads!" "nothing goes according to plan." "I'll protect you." "What are you going on abo—" "Trainee Ackerman!" "You were specially assigned to rear guard." "Come with me." "sir!" "I didn't ask for your opinion." "The evacuation is going slow." "We need as many elite guards as possible protecting the civilians." "But I—" "Mikasa!" "It's so unlike you to panic!" "Mankind is on the brink of extinction!" "No one gives a fuck about what you want!" "I'm sorry." "I lost my head." "Just one thing." "Please." "Please..." "Don't die." "I won't die." "I couldn't die even if I were killed here." "I don't know anything about this world yet." "Even the remnants of our historical literature offer no hints about the origins of the Titans." "We know next to nothing about them." "we learned from the Recon Corps' most recent reports. and therefore there are no known instances of successful communication with them." "Their body structure is fundamentally different from that of all other creatures." "and their method of reproduction is unknown." "Most of them have a physique resembling human males." "Their bodies exhibit extremely high temperature." "they show no interest in any creatures except humans. we can safely conjecture that they have no need to eat." "but annihilation." "The main factor behind the human race being driven into such a corner is the Titans' astounding ability to survive. but even such firepower couldn't stop the Titans." "though individual differences do exist." "That's crazy..." "As if their size wasn't enough to handle... are the Titans invulnerable?" "They are not." "There is one way to defeat a Titan." "Target them here." "the Titan will die without regenerating." "we use double blades like these." "and die soon." "Armin!" "Don't you think this is a great chance? surely they'll promote us right up the ladder!" "Yeah!" "Without a doubt!" "but quite a few of us are aiming for the Recon Corps this year!" "but I'm not losing this time!" "Thomas!" "Let's have a contest to see who can slay more Titans!" "No fudging your numbers!" "advance!" "Assist the frontline guard!" "Right!" "Let's go!" "Yeah!" "The Titans advanced this far?" "!" "The front guard's already been crushed?" "!" "What are our glory-hound seniors doing?" "!" "but this..." "An abnormal one!" "Watch out!" "Huh?" "motherfucker?" "!" "Eren!" "Stop!" "Don't go alone!" "you bastard!" "How dare you eat Thomas?" "!" "You're not getting away!" "Eren!" "Eren!" "Stop!" "Please stop!" "Why... am I... watching... as my comrades... get eaten?" "Why... won't my body... move?" "Armin..." "Eren!" "Eren!" "Eren!" "Armin?" "Look at this book my grandpa was hiding!" "It's all about the outside world!" "The outside world?" "isn't it?" "What if the Military Police find out?" "Who cares about that now?" "most of the world is covered by a huge amount of water called "sea"!" "And it's all salty water too!" "Salt?" "You're making stuff up now!" "Salt is a treasure!" "The merchants would've exhausted the supply!" "they can't ever deplete it all!" "No way." "There's more than just mountains of salt!" "Fire water!" "A continent of ice!" "Snowfields of sand!" "The world out there must be far more vast than the inside of the walls!" "The outside world... but my parents are going to the outside world soon!" "The outside world..." "Eren?" "It'd be great if we could explore the outside world too someday." "Eren!" "You think I'm gonna die here?" "!" "Armin..." "You told me about it..." "So I'm going... to the outside world..." "Eren!" "Hurry!" "Suddenly it started raining." "It drums quietly in the damp air." "The faintly sweet scent of the rain draws Mikasa back into memories of a tragic past."
