"Draw your blades." "it'll only be for a second." "Go!" "It's fast!" "there's no way to foresee and evade its attacks!" "It'll catch us!" "let's switch to Maneuver Gear!" "Captain!" "You won't escape!" "Reinforcements from the rear!" "your orders?" "!" "Let's go for it!" "It's dangerous..." "We should kill it!" "it will catch up with us!" "We kill it here..." "That's why we came to this forest!" "Captain?" "your orders!" "cover your ears." "Bite 57th Expedition Beyond the Walls (3)" "A noise grenade?" "What is your job?" "To just let yourself be swayed by whatever you're feeling at the moment?" "it's not." "Our squad's job is to keep the brat from getting a single scratch on him." "Even if it costs our lives." "It wasn't to keep watch on me?" "got it?" "Roger!" "Keep going?" "For how long?" "And it's right on top of us..." "Again!" "The reinforcements!" "they'll be wiped out again!" "eyes on the road!" "Sir!" "Keep your pace up..." "Stay at top speed!" "sir..." "Why?" "!" "who will?" "Another one's dead..." "And maybe we could've saved him!" "One's still fighting..." "We could still make it!" "eyes back on the road!" "Keep going!" "Are you telling me to look away?" "To abandon my comrades and run?" "!" "that's right!" "Obey the Captain's orders!" "I don't understand why we're leaving them to die!" "Or why he won't explain!" "Why?" "!" "That's because the Captain decided the reason should not be explained." "You just don't understand because you're still green!" "then shut up and obey!" "No..." "I can fight on my own." "Why am I relying on others?" "I can just fight on my own." "Eren?" "You're only allowed to do that if your life is in danger." "You promised us!" "Eren!" "You aren't wrong." "do it." "I can tell." "He's a real monster." "And it has nothing to do with his Titan power. he will never submit to anyone." "417)}I just want to slaughter the Titans." "the difference between your decision and ours is experience." "But you don't have to rely on that." "Choose." "Believe in yourself." "Or believe in the Survey Corps and me." "I don't know..." "I never have." "I can believe in my own abilities or the choices of companions I trust." "But no one ever knows how it will turn out." "So choose for yourself whichever decision you'll regret least." "Eren!" "Have faith!" "I came up with a way that'd only half-kill you." "Sir?" "I said I'd only be able to stop you as a Titan if I killed you." "But this method would only badly wound you." "it relies on the squad's skill." "The idea is to cut you right out of the Titan's neck. but they'd just grow back like a lizard's... really." "Wait." "I don't know how they grow back." "Is there some other way..." "So you're saying you don't want there to be any danger or sacrifice?" "N-No..." "Then just resolve yourself." "too..." "The danger for us is that you might kill us." "So don't worry." "Yes..." "Understood." "I can do experiments?" "It's very risky." "But that doesn't mean that we can't use him to investigate." "right? learn to understand it." "It's well worth any risk to our lives." "Eren?" "I'll use the smoke round to notify you." "any decisions are up to you." "Roger!" "This dried-up well could hold even a mindless Titan..." "Probably!" "That's the signal." "I haven't tried to control the Titan." "Squad Levi might kill me this time..." "Did he not see the signal?" "No..." "His ability just isn't that reliable." "Eren!" "We're calling it quits for now." "Did something happen?" "Hanji..." "I can't become a Titan." "either?" "No. our main goal of sealing Wall Maria is off the table." "This is an order..." "Make it happen." "sir." "Eren." "But... it just means you're more human than I thought." "Better than rushing into something and getting killed." "This isn't meaningless." "Yeah..." "We can't be too careful." "Why is everyone so calm?" "Are they okay with my being unable to turn into a Titan?" "Are you okay?" "Yes..." "Hey..." "What's that?" "What was that explosion?" "Why now?" "!" "Calm down." "Captain Levi!" "This is..." "I said to calm down." "All of you." "Information We Can Share So Far:" "is swapped out each time." "Information We Can Share So Far:" "Smoke Rounds (2) The signal color changes per message:" "Red — Titan sighted." "Green — Change course." "Black — Aberrant sighted." "What?" "What was that sound?" "Eren..." "What's the meaning of this?" "!" "Sir?" "Why now?" "Without permission?" "Answer me!" "wait." "Eren!" "What are you thinking?" "that can wait... humanity's enemy!" "Prove it!" "Now!" "That is your responsibility!" "I dare you to make a single move with that arm!" "I'll cut off your head!" "I can do it..." "I'm serious!" "Want to try me? I said to calm down." "get away from Eren!" "You're too close!" "you're the ones who should get back." "Get back." "Why?" "!" "My intuition." "Eren?" "Say something!" "Like I said..." "No sudden movements!" "Eren!" "I said I don't understand." "Answer us!" "You think we can't kill you?" "I'm serious!" "Do it now!" "Are you even listening?" "let's do this!" "Are you humanity's—" "Please shut up for a second!" "Eren!" "Can I touch that arm?" "!" "right?" "Right?" "Just let me touch it!" "Hanji..." "Wait a second!" "It's... hot!" "it's really damned hot!" "Unbelievably hot! you're too reckless!" "Eren?" "How does it feel where the right hand connects?" "I really want to see!" "That's right..." "If I just pull out this hand..." "Stupid thing!" "Eren..." "Don't do anything rash!" "What?" "!" "Eren..." "That was too fast!" "I still wanted to investigate some things..." "Captain..." "How do you feel?" "324)}Not..." "Not so good..." "I didn't understand..." "That they doubted me so much." "Of course they do." "That's why I chose them." "People say you only truly become a full member of the Survey Corps after making it back alive from a mission." "you never have enough information." "no matter what." "They've had to cultivate the ability to take quick action and to make ruthless decisions by assuming the worse case scenario." "But that doesn't mean they've become heartless." "It's not like they felt nothing when they turned their swords on you." "Captain Levi..." "Squad Leader Hanji wants to see you." "Take a long crap?" "it was pleasantly quick." "I wasn't sure what to tell the brass." "for now..." "Look at this." "A teaspoon?" "Yes." "The right Titan hand Eren created was holding this." "between its index finger and thumb." "It's hard to imagine that was an accident... the heat and pressure didn't warp the spoon at all." "Anything come to mind?" "I was trying to pick it up..." "I transformed right after." "I see..." "That may explain why you couldn't transform earlier." "Kill the Titans." "Block the cannon shell." "Lift the boulder." "you had a clear goal before you transformed." "My theory is that your self-inflicted injury probably isn't the sole trigger." "as well. it was like when I blocked that cannon shell." "But..." "I turned into a Titan to pick up a spoon?" "What the hell is this?" "you didn't deliberately change without permission?" "sir." "Huh?" "Eh?" "what are you doing?" "That hurt..." "This isn't easy." "Eren." "We made the wrong decision." "This is a small price to pay." "Not that it makes a difference." "Keeping you under control is our job." "And there's nothing wrong with that." "So don't get cocky!" "Eren..." "We've been so jumpy." "You must be disappointed in our stupidity." "even so..." "We're going to rely on you." "And we want you to rely on us." "So..." "Have faith in us..." "Eren!" "You're taking too long!" "Decide!" "I'll go forward!" "Let me go!" "I'm sorry!" "Target is accelerating!" "Go!" "We will outrun it." "It's impossible to outrun it... it'll stomp us all flat!" "But... even if it meant abandoning our comrades." "Captain Levi has been looking forward this whole time." "And the rest of the squad and put all their trust in him." "too..." "Like they believed in me!" "Fire! and switch to Maneuver Gear." "You guys will be off on your own for a while." "lead the squad." "hide Eren." "Take my horse." "He can't intend to take that Titan alive?" "Eren?" "See that?" "We caught that Titan!" "This is the power of the Survey Corps!" "fool." "Well?" "Do you get it now?" "Yes!" "Looks like it's stopped moving..." "We can't lower our guard." "leading it here." "Men in the rearguard squads died buying us the time we needed." "We couldn't have done it without them." "Is that so?" "It is." "we'll be able to see who's inside this thing." "I hope they haven't pissed themselves..." "Erwin Smith's secret plan was to capture the Female Titan." "but..."
