Attack on Titan (進撃の巨人)

Hey.

It's dangerous here.

Fly away…

somewhere far away.

Falco!

What?

-What is my brother doing here? -Good!

You're still talking!

Colt!

Time to run! Hold on!

Falco!

Colt? Status report?

It was a direct hit.

The Eldian Unit at the front got blown away.

And the trench?

It's hopeless! We can't dig any farther!

We can't? You're calling the shots?

An Eldian, giving orders?

Watch your tone with Commander Magath, you mutt!

But at this rate…

Falco, are you drunk?

He must have hit his head badly.

Do you remember this war we have been in for four years?

Who are you guys?

Wait. What?

Wasn't I flying around with a sword just now?

Like, whoosh!

And there were Titans that I--

I guess I'll just have to explain everything from the start.

Listen up and listen carefully, Falco.

This battle is the climax of a war that has lasted four years.

If we can take out Fort Slava…

Well, technically,

if we sink the Mid-East Allied Forces fleet in its port,

it will spell victory for Marley and end the war.

But unless we take Fort Slava sitting on the high ground,

it's hopeless to attack the port.

Why can't the Marley fleet just do it?

Seriously, Zofia? You have faith in the fleet?

It took those imbeciles four years

-to control the seas! -Oh, god!

-And guess what? -Oh, my god!

-They lost half their damn ships doing it! -It hurts!

Now they are telling us they are too chicken

to attack until we take the fort?

Screw them all! They are pricks!

Udo, you're going to squeeze Falco's head off.

Oh, my! Sorry!

So what's the deal?

Why did they send us Warrior candidates to the front lines?

To judge us, obviously.

To pick which one of us will be the next Warrior.

The time is coming.

Commander Magath chose the front lines to be our final test.

He knows what's on the horizon.

The plan to conquer Paradis needs a main player…

The successor of the Armored Titan!

The Armored Titan…

I wonder which one of us it will be.

Really, Gabi?

It sounds to me like you're saying none of us come close to you.

Because you don't, right?

Well, Gabi does have us beat.

As far as our grades go.

No. There's more to it than grades, Udo.

I keep telling you.

The difference between us is that I'm prepared.

To shoulder the fate of us Eldians

and to slaughter that island of devils,

who have done nothing but make us suffer!

I'm going to win this battle

and prove that the Eldians left in this world are good Eldians!

I refuse to lose until I free everyone from the internment zone!

Well, what exactly are you doing?

Pretty cool, right?

It won't work, Commander Magath!

We can't destroy the railroad without the machine gun slaughtering us first.

They've got soldiers along every inch of the trench.

To top it off, the fort can bombard us whenever they want.

If we stay here too long, they will just shower us with shells!

Do you have a better idea, Colt?

We should let Jaw and Cart loose.

Galliard and Pieck will get it done.

They will wipe out the trench and bunker in a flash.

No.

If we play our cards wrong, we lose.

Commander Magath, "that" showed up.

What's "that"?

That.

An armored train.

It's equipped with four massive cannons in total.

They are the Allied Forces' new weapon, Anti-Titan Artillery.

If one of those 150mm rounds hits a Titan, it will kill it in a single hit.

Even one of the Nine.

But both of our Titans are incredibly fast.

The odds of hitting their nape--

And if they did?

We would lose a Titan and a Warrior,

with no guarantee that we would get their powers back.

That's right.

Just like our plan nine years ago to retake the Founding Titan

that resulted in us losing the Colossal Titan and Female Titan.

The perceived hit to Marley's military might is what sparked this war,

putting the Paradis Island Operation on hold.

What is it that makes our motherland, Marley, so great?

The Power of the Titans.

Correct.

Our nation won't last if we keep losing them.

The Power of the Titans is absolute,

and it must always remain that way.

Prepare the Eldian Unit for attack!

-Yes, sir! -Commander Magath! But that's--

What's the matter, Eldian?

Are you not Warriors who swore loyalty to Marley?

This is a chance for the 800 Eldians here

to serve our motherland with honor.

All creatures drink of joy at nature's breast…

Everyone, up! Prepare to attack!

Come on! Stand up!

Eldians!

Your mission is to assault and destroy the enemy railroad!

The suicide squad will rush the bunker and disable the machine gun!

Listen up!

Let your actions purge the disgrace of being spawn of the devil!

This is your chance to be honored by our great motherland, Marley!

Prove yourselves worthy!

-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir!

You Warrior candidates are to stand by.

The 800-strong Eldian Unit must destroy the rail at whatever cost.

As long as that armored train is patrolling the fort,

the Armored Titan and Beast Titan can't do what they came for.

But…

Colt.

As the chosen successor of the Beast Titan,

learn what it means to lead already.

Perfect. We can destroy the train, too.
