Attack on Titan (進撃の巨人)

Fight.

Fight!

What are you doing?

Were you just saying "fight" to the mirror just now?

Hey. You said, "Fight!" Didn't you?

By "fight," what are you fighting?

If you're saying "fight" twice, does that mean there are two fights?

Keeping quiet isn't helping.

Normally, people don't talk to themselves like that.

I know I've never talked to myself in the mirror before.

By the way, I think your hair is cool.

When it's all disheveled, it's kind of like you're hardworking and carefree.

What did you come for?

What? To talk, of course.

The first time we met, didn't we talk about Titans all night?

Though you mostly listened as I blabbered on and on.

I honestly believed that…

you would never sacrifice Historia.

2 YEARS AGO

Eren, I haven't seen you since you lifted our ship a whole year ago.

I'm honored to work with you.

No, you won't be working together.

You're lucky enough to see his face.

That much is enough for me.

Today will be a joyous day.

The port is complete and we're welcoming our first outside visitor.

From Paradis Island's sole friendly nation, Hizuru…

Special Envoy, Kiyomi Azumabito.

Do you recognize this family crest?

That's…

Show it, Mikasa.

But my mom said to keep it secret.

You showed it to me when we were little.

It's a secret meant for today.

Go on.

Before she died, this symbol was passed down to me from my mother.

She said I should pass it on to my child.

What an admirable deed!

Over a century ago, the shogun we Azumabitos descended from had a son.

He was on friendly terms with King Fritz and often came to Paradis.

After the Great Titan War, Hizuru was defeated and in disarray.

In the confusion,

a child of the shogunate was left behind on the island.

You're the lost descendant of our nation's ruler!

You're the hope of Hizuru!

I still don't get what a nation is.

Anyways, now we've got leverage with Hizuru!

What if it's a trap?

I suppose we should ask Yelena's opinion.

No! That's exactly what they want!

One thing is for certain.

The sea has joined us to the world,

but we're still just a child learning to walk.

We should sit quietly and hear what others have to say.

Hey. Why did you only show Eren that symbol?

What?

You've never taken your wrist wrap off for anyone.

Well, that's…

You seem happy.

I am!

You and I were both born with a heavy burden to bear!

There's nobody else I would rather rely on!

It's a historic day for both our nations.

Today is only possible thanks to the one

who brought us together, Zeke Jaeger.

After meeting with him in secret, we agreed to an arrangement

under the condition we were able to meet Lady Mikasa.

First, please take a look at this.

That's…

What?

This is top-secret in Marley, but you recognize it?

This "omnidirectional mobility gear" is an anti-Titan weapon made in Paradis.

I procured this on my own, so don't worry.

Consider it a gift.

However, to make this work, it needs a special fuel.

They call it "Iceburst Stone."

It's a unique underground resource mined only in Paradis.

There should be traces of it inside the weapon.

Zeke Jaeger said if we cooperate with him,

our nation may just helm an industry that restores it to its former glory.

And yet, he hasn't even prospected your reserves.

But a resource like that in this age of modernization

would be worth its weight in jewels and treasure.

I'm being used as a pretext?

Yelena said the talks would go well since the Azumabitos are money-grubbers.

After all,

it's not worth the risk coming here unless money is involved.

And? What exactly is the arrangement you have with Zeke Jaeger?

As you know, Zeke Jaeger has a secret plan in mind.

To achieve it, Hizuru's cooperation is needed.

Here are his three points to protect Paradis with the rumbling.

The first is a test run of the rumbling,

to release a sample of its power and show the world its devastation.

Next is Hizuru's cooperation.

Your military must be strengthened

until the use of the rumbling isn't necessary.

Lastly, the Founding Titan and a Titan with royal blood

must be passed down.

That's the third point.

Zeke will pass on the Beast Titan to someone of royal blood.

Until their 13-year term ends,

they must bear as many kids as possible.

Even if weaponry advances,

the rumbling itself is powerful.

Unless we get rid of it,

inheriting Titans will continue for generations to come.

Is it right for us to push this problem

on our descendants to save ourselves now?

Of course not. But…

Very well. I will inherit the Beast Titan.

As long as the rumbling is tied to our survival.

Historia…

After years of getting trampled on, now we've got to breed like livestock?

If that's the price of getting to live,

Zeke Jaeger can take his damn plan and shove it!

It's too dangerous to gamble on having the rumbling.

We need to spend our time

exploring what other options are available to us.

You should know I felt the same sense of urgency.

But I still don't get why you went on your own

and put the island in danger.

Don't you care about Historia?

I ate the War Hammer Titan.

What?

It has the power to harden through the ground

and make whatever it wants.

In other words, there's no prison deep or strong enough to hold me.

I can leave whenever I want.

I have the Founding Titan and you can't kill me.

You can't kill Zeke either, even if you threaten to.

So, Hanji…

What is it you can actually do?

Tell me, Hanji!

If you've got something up your sleeve, let's hear it!

Eren, you perv!

Still in a rebellious phase?

You moron! Idiot!

Erwin, you only made one mistake in your life.

Why did you make me commander?

Come on inside, Historia.

You've got to take care of your body.

HIZURU

A SMALL, EASTERN NATION WITH ITS OWN UNIQUE CULTURE

WHOSE HEAD OF STATE IS CALLED A "SHOGUN"

PRODUCING GIFTED ENGINEERS, IT FLOURISHED IN WEAPONS AND AIRCRAFT DEVELOPMENT

We should have stuck with our plan

and fed Zeke to Historia as soon as he got to the island.

Who would have thought?

She played around and got pregnant!

In the end, she's a low-bred girl who's Queen in name only.

Hey! Quit it.

The Queen is free to choose a partner.

We've already confirmed the guy isn't anyone's lackey.

They grew up in the same area.

Back then, he apparently threw rocks at her trying to get her attention.

He started helping at her orphanage out of guilt.

He worked with his head down for years, but the one who approached the other…

was the Queen.

Who cares about their love story?

The problem is, why did the Queen decide to get pregnant all of a sudden?
