Attack on Titan (進撃の巨人)

Subtitle By Alam _Brothers1

These are... Dad's memories.

He sure looks happy.

For someone who cast his previous family and friends into hell, that is.

Why show me this?

So that you understand:

How Grisha Jaeger brainwashed and planted the seeds of nationalism in you.

I'll show you as much as it takes.

Must be nice, Grisha. Here, you can live out a happy life

without anyone to chastise you for forgetting your first family...

Even if you forget about the son you already had.

Let's go.

Next one.

Look, Eren. This is the true him.

He used his job as a doctor to get close to those in power--

to hunt down the King and steal the Founding Titan.

If he slipped up, his wife and son would suffer.

But he continued nevertheless. Do you know why?

Because he's an asshole who'd toss his family into a ditch to restore Eldia.

I get it now. I was wrong.

I never should've been born.

I'm no longer brainwashed.

We have all the time in the world. No need to rush.

You're kidding. He tracked it down this soon?

What is this place?

The King of the walls' hideout.

That can't be.

Grisha stole the Founding Titan on the day the walls fell.

That's years from now.

I see... He loved his second son enough to delay his Restorationist mission.

A stark contrast from me. It seems he learned from his past mistakes.

However, you moved exactly how Father wanted you to.

The original you is gone. Sooner or later, you'll see.

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry, Zeke...

Zeke...

Zeke...?

Is that you...?

Don't be silly. That old, bearded man can't possibly be Zeke.

This is just a dream.

What...?

Next one.

Next memory, Zeke.

"Memories of the Future"

At this point, you're nine years old.

Grisha loved you and let you grow freely.

To think, you were never brainwashed by him...

I told you this was pointless before we wandered for years in his memories.

In that case, why did you betray me?

Your father told you nothing and made you inherit a Titan,

yet you're fighting just like he wanted?

Eren, why do you oppose ending the conflict?

What were you planning to do with the Founder's power?

I am...

...who I've always been...

...from the moment I was born.

You may have thought we were the same, but you're wrong.

Rather than letting someone steal my freedom, I'll steal theirs first.

-Do you have any idea what you've done?!

-My dad didn't make me like that.

--I got rid of some dangerous animals! They just happened to look like people!

-I've been this way since birth.

-Eren!

-Since birth...?

--They would've been long gone by the time the Military Police arrived!

--You won't find the pathetic little brother you were hoping for in me.

-It would've been too late! ​

--Nor a convenient little brother to share your emotional scars with.

-Even so, you were just lucky, Eren! ​

--All I see is a man who can't accept himself

-The way you casually threw your life away is what I'm angry about!

until he denies his father's wish to restore Eldia.

A pathetic man still haunted by his dead father.

In that case, said man is grateful to his father.

For the father's actions opened his son's eyes

so he may save the world from the threat of Eldia.

In a way, it's that father who saved the world.

Don't you think that's a bit ironic, Eren?

It's warm.

Listen, Eren. I have the power of the Founder in my hand.

I can carry out the euthanization plan at any time.

But I will never abandon you.

Just like Mr. Ksaver did for me,

before I save the world, I want to save you.

"Humanity has not perished," huh?

Those are some hefty last words to leave behind.

We're home.

Welcome back.

Wow, Eren! You actually worked hard!

Yeah...

What do you want?

Your ear's red. That shows that you're lying.

You had Mikasa help you, didn't you?

Oh? You're leaving, Dad? Is it for work?

Yes. Some checkups in the interior. It'll take a couple of days.

Eren says he wants to join the Scout Regiment.

Mikasa! I told you not to say anything!

Eren! What are you thinking?!

Do you have any idea how many people have died outside the walls?!

--Y-Yeah, I know! --Then...!

Eren. Why do you want to go out there?

I want to know what the outside world is like!

I don't want to live my entire life in ignorance inside the walls!

Plus, if no one else is willing to take their place,

then the lives of all who've died will be for nothing!
