Attack on Titan (進撃の巨人)

Shit!

Eren, you're awake?

Just hang in there a while longer. Everything's fine.

Historia's all right?

Eren, listen to me.

My father has been an ally to all of humanity within the walls,

for many years past and many years to come.

We were clearly mistaken about him.

It's true that he's been a problem for the Scouts, and his people did kill Pastor Nick...

But he didn't have any other choice.

Everything he's done, he had to do for the sake of humanity.

Historia. Let me explain the rest.

It's coming back to me... Yeah...

The last thing I can remember is those two.

How long has it been?

Captain... Armin... What happened to the Scouts?

What's up with these walls, glowing like that...?

I can't tell if it's day or night...

No, hold on a second...

Haven't I been to this place before?

What's wrong? This is the first time you've come here.

Though, it wouldn't be strange if you recognize it.

What does he mean by that?

F-Father, explain to Eren.

Yes, I intend to.

However, there's something I want to try first.

If we do this, he may remember all on his own.

What... is this?

These aren't things I've seen...

No!

Whose memories are these?!

This key!

Is this...?

It can't be...

Dad?

Well?

Did you remember? Your father's sin...

"Sin"

You're amazing, Historia! Look at how well you can read now!

That's only because you taught me so much!

Hey, we can't have this. You've got a runny nose.

You need to learn to be more ladylike, Historia.

Here, blow.

Ooh!

Good! Very well done!

Hey.

Hmm?

What does being ladylike mean?

Well... I suppose being ladylike means being a lot like this girl right here.

Christa?

Right. You like Christa, too, don't you, Historia?

Yeah.

Christa is always thinking about other people because she's so kind.

You should try to be like Christa, too.

The world is full of pain and suffering,

so you should live in a way to be helpful and loved by everybody.

Okay.

In that case, I wanna be like you.

Huh?

When I grow up, do you think I can be just like you?

Sure!

Whoa!

Sure, sure! That's perfectly fine!

Whoa...

I'm sorry, Historia, but it's time for me to go.

You'll have to forget about me again.

Until we can meet again.

Huh?

Huh? Who was that girl just now?

What's wrong, Historia?

Why?

Why did I forget about that until now?

I was never alone.

That girl was always there for me.

She gave me books... Taught me how to read and write...

And was so kind to me...

How could I forget about her?

You met Frieda?

Frieda?

If it was a young girl with long, black hair...

it was most likely Frieda Reiss.

She was your half-sister.

She must have been worried and came to check up on you occasionally.

If she was erasing your memories, it was all done to protect you.

Huh? Erasing my memories?

Yes, but touching your hand to him seems to have

uncovered those memories again.

Um, Father?

Where is Frieda at now?

I'd like to see and thank her.

If she wasn't there for me, I...

I need to thank her for what she did for me then.

Frieda is no longer in this world.

Huh?

At one time, I had five children.

But my wife and all of my children, Frieda included,

were killed five years ago by his father, Grisha Jaeger.

Grisha was a person with the Power of the Titans.

I do not know who the man was, but...

...his goal was to steal the power the Reiss family possessed.

This power Grisha sought to obtain...

It was the Power of the Titans residing within Frieda.

Frieda's Titan was superior to all other Titans.

You could say her Titan had unsurpassable power.

However... She did not have the experience to properly wield it.

Unable to unleash her true potential,

she was eaten by Grisha and he stole the power.

But that's not all...

He then attacked my entire family.

His rampage sought to eradicate the Reiss family.

He crushed the 14-year-old Dirk and 12-year-old Abel.

He trampled over my wife and 10-year-old Florian still clutched in her arms.

Lastly, he took my eldest son, Ulklin, and squeezed the life out of him.

Miraculously, I was the only one who made it away.

Unbelievable...

That's how she...

Why would he do such a terrible thing?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

What the hell are you guys blabbering about in here?

I hope you know a buncha shit is going down outside.

Kenny? What happened?

The Scouts started a coup d'état and all the regiments changed sides.

Everyone knows the King's a big fake,

and all the big shots ended up getting captured.

Oh yeah, it's a royal shit show.

Only a matter of time till they show up here.

You oughta wrap it up lickety split.

Yes, all right.

Take your Anti-Personnel Control Squad and defend the entrance.

I believe I told you already that

I need you and your crew to leave for the ceremony.

Whoa, now, King. Did I make you mad?

Sorry 'bout that. I'm just so worried about you.

Kenny... I trust you. Go.

So do I, King.

Tsk.

"Information Available for Public Disclosure" "Scream" "Among those with the Power of the Titans, some have a special 'Scream.' While the Female Titan can use a 'Scream' to control Pure Titans, the royal family's Titan has a similar ability and is believed to possess the power to alter human memories as well."

From now on, you'll be digesting everything you eat from the bottom up.

Plus, the only clothes you get to wear start at your knees and below.

Of course, once a week we'll take you outside and parade you around to the public.

How beautiful...

This may very well be the finest work of art ever conceived.

All those decades I spent envisioning it paid off.

But see, only after you're publicly humiliated in front of the same people you tyrannized

will this masterpiece be truly complete.

Zachary!

You just wait and see!

The only blood in you is slave blood!

It's nothing like our noble bloodlines!

Soon enough, you'll lose your memory and even forget how to shit!

That one insult of yours is getting pretty stale!

Don't you have anything new?!

This could be bad, Erwin.

All the officials are saying similar things.

It's just as your father speculated.

The Reiss family must be able to alter people's memories as it suits them.

From the sound of it, certain bloodlines, including theirs, are immune to the effects.

How is that even...?

If Reiss is able to obtain Eren's "Scream," this uprising will amount to absolutely nothing.

As proof of that, they're spilling all their secrets with no shame.
