Attack on Titan (進撃の巨人)

In other words...

It's possible for us to plug that hole in Wall Maria now.

The Scout Regiment hurry their preparations for retaking Wall Maria.

Hell yeah! We did it, Eren!

Eren?

Let's hurry... make weapons, and get going...

...to Shiganshina.

Seems if I inject this... I'll turn into a Titan.

There came another...

One more thing to shape their fate had been found.

Sorry I'm late.

Well?

Have we discovered what's in the container?

The thing is...

With our technology, I'm afraid we can't dig much deeper.

Like we've heard from Eren and Historia,

it seems to originate from some sort of human bodily fluid.

However, it vaporizes when exposed to air, making analysis difficult.

Whoever made it must have had technology far superior to ours.

If it was the Reiss family, I can't imagine how...

Hmm...

In that case, instead of tampering with it,

we should use it to achieve our current objective.

But who do we entrust it to?

Erwin, to you?

No...

I'm no more than a wounded soldier.

This box belongs with one of our elite soldiers who has the best odds of survival.

Levi, would you keep it?

If it's an order, just say so.

Why even ask the question?

We can't predict in what situation we'll have to use this.

We'll be relying on you to make a decision on the fly.

Judging when and who to use it on will be for you to choose.

Can we leave that to you?

If this dream of yours comes true, what will you do then?

I... don't know.

I won't until it happens.

I see... All right.

I'll do it.

By the way, I'd like to unveil that work of mine soon.

Have you given it thought?

You still haven't given up on that?

If the public saw that repulsive display,

trust in the military would hit rock bottom.

You don't know art when you see it.

"Night of the Battle to Retake the Wall"

In other words, Eren's father, Grisha Jaeger...

...is likely a human who came from outside the walls.

Yes.

Just like Annie, Reiner, and Bertholdt, he possessed the Power of the Titans.

But different from those three, he was supportive of humanity within the walls.

If he was so interested to know about the Scouts and such,

we could've used more of that support of his.

I wonder...

From the moment he entered the walls,

he was searching for the royal family all alone, I'm sure.

And that...

That's not something you do without incredible resolve.

That same father wanted to show his 10-year-old son, eager to join the Scouts,

the basement of their house.

On death's door, he said the truth of it all was... in the basement.

What in the world do you think is down there?

Things which mustn't be said.

No...

Things Grisha Jaeger couldn't say, even if he wanted to.

That which the First Reiss King wiped from our memories...

...memories of our world...

...is what I hope, but...

Pondering about it here won't accomplish much.

The preparations finished today.

The operation to retake Wall Maria starts in two days.

Want to know what's in the basement?

Let's go see for ourselves.

Isn't that what Scouts do?

Let all your squads know.

Right. Keeping it secret of course, yeah?

On a day like this, we deserve some meat, right?

Good idea. Gotta show those kids us adults can be counted on.

What about Commander Sadies keeping secrets from us?

Forget about him. We don't have time to deal with it.

I'm shocked, Hange. You used to adore him!

Shut up!

What is it, Levi?

It's a bit hasty, but...

What will you do after retaking Wall Maria?

I'd guess a defense plan comes first, but...

After that?

Eliminating threats.

Outside the walls, there seems to be someone hoping Titans will eat us all.

Of course, the answer to who is in the basement, I imagine.

It's as I said earlier.

We'll plan that after the basement.

I'm asking this because you might not live that long.

You can't exactly move like you used to.

Let Hange call the shots.

You'll just be dead weight.

Let the good news come to you.

We'll tell the others I argued till you gave in.

No... That's actually what I intend.

Fine with that?

I'm not.

I'm fine being food. Use me as bait.

The chain of command still remains.

If I'm gone, then Hange.

If Hange's gone, the next.

It's true, this operation will be dangerous, but...

...to humanity, it's more important than anything else.

That's why I've gone to such lengths.

This is all my plan.

If I don't do it, the success rate will plummet.

That's right. The operation might fail, but...

If you bite the dust in the process, we're doomed.

So just sit at your desk and keep using your head.

That's the last thing the Titans would want.

And for humanity, it's the best thing going for us.

No, you're wrong.

Our best option is for me to gamble it all...

Hey, hey, hey, hey! Hold up...

Keep using that bluff around me and I'll break both of your damn legs.

I'll make it nice and easy to attach them later.

But the operation to retake Wall Maria will proceed with you weeping here.

It'll be a bitch to get to the toilet though.

I'd like to avoid that.

What you're saying is right.

A wounded soldier should stay off the battlefield.

However...

There will come a moment when we learn the truth of our world...

...and I must be there for it.

Is it that important to you?

More than your legs?

Yes.

More than humanity's victory?

Yes.

I see...

Erwin...

I'll trust your judgment.

This may be a special night, but... let's not let the public find out!

Behave like soldiers without causing a ruckus!

Eh? Meat?

What? Is this... meat?

Am I dreaming?

Tonight's the night before we retake Wall Maria!

Cheers!

Huh?! Wait!

Calm down! We'll split it evenly!

Hey! That big piece counts as two!

Hell no!

But you suck with the spear! You're useless, so gimme yours!

Say what?!

Don't you start pulling that shit, potato girl!

What the hell do you think you're doing?!

Cut it out, Sasha!

I... I don't wanna have to kill you!

You can't eat the whole thing alone!

You're eating me! Eating me! Eating me!

Sasha! That meat is Jean! Have you lost your mind?!

Do the Scouts never get fed any meat?

Pathetic...

Conny, would you knock Sasha out already?

I'm trying!

She should be unconscious, but she's still moving!

Hey, I think we've got casualties.

Whose brilliant idea was it to serve meat?

Sorry. But now we know blowing the food budget

for two months in one night results in this.

That should do it.
