Attack on Titan (進撃の巨人)

You had your time, but it's over!

Look above you, morons!

Where are Eren and Christa?

It's no use!

If you don't turn yourselves in, every last Scout we captured will get the noose!

I entrusted something to Commander Pyxis.

When it comes, I will only watch.

It's up to you to decide.

You... and them.

"Reply"

That sure is a lot of wagons.

What's going on?

You don't know?

Right now, all the heads of the military are meeting inside the castle

to finally dismantle the Scout Regiment.

See?

There's the gallows for hanging their commander.

I bet it's ongoing as we speak... his final judgment.

If humanity loses the Scout Regiment, that means humanity loses their spear.

When enemies close in, you guard not with a shield,

but a spear that eliminates the threat.

Suppose now, if this instant, Wall Rose were to be breached...

The residents of Wall Rose would again flee and take refuge in Wall Sina.

But the earlier evacuation left stockpiles with no more than a few days at best.

In the blink of an eye,

most of the residents would be forced to fight for survival.

Wall Rose and Sina...

Humanity would be split in two factions and civil war would erupt.

Even if the wall was not breached,

Wall Rose is continually suffering a food shortage.

It may not be Titans that breach Wall Sina...

There's a chance the residents of Wall Rose do it first.

Reclaim Wall Maria.

If humanity is to ever hope for a future, that is the only way.

Are you implying that the Scouts are needed for such a cause?

Our duty as Scouts has always been to charge forth at the enemy.

Cowering away will not solve anything.

Or could it be... you have some sort of secret plan to overcome this ordeal?

Erwin, I don't think you understand.

The reason you're here today is not to discuss our future within the walls,

nor is it because of something as simple as murder.

Clause Six, Charter of Humanity.

"Thou shall not prioritize one's own gain over the longevity of humanity."

You're here for this grave offense.

Indeed. You've refused to hand over Eren Jaeger multiple times.

In doing so, you've violated the Charter.

But Eren is vital for reclaiming Wall Maria!

That is not for the Scouts to decide!

Eren Jaeger is a Titan whose powers are not understood!

Sheltering him within the walls is a risk to humanity!

It's absurd for a single commander to have control of him alone.

And yet, you stubbornly persisted in some plan of yours.

Not only did you feign his abduction and conceal Eren Jaeger...

...but you silenced Dimo Reeves since he knew of your plans.

This is clearly treason.

It is not a stretch to say that you're the threat to humanity.

Commander Pyxis.

Hmm?

The Garrison and Scout Regiments both risk their lives on the front lines.

How are we to know that you're not his comrade?

I'm quite disturbed that you believe we would align ourselves with the Scouts.

Nothing is more senseless than humans killing humans.

In this cramped world that we humans have, one spark will engulf all in no time.

When it came time to defend Trost District,

that's what I told my soldiers before sending many to their deaths.

If the Scout Regiment is that one spark, it should be smothered at once.

After all, if the Titans do manage to break

the wall and find hardly anyone left inside...

...those poor Titans might go hungry.

Very well.

Allow us to discuss.

Your Majesty... May we?

Erwin... Is this how you want it to end?!

In the name of the King, I will announce your judgment.

Erwin Smith.

For violating Clause Six of the Charter of Humanity,

you are sentenced to death.

Your execution will be carried out immediately.

Take him.

Is this what you wanted, Erwin?!

With this, you're...

Wall Rose...

...has been breached!

The Colossal Titan appeared out of nowhere!

Along with the Armored Titan, they broke through both gates of Calaneth District!

Currently, refugees from the East are flocking here for safety!

Establish a route for the evacuees!

Have all Garrison troops converge and defend the East!

Get the evacuees safely to Wall Sina!

Everyone, hurry! Saving the evacuees is our top priority!

...Sir!

...No! ...Sir!

Hmm?

Close up all of the gates to Wall Sina!

Don't let a single refugee inside!

Huh?!

B-But that's... all the Wall Rose residents?

Your command is to sit back and watch as half of humanity dies?

It's just like he said earlier! That's asking for civil war!

We can't let the government lose control! If that happens, it's over!

B-But... That's only a mere possibility!

It's enough for that possibility to exist!

Our authority is and always will be absolute!

Now, get moving!

Shit...

To think the wall would be breached at a time like this...

Though, there is a silver lining.

We've already found the power.

All that's left is to bide our time until the vessel takes it.

That's right. There's no need to be flustered by this little disaster.

As long as Wall Sina holds up, we'll be fine.

Yes, once Lord Reiss comes back...

Let's do it! Close the gates!

Wait!

It'll be too late if we wait!

Who gets to choose?

Who decides?

What are you doing?! Hurry it up!

It'll be treason if you don't!

I will not!

What?!

Hey...

I... am a human of Wall Rose!

I will not allow the gates to be closed!

You fool!

I will stand behind him.

Dhalis Zachary...

Are you surprised at all by their reaction, Premier Zachary?

No... Not a bit.

Zachary, what's the meaning of this?!

That report just now was a false alarm.

Rest assured.

At the moment, there has been no report of a Titan attack.

You bastards! What is this farce?!

If you want the mastermind, it's me.

Pyxis?!

It seems most of the Interior Police are off somewhere or other.

I suppose that's quite fortunate.

What do you mean?!

Earlier, I declared to you that the Garrison

Regiment isn't aligned with the Scout Regiment.

But I did forget to mention one thing...

I'm not aligned with any of you either.

While I do possess some of the same feelings as Erwin here...

...I considered leaving things up to your government

if that were the better choice for the sake of humanity.

You are, after all, much wiser than us when it comes to Titans and the walls.

Supposing you actually cared about saving as many people as possible,

I would have been fine sending Erwin to the gallows.

Of course, depending on your decision, all of us were prepared to forfeit our heads.

However, the answer you've given us is very clear!

We may be ignorant about the Titans and their powers, but...

I daresay, we in our ignorance can save far more people than you ever could!

Y-You're a fool! What do you think undermining us will accomplish?!

The citizens will never listen to you!

They'll obey whatever the crown says!

The regional lords will have none of this!

It seems you don't quite understand.

This is no mere threat.

It's a coup d'état.

We've successfully restrained the Interior Police!

Mmm.

The thing with soldiers, they'll obey their superior officer over the king.

Especially when the king in question is a fraud.

We will put in place a new ruler of our own.
