[00:01] ---
    In the year 845, the Colossal Titan and
    the Armored Titan suddenly appeared
[00:09] ---
    and destroyed one of humanity's walls--
    and everyday life with it.
[00:13] ---
    Stop!
[00:19] ---
    Humanity abandoned Wall Maria,
[00:22] ---
    lost 20% of its population
    and one-third of its territory,
[00:26] ---
    and was forced to retreat
    behind Wall Rose.
[00:32] ---
    However, this didn't mean all
    of humanity yielded to the Titans.
[00:39] ---
    The Garrison Regiment
    strove to reinforce the wall,
[00:42] ---
    and young cadets were acquiring the
    skills and knowledge to defeat Titans.
[00:49] ---
    During that time...
[00:52] ---
    "Year 850"
[00:55] ---
    ...in the Trost District,
    Scout Regiment elites
[00:59] ---
    were once again about to
    set foot in Titan territory.
[01:07] ---
    Thirty seconds to the gate opening!
[01:10] ---
    All hands, prepare to depart!
[01:14] ---
    Oh, I can't stand the waiting.
[01:17] ---
    Hey, Levi!
[01:18] ---
    The answer's no.
[01:20] ---
    I haven't said anything yet.
[01:22] ---
    You want me to help you
    capture a Titan, right?
[01:25] ---
    I don't care to go to
    that kind of trouble.
[01:29] ---
    What about you, Miche? You want in?
[01:33] ---
    As always, boring men
    with their boring responses.
[01:43] ---
    The 49th expedition beyond
    the walls now begins!
[01:47] ---
    Advance!
[01:56] ---
    Yahoo!
[01:59] ---
    Hange!
[02:00] ---
    All you Titans, here I come to see you!
[03:36] ---
    "Ilse's Notebook:
    Memoirs of a Scout Regiment Member"
[03:49] ---
    Hold on a minute, Erwin!
[03:52] ---
    I get that setting up a supply
    base is a top priority,
[03:57] ---
    but I thought figuring out
    what the Titans really are
[03:59] ---
    is the Scout Regiment's primary goal!
[04:02] ---
    You realize that, too, don't you?!
[04:05] ---
    Um, Section Commander... Is that any
    way to speak to the commander?
[04:10] ---
    Shut up!
[04:11] ---
    For that, we absolutely need
    to capture a Titan!
[04:15] ---
    I am of course aware
    of how unrealistic it is.
[04:18] ---
    The last time one was captured
    successfully was over 15 years ago.
[04:22] ---
    And over 20 people
    were lost in the process.
[04:25] ---
    But if we're afraid of loss,
    we can't acquire information!
[04:29] ---
    All right, make yeast a priority.
[04:32] ---
    Understood, sir.
[04:33] ---
    How many times must I say it?
[04:35] ---
    I don't have soldiers to spare
    for a capture operation.
[04:39] ---
    More than ten were already lost
    just reaching this place today.
[04:43] ---
    I'm aware of that, but--
[04:45] ---
    Hange.
[04:47] ---
    Request denied.
[04:50] ---
    H-Hey!
[04:52] ---
    Hold on, Erwin!
[04:55] ---
    I reckoned t'were doomed to fail, Hange.
[04:58] ---
    You gotta put yer life on
    the line just killin' a Titan.
[05:02] ---
    If the day come when we capture one alive,
    no amount of lives'll be enough.
[05:07] ---
    Picture this, Oruo.
[05:09] ---
    Let's say Levi is trying
    to kill you. For real!
[05:13] ---
    What do you do? Can you fight him and win?
[05:16] ---
    I'd stand no chance!
[05:19] ---
    And yer chokin' me!
[05:21] ---
    Want me to tell you how you can win?
[05:25] ---
    Through thorough investigation.
[05:27] ---
    Based on his behavior, you find out what
    food he dislikes, his taste in women,
[05:31] ---
    how often he goes to the bathroom,
    that sort of thing!
[05:36] ---
    That way, you'll find a weak
    spot you can exploit.
[05:40] ---
    Unless you fight him on those terms...
    you're sure to be killed!
[05:47] ---
    Hange!
[05:48] ---
    Section Commander! This goes too far!
[05:54] ---
    Sorry, sorry.
    But hey, that's the way it is.
[05:58] ---
    Section Commander!
[06:01] ---
    Shit. Nearly died f'real.
    That one's insane. Talk about nuts.
[06:09] ---
    Look, you're technically also
    a member of the Scout Regiment.
[06:14] ---
    Isn't it time you stopped
    talking like a bumpkin?
[06:16] ---
    Huh? How's it any a' yer business?
[06:19] ---
    Petra! Have you finished your gas refill?
[06:22] ---
    Y-Yes sir, Eld! Almost!
[06:53] ---
    There's one in the forest!
[06:55] ---
    Everyone, on alert!
[06:57] ---
    Section Commander!
    Going alone is dangerous!
[07:01] ---
    I'll go help myself, Erwin!
[07:03] ---
    Wait, Hange!
[07:05] ---
    Levi!
[07:07] ---
    That fool...
[07:16] ---
    Found you!
[07:18] ---
    Hello! Nice weather today!
[07:25] ---
    That's the way.
[07:27] ---
    Hey, listen. Since you're talking a walk,
    why not come with me inside the wall?
[07:32] ---
    How about it?
[07:34] ---
    That was close!
[07:37] ---
    Oh, man. Are you okay?
[07:44] ---
    Come this way!
[07:52] ---
    That's right, good boy!
[07:57] ---
    This way, stupid.
[08:03] ---
    Hey! Don't interfere!
[08:09] ---
    Good, good! That's the way!
[08:18] ---
    Huh?
[08:25] ---
    Uh, hey! Wait a minute!
[08:32] ---
    Hey! Where're you going?!
[08:37] ---
    What's that big dumbass doin',
    runnin' on home?!
[08:41] ---
    Even if it's an Abnormal,
    there's something strange about it!
[08:43] ---
    Yeah, it doesn't match any pattern
    that's been reported thus far!
[08:47] ---
    Well, doesn't the fact that it diverges
    from every pattern make it an Abnormal?
[08:51] ---
    It doesn't matter.
[08:54] ---
    We'll kill it here.
[08:57] ---
    Come on! Wait, already!
[09:05] ---
    Is it headed to some specific place?
[09:08] ---
    Would even an Abnormal
    Titan do such a thing?
[09:32] ---
    What?
[09:35] ---
    What's the matter?
[09:39] ---
    What're you doing?
[09:42] ---
    Is this the place you
    were trying to reach?
[09:52] ---
    Close call!
[09:58] ---
    What is it? What's wrong?
[10:00] ---
    I'm listening.
[10:06] ---
    Got 'em!
[10:07] ---
    Oruo, wait!
[10:08] ---
    Pardon?
[10:29] ---
    You okay?
[10:31] ---
    Captain...
[10:34] ---
    I'll follow ya fer life!
[10:37] ---
    But this little one was
    my precious test subject...
[10:43] ---
    If we had just captured it, humanity
    might have taken a step forward!
[10:49] ---
    Quiet, you damn four-eyes!
[10:51] ---
    If you want to become Titan shit,
    I won't stop you.
[10:55] ---
    But don't expose subordinates to danger!
[11:00] ---
    Titans don't defecate. Because they
    don't have digestive organs.
[11:15] ---
    Um... Captain?
[11:19] ---
    What is it?
[11:20] ---
    Do you... s-suppose the Titan did that?
[11:26] ---
    No, I mean, how could it?
[11:29] ---
    What is it, already?
[11:47] ---
    A 34th expedition armband...
[11:50] ---
    This solder died a year ago. Name of...
[11:56] ---
    ...Ilse... Langnar...
[12:00] ---
    It's hard to believe a Titan
    would do such a...
[12:06] ---
    Levi? What's that?
[12:10] ---
    This is... Ilse Langnar's
    military achievements.
SIGN    "Information Available for Public Disclosure" "The Ecology of Titans - 1" "The origin of the Titans is not recorded in existing historical records, and nearly all aspects thereof are unknown."
SIGN    "Information Available for Public Disclosure" "The Ecology of Titans - 2" "A Titan's sole behavioral principle is the devouring of people. But based on various data and records, the purpose for this is suspected to be 'slaughter' rather than 'predation.'"
[12:35] ---
    My name is Ilse Langnar.
[12:38] ---
    I took part in the 34th
    expedition beyond the walls.
[12:42] ---
    In charge of the 2nd
    Brigade's leftmost wing.
[12:46] ---
    On our way back, we encountered Titans.
[12:51] ---
    I lost my squadmates, and my horse,
    and I abandoned my broken ODM gear.
[13:03] ---
    Now I run, to the north.
[13:11] ---
    Outside the walls, where the
    Titans rule, I'm now horseless.
[13:17] ---
    Human legs can't outrun a Titan.
[13:20] ---
    And I have nobody to depend on.
[13:23] ---
    Getting back to the city
    alive seems hopeless.
[13:29] ---
    But it's conceivable I can reach the wall
    without encountering Titans.
[13:34] ---
    Yes, now is not the time
    for me to cringe in fear.
[13:40] ---
    I've been prepared for this situation
[13:42] ---
    since the day I volunteered
    for the Scout Regiment.
[13:46] ---
    I'm one of the Scouts, the wings
    of humanity who fear not death.
[13:52] ---
    Even if I end up losing my life,
    I'll fight to the very end.
[13:57] ---
    I have no weapons, but I can fight!
[14:00] ---
    I'll record all this on paper,
    and do all that's within my power!
[14:06] ---
    I won't give in!
[14:08] ---
    I... won't give in!
[14:40] ---
    I-I won't... give in!
[14:45] ---
    Titan encountered.
    Seven... No, six meters tall.
[14:51] ---
    It's not eating me right away.
    Must be an Abnormal.
[14:57] ---
    And now, I face the end.
[14:59] ---
    This is it!
[15:02] ---
    I've been so selfish!
[15:04] ---
    I haven't given anything back
    to my parents! It makes me sick!
[15:10] ---
    It's over!
[15:12] ---
    Subjects...
[15:16] ---
    ...of... Ymir...
[15:24] ---
    It just... spoke.
[15:28] ---
    The Titan spoke.
[15:31] ---
    That can't be.
[15:33] ---
    Lady... Ymir...
[15:37] ---
    Welcome.
[15:42] ---
    It uttered words that have meaning.
[15:45] ---
    "Subjects of Ymir."
    "Lady Ymir." "Welcome."
[15:50] ---
    I'm sure of it--the look on
    this Titan's face changed.
[15:56] ---
    It adopted a pose that
    indicates respect for me.
[16:03] ---
    Unbelievable. For probably
    the first time in human history,
[16:07] ---
    a connection has been made with a Titan!
[16:12] ---
    Wh-What... are you guys?
[16:17] ---
    I ask the Titan about its existence.
[16:20] ---
    It moans unintelligibly.
[16:24] ---
    Where did you come from?
[16:26] ---
    I ask about its origins.
[16:29] ---
    No response.
[16:31] ---
    Why do you... eat us?
[16:35] ---
    I ask about its purpose.
[16:42] ---
    Why do you eat us?!
[16:44] ---
    You guys don't die, even if you don't eat!
[16:47] ---
    So why?! You're senseless
    hunks of flesh, aren't you?!
[16:50] ---
    I wish you'd just drop dead!
[16:59] ---
    What?
[17:00] ---
    What's this?!
[17:13] ---
    Why?! What's it doing?!
[17:18] ---
    No!
[17:21] ---
    Caught over big mouth stink many teeth
    but not sharp breath hot and moist--
[18:10] ---
    Commander Erwin Smith.
[18:12] ---
    This is a proposal to resume the Scout
    Regiment's attempts to capture Titans.
[18:19] ---
    As a perusal of the enclosed copy
    of the notebook should make clear,
[18:23] ---
    it seems to suggest
    one thing in particular:
[18:26] ---
    We are still ignorant
    where Titans are concerned.
[18:33] ---
    The Titan Ilse Langnar encountered
    "uttered words that have meaning."
[18:37] ---
    It "adopted a pose
    that indicates respect."
[18:40] ---
    Moreover, it did not fully eat Ilse, but
    deposited her remains in a tree hollow.
[18:49] ---
    For safekeeping, by all appearances.
[18:52] ---
    As will someday be understood, it's the
    first such documented case in history.
[19:01] ---
    Ilse gave her life down to the last
    drop to obtain this information,
[19:06] ---
    and I think we have a responsibility
    to put it to further use.
[19:22] ---
    The efforts she demonstrated toward
    ascertaining the true nature of the Titans
[19:27] ---
    must not go to waste.
[19:30] ---
    It must be continued, no matter what.
[19:38] ---
    No matter how little information is
    thusly acquired, it will never be in vain.
[19:47] ---
    Someday, it's sure to prove useful
    for when humanity strikes back.
[19:53] ---
    I believe that.
[19:56] ---
    2nd Section Commander Hange Zoë.
[20:10] ---
    Um, Hange...
[20:13] ---
    So, you guys are into
    following people around?
[20:19] ---
    About what happened... I'm sorry!
[20:23] ---
    We could've caught that one.
    if I hadn't screwed up.
[20:27] ---
    Guess that would've been
    useful for humanity.
[20:30] ---
    My life'd be a cheap thing
    to lose, for that--
[20:37] ---
    No, I'm the one who should apologize.
[20:40] ---
    I nearly got you killed.
[20:44] ---
    I'm sorry.
[20:46] ---
    But never say your life is cheap again.
[20:52] ---
    Got it?
[20:58] ---
    Oh... A-Are you okay?
[21:00] ---
    Oruo! Get a hold of yourself!
[21:06] ---
    By the way, Erwin gave the go-ahead.
[21:11] ---
    Oh.
[21:16] ---
    Yahoo!
[21:19] ---
    Twenty days later, Section Commander
    Hange Zoë received help
[21:25] ---
    from Captain Levi's Special
    Operations Squad,
[21:28] ---
    and succeeded in capturing the first
    Titans since the fall of Wall Maria.
[21:35] ---
    At that time, a new capture process
    devised by Hange was used,
[21:40] ---
    and not a single life was lost.
[21:44] ---
    
[21:46] ---
    
[21:48] ---
