**[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] ---**
