Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) [00:04] Ar     The year 850, in Trost... [00:07] Ar     The sight of Eren Jaeger unleashing [00:10] ---     the power of a mysterious Titan [00:12] ---     was more than enough to     terrify his fellow soldiers. [00:19] E     I am a human! [00:23] Ar     He is not an enemy of humanity! [00:26] Ar     With my final breath before my death, [00:28] Ar     I shall wish for humanity's glory, [00:31] Ar     and try to persuade you     of his strategic value! [00:37] Ar     As Eren and his friends could do nothing     but argue their innocence, [00:42] Ar     they were saved by Dot Pixis, [00:44] Ar     the high commander of the     southern territories. [00:49] P     I think we should listen to them... SIGN    Icon The Battle for Trost (7) [02:34] E     I'll do it! [02:35] E     I don't know whether     I can seal the hole. [02:38] E     But I'll do it! [02:45] P     Well said. [02:47] P     You're a real man. [02:51] P     I'll call my strategists.     We'll develop a plan! [02:55] Ar     No way. [02:56] ---     That idea depends on     so many assumptions, [03:00] ---     and he's just going to run with it? [03:02] E     I was just thinking the same thing. [03:04] E     But there's no sense in     doubting his decision. [03:08] E     Commander Pixis must see potential     in something the rest of us can't see. [03:12] Ar     Something we can't see? [03:14] E     Also, I think there's a bigger     issue that must be addressed [03:17] E     before the plan can be executed. [03:20] E     And the Commander fully recognizes it. [03:23] Ar     What do you mean? [03:25] E     The Titans aren't our only enemy. [03:29] P     There's no time to waste. [03:34] P     I will need your help, young soldiers. [03:52] Soldiers     A plan to retake Trost? [03:54] Soldiers     You're kidding... [03:55] Soldiers     We have no way to seal that hole. [03:58] Soldiers     What is the brass thinking? [04:00] Soldiers     Going into Trost would be our deaths! [04:02] Soldiers     Since we can't seal the hole, [04:04] ---     all we can do is die     defending Wall Rose's gate. [04:06] Soldiers     Damn it... They want glory that much? [04:11] D     I have to return to that hell? [04:15] D     No! I don't want to die! [04:17] D     Let me see my family! [04:19] Ma     Hey, Daz, you're being too loud... [04:21] Officer     You there! I heard you! [04:23] Officer     Are you saying you want to     abandon your mission? [04:26] D     That's right! [04:27] D     This is nothing but mass suicide!     It's meaningless! [04:32] Officer     Have you no respect for     humanity? For order? [04:36] Officer     If I chose to, I could     execute you this minute. [04:40] D     Go ahead... [04:42] ---     It's a hundred times better     than being eaten by Titans! [04:45] Mar     Stop it, Daz! [04:46] D     No! Let me go! [04:48] D     I won't go back there! [04:52] Soldiers     Did you hear that? [04:54] Soldiers     Given the circumstances,     I don't blame him... [04:56] Soldiers     Hey... [04:57] Soldiers     I hope someone rebels over here, too. [05:00] Soldiers     I'd at least like to choose how I die. [05:03] Guy     Hey! [05:04] Soldier     I-It was a joke! [05:06] Guy     Do it... [05:08] Guy     Be loud... [05:10] ---     And get others to go along! [05:12] Guy     In the Garrison, plenty of     us aren't happy, either. [05:16] Guy     We'll take advantage     of the chaos and leave! [05:19] J     Leave and go where? [05:22] Guy     To see my daughter. [05:25] Guy     Eventually, this wall will also fall. [05:29] P     They say that before Titans gained     dominion over the earth, [05:32] ---     there was endless slaughter of human life [05:35] ---     in wars over race and ideology... [05:40] P     Then someone said, [05:43] ---     "If a powerful external     threat were to appear, [05:47] ---     humanity would cease     its wars and unite." [05:52] P     What do you think of that? [05:54] E     I've never heard that legend. [05:57] E     Sounds naïve... [06:00] ---     Almost silly. [06:03] P     You have a warped mind like mine. [06:07] E     Even when that powerful threat [06:09] ---     has pushed us to the     brink of destruction, [06:11] E     we still have yet to unite. [06:15] P     No, but it's high time we did so. [06:19] P     Otherwise, we won't     even be able to fight. [06:29] Ha     Eren? [06:31] Ha     He's safe, huh? [06:35] Ha     Focus on the mission? [06:38] Ha     How dare he address a     superior officer that way? [06:41] Ha     By the look of it, Mikasa and     Armin must be safe, as well. [06:46] Ha     But what's Eren doing     with the Commander? [06:58] P     You want some? [06:59] E     Yes, please! [07:10] D     Kill me! [07:11] D     If you're going to     execute me, do it now! [07:12] Guy     You're sure? I'll do it! [07:22] P     Attention! [07:31] P     I shall now explain the     plan to retake Trost. [07:36] P     For this mission, our objective [07:38] ---     is to seal the hole where     the gate was destroyed. [07:48] M     Seal it? [07:49] M     How? [07:51] P     Let me introduce you to the one [07:54] ---     who will seal the hole for us... [07:57] P     From the Trainee Corps, Eren Jaeger. [08:02] Co     E-Eren! [08:05] P     He is the result of a top-secret project [08:07] ---     to turn humans into Titans. [08:11] P     He can create and     control a Titan's body. [08:19] ---     Hey... [08:20] Co     I have no idea what the     Commander's talking about. [08:23] Co     Am I just too stupid to get it or something? [08:25] Freckles     Would you shut up, idiot? [08:29] P     He will become a Titan, [08:30] ---     pick up the giant boulder     by the shattered gate, [08:33] P     carry it over, and seal the hole. [08:38] P     Your job will be [08:41] ---     to protect him from Titans     while he moves the boulder! [08:47] Gus     We don't have to fight the Titans? [08:49] Ar     E-Excuse me. [08:51] ---     I don't mean any disrespect by     speaking up to a ranking officer... [08:54] Gus     No, continue. [08:56] Ar     Y-Yes, sir. [08:58] Ar     Titans are typically drawn to pursue     the largest number of people. [09:03] Ar     If we can take advantage of that [09:05] ---     to lure them along the walls, [09:07] Ar     we can draw most of them away from Eren [09:10] ---     without engaging them in direct combat. [09:13] Ar     And by using the cannons against those [09:15] ---     lured away, we'll     minimize our own losses. [09:19] Ar     But since we can't     leave Eren undefended, [09:23] ---     a small elite force should protect him. [09:27] Ar     And we can't avoid engaging the     Titans that come through the wall. [09:31] Ar     The skills of the elite     force will be critical. [09:34] G     All right, understood. [09:36] ---     We'll take that into account     and revise our plans. [09:38] Ar     But this will only work if     Eren can carry that boulder [09:42] ---     and seal the hole. [09:45] Ar     We are proceeding with the operation     without certain proof that he can. [09:48] Ar     I cannot help but feel doubt. [09:51] Gu     Indeed, given the uncertainty     of a crucial element, [09:55] ---     I do not relish sending many     men to their deaths. [09:59] Gu     But I do understand what     Commander Pixis is thinking. [10:02] Ar     Yes... [10:03] Ar     The first issue is one of time. [10:05] Ar     Even as we speak, Titans continue     to enter the town. [10:09] Ar     The greater their numbers in Trost,     the worse our odds of success in retaking it. [10:15] Gu     And the higher the chance     of Wall Rose falling... [10:20] Ar     And one more thing. [10:23] Ar     There's a limit to how much one     can be motivated by terror. [10:31] Guys     Lift that giant rock? [10:33] Guys     Is it possible? [10:35] Guys     Has humanity finally learned     to control the Titans? [10:38] D     You're lying! [10:39] D     I won't put my life on the line for     a plan I can't even understand! [10:43] D     What do you think we are? [10:46] D     We aren't... [10:47] D     We aren't pawns for you to sacrifice! [10:50] Guys     A human weapon? [10:51] Guys     He's lying! [10:53] Guys     He thinks we're fools! [10:54] Guys     He's telling us to die here, today! [10:56] Guys     I'm leaving! [11:01] Guys     Me, too. [11:02] Guys     And me! [11:03] Guys     I'm out of here, as well! [11:05] Officer     Wait! [11:06] Officer     You'll get the death penalty for this! [11:08] D     I'll spend humanity's last     hours with my family! [11:12] I     This is bad. [11:14] R     Yes. [11:15] R     If we don't do something,     there will be chaos. [11:18] K     Ready to die, traitors?! [11:21] K     I'll kill you right now! [11:25] P     Here is my decision! [11:27] P     I shall pardon anyone who deserts now. [11:32] P     Once you succumb to the Titans' fear, [11:35] ---     you can never fight them again. [11:38] P     Those who have learned     that fear should leave. [11:42] P     And anyone wishing their     parents, siblings, [11:47] ---     and loved ones to feel that     fear should also leave! [12:00] Girl     Daddy! [12:04] Guy     I can't do that... [12:07] Guy     My daughter is my... [12:11] Guy     My last hope. [12:16] P     Let me tell you what     happened four years ago. [12:19] P     About our attempt to retake Wall Maria. [12:22] P     As I'm sure you're all aware, [12:26] P     that operation was no more     than the government's way [12:29] ---     of dealing with its inability     to feed all of the unemployed. [12:33] ---     It was a culling. [12:37] P     The reason no one speaks     of it is because [12:40] ---     by sending them outside     these cramped walls, [12:43] ---     we were able to survive within them. [12:51] P     All of humanity, including myself,     bears the weight of that sin! [12:55] P     Because so few escaped Wall Maria, [12:59] ---     there was never any open rebellion. [13:01] P     But what about now? [13:04] P     If Wall Rose falls, [13:06] ---     the sacrifice will be more     than just twenty percent. [13:11] P     The territory within Wall Sina [13:13] ---     won't support even half     the remaining population. [13:17] P     If humanity falls, [13:19] P     it won't be because we were     devoured by the Titans. [13:23] P     It will be because we killed each other. [13:27] P     We must not die even     deeper within the walls. [13:32] P     I beg of you [13:34] ---     to die right here! [13:44] E     I don't know if I can use the     Titan's power to lift that boulder. [13:50] E     But I understand what I must do... [13:54] E     It may be a lie, [13:56] ---     but I must make it happen anyway. [14:01] E     I must become a symbol [14:06] ---     of hope for everyone!

[14:23] P     I see you're all here... [14:25] P     You have one mission. [14:28] P     To guard Eren Jaeger, [14:30] ---     eliminating any threat that     appears during the operation. [14:35] P     It will be the most dangerous and     difficult task in the entire operation. [14:39] P     It's no exaggeration [14:42] ---     to say that humanity's fate     rests on your shoulders. [14:46] Riko     Commander, may I say something? [14:49] P     What is it? [14:50] Riko     Does this human weapon really work? [14:54] I     Quiet, Riko! [14:55] Riko     You don't believe it, either, do you? [14:58] Mitabi     Commander, this operation     depends on Eren Jaeger, [15:01] ---     and we know nothing about him. [15:04] Mitabi     If he cannot function, many soldiers     will have died for nothing. [15:10] P     Well, then... [15:12] P     Do you really enjoy losing to     the Titans that much? [15:17] P     I don't. [15:18] P     I hate losing more than anything. [15:22] P     But unfortunately, I've been     losing for my entire life. [15:30] P     I want to win against the Titans... [15:33] P     I want to beat those giant freaks [15:35] ---     more than anything in the world. [15:37] R     S-So do we! [15:41] P     Then betting on him is our only option. [15:44] P     You're right, we know nothing about him. [15:48] ---     But he's the only chance we     have to defeat the Titans. [15:53] Gus     Commander, it's time for the     decoy operation to begin. [15:59] P     Ian Dietrich, [16:01] P     Riko Brzenska, [16:03] P     Mitabi Jarnach... [16:04] P     You are the Garrison's     most elite troops. [16:10] P     I'm entrusting humanity's fate to you. [16:12] All     Yes, sir! [16:14] P     Ian, you take command. [16:17] P     You have full authority out there. [16:21] I     Me? [16:23] R     I have no objections. [16:24] M     Nor do I. [16:26] I     But I'm not capable... [16:28] P     Don't worry. [16:30] P     You're a man who knows his drinks. [16:34] P     You're well-acquainted with     drink both bitter and sweet. [16:38] P     I'm counting on you! [16:41] I     Yes, sir! [16:43] Ar     Eren, I'm sorry... [16:47] Ar     I ended up making you     responsible for everything. [16:51] E     It's like I said before. [16:53] ---     You have the ability to     find the right answer. [16:56] E     I believe in that. [16:58] Mi     Eren, I'm going to— [16:59] E     Don't tell me you're going     to come with me. [17:02] E     You've been assigned to the decoy team. [17:05] Mi     But I can't leave you alone... [17:08] Mi     If you're alone, you'll— [17:08] E     Enough! [17:10] E     I'm not your little     brother or a child... [17:13] E     I told you that! [17:17] I     Ackerman, [17:20] I     join the elite force protecting Jaeger. [17:24] I     We need your skill. [17:26] I     Let's go... It's time! [17:30] E     Bye, Armin. [17:32] E     Don't die. [17:33] Ar     Yeah, you neither. [17:49] I     A top-secret human weapon, was it? [17:52] I     As long as you can seal that hole,     it doesn't matter. [17:54] I     Our priority is to protect you. [17:56] I     We're counting on you. [17:57] E     Yes, sir! [17:59] Mi     Eren, are you feeling okay? [18:01] E     Yeah! [18:04] Mi     Eren... [18:05] E     I said I'm fine! [18:07] E     Much better than when     we were surrounded. [18:09] R     We aren't playing house here, Jaeger. [18:12] E     I didn't mean... [18:14] Mitabi     I can't believe we have to [18:16] ---     leave humanity's fate up     to a spoiled kid like you. [18:20] I     Enough, guys! [18:22] I     We'll soon reach the shortest     route to the boulder. [18:25] I     I'm not seeing any Titans... [18:28] I     Everyone must have succeeded     in luring them away. [18:34] Leader     Listen! [18:35] Leader     You only need to get them     to the edge of town! [18:37] Leader     Avoid unnecessary combat! [18:42] Riko     Listen, Jaeger. [18:45] Riko     During this operation,     more than just a few will die. [18:50] Riko     For you. [18:54] Riko     They will be our fellows,     ranked both above and below us. [18:59] Riko     As soldiers, they're     prepared to die, of course. [19:03] Riko     But they are not pawns without a voice. [19:10] Leader     Wait. [19:15] Leader     Not yet. [19:17] Leader     A little more... [19:21] Leader     Go! [19:24] Riko     They have names and families. [19:27] Riko     And all the feelings that those entail. [19:30] Riko     Alyosha, Dominic, Phine, Isabel, [19:35] Riko     Ludwig, Martina, Guido, Hans... [19:38] Riko     They're all humans as     alive as either of us. [19:42] Riko     I've known some of them     since my trainee days. [19:47] Riko     And today, many will die for you. [19:53] Riko     You have a responsibility to ensure that     their deaths will mean something. [19:59] Riko     No matter what happens. [20:02] Riko     Never let yourself forget that. [20:04] Riko     And be prepared to die     for that responsibility. [20:08] E     Right! [20:10] E     I'll do it... [20:12] E     I'll make this happen! [20:17] P     Since the Titans appeared,     humanity has never won against them. [20:24] P     Their continuous advance has meant [20:26] ---     humanity's continuous retreat     and loss of territory. [20:32] P     But when this mission succeeds, [20:36] ---     humanity will have retaken     its territory from them [20:40] ---     for the very first time. [20:42] I     Right here. [20:43] I     Let's go! [20:45] P     This will be humanity's first     victory against the Titans! [21:02] An     Green smoke round, confirmed. [21:04] An     The elite force has begun the mission. [21:09] P     Compared to all that humanity has lost,     it may seem insignificant. [21:17] P     But for humanity, that step will be a great     advance in our attack on the Titans! [21:56] Mi     I doubt a human of that size [21:59] ---     could lift that boulder. [22:02] Mi     But I believe Eren has the     strength to lead us forward... [22:14] Mi     Eren?
