**[01:30] ---**
"Wish"
**[01:39] ---**
At last, there's nobody here but us.
**[01:43] ---**
Father...
**[01:44] ---**
Sorry to make you wait.
**[01:47] ---**
Listen, Historia...
**[01:50] ---**
This may sound very strange to you,
but Frieda is not entirely dead.
**[01:55] ---**
Eh?
**[01:57] ---**
The memories of Frieda still live on.
**[02:00] ---**
Would you like to meet your sister?
**[02:04] ---**
Yes!
**[02:14] ---**
Understand, Eren!?
**[02:16] ---**
You'll be the one to avenge your mother!
**[02:32] ---**
They got in?
**[02:36] ---**
That's...
**[02:40] ---**
What are those?
**[02:46] ---**
Fire arrow?
**[02:52] ---**
Gunpowder?!
**[02:53] ---**
By the burning pattern, they must
have scattered bags full of oil...
**[02:59] ---**
This could get ugly!
**[03:03] ---**
Here they come!
**[03:04] ---**
Shoot 'em down!
**[03:08] ---**
Smoke signal shells?!
**[03:12] ---**
Tsk! We'll never hit a
thing in all this smoke.
**[03:17] ---**
Twenty-four.
**[03:19] ---**
Thirty-two.
**[03:21] ---**
Thirty-five enemies!
**[03:22] ---**
They're gathered behind the pillars!
**[03:25] ---**
Continue the plan!
**[03:26] ---**
We'll take 'em all out right here!
**[03:29] ---**
All troops, spread out!
Surround them one at a time!
**[03:41] ---**
More smoke?!
**[03:43] ---**
Shit! Where'd they go?!
**[03:48] ---**
A big weakness of the
Anti-Personnel ODM gear is...
**[03:51] ---**
...their line of fire and anchor trajectory
are both faced in the same direction.
**[03:57] ---**
In other words, the area directly behind
them is completely out of their reach.
**[04:13] ---**
Over there! Fire!
**[04:18] ---**
I missed?!
**[04:20] ---**
Where are they?!
**[04:26] ---**
You're mine!
**[04:35] ---**
Sasha!
**[04:36] ---**
Conny! Hide in the smoke and fight!
**[04:41] ---**
Take this!
**[04:46] ---**
Shit!
**[04:48] ---**
But their greatest weakness is...
once they've fired off two shots...
**[04:54] ---**
...it takes a while for them to reload.
**[05:01] ---**
This ain't looking good.
**[05:03] ---**
The hell's with that girl?!
**[05:13] ---**
When they manage to get this close,
swords have the advantage!
**[05:21] ---**
We've gotta stop 'em!
**[05:27] ---**
At this rate, we'll get wiped out!
**[05:38] ---**
Yo, Levi.
**[05:41] ---**
Not that I've got time
to waste on you, but...
**[05:44] ---**
If you get past here,
it'll all be for nothin'.
**[05:50] ---**
So be it. Guess I'll have to play.
**[05:55] ---**
Neener, neener, neener!
**[06:03] ---**
You're a spunky one, damn.
**[06:09] ---**
Tsk!
**[06:22] ---**
Not sick of playing yet? Good grief.
**[06:29] ---**
Didn't I teach you?!
**[06:30] ---**
When chasing an enemy,
don't just stare straight ahead!
**[06:39] ---**
Over here, dimwit!
**[07:03] ---**
You... bastard.
**[07:06] ---**
That really hurt!
**[07:11] ---**
If I can force one of them
to show a small opening...
**[07:21] ---**
Huh? Both of your shots were way off!
**[07:25] ---**
You like to live recklessly, too?!
**[07:34] ---**
Argh!
**[07:50] ---**
Hange!
**[07:53] ---**
Now! Fall back to the final defensive post!
**[07:57] ---**
Time to regroup!
**[08:04] ---**
Tsk!
**[08:08] ---**
Stay out of the way, you little runt.
**[08:11] ---**
Ouch...
**[08:18] ---**
Drop it!
**[08:23] ---**
Guard the ritual, Captain!
**[08:25] ---**
Yeah, that's where I'll be!
***SIGN*** "Information Available for Public Disclosure" "Syringe" "A device Rod Reiss wants Historia Reiss to use and transform into a Titan. It is believed to use spinal fluid, and by injecting the transformation serum, one is granted the inherent abilities of a Titan."
**[08:36] ---**
It seems the enemy is nearby.
**[08:39] ---**
Let's hurry, Historia.
**[08:41] ---**
Right.
**[08:48] ---**
What, Eren? Why are you glaring?
**[08:51] ---**
It's because... he has perceived his fate.
**[08:56] ---**
That the stolen power will
return to where it belongs.
**[09:01] ---**
Historia...
**[09:03] ---**
That means inside you.
**[09:07] ---**
Eh?
**[09:11] ---**
This cavern... It was built around 100
years ago by the power of a certain Titan.
**[09:19] ---**
Those three walls were
built by the same power.
**[09:23] ---**
By creating those enormous walls,
humanity was protected.
**[09:28] ---**
The power of that Titan reached out to touch
people's hearts and alter their memories.
**[09:36] ---**
However, several bloodlines
were excluded from that.
**[09:40] ---**
But their descendants and
the rest of humanity...
**[09:43] ---**
...retain no history of the
world past a century ago.
**[09:48] ---**
Except for one, Frieda Reiss.
**[09:54] ---**
Frieda possessed more
than her power as a Titan.
**[09:58] ---**
She knew how this world came about
and all the details behind it.
**[10:05] ---**
She was 15 years old when
that knowledge became hers.
**[10:11] ---**
Right here, 8 years ago in this very place...
**[10:15] ---**
...after she ate her uncle,
my younger brother.
**[10:37] ---**
Frieda inherited the Founding Titan
and the memories of this world.
**[10:43] ---**
As had been done for 100 years,
repeated and passed through generations.
**[10:53] ---**
Father...
**[10:56] ---**
Yes...
**[10:58] ---**
Basically, if Frieda had just used her power,
there wouldn't have been any problems.
**[11:05] ---**
We might have eliminated Titans
from this world entirely.
**[11:09] ---**
If only his father hadn't stolen
the power from her.
**[11:15] ---**
Now, that power resides within Eren.
**[11:19] ---**
However, that power...
**[11:21] ---**
It can't truly manifest unless the blood
of the Reiss family runs through them.
**[11:27] ---**
As long as he remains a
vessel for that power...
**[11:31] ---**
...this hell will forever continue.
**[11:34] ---**
Eh?
**[11:36] ---**
Then...
**[11:38] ---**
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
**[11:42] ---**
Kenny.
**[11:43] ---**
So unless it's a Reiss who eats Eren,
they can't become a true king?
**[11:49] ---**
That is correct.
**[11:50] ---**
Th-Then... even if I turn into a Titan
and eat Eren, it'll mean nothin'?
**[11:57] ---**
What are you--?
**[12:01] ---**
Father!
**[12:02] ---**
Do you think I'm lying to you or something?
**[12:04] ---**
Nope.
**[12:06] ---**
I waited long for this day 'cuz I knew you
weren't lying about the succession ritual.
**[12:13] ---**
For crying out loud!
**[12:14] ---**
You used me this whole time knowing full well
what I was after, you sleazy playboy!
**[12:22] ---**
I'm grateful for you.
**[12:24] ---**
You may have been a stray dog that my
whimsical younger brother took in, but--
**[12:29] ---**
Keep on insulting Uri, and you can
say goodbye to half of your head.
**[12:34] ---**
Stop it!
**[12:36] ---**
Let my father go!
**[12:39] ---**
Huh? You're plain pitiful, Historia.
**[12:44] ---**
Don't you get it?!
**[12:46] ---**
This father of yours wants to turn you
into a monster and make you eat Eren.
**[12:59] ---**
Because that's my duty.
**[13:03] ---**
Yes...
**[13:04] ---**
I'm going to eat Eren and
bring my sister back.
**[13:09] ---**
I'll inherit the world's history and
exterminate every last Titan!
**[13:15] ---**
That's my duty!
**[13:20] ---**
Hey, hey, Historia!
**[13:22] ---**
Have you forgotten everything
this guy has done to you?
**[13:26] ---**
The only thing he cares about
is the blood inside you.
**[13:30] ---**
He doesn't wanna become a Titan himself!
**[13:32] ---**
He's just trash that forces
his brother and daughter to!
**[13:36] ---**
That's this father of yours!
**[13:41] ---**
He's wrong, Historia...
**[13:44] ---**
I must not become a Titan myself.
**[13:48] ---**
Do not believe... what anyone else says...
**[13:55] ---**
Oh, is that right?
**[13:58] ---**
Father!
**[14:03] ---**
Kenny.
**[14:05] ---**
You've served well up until now.
**[14:08] ---**
You're free now.
**[14:10] ---**
Go find another purpose in life...
and live out your years.
**[14:20] ---**
That would bore me to death.
**[14:28] ---**
Kenny! What are you doing?
**[14:32] ---**
Go ahead and turn into a Titan.
**[14:34] ---**
I won't interfere anymore.
**[14:40] ---**
However, no head starts.
**[14:45] ---**
You both become Titans and have at it.
**[14:48] ---**
If Historia wins, you'll have your peace.
**[14:51] ---**
But if you lose to Eren,
the situation stays the same.
**[14:59] ---**
Keep drawing breath till I run out and die?
**[15:03] ---**
Can you even call that livin'?!
**[15:07] ---**
Historia!
**[15:09] ---**
With this injection, you can
become a powerful Titan!
**[15:12] ---**
Then you can eat him,
but in fact, it's more than that!
**[15:15] ---**
You must bite his spine
and consume the spinal fluid!
**[15:21] ---**
Whoops, better step back.
**[15:25] ---**
Hurry up, Historia!
**[15:33] ---**
Eren, why?!
**[15:36] ---**
Why aren't you transforming?!
**[15:39] ---**
If I become a Titan, you'll get eaten!
**[15:42] ---**
At this rate...
**[15:49] ---**
Do it, Historia!
**[15:52] ---**
It shouldn't have happened...
**[15:55] ---**
Eh?
**[15:57] ---**
Me...
**[15:59] ---**
My dad, too...
**[16:02] ---**
If five years ago, he
hadn't done that here...
**[16:07] ---**
Your sister... would have been
able to do something, right?
**[16:14] ---**
But my dad stole the Power of
the Titans from its rightful place.
**[16:18] ---**
Just how many died for that?
**[16:22] ---**
Armin's grandpa...
**[16:23] ---**
Thomas, Nack, Mina, Milieus...
**[16:28] ---**
Marco... Those guys on Squad Levi...
The people of Stohess...
**[16:33] ---**
Those soldiers who came to save me...
**[16:36] ---**
Mr. Hannes...
**[16:39] ---**
I can never atone for it all.
**[16:43] ---**
It shouldn't have happened...
**[16:46] ---**
Those days of training...
**[16:49] ---**
That dream beyond the walls...
**[16:55] ---**
I... shouldn't have happened.
**[17:09] ---**
So, at the least...
**[17:12] ---**
...let it end at your hand.
**[17:16] ---**
Eat me.
**[17:18] ---**
Save humanity.
**[17:25] ---**
It's all... up to you.
**[17:36] ---**
Eren...
**[17:38] ---**
That time...
**[17:40] ---**
...when you called me a normal
person, I was so happy.
**[17:51] ---**
So you're trying to do something "nice," huh?
**[18:01] ---**
What's wrong, Historia? Are you scared?
**[18:05] ---**
All you have to do is inject
that liquid into your body.
**[18:10] ---**
Father...
**[18:12] ---**
Why?
**[18:14] ---**
Why didn't the Reiss family...
in that whole 100 years...
**[18:18] ---**
...eliminate the Titans
and liberate humanity?
**[18:23] ---**
All while possessing the power
to control all the Titans...
**[18:31] ---**
Because, the first Reiss King who
built this world within the walls...
**[18:37] ---**
...wished for us to be
controlled by the Titans.
**[18:41] ---**
The first King believed that was
the only path to true peace.
**[18:47] ---**
But I do not know why.
**[18:49] ---**
It's only known by those who
see the world's memories.
**[18:54] ---**
Long ago, I...
**[18:56] ---**
...along with my brother, pleaded with our
father to free humanity from the Titans...
**[19:01] ---**
...time and time again.
**[19:04] ---**
However, he would not fulfill our wish.
**[19:09] ---**
Eventually, it came time for
my father to pass on that role.
**[19:13] ---**
When my brother inherited the Power of
the Titans and I looked into his eyes...
**[19:17] ---**
...I understood what that meant.
**[19:21] ---**
To create this world...
To govern its very foundation...
**[19:26] ---**
To be an omnipotent being
is to be what my brother became.
**[19:32] ---**
Do you know what we call that?
**[19:36] ---**
God.
**[19:38] ---**
What we call that... is God.
**[19:42] ---**
And my duty is to bring God back to
our world and offer them my prayers.
**[19:48] ---**
I'm praying, Historia.
**[19:51] ---**
For God to lead and guide humanity!
**[19:57] ---**
Christa.
**[19:59] ---**
I have no right to tell you
how to live your life.
**[20:05] ---**
So actually, this is nothing more
than a hope of mine...
**[20:13] ---**
I want you... to live a life you're proud of.
**[20:31] ---**
Historia!
**[20:37] ---**
God, my ass! You're just giving yourself
an out and manipulating other people!
**[20:43] ---**
I've had it! I won't let you kill me!
**[20:53] ---**
That's the spirit! This is gettin' good!
**[20:59] ---**
What are you doing, Historia?!
**[21:01] ---**
Eren, we're leaving.
**[21:02] ---**
Hey, stop it!
**[21:04] ---**
If I go on living, everyone
will keep suffering!
**[21:08] ---**
Hurry up and eat me!
**[21:10] ---**
I can't take living like this!
**[21:12] ---**
Shut up, idiot! Just shut up, crybaby!
**[21:18] ---**
Exterminate the Titans?!
Who the hell wants to do that bullshit?!
**[21:22] ---**
I'm starting to hate humanity!
**[21:24] ---**
Let 'em get wiped out by Titans!
**[21:27] ---**
I'm humanity's biggest enemy!
**[21:29] ---**
Got it?! I'm the worst girl who ever lived!
**[21:35] ---**
You escape from here.
**[21:37] ---**
I'll destroy everything else!
**[21:42] ---**
Father...
**[21:44] ---**
Uri...
**[21:46] ---**
Frieda...
**[21:48] ---**
Wait for me...
**[21:50] ---**
I'll... now...
**[23:40] ---**
Rod Reiss becomes a Titan.
**[23:43] ---**
To protect Mikasa and the
others from a cave-in,
**[23:47] ---**
Eren is cornered by another decision.
