    "Bystander"
[01:36] ---
    Hey!
[01:38] ---
    You wait right there!
[01:41] ---
    Isn't this...?
[01:43] ---
    --Yeah... Not quite the
    Queen I was expecting.
[01:43] ---
    --Don't you run from me!
    Listen when I'm talking to you!
[01:47] ---
    And it's only been two months
    since she was crowned.
[01:51] ---
    Seems like she's better
    suited to run an orphanage.
[01:55] ---
    Do you know what the people are calling her?
[01:58] ---
    --Snacks come after our work is all done!
[01:59] ---
    --The Cattle-Farming Goddess.
    --Snacks come after our work is all done!
[02:01] ---
    --In a good way, of course.
    --You're such a piggy!
[02:04] ---
    So we've finally got a goddess among us.
[02:07] ---
    At this rate, no one will remember
    the chump who plugged up Trost, yeah?
[02:13] ---
    One of the reasons Historia decided
    to become queen was...
[02:17] ---
    ...to do all this.
[02:19] ---
    This, meaning?
[02:21] ---
    Taking care of the orphans and needy from
    the underground to the edge of the walls.
[02:26] ---
    Since he was raised underground,
    the captain supported her, too.
[02:31] ---
    When people need help,
[02:33] ---
    she said she'll come to their rescue,
    no matter who or where.
[02:37] ---
    That's... what Historia wants to do.
[02:41] ---
    Oh? You're slacking again!
[02:43] ---
    Uh...
[02:44] ---
    It's getting dark, you know!
[02:47] ---
    She's becoming more
    and more like my mother...
[02:51] ---
    Some goddess...
[02:54] ---
    I hear your hardening
    experiments are going well.
[02:57] ---
    Yeah...
[02:58] ---
    But if we don't hurry... they'll be back.
[03:04] ---
    What would you do?
[03:06] ---
    If you met Reiner and Bertholdt...
    and had to face them again?
[03:12] ---
    I've got no other choice... but to kill them.
[03:22] ---
    I hope we find out soon.
[03:25] ---
    About this world... and why it is like it is.
[03:29] ---
    All that we've done...
    I don't want to regret any of it.
[03:39] ---
    Even the kids from the underground
    have been smiling lately.
[03:44] ---
    This can't have been the wrong choice.
[03:48] ---
    Yeah.
[03:49] ---
    You've done great.
[03:51] ---
    That's not...
[03:52] ---
    Though you're the one who said
    humanity should get wiped out.
[03:56] ---
    Th-That was only 'cuz I got carried away!
[04:05] ---
    What?
[04:06] ---
    Gimme that.
[04:07] ---
    Hey!
[04:09] ---
    Eren's tired from the experiments.
[04:10] ---
    That's true. Sorry, Mikasa.
[04:13] ---
    Would you stop treating me
    like some feeble old man?
[04:19] ---
    Due to the military purge, considerable
    talent was lost from humanity's forces, but...
[04:25] ---
    ...the discovery of glowing
    ore in the underground cavern
[04:29] ---
    was one of many things gained.
[04:33] ---
    Also, with Eren's hardening ability,
    a certain anti-Titan weapon was born.
[04:46] ---
    That's it...
[04:47] ---
    Jam your head in here.
[04:51] ---
    Now!
[04:56] ---
    Ooh!
[04:58] ---
    A direct hit on the nape!
[05:00] ---
    This could be it...!
[05:06] ---
    We did it! That's a 12-meter, crushed!
[05:09] ---
    We did it!
[05:11] ---
    Hell yeah! With this, we can kill Titans
    without a single soldier fighting!
[05:16] ---
    We'll hack down the Titans all day and night!
[05:19] ---
    Say hello to the executioner from hell!
[05:22] ---
    We did it, Eren!
[05:25] ---
    Eren?
[05:27] ---
    He probably overused his Titan powers.
[05:31] ---
    All he's done is hardening
    experiments lately.
[05:35] ---
    Sorry, Eren...
[05:38] ---
    There's nothing to apologize for, Hange.
[05:41] ---
    Who gives a damn if I'm tired?
[05:44] ---
    Let's hurry... make weapons, and get going...
[05:48] ---
    ...to Shiganshina.
[05:53] ---
    We can win! We can beat 'em!
[05:54] ---
    With the new weapons,
    the Titans will crumble like paper!
[05:58] ---
    You're so damn worked up.
[06:00] ---
    Only you would be happy
    about becoming a Scout.
[06:04] ---
    That's right! Didn't Hitch try
    to stop you from joining?
[06:08] ---
    Hitch? Why would she?
[06:11] ---
    Why? 'Cuz you two are... you know?
[06:15] ---
    I don't follow, but...
[06:16] ---
    Hitch told me off, saying I wasn't
    cut out for it and not to act cool.
[06:21] ---
    That if I stayed in the Military Police,
    I could coast along in life.
[06:25] ---
    I thought she was better than that...
[06:28] ---
    Told her I was wrong about her.
[06:30] ---
    You shit.
[06:31] ---
    --Huh?
    --Marlo, are you stupid?
[06:33] ---
    He's a bowl cut imbecile.
[06:35] ---
    Why? Marlo said nothing wrong.
[06:37] ---
    Anyways, the only ones as worked up as you
    are the recruits with zero battle experience.
[06:43] ---
    Whoa, whoa... Think you're
    some veteran hero now?
[06:48] ---
    Compared to you, I am.
[06:51] ---
    How rude. Weren't we in the 104th together?
[06:54] ---
    Besides, we're not the only ones.
[06:57] ---
    Everyone in the walls is pumped up
    about the idea of retaking Wall Maria.
[07:02] ---
    Is that so?
[07:05] ---
    Still, you all do seem different now.
[07:09] ---
    It's your faces, I guess...
[07:12] ---
    What... exactly happened?
[07:15] ---
    Wanna know?
[07:19] ---
    No... I think... I'll ask later.
[07:27] ---
    I'm outta here. See you later.
[07:29] ---
    Eh? So soon?
[07:31] ---
    Tomorrow's a prep day, so I'm heading
    to my village in the morning.
[07:37] ---
    Might find out something new there.
[07:40] ---
    Good night.
[07:43] ---
    Turning Conny's mom back to
    normal... isn't impossible, right?
[07:49] ---
    Yeah...
[07:50] ---
    If our understanding of Titans
    keeps improving, someday...
[07:57] ---
    You're telling me Titans are people?
[08:00] ---
    It's just speculation for now.
[08:02] ---
    About 60 years.
[08:05] ---
    It was like... I was stuck in a
    nightmare that never would end.
[08:10] ---
    A nightmare, huh?
[08:12] ---
    Eh?
[08:13] ---
    With all that's happened,
    it's been so vague...
[08:17] ---
    But who exactly are we fighting against?
[08:21] ---
    That is, are Titans just...
[08:25] ---
    ...people being tormented by some nightmare?
[08:30] ---
    For a time, I was... one of those Titans.
[08:34] ---
    Eren!
[08:38] ---
    You still have bread and soup left.
[08:41] ---
    Save talking for after you've eaten.
[08:46] ---
    Right.
[08:48] ---
    Sorry, Mikasa.
[08:50] ---
    For crying out loud, Eren.
[08:53] ---
    I swear that's all you do lately...
    mumbling shit to yourself.
[08:58] ---
    When you should be trying
    to remember that one guy.
[09:02] ---
    You saw, right? In the cavern
    when those memories came back...
[09:06] ---
    That guy in the Scouts
    who you think met your dad.
[09:11] ---
    Yeah... That day, I'm pretty sure
    he was with my dad.
[09:18] ---
    He's gotta know something.
[09:20] ---
    The thing is, though, I feel like
    I've met the guy somewhere.
[09:25] ---
    You mean not Dr. Jaeger, but you, yourself?
[09:28] ---
    I think so...
[09:30] ---
    Smack your head and see if you remember.
[09:32] ---
    That's right, twerp.
[09:34] ---
    You might remember if you stopped
    holding hands with Historia for once.
[09:38] ---
    Get a head-butt from the commandant.
[09:40] ---
    If that helped me remember, I'd--
[09:46] ---
    Huh?
[10:01] ---
    The Cadet Corps commandant...
[10:04] ---
    Keith Sadies!
[10:10] ---
    Before Erwin, he was the 12th
    commander of the Scout Regiment.
[10:15] ---
    It's been a long while since I've seen him.
[10:20] ---
    Commandant Sadies.
SIGN    "Information Available for Public Disclosure" "Executioner from Hell" "A semi-automatic Titan extermination weapon constructed in part by Eren Jaeger's hardening ability and the wall. It can safely fell and eliminate Titans compared to previous methods."
[10:38] ---
    What's wrong, Braus? Not sitting?
[10:41] ---
    No! I am quite fine standing here!
[10:44] ---
    If I recall...
[10:46] ---
    Back in the day, I always used to
    call you in here to chew you out.
[10:52] ---
    And it's only been a handful of months.
[10:55] ---
    I hardly recognize you all anymore.
[10:58] ---
    Commander Sadies...
[11:00] ---
    Rather, Commandant...
[11:02] ---
    With preparations to retake
    Wall Maria underway,
[11:05] ---
    perhaps you can guess
    what brings us here today.
[11:18] ---
    Eren. You resemble your mother so much.
[11:23] ---
    However, the fangs lurking deep
    in your eyes are surely your father's.
[11:29] ---
    Tell me about him! Everything you know!
[11:33] ---
    I know nothing... in the
    grand scheme of things.
[11:37] ---
    However, I can tell you a story
    utterly useless to humanity.
[11:43] ---
    The story of my past... as a mere bystander.
[11:49] ---
    Twenty years ago. Wall Maria.
[11:52] ---
    In front of the gates of
    Shiganshina, he was there.
[11:57] ---
    Hey, you!
[11:59] ---
    What are you doing here?!
[12:01] ---
    How did you get past the wall?!
[12:04] ---
    Wh-What are all you doing outside the wall?!
[12:08] ---
    Don't tell me... you're fighting?!
[12:11] ---
    Huh?
[12:13] ---
    Was it the truth or a lie?
[12:16] ---
    He couldn't remember why
    he was outside the walls.
[12:22] ---
    All of his memories had been lost.
[12:25] ---
    Except that he knew his
    name was Grisha Jaeger.
[12:30] ---
    Who knew it's a crime to go into
    Titan territory without permission?
[12:34] ---
    I thought only you Scouts were
    dumb enough to go outside the walls.
[12:40] ---
    Isn't there a law that jails idiots
    who drink on duty, Hannes?
[12:47] ---
    Anyways, it's not like he hurt anyone, so...
[12:50] ---
    Let's not report it, all right?
[12:53] ---
    Yeah.
[12:56] ---
    Well?
[12:57] ---
    What do you plan on doing now, Grisha Jaeger?
[13:02] ---
    I remember something other than my name.
[13:06] ---
    I'm a doctor.
[13:08] ---
    Introduce me to a hospital.
    I should be able to help.
[13:12] ---
    Oh?
[13:14] ---
    Also... Do you think you could teach me?
[13:17] ---
    About this world... About the Scouts.
[13:23] ---
    About all of you.
[13:29] ---
    He truly knew nothing at all.
[13:32] ---
    Not about this world... or anything.
[13:37] ---
    I see.
[13:39] ---
    Although there's economic inequality,
    there's peace within the walls.
[13:43] ---
    At the least, you don't live
    in constant fear of Titans.
[13:48] ---
    That's good.
[13:51] ---
    That's good, huh?
[13:53] ---
    You're one of them?
[13:55] ---
    Eh?
[13:57] ---
    Within these cramped walls,
[13:59] ---
    as long as there's food and alcohol,
    some think that's good enough.
[14:04] ---
    Not once have they stopped to
    think how wide the world might be.
[14:10] ---
    Is that why you venture outside the walls?
[14:13] ---
    Is that what Scouts do?
[14:16] ---
    That's right.
[14:18] ---
    Does it seem foolish?
[14:20] ---
    Not at all.
[14:22] ---
    The Scouts are wiser and braver
    than anyone else in the walls.
[14:26] ---
    Your existence signifies
    the freedom in our souls.
[14:29] ---
    You're the pride of humanity.
[14:32] ---
    Pride? We are?
[14:35] ---
    Yes.
[14:36] ---
    Come on, Keith.
[14:39] ---
    Recruiting for the Scouts again, are we?
[14:42] ---
    N-Not this time, Carla. I'm just...
[14:44] ---
    Oh, no. I'd never be suited
    for that kind of work.
[14:48] ---
    Being a Scout takes someone special...
[14:51] ---
    You have to be a chosen one.
[14:54] ---
    Oh, is that right?
[15:00] ---
    A chosen one...
[15:02] ---
    It was the first time anyone told me that.
[15:06] ---
    It's true, inside the wall was
    much too cramped for me.
[15:14] ---
    Another day, another defeat...
[15:17] ---
    Will you ever build a base outside the wall?
[15:20] ---
    If only I was commander, I'd show results.
[15:25] ---
    These idiots with their tiny brains...
[15:27] ---
    I'd accomplish so much,
    even they'd understand.
[15:30] ---
    And then everyone...
    would have to acknowledge me.
[15:38] ---
    Grisha!
[15:39] ---
    Carla caught the plague going around!
[15:42] ---
    Can you help her?!
[15:44] ---
    Put her in the rear bed.
[15:48] ---
    Dr. Jaeger...
[15:50] ---
    My parents... have it, too.
[15:55] ---
    Don't worry, I'll help everyone.
[16:03] ---
    Dr. Jaeger!
[16:05] ---
    My wife is well again!
[16:08] ---
    Dr. Jaeger, thank you!
[16:18] ---
    Congrats!
[16:19] ---
    You're appointed as the
    Scout Regiment commander.
[16:22] ---
    Congratulations!
[16:25] ---
    Congratulations, Dr. Jaeger!
[16:35] ---
    Shit, our base!
[16:39] ---
    It's no use! Let's retreat, Commander!
[16:47] ---
    The moron charges straight into death.
[16:50] ---
    He's always the only one who lives.
[16:52] ---
    I hear nobody on Erwin's squad has died yet.
[16:55] ---
    Wish they'd change commanders then.
[17:00] ---
    Someone special...
[17:03] ---
    A chosen one...
[17:06] ---
    Keith?
[17:18] ---
    Carla? Who's this child?
[17:20] ---
    Eren. He's our boy.
[17:23] ---
    I guess you never got the news.
[17:26] ---
    My husband worried about you.
[17:29] ---
    Yeah... I'm sorry.
[17:33] ---
    Do you intend...
[17:36] ---
    ...on keeping this up until you die?
[17:43] ---
    It's about time you...
[17:46] ---
    Do you know why people live and
    die without doing a damn thing?
[17:51] ---
    It's because they lack imagination!
[17:54] ---
    Their whole lives, for nothing!
[17:56] ---
    They're not ashamed of a life
    that produces nothing but shit!
[17:59] ---
    They can't accomplish greatness... No!
[18:02] ---
    They can't even understand it!
[18:04] ---
    Not even the half of it!
[18:07] ---
    So a girl who flirts with
    every man in sight...
[18:09] ---
    ...good for absolutely nothing
    besides pouring drinks...
[18:14] ---
    ...will never...
[18:17] ---
    Yes...
[18:20] ---
    Normal people accomplish nothing...
[18:26] ---
    Erwin... Will you take over as commander?
[18:32] ---
    Special people do exist.
[18:36] ---
    This just means I was never one of them.
[18:41] ---
    Why did I not realize that simple fact?
[18:48] ---
    Wall Maria was destroyed!
[18:51] ---
    Shiganshina District was decimated!
[18:53] ---
    Us in Trost District are next!
[19:03] ---
    Keith!
[19:07] ---
    Oh... I know now...
[19:11] ---
    It was your fault...
[19:17] ---
    Eren.
[19:19] ---
    Wake up, Eren. Was your mother not with you?
[19:26] ---
    Dad...
[19:28] ---
    Mom...
[19:30] ---
    A Titan...
[19:33] ---
    ...ate her.
[19:45] ---
    Eren.
[19:47] ---
    Avenge your mother.
[19:49] ---
    You must.
[19:52] ---
    I know you can.
[19:55] ---
    Let's go.
[19:57] ---
    Wait. Where are you going?
[20:00] ---
    Don't follow us.
[20:02] ---
    Wait.
[20:04] ---
    Why don't you just do it? Avenge Carla...
[20:08] ---
    Why? Is it because you're special?
[20:11] ---
    Unlike me...
[20:14] ---
    What if your kid is different, too?
[20:16] ---
    He might not be a chosen one either.
[20:20] ---
    Right?
[20:22] ---
    Are you going to curse... someone else now?
[20:27] ---
    This child is not like you.
[20:30] ---
    He's my son.
[20:31] ---
    I beg you.
[20:33] ---
    Stay out of it.
[20:43] ---
    Thunder?
[20:54] ---
    And then I carried your unconscious
    body back to the shelter.
[21:04] ---
    That is everything I know.
[21:15] ---
    So that's... it?
[21:21] ---
    Now we know the real reason you resigned.
[21:25] ---
    Not to atone for the soldiers you killed,
[21:28] ---
    but because you realized
    you were never special.
[21:30] ---
    That's the childish reason you're here.
[21:33] ---
    Quit it, Hange.
[21:34] ---
    Screw your inferiority complex.
    Don't run from reality.
[21:39] ---
    Isn't that what vowing to give
    our hearts was all about?!
[21:43] ---
    Please stop, Hange.
[21:46] ---
    The commandant was right.
    I was never special or anything.
[21:51] ---
    But...
[21:53] ---
    I'm the son of a special man.
[21:57] ---
    That's all it is.
[22:01] ---
    Your mother...
[22:03] ---
    Carla said this...
[22:07] ---
    Is it wrong not to be special?
[22:13] ---
    I don't think that way.
[22:17] ---
    When it comes to my child...
[22:20] ---
    ...it's fine if he's never great.
[22:23] ---
    He doesn't have to be better than anyone.
[22:28] ---
    After all, just look at him...
[22:32] ---
    He's so cute!
[22:37] ---
    He's already special.
[22:40] ---
    Because he was...
[22:42] ---
    ...born into this world.
[22:49] ---
    And you, just like your father wanted...
[22:53] ---
    ...chose to set ablaze your life...
[22:56] ---
    ...which will burn to
    ashes outside the walls.
[23:08] ---
    In the end, I couldn't...
[23:13] ---
    I couldn't change a single thing at all.
[23:18] ---
    I'm a mere bystander.
[23:40] ---
    The night before leaving for Shiganshina...
[23:43] ---
    Now knowing of a world outside the walls,
    with hope and fear in their hearts,
[23:48] ---
    they pray for the future of humanity.

    Battle to Retake the Wall."
