00:00I'll see you next time.
00:30I'll see you next time.
01:00I'll see you next time.
01:30I'll see you next time.
01:59Armin Arlert from Shinganshina, sir.
02:02Wow, seriously?
02:03Why would your parents curse you with such a dumb name?
02:06It was my grandfather, sir.
02:07Cadet Arlert, why is a runt like you here?
02:10To help humanity overcome the Titans.
02:12That is delightful to hear.
02:14You're going to be a great light snack for him.
02:16Row three about face, runt.
02:18What do you call yourself?
02:21Sir, my name is Thomas Wagner.
02:23I'm from the Trost district.
02:24I can't hear you!
02:25I'm from Trost, sir!
02:26Look at him go.
02:29The man is a master when it comes to fresh-faced recruits.
02:32That takes me back.
02:33Is a pathetic worm like you the best Kareness has to offer?
02:37Sir!
02:37I'm afraid that's the case, sir!
02:39Tell your...
02:39But what's the point of all the intimidation?
02:41It's a rite of passage.
02:43Through stress and denigration, we revert them into blank slates.
02:45From there, we can mold them bit by bit into proper soldiers.
02:49He is the first step in that process.
02:51We seem to really excel at that back home, sir!
02:54Row four, about face!
02:57There are some he's passing by.
03:00A drill instructor is nothing compared to what those recruits have seen.
03:04They were there.
03:05Witnesses to the hell of the Titan attack two years ago.
03:08You can read it in their faces.
03:11Come on.
03:11Let's go.
03:13What do we have over here?
03:14Sean Kirstein, sir!
03:16From the Trost district!
03:17And why are you here, cadets?
03:19To join the military police, sir.
03:21The best of the best.
03:24That's nice.
03:25You want to live in the interior, do you?
03:28Yes.
03:30No one told you to sit, recruit!
03:32If you can't handle this, Kirstein, then forget about joining the military police!
03:38What the hell is wrong with your face, you smiling idiot?
03:40Marco Butt, at your service, sir.
03:41From Gine, south side of Walrose.
03:43I am to join the military police and give life and limit service to the king.
03:48Well, then.
03:49That makes you an idealistic fool.
03:52And a rube.
03:53You want the truth?
03:56The only use the king has for your life and limbs are as Titan fodder.
04:02Hey, Q-Ball!
04:03You're up next.
04:05Oh, me?
04:05Sir!
04:06Connie Springa from Ragako Village, sir!
04:09You have it backwards, Connie Springa.
04:12That was the first thing you were taught.
04:14This salute represents the resolve in your heart to fight those bent on the systematic destruction of our people.
04:19Is your heart on your right side?
04:21Hey, you there.
04:33What do you think you're doing?
04:39You are officially on my shit list!
04:42Just who in the hell are you?
04:43Sasha Browse from Dapper Village at your service!
04:48Reporting for duty, sir!
04:50Sasha Browse, huh?
04:53And what is that you're clutching in your right hand?
04:56A steamed potato!
04:57It sat there in the mess hall begging to be eaten, sir!
05:00The theft, I understand.
05:04But here, why eat it here of all places?
05:07It looked quite delicious, and it was getting cold.
05:11So I gave it shelter in my stomach, sir!
05:14Why?
05:15I can't comprehend.
05:17Why would you eat that potato?
05:21Are you asking me why people eat potatoes?
05:24I'm surprised you don't know, sir.
05:25Here, sir.
05:41Have half.
05:43Have half.
05:44Really?
05:50Man, I thought Shadas was gonna kill Potato Girl.
05:53I know.
05:55What a hell of a first day.
05:57It's funny.
05:59Being told to run till the sun sets
06:01didn't seem to bother her nearly as much
06:02as losing meal privileges for the next five days.
06:05I think she said that she's from Dapper.
06:07If I remember right,
06:08that's a small hunting village up in the mountains.
06:11Hey, what's that?
06:13They're dropouts.
06:14They prefer to work in the fields.
06:17But it's only the first day.
06:20That's the way it is.
06:21If you can't handle the pressure,
06:23you've got to leave.
06:25I can't believe anyone would rather pull plants and fight.
06:30I know about some of us,
06:31but you never mentioned where you were from, Aaron.
06:34The same as Armin, from Shinganshina.
06:37Oh, wow.
06:39That means you saw it.
06:41You were there that day.
06:42Huh?
06:42Quiet!
06:43The colossal one.
06:44Did you see him?
06:46Yeah.
06:46Yeah, I did.
06:47Yeah, okay.
06:51I saw the big guy.
06:54Whoa, seriously?
06:55Okay, exactly how tall was he?
06:57He stuck his head over the outer wall.
06:59Whoa, wait.
07:00I heard he stepped over the wall completely.
07:02So did I.
07:03That was a rumor in my village, too.
07:05Nah, he was big, but not that big.
07:08So what did it look like?
07:10It had a mouth like a corpse.
07:12And no skin, just muscles.
07:14And the armored titan?
07:15The one that broke through Walmaria?
07:17Is that what they're calling it?
07:19In all the panic, it was just another titan to me.
07:22No way.
07:23So what were they like?
07:24Come on.
07:34That's enough questions, all right?
07:36I'm sure he'd rather not relive everything he went through.
07:38Sorry.
07:39We didn't mean to.
07:40It's not like that.
07:45Those stupid titans.
07:47They're really not that big a deal.
07:49If we focus on mastering the omnidirectional mobility gear they give us,
07:52then it's titan payback time.
07:55I've waited years to be trained as a soldier.
07:58All of a sudden, the reality is sinking in.
08:01I'm joining the scout regiment.
08:03Then I'm sending the titans back to hell.
08:05I'm gonna butcher them all.
08:07Hey, are you crazy or something?
08:09Not that it's my business,
08:10but signing up for reconnaissance is like a death sentence.
08:13I guess we'll see.
08:15Or at least I will.
08:17You seem content hiding in the interior with the MPs.
08:20Look, I'm just speaking honestly here, kid.
08:22I think it's better than being some loudmouthed, braggart, tough guy wannabe
08:26pretending he's not as pissed scared as the rest of us.
08:30Are you trying to pick a fight?
08:32Stop it, you guys.
08:33All right, sure.
08:34Makes no difference to me.
08:36Hey, I apologize.
08:48Sorry for calling your names and dismissing your choice of career.
08:51Put her there, kid.
08:52What do you say?
08:55Right.
08:56Yeah, I'm sorry as well.
08:57Um, excuse me.
09:13I, uh, I just wanted, I mean, I've never seen anyone like you before.
09:21I mean, uh, I, I'm sorry.
09:24You have really beautiful black hair.
09:38Would you lay off?
09:39It's no big deal.
09:40It's just that you get so worked up you don't think things through.
09:43Again with this?
09:44If you insist on worrying, worry about how long your hair is,
09:48it's gonna catch up with you in a bad way when we start on the ODMs.
09:51Okay, fine.
09:54I'll cut it.
09:56How short should I go, do you think?
10:02What the hell?
10:04Leave my clothes alone, damn it!
10:06Why did you wipe on me?
10:09Don't worry.
10:11Just my trust.
10:15I am finished.
10:21I'm sorry, there isn't more.
10:43It's all I could take.
10:45Hey, hang on.
10:46You really should drink a little water for...
10:49You're a goddess, aren't you?
10:56Glory unto you!
10:57Hey, just what are you two girls up to?
11:01Well, uh, she's been running all day without any food or water.
11:06I see.
11:07So you're trying to be nice, huh?
11:15What's the point of breaking the rules for Potato Girl?
11:18That mindless act of kindness gets you absolutely nowhere.
11:26Whatever.
11:28Let's just get her to bed already.
11:32I'm confused.
11:33Are you being nice?
11:35I'm helping her so that she'll owe me one in the future.
11:38I intend to make use of her stupidity.
11:45It's aptitude test time, so listen up!
11:48There is no place for you here if you cannot perform!
11:51Fail and be shipped to the fields!
11:53We're just drilling the fundamentals here.
11:57You can still determine a cadet's knack for it just by watching.
12:02Like her.
12:04Completely steady.
12:05She inherently knows what to do and how to make it happen.
12:09That's what aptitude is all about.
12:11I'd say we have several capable cadets this year.
12:16And what about this guy?
12:19That's precisely why we run these tests.
12:22He proves that drive and dedication do not always translate into capability.
12:27What is your major malfunction, Jager?
12:29Straighten yourself up!
12:31Why am I...
12:33How do I work this thing?
12:36This can't be happening!
12:51Just remember the basics and you should be fine.
12:54No need to try any fancy maneuvers.
12:56Just focus on your balance.
12:58Then distribute your weight evenly between the belts on your waist and your legs.
13:02Loosen up your stance a little bit.
13:04If I could do it, I know that you can.
13:07Okay.
13:07A loose stance, but balanced.
13:09Let's give it a shot, Armin.
13:26Hey, Daz.
13:27He was talking big about butchering all the titans, but he got real quiet after ODM training, didn't he?
13:33I guess it's the fields for him tomorrow.
13:36Can't keep wasting food on the useless.
13:41Worrying won't solve a thing.
13:43There's still time to get some practice in come morning.
13:46How pathetic.
13:48How am I supposed to kill him if I can't even stand up straight?
13:51It might be time to let that dream die.
13:54What do you mean?
13:56I think you should give up this attempt to be a soldier.
13:59There's a lot more to fighting and combat than just throwing your life away in vain.
14:03What are you saying?
14:04After everything we saw that day?
14:06After what happened to my mom?
14:07You're crazy if you think I'm just gonna walk away.
14:10I get it, but it doesn't matter how determined you are.
14:14Wait, what do you mean?
14:16Because whether or not you're fit to be a soldier isn't up to you.
14:20You misunderstand.
14:29Let's go, Worry.
14:29I'm not saying you should return to the fields for yourself.
14:32I wouldn't dream of it.
14:34Because wherever you go, I'm gonna go with you.
14:43So, uh, are you saying that you're not going to finish that?
14:50What's the trick to posture control?
15:09Hard to say.
15:10Guess I got the gift.
15:12You've just got to feel it, you know?
15:14I'm trying to figure out your trick.
15:16You've screwed up every way imaginable,
15:18short of an accidental equipment-related asphyxiation.
15:21Please, guys.
15:23You gotta help me.
15:24I'm begging you.
15:25That's funny.
15:26Wasn't it just yesterday you said
15:28if you can't handle the pressure, you gotta leave?
15:31No, wait.
15:32Was it if you're a complete idiot, you gotta leave?
15:35Something like that.
15:37Oh, come on!
15:39I heard from everyone.
15:40You're both really good at it.
15:42Bertholdt.
15:43Reina!
15:43Sorry, kid, but there isn't any special trick to just hanging there.
15:48Not to be harsh, but if it's advice you want, I'm not really the guy.
15:51All right.
15:53Let's just hope it comes to you tomorrow.
15:56Hold on.
15:58Aren't the two of you originally from Shiganshina?
16:01Yeah, that's right.
16:02Then you should know firsthand how terrifying they are.
16:05Why on Earth would you want to be soldiers?
16:10I didn't see the things Eren did.
16:12He saw their bloodlust firsthand before anyone realized how bad it was.
16:16And I...
16:17I knew I couldn't sit idly by as the royal government
16:20forced the citizenry into the failed territory retrieval operation.
16:25I see.
16:26So where are the two of you from?
16:29Oh, Reina and I?
16:30We were both from a mountain village just southeast of La Almaria.
16:34But then that means...
16:36Yeah.
16:37Unlike the more prosperous river towns,
16:40our village didn't receive word right away.
16:43The Titans were on us before we even knew what was going on.
16:47It happened at dawn.
16:49All the livestock were so restless.
16:52Soon after, we heard these strange rumblings that just became louder and louder.
16:55Eventually, I realized those rumblings were the sound of death getting closer.
17:03I...
17:03I looked out my window and...
17:10After that...
17:14Well, uh...
17:16Everything is just a blur.
17:18I think we all just panicked.
17:20Hey, easy now.
17:21You're just getting yourself worked up again.
17:24Sorry.
17:25Basically, what I've been trying to say is this.
17:28The four of us aren't like the rest of...
17:30Of them.
17:32Them who?
17:33The others here who've never been witness to the Titans horror.
17:37Hey.
17:37Most of them are here for show.
17:47To do just what society expects.
17:50In a world where you're labeled a coward if you choose fieldwork by the time you turn 12,
17:54propriety demands our service.
17:56With that said, I'm really no different from the others.
18:02I joined the ranks hoping for assignment to the military police.
18:06Tucked away in the interior.
18:08If that doesn't work out, I'll give up entirely.
18:11I don't really have the fortitude for anything else.
18:14There's no shame in caring about your life, Bertolt.
18:19We all do.
18:23Do we?
18:25I'm going to return to the home that was taken from me.
18:28That's all I care about now.
18:31I will do it.
18:33No matter what.
18:36What about you?
18:38Why did you sign up?
18:40Why did I join?
18:49I decided I have to kill them.
18:52I won't stop till every single Titan is dead and rotting.
18:56Dead.
18:57Every last one.
19:03You saw what those monsters are capable of.
19:06And you still want to take them on?
19:08Damn right.
19:09It's just after screwing up the training.
19:12I don't know if I'm cut out to be a soldier.
19:14We'll take it from step one.
19:34Belt adjustment.
19:35By tomorrow, you'll be an expert.
19:37I know you've got what it takes.
19:41I can see it in you.
19:43Am I wrong here?
19:44No.
19:45I won't fail.
19:47Thank you, Ryder.
19:48Aaron Yeager.
20:00Are you ready?
20:02Yes, sir!
20:04I'm going to do it.
20:05I have to.
20:07I may not be as talented as the rest,
20:09but nobody,
20:10nobody has more guts.
20:13Proceed.
20:14The moment of truth.
20:24I won't fail again.
20:27To hell with working the damn fields.
20:29I'm not giving up.
20:31Not without a fight.
20:34Yeah!
20:34Yeah!
20:35I did it?
20:38No.
20:39I'm doing it.
20:40Not yet!
20:52Once more!
20:53I can do it!
20:55Lower it.
21:01I...
21:02I'm finished.
21:05Wagner,
21:06please exchange belts with Mr. Yeager.
21:09Huh?
21:09Yes, sir!
21:10Your equipment was defective.
21:20If given a piece of functional gear,
21:22you might not be worthless after all.
21:25Watermaster didn't notice this broken clasp.
21:28Might have to visit the supply depot
21:29and crack a couple skulls.
21:31He...
21:32He still did it,
21:33even while wearing that busted gear.
21:35Amazing.
21:37So you mean I...
21:38I didn't wash out?
21:39You made the cut.
21:42Now keep training, cadet!
21:44I did it!
21:46I really did it!
21:47Check it out, Mikasa!
21:49I'm doing it!
21:50I can fight the Titans!
21:53You don't have to worry about me!
21:55Not anymore!
21:56It seems like things worked out for him.
22:00Look, his eyes are saying check me out!
22:02They're not.
22:05His eyes are saying he doesn't have to leave me.
22:08Not anymore.
22:13Grisha.
22:15Today should bring you pride.
22:18Your son is a soldier.
22:20Drs.
22:39I was ready.
22:43That dream is a place in the heart
23:00It's a place to be destroyed than a life
23:06I'll see you next time.
23:36Oh
24:06After graduating from the cadets Aaron sees mankind begin to restore its dignity
24:18We can beat the titans the moment he feels certain of this humanity is given a grim reminder
