Category
🎥
Short filmTranscript
00:00In the year 845, two terrifying new breeds of Titan appeared, the Colossal and the Armored,
00:24barreling through the outer walls as if wholesale destruction was child's play.
00:30The territory couched within the circle of Walmaria was abandoned.
00:37Twenty percent of the human race perished.
00:40As the Titan Onslaught advanced, our only choice was to withdraw behind Walrose.
00:46Five years later, the Colossal Titan reappeared, entrost. Humanity had failed to stop the Titan Onslaught.
00:55Cadet Eren Jaeger, tragically consumed early on in the battle, later emerged miraculously from the fallen body of an abnormal.
01:04The
01:07The
01:39Oh
02:09Oh
02:39One more time are you a human being or a titan?
02:47I'm human
02:54So you say
02:56I'm left with no choice
03:03Those things they just kept coming. It's a nightmare
03:08Take it easy. I watched those monsters eat my squad. I saw my friends die
03:14I didn't even really feel anger or sadness about the whole thing
03:18All I could think was better you than me
03:22But soon my number will be up too. That'll be it. The end could put the game over
03:28We're supposed to find those titans until they eat every last one of us
03:33I don't want to be eaten
03:35Hey, come on. Keep it together, okay? You're not alone. You know, we're all fighting back our fear
03:42Look at sasha even after what she's seen. She remains a proper soldier
03:51My stomach hates please car me away with the loaded
03:56Let me die
03:58Stop it
04:01Well, the order to keep our mouths shut makes perfect sense now as if the situation isn't bad enough already
04:07If they knew about aaron
04:15Cannon fire but why just one shot look smoke it's inside the wall
04:22Did it bust down the water gate?
04:30Impossible it's the sturdiest part of the whole wall
04:32Maybe they set off a shell by accident, but then why is there so much smoke?
04:39Not now is that titan steam
04:43Hey
04:45Oh
05:09What the hell is that
05:15Oh
05:33It's alive captain voorman
05:35Oh
05:40Let's see what it does maintain your distance
05:43All squads remain alive
05:44It could strike at any time
05:46artillery crew get that cannon reloaded

06:19up
06:19i
06:19What is that?
06:25I know I heard them fire their cannon at us,
06:28and then there was a tremendous crash and a blast of heat.
06:33Apparently, we're now in the innards of a giant scout.
06:36Aaron did this for us, Armin.
06:38That's all we need to understand for now.
06:44Those flowers weren't there before.
06:47How did they...
06:48Armin!
06:49Hey, are you guys all right?
06:53Aaron, how'd you...
06:55I don't know, but look.
06:56It's already starting to vaporize, just like the corpse of the Titan.
07:00Let's get out of here.
07:02Hard to tell if they're watching and waiting.
07:05We're just totally dazed.
07:07I suppose it doesn't really matter much either way.
07:10I'm sure once the smoke clears, they'll resume the attack.
07:14After seeing this, I think we've blown any hope of reasoning with them.
07:21The cellar.
07:22I'm starting to remember.
07:24This key.
07:25Our house in Shiganshina.
07:27My father said I'd have to go back there.
07:29Everything hinged on it.
07:31I think it's why he gave me the power to transform.
07:33If I can make it back to our cellar, I might learn the Titan's secrets.
07:39Why did he keep this stuff secret?
07:48How many thousands of scouts have already died because my father didn't share this information?
07:53It could be the last chance humanity has!
07:55And the answer's been hidden away under our house this entire time?
08:01Is he insane?
08:03Damn him.
08:06Where have you been these last five years, Dad?
08:10Aaron.
08:11We have other business to deal with.
08:15Right.
08:17Get ready!
08:18The smoke's clearing!
08:19As soon as you see it, blast it!
08:20Kill it before it gets you!
08:21Hold your fire!
08:25Listen, I'm getting out of here.
08:37Where?
08:39And how?
08:39Anywhere but here.
08:41Then I head over the wall and straight to Shiganshina.
08:44But I'll have to become a Titan again.
08:46You can transform it, Will.
08:49To be honest, I don't know how I'm doing it, Armin.
08:52I just know that I can.
08:53It's hard to put into words, but it was, like, reflexive, see?
09:00In that moment, my mind subconsciously focused on stopping the cannonball.
09:05That's why it's decaying.
09:06It only had the endurance to meet that task.
09:13Next time I'll be stronger.
09:15I'll be a 15-meter-high Titan Slayer just like I was before!
09:19Aaron!
09:20Your nose is...
09:23Your breathing is erratic and you're pale.
09:28Something's wrong, Aaron.
09:29You're not well.
09:31As things stand, my health is irrelevant.
09:35But I have two ideas.
09:38You two could make it out of here alive if you stop trying to protect me.
09:42But I've brought you nothing but trouble as it is.
09:46I'm doing this on my own from this point forward.
09:50You're kidding.
09:52Aaron.
09:54I'm coming, too.
09:55No way.
09:56I plan to follow you whether you give me permission to or not.
10:00I swear, I'll never leave your side.
10:03Mikasa, stop it!
10:04I'm being serious here!
10:05I'm not your little brother, and I'm not some snot-nosed toddler!
10:21Captain Vormann, the cannon is almost reloaded.
10:25We're ready, sir.
10:26What are your orders for the next attack?
10:28All troops will await my signal!
10:32Yes, sir.
10:34As it stands, the garrison regiment isn't ready to assault our position yet.
10:39If they were, Mikasa would have reacted faster than the stray cat.
10:43Not some snot-nosed toddler!
10:45I would assume they have a well-trained artillery crew above us.
10:48That cannon ought to be reloaded in the next 20 seconds.
10:52Aaron will most likely spring into action and be long gone before that happens.
10:58Why am I thinking of that at a time like this?
11:03Is it...
11:04Is it because...
11:06This is the end for us?
11:09When it's all said and done...
11:12At the moment of truth...
11:14I was a coward.
11:17Same as right now.
11:19I can't count the number of times they've come to my rescue.
11:23I was always so weak.
11:25I could never reciprocate the favor.
11:28I still haven't earned the right to think of myself as their equal.
11:35I can't afford to try and repay their kindness by going with them.
11:39I'd only end up slowing them down.
11:42I'm afraid this might be the last time the three of us will ever be together.
12:00Listen, I won't...
12:04Just wait a second, would you?
12:06If you recall, I said I had two ideas.
12:10Armin, I trust you to make the right decision.
12:13Now hear me out.
12:17And yes, I'm aware of how unrealistic this plan is.
12:20The best case scenario, I try to use my Titan ability strategically under military direction.
12:28This might sound crazy.
12:30But if you think you can convince the Garrison Regiment, right here and now, that I present no threat to them,
12:37I'll trust you and we'll go with that option.
12:40Armin, that's my second idea.
12:43If you don't think you can get it done, then my last resort is the first idea.
12:50You've got 15 seconds to decide.
12:53Think you can get it done?
12:55Listen, I'll respect your opinion either way.
12:57Armin, why would you leave such a major decision up to me?
13:08Because you keep a level head.
13:10You always choose well, no matter how ugly things get.
13:14I figure that's worth relying on.
13:17When have I done that?
13:19Come on, you do it all the time.
13:21Take five years ago.
13:22If you hadn't gone to Mr. Hannes for help,
13:25Mikasa and I would have been eaten by the Titans.
13:37That's how you see me?
13:40You don't think I'm a poor excuse for a friend?
13:44I had convinced myself that I was just a burden to all of you.
13:49But you never...
13:52You never thought of me that way at all.
13:55Armin!
13:56Our time's up.
14:00Artillery crew has reloaded, Captain.
14:02It's your call, sir.
14:05Aaron and Mikasa have enough faith in me to put their lives in my hands.
14:09And I have complete trust in the two of them.
14:12More than anyone else in this world.
14:13And that fact alone is all the convincing I need.
14:21I will persuade them, trust me.
14:23You two just act as non-aggressively as you possibly can, agreed?
14:34Since Aaron first appeared and fought as a Titan,
14:37something has been gnawing at the back of my mind.
14:39I haven't had a chance to collect my thoughts yet,
14:41but I can do this.
14:42I'll just have to think as I talk.
14:49Pulse! Pulse!
14:55Is this supposed to be a true form, monster?
14:58I don't buy it!
14:59I'll give the signal the fire!
15:01I mean it!
15:01Aaron is not a foe of humanity!
15:04We're willing to cooperate with military command
15:06and share everything we've learned about his powers!
15:09Your pleas fall on deaf ears!
15:11He revealed his true form and because of that threat he cannot leave here alive!
15:15If you insist he's not an enemy of ours, show me proof!
15:18Otherwise we'll blast them back to whatever nightmare he crawled out of!
15:21You don't need any proof!
15:23That's right.
15:24There's no need at all.
15:26The fact of the matter is,
15:28it doesn't matter what we perceive him to be!
15:31What?
15:32The reports say hundreds of soldiers saw him
15:35and those who were there say they saw him fighting other titans!
15:39And that means they saw him get swarmed by the titans as well!
15:43To put it plainly,
15:45the titans saw him the same way they see each and every human being as their prey!
15:49And it doesn't matter how else you may look at it!
15:52That is an irrefutable fact!
15:53The titans' behavior has always been beyond our comprehension!
16:07I wouldn't put it past him to assume human form!
16:25He's speaking our language in an attempt to deceive us!
16:28I refuse to let them continue this behavior and shit!
16:36It's hopeless.
16:38He let logic give way to hysteria.
16:41Too frightened to think it through.
16:45Eren!
16:46Mikasa!
16:56I am a soldier!
16:58And I have dedicated my heart to the restoration of humanity, sir!
17:03Nothing could make me prouder
17:04than dying for such a noble cause!
17:07If we were to use his titan ability
17:10and combine it with the manpower we have left,
17:12I believe we can do it!
17:14We can retake this city!
17:16For humanity's glory,
17:18in what little time I have left to live,
17:21I will advocate his strategic value!
17:23I will advocate his strategic value!
17:28Captain Vormann,
17:29his words are worth considering, sir.
17:31Maybe we should...
17:31Quiet!
17:34Don't let their words sway you!
17:37They're all traitors!
17:38I swore an oath as an officer!
17:40I will crush all insubordination!
17:42That's enough!
17:49You should really do something about your nervous disposition, Captain Vormann.
17:54C-C-Commander Pyxis!
17:58Can you not see this soldier's heartfelt salute?
18:07I've only just arrived, but I'm quite aware of our situation.
18:11Gather our reinforcements.
18:13I think we could at least do these young soldiers the favor of hearing them out.
18:25According to reports from the Scout Regiment,
18:28it was anticipated that the Titans would appear from the south.
18:31These reports were proven accurate when the Titans attacked Shiganshina District,
18:35located on the south side of Walmaria.
18:38Therefore, it was surmised that their next most likely target would be the fortified city of Trost,
18:45on the southern side of Walrose.
18:54Dot Pyxis.
18:56The commanding officer responsible for the southern territory.
18:59The man in charge of the defense of Trost district.
19:02The man given full authority over preserving humanity's most vital remaining territory.
19:09Nope, not any of you.
19:11Eaten by a Titan wouldn't be so bad, if it was a sexy lady one.
19:17The man also notorious for being genuinely eccentric.
19:21What the hell is going through the commander's head?
19:24Going up there with those freaks and not bringing any bodyguards?
19:27Well, sir, that's the commander.
19:31He's well known for taking a less traditional approach.
19:34Captain Vorman, we have finished assembling the troops, sir.
19:38Ah, well done.
19:45That's that.
19:47So, visiting this cellar should clear everything up?
19:50Yes, sir.
19:51Well, at least I think so.
19:52For the moment, there is no way to validate all of the claims you've made.
19:57For now, I'll just catalog them in here.
20:00With that said, I can usually tell the difference between the unctuous and the sincere,
20:06which is why I personally guarantee your safety.
20:11Your cadet Armin Arlert, is that correct?
20:14Yes, sir.
20:15You mentioned a plan to harness this so-called Titan ability,
20:19and then utilize your friend's power to retake the city.
20:22Do you believe it could work?
20:24Or were you grasping at straws to try and save your hides?
20:29Well, both, commander.
20:33I was going to suggest that Aaron, using his strength as a Titan,
20:37could lift that giant boulder.
20:40We could use it to block off the wrecked gate.
20:42That was the best idea I was able to come up with on the spot.
20:47I just wanted to make everyone see how Aaron's ability might provide a solution to the problem we all face.
20:57Granted, I was pretty desperate to survive.
21:02Desperate to survive, huh?
21:04That's as credible a reason as any, son.
21:06What do you say, cadet Jaeger?
21:19Say, sir?
21:20That hole, do you think that you could plug it up, son?
21:25Well, I... I don't know.
21:28It's possible.
21:29But at the moment, I don't understand my power any more than you do.
21:34It's just, I sort of feel irresponsible giving you an answer.
21:40Because I don't really know.
21:42Ah, yes.
21:43Of course, my apologies.
21:45I asked you the wrong question.
21:48Are you willing to, cadet Jaeger?
21:51Or not?
22:04I'll do it.
22:24I'll do it.
22:26I don't know if I can seal that hole.
22:28But... I'll do it.
22:31I'll do it.
