And as we ride to certain death,
we trust our successors to do the same for us.
Because my soldiers do not buckle or yield
when faced with the cruelty of this world.
My soldiers push forward!
My soldiers scream out!
My soldiers rage!
[SCOUTS screaming]
--The commander! --Ride. Don't look back!
Keep charging!
[SCOUTS yelling]
♪ Opening Song ♪
[ZEKE TITAN] How sad.
To be deprived of the chance to learn from the past.
King Reiss stole their memories of the outside world,
and this is the tragic result.
They're doomed to repeat the same foolish mistakes.
And in the end, all of them will go to their deaths.
Young and old, pouring out of the walls in a suicide charge.
[ZEKE TITAN] Because if they're going to die,
they may as well do so proudly.
What bullshit!
[ZEKE gasps]
[ZEKE TITAN] I crushed it into dust?
Ha, ha. What's gotten into me?
Why am I getting so worked up?
You're not like your father, remember?
You need to find joy where you can.
So now, I'll turn them all into proud little chunks of meat!
The second volley's coming!
Fire!
[MARLO] It's coming.
[MARLO] Is this how I die?
[MARLO] I wonder what Hitch is doing?
Knowing her, she's probably still sleeping.
[MARLO] Sounds nice.
But why am I thinking about her at a time like this?
[SCOUTS screaming]
[ZEKE TITAN] Yeah! Game over!
Ha! How'd you like that?
I thought I'd change up the pitch a little.
I'd call that a shutout.
[SCOUTS yelling]
[ZEKE gasps]
[SCOUT 54A yelling]
Fire!
Foolish.
You really think those little toy guns are going to help?
[SCOUTS screaming]
[ZEKE TITAN] And all that screaming.
What good could that possibly do?!
[SCOUTS screaming]
How sad.
Poor, pathetic things.
[ZEKE] Hmm?
[ZEKE] What's this?
My Titans have fallen?
[LEVI growls]
[gasps, grunts]
[yells]
[LEVI yells]
[ZEKE] Huh?
A single soldier might pose a threat to me?
Yes. Captain Levi is dangerous.
[ZEKE] Is this Levi?
--[ZEKE] My nape! --[LEVI grunts]
[ZEKE gasps] What the?
I can't see!
[ZEKE] Did he take out my eyes?
[LEVI grunts]
[ZEKE gasps] My legs!
What's wrong? Not enjoying yourself so much anymore?
[LEVI grunts]
[ZEKE] Tch. I'll harden!
I won't make it in time!
[LEVI] Come on, let's have some fun!
[LEVI grunts]
[BOTH yelling]
[yells]
[screams]
After transforming, if your body's severely damaged,
it's too busy healing to let you resume your Titan form.
Isn't that right?
[ZEKE groans]
Hey. I asked a question.
It's only polite to answer.
[LEVI] I can't kill him yet.
There must be someone out there who's still alive.
It doesn't matter if they're on the brink of death.
I can inject them and make them a Titan.
[LEVI] Then we just have them eat this guy,
and the Beast Titan's power is ours.
If there's one person still breathing, I can save them.
[LEVI gasps]
[LEVI grunts]
[gasps]
[LEVI] Hey. Where are you going?
Stop.
Go, now! Rip him to pieces!
It hurts!
They were right about you, Levi!
You are dangerous.
But you must've used all your weapons up by now.
You'll die like the rest of them!
It may have been a hard-won fight, but victory is ours!
Hold on.
I made a promise to Commander Erwin...
...that I would kill you no matter what it took.
I promised!
[LEVI grunts]
There's no way.
I'm alive? How's that possible?
The others!
[FLOCH] Hey!
Is anyone else out there?
[JEAN] That bastard.
What'll take to put him down for good?
Why won't he just stay dead?
What the hell do we do against something like that?
[JEAN] Hey, Armin.
I think getting Eren out of here safely
might be the best we can hope for.
[ARMIN] He's thinner.
[BOTH] Huh?
[ARMIN] The Colossal Titan.
He's gotten a little thinner.
Guys! It's exactly like Hange said!
Our best bet against the Colossal
is a battle of attrition!
You remember her experiments with Eren?
He could only transform up to three times.
If that's the case for a 15-meter Titan,
a 60-meter might be even less efficient!
And then there's his steam.
I think he must be burning through flesh and muscle tissue
to produce it.
Everything except for his skeleton.
[JEAN] So, what are you saying?
[MIKASA] Armin.
[ARMIN] I have a plan.
The rest of you need to draw Reiner away.
Eren and I will defeat the Colossal Titan ourselves.
[BOTH gasp]
The two of us can do it.
Trust me on this.
All right, then.
You leave Reiner to us and get going.
Sure took ya long enough.
You had me thinkin' we were all gonna die here.
[EREN] Couldn't tell you why, but...
...when I think about the freedom that we all lost...
...I feel strong and fearless.
[ARMIN] If this plan goes the way I'm hoping it will, well...
...I won't get to visit the sea.
[ARMIN] I couldn't tell you why,
but when I think of the outside world,
I feel courage flow through me.
[ARMIN grunts]
Eren, wake up!
The sea is waiting for us.
[ARMIN] Okay, that's the plan, more or less.
So now we just have to execute it.
If we can succeed in tricking Bertholdt, then... we'll win.
The day will be ours.
[JEAN] Understand?
We're leaving Bertholdt to them.
We have to trust they can handle him.
As for us, we need to keep Reiner at a safe distance.
Fly just close enough to him to get his attention.
[MIKASA, CONNY, SASHA] Got it!
[SASHA gasps]
[BOTH groan]
[CONNY] He ignored us?
Damn it!
It looks like he's focused on Eren.
[MIKASA grunts] Then we'll just have to kill him!
Mikasa!
[MIKASA grunts]
Hey!
If we can't get Reiner's attention,
we'll have to finish him off right here!
Our job is to protect Eren and Armin!
Yeah. I know that.
We've only got three Thunder Spears.
That's all, but...
We've gotta try anyway!
Because there's no way we're gonna win if we don't fight!
[REINER] Something hit me.
But what?
A single attack took out my knee.
I can't remember much after that moment.
I'm gonna blow this whole area away.
If you can, lie down with your Titan body facing upwards.
[REINER] Bertholdt.
I'm confused.
What the hell happened to me?
I don't know what's going on.
I don't have much strength left, but...
...I do know Eren's over there.
As long as we capture him,
that means we got what we came for.
[REINER] Right, Bertholdt?
[REINER] I'll deal with these idiots as quickly as I can
and then head over to back you up.
[BERTHOLDT] The four of them who went that way
must be after Reiner.
So, the only ones who survived the blast
were the members of the 104th who were with Eren.
[BERTHOLDT] Honestly, I was hoping they would have all died
in the blast, but...
...I'm used to having to fight for what I want, Armin.
What's the point of waking Eren
when he's all battered like that?
[BERTHOLDT] These are your final moments.
I'm interested to see how you'll spend them.
The real question is, how long can I hold out?
It's on me.
If I give up too soon, the plan will fail,
no matter how good it is.
[EREN gasps] Hold on.
Armin, are you...?
Sorry, but I can't die till I get a chance to look at the sea.
So I'll have to let go before things get really bad, okay?
The rest will be up to you.
No big surprise.
I mean, I've never exactly been a hero, so...
[EREN] No. You're wrong.
You just can't see what I do.
Don't worry. It'll be okay.
In all the years we've known each other,
have I ever lied to you?
And I promised that we'd go to the sea together.
[ARMIN] So no matter what happens,
stick to my plan till the end.
[EREN gasps] Shit.
[BOTH gasp]
[ARMIN] Eren!
I knew it.
This battle's already been won.
He probably has a severe concussion.
I doubt he can even stand up on his own.
[BERTHOLDT] Enough of this.
Let's end it.
[growls]
[ARMIN yelling]
[grunts]
[BERTHOLDT] Armin.
You fought well to the very end.
But it's over now.
Eren! Armin!
No. They have their own job.
We need to focus on Reiner.
[JEAN] If we're going to take him out
with just three Thunder Spears,
this is the only way.
We'll initiate the attack while he still can't move.
It might not work.
But win or lose, this ends now.
[REINER] Bring it on.
[JEAN yells]
[JEAN] Reiner!
[JEAN] First, I act as bait.
[gasps]
[JEAN] Conny and Sasha will follow
with two of the remaining Thunder Spears.
and aim for Reiner's jaw from both sides!
[CONNY yells]
Sasha!
Jean!
[MIKASA] One of them missed.
[JEAN] If we blow off his jaw,
that should leave Reiner's mouth wide open.
Mikasa should be able to aim the last Thunder Spear
at his nape from inside the mouth.
[MIKASA] It's not open.
Doesn't matter.
I have to try anyway.
[BERTHOLDT] I don't understand.
How is he still holding on?
His anchor should've come loose.
He shouldn't even be able to get this close!
[ARMIN] I knew it.
His bones aren't being consumed!
The anchors stay put if they're not in muscle!
But most importantly, he's stationary.
He can't move his body while he's emitting steam!
[BERTHOLDT] Really, Armin?
This is how you want it to end?
Smart as you are,
this is the best plan you could come up with?
Flailing in midair.
Being scorched to death.
[ARMIN] I can't breathe!
I have to let go.
No! Not yet! It's not enough!
I have to keep fighting.
Buy more time!
[BERTHOLDT] What's the point of this?
A diversion?
But Eren's still collapsed there on the ground.
Mikasa and the others
have their hands full with Reiner.
Just a last, desperate act.
All right.
If this really is the end for you,
I'll do my best to make it quick.
[ARMIN screams]
[ARMIN] Hold on!
Don't let go!
Entrust it all to Eren.
[ARMIN] My dreams.
My life.
Everything!
The only thing I have to give is this!
[ARMIN] He'll make it.
Someday... Eren...
...will reach the sea.
[ARMIN] He'll reach the sea...
[ARMIN] ...for both of us!
[CONNY] Mikasa! It's too risky!
[HANGE] No, it's perfect!
[CONNY gasps]
[HANGE grunts]
[ALL gasp]
[MIKASA] Hange!
Now's your chance! Get him!
No, she can't!
Reiner!
It's over!
[BERTHOLDT] It's over.
Now, it's just Eren and the horses.
[gasps]
[BERTHOLDT] What the?
A hardened Titan?
[BERTHOLDT gasps]
Gotcha!
[yells]
[BERTHOLDT] It was a diversion!
Eren tricked me into thinking he was out of the fight.
Armin was buying him time,
giving him the chance to harden--
to make a replica Titan in his place.
[BOTH gasp]
[BERTHOLDT] They did it... to make me lower my guard.
So Eren... could sneak up behind me...
...and attack.
In all the years we've known each other,
have I ever lied to you?
Dammit. I should've known how far he'd go.
[ARMIN crying]
[EREN] Hey, why don't you put up a fight?
Huh?
They pick on you 'cause you won't hit back.
You fine with losing forever?
[ARMIN sniffles]
You're wrong.
I'm not losing.
Huh?
Because I don't run.
[EREN] So, what's your name?
[ARMIN gasps]
[EREN] Armin, you are a hero.
You're the bravest of us all.
