Original subtitles

[Eren] Over 100 years ago, Titans suddenly appeared

and devoured most of humanity, decimating civilization.

The survivors built three massive concentric walls

to prevent another Titan invasion

and managed a peaceful life inside.

But even though the walls have stood for 100 years...

there are no guarantees they won't fall today.

-[man] He was fired again! -[woman] What a hopeless kid.

Eren... again?

What to do with him...

What to do, indeed.

Sorry, Dad. I need to step out.

Going to see Eren?

Tell him I'm all out of job leads.

-I'm going now. -Make it clear.

The usual hill, I bet.

Be careful.

Hey there. Can I get some rapeseed oil?

[man 2] It's a good crop this year.

[man 1] A full tank.

[man 2] Sure thing.

[indistinct chatter]

Outta the way!

Armin!

This thing you made me, it broke.

[loud buzzing]

See?

[buzzing stops]

I'll fix it later.

Don't take too long.

Oh, sorry.

Is Mikasa around?

Mikasa?

Mikasa!

[indistinct chatter]

[goats bleating]

[cow moos]

[eagle screeches]

[Mikasa] Eren!

[Mikasa] I knew you'd be here.

[Eren] This thing keeps people away.

[Armin] It's dangerous.

[laughs]

Chill out. It's a dud bomb.

Ow…

What if it explodes?

So be it.

I wouldn't mind…

if it blew us all up.

Heard you got fired again.

Only a month into the job.

Longer than the security gig.

Why can't you ever stick with something?

What is it you want to do?

Are you happy just taking over for your dad?

[Armin] Look. This runs on batteries.

Batteries?

-[loud buzzing] -[buzzing stops]

I want to make more things like these.

Just be careful you don't get arrested.

And you, Mikasa?

Me?

[Eren] Yeah.

I only...

Are you content?

The Inner District is full of big buildings and rich people.

Lots of stuff you can't find out here.

Don't you want to go?

[Eren] Then, what about outside the Wall?

[Eren] Born inside the Wall...

and dying inside it.

You're fine with that?

I'm...

not!

I'm just like...

[Eren] This thing.

Wait...

Hey! Let me see.

[Armin] Look!

[Eren] A woman...

[Armin] The ocean...

Ocean?

The big water you mentioned?

[Armin] This blue thing must be the ocean.

[Mikasa] Ocean?

[Armin] So, it was real.

Not a pond?

A billion times bigger.

That really exists out there?

Just like I said.

[eagle screeches]

[Mikasa] I wonder if that bird has seen the ocean.

[Eren] Wanna see it?

[indistinct chatter]

Protecting the Wall instead of people.

[Eren] Screw that job.

Let's go.

[Mikasa] Wait a second...

[Armin] We can't get near it.

This way.

Hurry, over here.

I'll be fine.

Careful.

Right?

[Mikasa] I've never seen the Wall this close.

[wind howls]

[sneezes]

Let's go.

I don't need to go now.

Then when?

If you climb the Wall you'll be executed.

And they say the outside is full of Titans.

Due to a huge bomb, only Titans can survive outside.

You seriously believe in Titans?

No one's seen them in over 100 years.

Yet we're holed up in here, afraid of them.

I'm sick of it.

Maybe the other side...

is paradise.

[man] Hey, what're you doing?

You renegades!

Come!

[man 1] This is off-limits!

Don't touch her!

[man 2] Stop resisting!

[man] That was uncalled for!

[Mikasa] Armin, don't!

That's enough.

[Souda] Hey, hey!

[Souda] You haven't changed.

Old man Souda...

Leave this to me.

Hey! They're just kids.

Go.

Go on.

[Souda] So, trying to showoff in front of her?

It's not like that!

I get it, I get it.

I was caught doing the same thing as a kid.

I asked your mom to come along.

Your dad ended up winning her, though.

[laughs]

This isn't about that.

It just pisses me off.

"Even Paradise could become a prison...

if you take notice of the walls."

Now, don't tell the others about this.

We're starting a scout.

A scout?

You're going outside?

Lies. It'll fall through again.

It won't!

Looks like the Council will finally pass it.

The public discontent is rising.

You're really... going outside the Wall?

We're forming a Scout Regiment.

Eren... how about it?

Once we find new land we're free to live anywhere.

Mikasa...

[loud thudding]

[cement crumbling]

An earthquake?

Too big for an earthquake.

The Wall's shaking!

It's from outside.

[Mikasa] Eren, no!

[Titan roars]

So, they're... real.

It's taller than the Wall!

This can't be…

I thought we were safe!

There's something there!

What is that?

[man] Remember our drills!

[roaring continues]

[Titan laughs]

Run! The Wall will be breached!

[Eren] The town!

[man] Hey! Run this way!

Prepare the cannons!

Prepare the cannons!

[Mikasa] Hurry!

We don't have permission to use gunpowder yet!

Hurry! They're coming!

Hurry!

[Souda] Don't panic! Remember the drills!

[Titan groans]

[Titans groaning]

Look at those faces...

[Titans laughing]

Prepare the cannons!

[man] Draw them in!

-[man 1] Yes, sir! -[man 2] Prepare the cannons!

Ready to fire!

Fire!

It's a hit!

The legend was true...

They're immortal.

Reload!

[Souda] Come on!

[man] It's hopeless.

[indistinct screaming]

Help me! I'm sorry!

I'm sorry!

[screams]

[man] Squad Leader!

Squad Leader!

Let's run!

[Mikasa] Armin!

[Armin gasps]

-[gun cocking] -Ready!

That thing won't...

[gunshot]

[indistinct screaming]

I'm gonna check on my home!

[Titan moans]

[screaming]

[Titan laughs]

[Eren] Armin, run...

[Eren] That's... Armin's dad.

[device buzzes]

[Eren] Let's go in!

[baby cries]

[woman] Please don't push!

Wait!

Wait!

[Mikasa] That woman...

[Eren] I'll go!

Get up!

[Mikasa] I'll get the baby.

Mikasa!

Mikasa!

[man] That's it, close it! Now!

Mikasa!

Mikasa!

[man] Close the door!

[door slams shut]

[Eren] Why?

There's still room!

[man] Don't you dare open it!

The Titans are coming!

Only trying to save yourselves...

[loud thud]

Mikasa!

Mikasa!

[man] Hold him down!

Mikasa!

[Titan laughs]

[laughing continues]

[Titan howls]

[loud thud]

Mikasa...

[Titans groaning]

[wood cracking]

Help!

[screaming]

TWO YEARS LATER

[Kubal] The price for our years of peace...

was paid for with tragedy.

The Outer Wall at Monzen District

was destroyed by a Titan larger than ever imagined.

Unable to counter the surge of Titans,

we abandoned the agricultural zone...

and retreated behind the Middle Wall to the commercial zone.

With hordes of refugees

and the loss of farmlands our food shortage is becoming dire.

In order to reclaim our farmlands,

we must restore the broken Outer Wall.

It is to carry out this prestigious mission

that you have all completed your training.

Weapons Squad Leader Hange.

[Hange] Sir!

The days of being trampled by Titans are over.

Now we have Omni-Directional Mobility Gear!

With ODMG... victory will be ours!

At the Omotemachi transit point,

we will join the recon team led by Captain Shikishima.

[whispering] Captain Shikishima!

We will depart for Monzen at sunset.

May you fight to honor the spirits of the war dead.

Give your hearts!

[all] Give your hearts!

I'll be back, so take care of Mom.

The family's in your hands.

Now that's a good daughter.

[man] You were always a glutton, never making yourself useful!

Sasha, pick 'em up!

Pick 'em up, I said.

I'm sorry.

Just do it, Sasha.

Jean, my son, you must take revenge for me.

[man] Jean, become the pride of our clan.

Offer your soul to the spirits of the war dead.

Jean! Jean!

Mommy's only going to be gone for a little bit, okay!

Just be a good girl and... Riko!

Riko!

[man] Hey, don't cry, little brother… Hey, hey...

Koyuki, who's this?

Is this supposed to be me?

It's a little fat to be me, no?

Hey, don't cry, I'll be fine...

Cry baby.

No one's gonna be waiting for us.

[girl] Mister.

Here, you can have this.

Thanks.

[man] Koyuki, your brother's leaving now.

[Koyuki] Brother...

[woman] Koyuki, let's go.

That's mine!

Mr. Souda.

Armin...

Old man Souda?

Eren?

So, you're alive!

So, now...

you boys, too.

Well, everyone died.

What happened to the girl?

It was my fault.

That's not true.

That's why... I'm going to get them back.

Revenge on the Titans, eh?

Killing one or two won't make a difference, you know.

[Armin] Why did you volunteer, then?

To see my wife and child.

[Souda] They're waiting.

Excuse me!

What do you want?

I'm sorry.

Are you finished?

[Armin] Are you even listening?

[Armin] Look, right now, the Outer Wall in Monzen...

has a hole in it like this.

So, we detonate this portion to plug that hole.

The Wall becomes shorter, but it's twice as tall as the Titans.

So, we can stop any more Titans from entering.

That's the Outer Wall Restoration Mission.

Once we plug that hole we exterminate the Titans inside.

Sasha...

But previous restoration missions failed miserably.

They were attacked by Titans before reaching the Wall,

and now we are out of explosives.

All that's left are the last explosives in Omotemachi.

If we fail, that'll be the end of humanity.

We have no choice.

[Sannagi] You don't have to.

Pipsqueaks like you just get in the way.

Not just you, look around.

Just a bunch of useless bums.

It's been a long war of attrition.

Inevitably there will be more inexperienced folks.

Sure.

But even the Scout Regiment was wiped out in this mission.

Instead we've got...

a potato girl whose mind is only on eating...

Seconds, please.

How could you eat right now?

Sorry, lady.

Not enough farmlands.

But I was told workers won't ever go hungry.

How naive are you?

Your parents sold you to save costs.

You all came here because you couldn't find work.

[Sannagi] Now I'm being lumped with you scum who're just here to die.

[Lil] Stop with this talk of dying.

I can't... I just can't do this!

Lil, Lil, Lil...

Don't worry. I'll protect you.

Damn lovebirds. Go somewhere else.

He seems annoyed.

He's afraid of Titans.

You nailed it.

Titans are like nothing to me.

Do Titans have nipples?

Do they have nipples?

[Eren] You talk big for never having seen one.

Just a spoiled brat from inland.

Say that again.

[Hange] They don't!

I told you Titans have no reproductive organs.

So, they have no nipples, either.

How they propagate is a mystery.

I want to dissect one, but they evaporate when they die.

So, I need a live Titan!

I want to do this!

Gather in ten minutes for gear check!

Oh, that reminds me...

There was a guy who abandoned his girl when he saw a Titan.

[Sannagi] Bet he's missing his nuts, too.

[man] Hey, stop it! Knock it off!

You two, always going at it.

Sannagi, let me down!

[Eren] Let go of me!

[man] We gather in ten.

[siren drones]

[indistinct shouting]

Hey, pick up the pace!

It'll be okay.

You're going home.

You're from Monzen, right?

Everyone died.

I want to go home, too.

Sannagi, were you from a Yuen farm?

Yeah. I want to go home and farm again.

For my brothers and sisters.

I'd do anything for them.

The old road to Omotemachi.

[Hange] Titans sleep at night and their eyes won't work anyway.

So, we'll go straight to Omotemachi by dawn.

"Abandon all hope, you who enter here."

But do not raise your voices!

Titans are very responsive to human voices

and the other Titans will notice!

[Hange] Bite your tongue before you scream!

If you don't want to die, get to Omotemachi by dawn.

[man] Open the gate!

Those who pass this gate must give up hope.

[Sannagi] Past this hell, the Goddess awaits at Omotemachi.

The Goddess?

You don't know?

The Titan-slaying female squad leader under Shikishima.

They say she killed over ten Titans in half a year.

Sounds more like a Grim Reaper than a goddess.

I'm afraid.

Don't worry.

[gasping]

There's something there.

Stop the vehicles.

[gasping]

[man] Already there?

[man] Awfully early.

What's going on? This isn't Omotemachi.

Check the premises.

Move out.

Oh... come on.

What is it?

Just cattle.

Do Titans only eat humans?

Forward. Each squad to the front.

[Sannagi] Potato Girl, you'll wake up the Titans with that noise.

[Armin] Here.

Not enough?

Here.

Mm!

You always feed me.

[Fukushi] Wait.

Still no Titans coming out. We should get there by dawn.

Hey, don't say it aloud. You'll jinx us.

All clear. Let's go.

There's a child...

A child left behind.

Don't be stupid.

We have to help.

Hey.

We have to help...

Hiana...

[Hiana] I can hear it.

[water dripping]

[breathing heavily]

Ah...

Shit.

[baby cries]

[cries grow louder]

[Hiana] We're close.

-Ah! -[gasps]

[baby cries]

[crunching]

[gasps]

[Titan coos]

[Titan cries]

[Hiana whimpers]

[Titan screams]

[loud thudding]

[screams continue]

Get up!

[distant groaning]

Those idiots...

`Where? Where are they?

[Shikishima] Hey, keep it down.

You'll wake up the titans.

Keep calm.

[Shikishima] Keep calm!

No matter what happens...

[Titan moaning]

don't raise your voices!

Captain!

They brought them.

[woman screaming]

[Titan groaning]

Director-General!

[man 1] Go! Go!

[man 2] Forward!

Hey, wait, we're not on yet!

You guys, wait!

Just run and make it to the tall buildings up ahead!

-We're not fighting them? -What about the ODMG?

Where do we fire them?

We can't beat them head on!

[Titan roars]

Armin!

Sannagi!

Don't raise... your voices.

[Titans laughing]

We're almost there! Run!

We're there!

That's Omotemachi!

[screams]

[Hange] Titans are not invincible.

Even if you destroy their limbs or head…

They'll quickly regenerate.

But this spot right here!

If the nape is severely damaged…

It will perish without regenerating.

However, it's difficult to attack this area with firearms.

Currently, our most effective tool is the ODMG.

With this on our hips we can move quickly and freely in the air.

Fire the anchor and reel it in to lift yourself up.

Maintain the height as you aim for the nape.

Of course, remember to evade the Titan's attacks.

Then use the blades to carve the flesh from the nape.

Without its nape, the Titan will die.

Once a Titan dies its body will evaporate.

At present, this is the only known method of killing a Titan.

[Jean] The Scout Regiment! That's Captain Shikishima.

Wouldn't mind a hot Titan chick for once.

We're finished!

[Titan groans]

[groans]

I'm tying it. Hang in there.

Director-General Kubal is here.

You guarded the explosives well.

I attempted to inspect the contents.

But this was impossible to open.

Director-General, what about the explosives?

There are rumors of an insurgency, you see.

[heavy door slides open]

Oh! Oh! [laughs]

I see.

It’s certainly safe down there.

Sorry, it was top secret.

[man] Finish loading by dawn!

[woman] They're our last explosives. Treat them with care.

You messed this whole thing up!

If you wanna die, do it alone!

You've got a death wish.

You smell, you spoiled brat.

[Eren] You peed in your pants, huh?

[Eren] The Titans scared you?

Stop it!

Stop it!

You're too slow.

You're the one who's slow.

Thanks.

What the hell…

Enough with the disturbance.

[Eren] Mikasa!

Mikasa, it's you, right? What happened?

[Shikishima] Nice kick...

It's Captain Shikishima!

...if it's just for fun.

Rookie, your name?

Eren... I'm Eren!

Eren?

From Monzen?

[Shikishima] For just messing around.

Your parents?

They died. I was too young to remember.

I see.

Um. About Mikasa...

Why is she...?

Why?

Why what?

Why is she able to toy with Titans?

I taught her.

You want to learn too, huh?

Well, of course... I want to defeat the Titans.

Why?

Because I hate them... those Titans.

Why do you hate them?

Because... they're the ones who trapped us in.

[laughs]

Wrong.

[Shikishima] The true enemy...

isn't the Titans.

The true enemy?

The true enemy...

is safety.

What do you call animals that live…

inside fences in fear of wolves?

Cattle.

And what are you?

I'm...

not!

[Shikishima] Then go fly.

Fly?

You can only gain by letting go.

The kid I gave this to... he died.

I hear there used to be lots of machines.

People back then even flew the skies.

But now it's forbidden.

Director-General!

At ease.

Tell me, did you learn in school...

what that technological advancement led to?

Environmental destruction, wasted resources,

useless competition and war.

[Kubal] Precisely.

Now get yourself some good rest.

[Sasha] Ah!

[man] At daybreak we head for Monzen.

[man] Inspect your gear and rest up.

Fighting is the one thing he was always good at.

You reek of booze.

Why do you hate that guy so much?

His face... It's as if he's carrying the world's misery by himself.

He lost his girlfriend, right?

Her name was Mikasa.

[piano playing softly]

[Eren] Mikasa.

I'm just...

glad.

Glad?

That baby was eaten.

And so was I.

The world is cruel.

[Mikasa] I'm just going to kill Titans.

Sorry.

Did I interrupt?

No.

Want it?

It's good.

Ah!

Calling the Titans again?

Sorry.

It should be me apologizing.

Forget it.

What happened between you and Squad Leader Mikasa?

Still act like a kid, huh?

It doesn't matter... anymore.

[Lil] There's someone here.

[Fukushi] It's fine, they're not looking.

[Lil] Hey, wait.

Does your back feel okay?

[Fukushi] Lil, I love you.

I wonder...

if those two will get to marry.

If they make it home alive.

It's not right that we need permission to get married.

And even if you have a baby...

Riko...

You have a daughter, right?

By volunteering for duty, I get child support.

You okay with a single mother?

Will you be father to my daughter?

[Titan moans]

[screams]

[Titan laughs]

[Hiana] I don't want to die! No, let me go!

We're surrounded! We're under attack!

[man] We're under attack! We're under attack!

Lil, Lil! Hurry!

[man] Put on your ODMG!

-Lil, let's go! -Wait!

[man] Defend the explosives!

Too narrow here to fire our anchors!

ODMG troops to the rooftop!

Damn!

[Shikishima] Four ahead, you go left.

[Mikasa] Will do.

[Shikishima grunts]

Quit fidgeting. At least die with dignity.

[Titan groans]

Ah!

Ah!

[indistinct shouting]

[man] Come on, move it!

It's all about the explosives!

Defend them at all costs!

[man] This side is gone, retreat!

[Lil] Hey, wake up! I said wake up!

Please, wake up...

It's dangerous here, let's go.

Wait! Will you please treat him?

I'm sorry, but your boyfriend is...

[Lil] Fukushi...

[whimpers]

[Souda] We have to go.

[Lil] Let me go! Let me go!

I'll kill them Titans! I'll kill them!

Let's go.

[Hange] Hey.

Who's driving that?

No one gave you permission!

Thief! He's stealing the explosives!

Stop! Stop!

Get out!

[Lil] Die, you Titans!

[thud]

Stop it! Stop the vehicle!

Why's it on fire?

Stop it!

[Lil] There you are!

I'll kill you all!

Get down! Get down!

Fukushi...

[Eren] How pretty.

But such a waste.

The explosives... That was it!

Don't! You're gonna die!

How could this happen?

This belonged to the thief.

[Jean] This is hell...

[Eren] What are you doing here?

Humans are...

weak, you see.

[screams]

We'll be eaten.

Now's the chance... Let's run.

What do you call animals that live inside fences in fear of wolves?

[Jean] Cattle.

[Eren] And what are you?

I'm not!

Then go fly.

Then go fly.

I can't! There's no way we're going to win!

Then be that way for the rest of your life!

[Jean] Eren!

Bastard...

Damn it.

[Shikishima] You can't fear being caught!

Fly right into them!

Fly!

Close one.

Always go back to deliver the final blow.

I'll do it!

You're mine!

[Eren screams]

Well, sometimes we're unlucky.

Hey!

Hey, look!

Jean!

He only talked big.

Everyone, I have a plan.

[Jean yells]

[Titans moaning]

[Hange] Pull back...

Hey, big guy! Wanna eat more?

Then try eating me!

You can never eat enough!

[Sounda] What, you clunkhead? You angry, huh?

Mr. Souda, please...

Guys...

[Souda] Come here, Titans!

Come on, you slowpokes! Come over here!

[Titan groans]

[laughter]

Now!

Don't mess with me!

Well done!

Good, let's move on!

Where's Eren?

Somewhere up there, dead.

[Titan laughing]

[Armin] Ah! Ah!

[all] Armin!

[Titan groans]

Armin...

Damn, they're not working!

Armin!

I won't let you...

die here!

Eren!

Armin!

Hiana!

[screams]

[Eren] I'm driving you all out...

Let's get out of here! It's full of Titans!

Something's calling them.

Where's Captain Shikishima?

[Hange] Fighting, probably.

Where's Director-General and the Guards?

They already evacuated...

Don't tell me... they used us as bait.

Minami!

Hey, get away, Minami!

[screams]

Mikasa.

Eren was... eaten.

[Armin] It was my fault.

I'm sorry.

[Mikasa] I'll carve an escape path.

Our task is still to kill Titans.

You can't! You're almost out of gas!

[groans]

[eagle screeches]

Come!

[screams]

[Hange] What was that noise?

[man] What's going on?

[screams]

A Titan attacking a Titan?

[man 1] What's happening?

[man 2] Look at the regeneration speed!

They're gathering here.

[snarls]

[yells]

Is he on our side?

His fighting clearly demonstrates intelligence!

[yelling]

[yells] I've never seen this!

[roars]

Titan...

[Titans screaming]

[Rogue Titan roars]

[Titans whimpering]

[crowd whimpering]

[Hange] Mikasa, get back here!

Like hell he's on our side!

Eren?

Is it my fault?

[growling]

[gasps]

[roars]

-[grunts] -Mikasa!

You okay?

Can you stand?

[heavy thud]

Is he dead?

So, he's finally out of steam.

He'll evaporate! He's gonna evaporate!

Ow, it's steaming hot!

Cut open his nape, but don't injure the inside.

What? What are you talking about?

Just do it!

Hurry or he'll be absorbed into the Titan!

The cells will assimilate!

Huh?

[Eren yells]

[Armin] Is that Eren?

Eren...

[Hange] So that's why the Titans' weak spot is the nape.

[Eren] "Be careful when you fight the monsters,

lest you become one."
