0:00 you know how you leave your house every day and never think I sure hope I don't get eaten by a giant humanoid monster well after you watch today's recap you may start to second guess those thoughts that's right today we're covering Attack on Titan created by hajim isama Attack on Titan started as a manga series in September of 2009 and was so damn popular that it was adapted into an anime that ran from September 2013 to November 2023 which is what we'll be covering it follows the story of Aaron joer a young boy who's part of the last human civilization that's forced to live inside three walls why is that I hear you asking remember the monsters that I mentioned before yeah they're called Titans and there's a lot of them so can Aaron joerger and his friends take down

0:45 the Titans and free Humanity from this nightmare well you should strap in get a couple of snacks and relax because this is going to be a long one oh and remember don't get too attached to any of the characters there's going to be a lot of death here we go [Music] the show opens with a shot of terrified villagers and the Towering hand of a Titan on top of the wall the narrator lets us know that this right here was the moment that changed everything and we find out just how right they are earlier that same day the Scott regiment is out well attacking Titans aiming to build Humanity's first base Beyond the Wall suddenly they see a Titan without hesitating they use their omnidirectional Mobility gear or odm gear to swing off the trees and jump in

1:32 to attack them inside the walls our main character Aaron joerger who's just a kid wakes up from a dream and he's crying masassa akman his adopted sister asks him why he's crying but Aaron can't remember his dream I need you to write this down somewhere because it's going to be very important on their way home to the shagan district Aaron and masassa meet hanis a soldier who's an old family friend and a bunch of other solders too Aaron gets mad at them for day drinking saying they're not ready for if something bad happens but h tells him to take it easy saying there isn't a Titan big enough to scale the walls and there hasn't been an incident in the last 100 years but Aaron isn't satisfied he's tired of being stuck in the walls like a caged animal damn Aaron you got to chill out man he's just a kid tends to dream

2:18 bigger than life really wants him to on their way home Aaron tells masassa he wants to join the Scout regiment because he wants to see the world beyond the walls masassa is about to explain why that's a terrible idea but the Bells start ringing meaning the Scout regiment is back from a mission however it's far from a heroic return the town is shocked by how few of them came back a woman goes to look for her son but sees that only his arm was recovered she asks if his death was at least meaningful but the commander tells her that they accomplished nothing man this show is dark and we're just getting started bystanders start talking smack about the Scout regiment calling it a waste of tax money Aaron as you can imagine takes issue with this and pokes him with one of his sticks before he can get in trouble masassa drags him away and throws him against a wall asks game if he still wants to be a part of the Scout regiment Aaron just asked her to pick up

3:04 the wood with him back at home Aaron's dad Dr joer and his mom Carla are in the kitchen what was that for his dad says he has to go to the interior to see some patience and masassa immediately tells them about Aaron's plans to join the Scout regiment snitches get stitches masassa remember that Aaron's mom is furious but his dad says you can't discourage curiosity and tells Aaron he finally show him what's in his basement when he gets back when he leaves Carla starts arguing with Aaron about joining the Scout regiment again but he just yells at her and leaves she tells masassa to look after him and masassa nods Aaron runs until he sees his friend Armen arel being bullied by some kids he decides he's going to show them who boss and they start running away but it's not Aaron they're afraid of it's masassa who's just behind him Armen says they

3:50 were bullying him because he wants to see the world outside the walls just like Aaron and apparently that's like super taboo man people inside the walls suck Aaron then asked masassa why she ratted on him cuz that's just not cool Armen agrees with Aaron now he questions whether humanity is even safe inside the walls and wouldn't you know it as soon as he says that the ground starts shaking and the kids run to see what's going on and that brings us back to the opening scene of the episode with a massive Titan looking at them over the wall and everyone is shook the Titan isn't just there for sightseeing though it kicks a huge hole through the wall those closest are crushed and the rest of the shattered wall flies across the city obliterating houses and squashing people good God a whole bunch of disgusting Titans coming through the

4:35 hole and now the city is in total chaos Aaron and masso run home hoping their mom is safe but this is Attack on Titan there are no Happy Endings as they turn the corner there's a boulder where their home used to be and their mom is stuck underneath it Aaron and masassa try to pull her out but gets distracted by Titans that are walking by in the distance that has got to be terrifying Aaron's mom tells them it's pointless her legs are crushed so she can't even run if they manage to get her free she tells them to run but Aaron ignores it saying he'll carry her in tears Carla asks him why he never listens to her just then a Titan starts moving towards them luckily just then hanis arrives Carla begs him to take the kids and run but hanis refuses he's a soldier and he's going to kicks some Titan ass until he actually sees the Titan and gets

5:20 terrified he turns tail picks up the kids and runs away Carla thanks him but then puts her hand on her mouth and silently begs for them not to leave her alone don't leave me Aaron is forced to watch helplessly as the Titans pick up his mom and turns her into an afternoon snack her blood spilling everywhere and that is episode one episode 2 opens with crows eating the dead people in the shangan district and a religious man is preaching while people are being picked off and eaten like grapes until he becomes a Titan snack too back with our main characters Aon is giving hanis the business saying that if he had stayed longer they could have freed his mother but hanis gives it to Aaron straight up he left because he was too scared to face the Titan and honestly can you blame him meanwhile their buddy Armen is on a ship out of shagan and he's looking through the

6:07 crowd for his friends he finally spots them but the look on their faces stops him from calling out to them oh man soldiers are hard at work getting survivors through the gates debating whether they should close the gate or leave it open for more survivors when a Titan covered in armor starts running towards the gate they immediately shut it but it's no use because the Titan absolutely destroys the whole wall and breaks through Aaron watches in horror and realizes he's never going back home with fire in his eyes he vows to kill every last Titan and free humanity and so we begin while that's happening Aaron's dad is hurrying back home praying that his family is safe in a dream Aaron sees his dad injecting him with a mysterious syringe and giving him the key to his basement he's woken up by masassa and Armen and all three of them go to get food rations oh and Aaron has the key to his dad's basement around his

6:53 neck now well that's kind of weird the three of them go to receive their food rations when they overhear soldiers talking about the food shortage due to the refugees from wall Maria eat up the Titans like a little meat on their bones Humanity basically lives in these three walls wall Maria wall Rose and wall sin the richest live in wal CNA and the poorest in W Maria Aaron loses his mind and attacks them for saying that but Armen jumps in and apologizes saving Aaron from an ass kicking Aaron gets mad at Armen for being a wuss but masassa smacks Aaron in the face and says Armen is right all they can hope to do now is survive before stuffing his face with some bread the Royal government tries to fix the food shortage by having the refugees cultivate land but it's not enough the following year they have the bright idea of using the refugees to launch a

7:38 military campaign to retake W Maria it goes as well as you'd imagine 150 out of the 250 soldiers sent to die after this tragedy the three friends decide to apply for the military and a year later they're part of the newly formed 104th Cadet core one step closer to killing Titans episode 3 opens with Keith shottis the Commandment of the 104th Cadet Corp giving the new recruit the Full Metal Jacket experience and chewing them out well not all of them Annie leonhart masassa urman berold Hoover Aaron Jer and yamir are all spared because they're the survivors from W Maria they don't need it poor Armen still gets the business though he's just too nice as their commandment continues to go down the line he's chewing everyone out and has gone Full Metal Jacket mode when he sees Sasha brous

8:27 eating a stolen potato here sir have half have half so later Aaron Armen Marco boat Connor Springer and Mina Carolina watched Sasha do her punishment of running until she can't move anymore because duh Marco asks Aaron how he's so calm and he tells him he's from shingan everyone is shook they begin asking Aaron about the Colossal Titan the constant questioning reminds Aaron of that day and makes him sick so Marco asked everyone to back off but Aaron says it's fine he's going to use this motivation to join the Scout regiment and kill every last Titan but he's interrupted by John kirstein who mocks his decision to join the scouts Aaron also disapproves of Jon's goal to join the military police and hide in the interior walls and the two walk over to each other before Jon apologizes and Aaron does too that's a close call as

9:13 people begin to leave Jon sees masassa and basically falls in love with her he tries to start a conversation with her but only manages to compliment her hair man John is just like me you have really beautiful black hair she acknowledges that compliment and Jon follows her outside and sees her with Aaron which ruins his whole mood okay fine I'll cut it how short should I go do you Sasha finally falls to the ground and is probably on the verge of death when she smells food one of the cadets Christa lens has brought her bread Sasha basically worships Christa which another girl named yamir disapproves of Sasha gobbles up the bread and then passes out which is exactly what I'm going to do when I finish this recap the next day the cadets begin practicing with the odm gear which is again the flashy stuff the

9:58 soldiers use to face off against Titans Aaron fails miserably at it but masassa and Armen pass with flying colors Armen and masassa try coaching Aaron on how to use the odm gear but he fails miserably again masassa tries to get Aaron to quit being a soldier over dinner but he's having none of it and gets up and leaves mid conversation Aaron asks around for advice on how to use the odm gear properly but isn't getting anywhere so Aaron goes to Rainer Braun and bir told Hoover to get help they're reluctant to help at first but after they exchange Titan stories they go on a late night walk and give Aaron some tips and basically become friends which is super sweet the next day Aaron has one last chance at odm balancing he gets it at first and everyone cheers but then he falls again everyone is sad but then shotas tells him to switch with another guy and he balances perfectly the

10:44 equipment that Aaron was working with is faulty and he's actually really awesome at this turns out shis was an old friend of Aaron's dad he didn't want him to die as a soldier but in the end he had to give in Aaron's resolve episode 4 starts with a 2year Time skip yep just like that the cadets of the 104th core are running with weighted backpacks as part of their training Armen is lagging behind and shus is screaming his lungs out at him but Rainer takes his bag from him showing excellent teamwork later they're practicing hand toand combat and Aaron is annoyed because he thinks it's useless but Rainer explains that as soldiers they need to be prepared for anything and everything Rainer sees Annie slacking off and tells her to practice with Aaron she proceeds to kick his ass and then it's rainer's turn who also gets his ass kicked Aaron is amazed at her technique but she's uninterested

11:31 she says how ironic it is that the top 10 graduates aka the 10 best Titan Fighters are the only ones who get to join the military police and live within the walls saying she's not dying outside the walls at dinner Aaron insults Jon for wanting to join the military police and the two almost fight again masasa breaks up the fight and Jon is obviously jealous of Aaron so he grabs his shirt you piss me off what are you crazy but Aaron uses the same move Annie used on him to put Jon on his ass before saying he's not worthy of calling himself a Soldier Shish shows up and asks what the loud noise was and masassa saves both of them by saying Sasha farted now that is pure unadulterated comedy for the love of God learn some self-control the top 10 graduates those eligible to apply for the military

12:17 police are revealed Christa lens Sasha brous Connie Springer Marco boat John kirstein Aaron joerger Annie leonhart berold Hoover rer Brun and the best soldier of the class masassa Akerman as The Graduate celebr Thomas Wagner questions Aaron's decision to join the Scout regiment but Aaron says throwing away the sacrifice of those who died before him would be a disgrace Aaron storms out but Armen and makasa stop him saying they'll join the Scout regiment too Aaron tries to stop them bit of a hypocrite huh but Arman wants to help humanity and masassa will follow Aaron wherever he goes leaving through TR District a crowd of people are waiting for the main force of the Scout regiment to pass Commander Irwin Smith Captain Levy and section Commander Han Zoe remember those names they're going to be

13:03 very important meanwhile the young soldiers meet hanis who's been promoted to Captain and he congratulates them on graduating before apologizing for his failure to rescue Aaron's mother but I want you to know your mom's death still haunts me but Aaron tells him that it's not his fault which shocks Hest the graduates are working on the Cannons on the wall and they're all in very good spirits with some even convinced by aon's speech to join The Scouting regiment Aaron looks at the city happy that humanity is finally getting its dignity back until yellow lightning flashes behind him and The Colossal Titan suddenly appears what it blows all the graduates away but they recover and Aaron 5 years later after losing his mother is finally

13:48 face to face with the one that did it episode 5 opens with Aaron running at the Colossal Titan who attacks back and destroys the Cannons so this thing is smart too great Aaron jumps at it but it lets out a huge wave of steam that pushes him back when he tries to attack again his blades slice through the air the Colossal Titan has disappeared down take only what you need to survive file through as calmly as possible the soldiers begin attacking the Titans that are pouring through the hole in the wall doing their best to stop what happened 5 years ago from repeating meanwhile do pixus is playing chess with Lord Wald when a soldier tells him that the Colossal Titan has destroyed the gate at Tross District pixus leaves to join the fight even though Lord Wald practically begs him not to as will see soon this pixus guy not a big fan of the rules at

14:34 trust Worman divides the cadetes into two individual groups most of them are panicking because I mean who wouldn't Jon however is just annoyed he would have made military police literally the next day he bumps into Aaron who says they made it out of training and they'll make it out of this too they're friends now which is pretty wholesome as JN leaves masassa tells Aaron to look for her if he's in trouble she's such a boss but they're interrupted by Ian Dietrich who tells masassa she's been assigned to the rear Squad masassa tries to AR argue but Aaron snaps at her saying that nobody cares about what she wants mankind is at stake as they're about to part masassa asks Aaron not to die yeah about that whatever happens don't get yourself killed Aaron and Armen are standing by waiting for orders as he gets flashbacks of learning about Titans how they literally eat human beings for

15:21 fun and how the only way to beat them is to cut their napes which is basically the back of their neck Aaron is excited doing well here could mean a promotion in the scouts however their enthusiasm turns to horror very quick when a Titan eats Thomas Furious Aaron rushes to kill that Titan but gets his leg bitten off by another Titan midair falling hard more Titans appear killing them one after another to the horror of Armen who can't even move a Titan picks him up he can't even fight back and he's about to get eaten until Aaron jumps in and pulls him out using his blade to keep the Titan's mouth open Aaron tells Armen they're going to visit the world outside the walls just like they talked about Armen tries to save him but the Titan bites down cutting his

16:07 left arm off and swallowing him leaving Armen screaming well there goes our main character what now episode 6 starts with Connie snapping Armen out of a PTSD Haze Connie asks him where the rest of his team is but yir says it's obvious they're dead and his cowardly ass is the only one that survived ouch Connie's about to start fighting her but Christa breaks it up at this point Arman realizes he's basically dead weight that Aaron and masassa probably think that about him too so he's like yeah I'm just going to leave before I cause anyone else more problems he sees a classmate trying to resuscitate her boyfriend instead of helping just says he's dead at the base of wall Rose evacuating people are stopped by a merchant in his big ass C of goods he's being a real tool about it too saying none of their lives are worth the amount of money the goods are worth just then a little girl

16:52 notices a Titan making a beine for them until masassa takes it down she then goes to the merchant and threatens to kill him if he doesn't move his cart which he then obviously does the little girl and her mother thank masassa and she salutes back before she has a flashback about her own mother masassa lived a happy life with her parents I don't understand how can I have children uh honey why don't you explain until Dr joer and Aaron came to visit and found both parents dead and masassa missing his dad goes to call the authorities and ask Aaron to stay there but this is Aaron so he tracks down massa's kidnappers and manages to kill two of them by pretending to be a Lost Child only one problem with that there were three kidnappers and the third one Gra grabs Aaron from behind and is about to strangle him to death but masassa locks in and literally kills the third guy in Cold Blood when the police show up

17:38 they're horrified and question whether kids could even do something like this Dr Jer scolds Aaron for doing something so reckless but he says he wanted to save masassa masassa is helpless homeless and alone and she doesn't know what she's going to do now there's really nowhere else for me to go so Aaron gives her his scarf the same one she wears every day and tells her she can live with them the flashback ends is the soldiers can finally retreat but masassa stays back to help the Vanguard she remembers that she is a family and that with Aaron she can do anything yeah who's going to tell her episode 7 starts with masassa arriving to see the HQ building under attack by the Titans it's hq's job to keep supplying fuel for the odm gear so everyone's running low on odm gas so how is everyone inside HQ holding

18:25 up okay never mind outside Connie tries to John to go to HQ it's better than staying here Zasha even offers to lead them but everyone else is way too traumatized to follow well everyone except Annie Riner berold and Marco masassa shows up and asks about Aaron which sends Armen into a frenzy masassa takes one look at him and realizes what happened before telling him to pull himself together they can't afford to be emotional at a time like this she gets up and tells everyone she's going to HQ they say it's a suicide mission but she just calls them cowards who give up easy that is Harsh especially if you're a soldier she leaves and Her speech motivates JN who rallies the rest of them in one of the coolest scenes ever masassa leads the way killing

19:11 Titans as she goes but Armen realizes she's using too much gas she's taking her sadness out on the titans this doesn't last long as she runs out of gas and falls out of the sky Connie goes to help her and ask Jon to take Point meanwhile masassa finally realizes she's lost her family again and Falls to her knees as a Titan approaches her masassa thinks about her life and decides even though the world is cruel she had a good life with Aaron she accepts her fate and is about to be eaten by the Titan when she suddenly Cuts its finger off and jumps out of the way realizing she doesn't want to die that Aaron told her to keep fighting no matter what as her exit route is blocked by a second Titan she decides if she goes down she goes down fighting and she lets out a scream but then she's saved by the second Titan masassa is shocked by this and can't even move she's saved by Armen never

19:57 thought I'd say that and Connie asked them if they're okay just then they get front row seats to this new Titan that apparently hates his own kind as it takes a human fighting stance and then punches another Titan's head off about a 100 km away before moving on to find more Titans to kill Armen gives masassa his gas canisters and they all decide to move towards HQ so they can replenish their supply of gas and fight back against the Titans while planning to kill himself but masassa refuses to leave him behind and tells him they're going to survive this together episode 8 starts where episode 7 left off Armen comes up with a plan to lure their new anti-titan to HQ so he can kill as many Titans as possible and clear a path for them to get there most of them make it to the building and crash in through the window you guys with the supply team Jon sees members of the supply

20:42 Squad and goes apit on them for abandoning everyone outside and just then Titans start breaking through the windows and going after the cadetes they Evacuate the HQ interior but seeing the Titans break Jon's Spirit he wonders if humans can ever really beat these monsters at that exact moment Jon sees a massive fist it's the anti-titan punching the actual Titans attacking HQ masassa Connie and Armen successfully make it to the HQ masassa explains that you can use this Titan to fight back against the rest as we cut to scenes of it just kicking an Unholy amount of ass using that as a distraction the cadets use the lift to make it down to the supply room there Armen comes up with a plan on how to take out the seven or so smaller Titans he may be a coward but he's always got a plan worst comes to worst you can always just shove one of

21:29 these up their ass everyone takes positions and they go for it the weaker ones use their guns to distract the Titans while the strong ones attack their napes from behind the execution isn't perfect but it ends up working the rest of the cadets refuel and are about to head back to the wall but masassa is watching the anti-titan it's been pinned down by the other Titans who are eating him now a yikes JN says that they should leave him behind but Rainer and Annie argue that it could be an ally while they argue it takes care of the last Titans before letting out a Roar and collapsing everyone thinks it's dead until a figure emerges from the Titan nape and that figure is Aaron what do you really think they we're going to kill the main character like that fool you masassa just hugs him and cries while the rest of the cadetes are absolutely shook episode 9 opens with a

22:15 flashback to earlier that morning with a scouting regiment leaving for a mission we are introduced to our core characters Commander Irwin a headstrong calm and composed leader section Commander Hani Joy an extremely intelligent woman whose curiosity for Titans and general Behavior borders on insanity and Captain Levy a strong and Silent badass who's also a clean freak we're shown just how dangerous Titans are as even the best soldiers have a 30% casualty rate what we also see is just how much of a badass Levy is as he kills three Titans like it's nothing before consoling a dying comrade your strength won't die with you the torch will be carried on just then Commander Irwin tells them that all Titans are moving North they immediately realize something must be wrong back the wall and they race back we're then shown Aaron's perspective of being eaten by

23:02 the Titan he wakes up in The Titan's stomach and sees the remains of his comrades that were eaten too good God that is traumatizing he thinks about how he ended up there despite all of his training and points his dismembered hand towards the Titan's throat swearing he'll kill every last one of them and that's when the Titan's mouth explodes with a massive hand Aaron can become a Titan now Aaron wakes up but he's just saying one thing I'll kill them all we pan to Armen horrified at this which is lowkey hilarious and then we're shown a bunch of Garrison soldiers who are basically scared for their lives everyone knows Aaron just came out of that Titan well everyone except Aaron who doesn't remember the captain lays it out Simply if Aaron makes a move or says something

23:48 fishy he's getting blasted by a cannon oh and masassa and Armen are probably getting charged with treason and they say people from the military are too harsh I think they're swell he then ask Aaron a simple question is he a human or or a Titan Aaron doesn't understand so the captain explains how multiple people saw him come out of a Titan he threatens to kill him and masassa threatens him back Aaron says he's a human but the captain's having none of it and shoots the cannon at them as they're about to get blown to smithin Aaron remembers his dad's words and how their memories would show him what to do sorry I wish there was more time to explain all this he instinctively bites down on his hand and partially transforms into a Titan stopping the blast from the cannon and saving his friends oh boy episode 10 opens with the scene inside the walls

24:35 things are getting tense Daz freaks out about his friends getting eaten by Titans and nearly kills himself from the trauma but Marco stops him because that's what friends are for meanwhile Sasha's got a stomach ache because of course she does and John Christa and yir are trying to figure out where Aaron and masassa are without causing a panic suddenly a cannon fires inside wall Rose making everyone rush to see what happened protected by Aaron's half formed Titan masassa and Armen watch as Aaron waks up and gets out of the Titan form Aaron's got a plan to use his Titan powers to get back to his house in wal Maria thinking that the basement has all the answers but after an argument with masassa He suggests another plan where Armen convinces The Garrison regiment that Aaron can actually be an asset to humanity so like please please don't blow him to Smither unfortunately for

25:20 them Captain Warman is in no mood to listen and intends on getting rid of them I think we could at least do these young soldiers the favor of hearing them out but that's when Commander Dot pixus intervenes he's interested in using Aaron's abilities and doesn't want to blow up Humanity's potential hope against Titans Yep this guy seems pretty smart pixus has a plan to steal the breach in the wall with a giant boulder Aaron has doubts about controlling his Titan form because he's used it like twice one and a half times really but after realizing the stakes he agrees to use his Titan form to help Here We Go episode 11 starts on top of the wall pixus explains the plan to Aaron and Armen Aaron is way more enthusiastic than Armen who thinks the plan is too optimistic real ball of sunshine this guy but Aaron says pixus knows what he's talking about which has a lot of faith

26:06 to put in someone you just met meanwhile the soldiers hearing the plane to retake trust are pretty discouraged and I don't blame them Daz freaks out again things are looking pretty bleak back at the wall pixus tells Aaron about a legend in it Humanity stopped fighting amongst themselves when a common enemy appeared Aaron says that's a bunch of BS and pixus laughs and agrees they keep walking and even see hanas and his groups along the way well I'll be damned pixus takes out his container and takes a swig get used to that and he offers Aaron a sip as well pixus and Aaron stand at top the wall and address the soldiers pixus tells them that they have a plan to retake trost and plug up the wall using Aaron who he explains as a science experiment that can transform into a

26:51 Titan and control it that's a lie but whatever Arman explains the plan since Titans go wherever there are the most humans a bunch of soldiers will go to a corner of the wall and lure them there where they will be bombarded by cannons from a top the wall this will open up space for Aaron's Titan which will be accompanied by a group of elite soldiers that will protect him while he uses the massive Boulder to plug up the wall the soldiers react pretty much how you would expect if you were asked to March into certain death they're pissed a lot of them say that they'd rather spend their last days with their families Captain Warman says that he will have everyone who leaves killed but pixus says he'll pardon everyone that leaves however he says that by leaving they're increasing the chances of their families having to face the same fear which convinces the soldiers to stay pixus then explains that the mission to retake W Maria four years ago was actually just the

27:37 government reducing the population to ensure Humanity's survival damn he says they got off lucky last time only 20% of the population had to die but if wall Rose gets breached they only have Wall CNA left and that means only 50% of humans would survive which is why they have to succeed pixus orders Ian Dietrich Rico bensa and matabi jarak to guard Aaron while he treding to plug the hole they're a few about the plan but pixus convinces them to lock in before putting Ian in charge meanwhile Armen is apologizing to Aaron because what else would he be doing but Aaron assures him he believes in him that he's super smart and stuff then as masassa turned to whine because she says she wants to be part of the team guarding him Aaron tells her she can't do that because she's part of the decoy team but Ian orders her to join them before they leave Aaron and Armen tell each other

28:23 not to die which is the core of any great friendship Commander pixus tells the soldiers in the crowd that this would literally be human I's first ever victory over the Titans sounds like humanity is a bit of a skill issue to me anyway Aaron and his group make it to the boulder there he bites his hand and transforms into his Titan form have ever taken which I have to say is really cool seeing him walking toward the stone masassa believes Aaron will save everyone but this is Attack on Titan things always go horribly wrong and Aaron takes one look at the boulder before attacking masassa instead turns out he can't control his tipan great that's just what he needed episode 12 starts with the plan to lure Titans to the corner of trust continuing even though soldiers try to avoid combat a fifth of them end up dying deaths which

29:10 pixus says are solely on his hands man I'd go to war for this guy meanwhile masassa is dodging ain's punches while the elite team discusses whether they should just abandon Aaron masassa jumps on his face trying to convince him but he just punches his own face great plan guys seeing a red flare Armen decides to head over to Aaron the soldier tells pixus to abandon the whole Aon plan but pixes trust the elite team so matabi from the elite team decides to retreat great masassa is mad at him but Ian tells them to focus they're being surrounded by Titans the elite team is still arguing about retreating but decide to follow the plan we are not leaving jger defenseless period masassa thanks Ian but he just ask her to protect her lover which makes her blush masassa sees Aaron's wounds which are not healing themselves anymore which makes her Panic meanwhile Aaron is

29:57 half-conscious getting visions of masassa and his family yeah they might be cooked Armen arrives just in time to see Aaron's Titan injured while that's happening John Connie and Annie head out to lure Titans to the corner of the wall back with the elite team masassa saves matabi from a Titan but they're shook when they see more Titans coming turns out Aaron is luring all the Titans in oh come on Armen reaches and asks her what's up and she tells him everything Armen stabs Aaron's nape trying to wake him up and the blade goes through his arm Aaron is still half conscious and can't hear what arm is trying to say to him you're not making any sense Armen meanwhile masassa and the elite team fight off the Titans approaching them back with the others Connie and Annie managed to make it to the wall but Jean's odium gear breaks oh man he hides

30:42 in a house to get away from the Titans but he spots a Dead Soldier that still has his odm gear meanwhile Armen finally gets through to Aaron and he awakens with a fury all right let's go episode 13 keeps the pace going the elite soldiers continue to defend Aaron Rico's Squad is completely wiped out in the battle leaving only her and one female Soldier alive they're forced to retreat to the boulders location where they see more Titans heading their way meanwhile Jon is trying to take the gear from the dead soldier but gets approached by a Titan thankfully Annie Connie and Marco jump in to distract the Titan and Jon manages to get his odm gear working and they all manage to escape suddenly the ground starts shaking and they turn around to see Aaron he's carrying the Boulder and moving towards the wall the elite team and masassa all watch this in Surprise Armen shows up and tells them Aaron's back and they need to make sure

31:28 he makes it to the war wall all of the elite team including mataba band together to make sure Aaron makes it and even Annie Connie and JN come down from the wall to help out finally defend him to the last man if that's what it comes to Aaron keeps walking towards the hole as the soldiers distract Titans to defend him a lot of the soldiers end up losing their lives in the struggle including mataba throughout the entire show Aaron keeps moving towards the wall soldiers keep dying and getting eaten and masan Armen seean sacrifice himself to save the life of one of his comrades Rico flies in to cut a Titan's eye and masassa finishes it off finally with Armen screaming in encouragement Aaron blocks the breach and wall rows With Tears In Her Eyes Rico says her comrades didn't die in vain and shoots a yellow signal flare to show they succeeded

32:14 seeing this pixus immediately sends reinforcements to rescue the elite team Rico says they have to make it back to the wall but masassa goes to help Aaron get out of the Titan Rico follows and cuts him out but they're suddenly ambushed by two Titans however they're immediately killed by a soldier wearing the Wings of Freedom it's captain Levy who asked them what the situation is the Garrison and Scout regiment begin killing Titans and trost is free of Titans after a whole day of fighting they even managed to capture two Titans however there were a lot of casualties such as the price of war in the aftermath of the battle Jon is going through the dead bodies but to his and my horror he sees Marco's body he died in the struggle too like I said at the start don't get too attached to anybody afterwards Aaron wakes up in the underground military jail and is questioned by irn Smith and Levy akaran now that I think of it isn't masassa and

33:01 acrian to H it's weird anyway they ask him what his intentions are and ask him about the basement and the key Aaron tells them everything he knows and he says he wants to join the Scout regiment and kill every last Titan Levy agrees but not because he trusts Aaron so he can kill him if he betrays them yikes good news jger you're now officially a member of the scouts episode 14 starts with Aaron still imprisoned and the news of a Titan siding with humans spreading like wildfire the people inside wall CNA are just worried about having to take in refugees and absolutely hate the rumors while the people of wall Rose love Aaron and think of him as their savior meanwhile the commander of the military police Nile doc says they need to eliminate Aaron they cannot allow the deviants from the Scout regiment to have him he and the rest of the soldiers then salute the head of the three military branches doas Zachary who arrives at the

33:48 location of the trial oh um did I mention they're going to have a trial to decide whether Aaron lives or not yeah this this show gets pretty political on top of the wall win Smith and do pixus discuss the situation pixus is will have a final say in the matter explaining that he considers Things based on whether they are good or bad for Humanity Irwin says that he doesn't think they can win this trial but he's ready to make a proposal which will depend on how things go back in the jail Hani Zoey and mik zakarius don't mind him he makes a habit of giving new people a thorough sniff get Aaron out of his cell and lead him to his trial and Hani wishes him good luck and suddenly Aaron finds himself inside of a military courtroom Zachary tells Aaron he's running the trial to to decide his future he explains that hiding aon's existence isn't working anymore so they

34:33 have to go public to prevent internal conflict Nile doc from the military police wants Aaron executed immediately because of course he does damn coward as Nile presses Aaron for info Pastor Nick jumps in saying they should kill Aaron right now geez Irwin then steps in saying he wants Aaron to join the Scout regiment to help reclaim wall Maria he plans to take a different route since the main entrance to trost is sealed a merchant suggests sealing all gates to block the loil Titan but Levy questions if the Titans will just wait around during the ceiling pointing out that the merchants are just worried about their profit Pastor Nick gets upset again but Arman points out that it's attitudes like Nicks that delayed mounting weapons on the walls as Nick and the merchants argue Zachary calms everyone down and asks Aaron if he still wants to be a soldier for Humanity who says yes Zachary then brings up the fact that

35:19 Aaron lost control and attacked masassa after transforming in trost masassa hesitates but she confirms it though she adds that Aaron also saved her twice in his Titan form Nile then brings up Aaron maa's past where they killed Three Robbers as kids stirring up more controversy in the room people start questioning maa's humanity and Aaron defend her accusing the court of twisting facts he challenges them saying that if they're too scared to fight they should at least let him do it suddenly Nile orders a soldier to aim at Aaron but Levy intervenes kicking the out of Aaron to prove a point even knocking out a tooth which pisses masassa off Levy argues that he's the only one who can handle Aaron if he transforms Irwin then suggests taking Aaron on a mission to prove whether he's a threat or an ally which Zachary agrees to he made it out alive after the trial irn apologizes explaining the beating was part of their

36:06 strategy to influence the trial's outcome you have my utmost respect Levy sitting by Aaron asks if Aaron hates him for the beating but Aaron understands it was necessary hanji thinks Levy went too far since Aaron's tooth was knocked out but they're all shocked when they see that the tooth has already grown back Aaron becomes an official member of the Scout regiment and heads to their old headquarters in abandon an old castle Levy's Elite Squad all have the same task kill Aaron if he ever loses control isn't it lovely being surrounded by people who are just waiting to kill you when they get there the place is a mess Levy orders a thorough cleaning Aaron finds out that he's sleeping in the basement again a rule set by the higher ups Aaron is surprised by how much Levy is strict about the rules Oh Aaron try not to look so

36:51 discouraged and Petra tells him about Levy's past as a thug and his transformation after joining the scouts under Anin Smith's guidance I knew he was a delinquent meanwhile mik and Irwin discussed the urgency of proving Aaron's worth our custody of Aaron is conditional on the results of this Mission Irwin impressed by mik's intuition promises to fill him in on the details later the squad including new recruits prepare for an operation they only know what the reports say but hope Aaron will be their trump card Hani then pulls Aaron aside for an experiment involving two captured Titans she is named Sonni and bean despite the disturbing nature of the tests hanji is oddly cheerful explaining their shift in perspective after realizing the mystery behind the Titans lovely weather don't you think are you hungry yeah I'm just telling you guys

37:40 now Hani loves Titans it's really weird but just go with it Aaron is intrigued and spends the whole night learning about their experiments unfortunately he ends up with more questions than answers the next day they wake up to see captured Titans have been killed the squad is stunned and they realiz someone snuck in killed them and then used their gear to escape leevy decides that it's time to leave the military police will handle this investigation Irwin cryptically asks Aaron about what he sees and who the enemy might be please remember this this will be very important later on episode 16 opens with the soldiers being investigated for an unauthorized use of odm gear a soldier is shocked that someone could be punished for killing Titans but another says these Titans were really important for scientific study saying their loss is a hit to humanity Connie asked Annie what she thinks but she encouraged him to think for herself she then

38:26 acknowledges armen's courage which is really out of character for her and Armen compliments her on her kindness that's kind of cute at Scout regimen HQ ELD and Gunter wonder about whether new recruits will want to join the scouts they ask Aaron about potential new members but he doesn't have anyone in mind Levy joins them and they set out on patrol meanwhile John Connie Armen and Sasha discuss their future weighing their choices as they're lined up by a soldier Irwin Smith then addresses the group outlining the Grim reality of Scout regiment life including a high casualty rate over recent years they're basic ically the death Patrol whoever still wishes to put their life on the line and join us remain here he introduces the mission to explore the basement in Aaron's old house most of the recruits leave but John Sasha cone

39:11 masassa Armen rer berold yamir and Christa decide to stay saluting Irwin yep we've got our main cast the new recruits begin training focusing on mastering Irwin's long-range scouting formation later as Aaron finishes chores he reunites with masassa and Arman masassa is still mad about Levy kicking him and says that she will take Revenge that pipsqueak took things way too far Aaron is shocked to see Jon join the scouts and is even more shocked to hear that Marcos is dead Aaron discusses his Titan abilities with masassa and Jon admitting he lost control and attacked masassa though she tries to downplay it she is very in love with him as preparations are completed the Bell signals the start of the 57th Expedition with Irwin leading the soldiers out of the wall and so we begin episode 17 kicks off with the Scout regiment's Expedition beyond the walls soon into

39:58 the journey mik zakari picks up on a Titan nearby but they let the support Squad handle it to keep the main group safe Sasha watching the action is pretty spooked but her leader reminds her to stay focused and leave it to the support Squad as they travel Aaron remembers Gunther explaining that the support Squad can only back them up until they reach an Old Town beyond that they'll rely on Inn's long-distance enemy scouting formation inin wonders if the new recruits can handle Titan encounters but aruo tells him the plan's really about avoiding Titans altogether after leaving the Old Town Irwin gets everyone into formation Armen JN and Riner split up and head out on their own do us a favor and if you run into one of them don't piss yourself yeah Armen tries to stay calm but he's jumpy at every noise when he spots a red flare signaling a Titan he relays it to keep everyone informed this system helps them navigate

40:45 with minimal Titan contact Irwin had warned everyone that Titans could sometimes sneak up on them due to the terrain or other obstacles sure enough as they pass through a village Sasha runs into a crawling Titan she panics struggling with her flare gun but her team leader and another Squad member distract the Titan and Lead it into a tree meanwhile Armen is wondering why there aren't any flares and right on Q a black flare shoots up signaling an abnormal Titan he fires his own flare as the abnormal charges the formation's right flank nearby soldiers nest and Cy manage to take it down with slick teamwork but then another abnormal Titan appears they try to take it down but it kills both soldiers effortlessly Armen horrified realizes this Titan is different is showing signs of intelligence possibly another human who can transformed into a Titan like Aaron

41:31 wait what as this Titan which Armen calls the female Titan confronts Armen it does something shocking it checks his face and then leaves him unharmed Armen is left stunned wondering why it spared him you and me both dude what is happening right now it turns out this female Titan led a group of Titans that wiped out most of the scouts on the right flank could she have leted the Titans here like a commander who her Armen Rainer and Jon regroup piecing together that this Titan is looking for Aaron and has caused massive casualty they speculate about Aaron's real location and figure out he's at the rear of the formation and decide they need to stall the fale Titan to buy time for a retreat JN tries to slow it down by targeting its tendon but the female Titan Dodges and nearly captures him it only hesitates when Armen shouts that it killed Aaron giving JN a chance to escape Riner then attempts a direct

42:17 attack and although it initially looks like the Titan crushes him he manages to escape by cutting through its hand they all breathe the sigh of relief as the female Titan takes off but then realize it's moving towards the rear of the formation where they suspect Aaron is episode 18 opens with Rainer asking Armen about his odm gear while tending to his wounds after their intense encounter with the female Titan rer Armen and Jon find themselves with just one horse Jon tries to call his own horse while they grapple with the tough decision of who they might have to stay behind honestly I'd pass out from the pressure but just then Christa shows up bringing two horses including Jon's what an absolute hero what would we do without you they rejoined in the formation which continues on a different course instead of retreating because the scouts always

43:03 have something up their sleeves so they fire a green signal flare to proceed meanwhile Levy and his Squad get the update that the right side of the formation has been straight up annihilated they press on but soon the report of an abnormal Titan comes in at another location a group of soldiers confront the female Titan Darius bear walbrun tries to coordinate an attack but she just kills his team der is trying tries to escape and warn the others but he ends up dying too rest in peace Soldier as the formation shifts East they reach a forest of giant trees Orwin decides only the center Squad should enter while the rest of the scouts like Sasha and Jon are tasked with holding off any of their Titans at the edge of the forest inside the forest Aaron is pretty ay about the tactic but Levy says there's a reason for it the

43:49 trees help them use their gear during the chaos they spot the female Titan again Levy Squad prepared for battle Petra asks for orders and Oro wants to take the fight to the Titan as they get ready Levy is quiet until the absolute last second before telling everyone to cover their ears and shooting a sound flare they're about to fight back here we go in episode 19 the scouts main job is simple protect Aaron even if it kills you this Revelation hits Aaron like a truck he thought they were just keeping tabs on him despite his objections and seeing more soldiers just ride into their death Levy says they need to keep moving Aaron who always struggles with following orders and seeing people eye almost transforms into his Titan form before Petra catches him she reminds him he swore to only transform when it was

44:35 absolutely necessary Levy gives Aron a choice trust his Squad and keep moving or follow his instincts and fight he tells Aaron to make the choice he'll regret the least in the end you choose what you choose because he'll regret it either way the story then flashes back to a test with hanji and Levy where Aaron despite trying again and again can't transform into his Titan form this scares them since Aaron turning into a Titan is kind of the whole point but then during lunch Aaron accidentally transforms when reaching for a teaspoon the scouts don't know this and pull out their blades in fear ready to attack him Levy calms them down and hanji sees that the teaspoon is totally safe in The Titan's hand turns out Aaron needs a clear goal to transform just chopping his hand isn't enough after this incident the squad realizes how hard they've been on Aaron and everyone bites their own hand in solidarity and

45:22 apologizes to Aaron damn kid I'm impressed you can sink your teeth in that deep without shrieking back in the present as they continue to run Aon decides to trust his Squad just as the female Titan nearly catches them they reach their goal a trap that was set up with the exact purpose of catching a Titan and using a bunch of grappling hooks they do just that the plan is a success Levy reunites with Irwin acknowledging the sacrifices made to lure the Titan into their trap they're ready to find out who the hell is controlling the Titan and hope to get some answers after capturing the female Titan everyone's excited but also on edge thinking about what's next Aaron is curious about who it is but aruo and Petra remind him to stay focused on the meanwhile Levy is ready to strike but irn makes sure the female Titan is completely trapped by firing more wires to secure it outside the forest Christa

46:07 naaba and others make sure no Titans breach their perimeter Sasha and masassa hear distant sounds possibly cannons and wonder what the hell is happening inside the forest inside the forest Scouts start asking why no one told them about the plan Aaron's comments about trust annoy Petra and aruo enough of this Petra knock the teeth out of his skull but El agrees with Aaron the reason herin didn't tell anyone is because he probably thinks there's a spy among them back at the female Titan hanji uses its own regenerative abilities against it trying to make sure it goes nowhere Levy and mik try to penetrate its hardened skin which is a lot like the Armored Titan getting impatient or when orders to use the explosives to break through the Titan's defense lvy standing on the Titan tells the person inside to give up in response the female Titan screams turns out that wasn't a scream of

46:53 frustration she's actually invited all nearby Titans to come and eat her Irwin tries to fight back against them but tells everyone to retreat when he sees there are just too many of them that whole sung and dance in the courtroom and this is what we've got to show for it as they Retreat Orwin tells Levy to restock his supplies and Hani questions that decision but irn says he thinks whoever was in the female Titan didn't just commit suicide they probably Escape during the whole Ruckus disguised as a scout The Retreat signal goes up and the soldiers are relieved they'll finally get to see who's inside the female Titan but this is Attack on Titan nothing is as it seems they realize whoever sent the signal wasn't ly Gunther spots someone approaching and goes to check only to be killed mercilessly oh man here we go again how do you far it out

47:38 the enemy when they're one of your own episode 21 opens with Irwin and Hani debating how the female Titan escaped and agree that whoever it was did the same thing the Colossal Titan does using smoke to disappear hanji says that transforming exhausted Aaron and busted his gear too but Inn says it's too risky to assume all Titan Shifters are beginners like Aaron man if I was Aon I wouldn't dig that disrespect Aaron and his Squad Now find themselves running away from the female Titans user Irwin says that the only reason she'd be chasing them is if she had enough strength to transform again unfortunately he's right and she transforms again Aaron has to trust his Squad again and Retreat despite wanting to fight ELD Petra and aruo all fearlessly face her but it's useless the female Titan kills all three of them [Applause]

48:24 Petra this is the last draw for Aaron who immediately transforms he's going to fight the female Titan himself Levy and masassa hear his Titan scream and Rush toward him as they start fighting Aaron is kicking her ass however her hardening and fighting skills are just too much for Aaron in an absolutely generational moment she decapitate Aaron's Titan before pulling his human body out of it masassa arrives just in time to see Aaron being swallowed if I saw my crush get swallowed by a giant human a monster I'd Al F4 myself she loses her mind and attacks the female Titan but is useless her hardening makes sure of that Levy pulls masassa back telling her to keep her distance and reassess the situation though masassa is furious she's still cleaning to hope that Aaron might still be alive inside the female Titan you and

49:10 me both episode 22 starts with masassa and Levy trying to rescue Aaron from the female Titan even though Levy thinks it's pointless because she can Harden her skin still their plan is simple masassa will distract her while Levy tries to rescue Aaron and even for the female Titan two aans is a lot to handle Levy continues his assault targeting the Titan's nape but masassa driven by her emotions tries to kill the Titan against Levy's orders this goes as well as you'd imagine Levy has to jump in and save her and he injures his ankle in the process still it's enough they've rescued Aaron but as they escape Levy sees something that shocks him the female Titan is crying what as they regroup Ley gives deer a Scout regiment emblem to remember his friend's bravery which destroys deer and brings him and me to tears as they make their way back to the walls Aaron finally wakes up and asks masassa what

49:58 happened this guy passes out a lot Irwin facing public outrage prepares for a summons to the capital while Aaron is told he's going to be handed over to the government honestly who would ever want to live a life this bleake I'm Petra's father sir might I bend your ear before she sees us episode 23 opens with Annie she has a dream about her father training her before she wakes up in her room inside wal CNA she joined the military police so she gets to live inside the innermost wall over in the stohos district the rest of the lazy and corrupt military police including an's colleagues hitch and Marlo are supposed to escort a Scout regiment Convoy Marlo who's disgusted by the corruption and joined the MP to make changes catches their bosses selling equipment on the black market he tries to stop them and promptly gets his ass handed to him but Annie and hitch step in to help him out after the Convoy enters the city Armen

50:45 suddenly pulls Annie aside in an alley to ask for her help to smuggle Aaron out of the capital Jean is pretending to be Aaron in the Convoy and they need her help to get him out of there Annie's hesitant but she agrees slipping on a mysterious ring before they head off I I don't like this what the hell is going on they reach an underground tunnel and Armen goes in but Annie refuses Arman is acting weird and there are no civilians around she senses a setup but why are they setting her up Armen then confronts Annie accusing her of being the female Titan what his reasoning is simple she had Marco's gear after the Titan Sonny and bean were killed he admits he couldn't bring himself to stop her before because he didn't want to believe it the situation escalates when Aaron and masassa show up and when they try to get her to prove her innocence by following them underground she just starts laughing like a maniac and admits

51:32 to being the female Titan oh the Betrayal I'm going to gamble too and here's my way to things heat up as Annie tries to transform Armen fires a signal flare and the hidden Scouts rush to stop her they try to hold her down and keep her from biting herself to transform unfortunately that ring wasn't just for looking pretty it had a blade inside of it which she uses to cut herself as she transforms masassa quickly drags Aaron and arm into safety underground the whole district is then left watching as a massive explosion of light and dust erupts from Annie's transformation as Aaron sees Annie transform he remembers a talk he had with Levy and Irwin wiwin says that they've got one last shot to NAB the female Titan and shocker it's Annie Flash Forward and it's go time in the tunnels beneath stoas Annie now in full Titan Mode is hot on Aaron masassa

52:18 and arman's heels Aaron's trying to transform into his Titan form to fight back but he's struggling he's still in shock that Annie's the enemy or maybe he's got mixed feelings about fighting her either way masassa and Armen decide they need to distract Annie to get Aaron in opening just when things seem dire with Aaron trapped under debris Jean ditches his disguise and jumps into the mix meanwhile Irwin and Levy find themselves cornered by the military police accused of being traitors chaos ensues with Annie throwing Rubble everywhere burying Aaron even deeper Armen tries to taunt Annie buying time for Jon to sneak in attack which nearly works until Annie Shields herself the battle moves across the city with Hani and moblit joining from above trying to trap Annie with a net and a special weapon oh and calling

53:05 your cohorts to dinner isn't an option despite their efforts Annie breaks free leading to another Chase back with Aaron crushed and brooding under Rubble he recalls armen's words about sacrifice and change spurring a fiery resolve to defeat Annie ignoring his injuries Aaron finally transforms causing a huge commotion now in full Titan Mode he catches Annie off guard with a massive punch and goes on a full on rampage against her in the final episode of season 1 chaos erupts during a church ceremony as Annie in Titan form crashes the party killing a lot of people while civilians freak out Aaron is hot on her heels determined but controlled hanji and the crew are worried about Annie being headed to an open area where their gear won't work so they hustle to cut her off the most terrifying enemy is one that knows you inside and out the battle

53:51 between Aaron and Annie gets intense but according to Hani it's all part of Irwin's master plan meanwhile hitch and Marlo can't believe what what they're seeing Nile doc hearing about the destruction blames Irwin and even calls him a traitor but Irwin cooly hands over command getting handcuffed instead place this man under arrest sir as the fight rages on Armen and Jon work to distract Annie Aaron fueled by Rage of betrayal by someone he considered a friend and a comrade gets a few good hits in unfortunately Annie is the better fighter and she almost bashes his head in before getting flashbacks of her dad with Aaron not moving she tries to escape by climbing the wall but Aaron isn't giving up and jumps on her from behind she manages to push him off and continues climbing just when she thinks she's home free masassa swoops in chopping off her fingers and forcing her
