Everyone keeps saying Eren has changed.
And I thought he had, too.
But...
I wonder if we've all got it wrong.
It could be that he's always
been like this inside.
But if this is the real Eren Jaeger...
...what did I see in him that made me keep him so close?
Can you believe there are really
enough people outside the walls to fill up such a gigantic city?
Try not to talk about the walls
in front of the general public, Conny.
Ah, right. Sorry about that.
This is the world beyond the walls.
We're finally here, outside the walls
we've known our whole lives.
The walls no one has ever escaped!
Gah, would you listen to me for once?
If you think about it, this is sort of
a return to the Scouts' original mission.
Let the survey begin.

Ahh.
My friends!
I'd like to welcome you to the continent of Marley!
The Azumabito have been waiting. May I escort you?
Hey, Onyankopon!
It's so good to see you all here!
So, what does everyone think about
the biggest port in the country?
What's with that horse?
Or, wait. Is that... What was that?
Nah. No horse ever looked like that.
I think it was a Marleyan cow!
It must've been a car.
I've definitely heard about those!
Hey! Car! Here, boy!
They're making a scene. Everyone's staring!
All these people are gonna think
we're a bunch of yokels now.
Just act like you don't know 'em.
Come back, car! I promise I'll be nice!
Better get them on a leash.
They'll try and feed the car carrots
if they manage to catch it.
Give 'em more credit than tha...
Wait, are they buying carrots?
There are so many people here.
Stay near me, Eren.
We have no idea what to expect.
You're safest at my side.
You all right?
Yeah, got it.
This is no time to be spacing out, Eren!
We finally reached the outside world!
We really made it across the sea, huh?
We're here.
Guys. Stick with the group.
Especially you, Eren.
Be right there!
Hey, watch where you're walking, kid!
May I please have one?
But, of course!
Here. Enjoy!
Whoa! Sasha! Show some restraint!
How is it cold like that?
I wanna try it!
I take it this is your first time tasting ice cream!
What is this stuff made of?
I'd like one, too, please, sir!
Me, too!
Those idiots. I told 'em not to draw attention.
They stick out, but they won't look like
island devils if they're acting like overgrown kids.
You guys. I swear you've never tasted anything like this!
Hi, little fella. Got some tasty candy for ya.
Wanna try it?
It's real good.
Sharp suit there, bud.
Are you and your friends playing gangster?
There's somethin' delicious off yonder!
What if that's the thing Nicolo mentioned?
Hey! Three more, please!
Sure thing.
Eren. You really need to taste this.
It's ice cream, right?
Uh... You know about it?
I think I saw it somewhere in Dad's memories.
Eldians in the internment zones usually can't get it.
The outside world's massive,
but they don't want us to be part of it.
We didn't recognize it at the time.
Or maybe we refused to let ourselves accept it.
Hey! I don't think that purse belongs to you,
does it, kid?
Huh?
Thief!
Well, look at that. Another enemy immigrant!
How'd you get into Marley?
Bet he stowed away on a ship!
He can't understand us, can he?
We could toss him into the sea!
Nah. I say we smash his hands.
That oughta stop him from picking pockets.
Why don't we string the little rat up
somewhere everyone can see him?
It'll scare off the next thief!
There's no need! Don't hurt him, okay?
I got my purse back, so why go that far?
Young lady, this is about more than just your purse.
All us merchants working in this port
are trying to make an honest living.
We can't allow the riffraff to run around
stealing from our customers!
On top of that, this kid could be a Subject of Ymir.
Blood testing has been picking up like crazy
all over during the past few years.
Now that we know the devils have been
blending in with the rest of us, people are losing sleep over it!
Hey! What do you think you're doing?
I never said he was a pickpocket.
All I said was the purse didn't belong to him.
He owes his big sister an apology for this little prank.
Jeez. That's children for ya!
But what can ya do? Right? It's a family thing!
Huh? Oh! Yeah!
I'm sorry my little brother acted like an idiot, everybody!
Smells like bullshit. You think we're stupid?
Run for it!
Hey! Come back!
Did anyone see where the brat ran off to?
Oh. He's right there.
Well, then.
So much for the Azumabito's pocket change.
I'm sorry you had to go through that.
With improvements in blood testing technology,
countries are beginning to discover that Subjects of Ymir
have been able to sneak out of the internment zones
and blend into the wider population.
The bloodline of Ymir made its way
across Eldian territory when the empire was
at the height of its power, and for many centuries,
the ability to trace one's lineage
back to a Subject of Ymir
served as proof of noble status among the global elite.
But as the Empire crumbled,
the aristocrats who'd been aligned with Eldia
quickly found themselves exiled.
Today, you witnessed the way Eldians are
typically treated beyond the walls.
In light of that, I'm sure you can see
how difficult it will be to convince the world
to engage with the people of Paradis on friendly terms.
Even so.
If we give up on pursuing peace at this point,
our only remaining option will be to throw in
with Zeke and his conspiracy.
We would be leaving our fates entirely up to him
and sacrificing Historia's life, and the lives of her children.
That's right.
We're looking for a way to avoid such a future,
and our search brought us to Marley.
This "Subject of Ymir Protection Group"
will be debuting at the international forum tomorrow.
They may be able to help.
It's possible.
Though I would caution against assuming
your goals and theirs are in alignment.
We're not, and we won't make contact
until we've had a chance to observe them.
If they show promise,
and if they'll agree to hold a meeting with us,
they can help us get our message out into the world.
You've come to make it known that
the people of Paradis wish to coexist in peace?
Yes.
Rest assured, the Azumabito clan will
happily aid you in pursuing said goal.
But... I must wonder how realistic you've been
in assessing your odds of success.
Fact is, chances are slim even if we do everything right.
And we'll be in constant danger.
But still, we at least have to try.
As long as there's a chance, it's our duty to take it.
Far be it from me to tell you otherwise.
Wait a minute. Where's Eren?
Eren!
What are you thinking?
Did you forget we're undercover in enemy territory
and you're their number one target?
Everyone's been out looking for you.
Is that the boy from the market?
Did something happen here?
No, nothing yet.
What does that mean? Is this...
These people are refugees who
lost their homes in Marley's wars.
They're like us.
The world they knew before suddenly ended.
Everything they had was taken.
And the freedom they enjoyed is long gone.
Mikasa. I need to ask you
why you care for me as much as you do.
Because I saved you?
Back when we were little kids?
Or is it more 'cause you see me as family?
Mikasa. What am I to you?
Well...
Y-You're my, uh...
You're my family.
What?
I think that was an invitation.
Hey!
What the hell do you think you're doing, you maniac?
You some kinda moron?
Perfect timing.
Ahh.
Ladies and gentlemen,
this new organization advocates for
the Subjects of Ymir living as refugees around the globe!
These desperate people are not responsible
for the crimes of the Eldian Empire,
but rather, its most tragic victims.
The living legacy of its effort to corrupt
all the peoples of the world with Eldian blood!
The taint of Eldia is all but cleansed from the earth.
There's only one corner where it continues to fester:
the island of Paradis,
where the empire's most loyal subjects fled
in the wake of Marley's victory a hundred years ago.
It is the island devils alone
who pose a true threat to humanity!
That was the day when Eren truly left us.
Later on, he would send us a letter.
He said he was going to leave our futures up to Zeke.
By the next time we saw him, it was too late.
Looking back,
I still don't know if there was some better way.
Maybe everything had already been decided
from the start.
But I can't help wondering.
When he asked me that question...
...what if I'd given him a different answer?
Would we still be in this situation right now?
Where did all of it begin?
Was it there?
No. It doesn't matter where.
Everything happened as I willed it.
Everything begins here.
Eren. There's only one way to break the cycle of violence
for Eldia and the world.
You must support the euthanization plan.
The brass won't be an obstacle.
They've been happily sipping away
at that wine we tainted with spinal fluid.
You're a part of Zeke's plan because he believes in you.
Please return his faith.
For now, I'll pretend to go along with Zeke's plot.
You need to do the same.
Keep your head down for a while.
So we play along with him for now,
but what happens after that?
The MPs are still pushing the same idea.
They wanna turn you into a Titan and have you eat Zeke.
They're not gonna be talked out of it.
You can either fight or flee.
Since I came out here,
I've had more to think about than just raising cattle.
I know what they're planning,
but running and fighting aren't my only options.
If making me a Titan gives us
the best chance of saving the island,
then I'm prepared to do it.
Realistically, it's the only way.
Even so. I'm grateful.
I've got friends who did everything they could for me.
You all fought hard to protect me.
It's enough that you tried, I mean it.
Maybe it is enough for you, but not for me.
I'll trample it to the ground... the whole outside world.
And every person in it.
Men, women, children. Every last one.
That isn't the answer, Eren!
Most of the people out there don't have anything to do with
what we've gone through!
They would die ignorant and terrified, like your mom.
You'll be killing innocent people
for reasons they'll never get to know!
It's horrible. You're right.
But when I'm done, we'll finally be able to
break free of the cycle we've been trapped in
for two thousand years.
Our long history of hate
will be buried in the ruins of civilization.
The MPs. They plan to make you bear children
to be sacrificed for the island.
They'll keep forcing children to eat their parents.
I won't let them.
Eren, please. Don't do it.
I'll have no choice but to try and stop you.
'Cause if I don't, I'll have to live with
the world's blood on my hands.
And I can't.
I know it's a burden, but if you can bear it
till I've got the Founder's power,
I'll make you forget you ever knew it was coming.
How could I, though?
I know you can, 'cause you're the person
who saved my life back in that cavern.
The worst girl who ever lived.
Headaches, huh?
Well. I doubt there's a connection.
It would have to be some genetic illness,
but Mister Ksaver and Marley's researchers
would have made note of that.
Our studies do indicate the Ackermann bloodline
carries some odd quirks.
Powers that activate when their
survival instincts are triggered.
But this theory that she's reflexively guarding her "host"?
To be honest, it seems a little far-fetched to me.
I think it's far simpler than you're making it, Eren.
There are straightforward explanations
for all the behaviors you're describing
that have nothing to do with genetics or conditioning.
She doesn't slaughter Titans out of some
inborn compulsion to keep you alive.
She does it because she adores you.
Hey, Eren, listen.
Well? What do you think you're going to say to her?
That's not a serious question, is it?
Even if everything goes right,
I've only got four more years to live.
What would you think about me having a child?
My life's end date is set,
but my friends will keep living long after I'm gone.
And that's what I want.
What I need.
For them to live long, happy lives.
An allied global fleet.
Nearly all of the largest guns ever manufactured
have been gathered from across the globe,
here, today, off the coast of Marley.
The combined brainpower of the world's nations
is focused entirely on resolving this shared crisis.
It took nothing short of a miracle to even
assemble a fleet of this magnitude.
And by that miracle alone, humanity still clings to hope.
For salvation from this rumbling.
Is that...? Yeah.
It could only be... the Attack Titan!
I'll kill them all.
Every last one.
The world over.
