Prepare for a titan-sized journey through the most mind-blowing moments of this legendary anime!

00:00Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most iconic Attack
00:19on Titan scenes of all time.
00:38Swooping in just in the nick of time, the Survey Corps' mission to stop the rumbling
00:42is saved by a titan shifter, a flying monster and a teenaged assassin… no, that's not
00:49a joke.
00:50After losing her will to fight following her father's presumed death, Annie picked herself
00:54up by her bootstraps and decided to charge into battle no matter what.
01:08What better way to make an entrance than flying on Falco's newly-revealed titan form?
01:13Gabi's there too, and while the trio really took their time arriving on the scene, this
01:18last-minute save sure was worth the wait.
01:21Earlier in the series, we would have said it's impossible to feel anything other than
01:28pure hatred for the beast titan.
01:31But this being Attack on Titan, even Zeke Yeager comes with his own tragic backstory.
01:37It's a real kicker too.
01:48Raised by radicalised parents, hell-bent on destroying Marley, Zeke's only real parental
01:53figure was the previous owner of the beast titan.
01:56Choosing love over vengeance, the boy turned his own parents in for treason.
02:01From there, Zeke pieced his own morality back together with one thing in mind – freeing
02:06Eldia no matter the cost.
02:08Yeah, this show will even make you feel bad for Zeke freakin' Yeager.
02:1348.
02:14Kenny's Death
02:16While he was far from a good man, or really, even a decent one, Kenny the Ripper was still
02:21the closest thing Levi ever had to a father.
02:24It didn't stop them from trading blows when Eren was kidnapped, but it did add a bittersweet
02:30touch to what should have been a cathartic villain death.
02:45There's certainly sadness to the realisation that Kenny was never interested in titans,
02:50cures or parenting.
02:51He was just a guy trying to get his money, and yet, there's a mutual respect in his
02:56last scene with Levi.
02:58Estranged or not, these two meant something to each other.
03:1047.
03:14Annie and Armin Clear the Air
03:16Nothing screams end of the world like some juicy confessions, eh?
03:24Even though most of Annie and Armin's relationship happened when the latter was frozen in crystal,
03:29the rumbling meant there wasn't any time left to play dumb.
03:33Sorry, shippers, it's not quite the declaration of love we wanted.
03:37Instead, the two simply acknowledge how much they've been through together, even if they
03:41weren't always on the same side.
03:48The scene is a breath of fresh air amidst the crushing stakes of the rumbling, and reaffirms
03:53why stopping Eren is so important.
03:56Annie and Armin's differences didn't break them apart, it brought them together.
04:0146.
04:02Eren Gives Mikasa His Scarf
04:04There's no Attack on Titan without Mikasa, and there's no Mikasa without her red scarf.
04:10It's basically a part of her character, and it all started here.
04:13After butchering some uncouth individuals, who definitely had it coming, Eren realises
04:18his neckwear is better off comforting the youthful Mikasa.
04:25Impressively, that small gesture between the kids helps brighten an otherwise horrifically
04:37traumatic moment.
04:39It's a real feat of emotional storytelling, and goes to show why Eren and Mikasa are so
04:44inseparable.
04:45At that moment, he didn't just give her a scarf, he gave her a home.
04:5545.
04:58Leaving Marco To Die
05:06In an epically bad case of wrong place, wrong time, poor Marco stumbles upon his fellow recruits,
05:13just in time to hear them talking about their titanic origins.
05:17Left with no choice, Reiner, Annie and Berthold earn Marco's silence by abandoning him on
05:22the battlefield.
05:24His pained screams are impossible to forget.
05:27It's one thing to hear about the difficult choices the three titan shifters had to make,
05:32but seeing it first hand, especially as it relates to Marco, is enough to make your stomach
05:37turn.
05:38Dying to a titan is bad enough, dying to people you thought were friends is something so
05:43much worse.
05:5544.
05:56There Were Never Any Devils On This Island
06:05When we first meet her, Gabi Brown easily takes the crown as the most hateable character
06:10in the whole series.
06:12How can you really blame her?
06:13She was born, raised and trained to believe Eldians are scum of the earth.
06:18To her, they aren't even people, they're devils.
06:21But Gabi is also the show's most improved character, primarily because of this one breakthrough.
06:28In spite of everything she's done, Gabi receives nothing but kindness from Sasha's
06:33parents, leading to her realisation that the only monsters on Eldia are the titans.
06:39There is nothing more gratifying than a hateable character learning and growing into something
06:44better.
06:5643.
06:57Mikasa Buries Eren At The Tree
07:00Even if it felt inevitable, the end of Attack on Titan is still heartbreaking in all the
07:05right ways.
07:15Once the rumbling has smashed most of humanity to bits, and all the Titan action has died
07:20down, all that's left is Mikasa and the dead body of the person she loved more than
07:25anyone else.
07:26She chooses to bury Eren under the same tree he spent most of his childhood, bringing both
07:31the show and his character full circle.
07:36It's a beautiful conclusion in every way imaginable, and while it's sad to say goodbye
07:43to the Eren we once knew, we can't imagine his journey ending any other way.
07:4942.
07:50Levi Kills Zeke For Good
07:53For the love of Ymir, this was a long time coming.
07:56Levi had cornered Zeke plenty of times before, and yet, the beast titan always managed to
08:02slither his way out.
08:12It's fitting then that Levi only lands the death blow when Zeke lets him.
08:17By the time the anti-hero realises the rumbling was a big fat mistake, the only way to stop
08:22it is to fall on his own sword.
08:25So Zeke sticks out his neck, calls for Levi, and finally finds the peace he spent his whole
08:32life searching for.
08:33Emotional, tense, and moving, this was an extraordinary send-off to one of Attack on
08:38Titan's best characters.
08:4041.
08:42Eren Passes The Test
08:44Joining the Survey Corps is no easy task, and that's with the proper equipment.
08:49While Eren scored high marks in enthusiasm, he couldn't join the ranks until he passed
08:54his ODM test.
09:01He failed and failed and failed, until Commander Pyxis noticed that Eren's gear was sabotaged.
09:08Through pure skill, he managed to nearly overcome a faulty spring.
09:12But with the right equipment, Eren finally proved to everyone that he wasn't all talk.
09:18He was actually pretty good at the ODM movement.
09:21From pathetic rookie to certified prodigy in an instant, no other anime training arc
09:27has ever been so satisfying.
09:3140.
09:33Eren Loses His Head
09:41Say what you will about Gabi, but the kid's a damn good shot.
09:45With the fate of the world on her shoulders, she takes aim, shoots a moving target across
09:50a crowded pavilion, and it's a bullseye.
09:53For the show, it's a grisly, jaw-dropping moment that sees Eren and Zeke fail yet again
09:58to start the rumbling.
10:00For Eren, it's jaw-dropping in another way.
10:03Let's just say this was the kind of headshot that didn't leave with much of a head left
10:07at all.
10:08Whether you're watching it for the blood-soaked carnage, the action-packed drama, or the insane
10:20twist of it all, this is a moment to remember.
10:2439.
10:25Connie's Mom
10:26Back when the Titans' origins were still shrouded in mystery, the Survey Corps went
10:30back to Connie's hometown and made a spine-tingling discovery.
10:35Do you see the mindless mass of flesh sitting on the roof, staring into space?
10:40Connie thinks it looks a lot like his conveniently missing mother.
10:44Yeah, when you connect those dots, it's clear this isn't the homecoming he expected.
10:59The revelation that Titans are at least partly transformed humans is sickening, and seeing
11:04it manifest in the form of Connie's own mother is even worse.
11:09Attack on Titan isn't afraid to give you nightmares, and moments like this prove it.
11:1538.
11:17The Wardrobe Change of the Century
11:20Eren puts on a jacket.
11:22That's it.
11:23That's the whole scene.
11:24But somehow, the execution had the entire Attack on Titan fanbase in a frenzy.
11:35Boasting glorious animation, epic music, and just enough skin, Eren delivered one of the
11:40most talked-about anime moments of the year.
11:43There's really no way to put into words just how crazy the internet went for this
11:47shot of Eren from the trailer.
11:50You just had to be there.
11:51Although the actual scene left a lot to be desired, there's no denying the power Eren
11:56and his jacket holds over us.
12:0137.
12:06Mikasa Blows Reiner to Smithereens
12:09The Armored Titan's unbreakable exterior proved particularly difficult for our heroes
12:13to overcome, at least until they invented Thunder Spears.
12:18After an explosively clutch save from Hange, the Titan's jaw falls wide open, leaving
12:24just enough space for Mikasa to blow Reiner to Marley and back.
12:31Considering the blasts were enough to dent his armoured coating, you can only imagine
12:35what it did to Reiner from the inside.
12:38And boy, does it look awesome.
12:40The animators went all out for this scene.
12:47It's as if even they knew how long we'd waited to see Reiner get his due.
12:5436.
12:55Karla Jaeger's Death
12:57During a rogue Titan attack, Eren can't do a thing as his mother stays behind to lure
13:02the monster away.
13:04Her life ends with a crunch, and just like that, Eren is left galvanised against Titans
13:10for the rest of his life.
13:14Karla's death is as gruesome as they come, especially through the eyes of a child.
13:19Keep in mind, this is the first episode, too.
13:22It's a despicable turn of events that successfully sets the bleak tone for the rest of the entire
13:28series.
13:30Especially in the endgame, when we learn Eren could have stopped it from happening at all.
13:3535.
13:36The coup d'etat
13:37Ever wanted to know what happens when you betray the very people you're sworn to protect?
13:42Just ask the Paradis Nobles.
13:44They left everyone speechless when they decided to bar the gates during a Titan attack, essentially
13:50sacrificing their constituents in order to save their own hide.
14:06Except it was all a ruse meant to flush out the selfish leaders.
14:10Now, with their true motives exposed, the Nobles are quickly dispelled with all the
14:15prejudice they deserve.
14:17It's a vindicating reversal that represents Attack on Titan's political side at its
14:22soapy and vengeful best.
14:3134.
14:33Who Will Inherit the Attack Titan?
14:35Offering a surprising bit of levity, our favourite Titan slayers get a moment of respite
14:40with each other as they ride in the back of a carriage.
14:54To pass the time, they muse over which of them will inherit Eren's titanic powers
14:59once he's gone.
15:00It may sound dark, but everyone's reasons are so heartwarming or hilarious, it's impossible
15:06to end the scene without a smile on your face.
15:08That may not sound like much, but this is Attack on Titan.
15:15The survey corps doesn't get many cheerful moments, so we'll take this one for all
15:20it's worth.
15:2133.
15:23The Owl Saves Grisha
15:25Right when Eren's father is about to be executed via a long and gruesome plummet,
15:30he's suddenly saved by another man named Eren, aka an underground fugitive.
15:36But the rebel leader isn't content just rescuing Grisha.
15:47In a fit of pure, unbridled satisfaction, the owl slits his hand and shows the Marleyans
15:53what Titans can really do.
15:55It's a shocking twist and all, but really, seeing Grisha's tormentors finally get what's
16:00coming to them is the real victory.
16:03If we were Grisha, we'd have pledged our allegiance to the owl too.
16:1232.
16:13I've Always Hated You
16:15At a roundtable discussion meant to ease tensions, you'd think Eren would greet his oldest
16:20friends with a handshake, an embrace, or some words of encouragement, right?
16:25Nope.
16:26Eren instead stands tall, looks Mikasa dead in the eye, and says he's loathed her the
16:31entire time they'd known each other.
16:41The pain in her eyes is plain to see.
16:44To her, this bludgeoning of an insult hurts more than anything a Titan could ever do.
16:51Still, all things considered, it was the audience at home who was left the most shocked by the
17:03realisation that this isn't the Eren Yeager we once knew.
17:0731.
17:08The Rumbling Arrives at Marley
17:10It's bigger, it's badder, it's the rumbling, and finally, it's at Marley's doorstep.
17:17We only wish there was any vindication in it.
17:20Seeing Marley face the consequences of their actions sounds satisfying, but Eren's marching
17:25army of Titans doesn't discriminate between men, children, the innocent, or the guilty.
17:33Whether they played a role in Eldia's persecution or not, they all end up on the bottom side
17:38of a Titan's foot.
17:40It's a disturbing sequence that paints the rumbling in all its gruesome reality.
17:48Yeah, Marley had a good reason to be scared all this time.
18:0430.
18:05Levi vs. Female Titan
18:07Ah yes, just when we were starting to learn what an absolute unit Captain Levi is.
18:18After Eren gets himself soundly defeated and swallowed by the female Titan, it falls to
18:24Levi to once again leap into the fray and save him, which he accomplishes in style.
18:29Despite the Titan shifter's reach and flexibility, Levi is in a whole other league, tearing through
18:35her flesh before stabbing her in both eyes at once.
18:42As if he would let anyone other than himself chew out Eren.
18:5029.
18:51Beast vs. Armored Titan vs. Mideast Alliance
18:59The final season certainly started off with a bang, we just didn't expect to see the
19:03Marleyans bring the boom.
19:05Four years after their failed attempt to secure the founding Titan, Reiner and Zeke are left
19:09to deal with the consequences when Marley's surrounding nations decide to take a shot
19:14at challenging the power of the Titans.
19:16Their upgraded artillery certainly proves effective, but there's only so much you can
19:20do when the Beast and Armored Titan come crashing down from above, along with a legion of pure
19:26Titans to serve as fodder.
19:33This is how Marley handles warfare, and it is brutal.
19:4128.
19:42Levi beats the crap out of Eren
19:45Seeing a member of the Survey Corps suddenly transform into a Titan is bound to raise a
19:49few eyebrows.
19:50Despite sealing up trust, Eren is put on trial, with the military police gung-ho about executing
19:56him.
20:00Thankfully, Levi steps in with the proposal of moving Eren into his custody, where the
20:05Survey Corps can keep a close eye on his Titan abilities.
20:09But not before giving a practical demonstration that they can keep him under control by beating
20:15in his face for a whole lot of minutes.
20:18Painful, yet effective.
20:2627.
20:27Ymir's transformation
20:29Sassy and sarcastic with the hots for Krista, that's all we knew about Ymir from the first
20:34season.
20:38Then she revealed that beneath all that snark, there was so much more.
20:45After their castle stronghold comes under attack from a horde commanded by the Beast
20:49Titan, the ill-prepared corps have no way out.
20:52At least, until Ymir leaps into the fray and turns into a Titan herself.
21:02It was so out of the blue, so unexpected, that it took everyone for a loop, showing
21:07that there was way more to this firecracker than we first thought.
21:15It's the rematch we were all waiting for.
21:17With Annie's identity as the female Titan revealed, Eren goes on the warpath, leading
21:22to the dude duking it out behind the walls, and pretty much smashing apart anyone unfortunate
21:27enough to get caught under them.
21:35In spite of her hardening ability allowing her to cut through his defences, Annie's
21:40survival instinct has got nothing on Eren's rage.
21:43Losing himself to the monster within, all Annie can do is reassess her life choices,
21:48as she comes within inches of being consumed by the jaws of death.
21:59Oh, and there are Titans inside the walls, go figure.
22:08The final battle with the founding Titan was never going to be easy, but it seemed to go
22:12far worse than anyone could have imagined.
22:15First, Armin was captured.
22:24Then, all the past Titan incarnations manifested and relentlessly attacked our heroes.
22:30Just when it seemed absolutely hopeless, Armin had an important conversation with Zeke on
22:35the other side.
22:36It was by his will that he was able to pass a message to lots of old faces, leading to
22:42their Titan forms rebelling against their master.
22:53With this assist, they were finally able to free Armin once again, giving them another
22:58faint glimmer of hope to stop Eren.
23:11The Special Operations Squad may not have had as much time to develop compared to the
23:15likes of Mikasa, Jean and the rest, but they were still an endearing group, especially
23:20when it came to Petra.
23:31Fiercely loyal to the likes of Levi, they were some of the best the Survey Corps had
23:35to offer, and we got to watch the female Titan tear them apart one by one.
23:42In spite of their top-tier skills, the female Titan's strategy and killer instinct proved
23:48to be their undoing, each meeting a tragic end that probably still keeps Eren up at night.
24:05Ironically, one of the best fights in Attack on Titan doesn't involve actual Titans at
24:10all.
24:11It's just Levi, a decade-old grudge, and a whole lot of glorious ODM action.
24:16Levi doesn't let Kenny take Eren and Historia without a fight, that's for sure.
24:21The sheer sense of speed and momentum conveyed in every single one of his moves is truly
24:27a sight to behold, especially considering he manoeuvred his way through all of Kenny's
24:32squad with only a few scratches to show for it.
24:41Even though Levi failed to rescue Eren and Historia, this aerobic counterattack is a
24:46winner in every other way that counts.
24:55There have been plenty of unsettling and visceral deaths across this series, though none have
25:00ever come close to matching the horror of Miike's demise.
25:03With a nose for trouble, this veteran member of the Survey Corps appeared to be the kind
25:08of soldier that could cut his way through any predicament.
25:11And that might still be true if he were dealing with the average Titan.
25:18Alas, he tangled with the Beast Titan, who promptly disabled his manoeuvre gear before
25:23feeding him to his underlings.
25:25All in graphic detail.
25:27His screams still haunt us to this day.
25:31Given how we had just watched his new allies get splattered across the forest floor, it's
25:39easy to see why Eren might have lost his temper and thrown himself into a brawl with the female
25:44Titan.
25:51Enraged, the rogue Titan goes all out, only to be swiftly defeated by his opponent's
25:56superior dexterity and utilisation of its Titan abilities.
26:10Concluding with a gnarly decapitation, it's one of Eren's soundest defeats, and the
26:15battle that showed this gigantic femme fatale was not to be messed with.
26:20An uncharacteristically serene way to cap off the third season, like all things Attack
26:26on Titan, there is both beauty and darkness in abundance here.
26:37Armin's reaction to seeing the ocean with his own eyes resonates deeply.
26:42It's such a heart-warming moment, as these embittered soldiers get to experience this
26:50natural wonder for themselves.
26:52At least until we see Eren, who, since finding out the truth about Marley and his father,
26:57can only focus on what's on the horizon – a whole bunch of people they have to kill
27:02in order to achieve true freedom.
27:1219.
27:13Erwin Charges Into Battle
27:18Genius tactician, uncompromising leader, demon atop a mountain of corpses, Erwin Smith was
27:24all these things.
27:25And it's fair to say, without him, everyone behind the walls would have been killed off
27:29a long time ago.
27:31The only thing more impressive than his list of deeds is his death, which stands tall as
27:36equally heartbreaking and awe-inspiring.
27:42Faced with the Beast Titan's non-stop barrage of projectiles, Erwin musters his terrified
27:52troops for a sacrificial operation that ultimately claims their lives – but not before delivering
27:58one hell of a speech.
28:0718.
28:08Historia Rejects Her Father
28:11How is it possible for someone to go from background character to best girl in a single
28:19episode?
28:20Well, if you're Historia, you reject your father's maniacal plan to keep the status
28:25quo, destroy the Titan Serum, damn well break his back, and just to top it off, tells Eren
28:32to man the hell up.
28:41It's all kinds of amazing, and a standout moment of character growth that would take
28:47Historia all the way from the resident nice girl, to the queen that humanity desperately
28:52needed.
28:5817.
28:59Breaking the Walls
29:00This is where it all started, with the looming, inhuman face of the colossal Titan as it sent
29:06countless innocents to their doom.
29:11Shattering years of supposed peace with a single strike of its knee, the skinless giant
29:18paved the way for dozens of Titans to just waltz in and start devouring their way through
29:24Eren's hometown.
29:29Of course, this was a two-man operation, since the inner wall was also broken down thanks
29:34to the Armored Titan and that unbreakable shoulder charge of his.
29:4116.
29:45Eren Gets Eaten
29:46So much for all that spunk.
29:48Eager for combat and vengeance, Eren wastes no time leaping into the action during his
29:53first combat encounter.
29:54While motivated and possessing a decent amount of skill following his graduation, things
29:59don't go according to plan when a random Titan snaps off his leg and sends him into
30:04a tailspin.
30:05His sheer force of willpower might have been enough to save Armin from meeting the same
30:09fate, but in his wounded state, Eren was essentially Titan Chao.
30:14While him emerging unscathed from his transformation state is also worthy of note, we still feel
30:19this has more punch.
30:21Or bite.
30:2815.
30:29Assault on the Jaegerists
30:31Former friends or not, Eren's band of radical recruits stood between the resistance and
30:37stopping the rumbling.
30:38Comparing their lives to everyone's on Mali and beyond, the choice was already made.
30:43But that didn't make it easy.
30:50Even in a show with plenty of grisly character deaths, it's still sobering to see Mikasa,
30:55Jean and the others turn their blades against old friends.
30:59Although, that's slightly mitigated by how epic it is to finally see Annie and Reiner
31:05join the frontlines in all their titanic glory.
31:13Whether for the bloodshed or the backstabs, this is certainly a showdown to remember.
31:2114.
31:22Armin or Erwin
31:24Who do you choose?
31:25The one humanity needs, or the one it deserves?
31:28With both hanging on death's door, and only one sample of Titan serum, Levi is forced
31:33to make a crucial decision about who to save.
31:41It's a moral dilemma that forces the core and the audience to pick a side.
31:45Head or heart?
31:46Hopeful or pragmatic?
31:50Despite settling on Erwin as the candidate, the dying words of his friend give Levi cause
31:55to change his mind, ensuring that Armin lives to see another day, now with the power of
32:01the colossal Titan at his disposal.
32:1013.
32:11Eren is stopped
32:12With all other options out the window, Armin throws hands with Eren, whilst all the others
32:17hold back the source of all living matter, so that it can't merge with Eren once again.
32:28There's only a single person who can finish the job.
32:31If there's one thing Mikasa never wanted, it was for Eren to perish.
32:42Unfortunately for her, that's what it had come to, and it was by her hand.
32:46With an assist from Levi, she finally finds herself face-to-face with the one person she
32:51loves most.
32:52It was then that she had to deliver the sweet kiss of death.
33:0012.
33:01Lifting the boulder
33:02Moments of triumph are certainly few and far between in this show, so any time Eren and
33:07the rest emerge victorious against impossible odds is always something to celebrate.
33:19Despite initially losing himself to his Titan form, a few choice words from Armin bring
33:24Eren back to his senses, allowing him to complete his mission of sealing up trust.
33:31The swelling of the music, combined with the chants from his friends, really adds a gravitas
33:40to it all, topped off with the Attack Titans' iconic roar.
33:5411.
33:55Give Your Heart, Hange
33:57If there's such a thing as a happy march to death, it's this.
34:00With the rumbling first approaching, Hange gives her team a necessary head start by single-handedly
34:06slowing down the army of Colossals.
34:16It means swinging towards certain death, but Hange doesn't seem to mind.
34:20This is essentially the culmination of her life's research, and she's enjoying every
34:25single second of it.
34:26Quite frankly, we can't think of a better way for her to go out.
34:34Afterwards, Hange's welcomed to the afterlife by a council of her fallen allies, proving
34:40that she really did give her heart until the very end.
34:4410.
34:45Sasha's End
34:46In Attack on Titan, heart-wrenching character deaths come with the territory, but it's
34:51one thing to lose a soldier in action, and another to say goodbye to the potato-thieving
34:56heart of the Survey Corps, Sasha.
34:59If anyone deserved a happy ending, or at least a last meal, it was her.
35:04The most painful part is how utterly anticlimactic it feels.
35:10Sasha didn't get a grand last act on the battlefield.
35:13In fact, she wasn't even in combat at all.
35:16The attack on Marley was over, but that didn't stop Gabi from sneaking aboard their ship
35:21and shooting Sasha dead just like that.
35:24And she calls these guys devils.
35:309.
35:31Levi vs. Beast Titan
35:33The purest example of Levi's badassery can all be found right here.
35:39Following on from the Survey Corps' sacrificial mission, humanity's strongest soldier makes
35:45his move, getting in close enough so that he can finally tear into Zeke.
36:00While the hairy bastard certainly has size on his side, he's in no way prepared for Levi's
36:05speed and ferocity, wherein he proceeds to slice the big ape apart until the scumbag
36:11inside is ripped out.
36:13Where he too experiences Levi's special brand of Eren training.
36:218.
36:22The Scream
36:23While hindsight would bring a whole new dimension of hype to this scene, even self-contained,
36:28it's still a vital moment that brings one of Eren's many torturous arcs full circle.
36:33And that's revenge against the Titan that ate his mother.
36:41After the smiling Titan kills his friend in a traumatically similar fashion to Karla Jaeger,
36:46all Eren can do is let out the biggest scream of his life.
36:55Unknowingly activating the coordinate within, the surrounding Titans bend to Eren's will
37:00and rip the smile right off its face.
37:03Poor Dina.
37:167.
37:17The Rumbling Begins
37:18Eren spent years trying to activate the Rumbling, and when he finally got his wish, it did not
37:24disappoint.
37:25On a conceptual level, the scale of a hundred colossal Titans waking up is hard to put into
37:30words.
37:31Luckily, the destruction they leave in their wake speaks for itself.
37:38At this point, all anyone can do is watch, wait, and pray.
37:42After all, it doesn't take Armin's brains to realise that, with firepower like this,
37:47Eren can trample just about anything he wants.
37:55With that realisation, it's clear that the Rumbling isn't just a threat to humanity.
38:00It's the end of the world as we know it.
38:036.
38:04Historia Lands the Kill Shot
38:06Continuing the trend of Historia being the best, the way in which she puts to rest not
38:11only her father, but the legacy of the First King was just monumental.
38:17As Rod Rice's Titan form is blown to pieces thanks to Eren ramming a whole bunch of explosives
38:27into its gaping face hole, Historia is the one to slice apart the remains of its nape,
38:33killing the Rice Patriarch once and for all, and ushering in a new age for those behind
38:38the walls.
38:46And that's how you become both a hero and a monarch all in one day.
38:565.
38:57The Truth of Grisha's Past
38:59Years ago, Eren's father massacred the Rice family to secure the power of the Titans.
39:04Or so we thought.
39:06No one could have predicted what really happened that night.
39:17When Grisha's conviction started to waver, Eren manipulated time itself to urge his father
39:24down this gory path.
39:27Just like that, the entirety of Attack on Titan turned on its head.
39:31The revelation proved that, while Grisha did kill the Rice family, the blood was on Eren's
39:36hands.
39:37He wasn't going to let anything stand in his way.
39:40Not Grisha's morals, not the death of the Rice children, and not the fabric of time
39:45itself.
39:524.
39:53Reiner and Bertholdt Revealed
39:55The betrayal that has yet to be surpassed.
39:58The way in which Reiner, in a moment of madness, revealed that he and Bertholdt were the Armoured
40:03and Colossal Titans was a low-key bombshell.
40:07From there, all bets are off, as the traitor soldiers go all out in an effort to capture
40:14Eren.
40:23The emotional devastation of witnessing the two most trusted members of the unit be ousted
40:28as the instigators of their shared tragedy is only matched by the preceding heavyweight
40:33Titan showdown.
40:34As you can imagine, Eren was not a happy bunny that day.
40:473.
40:48Eren vs. Warhammer Titan
40:50After four years of honing his skills, Eren put up his dukes again for some explosive
40:55Titan-on-Titan action.
40:57There's a pretty big catch, though.
40:59In this case, the Warhammer Titan wasn't the only thing in the line of fire.
41:04While this is easily one of the coolest throwdowns in the series, it's hard to appreciate it
41:09when Eren's tearing through innocent civilians at the same time.
41:17Even if they are Marleyans, his complete disregard for their lives made it clear that he wasn't
41:22the same Eren we once knew.
41:24For the first time, we weren't just scared for Eren, we were scared of him.
41:302.
41:35Eren defeats the Colossal Titan
41:37Able to produce explosions of steam larger than every Titan combined, Bertholdt's Titan
41:43form appeared to be borderline invulnerable.
41:47With even the Thunder Spears proving useless, taking it down seemed out of the question.
41:52At least, until Armin and Eren pulled off their biggest win thus far.
42:00Full credit to Armin for nearly burning to death just to create an opportunity to spring
42:05a counterattack.
42:06But we still can't get over how Eren, in his human form, appeared from behind and took
42:12down the Behemoth with the ultimate surprise p*** in anime.

42:39Declaration of War
42:41Beyond the heartbreak, bloodshed and plot twists, the most electric scene in Attack
42:46on Titan is two people talking in a room.
42:49Eren and Reiner's discussion of war and guilt is a masterful summation of the series
42:54to that point, and also a brilliant preface for what's to come.
43:00In a reveal that deserves to be seen for itself, Eren confesses he doesn't want peace anymore.
43:16He wants vengeance.
43:18Then, with one hell of a transformation, Eren officially becomes the villain he always had
43:23to be.
43:24It's incredible, exhilarating, and most of all, ironic.
43:28Willy was totally right.
43:30Eren is a danger to world peace.
43:33And this is a declaration of war, just not Willy's.
