¡°We don¡¯t have to go outside the world for our whole lives. We can eat, sleep and survive just fine here, but isn¡¯t that like being a caged animal?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know what he is either but we have to give our lives for him with as much bravery as we can muster! Pitiful, isn¡¯t it? That this is the only thing we humans can do. We¡¯re probably going to die like insignificant worms, for something we have no guarantee will pay off. So, what will you do? This is the battle we can fight. This is the struggle we can undertake. [¡] I can¡¯t go along with that. I¡¯ll follow the plan. I think what you¡¯re saying is right. But while I struggle, I¡¯ll teach them how terrible human beings can be. Because I refuse to die a dog¡¯s death.¡±
¡°This is a cruel world. And yet, so beautiful.¡±
¡°Fight!! Fight, damnit!! If you don¡¯t fight we¡¯re gonna die. If you win, we live. If you don¡¯t fight, we can¡¯t win.¡±
¡°However, five years ago, that peace came to an end. The Colossus Titan destroyed the gate. And the titans, released from 100 years of hunger, laid waste to the human race again. The humans abandoned their outermost wall. Twenty percent of the population and a third of their domain was lost. The human race was forced to fall back behind the second wall. However, at the same time, humanity awakened.¡±
¡°Since the titans appeared humanity hasn¡¯t beaten them, not once. With them always advancing and humanity always retreating, we¡¯ve been stripped of all but a sliver of our territory! But when this operation succeeds it will be the first time we¡¯ve ever taken our land back! And at that moment for the first time, we¡¯ll triumph over the titans! Compared to what¡¯s been taken from humanity it may be a small thing. But it will mean we¡¯ve finally managed an attack on the titans.¡±
