Attack on Titan Episode 83: Pride

A half day earlier, a person named Hange discreetly kills a soldier who comes looking for his friend, in order to keep their hiding place with a motionless individual named Levi safe. Hange assures Levi that those were the last of their pursuers. As Hange sutures Levi's face, they speculate that the only reason he is not already dead from his wounds and escaped his unit being transformed into large, humanoid creatures is because of his family lineage.

Disheartened, Hange sits and mulls over their problems since the soldiers took over. Flashing back to a man's words, Hange wonders if it is now their turn to be locked in a cell even though they thought they did the right thing. They half-heartedly suggest to Levi that they remain living isolated out in the woods, which is when a person named Eren informs people across the world about his intentions.

Levi stirs following the announcement, and after making him lie down again, Hange briefs him on what he missed while unconscious. Levi laments losing another person named Zeke again, not having foreseen the man's readiness to die. Hange understands this means Levi has lost another chance to avenge a person named Erwin and begins to lay down their situation, but Levi asks them what would be left if they ran and hid. Besides, he knows Hange would not stop, and asks them about the makeshift litter they are crafting and if it is for him.

In the present, Levi and Hange talk with a man named Theo Magath and a woman named Pieck. They discover that their two groups are similarly interested in tracking down Zeke. Hange believes he is being held by Eren and a powerful, large humanoid creature to make use of his royal blood.

As a person named Conny and a boy named Falco camp overnight in the woods, Conny tries to think of how best to feed Falco to his mother without accidentally causing Falco to learn about his new abilities. Guilt begins to eat at him as he realizes that Falco has been very well behaved and trusting around him despite Conny's suspicious behavior.

In the morning, they arrive in a village. Falco reveals that he saw Conny before when a girl named Gabi killed a person named Sasha. After overhearing Conny muttering Sasha's name the previous night, Falco knows that Conny must have brought him here for a reason with full knowledge of who he was. Conny says he is not interested in revenge, because things like that happen in battle, and he draws back the curtains covering the house his mother's large humanoid creature is trapped inside. He reassures Falco that the creature cannot move and makes an awkward suggestion that Falco join him in cleaning the creature's teeth since this is an unusual opportunity.

Just then, Gabi and a person named Armin ride up with Gabi shouting for Falco to get away because Conny is going to feed him to the creature. In response, Conny quickly takes Falco hostage with a blade at his throat. As Conny climbs the ladder beside his mother's creature, Gabi tries to explain to Falco that he has a specific type of large humanoid creature now. As she fears for his life, Armin remembers his personal feeling of not living up to Erwin's legacy and charges in on his mobility gear. He lands on the beam above the creature's mouth and prepares to throw himself in. Realizing Armin is about to sacrifice himself to save Falco, Conny drops the boy and saves Armin.

As Gabi catches Falco up on the previous day, Conny asks Armin what his backup plan would have been, and Armin says Conny's mother becoming human would have been the backup. Conny also knows that she would not want to have become a specific type of large humanoid creature. He feels as though he has let her down now, having almost killed a child and his friend, but he realizes that he still wants to be the kind of soldier she would be proud of and suggests that they go save some people.

In a district, a person named Mikasa finds a mortally injured person named Louise in an infirmary. Louise asks if she came looking for her or for her scarf, which Louise is wearing around her neck. Mikasa makes it clear she is there for the scarf, to Louise's disappointment. Louise says she spoke to Eren about her and Eren wanted to have the scarf thrown away. On hearing this, Mikasa immediately requests her scarf back. As she leaves, Louise reminds her that she became a soldier after being inspired by Mikasa, and she does not regret any of it.

At the fort, a person named Floch rallies the soldiers with a person named Jean standing solemnly behind him. A soldier asks Mikasa if she is going to join their group and she declines.

Outside, with the last of the large humanoid creatures from the walls having departed and rescue operations resolved, the city is festive with food and drink being made widely available in celebration. Armin, Conny, Gabi, and Falco take advantage of the opportunity to get food rather than immediately meeting up with a person named Reiner who Gabi expects will still be unconscious for a long time. While eating, they bump into a person named Annie who leaves a person named Hitch a note that she will be joining them.

At sunset, on top of the fort, Floch announces the executions of a person named Yelena and a person named Onyankopon for opposing the Eldian Empire. He details her crimes and asks Yelena if she has any last words. She drily asks if he is going to shoot already. Despite the jeers from the crowd, Floch declines to do so immediately and moves on to Onyankopon. Since Onyankopon did not know of the euthanization plan, Floch gives him another chance to avoid death by accepting the rule of the Eldian Empire.

Onyankopon cracks at this. Though he was trying to free his homeland from another nation, he genuinely wanted to help the Eldian people when he joined a group of volunteers, and now because of it, his homeland will be crushed by a massive event and his family slain, leaving the xenophobes on the island as the only surviving people. Appealing to their generosity is not worth it. He tries to get the soldiers to understand how insane it is to massacre the entire world, but finds no sympathy. When he attempts to get through to Jean, Jean shoots his gun to cut him off and then fires three additional bullets in a steady rhythm.

However, Onyankopon is still alive and Floch notices with irritation that all four of Jean's bullets have landed in the ground between Onyankopon and Yelena. When Floch asks what is going on, Jean deadpans that he missed.

Answering the signal, a specific type of large humanoid creature barrels up the side of the fort and lunges through the group. Jean pushes Floch out of the way and is caught inside the creature's jaws along with Yelena and Onyankopon. Floch initially buys the deception as the creature runs away, and shouts for someone to send Mikasa after the creature, but then he realizes that he does not know where Mikasa is.

Inside the ground floor of the fort itself, Mikasa, Armin, Conny, and the rest of their group have loaded carts with supplies. With Pieck distracting everyone as the creature, they escape with their haul out the other side of the fort. As they leave, Annie notices that someone is watching them go.

Once outside the city, as they heave from being inside the creature's mouth, Onyankopon asks when they joined forces with the other nation and Jean reveals it was only the night before. Onyankopon is surprised because Jean could have had a nice life with the soldiers, and Jean knows that, but if he did, a pile of bones would not leave him alone. Apart from them, Yelena wonders why she was spared, and Hange reveals that it was a request from the people of the other nation to secure their cooperation.

Elsewhere, Annie rudely awakens Reiner; he discovers his former comrades have found him although Gabi and Falco assure him that they are all allies now. Conny tells him that they are going to save the world.
