Lyrics

TV Size

Sind Sie das Essen? Nein, wir sind der Jäger!

踏まれた花の 名前も知らずに
地に墜ちた鳥は 風を待ち侘びる
祈ったところで 何も変わらない
いまを変えるのは 戦う覚悟だ…

屍踏み越えて 進む意思を 嗤う豚よ
家畜の安寧 …虚偽の繁栄 …死せる餓狼の『自由』を!
  
囚われた屈辱は 反撃の嚆矢だ 城壁のその彼方 獲物を屠るJäger
迸るしょうどうに 其の身を灼きながら 黄昏に緋(ひ)を穿つ——
紅蓮の弓矢

Sind Sie das Essen? Nein, wir sind der Jäger!

Fumareta hana no namae mo shirazu ni
Chi ni ochita tori wa kaze o machiwabiru
Inotta tokoro de nani mo kawaranai
Ima o kaeru no wa tatakau kakugo da...

Shikabane fumikoete Susumu ishi o warau buta yo
Kachiku no annei ...Kyogi no han'ei ...Shiseru garō no "Jiyū" o!

Torawareta kutsujoku wa hangeki no kōshi da Jōheki no sono kanata emono o hofuru Jäger
Hotobashiru shōdō ni sono mi o yaki nagara Tasogare ni hi o ugatsu——
Guren no yumiya

Are you the food? No, we are the hunter!

Unknown are the names of the flowers that have been trampled
Birds have fallen to the earth and long for the wind
Prayers will not solve anything
Only the will to fight can change the here and now!

O pigs who laugh at the resolve
to walk over corpses to move forward
Livestock complacency? False prosperity?
Give us the freedom of dying starving wolves!

The humiliation of being caged is what triggers us to fight back
We hunters slaughter prey beyond the castle Walls,
consumed with surging bloodlust,
as our crimson bows and arrows pierce scarlet holes into the twilight

Sind Sie das Essen? Nein, wir sind der Jäger!

Feuerroter Pfeil und Bogen

踏まれた花の 名前も知らずに
地に墜ちた鳥は 風を待ち侘びる
祈ったところで 何も変わらない
いまを変えるのは 戦う覚悟だ…

屍踏み越えて 進む意思を 嗤う豚よ
家畜の安寧 …虚偽の繁栄 …死せる餓狼の『自由』を!
  
囚われた屈辱は 反撃の嚆矢だ 城壁のその彼方 獲物を屠るJäger
迸るしょうどうに 其の身を灼きながら 黄昏に緋(ひ)を穿つ——
紅蓮の弓矢
  
矢を番え追い駈ける やつは逃がさない
矢を放ち追い詰める 決して逃がさない
限界まで引き絞る はち切れそうな弦
やつが息絶えるまで 何度でも放つ

獲物を殺すのは どうぐでも 技術でもない
研ぎ澄まされた お前自身の殺意だ
  
Wir sind der Jäger! 焔のように熱く!
Wir sind der Jäger! 氷のように冷ややかに!
Wir sind der Jäger! 己を矢に込めて!
Wir sind der Jäger! 全てを貫いて征け!

Angriff auf die Titanen
Der Junge von einst wird bald zum Schwert greifen

Wer nur seine Machtlosigkeit beklagt kann nichts verändern
Der Junge von einst wird bald das schwarze Schwert ergreifen
Hass und Zorn sind eine zweischneidige Klinge
Bald eines Tages wird er dem Schicksal die Zähne zeigen

何かを変える事が出来るのは
何かを捨てる事が出来るもの
何ひとつリスク等 背負わないままで 何かが叶う等……

暗愚の想定 …唯の幻影 …今は無謀な勇気も…
『自由』の尖兵 賭けの攻勢
奔る奴隷に勝利を!

架せられた不条理は 進撃の嚆矢だ
奪われた其の地平 『せかい』を望むEren
止めどなきしょうどうに 其の身を侵されながら 宵闇に紫(し)を運ぶ——
冥府の弓矢

Are you the food? No, we are the hunter!

Crimson Bow and Arrow

Not knowing the name of the trampled flower
Birds that have fallen from the sky tire of waiting upon the wind
Prayers won’t change anything
Only the resolve to fight can change the <Undesirable Present Situation>[present]…

You pigs who sneer at our will to step over corpses and march onwards
Enjoy the peace of livestock…false prosperity…"freedom" of the dying wolves that hunger!

The humiliation of entrapment is our cue to counterattack
Beyond the castle Walls lies a <hunter> killing his prey
With a surging <killer impulse> scorching his body, he pierces the dusk scarlet
With a crimson arrow

Drawing his bow, he takes after his target; he won’t let it escape
Releasing his arrow, he closes upon it; he won’t let it escape
He bends his bow to its limits, the string on the verge of snapping
He’ll release it, time and time again, until <his target> draws its last breath

What truly kills a prey are not <weapons>[tools] nor your skills at using it
But your own sharp killing intent

We are the hunter -> passionate as flames!
We are the hunter -> cold as ice!
We are the hunter -> pour your heart and soul into your arrow!
We are the hunter -> boldly go forth and pierce through everything!

Attack on the Titans.
The boy from back then will soon take up the sword.
Who only laments his powerlessness won’t be able to change anything.
The boy from back then will soon take up the black sword.
Hate and rage are a double-edged blade.
Soon, one day, he will bare his fangs against fate.

Ones that could hope to change anything
Are ones who could bear to abandon anything
Without bearing any <risk> at all, how could you hope to attain anything…?

Foolish assumptions…they are but mere phantasms…right now, we could do with even reckless courage…
The advance guards of <freedom>…betting on their offensive
Victory to the charging slaves!

All this absurdity forced upon us are our cue to attack
Deprived of his horizon, <The boy from that day>[Eren] yearns for “freedom"[the world]
With relentless <killer impulse> assailing his body, he carries violet to dusk-
With an arrow from Hades

Opening Animation

In a flurry of light, the crest and gate of Wall Maria stands brightly lit until a colossal force breaks it apart, revealing the title card bound in rushing chains.

On a dark day, the cadets of the 104th Cadet Corps stand amid a field of corpses and fallen blades. Eren, Armin, and Mikasa stand with their gazes to the ground until Mikasa glances upwards at Eren. In the city streets, Titans pour through the breached Wall bringing chaos with them, while elsewhere the 104th Cadet Corps troops dedicate their hearts and later descend from Wall Rose with blades drawn and the Titans awaiting below.

Images begin to flash of the Colossal Titan, a praying mantis eating a moth, a feminine Titan, and another Titan peering into the Garrison HQ. Wall Rose begins to burst apart as Eren falls through the air amid the rubble, his gaze blank until he glances upward in shock.

Through the streets of Trost, the cadets soar through the air with their omni-directional mobility gear, Eren running along the rooftops before soaring upwards to land a killing blow on an unsuspecting Titan. Meanwhile, the Garrison atop Wall Rose fires upon the advancing Titans with cannonfire, and in HQ the cadets make use of firearms to attack the Titans from within a lift. Back atop the Wall, Eren charges through a cloud of smoke and jumps off the edge of the Wall, blades ready to strike at the Colossal Titan below.

The Wings of Freedom, emblem of the Scout Regiment, proudly fly upon a wind-swept flag as a cadet backflips with great agility. In the streets of Trost, cadets soar into the sky by the dozens and descend upon the Titans below. Images of both the manga and anime foreshadowing the events to come flash in rapid succession before Eren, Mikasa, and Armin break through the chaos.

Under a bright midday sun, the 104th cadets look up to the sky in a moment of peace.
