Attack on Titan: Episode – "The Day Titans Returned"

Episode Summary: Two years have passed since Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Kaito, and their fellow recruits began their training. Now 14 years old, the group is about to graduate and join different squads. However, the return of the Colossal Titan changes everything. As the wall is breached once again, chaos unfolds, and the cadets must face their first real battle with the Titans.

Scene 1: Two Years Later – Graduation Day

The episode opens with the cadets lined up in formation as they graduate from their training. Keith Shadis delivers his final speech.

Keith: "You’ve spent two years learning the skills to fight. Some of you will join the Garrison to defend the walls. Others will join the Survey Corps to fight Titans beyond them. And some will take the easy route in the Military Police. Whatever you choose, remember this: Humanity's survival depends on your strength and resolve."

Eren stands proudly with Mikasa, Kaito, and Armin. Eren’s fiery determination has only grown stronger, while Kaito looks more confident and composed. Armin seems more nervous but holds his head high.

Keith: "When I call your name, step forward to receive your assignment."

The cadets are assigned to different teams:

Eren, Mikasa, Kaito: Assigned to the Survey Corps (as part of the top ten cadets, they choose this path).

Armin: Assigned to the Garrison, despite hesitations about his physical abilities, due to his intelligence and tactical potential.

Jean Kirstein: Chooses the Military Police to stay safe inside the walls.

Sasha Blouse: Joins the Survey Corps, joking about how she’ll bring snacks for everyone.

Krista Lenz and Reiner Braun: Assigned to the Survey Corps, sharing a camaraderie with the group.

Scene 2: The Return of the Colossal Titan

Just as the ceremony concludes, a deafening boom shakes the ground. A massive burst of steam envelops the top of Wall Rose, and the towering figure of the Colossal Titan emerges.

Eren: "It’s back... The Colossal Titan!"

Mikasa grabs her ODM gear, already in action.

Mikasa: "We need to evacuate everyone. Titans will follow."

The Colossal Titan slams its foot into the wall, creating a massive breach. The cadets look on in horror as Titans pour through. Keith Shadis shouts orders.

Keith: "Garrison, evacuate the civilians! Survey Corps, prepare to engage the Titans!"

Armin: "There’s no time to think... We have to act!"

Scene 3: First Encounter with Titans

The team is split into small groups to handle the situation.

Team 1: Eren, Mikasa, Kaito, and Sasha are tasked with defending the breach and delaying the Titans.

Team 2: Armin and Jean join the Garrison to evacuate civilians.

Team 3: Reiner and Krista provide support for Team 1.

Eren's team heads straight for the breach, where several Titans are already approaching.

Kaito: "There’s no turning back now. Let’s show these Titans what we’ve got!"

Sasha uses her speed and agility to distract a Titan, while Mikasa moves in with precision to take it down. Eren charges at another Titan but hesitates for a moment when he sees its terrifying face.

Eren (to himself): "I can’t freeze now. This is what I trained for."

Before the Titan can grab him, Kaito swoops in, using his ODM gear to slice its arm.

Kaito: "Focus, Eren! We’re in this together."

Eren regains his composure and successfully lands his first kill, shouting, "That’s for my mother!"

Scene 4: Armin’s Bravery

Meanwhile, Armin and Jean are helping civilians evacuate. Despite his fear, Armin devises a clever strategy to guide people to safety, using rooftops to avoid Titan routes. Jean, initially reluctant, follows Armin’s lead.

Jean: "You’re smarter than I thought, Armin. Maybe you’re not as useless as I said."

Armin ignores the comment, focused on saving as many people as possible.

Scene 5: The Colossal Titan Disappears

Eren and the others face off against more Titans near the breach. Suddenly, the Colossal Titan vanishes in a burst of steam, leaving the cadets stunned.

Mikasa: "It’s gone. But the Titans are still coming through the wall."

As the team regroups, a familiar face appears: Hannes, a member of the Garrison.

Hannes: "Kids, you did well holding them off. But this fight is far from over."

Scene 6: Aftermath and Reflection

After hours of fighting, the cadets are pulled back to regroup. The breach is temporarily sealed by the Garrison using barricades. Exhausted and battered, Eren sits with his friends, his hands trembling.

Eren: "We’re not strong enough. Not yet. But I’ll never stop fighting until every last Titan is gone."

Kaito places a hand on Eren’s shoulder, his usual smirk replaced with a serious expression.

Kaito: "We’ll get stronger, Eren. Together."

Mikasa silently watches over them, while Armin, sitting nearby, begins sketching ideas for a better strategy to defend the walls.
