The new series of the anime "Attack on Titan" is currently airing and receiving rave reviews! It's filled with fascinating characters, and their quotes are truly touching. This article introduces some of the most memorable quotes from "Attack on Titan." From nostalgic quotes to more recent ones, this is a must-read for all Attack on Titan fans!
Quote Ranking #10: "It's up to us to give meaning to those soldiers!"
This quote comes from Erwin in Volume 20, Chapter 80 of the manga. During the Maria recapture mission, he decides to sacrifice his own life and the lives of the remaining recruits in order to secure victory for humanity. "It is we who give meaning to those soldiers! Those brave dead! Those pitiful dead! Only we, the living, can remember them! We die here and entrust meaning to the next living! That is the only way! We can resist this cruel world! Rage, soldiers! Shout, soldiers! Fight!"
Persuasion and Self-Motivation
If we all die eventually, does that mean there is no meaning to life? Not necessarily. These lines are meant to persuade the recruits who must go to their deaths, and to motivate themselves, knowing that they will soon die, even though their dreams are so close to being realized.
Famous Quote Ranking #9 "...I just don't want to be disappointed by some charred bone that belongs to no one..."
This line by Jean Kirstein appears in Volume 6, Chapter 23 of the manga. Jean originally intended to join the Military Police and live a safe life in the mainland, but the death of his friend Marco led him to join the Scout Regiment. Without this, Jean probably wouldn't have joined the Scout Regiment.
Famous Quote Ranking #8: "Those who can't throw anything away can't change anything."
This is a famous quote from Armin, appearing in Volume 7, Chapter 27 of the manga. Erwin predicted the existence of the Female Titan, but didn't inform many soldiers. As a result, soldiers were killed, and Jean expressed his frustration at Erwin for this. Armin responded: "If there is anyone who can change something, it is surely someone who can throw away what is important to them. Someone who can throw away their humanity if they are forced to surpass even monsters. Those who can't throw anything away can't change anything."
Famous Quote Ranking #7: "Do you think the person next to you will still be there tomorrow?"
This line from Levi appears in Volume 14, Chapter 56 of the manga. Historia was suddenly entrusted with the important role of queen, but she refused. Levi grabbed her by the collar and told her, "I'll use every means necessary to make you obey me, so if you don't want that, then fight." It's ruthless. These are the lines Levi spoke to the confused 104th Cadet Corps members.
The Heart That Cherishes His Friends
It may be hard to understand, but this line conveys Levi's deepest feelings toward his friends. With no idea when the walls will be destroyed and the Titans will attack, no one knows when he might lose a friend. Having lost a precious friend before, Levi is perhaps prepared for this.
Famous Quote Ranking #6: "I guess we all needed to be drunk on something to get through this..."
This line by Kenny Ackerman appears in Volume 17, Chapter 69 of the manga. Just before his death, Kenny reflects on his life. He realizes the cruel truth that every human he's ever met has been a slave of some kind. In this heartbreaking world, he too has become one of the dying soldiers.
Famous Quote Ranking #5: "That's why this child is already great. He was born into this world."
This line from Carla Yeager appears in Chapter 71 of Volume 17 of the manga. Carla tells her son Eren that he doesn't need to become great. This is a famous quote from Carla, who spoke to Keith, who lamented the idea of remaining an ordinary person and dying without accomplishing anything. As a mother, Carla affirms Eren simply for the fact that he was born. This sentiment, shared by neither Eren nor Grisha, is unique to Carla. It's a truly moving quote.
Quote Ranking #4: "Choose for yourself the path you'll have no regrets about."
This is a line from Levi, appearing in Volume 6, Chapter 25 of the manga. After witnessing his comrades being killed one after another by the Female Titan, Eren disobeys his superior's orders and attempts to transform into a Titan of his own volition. Levi responds with these words. These are Levi Ackerman's words to Eren, who is refusing to follow his superior's orders and attempting to transform into a Titan. "I don't know. It's always been like this... Even if I believe in my own strength, even if I believe in the choices of my trustworthy comrades... no one knew the outcome... so... well, at best... choose the option that will leave you with no regrets."
Compassion for his subordinates, born from his past experiences
As we learn in the spinoff "No Regrets," which depicts Levi's past, he has lost important comrades in the past. No matter what choice you make, you never know what will happen in this cruel world. So, these words show his compassion for his subordinates, granting them the right to choose for themselves.
Famous Quote Ranking #3: "This is the story you started."
This line, spoken by Eren Kruger to Grisha in Volume 22, Chapter 88 of the manga. Grisha, seeking freedom, refuses to fight because the price is heavier than he expected. However, as a child, Grisha brought his sister to the world outside the walls. Until his actions are rewarded, they must continue fighting, even if it means death. The message conveyed is that since you started your own story, you must keep moving forward.
Famous Quote Ranking #2: "Don't die, Ymir! Don't die in a place like this!"
In order to protect the 104th cadets, who are surrounded by Titans and in danger of losing their lives, Ymir transforms into a Titan herself to protect them. At that moment, Christa utters the following lines: "Don't die, Ymir! Don't die in a place like this! Why are you pretending to be a good person?! Do you really want to die so coolly, you idiot?! You're so corrupted, you think you can go to heaven now, you idiot! Live for yourself! If you're going to die defending this tower, then just destroy it!" Many fans were touched by this line from Christa (Historia), who is usually referred to as a goddess.
Famous Quote #1: "Because I was born into this world!"
And the top spot on the ranking goes to a line from Eren in Volume 4, Chapter 14. Armin asks Eren why he wanted to go outside. This famous line answers that question. Humans are born with freedom. Even if the threat of Titans is terrifying, we still desire freedom. Eren shouts this line in search of freedom. This sentiment runs deep within "Attack on Titan."
The "Attack Titan" is a Titan seeking freedom.
The "Attack Titan" here refers to the "Attack Titan," one of the "Nine Titans" that appear in the story. While the Attack Titan does not have unique abilities like other Titans, it has always fought for freedom and is passed down to those with a strong desire for freedom. Eren is currently the one who possesses the Attack Titan's powers. It turns out that Eren was truly the perfect candidate for them.
